Chapter 16: On the Road to the Darts

"Ding Darthead, it's your turn." Xin Darttou obviously disdained to fight the man again, and smiled at the person watching the excitement next to him.

Ding Darttou reluctantly walked towards the man and laughed at himself: "Alas, I can see that as long as I follow you, I am a character who picks up garbage." It seems that it is common for the two to cooperate like this.

The man's right arm could not be raised, and his internal organs were wounded, and knowing that he was invincible, he threw out a hidden arrow in his left hand, turned and ran. As soon as he took two steps, his ankles were entangled and bound by something, and he hung upside down in an instant.

Gu Shengchao saw it clearly, the blade made by Ding Dart's head was like a woman's twine for spinning, and the regiment could be ejected as much as he wanted in the palm of his hand, hanging the man upside down under the treetops. He walked over slowly and asked, "How is it, do you accept it?" ”

"Serve, I serve, please let me go, I'll do it, even as a handyman, as long as you don't kill me." The man was visibly frightened and begged for mercy.

"Really?" Ding Dart's face was murderous, he popped out a thin line and flew straight to the weapon rack in the distance, brought back the handle of the ghost head big knife, and casually threw it at the feet of one of the thin men of Gu Shengchao, frightening the thin man to retreat again and again.

Ding Darttou looked kind and said: "What are you afraid of, pick it up, kill this person, spare you no guilt." If you disobey, you are guilty of the same sin. ”

Where has the thin man ever seen such a scene, picking up the big knife and becoming six gods and at a loss. Wang Yuan saw the signs, pushed the thin man and reminded: "It's not enough to kill people, either you die or I live, what are you afraid of." ”

Ding Darttou also said: "This little brother is reasonable, in our business, you can't do it without a little blood on your hands, even if it's your vote!" His words seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, the murderous intent had forced everyone to feel a little cold.

The thin man mustered up his courage and rushed to the man who was hanging upside down, hesitated again and again, and finally closed his eyes and slashed with all his strength, and the head fell to the ground and rolled aside. The thin man was also afraid, trembling and trembling like a sifting of chaff.

Ding Dart's right hand shook slightly, and all the thin lines returned to his palm, and the corpse lay on the ground. He waved his hand, and someone came to carry away the body, someone cleaned the ground, and it was obvious that he hadn't done it once or twice. Behind Gu Shengchao, everyone was shocked.

Xin Dart Head went over and patted the thin man on the shoulder, "It's like this for the first time, just get used to it." There are many more dangerous things than this dart along the way, just let it be. He looked at Gu Shengchao and asked with a playful smile: "It's a bit hard to be an executioner, but we also look at our personal ability, as long as we complete this task well, we will have the opportunity to be promoted to a dart master." If any of you have any opinions, you can stand up and say it! ”

Most people lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at the sharp eyes cast by Xin Dart's head, only Gu Shengchao and Wang Yuan were fearless, facing the blade-like gaze and not moving. Xin Darttou nodded with satisfaction, pointed at Gu Shengchao and Wang Yuan, and said, "Yes, you two come here." ”

The rest of the people thought that these two people were in trouble again, and they were all worried about them. Unexpectedly, after the two passed, Xin Dart patted the two on the shoulder, explained to the two of them what they would do early tomorrow morning, and asked them to lead the rest of the executioners to complete it together, as if they were the little leaders of the executioner team.

After dinner, everyone rested early in the barracks.

Just after the ugly hour of the next day, everyone was woken up and began to get busy. Gu Shengchao and they mainly carried things, carrying them from the warehouse to the carriages of the three carriages, and someone was responsible for stacking them inside. The goods were light or heavy, and they were all packed in wooden boxes, and it was not known what they were. In the end, the blades were distributed, Gu Shengchao received a simple knife, Wang Yuan had great strength, and he didn't find a good guy, and finally carried a thick iron rod. The iron rod was rusty, and I think no one had ever used it as a blade.

Everything was put in order, and three masked men, all covered with robes and veils covering their faces, sat in the carriage of the fourth carriage, accompanied by two on horseback. The three of them looked like women in their figures and walking in a bewitching manner, and Gu Shengchao also smelled the faint aroma of fat powder, which was undoubted.

The head of the dart Zhong Lei gave an order, and the team started and set off on time at three o'clock.

Gu Shengchao was walking a dart for the first time, and he was confused at first, so he just followed the instructions. After a few days, I gradually got acquainted with it. There were thirty people in the procession, four in the carriage, ten on horseback, fifteen on foot, and one in the carriage. Among the fifteen people on foot, except for the nine newcomers of Gu Shengchao, the remaining six people were responsible for cooking and some miscellaneous work, and when they were short of manpower, they had to ask Gu Shengchao and them to help. Among the ten people riding a horse, the head of the dart is currently open, after the head of the Xin dart is broken, the head of the dart Zhong Lei is in the center, the two women are not far from the carriage, and the remaining five people should be the dart master.

The first two of the four carriages were full of goods, the third was the masked woman, and the last person drove with all the daily necessities used on the road, pots and pans, tents for sleeping at night, and other trivial things.

What puzzled Gu Shengchao the most was also this coachman, he was about fifty years old, the deep Sichuan character lines on his forehead were full of vicissitudes, he usually didn't speak much, his breath was extremely stable, mixed with various voices in the team, and sometimes he couldn't feel the existence of his breath at all. Zhong Lei, the head of the dart, called him Xu Bo, most people ignored him, he also looked detached, and Gu Shengchao looked at him differently.

On the other hand, the woman sitting in the carriage breathed quickly and slowly, and when it was slow, it made people feel that she was a top master, but in an instant, her breath became rapid again, like a tuberculosis patient suddenly attacking, when Gu Shengchao was worried about her, her breath became calm again, making people confused.

The team traveled for more than 40 days in a row, and there were few towns along the way, and Gu Shengchao didn't know the way, and he didn't know if it was intentional. The next few days were rainy and muddy, and they stopped and went. The wheels of the carriage were often trapped in the soft soil, and it was only by the ancient saints who pushed them behind and pulled the wheels on the side that they could barely move forward, leaving everyone covered in mud and water, exhausted. In rainy weather, clothes can't be dried, and in wet weather, they are also wet, and they are all miserable.

The rain lasted for more than ten days, and finally it cleared, and everyone became happy.

They happened to come to a town, and the chief dart Zhong Lei ordered it to be repaired for two days. Listening to Zhong Lei, there is a valley ahead, and if it rains continuously for the past few days, there must be floods in the valley. For these two days, it was repaired to avoid flooding and to wait for the road to dry to facilitate passage without delaying time. At this moment, if you break through the canyon, you are prone to accidents, and you can't reach it quickly.

Zhong Lei sent Ding Dart to explore the road first, and came back in the evening, saying that the flood had passed, and the sun should dry tomorrow and the day after tomorrow should be convenient for passage.

The carriages loaded with goods were all parked together, and they needed to be guarded at night, and Gu Shengchao and Wang Yuan and the other four people were on duty in the middle of the night. There are people on duty every night along the way, so everyone is used to taking turns to arrange this arrangement. It's good to say in the first half of the night, but it's easy to get confused in the second half of the night, and the staff on duty in the second half of the night will also make their own arrangements to ensure that everyone has a certain amount of rest.

Gu Shengchao and Wang Yuan each led one person, divided into two groups, each team was on duty for half an hour, and rotated in turn, and the two people who were not on duty could be confused in place for a while, ensuring that they would not be sleepy the next day.

Wang Yuan carried an hourglass with him, and it was exactly half an hour for the sand to leak to the bottom. Gu Shengchao sat with the wheel of the car for a while, and his companion had already leaned on the wheel of the car and fell asleep, and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth. Gu Shengchao saw that the hourglass was about to end, so he woke him up: "Wake up, you watch first, I'll go to the toilet." ”

The companion rubbed his misty eyes, saw that there was only a little left of the hourglass, and realized that he had slept for too long, and he was embarrassed to get up. Get up and move your spirits, and whisper, "You go, I'll wake them up in a while." ”

Gu Shengchao finished going to the toilet for convenience, and just walked to the door, only to hear the sound of rustling overhead, and disappeared outside the wall. He was stunned, it was obvious that someone ran over from above, and if he lost the dart, he didn't have time to go back to check, so he followed the sound and chased after him.

The night was gloomy, and a dark figure was running wildly in front of him, with a long package under his arm.

"Stop!" Gu Shengchao shouted loudly, and his feet quickened the pace of catching up.

The man in front of him didn't look back when he heard the voice, but just ran forward desperately. The package under his armpit was estimated that it was not light, and he slowed down after galloping for a while.

Gu Shengchao chased after him, jumped up and stopped in front: "Stop, put down your things and spare your life." He keenly felt that the package under the man's arm was a person, and the breath of someone was transmitted.

The man hesitated for a moment, and took a few steps closer towards Gu Shengchao, he wore a mask on his face, and he couldn't see his true face, he gently put down the package he was holding, and raised his palm to slash at Gu Shengchao without speaking. Gu Shengchao didn't dare to slack off, and unfolded the "Nine Heavens Blue Palm" that Lu Chuan taught him to deal with. He had little actual combat experience, and he was a little flustered at first, but after twenty or thirty rounds, he gradually gained the upper hand and suppressed the opponent. Gu Shengchao's perception was outstanding, and he suddenly noticed that there was a person's breath nearby, very faint, as if there was nothing. Fearing that he would be an accomplice of the other party, he saw the opportunity to slash the man's left shoulder with his palm.

The other party rolled around on the ground, his palms slightly open. Gu Shengchao saw it clearly, and hurriedly dodged it, he didn't see anything, only the faint sound of the wind in his ears.

"Is it Ding Darthead?" The only answer that Gu Shengchao could think of was Ding Darthead, his thin line that came and went without a trace was really unguardable. He guessed that if it was really Ding Dart's head, the next thin thread would be rolled up to his body. Gu Shengchao didn't dare to hesitate, and jumped into the air to dodge to the side. Sure enough, there was a "pop" sound from the place where he was standing just now, and the silent night sky was extremely crisp, obviously similar to the sound of a whip thrown out and hitting in mid-air.

The other party was also incredible, he didn't expect Gu Shengchao to dodge his fatal blow.

The two confronted each other.

Gu Shengchao sensed the breath of the fourth person, but did not find it. However, the breath of the package under the ground just now also disappeared. He turned to see that the ground was empty, as if it were the way it was.

The man was even more surprised, and a huge package disappeared out of thin air. He looked up, as if he had seen something fearful, and turned and ran away.
