Walk separately to divert the pursuers
Zhao Sichen had just cut down the man beside him, and he didn't notice it for a while, and the crossbow arrow had already come straight to his face.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Yun Bi pounced on the side, blocked in front of Zhao Sichen, and raised his hand to shoot the crossbow arrow.
The arrow grazed Yun Bi's arm, and with a "tear" sound, the sleeves of his shirt were torn.
On the side of Zhao Sichen's face, Yun Bi's arm was in front of her eyes, and she just saw that there were blood beads oozing out of Yun Bi's arm.
Zhao Sichen's face changed greatly, and anger ignited in his heart.
She jerked her head and looked fiercely at the short man.
The short man saw that the situation was not good, and Zhao Sichen was really angry.
He knew that he was not Zhao Sichen's opponent, so he turned around and wanted to flee-
Zhao Sichen rushed forward with a murderous knife, caught up with the other party in a few steps, and slashed the short man over.
After Zhao Sichen finished killing, he didn't stop for a moment, turned around, and rushed forward to Yun Bi's side.
"Sister Yunbi, are you okay?!"
Zhao Sichen frowned nervously, pulled Yun Bi's arm, and carefully examined the wound.
Fortunately, the wound was not deep, but the arm was abrased by the tip of the sword.
Zhao Sichen gritted his teeth and slashed his sword down, and the sword qi made a lot of marks on the ground.
She said viciously: "That bastard, I actually hurt you—I knew that I wouldn't let him die so quickly, and I could only vent my anger by slashing him ten more times!" ”
Wei Qianlang silently shrank to the side.
It's terrible for a woman to lose her temper.
Miss Zhao is no different from the bandits in the mountains.
Zhao Sichen was so anxious that the sweat on his forehead came out, took Yun Bi's hand, sprinkled the best gold sore medicine carefully, and took out a clean fine white cotton cloth from his arms, and carefully helped Yun Bi bandage the wound.
Yun Bi looked at Zhao Sichen, who was bowing his head to treat his wounds, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know how many pursuers there are in the back-Miss, let's go separately." You and Wei Qianlang will go to meet up with Brother Xi first, and I will lead away the pursuers. ”
When Zhao Sichen heard Yun Bi say this, he didn't raise his head, and refused: "No, let's go together." ”
Yun Bi persuaded: "It's not like we haven't walked apart before. As you know, it's better to scatter than to be wiped out. ”
Zhao Sichen bandaged Yun Bi's wounds, raised his head, and said, "If the whole army is annihilated, we will definitely win!"
Sister Yunbi, you know, I've never lost a fight!
If a god comes, kill the god, and if the Buddha comes, kill the Buddha! ”
Yun Bi was amused by Zhao Sichen's words, but she still insisted on her own thoughts, and persuaded her in a different way: "You take Wei Qianlang with you, the goal is bigger, maybe you will help me lead away the pursuers." ”
Zhao Sichen flattened his mouth, his eyes were slightly red, and he was a little aggrieved: "I don't care, I want to be with you anyway, I don't want to be separated from you." ”
Yun Bi joked and said, "I'll go ahead and explore the way." Don't worry, I can walk fast alone, and without your drag, I may not be able to get to Linshui County faster than you. ”
Zhao Sichen saw Yun Bi's resolute expression, and knew that he couldn't persuade her.
She gritted her teeth, grabbed Yun Bi's hand hard, and said firmly: "Sister Yun Bi, I'm waiting for you by the river, if I can't wait for you by the early hours of tomorrow morning-"
Yun Bi said softly, "You guys should go first......"
Zhao Sichen said: "No, if I can't wait for you in the early hours of tomorrow morning-you must hold on and wait for me to come back to pick you up." ”
After Zhao Sichen finished a few words, there were already a little tears in his eyes.
Seeing that Zhao Sichen and Yun Bi were about to separate, Wei Qianlang was in a heavy mood, and turned his head silently, not daring to look at Zhao Sichen again.
Seeing Zhao Sichen's sad expression, Yun Bi smiled instead and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you." If I get to the river first, I'll wait for you! ”
Zhao Sichen nodded vigorously with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Sichen and Yun Bi let go of their hands, Zhao Sichen pulled over a horse, helped the silent Wei Qianlang to get on the horse, and then turned over on the horse himself, and the two of them rode a horse together.
Zhao Sichen looked at Yun Bi reluctantly, and finally ruthlessly, with a "driving" sound, he rode forward and galloped forward.
Yun Bi stood in place, watching Zhao Sichen and Wei Qianlang leave.
After a long while, Yun Bi turned around.
Yun Bi glanced at it and saw that there were traces of a fight all around, and the corpses were staggered and in a mess.
Yun Bi rolled up her sleeves, dragged the corpses on the side of the road to the bushes and hid them, and cut off an arm from one of the corpses.
She held her arm and deliberately let the blood drip on the road, and carried it all the way in the other direction, leaving mottled blood stains on the road.
After walking for a while, his arm was no longer dripping blood.
Yun Bicai threw the corpse aside, took out the water and cleaned her hands, and continued to walk in the other direction.
……
……
After separating from Yunbi, Zhao Sichen and Wei Qianlang had a smooth journey.
Although the horses were bumpy, they were much faster than ox carts.
The two of them didn't eat, and they just drank a few sips of water right away.
In just two hours, the two men successfully reached the river.
Here, the river meanders and ripples gently in the breeze.
The sun is gradually slanting on the horizon, shining thin clouds with gold and red.
There was silence all around, and there was no trace of human activity.
Zhao Sichen let out a "shout", reined in the horse, and jumped off the horse.
She turned around and wanted to help Wei Qianlang get off the horse, Wei Qianlang waved his hand, refused Zhao Sichen's help, gritted his teeth, endured the pain, moved half of his body, and half-jumped and half-fell off the horse.
Zhao Sichen understood in his heart the last stubbornness of the second middle school boy, and saw that he acted quite freely, so he didn't pay much attention to him.
She tapped the reins on the horse's buttocks, and the horse trotted away in the other direction.
Then, Zhao Sichen casually folded off a leaf on the side, put it to his lips, and let out a few sharp whistles.
A short time later, a small boat came out of the reeds ahead.
At first, the speed of the boat was not large, and it moved forward with temptation.
After the people on the boat saw Zhao Sichen clearly, the boat accelerated forward, faster and faster, and soon, like an arrow off the string, it cut through the river.
Not long after, the boat had already come to Zhao Sichen and Wei Qianlang, and stopped suddenly-
If others see it, they will definitely praise the boatman's clever methods.
It was Xi Ge'er who drove the boat, and he casually threw the boat artemisia in the stern, pushed the iron anchor into the water, picked up the thick hemp rope under his feet, threw it twice, and threw it to the shore.
A series of movements are like a smooth flow.
Zhao Sichen caught the hemp rope thrown by Xi Ge'er, and the two of them worked hard left and right, pulling the boat to the river.
Xi Ge'er didn't wait for the boat to stop, he had already jumped off the boat, anxious and happy, and shouted: "Miss, why are you here now!" I've been waiting for you by the river for a day!
I didn't dare to leave, I didn't dare to drive out, I could only hide in the reeds and wait......"
Zhao Sichen nodded, indicating that he understood, said "hard", and explained: "I encountered a few hard stubbles on the road, and I was delayed for a little time. ”
Xi Ge'er hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"Where's Miss Yunbi?"
"Where's Sister Yunbi?"
Xi Ge'er and Zhao Sichen both looked behind each other and didn't see the person they wanted to see.
Zhao Sichen was anxious and asked, "Sister Yunbi hasn't arrived yet?" You didn't pick her up? ”
Xi Ge'er was even more anxious: "No! ”
He was shocked that something was wrong, and he even forgot his honorific title, and his tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction: "Miss Yunbi got off the boat with you, why are you the only one who came back?" ”
Zhao Sichen was anxious, and when he saw Brother Xi'er's flustered appearance, he had to comfort him and said, "It's okay, Sister Yunbi may have something delayed, let's wait for her." ”
Xi Ge'er still wanted to say something, and knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he sighed with a bitter face, and said dejectedly: "Get on the boat, I'll cook." ”
"Don't be busy." Zhao Sichen stopped Xi Ge'er: "I don't have the heart to eat now." Let's just eat some dry food and replenish our strength. ”
Xi Ge'er was anxious, and she didn't have the heart to do anything else.
Seeing Wei Qianlang standing staggeringly, Xi Ge'er stepped forward, supported Wei Qianlang, and followed Zhao Sichen to the boat.
Entering the cabin, Xi Ge'er took two flatbreads, poured two bowls of coarse tea, and placed them on top of the simple wooden planks in the cabin.
Although it was a little perfunctory, Zhao Sichen and Wei Qianlang were extremely hungry, and they didn't care about the poor conditions, so they ate a big gulp.
Zhao Sichen sat cross-legged next to Xiao Jizi, poured most of the bowl of coarse tea first, took two bites of cake, slightly padded his stomach, and asked, "After we left, did you meet the pursuers?" Have you been embarrassed by the other party? ”
Xi Ge'er nodded and said, "After you got off the boat the night before, I didn't dare to rest, so I drove the boat overnight and sailed onto the main river.
I originally thought that I could get rid of the other party after running for one night, but I didn't expect to be caught up by them the next morning and stopped for interrogation. ”
Although Zhao Sichen knew that Xi Ge'er had successfully passed the test, he still couldn't help but be a little nervous: "You coped with it smoothly?" ”
Xi Ge'er said: "The person who came brought some effort, and he was also very polite, and didn't let me stop the boat - my boat was still open at that time, and he jumped directly and jumped over."
Someone came directly to our boat to interrogate me, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked me why I didn't rest at night, and I was on my way day and night. ”
Zhao Sichen took a sip of tea and asked, "How did you deal with the past?" ”
Xi Ge'er said: "I said that I received a message from the villagers, saying that my eighty-year-old lady is not in good health and waiting for me to go back to see me for the last time. That's why I'm on the road day and night, and I keep going. ”
Zhao Sichen gave a thumbs up to Brother Xi: "I knew that you could do it!" ”
Xi Ge'er was praised, but he shook his head and said, "I don't know if the other party believes it...... I looked at his expression, I should not believe it. Later, the other party asked about the whereabouts of you and Miss Yunbi.
I said I don't know, but I met you two girls halfway, so I did something good and took a ride, and by the way I earned some money.
You got off the boat later, and I don't know where you went.
When they asked you which direction you were going, I pointed in a random direction."
Zhao Sichen said strangely: "The other party just left?" ”
