Beacon Fire Connecting the Central Plains Chapter 111: The Twelve Hours (Part 4)
Central Plains Wuzhen Waiguan Road
Yun Musheng's heart tightened, he felt strange before, although this prison is not big, but it is not the strength of more than 300 people, so it seems that there are really a large number of people and horses, rushing around from the mountains on one side.
"It's past noon, it's already time, if it's not faster, Wuzhen will...
Ma Qingfeng led the two fast horses that Qiu Huan rode when he came, Yun Musheng hugged Qiu Zhuo's willow waist and jumped on one of them, and Ma Qingfeng put the young girl Aya Luo in front of his crotch, just like this, four people and two horses, galloping towards Wuzhen.
About half an hour later, the entrance to the town of Nawu was close to the four horses, and the gate looked calm, as if the gang of bandits had not yet arrived here.
Ma Qingfeng sniffed a trace of smell in the air, glanced at the surrounding bushes, and then gave Yun Musheng on the side a look, and then fixed the little ayaluo in front of him on the saddle with the reins.
Yun Musheng understood it in his heart, and whispered in Qiu Yuwei's ear: "Hold it steady for a while." ”
Then the two of them suddenly waved their whips and rushed forward at full speed. The sound of movement in the forest on the side was getting closer and closer, and Yun Musheng and Ma Qingfeng were both holding the hilt of their swords, waiting for the enemy to attack.
The two horsemen were still galloping forward on the official road, and they were about to reach the entrance of Nawu Town, but no one appeared in the woods on both sides, as if they were waiting on purpose.
Several people dismounted when they arrived at the gate of Wuzhen, and sure enough, the sound of commotion in the forest sounded again.
But the strange thing is that it is mixed with one after another screams, hysteria, endless. Yun Musheng felt strange, and just wanted to step forward slightly, but was dragged by Ma Qingfeng's shoulder.
"Don't go, there's weirdness."
He took out the jade chain he was carrying around his neck from his clothes and showed it in front of Yun Musheng's eyes, only to see that the jade carved in the shape of Maitreya had a slight crack.
Hearing the strange roar in the forest behind him, Yun Musheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, could it be that in addition to the bandits and bandits in the prison around this Wuzhen, there are also ghosts and ghosts?
The tall weeds suddenly opened, and a man with a one-eyed patch escaped from the bush with three or five younger brothers, all wounded, with an expression of seeing an evil ghost on his face.
Yun Musheng hurriedly caught up, and suddenly saw that several people behind One-Eyed were hooked by something, and they were dragged back one after another, and the only one-eyed person who was left seemed to be unable to escape the clutches of the devil.
Seeing this, Yun Musheng hurriedly grabbed the one-eyed collar, this move was not for the sake of compassion for the evil man, but if he didn't leave a living mouth, the secret of the evil in this bush would not be known.
He grabbed One-Eye's collar and struggled to pull it in his direction, but a few vines suddenly appeared in the bushes, some wrapped around One-Eye's body, and some whipped towards Yun Musheng.
Although Yun Musheng was reluctant to stretch out his hand, the rattan that came at him hurt him. Suddenly, the two-edged knife attacked, and the rattan that bound the one-eyed was cut off instantly, Ma Qingfeng put the knife into the sheath and stood behind the one-eyed to prevent another tree vine from attacking.
Who knew that a long ghost hand suddenly stretched out in the forest, brushed past Ma Qingfeng's ear, grabbed the one-eyed back, and the sharp nails slashed into the flesh, and gradually, the whole hand almost dug in.
Blood continued to flow from the one-eyed mouth, and no matter how hard Yun Musheng tried, he could no longer hold the person in front of him. The ghost hand dug some distance from One-Eye's back and stopped, as if it had caught something.
Ma Qingfeng froze in place, not daring to move, for fear that the ghost hand close to his face would suddenly turn around and choke his throat.
kept muttering to Yun Musheng: "Let go, quick, let go." ”
Yun Musheng was still unconvinced and refused to let go.
"Let go, it's useless, his spine is caught!"
Only then did Yun Musheng react, he looked down and found that One-Eye's stomach was slightly bulging, as if it was being propped up by that ghost hand.
Ma Qingfeng moved his steps with difficulty, leaving the ghost hand that was almost close to him, and when he moved, it was as hard as carrying a thousand catties of heavy objects.
Just the next second when he fell to the ground away from the ghost hand, the ghost hand recovered at lightning speed in an instant, pulling a broken skeleton out of the flesh with the splash of flesh and blood, leaving only a layer of skin and flesh on the surface, swaying in the wind, and falling to the ground.
The ghost hand that grabbed the one-eyed body retracted into the forest, and the weeds closed again, and the forest gradually returned to a dead silence.
The four of them froze in place, only to hear a little wail from the cool breeze.
Xiao Ayaluo's cry broke the peace of the four, Qiu Weiwei hugged the child, his eyes still couldn't focus, and even the back of his neck seemed to tremble slightly.
As the sun set, night approached, and the men who had previously helped set up an ambush at the eleventh bayonet also returned one after another, seeing the flesh and blood stains on the ground and in the forest, and the four people who were paralyzed on the ground in shock, everyone thought that they had succeeded in killing the attacking thieves.
A group of young and weak women and children who had been hiding in Wuzhen before they also came out to greet them, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
But only these three people, plus Xiao Ayaluo, who was still sobbing in Qiu Yu's arms, knew how these thieves did not stay and all died tragically.
Wuzhen, Central Plains
At night, the four of them sat in a side room of the inn, and the shopkeeper specially cooked a table of sumptuous dishes and two jars of wine in order to thank them for saving Wuzhen.
When the shopkeeper and Xiao Er went out, the four people in the room were still silent, Ma Qingfeng lifted one of the jars of wine, took a few big gulps, and strengthened his courage, before finally breaking the silence and saying: "Leave early tomorrow morning, Lao Tzu is so big, his mother has never seen such a scary thing." ”
"What do you think that's that?" Yun Musheng asked.
"The devil knows what the hell it was at that time, but it must not be a human being, and people don't have that kind of strength!"
Yun Musheng nodded, and then asked, "What Brother Ma said is extremely true, where are you going to go next." ”
Ma Qingfeng replied: "My trip with Ayaluo was originally to go to the Imperial Court, the Jinghong Hall and the Hou Mansion, and then choose one of them to go in, and use the skills that I have learned to rob the moon to mix with an official and a half-position, so that my family Ayaluo can settle down." ”
The knock on the door behind him sounded again, and with the second little man of the shop, he came in behind the shopkeeper Ding of the porcelain shop in the morning, only to see that his face was red, as if he had drunk some wine, and he was still holding the bottle of porcelain bottle with red glaze of begonia.
"Heroes, you saved our Wuzhen, my old Ding... Belch... Specially used this begonia red, filled with my mother-in-law's fruit wine, come to thank you, this fruit wine, but fragrant ~ burp. ”
Shopkeeper Ding said, the drunken body kept swaying, Yun Musheng hurriedly stepped forward with Xiao Er to support Shopkeeper Ding, and took the begonia red porcelain bottle, but found that the bottle was empty and there was nothing.
"Hiccup~ Oops, I'm sorry brothers, this bottle of wine was just drunk by my old Ding, Hiccup~ I'll go back and get it."
"Eh, shopkeeper Ding, you wait." The shopkeeper on the side pulled the drunken and shaking shopkeeper Ding. "It's not early, don't hang around outside, Master Wan said that you can't leave the town after the night, what can you do if something happens?"
Who knew that the shopkeeper of Nading spread Xiao Er's hand away, and said with some temper: "What can happen?" Those bandits were slaughtered by the heroes, and my old Ding is going to the official road tonight, and it will be fine! ”
After that, the shopkeeper of Nading went out with Xiao Er, and Ma Qingfeng saw that it was getting late, so he also took Xiao Yaluo back to his room.
Yun Musheng was just about to leave, but he was hooked by Qiu Weiwei at the corner of his clothes, and then threw a futon on the ground with his watery eyes, looked at Yun Musheng with watery eyes, and then looked at the futon on the ground, and hummed softly.
Yun Musheng understood it in his heart, so he consciously laid out the bedding and lay down on the ground.
