079, cultivation in practice (II)
Why did Huwa do this, would there still be someone following him or blocking him in front of him? In fact, he left Baixi Village alone as soon as dawn to see if anything would happen on the way to the city?
If nothing happened on the road, he would have gone, and if the gangsters and their accomplices were still in ambush on the road, he would find out.
After walking in the snow for a long time, the tiger baby did not meet anyone. At this time of year, on this road, you shouldn't have met anyone else. This is the road to Shuangliu Village, there are forty miles of twists and turns, Baixi Village is located in a remote area, usually except for the people of Baixi Village who have something to go to Shuangliu Village, few outsiders pass by.
Nowadays, the residents of the nearby villages have long since stopped for winter, and they will not come out of their homes in the snow, and even the vendors will not travel far. If you really meet someone before you arrive in Shuangliuzhai, then I'm afraid there will be a problem.
The tiger baby did not rush at full speed, but step by step is not slow, set off after dawn, it is estimated that it will be able to reach Shuangliu Village before noon, walked more than ten miles, and there is no abnormal finding. Of course, Huwa doesn't want to encounter things, and if it is best to have a safe journey, he will be relieved.
The road ahead made a big bend around the foot of a hill and ran parallel to the south bank of White Creek. The walking tiger baby frowned slightly and closed his eyes, he suddenly felt that someone was secretly spying on it, and the location was on the mountain on the right. But when he unfolded his mind to investigate, he found nothing.
If someone or something is really staring at the tiger baby, it may be hidden and far away, and he can't detect it.
The tiger baby's feeling is not wrong, at the top of this mountain, under a giant tree with a snowy crown, there is a person standing quietly, like a dwarf tree in the mountain. The man looked to be in his forties, but had fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead. The temples have turned white.
His lips were thin, and the lines were tightly knit like a knife, and his eyes were thin and long, and his gaze was sharp, staring at the tiger baby passing by at the foot of the mountain, and his brow was tightly knit with a look of fear, doubt, and resentment. When he was sure that Huwa was the only one on this road, he couldn't help but be surprised.
After the tiger baby walked by, the person also quietly retreated, and his figure disappeared at the other end of the mountain. He wears leather boots that cover his ankles and leggings around his legs. The movement was light and fast, obviously familiar with the terrain in this area, and did not take the ready-made road, but went straight to Shuangliu Village through the mountains and wilderness.
Although Huwa had an indescribable feeling, he seemed to be being spied on when he passed by the foot of this mountain, but he didn't find this person, so he still walked along the road, and slowed down when he was about to reach Shuangliu Village, waiting for Pan Gu to catch up and converge.
After a while. Pan Gu ran over, and Huwa asked, "You followed behind, did you find anyone?"
Pan shook his head, indicating that he had not found anything. Actually, when it walks by. The person who was snooping in the distance was long gone.
In front of Shuangliu Village is Shuangliu Village, and the tiger baby once came to Tian Xiao, and it was in the post station of Shuangliu Village that he met Lingbao. It is the traffic throat that crosses two rivers, and it is also the largest village in Feihong City except for the main city. If you pass Shuangliu Village. Nothing should happen on the way.
There are still thirty miles to Feihong City after Shuangliu Village, but the road is relatively wide and flat, and there are many villages along the way. Despite the fact that in such weather, there are still many people passing by. If someone wants to do something in private, they should do it before they reach Shuangliuzhai.
The tiger baby took Pan Gu all the way to Shuangliu Village, always keeping her vigilant, but nothing happened. But when he saw the gate of Shuangliu Village from a distance, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
He has been here here, although there are sergeants on duty at several entrances and exits of Shuangliu Village, but the inventory is not strict, there are few pedestrians in this kind of snow day, and the sergeant should be even more lazy to check. But at this time, on both sides of the walled gate, there was a team of soldiers with distinct armor.
These people were all wearing thick clothes, wrapped in leggings, leather armor was worn on the outside of their jackets and was not hidden, holding a shield in their left hand and a long knife hanging from their waists. Unlike the gangsters, they did not have a short knife at their waists, and they still had a spear in their right hand.
This spear is a regular ordnance, the material of the wooden pole is very strict, it has to go through several processes such as drying, oiling, drying, and then oiling and drying, and the weight and shape of the spear head have standard requirements, which cannot be compared with those temporary spears in Baixi Village.
The army was commanded by a leader, and fourteen warriors stood in two neat columns on either side of the gate. Huwa now understands that each military formation in Feihong City has a captain and two deputy captains, and has seven squads, each team of seven people, and when they are officially fighting, they will line up in different formations to attack alternately according to their needs, and they usually practice like this.
On this snowy day when there are few pedestrians, why are there two squads guarding the gate of the village? In such weather, people cannot stand still for a long time, and the military formation must be rotated on duty, and judging by this formation, there should be at least a whole military formation here. Shuangliu Village has more than one gate, why do they stay in this place?
Could it be that something happened to Feihong City or Shuangliu Village, so one of the six formations of Feihong was sent to Shuangliu Village, thirty miles away? Huwa thought so in her heart, but her face did not change, and she still walked towards the gate of the village.
The group of soldiers had been bored, and it was quite cold after standing in the snow for a long time, and they stomped their feet from time to time. They complained in their hearts, they received an order to run here and stand in the cold weather, and they didn't even see a ghost for a long time, which is obviously tossing people!
At this moment, someone saw the tiger baby and Pan Gu, and immediately whispered: "Everyone, pay attention, there are people over there, and a descendant has a dog." Looking at the appearance of that posterior, it seems that he is the murderer ordered by the adults to be arrested!"
Someone else said: "After waiting for a long time, it's really here...... It's not dangerous to look at him, why is Master Soldier so careful, and let us send two teams to guard?"
And the leader commanded in a low voice: "Don't underestimate the enemy, it is said that this man has a lot of skill! Don't look at him empty-handed, but there is something hidden under the felt robe, which is probably the murder weapon." Later, you have to be sharp, and you can't give him a chance to fight back. ”
Another soldier laughed and said, "It's time for us to make meritorious service today." The commander of the soldier instructed that if he tried his best to capture him alive and tie him up and hand him over, he would have made a great contribution to the city; if such a person acted violently and stubbornly, and if he could not catch him alive, he would be killed on the spot, which would also be a meritorious service. He was just alone, and he didn't have any long weapons, so he could easily take it down. ”
These people thought that they were talking very quietly, and the distance was very far, and it was impossible for the tiger baby to hear it, but the tiger baby heard it clearly, and even the ears of the pan gourd were pricked up to hear it. Huwa finally understood what was going on, these people were just waiting for him, and they were ordered by the military master to take him down.
It seems that the soldier already knew what was going on in Baixi Village, so he thought that Huwa was going to the city to report the news, and it was a seemingly smart way to stop the people on the road they had to pass and make up an excuse to take them. But even if he did this, he couldn't hide the facts that had happened, and it was impossible to block the truth forever, so he could only keep the news from reaching the city for the time being.
It seems that the master soldier is really the accomplice behind the scenes, and what happened in Baixi Village also caught him off guard, obviously feeling flustered, or wanting to delay as much time as possible to arrange other things, he actually mobilized another army formation in the city outline.
Huwa pondered so much in her heart, but still walked over, about ten zhang away from the gate of the village, she heard the leader shout: "This descendant, we are chasing the fugitive on the order of the soldier, and all pedestrians who come and go today must be interrogated." ”
Huwa smiled and shouted: "If you want to check, you can check, I'm not a fugitive." ”
The sergeant was secretly relieved to see that he had not turned to run away or be on guard, but they still clenched their spears and remained vigilant, ready to move at any moment. I saw that the tiger baby had walked five zhang away, but suddenly turned to the right without warning, and actually crossed the Baixi on the bridge.
The location of Shuangliu Village is between Qingxi and Baixi, and there are strong stone bridges built on the water of both streams, and if Huwa wants to reach Feihong City, she must first cross the village and cross Qingxi from the bridge on the other side. The bridge that crosses Baixi is outside the entrance of the village on this side, and the road goes in the other direction.
The order received by the military array was to guard this walled gate, because no matter which way they came, they had to pass through the walled gate they were guarding before they could continue to Feihong City.
Seeing that the posture of the tiger baby was clearly about to enter Shuangliu Village, and she did not show the slightest nervousness or the intention of escaping, why did she suddenly turn around and cross the bridge and go to another road? The leader led the sergeants with flat-ended spears to chase after him quickly, shouting: "You stand still and accept the interrogation!"
Without looking back, the tiger baby replied: "I have not passed through the gate of the village guarded by you, so why should I be interrogated? ”
Then the leader shouted, "Go and report to the captain, the man who is about to be captured by the master has come, and he has fled to the other side of the bridge...... Let's chase after us!"
Pan Gu followed the tiger baby, jumped across the bridge, turned his head to look at the sergeants, and screamed a few times, as if to say, "Do you still want to catch up with me in the snow in leather armor and with shields and spears?"
Huwa didn't look back, didn't say anything more, just took a step and walked to another road. He seemed to walk unhurriedly, and every footprint was clear, but the sergeants with spears and shields could not catch up, no matter how much they ran wildly. Soon a large number of sergeants rushed out of the village, all armed with weapons, and two other leaders.
This is a very interesting scene, the tiger baby is followed by fifty-two people, which is exactly a whole army formation. The sergeants were chasing wildly with their weapons, but they couldn't catch up with the speed of the tiger baby, and they were gradually pulled away by more than ten feet. Then the speed of the tiger baby seems to have reached the limit, so it is kept ten zhang away, so that the other party can always see it, but it just can't catch up. (To be continued......)
