Chapter 44: Dangerous Encounters with Robbers on the Mountain Road
All the way to the west.
The trail here is much wider and can be walked by horse-drawn carriage. The mountains on both sides are undulating, with pines and cypresses, and bushes.
The words of the three would startle a flock of strange birds, and the small animals in the grass would sometimes leap away.
Ula Peach was a little tired from walking, and when she saw that a stone was relatively flat, she sat on it and gasped there with her ash pole.
"Take a break, I can't walk. ”
Then he took off the water bladder and poured a breath of spring water, still panting heavily.
Alayanzong and the fishing village shopkeeper also stopped and sat on the ground to drink water.
"I don't know how far it is from the mountain city of Vikchi, and we have to walk for a few days. There is not much dry food, so I have to find some food tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. ”
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat on his face and suddenly said, "It shouldn't be far away." The wagon sent by the black dog to deliver the fish was supposed to be to the mountain town of Vikchi. You'll have to get there this morning or evening, or the fish will rot. ”
Ulla's eyes lit up, "That's right! we hurry up, we should be able to reach Vikchi Mountain City today!"
Alayanzong turned his head to look at Ula Peach and said, "You are already very tired from looking at you, and if you hurry up, you will not be able to bear it." ”
Ula Peach was suddenly deflated, "Alas, although this mountain road is flat, it is tiring after walking for a long time!"
Alayanzong continued: "Also, we don't know what the current situation of the mountain city is, if we arrive and we can't find food in a short time, we will starve. ”
The shopkeeper nodded frequently and said, "What the young man said is right, I don't know what will happen ahead, we are very passive if we don't prepare enough food." Take a little further and find a place where you can spend the night in the leeward and find food tomorrow.
After a short rest, Ula no Peach felt his strength regain and got up and proposed to move on.
The three of them walked less than a cup of tea, and saw two people hurrying across the street.
Alayanzong was immediately alerted, the people in the mountain road were all heading west, why did these two people run east?
When he got closer, Alayanzong took a look and recognized it, weren't they the two middle-aged men sent by the black-haired dog to drive the car?
Alayanzong hurriedly greeted and asked, "Two uncles, why are you panicking?"
The two of them pointed to the back as they ran, panting and out of breath and replying, "Yes... There are bandits, robbed... robbed us... Let's go back... Debrief!"
The two of them did not stop, and still ran eastward.
Alayanzong said: "It's so close to the mountain city, there are still bandits, I don't know what happened to the wave of people who passed before? ”
So, the three of them quickened their pace and moved forward at great speed.
Soon a whimper was heard, and at the foot of the hill a woman was crying with a child in her arms.
Walking to the front, Alayanzong saw the mother and daughter who were rescued in the mountainside inn, so he stepped forward and asked, "Why is my sister-in-law crying?"
When the young mother saw that Alayanzong had come to inquire, she stopped crying and replied:
"I met the robbers and robbed the package, but I had no money, only a few clothes. Child...... The child was frightened, cried all the time, was kicked by the bandits, and lost his breath...... Woo......"
Alayanzong hurriedly squatted down, checked the little girl, touched her mouth and nose, she was indeed not breathing, and her pulse had already stopped beating, and her body had begun to get cold.
Alayanzong endured his anger and sadness, and said to the young mother in a suppressed voice: "Sister-in-law, bury the child. ”
When she heard this, the young mother began to cry again.
Ula Peach and Dian Xiaoer also hung their heads and wiped their tears in the back.
The three of them found a pit on the side of the road, cleared the rubble inside, and regarded it as a child's grave.
The young mother cried while gently placing the child in the pit.
They picked up the rubble and built a stone grave for the little girl.
The young mother wept bitterly at the grave again.
Alayan Sect was even more angry when he got his grief from this! He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go! I want to see what kind of bandit it is, so brutal that even the child will not be spared!"
After walking another mile of mountain road, there was a corner in front of me, and four *** were there, looking at the car all the time.
This is the other few people who were on the boat together, and they had no baggage on their bodies, all of them looked panicked, and when they saw Alayanzong and others coming, someone accosted them.
"Shaoxia, we have met robbers!
Alayanzong took two quick steps and hurriedly asked, "Where are the robbers?"
A young man in his twenties pointed around the corner and said, "Right ahead, our people are still fighting the robbers." ”
Turning around the foot of the mountain, there were indeed several people fighting not far away, and the weapons clanged one after another. Looking closely, the Alayan sect recognized that it was Yeluhum, Jeluha, and the bandits fighting.
Then he looked back and said to Ula Peach and the shopkeeper and the young mother who came behind: "The three of you are with these people for the time being, and I will go and see." ”
With that, he flew and fastened, and soon came to the front.
The three of them were besieged by four people, and there was one person standing outside the circle, watching the battle with a long knife in his hand.
The robbers were masked.
All three of them are fighting hard, but they can see that their physical strength is gradually exhausted. Yeluhum and Jeruha were still swinging their scimitars, but their moves slowed down.
Punching the bones and wielding a wooden stick, every blow is vigorous, but it looks extremely clumsy. He doesn't know martial arts, he relies on brute strength, and after a long time, his physical strength is exhausted and he loses his power.
The robbers, tall and short, fat and thin, jumped and jumped very dexterously, as if they were not in a hurry to subdue the three of them, but as if they were playing tricks on them.
Alayanzong shouted: "The bold bandit hasn't stopped yet!"
When they saw someone coming, all the thieves were shocked, and they all looked to this side, and the weapons in their hands did not stop.
Yelu didn't speak, still staring at the bandits and trying their best to meet them.
Yeluha shouted in a hoarse voice, "Young man, come and save us!"
Beat the bones and urge the withering to wave a stick to force the bandits back, and shouted in a muffled voice: "Big nephew, I'm dying!"
When the besieging robbers saw that the other party had come to help, they stepped up their attack, and the three people who were surrounded in the middle were in danger!
The bandit standing on the side didn't move, still watching the changes.
Alayanzong leaped to his feet and landed in the air with his feet on the chest of the attacking bone-beating bandits.
The body of this bandit, who was a head taller than beating the bones and drying, took off into the air, fell out, and landed two feet away. An iron rod was also thrown more than three feet away, and he couldn't get up for a while, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Alayanzong did not stop, with the power of kicking the bandit's chest, the harrier turned over, his body took off again, kicked twice in a row, kicked the two scimitars that were slashing at Yelu Hu, and fell into the valley one after another.
As soon as Alayanzong landed, his right leg spun, and a sweeping leg knocked both of them to the ground.
At this time, Jeruha was fighting a robber who was even thinner than him, and the opponent's long sword was about to pierce him in the heart.
Suddenly, a flying stone flew from the ground, hitting the robber's face, and immediately made a fuss all over his face, and he couldn't see his face through the face towel, but the white face towel was full of blood.
The long sword lost its strength, and was swept away by Jerah's scimitar, and slashed at the robber's neck with a backhand, and the thin robber fell in response.
It all happened in the midst of lightning.
