Chapter 34: The Pursuit

In the afternoon, Ye Sansi finally saw a village, and he was also hungry, so he ran towards it happily.

But he stopped again, and thought carefully about his pennilessness, and went into the village to beg for food, which must have made the already poor village even worse.

Ye Sansi wandered at the entrance of the village, thinking: In the future, there will be no Taiyi, Lingshuang, and Nian'er, what should I do, although I have been down the mountain for a long time, and I have some understanding of worldly things, but I will definitely starve if I have no money, and I didn't take the original package, my father's tablet was lost, and his old man will be angry if he knows about it, what should I do.

Sansi scratched his head and was interrupted by a sound: "What are you doing here?"

Ye Sansi looked back and saw that it was a young girl, dressed in cloth clothes with patches, her eyes were clear, and there was a slight amount of dust on her cheeks, but she looked extremely delicate and cute.

Seeing that Ye Sansi didn't answer for a long time, the girl asked again: "Hey, what are you doing here?"

Ye Sansi came back to his senses, and he was embarrassed to beg for food, so he had to scratch his head and say, "Girl, do you know where Lingzhou City should go?"

The girl smiled: "Haha, it seems that you are lost, Lingzhou City, I heard my mother say, go over there, enter Yanzhou City, then go out of the city, go over there, and keep walking until you can get there." ”

"Hey, girl, what you said is too fast, I can't see it too clearly, besides, if I don't enter the city, is there any way?"

The girl played with her braids and said with a smile: "I don't know this, I have grown so big, but I have never been out of the village, I have heard from others, why don't you go to my house first and ask my mother?"

"Well, don't bother?"

"What's this? With that, he pulled Ye Sansi's clothes and entered the village.

"Mother, here comes the guest. The girl shouted when she was far away from her house.

When I entered the house, I saw a woman weaving cloth, and she didn't look up to see her twice, but the woman heard the sound and said, "You, you, you like to run around after eating, be careful when you meet bad people, arrest you, and learn to lie?" ”

The girl ran to the woman's side, put her arm around her, rested her head on her shoulder, and said: "Mother, you like to be busy, when is this cloth not weaving, you can't rest for a while, Shan'er is distressed when she sees it." ”

"Shan'er, you, you, you will be flamboyant, just like your father. ”

"By the way, mother, I'm not lying, you look up. ”

The woman looked up, and finally saw Sansi, her eyes suddenly panicked, she stood up, and her helpless appearance made Ye Sansi a little sad, and he was also silent, he really didn't know what to say.

Shan'er walked to Sansi, the woman wanted to stop, but her hands and feet were numb, Shan'er pulled Ye Sansi's cuffs and said to the woman: "Mother, didn't you say that I have an aura since I was a child? ”

Ye Sansi also continued: "Yes, yes, I'm not a bad person, don't be afraid of this eldest sister." ”

The woman sat down, but she still didn't believe the words of Sansi, remained vigilant, and stared at Sansi with her eyes wide open.

Seeing this, Ye Sansi untied the heavenly anger behind his back, the woman was first wooden, and then full of fear, Ye Sansi slowly put down the heavenly anger.

Heavenly Fury hovered in the room like a joy, Shan'er also shouted with joy, Ye Sansi said softly: "Look, eldest sister, my sword is called 'Heavenly Fury', which specializes in killing evil ghosts and demons, and when it meets a good person, it is like a child, and it will not hurt people." ”

The woman heard Sansi say this, and thought about it carefully, if Sansi was really a bad person, she would have already been in a different place, so she relaxed her nerves, got up and smiled: "It turned out to be an immortal, it was rude, please forgive me." ”

Ye Sansi shook his hand and said: "I'm not an immortal, it's me who is reckless and broke into your home, and I'm the one who should be guilty." ”

Shan'er smiled, hugged the woman and said, "Mother, I said, I don't look good, besides, the big brother didn't break in, but I invited in." ”

The woman saluted and said, "By the way, immortal, if there is anything that needs the little woman's help, just mention it, if I can do it, I will do my best." ”

"Eldest sister, you are really polite, you are older than me, just ask me to think twice, I have nothing else to do, I just want to ask Lingzhou City how to go, if you don't go through the state. ”

The woman took out a stool, motioned for Ye Sansi to sit down, poured some tea, and said: "Sansi Shaoxia, if you don't enter the city, then you will have to take a detour, the journey is more complicated, I haven't been there, I don't know very well." ”

Ye Sansi was a little disappointed, and said, "Then I won't bother, I'll go look elsewhere." "I was getting ready to go.

The woman stopped her and said, "Think twice, don't leave in a hurry, the one in my family has gone to work in the field, he may know, Shan'er is going to call your father back." ”

"Yes, mother. Shan'er jumped and ran away.

After waiting for less than a stick of incense, Shan'er came back with a man, and before the man entered the door, he complained: "What are you doing, there is still a lot of work in the field." ”

When the man entered the door, Ye Sansi stood up and prepared to salute.

But the man knelt down with a thud, and Shan'er and the woman also knelt down when they saw this.

Ye Sansi hurriedly went to help and said, "Why kneel me? Get up quickly, how unbelievable this is." ”

The man stood up, held Ye Sansi's arm with both hands and said, "Engong, don't you recognize me?"

Ye Sansi looked puzzled, took a closer look and said, "I don't recognize it." ”

"I used to be a post guard in the post station on the border of Yanzhou, and you rescued me a day ago, do you remember?"

"It turns out that you are the post guard of the post station, hahaha, we are really fateful, now I have something to ask for, do you know how to go to Lingzhou City if you don't enter Jianzhou City?"

The man was just about to answer, but was interrupted by the grunting sound of Ye Sansi's stomach.

The man said, "Engong hasn't eaten yet, Shan'er, you and your mother will cook some food together." ”

"Okay, Daddy. ”

The man continued: "Engong, this Lingzhou City is far away from Jianzhou, I have never been there, I have been in the post station for a long time, and even the direction of Jianzhou City is very vague, and the way home is often seen in dreams, and other roads are really unclear. ”

Ye Sansi thought to himself: Even if he knows, he can't take me all the way to Lingzhou City, he also has a family to take care of, it's really inconvenient and troublesome, or I will go find those people in Sword God Village, maybe they can help me show the way.

Ye Sansi clasped his fists at the man and said, "This big brother, you should know the way to the post station, can you help me draw a map." ”

The man said softly: "Of course I know this, but do you want to go back to the post station? I heard that the post station has been surrounded by groups, and ordinary people can't get close to it." ”

The meal is ready, although there is no abundance anywhere, but Ye Sansi still gobbles it up, he knows that these are the things that the poor people themselves are reluctant to eat, and only when they eat well can they feel at ease.

Ye Sansi said while eating: "It's okay, I'm not close to the post station, but I have friends in the village next to the post station and want to meet them." ”

"Okay, I'll go to the village chief's house now, borrow some pen and ink, Engong, you eat first, and I'll come when I go." ”

Ye Sansi ate a little food, and said that he was full, the woman and Shan'er cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and the man came back and handed Ye Sansi a picture.

Ye Sansi took it in his hand and looked at it, and said, "Thank you, big brother, it's not too early, I'll set off." ”

The man said: "Engong, don't you stay overnight, it's going to be dark in less than two hours, and if the trip is at night, you won't be able to get to the post station." ”

"No, I'm alone, even if I'm in danger, I don't have any scruples, I'm not slow to move, I need to hurry to our friends, or they will be worried. ”

The man clenched his fists and said: "That Engong insists on leaving, we will not stay, if there is anything that needs to use the three of us, although it is said that if it is not Engong, our family will not be reunited, great kindness, no tooth unforgettable." ”

Ye Sansi said: "You're welcome. Then he departed, and hurried in the direction shown on the map.

After taking a few steps, Sansi felt uneasy, lowered his body, listened carefully, and noticed the sound of horses' hooves not far away, afraid that someone from the Sword God Sect would come to look for him, but he was cautious, so he had to hide.

After a while, Sansi clearly saw the three iron armors, riding horses, into the village, and thinking to himself: These iron armors should be looking for me, but they will inevitably be bad for the villagers, I will follow to take a look, waiting for the opportunity to get rid of them.

Tiejia entered the village, ordered the village chief to gather everyone, and asked, "Has anyone else been to your village?" ”

The village chief replied: "Master Hui, in this poor and remote place of our village, how can anyone rest with my face." ”

"yes, yes, I haven't seen anyone in years. The woman who had entertained Ye Sansi echoed the village chief's words.

An iron armor dismounted and shouted: "You should know that it is the crime of killing the head to be committed by concealing the crime, if anyone can report it, there will be a reward, and when I find it, it will not be a family that will suffer, and the whole village will give me an army." ”

The people of the village fell to their knees in unison, silent.

A middle-aged man crawled out on his knees, pointed to the woman's room and said: "Master Jun, I report, Shan'er and her father came back a day ago, I heard that something was done and became a post guard, and he should have sneaked back, look at Master Jun, is this what you said to be a crime." ”

"Maybe it's the man's accomplices, you two go and search for it. ”

"Yes. The other two ironclads dismounted and cautiously walked towards the house.

The village chief spat on the ground and said, "Bah, the Cheng family and his wife are kind-hearted, Lao Cheng is honest and righteous, and there is no place to offend you, why do you want to betray him." ”

When Tie Jia heard this, he pulled out his sword, put it on the neck of the village chief, and said, "You old fellow, you still want to hide from the official family, it's really bold. ”

The middle-aged man said: "Village chief, this is called a person who knows the times as a handsome man, do you really want one of us from the village to accompany him to the funeral? Besides, the military master gives him a reward, which is not more cost-effective than what I have to plant all my life? You are really pedantic." ”

Hearing this, Tie Jia smiled happily: "Okay, well said, you will go back with me in the future, enter the palace, eat fragrant and drink spicy, and you will enjoy it." ”

The man got up and bowed, "Master Xie, the little one will follow the master and the king in the future." ”

After a while, Tie Jia saw that the other two did not come out, shouted inside, realized that something was wrong, got on the horse and watched, only to see Ye Sansi slowly walk out of the door, grab the head of Tie Armor with one hand, and throw it on the ground, rolling, and rattling.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tiejia said tremblingly: "What? It's him~~" and was about to ride away on horseback, and the middle-aged man also got on a horse and followed behind Tiejia.

The woman had already cried into tears, and Lao Cheng walked out and said with a smile: "Shan'er, mother, hahaha, thanks to Engong, I picked up another life." Seeing that Lao Cheng was still alive, the woman quickly ran forward and hugged him.

Shan'er also ran over and saluted Ye Sansi and said, "Thank you, big brother, for saving my father's life again." ”

"You're welcome, let that iron armor escape, it's a pity, now this village will definitely not be able to stay, you should flee quickly." ”

The village chief walked forward and said, "Thank you Shaoxia for breaking the siege." Then he turned to Lao Cheng and said: "Lao Cheng, I really didn't expect such a treacherous villain in our village, no one in our village knows about your return, just that Feng Xing betrayed you, it's really hateful, it's also my fault, poor discipline, almost put you in danger." ”

Lao Cheng said: "Village chief, you don't have to blame yourself, it's none of your business, after all, I haven't returned to the village for many years, and I occupied the land as soon as I came back, think about my mistakes, alas, I don't want to, the matter has passed, without further ado, let's think about a way out, there are so many people in the village, where to go is also your word." ”

The village chief asked Ye Sansi, "Shaoxia, do you have any place to go?"

Ye Sansi scratched his head and said, "I don't know, I am not familiar with the people in this area, or you should go to Lingzhou? ”

"Okay, isn't the young man with us?"

"I won't be able to, the city of Yanzhou must have released the news to arrest me, with you, I'm afraid it will be involved, besides, this iron armor will go back to report the news, and will definitely come again, your journey is slow, I will delay it for a while, and help you escape." ”

Shan'er pulled the corner of Ye Sansi's clothes and said, "Big brother, this is too dangerous, come with us." ”

"Shan'er, that iron armor has a fast horse, and the journey to catch up is extremely fast, if they are allowed to catch up, won't all the efforts be in vain? ”

Everyone went home to clean up, and came out in a moment, Lao Cheng still wanted to say goodbye to Sansi, but was stopped by Sansi, Sansi hurriedly said: "Brother Cheng, it's not too early, let's go quickly." ”

After the three members of the Cheng family saluted, they left with a village.

Every villager only carries a shallow bag, they are poor, in their eyes, their most precious thing is nothing more than this fragile life, everyone hurried away, they could see their panic, they could see their desire to live.

The figure was far away, Ye Sansi jumped on the roof, sat down, and looked in the direction of Yanzhou City, and the Heavenly Fury was also circling around.

The sky is getting dark, and Ye Sansi knows that in order to buy enough time for the villagers to escape from Jianzhou, this will be a battle to the death~~
