Part 49 The Praying Mantis is behind

When Yumeko and Yako find Huan Yi and Yako, the two of them are having breakfast on the street. Two people per person, two steamed buns, a bowl of mutton soup, and a plate of beef slices with stack sauce. They didn't eat or drink for a day and a night, and they were both hungry.

Gully and Mengzi sat down next to them, and asked for two copies as well, and then said, "We're tired to death, we ran all night looking for you, and you didn't send a signal if you escaped, and you actually ate here."

Miko and Uncle Zi didn't pay attention to them, their eyes drooped slightly, and they only focused on eating, the two had already discussed, if they saw Mengzi and Yuzi and resolutely ignored them, who made them ignore the signal left yesterday. After asking several times, Miko said angrily, "You ran away all night? ”

"Since you've been locked up overnight, how did you get out and have breakfast here early in the morning?" asked Yumeko with concern.

"Why didn't you follow the signal I left along the way yesterday?"

"Left a signal?" "Yumeko and Gully looked at each other for a moment, expressing confusion, "We checked when we returned yesterday, but we didn't find any signal." ”

"No way, I use five-color powder. It didn't rain yesterday, so it couldn't have been. Yako said.

"We really didn't see it. He pleaded, "If we see the five-colored powder you left behind, how can we see death and not save you?" We have been looking for you all night without sleeping, and today we also said that if we can't find it again, we plan to turn this county over." ”

"Don't fight, just go and see it after eating. The uncle interjected.

After breakfast, the four of them went to the Dian Wei Temple. There is indeed no trace of the five-colored pink on the entrance path, not to mention the five-colored powder, not even the rut marks of the carriage, it seems that they walked on the front foot yesterday, and someone cleaned the back foot, no wonder the gully said that he did not see the signal.

The four of them didn't walk through the main entrance of the ancestral hall, they jumped on the wall respectively, the ancestral hall was quiet, no one, not even incense. Was it too early for anyone to come, or was it a little strange for the four of them. Jumping off the courtyard wall, the four of them went on a look, and there was no one inside or outside the ancestral hall. Since there was no one in the ancestral hall, they had to go back to the street. The uncle kept in his mind the scene of seeing Xiahou Yi in that courtyard last night, and he asked the uncle to find a carriage, and they wanted to explore the place where they were locked up again.

After running several streets, he didn't find a carriage, but he was leading a cart pulled by a donkey, and Mengzi asked, "How did you find such a carriage, a carriage?" I still got this car by the way. But I can give the money to others. ”

So four well-dressed men sat in a donkey cart in a proper manner, and two of them were blindfolded. Fortunately, there are no pedestrians on the streets of Jiwu City, otherwise they would have been watched and laughed at. The four of them set off from the Dian Wei Temple, and Huan Yi and Miko counted the steps according to their memories and restored the driving route.

Just as the donkey cart of four people was passing through the city street, on the second floor of a shop along the street, a window opened slightly, and two people stood behind the window, staring at the back of the group in the distance. "Keep up with them. One of them waved his hand, and the other immediately made an obedient gesture, turned and hurried downstairs. The man who stayed upstairs was still looking out the window, twisting and playing with two translucent colored beads back and forth in one hand, which were the "glazed heavy feather beads".

The donkey cart is slower than the horse-drawn cart, so Miko and the others have to adjust the rhythm of the counting from time to time to make sure they don't go to the wrong intersection. After a long time of jolting, they finally arrived at the place where they were held

In the distance, four people jumped off the cart, and Yumeko moved her thin waist and shouted that she was about to fall apart. Miko and Uncle Zi also rubbed their eyes, and the donkey cart was pulled into the forest and tied up. A few people walked towards the courtyard.

I got closer to see what the yard that had closed them yesterday looked like. The shape here is very much like a simple farmhouse, the courtyard wall is enclosed by woods and fences, there is an equally original wooden plaque above the gate built of logs, and four lines of books are written "Sunset Stable", it seems that this is indeed a place to raise horses, no wonder I saw so many horses in the yard last night.

The gate of the courtyard was closed, and the four of them quietly climbed the two big trees, hidden among the leaves and fences, and looked into the courtyard. The front yard is very large, and the front is a closed courtyard door, so you can't see the inside. The rest of the place was mostly stables with horses tethered, and on the other side was a row of huts, one of which it seems they had been locked up yesterday. The dozen or so horses were still tied to the yard, and Miko pulled a piece of bark from the tree and struck it on the front calf of one of the horses, and the horse raised its front legs and neighed, causing the two horses next to them to bark as well. Then two big dogs came out of nowhere, standing in the yard and barking wildly. The gate of the courtyard was opened at once, and three strong men with sticks rushed out, and they stood in the courtyard and shouted: "Dare to steal horses!

The four people lying on the wall pouted secretly. Bang, one of the big men covered his shoulders with a sigh, and the other big man bent his knees and knelt on one knee. At the same time, two more horses neighed. Miko hit four times at the same time, probably because she was locked up all night yesterday, and she was angry. The uncle shook his head helplessly.

When the three of them saw that someone was attacking them, they scolded loudly. The four of them were just about to jump down to teach them a lesson, when suddenly a black shadow flew into the courtyard like a whirlwind. The three strong men in the courtyard instantly popped three times, and they were kicked down in response, clutching their chests and groaning.

The four people on the tree were shocked, there were still people, they didn't know.

The black figure fell, and I saw a man in a black bodysuit with a crescent-shaped black mask covering half of his face. He stood there with a long, narrow knife in his hand. Without the reaction of the three people on the ground, he stepped forward with an arrow, shook the long knife out with a "swish", revealing a bright blade against a person's neck, and asked coldly: "Where is the person?"

The man was so shocked that he stammered a little, and hurriedly said, "People, who is it?"

"Four people. ”

The four people in the tree were stunned, looking for us?

"I didn't see anyone coming in. We also came out just after hearing the horse barking, but we didn't expect to be plotted as soon as we came out. The man with the knife stammered and explained. The other two had already crawled into the courtyard gate while they were talking.

The man in black shook his hand and withdrew his knife, and when he saw the bark on the ground, he walked over to pick it up, looked around the yard, and then fell on the big tree. As soon as he thought about it, two figures had already flown out of the courtyard gate, coming directly at him. The man in black hurriedly flashed, protected his upper body with a long knife, and retreated seven or eight steps back in a row to let people come over.

Rushing out was an old man and a young man, the old man was the one who tied up his uncle and Miko yesterday, and the young man was a young man with clear eyebrows. The old man shouted, "Who is coming, why is it hurting?" The man in black was silent, he didn't seem interested in dealing with the old man, he wanted to turn around and walk in the direction where his uncle was hiding, but the old man stopped the crutches in his hand: "If you hit someone, you want to leave?" The young man raised his hand, and a long whip with a whistle was thrown at the man in black.

The man in black didn't reply, he raised his hand, wrapped the whip with the blade in his hand, and then pulled it back hard, the young man couldn't stand steadily, and his body flew towards the man in black with the whip. Seeing this, the old man waved the cane in his hand and hit the man in black with his head, intending to force the man in black to withdraw his knife and spread the whip. Unexpectedly, the man in black did not give in, but took his arm with him, and even took the young man with a whip to hit the old man. The old man didn't expect him to be like this, he was afraid of hurting his own people, and he was afraid that he would be hurt, so he could only withdraw. He saw the young man flying over, and wanted to catch it with his hand, but unexpectedly, the force of the flight was so great that the young man knocked down the old man, and everyone staggered several steps, and the old man barely stood on the ground with his cane.

This is just an instantaneous thing, the four people on the tree frowned in their eyes, such a domineering play, and looking at the dress of the man in black, they probably guessed who it might be, and the four people subconsciously glanced at each other in an instant, and then bounced away from the tree like a bullet.

The old man and the young man naturally did not give up, they continued to fight with the man in black, if the discerning person was there, it could be seen that they were not the opponent of the man in black at all. Not to mention the two of them, even the four of them are not completely sure. Fortunately, the man in black had no intention of hurting them and never drew his knife, but after a few moves, both the old man and the young man had been hit hard by the blade of his knife. The man in black had no intention of fighting, he flew towards the tree, squatting on the branch, he looked around, and glared fiercely at the old and young in the yard: they actually slipped away.
