Chapter XVI Decisions
Everyone didn't realize the imminent danger of the crisis, the man who walked at the front of the line, still smiling heartily, suddenly the laughter stopped abruptly, the person walking behind him didn't notice the front, and when they collided together, they found that they had fallen to the ground, everyone thought they were joking, the man stepped forward and turned over the man's body, only to find that he had an arrow feather inserted in his chest.
The man turned around, and just as he was about to speak, an arrow feather shot directly through the skull, and then lay on the ground, and everyone panicked and looked around in horror.
Then a few more arrows were fired, and a few more corpses lay on the ground, and a few people were shot, but none of them were fatally wounded. β
Only then did everyone come to their senses and leaned towards the surrounding tree trunks, Lao Li was not idle after shouting, picked up Li Qingzhao, who was still in a daze, and hid behind a tree trunk, and then lowered his head and looked at the surrounding bushes.
After a few people hid in the trunk of the tree, the arrow feather also stopped, thinking that there was no threat, there was a scream behind him, and when he heard the sound, the last person was lying on the ground with a hideous knife mark on his neck, and he looked at it with a face full of blood, a gangster, and a robber with a big knife stood there, and grinned after wiping the blood splashed on his face.
Before everyone could recover from their fear, many men with big knives came out behind them, with bloodthirsty faces.
Lao Li recognized that the leader was the robber from the next mountain, and he was also the thug of the dog officer, although there were not many people, but everyone was unarmed and not an opponent, Lao Li glanced at Li Qingzhao, whose body was trembling slightly, and shouted loudly to everyone: "Run separately, run quickly." β
After hearing this, everyone scattered viciously and fled, and the robber leader looked at the scattered crowd and sneered: "Chase me, just leave a few alive, and kill the others." β
As soon as the words fell, a group of robbers also scattered and chased after everyone.
......
In the valley, Li Chenfeng moved around a little anxiously, and the old beggar lying on the bed on his side also moved his gaze, and after Li Chenfeng walked a few laps, the old beggar couldn't help but speak: "Don't turn around, I'm dizzy when I turn." β
"Old man, you said nothing happened to them, they didn't come back all day yesterday. Li Chenfeng looked at the old beggar and asked.
Before the old beggar could speak, there was a noise outside, Li Chenfeng broke out of the door, thinking that Lao Li and others were back, but when he came out, he saw that only Liu Dachuan was the only one who came back, looking at Liu Dachuan who was a little injured and pale, Li Chenfeng stepped forward to ask what was wrong.
Liu Dachuan didn't care about the injury on his chest, reluctantly got up, and said: "We met a robber from the next mountain on the road yesterday, and then Uncle Li said to flee separately, and then we separated, except for me...... Isn't anyone coming back?"
Li Chenfeng shook his head after hearing this, Liu Dachuan was also depressed when he saw this, and then lowered his head and remained silent. After hearing the news, many people cried even more, this time many people's sons and husbands were also in the team, and if they didn't come back, they were afraid that they would be more than lucky.
Li Chenfeng didn't ask any further, turned around and went back to the thatched hut, looked at the old beggar leaning against the corner and said, "Did you hear everything?"
The old beggar nodded.
On the second day, the people who went out to look for carried back a few corpses, many people were lying on the corpses in pain, Li Chenfeng stepped forward and turned around, did not find the bodies of Lao Li's father and daughter, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that the two did not encounter accidents, when he left, Li Chenfeng counted, a total of fifteen people, and now there are only eight corpses, indicating that there are still six people alive, if they are still alive, they should come back now, but there is no news until now, the only explanation is that they were caught, and the only reason to catch them should be the location of the valley, so I think about it and explain itγ
Li Chenfeng told everyone about the guess, and when he heard the location of the valley, he was startled. When Li Chenfeng proposed to rescue a few people, except for the relatives of the few people who were arrested, everyone else was silent, and some even fanned the flames and said: "Maybe they have already revealed our location, I think we should run away." β
The few people who were still standing beside Li Chenfeng also hesitated, and after looking at Li Chenfeng apologetically, they also walked away. Li Chenfeng was a little angry, staring at a few people who drove away: "They are your relatives, can your relatives ignore them?"
Although a few people felt a little guilty, they still didn't change their minds, "It's futile for us to go to the rescue, just how a few of us deal with the murderous robbers, and if they really say the location, it will be betraying their relatives." β
Many people next to him echoed softly, although Li Chenfeng was a little unsure whether the location was exposed, but he believed Lao Li and a few people. looked at the people with the same corner of their mouths in an instant, and they didn't bother to defend anything, but they didn't expect that for their own interests, they could even give up their relatives.
A group of people were ready to move out of this place after discussing it, Li Chenfeng looked at the people who packed up their things and left, and the old beggar came to the side to look at the people who left, and slowly said: "Do you see human nature clearly?
Li Chenfeng didn't speak, just nodded, his eyes revealing firmness.
The old beggar laughed a few times, took a sip of wine, and said, "Then I, the old man, will accompany you for a while, and then you won't be so frightened that you will run away." β
"Don't hold me back, old man. Li Chenfeng replied.
As the sun set, many people had already packed up their things and left the valley, and a small number of people were not ready, but they were also packing up in a hurry, Li Chenfeng was speechless for a long time when he saw it in his eyes, and after the last person disappeared from sight with his things, Li Chenfeng looked at the empty valley and sighed.
Before everyone left, Li Chenfeng made inquiries about the robbers' stockade, which was located on a hill in the west of the valley, and although the two mountains were close to each other, it would take half a day's journey. Li Chenfeng wanted to discuss countermeasures, but the old beggar had already fallen asleep, and Li Chenfeng had no choice but to take one step at a time.
Li Chenfeng looked at the snoring old beggar with some concern, and muttered in his heart: "Is it really a master among masters?"
On the second day, the two of them walked for a long time, and finally saw the robbers' stockade on the mountainside, Li Chenfeng was a little nervous, two steps and one turn, three steps and one roll, the old beggar who walked behind, but walked frankly, looking at Li Chenfeng who was rolling and climbing, with a look of disdain.
"Old man, get down and roll over, what are you doing standing so high, be careful of being discovered. β
Li Chenfeng turned around and just saw the old beggar who was still standing and walking, urging in a low voice.
The old beggar saw that Li Chenfeng was serious, bent down, rolled around, rolled over to Li Chenfeng's side, and lay down with him.
Li Chenfeng lay on the ground and looked at the village years ago, the village surrounded by logs has only one entrance, there is a watchtower standing next to the door, and then there are houses with black tiles and stone walls.
Li Chenfeng, who was still exploring the environment, suddenly felt a chill in his lower abdomen, and subconsciously lowered his head, only to see the old beggar stretching his hand to his abdominal area, not much distance from his little brother, Li Chenfeng instantly had goosebumps, forgot his own environment and shouted: "The old man didn't expect that since you are so good, I will say that you are weird old thing, did you have thoughts about me from the beginning, let me tell you, the master is not the kind of casual person, you die of this heart." β
The old beggar took a sip, but before he could speak, his eyes stopped not far away, and then his chin pointed back, Li Chenfeng thought that the old beggar was squeezing his eyebrows, and he was even more fragrant, the old beggar shook his head, and then rolled and disappeared into the grass.
"What are you running away from, do you say that you molested me while I was sleeping, I'm still a virgin, and you let me ...... in the future"
Before he finished speaking, a pair of hands were placed on Li Chenfeng's shoulders, Li Chenfeng subconsciously moved his hands away, and then said, "Don't worry, don't you see that I'm busy." β
