Chapter 17: A Cottage in a Bamboo Forest

Yin Xuesong and his group of five people left the capital city and ran wildly all the way, without rest in between, so they ran for about 80 miles. A group of rough old men said that Xu Huanxin couldn't stand it, the night was coming, and he sat on the big rock on the side of the road and didn't leave: "Senior brother, let's take a rest, I really can't run, I haven't even drunk saliva this way, and my lungs are going to explode." ”

Hearing her say this, I found that Xu Huanxin's originally refreshing little girl was now messy, her clothes were wet with sweat, and her little face was red and her legs couldn't stop shaking. Not only her, but the rest of the people did not get there well, and each of them was sweating profusely and his head was floating in the dirt, as if he had fled.

Xing Hao took off his water bag and handed it to Xu Huanxin: "Senior sister, you drink saliva and take a rest, we can only run as fast as the situation is urgent, you bear with it, and when you are done, senior brother will buy you something delicious." ”

"Oh yes, then you can't go back, you have to go back, you're a leper dog. Xu Huanxin took Xing Hao's water bag with a ghostly head.

Yin Xuesong looked up at the sky, and then looked at the surrounding environment, which was surrounded by a bamboo forest, a large green area. Jumped on the top of a bamboo, looked around a few more times, and then floated down: "Everyone, there are bamboo forests all around, there are no villages and no households, it seems that we can only spend the night in the bamboo forest tonight." I've run so far today, and I'm tired, so let's get something to eat, let's rest early, and we'll be on the road early tomorrow morning, trying to find a decent place to spend the night tomorrow. ”

Everyone knew in their hearts that the current situation was special, and it was impossible to stay in the village for too long, and the matter of sleeping in the open could not be avoided. He gathered firewood and lit a fire, warmed the dry food he had brought with him, and ate it with plain water. After running for a day, everyone had backache and leg pain, and after eating, drowsiness gradually hit after a while. After all, this is an overnight stay in the wild, so it is better to be careful, arrange Xing Hao and Zuo Tianming to be responsible for guarding the first half of the night, and he and Master Zhenxiu are responsible for guarding the second half of the night, Xu Huanxin is a girl after all, so she didn't work too hard.

Sitting in front of the bonfire, Xing Hao asked Zuo Tianming: "After we met, I was busy doing things, and I didn't have time to have a good chat, how have you and Xiao Lie been doing this year?"

Zuo Tianming added a handful of dismantling to the bonfire to make the fire more prosperous: "After arriving in Yizhuang, Brother Xiao arranged an errand for me, that is, he was responsible for carrying the corpse, and he asked me to follow him if there was something that could not be handled by anyone, and I learned a lot from Brother Xiao." After listening to Luo's words, we practiced every day and didn't dare to delay for a while. However, I still miss our Changbai Mountain, although I am a little poorer, but my life is comfortable, not as many as the rules in the city. ”

"That's right, life in the mountain village will always be so comfortable, but at your age, you still have to see the world more, even if you don't want to stay with Xiao Lie in the future, you won't suffer elsewhere. ”

"Well, don't look at Brother Xiao's usual big swagger, but he is never sloppy in handling things. And whether it is Brother Xiao or everyone in Yizhuang, they are very good to me, I plan to follow Brother Xiao all the time, and I won't go there. ”

The two chatted for a while, Zuo Tianming said that he wanted to go for convenience, got up and walked into the depths of the bamboo forest. After about a bowl of tea, he didn't see Zuo Tianming come back, Xing Hao was worried and went to find Zuo Tianming, but after turning around, he didn't see Zuo Tianming's figure. Xing Hao wondered in his heart, where could this person go when he was blind in the dark. After turning around again and still not finding it, Xing Hao was completely panicked, and when he was in a hurry, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and he thought it was Zuo Tianming joking with him: "This black light is blind, don't make trouble, they are all sleeping, don't wake them up, come out quickly." ”

After screaming a few times and no one answered, I thought that the black shadow just now was going to the campfire, and I knew that something might happen if it wasn't good. immediately ran back, ran to the place and looked dumbfounded, everyone was held by the neck with a knife, and Zuo Tianming was also pushed over.

"Who are you, let them go, or don't blame me for being rude!" Xing Hao took off the pear flower gun on his back and looked ahead.

These people are too tired, to put it in normal times, they will not be tied up without noticing, everyone is so angry, now they can't move and can only let it go.

A bald black man flashed out from the middle of the team, holding a torch in his hand and came to Xing Hao: "Who are we? I still want to ask you! I don't want to find an inn to stay overnight at night, but I want to spend the night in this bamboo forest. ”

By the light of the fire, Xing Hao saw the situation on the other side clearly, the person who spoke was in his fifties, wearing a coarse cloth monk's robe, wearing coarse cloth monk shoes on his feet, and there were twenty or thirty people standing behind him, each holding a guy in his hands. Xu Huanxin grew up in the Pear Blossom Pie, even if it was something like a ghost village, she had never experienced this kind of posture herself, crying and shouting to Xing Hao: "Fifth senior brother save me, fifth senior brother save me." Zhen Xiu, Zuo Tianming, and Yin Xuesong were also trying their best to break free, no matter how hard they tried, the rope did not move.

The bald black man turned his head and said to the person behind him: "You save your energy, I know that you will be able to tie you up with sycamore rattan, unless this thing is the golden immortal of Da Luo, no one can break free." Also, plugging the mouth of that female doll made me upset when I cried. Someone under his hand took out a piece of white and blocked Xu Huanxin's mouth, and he was afraid that these people would scream, so he blocked their mouths by the way.

Seeing that the situation was tense, Xing Hao clasped his fists and said to the black man: "Senior, we are just travelers in a hurry, not murderers in your mouth, there must be some misunderstanding here." ”

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding can there be, take you back to Dazhai and interrogate you slowly, but you can't help but not recruit. After speaking, he told his subordinates to take these people back to the village.

At this time, Zuo Tianming let out a roar from his mouth, desperately struggling to the side of the black man. The big black man didn't understand what he meant, so he asked people to take out the white cloth from his mouth: "Master, Master, I'm Zuo Tianming, don't you know me?"

The black man was stunned by what he said, and looked left and right: "Zuo Tianming, are you Tianming?" With the faint light of the fire, Zuo Tianming was just familiar with this black man at first, and when he talked to Xing Hao, he suddenly remembered that this was not his own teacher, so he broke free to talk to the big man.

Dahan shone a torch on Zuo Tianming's body, and finally excited: "Ha, you are really Tianming, this has been six or seven years apart, and the changes are really big, if you don't say it, I can't see it." How are you going to be with them? Are you bad at learning?"

"Master, you let us go first, and tell you slowly, you really misunderstood, we are not murderers. Zuo Tianming was also very excited.

Untied everyone and sat down next to the bonfire, Zuo Tianming told all these things. The big man patted his big belly and said with relief: "Oh. It turns out that you are also going to hunt down Cui Sanshi, that bastard, which is not surprising. I said that you have deep internal strength, and you have all kinds of weapons and equipment. This time, you don't have to sleep in the wilderness, go to me, although it is simple, it is better than in this bamboo forest. ”

Xu Huanxin still snuggled in Xing Hao's arms with palpitations and sobbed, Dahan led them, walked for a while, and a village appeared in front of them, the village is not big, just a few families, Dahan said, this was indeed a village before, but when they came, there was no one here, so they fenced off outside and made a temporary cottage.

After the group walked into the hall and sat down one after another, Zuo Tianming couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and immediately asked Dahan: "Master, the apprentice has always had a question that I want to ask you." Like, why don't you tell me your name?"

"You haven't asked either!" the big man was resolute.

"Eh, it seems like that's the case, the weirdo is careless, can you tell me now?" Zuo Tianming's face was embarrassed, and the others couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"My name is Luo Wancheng, and I used to be a monk in Fahua Temple. "This Luo Wancheng is really a man, he doesn't speak long-winded, his voice is loud, and he looks like a hero.

"Then why is Master here?"

"After separating from you that year, I went back to Fahua Temple, and what I saw was a mess, the house was all burned, countless dead people, and a few surviving little monks were also frightened in a trance, and a slightly better one told me that there was a person named Cui Sanshi who came here to burn incense, obviously to burn incense, but in fact he came to rob the supreme treasure Buddha relics of Fahua Temple. That could make him snatch it so easily, and the monks resisted with all their might, but they were all killed by the people brought by Cui Sanshi, and only one or two little monks were spared. If I hadn't been there with you at the time, I guess I wouldn't have been here well. Recently, I heard that he went to Syracuse, and the city is quite far away, so I recruited so many people who had been oppressed and exploited by him to guard here, waiting for him to come back, so as to avenge the annihilation. After speaking, Luo Wancheng was a little sad, and looked down at his feet.

"Master, our purpose is the same, then Cui Sanshi is too much of a thing, and killing him can be regarded as a great scourge to the world. ”

"Alright, it's not early, I've already asked people to clean up the room, you can go and rest. Tianming, you come to my house, I want to talk to you as a teacher, I haven't seen you for so many years, has your kid's skill regressed?" Luo Wancheng said this, and pulled Zuo Tianming to the back room, leaving the four people staring at each other.

"Senior Luo is really a bold and open-minded person, so informal, he must be a person with unique skills. Afraid that these people would be embarrassed, Yin Xuesong said with a smile.

"Actually, it's the rough people in the mountains who don't know how to count. How could Zuo Tianming be his apprentice?" Xu Huanxin was still angry about what had just happened.

"Don't be rude to the old-timers, it's so late, let's go back to sleep, we'll be making plans tomorrow morning." The soldiers led the four of them to their respective rooms.

Lying on the bed, Yin Xuesong couldn't sleep, after the toss just now, plus the three people in the city in his heart, he didn't know what their situation was now.
