"The old man is polite. ”

Looking back, not far away, a long-bearded old man with a cane, a rickety, and kind eyebrows was walking slowly towards him, full of kindness.

The old man was dressed simply, much better than ordinary peasants, and he also had a jade pendant hanging from his waist, which was much stronger than the old woman last night.

After looking at the old man for a while, and then thinking of what he had just seen, Cui Xiu tightened his body and smiled politely, but he didn't get off the horse, and only arched his hand and said: "Xiaosheng still has important things to deal with, so it's not good to delay, so I won't disturb it." ”

"The old man's surname is Liu, but he is the Li Zheng of this Liujia Village, the more urgent it is, the more you can't be in a hurry, Childe might as well take a break, even if people don't eat and drink, Childe, your foot strength is also to slow down. ”

The old man seemed very enthusiastic, and persuaded again.

Hearing the old man say that this village is called Liujia Village, Cui Xiu's heart moved, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the place where the village Han gathered.

Just this look, he was shocked in his heart.

Not to mention that all the village Han furniture was gone, even the jujube red horse also disappeared.

His complexion changed slightly, and Cui Xiu immediately said to Li Zheng: "Don't bother, Xiaosheng will leave, take care." ”

Let's just hit the horse and leave.

Although the old horse was thin and weak, he had enough rest last night, and he didn't gallop much today, but this run broke out with a speed that did not match his size.

His reaction made him stunned, and he didn't react for a while, but soon, his face changed.

It's just that when he came back to his senses, Cui Xiu had already ridden away from the horse, and with the old horse, his figure gradually disappeared.

Li Zheng snorted coldly, and his crutches hit the ground, and his face was extremely gloomy.

After a while, accompanied by the sound of hurried horses' hooves, the village men that Cui Xiu had seen before each rode a horse, carrying knives and sticks, and came to Li Zheng's side.

If there were outsiders here, they would be very surprised that there were so many healthy horses in a small village.

"Why is it so abrasive?

Several village men had just ridden their horses to Li Zheng's side, and before they could speak, Li Zheng was reprimanded.

Hearing this, several village men were also stunned.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't you chase after you?! That kid thinks he has found something, and he can't let him get away and attract the government. ”

Li Zheng's face was gloomy.

"Fifth master, don't worry! I won't let that kid run away!"

"Drive!"

Several village men put down their words, did not hesitate, flicked their horses, and chased after Cui Xiu in the direction of leaving.

......

"Man, I'm afraid it's up to you to get away with it today. ”

However, it was said that Cui Xiu left Liujia Village in a hurry, only rode an old horse out of less than a mile, found a dense jungle, and dismounted at the edge of the forest.

As for why he did this, he has to start from what he saw and heard at the entrance of Liujia Village.

At that time, he felt that the eyes of those village men were not quite right, especially the jujube red horse around them, which seemed a little familiar to him.

Although he was not very sure, he had a good memory, and he felt that the horse was somewhat similar to the horse pulled by Wu Chen's carriage.

If it was just like this, it wouldn't make him have some bad thoughts, after all, whether the jujube red horse was as he guessed, it was Wu Zhen's horse, and even if it was, it could be that Wu Zhen and his party were at the foot of Liujia Village, and the villagers were helping to take care of it.

But then, in that Na Lizheng, he saw another thing.

Speaking of which, this is also due to his profession in his previous life, observing the aspects of other people's clothing and dressing, and having some of his own experience, so he can remember these details.

The jade pendant on Li Zheng's body, if he remembers correctly, it should be worn by Wu Zheng.

Cui Xiu didn't think that Wu Zhen would give such a piece of jade pendant that looked more precious to a village Zhongzheng at will, and with Wu Zhen's identity, he would not be short of money, unless......

Wu Zhen and the others had something bad in Liujia Village.

"Don't stay...... That's what you mean?"

Cui Xiu inexplicably remembered the whispers that came into his ears when he left the strange place.

It's no wonder that Cui Xiu thinks too much, it's really the encounter with a ghost last night that made him a little nervous and too vigilant.

But even if he thinks badly, for the safety of his own family, it's nothing.

Thinking of this, he lifted his long sword, and the scabbard slapped vigorously on the old horse's buttocks.

The old horse was hit by this, neighed, and instantly ran out.

The old horse ran away, and Cui Xiu, who was uneasy in his heart, did not dare to slack off, carrying a burden and a water bladder and a long sword, and rushed into the mountains and forests, hiding in a dense bush, staring at the road to see if his guess was correct.

Whether you think it right or not, you will have a result in a while.

He preferred that his guess was wrong......

"Bang Tong Bang Tong ......"

Soon after, however, the sound of horses' hooves sank into his heart......

It was the sound of at least five or six horses galloping on the ground at the same time.

And in a few moments, he saw the horses.

It was five middle-aged men riding horses, and three of them were the village men of Liujia Village that Cui Xiu had seen at the entrance of the village before.

Although they are still dressed as peasants, the men with knives and sticks have a fierce atmosphere.

"Brother Huzi, look at the imprint, that kid ran along the official road. ”

The five rode their horses to the front of the mountain forest, slowed down slightly, and probed the trajectory of the old horse.

The man in the lead should be what they call 'Brother Huzi', 'Brother Huzi' heard this, looked around, didn't know what he noticed, and suddenly glanced into the mountains and forests.

"Dog, stone, Da Liu, the three of you continue to chase along the official road, Ah Tie and I stay, those scholars are the most cunning, if it is the same as what the fifth master said, if he notices that something is wrong, it is difficult to say whether he will hide, this situation is not uncommon......"

"Hey, this calculation is not less than the fifth master told us, then we will go, although the kid is riding an old horse, it seems that the speed is not slow. ”

The thin man who called 'Brother Huzi' before smiled with a mouthful of yellow teeth.

'Brother Huzi' nodded, and waited for the three of them to chase after him, and then he paid attention to the mountain forest where Cui Xiu was hiding.

“......”

Cui Xiu, who was hiding in the bushes, almost wanted to say "MMP" at this time.

Originally, he thought that he was doing it safely enough, but he didn't expect the other party to be more cunning and seemed to be full of experience, which was his mistake.

Run!

Although Cui Xiu didn't expect this, he understood that in the face of these big men, even if there were only two left now, it was not something that he, a frail scholar, could deal with, and for the sake of his life, he could only go deep into the mountains and forests.

As for whether you can go away or not, compared with a few villagers who are familiar with the mountains and forests, whether you have an advantage, that's another story, after all, you can't sit still, it's really not good......

Cui Xiu tightened the long sword in his hand.

Immediately, without the slightest hesitation, he went directly to the depths of the mountain forest.

And just when he made a move, 'Brother Huzi' had already discovered that something was wrong.

Cui Xiu is still inexperienced in the end, and the traces left when he entered the mountains and forests are too obvious in the eyes of the two men who have been in the mountains and forests since childhood.
