Chapter 5 Distress
As the remaining glimmer of light faded from the horizon, darkness swept over like a tide, and finally the whole world was pitch black except for a few twinkling stars in the deep night sky. The two finally found a tree. It was a very large tree, with a huge canopy that stretched far away, and its branches twisted and varied, and it looked as eerie as a ghost from a distance. Lin Tian wanted to light the torch, but Lin Chen clapped his hand and stopped him: "Light the torch and we will be completely exposed." Come, get off the carriage. Lin Chen tied the horse to the tree, picked up his luggage and beckoned Lin Tian to go deeper into the wilderness. The two walked for a while, and Lin Chen didn't stop until the big tree became blurry and almost invisible. "Alright, that's it. Lin Chen spread a thin sheet on the ground, "You change into the new clothes your mother sewed for you, and be warmer." Spread old clothes on the ground as mattresses. We'll be here for one night tonight, and we'll be in Hezhou City tomorrow for another day. ”
Lin Tian nodded, changed his clothes, and lay down. The earth was still a little cold on a summer night, but after lying down for a while, Lin Tian was able to get used to it. Sleeping on the cold ground, Lin Tian suddenly missed her mother a little, she was alone at home, and she didn't know if it would be okay. When Lin Tian went out, he also found Qu Xian and Feng Long, and asked them to go every two or three days to see if his mother needed anything.
It was late at night, the air became humid, Lin Tian was sleepy, his eyes gradually couldn't open, and he fell asleep.
In a daze, Lin Tian felt that someone was patting him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his father lying on the ground, his eyes staring into the distance. Lin Tian was about to speak, but his father's hand was already covering his mouth, Lin Chen lowered his voice and said, "We're going to be bad this time, there are people in the distance, most of them are bandits." Don't be silent. After speaking, he gently withdrew his hand. Lin Tian nodded, and slowly turned around, lying on the ground, looking into the distance.
Lin Tian followed his father's gaze for a long time before he vaguely saw a few figures, but under the cover of the night, he couldn't see how many people there were. I saw these figures sticking to the ground, walking fast, and their target was the carriage of Lin Tian and his son. A few shadows soon reached the bottom of the tree and then entered the carriage. The moment they entered the carriage, Lin Tian saw a subtle white light flickering under the night in the distance, this cargo bandit had a knife!
Lin Tian felt a chill in his heart, it was over, his cold sweat suddenly came down, he had never experienced this, he felt frightened. Lin Tian looked at his father eagerly, and saw that a little sweat was oozing from his father's forehead. It seems that my father has no choice. Yes, it's a dead end! When the robbers see that there is no one in the car, they will definitely search the neighborhood, and if they don't run, they will sit and wait for death. But there was no cover in this place, even if Lin Chen's father and son wanted to escape, once they got up, they would be completely exposed. If the bandits search for them, they can only fight for their lives. There were so many of them, Lin Tian was a little desperate.
Lin Chen looked at his son, knowing what he was thinking, and said in a low voice: "It's not that time yet, let's take a look first." ”
Suddenly there was a little light under the big tree in the distance, and it turned out that the bandits had lit torches. Lin Tian could see clearly, it turned out that there were seven of the bandits, and they were wearing night clothes, because they were too far away, Lin Tian could only vaguely see that their faces seemed to be covered with masks. At this moment, they were gathering together, as if they were discussing something. The few people gathered for a while, the three of them got into the carriage and drove quickly towards the main road, and the other four looked at the spot for a while, but they rushed to the opposite place where Lin Tian and his son were hiding.
Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and he probably escaped the catastrophe. Luckily, they didn't find out. Lin Chen tugged at Lin Tian's clothes: "They can't find anyone over there, they will definitely turn back." Let's climb forward slowly, I say run, you get up and run. ”
The father and son slowly crawled forward for a while, and when they reached a slightly lower place, Lin Chen whispered, "Run." Lin Tian got up and ran. The father and son tried their best to bend their waists and rushed forward as fast as they could. Lin Tian ran in front, but his father followed closely behind Lin Tian's footsteps.
After running for a while, Lin Tian suddenly heard someone shouting, "There!" He panicked, and his feet couldn't help but speed up. I listened to it again, but I couldn't hear anything behind me except for my father's rapid breathing. Lin Tianzheng was thinking, suddenly stepped on the air, the lower half of his body fell into a narrow hole, his foot seemed to be broken, the pain was terrible, Lin Tian struggled to climb out, but Lin Chen behind him pressed him in, and said, "Tian'er, hide in, don't make a sound, don't come out no matter what happens, your sister and your sister still need you to take care of you." If you can get away with it, rip the cuffs of your clothes. ”
After Lin Chen finished speaking, he crossed the small hole, but turned ninety degrees, changed directions and ran. Lin Tian's brain was blank, he was shocked and scared, his ankle was hot and painful, he wanted to call his father, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth.
After a while, Lin Tian heard a few shouts and curses: "You fucking run again." The run is quite neat. Big brother, this little pariah owes a lot of money, and he is so good at tossing. ”
Lin Tian chuckled in his heart, his father was arrested.
