Chapter Twenty-Five: Finding Out the News

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the dark clouds came very quickly, covering the entire sky in an instant, and then the wind blew up, and countless grass roots and leaves were swept up in the air. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

A moment later, the bean-sized raindrops crackled and fell, and there was so much in front of me that it was almost impossible to discern the way forward.

"It's raining heavily. Tie Yi sighed, they didn't carry umbrellas and clothes, and it was very difficult to travel at this time.

"There's a little pavilion over there, so it's better to take shelter for a while. Nangong Muwu proposed.

There is still a dozen miles to Haitu Village here, and the lurking is not particularly important, and it is not enough to brave the heavy rain to hurry. The three of them ran to the pavilion and sat down to rest.

The rain kept falling and showed no signs of slowing down. The three of them had their own concerns, and sat silently without talking.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and everyone followed the sound, only to see a fat yellow horse galloping. The horse was extremely fast, making countless splashes.

As if seeing the pavilion, immediately the knight tightened his reins, and the steed neighed and stopped in front of the pavilion.

Immediately, the knight quickly approached the pavilion, patted the rain on his body, and cursed, "This rain is so heavy!"

The water droplets splashed on Jing Feng's body, and the comer arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry." ”

Jing Feng waved his hand, and then he noticed that the person who came was not very old, his skin was as white as the robes on his body, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was very handsome. He had a lot of small baggage pinned to him, and he didn't know what he was carrying.

The young man also glanced at Jing Feng, his gaze stopped on the ink dragon knife on his waist for a moment, and then his gaze turned to the outside of the pavilion.

The four of them were huddled in a small pavilion, but they were speechless and did not talk to each other, and the situation was very strange.

In a short time, the rain gradually stopped, and the young man got up, ran to the yellow horse, turned on the horse, and without saying a word, the reins were blown, and the horse went straight to the south.

Jing Feng looked at the young man's back in the distance, thoughtful.

"Brother Jing, do you know him?" asked Nangong Muwu.

Jing Feng retracted his thoughts and shook his head slightly, "No, I just feel a little weird. In fact, when he met the young man in white, Jing Feng inexplicably felt a familiar feeling in his heart.

"Weird?" Nangong Muwu frowned, "Could it be someone from the Sea Shark Gang?"

Tie Yi came over, "This person is well-dressed, polite, without a trace of the recklessness of the people in the gang, but like a rich son." ”

Nangong Muwu nodded in agreement, although Jing Feng had other ideas in his heart, he also felt that the young man in white was not murderous, and he had no ill will towards them.

The rain had stopped, but the ink clouds in the sky had not yet dispersed.

The three of them went on the road again, and after the heavy rain, the road was muddy everywhere, and it was very difficult to walk.

Tie Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "If I knew this, I would have brought the horse here." ”

Nangong Muwu and Jing Feng also ignored this at the beginning, so they had to shake their heads and smile bitterly at this time, and continue to hurry.

After walking for about an hour, when the three of them were a little tired, Tie Yi, who was walking in front, suddenly made a silent gesture, and then Nangong Muwu and Jing Feng immediately understood and looked ahead cautiously.

I saw a thin old man on the dirt road ahead, carrying a rag bag on his shoulder, walking slowly.

Tie Yi winked, and the three of them walked over slowly.

"Hello, old man. Tie Yi took the initiative to say hello.

"Who are you?" the old man stopped, and looked at the three young men in front of him vigilantly and with some fear.

Tie Yi smiled slightly and said, "A few of us are from Yongzhou, and we traveled here, but we got lost, do you know where this road leads?"

The old man frowned and said, "Yongzhou, it's not close to here, where are you going to go?"

Tie Yi scratched his head, "Qingyun Mansion is in this direction, right?"

The old man nodded, "This road can be passed, but it has to go around a long way, and it has to pass through Haitu Village......"

When it came to Haitu Village, the old man inadvertently trembled, and this small action did not escape the eyes of the three of them.

Tie Yi said tentatively: "After walking a long way, we are tired and hungry, so we can rest for a while in Haitu Village. ”

The old man's face twitched violently, and he said nervously: "You can't go anywhere! You can't go to Haitu Village!"

"Why?"

The old man's face was very ugly, and after being silent for a long time, he continued: "I don't know where a group of bandits came from to occupy Haitu Village, you will only die if you go over like this." ”

"Really?!" Tie Yi made a look of surprise, "Thank you, old man, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know that we would be in danger, but how would we go?"

The old man took a deep breath and calmed his nervousness, "Go forward from here, there is a small bridge not far away, you don't cross the bridge, follow the river all the way to the west, walk for half an hour to go to the official road, and then walk along the official road all the way to the south, you can reach Qingyun City." ”

"Okay, thanks. Tie Yi nodded, "Old man, listen to what you just said, you know the situation here very well, are you a local?"

The old man shook his head helplessly, his face was ugly, "Young man, let me tell you the truth, in fact, I am from Haitu Village, and I was forced to do chores by that gang of bandits. ”

Tie Yi's brows furrowed, "Why don't you run away?"

"Escape?!" the old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm old, my legs and feet are not good, and I can't escape." Besides, the leaves fall back to the roots, and I am already a dying person, so I will stay here. ”

Tie Yi frowned and said, "Old man, what kind of place is Haitu Village?"

The old man seemed to have not had a good conversation with someone for a long time, and when he met Jing Feng and the others, he gradually became talkative, "Haitu Village is a small fishing village near the sea, backed by a large forest, and the scenery is not bad. There used to be more than a dozen families and more than 60 people, but now it has been completely occupied by bandits, and there are more than 100 of them, with swords and swords, and they have killed all the people in the village who resisted them, leaving only some old and weak women and children to do things for them......"

As he spoke, the old man suddenly realized, "What are you asking these for? Who are you?!"

Tie Yi waved his hand and said: "Old man, don't be nervous, we want to report to Qingyun Mansion and call the officers and soldiers to come to suppress the bandits." ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "Since ancient times, there have been a nest of officials and bandits, and officers and soldiers will not come." When the massacre in Haitu Village was carried out, many people also ran out, and they must have also gone to report to the officials, where did they see the shadow of an officer and soldier!"

Thinking of where he had eaten behind closed doors in Yunzhou Mufu, Tie Yi sighed helplessly, "Since this matter has been encountered by us, we can't stand idly by, I will do my best." ”

The old man also sighed, "Thank you, the world is generally dark, and Qingyun Mansion may not take care of it." ”

"Do your best. Tie Yi looked up into the distance, "Old man, goodbye!"
