Chapter 416: Robbers
He is really anxious now, and the only clue now is this phoenix pendant and dragon bracelet, but he knows that this is a symbol of the imperial power of this country, and he wants to go to the imperial city to confirm it, but he walks from here at the speed of a mortal, and he can't reach it in ten days and half a month, can he not be in a hurry?
Looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, it was like a human eye blinking, and he always felt that someone was spying on him, Haikui knew that it was not an illusion, it was for sure, that in the corner where he didn't know where, there was a person spying on him.
Hai Kui looked at the sky at an angle of forty-five degrees, why he cultivated, how to break the current predicament, lingered in his heart for a long time.
"Brother Sheng, what are you thinking?" Lin Yu suddenly asked.
After a while, Haikui replied faintly, "I wonder why people live, where do you come from, and where am I going?"
Lin Yu was also silent for a while!
This question is very profound, and many people don't want to think about it, because they can't understand it, and if they have to think about it, they will either become psychotic or neurotic!
After the two of them were silent, they were extremely silent, and sleepiness slowly hit, and before they knew it, they fell asleep on the low tree on the side of this silent road.
I don't know when I remembered the sound of a bell, crisp and melodious, Hai Kui opened his eyes and found that he was asleep, Lin Yu was still asleep on his shoulder, his left shoulder was a little numb, he was pressed by Lin Yu, but seeing that Lin Yu was still sleeping peacefully, Hai Kui did not move.
Looking up at the place where the bell sounded, I saw a small group of horses coming from a distance, and I could vaguely see that it was a caravan, and the horses were all cargo, and the people led the horses away.
At this time, the sky is only slightly bright, it is estimated that it is five or six o'clock, but many people who walk in business generally get up early and rush to leave, and only rest when the stars and moons are in time!
Haikui gently pushed Lin Yu, Lin Yu rubbed his sleepy eyes, turned his head and saw Haikui, blushed, and muttered, "Why am I asleep?" Haikui said funny: "It's late at night, why don't you sleep!"
Lin Yu glared at Haikui dissatisfied, and at the same time heard the sound of the bell ringing, and also looked back, and saw a team of horses from far and near.
Haikui carried all the baggage, "Let's go!"
"Someone is coming, let's hide first!" Lin Yu said as he pulled Haikui and squatted behind a low tree to hide.
Haikui looked at her puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Why are you hiding?"
Lin Yu's face was still red, "It's easy for us to misunderstand, and besides, we can't help misunderstanding people in this place where we don't have a store in front of the village or behind it!"
Haikui thought about it, Lin Yu was reasonable, and said in a low voice: "It's still a woman who is careful!"
Lin Yu lowered his head a little twisted, rubbing the corners of his clothes embarrassedly.
The team of horses got closer and closer, and the people and horses became clearer and clearer in Haikui's eyes, and the sound of bells became clearer.
The people of the horse team were all optimistic about the road under their feet, and none of them looked left and right, and their clothes should be merchants from foreign countries.
Haikui watched as they all passed him, and the hunched things on the horse's back were wrapped in a thick cloth and covered with a layer of tarpaulin.
This tarpaulin is waterproof, and it is estimated that the camel's things are afraid of water.
In summer, it rains a lot, so it's normal to cover it with some tarpaulin.
The horse team consisted of six people, more than a dozen horses, and the horses were all strung with a rope, so the province ran out of order.
When they approached, Hai Kui and Lin Yu held their breath, as if they were thieves.
The day was already bright at this time, but the sun had not yet risen, and at this time people's hearts would be more relaxed, because in their opinion, nothing would happen during the day, and the leader of the horse team shouted a few words loudly, and the horse team slowed down, as if they wanted to rest, and looked at their dusty appearance, as if they had been on the road all night.
The group of people slowly walked out of fifty meters, Hai Kui saw that they looked a little like they wanted to rest, so he prepared to pull Lin Yu and whispered: "Let's go, it's not unseemly to follow from behind!"
Lin Yu was ashamed, but then suddenly straightened his chest and said: "What am I afraid of, as long as I worship heaven and earth with my brother, we will be husband and wife!"
Haikui glanced at her, "Why do you keep thinking about me?"
Lin Yu slapped Haikui angrily.
As soon as the two of them stood up and were about to go around from behind the low tree to the main road, they only heard a loud swishing sound, which startled the two of them, Haikui hurriedly squatted down and pulled down Lin Yu, who was also startled.
The two of them looked intently, and saw that it was a piece of wood flying out, smashing one of the caravan to the ground, and the remaining five people in the caravan panicked, and quickly hid behind the horses, and someone drew a knife to guard against it.
There happened to be a small forest on their right, and Haikui whispered to Lin Yu, "Did you suffer from some ambush?"
Lin Yu also watched nervously.
There was silence for a while, and the frightened horses could not run because they were all strung together with ropes, and they all fell silent in a panic.
The world suddenly fell silent, save for the sound of horses stomping on the ground and snorting.
Haikui knew that this was the calm before the outbreak, but if it was an ambush, wouldn't it be better to rush forward while they were panicking?
After a few more seconds, the caravan's ** shouted: "Thief, what is hiding and hiding!"
"Acquaintances throw things down, get out!" said a voice in the grove.
Hai Kui thought about it for a while, this gave psychological pressure, and he didn't rush out, there was only one explanation, there was not enough manpower!
Lin Yu was extremely nervous, the cat's waist grabbed Hai Kui tightly, and his body was close to Hai Kui's back, the pair of breasts was at least 36C or more, full of elasticity, anyway, he was quite comfortable, so he didn't remind Lin Yu.
Someone in the caravan went to look at the fallen man, and then probably whispered something, and saw them run quickly!
Another piece of wood flew out of the woods and struck a horse, which stumbled and immediately straightened up, screaming and running forward.
I heard someone in the caravan shouting, "Hurry up, we will be safe away from this wood, there is an open field ahead!"
Haikui estimated that the people in the caravan also reacted, maybe the other party was not a lot of people, after all, no one was a fool.
Hai Kui thought about it again, and he was slightly frightened, and he didn't know how long the people in the grove had been lurking, fortunately he and Lin Yu stopped to rest last night, and fortunately he fell asleep looking at the stars and the moon, if he walked a little more last night, the flying wood was estimated to be enough for Hai Kui to drink a pot, although his physical strength is very strong now, but the man who threw the wood is very strong, but it is not ruled out that he used some tools to eject the wood.
As soon as the people of the caravan accelerated, the people in the woods became anxious and shouted loudly, "If you don't stop, we will kill you!"
But the caravan men did not stop, and they hurried their horses and trotted forward.
Haikui whispered to Lin Yu: "This bright person dares to come out to rob, these robbers are too bold!"
Lin Yu grabbed Haikui's clothes and replied in a low voice: "We are far away from the capital here, the Tiangao Emperor is far away, the troops are insufficient, and this is a trade market town, so there are more robbers on the road."
Hai Kui said a little melancholy: "What can I do, we are still far from the capital, just the two of us, if we are unlucky, we have to take it." "Hai Kui doesn't think that next time he will be able to meet bandits who talk about morality like Liu Congtian.
The caravan was fast, and seeing that it ran out of more than thirty meters, the people in the grove were in a hurry, and they ran out of the two of them and chased after the caravan, Haikui was depressed, and saw a figure shaking, and hurriedly raised his eyes, and saw a fat and a thin person carrying a knife to chase the caravan.
The thin man is very tall, and the fat man is very low, just like the thin and fat head in the Lu Ding Ji described by Master Jin.
The people of the caravan looked in the direction of the grove as they ran, and when they saw that someone was chasing them, the leader shouted, and the remaining five people drew their swords and fought with the fat and thin two.
If Haikui guessed correctly, it is estimated that there are only these two people in the grove.
The sound of clanging weapons, and the sound of shouting, and the neighing of horses, were chaotic.
"Ah!", a living person fell, and then convulsed a few times, and hung up after a few groans, Lin Yu couldn't bear to look at it, closed his eyes and sat on the ground.
Haikui patted her gently, "Don't be afraid, there's me!"
Lin Yu closed his eyes and nodded.
The fight over there escalated directly to a white heat, with robbers on one side and caravan on the other, none of them seemed to be professional martial artists, there were no routines, they just slashed with knives, and both sides were painted in a few cases.
Although the robbers are fierce, they are invincible with two fists and four hands.
After a few rounds, although the caravan lay down two people, the robbers actually lay down one, and the big tall and thin man lay down!
Now there were three men left in the caravan - all of them were drawn, and Humpty Dumpty was also drawn.
The three members of the caravan gathered around their horses and began to fight with the fat man.
Haikui didn't need to look at it to know that the fat man was going to die under the other party's knife, and now that he has been surrounded by others, he can't see the front and the back.
In the next second, as Haikui expected, the fat man slashed at a person, hitting the person in the chest, but he was also stabbed by the person on the other side, and the back, also gave him a knife.
When Haikui thought that the caravan would survive the two of them, the fat man actually roared, slashed the person on the side with a diagonal swing, and then turned back like a mad dog.
The rest of the caravan turned to run in fright, but just as he hit the horse, the frightened horse lifted up and kicked him, directly two meters away, and began to twitch on the ground.
The fat man took two steps, became staggering, and fell down with a pop.
Then there were only the horses that kept swinging, and the horses were joined together, but there was no command, and they wanted to go that way, and the other wanted to run that way, and the last one didn't run.
