Chapter 127: Missing
As early as when the old man in black flew into the camp with light skills, Shi Niu, Qin Damiang and He Tianshu wanted to get rid of the entanglement of their opponents and return to help Ou Yan, but the men in black had already found out their situation.
However, in addition to the life-and-death struggle, everyone was also eagerly looking at the situation on Ou Yan's side, the resistance of Changge and other female disciples, and the appearance of Zhang Xiaohua, the three of them also looked at it, but the old man in black had super strong internal strength, terrifying iron cloth kung fu, even if Shi Niu went up by himself, he might not be able to get a bargain, so the three of them, including the disciples of the villa, were all like ashes, I am afraid that these people in the villa today will be buried here, but the situation of Zuihou has undergone major changes, and there are actually ethereal factions and reinforcements coming, especially the loud voice of the bandit armor, which reawakened the idea of survival of everyone in Huanxi Villa, and everyone is fighting more and more bravelyThe Man in Black, on the other hand, changed his strategy and retreated as he fought, approaching the herd of horses outside the camp.
And the three black-clothed people who were fighting Shi Niu and others were also retreating, and when the old man in black used his light skills to chase Zhang Xiaohua, they all made a false move, withdrew from the circle, and jumped towards the herd of horses, if Shi Niu and others wanted to stay at this time, it would not be difficult, but the three main forces of the Ethereal faction were not in love with war, their task was to protect Ou Yan, and when they saw the opponent retreating, they did not chase after them, and immediately used light skills to rush to the old man in black, in the hearts of the three of them, the old man in black did not immediately shoot at first, but consumed their combat power, and the purpose was to capture Ou Yan alive, although they are still far from Ou Yan, it must be too late to save them, But if the three of them besiege the old man in black together, they may not be able to take Ou Yan over again, not to mention, the reinforcements will arrive soon, maybe it is the elder in the faction.
This was the wishful thinking of Aunt Qin and others, but just when they were still halfway through, they heard Qiu Tong shouting, and then they noticed the pale gold palm of the old man in black, and the three of them were shocked in their hearts, where did this old man want to capture Ou Yan alive, did this clearly want her life!
Then the pace of the three of them quickened a little, but how could such a distance pass in an instant? They could only watch the tragedy happen.
However, they guessed the beginning of the story, but not the end.
Until the old man in black collapsed to the ground, Zhang Xiaohua was shocked and flew in the air, and Ou Yan was shocked by the palm force and fainted, these all happened like lightning, and they didn't understand what happened, but they just knew that Ou Yan was saved!
When the three of them arrived at the scene, everything was over, Aunt Qin rushed forward to watch Ou Yan's injury with Qiu Tong, Shi Niu cautiously walked in front of the old man in black, looked at his body from a distance, and confirmed whether he was really dead, while He Tianshu looked for the direction of Zhang Xiaohua's shock and went to find Zhang Xiaohua.
At this time, the group of black-clothed people who were still alive had all returned to the horses, and they all turned over and got on their horses, and the people of Huanxi Villa did not chase, but they all stood in front of the camp with weapons in their hands.
The rain still fell non-stop, and the sound of the rain could not hide the sound of horses' hooves that were getting closer and closer, the three masters who disguised themselves as robbers and strongmen all saw the death of the old man in black, although they didn't understand what was going on, but the person was already dead, this is a fact, relying on them alone to go to Ou Yan's life, it was a very unrealistic thing, not to mention the ethereal reinforcements that were about to come, so the "big boss" After a little thought, he waved his hand, made a gesture, and galloped away in the other direction first, while the rest of the men in black ignored the corpses in the camp, and followed with their horses.
The crowd standing outside the camp with swords and swords couldn't help cheering when they saw the man in black leaving, and even many of them collapsed to the ground as soon as they let go, throwing their swords aside.
At the same time, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance finally came near, and the man on the horse, seeing the tent in the camp, hurriedly shouted: "But the brother of the Ethereal Sect?"
Isn't it the voice of Lan Dong I saw a few days ago?
Some disciples who knew Lan Dong also hurriedly responded: "Brother Lan, you are finally here, it is us." β
When Lan Dong heard the response, half of the big stone in his heart fell, he threw the stirrup and got off the horse, seeing everyone's embarrassment, his heart was tight again, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is the owner of Ou Zhuang?"
Everyone pointed to Ou Yan's location, and Lan Dong immediately ran over, ignoring the mud on the ground.
When Lan Dong arrived, Aunt Qin had already checked Ou Yan's pulse, Lan Dong saw Ou Yan with his eyes closed, his face was pale, and he asked urgently, "How is the owner's injury?"
Aunt Qin frowned and said: "My life should be fine, but the owner of the village is already weak, and now he has been injured by the old thief's palm, and he has suffered a lot of internal injuries, and it will take a long time to heal." β
Lan Dong listened, and his worried heart was put back into his stomach.
At this time, Shi Niu also walked over, and Aunt Qin asked suspiciously, "Is the old thief dead?"
The corners of Shi Niu's mouth curled, and he said: "It's dead, it's not fake, a sword pierces the throat, and you can't die anymore, well, and you can't be blind to death." β
Then he asked, "How is the owner?"
Aunt Qin said with a smile: "Thanks to Zhang Xiaohua for blocking this palm for the owner, Zuihou also slapped Zhang Xiaohua with a palm, the owner of the village just stood next to him and was implicated, it's okay, probably I will be able to wake up tomorrow." β
Shi Niu was surprised: "Can you wake up tomorrow?
Aunt Qin said: "Isn't this much stronger than we expected?"
Shi Niu also nodded and said, "That's right, thanks to Zhang Xiaohua." β
"Zhang Xiaohua?" Lan Dong wondered for a while, why hadn't he heard of this name, hearing this, his martial arts must be powerful, but there didn't seem to be this name among the uncles, could it be the elders in the faction? Could it be that the elders had already rushed to the front of him?
When Lan Dong was surprised, He Tianshu dragged his heavy steps from the darkness, rushed over, and shouted as he ran: "Zhang Xiaohua is gone, it is estimated that she fell into the river, hurry up and find the brother who understands water to look in the river." β
"What?!Zhang Xiaohua fell into the river?" Aunt Qin, Shi Niu, and Qiu Tong all exclaimed.
Ou Yan was swept by the palm of the old man in black, and he was already so seriously injured, but that little flower was really hit in the chest by the pale gold palm, what kind of serious injury was it.
And with such an injury, he fell into the turbulent river, Zhang Xiaohua, can he still ......
Thinking of this, everyone didn't dare to think about it, and Aunt Qin hurriedly said: "Shi Niu, you are looking for a brother in the villa who understands water, hurry up and look around." Lan Dong, you send some of the brothers who accompanied you to ride horses along the river to look for the little ones along the way or in the river. β
Shi Niu and Lan Dong were both ordered to get up, but Lan Dong took two steps, turned around again, and asked, "Hall Master Qin, I don't know what this little flower looks like?"
Aunt Qin then remembered, how could Lan Dong know about Zhang Xiaohua? Hurriedly said apologetically: "It's just a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, who was seriously injured, and he will know when he sees it." β
"Twelve or thirteen-year-old child?" Lan Dong felt dizzy for a while, and he was a little skeptical that Aunt Qin was wrong.
Seeing that Lan Dong was stunned, Sister Qin frowned and said, "It's just a teenager, why don't you go find it quickly." β
"Oh, Haode, we're going to send someone. Lan Dong woke up like a dream, and quickly got up to distribute people.
Aunt Qin and Qiu Tong carefully carried the unconscious Ou Yan back to the tent.
The rain was pouring down, the night was like ink, and there was endless darkness between heaven and earth.
It's already past the time, but the camp of Huanxi Villa is still noisy, just after the enemy attack, no one can guarantee that the enemy will not return again, and the disciples brought by Lan Dong are only a dozen, and they are all ordinary disciples, martial arts are ordinary, the man in black just hurriedly withdrew, on the one hand, because Lan Dong's arrival broke the advantage of their strength, they don't know how many people are supported by the Ethereal Sect, and on the other hand, the old man in black who is in charge of the overall situation is also the person most likely to capture Ou Yan, was killed by an inconspicuous teenager, which made Jihua who had been planning for many days be disrupted, and they had to retreatγ
If so, they figured out the current strength of the Ethereal Sect, and it was not possible to return immediately, so except for the injured disciples who returned to the tent to rest, the other disciples were still tightly heartstringed, and they were on guard all around.
Although the camp of Huanxi Villa is close to the river, it is already very unsafe, but in this dark night, the enemy may still be spying on it, and many factors have determined that it is not possible to move rashly for the time being, and only wait for the sky to brighten before making plans.
For the same reason, there are not many disciples who go to find Zhang Xiaohua.
In fact, all the disciples in the camp now already knew what had just happened, and they also knew that Zhang Xiaohua was not only saving Ou Yan alone, but also everyone in the entire camp. What is the martial arts of the old man in black, everyone can see it, even if Lan Dong rescued them in time, but more than a dozen of them are far from being the opponents of the old man in black, and everyone's fate is inevitably the same as Ou Yan, they are all killed in the palm of their hands.
They knew that Zhang Xiaohua was hit in the chest by the pale golden palm of the old man in black, and they already knew in their hearts that he would be killed on the spot nine times out of ten, even if there was still a breath, this seriously injured body was swept into the river, and only a little bit of life was extinguished.
They were also willing to go to the river and follow the river to look for it, but the river was turbulent, and Zhang Xiaohua did not know where she had been washed away, and besides, the sky and the earth were dark, and it was still pouring rain, and the torches were all extinguished.
At the beginning, He Tianshu shouted a few times in a loud voice, and several disciples also shouted, but suddenly, He Tianshu realized something, closed his mouth and stopped shouting, and at the same time stopped others from shouting, those disciples were very puzzled at first, and wanted to ask the reason, but looking at He Tianshu's tense face, he didn't dare to ask more, and then thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but secretly admire He Tianshu, he really deserves to be the captain, we shouted like this, didn't we let the man in black know his whereabouts? Captain He is really thoughtful.
How did He Tianshu know that his status in the minds of others had risen a lot all of a sudden, but he just blindly thought, alas, it was past the time of his son.
The disciples who went down the stream to find Zhang Xiaohua couldn't see much in the dark, and the safety of the camp was even more important, so after a while, they turned around, and He Tianshu saw them coming back, and he stopped looking, and beckoned the people in the river and Zhou Nearby to look for them, and returned to the camp together, full of gloom.
When He Tianshu returned to the tent in the center of the camp, Aunt Qin and Qiu Tong hurriedly greeted him, their faces full of eagerness, and asked, "Have you ever found it?"
He Tianshu shook his head silently.
Qiu Tong's tears flowed down, and her teeth bit her lips tightly.
Aunt Qin also muttered, "Poor child." β
And the crowd was silent.
After a while, He Tianshu asked, "Is the owner okay?"
Aunt Qin nodded and said, "Fortunately, nothing has changed, the specific situation will not be known until dawn and the doctor will see." β
He Tianshu said: "The owner of the village is safe, it is also Zhang Xiaohua's wish, I will go outside to guard first, in case this man in black comes back, it will be troublesome." β
After speaking, He Tianshu was about to walk out, and at this moment, Shi Niu came in from outside, saw He Tianshu there, and asked, "Haven't found it yet?"
He Tianshu said: "No." β
Shi Niu also sighed, turned his head to Aunt Qin and said, "That old thief, I have already checked it." β
Aunt Qin and He Tianshu's eyes lit up, and they asked in unison, "Who is it?"
Shi Niu shook his head and said, "This person has old wounds on his face, and his face has long been ruined, so I can't tell who it is." This light golden palm and iron cloth shirt are not extremely high-level martial arts, and there are not two hundred or one hundred who practice this martial art to his level in the rivers and lakes, and it is not easy to find. β
Aunt Qin nodded and said, "What about the other corpses?" Did you find any clues?"
Shi Niu still shook his head and said: "These people have been rigorously trained, they are all wearing ordinary night clothes, they don't have anything on them, and the weapons are all common in the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to find anything." β
Aunt Qin thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, keep these corpses and weapons and bring them back to the Ethereal Villa, we can't tell the difference, there are naturally experts in the faction to identify them, so leave these things to them." β
The stone ox answered and was about to go out.
At this time, Aunt Qin called him again and asked, "How did the old thief die?"
Hearing this question, He Tianshu also looked at Shi Niu eagerly, wanting to know the answer.
Shi Niu's face was a little strange, and he said, "The old thief has two wounds on his body, one is the left palm, which seems to have been penetrated by something, and the other is the throat, which seems to have been pierced by a sword, and the other is sealed by a sword. I don't know how Zhang Xiaohua did it, it was dark at that time, I didn't see it clearly, what about you?"
Aunt Qin shook her head, joke, it was dark like that, it was still raining, although when she had deep internal strength, she could see things secretly, but didn't she reach that level yet?
Shi Niu heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Then it can only be a mystery, this little flower is probably more auspicious." β
Alas, this guy is straightforward, and everyone is gloomy.
At this time, He Tianshu suddenly asked, "Senior Brother Shi, is the wound on the old thief's hand the same as a long sword, but narrower than an ordinary long sword?"
Shi Niu was stunned for a moment, not understanding that he was asking this, and nodded: "Yes." β
He Tianshu's eyes lit up, and he asked again: "Then, is the wound on the throat smaller than the wound of an ordinary long sword stab?"
Shi Niu seemed to understand a little and said, "Yes, Senior Brother He, what you said is very right, then what kind of weapons did these old thieves use to kill?"
He Tianshu smiled bitterly, when he bought a long sword, he gave a toy sword to Zhang Xiaohua and said it again, this matter is not to say, after saying it, everyone is even more confused, that toy sword has no edge and no point, how can it pierce the throat of the old man, how can it penetrate the palm of the old man? Don't forget, people can practice light gold palms and iron cloth shirts, even the long swords of female disciples like Changge cannot pierce the old man's body in the slightest, how did this little flower do it?
This is really a mystery.
It was finally dawn, but the rain showed no signs of stopping.
Under the vigilance of the disciples of the Ethereal Sect, the man in black never returned, and everyone unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and the difficult night that many disciples would never forget finally passed.
Ou Yan is still in a coma, but judging from the pulse, it is still very stable, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.
The owner of the village is in a coma, naturally it is Aunt Qin who commands everything, this camp can never stay any longer, and Ou Yan is like this, it is estimated that it is not possible to go south, and there is an unknown man in black hidden on the side, even if Ou Yan is in good health, Ou Peng, who is far away in Pingyang City, will definitely not agree to Ou Yan to go again. So, when the sky was slightly bright, Aunt Qin ordered to pack up the things in the camp and return quickly.
Naturally, the return trip can no longer take the old road, according to Lan Dong's guidance, Aunt Qin went to the nearest official road, re-planned the driving route back to Pingyang City, would rather go far than take the trail, would rather go slowly, but also stay in the town, moreover, Lan Dong also hurriedly reported the robbery and killing encountered by the convoy to the top, and asked to send more people to answer it.
Ou Yan woke up, it was already in the afternoon, the first thing she woke up was to ask Zhang Xiaohua about the situation, and after she listened to Aunt Qin's explanation, her heart was also gloomy, everyone's decision was not wrong, and now it is not realistic to divide people to find him, let's talk about it when we meet and send someone to come.
As for Aunt Qin's self-assertion to return to Pingyang City, Ou Yan didn't have much objection, he came out this time, Ou Peng didn't agree, he fought hard and hard, thinking that he was just a village owner, and there was no grudge against the rivers and lakes, what danger could there be?
But the cruel reality told her that people are harmless and hurtful, and anyone who survives in the rivers and lakes must not forget this cruel iron law of struggle at any time.
However, even if Ou Yan racked his brains, he couldn't remember whether he had offended the sacredness of that side.
