Chapter 3 Xining Mountain

After eating, the two went out, led the horses and continued south, and there happened to be a small forest in front of them, and remembered that they had not fed the horses fodder at noon, so they planned to let them gnaw some grass in the forest, so they let them go in.

I didn't think about it as soon as I entered the woods, but I noticed a moaning sound.

"What a pair of dogs and men are fooling around in the daytime!" said the mustache with hatred and jealousy.

Liu Ping'an listened carefully and said, "No, it's the sound of someone being injured." ”

So the two of them walked in quickly, but they saw a man lying under a tree, his clothes all stained red with blood, and he was moaning in a low voice. After a closer look, I found that it was the man who was touched and wrapped in the restaurant at noon today, Liu Ping'an looked around, and saw no trace of the woman, but the ground was messy, obviously after a fight.

The man looked very scary, and an examination found that there were two injuries in total, the left leg bone was obviously broken, and the abdomen was also stabbed. There was nothing left with him, including the weapons he was carrying.

Liu Ping'an and the mustache hurriedly found a branch to cut it into a guard, helped him fix his legs, and used Jinchuang medicine to help him wrap his stomach. As soon as the man came to his senses, he immediately begged: "I beg the two heroes to save my wife, they were captured by a few bandits!"

After careful inquiry, it turned out that this man's name was Ma Wenbin, and he knew a little martial arts, but he only had about nine grades of cultivation. Just now they found out from the restaurant that the package was stolen and chased out, very lucky to find a few thieves who stole the package, so they chased all the way to this small forest, just now the hatred of humiliating his wife and the hatred of stealing the package, Ma Wenbin wanted to use martial arts to knock over the other party, but I didn't expect that the other party was not a pure gangster, and also practiced a little kung fu, although not as good as Ma Wenbin, but in the siege of four or five people, Ma Wenbin was still defeated, and was robbed of the weapon by the other party and stabbed a sword back.

The other party also plundered Ma Wenbin's wife Li Chunlan, saying that he would take it to the boss to be the wife of the village. Before leaving, I was afraid that Ma Wenbin would chase after him and break his leg again.

Fortunately, the other party did not kill anyone, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. It turned out that there was a follow-up to the play in the restaurant just now, which was really unexpected.

"Then do you know where they took your wife?" asked Liu Ping'an.

"I vaguely heard them mention Xining Village, but I haven't heard of this place. Ma Wenbin's face was sad.

Although Li Chunlan was captured by the thieves, it was too late to chase after her, so let's take the wounded to a safe place first. So the two took Ma Wenbin back to the inn they rented in the town, and asked the innkeeper if there was a place called Xining Village.

When the innkeeper heard this, he immediately said: "Xining Peak is the highest mountain we have here, and there is a strongman village on the top of the mountain called Xining Village." The boss looked helpless when he said this, because he didn't know whether Liu Hu and the others were friends or enemies of Xining Village, so they didn't make too much evaluation.

After finishing speaking, the boss also deliberately went out to the side and pointed to the two of them, and sure enough, there was a mountain range extending from west to east, and the highest mountain was called Xining Peak.

Liu Ping'an asked the mustache in a consultative tone, "We don't care about this matter?" If Liu Ping'an was the only one, he could decide directly, but they were a two-person team, and they must decide together if something happened.

The mustache looked uneven, and said loudly: "Definitely manage, it is the style of our people in the rivers and lakes to draw a knife to help each other when the road is uneven, how can you not save it when you see death." ”

So the two of them ran all the way to Xining Village, because it was on the mountain, they were not ready to enter the main gate, so they did not ride horses in order to hide, but fostered in the inn.

Xining Mountain seemed to be not far away, but Wangshan ran a dead horse, and the two of them did not walk to the bottom of the mountain until evening. At the foot of the mountain, there was a sheep intestine path that went straight to the top of the mountain, and the mustache wanted to step into this road without hesitation, but Liu Ping'an grabbed him, and instead turned around and got into a bush not far away.

Such a cottage that has existed for many years will definitely not be able to let people in so easily, not to mention that Liu Ping'an has a gut feeling that there must be a checkpoint here, but he hasn't found it yet. The mustache immediately understood Liu Ping'an's thoughts, and he also followed in, and both of them changed into gray clothes, and disappeared into the mountain forest.

Liu Ping'an has lived on Huashan for ten years, although this Xining Mountain is steep, but it is still a lot worse than Huashan, so Liu Ping'an comes and goes freely in this mountain, but he does not dare to go too far from the path, mainly for fear of getting lost. During the process of going up the mountain, Liu Ping'an found at least three checkpoints, all of which were in some hidden bushes or trees.

Both of them went up the mountain very fast, and the mustache seemed to have a lot of experience. But after all, it is a shuttle in this kind of woods, there are many thorns and strange rocks on the road, and you can't take the main road, and the physical exertion is also very great. So after climbing for a while, I also sat under a bush to rest.

The mustache didn't know where he had touched a wild fruit, so he rubbed it casually and took a bite of it, and scolded casually: "Fortunately, I was punished by the master to climb the mountain in Songshan, but now the technique is a little degraded, and I still have to rest after climbing such a little road." ”

"Can you eat this fruit?" Liu Ping'an was also a little hungry, and the two of them came out after lunch, forgetting to bring dry food.

The mustache handed another one to Liu Ping'an and said, "It's a little astringent, but it's not poisonous." "He practiced the five poisons chasing sand palms, and he was not afraid of ordinary poisons, so he could eat them boldly with confidence, and Liu Ping'an would not dare to eat until he had eaten them.

The taste of wild fruits is really good, and the mouth is full of bitterness, but some of them are good to eat. Liu Ping'an said to the mustache: "We just climbed up like this, and I guess we won't be able to save people." ”

"What are you afraid of, is there a master in such a small village?" The mustache didn't care, and besides, he couldn't just pick up soft persimmons and bully.

Liu Ping'an thought for a moment, and then explained: "Those thieves set off a little earlier than us, and they didn't know that there were people chasing after them, so they would definitely not be very fast if they were not in a hurry." We sent Ma Wenbin to the inn and came out immediately, and then we ran all the way on the road, and we must still be in front of them. If they just rushed to the cottage, maybe they hadn't come back yet. ”

The mustache thought for a while, and thought so, so he said, "Then we are waiting here, it is best to wait for them, and if you can't wait for the middle of the night to go up the mountain, it will be more hidden." ”

So the two of them rested against the roots in the bushes. The mountain was very humid this season, and it was very uncomfortable to sit on, and the stomach was a little hungry, so the two of them secretly found some fruit nearby, and cut a large handful of leaves to put on the ground.

This era is good, a lot of wild fruits on the mountain can be picked and eaten, as long as you are not afraid of poisoning. However, there was a humanoid poison tester beside him, so Liu Ping'an was very relieved.
