Chapter 14 The heart of the human heart is like an abyss
By the dawn of the second day, everyone had already gotten up, and the coachmen had buried the bonfire with sand, and a few darts with shovels and sacks had carefully dealt with the traces of the group's camp last night, that is, the nearby ruts and the hoof prints of donkeys and horses were swept away with branches as much as possible.
In the past few years, the world has been full of restless bandits, and if these inconspicuous traces of charcoal ash fall in the eyes of those who have a heart, not only can they know when they will camp here, but also the number of people and horses in their group can be roughly calculated. This kind of thing Xiao Yao and the others are commonplace, only the two little guys are extremely curious.
After putting the dart cart and the truck on the livestock, Xiao Yao and the others got on their mounts one after another, and took advantage of the cool weather in the morning to go on the road.
Seeing that I drove dozens of miles of footsteps non-stop for a day, but I went out of the boundary of Huaiqing and saw a large dense forest in sight, but this forest stretched very widely, and it happened to be on the avenue that took Huanglong Mountain.
Fang Changqi, the head of the dart, raised his face and looked at the sun in the sky, calculated the time for a while, and asked about the situation of the iron leg Zuo Si Chen.
I only heard this Zuo Sichen reply: "The forest in front of this is dense and chaotic for more than ten miles, and the direction is difficult to distinguish, and it is called ** by the locals." Ridge is stuck in the heavy mountains is the main road to and fro, originally we have to rely on the familiar local people to lead the way to unblocked, but a few years ago in order to facilitate the payment of taxes and silver tribute to the imperial court, the local government in Shanxi requisitioned thousands of people in this dense forest to open a road, although the death and injury of countless laborers and money but also to the porter business travel to provide a lot of convenience, but here the forest is dense and secluded, there are often bandits ambush and looting business travel, we have to pay more attention. ”
Fang Changqi nodded when he heard this, and sent his three fast darts to the forest to investigate the situation in the forest one step ahead of the convoy, while everyone slowly moved forward with the dart cart behind.
The three path-finding darts took the lead in galloping into the ** ridge along the official road here, and then everyone waited for a moment in front of the ** ridge, speaking of which, according to the size of the ** ridge forest, the previous three horses were about to go straight to a round trip should be almost.
Just when Xiao Yao and the others were impatient to secretly alert themselves to whether there was any change in the forest, the youngest of the three darts sent out to inquire about the situation before, surnamed Zhang, appeared on the edge of the forest on a horse, and made a pre-agreed gesture to Xiao Yao and the others to indicate that there was nothing abnormal in the forest, and then rode back into the forest.
Fang Changqi, the head of the dart, saw the appearance of this man surnamed Zhang, and finally let go of his tense nerves and breathed a sigh of relief, and with a wave of his hand, everyone escorted more than a dozen dart carts to ** Ridge.
Xiao Yao faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while, his experience in the rivers and lakes was still shallow, and it was only his own delusion. Just when everyone was about to enter the forest with a dart cart.
**A man with a knife suddenly rushed out of the edge of the Linglin, rushing in the direction of everyone, shouting: "Brothers of the Sanshan Dart Bureau, this **Ling can't enter, there is an ambush!!"
Xiao Yao was awakened by this person's cheers, and finally figured it out, he just felt that something was wrong with the dart head surnamed Zhang, this dart head surnamed Zhang was obviously riding a white horse when he was sent by the chief dart head Fang Changqi to explore the road, but when he was gesturing to everyone, he rode a flower horse, and the other two darts didn't see anyone and didn't say, why didn't the dart surnamed Zhang join everyone and entered the forest after exploring the road.
Thinking about the joints, Xiao Yao hurriedly slapped the horse and galloped a few steps, grabbed the reins of Fang Changqi's mount, and waved his hand to order the people behind to stop.
At this moment, I only heard the sound of swishing in the ** ridge, and a wave of wolf's tooth arrows shot at the people guarding the dart car like raindrops.
But said that the winged tiger Duan Sanshan tearfully accepted the silver taels of Xiao Yao and others, and the grain and grass of Heifeng Village could not be delayed, so he hurriedly took a few of his subordinates to other counties and counties to purchase grain and grass, and several people each rode horses and galloped for half a day without sticking, and walked out of a distance of more than 100 miles.
The winged tigers were not dragged by the dart cart, and they were all riding horses, although there was some delay earlier, but at this time, they walked in front of the group of the Sanshan Dart Bureau.
Seeing that the sun was sinking in the west, and the horse's fart under his crotch was already so tired that the corners of his mouth were salivating, Duan Sanshan knew that it was useless to be in a hurry at the moment, so he stopped the horses and chose a dense forest to rest, and the hillside forest they chose as a resting at this time happened to be dozens of miles northwest of the chaotic stone forest where everyone in the Sanshan Dart Bureau rested.
Duan Sanshan first arranged for two clever men to clean up the camp here, and he took another brother with good skills, and then went around in the forest to find some wild fruits or game meat, which could be used for dinner to satisfy his hunger.
Duan Sanshan has been wandering in the forest all year round, and after searching for a long time, he has a harvest, and he found a trace of a rabbit crawling through a few wild vegetables that had been eaten, and chased it down.
At this time, Sanshan was lying in a bush, motionless, staring at a large gray hare in the distance. If it is said that Duan Sanshan, the big boss of the Black Wind Village, in addition to a splashing wind knife that makes the tiger mighty, he has always been a master of * Zi to fight very well, otherwise the orphan tiger will not be like carrying a wooden slingshot all day long.
This kind of craft, but Duan Sanshan was practiced by stealing chickens and dogs when he was a child, and when he grew up, he was forced by the government to kill the official, but he learned to splash the wind knife in his hand, not to mention the kung fu of playing marble, but there is no Your Excellency over the years. I saw that he took out an iron slingshot from his bosom, took out a * from his bosom and pressed it on the holster, and his thumb and forefinger tightly pinched the holster and stretched the iron slingshot.
Although his hand is not a masterpiece, and he does not have many complicated tricks, he can occupy a big fight, and as long as he hits it, he will die on the spot.
Just as Duan Sanshan was lying in the grass and stretched out his iron slingshot and was about to let go of the bullet, a quick arrow shot at the hare from nowhere, but the arrow was accurate enough but it was a little worse, hitting a dead branch on the bush where the hare was hiding.
The hare was frightened and ran out, but Duan Sanshan hurriedly shrank his head and fell in place, only to see a man dressed in green clothes with a fierce face shouting and rushing out in one step towards the direction of the hare's running, Duan Sanshan saw at a glance that the bare arm of the man in green clothes was tattooed with a green ghost head, and he was shocked to know that this man was actually a thief from the ghost gate.
Duan Sanshan was wondering if the minions of this ghost gate were not good to stay in that ghost yin mountain to enjoy happiness, how could they have the leisure to go to this Huaiqing area to drill the forest and hunt hares. Suddenly, his mind moved, but he thought of the heavy dart goods kept by a group of people in the Sanshan Dart Bureau, and secretly screamed that it was not good, if he met Xiao Yao and others today, he would not be kind enough to be more involved in the right and wrong for people he didn't know, and now I have seen Xiao Yao and others so righteous, this divine fist Fang Changqi generously donated food and had a great favor in his Black Wind Village, he Duan Sanshan asked himself if he was a good man, and he had never lost his righteousness, since he met it, he had to help him, he figured out the joint, and quickly dived back to join a few of his subordinates.
Fortunately, there are few people on their side, this forest covers a large and dense area, except for the two men who take care of the camp, the other man who went to catch game was not bumped into by the minions of the ghost gate. Duan Sanshan hurriedly ordered a skilled Ma Li'er to ride a horse back to the Black Wind Village to gather all the men and horses first, and asked the other two brothers to bring all the money, take advantage of the night to copy the path and touch the forest, and rushed to the front town overnight to purchase grain and transport it back to the cottage.
But Duan Sanshan himself gave up his horses, and quietly touched the forest in a serpentine rat step, and it didn't take long to find a minion of the Ghost Gate, Duan Sanshan was also a well-known figure in Shanxi, and he also knew that this Ghost Gate Pass thief was very difficult to provoke, and he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, so he could only follow this person cautiously all the way.
This ghost gate gate who was embellished by Duan Sanshan was just a little minion and didn't have much ability, but he didn't find that Duan Sanshan quietly did his 'tail'. Cheap, Duan Sanshan followed this man all the way to the place where the thieves gathered in the Ghost Gate Pass, and found that there were hundreds of thieves in the Ghost Gate Pass gathered in this ** Ridge alone.
I saw that it was already twilight at this time, and these hundreds of thieves from the ghost gate did not light a fire to cook, nor were they busy settling down and resting the team. On the contrary, they each brought a lamp and divided into seven or eight teams, in the middle of this dense forest, the road near the left and back of the place to make the dust come and go, some with shovels to dig holes, some between the trees to pull the black oil steel cable, more to hide the sharp nail board and then sprinkle leaves to cover up, Duan Sanshan himself is also an expert in robbing the road of the road, where can I not see these people digging separately to arrange traps and traps, before he only guessed that this ghost gate pass is for the red goods of the Sanshan Dart Bureau, now it seems that there is no other possibility.
In this year, most of the masters who opened the mountains and set up cabinets were poor people who were forced to fall into the grass and become a poor man, and most of them gathered to cut the path and roar the mountains and forests in order to survive and eat, even if they were greedy and ambitious, most of them refused to do things too much, and always had to leave a little room for turnaround, but now he saw that this ghost gate was closed by a group of people, I am afraid that it is not as simple as making money, and it is clearly planned to kill the up and down of the three mountain dart bureaus and the coachman's picks before he is willing to stop.
The origin of this ghost gate is mysterious, and Duan Sanshan, the winged tiger, does not know the specific origin of these people, but only knows that it is a group of robbers entrenched in the ghost Yin Mountain, and the leaders of the leaders are very hard, and the minions are also extremely fierce and murderous.
On weekdays, when encountering this group of crazy people in the ghost gate, most of the cottages choose to avoid, but now the people of the Sanshan Dart Bureau who are kind to him Duan Sanshan Black Wind Village have to make the winged tiger hesitate, thinking about the thousands of displaced people in the Black Wind Village, and thinking of the young man who held the pear blossom point steel gun who spared his life before, and then thinking of the last few heartfelt words of the Divine Fist Fang Changqi, the eyes of the winged tiger Duan Sanshan gradually became firm.
