Chapter 61: There are thieves in the barren mountains

Chai Shaoning ran far away, and Song Yuanlan's cry was still vibrating in his ears. His heart was like a knife, so he had to recall the tragic appearance of his senior sister Lin Zhimei before her death over and over again, and use powerful revenge** to strengthen his steps forward.

It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky. But Chai Shaoning did not go south by boat like ordinary people and went out of Sichuan along the waterway. In doing so, firstly, it would be necessary to make a long detour, and secondly, it would definitely not be possible to avoid Murong Ding's people and horses set up on the main roads along the way.

Relying on the supreme light work, Chai Shaoning went straight to the east and climbed over the lofty mountains and mountains like a moat in Daba Mountain. On this day, the clouds and mist ahead, like entering the mysterious dream fairy mountain.

Chai Shaoning inquired and found out that he had entered the boundary of Shennongjia in Hubei.

Legend has it that the ancient medicine immortal Shennong once tasted a hundred herbs here, leaving a lot of anecdotes and legends, but Chai Shaoning had no interest in this, and just wanted to go over the mountain quickly.

However, at this time, it was getting late, and Chai Shaoning did walk a little dry, so he walked over to a hotel next to the mountain road to rest.

The hotels in the mountains are much more modest than the inns in the towns of the plains. A long room was built along the mountain road, but only a pole was erected in the open space in front of the door, and a gourd was chosen as a cover, and there was not even a yard.

In the middle of winter, although Hubei is located in the south, the climate is also extremely cold in the mountains.

Chai Shaoning took a breath of heating in his hand, went to the door of the main house in the middle, lifted the curtain and was just about to enter, when he saw many wooden boxes stacked on the ground in the house. A few men were sitting in a circle next to the wooden box and guarding it, looking like people with darts.

Seeing that Chai Shaoning was about to enter the house, one of the men hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said, "Brother, this shop has been taken over by our dart master, I hope my brother will bear with me." It's not too dark, brother, you take two steps closely, and not far to the south, there is another inn, and it's not too late for you to stay there. ”

Because his parents are also dart masters, Chai Shaoning naturally has a good impression of these dart players, knowing that the people in the dart game are afraid of accidents, and are often reluctant to share the store with strangers. So he nodded briskly and said, "Brother Xie Ren tell me!" put down the curtain and turned to leave the hotel.

Following the direction pointed out by the man, Chai Shaoning walked south for less than an hour, and when the sky was dark, he saw another inn next to the mountain road.

This inn is very similar to the previous one, and it is also carved out of the hillside, and a row of rooms is built next to the mountain road, and a long pole is planted in the open space in front of the main house in the middle, and a wine banner is hung on it.

The difference was that the open space on the slope of this inn was tighter than the previous one, so several more houses were built on the hillside of the hill behind the front row of houses, and the two rows of houses were connected by stone steps in between, and there was no yard around the house.

Chai Shaoning came to the door of the main house of this inn, and heard that there was a lot of noise inside, and there were really many people who wanted to come to eat and stay, and it was very lively. His heart, which had been cold for a few days, was not hot for any reason, so he took a step forward and opened the curtain to enter.

Who knew that as soon as he entered the door, Chai Shaoning's brows immediately furrowed.

It turned out that this big room was already full of people, and it seemed that they were all accomplices, and they were chatting vigorously with each other. The table in front of them, and the ground under their feet, were all in shambles, and the jars of wine that had been poured and the broken bones that had eaten the flesh were everywhere, and the whole room was filled with the smell of disgusting wine.

Chai Shaoning was not good at drinking, and he couldn't get used to the smell, so he instinctively raised his hand to cover his nose.

At this moment, a man suddenly stood up at a table in the back of the room. This man was extremely tall, but his body was a little too thin, and although he was wearing cotton clothes, he still looked too slender, and his whole body swayed like a snake when he stood there. A face does not protrude forward, but is concave in the opposite direction, and there is a pair of triangular eyes hidden in the starry pockmarked bushes, and the eyes are vicious, looking very terrifying.

As soon as this person stood up, he yelled at Chai Shaoning: "Where did you come from, wild boy, don't you get out of here for grandpa!" The voice was a little hoarse in the sharp, like the sound made when the throat suddenly burst, very ugly.

Chai Shaoning was suddenly furious, and as soon as he turned his head in the direction of the other party, more than a dozen big men immediately stood up next to the table in front of him, glaring at Chai Shaoning and scolding: "What, not convinced? This is polite to you." provoked our second master to start a fire, so that your kid didn't know how to die!"

If you open your mouth, you will threaten people's lives, where are these guests staying in the hotel? It is clearly a group of bandits.

When Chai Shaoning was wondering if he had accidentally broken into the thief's den, the curtain behind him was lifted, and an old man dressed as a shopkeeper came in.

When the old man entered the door, he bowed to the gang of fierce gods and evil spirits in front of him and said, "Grandpa, it was Lao Zhang's negligence that made people break in, so I will let him out." After speaking, he grabbed Chai Shaoning and walked out.

Chai Shaoning had a heart attack, and when he saw that Lao Zhang Chong looked at him, it seemed to be pleading, so he couldn't bear it, turned around and went out of the house with Lao Zhang.

Seeing that Chai Shaoning was soft, the gang snorted disdainfully and sat back.

At this time, Chai Shaoning suddenly heard someone whispering in the noise: "I arrived at Qingheyu in front, and that place is densely forested and sparsely populated..."

Chai Shaoning heard that his heart moved, and he couldn't help but slow down, and a hoarse voice suddenly came: "Why don't you hurry up?"

Lao Zhang in front was frightened, and pulled Chai Shaoning out of the house in a hurry.

dragged Chai Shaoning all the way to the platform in front of the back row house, Lao Zhang let go of his hand, opened the door of a room in the corner, lit a candle after entering, let Chai Shaoning sit down, and said apologetically: "Don't be surprised, the small shop is crowded today, please bear with me when you are slow." ”

Chai Shaoning saw that this old Zhang was a real person, and asked him tentatively, "Who are the people in the row house in front?"

"Shhhh ”

Chai Shaoning knew that he would not dare to say more if he asked this Lao Zhang again, so he nodded and sat down at the table in the room.

After a while, Lao Zhang really brought the food and told Chai Shaoning that he didn't need to call him after eating, he would come over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. After saying that, he hurriedly left again.

Chai Shaoning had already guessed at this time that the people in the front room must be helping the bandits, and most of the purpose of their trip was the darts in the small shop in front of them. Seeing that these thieves are so arrogant, they are obviously very sure about this robbery.

Although Chai Shaoning had no intention of meddling in his affairs, he couldn't sit back and let the thieves commit murder after all, thinking of this, he lost his appetite, so he put the chopsticks on the table casually, only hugged the teapot, and drank mouth-to-mouth.

When Lao Zhang came to serve the plates and bowls, he saw that the food on the table had barely moved, and asked in surprise, "Why didn't the guest officer eat it?"

Chai Shaoning said: "I think of an urgent matter, and I can't eat it." Can you please help me find a pen?"

When the pen and ink came, Chai Shaoning found a piece of cloth and wrote on it the words "Qingheyu, beware of thieves!"

Lao Zhang was illiterate, and he didn't expect Chai Shaoning to warn people, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and when he saw Chai Shaoning write, he took the pen and ink and went out.

Waiting for Lao Zhang to leave, Chai Shaoning cleaned up neatly and blew out the lamp and left the house.

At this time, it was dark, and the winter night was cloudy, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Chai Shaoning was about to leave, when a cold wind blew, mixed with the wild laughter of the thieves in the front row of houses.

Chai Shaoning's heart suddenly burst into flames, there are so many wicked people in the world, for some petty profits, killing people, doing all kinds of evil, didn't the senior sister Lin Zhimei and the second sister Xue Nianci all die in the hands of such evil thieves? As long as these thieves are all killed, won't those dart masters be fine?

Thinking of this, Chai Shaoning was full of pride, and strode towards the front row house.

If Lao Zhang knew what Chai Shaoning wanted to do at this time, he would inevitably be scared half to death, but Chai Shaoning was young and became angry for a while, but no matter what consequences this trouble would bring to the store?

Seeing that he had walked to the back door of the front row house, Chai Shaoning suddenly noticed that there was someone under the wall not far from the side of the door.

The man, dressed in a night suit, lay motionless behind a few bundles of firewood under the wall, not paying attention and thinking it was another bundle of firewood.

Chai Shaoning's internal strength at this time had reached the realm of hearing and distinguishing positions, and when the night eyes swept over, he immediately saw that the other party was slender and should be a woman.

"Who is it?" someone in the room heard Chai Shaoning's footsteps and asked.

The night walkers behind the wall only thought that Chai Shaoning was a group of thieves, and when they saw that their tracks were exposed, they rushed forward and pointed to the big hole on Chai Shaoning's chest.

Chai Shaoning suddenly understood that this woman was not a thief, and he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

Thinking of the scene when Song Yuanlan was ambushed under the wall of the teacher's backyard to hide from herself, Chai Shaoning felt like returning to yesterday. I don't know if she and her fourth sister Shangguan Rou have returned to Shanxi, what are they doing now?

The longer she left, the more Chai Shaoning missed Song Yuanlan in her heart, and for the first time she really regretted the hurt she had done when she parted. Can't you just leave the other way?

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a numb Tianchi acupoint on my chest. How similar is this to Song Yuanlan's original attempt to stop herself?

Chai Shaoning's heart was warm, and he also wanted to see what this woman wanted, so he pretended not to be able to support it, let go of the hand holding the sword, and fell backwards.

Seeing that the woman could do it, she stopped her waist and picked up Chai Shaoning and ran away.

The thieves in the house didn't pay much attention to Chai Shaoning's footsteps when they heard it first, and then the sound was suddenly urgent, as if there was a night walker running, realizing that something was wrong, he shouted and rushed out of the house, and saw that someone was captured in the dark, just thinking that his own person was captured, so he spread his body and chased after him from behind.

The woman who carried Chai Shaoning didn't look back, but just ran wildly, fortunately, the person on her shoulder was light and fluttering, and it didn't burden her at all. In her eagerness, this woman didn't think about it, how could the other party, a strong man, have no share?

"Stop!"

"Put people down!"

The shouting behind him was getting closer.
