Chapter 5: Shocking the Truth
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the snow began to fall again that night. The fifth master called the two of them to sit down, took out a bag that had been prepared and handed it to them, and said with a kind smile: "Here are dry food and silver, and a letter to the head of the dart, you can bring it, children, it's time to go!"
Yun couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, and through the contact in the past few days, he was full of admiration for this brave old man. Thinking that from now on, Yin and Yang may be separated and never see each other again, he choked up: "Fifth master, don't worry, even if I fight for my life, I will send Da Shao back to Hengcheng safely."
The old man touched his head and smiled, "You have to be careful yourself." ”
Jiang Yuan, who was crying next to him, suddenly fell to his knees with a pop, knocked his head three times, and couldn't cry. In the past few days, he has suffered in his heart, and he has a deep sense of guilt. Seeing that one by one the fresh lives lost their lives to protect themselves, now even this kind old man knew that he would die for his own safety, but he took his sons and daughters as bait without regrets, just to buy him some time to escape. He couldn't help but feel like a knife. Hatred, self-blame, and powerlessness made this originally squishy young master suddenly mature.
The old man pulled Jiang Yuan up, patted him on the shoulder, and admonished: "Be careful all the way! When I returned to Hengcheng, I saw your father and told him for me that the fifth child did his best and lived up to his instructions.
He turned to the cloud again and said, "Tell the chief dart head, don't avenge me, the other party is very strong, don't let the brothers take risks for me." Go ahead!"
Finally it was time to leave, Yun shook his head fiercely, leaving the sadness of parting behind, and pulled Jiang Dashao and rushed into the woods. Looking back from afar, I can still see the old man's rickety figure waving vigorously in the wind and snow.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be united, and the snow on the ground was knee-length, and as soon as the feet were pulled out, the subsequent wind swept the snowflakes and filled the footprints. It's hard to travel, but you don't have to worry too much about being tracked.
Yun rubbed his eyes that were red by the snow, and glanced at Jiang Yuan beside him, he couldn't see that this pampered young master had an extremely stoic temperament, and he could still keep up with his pace under such a big wind and snow. It seems that either the body is excellent or there is kung fu. I couldn't help but pull him and said, "Let's rest first, it's easy to get lost in such a big snowstorm." Let's find a place to recuperate, and then we'll leave at dawn. Jiang Yuan didn't speak, just nodded.
Yun found a leeward place and began to dig snow, and after a while, he dug a big hole in the frozen snow that was two feet long and wide, and after patting the surroundings, he pulled Jiang Yuan, who looked surprised, into it. Then he sealed the hole with the animal skin he carried with him, and pierced two small hollow bamboo pipes to the outside. Only then did he sit down side by side with Jiang Yuan: "Let's sleep first, hurry up and recover your strength, I'm afraid the road tomorrow will be more difficult." ”
Jiang Yuan nodded silently and seemed to be talking to himself: "Do you say that the fifth master can be safe?"
Yun Yun shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck!" According to what the fifth master said, the enemy is strong and has a plan, plus there are traitors in the dart team. It's not easy for you to hold on until now. ”
Jiang Yuantie blushed and said: "It's all my fault! If it weren't for my willful and reckless behavior, if I hadn't pestered my father to come out to relax, I wouldn't have let the fifth master and them be in a desperate situation." ”
"You can't be blamed for that, since you're being targeted by them, they'll do it wherever you are. And the fifth master, they are bodyguards, you are the employer, and they have the obligation to protect your safety. ”
"Ahem, don't comfort me, I know I hurt the fifth master. ”
"Don't think so," Yun advised, "no one wants this to happen." By the way, have you ever practiced kung fu? I don't think you're struggling to walk in such a snowstorm!"
"Oh, it's practiced a little. But I was lazy and didn't want to endure hardship, so I didn't practice the tricks of fighting with others. I only learned one set of escape skills, which is called nine changes in God. I was still forced to learn by my father. I didn't expect that there would be a day when I really needed to run for my life. After speaking, I couldn't help but sigh again.
Yun comforted him again, the two of them were indeed too tired, and they both fell asleep after a while.
I don't know how long I slept, but Yun was suddenly awakened by a nightmare. The old guy in the dream had a bloody face and kept asking himself why he didn't help him get revenge.
Yun shook his groggy head, feeling like he was pressing a big stone in his chest and couldn't breathe, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. immediately woke up Jiang Yuan: "Let's go out quickly, it should be the snow bar and the bamboo pipe is blocked." We have no air to breathe, and in a moment we will faint.
Jiang Yuangang, who was dazed, wanted to stand up, but was held down by Yun and sat back in place, because Yun suddenly found that there was someone not far from his head.
Years of solo hunting experience made Yun very alert, and as soon as he regained consciousness, he noticed through the vibration of the snow that someone was passing by a few feet away from him, and there was more than one person.
Who is it in such bad weather in the wilderness? And it sounds very light, and it is obviously a good figure.
It's a master! Yun waved his hand to signal Jiang Yuan not to make a sound, and slowly pulled out a bamboo tube. A cold wind immediately poured in, which made him suddenly shocked, so he leaned over and listened carefully to the movement outside. From the sound of breathing, he could tell that there were at least 20 people about two feet away from him, and they had stopped, thinking that they were also resting on this small leeward hill. Yun secretly rejoiced, thanks to the fact that he had dug deep enough, and it had snowed all night last night, so he had kept the exit tight. Now the wind is so strong outside that people can't open their eyes, or they would have been discovered.
Suddenly, the conversation between the two attracted his attention, and only one of the speakers complained in the voice of a male duck: "Big brother! Our brothers have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for so many years, when have we ever suffered so much!"
"Two words less can suffocate you to death!" The man known as Big Brother reprimanded.
The male duck laughed dryly: "Why don't I just talk to the eldest brother, the third master's people are too cowardly! ”
"Little dart team!" The big brother sneered: "That's a small half of the elite of the Four Seas Dart Bureau, especially that Ma Wu, who was a famous man in the rivers and lakes twenty years ago." I don't have a lot of work under me, people eat more salt than you eat, and you cross more bridges than you walk. Just a few people made the third master's people turn on their backs, and even the third master's personal guard of the four heavenly kings died two and two were seriously injured. More than fifty people came out, and only a dozen were left, and now they only dare to follow behind people's butts. Otherwise, they would not be in a hurry to ask the chief helm for help. You are all in good spirits, the second master can boast about the old gang leader, this time the matter is not done well, and no one will have good fruit to eat when he loses the face of the second master. ”
"Hehe, big brother is serious. The male duck said in a loud voice: "There is news from the dart team that Ma Wu is seriously injured and can no longer move." The rest of the dart masters are not enough for our brothers to stuff their teeth. Besides, I don't believe that people from all over the world are so ruthless, you see their total dart head, or what are the top ten, and they are also the number one master in the four seas. Seeing that our second master nodded like a minion, how many ruthless people can he have? The gang asked him for a few money, it was his creation, and he dared to push back and hinder, is it too long! When his son is kidnapped this time, let's make him cry and can't find the north. ”
"Don't underestimate that old boy from all over the world, he has been in the rivers and lakes for so long, and he is very familiar with people. It is said that he is also related to people in the imperial court. He slapped the second master with a whisker, firstly, he was afraid of the strength of our Sky Wolf Gang, and secondly, he wanted to borrow our hand to remove the thorn in his eye. ”
"What do you say? Big brother will tell us about it. The crowd came for a moment, and they all gathered around in high spirits.
The eldest brother said proudly: "You are still tender! I was deceived by the old guy's grandson, in fact, the old guy had already wanted to get rid of Ma Wu." Because many people in the Four Seas Dart Bureau serve Ma Wu and do not obey him, that Ma Wu is not only high in martial arts but also benevolent and righteous. And Hu Biao is narrow-minded, greedy and greedy, if it weren't for the fact that Sihai was founded by his father, he would have been ousted from the position of the head of the dart. This time, he was so enthusiastic and planted eyeliner and provided directions, didn't he just want to please us and get rid of the big trouble. ”
"Oh, that old guy wants to kill two birds with one stone. The group of people immediately became excited and scolded: "Didn't the eldest brother remind the second master not to fall for the old guy?"
"The second master is so shrewd, how can he not see it. The eldest brother said proudly: "Hu Biao is ruthless, and even the Da'an Chamber of Commerce, which has cooperated for decades, can betray it, and when he came out, he begged the second master to kill them all, and he didn't even let go of those few eyeliners." You say that the second master will really cooperate with him, let alone help him control Hengcheng, I estimate that the second master will have to deal with him after this time. ”
"Big brother is wise!" the people couldn't stop praising for a while.
"It's all rested, right? Hurry up when you're rested, there's news in front of you that Ma Wu's dart team will arrive at the ice field in two days at most. We hurriedly set up an ambush and went back as soon as we finished our work. This broke the weather and froze to death. The chief said. After a while, the group left, speeding westward.
