Chapter 14 Arrow
Li Zongliang carried Li Xiaoyao and rushed into the forest first. Wei Shuisheng and Li Erhuai followed closely and also entered the forest. More than a dozen officers and soldiers chased to the forest, stopped their footsteps, gathered together to discuss a few words, turned to look at the galloping riding, waiting for the leader.
Entering the forest, several people ran dozens of steps away and turned around a hill bag. Li Zongliang stopped walking. Li Zonggui gasped and said in a low voice, "I didn't chase it."
Li Zongliang slowed down a little, gasped and stopped, and sent Li Xiaoyao up. Li Zonggui also stopped his footsteps, holding his ears and listening to the movement outside the forest: "There are horses coming, five horses."
"Don't be afraid, horses can't run in this forest." Li Zongliang replied in a low voice. Outside the forest, several horses had rushed to the edge of the forest. The horse raised its front hoof high to stop the retreat. The little leader riding on the horse was about to speak with a whip, but heard a sad sound of breaking the air.
"We have to go quickly and take our steps lightly..." Wei Shuisheng's words were interrupted by the sound of broken arrows. Suddenly, his frightened face changed. He subconsciously rushed over and protected Li Zongliang with his body. Li Erhuai was so shocked that his mouth was half open and his eyes were wide open. He stayed there. Li Zonggui's ears moved and pointed Outside the forest, he couldn't speak.
The sad-breaking arrow flew out of the forest. A long carved arrow accurately shot into the throat of the small leader's neck, and still remained unabated. The blood splashed * The small-headed tie fell off the horse. The horse was shocked, straightened its front hooves and turned its head, and ran wildly back and forth. The little leader dragged one foot on the horse. In the middle, his head kept bouncing up and falling on the ground, and a thick blood line was dragged out by the horse.
Everyone outside the forest and in the forest was stunned. After they could react, there were several arrows. The four officers and soldiers riding on the horse fell under their horses, and the arrows only passed through their throats. More than a dozen officers and soldiers who stood still finally reacted. They didn't care about anything else. They rushed to turn around and run away. The sound of broken arrows sounded a few times, penetrated from behind and nailed several officers and soldiers who were screaming while fleeing obliquely to the ground.
Li Zongliang had put down Li Xiaoyao. The four people nervously held the weapon in their hands and stared at the direction of the arrow. Li Zongliang clenched the long gun in one hand and pushed Li Xiaoyao behind him. Wei Shuisheng held the long position in his hand. The gun, close to Li Zongliang, only felt that his hand was full of cold sweat. If this arrow shot at him, could he stop it? Li Erhuai was close to the other side of Li Zongliang, swallowed heavily, swallowed his saliva, and held a stick horizontally. If this was a cooked iron bar, it was designated to be able to block the arrow. As long as it was not blocked, Li Zonggui held a knife in his hand and covered Li Xiaoyao from behind. His ears moved slightly and listened to the direction of the arrow.
There was silence around. A bird flew over, stopped on the tree next to it, jumped a few times, and flew away with its loud wings. Li Zonggui was nervously hoarse and whispered, "It seems to be gone."
Li Erhuai was relieved, his legs were soft, and he fell to the ground. He raised his hand and wiped sweat and muttered, "My mother, where did this kill god come from! It scared me to death."
"Stop talking! Hurry up! You can't stay here for long!" Li Zongliang squatted down, put Li Xiaoyao on his back, and greeted everyone in a low voice:
"Wait a minute, I'll go and see the arrows." Wei Shuisheng whispered. Li Zongliang thought for a moment and put down Li Xiaoyao: "Well, it's good to go and have a look. I also know in my heart that Erhuai and Guizi are guarding the younger sister here." With that, Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng held a gun and jumped to the edge of the forest in a few steps. Li Zongliang held the gun and was alert around. Wei Shuisheng squatted down and looked at it for a moment, stood up, signaling Li Zongliang. The two ran back without saying anything. Li Xiaoyao stuffed the clothes and bags wrapped in cakes into Li Zonggui and threw them on Li Zongliang's back. Li Zonggui and Li Erhuai walked in front. After Wei Shuisheng broke off, the group rushed to the east.
When the sky was full of stars, several people finally walked out of the forest, stood in the wilderness, looked back at the dark forest, and took a long breath. Along the way, in addition to Li Xiaoyao, who was lying on Li Zongliang's back and slept soundly, the four of them were afraid. Who knows what kind of beasts the forest is born, even if Wild dogs, there are really ten or eight dogs. In such a night, in such a strange forest, it is also a very pestering thing!
The four people took a short break, took a breath, and did not dare to walk on the post road. They did not even dare to walk on the larger road. They only picked up a remote path and followed the guidance of the starlight and galloped all the way to the east.
After walking for more than an hour, Li Zonggui looked back at Li Zongliang with a tired face and whispered, "Brother, take a break. I can't stand it."
"Hmm." Li Zongliang agreed and turned around and called Li Xiaoyao, "Little sister, wake up."
"I'm awake." Li Xiaoyao buried her head in Li Zongliang's shoulder and promised that she woke up when she came out of the forest. Wei Shuisheng found a high/gao, turned around, pointed to a stream not far away and suggested, "Go there to rest. First, there is a low-lying back wind, and secondly, there is water." The four people ran to the stream and sat down. There was a long cry in Li Erhuai's stomach. Li Xiaoyao smiled with his eyes bent and pointed to the jacket in his arms: "Brother Erhuai, the clothes are the cakes I bought for you."
Li Erhuai was overjoyed and didn't have time to speak. He hurriedly pulled his clothes to find Hu cakes. Wei Shuisheng, who was washing his face with water by the stream, turned around and said with a smile on his face, "The little one is still thoughtful. I'm too hungry and can't stand it."
Li Erhuai pulled off the jacket, broke the hemp rope, and pulled out a cake. He was about to bite down, but he remembered it again. He smiled and handed the cake in his hand to Li Zongliang: "Brother, give it! What a delicious walnut cake! You eat first!"
Li Zongliang took the cake with a smile. Seeing Li Xiaoyao waving his hand, he handed the cake to Li Zonggui. Li Erhuai handed another one to Li Zongliang. Wei Shuisheng had washed it back, shook the water on his hand, and smiled and let Li Erhuai: "Eat it quickly. I'll take it myself."
"The younger sister?"
"Brother Erhuai, eat it by yourself. I'm so thirsty. Drink some water before eating." Li Xiaoyao moved his hands and feet and walked around the stream. While looking for a place that was clean and close to the stream, he replied without looking back. Li Erhuai didn't have time to speak any more. He picked up a beard cake, bit it down fiercely, and chewed it loudly. Li Xiaoxiao squatted by the stream and held the clear stream full of stars. After drinking more than a dozen sips of water in a row, I felt comfortable. Then I lifted the water and washed my face carefully. Then I went back to sit next to Li Zongliang, shook off my hand, took a small piece of beard cake, and ate it with a small bite.
"The younger sister is so awesome that she will never forget to bring food." Li Erhuai swallowed a walnut cake in three mouthfuls, squatted two steps to the side of the stream, bent down, put his mouth on the water and drank a few sips of water. When he came back, he took another walnut cake. While biting it, he vaguely praised Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyu glanced at him depressedly by his praise and politely replied, "Brother Erhuai also Yes, I can't forget to eat at any time.
"Well, that's true! I haven't forgotten this. At noon, I thought about taking a few steamed buns in the camp. Who knows..." Li Erhuai burped, straightened his neck, and then said, "I didn't have enough to eat at noon."
Li Zongliang seemed to remember something, bit the cake, turned his head and looked at Wei Shuisheng. Wei Shuisheng swallowed the cake in his mouth and whispered, "It's an iron-bone cone arrow, a killing target, all in the throat, which is extremely fierce."
"What's the way this man is? It seems to be helping us." Li Zonggui turned his head and looked at Li Zongliang and said. Li Zongliang frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and shook his head: "How do we know such a powerful archer? It seems that his skills are also excellent. Except for the sound of arrows, we haven't heard anything else.
"Well, I must be very good at it. I only heard a little sound. On the tree where the bow string sounded, the leaves sounded a little anxious, as if a person was walking. The bow string sound was also surprisingly soft and I couldn't hear it at all. He was a tall man!" Li Zonggui judged, and a very strange feeling suddenly surged in Li Xiaoyao's heart. He quickly turned his head and looked around and muttered in a low voice, "Let what Brother Guizi said is strange and scary. Fortunately, such a powerful person is not difficult for us. Wouldn't it be bad if he is a fortune-seeking and murderer?"
Wei Shui subconsciously turned his head and looked around with Li Xiaoyao and laughed: "How much money does Xiaoyao have? Can such a master make money and kill you?"
Li Xiaoyao smiled and bit the cake and did not answer. Li Zongliang finished eating the cake, clapped his hands and looked up at the starry sky: "It's almost around the beginning of Yin. Take a break. Let's go at dawn."
Several people looked for a place to shelter from the wind. Wei Shuisheng guarded their heads, and the remaining few people squeezed into one place and almost fell asleep. Wei Shuisheng stood up, walked back and forth, watching the movement around him vigilantly.
As soon as the day was dawn, Li Zongliang, who was guarding the last post, woke everyone up. Several people washed a little by the stream, ate with Hu cakes, and continued to drive east. Li Xiaoyao didn't let Li Zongliang carry it again. He bit the cake and followed everyone on his way.
This is not far from Taiping Mansion. Along the way, several people naturally did not dare to go to places where there were people. They only picked up a remote path. Li Xiaoyao didn't walk much and lay on Li Zongliang's back again.
We rushed for another day. When it was almost dark, he rushed outside a small city. Li Erhuai looked at the wall and grinned and shouted, "We have been on this night. It's not to mention that we are 100 miles away from Taiping Mansion. At night, we will go to the city to have a hot meal and have a good sleep!"
