Chapter 116 Rushing
Chapter 116 Rushing
After saying this, Wen Shu turned around and walked down the slope without even looking at their reactions.
Xuan Yi followed closely behind...
"Boss, what should we do?"
"Can we go with you?"
"You two should just stay here and wait, and don't join in the fun. Besides, it's not appropriate for you to follow us in this state.
If you really go to a village, with your appearance, won't you scare the girls and young wives there?" Xuan Yi paused and kindly reminded them.
"Xuan Yi, we have to speed up our journey. Although those people have no horses and the road is difficult to travel at night, we have quite some time left. It's time to go." Wen Shu's two idiots followed Xuan Yi closely, pestering him so that he couldn't get away.
Wen Shu spoke, urging.
While she was talking, Wen Shu had already led the horse out of the woods.
Xuan Yi didn't know what he said to the two younger brothers behind him. The two of them finally stopped making noises and no longer asked to go with him.
—Policy——
——Policy——
Although traveling at night is not as fast as traveling during the day, it is a world of difference from walking. An hour later, the two were stopped at a fork in the road.
The man was tall and strong, and standing in front of Wen Shu was like a wall blocking her way.
"Who are you and why are you blocking our way?"
Wen Shu sat on the horse, pointed ahead with the reins in her hand and asked...
The man glanced at Xuanyi behind Wenshu, and then looked at Wenshu.
As if confirming her identity, he bowed his head and said, "Master
leader--"
Xuan Yi fell a few steps behind Wen Shu. Wen Shu stopped for a moment. Xuan Yi then noticed the situation in front of him. When he saw that it was him, he immediately dismounted.
He walked up to me and asked, "Why are you here? Where are the others?"
The man looked at Wen Shu, and when she nodded, he responded, "Reporting to the master, reporting to the boss. We were waiting outside the village shortly after Shitou and the others were discovered. I don't know if they had planned it in advance, or if they saw some movement in the village, so they took everyone away from the village as soon as it got dark."
As he said this, he looked at Wen Shu in front of him, hesitating whether he should say it or not.
Seeing this, Wen Shu said, "Just tell me what you want to say, pick out the important things to say, we can rush here, and Shitou has already told us what happened before."
"Ah, Shitou..." I don't know if he was feeling guilty, but he was hesitant when talking about those two brats.
"Are Shitou and the others okay?" the man asked with some concern.
"They are fine and safe. Now tell me, why are you waiting here? Where are they...?" Xuan Yi interrupted.
The man slapped his head and remembered the important matter and said, "When they left, we followed them from a distance. At the beginning, it was fortunate that they took the main road.
I don’t know what happened later, they didn’t take the right path, but bypassed the main road, crossed from the other side of the mountain, and took a small path.”
The man said this and pointed to the mountain behind him.
The clerk looked in the direction he pointed. The mountain was not high, but there were many low bushes inside and the road was uneven, so it was not easy to cross.
As luck would have it, passing through this mountain would be faster for people who walk on mountain roads for a long time than taking a big circle.
But, as luck would have it, Xiao Shitou's home was right at the foot of the mountain opposite this one.
"Where are the rest of you?"
Wen Shu asked.
The man replied truthfully, "We have arranged five or six people to stay at a key point on the mountain, fearing that they might change their route midway. The others have gone to the village on the other side of the mountain."
"I am on duty at this opening..."
"How long have you been there?" Wen Shu asked, trying to estimate the group's speed.
"About half an hour."
"Okay, go call the people on duty around here and tell them not to stand guard here. Now everyone hurry into the village." After Wen Shu gave the order, she rushed out on horseback without delay.
"Go quickly, the master's arrangement is only for her." After saying that, Xuan Yi also followed closely.
……
An hour later, Wen Shu rode her horse all the way into the village. Before she entered the village, she heard the sound of a boiling oil pan in the village.
"Where are you from? Who is your leader here? Come out and speak. What is your purpose in entering our village without permission?" Wen Shu heard Duan's scolding from a distance.
"Young man, listen to me, we are not bad people, we are good people. There were bandits causing trouble, and we followed our master's instructions to intercept them. But we didn't know that they played tricks and went into the mountains in front." The person who spoke was polite, and it was obvious that he also knew that this was their master's family and it would be difficult to take action.
Although they did not show up in front of their master, nor did they walk around outside openly, they have been scattered in the surrounding mountains since their master entered the area.
Although they did not enter here without permission, they were very familiar with the surrounding situation.
"Humph, who knows whether you are good or bad? Do good people have the word 'good' clearly written on their faces? Or do bad people have the word 'bad' clearly marked on their faces?
Do you really think I'm a three-year-old kid who can be teased by you guys so easily? "
Duan said angrily, then turned around and shouted behind him: "Brothers, everyone keep your eyes open, we must not let these guys set foot in our tribe!"
After hearing Duan's call, there was an immediate response from the crowd.
One of the young men, with a sturdy build and a resolute face, stepped forward and answered loudly, "Brother An, don't worry!
If they dare to break into the village, they must first ask the permission of this extremely sharp axe in my hand! "
After saying that, he swung the gleaming axe in his hand vigorously a few times, as if to show his determination to the other party.
However, at this moment, a slightly old but full-bodied voice slowly rang out from the depths of the crowd: "You young boys, after all, are still young and lack experience.
When something like this happens, how could it be your turn to rush to the front? No matter what, it should be us old guys who should take the lead! "As soon as the voice fell, a white-haired but energetic old man walked over steadily.
Although he is old, his steps are steady and powerful, and his eyes reveal a calmness and determination that comes from having experienced many vicissitudes of life.
Wen Shu glanced at Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi immediately understood and rode his horse through the crowd. When the group saw Xuan Yi, they immediately recognized him.
Watching the big horse come forward, it automatically made a path in the middle.
When they saw their boss riding a horse slowly towards them, they immediately became alert and turned a deaf ear to the young man who was shouting.
"What are you doing standing here? You're disturbing the villagers." Xuan Yi rode to the front, turned around and asked his men behind him.
"Boss, we just arrived here too. We explored along that ridge and found that the gentle slope of the ridge is just at the foot of the mountain opposite the river," a man stood up and replied.
Xuan Yi hadn't said anything yet. Duan was indeed a quick-talker. He was standing in front, and Wen Shu was riding a horse with a group of people on her back, blocking the way, so she didn't see it.
Seeing Xuan Yi, he thought that this group of people had brought some helpers, so he put his hands on his hips and replied, "Anyway, the mouth is on your body, you can say whatever you want.
Putting aside other things, we haven't had outsiders in Dujia Village for many years. You guys, who don't know where you came from, want to enter our Dujia Village. Who knows if you are the real one or the fake one?"
