Ye Ying shuttled along the mountain road at the fastest speed, and he breathed a sigh of relief until he could no longer see the cave.

Because he was worried that the bandits would wake up, Ye Ying did not dare to stay longer in the mountains. He chose a remote road and ran down the mountain quickly. Only when he found his masters or met the searching officers and soldiers would he be completely safe.

.

Ye Ying grew up here and was very familiar with the terrain in the mountains. In less than two hours, he had reached the edge of the mountainous area and was only half an hour away from the small mountain village where he lived.

But at this moment, Ye Ying heard some noises, as if they were voices. Could it be that the bandits were catching up? He was startled and quickly found a hidden bush to hide.

The sound is getting closer and closer, and now Ye Ying can hear it very clearly. Someone is indeed talking, and he can even hear their footsteps clearly. Judging from the footsteps, there are quite a few of these people, at least three to five.

ten people.

In order to avoid being discovered by these people, Ye Ying quickly adjusted his breath and kept his body motionless to prevent himself from making any sound.

These people were very close to Ye Ying, and he could hear what they said clearly, and one of the voices sounded familiar to Ye Ying. He felt like he had heard it somewhere before.

Through the gap in the bushes, Ye Ying finally saw the approaching figure clearly, and his mood suddenly improved.

It turned out that the group of people who appeared not far away from him were all wearing the armor of Daning soldiers. They seemed to be officers and soldiers who had been ordered to search the mountain. Taking a closer look, Ye Ying was completely relieved, because the leading general happened to be

I knew that it was Liu Chuan, the commander of the cavalry battalion who came to Kaoshan County with Chen Zhi that day.

Next to Liu Chuan, Ye Ying also saw two acquaintances. They were both villagers from his mountain village. They seemed to have been invited by Liu Chuan to serve as guides.

At this time, Liu Chuan was obviously not in a good mood. He personally led his men to search the mountains for several days, and was exhausted. However, he did not find a single bandit who slipped through the net.

A figure suddenly emerged from the bushes ahead, which startled Liu Chuan. When he saw the figure clearly, he laughed again, because it was Ye Ying who came out.

"So it's you kid, why are you hiding in the grass?" Ye Ying's behavior that day left a good impression on Liu Chuan, so when he saw Ye Ying, he suddenly became happy.

"It turns out to be Mr. Liu. It's great to meet you. It seems that none of these bandits can escape." Even though Ye Ying has a very calm personality, he is also a little excited at this time.

Next, Ye Ying hurriedly told Liu Chuan about his encounter with the bandits, their current situation, and their location.

Ye Ying left home for a day and did not return. The masters would definitely be worried about themselves. If a guide followed Liu Chuan, they would be able to find the location of the bandits. So Ye Ying did not act with Liu Chuan, but went to the small courtyard where he lived.

And go.

"Why are you coming back now?" When Ye Ying returned to the small courtyard, there was only the second master at home. After seeing Ye Ying, he just asked lightly. Ye Ying, who knew the second master, could still tell from his plain tone

Concern could be heard in it.

The second master was usually very serious and he was the one whom Ye Ying respected the most. When he asked about it, Ye Ying told the second master exactly what he had experienced in the past two days.

During the conversation, Ye Ying found out that he had not returned for two days, and both the Sixth Master and the Ninth Master had actually gone to the mountains to look for him.

Ye Ying was very touched by the actions of several masters, but at the same time, the doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper. After two years of getting along with him, he didn't even know the names of the three masters. In the fight with the bandits a few days ago,

He deeply felt the extraordinary skills of several masters.

But such a master is willing to stay in a remote mountain village and carefully teach an orphan like himself.

Ye Ying suffered a lot when he was young, which made Ye Ying's personality very calm. He didn't chase after several masters to find out the truth like other children, but as he grew older, he became more and more aware.

I feel that this matter is not simple.

In the afternoon, the Sixth Master and the Ninth Master came back one after another. The personalities of these two people were much more exposed than the Second Master. When they saw that he was safe and sound, their expressions of joy were clearly visible.

"You kid, I asked you to go to the mountains to collect herbs, but you went wild, causing me to be scolded by these two guys." Master Six held Ye Ying's face and rubbed it twice.

Master Ninth said nothing and directly held Ye Ying's thin body in his arms. His eyes were actually a little moist.

Under the questioning of the two masters, Ye Ying had to tell the two of them his experiences over the past two days.

The Sixth Master talked the most and asked detailed questions about some details. The other two didn't say anything but listened carefully.

"These northern barbarian thieves have been honest for more than ten years, and it seems they are starting to make trouble again." After asking the question, the sixth master said angrily, and the three of them fell into silence at the same time.

From the expressions of the three masters, it was not difficult for Ye Ying to see that these three relatives, who had been with him day and night for more than two years, had an unforgettable hatred for the Northern Barbarians.

On the hillside behind Ye Ying's village, there is a small wooden house. There is a fence around the outside of the wooden house. Some vegetables are grown inside the fence, and some chickens and ducks are raised.

This wooden house was built two years ago. The owner of the wooden house is a fat aunt who calls herself Chu. Most people in the village call her Aunt Chu.

Aunt Chu suddenly appeared in the small village two years ago. She claimed to have escaped from another place. The villagers in the mountain village were very simple. Not only did they not blame her for living behind the village, they also tried their best to give her some help and let her

I soon settled here.

Because he is a migrant, Aunt Chu has few friends in the village, and the place where he lives is quite far from the village, almost reaching the mountainside, so almost no villagers come to her house on weekdays.

However, there is one frequent visitor to Aunt Chu's courtyard, and that is Ye Ying.

It was already the third day since Ye Ying appeared outside Aunt Chu's courtyard. During these three days, Ye Ying received good news. Liu Chuan and others moved Hu Tianxiong to the location indicated by Ye Ying.

Everyone caught them.

For this reason, two officers and soldiers came to the small courtyard where Ye Ying lived and brought some things to Ye Ying, saying they were rewards given to him by Chen Zhi.

Ye Ying came to Aunt Chu's courtyard with only one purpose, which was to take away a chicken or duck from Aunt Chu's courtyard and hide in the mountains for a tooth sacrifice. Why did he behave like this? Because Master Six

Tell her that the chicken here is very special and eating it can improve your kung fu.

Even the second master, who was always strict, adopted a tacit attitude towards this matter, allowing Ye Ying to become a "little thief" who stole chickens and ducks without any psychological burden.

There was still a long way to go to Aunt Chu's courtyard, so Ye Ying stopped, climbed up a big tree on the side of the road, hid in the canopy of the big tree, and looked at the scene in the courtyard.

Aunt Chu’s family raises a lot of chickens and ducks. According to Master Six, who is proficient in medical skills, her chickens and ducks are fed many precious medicinal materials every day, so the meat of these chickens and ducks has become a treasure, which is very valuable to warriors who practice internal strength.

repair.

Master Six told Ye Ying that the chickens and ducks here were of great help to the "Zhi Mu Heart Sutra" practiced by Ye Ying, who practiced internal strength. With the encouragement of Master Six, Ye Ying would come here if he had the opportunity.

, get one to try.

Strangely enough, since eating the chickens and ducks raised by Aunt Chu, my internal strength has indeed increased much faster, and my body has become much stronger.

No, Aunt Chu's chickens and ducks are not that easy to handle. Even though she is very fat, her movements are not clumsy at all.

In the past two years, Ye Ying has "stealed chickens" here many times. Most of the time, he will return empty-handed and suffer a lot.

However, as his skills continued to increase and his experience became richer, Ye Ying succeeded more often than before.

The big tree where Ye Ying is located is in a very good position. Hiding in the tree, Ye Ying can see Aunt Chu's yard clearly.

In the center of Aunt Chu's yard, there is a "hill", but this hill is not made of earth and stone, but a moving human-shaped mountain.

This moving mountain of people is Aunt Chu, the owner of the small courtyard. At this time, she is dragging her bloated body. She is feeding chickens and ducks in the courtyard, but the food she feeds the chickens and ducks is not what ordinary people use.

Instead of grains and wheat, they were some medicinal materials, with some unknown insects mixed in.

Ye Ying hid in the big tree and quietly watched Aunt Chu's body walking back and forth in the courtyard. He was not anxious at all. His many "stealing chickens" made him understand the principle that haste makes waste.

.

Aunt Chu, who was feeding chickens in the distance, suddenly raised her head and glanced at Ye Ying's position, which startled Ye Ying. Fortunately, Aunt Chu didn't seem to notice Ye Ying, so she looked up

After one glance, he began to focus on the chickens and ducks again.

After waiting patiently for a cup of tea, Aunt Chu's plump body finally walked into the wooden house. However, Ye Ying was not in a hurry to get down from the tree and start taking action, because he had such an experience in the past, and he was caught red-handed.

.

Since entering the middle realm of a first-level warrior, Ye Ying's eyesight has improved greatly. Although the distance is still dozens of meters, he can still see the scene in the courtyard clearly.

In the small courtyard surrounded by wooden fences, the chickens and ducks with their bellies full are leisurely and contentedly living their leisure life in the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a good-looking rooster is pacing and patrolling his territory leisurely. He is the king of the courtyard, and most of the hens in the courtyard are his "concubines."

Many hens walked around the rooster, and some hens even walked up to the rooster and spread their feathers, as if to show their beautiful faces to their husbands and attract his attention.

But this big rooster was indeed extremely proud. It ignored many "concubines" who approached it and passed by them without looking sideways. The hens had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

The fully fed and drunk rooster was obviously at its most energetic at this time. After patrolling his territory, he was finally moved by the "beauty" of a "concubine".

The rooster trotted over, caught the hen that was not far away from him, quickly sat on its back, and began to perform primitive movements.

The other hens not far away seemed a little disappointed. They began to cry "clucking" and quickly scattered in every corner of the yard.

There was a very good-looking hen that slowly walked to the corner of the yard, which was right against the edge of the wooden fence, which happened to be the blind spot of the wooden house.

Looking at the hen burying its head in the grass, looking for various small bugs, Ye Ying knew that now was a good opportunity to do it himself.

The thin body quickly slipped down from the tree and swept towards the small courtyard as fast as possible.

Ye Ying was very confident in his speed and skill. When the hen had no time to react, he could grab it by the neck from outside the fence as quickly as possible and drag the hen before it could make any sound.

Get out of the fence.

At this time, the leaf hawk was only a few steps away from the hen in the corner of the fence, but the hen still hadn't been found and was still searching carefully in the grass.

This situation made Ye Ying very happy. Today's operation was extremely smooth, and he would be able to feast on his food later. You know, these chickens and ducks fed with special herbs taste extremely delicious.

The second master taught Ye Ying a set of body movements, and Ye Ying had already practiced it very skillfully. Almost in the blink of an eye, he had appeared behind the hen, and his right hand struck at the hen's neck like lightning.
Chapter completed!
