Wu Ming, who was eager to save people, rushed across the three-way intersection and finally saw a dilapidated land temple under a big tree more than a hundred meters ahead of the right fork. After observing for a while, he calmed down instead.

Wu Ming clearly saw that the left wheel of the mule cart had slid into the ditch at the intersection of the ruined temple road. The pack horse that pulled the cart had not been untied yet, and it was steaming all over, and it was raised from time to time to rush to Hula.

In the cold wind and drizzle, the woman's helpless crying screams came faintly. Wu Ming jumped out of the ridge of the roadside field in a hurry, bent down and turned quickly to the back of the ruined temple. As soon as he stabilized his body, he heard a loud slap in the rude curse. The delicate cry suddenly rose, followed by a dull fall.

Wu Ming jumped onto the high ridge, and his hands and feet were separated by the dense weeds. He walked rapidly for more than ten meters to touch the broken window on the side of the temple. He took a deep breath and squatted up slowly, poked out half of his head to observe carefully.

In the narrow temple, crying and breathing were rapid. The officer called the fourth brother was slapped by the woman and was angry. He rudely threw the struggling woman onto the dusty altar, stretched out his big hand to pinch the woman's neck, and savagely tore the woman's clothes with her other hand.

Three or four meters away from the altar, the unconscious little maid was lying on the ground. Her little cotton jacket had been untied, her floral clothes were torn apart, and her red bellyband was removed and her white and tender body was fully visible.

The tall and thin soldier looked at the busy fourth brother, smiling and unbuttoned the belt around his waist.

Wu Ming left the window, hugged his waist and rushed to the front door. On the way, he picked up a stone as big as a sea bowl, and stood beside the door frame and leaned against the wall. He slowly stretched his head and looked at the two soldiers in the house who had untied their trousers. Suddenly, he ran into it like crazy, and waved the stone and hit the back of the officer's head.

After the muffled sound, blood splattered, and the officer with a brain burst was directly hit on the woman. The red and white objects splashed the woman's face, and the woman who was so scared that she was unable to struggle suddenly fell into a coma.

The tall and thin man who took off his pants three meters away had turned around. Wu Ming, who had succeeded in the sneak attack, had already rushed over, clasped his fists and raised his knees and angrily attacked. The huge impact knocked the tall and thin man out of three meters away. He screamed and fell to the ground and rolled twice in a row, crushing the ground and shaking, stirring up dirty dust.

Wu Ming landed on the ground and pounced on him again. He hugged the tall and thin man's raised head tightly and exerted force suddenly. The tall and thin man's cervical spine broke. Wu Ming also fell to the ground because of too much force, and supported himself to breathe heavily. After a while, he let go of his arms and twisted most of the ferocious head.

The dust fell, and Wu Ming, who was killing someone for the first time, was still gasping violently. He felt his mouth and tongue dry and his whole body was weak. He stood up trembling for a long time but still couldn't take a step.

The officer's body was still twitching and pressing against the woman. Wu Ming, who had come back to his soul, endured the uproar in his belly, pushed the officer away, and tidied up the woman's clothes in a hurry.

After finishing the random arrangement, Wu Ming stopped his hands, bent down and pulled open the clothes from the corpse, tear off a piece of cloth and carefully wiped away the blood on the woman's face.

The woman moaned and slowly opened her eyes and screamed suddenly. Wu Ming was so scared that he took a quick step back, waved his hand and explained: "Don't be afraid, I happened to pass by. I saw two officers and soldiers doing evil, and they followed him. It's okay, you're safe."

The woman wanted to get up but fell to the ground. Wu Ming hurriedly stepped forward to support her. The woman struggled a few times and saw that it was Wu Ming's appearance. She relaxed her whole body. She looked around the messy ground and the corpse in panic, and couldn't help but cover her face and cry.

Wu Ming didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only point to the little maid who was fainting on the ground: "She was fine, she was just shocked."

After Wu Ming said that, he hurriedly ran to the little girl and squatted down, quickly buttoned her shirt and pants. He shook her for a few times and showed no sign of waking up. After thinking about it, he picked up the little girl and ran out of the ruined temple. He quickly put the little girl in a mule cart, turned around and ran back to the ruined temple again.

"Where is the coachman?" Wu Ming came to the woman whose hair was messy and cried with pear blossoms in the rain.

The woman had already woken up, sucked her nose a few times, raised her head and choked, "I'll run away first, I guess I'll go back to report the news."

"Where are you living in?"

"The Huanggu Town in front."

Wu Ming looked around and knew that this place could not be kept for a long time. He simply stepped forward and forced the trembling woman to leave quickly: "I killed two soldiers, and the officers and soldiers in the city will definitely not give up. If I don't leave, I'm afraid I will suffer again. Let's go!"

Wu Ming half-held and half-huggered the woman who was weak all over to the mule cart, stepped forward and grabbed the mule who was eating grass and chewed her head, whispered to pull it hard, pulled it out of the shallow ditch on the side of the road, bent down and picked up the reins on the ground and strangled the mule cart, urging the woman to get on the cart as soon as possible.

The woman was still in shock and couldn't even lift her legs. Seeing this, Wu Ming took a few steps up, picked up the woman and put it in the front seat of the car, grabbed the reins and stuffed them into her hand: "Don't panic, just grab the reins, let the mule walk slowly, it will take you back to Huanggu Town. Remember, if someone asks you, you will say you can't see what I look like. I'm covered with my face, remember! Drive!"

The mule cart was carrying a dazed woman and a coma maid. Wu Ming turned around and ran away quickly. He ran for dozens of meters. He suddenly remembered the weapons of the two officers and soldiers in the temple. He immediately turned around and rushed back to the ruined temple and searched around in a hurry. Sure enough, he found the German Mauser pistol with wooden gun shells, an 80% new Hanyang-made rifle, more than 30 oceans, and a canvas ammunition belt loaded with bullets.

Wu Ming hurriedly carried a mullet, tied a wide belt with four leather magazines around his waist, then hung the canvas belt and sheathed bayonet of the thin officers and soldiers, put away the rifle on his back, carefully moved it to the inside of the temple gate, looked around, rushed down the gentle slope, and ran towards the three fork in the rain.

When he ran to the Sanchakou, Wu Ming suddenly realized that his whole body was almost wet, and the straw coat on his body and the hat on his head were gone. He was afraid that there would be any clues left, so he turned around and searched along the way.

As night fell, the sky finally became dark. Wu Ming, who was wearing a straw hat on his head and dressed in a straw raincoat, finally ran to the foot of Taijin Mountain. He sat on the wet stone slab and gasped, and soon vomited heavily.

After struggling for a long time, Wu Ming recovered some strength and then slowly stood up and raised his legs up the mountain. Before he stepped on the bluestone stairs, he saw a black figure standing in front of him.

"who?"

Wu Ming was so scared that he took a few steps back and hurriedly touched the gun holster, but he could not untie the gun shell and could not pull out the gun.

"Brother Wu, it's me, I've been waiting for you here." Chengzong's familiar voice rang out.

Wu Ming suddenly felt listless, and he walked forward with a heavy breath, pretending to be calm and said, "Scare me, hehe... go back."

Chengzong, who also wore a straw hat and a straw raincoat, did not move: "I could smell a strong smell of blood from afar. Brother Wu, what happened?"

Wu Ming knew that he could not hide it, so he had to tell the whole story of the cause and effect of the matter. After that, he apologized helplessly: "I'm sorry, I'll leave tomorrow and I won't cause trouble for the Taoist temple."

Chengzong was stunned when he heard this, and after a while he realized: "Brother Wu, are you sure no one saw you save someone?"

Wu Ming recalled again and replied very accurately: "No, when I left the city, I met a few people. I couldn't see anyone after I walked away. It was so cold and it was raining heavily. Moreover, the whole process of saving people was less than a quarter of an hour. There was no one in front and behind. When I came back, it was already dark."

"Do you really know where the accents of those two officers and soldiers?" Chengzong asked again.

"It's a Nanchang accent. In the afternoon, at Wenxuan Pavilion in the city, the waiter told me that the Nanchang bandit suppression army, who were originally stationed in the city, left in the early month, leaving only one company of officers and soldiers to supervise the recruitment of the county government. It is estimated that the two I killed were from this part." Wu Ming had completely calmed down and made an accurate analysis.

Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief: "If this is the case, it's no big deal. Go back, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, let's talk about it when you go back."

After finally returning to the Qizhen Temple Mountain Gate, Wu Ming was exhausted and floating. The careful Chengzong did not lead Wu Ming into the Taoist temple, but led Wu Ming back to his newly built wooden house.

When he entered the door, he lit the candles. Chengzong ordered Wu Ming to wash and change his clothes as soon as possible, hide his weapons, and never let Uncle Shi and Chengyuan discover abnormalities. What should I say tomorrow?

After Chengzong left, Wu Ming quickly took off his clothes and threw them into the wooden barrel. He carried the wooden barrel naked to the back door under the bamboo tube for water diversion. He gritted his teeth and rushed into the running water to rub his whole body. His whole body was so cold that his face was stiff, and his upper and lower teeth knocked on each other and made a "click" sound.

After cleaning, Wu Ming wrapped his quilt tightly in the fireplace, and was busy for a long time before his body warmed up.

The fire was strong and the room was as warm as spring. Wu Ming continued to put on a candle, climbed onto the bed wrapped in a warm quilt, took out 80% of the new German native Mauser pistol from under the bed and looked at it again and again. After seeing enough, he got out of bed and found a strip of cloth to wipe it carefully. His eyes were shining under the candlelight.

The next morning, it was drizzling all the time. Chengzong, who had finished his morning class, walked over with an oil-paper umbrella and a food box. Hearing the uniform snoring sound from the house, he couldn't help but shake his head, climbed up the steps of the wooden house and put the umbrella, pushed the door and put the food box on the wooden square table, and walked to the dim fireplace of Mars to add firewood to make a fire.

Wu Ming opened his eyes when he heard the sound, sat up slowly and asked apologetically: "Didn't you disturb your uncle?"

Chengzong clapped his hands and stood up: "How can it be so fast? The news will reach the mountain as soon as possible. Get dressed quickly and eat while it's hot, and you must be hungry."

Wu Ming put on his shirt and ran to the back to wash his face and rinse his mouth. He put on a cotton robe and sat down opposite Chengzong. He saw the hot food on the table and smiled: "Thank you!"

Chengzong walked to the bed, picked up the already shiny German Mauser pistol from the pillow, returned to his original position and sat down and played with it carefully, but he couldn't help but sarcastic: "You are so brave! You didn't even say you killed two soldiers, but you also robbed the other person's gun. If I hadn't seen you with my own eyes last night, I wouldn't believe you are so cruel and ruthless, tsk!"

Wu Ming swallowed a big mouthful of rice hard, smacked his lips and defended helplessly: "Stop sarcasm. Now I feel very regretful. I was too panicked at that time and didn't search carefully after I put the person down. If I were calmer, I would probably be able to find some things back, especially the two military horses left by the officers and soldiers. It's a pity that I endured it and didn't take it back!"

Chengzong shook his head helplessly and put the short gun on the table: "It's not good to be greedy, and many things are often broken in the word "greed". After I went back last night, I carefully considered the process you said, and found that although you succeeded in sneak attack, I was lucky. If you missed a single blow, you might be the one who lay down, let alone save people. From tonight, you have to let go of other things and learn new boxing from me. Maybe it will be useful to you in the future. The Qinglong Festival is coming soon. After the Qinglong Festival, I will return to Longhu Mountain. Everything will depend on you in the future."

Wu Ming slowly put down the bowl and looked at Chengzong silently, feeling sad for no reason.

Chengzong glared at Wu Ming: "What do you think I'm doing? Why don't you show me that spear?"

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing: "I said you are a Taoist priest, why do you like these things? But this is normal, haha! On the stool next to the fireplace are two books I bought yesterday. It is probably dried and it is more suitable for you."

"Stop talking nonsense! Where is the spear?"
