Wang Ling was not as fast as He Qizhou, not to mention holding a child in his arms. He only ran for a hundred steps before being chased to a distance of only three to four feet. He Qizhou simply put his bow and arrow on his back and continued to pursue him, waiting for an opportunity.
Take action.
Wang Ling could feel the person behind him getting closer and closer, but without looking back, he pulled out a dagger, pointed it at the girl's heart, and shouted as he ran: "Hillbilly, if you chase me again, I'll kill her!"
The person behind him seemed to have really stopped. Although there was no sound of chasing footsteps, Wang Ling ran hundreds of feet down the mountain in one breath until he came to the official road. There was a cliff further down. As long as he walked along the official road.
Half a mile further ahead is the camp where the officers and soldiers are stationed, and you will be safe by then.
When they reached the official road, Wang Ling finally had the courage to glance back. It seemed that no one was there. Then he looked at the little girl who was unconscious under his arm. He was hesitating whether to throw it down the mountain. He just turned around.
, I saw a figure floating down from the treetops in front of me, punching directly towards my face.
After all, Wang Ling is also a deputy head catcher. His cultivation of the three meridians and actual combat experience are unmatched by ordinary warriors. More importantly, his response to crises is obviously much higher than ordinary people. He just chose to escape in the first place.
A good example. Faced with the inevitable heavy punch, Wang Ling neither blocked nor evaded, nor did he kill the hostage with the dagger in his hand. He just stepped back and released the arm holding the hostage on one side.
The unconscious little girl suddenly fell straight down the cliff next to the official road.
He Qizhou, who was secretly proud, was suddenly shocked. If he continued to hit Wang Ling with this punch, he would indeed seriously injure Wang Ling, but he would definitely not be able to save the child in time! What a good He Qizhou, he squatted down and used all his strength with his right fist.
He stretched out and finally caught the little girl's ankle at the last moment, but he also lost his center of gravity and leaned to the side of the cliff.
How could Wang Ling let go of such an opportunity? With a sweeping whip kick, He Qizhou could only use his left hand, and his whole body and the girl were swept off the cliff.
Wang Ling sneered as she approached the cliff and looked down. This sight made Wang Ling break out in a cold sweat, and she immediately ran away to the barracks in front. It turned out that Wang Ling saw He Qizhou holding a hand on the slope behind the cliff four or five feet away from the road.
The girl was climbing up quickly with her other hand and two feet. Wang Ling, who was already frightened, did not dare to attack and just wanted to run back to the barracks as soon as possible.
When it comes to familiarity with cliffs, I am afraid that few people can surpass He Qizhou. He has been able to climb on the cliffs hit by waterfalls since he was a child, so why be afraid that this is not a smooth rock wall, and Wang Ling will sweep out that kick.
At that time, He Qizhou had already spotted the place to stay. In order to prevent Wang Ling from taking action again, he deliberately used the power of his leg to slide back seven or eight feet. However, climbing with one hand was more than twice as slow as with both hands.
When he returned to the official road again, he saw Wang Ling running along the official road a hundred steps away and just turned out of his sight. He Qizhou put down the child in his hands and chased after him with all his strength.
Wang Ling, who put down the child, relied on her considerable internal strength to move extremely fast. The mountain road was winding and she clearly saw Wang Ling's back several times. He was about to shoot an arrow, but a sharp turn on the mountain road caused Qi Zhou to lose his target.
Fortunately, the distance between the two of them was gradually shortening. After turning a corner, they finally saw Wang Ling who was twenty feet away. However, at this time, Wang Ling had already climbed over the barrier on the road and ran towards the person who was more than ten steps away.
Camp, while shouting: "Master Long, save me quickly! The person who rescued the white scarf thief in Jiangling City is..."
Seven or eight people ran out of the camp, and the leader was none other than Long Yin, the chief arrester of Nanzhili. Wang Ling, who was running over in a hurry, was midway through his words. First, he was shot in the right shoulder with an arrow, and then his throat popped out again.
A cluster of arrows dripping blood, the words stopped suddenly, and he fell forward to the ground, while a figure with an arched back twenty feet away was running away quickly, and after two or three steps, he was blocked by the mountain and disappeared.
The soldiers who walked out of the camp hurriedly asked if they wanted to pursue him. How could Long Yin, who had been defeated in Jiangling City, dare to take risks again? He said to everyone: "Which of you can block two arrows like that? It seems that the white scarf thief is really here in Qimen."
In the mountains, the order is sent down. The teams patrolling the mountains are divided into five groups. They must all come back before dark. The camp will be strengthened and all crossbowmen will be deployed in the camp!"
He Qizhou quickly returned to the place where he put the girl down and saw that the little girl was still in a coma. After checking her pulse, he found that she was fine and did not dare to stay. He picked up the girl and climbed up the steep hillside.
When I returned to the doors of those wooden houses, I saw that the last officer and soldier had been killed, and the hostages kneeling on the ground had all been untied. A woman was disheveled, holding a little boy tightly and crying bitterly. Another woman
He was sobbing silently, and the strong man fell to the ground covered in blood, and Lin Chuan was bandaging him.
After running at full speed for such a long time, He Qizhou was also a little exhausted. After taking a breath, he first pinched the little girl. The child was just too frightened and cried loudly when he woke up. The sobbing woman
Hearing the sound, he raised his head suddenly, hurriedly came over to the girl, hugged the girl tightly, and started crying loudly.
Instead, He Qizhou no longer worried about these two people. He took off his backpack and ran to the young man to take a pill that could strengthen the body's vitality. He then took Lin Chuan's place and helped him apply medicine and bandage several wounds with deep visible bones.
The injured person was probably in his early thirties, with tears in his eyes and dull eyes. Although he was exhausted, he still kept chanting: "Kill them, I want to kill them, I want to kill them..."
After He Qizhou bandaged him, he called twice in his ear. The man was startled and finally came to his senses. He Qizhou said: "Brother, all those officers and soldiers are dead. The officers and soldiers of the brigade will find this place soon."
, we have to leave quickly!"
The man held back his grief and said: "Thank you to my two benefactors, I really can't walk anymore. Please take the four of them over this mountain and escape to the south. The responsibility for killing the official lies with me."
Take it, you two can only repay your great kindness in the next life!"
The woman who was guarding the little girl shouted: "No! Zheng Lang, if you want us to die together, we will die together!"
He Qizhou said in a deep voice: "Stop arguing, Mu Mu, you carry this eldest brother and lead the way. The two eldest sisters follow in the middle. I will hold the child. Let's go now!" After saying that, He Qizhou quickly took back the three corpses.
He picked up the arrow branch, carried the little boy on his back, took the little girl from the woman's arms, and urged everyone to leave quickly!
It was just that the disheveled woman refused to leave, saying that she wanted to bury her parents and husband first. Then another woman also said that she could not let her child die in the wilderness. He Qizhou put down the child and ran into the wooden houses to take a look.
There were still two corpses of officials lying in the house, as well as the parents and husband the woman mentioned! He Qizhou said to the middle-aged man: "Brother, people cannot be resurrected after death. You let the two sisters-in-law and children go first, and I will take your relatives."
Let’s get together and be cremated, and then come back and build a tomb after the limelight has passed. You are still alive, otherwise what will happen to the children?”
The strong man nodded and asked his wife and sister-in-law to go up the mountain together, and asked He Qizhou to search out the 500 taels of silver that had been stolen from an officer who was being executed.
Sure enough, He Qizhou found a large sum of cash on the corpse of an official. After removing it, he quickly dragged the corpses of the family on the ground into a larger wooden house. There were three old people in total, one in his prime and one boy.
I couldn't stop crying. I brought dry firewood from the kitchen and lit a fire. I closed the door and was about to leave. I looked at the corpses of officials scattered on the ground. I was still a little worried, so I simply burned them. There were seven corpses in total and they were dragged to the ground.
Among the adjacent cabins, since these cabins were all made of wood, the fire quickly rose into the sky. The two large pine trees next to the cabin soon also burned. Fortunately, a large open space was opened during the construction of the cabin, and the fire did not spread.
It won't affect the surrounding areas.
He Qizhou was secretly glad that the official did not chase him immediately. Although he was still very nervous after killing five people this time, he felt more pleasure from spitting out a strong breath. After looking at the movement down the mountain, he turned around and chased up the mountain.
go.
As they went up, the mud-rock mountain road became steeper. Soon they caught up with the people who were struggling to move forward. He Qizhou stepped forward and silently carried the little boy on his back, and then hugged the youngest girl. The two children seemed to be very sensible.
, no more crying.
The group of people walked hundreds of steps upwards. There was no discernible mountain road under their feet. Lin Chuan just followed the instructions of the man on his back step by step. The two women had obviously lived in the mountains since childhood and could follow Lin Chuan closely.
River, but the higher you go up, the more difficult it becomes to walk. There are rugged rocks on the mountain, and no other vegetation grows except for some strangely growing pine trees. The walking path is winding and winding. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, it is difficult to climb up a block.
When you look up from the huge boulder, you can finally see the top of the mountain. The entire mountain peak is an almost vertical cliff more than ten feet high.
He Qizhou took a breath of air and asked, "How do we do this? Can two sisters-in-law do it?"
The man motioned to Lin Chuan to let him down, and said helplessly: "There is only one way to go, but there are a few footholds carved into the cliff and a few iron bars embedded for climbing. Once you climb over, it won't be so steep."
Yes, there is a small village in the valley about a hundred feet away from the peak opposite. You can ask someone to borrow a long rope to hoist them up. I will rest for a while and try to see if I can climb up by myself."
He Qizhou's eyesight was amazing. He looked at the mountainside with fireworks in the distance and frowned: "I saw that many people have arrived at the wooden house. It's too dangerous for you to stay here. Let me carry you up."
The man looked at the mountainside and couldn't see anything clearly, and said: "It's difficult for outsiders to find the way up the mountain. Young hero, you are very tired after working for a long time. I weigh 150 or 60 kilograms for you to carry."
It's too dangerous, so you can ask the two knights to carry the two children up first, and then go down the mountain to find a rope."
Lin Chuan said that he should carry the strong man, but He Qizhou pushed him away and said: "I don't have time to argue with you. You carry the little girl up first, and then hold hands on the top of the cliff."
