Chapter 93 Zhao Cheng said that it is the safest to sleep beside the carambola branches
At dusk.
Dressed like a village woman, Yang Taozhi buried several corpses and wandered around the entrance of the village. She also picked some wild vegetables and caught a pheasant in the deserted crops.
Zhao Cheng took out the dried meat and sauce from the horse bag, and paired it with wild vegetables, pheasants, and the remaining dry food from the villagers' homes. He had a delicious dinner.
This kind of original farmhouse music made Zhao Cheng couldn't help but drink a few sips. His only regret was that he lacked a few drinking buddies to listen to his bragging.
Night falls very early down the mountain, and as soon as night falls, it is pitch black, and you can't see even where there are no lights.
Yang Taozhi had put on her black narrow sleeves and was lying on the bed. Zhao Cheng was sleeping sideways next to Yang Taozhi and snoring.
After traveling for several days, Zhao Cheng was already exhausted.
Snoring is not just an act, it’s true sleepiness.
In Zhao Cheng's heart, sleeping next to Yang Taozhi is the safest. Let alone a bandit, he can sleep even if he knows that a killer is coming.
Carambolas branch also took a nap, breathing evenly.
The village is not only dark at night, but also extremely quiet.
The slightest sound can be amplified several times, not to mention that with Yang Taozhi's hearing, she can hear any movement at the entrance of the village immediately.
An hour passed.
Two hours passed...
Yang Taozhi didn't hear any movement, so he let himself fall into a deeper sleep.
At her current level of cultivation, she can already control sleep freely.
It wasn't until a long time passed that Zhao Cheng suddenly turned over, put one hand on Yang Taozhi, and leaned his head against Yang Taozhi's neck.
"Cai'e... Cai'e, Cai'e... ah... oh..."
Yang Taozhi did not open her eyes, the corners of her mouth twitched and said: "Get over there."
"Cai'e...ah oh..."
"roll!"
Zhao Cheng suddenly woke up, immediately turned over and lay down on his back, wiped his saliva and said, "I had a nightmare."
"Are you sure it was a nightmare?"
"The beautiful skeleton is so scary!"
Zhao Cheng half sat up and looked toward the window. It was still dark, but it was not as dark as before, and he could vaguely see the gray outside the window.
"It's almost dawn, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
Yang Taozhi said: "Maybe no one saw me and thought the village was empty."
"Disappointing." Zhao Cheng fell asleep again and said, "Then let's sleep a little longer and go up the mountain to find the old man after dawn."
"Um……"
Just as Yang Taozhi responded, her ears suddenly twitched and she said, "Lie down and pretend to sleep."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng immediately turned sideways and began to snore, deliberately making the sound very loud, as if he was afraid that others would not be able to find him.
After a while, the door creaked softly.
Yang Taozhi felt three footsteps coming in.
"There is such a woman."
"I said I saw it, but you insist that the village is empty. Come here early, this woman is already in our bed now."
Yang Taozhi realized that someone was approaching him.
"This woman is so beautiful!"
"Do it, kill the man and take away the woman."
A man approached the bed, raised his knife and passed the carambola branch, intending to chop it down at Zhao Cheng, but at the same time he stared at the face of the carambola branch.
He saw that Yang Taozhi suddenly opened his eyes!
Almost instinctively, the man's whole body was shocked, and he felt as if he was being targeted by the King of Cobras. A chill ran down his spine, and the knife in his hand fell off.
Yang Taozhi caught his knife and stabbed him directly in the chest.
"ah--"
A shrill scream.
"Damn it, it's a trap!"
Seeing this, the other two men broke out of the door without any hesitation and ran away!
Yang Taozhi and Zhao Cheng got up at the same time and rushed out to chase them.
Seeing that the two bandits split into two and ran up the mountain, Zhao Cheng pointed to the one on the right who was running farther and said, "You chase that one, I'll chase this one!"
After saying that, he chased the bandit on the left.
Yang Taozhi glanced at Zhao Cheng in surprise, hesitated to speak, and then went to chase him.
At this time, the skylight was gradually cutting through the clouds and fog, and the foot of the mountain gradually turned from black to gray.
The bandit ran extremely fast and was familiar with the terrain. Zhao Cheng was panting from exhaustion and never closed the distance between him and the bandit.
Zhao Cheng didn't find it strange. The bandits who came down the mountain late at night to kidnap people were not necessarily highly skilled in martial arts, but they must be agile and good at running. Zhao Cheng felt that he was thankful that he didn't follow him, otherwise it would have been him.
You underestimated your own ability, or the other party is just a rookie.
The village was already very small, so the two of them quickly passed through the village and crops, one after the other, and ran to Lingshan Mountain.
Lingshan Mountain is not a stone mountain, but has dense vegetation and shady trees. The bandits are very cunning as they scurry left and right among the trees.
Not to be outdone, Zhao Cheng stared intently at the bandit's back, refusing to follow his lead.
It's your business to follow the curve, but I will follow the straight line.
Do you think you can knock me out by relying on a few trees?
All the bells and whistles!
Facts have proved that Zhao Cheng was right. The bandit in front of him might really be a rookie. After a while, he found that not only did he fail to throw Zhao Cheng away, but he was actually pulled closer by Zhao Cheng, so he changed his mind and ran forward in a straight line.
As the altitude went higher, their physical strength dropped rapidly, and both of them became slower and slower.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the gaps in the leaves. Zhao Cheng saw the bandit stopped in front, hunched over and panting.
how,
Stop running now?
Zhao Cheng quickly caught up with the bandit and stopped ten steps away from the bandit. He was also panting and took the opportunity to rest and replenish his strength.
"Aren't you a monster? Why do you need to rest? A monster's physical strength is so poor?"
The bandit turned around and said: "Hoo, ho...what the hell do you do?"
Zhao Cheng formed a seal with one hand and said seriously: "The seventy-third generation descendant of Maoshan is here to slay demons and subjugate demons!"
"Huh..." The bandit rubbed his waist, then straightened up and turned around.
Zhao Cheng asked: "Aren't you going to run away?"
"I'm tired, let's destroy it."
The bandit drew a scimitar from his waist and said, "Either you die or I die, let's fight."
Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, suddenly unable to deal with it.
beat?
What to fight with?
I don’t know how to do martial arts!
Seeing the bandits coming towards him, Zhao Cheng regretted his mistake!
When the bandits entered the trap, they were so excited that they ordered Yang Taozhi to chase each one.
are you crazy!
Zhao Cheng was extremely worried, but on the surface he looked serious and faced the enemy. He crouched down on his horse and formed a seal with his hands.
"Mummy mali coo...hurry up like a law...escape!!"
Turn around and run.
The bandit opened his mouth wide, stayed there for two seconds, then raised his machete and gave chase!
"Namo Amitabha...escape!!"
"Escape, escape, escape!!!"
Zhao Cheng was determined not to make the same mistake as the bandits before. He did not make any fancy darts from left to right, and insisted on running in a straight line to the end.
The more happily Zhao Cheng ran, the more excited the bandits became in pursuit, and even whistled.
"What a shame! What a shame! Sister, come quickly!"
Whoosh!
The carambola branch did not come, but an arrow flew out from the nearby bushes and shot directly through the bandit's body, nailing him to the trunk.
Hearing the sound, Zhao Cheng stopped and looked back, marveling at the strength and accuracy of the arrow.
He looked around, cupped his fists and said, "Which hero is he..."
Whoosh!
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and another arrow was shot out.
