Song Jiang took Chao Yong's token and was able to pass without any hindrance.
After leaving the water park, Song Jiang took a small road and rushed to Songjiazhuang. He arrived outside Songjiazhuang that night. Song Jiang hid in the woods for a while, watching every house close its doors and turn off the lights. Then he quietly entered the village and arrived behind his house.
Knock on the door.
"Bang bang"
Although Song Jiang did not dare to exert too much force, the sound of knocking on the door was still very abrupt in the silent night.
"Woof woof woof"
Because the current emperor Zhao Ji was born in the year of the dog, he issued a decree to ban dog slaughter throughout the country. However, there were many dogs raised in the village and wild dogs outside the village.
As soon as Song Jiang knocked on the door, a nearby watchdog barked, and then the dogs in the village responded to each other. For a while, the village was full of barking dogs.
Song Jiang heard the footsteps of villagers nearby, and knew that they were coming out to check. He immediately became anxious, stepped back, walked a few steps, jumped up, climbed onto the wall, and jumped into his yard.
"who"
Song Qing had not yet fallen asleep when he heard a knock on the door. Just as he was about to go out and open the door, he saw a man jumping in from the wall. He quickly picked up a wooden stick in the courtyard and looked at the man warily.
Song Jiang saw that it was Song Qing and hurriedly whispered: "It's me, brother, don't be loud."
Song Qing heard his brother's voice and hurriedly came up and asked, "Why is my brother back?"
Song Jiang quickly said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk after we enter the room."
Song Qing said hurriedly: "The news about you in Jiangzhou has been spread here. This county has sent a Zhao Dutou to live in my house every day, just waiting for you to come and throw yourself into the trap. If the court documents arrive, you will not come.
, they are going to arrest us, father and son, and put us in jail. There are still dozens of soldiers living in the front yard. Without further ado, please leave quickly and ask the leader of Liangshan to come over and save my father and brothers."
Song Jiang wanted to speak, but he heard footsteps coming from the front yard, and at the same time, someone asked: "Who was knocking on the door just now?"
Song Qing hurriedly took two steps, opened the door, and said: "Brother, hurry up, they are local soldiers from the county."
After hearing this, Song Jiang didn't care to say anything more and ran out.
At this time, the soldiers from the front yard had also walked to the backyard. When they saw a dark figure running out, they immediately shouted: "No, Song Jiang is coming. Everyone, chase after him. Don't let him go."
When many local soldiers in the front yard heard Song Jiang's appearance, they immediately came to chase him.
When Song Jiang heard that many people were chasing him, he immediately panicked and ran into the darkness.
After running for a while, I heard the sound of chasing behind me slightly farther away.
Only then did Song Jiang dare to slow down. When he looked up, he couldn't help but secretly complain.
I covered my head and ran for a while, and unexpectedly arrived at Huandao Village.
This Huandao Village is surrounded by high mountains and ridges, with a stream flowing from the mountain stream, but there is only one road in the middle, leading to the Xuannv Temple in the middle of the mountain.
Xuannv, also known as Jiutian Niangniang and Jiutian Xuannv in the countryside, is one of the Taoist gods.
Taoism says that the emperor and Chiyou fought in Zhuolu, but the emperor could not win. He sighed at the power of Mount Tai and felt moved by the queen mother, so he ordered the Nine Heavens Xuannv to descend and give the emperor Dunjia, soldiers, talismans, diagrams, strategies, seals, swords, etc.
He made eighty-faced ox-drums and defeated Chiyou, and conquered the world.
Therefore, she was worshiped as a female fairy by Taoism. During the Han and Wei dynasties, Xuannv had a great influence among the people. It is said that Xuannv and Huang were the seniors of Fangzhongshu. Peng Zu and Lao Dan were both their students. The ascension of the Yellow Emperor
It also depends on their magic, and among Xuan Su, Xuan Nu ranks first.
The people worshiped her because they wanted to pray for a long life like Peng Zu, and they also wanted to have a son because Xuannv was proficient in Fangzhongshu.
Huandao Village is next to Songjiazhuang, and Song Jiang has been there many times. Naturally, he knows that this road up is a dead end, and there is no other way down the mountain.
"Don't leave Song Jiang, there will be a heavy reward if you catch him."
When Song Jiang was about to turn around and escape, he found that his pursuers were approaching, so he had to continue moving forward.
When I was halfway up the mountain, I ran through a forest and saw an ancient temple.
Seeing that there was no other hiding place left or right, Song Jiang had no choice but to open the temple door and enter, then close the door from the inside to hide.
When Song Jiang was checking where he could hide in the temple, he heard someone say from outside: "Maybe he hid in this temple."
Then a burst of footsteps came closer and closer.
Song Jiang suddenly panicked and looked around hurriedly, but there was no hiding place. The empress Xuannv enshrined in the middle was not very tall, and there was no way she could hide behind her.
There is only a sacred table in front of the temple, with some tributes placed on it.
Song Jiang didn't have time to think too much, so he ran over quickly, lifted up the curtain on the case, and got inside, but he could barely hide from him. When he heard that the people outside had come to the door, he quickly held his breath, not even daring to breathe.
He went out and secretly prayed that the soldiers would not dare to come and reveal the mysterious case.
"squeak"
There was a muffled sound, and several soldiers pushed the door open and came in.
The temple door opened, and the bright moonlight suddenly shone in.
Song Jiang hid behind the curtain, and when he saw the bright moonlight, he couldn't help but be so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Zhao Neng, the new governor of Yuncheng County, had a panoramic view of the temple, turned around and said: "This guy is not in the temple, and there is no way out, but where did he go?"
A soldier said: "Could it be hiding in the woods in front?"
After hearing this, Zhao Neng said hurriedly: "It's broken, Zhao needs you to quickly bring a few people to guard the intersection below. I will take people to search for him in the woods. With this skill, he shouldn't be able to escape. Let's leave quickly."
With that said, he led a group of soldiers back in a hurry.
Seeing them leave, Song Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, but felt worried again.
In Huandao Village, there is only one road down the mountain. When going up, it is difficult to climb, and there is no way to go down the mountain on both sides. If they had kept guarding the intersection, Song Jiang would have difficulty going down the mountain.
Song Jiang did not dare to go out, so he could only hide under the magic case, praying that Zhao Neng and others could not find him and retreat to Songjiazhuang, so that he could escape back to Liangshan.
Song Jiang thought for a while, and was afraid that if Zhao Neng and others could not find him in the woods, they would come to the temple to look for him. Then they would find him with just a little search.
Song Jiang gritted his teeth and decided to sneak into the forest where they had searched while they were searching. Presumably, they would not search a second time. If they did search, there would be more places to hide in the forest, which would be better than here.
Sit back and wait for death.
Thinking of this, Song Jiang was about to drill out, but when he pressed his hand on the back, he heard a "squeak" sound.
Song Jiang opened the curtain and looked through the moonlight. He saw a small grid on the wall that was originally tight and seamless, but inside was an object wrapped in a handkerchief.
Song Jiang didn't have time to take a closer look, picked it up, put it in his arms, and ran out.
After leaving the temple gate, Song Jiang saw that the soldiers from Yuncheng County had lit many torches and were gradually searching deeper into the forest.
Song Jiang did not dare to hide in the woods boldly, so he could only shrink into the darkness and slowly lean into the woods. At least he did not alert the soldiers and successfully hid in the woods.
Song Jiang was afraid that the soldiers would bump into him when they returned, so he found a book with leafy branches, climbed up quietly, and hid it on it.
The forest was not very big. It didn't take long for Zhao Neng to search the area with the soldiers, but no trace of Song Jiang was found. After thinking about it, he said to a soldier: "Go down and take a look at the people who are chasing you."
Did you see someone escaping?"
Song Jiang hid in the tree, watching Zhao Neng and others walking by his feet, he couldn't help but be so frightened that he didn't dare to express his anger.
Fortunately, they had already searched this area just now, so no one looked up at the tree again, otherwise they would definitely find Song Jiang.
Zhao Neng led people out of the forest, took a look at Xuannv Temple, and suddenly said: "Is that guy hiding under the sacred table in the temple? I didn't look at it just now."
After saying that, he led the people to gather in front of the temple again.
Song Jiang saw from the tree that they had indeed gone to search the temple again, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
Zhao Neng and others went to the temple and saw that just one person could be hidden under the divine case. Zhao Neng did not dare to lift the curtain, fearing that if Song Jiang was really hiding inside, a fatal blow would kill him.
"Go and open the curtain and take a look."
The soldier who was targeted by Zhao Neng walked over cautiously.
Zhao Neng and others stared at the mysterious case as if facing a formidable enemy, in case Song Jiang suddenly jumped out.
The soldier tiptoed to the side of the magic table, grabbed the curtain, and suddenly pulled it down.
"Ding"
The incense burner on the desk was pulled to the ground, and the ashes inside suddenly started to fly up.
"careful"
Zhao Neng and others quickly covered their eyes and at the same time struck at the incense table with knives and guns to prevent Song Jiang from taking the opportunity to jump out and hurt others.
Naturally, everyone chopped it down, and when the ashes fell down and everyone looked under the incense case, there was no one there.
Zhao Neng took a disappointed look, and when he was about to leave, a soldier shouted: "Someone was hiding here before. There is a fingerprint in this grid. It seems to be a new one."
When Zhao Neng walked over to take a look, he saw that the small grid was old and was under the incense case. Although it had been sealed by a mechanism before, incense ashes continued to fall down every day, so there was still some dust inside.
A soldier with sharp eyes pointed to the place where the handkerchief was previously placed and said: "There is no dust on the edge. I don't know what is there. It must have been taken away by Song Jiang."
After Zhao Neng heard this, he couldn't help but become greedy. If something was hidden in such a secret compartment, it must be a treasure. He didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise in this encounter.
A soldier said: "That guy must have escaped from here and got into the woods while we were searching the woods."
Zhao Neng waved his hand and said, "Let's go find him in the woods."
Song Jiang saw Zhao Neng and others lighting torches in the tree, and they swarmed to the edge of the forest. He was so frightened that he almost fell under the tree.
Several flattering soldiers had already entered the forest, holding torches and searching up and down.
Song Jiang saw that a soldier was about to find him under the tree where he was hiding, and he couldn't help but become anxious. As long as the soldier shined a torch, he would be able to find him.
When he was thinking about jumping off the tree, defeating the soldier preemptively, and grabbing a simple sword.
I heard Zhao Neng shouting from outside: "Everyone, come out first."
The soldiers under the tree that was about to arrive turned around and went back. Song Jiang almost jumped down. Seeing that there was a chance of improvement, he quickly grabbed the branches to steady himself.
"Du Tou, why aren't you looking for it?"
Zhao Neng glanced at the dark woods, shook his head and said: "You can't see anything in this forest. When we go to look for him again, I'm afraid he will take the opportunity to dodge to another place. There is only one way out from the mountain in Dao Village, so we are not afraid of him.
If he has escaped, we will just go to the foot of the mountain to guard him. When daybreak comes, we will search the forest carefully. We are not afraid that he will put on his wings and fly away." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian.
