Chapter 1638 Ancestor Bodhidharma is mighty and powerful
Deep in the forest, Wei Ran and others were lying on their horses, minimizing their body area as much as possible, trying to avoid the bullets coming from behind.
At this time, they didn't dare to fight back at all. They just hoped to run as fast as possible, and even faster, hoping to put a far enough distance away from the pursuers behind them. They also hoped that the wind would blow quickly for this thief.
Come on it snows!
But as he ran, although the distance between the pursuers behind him became somewhat wider, Qiu Yongwen fell off his horse without any warning!
"Yongwen!"
"elder brother!"
Wei Ran, who was riding at the end, and Yong Wu, who was running at the same pace as Yong Wen, were the first to notice something was wrong and shouted out.
"Quick...run!"
Yongwen fell to the ground and yelled with all his strength, "I can't do it anymore, the bullet... pierced... the stomach... run... run..."
With that said, Yongwen turned over with difficulty and lay on the thick snow, tremblingly took out the two box cannons that had been fastened to his waist, and learned the usage he learned from Hu Bazhi before setting off.
He turned the nose of the plane and aimed it in the direction they came from.
"Father...mother...Yongwen has avenged you!"
Qiu Yongwen roared with difficulty, "Run! Run! Run! Yongwu... take them to run!"
"Yongwen!"
"Second brother!"
Boss Qiu and Xiao Si'er shouted in panic while struggling to get off Zhao Jinyu and Wei Ran's horses.
"run!"
Yongwu, who was already crying, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, run! Don't let my brother die in vain! Run! Run! You should run!"
"drive!"
Zhao Jinyu, whose eyes were already red, shook the reins vigorously, and started running with Boss Qiu, who was riding in front of him and trying his best to cover his mouth to prevent himself from making any sound.
"drive!"
Wei Ran also shook the reins vigorously, and at the same time held down Xiao Si'er who was lying on the horse's back.
"drive!"
Hu Bazhi and Unakan shouted at the same time to the Japanese army horses that had just stopped and started running again. Amidst the sound of horse hooves trampling on the snow, they got farther and farther away from the lonely figure behind them, and eventually both sides were swallowed by darkness.
“Da da da da——”
In the cold moonlit night, the dense gunfire when the box cannon was fired made all the people still alive tremble involuntarily.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Accompanied by the chaotic but extremely dense counterattack, the dense gunfire unique to the box cannon suddenly stopped.
The oil lamps that the pursuers had hastily extinguished were lit again one after another, and they continued to chase along the horse hoof prints on the snow like maggots attached to bones.
A ravine and a mountain ridge, the remaining people rode horses and ran wildly in the darkness. From time to time, they would look up at the Big Dipper hanging in the sky, and the rest were left to the horses whose eyesight was far better than humans.
After running like this risking their lives for more than half an hour, the horses everyone was riding were tired and panting, and their speed was getting slower and slower.
If this continues, I'm afraid they will be caught up before long!
At this moment of real desperation, on the hilltop far ahead, a bunch of red flying monkeys suddenly rose up with an explosion of "Boom!"!
"Run that way!"
Hu Bazhi didn't know what he thought of, so he shouted at the top of his lungs and slapped the horse hard on the butt.
Everyone didn't have time to ask any more questions, so they all grabbed the reins and ran in the same direction.
The distance between this and the front was only two to three hundred meters. As soon as the people on horseback reached the foot of the mountain ridge where the Sky Monkey rose, they heard shouts from the surrounding woods!
"Ancestor Bodhidharma is so mighty that the heavens are shaken! Ancestor Bodhidharma is so mighty that the heavens are shaken! Ancestor Bodhidharma is so mighty that the heavens are shaken!"
Amidst the increasing roars, people riding horses or mules, or even people driving reindeer sledges, mules sledges, and even people driving donkeys and snowboards rushed out.
Come up together.
These people, who were clearly dressed as bandits, clasped their fists from a distance, raised their left shoulders, and shouted loudly, "Ancestor Bodhidharma is mighty and mighty!"
Seeing these people slowing down a little and following them, a few more people on horseback came over and ripped off the black cloth cover on the oil lamp they were carrying, revealing the red cloth cover.
The glass-shaded oil lamps shouted in unison, "Follow the red light! The shallows cannot trap the swimming dragon!"
"Follow the red light! The shallows cannot trap the swimming dragon! Follow the red light! The shallows cannot trap the swimming dragon!"
Amid the chorus of cheers from all over the forest, a dozen or so red lights suddenly dispersed and rushed in different directions.
At the same time, another person rode a horse and came up, hugged his fists, and said amidst the noisy shouts around him, "Follow me, everyone! I guarantee that Tiaozi, the king of hell, will never find a home!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately urged their horses to follow this unknown person, allowing him to run out along a ravine away from the direction where the red lights disappeared.
Behind them, the bandits who were riding horses and shouting for sledges also dispersed in an instant, or climbed up the mountain ridge, or got into the mountain col, or disappeared in the woods.
, leaving only intricate sledge marks, a string of unknown horse hoof prints, mule hoof prints and even donkey hoof prints.
"I don't know which red flower pavilion's bureau chief reached out, another day..."
Before Hu Bazhi could finish his words, the man leading the way said, "We are all here at Hezi. Big favors don't count, but small favors don't count. Please slide quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, the man pointed in a random direction with the riding crop in his hand, and then he hit the horse and ran in another direction.
"The green mountains will never change! The green waters will always flow! The one who cooks the dry pot is missing two fingers, and one of them will be returned when we meet in the future!"
Hu Bazhi raised his voice and made a promise to the figure behind him. He also shouted "Ancestor Bodhidharma is mighty and mighty." Then he hit the horse and led everyone to run out in the direction pointed by the man with his riding whip.
They only ran less than a hundred meters in the direction of the opponent's finger, but there were several people on horseback waiting for them.
In addition to the horses they were riding, each of these people also led a mule. On the shelves carried by the mules were several bulging sacks.
Before anyone could get closer, these people clasped their fists in a friendly manner and weighed them over their left shoulders, and then drove their horses into the woods, leaving only a few honest and docile mules and others to be led away.
"Do you know who saved us?" Zhao Jinyu picked up the reins of a mule and asked in a low voice.
"When the Anti-League was here, even the black soil was stained three feet deep by the Anti-League!" Hu Bazhi also picked up the reins of a mule and said gratefully, "Let's go! We will definitely meet again in the future!"
Hearing this, Wei Ran and Unakan, who were also full of doubts, no longer asked any more questions. They each picked up a mule's reins and held them tightly in their hands, urging the horses to run faster.
After running in the forest for more than half an hour, after everyone climbed up a ridge, Wei Ran stopped his horse and said, "Xiao Si'er, you get on Brother Hu's horse."
"What about you?" Hu Bazhi and Zhao Jinyu immediately asked nervously, "What do you want to do?"
"Don't be nervous." Wei Ran pointed to the top of his head, "I'll go to the tree to see if the Japanese are chasing me."
As he said that, he had already rode his horse to the side of Hu Ba Zhi, and called to the other party to drag the crying little Si'er over, and then handed the reins of the mule to Hu Ba Zhi to help hold it.
.
Then, with everyone watching, he went to the foot of a pine tree, stood up on horseback, and climbed into the crown of the pine tree.
After climbing nearly 20 meters in the dark, Weiran looked down and used the moonlight to find a tree branch thick enough to sit on, and then took out the huge Schneider telescope from the metal book.
He stood on a branch and looked in the direction he came from.
The cold moonlight covered the forest sea covered with snow. In this cold and temperatureless moonlit night, the forest sea was flickering with faint red lights. They were like fireflies, attracting those behind them.
Dots of dim lights ran in all directions of this primeval forest.
From time to time, a red light will go out, and the dim yellow light behind the red light will continue to move forward for a while and then stop blankly, or change the direction and continue chasing, or return the same way, or stop.
I don't know what I'm busy with here.
Just like Wei Ran doesn't know whether those extinguished red lights have successfully escaped or been caught.
But only, he saw very clearly that in this cold moonlit night, there was not a single red light coming in their direction, nor was there any string of dim lights chasing after them.
He didn't even know that whether it was those Japanese soldiers or those puppet soldiers who didn't want to come here, after running after those red lights for a long time, as the red lights in front disappeared, their horses and their sledge pullers
The mule also stepped on animal traps that were enough to break the bones!
This was just the beginning. As more and more animals on the Japanese side had their legs broken by animal traps, the strange screams around them and the cold shots fired from all over became increasingly dense!
Gradually, in the field of view of Wei Ran's telescope, the oil lamps that were like living targets were extinguished one after another, but the cold gunshots in the forest never stopped.
At a certain moment, the Japs who had been hunters began to gather and began to attack the surroundings in an unorganized manner with machine guns, grenade launchers, and even ancient volley formations.
But even so, there are still more and more cold shots coming from around. Even on the way these devils came, traps used to kill bears and tigers have been laid out one by one!
"Brother Wei! What did you see?!" Zhao Jinyu, who was riding on horseback under the tree, shouted.
"The Japanese stopped chasing them, and started to form a group. Even the lanterns were extinguished." Wei Ran said quite unexpectedly, "They seemed to be surrounded, and the fighting was very lively."
"Who is it that saved us?" All the people under the tree couldn't help but murmur.
However, this place is not the area where Hu Bazhi has been active before, nor is it the forest that Unakan is familiar with. Even the four... and three brothers of the Qiu family have never been here, so naturally no one knows about it.
Who is in charge of this forest?
"Stop looking, come down and leave quickly."
Hu Bazhi greeted him and said, "Let's go forward a little more slowly and let the horse rest. We can go as far as we can tonight."
"Come down now." Wei Ran took one last look, put away the telescope and climbed down again in the dark carefully.
Riding back on the horse, Wei Ran took the reins of the mule from Hu Bazhi and walked at the end as usual. At the same time, he reached out and touched the two sacks on the left and right carried on the mule.
Unfortunately, apart from being able to tell that the sack contained a lot of stuff and that the mules had been raised to be strong, he could not tell what was in the sack.
Gradually, the only sound left in the moonlit night was the crunching sound of horses' hooves and mules' hooves trampling on the snow.
Gradually, the howl of the cold wind sounded in the moonlit night, and hidden in the sound of the biting wind were the cries of Boss Qiu, Yongwu, and Xiao Sier.
Walking and walking, walking and walking, I don’t know when, the moon above my head was finally covered by dark clouds. I don’t know when, the cold wind gradually mixed with more and more snowflakes, getting bigger and bigger.
Finally, as the sky became brighter and brighter, Unakan led them to a stop on the top of a ridge covered with pine trees.
"Just rest here," Unakan said. "The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier. It may be able to cover our footprints."
"Then take a rest."
Hu Bazhi glanced at Yongwu who was riding on Wei Ran's biting horse with pity, sighed silently, turned over and dismounted, and helped Xiao Si'er, who had been lying on the horse's back, down.
After tying up their horses and mules, Wei Ran winked at Mr. Qiu, and then pointed at Yong Wu, whose eyes were red.
The latter nodded, held Xiao Si'er in one hand, and Yongwu in the other, walked to the foot of a pine tree in the distance, pulled some pine needles, spread them on the snow, and sat down side by side, whispering something.
The four of Wei Ran looked at each other, each took off the two heavy sacks carried on the mules and rummaged through them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This first sack is full of fine materials for livestock.
In the second sack, there were two wolfskin blankets, a blue cloth bundle, and a small half bag of sweet potatoes. One of the sacks carried by the mule led by Unakan did not contain sweet potatoes, but it contained a roll with Japanese
Rolls of light canvas.
What Zhao Jinyu and Hu Bazhi dug out was a small half bag of coal, plus a copper brazier with ashes remaining. What they dug out of the sack originally carried by the mule led by Qiu Yongwu was
It's more than half a bag of frozen fish.
Wei Ran burst into laughter as he opened the blue cloth bundle. In addition to a palm-sized wine gourd and a stack of good citizen certificates, the bundle also contained a large cake wrapped in straw paper. In addition to half a pickle lump, the large cake contained
There were also two unshelled pickled duck eggs, a greasy chicken leg, a bunch of dried chili peppers and two silver coins.
He almost subconsciously guessed that this might be a beard from a certain mountaintop who noticed that several people were being chased by the Japs within his sphere of influence. He might even have gotten the news just in time for dinner.
Whether it's conscience, kindness, or just the "professional ethics" of a professional bandit who wants to make some money out of the Japanese.
The bandit leader collected some certificates of good citizenship from his minions that they had no need for, and arranged for someone to pack some dinner for them. He also put a few silver coins in them and ordered the people who responded to them to prepare extra
An animal and corresponding supplies were delivered to them, and at the same time, they also lured away the Japanese who were chasing behind them.
The truth may be this, or there may be another hidden secret, but no matter what, those gangsters saved them and carefully helped them prepare food, drink and bedding.
It's a pity...
It's a pity that Qiu Yongwen didn't survive...
In this regret that could only be buried deep in their hearts, everyone suppressed their gratitude deep in their hearts.
There may be traitors, puppet soldiers, and bandits in this land who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Japanese, like Sun Da in charge of the plate.
But this black land has never lacked anti-union fighters like Hu Bazhi, ethnic minority hunters like Unakan, or ordinary people like the Qiu brothers who have lost their families and are only left with the hatred of their country and family.
There is no shortage of thieves with beards who dare to kidnap the enemy’s tickets!
Just like Hu Bazhi said, this black land was dyed three feet deep by the Anti-League!
In their wild thoughts, everyone unfolded the roll of thin canvas that Unakan had pulled out, and under Wei Ran's command, they built a tent around a pine tree that was large enough for all of them to hide in.
They each carried the dug out wolf skin blanket and got into the tent to lay it out. Hu Bazhi and Zhao Jinyu were busy feeding the animals. Wei Ran chose another tree and climbed to the canopy, and once again set up the large telescope for observation.
of the surrounding situation.
Unakan called Boss Qiu and three others into the tent, and asked them to help light the brazier while comforting Yongwu who was crying along the way.
Not long after, as the flames ignited in the brazier, the three young men who had been sad all the way reluctantly ate some food, then huddled on a wolfskin blanket, wiped their tears and fell asleep with difficulty.
Not long after, Hu Bazhi and Zhao Jinyu also returned to the tent, followed closely by Wei Ran.
"Did you see anything?" Hu Bazhi tore off half a piece of hot pancake and handed it to Wei Ran.
"No"
Wei Ran shook his head, "I didn't see anything. There were mountain ridges all around. Fortunately, I didn't see any Japanese."
"There's no one behind you, right?" Unakan asked worriedly.
"No"
Wei Ran shook his head, then took a hard bite of the food in his hand, and said vaguely while chewing, "I'll be on guard."
"I'll do it for you," Zhao Jinyu said matter-of-factly.
"Then just the two of us"
Wei Ran said first, "Brother Hu and Unakan will wait until the next break to keep watch."
"That's okay," Hu Bazhi replied absently.
"We have to guard the three of them from now on."
Zhao Jinyu lowered his voice and said, and the other three people also subconsciously looked at Qiu Qiu, who was already asleep.
"Let each of the three of us take one."
Hu Bazhi came back to his senses and said, "Have an extra horse to help carry things, so we can run faster."
"Then it's settled." Zhao Jinyu looked at Yongwu, who still had tears in the corners of Yan's eyes, "Even if it's a round, it won't be their turn yet."
"yes..."
Hu Bazhi, who was in a daze, also looked at Qiu Yongwu who was trapped in the nightmare. No one knew what he was thinking.
