At this time, night falls, and there are sparks everywhere in the village. This kind of Lisu village living in the mountains does not have electricity. If it is normal, the villagers will have rested early. If you walk in the village, maybe
You can still hear the primitive sounds that come and go. However, at this moment, with a large number of outsiders stationed, the stockade seems a bit lively. On the threshing floor diagonally opposite the barn, there is a bonfire lit, and then those who are searching this large area
The soldiers began to return, bought some food from fellow villagers, and ate on the threshing floor.
There was a strong aroma of food in the wind. Zamao Xiaodao and I were drooling and admiring each other when we heard some movement at the barn door. We immediately crouched down on the roof of the beam, not daring to move.
A thin body appeared at the door. It was the old man with a thick head. I heard Wu Linyi call him Lao Hu.
He appeared at the door, then looked into the darkness for a while, and then shouted in a deep voice, "I know you are here, come out and tell you something." Zamao Xiaodao and I didn't move for more than ten seconds.
, Lao Hu glanced back quickly, then closed the door gently, and said in a low voice: "Stop hiding, few people enter this barn, but there are shoe marks in the dust, if I hadn't secretly messed them up for you
, you have been discovered a long time ago..."
Zamao Xiaodao and I appeared quietly from the darkness, one behind the other, sandwiching him in the middle. Zamao Xiaodao remained silent, while I asked in a low voice: "Why do you want to help us?"
When Lao Hu saw us appearing, he was not sad or happy, but smiled miserably and said to thank you for not killing us.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, he grinned and said that you were mean in the early morning, but it only woke me up with the scolding. In fact, in the past few years, except for the continuous improvement of my skills, I have not made any progress in cultivation. I guess this is because I am willing to accept it.
Insipidity is related to the mentality of surrendering to power. There are three main reasons why I came to see you. The first one is that I just learned that Xiao Yingzhong from the Northwest Bureau has put forward a proposal to question your case. It is now entering the reaffirmation stage, but
You escaped, and Bailu Tan disappeared mysteriously. I don’t know whose hand it was. The undercurrent was crowded for a while, and now all parties are fighting fiercely...
I nodded and looked back at Zamao Xiaodao. He shrugged and said that my uncle was usually not so impulsive. It seemed that he was really angry this time.
I nodded. The uncle of the Xiao family didn't have much communication with me, but I knew that he loved Lao Xiao, his eldest nephew, and I was Lao Xiao's life-and-death brother and had a lot of contact with the Xiao family. Naturally, he was angry and wanted to pursue it. So I
Without further ado, what about the second thing?
Lao Hu told me that the second thing is to tell you that Li Tengfei has a bronze mirror in his hand, which can locate the marked person, so it is easy to find you - but you are hiding here, but he did not mention that you want to come there.
The effect of the mirror is there, but not too great. Several of their principals are discussing, guessing that you did not run away, but are hiding nearby, and decided to start investigating several key areas in the past few days.
…
We looked at each other in confusion. No wonder the pursuer could not be shaken off like brown sugar. It turned out to be Li Tengfei's mirror. If Zamao Xiaodao hadn't arranged a small formation in advance to hide his figure and aura, I'm afraid that this time,
We are like being trapped in a cage or trying to catch a turtle in an urn.
"The third question,"
Lao Hu swallowed his saliva and said: "If you can survive these few days of arrest, the manpower assisting the army may be withdrawn, and we are about to go back. The next person to track you may be Li Tengfei
Mao Tongzhen and the team sent by Yang Zhixiu took over."
After saying this, Lao Hu took out two hot butter glutinous rice cakes from his pocket and said that you have been tired for a day, eat this, and then rest early. It is best to leave early. When Mao Tongzhen was chatting with Li Tengfei just now,
He said that he always felt that the village was strange, as if someone was spying on him - his feeling was really accurate! Tomorrow, a more thorough and rigorous search would be carried out. The entire village, every corner and every corner would be scanned again.
, so your place... is not safe anymore.
I took the butter glutinous rice cake from Lao Hu's hand and was a little touched when I heard his caring words. I was about to say a few words of gratitude to him when he waved his hands and said, "Don't say anything else. If you are caught,
Just don't reveal my old beard, this is... the most practical.
Both Zamao Xiaodao and I couldn't help but laugh. We dare to think that this old guy is still worried about this matter, but it is precisely because of this that he seems to be frank and true.
When I watched a movie before, I remembered a line that roughly said: "If a person can suppress the fear in his heart, then he must be the king of his own world." This sentence has also come true for Lao Hu.
Today, in 2013, knowledgeable people can inquire about the dozens of working masters in the Southwest Bureau, and Hu Renquan’s name must be among them.
Let’s take this a step further and go back to that cold night in the winter of 2009. Zamao Xiaodao and I finished eating the butter glutinous rice cake that Lao Hu had sent us and still had the remaining warmth. We felt that our physical strength was recovering bit by bit. The same goes for practitioners.
People, a life of eating the wind and drinking the dew is only suitable for those old mountain Taoists who practice bigu, or the little demon Duoduo. If we are on an escape journey with high strenuous exercise, if we don't replenish food in time, we will definitely become weaker and weaker.
, can no longer walk.
Lao Hu's words made us all wary. There are experts in this trip, and the algorithms are powerful. We set up a trap to hide our breath, and they were able to deduce that we would not go far. If it is delayed until tomorrow morning, they will be there.
If we sift through it with a comb-like method, we may not be as lucky as we are today.
Escape, we must flee, flee far away, otherwise we won't be able to escape until dawn.
Zamao Xiaodao and I quickly reached a consensus, but we must pay attention to methods when escaping. The pursuers have built this place into a base camp. If there is any movement, a large number of masters will arrive in an instant, but Zamao Xiaodao's Blood Tiger Hong Fei does not.
It will be impossible to summon it again in three days. Without the blood tiger, how can we reduce the power of that flying sword to slay demons?
In addition, what is even more terrifying are the guns in the hands of the soldiers.
Dozens of automatic rifles fired at us. We are not immortals. How could we withstand this metal storm?
We squatted in the observation hole at the top of the barn and looked around, but we saw a soldier with a gun on guard every five meters or so outside the stockade. It seemed that Mao Tongzhen and others also suspected that we might be hiding.
We are in the village, so the precautions are so strict.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but sigh. I wouldn't have come in if I had known better. Moreover, if we didn't hold back, the soldiers who would pose the greatest threat to us are actually the most vulnerable, whether they are fat bugs, fire babies, or both.
Duoduo, as long as we ignore them, not all of these dozens of people will die, but not many will be left. This is exactly the sinister intention of the person behind the scenes, waiting to force us to rebel and bring out the consequences.
When the time comes, he can directly mobilize the power of senior officials to crush us decisively.
But, how innocent are these ordinary soldiers?
Finally, we agreed to let Fat Chongzi and the little demon Duoduo go first and charm the soldiers watching in the west, while we break out from there. As for how to deal with Li Tengfei's demon-killing flying sword, Zamao Xiaodao also has a way -
In the stilted building opposite the barn, there was a drying pole behind the hut, with some dark, wet cotton cloth hanging on it. This was the owner's daughter who was having her period.
The mountain people did not have sanitary napkins, so they used absorbent cotton cloth to make similar items, which could be washed and reused.
This black thing is what we usually call blood from the lower palace. It is extremely filthy and is a magic weapon developed through visualization. As long as it gets a little bit of it, the flying sword will be out of action for a few days.
It was very cold in southern Sichuan in December 2009, and the air was very humid. The chill was deep in the bones, numb, as if there were ants crawling. We stayed up until the second half of the night, except for a few secret guards and patrol personnel.
They were all sleeping peacefully in the room vacated by the fellow villagers. It was quiet in the dark night, and only a few lights in the village were still on.
I called out Duoduo and Fatty Chongzi, and asked the two little guys to restrain their voices and confuse the secret whistle on the road to the west.
We only have a few minutes, and the patrol will pass by and find something unusual. Therefore, we must escape quickly and decisively without delay.
We took a deep breath, and when the little demon sent a safe signal, we slid down like a civet cat from the transom of the barn, walking swiftly along the hairy path, and rushed towards the clothes drying pole behind the hut, while I
He opened his head and looked around, and after making sure it was safe, he hid in the shadow of the house.
After traveling in the world for so long, the two of us have somewhat of a tacit understanding. Once we take action, our nerves become tense, like a bow loosened from its string, and we move quickly towards the west, walking as fast as flying and making no sound.
The little demon Duoduo and Fatty Chongzi started a battle and were stunned by several hidden whistles. We walked all the way through, but no accidents happened.
Because it is located deep in the mountains, there are actually some ferocious beasts like wild boars in the vast mountains, so there are fences around the village. However, due to its age and poor repairs, it is already full of loopholes. We did not take the main road, but
It specializes in running from the shadows in front of and behind the house.
However, when he was about to reach the edge of the village wall, Zamao Xiaodao stopped and crouched down.
I followed behind and looked forward. I saw a yellowed paper figurine stuck to a hole in the wall of the village, fluttering in the cold wind.
This is nothing. With the help of the faint light in the distance, I saw a pair of eyes on the head of the paper man, which seemed to be alive. He was looking around, sizing up everything around him. The hairy path was dark.
The voice told me that this is a method used by the outer sect of Maoshan Sect, called the paper ghost lighting technique, which can be used to monitor the opponent. As soon as we show up, that guy Mao Tongzhen will know it immediately.
I can't help but feel angry and ask you if there is a way to escape?
Zamao Xiaodao shook his head and said that this was a trick from the outer sect. It was practical, but not a great method. Because I was expelled from the sect very early, I didn't learn much about similar things.
The two of us frowned and were thinking about finding another way out. Suddenly we felt something was wrong behind us. When we turned around, we saw a faintly blooming will-o'-the-wisp suspended in mid-air. There was a face inside, looking at us coldly.
