In front, Jiang Zhi and Xiao Man were walking and walking.
It was very inconvenient for the two of them to walk in the woods carrying heavy objects, especially Xiaoman's large quilt.
Moreover, my physical strength was also used up during the initial period of traveling, so I needed to put down my backpack and rest from time to time.
Xiaoman's face was covered with sweat, but his eyes were eager to try, and he kept looking back.
Where they just walked, there was an inconspicuous kudzu vine hanging across the grass on the ground.
This is really inconspicuous on a mountain full of trees and vines.
The other end of the rattan stretched on the cliff, and was wrapped around a wooden stick, which was pressed down by a shaky stone.
As long as the cane moves and the stick falls off, the stone will roll down as expected.
Jiang Zhi bit a piece of grass root and sucked the light and bitter juice inside.
She knew without looking back that the person pursuing her was approaching. Just when she turned around the hillside, she spotted the figure.
"Xiaoman, you'll be standing upwind for a while, don't come over yet!"
Jiang Zhi took out a package of things from his waist pocket.
The damage that the stone can bring is limited. If a person steps over the rattan, the trap will be ineffective. Or if you are more agile, you can avoid the falling stone in time.
To be on the safe side, Jiang Zhi went to Xu Dong in the medical shed and asked for some medicines to be ground into powder. They were not fatal poisons, but would only make people sneeze unbearably.
As we all know, when people sneeze, they have basically no ability to resist, and may even experience a brief freeze state. Moreover, it cannot be solved at once, and it is even more unbearable.
This would be a fatal problem if it happened during a confrontation.
Although he was well prepared, Jiang Zhi still felt uneasy.
She looked up at the mountain and frowned: What is Xu Errui doing?
According to his instructions, Xu Errui should have appeared outside the village long ago and could catch up with the wounded soldiers.
But he had already walked a quarter of the way and still didn’t see anyone.
I have been with Xu Errui for more than half a year, and I know that the child is very filial, sometimes even foolishly filial. There is no need to question this loyalty.
There’s no reason not to show up now, unless there’s something wrong on the mountain…
Jiang Zhi felt anxious.
In the medical shed, Zhang Juntou knew that he was going to help make medicine. He asked about the time when he would return home, but no one was there, otherwise he would have asked someone to take him some distance.
From behind, the sound of human voices and footsteps was approaching.
Jiang Zhi calmed down, knowing that what was supposed to come had arrived.
She looked at Xiao Man who was beside her and said, "Xiao Man, let's keep walking!"
Since you want to trick people, you must do it realistically.
Xiaoman remained silent, threw a stone casually, pulled up two nests of weeds, picked up the basket on his back and continued on the road. The traces of the two people sitting and walking were clearly left behind.
Sure enough, just as the two stood up, they panted and caught up with two refugees in linen clothes from behind. When they saw Jiang Zhi, they were overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Stop!"
Jiang Zhi and Xiao Man seemed to be frightened, looked back and ran away.
Zheng Laogou said anxiously: "Stop, if you dare to run again, I will break your legs!"
The more they shouted, the faster the people in front ran. The red silk quilt was like a fishing bait that firmly attracted their attention.
Zheng Laogou ran in front, and behind him, the man with a sprained ankle also tried to follow, but his feet hurt so much that he grinned all the way.
While running, Jiang Zhi and the two seemed frightened by the words about breaking their legs. They stopped and looked back.
It's just that the child had a strange expression on his face. It didn't look like he was scared, but rather he looked forward to something.
What could it be? Before Zheng Laogou could come to his senses, he stumbled and a kudzu root across his face came loose.
Zheng Laogou didn't feel anything unusual, but at this moment, the person twisting his feet behind him suddenly exclaimed: "It's a rolling stone!"
Rockfalls are common on mountains.
Zheng Laogou turned around and saw a stone larger than a washbasin suddenly rolling down towards the two of them on the cliff to the right.
"Hide!"
This kind of stone always takes a few seconds to roll down. Zheng Laogou ran forward and fell to the ground while crawling and rolling.
The man following him did not react so quickly. His ankles were already swollen, and his upper body was turning around to run, but his feet had their own ideas and refused to stay still.
Good luck never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. The stone just rolled over his ankle and fell down the hillside with a loud roar.
There was a loud noise and screams at the same time.
The man rolled on the ground holding his deformed calf: "Ah, the leg is broken. Zheng Laogou, you are so blind that you pulled the stone down."
Zheng Laogou quickly got up and went back to help the person with a sprained foot and broken leg, but Xiaoman and Jiang Zhi had already come back.
Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, exchanging intention for inadvertence, that's what he's talking about right now.
Xiao Man ran at the front and rushed towards him waving a wooden stick. Zheng Laogou quickly dropped the man underground and drew a knife from his waist to meet him.
knife!
The refugees gathered in Xujia Village were not allowed to carry knives, and all of them had to be searched. These people were deliberately hiding.
Jiang Zhi suddenly became nervous!
This time, it was also the first time that Xiaoman faced the enemy head-on.
Zheng Laogou is not too old, he is in his prime in his thirties, and he has eaten a lot during his escape, and his face is full of ferocity.
A young boy who was just starting out, striking out while the iron was hot, faced off against a seasoned adult, and it only took one round to show his superiority.
Xiao Man's stick hit him, but Zheng Laogou dodged it.
But it also hit Zheng Laogou on the shoulder, causing him to yell out in pain and slash back with the knife.
Xiaoman was agile and quickly dodged, but was still scratched by the tip of the knife.
A large piece of the cut sleeve drooped, but fortunately no blood was seen flowing out.
Just when Zheng Laogou was about to chop again, Jiang Zhi, who was a step slower, had already arrived: "Xiao Man, get out of the way!"
She is like the mother of all poisonous poisons, raising her hand is a packet of medicinal powder.
Xiao Man immediately covered his mouth and nose and stepped aside.
Zheng Laogou, who was wielding the knife, was caught off guard and hit in the middle, and his whole face was covered with powder.
As soon as the powder came out, a strange bitter smell suddenly enveloped the space.
This kind of plant medicine powder is thinner than chili powder, floats directly in the air for a long time, and penetrates deep into the alveoli with breathing.
Zheng Laogou was covered in it, coughing and sneezing, with snot and tears coming out. He curled up into a shrimp, desperately trying to breathe fresh air.
The man on the ground saw that something was wrong, so he stretched his body and touched the rocks on the ground to hit people.
Jiang Zhi also gave him a handful of medicinal powder, and he started coughing and sneezing.
Xiaoman stood very close to the other person, and inevitably they got a little bit closer, and immediately sneezed loudly.
He was still angry because he had just dodged the blade, so he kicked the man on the ground, breaking his leg and causing the man to roll on the ground in pain.
In pain, he accidentally rolled down the hillside, leaving a long series of screams echoing in the valley...
The three people on the slope had no time to care whether the man was dead or alive. Zheng Laogou had already stood up reluctantly.
Xiaoman sneezed: "Ah Qiu! Auntie, these people...ah! Ah! Ah Qiu!"
Zheng Laogou raised his head and was still sneezing. In his busy schedule, he did not forget to say harsh words: "I, Qiu... I'm going to kill you!"
Jiang Zhi said with a dark face: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, I will do whatever you think in your heart!"
"You're still so stubborn!"
Xiaoman hit him on the head with a stick, and the man immediately started bleeding and squatted aside with his head covered.
How to deal with this person has become a matter of time, whether it is death or life?
But at this moment, a voice with gnashing teeth came from behind: "Baby, I think you have a tough tooth, and you dare to be so arrogant when the time comes for you to die!"
Following the screams and sounds of fighting, the two bearded men arrived!
