"Shen Xuan!" The white sword light reflected in Ruan Xianbei's eyes, and she shouted again eagerly, completely forgetting that Shen Xuan's skills could not hurt him at all.
A smile flashed in Shen Xuan's eyes, and he retreated a few meters away. He waved his sword energy and knocked out Ruan Xianbei who was about to kill him.
"Ugh!" Ruan Xianbei groaned and reached out to cover her neck, which was bleeding out. The blood was dripping from her fingers and she looked very embarrassed. She gave Ruan Xianbei a hateful look. If she ran slower, she would die. Here it is.
Ruan Xianbei received her hateful look and shouted in his heart that he was speechless. Was there anything wrong? This person pretended to be injured by Shen Xuan and then blamed her himself?
"Si Qi, are you still alive?" Eleven's slow voice came from unknown direction.
"Yeah." Siqi hurt his neck and didn't want to say much. Ruan Xianbei was wary of Eleven's appearance. Unexpectedly, Eleven didn't even think about coming to help.
"Why don't you say anything? It looks like you are injured." Eleven said with a regretful tone, "Don't expect me to help. Just leave if you have nothing to do. But if you need me to go back and report your death in battle, I will be happy to do so."
Although this was a very serious situation, Ruan Xianbei couldn't help but laugh. The two didn't seem to have a good relationship, and Eleven sounded like an old Onmyoji when he spoke.
"Fake." Ruan Xianbei said sarcastically.
"Sooner or later you are going to die." Siqi raised her chin and looked at her with a ferocious smile. She endured the pain and took out a small bottle from her arms, bit off the cork, poured some powder on her neck, and pressed it with a handkerchief. Wound. "Walk."
Since the other party was determined to run away, Shen Xuan and Ruan Xianbei did not pursue him. The focus now was to rescue the disappeared villagers.
"Let's take a look."
The fog gradually dissipated, and the surrounding scenery was completely revealed. This is an ordinary back mountain, and I don’t know what tricks the other party uses to make the mountain full of fog.
The field of vision became clearer and it became much easier to find people. Ruan Xianbei discovered that Xu Pei was only about thirty meters away from them, and the two guards stood beside him dutifully.
"Senior Brother Xu, did you meet anyone just now?" Ruan Xianbei asked.
Xu Pei looked a little confused on her expression, "Who is it? I didn't meet anyone else. I suddenly entered the fog and couldn't see anything clearly. There was no response when I called your name. Did you hear my voice?" "
"Ah... no, we just met a strange person." Ruan Xianbei shook his head in thought.
"Have you seen clearly what that person looks like?" Xu Pei asked with concern.
Ruan Xianbei tilted his head and thought about how to answer, but Shen Xuan said: "I couldn't see clearly, the fog was too heavy."
On the contrary, Xu Pei comforted them and said: "It's okay, don't blame yourself too much. Then let's go find someone quickly. There are so many people and they probably won't be able to take them all away in time."
Coincidentally, the rain gradually stopped at this time.
Ruan Xianbei adopted the simplest and most direct method, put his hand to his mouth like a trumpet and shouted: "Mu Ruojiao - Mu Ruojiao -!"
He took another deep breath and continued calling the next name: "Sang Li—Sang Li—!"
Sang Li had already heard Ruan Xianbei calling Mu Ruojiao, but she didn't know who Mu Ruojiao was. Then she heard her own name and quickly responded: "It's me, it's me!!! Sang Li is here !!!」
The others huddled here with a hope of death. When they heard Sang Li shouting, they all became energetic. The girl in this corner has always been vigilant and even deterred them. She was suddenly so emotional. Could it be that someone was coming? Saved them? !
Mu Ruojiao asked blankly: "Is anyone here?"
"Is Mu Ruojiao here? I just called your name." Sang Li said.
"Yes, it's me, I'm here." Mu Ruojiao replied tremblingly, saying that it was impossible not to be afraid at all. She had never encountered such a thing. Fortunately, Ruan Xianbei and the others came quickly.
"Are you sure this is here?"
Finally, someone's voice came from outside, it was Xu Pei!
Mu Ruo
Jiao was at the door when she was pushed in. She responded: "Brother Ah Pei! I'm here! Please save me!"
"Ruojiao? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I just can't see anything because my eyes are covered..."
"Everyone at the door, please step back!" This time it was Ruan Xianbei's voice.
They walked across a small bridge, and in front of them was a cave entrance blocked by a huge stone. The huge stone was like a door. They didn't know where and how the stone came from. It was hard to imagine that the two women could move the stone. , why did you only fight with them and then run away?
The entrance of the cave should be naturally formed halfway up the mountain. There is a stream below, and the sound of water is rushing, covering up the sound of people.
Ruan Xianbei turned to look at Xi'er who was standing behind them. If Xi'er hadn't led the way, they wouldn't have found it so quickly. .
"Three two one——"
Ruan Xianbei and Shen Xuan worked together to push the stone outward, finally revealing a gap through which a person could pass.
Damn it.
Ruan Xianbei, a senior cave PTSD patient, cursed in his heart and really didn’t want to see the cave again.
"I'm in." Ruan Xianbei said.
"Be careful." Shen Xuan raised his head to block the top of her head to prevent her from hitting her head.
Ruan Xianbei got in through the gap. There were about twenty or thirty people inside, and they seemed to have no major problems except that their mental condition was not very good.
It's just that the height of this hole is too low, and adults can't walk upright at all, and can almost only half-bend. Moreover, everyone's hands and feet were tied up, and their eyes were blindfolded. She took a look and saw that most of them were women, and then there were children. There were almost no elderly people, and only one-third of them were men.
Human beings naturally yearn for freedom, so if they are kept here blindfolded for a long time, they will easily develop mental illness. In Ruan Xianbei's opinion, they are even worse than the prisoners. At least the prisoners' eyes are not covered, and they can see the moon through the window in a good environment. But then again, why is the woman covered? What about their eyes?
Ruan Xianbei first untied Mu Ruojiao, and while untying him, he said, "Everyone, I'm here to rescue you. Don't be afraid. Now follow my arrangements and everyone can go home safely. Do you understand?"
"I understand and nod."
Everyone nodded hurriedly in the direction from which the sound came.
Mu Ruojiao was tied up for the shortest time, and the blood of martial arts practitioners quickly returned to normal circulation. Ruan Xianbei wanted to send her out first.
Mu Ruojiao looked at the haggard stranger in front of her and covered her mouth to prevent herself from sighing.
"S-shall I help you?" she whispered.
"No, you go out first." Ruan Xianbei's refusal was a little cold, which made Mu Ruojiao's good intentions fall to the ice.
She helplessly said to the eldest lady: "There is not much space here and it is not convenient for the two of us. If you want to help, go out and see Xi'er and her mother. In addition, go to the village and bring a few people over to identify them."
Although Mu Ruojiao was a little unhappy with her attitude, her mood was even more complicated when she heard that Xi'er was outside.
Mu Ruojiao had been lingering for a long time, and Ruan Xianbei was already untying another little girl. The little girl's wrists and ankles were all scratched by the rough rope, almost peeling off a layer of skin. She touched the girl's head. He said, "Slowly take off your blindfold and adjust to the light. Just sit here and don't move around, you know."
"Thank you, sister." The girl said obediently.
"Ruojiao, come out quickly." Xu Pei called her from outside. Mu Ruojiao frowned but got out through the gap first.
The rain had just stopped and the sky outside was gloomy. Xu Pei paid her a few words of concern. After she said what Ruan Xianbei had just said, Xu Pei immediately called a guard back to bring a few villagers over.
Mu Ruojiao looked at Xi'er who was not far away. Xi'er was a little at a loss as she supported her mother.
"Sister Mu, I'm sorry." Xi'er stopped her and choked, "I didn't want to, but she said she could save my mother-in-law, so I..." The rest of the words were not finished.
, Mu Ruojiao didn’t want to ask anymore.
"Sister Mu, can you forgive me?"
She has always been unable to hide things on her face and in her heart, and she has a clear sense of love and hate. She has nothing to do now, but she is just a little bit lucky. She thinks she has no intention, and it is impossible to forgive or not, so when she looked at Xi'er's wet eyes, she didn't look at her face-to-face. The answer was just: "You're fine."
A trace of unknown emotion flashed in Xi'er's eyes, and she wiped her tears without speaking.
In the cave, Ruan Xianbei asked all the children to sit where they were after untying the ropes. The reason was naturally that they had been tied up for too long, and those who had struggled seriously could not even walk. What would be on the rough hemp ropes? Bacteria, can they be infected with other diseases? It's better to wait for the villagers to come to the rescue.
It was the woman's turn to untie the children. She had already seen Sang Li hiding at the back. Sang Li looked very similar to Sang Zhu.
"Sang Li?" She walked over and asked softly, receiving an affirmative nod from Sang Li.
"Where's my sister?" As soon as Sang Li's hand was free, she couldn't wait to take off the cloth and grabbed her hand and asked. She thought her sister would come, but she didn't expect that the only voice she heard was this girl's voice. Where are the beads?
Ruan Xianbei said: "Sangzhu is a little injured and is resting in the village. You can see her when you go there."
The woman said it with certainty that Sang Li was not lying to her, so she thanked her: "Thank you."
"Is it you?" Sang Li was just picking up the cloth in a hurry, and it wasn't until then that she saw Ruan Xianbei's face clearly. When she first saw it, she looked like a cat with exploded hair, and she immediately went into a state of alert.
Ruan Xianbei suddenly realized that Sang Li had also seen Shiyi's appearance.
Fortunately, no one else could see her except the child. This time it was Ruan Xianbei who grabbed her hand and whispered, "Look carefully, it's not me."
Sang Li hesitated and seemed to have something to say. Ruan Xianbei continued: "This is not the place to talk. If you have anything to say, go back and talk."
Sang Li looked carefully and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were indeed not the same person. She turned her wrists and ankles to clear her meridians and said, "I'll help you."
Ruan Xianbei did not refuse.
After about a quarter of an hour, everyone was free. Ruan Xianbei then asked the children near the door to go out one by one in order. Shen Xuan was waiting outside to take care of them. After the children left, it was the women's turn, and finally the men.
The gap was very small, and everyone walked very slowly because of their inability to move. After the children had all gone out, a man began to push forward. He pushed the woman who was walking slowly in front, but was stopped by Ruan Xianbei.
"What the hell are you doing? Why do we have to go out last? The men should go out first." At this time, another person in the corner muttered dissatisfiedly.
Look, just after being freed, a man started to show off his bad nature and start shouting.
Ruan Xianbei threw out a flying knife and accurately found the man who spoke. The flying knife stuck into the wall against his ear. She looked at the man who spoke coldly, "If you don't want to die, just shut up."
The man felt a twinge of pain in his ears, reached out and touched the blood on his hand, and closed his mouth in shock, fear and hatred.
The person who had just pushed others also retracted his hand and obeyed Ruan Xianbei's request to line up and go out.
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo, hoo!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and help me search you."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before dawn, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
