Gao Wu: Invincibility begins with basic archery

The sky was getting light, and the mountains were looming at the end of the wilderness.

Chen Fan walked alone on the road, covering his face with a cloth, holding a long gun in one hand, feeling a little heavy.

When he went to Songjiabao yesterday, he knew that there might be danger, but he was still full of expectations.

Today, it was very different.

"When the car reaches the mountain, there must be a road, and when the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally be straight. It is useless to think too much, so it is better to adapt to the situation and act according to the circumstances."

Chen Fan felt much more relaxed when he thought about it.

After all, life is not satisfactory in eight out of ten cases, and difficulties and setbacks are the norm in life. Only by maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude can we deal with difficulties and setbacks.

He walked very fast, and in less than half an hour, he saw the city wall of Songjiabao.

As yesterday, he passed through the crowd of beggars and came to the city wall.

It was still early, but there were many people waiting to enter the door, gathered together, and talked in a low voice.

On the city wall, many guards with rifles had come, and they stood together in twos and threes, smoking and chatting.

Chen Fan looked up, wanting to see if anyone among them was carrying a telescope.

In fact, he also knew that this method was unreliable, because it was possible that the man would put the telescope in his pocket, just like him now, but apart from that, he had no other method.

After a rough glance, there was really nothing to gain.

"No hurry."

He thought to himself that it seemed that many guards had not come yet. Later, he would find a place that would not attract attention and take a good look at the situation.

Time passed bit by bit, and the number of people coming from all directions gradually increased.

The atmosphere gradually became heated.

"Have you heard?"

A rough voice suddenly sounded, "The group of horse thieves outside were all killed!"

"What!"

There was a cry of surprise outside, and the noise was so loud that not only Chen Fan, but also more than a dozen guards standing on the city wall, all looked over.

"Brother, what did you say just now?" A man a few meters away was dumbfounded, "You said that the bandits outside are all dead?"

"Really? Who can kill them?"

"Brother, it's early in the morning, you are not kidding us, are you?"

Everyone talked to each other, looking at the man who spoke before with both expectation and disbelief.

The man who spoke was a tall man in his forties, wearing a tattered coat, with messy hair like a chicken coop, but his eyes were bright.

Seeing that he instantly became the focus of the scene, even the guards on the city wall looked at him, Quan Erpeng was very proud, raised his head high, and said: "Is this true? I saw the bodies of the bandits with my own eyes!"

The surroundings were silent again.

Chen Fan frowned slightly.

Could it be that this man was one of the few people who looked at him from afar yesterday?

"Brother, what's going on?"

"Yes, big brother, don't keep us in suspense, tell us now."

Everyone urged.

When they heard the word "horse thief", they were worried that one day, these guys would attack them. If, if what this brother said was true, and those horse thieves were all dead, it would be great news!

If it were ten years ago, they would have to buy hundreds of yuan worth of firecrackers to celebrate for three days and three nights.

"Hey."

Fawned by the crowd, Quan Erpeng said with a smile: "Why are you in a hurry? I'm just about to say it, right?"

Chen Fan pricked up his ears and listened to every word, and gradually understood what was going on.

It turned out that after he and others left, several people passed by and were stunned when they saw this scene.

Fortunately, who has not seen a corpse among those who have lived to this day? They are all numb.

After hesitating for a moment, several people stepped forward decisively and looted items one by one, even the clothes on the corpses.

As they were scraping, someone noticed something was wrong. One of them had a scar on his face and a bald head. He looked like a horse thief.

After comparing the numbers, the people gasped.

This group of people seemed to be the horse thieves.

But the only thing that puzzled them was who killed them.

At this time, more people arrived one after another, and the news spread quickly and reached the ears of the man who was speaking.

As for the others, they came from other directions and naturally didn't know about this.

"Hiss..."

After the voice fell, everyone in the audience gasped.

"So, those horse thieves are really, really dead?"

Someone said in disbelief.

Quan Erpeng said unhappily: "I saw it with my own eyes, how can I lie to you? There are more than 30 bodies in total, and one of them is bald."

"Yes, the number matches," a person next to him echoed: "And the leader of that group of horse thieves is indeed a bald man, and his surname seems to be Wu."

"Yes, yes, I also saw that group of people riding horses past me, as if they were chasing someone. I was so scared that my legs went weak at the time, and I thought it was all over."

"So, in that case, the group of horse thieves are really dead?"

Instantly, the atmosphere was quiet again.

It's not that everyone is unwilling to believe it, but that the news came too suddenly.

"Of course they are dead," Quan Erpeng's voice sounded, "Anyway, from today on, everyone doesn't have to worry about encountering horse thieves anymore."

"If that's the case, that's great."

"Yes, I don't know which kind-hearted person killed that group of horse thieves cleanly. What a good person!"

"Yes, yes."

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Chen Fan wanted to laugh when he heard this.

The good man you always mentioned is standing in front of you right now.

However, he still likes to leave after his work is done, hiding his merits and fame.

At this moment, a conversation on the city wall made him shudder and his heart beat faster.

"Wu Bing's group was killed? Impossible?"

A guard said in disbelief: "These guys are very smart. They only attack those who are weaker than them. When they meet tough guys, they take a detour. How could they be killed cleanly?"

"I don't think it's possible. Even if they are unlucky and kick on the iron plate, it shouldn't be difficult for a few people to run away alive? More than 30 people, no one survived?"

"I think that guy is probably bragging."

"Hey? Yang Xiaochun,"

A voice sounded, "Didn't you see the group of horse thieves through the telescope yesterday afternoon?"

In a flash, almost all eyes on the city wall fell on a thin young man who looked to be in his early twenties.

Including Chen Fan.

Yang Xiaochun was listening to the excitement, secretly happy that he was the only one who knew the truth, when someone suddenly asked him this question, which frightened him so much that his face changed.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, the others were full of confusion.

"No, nothing."

Yang Xiaochun forced a smile, licked his lips, and explained: "Yes, in the afternoon, I saw the group of horse thieves through a telescope, but at that time I saw that group of guys were killing people, and the means were extremely cruel. I was scared and pale, and I didn't dare to watch anymore. Even now, when I think about it, I feel scared."

"So that's it."

The person who asked the question apologized: "I'm sorry, Xiaochun, I shouldn't ask you and remind you of what happened yesterday afternoon."

"Xiaochun, your uncle Xu has no ill intentions, he just asked a question, don't take it to heart."

"It's okay, Uncle Xu, it's nothing."

Yang Xiaochun smiled, "Everyone usually takes care of me, how could I take it to heart."

"Hahaha."

The guards all laughed.

"It seems that the incident with the horse thieves happened later."

"Yes, maybe as Xiaochun said, those horse thieves were too cruel, and a certain master couldn't stand it and killed them all."

"I hope so, damn, these horse thieves are like a group of flies, buzzing, it's better to die, so as not to harm others. Once they die, other horse thieves will not dare to come for a short time, and we should be able to have peace for a while."

"I just don't know where the mounts of those horse thieves have gone."

I don't know who said it, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Yang Xiaochun's heart was instantly raised to his throat, and he didn't dare to make any movement, so as not to arouse everyone's suspicion.

"They should have been taken away by the people who killed them?"

Someone took a deep breath and said.

"Yeah, if it were me, I would definitely take those mounts away, they are worth a lot of money."

"More than a lot of money, more than 30 people, more than 30 mounts, more than 100,000, can buy two sniper rifles, with this stuff, go out hunting and encounter intermediate beasts, that's a fortune."

"Hey, what's the point of saying this, it has nothing to do with us."

"That's right, the door is about to open, go back, otherwise the deputy captain will see you and scold you again."

After everyone finished speaking, they went to their guards.

One of the men with a pointed chin stared at Yang Xiaochun's back in front of him, but his eyes showed a strong suspicion.

Is what this kid said true? Is there really such a coincidence? He saw the horse thief killing people, and the horse thief was killed right after he saw him?

Or is this kid lying?

He saw the process of the horse thief being killed, but if that's the case, what can't he say?

Does he know who killed the horse thief?

Then what can't he say?

He was puzzled.

Under the city wall, Chen Fan took a deep look at Yang Xiaochun, then pretended nothing happened and retracted his gaze, and lined up behind the team.

"So, it's you."

He felt a sense of joy as if he had cleared the fog and seen the peaks.

Saw the horse thieves killing people with a telescope yesterday afternoon?

You know, according to Meng Yu's suggestion, this group of horse thieves had been squatting all afternoon, waiting for his group to come out.

And he also said that he was startled.

Didn't this just happen to coincide with his gaze?

Chen Fan suddenly understood. Looking at this situation, this person probably didn't tell others about what happened yesterday afternoon.

It's a small probability that he told the people above.

None of this is too important. What's important is, does this person called Yang Xiaochun know the identity of himself and others?

If he doesn't know, then as long as he and others are careful next time and don't be too ostentatious, there will be no problem.

This is also the result he most expects in his heart.

If he knows, it will be difficult.

Unless this Yang Xiaochun is a kind-hearted person and pretends that nothing has happened.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble will happen next.

According to Murphy's Law, the thing you worry about most is often the most likely to happen.

Only a fool would bet the lives of more than 100 people in the village that the other party is a good person.

"No matter what, finding this person is a good start. Although how to proceed is a difficult problem, as long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more ways than hardships."

Chen Fan took a deep breath and walked slowly forward with the team.
