Chapter 44 A false alarm

Yang Shucheng and the other three were hiding behind a big rock. Seeing that the old man and woman were highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word, let alone save Zhao Wen.

Fortunately, soon, the lights in the stone house went out, and the two old men probably lay down to sleep.

It was very quiet everywhere, and making any noise would wake up the sleeping old man and woman. Yang Shucheng and the others did not dare to rescue Zhao Wen, so they discussed rescuing him in a few days.

The three of them were about to move when they saw a figure running towards the stone house on the mountain road in the distance.

Who is not afraid of death and will die!

I saw the figure running closer. He was about 27 or 28 years old. I saw him walking to the stone house and quietly walking to the sheep pen. Two sheep thieves had died without knowing what happened.

Now here comes another one.

The man leaned down and picked up a sheep.

This man was even more greedy than the previous two men. He picked up a sheep and put it on the ground. Then he leaned over to pick out another sheep, and then picked out another sheep. He picked out four sheep in a row, and put them on the ground. on the ground.

He dug out of the sheepfold, found a rope under the eaves, tied a sheep, and walked away. The three sheep followed him, lined up in a line, and walked down the mountain silently.

This is an experienced thief.

As soon as I reached the mountain road, I heard a voice shouting from behind:

"Son, why are you leading the sheep?"

The man turned around and lied to her: "Mom, didn't you blame me for being lazy and not herding sheep? I can't sleep now, so I'm going to herd sheep."

Of course the old woman didn't believe it. She came up angrily, grabbed her son's ears, and shouted, "Did you lose your bet again? Lost four sheep?"

"Yes, yes. Mom, please stop pulling. It hurts." The son couldn't bear it anymore and finally told the truth.

The old woman put down her hand and said, "You still know the pain. If you know the pain, don't gamble."

"I'll go now and I'll definitely win it back tomorrow."

The son took the four sheep and ran away. He turned around and shouted: "Mom, just wait for me, I will definitely win you back."

Before he finished speaking, the man took the four sheep and disappeared without a trace.

Here, the old man walked up to the old woman and sighed: "My son likes to gamble, what should I do?"

"Let's go and see who is so bold as to win against my four sheep."

The two agreed to follow their son's footsteps and walked out of the mountain step by step.

Here, Yang Shucheng and the others watched the old man and woman disappear, and then they hurried to the stone house, took out the key from the window sill, opened the big iron lock, and released Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen was locked up in the stone house. Although he couldn't see the outside, he could hear something terrible happening outside with his ears.

Now that he had released it, without saying much, Yang Shucheng handed over the single sword, and Zhao Wen took it. The four of them ran forward like flying. This time they did not dare to run into the mountains, but towards the old man and the old woman. direction, running all the way to the southeast.

The four of them ran for more than ten miles in one breath, and then they felt safe. They stopped and rested against some trees.

Yang Shucheng just talked about the power of the old couple. Zhao Wen heard this and felt lucky, otherwise he would be like the two Dongchang captains who died and were dragged to feed the wolves.

At dawn, the four of them got up and slowly walked out of the forest. After walking for a while, there was already a house on the mountainside. The three of them found out that they were not far from Wangwu Mountain.

The four of them had dinner in the village, then slowly walked into the mountains and headed northeast.

When I reached the top of the sun, I accidentally turned my head and saw the old man holding a bamboo stick, coming from a distance like flying. If he catches up, the consequences are unimaginable.

Everyone panicked, Yang Shucheng pulled Song Chao, and the four of them hurriedly ran towards the forest.

After running for several miles, they saw that the old man was chasing behind them, and the four of them ran wildly.

I only heard a sound of "Ah..." behind me. I turned around and saw Fatty Ni Chun fell to the ground like a hill and couldn't get up for a long time.

It turned out that he had a sprained foot.

The old man was already chasing him. Yang Shucheng and the two could not ignore Ni Chun and took out their knives and swords to deal with him.

The old man ran forward and shouted: "My defeated general, do you still want to fight?"

He stretched out his bamboo stick and stabbed the two of them. Yang Shucheng and the other two had no choice but to spread their swords and face him. After a few moves, the two were no match.

Yang Shucheng stabbed his sword fiercely and used the move "Houyi Shoots the Sun". The old man also knew the power of this sword and hurriedly dodged it.

Yang Shucheng also took the opportunity to jump aside and shouted: "Old man, you may have misunderstood. Brother Zhao did not steal your sheep. The sheep head was brought by Brother Ni. We can swear to God."

The old man said angrily: "Who will listen to your oath?"

He raised his bamboo stick and stabbed Zhao Wen. It seemed that he was going to make a bloody hole in him.

Yang Shucheng did not dare to neglect, and rushed forward with his sword, blocking the old man's sword.

At this time, Ni Chun also got up, stretched out his giant palm, and grabbed the old man.

The old man was so strong that he shouted "Come here!" and kicked up a mountain of meat, knocking him back three steps.

The old man took advantage of the situation and stepped forward with a bamboo stick between his legs. Ni Chun fell to the ground with a "pass" and could no longer struggle.

Then Zhao Wenting slashed at the old man with his knife, and the two of them were killed together. Yang Shucheng took the opportunity to run over, grabbed Ni Chun's fat hand, and pulled him up.

Unable to defeat the old man, the two prepared to escape. Yang Shucheng came over, pulled Song Chao and ran forward.

When Zhao Wen saw him over there, he turned away from the old man and ran over, so the four of them started running together.

The old man caught up with him like a whirlwind.

The four of them just lowered their heads and ran wildly, regardless of what was behind them.

At this time, a person ran out from the mountain in the distance.

The man was in his forties and held a single sword in his hand. Yang Shucheng looked at him and saw that his left hand was empty. This place is relatively close to Wangwu Mountain. Is he Shang An, the "one-armed swordsman"?

Yang Shucheng was in a hurry and needed to save his life, so he shouted loudly: "Senior Shang, is that you?"

The visitor is Shang An, the "one-armed swordsman".

Shang An ran forward, let Yang Shucheng pass and shouted to the chasing old man:

"Brother Yan, why are you making trouble with the juniors?"

It turns out that this old man's name is "Taihang Weixia" Yan Min.

Yan Min stopped and shouted, "Brother Shang, what's wrong with you? You're running in such a panic."

The "one-armed swordsman" Shang An said: "A few days ago, a group of bandits ran into Qingfeng Temple. Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers chased them and surrounded Qingfeng Temple, vowing to drive out and kill everyone in the temple. We are not Opponent, I will risk jumping off the cliff and look for people to rescue me. I was just looking for you, why did you catch up with the young man? "

Yan Min said: "I don't want to embarrass these juniors. I have taken a fancy to this brat and am teasing them to see how qualified he is? I want to accept an apprentice."

It turns out that Yan Min's son is unlucky, can't bear hardships, and is addicted to gambling. His lifelong knowledge has no one to inherit. Seeing that Zhao Wen has some spirituality, he plans to accept him as his disciple.

Zhao Wen had seen Yan Min's martial arts with his own eyes, and when he heard that he would be accepted as his disciple, he was so happy that he wanted to accept him as his disciple. He immediately knelt on the ground and said:

"Master, my disciple has kowtowed to you..."

Yang Shucheng realized that they were a family, and thinking about the entrustment of "Iron Mantis" Jiang Chang, he said: "Senior Shang, I have something to say..."

Na Shang'an said: "The matter is urgent, saving people is like putting out fire. Since we are a family, let's go to Qingfeng Temple to save people."

So, the three groups gathered together and ran toward the northeast.

Ni Chun's foot was sprained and he couldn't run anywhere, but everyone was more concerned with saving people, so they ignored him and allowed him to limp behind.

Led by the "one-armed swordsman" Shang An, everyone lowered their heads and ran towards Qingfeng Temple. People kept joining in along the way. They were all helpers that Shang An had found. Because they were single and weak, they waited by the road.

Now that there are many people, they continue to run towards Qingfeng Temple. After running for more than two miles, I saw several houses, like palaces, looming in the white clouds on a lonely peak in the distance. This is the Qingfeng Temple on Wangwu Mountain.

There is only one stone path up the mountain, surrounded by overhanging cliffs. If you fall, you will only be broken into pieces.

I saw that the narrow mountain road was crowded with officers and soldiers, who were attacking upwards, shouting for killing. Looking at the situation, Qingfeng Guan would not be able to defend it in the blink of an eye.
