A gentleman is not a group

Early the next morning, Zhou Chi summoned all the people to be arranged in the courtyard of the government office, and explained all the matters to be paid attention to in as much detail as possible.He didn't let Xie Jianmian follow him, he insisted on doing it himself.

Xie Jianmian understood his consideration, didn't say much, just gave Zhou Chi a superficial kiss before leaving, and then said very gently and solemnly that he was waiting for him to come back.

Reminiscing about that short kiss, Zhou Chi touched his lips, as if there was still Xie Jianmian's warm breath on them.

It was not until the evening that Zhou Chi took a group of people to the place where the waterway could go ashore. This time, not only the policemen were dispatched, but the manpower was far from enough. Even the government soldiers went with them, but like the other policemen, all Listen to Zhou Zhi's deployment.

The rays of the setting sun can well illuminate the surface of the water, allowing them to swim through the groundwater in an orderly manner, but at the same time it will not be too bright, giving the possibility of hiding for those who need to hide.

Because I knew in advance that I would take the waterway, the people who came here were all good at water, and the waterway was not long, so I arrived at the exit of the secret road after a while.

A group of people were extremely careful to hide in the darkness, and their footsteps were so soft that they could hardly be heard.

During this period of time, no one had come to the secret passage. When Zhou Chi and Xie Jianmian accidentally triggered the mechanism, the arrows were still on the ground, and there were even dried blood.

Zhou Chi thought of the previous scene when he saw it, his eyes darkened.

The secret passage was dark and tortuous, and everyone's faces were solemn. When they reached the end, no one spoke.

In the future, Zhou Chi's people will be divided into two groups, a group of arresters and a group of government soldiers. Since the number of arresters is relatively small, the government soldiers in the government office account for the majority. Ladies and gentlemen, I will take the arresters out to burn the mountain first, and the brothers are waiting here, when the people from the Rin Gang come in from the secret passage, they will attack back and forth."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Chi led the policemen back to the secret road, walked the waterway once more, and then re-entered through the smoke willow forest.

The reason for this is that apart from distracting attention, there is another factor, that is, the designer of the secret passage may have used means when building the secret passage out of caution. Once the door of the secret passage is closed, it can only be opened from the outside. Open it, but not from the other end of the secret passage.

Therefore, if you want to go out, judging from the current situation, you can only enter again through the Yanliu Forest.

The remaining number of arresters is small, and it is not so dangerous to re-enter the Seven Star Formation.

This time without Xie Jianmian, Zhou Chi could only rely on the memory of that day and lead the rest of the policemen to move forward cautiously. It was night, and the smoke and willow forest was still foggy, but there was one person missing around him.

Zhou Chi told the rest of the people not to touch the branches and leaves of the weeping willows, and then groped through them one by one, trying to find the seven trees at the eye of the formation.

At this moment, a policeman was in a panic and didn't see the road clearly. He stepped on something and staggered forward, bumping into Zhou Chi's back.

Zhou Chi was knocked forward and subconsciously grabbed the weeping willow beside him. The colorless and odorless powder instantly covered his hands and spread out faintly.

The policeman realized that he had made a mistake, hurriedly supported Zhou Chi, and said in a panic: "Boss, it's all my fault, what can you do now!"

Zhou Chi frowned and looked at his hands, shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's find the way first."

Xie Jianmian said that the more flustered a person is, the easier it is to be affected by this Mishen Powder, but he doesn't have any emotional ups and downs right now, so he won't be affected too much in the future.

After making up his mind, Zhou Chi continued to move forward.

But just after walking a few steps, Zhou Chi realized that he had underestimated the power of this Mishen Powder, and he began to feel a little blurry in front of his eyes.

In order not to affect other people's emotions, Zhou Zhiqiang held on and didn't show anything. Fortunately, it was night, and the fog in the willow forest was thick, so no one noticed Zhou Chi's closed eyes and sweaty face.

He couldn't see anything clearly at this time, and closing his eyes could reduce the disturbance, and he tried to focus on the entity touched by his hands. He suddenly felt very hot, not from the inside out, but like the weather. It changed suddenly, and suddenly entered the dog days, and the turbid heat made him drowsy.

Zhou Chi shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of this bad feeling.

At this time, a policeman noticed his strangeness and tentatively asked, "Boss, are you alright?"

The voice seemed to come from an extremely distant place through some thick barrier. Is someone talking to him? Zhou Chi thought for a long time before he understood this sentence belatedly, maintaining the last Sober replied: "I'm fine, let's go."

He knew that his current situation was actually not suitable for leading the way, but no one could find the formation except him.

And once other people find out that something is wrong with him, it will easily cause more serious consequences, so Zhou Chi can only endure it.

The footsteps gradually became vacant, and the place he passed seemed to be soaked in hot oil, and hissing heat came out.

His eyes were red with blood. In the unbearable pain and suffering, he once again returned to the fire 17 years ago, even though he had never actually seen it with his own eyes.

There were countless chaotic footsteps and cries in my ears, knives and swords collided, and something collapsed in the crackling, smashing an immature heart with a bang.

No, stop thinking about it, stop it!

Zhou Chi's breathing became heavy, his soul was being tortured like being pulled, reality and fantasy were intertwined, he tried hard to get away, but he could only watch the little boy open the cellar door and walk out .

Don't go out, don't look at...

Zhou Chi is still walking forward, he seems to have become a marionette, all actions are without thinking, just forward, forward without meaning, and apart from constantly moving forward, his chaotic mind is really I can't think of a second thing to do.

The little boy is going out soon.

Zhou Zhi had a splitting headache, and only one thought remained, to stop him, stop him before he saw everything.

Otherwise, this terrible illusion will definitely pull him into the bottomless past, then everything between them tonight will be over!

But what was he going to do tonight?

Zhou Zhi thought dully, and then he found that he could no longer think of what he was going to do, and all his goals became one, to stop that child.

Those immature hands had already supported the door panel, and they were about to open the door and go out in the next moment!

No... Zhou Chi suddenly quickened his pace, but in fact he just moved slowly, his hand passing through the boy's phantom body without grabbing anything.

At this time, he suddenly heard someone calling his name, not from outside, but like a voice deeply engraved in his heart, that voice called him: "Zhou Chi..."

"The shed blood will not wash away the grievances by itself, but the dead will be watched in the sky. They are all waiting for an explanation. Zhou Chi, you have to give it to them, whether it is your relatives or someone else..."

Yes, confess, he still has a lot of things to do, and he has to explain to many people.

Zhou Chi panted heavily, and then he saw a figure walking behind the boy, gently covering his eyes, pulling him back, and then turning back to smile at Zhou Chi.

That's... Xie Jianmian...

It's Ah Mian, his Ah Mian...

A gust of wind suddenly sucked into his nostrils, Zhou Chi coughed violently, the heat around his body had completely disappeared, and there was no fire or lingering red in front of his eyes, only the weeping willows standing quietly in the dark night and the ubiquitous mist.

It wasn't until the tears were coughed out of the corners of his eyes that Zhou Chi calmed down.

The police officers were taken aback, and they all gathered around to ask about Zhou Chi's situation. Zhou Chi waved his hand and comforted him, "I was choked, it's nothing serious."

It's just that the voice is still hoarse.

The rest of the journey went much smoother. Zhou Chi quickly found the eye of the formation with his own memory. When the rest of the policemen saw the scene of stars and moon shining above the eye of the formation, they couldn't help but exclaimed. Everyone was relieved. Taking a deep breath, I have never felt that the sky full of stars is so beautiful.

Zhou Chi smiled tolerantly, and walked in the direction guided by the Big Dipper.

This not-so-good journey is finally over.

The Rin Gang was built on the hillside, and except for the Yanliu Forest, they were all backed by mountains, thus creating a situation that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

But the weakness is also obvious. When there is a problem inside, how a large group of people can get out becomes a problem.

There may or may not be a road on the mountain.That's why Zhou Chi came up with the idea of ​​playing tricks on the mountain. Once the barrier of the mountain is lost, the secret path becomes the best choice when the Yanliu forest is extremely unsuitable for many people to walk.

Zhou Chi gathered the arresters together, and ordered: "Now everyone separates, and when the fire is almost ready, we will meet here. Remember not to linger, so as not to trap your own people."

After everyone had left, Zhou Chi walked into the room, opened the door of the secret passage, and closed the door again after confirming that the soldiers inside were all ready, quietly waiting for the moment when everything was ready.

The Rin Gang will patrol every night, but there are not many people. They are very confident in the location they have chosen and the surrounding barriers, and they think that no one will be able to break through, let alone a large group of people.

Therefore, when the patrolling people saw the sporadic lights emerging from the foot of the mountain that night, they didn't think about man-made things.

They just woke up the people in those places in a panic and scrambled to get water to put out the fire.

Unexpectedly, the fire looked small, but it was difficult to put out, and it tended to intensify. It happened that there was still some wind that night, blowing the fire all the way, until the first beam of fire burned to the house at the foot of the mountain. Only the gang members realized that perhaps the fire could not be controlled.

At this time, a strong man came out of a room, who looked like the leader. He frowned and looked at the burning fire and the people running back and forth with water, and his expression was obviously displeased.

Seeing that the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction, the leader shouted loudly: "Go! Go through the secret road!"

The person carrying the wooden barrel sprinkled water all over the ground, and the people who came out of each house ran in panic, and all flocked to the quiet secret passage beside it, which was far away from the fire source and would not be affected for the time being.

The rest of the policemen came back, surrounded Zhou Chi, nervously watching the running around of the Lin gang.

In the darkness, Zhou Zhi slowly raised the corners of his lips.
