After dressing as a widow

A carrying basket and a bag of food, in Lin Zhen's eyes worried that he would not be able to carry it, Zhong Yan held Grandma Zhong with one hand and a stick for support in the other, so as not to accidentally fall down.

Brother Lin and Brother Lin originally wanted to send their grandparents and grandchildren to the town, but Zhong Yan refused. He had already troubled the Lin family a lot, but he did what he could do by himself.

Lin Zhen watched Zhong Yan and Grandma Zhong disappear on the mountain ridge, and when he returned to the house, he saw Lin Xiaoyao cleaning the stove with a small broom specially designed for sweeping the stove, and even removing the spider webs from the pillars. up.

From the moment Zhong Yan proposed to leave, he didn't turn around to take a look, just doing his own thing.

Naturally, Lin Zhen didn't mention it, and cleaned up the stove with Lin Xiaoyao. He asked Lin Xiaoyao, "Do you have any clues about the route you said a few days ago and the goods you want to buy?"

"I've finished writing the plan, and I'll show it to Brother San now." Lin Xiaoyao put the broom away, turned around and went to the room to get the written plan.

Lin Zhen took it and looked carefully.

And the person with the tenth small flag, and Gu Lin, who went to other villages to inform the refugee army that the refugee army had been wiped out, and Gu Lin, who had come out of Wayao Village, took advantage of the opportunity to go to two more remote villages. Go to the mountains.

Along the way, they climbed over mountains and ridges, and there was not an inch of flat ground under their feet.

But according to the most remote village before, people who were not from their village were seen on the road looking for firewood, and those people were probably the people who evacuated here from the town.

The huge broad knife in Gu Lin's hand chopped open the vines in front of them, and glanced at the sun in the sky: "At noon, rest here for a quarter of an hour and move on."

There are dry leaves and grass everywhere in the woods. Wherever you go, you will be covered with leaf fragments, which adds a bit of annoying boredom to the dryness and heat on your body.

Huang Yuwen, who was almost left behind, sat down on the ground, grabbed the water bag on his body, unplugged it, and took a small sip of water: "We have been walking from that village for half an afternoon and a morning, and we are still alone. I haven’t seen it, and I don’t know where those people in the town have gone.”

Wang Qin was a little better than him, but he was also sweating profusely. He fanned the air with his hands and said dryly: "The road is getting more and more difficult to walk. It doesn't look like someone has walked by."

"Gu Lin, those villagers wouldn't have lied to us, would they?"

The weather was hot, the road was difficult to walk, and they didn't bring much dry food and water. If they couldn't find anyone, they would have to go back home in two days at most.

Gu Lin picked up a leaf on the ground: "The villagers didn't lie to us, there are indeed traces of people's activities here."

"But it's been a long time, so it's hard to see the difference with the naked eye. After resting, let's go in this direction." Gu Lin pointed to the front left, and there was no way to see at all. The woods are slightly sparser than other places .

He sent a message, and the others didn't agree, so hurry up to drink water and eat, then rest for a while, and hurry to the direction he pointed.

Suddenly, Gu Lin, who was walking in the front, raised his hand: "Hidden."

The people of the tenth banner immediately searched for tree trunks or bushes to hide their bodies. Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen were a little flustered, but they calmed down quickly, and they hid behind a big rock together.

They didn't know what happened, and they didn't dare to show their positions. They could only look at Gu Lin and follow his instructions.

And Gu Lin made a gesture that everyone in Tenth Xiaoqi knew, quietly unloaded the broadsword and bow and arrow, and groped forward alone.

Just now he heard a slight swaying sound of leaves. The sound was different from the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, but the sound made by branches being driven by people's bodies and bouncing backwards.

In this forest, I don't know who is ahead, so to be on the safe side, Gu Lin went to the front to explore the way first.

The soft soles of the cloth shoes stepped on places with relatively few leaves to reduce the risk of being discovered. Gu Lin quickly walked forward about 300 meters.

At this moment, he was standing behind a tall tree. In the forest in front of him, there was a group of people walking forward. Looking at their clothes and holding swords that ordinary people could never hold, they were a group of refugees who fled. military.

There are more than a dozen of them, and none of them are in good condition.

The leader Gu Lin had seen before, that is, in the village behind the Majin River, he had once seen in the refugee army the bandit leader with the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and the appearance of a mouse.

Li Tianwang was dead, but he escaped.

At this time, the bandit leader with the appearance of a mouse turned violent, licked his chapped lips viciously and asked the refugee army standing in front of him: "Are you sure, there is someone in front?"

"Yes, the third family, there is a group of people who escaped from nowhere in the valley five or six hundred meters away from us. It looks like there is plenty of food and luxurious clothes. There are many girls and brothers in there. "

"Damn it!" Hearing that there was a fat sheep in front of him, the bandit leader who looked like a mouse spit hard. He never thought that more than 2000 of them would be forced to this point by the 400 people in Anyuan Town. Well, if he hadn't been watching and listening to all directions all the time, he might have been beheaded just like Li Tianwang.

And in order to avoid the search and killing of those soldiers in Anyuan Town, he could only take the dozen or so people closest to him to the remote mountains, and he didn't dare to touch the villages along the way, for fear of being found.

Now he finally didn't have the fear of being beheaded at any time, and it would be best to have a fat sheep delivered to his door.

"Let's go, catch the fat sheep and feed us. It's been a long time since we've seen meat."

"Yes!"

These refugee soldiers have long followed Li Tianwang and others to do all kinds of bad things, burning, killing, looting, and even becoming addicted, all of them have crazy expressions on their faces.

Standing behind the tree, Gu Lin swept back very lightly, and quickly reached the place where Tenth Xiaoqi, Wang Qin, Huang Yuwen and others were hiding.

"A group of 14 refugee troops, they found the people 800 meters ahead, and they were going there. Everyone followed up as fast as possible. Remember, you can't startle the snake before you find the people. Kill these fourteen refugee troops."

The Tenth Xiaoqi people who stayed here were Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen, who didn't expect to meet the refugee army. Zhang Tie and the others were fine, after all, they had already dealt with the refugee army in the mountains and forests.

Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen's impression of the refugee army is still that they were scattered by the refugee army, and the overwhelming pursuit of refugees fleeing famine.

Gu Lin said: "Wang Qin Huang Yuwen, you are at the end, as long as you can barely see the route we are traveling on, your footsteps are slightly heavy, which may arouse the other party's vigilance, and the tenth flag is behind me."

"Walk."

He walked in the front, Zhang Tie and the tenth Xiaoqi people followed behind him, and Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen were at the end.

Zhang Tie and the others also saw [-] refugee troops in front of them after a while, no more than one less. Someone from this group of refugee soldiers had explored the road, and they were very familiar with the road conditions ahead and had a clear goal.

The distance of 600 meters is very short, especially these refugee troops can't wait to swallow the people here, they are almost flying, and they have reached the top of the col in the blink of an eye. Standing in their position, they can already Clearly see the people gathered in the col.

There were quite a few people, about two hundred people, and the people inside were dressed exactly as the vagrant army who explored the road said, very neat and luxurious, and there were several beautiful girls and young brothers in the crowd.

The man with the appearance of a mouse lingered on the girl and brother, and he raised the knife in his hand: "Hahahahaha, I didn't expect such a good place to exist, I want to kill twenty or thirty of them! "

In the empty mountain, the sudden sound reached the ears of the people who fled here in panic. When they saw the refugee army emerging from the top of the mountain ridge, their faces turned pale, and they managed to maintain a peaceful state. The crowd exploded suddenly, and men, women and children ran around.

Gu Lin, who was following this group of refugee soldiers, took off the bow and arrow on his back very quickly, and the arrow with white tail feathers pierced the throat of the man who looked like a mouse, and he couldn't die. Die again.

Seeing this, Zhang Tie and the others rushed forward immediately.

This group of refugee soldiers thought they had escaped far enough to do evil. They didn't expect that there would be people to deal with them here. When the bandit leader died, he still didn't realize it. When he heard the dense footsteps behind him, he immediately pulled away his steps and ran away. .

But the Tenth Small Banners who had been trained all the year round were already stronger than them, and the two sides had about the same number of people, so they were all cut to the ground by the Tenth Small Banners as soon as they met each other.

Those fleeing civilians also saw what happened here. Seeing the refugee army appear and be killed, some of them came back to their senses quickly: "Then, could it be those soldiers in the town?"

"It must be, if it wasn't for the military man, how could he have dealt with the refugee army so neatly!"

The people running around stopped suspiciously, suddenly, a middle-aged man saw the leader Gu Lin, and waved his hand high: "Gu Lin, Gu Lin, the county magistrate is here, and the Lord wants you to come here! "

The one who waved was not the old butler of the county government office.

Gu Lin didn't expect them to be so lucky to meet the county magistrate. He wiped off the blood on the knife, put the knife on his back again, walked down the mountain, and came to the old housekeeper.

The old butler saw him as if he saw the savior, and the wrinkles on his face turned into flowers: "Just now I thought it was my eyes, but I didn't expect it to be Gu Xiucai. What's the situation outside? Do you still need to go on?" Go to the mountains."

While talking, the old housekeeper led Gu Lin to the middle of the crowd, and arrived in front of the magistrate.

It's only been posted for half a month, and I was still a little rich.The county magistrate's face was sallow, and the skin on his face was drooping, and he was more than seven or eight years old.

Gu Lin bowed his hands to the magistrate and saluted: "Gu Lin pays homage to your lord."

He has a reputation as a scholar, which shows that officials do not kneel.
