Urban Witcher

After meeting at the appointed place, the three passengers were stunned when they saw Cuiyun. Ye Shaoyang explained the situation to them, and the three expressed their understanding, and at the same time, they were full of praise for Cuiyun's makeup skills.

According to the previous agreement, the older man rented a horse. After collecting everyone's share money, he put everyone's big salutes on the horse's back, and then led the horse and set off together.

There were five people in total, excluding Ye Shaoyang and Cuiyun, among the other three, the old man in the lead was called Lao Wan, there was a middle-aged man named Chen Maozi, and the other was the guy from the same village as Cuiyun, named Er Dan.

Before setting off, Lao Wan made an agreement with them that if they encounter bandits, everyone will try to pool money together to buy the road, and no one is allowed to play tricks. Generally, bandits will not take all the money for long-term planning, but if the bandits really want to confiscate all For money, everyone must cooperate and must not resist, otherwise the bandits will be annoyed and everyone will be in danger.

Everyone naturally agreed.

The five slipped out from the west gate of the county seat and passed through a field. At first I could still hear the sound of artillery fire coming from outside the south gate of the county seat, but after walking for an hour or two, the sound of artillery fire was not very audible. After going through several villages, the five finally entered the mountainous area and began to climb over mountains...

Until it was dark, there were no inns in this wilderness. The five of them found a deserted village halfway up a mountain, found a few but relatively complete houses, and lived there.

Although Lao Wan knew that there were no bandits in this area, but for the sake of caution, the five of them did not light a fire, each took out dry food, and settled the dinner casually. When Ye Shaoyang sat with them, he thought that he, a hundred years later, would actually be sitting here, driving on the mountain with a group of people from the past. He really had an indescribably wonderful feeling.

The night was passed safely, and the next day continued on the road. After all, Cuiyun is a girl, and although she usually works in the fields at home, she is no match for a man when it comes to climbing mountains and traveling, and she gradually becomes unable to walk. Seeing this, Ye Shaoyang took some of the surname Li from the horse and carried them on his back, and let Cuiyun get on the horse. Naturally, others had no objections, so Cuiyun agreed after some refusal.

According to Lao Wan's plan, they need to walk in the wild for about three or four days, bypass the ground at the junction of the two provinces, enter Xigan Province, and then enter a nearby county in Xigan, and then find a way to rent a carriage and go to their respective places. The place.

On the third day, the weather suddenly turned cloudy this afternoon. The five of them felt bad and planned to find a place to hide from the rain, but before they could find a place, it began to rain. After a long day of rain in the field, several people were still almost drenched.

Fortunately, Ye Shaoyang used impermeable cowhide bags to pack those magic medicines like cinnabar, otherwise these magic medicines would really be ruined.

The five had no choice but to brave the rain in the mud, looking for a place to hide from the rain, and finally found a ruined temple on the mountain, so they went in to hide from the rain.

This is a mountain temple, which has been in disrepair for a long time, and several houses have collapsed. Only the main hall is still intact, and it can hide from the rain at least.

Everyone wanted to find something to make a fire to keep warm, but there was no firewood in the house, and it was raining outside, so it was impossible to find it. Erdan and Chen Maozi set their sights on the statue of the mountain god. The statue of the mountain god was made of wood, and some places had rotted away. Erdan ignored it and went up to get the statue down.

Lao Wan was taken aback, and when he learned of his intentions, he advised him not to do it.

Er Dan is a stupefied young man, he didn't listen to persuasion, and wanted to find something to smash the idol, but Ye Shaoyang stopped him and said: "It's already disturbing us to borrow someone else's place to rest, and it's too inappropriate to smash someone's idol for firewood." .”

Erdan laughed loudly, looked at everyone and said, "I said, everyone, this is the Republic of China, why are you still so superstitious, what kind of god is it, it's all deceptive nonsense!"

Of course, everyone didn't let him smash it, lest the mountain god convict him and hurt himself. They were arguing when there was a sudden sound of footsteps from outside, and the five of them were shocked. When they looked up, they saw a group of men walking in.

All of them were wearing uniforms and carrying guns, and they were all soldiers. They didn't know that there were people in the mountain temple, and they came to hide from the rain. When they saw Ye Shaoyang and others, they were stunned for a moment, and they walked in one by one. A soldier with a goatee who looked like the leader said: "My fellow Where are you guys from?"

"If we go back to the boss, we are on our way." Lao Wan hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, and wanted to take out cigarettes for them. When he took it out, he found that the paper bag that wrapped the tobacco leaves was also leaking, so he had to explain.

These soldiers didn't care, they found a place to sit down, followed the five of them to look at the past, they felt that they were ordinary passers-by, and didn't care much, a few looked at Cuiyun, Cuiyun buried her head in the Between her legs, she pretended to be sleeping, and when a few people saw her thick waist, they were not interested.

These dozen or so soldiers found a dry place to sit down, immediately took off their clothes and wrung out the water, and then, like Ye Shaoyang and the others, looked for firewood everywhere and saw the statue of the mountain god lying on the ground. On the battlefield, without any scruples, they split the statue with the long knife they carried with them. It happened that the straw was filled in the middle of the statue, and it burned at one point. A dozen people took off their clothes and roasted them on the fire, regardless of whether there were women present.

Soldiers are naturally not to be offended, Lao Wan and the others looked at each other, not daring to speak at all.

Ye Shaoyang sat in front of Cuiyun in front of her, watching these barbaric soldiers silently, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

These soldiers not only burned the statue of the mountain god, but also took down the windows and burned them. After a long time of tossing, they finally dried most of the clothes on their bodies, put them on, and sat down to discuss things together.

"Company Commander Wu, what do you think we are going to do? If we run away, if we are caught by the warlord, we will definitely be shot..." a soldier said to the goatee officer.

When Ye Shaoyang heard these words, his heart skipped a beat. This group is actually deserters...

Company Commander Wu thought for a while and said: "At this moment, I can't go back. Brothers have to find a way out. Do you have any good places to go?"

A dozen people discussed it, and one person said in a low voice: "Why don't you go to Heiyunzhai..."

Everyone fell silent immediately.

Company Commander Wu said to the man with a gloomy face, "Little San, you want me to be a bandit?"

Xiaosan clasped her fists and said: "Company Commander Wu, we are all brothers who rolled over together, let me ask everyone, do you want to live?"
