Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 3 Wandering
(3)

Just when Zhao Kuo was remorseful and puzzled, a group of Han soldiers who were tired physically and mentally were excited to find a brightly lit home.

A small man with strong legs ran ahead, and when it was confirmed that the place was indeed brightly lit, he ran back immediately.In the woods a few miles away, a group of Han soldiers were resting.

Most of the thirty or so people were wounded soldiers. Among them, three or four soldiers had mutilated limbs and could only lie down in a temporary "camp".The so-called "camp" is just a simple bed made of dead branches and leaves, with branches extending from the forest as the roof, surrounded by a fire, one after another coughing and the sound of the breeze interweaving in the night sky. .

The soldiers did not dare to speak aloud, and most of them were discussing issues such as: what to do when the food runs out, and what to do with the injured brothers.

Some people are begging to the sky for a drink to moisten their stomachs; some people are catching bugs to feed their hunger.Most of them sat on the ground around the campfire, with only a few guarding the perimeter.

A tall and burly soldier with a moustache on his lips and cheeks stood up, shook the fallen leaves and dust on his body, picked up the machete on his right hand, and slashed at the bamboo bush on his left, "Shh! "After a sound, Qingzhu fell down.When everyone heard the news, the soldier looked firm and decisive, and said, "We finally escaped from the Hu people, escaped the interception of the pursuers, and must not fall here! Xiao Jiu who went to explore the way. Will be back soon."

A tall and thin soldier with a pointed face and a wide forehead stood up and replied, "Brother is right, you all risked your life to flee, didn't you just want to get gold and silver treasures, brocade clothes and jade food, and no longer be called by those barbarians? Now we can connect one I didn't even see the copper, so we must not let all our achievements go to waste!"

Xiao Jiu, who was exploring the road, did not rest on the way back, so he quickly returned to the camp.When he was about to get there, the "rustling" sound he made as he quickly stepped on the dead leaves on the ground first alerted the soldiers, and then his thick voice, which was extremely disproportionate to his stature, reached everyone's ears: "Big brother! Big brother! There is indeed a house in front, and it's also an inn!" Xiao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Everyone, pack up and leave immediately!"

The morale of the crowd, which had been low at first, seemed to have recovered a lot.Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jiu was present, leading the crowd to Bai Feng's direction.

Thirty people with tired bodies, driven by hunger and thirst, arrived at the door of Xiangyangpo Inn in just half a stick of incense.

Ah Bian just took over the job of the shopkeeper, and he was complaining in his heart: I didn't sleep well tonight, and I still have to watch the door, obviously there is no way anyone will come!Then he slumped to the place where the shopkeeper usually sat, and fell asleep.

"Da da da da..." Suddenly there were cluttered footsteps outside the door, but Ah Bian didn't notice it, but Zhao Kuo, the rich young master, had a keen sense of hearing. After hearing the sound, he opened the paper window at the end of the bed and saw the soldiers.Then, having doubts in his heart, he went to the cubicle to find Bai Feng to discuss.

Zhao Kuo walked out of his room, took two big steps, and reached the door of Bai Feng's room quickly and without making any sound. He knocked lightly on the door three times, "Dong, dong." The door had been opened, and the unprepared Zhao Kuo was startled.As soon as Zhao Kuo entered the door, he crept to the window and said softly to Bai Feng, "I never thought that Brother Bai Feng would be sleepless at night like me, or would be awakened by the sound outside?"

Bai Feng nodded lightly, indicating that he would elaborate later, "The most urgent task is to understand what these dozens of people want to do!" The eyes of the two followed the figures in the dark night and entered the inn, only to see some people. Staying outside the stack to rest in place, it seems that they are all injured to varying degrees, and their actions are very unfavorable.Immediately, the two moved to the door and closed a door to eavesdrop on the situation outside.

The soldiers outside the inn walked into the inn, and Xiao Jiu took the lead.Xiao Jiu stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door lightly, "Is there anyone?" Then he looked around, only to see a few candles emitting dim light, so that the two people facing each other could barely distinguish who was who.The broken tables and chairs were randomly placed, covered with a layer of thick gray, as if no guests were welcome.

Xiao Jiu sighed inwardly and comforted herself, saying, "It's good to have a place to stay when escaping..." Then, she heard the sound of snoring, followed the sound, and saw Ah Bian who was already asleep.

Xiao Jiu immediately waved to everyone to go inside, and at the same time wanted to wake up the inn clerk who was already in the dream.He patted it with his hand, but he didn't wake up; the second time, he still didn't wake up; the third time, Xiao Jiu pushed hard and almost pushed Ah Bian to the ground. Fortunately, Ah Bian supported the armchair while being pushed. handle.

A-Bian rubbed his still-open eyes, and asked, "Who is it?" Xiao Jiu cooperated to bring his face up, making A-Bian scream "Ah" in shock.This sound also attracted the soldiers who had entered the inn to rest to look in that direction.

"We want to ask for some food and drinks. I don't know if I would like..." Xiao Jiu said while stroking the leather scabbard of the short blade around his waist.

A-Bian first heard the sound of the collision between the armor and the blade, and then randomly followed the sound to look in the direction Xiao Jiu's rough fingers were touching, and then he realized that the real military master is here, "Ke...Keguan, you... How many of you are there?"

"Not much, just thirty or so people."

"Three... Thirty?" Ah Bian was so scared that his tongue trembled, and he almost didn't roll it up, "Then you have to find the shopkeeper, we are running out of food."

"Then call your shopkeepers out!" A tall man with a long beard and a face roared, "Don't be slow, my brothers haven't had a good meal for a long time!" on the table in front of Ah Bian.Ah Bian was so frightened that he made a very sharp and strange noise. He curled up on the chair where the shopkeeper usually sat, and covered his head with his hands.

After a tossing, the door of the room next to the stairs opened, and the shopkeeper was in front of the door, arranging his clothes in a panic.

"Bring the best and most mellow wine in your store, our thirty-something brothers are waiting!" The tall man pushed away Xiao Jiu, who was about to answer, and answered first.

The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, coughed twice, and asked in a slightly lower voice than before, "I wonder if you have enough coils?"

"How dare you ask us to entangle us!" The man with a long beard and a face seemed very angry, he stepped forward and grabbed the shopkeeper's collar, and said angrily, "If we hadn't fought on the front line, would you be able to live happily here? "

The shopkeeper was strangled very painfully. His eyes widened, his face full of fear, and his toes were barely on tiptoe to maintain his balance. He said, "This... No one can be safe in this world!" Help, can only sit there dumbfounded.

Suddenly, the door of the room next to the two Xianbei people was opened during the day, and a short and fat alien warrior came out first, and shouted and scolded: "It was annoying music just now, and now it's a quarrel, do you still want to let people go? Sleep well!"

The soldier with a sharp face and a wide forehead walked towards the bearded man who was venting his anger, and whispered, "Big brother, he is from Xianbei, and he looks exactly like the group of people who were chasing us!"

"Xianbei?" He put down the shopkeeper who was almost suffocated by his collar, and turned to face the alien warrior, "Xianbei! It's you Hu people who invaded our land; plundered our money and food; slaughtered and occupied our women and children! Now we are still forcing our brothers to such a state!" After speaking, he took out the single knife erected on the wooden table, pointed at the Xianbei people in front of him, and ordered, "Encircle him!"

A tall and thin figure sprang from behind Xianbei in front of him, and said slowly and deliberately: "Hmph, what you said, we brothers have never done it, but you Han people are doing what you despise right now. thing?"

"Don't think you can speak Chinese, it's not the hateful Xianbei, a group of savage scum!" The soldier with a sharp face and a wide forehead fought back, "Brother, we should take this opportunity to teach them a good lesson!" With the sword in a fighting posture, the Xianbei warriors would not show weakness, and the two showed their weapons one after another to prepare for the battle.

In the encirclement, neither side dared to act rashly.A Han soldier wanted to sneak attack from the side. Unexpectedly, he hadn't eaten normally to replenish his physical strength for many days, and his hands and feet could not keep up with his thoughts. The tall and thin alien warrior saw his intention.

The Xianbei warrior stepped back to avoid the stabbing attack, lowered his center of gravity and lowered his horse's stride, twisting his waist and hips and swinging the sword horizontally.In the blink of an eye, the chest of the Han soldier was cut alive, and blood spurted out immediately after he fell, splashing on the nearby earthen wall, and his internal organs were faintly visible in the dim candlelight.

This knife broke open together with the man and the armor. It was full of strength, and the knife body did not get too much blood, which shows the superb skills of the person who made the knife.

The Xianbei warrior then sighed, and wanted to deter other soldiers, saying, "I haven't used a knife to anyone for a long time, so I'll take you to practice my hands today!"

The soldiers did not dare to act rashly, and wanted to surround the two warriors with the advantage of their numbers, and they would be wiped out when they revealed their flaws.
