Chapter 393 Ning Caichen

On a main road outside Crane City, far away from the crowds and few pedestrians, even if there are a few people who come and go occasionally, most of them are in a hurry.

Before they had time to make fun of a watchman who was holding a lantern in broad daylight, they hurried away.

Li Pu had been on the road for several hours, and Crane City was almost invisible.

The road gradually turned into a small road, and the road became more and more steep until it reached a mountain.

In front of the road is a steep cliff of 500 meters and [-] meters. Although the mountain is not high, it is connected together. If you want to continue walking this road, you have to walk into the mountain.

But the forest on the mountain is so lush that people can't see clearly what's in the depths. In this era of banditry, this place really makes passers-by fear.

On the other side is a lake. If you want to get out of here, you have to go up the mountain and get out of the mountain road, or take a boat and cross the mountain by water.

Li Pu stood in front of the mountain with a lantern in his hand, and he didn't do anything. He just held up the lantern in front of his eyes, as if he wanted to illuminate the dark mountain road with the lantern in his hand.

At this moment, a small boat came from nowhere on the lake.

A boatman stood on the boat and shouted to Li Pu.

"Guest officer over there, you must not enter the mountain."

The boatman walked towards Li Pu while shouting.

"Why don't you let me into this mountain?"

Li Pu turned around and asked.

"The guest officer may be an outsider who doesn't know. Since five years ago, a group of robbers came to Wo Niu Mountain. The leader is called a skinning ghost. If someone enters the mountain and has no money, they will peel off their skins and hang them in the village. forward."

"Oh? The government doesn't care?"

"Well, this place is at the junction of Crane City and Lian City. Occasionally, the government of the two places will bring hundreds of yamen servants to encircle and suppress. Although the mountain is not big, it stretches for tens of miles. There are hundreds of thousands of people. There is a way to catch them, after several years, people here call this mountain Bopi Mountain, and this road is the road of beheading, which shows the danger."

Seeing what the boatman said was dangerous, Li Pu became a little interested.

"So they are very vicious?"

"It's fierce!"

Seeing what the boatman said, Li Pu walked into the woods with a lantern in hand. Seeing Li Pu walking into the mountain, the boatman was stunned.

"Oh, sir..."

Before the boatman finished speaking, Li Pu's figure was already covered by trees.

Seeing that Li Pu had already walked into the woods, the boatman stamped his feet, a little annoyed.

At this moment, two naked people climbed up from the water on the other side of the boat. They held daggers in their hands and strode towards the boatman.

One of the strong-looking men tied the dagger to his belt and said to the boatman angrily.

"Old dog, did you tell people to eat bandao noodles and wontons again? You have to go to the center of the river to talk about it. Then he won't be able to escape. Why don't you listen?"

"I didn't. I told him that there are flayers and those bastards in the mountain. I didn't expect him to walk in with a smile after hearing it. Huh! I wonder if he can still laugh after a while."

The boatman known as the old dog was obviously a little bit aggrieved. What happened today? He was looking for two people in a row, but both of them rejected him...

…………

This mountain road is indeed a bit difficult to walk, even if you are riding a horse, you can only dismount and walk.

Moreover, the trees here have lush branches and leaves, that is, it is late autumn, and the lush leaves have fallen all over the ground, otherwise there will be no sunlight.

The faint rays of light made the mountain forest gray, and Li Pu's lantern turned out to be the brightest light source at this time.

Li Pu walked into the depths of the woods step by step, and the woods beside the road were not as quiet as before, as if some large animal was stepping on the thick fallen leaves.

"Ok?"

A person appeared in front of Li Pu. This person was ugly, and there was a scar extending from the corner of his eye to his chin. He looked extremely vicious.

Seeing Li Pu standing still, he walked towards Li Pu with a steel knife.

Walking in front of Li Pu, he was not polite, and stretched out his hand to Li Pu's arms. Li Pu frowned, but held back.

The man groped for a long time and found nothing, so he withdrew his hand.

"Unlucky, he's as poor as a ghost, someone will bring him back to the cottage, and wait for the weather to get cold."

Several people ran out from the woods on both sides, and saw that Li Pu had nothing on him except a lantern and a sickle, and Li Pu looked very thin.

He didn't take Li Pu to heart, just took away the sickle, but let Li Pu hold the lantern.

Many robbers pointed in one direction to signal Li Pu to go by himself, so they could save trouble and not have to carry Li Pu.

While walking on the road, Li Pu suddenly said.

"Do you think this strong man is a flayer?"

The bandit with the scar on his face couldn't help being a little proud when he saw that Li Pu knew his name.

"It's Grandpa. You know Grandpa's name and dare to venture into the mountains?"

"I thought it was the boatman's trick to fool me into taking his boat, but it turned out to be true."

There was a look of fear on Li Pu's face, but in the dark woods, he always felt like he was grinning.

"The boatman? Then where is the boatman? That man is a water thief on the river named Old Dog. He used the name of the boatman to bring people to the center of the river. He stripped his clothes and threw them into the river. Fortunately, you met me. You can live a few more days, if you get on his boat, you can drink river water today, hahaha."

The Skinning Ghost looked very forthright, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Soon, Li Pu knew why the skinning ghost was in a good mood.

A group of people came to a cottage. The cottage looked very simple, but it had everything. On the most central square, a group of robbers were shouting for something.

When I took a closer look, I found that they were stewing horse meat. There was no horse in this place, so they probably snatched this horse.

I don't know which unlucky guy was robbed by this gang of vicious bandits.

These bandits didn't let Li Pu stay outside, but sent Li Pu to a self-made prison cell.

This cell is not big, only about ten square meters.

"Go in!"

The robber pushed Li Pu into the cell, and then closed the door with a bang.

"Ok?"

After entering, Li Pu found that there was actually a person in the corner. It seemed that this person was the unlucky guy whose horse was robbed.

Li Pu stepped forward and turned the person over, only to realize that this person was not the scholar who reminded him to turn off the lights at the gate of the city.

"Wake up, wake up."

Under Li Pu's slap, the scholar woke up slowly, seeing him wake up, Li Pu also heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems that it was because of his fierce resistance that he was knocked out by these robbers.

"Where is this place?"

"The bandit camp."

"Then you are."

"Fan Zhe who was tied back by them."

Seeing the scholar beating the ground in pain, Li Pu didn't say much. After he calmed down, Li Pu asked.

"What's your name?"

Li Pu felt that this scholar was not simple, he was very handsome, and he always felt a little familiar.

Seeing Li Pu's questioning, the scholar sat on the ground and said weakly.

"Xiaosheng Ning Caichen..."
