The sword is the devil

Chapter 62
Do these people deserve to die?
The Daoist sect has the methods of the Daoist sect, and the demonic sect has the methods of the demonic sect. This is why the Quanzhen sect is called a demon. They lack tolerance.

These people, of course, can't invite Quanzhen sect monks to protect them. They are stinky shit now, and no one wants to touch them;

All the cultivation objects in the families of these prisoners were confiscated to fill the holes left by them, and only some yellow and white objects were allowed to be taken away. How could casual cultivators like these things?
Li Duwei's move may be because he can't bear it, or it may be to teach him a lesson in acting impulsively, or both; so he was assigned such a suitable task at the right time, knowing that he will definitely be here Hit this group of people.

These people didn't know him, but he couldn't pretend they had nothing to do with him.

There are a total of 23 people. The key point is that there are not many strong men, and they are all women, children and the elderly. How do they get around in the poplar forest?The poplar forest is tens of kilometers wide on average. With its poor ground conditions, these people may not be able to go out in a day without those ferocious monsters, and the night will greatly increase the frequency of activities of the creatures in the forest...

Seeing that Hou Tiao was still frowning, the old man tentatively said: "Shang Xiu, we have been here for more than ten days, lack of food and water, and the most important thing is that everyone's mental state is very bad. Several old people and children are sick. We, I'm afraid we can't wait too long...

Moreover, we have already found a monk who promised to help you before you. If there are two monks guarding, isn't it more secure? "

Finally, muster up the courage, "We know that the poplar forest is dangerous, but we have no other way out. For this, we are ready to pay the price."

Hou Tiao looked up, and there was a figure leading a horse to drink water by the puddle not far below the hillside. He had noticed this person a long time ago, but he didn't expect that there were monks willing to take this muddy water.

"You wait..."

Hou Tiao rode his horse and ran towards the puddle. Hearing the movement, the figure stood up vigilantly, and his hand had already touched the bow and quiver on the horse's back.

Ten feet away, Hou Tiao jumped off his horse, raised his hands high,

"Brother, I don't mean anything malicious, and I want to help these people, but I think if we really want to take them through this Baiyang forest, we might have to discuss it?"

When the distance got closer, Hou Tiao found that it was a very young face, less than 20 years old, and his face was covered with marks left by wind and frost; judging from his attire, he should be a local hunter nearby, because these locals generally appear to be out of shape due to the pressure of life. Old empiricism, he doubts whether this person's actual age will exceed 16 years old?

Only a young and energetic young man like him has the courage to draw his sword to help.The problem is, it's just the state of entraining Qi, and it may not be as good as him.

"Of course they can't get through! Otherwise, I wouldn't be foolishly waiting here...I'm afraid there won't be a few left, and the old and the weak will die in it, but I..."

Hou Tiao laughed, this is the mental journey of a green melon son, somehow he was caught by the old man with the sad card, and then he found that he could not fulfill his promise, and he would do even more evil; It's not right to go, if you can't be ruthless, you can only wait here stupidly, and you don't know what you are waiting for?
Hou Tiao walked over, "You should be familiar with this place, right? If my guess is correct, you can't spend the night in the poplar forest, is that right?"

The young man relaxed a little. At his age, it is easier to trust others. Of course, he also has his own beast-like intuition towards strangers. He thinks this person is good. His eyes are sharp but clear... For someone like him For hunters, the most important thing to observe wild animals is to look at their eyes, and you will find many things.

"You can't stay overnight! Night is the world of those monsters, and it is ten times more dangerous than daytime! But they are too weak to escape even on horseback..."

Hou Tiao shook his head, "We don't have so many horses for them to ride on, and all of them in their team are poor horses pulling carts, which are useless.

Well, you have to pass in one day and cannot stay overnight. If you locals pass here, what will they do? "

The environment is harsh, you should look for the natives!When the locals adapt to the harsh environment, they naturally have the most practical experience left by their ancestors. Hou Tiao didn't understand, but he knew who to ask.

The young man scratched his head, "There is a way. It is a kind of skid without wheels. The wide skid can slide on the rotten leaves. It is pulled by forest deer. Their hooves are bigger than horses, so they are not easy to sink into; our local If a person must pass through this poplar forest, he must use a deer pry!
However, the deer pry is the treasure of the locals, and they will not agree to lend it to outsiders. "

Hou Tiao understands, as long as there is a way, "Can you help find the deer pry? The fee is negotiable."

The boy lowered his head in embarrassment, "I seldom go back to the village, and I don't have a good relationship with them. They say that I am a disaster star and will bring disaster to the village..."

Another tragicomedy in the world caused by deception, Hou Tiao sighed,

"Okay, then I'll go! Can you tell me which village I can borrow the best deer sledges? How many do you want to borrow?"

The young man was a little hesitant. He knew that the villagers like himself were stubborn and unreasonable, and they were not people who could be persuaded with great principles.But when these words came to his lips, for some reason, he swallowed them back.

Anyway, it's a method, it's better than waiting stupidly and doing nothing; after waiting here for ten days and waiting for such a practitioner willing to help, who else can I wait for?I'm afraid these people have starved to death.

"Go straight to the northwest. There is Gubei Village on the road of Shichen. It is the largest village near the border. They have enough deer sledges and riders; one deer sledge can't hold a few people. We need at least five deer sledges here. , pass quickly, if there is no monster blocking, you can rush over in two hours!"

Hou Tiao got on the horse, "Waiting for my news here!"

The young man stared blankly at the man whipping the horse and whipping the whip away, but he didn't have much hope in his heart; because no one knew his villagers better than him, and the vigilance and dissatisfaction with the outside world developed due to long-term isolation. Trust, this cannot be erased by a few words.

He has been waiting here for several days, whether to go or not to go, he is in a dilemma; he can't help but deeply regret why he had to pass by here in the first place and provoke such a burden for no reason.

The point is, it's beyond his ability!
Few people pass through this poplar forest, because the forest is as deep as forty miles, but it is the closest route to Anhe; generally, caravans will choose to go a little further and pass through the narrower poplar forest under the guidance of the guide.

This group of caravans who looked like wealthy people didn't understand these things, so they got stuck here; they couldn't find a narrower path, not to mention running around, who would be willing to drag such a large group of ordinary caravans on the road?Isn't that courting death?
