The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 178 Meeting in a narrow road

The window was estimated to be nearly three meters high from the ground. Jia Huan grabbed the window edge with both hands and hung in the air. His feet were still dozens of centimeters above the ground. He felt a little uneasy. He was not afraid of falling, but he was just worried that he would make a noise and alert the thieves in front of him. .

Just at this time, there was a bang from the front. Jia Huan used the gunshot to cover up and let go decisively. The drainage ditch below was full of weeds, so the sound when he landed was not loud, but the left calf But it was a heartbreaking pain, probably from a thorny thorn.

Jia Huan endured the severe pain, reached out and groped around, and sure enough, he touched a thorny plant that was still wrapped around his clothes, so he carefully pulled it away, and then raised his head and gestured to Magistrate Lu on the window.

Magistrate Lu stood at the window and observed for a while, then he followed Jia Huan's example and climbed down. As a result, the guy's arm strength was really weak and he fell down with a swish. Fortunately, Jia Huan caught on below, otherwise he would have had an earth-shattering fall. No.

"Thank you Jia Xiaoyou." County Magistrate Lu whispered with lingering fear.

Jia Huan raised his index finger to signal Lu Renjia to silence, then took out his waist knife and gently pushed aside the weeds and thorns, and slowly moved toward the back of the house.

Magistrate Lu followed Jia Huan nervously. After spending nearly half the time burning incense, the two of them finally passed through the thorn bushes and reached the back of the ancestral hall. Their clothes, hands, feet, and even their faces were torn in several places, and they were burning. The ground hurts.

It was pitch dark behind the ancestral hall, and there were weeds and trees everywhere. Jia Huan and County Magistrate Lu held hands and groped forward little by little. Despite this, they fell several times and fell hard. Fortunately, this place is already some distance away from the ancestral hall, so there is no risk of being overheard by thieves.

snap...

There seemed to be something crushed under his feet. Jia Huan looked down and found a light green fluorescent light beside his feet, so he bent down and touched a stick-like object. After all, he was an archeology major, and he already had a rough idea. I guessed what it was, so I held it in my hand for lighting.

Jia Huan looked up at the stars in the sky, determined the direction, and then used the weak fluorescent light in his hands to touch towards the entrance of the village. The two of them were cautious and their nerves were highly tense, because once the thief discovered them, their lives would be at risk. There is a high probability that I will have to confess.

Finally, the two of them reached near the entrance of the village, and there was a country road ahead.Lu Renjia breathed a sigh of relief, filled with the joy of rebirth after the disaster. Haha, I finally escaped. I made the right bet this time.

Jia Huan looked back and saw that the ancestral hall in the distance was ablaze with fire, shouts and gunshots were heard one after another. The thieves were obviously still attacking. He did not dare to delay at the moment and whispered: "County Magistrate Lu, let's go quickly!"

Magistrate Lu was eager to escape from this deadly place, so he took the glowing branch from Jia Huan's hand and walked in front to lead the way. As soon as he walked out of the village, he heard someone whispering and asking: "Who?"

Then a torch was lit, and under the light of the fire, two thieves holding single swords were clearly seen guarding the intersection. Magistrate Lu immediately trembled with fright and stood there without daring to move.

It turned out that these two thieves were on guard duty at the intersection, not to intercept people escaping from the village, but to be on guard against sudden reinforcements from officers and soldiers so that they could promptly report the news to the thieves in the village. As a result, they were killed by Jia Huan and Lu Xian. Ling was hit hard.

Jia Huan was also startled at this time, but he calmed down immediately, and while speeding up his pace to pass Magistrate Lu, he said in a rough voice: "It's me!"

As we all know, a torch is not a flashlight. A flashlight can shine far away and illuminate others first. But a torch is not the same. When you hold a torch in the dark, you are the first person to be illuminated. The further away from the torch, the dimmer the light becomes, so Before the two thieves had time to see clearly, Jia Huan had already rushed to them.

At this time, the two thieves finally saw Jia Huan's appearance clearly. He was not one of them at all. Then they realized that something was wrong. Just as they were about to take action, Jia Huan had already struck the thief holding the torch with his knife.When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. At this moment, it's either you or me who dies. There is no room for any hesitation or kindness, so Jia Huan kills as soon as he takes action.

Since Jia Huan traveled to this world of Red Mansions, he has been exercising constantly every day. He is not a weak scholar. At this critical moment of life and death, his potential has been maximized, so the sword was struck fast and hard.But when the sword flash passed by, the thief's head flew up, and blood spurted out, almost extinguishing the torch in his hand.

The other thief was horrified and subconsciously took a step back. This step back completely ruined his chance of survival. Jia Huan took the opportunity to step forward and slashed with another knife. The tip of the knife slashed from the chest to the lower abdomen, and opened his chest in an instant. Broken belly.

--ah!

The huge pain caused the thief to let out a heart-rending scream, which was heard far away in the quiet night. Naturally, it also alerted other thieves in the village. Immediately, someone ran towards the entrance of the village holding a torch.

"Quickly!" Jia Huan shouted and ran down the country road at the entrance of the village. Only then did Lu Renjia come to his senses and quickly followed Jia Huan and fled, almost peeing in fear.

After a while, seven or eight thieves holding torches arrived. They were shocked to see two brothers who were responsible for lookout lying in a pool of blood. One had no head and the other was disemboweled. They all looked around vigilantly. search.

The Japanese pirate Kato Saburo with the antlers on his head seemed to be an expert in tracking. He squatted down and sniffed around, and then said firmly: "Seventh Master, there are only two people on the other side. They should have escaped from the village."

Poison scholar Shen Guan rolled his eyes when he heard this and said: "Since he escaped from the village, he most likely asked for reinforcements. Kato, you and two people will chase after you and be sure to kill them!"

Saburo Nagato was happy not to participate in the attack, so he took the other two Japanese pirates and chased them down the country road.

After all, Shen Guan had some brains. When he saw someone escaping, he knew there was a loophole, so he immediately took people back to the village, inspected the front and back of the ancestral hall, and soon found the window through which Jia Huan escaped. .

Fortunately, Jia Huan was very meticulous and had already ordered Xing Wei to block the window again after he went out. Therefore, although Shen Guan discovered the existence of the window at this moment, it was almost impossible to break in from here.

Let's say that Jia Huan and Lu County Magistrate ran along the country road for a while and finally got on an official road.

"Master Lu, which way should we go to Yuntiguan Qianhu?" Jia Huan stopped and asked.

Magistrate Lu looked around and said a little awkwardly: "It's so late at night, even the lower officials can't tell the difference."

Jia Huan was quite speechless. He could only roughly identify the north, and then hurried to the right hand direction of the official road.
