I travel through the heavens as a human being

Chapter 6 Sneak Attack
By the time Xu Yang returned to his hometown, it was already two days later.

Although the straight-line distance between Xu Yang's hometown and Huashan Mountain is not far, Xu Yang had to make a long detour due to the obstacles of mountains, rivers, deep valleys and other terrains, which increased the distance several times.

However, the traffic conditions in ancient times were really bad, and Xu Yang didn't have the money to buy a horse, so he could only hire a donkey cart to travel, which wasn't much faster at all.

But fortunately, the journey was very safe and we encountered no trouble.

After all, this is the foot of Huashan Mountain. Even if the Huashan Sect is in decline and lacks manpower, Lao Yue will still go down the mountain frequently to protect the three-acre land in front of his house to prevent bandits and robbers from showing up.

After returning home, it was naturally a scene of family gathering again. Xu Yang also tried his best to do some of his duties as a son, helping the family chop wood and carry water.

And before coming back, when passing through the county, Xu Yang used the monthly money he saved to buy a cattle for his family. He brought it home, but his parents spoiled it and built a cattle shed on the same day. Neighbors also came to help, and it was obvious why everyone came to help.

In ancient times, cattle were very valuable agricultural production tools, and they were also one of the three sacrificed animals. Sometimes cattle ate better than people, in order to prevent them from losing weight and getting sick, which would delay plowing the fields.

With such a cow around, the smiles on Xu Yang's parents' faces lasted the whole day.

After dinner, Xu Yang began to ask his parents why they called him back. After all, the letter only said that his mother missed her son, but Xu Yang understood from his memory that even if he missed her again, his parents would not write to ask Xu Yang to come home, so There must be something going on.

Faced with Xu Yang's inquiry, the old couple didn't mince words and directly explained what happened.

It turned out that a matchmaker came forward to propose marriage some time ago, and the old couple considered that Xu Yang was already 17 years old and the age to get married, so they wanted to ask his opinion, so they wrote the letter.

When Xu Yang heard about this, he was immediately a little dumbfounded. After he knew that this was Swordsman, his mind was filled with martial arts and martial arts. Xu Yang really had not considered the marriage issue, and he was only 17 years old. He really couldn't accept getting married so early.

But looking at the expectant eyes of the old couple, Xu Yang frowned slightly, knowing that it might not be appropriate to refuse directly, so he changed his words and said:
"Father, mother, my son is not yet in his studies. Master said that these few years are a critical period for me and I need to concentrate on martial arts, so I will not consider the marriage issue for the time being. Why not make some preparations for the third child first."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not look at the disappointed eyes of the old couple. At the same time, he apologized to Lao Yue in his heart:
I'm sorry, master. I really didn't want to get married so early. Since you are my master, you can use it as a shield. You won't blame me, right?

After hearing Xu Yang's answer, the old couple looked a little disappointed. They looked at each other and could only agree to Xu Yang's proposal.

After all, what Xu Yang said makes sense. Getting married can be delayed, but learning skills is a lifelong matter, especially since the old couple still trusts Yue Buqun.

There are three sons and one daughter in the family. Xu Yang is the second eldest, and the eldest is already married. The third, Xu Yang, is two years old. The second can't get married, and the third can't get married. There is another meaning behind calling Xu Yang back this time. , just notify him in advance.

Xu Yang didn't stay at home much. After rejecting the idea of ​​getting married, he stayed at home for two days, then left home in a donkey cart and set off back to Huashan.

Just one day after Xu Yang hit the road, he heard a "rustling" movement in the woods while passing through a dense forest.

Just when Xu Yang turned around to look, he saw five masked men in black with swords in their hands, jumping out of the woods and blocking the path of himself and the donkey cart.

A masked man in front pointed a long knife at Xu Yang and shouted:
"Robbery! Hand over all the money!"

robber?Xu Yang was startled at first, and then frowned.

"Why are you still standing there! Hand over the money, or I will chop you with a knife!" "Hurry up and hand over the money!"

Seeing that Xu Yang was silent, the other men in black immediately started making noises, waving their swords randomly, intimidating Xu Yang, but the leader was holding a long sword, tilting his head and squinting at Xu Yang.

It’s quite like that!

Seeing the movements and language of these masked men, Xu Yang became even more suspicious, but he did not continue to do nothing. Instead, he put his hands into his arms and said at the same time:

"Isn't it just money? Here it is for you!"

After those masked men saw that Xu Yang actually took out a bulging and exquisite money bag from his arms, they all stopped clamoring, looked at the money bag with slightly narrowed eyes, and looked at Xu Yang from time to time.

"Catch it!"

Xu Yang shouted loudly and threw the delicate money bag at the leading masked man. Xu Yang's throwing force was not very strong. The speed of the money bag was visible to the naked eye, which was enough for an ordinary person to react, so the leading masked man The masked man did not dodge.

Three, two, one!

Looking at the money bag that he threw out lightly, Xu Yang counted down in his heart. When he counted to one, Xu Yang suddenly waved his hand forward, and saw a large cloud of white smoke appearing instantly and covering it very quickly. Toward the group of men in black blocking the road.

After Xu Yang waved, he immediately got out of the car and hid under the donkey cart.

boom!
An explosion sounded, and then a scream was heard, as well as a shrill braying sound.

After hearing the braying of the donkey, Xu Yang jumped out from under the car and ran to the roadside. He knew that the sneak attack just now had also injured the donkey. The donkey would go crazy under the pain. Continue It is dangerous to hide under a donkey cart.

However, at this time, the white smoke had begun to settle and became lighter. Xu Yang, who was standing next to the white smoke on the roadside, could clearly see the scene on the other side of the masked man.

At this time, none of the masked men could stand. They were all lying on the ground wailing. The leading masked man among them even screamed to remind his companions:

"Lime! It's quicklime!"

Seeing this scene, Xu Yang took out the placed crossbow and arrows from under the donkey cart early in the morning. Without hesitation, Xu Yang directly loaded the arrows and shot, hitting the vital points one by one, and understood all these people.

As for why he had to use crossbow arrows instead of a sword at his waist, Xu Yang did this for safety, to prevent someone from pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, or to counterattack on the verge of death, adding unnecessary danger.

huh~~~
After dealing with all these people, Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He had already determined as soon as these people appeared that they were not robbers blocking the road at all, but martial arts practitioners. people.

when!
The sound of exploding metal suddenly came from behind, and then Xu Yang felt a huge force coming from his back, knocking the unprepared Xu Yang away.
