Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 9: : The crisis is coming
Everyone was stunned by the corpse in front of them. After Li Zhen reminded them, they knew to get in the carriage and leave.
There are two roads to Jiahe County, this is the main road, and the other is a very steep mountain road.
While galloping the horse, Liu Quan said: "Let's... let's take a detour." He looked at the corpses that were getting closer and closer, his pants were damp, and he was already incontinent.
Teacher Wang took off his glasses, hugged his gray hair in his hands and thought for a moment, then said resolutely: "No. Now, if you take a detour, it will take five days to reach Jiahe County, so you will miss the exam. And... the other way There should be horse thieves on the road."
"How do you know there are horse thieves on the other road?"
Another teacher retorted.
Teacher Wang said: "There are forty or fifty counties in the southeast state. During the period of rushing for the exam, horse thieves commit crimes crazily. Because the candidates are very rich, and the people accompanying them also have their belongings just in case. Jie, a powerless scholar like us, is far more nimble than those experienced merchants. Since there are horse thieves on the main road, he will definitely not let go of another road to Huangpu County.”
Everyone sighed after hearing the words. The sorrow in my heart grew stronger.
Looking in all directions vigilantly, there seemed to be places where horse thieves were hiding everywhere. Everywhere I looked, I felt that the horse thief would rush out in the next moment.
It's getting closer.
Finally, the leading carriage crossed the messy group of corpses.
Liu Quan was so frightened that he wept bitterly, he didn't dare to look out, and he held Li Zhen's hand tightly and dared not let go.
Li Zhen didn't cry, but he still held Liu Quan's hand tightly, his palms were covered with sweat. The boss with wide eyes stared at the disembowelled boy's body, getting closer and closer to him. Watch the horse collapse over him.
The wheels rolled over.
The car staggered.
'vomit'
Li Zhen couldn't bear it anymore, he vomited crazily when he saw the dead for the first time.
The staggering and bumping of the car just now was the feeling of running over the corpse of a young man.
"What to do, what to do."
Liu Quan burst into tears, holding Li Zhen's arm tightly with both hands, unconsciously pinching Li Zhen's arm black and blue.
Many teachers also vomited out one after another, this scene is really appalling. I used to think that horse thieves were far away from us, but today, they are extremely close.
After walking past the corpses, I felt a little relieved. Teacher Li said in shock: "How come... I have escorted candidates to rush for the exam before, why haven't I met them before."
No answer.
There is no answer.
Maybe it can only be called luck?
'Dululu'
Suddenly, a loud chant sounded.
It came from all directions in the canyon of Yanziji, and the echoes made people frightened.
Li Zhenzhuang boldly stuck his head out of the carriage window, only to see an iron chain thrown down from the canyon on the left, and a big shirtless man slid down with a broken sword in one hand and a pulley in the other.
'Dululu, Dululu'
A chant from a special whistle grows more and more urgent.
A moment later, the whole canyon echoed with a roar:
"Zhuma!"
"Quickly stop the horse!"
“…”
Liu Quan shrank his head in the corner and cried, "Is the horse thief coming? Is the horse thief coming? He told us to stop, did he tell us to stop?"
At this moment, Li Zhen was also trembling all over, holding Liu Quan's hand tightly, and forced himself to be calm. But I don't know what to do.
Teacher Wang is old and has a lot of experience. Hearing the roar, he hurriedly shouted: "I can't stop. I rushed out of Yanziji with all my might, and I must not stop."
Some teachers hesitated: "Stop, the horse thief told us to stop. If we don't stop, will we be killed?"
Teacher Wang scolded: "You can't stop. If you stop, you will die. The horse thieves in Yanziji will never survive. There were very few horse thieves in the past few years, but they suddenly appeared in recent years. If I guessed correctly, the horse thieves in Yanziji It's an official bandit."
"Official bandit!"
"The owner of Jiahe County was transferred from Beizhou last year. As soon as he took office, horse thieves came out. This place is only ten kilometers away from the main city of Jiahe County, but there are horse thieves so rampant, they must be official bandits The thieves keep their lives alive, and the water keeps flowing. Official bandits never keep their lives alive."
"Ah, how could this be..."
"How could this be?"
"We told them that we were rushing for the exam, can we please let them go?"
"It's okay to keep the money, please let them let us go."
“…”
This time, even the teachers cried out.
Looking at the horse thief who kept jumping down from the canyon with the zipline, looking at the horse thief carried by a dozen strong horses that suddenly rushed out from the originally empty rear. Seeing the scattered horse thieves blocking the road in front of him, he used the horse stalls to block the way forward in the canyon. Everyone was dumbfounded.
Teacher Wang's eyes were blood red, his gray hair was messy, and he stood on the carriage madly and shouted: "Rush over! Rush over. Don't stop, don't stop."
"We are going to die, are we going to die?"
"If we beg them, will they let us go?"
“…”
A teacher yelled hysterically: "Heroes, we are going to rush for the exam. Please do me a favor and let us pass."
"Ha ha ha ha."
What answered him was the rampant laughter echoing in the canyon.
Teacher Wang slapped the teacher on the head: "Don't beg for mercy. Think carefully about the corpses at the entrance of the canyon. Did they escape or show signs of resistance?"
As soon as this remark came out, the person in the dream was awakened.
Yes, the forty or fifty people died in a mess, but there was no sign of escaping. It's like... standing there for someone to kill.
It's really an official bandit!
Li Zhen stepped out of the carriage at this time, and stood outside the carriage with one hand on the handrail. The groom of the opposite carriage shouted, "Come in from the middle. Go out from the gap between the two horse posts. It broke."
The groom's face was full of tears: "My horse will die."
Teacher Wang shouted loudly: "Do you still care about the horse now? Go over and cover the horse's eyes, blindfold the horse's eyes!"
Gritting his teeth, the groom jumped onto the horse's back from the carriage, hurriedly tore off the cloth strips of his clothes and blindfolded the galloping horse. Then he jumped back into the car and twitched ferociously: "Drive!"
The 'neighing' horse neighed and rushed forward like crazy.
Among the dozens of horses behind, a big man with a machete frowned: "The boss, they are going to charge."
The so-called master is a young man with a fair complexion who is about thirty years old. He said with a sneer, "Yo, old Jiang Hu ~IndoMTL.com~ It seems that he would rather die than surrender. Then don't hang around, blow Number, kill directly."
"Alright."
"Dulu Dulu Dulu"
The chant sounded again, this time the tempo changed and became very rapid.
Suddenly, the horse thief who landed with a zipline from the cliff began to smile ferociously, and outflanked the carriage with a knife.
Teacher Wang's complexion changed, and he shouted loudly: "Hurry up, go faster. The horse thief is about to kill!"
'Ah'
A scream came.
Everyone turned their heads.
However, in the last carriage, Mr. Zhang, who was holding daily necessities, was dragged out of the carriage by a horse thief. Struggling frantically.
After struggling for a few times, the horse thief who rushed up stabbed him in the heart with a knife, and the blood flew flying. Teacher Zhang's body twitched and then fell silent.
"Xiao Zhang!"
"Teacher Zhang!"
Teacher Wang and Li Zhen yelled furiously.
'嗖'
At this time, Li Zhen's ears felt cold, and his hairs stood up in shock. But an arrow shot past the ear.
Li Zhen turned his head to look, only to see a horse thief chasing him on horseback while stringing a new arrow, while shaking his head and sighing, as if regretting that he missed the shot just now.
Teacher Wang hurriedly pushed Li Zhen's head into the carriage, and shouted: "Don't come out!"
While shrinking into the carriage, Li Zhen stared closely at the winning horse. Seeing the blindfolded head horse getting closer and closer to the horse post, he roared hysterically: "Come in from the middle, you must hit from the middle..."
With a bang, dust filled the sky ahead.
Li Zhen, who had already entered the carriage, saw nothing. All he could hear was the painful roar of the leading horse and the miserable cry of the carriage driver...
