Yan Wushuang Extra Episode (12)

Xu Bo took Yan Wushuang to spend a lot of money to buy two horses in the town, and then rode to Chuncheng.

After running for a day, I passed a county town. Uncle Xu was at a steamed stuffed bun shop, rounding up their buns, steamed buns and dumplings. Then without stopping for a moment, he continued on his way.

"Uncle Xu, these grains are enough for us for five or six days." I feel like I bought a lot.

"Be prepared." Once there is an accident, you have to walk the mountain road, and it takes a lot of time to find something to eat in the mountains.

Yan Wushuang asked: "Uncle Xu, after running for a day, we can survive but the horse can't." The horse also needs to rest, plus food.

Uncle Xu turned his head to look at Yan Wushuang and said, "It's dangerous to stay in an inn." Once the corpse in the pit is found, the other party will look for this clue. If you live in an inn, you can catch a turtle in your urn, and there is no way to escape.

Before Yan Wushuang could speak, Uncle Xu said, "Xiao Hei, just one negligence will kill you. So don't take any chances, or the price will be your life."

Yan Wushuang was not a self-willed person, when he heard this, he nodded and said, "I see."

After the two had eaten their fill, it was already dark. Because there will be luminous light at night, the two set off on a night journey. Compared with the daytime, the speed of riding a horse is obviously much slower.

After another hour of driving, Uncle Xu saw that Yan Wushuang was exhausted and said, "Let's rest here!"

Not daring to sleep on the side of the road, Xu Bo took Yan Wushuang into a dense grass taller than a person.

As soon as the horse let go, it started eating.

It was a cold night in October. Yan Wushuang wanted to light a fire, but Uncle Xu stopped him: "Stay hard for the next two days, and you can do whatever you want when you get to Spring City." You must be cautious in everything.

"it is good."

It was a peaceful night.

At dawn, the two ate three steamed buns that were as hard as rocks, and then continued on their way.

In the afternoon, I saw a puddle on the side of the road, and it happened that their four water bags were all out of water. Fearing that there would be no water source ahead, Xu Bo told Yan Wushuang to stop filling the water.

Yan Wushuang was filling water, and Xu Bo put his ear to the ground out of habit. After listening for a while, Uncle Xu said to Yan Wushuang, "Xiao Hei, follow me."

Instead of riding on horseback and continuing on the road,

Instead, he took Yan Wushuang and led the horse up the mountain.

Yan Wushuang asked with some doubts: "Uncle Xu, what's wrong?"

"do not speak."

After a while, Yan Wushuang heard the sound of horseshoes. However, he didn't take it to heart. These people should be soldiers and horses going to Tongcheng!

Riding fast, the group of people quickly passed by the foot of the mountain. After Yan Wushuang and the others left, they wanted to lead the horse down, but they were stopped by Uncle Xu.

"I saw Hong San in this group of people just now." Although the group of people ran fast, he believed his eyes.

Yan Wushuang said in shock, "How could it be?"

"Xiao Hei, we have been targeted. We can't take the main road, we have to take the mountain road to Chuncheng." If we take the main road now, we will be arrested soon.

Yan Wushuang was not stupid, and asked, "Did we get exposed because of what happened the night before yesterday?"

Uncle Xu nodded, seeing Yan Wushuang's annoyed expression on his face, he said, "Xiao Hei, don't regret it even if you are wrong." It was also Yan Wushuang who said that he had to save this group of people, otherwise he would not have acted.

Yan Wushuang nodded.

If you want to walk the mountain road, the two horses become tasteless. Xu Bo did not let go of the two horses, but killed them.

Yan Wushuang said worriedly: "Uncle Xu, if the other party finds the horse's body, won't they know where we are?"

"If you let them go, they will be discovered easily. At that time, the traces will be exposed earlier. If you kill them, wild beasts may come and eat them at night." After finishing speaking, Uncle Xu looked in the direction of Chuncheng. Said: "From here to Chuncheng, it only takes three days if the mountain road goes smoothly." If you ride a horse, you can reach Chuncheng tomorrow afternoon. It's a pity, just fight for this day!

After killing the horse, Uncle Xu asked Yan Wushuang to drink the horse's blood, but Yan Wushuang refused to drink it. The raw blood was so fishy and smelly that he couldn't drink it.

Uncle Xu drank a lot of raw blood himself, then cut some meat and wrapped it in his clothes.

This mountain road is nothing compared to the official road. It was rugged and full of thorns, and Yan Wushuang's clothes were scraped badly after walking for a long time. There were also several cuts on the face. However, he didn't say anything.

Soon, it was dark.

The mountains are not dark in winter, and there are wild animals, they dare not drive at night.

They found a big tree, cleaned the bottom of the tree and the two sat down against the big tree.

After resting for a while, Uncle Xu took horse meat and gave it to Yan Wushuang: "Eat it!"

Yan Wushuang didn't want to eat it.

"Eating steamed buns alone doesn't give you strength. Eating this can quickly replenish your energy." Seeing that Yan Wushuang was still unwilling to eat, Uncle Xu said, "Although we bought dry food for five or six days, now we have an extra three or four days' journey. You If you don’t eat this meat, you may have no food to eat later.” There are wild animals in the forest, and it takes time to catch them. Moreover, if you catch it, you have to eat raw meat.

The horse meat was fishy and unpalatable, and it was impossible to swallow it.

Seeing Yan Wushuang vomit the meat, Xu Bo said: "This meat is unpalatable, but it's better than nothing." Really hungry people even eat dirt.

That's what he said, but Uncle Xu still cut the meat into small pieces. Yan Wushuang endured his nausea and swallowed the meat without chewing.

Yan Wushuang said: "Uncle Xu, you go to bed first, and I will take a break to practice kung fu. In the middle of the night, I will sleep again."

Xu Bo nodded.

In the afternoon, Xiang Hongda asked many passers-by along the road, and they all said that they didn't see any middle-aged man with a dark and thin child.

Lian Guo said: "Master Xiang, these two children may not be the ones we are looking for." He was sent by Tong Chunlin to assist Xiang Hongda in arresting him.

He also asked Hong San's family and the group of refugees, and everyone said that Xiao Hei was a timid young man. Yan Wushuang is a tyrant in Shengjing, arrogant and domineering, the two have nothing in common.

Xiang Hongda glanced at Lian Guo and said, "These two are the most suspect at the moment."

Although the black boy and Yan Wushuang have different looks and temperaments, they can be pretended. The only thing that can't be faked is height. This boy named Xiao Hei is about the same height as Yan Wushuang. The most important thing is that so many people died the night the father and son disappeared. No matter how you look at it, it feels weird.

Of course, Xiang Hongda was not sure at first. After all, there are capable people in this world. But after tracking for so long, there is no clue at all, and he dare not let go of anything unusual. Afraid of letting it go, people escaped from under their noses.

Even Guo didn't argue with Xiang Hongda, he just said: "Our general analyzes that Yan Wushuang should return to Tongcheng."

Xiang Hongda hummed and said, "Then set checkpoints along the road. Yan Wushuang has lived in Shengjing and Tongcheng since he was a child. In addition to Mandarin, he can also speak the words of Shengjing and Tongcheng." So each checkpoint , A strict investigation must be conducted on a boy of this age and height.

Lian Guo's heart moved, and he asked cautiously: "Master Xiang, this Xiao Hei is dumb. Do you suspect that if Yan Wushuang is afraid of revealing his accent, he deliberately pretends to be dumb?"

"It's not impossible." But all of this, you have to wait until you catch the father and son to know.

After walking forward for half an hour, they encountered a caravan. Even Guo Guo asked, and the person in charge of the caravan said very firmly that no one on horseback had passed.

When Xiang Hongda heard this, his expression turned ugly.

Lian Guo asked: "Lord Xiang, have you found anything?" He hoped that Xiang Hongda would find Yan Wushuang's trail and catch Yan Wushuang earlier. In this way, you can sit back and relax completely. Otherwise, I'm really worried that someone wiped my neck in my sleep.

Xiang Hongda said: "In the morning, passers-by saw an old man and a young man riding horses, but no one along the road saw them in the afternoon. Lord, if the horse riding is too conspicuous, it's hard not to remember it."

Even Guo Neng is not stupid to be Tong Chunlin's confidant: "Master Xiang, what do you mean, the two of them abandoned their horses and went to the mountains?"

"But why?" It doesn't make sense! The horse was riding well, why would it suddenly go on a mountain road?

There was a glimmer of light in Xiang Hongda's eyes: "They must have discovered something wrong, so they abandoned the horse and walked the mountain road." He was only suspicious before, but now he is basically sure that this boy named Xiao Hei must be Yan Wushuang.

After searching for so long, I finally found a clue, and even Guo was very happy: "Master Xiang, what should we do now?" There are mountains along the road, and it is not easy to find two people.

Xiang Hongda said: "To go to Tongcheng, you have to pass through Chuncheng. You send someone to guard at the gate of Chuncheng."

It's only one day's journey from here to Chuncheng to ride a horse, and it's only three or four days to walk. Therefore, there is no delay. Lian Guo nodded and said, "I'll give orders now." Tong Chunlin specifically asked him to assist Xiang Hongda, otherwise he would take someone to guard the gate of Chuncheng City.

Xiang Hongda turned back, and started to follow the footprints of the horses at the last place where the pedestrians said they saw two people riding horses.

At the place where Yan Wushuang filled the water, Xiang Hongda also saw two horse footprints, but there were no more after that.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Xiang Hongda said, "They must have come up the mountain from here."

Lian Guo was still very convinced of Xiang Hongda's ability, and immediately took people up the mountain with him to find someone.

Not long after going up the mountain, the group saw a pile of horse bones. The horse carcass was pulled out of the pit by wild animals, and the flesh was eaten, leaving the flesh and bones.

Lian Guo was very happy to see these horse bones. Now that there are clues, they should be able to catch people soon.

Seeing the excitement on Lian Guo's face, Xiang Hongda poured cold water on him: "The person who follows Yan Wushuang is a master, and it is not so easy to catch Yan Wushuang." The other party must be a master of disguise, yes He underestimated the opponent's strength, that's why he wasted so much time.

Lian Guo heard the words and said hurriedly: "Master Xiang, we must catch Yan Wushuang."

To be sent by Song Huaijin to hunt down Yan Wushuang must be someone he can trust.

Xiang Hongda said: "Don't worry, I will definitely catch them." Otherwise, he would have failed Uncle Guo's trust.
