The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the moment the sun comes out, it seems that the people who are illuminated by it will live another day.

But it was just one more day.

Yang Zhi leaned against the tree trunk. Although the food brought by Chen Liu was enough for them for a while, the water was not enough.

In such heat, even half an hour without water seems like an adult.

It seems to be tolerable when there is no water, but the thirst becomes faster when there is water.

Yang Zhi looked to the south, he had already given up, after so many days, he still did not wait for Chen Liu, although the group did not speak, they had already accepted their fate.

Death is imminent, but they don't even have the chance and strength to leave a last word.

Even Yang Zhi, who has the best physique, is no longer energetic. From day to night, each of them can only say one sentence at most.

Their waking time is also getting shorter and shorter. If the beasts around here hadn't been polished, they might have become rotting corpses on the roadside long ago.

Yang Zhi's eyes gradually lost focus.

If there is any substantial loss of vitality from him.

Just at this moment——

The sound of horseshoes pierced the sky, and the neighing of horses sounded not far away, like the sound of heaven.

The celestial music in the fairy palace is definitely not as good as this sound.

Yang Zhi sat up suddenly, his vision was darkened by this movement, he sat for a long time, and then stood up with the help of the tree trunk.

The sound made Li Qing who was lying on the ground struggle to stand up.

They all looked in the direction of the sound.

Then they saw an unforgettable scene in their lives——

On the official road in the yellow sand, a maroon horse leaped out. It was facing the sun, and the light coated its fur with a layer of gold. It was like a fairy horse in a story. It was very handsome, with strong muscles. It seems to be able to fly over mountains and mountains when it is in the air.

The dark brown ponytail spread out the moment it jumped up, like a whisk in the hands of a fairy.

It's so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it.

Yang Zhi, who had seen such a good horse, couldn't help muttering: "What a god... what a god!"

He was like seeing the girl he loves, dare not speak loudly, only dare to look at it with yearning eyes.

"Slow down! Slow down!" Before the horse arrived, Yang Zhi and the others saw Wu Yan and his party panting behind the horse's buttocks.

None of Wu Yan and his group can ride a horse—Wu Yan can ride a donkey.

Although Cao'er knew how to ride a bull, she dared not mount a horse.

Horses are a luxury in this era. Except for unruly bandits who will snatch horses and ride them, many officials can only ride in ox carts when they go out. Horses are exclusive to high-ranking officials and nobles, and a good horse is priceless.

At the beginning, they could still lead the horses. Once the road was flat, all the horses except the two horses pulling the cart began to have fun, but they also knew how to "take care" of humans, and stopped to wait when they ran far away.

Chen Liu walked at the end of the crowd, he was unwilling to deal with Yang Zhi and the others.

Yang Zhi looked at the horse parked in the middle of the road in disbelief, and swallowed involuntarily.

In fact, he didn't have any hope of changing horses. At this time, the only ones who could have horses were real immortals.

He hoped that as long as the opponent could produce one horse, one would be enough!

Time to let the best riding buddies go with the stuff.

And the horse doesn't have to be a good horse, just the worst horse.

But the horse that appeared in front of him now, just by looking at its legs and feet, he knew it was a peerless horse, and if it was exchanged for money, it would be enough to exchange for a city.

But there are six such horses!

The last two horses are still pulling the cart!

Yang Zhi didn't care about the strange wheels under the cart at all, his eyes and all his attention were firmly occupied by these horses.

Wu Yan led the people up to Yang Zhi and the others.

Except for Yang Zhi, everyone else took a step back subconsciously—Although Wu Yan and the others are not tall, they can be called strong compared to them, not to mention that they have two women with them, no, two little girls, it can be seen They must have a lot of confidence.

"Yang Zhuangshi." Wu Yan clasped his fists at Yang Zhi.

He didn't know what to call the other party, because he didn't know the age of the other party, so calling him a strong man would never go wrong.

"There are six horses in total, as well as dry food and water." Wu Yan said, "Order some, and if there are no omissions, we will go back and report."

Wu Yan took off the burden from his back, and he handed the burden to Yang Zhi: "The Immortal said that these things are not accepted, please take a look."

Yang Zhi stretched out his hand to pick up the burden, but at the moment he took it, he couldn't stand still, and was carried by the burden and fell to the ground.

Wu Yan and the others were taken aback by Yang Zhi. Fortunately, everyone around Yang Zhi could see clearly that Yang Zhi was too weak to bear the weight of this burden.

Yang Zhi got up slowly, and opened the bag with weak hands.

The golden jewelry caught his eyes, Yang Zhi's eyes slowly widened, and he fell to the ground in disbelief.

Among the gold jewellery, these are the only things from a good family.

The rest is the ill-gotten gains of corrupt officials.

The things that were returned were the Huangshan brothers who robbed the wrong people. Although they did not kill anyone, to Huangshan, this was a stain that could not be washed away. This incident seemed to confirm their reputation as bandits. I don't think it's a big deal, but for someone like Yang Zhi who doesn't want to be a bandit, this incident is enough to keep him awake at night.

With so many gold ornaments, he could recognize the sources of these at a glance.

Wu Yan also guessed the source of these things from Yang Zhi's expression, and the problem that had been bothering him was finally solved, Wu Yan sighed: "The immortal knows everything."

At this moment, Yang Zhi finally asked with some doubts: "Why did the immortal... save us?"

He thinks that they are already unclean, and if they rob good people, they cannot be called good people and are not worthy of being saved.

What's more, this is something he knows. There are so many brothers in the mountains, and he dare not say that all of them are good people, let alone that they have never robbed or killed good people. Not to mention now.

Wu Yan: "I'm afraid the immortals thought that in the future strong men could be good men."

Yang Zhi smiled bitterly: "Yang can't be a good person, and I'm afraid he will kill more people in the future."

But Wu Yan said: "Immortals never miss people, and strong men don't need to underestimate themselves. If you kill a wicked person, why not save people from fire and water?"

Yang Zhi waved his hands, unwilling to discuss further.

With Wu Yan's support, he climbed into the carriage, and only then did he notice the strange wheels, but what surprised him more than the wheels was the contents of the carriage, buckets of water, piles of dry food, There are even rations for the horses, all of which are put away in different categories.

The last moment they were still hovering on the verge of life and death, but now they suddenly "fall into a windfall".

Yang Zhi's hands were trembling uncontrollably, his footsteps were unsteady when he got out of the car, if it wasn't for Wu Yan's support, he would almost fall down again.

In the first 20 years, Yang Zhi lived a smooth life. The son of a big landlord, he was born in a position that ordinary people could not reach.

But he was born with a sentimental temperament, sympathized with the weak, and didn't want to see the people around him being bullied.

He still doesn't know whether he was wrong or right to take the long-term worker to the county government.

The century-old foundation of the family was destroyed because of him.

Although the king saved his family, he could not save their tenants.

His parents, brother and sister lived in panic on Mount Huangshan all day long, worrying about the imperial court's suppression of bandits day and night, and the once peaceful days suddenly became out of reach.

Everyone is praising him, praising him for his loyalty, praising him for not being afraid of power, and praising him for being a good person.

But only he himself knows how much he has to sacrifice to be a good person.

His parents were in tears all day long, his brothers and sisters stopped talking to him, and even the former tenants might not be grateful to him.

If he hadn't gone to the county government, most of the tenants would still be able to farm the land honestly.

But when he went to the county government, the family property was confiscated, and the tenants were driven out of the land that had been cultivated for generations. They knew nothing but farming. Can they rent land when they go to other villages?Can you fill your stomach?

His momentary righteous indignation did not bring any good results. It ruined the foundation, cut off the livelihood of the tenants, and made his family want to follow him to the mountains to become a bandit.

But he didn't feel that he was doing the right thing, but he didn't know what he was doing wrong.

Had he made a mistake in standing up for the tenant?Is it wrong for him to love the weak?He wants to be a gentleman, is he wrong?

Yang Zhi couldn't find the answer, he could only go to the dark one by one, it seemed that as long as he got to the end, he would know whether what he did was wrong or right.

"Thank you." Yang Zhi looked into Wu Yan's eyes, "Do immortals have a dharma name? If Yang can reach the south safely, he will set up a statue for the immortal, so that the immortal can enjoy incense forever."

Wu Yan shook his head: "That's not necessary, whether you believe in immortals or not, the immortals don't care whether you stand or not."

Yang Zhi murmured: "Immortal..."

"Come and get water to drink." Wu Yan took out a bucket of water from the car, and the water was filled in a wooden bucket. The strong man had to use all his strength to hold it tilted so as not to spill it during the process of fetching water.

Yang Zhi and the others couldn't wait to use the cups prepared in the car, and put their mouths to the opening one by one, drinking happily.

At the end of the drink, Yang Zhi felt that his stomach was full of water, and he could hear the sound of water sloshing when he walked.

They finally drank enough and wanted to lie down and rest, but they all insisted on standing still.

Wu Yan: "You have no objection, I'll leave after this."

"Chen Liu!" Yang Zhi suddenly called out Chen Liu's name.

Chen Liu, who was hiding behind the crowd, shrank his neck and refused to answer, nor did he want to go out. He really didn't want to have anything to do with Yang Zhi and the others!

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhi went straight to Chen Liu. He bowed his hands and bowed, unable to bow for a long time, his voice trembling slightly: "I offended you before."

Chen Liu looked around at a loss, blinked, and said dryly: "I, I have repaid the kindness of the brothers, and I will not owe you any more in the future. If we can meet again in the future, please don't recognize me."

Yang Zhi didn't speak, and still maintained the gesture of bowing.

Wu Yan gave Chen Liu a wink, and the group did not contact Yang Zhi and the others, but walked back along the official road in silence.

Cao'er asked Sarah in a low voice: "Sister, is this the end?"

She thought she was using a repeating crossbow!

But it's better not to use it than to use it.

Sarah yawned, she was held by Cao'er, she rubbed her eyes and said, "Well, it's over."

She also said it out to show it, it seems that there is really no room for her to show it this trip.

Cao'er breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled on his face: "It can be seen that the immortals are taking care of us!"

Sarah did not refute, she nodded slightly in agreement.

Give face to the boss, don't tear down the boss's platform, this is the working principle of a good bodyguard.

Only Yang Zhi and the others stood in place, looking at their backs with complicated expressions.

Yang Zhi's voice sounded like a mosquito: "Immortal..."

·

The sky is full of rays of light, and the scattered clouds are coated with a layer of hazy yellow and soft hazy color. At the last moment when the light and darkness are handed over, the sky and the earth are so beautiful that one can take one's breath away.

"Just rest here." Wu Yan chose a place.

They never rush at night, even if they have bright flashlights, they seldom use them to avoid unnecessary trouble.

What's more, they were tired enough to travel during the day, and the immortal didn't require them to arrive at the supermarket at a certain time, so there was really no need to worry.

The employees took out toilet water in an orderly manner, sprayed it on themselves and handed it to the people next to them.

They don't think they are too fragrant, even choking. After all, insect bites are more uncomfortable than choking the nose.

They didn't light a fire when they came out - it was so hot that lighting a fire felt like roasting themselves.

Everyone only ate dry food, and this time they came out with cold dishes prepared by Caoerniang, served with dry biscuits and bread biscuits, even when there was no drought, it was a great enjoyment.

"Aunt Li is willing to put sesame oil now!" Wu Yan took a mouthful of cold dish and said with a smile, "She used to be reluctant to put it at all."

Cao'er retorted: "You don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil, and salt if you are not in charge of the family! Salt and oil are so expensive, the landlord's family is reluctant to put too much!"

The men laughed: "In the past, my family didn't dare to put too much salt!"

"When we go to the market, we have to go to the town before dawn in order to order some meat oil. Otherwise, where will Fatty get us?"

"The sesame oil seems to be squeezed from sesame seeds? How many sesame seeds do you need to squeeze out a small bottle?"

"The beans don't produce much oil." Wu Yan sighed, "The beans don't produce much oil, so the price is expensive, and not many people can afford it."

Who wants to buy soybean oil when you can buy fat for a little more money?

Wu Yan: "My family's oil mill sells oil to the grain store in the town. The business is not good, so the price of my oil is lowered every year. I don't dare to put more oil in my own cooking."

"Now we can eat any kind of oil, including meat oil, soybean oil, sesame oil, and other rapeseed oil. If there is a lot of oil and water, we don't think it's too rare."

Cao'er was beside him, nodding like a chicken pecking rice.

She loves sesame oil the most, she puts some in her cold dishes, it is very fragrant!

Mustard oil is also a good thing, but you can't put too much, otherwise she will always cry from eating.

While they were talking, Sarah, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, her eyes suddenly turned red, she looked towards the woods, her whole body was tense, her upper body leaned forward, her lips were drawn into a straight line, and she said softly: "somebody is coming."

Chen Liu was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Are you a refugee?"

Sarah: "There were 30 people, all men, with knives and axes."

Everyone's eyes widened involuntarily, and everyone panicked. They were all good citizens. Although they knew that this situation might happen, they had never faced it. Without experience, they could not restrain their fear.

30 people!The number of people is several times that of theirs!

Wu Yan also panicked: "Wu, weapon! Take out the weapon!"

Cao'er panicked to get her repeating crossbow, but because of panic, she fell to the ground the moment she got it.

Sarah suddenly snapped, "Calm down!"

"With me here, what are you afraid of?! This group of people came just in time, and they can practice your hands for you."

Strangely, Sarah's petite body gave the employees unlimited confidence.

Wu Yan came back rationally. He took out his long knife and said to the employees: "Those with repeating crossbows back up, find a place to cover, and those with long knives and electric batons come to me like me."

Worried about being accidentally injured by his companions, he reminded him again: "When they get close, shoot arrows. Don't shoot when we fight, lest the other party is not injured and our own people fall down."

Cao'er wanted to cry, but she didn't expect that a girl like herself would go to the "battlefield".

But she looked at Sarah, and inexplicably possessed a courage.

With her god-sister around, she shouldn't be able to die, right?

Just save her life.

The flames quickly caught their eyes.

During this period of time, they ate and drank well, and their night blindness was not as serious as before.

Wu Yan put the knife horizontally in front of him, mustered up the courage to stand in the front, and other people with swords and sticks surrounded him.

The light of the fire disappeared, and the group put out the fire!

Under the cover of darkness, the other party was approaching them, but they couldn't see where the other party was.

The best way now is actually to run away in all directions. If the other party can use the darkness, so can they.

But Sarah obviously wasn't going to let them escape.

It is easy to escape, but difficult to meet up. Not everyone among them knows the way back.

Sarah's red pupils looked at Wu Yan, and Wu Yan was shocked, knowing that Sarah had seen his thoughts, so he pursed his lips, put aside all the thoughts in his mind, and focused on looking at the woods.

The sound of dead branches being trampled came from the woods.

Cao'er hid behind the tree, she held up the repeating crossbow tremblingly, her hands were shaking, she tried to calm herself down, but her trembling body did not listen to her commands at all.

Sarah said softly, "Here we come."

I don't know who shot the first arrow, they all heard a short cry of pain, but the sound sounded and disappeared in an instant.

The other party is no ordinary bandit!

Ordinary bandits never have the kung fu to hide their whereabouts like this!

Sarah didn't give the employees time to think, she suddenly shouted: "Archery!"

As soon as these words came out, even the trembling Cao'er subconsciously shot arrows forward.

The repeating crossbow can be loaded with twelve arrows, and before Cao'er could react, the loaded arrows were shot empty.

After she finished reloading, when she looked up, she saw someone rushing out of the woods!

She couldn't count how many people there were in total, but felt that these people were as mighty as thousands of troops. Her loading hands were shaking, the more anxious she was, the more uncontrollable the crossbow was, and the arrows she took out fell to the ground. Can only kneel on the ground to load.

Wu Yan only heard a "clang--" in his ear, he blocked the opponent's swinging ax with the long knife, his hand was numb from the shock, the long knife was almost released from his hand in an instant, he couldn't see the opponent's face clearly, But he could see the ax gleaming with cold light.

The moment the long knife landed, Wu Yan subconsciously closed his eyes.

he's dying--
