Shooting the Condors: Mandarin Ducks and Ducks

In the hot sun, everything was tortured by Qiuhu and was very tired.On a road next to the mountains and the water, there were horses and chariots approaching from a distance, and smoke and dust rose everywhere they passed.

When the chariots and horses got closer, they realized that the team was very large. The surroundings of six or seven carriages were tightly covered, and there must be two people guarding each carriage, looking very cautious.

This is the group of hitchhikers that Su Yuan took. It turned out that the carriages were full of precious medicinal materials. After receiving the darts, everyone in the escort agency naturally didn't want to let things go wrong. Therefore, it has been three days since the trip, and the journey is still very tense. Be careful, but this is a pain for Su Yuan.

Su Yuan originally wanted to pick up a bargain and make it convenient. How could she have imagined that these people would be so prepared. For the past three days, her life has been extremely bitter. It's okay to stay in a closed space every day and not dare to stretch her head out. , Even eating, drinking, and lassing have to wait until everyone takes turns to be on duty at night before they can hurry up and solve the problem. Life is hard!If she hadn't been in the last car, Su Yuan would have cried to death...

At noon that day, Su Yuan was drowsily catching up on sleep in the carriage when she suddenly felt that the carriage was stopped by someone, and the voice of the head of the bodyguard came from not far ahead: "Brothers, let's go fast for a few minutes. Today, it is only half a day away from Liujia Town. I think the sun is very poisonous. This place is shaded by mountains and rivers. Let's unload the carriages here and rest for a while. Each car goes alone. Drink the horses, prepare dry food for one person, and set off after an hour of rest!" After hearing this, everyone performed their duties without mentioning it.

Su Yuan heard that the two people around her were gone, and after waiting for a while, before there was any movement, she carefully raised a corner of the straw curtain of the carriage, and saw that everyone was drinking horses, and those who were preparing dry food also formed a group in the shade at the foot of the mountain. I chatted with the guys, but there was no one around me.Thinking of the cool river water, Su Yuan couldn't hold back anymore. In the past three days, she just took the opportunity to change a set of clothes. Where there is no chance to wash, she can only use the water that was put in the space to wipe her face with a cloth every day. , don't be too awkward.

Now that the head of the bodyguard said that he had to rest for two hours, he felt that this opportunity must not be missed.The people who drank the horses gradually went back to rest with their companions. Su Yuan, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention to the movement, got out of the carriage and rolled into the tall weed pile by the river.

Everyone's horses were still grazing upstream, and Su Yuan didn't have the time to dislike the fact that the downstream water source was polluted by a group of animals. The amount has not grown to be relatively short and under the cover of weeds, I quietly take off my shoes and socks to soak my feet.Su Yuan enjoyed it for a while, watching everyone in the bodyguard bureau lead the horse back and prepare to drive, knowing that the departure was about to start, she didn't dare to delay any longer, she was quietly putting on her shoes and socks, when suddenly there was a shout of killing not far away The sound, the sound was extremely high, and the momentum was overwhelming, tearing apart the peace not long ago.

Su Yuan was frightened in an instant, and quickly squatted in the haystack without daring to move, watching a group of bodyguards pick up their swords and go up to meet them. Obviously, although the incident was urgent, everyone was already prepared.

It turned out that this was a group of bandits from the nearby Crouching Tiger Mountain. They usually blackmailed the caravans passing by in every possible way. These days, the expenses in the stockade were tight, and everyone disregarded the rules of the road. He had inquired clearly a long time ago, and knew that this batch of medicinal materials would surely sell for a good price. Now that the fat meat was ready to slip away under their noses, how could the bandits hold back.

The two groups are not kind people, swords and swords, you come and go, and the fight is very lively.Both sides were mad at the killing, how could they still be rational, although they were not martial arts experts, but relying on their brute force, the killing was very tragic, one careless would result in a severed arm and a broken leg.One of them, who looked like a bandit leader, even picked out the viscera and intestines of a bodyguard with a big knife in an instant.

Su Yuan was startled for a long time, she had never seen such a bloody scene in her past and present lives combined.Hearing the shouts of beatings and killings close at hand, and seeing the scene of severed limbs flying out, I couldn't help but want to vomit, but I was afraid that the bandits would hear it, so I could only cover my mouth with both hands, and desperately controlled myself to prevent myself from falling. He made a sound, afraid that he would become the soul under the knife in the next second, but the tears kept falling down and could not be stopped.

Su Yuan was terrified. She hated the disorder of the world and hated her own incompetence. This feeling that life would be destroyed at any time if she couldn't control it made her never want to be strong like she is today.Su Yuan has always lived under the sunshine of a society ruled by law, and has never been exposed to too much darkness and shadow, let alone the current situation.

She desperately wanted to stand up and hide anywhere, but found that she was trembling all over, her legs couldn't exert any strength, and her hands that were barely supporting her were already numb.She didn't even have the strength to keep squatting down, so she fell straight down in the grass.

She took a mouthful of mud in her mouth, and her face was scratched by weeds, but Su Yuan didn't notice it.She needs to calm down!If she wants to survive, she must be calm!Biting her own lips tightly until the bright red blood streaked out, Su Yuan finally regained a trace of her sanity.

Seeing the two groups of people fighting fiercely in the direction Su Yuan and the others came from, Su Yuan slowly crawled in the opposite direction, moving forward small by small in a crawling posture.People on both sides beat violently, but no one noticed that there was a child in the weeds.

Su Yuan crawled forward with hands and feet together, not daring to stop even for a breath, and she didn't know how long she crawled, and finally she couldn't support herself and lay down completely.

While breathing heavily, while listening intently to the movement in the distance, it was not until a long time later that he dared to confirm that he was really temporarily safe.

It was as if all the fears came over at once, and the sense organs in the body seemed to be aware of it, and the whole body was so limp, and he tried to raise his hands, which were full of small cuts.

Su Yuan climbed to the river with support, and cleaned the dirt on her face and hands, but found that she didn't prepare any medicine, and the injury on her hand was not serious, so she took out a few pieces of cloth from the space, tore them off and tied them on. , finally better.

After resting for a while, Su Yuan didn't dare to stop, and planned to continue on her way while it was still early.This time there is no need to crawl forward, the speed is naturally faster, but it is difficult to reach Liujia Town before dark, after all, she has no horses or carts, and she is a child with insufficient legs, so she can't walk for too long Yes, so she must be resting on the road today.

As Su Yuan walked, she checked if there was any place to live. After walking for a while, she was really tired. Seeing no movement behind her for a long time, she guessed that the bandits and bodyguards were gone. So I thought about finding a big tree to rest against for a while.

Tired and hungry, Su Yuan took out some steamed buns, fruit and water from the space, ate and drank everything, and finally felt that her physical strength had returned.After resting for a while, seeing that the sun had already set to the west, Su Yuan never thought about traveling at night, nor did she have the guts to do so, so she thought about finding a place to rest as soon as possible for the night, and continuing her journey in the morning will surely reach the town.

On the way, Su Yuan also saw some caves, but in this era where animals are not in the zoo, she dare not just find a place to rest, and if she is not careful, she will be taken for snacks by wild animals.But when passing through those caves, they are also marked, so that there is a place to make do for a night when they can't find it.

However, her luck was not too bad. When the night was approaching, she still found a place to live, which is often seen in novels and TV dramas - the Earth Temple.

This is a temple that has been abandoned for a long time, and it is really dilapidated. There are not many places that can shelter from the wind and rain.Su Yuan leaned against the wall in the temple and ate something, then found a place that could barely be covered and cleaned it out.There was no such things as dry straw in the temple, and Su Yuan didn't dare to go out to find firewood, but fortunately she was thoughtful and brought a lot of winter outfits.

A thick quilt was spread on the ground, and several cotton robes were wrapped around her body. Although it was already a bit cold in the early autumn night, Su Yuan was not cold.

After a day of worrying and fear and walking for a long time, Su Yuan didn't have the energy to worry about whether she was safe or not, so she casually put the small dagger she had hit before under the quilt and fell into a dream.Fortunately, nothing happened overnight, until the sun shot into the dilapidated temple the next day, she rubbed her eyes and slowly got up to tidy up.

All the things were put into the space in one go, Su Yuan only left some dry food in the bag, put the dagger in her bosom and set off on the road.

It took only two hours to arrive at Liujia Town. Looking at the peaceful scene of people coming and going on the street, and thinking about what the bodyguards said was only thirty miles away from the county seat, Su Yuan's heart felt at ease now. All the thrilling events of yesterday seemed to be in a trance after a century.Not wanting to think about yesterday's situation, Su Yuan found an inn and paid Xiao Er to deliver food and bath water to her room, intending to reward herself.

Su Yuan was not a child at all, and with the running around these days, she has grown up, so even though she still looks like a child, her performance often makes others feel like a calm adult, and no one despises her. After Yan sent the things away, he closed the door intimately, not to disturb.

After eating a hot meal and taking a hot bath, Su Yuan felt that she was alive again.Seeing that it was still early, Su Yuan made a special trip to the pharmacy to buy some medicines for bruises, it's always good to be prepared.Since she already planned to leave tomorrow, Su Yuan knew that she was not going fast, so she planned to rest early and set off before dawn, and she could always arrive before dark, so she didn't have to spend the night outside.

After recharging her energy, Su Yuan set off when the rooster crowed for the first time, walked and rested along the way, and finally saw the two big characters "Zhijiang" above the city gate before the city gate closed.
