Chapter 125 Two Teams!
While eating grilled fish and barbecue, Cen Xiyan clicked his lips with regret, "It's a pity that there is no wine. When you go to the next town, you must buy a jar of good wine and take it with you!"
After hearing what Cen Xiyan said, Guli Xiaman didn't think anything of it. It was normal for men to drink well.
Cang Qing, who was on the side, glanced at Cen Xiyan, moved the corners of her mouth, but finally endured it and said nothing.
If Cen Xiyan was dressed in women's clothing at this moment, he would have to say, "Women should not be greedy for drinks." But now that she is wearing men's clothing, it is difficult to say this.
After the three of them had eaten and packed their things, Cang Qing pulled a large bundle of firewood nearby, which was enough to burn for one night. After the preparations were completed, they planned to rest.
Cen Xiyan and Cang Qing agreed to take turns to watch the night, one person would watch half the night, Cang Qing would watch the first half of the night, and Cen Xiyan would watch the second half of the night. As for Guli Xiaman, after all, she was a weak woman who didn't know martial arts and didn't go out often.
Even gods are inferior to the two of them, so they exempted her from keeping vigil.
Guli Xiaman knew in her heart that she could not compare with Cen Xiyan and Cang Qing, and she was not pretentious, insisting on keeping watch at night or something like that. After washing herself by the stream, she climbed into the shack to rest.
This is the first time Gulishaman has slept in the wild in her whole life. Not far away is the mountain forest. Although it is very close to the official road and the forest is not too big, there are also some insects, birds, and wild beasts at night.
The sound made Gulishaman feel a little scared, but when she thought about the bonfire outside the shack and the night watchers, they were all good at martial arts and seemed not weak, she felt a little more at ease.
I was really tired from traveling these past few days, so I fell asleep after a while.
Cenxiyan needs to be energetic in the first half of the night so that he can change his mood in the second half of the night.
There was nothing to say in the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, Cen Xiyan got up and changed posts with Cang Qing, letting Cang Qing go to rest. As soon as she added a few pieces of firewood to the fire, her face suddenly changed and she leaned down and
Listen on the ground.
In the distance, there seems to be the sound of horse hooves, heading this way! And judging from the sound, there are quite a few people!
At this time, Cang Qing, who had just entered the shack to rest for a short time, had also come out, acting in unison with Cen Xiyan, listening to the sounds in the distance.
"There are about thirty people." Cen Xiyan said.
"Yes." Cang Qing nodded, with a solemn look on his face.
Cen Xiyan frowned and said: "It's so late. Who is it that would be in such a hurry? It's a bit unusual..."
"Hide?" Cang Qing asked.
"Okay." Cen Xiyan nodded, "Put out the fire and let's go to the forest."
There were a lot of people on the other side, making such a big noise in the middle of the night. They were certainly not ordinary people on the road. It was necessary to avoid them. It was better to do less than to do more.
Cang Qing quickly started to put out the fire, while Cen Xiyan went to wake up Guli Xiaman, "Guli, wake up."
"Is it dawn yet?" Gulishaman asked drowsily.
"It's not day yet, but we have to go into the woods."
"What happened?" Guli Xiaman quickly came out of the shack and asked in surprise when she saw Cang Qing putting out the fire and Cen Xiyan untying the horse's reins.
"A group of people is coming this way. I don't know who they are. Let's get out of the way first." Cen Xiyan replied, but his hand movements did not stop.
Gulishaman was surprised when she heard this. Although she had not heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, she had no doubt about Cen Xiyan's words and quickly helped pack things.
The three of them moved quickly, extinguished the fire, dismantled the shack, got on horseback, and walked into the woods.
Cen Xiyan and Cang Qing heard the sound of horseshoes because they had excellent ears. In fact, when they heard the sound, the team of people and horses were still some distance away from where they were camping. The three of them had been hiding in the woods.
, the sound of horse hoofbeats became clearer and clearer, and they were getting closer and closer to the forest.
Cen Xiyan jumped lightly on the horse's back, then flew up and landed silently on the crown of a big tree nearby, looking into the distance.
Cang Qing followed suit, flew up another big tree, and looked in the direction from which the horse team came.
Gulishaman had no way to climb the tree. Although she also wanted to know the situation of the team, she was not a person who would cause trouble to others, so she stayed under the tree alone without daring to breathe.
One sound.
At this time, the shadows of the group of people could already be seen, and several of them were holding torches. It was easy to count the number of people. There were less than thirty people, probably twenty-seven or eight people.
"This is not one group of people, but two groups of people!" Cen Xiyan suddenly whispered.
"Yeah." Cang Qing nodded, her frown deepening.
The people coming here, to be precise, should be the five people in front, being chased by more than 20 people in the back. The five people in the front are in a mess, staggering on their horses, and the people in the back are imposing.
Fierce, very tough.
As those people got closer and closer to the forest, it could be seen that the five people in front were dressed as Han people, but the people chasing after them were not Han people.
"Why are it them again!" After seeing the people in front of him clearly, Cen Xiyan couldn't help but said depressedly.
The people who were being chased in front were in a panic. If it wasn’t Wei San and the others, who could they be?
As for those who were chasing them, the men all had blue or black turbans on their heads, blankets on their bodies, and earrings in their left ears. Among the people leading the group, one was a woman wearing a turban on her head.
They have red tassels and beads on their heads, a waistcoat with colorful flowers on a green background, and a brightly colored pleated skirt. They wear a lot of silver jewelry. Judging from their dress, they must be Yi people!
Cen Xiyan frowned, why did Wei San and the others offend the Yi people? After thinking about it for a moment, her heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered that on the way to Yuhuang City, she took Wei San and others on a mountain road, and Zhao Er,
Chen Liu and the others picked Yi trees on the mountain to bury their mummies. Could it be that these guys revealed the truth and the Yi people found out about it, so they hunted them down?
At this time, Wei San and others had already run to the edge of the woods. When they saw the newly extinguished and still smoking fire at the edge of the woods, as well as several destroyed simple shacks nearby, they couldn't help but be startled.
"Is there anyone nearby?" Chen Liu asked in confusion.
"Someone also ran away, and his grandma refused to save her until she died!" Zhao Er gasped and cursed.
At this time, the people behind had already caught up. A leader-looking man at the front said loudly: "I advise you not to run away. If you continue to run, you are just asking for trouble. You can't escape."
!”
"Brother, you have been chasing us for four days, why bother pushing us so hard?" Wei San sighed.
