However, Master and I did not fall into panic because of this bad situation. After all, we have gone through so many storms and our mental qualities have also been developed through simple exercise.
If we want to make the most correct judgment now, the only way is to run towards the mountain. That way we can still have a chance of survival, so we looked at each other. Master didn’t even want his luggage, so he and I had a tacit understanding and ran towards the mountain. run.
And in order to guard against that so-called Qiongqi remnant soul, I secretly planned in my heart, preparing to forcefully release the stupid tiger at the critical moment. I can resist it for a while. My only reliance is that this old man must take care of the town. The situation on the mountain will not stop us from going up the mountain.
As a result, before he could even take two steps, the old man's voice came: "Do you think the ancestral spirits are that simple? Don't force me!"
I didn't want to stop, but I had to stop because I felt a huge aura coming from behind us. If we ran again, I completely believed what the old man said. This stone statue was carved into Qiongqili. There is more power hidden.
Master obviously sensed this kind of aura, and couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to. Almost at the same time, Master also stopped following me.
The two of us almost stared at the old man, our eyes full of helplessness and anxiety... Actually, even if he persisted like this, I don't know why I can't feel disgusted with this old man. I always feel that I can feel it from his previous words. , this old man has a bit of a tough and tough attitude, but his character is still upright and direct.
After all, most men in western Hunan, whether Miao, Han or other ethnic groups, have the same temperament.
Master obviously had the same idea as me, so I didn't feel his dislike for this old man... But in the face of our almost pleading eyes, the old man was still very stiff. He said to me and Master: "Go down... Although my tribe is very important to me, what's more important is that we have to protect the mountain... You go down. These people are only looking for trouble for me and my tribe. You can find an opportunity to leave during the chaos."
His tone was unquestionable, but what he didn't know was that once these people in the car recognized us, they would probably be the first to cause trouble for us, right? And I believe that it is almost impossible that Yang Sheng has not shown my master and me to his subordinates, at least important subordinates. It does not seem that difficult for him to obtain first-hand information about me and my master.
"Get down!" Seeing that Master and I were dawdling motionless, the old man roared angrily, as if he was too lazy to talk to me and Master.
Master and I looked at each other, knowing that we couldn't delay it any longer, and it would not be a wise move to stay here and fight with the spirit body that was almost certainly Qiongqi. It's not that Master and I were really afraid of that Qiongqi, no. Dare to fight it desperately, but say this, and hold up a banner and tell those below that Master and I are here. What is the difference
"Forget it, let's go down. Take it one step at a time." Master said to me.
I simply took off my hiking bag, threw it casually into the grass on the mountain wall next to me, and then started to take off my clothes... The master was stunned for a second, but he quickly reacted and started to take off his clothes.
"What are you doing?" The old man turned his face in confusion and did not stop our action.
This is actually not that Master and I are playing hooligans, we just want to take off these slightly conspicuous mountaineering clothes... After all, although not all people in this town wear Miao costumes, they still wear relatively simple clothes, which can be said to be It’s too late. If Master and I continue like this, aren’t we just two targets
We also threw the mountaineering clothes we took off into the grass, and shamelessly changed into a pair of ordinary pants in front of the old man. Then I pulled up a clump of grass and smeared the mud on my body and face. After some hard work, it looked more... Well, like a very unscrupulous person, Master and I decided to go down the mountain.
What can be done? Since I can't stay on the mountain any longer, why not go down without stopping and see if I can get any opportunities
The road into the mountain from the town does not go through the main street of the town, but an alley separated from the main street... It is not remote, but the houses on both sides are also very well shielded... What is this? It can be considered a blessing among misfortunes, at least it gave Master and me a certain buffer.
Soon we re-entered the town from the mountain, but when we were going down the mountain, we also roughly observed the situation. After entering the town, these cars almost dispersed and quickly surrounded this small town. .. Some of the people in the car got off, and some were left in the car, as if to guard... In short, the town was completely blocked, and it was unclear what they were going to do for a while.
And these people who got off the bus were also very purposeful. After getting off the bus, they didn't care about the glaring people in the town. Instead, they divided into small teams in an orderly manner and began to search along the streets. They broke into houses unscrupulously. It felt like We must force everyone out of this town.
This is all what Master and I saw. It was too late to see what happened next. During this process, Master and I barely communicated, and we both accelerated our pace and rushed towards the town. This kind of thing is simply not possible. There is no need to communicate, even a fool can see that if we delay for some more time, we will not be blocked by these search teams when we go down the mountain. The best choice for us is to blend into the crowd silently.
When we entered the alley going up the mountain, Master and I did not rush into the alley rashly. Instead, we used the houses next to us to block the situation and observed the situation for a few seconds.
The alley was quiet, and at this time of morning, the dew had not yet dried, and the uneven stone roads in the alley were still wet... The air was filled with a mountain atmosphere, and everything seemed normal.
Master and I quickly ran into the alley... But it was obviously unrealistic to go out directly from this alley, because our sudden appearance on the street was very conspicuous. After all, this alley was so quiet and it was on the edge of the town. .. There was no sign of anyone, and it was unclear whether these people had gone out or were hiding in the house. To be careful, Master and I obviously didn’t want to be the two conspicuous ones.
So when we were halfway through the alley, I grabbed the master... and whispered to the master: "Go around this house, go around to the back alleys, and then go out. I just observed that this house The street behind is close to the main street, so going out from there will not be conspicuous.”
Master didn't say much, just nodded...
The house here still retains some of the characteristics of the Miao family's stilted house. My master and I ran up the stairs, but the door of the house was closed. It was not appropriate for me and my master to break in, in case we were alarmed. , but it is a troublesome thing.
So, Master and I kept fighting. I squatted down, Master stepped on my shoulders, and then I used the force of getting up to almost throw Master to the window on the second floor... Master He held the window eaves tightly, then used this strength to pull himself up, then bent his elbows and pushed open the wooden window, and climbed in smoothly.
In this narrow corridor, I had no place to run, so I could only take a step back, then rush forward, leap high, and stretch out my hand. Master immediately grabbed me... With this little strength , I also successfully climbed to the window and climbed into the room.
At this moment, Master and I had just stood to catch our breath when we heard footsteps coming from the alley... Master quickly closed the window gently and hid in the gap behind the window to take a look, and I followed suit. Taking a quick look, by chance, I saw a patrol team approaching the alley.
What is this called? Master and I have passed by such danger many times? Although I lament my luck, I don't think it's anything worth making a fuss about, including the fact that in many books I've seen, the protagonist often escapes at the critical moment due to various coincidences, without feeling the so-called " Dog blood'.
Just because I believe in one sentence, there is righteousness in the world... If a person does correct, even just things, and does a lot of things, it is normal for some luck to come to him.
Even children in kindergarten will be praised and encouraged by their teachers when they help others... Regardless of whether this kind of thing means a lot to many people, it is at least an affirmation of 'righteousness', and God is like a shy girl The family expresses it in the most subtle way, but no matter how euphemistic it is, it is always expressed.
At this moment, I just had this idea, and my experience again and again proved that my idea was correct... But time no longer allowed me to think about it too much, so almost subconsciously, I followed Master's footsteps and walked out of the room. , and began to look for a place with a rear window. According to the architectural habits of Miao Village, this should have a rear window.
I don't want to just walk out of this room, only to see an old man who is blind in one eye, standing in the dark corridor looking at us, and we have to go to the opposite room to go through the window of that room. Go to another street.
I became nervous all of a sudden, and Master's body became a little stiffer... The old man raised his head and glanced at us. The only remaining eye was dim and blurry, and it was hard to see clearly what the look was.
At that moment, the atmosphere seemed completely tense and stagnant, turning into a virtual paste. Five seconds? Or ten seconds? The old man's nose suddenly twitched a few times. He closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a room for us.
Master and I were stunned for a moment, what does this mean? I was just prepared to pounce on this old man if he had any overreaction. No matter what, I must stop him quickly. What does it mean to make such an action now
"That room has windows." The old man said lazily, then turned around... and actually went downstairs.
Master and I were left completely unable to react.
