Shui Wu looked up, and couldn't help but change color in shock. The exclamation of Mrs. Yang's team on the hillside had just drifted into their ears along the mountain wind.
Mrs. Yang's convoy had just reached a corner of the zigzag winding mountain road. The road here was narrower and steeper. The speed of the entire convoy slowed down. The guards on the horses jumped off their horses and led the horses. Step forward and help push that car.
At this time, a few boulders suddenly rolled down the hillside, and the boulders smashed to the ground, bouncing and bouncing with a large amount of gravel and sand whizzing down, the handlebar of the car that Shui Wu was riding in made a startling sound. When he shouted, the first boulder had just landed on the cornered road.
With a bang, the boulder collapsed the road, a large amount of soil rolled down, and a puff of dust and smoke rose from the spot. The gigantic boulder jumped down with a "bang tom" and fell less than a foot in front of the four horses pulling the cart. The four horses were so startled that their front hooves flew into the air and they hissed endlessly.
Because the boulder smashed the ground down, the outermost horse couldn't stand, roared, and slid down the slope. As soon as the horse slid down the hill, the other three horses standing upright were pulled down immediately and slid down the hill.
The carriage was taken out of the road crookedly, slid on the steep slope for a distance of five or six feet, and then rolled over. The horse and the cart rolled together a few times, and the huge torsional force combined with the collision broke the shaft of the cart, the cart separated from the horse, and rolled down even faster.
At this time, a boulder rolled down from behind chasing up and down rumblingly, and hit the rolling car coincidentally, with a loud "boom", the boulder stopped in place for a moment, then bounced up Continue to roll down, and then countless gravel and sand buried the smashed light car.
Seeing this, Shui Wu was heartbroken and screamed: "Mother!" Then she jumped off the mule cart and staggered towards the hillside.
The boulder that smashed the light car fell down two more steps on the mountain road and broke into three pieces, but these three pieces were still very huge, because they split apart, the speed of bouncing and falling became faster, Uncle Snail screamed Said: "Girl! Girl! Dangerous! Dangerous!"
Shui Wu turned a deaf ear and continued to run up the mountain. Seeing the stones rolling down continuously, Uncle Snail was afraid that some stone would have eyes, so he rushed straight towards his mule cart. It was too late to hide, so he hurriedly led the mule around. The body of the car fled away in a hurry, but this time the car was definitely not at a snail's speed.
On the hillside, when the first boulder smashed down the road, the two unlucky guards in front were smashed to pieces. Although the guards behind responded in time and hid everywhere, where could they hide?
What's more, when those boulders rolled down, they brought down too many stones, big and small, even if it was just a fist-sized stone, if it fell down at such a high speed, once it hit their vitals, it would be fatal.
As a result, when the boulders rolled down the mountain one after another, and the gravel and gravel gradually stopped, most of the dozen or so guards had been smashed to death, and only two were left alive. One of them was seriously injured and was dying, and the other Her leg was crushed by a boulder, and she passed out from the pain.
Shui Wu stumbled to the piece of gravel and soil, saw that the light car had been buried by stones and sand, and only part of it was exposed, so she immediately picked it up with all her might. Those stones were just broken, very sharp, Shui Wu was anxious, and digging hard with only one hand, after a while her slender fingers were dripping with blood.
Shui Wu didn't know how long she had been digging. Fortunately, although the car was falling apart, there was still some support between the wood. She dug along a plank that was obviously the roof, and dug away most of the stones and soil pressed on it. Grab the board with both hands and lift it up with all your strength.
She lifted the board repeatedly, and it loosened more and more, and finally she lifted it all at once. What was exposed under the board was Xue Liushi's body that was squeezed out of shape, even her head. They were all deflated, and a deformed head was soaked in blood and flesh.
Shui Wu burst into tears like a fountain, and cried out sadly: "Mother!" and fell headlong to the ground.
Shui Wu spent the past few days chasing Mrs. Yang without sleep, fear and fear. She exhausted all her strength, and just now she broke out in sweat in the valley with a thin line of sky. When he tried his best to dig, he received such a heavy blow and could bear it so much that he fainted immediately.
The empty mountain was silent, and it was not until half an hour later that the sound of horseshoes sounded, and five or six knights rode out from the "line of sky". These five or six knights were all riding tall horses, wearing sun hats, wearing sky-blue riding clothes, with knives hanging on the front of the saddle, and horse bags hanging on the back of the saddle. They were obviously travelers on a long journey.
Not far away, they stopped the horse vigilantly. Although the mountain road was uneven, there was a big hole made by a huge boulder at this moment. Such an obvious sign, how could they not make them vigilant.
One of the knights was slightly shorter, but extremely strong, and he was three points more imposing than the tall and tall knights next to him. The closely guarded knight ordered: "Go! See what's going on!"
Immediately, a knight agreed and rode his horse up the mountain path without hesitation. Several other knights held their knives and looked around coldly. There was no trace of fear in their expressions, and they were quite courageous. Suddenly, one of them pointed at the hillside and said loudly, "Brother, look there!"
The short and sturdy knight in the middle raised his head slowly, his sun hat was always pressed between his eyebrows, and he could only see his appearance clearly when he raised his head. If Ye Xiaotian was here, he must be surprised to see his appearance, because this The middle-aged knight full of quack spirit is Hong Baichuan, a great benevolent man from Hu County.
Hong Baichuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked in the direction where Shui Wu had fainted, raised his jaw slightly, and immediately a knight knowingly threw the reins of the horse to his companion, and rushed towards the place where Shui Wu fainted. After a while, the knight brought back the unconscious Shui Wu.
The man stopped in front of Hong Baichuan, and said to Hong Baichuan: "Brother, it seems that a rock collapsed and killed a person. There is a smashed car there. There are two old women in the car, who have been smashed into pieces. The meat is muddy, and the girl thinks she fainted from grief."
Hong Baichuan looked up at the sky, and there were a few white clouds quietly floating in the blue sky. Hong Baichuan looked down at the deep pit on the ground which was obviously made by a huge boulder, and said with a frown: "The sky is clear and bright, there is no rain. There is no wind, why did the rocks collapse so badly?"
His gaze slowly shifted to Shui Wu again, looked at her muddy but bloody fingers, and said suspiciously: "If you are willing to save people like this, this woman should know the person in the car, maybe Close relatives, but looking at her, she doesn't seem to be attacked by rocks... "
Just as Hong Baichuan was talking, there was a sound of hoofbeats. The knight who was ordered to visit the slope rushed back quickly, clasped his fists and said to Hong Baichuan: "Brother, there are eleven people on the mountain, nine dead and two injured, who are still alive?" One of the two was seriously injured, and it seemed that he was going to die. The other one was just woken up by me. His legs were pressed by a boulder, and I couldn't lift it... "
Hong Baichuan interrupted him and asked, "Have you figured out their identities?"
The knight said: "Yes, that man claimed to be a servant of the Yang family in Jingzhou, and escorted their wife back to Jingzhou. Unexpectedly, when he came here, a large number of boulders suddenly rolled down from the mountain..."
Hong Baichuan interrupted him again, and asked, "But someone is a ghost?"
The knight shook his head and said: "The man said that the incident happened suddenly, and they didn't see anyone at all. The dead and wounded in a short time have become like this."
Hong Baichuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and muttered: "The Yang family in Jingzhou..."
A young man next to him said in a low voice: "Brother, the Yang family in Jingzhou is a branch of the Yang family in Bozhou, people from Yang Yinglong's lineage, we would rather have less than one thing more."
Hong Baichuan nodded, and said to the knight: "Go, let those two who are still alive be crushed to death by rocks."
The knight rode off without hesitation. Hong Baichuan took another look at Shui Wu who was being held unconscious in the arms of another knight, and said without mercy: "Throw her back and kill her as usual."
"yes!"
The man promised, turned around and left, but at this time, Shui Wu in his arms cried out in shock in a coma: "No! Mother! No! Mother! Brother Xiaotian, save me! Ye Xiaotian, hurry up... hurry up!" …”
"Stop!" Hearing Shui Wu's raving, Hong Baichuan immediately called out the knight, with a strange look in his eyes: "What was she shouting just now? But Ye Xiaotian?"
The knight nodded and said, "Yes, brother!"
Hong Baichuan got off the saddle and walked quickly to Shui Wu. Shui Wu's face was covered with tears and sweat, and there were mud marks, but the outline of the facial features remained unchanged. Hong Baichuan looked carefully for a while, and suddenly said: "Ah! So it's her!"
The knight was a little moved and said, "Brother, do you know her?"
Hong Baichuan hesitated for a moment, and ordered: "Take her, let's leave immediately!"
※※※
Shuixi is the political center of Guizhou, and Guiyang is the big stage of this political center, but the territory of the three heavenly kings Song, Tian, and Yang is not on the ground of Shuixi, Shuixi is the territory of An's.
The establishment of the governing seat that governs the entire Guizhou on the territory of the An family is also tantamount to an official recognition of the "King of Tusi" of the An family.
An's family inherited Guizhou's Xuanwei envoy, and was in charge of the forty-eight tribes in Shuixi. The Song family, which is second only to the An family in strength, inherited Guizhou Xuanwei Tongzhi. As the deputy of the An family, they governed the ten major lawsuits of Shuixi, Guizhu, Yanglong, and Zhongcao, so the other big chieftains were only in Guiyang City. In addition to the house, the An family and the Song family also built a house (yamen).
The local people call the An family's Xuanwei Shi Yamen the Dazhaiji, and the Song family's Xuanwei Tongzhi Yamen as the Xiaozhaiji. From the Chenghua period onwards, the heads of the An family and the Song family refused to stay in the Zhaiji mansion, but returned to the house. My base camp is in charge, and despite repeated orders from the court, it still falls on deaf ears, so this big and small house has basically become a symbolic building set up by the two chieftains in Guiyang City.
At this moment, the gate of Da Zhaiji's mansion is still tightly closed, and green grass grows in the cracks in the blue bricks in front of the mansion. However, once someone enters the gate, they will be surprised to find that there are five steps, one post and ten steps in the mansion. After a whistle, the guards were heavily guarded, because the "Toast King" An Guowei had come.
