Chapter 1215
The foal had already thought of a countermeasure, he was not afraid that he would be exposed, and he would not dare to do such a dangerous thing if he was not completely sure.
"Brother Yan, I saw that my brothers didn't believe me, so I deliberately told a little lie and carried you out, but I also have a good heart, so that my brothers can hurry up tomorrow!"
The foal opens his mouth to defend himself.
One-eyed frowned and said: "What nonsense, this is not the point, the point is that you are not afraid that you will arrive at the camp tomorrow, and the brothers will settle accounts with you, what do you want to do?" ”
Actually, what One-Eyes wants to say is that you would be so kind as to let the brothers go faster, just thinking about him and the leader, and the foal was not so understanding in his impression at all.
In addition, the most disturbing thing for One-Eye is that both of them have been captured by officers and soldiers, although in the end they were both released, but it is difficult to guarantee that no one among them will be bribed by the officers and soldiers, before, he did not suspect the foal, but at this moment, seeing that the pony is so intimate for him and the leader, he actually used deception to coax the brothers to go faster, which seems a bit abnormal, and the abnormality will definitely be problematic, One-Eye is so shrewd, naturally there will be suspicions.
The foal pretended to be calm and said: "Brother Eye, I didn't lie, after passing that valley, there is indeed a good place, at least a few years ago it was a good place, and now it should be not much worse, what valley you mentioned a few days ago, I still don't understand where it is, but along the way, I suddenly felt some familiarity, I seemed to have an impression of some sections of the road yesterday and today, I did walk here a few years ago, and I remember that there seems to be a river valley in front of me, so think about it, this thing is right, That place is just east of the valley you mentioned, I remember it clearly, and I can't be wrong, I dare to take the head of the head of the person who promised. ”
Seeing that the foal was both a curse and an oath, One-Eye could not believe it, he felt that he was overly worried, there was nothing wrong with the foal, but he did come here many years ago, maybe there was such a good place in the east of the river valley, as long as it was a place with few people and lush vegetation, wild fruits and all kinds of prey were generally not missing, maybe the foal was telling the truth.
"What you say is true?"
One-Eye finally asked.
"Of course it's true, this thing can still be fake, I don't dare to lie to you?"
The foal continued to speak calmly, not showing any nervousness.
"That's good, I'm tired of the day, let's rest early! By the way, stew the pheasant first, and I'll send it later. ”
One-eyed spoke.
"Okay, no problem, right away."
The foal readily agreed.
Out of the tent door, the foal breathed a sigh of relief, it was so dangerous just now, if he was seen by one eye, he would be very troubled, the consequences were very serious, fortunately he was clever enough, easily and skillfully resolved this crisis, and let himself get through this difficulty.
The horse thieves, who were full of hope, walked in a different way, and they seemed a little excited, these days were too hard, and they riveted their strength, and prepared to get up early the next day and run wildly, and after crossing the valley, they stopped at the place where the foal said, and gathered some wild fruits, and hunted more game to improve their lives, and this was their most simple idea.
Of course, if they knew that the officers and soldiers were waiting for them in front of them, and they didn't know how they would feel, they would probably have a heartbreak!
The foal moved quickly, and immediately served the roasted pheasant to One-Eye, and at this time, the leader of the horse thieves, who had been belated, had just sat down, and they were still much slower than the team in front of them, although the distance was only less than ten miles, but because the road conditions were too difficult to walk, they were delayed a lot, causing them to arrive a long time slower than the team in front.
After setting up the tent, the team behind began to rest, the leader of the horse thieves ate with One-Eye as usual, they are good partners, they like to be tired of being together at any time, even eating is no exception, there are many things, it can also be well carried out at the dinner table, such as discussing the next move, you can discuss while eating.
"Big brother, try this just-made pheasant, it's not delicious when it's cold."
One-eyed spoke.
The leader of the horse thieves looked at the foal who had come in to deliver the food, and said, "This boy is the pheasant he hunted!" Quite capable! Yes, very good, a talent! ”
"Big brother, is there more than that? Brother Pony did us a great favor today? ”
"Oh, what a rush!"
"When it comes to tomorrow, the eldest brother will naturally be clear."
"Hehe, it's okay to sell it with me, then wait another day, anyway, I'm not in a hurry, I have time and effort, haha!"
While the two were laughing, the foal calmly left.
Tonight, it will be the last night of the pony in the group of horse thieves, speaking of these days in the horse thief's lair, the little pony is not excited at all, there is just helplessness and remorse, he does not like the horse thief's way of life, the reason why he became a horse thief in the first place, is completely an accident, a big accident, this accident made his whole life have a stain, can be described as sad and helpless, now, finally to see the sun, his mood is naturally quite excited.
However, in the years of living in the horse thief group, he also has some feelings, at least, get along with some horse thieves day and night, it is impossible to think that there is no emotion, people can be ruthless, the little horse thief is also a very ordinary person, how can he be an exception.
Especially with the fat man is the deepest feelings, he and the fat man day and night, has long produced a very deep feelings, this special feeling makes him unforgettable, if the fat man has a little accident in the future, he will be very sad, in addition, in order to complete this task, he did not lie to the fat man, this heart is also very unpleasant, this kind of depressed mood, the foal has always been alone, he can't tell anyone, and no one can help him.
However, this kind of torturous days will soon pass, tomorrow they will smoothly enter the Lushui River Valley, a place with steep terrain, when the time comes, they will be caught without resistance, and none of them can run, although at that time, he can be used as a hero, wash away his own shame, but the fat man and others who get along with him day and night, may face great suffering, they as horse thieves, captured alive by the officers and soldiers, how can they have a good end, and the future days may not be what it will look like?
The foal wants to help the fat man and give the fat man some opportunities to make meritorious contributions, but the risk of doing so is too great, in case the fat man does not listen to himself and goes to the leader of the horse thieves to secretly inform, then his little life will be lost, so, for his absolute safety, the foal must not tell him that he was rebelled by the officials and soldiers, and he must pretend to be the same as usual, because one wrong step will lose all the plates, for his absolute safety, the foal has no other way to go.
For his own safety, he has no choice but to deceive his friend, even if that friend is his best friend, and that's the price, the price of the foal's friendship for his future.
Before going to bed at night, the foals are encouraged to rest early and go hunting in the valley early tomorrow, as long as they are fast enough to arrive in the afternoon, so that they will have enough time to hunt for their prey there.
I have to say that the foal's agitation is very effective, in the early morning of the second day, the sky is still dark, and the horse thieves under the command of One-Eye got up early, they moved very lightly, for fear of waking up another group of people and horses who were still asleep, their two groups of people and horses were less than fifty meters apart, almost next to each other, but as long as the action was light enough, it was not easy to be found, and it was nothing to find out, and it was wrong to go early.
In order to save time as much as possible, they didn't even eat breakfast, but someone boiled enough hot water in advance, prepared a small pot for everyone, they walked on the road, they could eat dry food while drinking hot water, anyway, the first part of the road is relatively flat, can fully meet the conditions of eating and walking, and when the road conditions are not very good, it can not do this.
They set out an hour earlier than usual, an hour that would allow them to walk a long way and ensure that they could reach their destination faster, so that they could reach the good place that the foal said they would be able to spend the night.
"Brothers, work hard! You must not let the people behind catch up, you must not! ”
The foal speaks to cheer up and looks excited.
After all, the task is about to be completed, how can the foal not be happy, the happy mood can not be expressed in words, he tried his best to boost morale, but also to let the horse thieves go faster, the faster the horse thieves walk, and the greater the distance between the horse thieves and the horse thieves behind, so that even if all the horse thieves in front were captured by the officers and soldiers, the horse thieves in the back still don't know anything? This is the most critical factor in the success of the plan, so the foal must go all out to boost the morale of the horse thieves, so that the horse thieves rush forward desperately, and finally paralyze in the Lushui River Valley, so that even if his mission is overfulfilled, he will be able to get the commendation of Ang Lee and Lao Guo, and the identity of the horse thief before will not affect his personal future too much, so he will be so hard-working, will be so desperate.
Seeing the foal working so hard, One-Eye always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't find anything wrong, every word the pony said was so reasonable, it was so impeccable, so that even if he wanted to find trouble with the foal, there was no reason for him, and now the pony's prestige was even higher than him, if he punished the foal without any evidence, he would inevitably be attacked by the horse thieves, you must know that most of these people under his command were the people of the previous brothers, There is hardly one of his henchmen, the foal and the fat man have been captured with him, this is already the most confidant, and the rest of the people are not as good as them? If he couldn't even trust the foal, One-Eye felt that he really didn't have anyone to trust, so even if he felt that something was wrong in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, he felt that it was probably because he was too sensitive! Otherwise, how could he even doubt the foal who had been with him for so long, this person could doubt it, and who else could not doubt it, so everyone in the team was suspicious.
One-Eye frowned from time to time, thinking about the flaws, but each time, before he could think of a result, the foal had already come up with it.
"Brother Yan, look at the big stone in front of you, is it very familiar, a few years ago, when I passed by here, I lay on this big stone for a long time, and rested for half an hour before continuing to hurry, at that time, my brother and I together, but unfortunately I couldn't leave a mark, it's a pity."
The foal said with a look of regret.
Without waiting for One-Eye to ask, the pony thief next to him asked, "Brother Pony, what is your brother's name?" ”
"What else can you call it, big foal!"
A horse thief coaxed.
However, the foal was not angry, and said with a smile: "That's right, my brother is the big foal, he is a very wonderful person, he once killed a wolf with his bare hands, is it amazing. ”
"Kill a wolf, or empty-handed, who to lie?"
"If you don't blow it, you can die! It is definitely not possible to fight a wolf with bare hands, but as long as there is a dagger, the wolf is not so terrible, and it can kill with a single knife. ”
The thieves were a little incredulous, but no one cared what the big foal was up to, only One-Eye.
"Little Pony, what does your brother Big Pony do? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? ”
One-eyed spoke.
"My brother is a merchant to charge goods, that is, errands, because of his high ability, so he is very important, a few years ago he followed the merchant to the south, this time I haven't seen it for many years, and I don't know what it's like now, how are you doing."
The foal spoke.
"Why didn't you come along?"
One-Eye asked.
The foal replied, "I really wanted to go, and cried and shouted that I wanted to go, but I was too young at the time for the merchant to ask for me, saying that it would be a few years before they wanted me, but unfortunately after several years, they never came back, and I wonder if they forgot me." ”
Walking and chatting all the way, everyone was full of motivation, everyone was full of strength, and they were tired of sweating in the winter.
At noon, after a little refreshment, the group continued on their way, and in the afternoon they were to cross the valley of the Lushui River and camp in the place that the foal had said, to see if it was really as good as the foal said.
