Chapter 17: A Chance Encounter on the Way
I don't know when the drizzle will stop, and the woods exude a damp smell of dampness and rotten leaves. The next day, the fiery red sun hung again in the sky, and the golden rays of sunlight shone through the withered yellow branches and leaves in the trees, shining brightly on the trees.
In the middle of the day, when it was close to noon, Wang Cancai led a group of Yellow Turban soldiers to return to Runan City slowly.
Because Bao Hong's 4,000 soldiers were tired, it was definitely impossible to directly attack Runan after arriving at Runan.
Moreover, more than 100 people under Wang Can's command hurriedly returned to Runan, which was of little use, and Liu Pi and Gong Du guarded Runan City, Wang Can took the army to walk slowly, and he could return to Runan in half a day, but Wang Can took a hundred people for two days, and he had not returned to Runan City, but only marched to Fupi County, Runan City.
On the official road, Wang Can and the others slowly advanced.
Suddenly, a yellow turban scout quickly ran up to Wang Can and replied, "My lord, there are bandits in front of you who are robbing passers-by who are heading to other places, and these people are robbing passers-by and blocking the way of the army's advance. ”
Wang Can smiled: "This group of bandits hasn't discovered us yet? ”
The scout replied, "No, these bandits are looting, and there are some young and beautiful women among the robbed people, and it is estimated that those women will be caught in the bandits' den as the wife of the village." ”
In his tone, the scout had a hint of regret and pity, as if he wished that he had snatched those young and beautiful women away.
Wang Can's eyes were cold, he glanced at the scout, and snorted coldly.
The scout's body trembled, and he instantly understood that Wang Can was unhappy in his heart, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "My lord, how to deal with those bandits who robbed in broad daylight?" ”
Wang Can said: "Lead the way!" ”
"No!" The scout responded, then turned around and led the way, Wang Can turned around and greeted Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, and the two of them ran up quickly, keeping up with Wang Can's footsteps, Pei Yuanshao asked angrily: "Lord, is there something going on in front?" ”
Zhou Cang also nodded, looking at Wang Can with an inquiring look.
Wang Can smiled and nodded, patted Pei Yuanshao, and said with a playful smile: "Old Pei, you are twenty-four this year, right?" ”
Pei Yuanshao snorted and nodded, with doubts in his eyes, Wang Can usually calls him by his name, how did he become so affectionate today?
"Well, that's good!"
Wang Can laughed, then took the longbow in his hand and shouted: "Let's go, go to the play!" ”
After turning three corners and marching five hundred meters ahead, Wang Can finally saw the robbery of the bandits mentioned by the scouts, this group of bandits numbered about thirty people, each in ragged clothes, holding worn-out war knives, rusty iron forks, wooden sticks and other weapons in their hands. Among the bandits, only a thin middle-aged man with a scarf wrapped around his head and a fan in his hand was wearing a complete azure robe, and at the same time standing among the bandits, holding a bright steel knife in his hand, and the strong man who was shouting was slightly better.
Looking at the outfits of the two, it is easy to understand that one is a dog-headed military advisor and the other is a bandit leader.
"Women, take them all; Man, kill them all! ”
The thin middle-aged man with a pu fan in his hand smiled coldly, his small eyes stared at the women who were in better shape, his eyes showed a lustful and evil color, he shook the pu fan while shouting loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, eh, it's rare to go down the mountain, why are you so stupid, take those women with you, kill those men and children, and leave no one alive!" ”
"Ji Ji~~ There are several beauties this time, it's worth the trip, it's worth the trip!"
The thin middle-aged man's small eyes stared at the breasts and buttocks of several slightly better women who were circled together, and sighed, and the throat gurgled non-stop.
The leader of the bandits looked at the women who were circled together, and there was a burning look in his eyes.
Women, especially beautiful women, these bandits like to be tight.
This group of people are all carrying burdens on their bodies, ready to move their families, but they don't want to meet the bandits who came down the mountain, surrounded by groups, at this time the adult men in the people were killed one by one, and the rest were just some women and children, the children hid in the arms of the women, and their eyes showed a look of horror, but after the thieves killed the adult men, their eyes were exposed to the children, and these children had begun to be sensible, so the thieves would not let go of any child.
The leader of the bandits, with his knife in hand, walked slowly towards the woman with the best figure among the women.
The woman was about twenty-six years old, with a beautiful face, a melon seed face that was happy and disgusting, and seemed to have infinite charm. She was protecting a little boy of about twelve years old in her arms, the boy's body was tense, with a stubborn expression, bright eyes staring at the middle-aged man who was walking slowly, and a look of fear in his eyes flashed away, but it was replaced by a hideous color in an instant.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Lao Tzu to meet such a woman, it's really lucky!"
He carried the knife, while laughing, staring at the woman's face, the desire in his eyes was not concealed at all, the wolf-like eyes wanted to push the woman in front of him to the ground and knead it, but when his eyes fell on the little boy in the woman's arms, looking at the boy's hideous look, his heart trembled, and then he sneered again, the little fart child, they are all people who are about to die, and they are still dragging like this, hehe, Lao Tzu will send you to the west sky.
The woman was even more frightened when she saw the man's hideous look and the undisguised desire in his eyes.
She stood up suddenly, rushed towards the strong man opposite, and yelled at the boy in her arms: "Amon, run, run!" ”
It's a pity that the woman's strength is too small, and she didn't cause any harm to the strong man at all, but was grabbed by the strong man's wrist, and then took it into his arms, and hugged the woman in his arms, he reached out and touched the woman's delicate skin, sighed in his mouth, and said: "Wait for Lao Tzu to kill that child, and then let the beauty enjoy some endless fun!" ”
The man smiled, and walked towards the boy with the woman in his arms.
The boy looked hideous, but instead of being frightened by the strong man and turned to run away, he picked up the stone on the ground, screamed, and rushed towards the strong man.
The strong man sighed, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes, but he raised the steel knife in his hand and slashed at the boy, the woman in the strong man's arms roared, a pretty face suddenly turned pale, crystal tears flowed down, she closed her eyes, and a touch of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Whew~~~"
Just when the strong man's steel knife was raised, a slight bowstring vibration sounded, and in an instant, a pitch-black bow and arrow flew out, heading straight for the strong man, the strong man just raised the steel knife in his hand, and before he could fall, a pitch-black bow and arrow on his forehead had penetrated the past.
"Bang dang!"
The steel knife in the strong man's hand fell to the ground with a bang, his eyes were full of consternation, and he reluctantly turned around, only to see a smiling young man holding a longbow in his hand, with a look of disdain on his face. He roared twice, as if to vent the anger in his heart, but the pain in his mind made the strong man's eyes dark, and after a while, the unwilling look in the strong man's eyes gradually dissipated, and finally lost his spirit, plopped, and fell to the ground.
The boy ran up and saw the strong man lying on the ground motionless, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
But in an instant, he was replaced by a determined look, threw away the stone in his hand, picked up the steel knife that the strong man had dropped on the ground, walked to the strong man, and while yelling, he chopped the strong man's body, the steel knife was very heavy, and the boy had some difficulty picking it up, but the boy kept shouting, chopping the strong man's body, and after a while, the boy threw away the steel knife in his hand, and threw himself into the woman's arms, crying.
At this time, the strong man's body had been chopped by the boy, and it was miserable.
Wang Can walked slowly, seeing the boy's actions, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, this boy's courage is indeed good.
