Chapter 5: Night

Ying Yiqiang cheered up, strode the meteor, and chased the horseshoe prints without relaxing for a moment. He was a little tired. In the mountains for two days, I didn't have a good rest, and a series of bad news happened, and I didn't have much rest last night, and I gritted my teeth and made two points in a row.

Although the body is stronger, the fatigue of the mind is difficult to calm.

And the apocalyptic sights and stories along the way have made the mental burden even heavier.

Cao Cao has a poem, placed at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which is also very appropriate: the white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. The vast land is cold and cold, and when you look at it, there is no people. The white bones on both sides of the road, the thin corpses, and the ghostly crows build up an extremely depressing picture.

The Central Plains should be the most prosperous place. However, since the climate changed gradually in the late Wanli period, natural disasters occurred suddenly, and the Central Plains experienced vicissitudes of life for many years, and was already exhausted. Since Chongzhen, thieves have ravaged Henan several times, turning this prosperous area into ruins.

Where did the thief Li Zicheng's army of hundreds of thousands come from? Aren't they all coerced people?

What kind of sin is it that such a prosperous land is now white?

Yingyi used to deceive himself, thinking that he could be a turtle with a shrunken head if he turned a blind eye, but now everything he has experienced and seen has made him feel cold all over his body. What kind of suffering the people of this land have endured!

The more she saw, the more anger grew in Yingyi's heart. It was almost turned into substance, burning him uncomfortably and making him breathless.

On a low slope on the side of the road, Yingyi raised her eyes and looked out. The surrounding area used to be farmland, but now it is full of weeds. The bark on the low slope has long been scraped away. I don't know how many hungry people have passed through here.

In the last days, it is difficult to preserve trees and flowers. Probably only in the deep mountains and old forests, in places that are difficult for people to reach.

Ying Yi took a breath, and the cold air entered his lungs, which lifted his spirits.

The horses' hoof prints on the official road became clearer, and the horse manure left behind became fresher and fresher, and he knew that the thieves should be not far ahead.

Jumping off the low slope, Yingyi stepped on the wild grass, walked along the official road, and on the eve of the sunset, Yingyi's ears heard the faint neighing of horses.

There is a dead forest in front of it, perhaps dying because of the scarcity of rainfall these years, but more likely because the bark has been stripped and died. The official road bypassed the edge of the woods, forming a corner, but Yingyi had already vaguely seen several figures.

He hurriedly lay down in the dead grass.

"The horses are neighing, and there are a lot of people. ”

Ying Yi couldn't help frowning as she listened to the human voice mixed with the sound of horses.

Sun Xiucai said that there was only a horse team of about 100 people, but what Yingyi heard now was definitely not just such a few people.

Ying Yi thought for a moment: "Could it be that Li Guo's beast has already connected with another thief?"

It must be like this.

Yingyi's heart couldn't help but sink.

If it's just Li Guo's 100-man team, Yingyi is not afraid. He was confident that he could take off Li Guo's head with his ability. But if Li Guo's animal has already been connected with another thief, it will be difficult to do.

A light curtain appeared in the corner of Yingyi's eyes, and his physique was 5, quadrupling from yesterday. With a gesture and a strength of nearly four tons, if you wear armor and hold on to it, it should be a thousand enemies. True Spirit Plus is comprehensive, whether it's strength, agility, reflexes, or stamina, all aspects of the physique are in it. Therefore, after adding points, there is no problem of adaptation. I just felt a little floating, but only for a while. With such a physique, Yingyi is definitely a superman.

But Superman is still a human, and if tens of millions of people besiege him, he can be consumed to death. What's more, he doesn't have an ironclad steel gun, and without protection, although his physique is strong and his skin and flesh are getting stronger and stronger, he has not yet reached the realm of invulnerability, and he will still be injured and bleed.

"Li Guo, this beast, must die!" Under the weeds, Yingyi remembered the tragic situation of the little girl, and her face was extremely hideous, "It's going to be dark, I don't fight these thieves, wait until night..."

Ying Yi touched a cloth pocket hidden in her arms, felt the flint inside, and sighed slightly: "It would be nice if there were a hundred and ten people who listened to my orders." These rabble of thieves have set up their camp in the dead woods. I don't know if it's confidence or ignorance. If you set a fire..."

Yingyi grinned, revealing her cold, glistening teeth.

It was getting dark, and the woods were open. Nothing but the whirring cold wind. Some fires rose from the trees, dispelling the darkness and growing louder.

Ying Yi didn't move for more than an hour, but kept his ears pricked up to listen. He knew that the thief must have buried the pot to cook.

Occasionally, Yingyi raised her head and looked at the thieves patrolling the forest, her eyes flickering slightly: "I'm afraid these thieves plan to rest here for one night." This is a good opportunity..."

He moved to make himself more comfortable, then lay down completely and closed his eyes.

He needs to rest and recuperate. Now is not a good time. At least the best time is when most of the thieves are asleep, or in the early hours of the morning before dawn. So Yingyi still has time to rest. Although he wanted to break Li Guo's body to pieces immediately, he also knew that he couldn't wait.

As the night deepened, the voices of the thieves gradually dissipated, and everyone except the patrol and sentry fell asleep. After the hour, the temperature became colder and colder, and the water vapor fell, and in the firelight, the world was covered with a layer of water vapor.

Ying Yi woke up and touched his face, which was wet. He was extremely strong, and the outside climate, which had less and less influence on him, did not disturb his rest. With the dew on his face, Yingyi touched it a few times indiscriminately, and he was right to wash his face.

Then he rolled over and looked up.

Although he was hungry at this time, he was full of energy. After a few hours of sleep, the mental exhaustion is soothed. Looking at the sky, there was no moon, and there was no way to determine the exact time. But Ying Yi thought about it, it should be the middle of the night.

At the edge of the dead woods, in front of a fire that was about to be extinguished, a few sentry thieves surrounded by them, all nodding back and forth at this time. After all, a thief is a thief, the so-called old battalion, in addition to killing people, there is no discipline of the regular army. It's too normal for the patrol to take a sniffle.

Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out from behind the dead tree, and in the flash of light, they covered the thief who was napping against the trunk of the tree, and dragged him into the darkness. Silently.

The other thieves didn't react in the slightest.

A moment later, in the grass more than 100 meters away from the fire, Yingyi let go of the hand that was covering the trembling thief's mouth: "Is a tiger in it? How many of you are there?"

His eyes seemed to glow in the dark night, and his burly body turned his back to the faint firelight over there, reflecting a huge black shadow, overlooking the thief. The thief opened his mouth, and Yingyi slapped him with his backhand, and covered his mouth again.

"Don't be careful in front of me. Otherwise..."

With a click, the thief trembled like an electric sieve, and a dull cry of pain came out of the mouth that was covered by Yingyi.
