The moment he stepped out of the south gate, whether it was an illusion or a real feeling, Yang Chuanfu felt that he was one step away from death.

Perhaps because he was certain deep down in his heart that there would be a catastrophe tonight, Yang Chuanfu's footsteps became more determined.

Yuancheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the east, west and north are surrounded by dense forests and mountains. If someone goes out through those three city gates, they will only go deeper and deeper into the mountains and forests.

There is only an official road at the south gate. It is said that if you walk seventy miles along the official road, you will see a big river, and you will reach Jiangbei after crossing the river.

In the 36 prefectures of Daliang, more than half of the temples come from Jiangbei. Yang Chuanfu has heard many rumors about Jiangbei over the years. The most mysterious thing is that there was a monk in Jiangbei who stepped on the lotus and flew into the sky during the day. It was more than 200 years ago. Whether it is true or not, Yang Chuanfu doesn't care about it.

After walking out of Yuancheng for about half an hour, the sky was already completely dark. He estimated the distance, but after walking four miles, Yang Chuanfu looked back at Yuancheng and stopped.

Zhong Shouyi was not as unbearable as Yang Chuanfu imagined. During such a distance, he never lost half a step and followed closely behind him all the time.

But Yang Chuanfu knew that at an advanced age, he could not rush too much, and had to stop and rest.

"Sixth, someone is following!" Zhong Shouyi put Ling'er on the ground, loosened his trousers, and tightened his robe.

Yang Chuanfu looked at both sides of the official road. The forest was dark and he couldn't see the scene clearly. He raised his eyes and squinted his eyes, and saw a small hill two miles away on the west side of the official road.

"Persevere, go to the hillside ahead to rest, and see how Yuan Cheng is doing."

Zhong Shou nodded in agreement, and pointed to a group of beggars following far behind.

"Don't worry about it. Now that you are out of the city, your life and death are not bound by the law. If they dare to come up to pester you, you will kill them!" Yang Chuanfu glanced at them, continued on his way with a knife in his hand, and said:

"Remember, most people in this world are greedy people. You give him one tael of silver, but he still wants ten taels. You give him ten taels, but he still wants a hundred taels. Slowly, he will think It's only natural for you to give him.

For the first time in his life, the two donkeys obtained a huge profit of 50 taels, and their greed was magnified in an instant. Now they want to follow us to leave Yuancheng. "

"En!" Zhong Shouyi carried his sister on his back and followed.

The two-mile road is said to be long or short. In fact, in this dark night, it is really not short. Although the official road is spacious, the hillside is covered with heavy snow and it is very difficult to walk. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to climb up the hillside .

The cold wind howled, walking on the official road without realizing it, but now standing in a higher place, I felt the cold instantly.

Zhong Shouyi wrapped Zhong Ling'er tightly in fox fur and let him lie in the shelter of the snow nest for the time being. He looked up and saw Yang Chuanfu looking back in the direction of Yuancheng.

I saw a layer of black clouds covering the sky above Yuancheng, and shadows landed everywhere in the city, with red lights flickering from time to time, like owls rushing into a rat's nest in formation, and a shadow descended, Zhong Shouyi felt that there must be one If you see a natural enemy, the black rat will die.

"These beasts gradually gathered three days ago. It's a pity that the people in the city are stupid and selfish. There are so many people who go out for winter hunting every day, and no one notices the anomaly and makes it public." The two of them escaped from the city, otherwise after tonight, there will be three dead bones in the city in all likelihood.

"Lao Liu, they are here." Zhong Shouyi pointed to the seven beggars who were climbing up the hill.

The winter night was several times colder than the daytime, and this group of people was already shivering from the cold. Their original plan of "just following" had long since ceased to stick to it, and they shouted from a long distance:

"Sixth Master, the two of you are waiting for us, just to travel through the rivers and lakes, so many people can take care of each other."

Zhong Shouyi clenched the wooden sword and pulled Zhong Linger up. The group of people struggled to climb up the hillside. Seeing that they were about to climb up soon, Yang Chuanfu whispered to Zhong Shouyi:

"Don't be nervous. These people are cowardly both on the outside and on the inside. I'm afraid they won't be able to stand the cold right now, and they want to get closer to inquire about something. Since they can't hold back, let's explain clearly on this hillside."

When the seven people climbed the hillside, Yang Chuanfu could see clearly that, except for the second donkey, everyone was bruised and swollen from the cold, and when they left the city, they couldn't bear to buy even a cotton robe.

"You guys don't need to flatter, first look back at Yuan Cheng!" Yang Chuanfu did not wait for them to speak, and pointed in the direction of Yuan Cheng first.

The seven people turned their heads together and saw the scene that Yang Chuanfu and Zhong Shouyi had seen before, they were stunned on the spot, "This..."

The second donkey turned his head and cupped his fists respectfully at Yang Chuanfu: "Thank you, Master Liu, for saving your life. We followed you right, please take care of us!"

Yang Chuanfu sneered coldly: "Fart, you are just tentatively following to make a bet, if nothing happens in the city tonight, you may go back immediately.

Now that I can't stand the hunger and hunger, I just want to ask for help. How can there be such a good thing in this world! "

Behind the two donkeys were a group of young boys, fifteen or sixteen years old with a belly, and nothing in their minds. Seeing Yang Chuanfu's cold sarcasm, they all bowed their heads in embarrassment.

Only the second donkey sneered with a cheeky face: "I am short-sighted, how can the sixth master be well-informed, now that Yuan Cheng has been harmed, and he doesn't know where to go, you have already prepared, why don't you... why don't you give me food and show you the way?" ?”

And took out the treasure bag in his hand, "I can give you silver."

How could Yang Chuanfu care about money? In this damn weather, the most precious thing is food. There is not enough food for the three of them, so it is impossible to divide them up.

There was a fierce horse neighing suddenly at the foot of the hillside. Everyone looked carefully and saw a carriage running out from the direction of Yuan Cheng at some point, followed by three family warriors riding tall horses. There was a token on the carriage, which read " Poor' word.

The carriage was traveling extremely fast, but because of the extremely fast speed, a poor man broke the shaft and rolled over in the snow.

Yang Chuanfu pointed to the figures who climbed out of the carriage, "If you want to go with me, you go and snatch the carriage below!"
