Chapter 75 Chapter Sixteen

Miscellaneous hair and Xiaodao and I were in shock overnight, and the soles of our feet were sore from walking.Seeing such a stockade, I didn't think about it, I just wanted to go in and find a place to rest.It's just that there are chasing soldiers behind us. If we enter the stockade and are discovered, we may be in trouble at that time.The two of us discussed it, and finally decided to go in and have a look, and it is much better to be hidden by people than in the wild mountains. When we approached slowly from the west side of the stockade, we discovered that the stockade belonged to the Lisu people.On the clothes drying pole in front of Diaojiaolou, there are all clothes with Lisu characteristics, blue and white, very bright.The industrious Lisu villagers got up very early. There were roosters crowing in the village, and there were dogs running around between the houses, playing with the children.Some people are already working on the fields in front of the village, and the winter cabbage is green and growing gratifyingly.

With the skill of Zamao Xiaodao and I, it is not difficult to avoid these villagers. Those local dogs that occasionally come out, naturally there are little demons and fat worms to help us take care of them.Mr. Tiger Cat has been giving us early warning in the air, but now he doesn't know where he went.But with the ability of the fat hen, we don't need to worry too much. We checked outside the stockade, avoided the crowd, and moved towards a family on the west side of the stockade.After a while, we came to the back of the stilted building.This building on stilts has three floors. The first floor is for feeding pigs and cattle, and the second and third floors are for people.On the opposite side of the building, there is a large round building made of mud bricks, and a blind old man is guarding in the small room in front.This kind of round building is a barn, which is used to store grain seeds for the coming year. Unlike ordinary villages that store their own harvests, the traditional Lisu villages are located in a remote area, and the general grain seeds will be stored by the head of the village for the next year. use.

We sneaked past under the old man's drooping eyelids, the little demon put his hand on the iron general at the door, and with a soft click, the door opened.Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao and I carefully entered through the door that was opened a crack, and then the little demon closed the door and restored the lock in the air. The barn is ventilated and brightly lit. There are water tanks next to it for fire prevention. There are stairs everywhere for climbing. In the middle, there are five tall and steep wooden storage bins.We worked all night, with sore backs and legs, and dry mouth and tongue. We took out the few dry food in the bag, and then ate something with a bottle of mineral water to replenish energy.

Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao used talisman paper, cinnabar, and unhulled grain seeds from the barn to set up a small array of hidden breaths in the corners around us, and then the little demon Duoduo helped us keep watch.After finishing all this, we climbed into the inverted bucket-shaped wooden trough, lifted the vine cover covering it, lay down among the hot grain seeds, and took a rest. Lying on the grain seeds to sleep and stretching the limbs is actually very comfortable, and you can feel that the grains are also breathing.This is the breath of life, full of enthusiasm, and millet gets into our necks, and when we turn over, we feel a little itchy.But I was too tired, and the fight with two groups of pursuers exhausted my strength. During the battle, my blood boiled, and every nerve was tense, but at this moment, the passion dissipated, and I closed my eyes , I felt that the old man Zhou Gong was calling me kindly.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, the world in the dream is carefree, there is no fraud, no betrayal, everything in the heart is possible. I closed my eyes, feeling tired like a tide, drowning me. I don't know how long I slept and felt like someone was pushing me.I was in a dangerous place, and even in my deep sleep, one of my tendons was stretched all the time, so I woke up quickly.I opened my eyes and saw the bright face of the little demon, and then there was light falling from the beams above my head.This little fox Meizi told me that the pursuers had arrived and they were outside.As soon as I was excited, I hooked my feet to the wooden trough on the top, then turned over, held my breath, and slowly moved towards the height of the house. Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao had also woken up, and he was like a swift cheetah, making no sound. The land occupies the northeast corner, and a pergola is built with hands, looking into the distance.

When I poked my head out, I saw many soldiers in camouflage green inspecting the village. There were people in Chinese tunic suits negotiating with the villagers. Li Tengfei, who was startled away, was walking slowly with Mao Tongzhen, who was wearing a gray Taoist robe and a golden round copper crown on his head. Surrounding the two of them, there were also Zhao Xingrui, the old man with a stalk, and several strangers, all of whom had sharp eyes. , extraordinary bearing. Look at this situation, it seems that they want to be stationed here and set up a frontline headquarters. When Zaomao Xiaodao saw Zhao Xingrui, he remembered the human skin mask he gave him in the early morning. He took it out and said, yes, this thing is a treasure. Wear it, unless you are a member of the task force who is familiar with our body shape, bearing, and habits. Certainly not recognized.This old Zhao, has a good relationship with you?

I shook my head and said, I don’t know what to say, he is Huiming’s closed disciple, and he had some friendship with me in the training camp, but this person’s city is very deep, and people can’t see through his inner thoughts.Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao nodded and said, yes, a person is unwilling to reveal his inner thoughts, one is because he has been trained, and the other is because he is afraid of being hurt.But judging from the current situation, he should be on your side.And no matter what his purpose is, our next direction is not to go to the mountains, but to go to towns, take a car to the border of southern Yunnan, and wait for an opportunity to cross the border.

I smiled wryly, pointing to the soldiers outside who were checking house by house and said, we have to escape this disaster first. While speaking, six soldiers with guns came towards us. We quickly lowered our heads, only to hear a leading soldier talking to the old man with dizzy eyes in front of the door.The old man told them in strong dialect that this is the barn in the village, and he looks at it every day, so there will be no mice. Those soldiers were also conscientious, they disagreed, and insisted on opening the barn door to come in and take a look. Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao and I looked at each other, then hooked the beams above, and quietly returned to the inverted bucket-shaped storage warehouse, one by one, and began to sink, let the millet submerge us, only the nostrils were exposed to breathe .As soon as we hid it, the wooden door of the barn was pushed open, and then the voices of the people just now came from the room, and there were a few bangs, they were checking the suspicious place inside, and the inspection was completed after a while.Someone thought about the storage bin in the middle of the barn, and wanted to climb up, lift the vine cover on it, and take a look.

The old man was a little unhappy, and there seemed to be some conflict. The old man cursed people in Lisu language, and then exchanged a few words.After a while, a few more people came and asked about the situation. I heard this voice a bit familiar, and I remembered it was the old man with a whip. They are also old men, and there are not many obstacles in communicating.After a while, I heard that someone moved a ladder and wanted to climb up to check the situation.I didn't dare to move, I felt the little demon pouring rice on my face very carefully and silently.After a while, I heard a vibration from the bucket I was hiding in. It was the sound of a wooden ladder being put on it.My heart sank, and at this time, I was covered by those grains, the oxygen in my chest was getting less and less, and the nasal cavity was full of the smell of rice.

It has the smell of sunshine, but it is very choking and itchy when inhaled, making people want to sneeze. I tried my best to suppress the urge to sneeze, and then I heard the vine cover being removed, and a hand inserted into the grain and began to stir it seriously.This guy was so serious that he touched almost every place. I kept praying and enduring in my heart, but God failed, and that hand persistently touched the top of my head.My heart was about to jump out, and I held the ghost sword tightly in my right hand, thinking that if this soldier shot, would I fight back? At this time, there was a voice from the door that made me gnash my teeth: "Old Hu, has this been cleaned up?" Seeing this man, the old man with a straw said enthusiastically, "It's almost done, Old Wu, if you didn't give me a hand today." Detoxification, I might be poisoned to death. Thank you so much! Go back, we old brothers, we must have a good drink. Hey, a few comrades, it’s almost there, did you find anything?”

The hand that was almost touching my head was withdrawn, and then a young voice came: "Report to the chief, no!" "Come down if you don't have one. Let's go eat something first. Those two guys are very capable. We may have to prepare for a protracted battle this time. Hurry up and replenish your energy so that you don't drag yourself down..." Ma Zhuer The old man beckoned the searching soldiers out of the barn, and then his voice faded away. The old man who was guarding the door grunted a few words, spit on the ground, and closed the door heavily. When the sound was almost gone, I stretched out my hand, grabbed the edge of the wooden cabin, raised my head, and took a deep breath like a drowning person, greedily filling my lungs with air.Those golden grains slid down the sides of my head.After a while, I pushed open the cover, and saw that Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao had already stood on the wooden warehouse just now, staring into the distance. I asked him if he hadn't been discovered just now, he shook his head and said no.Then he turned around, looked at me seriously, and said, little poison, seeing Wu Linyi again, do you have any thoughts? I said no, what's the matter? Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said, why don't we rob the old turtle out of this tight siege, interrogate it, and find out who is behind the scenes? I was surprised and said, this is okay?Look at those soldiers, the bullets are all loaded! With a depressed expression on his face, he thought for a while and said forget it.The two of us didn't speak any more, we quietly waited for the pursuers to leave. As the sun set and night fell, there was another knock at the barn door.
