Chapter 1089 Weird smile
Chu Huan looked at a guard and made a gesture to him. The guard could see clearly. He took dry food from his waist and handed it to Chu Huan. Chu Huan delivered the dry food to the old man and said, "Old man, I'm generous to you, drink your water, you can collect these dry food first..."
The old man looked at the dry food handed over by Chu Huan. His originally empty eyes showed a look of surprise. Although he was weak, Chu Huan's dry food had just come to him. His old body suddenly developed strength from somewhere. His shriveled hand grabbed the dry food bag with his hand, opened the bag and took a look. His eyes were filled with joy. But soon, the light on his face gradually disappeared, and the surprise in his eyes also disappeared. He handed the bag back and sighed: "Let's go, you are kind-hearted, but kind-hearted may not be rewarded..."
Chu Huan did not take it and asked, "What's the matter with catching the strong men?"
The old man obviously had some affection for Chu Huan and said, "You have a foreign accent, not a local. Don't you know what's going on here?"
Chu Huan asked, "What is the old man talking about?"
"Oh..." the old man sighed, "I heard that a new governor has come to Xiguan, which is very cruel and forced to rebel against the soldiers. The army in Hezhou has raised troops to resist the new governor..."
Chu Huan's eyebrows twitched slightly and asked, "The new governor is very cruel? But as far as I know, this governor does not seem to be a bad person."
The old man nodded and said, "Actually, I don't know what's going on... A while ago, a big plague broke out, and people died everywhere. Several people in our village died of the plague. They were all waiting to die, but the governor brought the prescription, and everyone escaped. Logically, this governor is not a bad person, but somehow, the rebellion here is reversed... Hezhou has rebelled, and the governor must have brought troops to fight. General Hu occupied Hezhou City and sent him to
People arrested strong men everywhere, asked them to go to repair the city, and they also wanted to fight with the governor's army...!" The old face was full of helplessness, "One of my son was captured, and many people in the village were arrested. I heard that in the war, many people in the village ran away, leaving only us old people... A few, you are all outsiders, not bad people, run away quickly, the governor's army may not be sure when it will arrive, and when the war begins, no one can escape..."
Chu Huan frowned and said, "I heard that the Governor issued an order that his army cannot bully the people..."
The old man saw through the world and smiled, shook his head and said, "This is all lies. I have lived for most of my life and passed through many armies. How can one not bully the people? It's okay to take some things..." He shook his head bitterly, and did not continue to say it.
Chu Huan knew that the old man didn't want to say something, so he didn't ask much. He looked outside the door and asked, "Old man, the wind and sand outside are quite heavy. Is it like this every year?"
The old man looked outside and said, "This is Liuchangshi, and there are frequent wind and sand. I have lived in Hezhou since I was a child. There are frequent wind and sand in Hezhou. Liuchangshi is the most fierce time...!"
Chu Huan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Old man, how long does these six times last?"
The old man thought for a while and said, "The wind and sand this year are not small, but it will be dispersed in seven or eight days... Today is better. In two days, the wind and sand will be even stronger...!"
Chu Huan thought something and nodded slightly.
At this moment, he heard the sound of horse hooves outside. The two guards under Chu Huan immediately became alert. They were carrying packages in their hands, with knives inside, and their hands were already put into the package.
Chu Huan winked and shook his head slightly. The two guards understood Chu Huan's meaning, and did not act rashly, and pulled their hands back. The two guards were dressed in ordinary clothes and looked average. At a rough look, they would make people feel that they were just ordinary people.
The sound of horse hooves stopped, and soon heard a voice from outside saying, "There are few families in this village, let's take a break here...!"
Chu Huan sat next to the old man and stared at the door. Soon, he saw that there were a few more people at the door. He first walked in with a long robe, belt, and hat. He walked in first, glanced at Chu Huan, and his eyes frowned. At this moment, several people followed him, one of them said: "Mr. Hei, there is still dry food here, but there is not much water, so you can add some water here...!"
The man in his robe was in his forties, with a weak appearance and slightly high cheekbones. He stared at Chu Huan for a short while, then his face calmed down. He entered the house and bowed and said politely: "I'm sorry, we are passers-by. The wind and sand outside are strong, and we are too tired to go on the road. I want to rest here for a while. I wonder if it's disturbing?"
The old man said expressionlessly: "As long as you don't dislike me, you can rest here."
Mr. Hei, the man in the robe, nodded with a smile, entered the house, and followed four people. Chu Huan saw at a glance that although these four people were dressed in ordinary clothes, they were all equipped with knives on their waists. When they entered the house, the eyes of these people were sweeping Chu Huan and the two guards, showing a look of alertness.
Mr. Hei took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and placed it next to the old man, saying gentlely: "Brother-in-law, let's get some water here, this is water money..."
The old man shook his head and said, "You can't collect the money when drinking water, so put it away."
"It is already inappropriate to disturb you. Please accept this little money!" Mr. Hei said politely.
The old man shook his head, did not charge the cash or spoke.
Mr. Hei signaled people to go to the water tank to get water. The two big men looked at each other, approached the water tank, and passed by Chu Huan's subordinates to guard him, with great caution and sharp eyes.
"I wonder what this person is called?" Hei Xian was very kind-hearted and asked at Chu Huan.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "All passers-by in the world, why do you have to know each other when you meet?"
Mr. Hei nodded and sighed, "Why do you have to know each other when we meet? This is a good thing. The battle in Hezhou is about to come, so you should leave here earlier to avoid being hindered."
Chu Huan said "Oh" and asked, "Is this gentleman leaving Hezhou for refuge?"
Mr. Hei smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. You don't know that the officers and soldiers are about to fight against the rebels, and the bandits are waiting for an opportunity to act. Just yesterday, we encountered a bandit...!" He raised one of his hands with difficulty, "My arm was cut and it still hurts tightly."
"Bandit?"
Mr. Hei nodded, got up, walked towards Chu Huan, and reached out to roll his sleeves, "Come and see, this knife is really not light, and almost cut off my arm..." As he spoke, his sleeves were rolled up, and suddenly he heard Chu Huan shouting loudly, and his body leaned back. Almost at the same time, under Mr. Hei's rolled up sleeves, the leather wristband rolled up on his arm suddenly appeared, but there was obviously a hidden weapon on the wristband. While rolling up the sleeves, several silver needles had been shot out.
Almost at this time, the two big men who were going to fetch water from the water tank had already pulled out their swords and slashed at the two guards. The two big men outside also took action at the same time, drawing their swords to slash at the guards. Both guards were attacked from front to back, but they seemed to be prepared. One guard turned his body skillfully, and he protected each other's back to back, and raised his sword to meet him.
Mr. Hei's arm was shot out with a few silver needles, but Chu Huan had already leaned back and fell down with the stool under his butt. He supported the ground with one hand to prevent himself from touching the ground, but his feet had already kicked him down on Mr. Hei's lower abdomen. Mr. Hei seemed to have imagined that Chu Huan's reaction was so fast, his figure flashed back quickly, and his other arm waved, and a stream of smoke suddenly floated out from under his long sleeves.
Chu Huan knew that the smoke must be evil, so he said in a deep voice: "Be careful of the smoke and hold your breath." One hand had already hooked up the stool and smashed it over to Mr. Hei.
Mr. Hei was very agile in his body. He floated backwards and had already retreated from the house. Chu Huan followed him like a shadow and followed closely. The speed of the smoke spreading was extremely amazing. Chu Huan held his breath and reached out and grabbed Mr. Hei.
Inside the house, the two guards heard Chu Huan's reminder and knew that things were urgent, they reacted quickly, blocked the enemy's knife, and did not dare to take a breath, and rushed out the door at the same time.
The strong men behind followed, and after the strong men who landed at the end rushed out, their steps slowed down, as if they were drunk, their bodies shaking, and then the big knife in their hands fell off their hands. The man stood blankly, his eyes were empty, and soon, an extremely strange smile appeared on his face.
No one paid attention to him at this time. Mr. Hei was light in his steps, while Chu Huan was smart in his body. The two were like two butterflies. Mr. Hei obviously did not dare to take action with Chu Huan. Chu Huan was wary of Mr. Hei and he was also careful.
Chu Huan made continuous moves, but he felt that Mr. Hei's body movement in front of him was light and agile but very strange. He vaguely felt that Mr. Hei's body movement seemed familiar.
Mr. Hei had four great men, one of whom left the house, stood outside the door and smirked. The other three fought with two guards, with big swords fighting, sparks splashing everywhere, and clattering. These two guards were selected from the guard warriors, with rich practical experience and powerful characters of one to ten, but the other party was not an ordinary person. They could not stand stalemate with three to two.
Suddenly, a "hahahaha" sounded, and the few of them retreated. Looking over, they saw the big man standing in front of the door, stretching out his hands, and the strange smile on his face became more obvious. He was obviously a strong man, but he made extremely soft movements and danced like a woman. His originally empty eyes actually showed excitement.
Whether it was Chu Huan's guard or Mr. Hei's subordinates, they were surprised to see the strange appearance, and they didn't know what kind of nerve the man was.
Suddenly, when he heard the sound of "Kerala", he saw the dancing man, his joints began to twist extremely. Several people obviously heard the sound of bones breaking. He watched the man's body slowly shrink down, and the man's bones seemed to disappear. He seemed to be left with only flesh and blood, and quickly sank down, becoming a pile of terrifying skins.
