Chapter 7
Wen Tian didn't believe Chang Xi's nonsense, but now he was pressed and could not beat or run away. He could only pretend to believe it and gradually stopped struggling.
Seeing that he stopped to make trouble, Chang Xi relaxed his control over him and shouted far away to the officers and soldiers below, asking them to withdraw from Xishan Road.
The officials sent out negotiations to ask them to release Wen Tian first.
"It's easy to say about the ransom. As long as you let Master Wen go, we will immediately withdraw from Xishan Road." The person in charge of the negotiation was a short and fat middle-aged man. He was wearing a bloated robe and shrank his neck and stood in front to negotiate terms with Chang Xi.
He was just a small master. This time the two towns jointly suppressed bandits this time, so the county magistrate sent him to suppress the situation. However, everyone knew that the bandits in Xishantou were extremely fierce and were injured even if they were facing such a difficult task. The county magistrate himself was unwilling to come forward, so he had to send him over.
Before they set out, they agreed that if they could not fight, they would not fight. It would be best if they could spend money to exchange people for their return. After all, no one wanted to die in vain. After all, the kidnapped young master of the Wen family would not have been willing to come if the Wen family had not been rich and powerful and constantly put pressure on them.
The master was very slanderous and threatened and tempted him, but Chang Xi was a fool and didn't accept his words at all. Before leaving the door, Chu Xiangtian explained that he was not allowed to laugh or say more words.
Chang Xi, who doesn't smile or speak, can scare people from the appearance of evil spirits. He glanced at the master sinisterly and opened his mouth and recited the lines: "Let your people withdraw. Master Wen is just a guest in the village for a few days. Why do you have to be so generous?"
He was so scared by his fierce eyes that he took a step back. The master wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. The false smile on his face almost couldn't hold it. Stay there to be a guest? I'm afraid I can't find any other place if I stay for a few days!
The atmosphere on both sides was stalemate again, Chang Xika took Wen Tian down with time. As soon as he left, two mighty trenchers were placed side by side at the intersection of the mountain road, and two heavy stones had been put on it, and he was very stance to do something if he dared to come up.
Chang Xi took Wen Tian back to the village, and happened to meet Chu Xiangtian halfway. Chang Xi excitedly reported the progress to Chu Xiangtian, and praised him openly and secretly. Wen Tian seemed to have not seen anyone in front of him, so he bypassed him and continued to move forward.
Chu Xiangtian: "..."
Leaving Chang Xi, who was still urging to seek credit, Chu Xiangtian took a step to catch up with Wen Tian and stood in front of him again.
Wen Tian ignored him and walked around the left. Chu Xiangtian moved faster than him and moved one step to the left to block it. Wen Tian went to the right, and he followed him to the right.
Wen Tian: “…………”
His cheeks were so angry that he turned red, and he stared at Chu Xiangtian fiercely.
"I finally saw me," Chu Xiangtian said with a low smile: "I thought I was transparent."
Wen Tian was so angry that he wanted to kick him, but he didn't dare to really have a head-on conflict with him. He could only spit him fiercely in his heart a hundred times, and then angrily stopped talking.
The two of them were in a stalemate face to face, and finally Chu Xiangtian took the initiative to approach and unbutton the rope on Wen Tian's wrist. He was very close, and when he lowered his head, he smelled the light fragrance on Wen Tian's body. The fragrance was very light, like honey mixed with it, and it smelled sweet. Chu Xiangtian unknowingly approached a little, almost buried it on Wen Tian's neck, and the breath of speaking sprayed on Wen Tian's ears, "What have you applied on your body? It smells so good."
Wen Tian sideways his body to avoid him. When the rope in his hand is untied, he immediately pushed him hard and kicked him in the calf, scolded him and ran away quickly.
"He called me a bastard?" Chu Xiangtian touched his calf and looked at Chang Xi in disbelief.
Although Chang Xi was stupid, she was not blind. He said honestly: "You are almost going to the neck of your relatives."
Chu Xiangtian: "..."
He glared at Chang Xi, and Chu Xiangtian pointed at him with his hand, "You're talking too much."
Wen Tian ran back to Xiao Qiao's house panting, slammed the door, and then gasped with his back against the door. When Chu Xiangtian approached, he had goose bumps on his arms. The man was too aggressive and Wen Tian couldn't handle it at all. The first time he met, he thought the other party was a murderous bandit leader. Later, when the other party applied medicine to him, he changed his impression and felt that maybe it wasn't that bad either.
However, after today, Wen Tian felt that this person was too erratic and capricious, and he could turn against others at any time.
Wen Tian patted his chest to calm himself down. He had to find a way to escape, and Chu Xiangtian's promise might not be reliable.
At this time, the men in the village were patrolling the defense in the front mountain, while the elderly, weak, women and children stayed away. Wen Tian thought about it carefully and thought that he could think of a solution from the back mountain.
He had been walking around the village a few days ago. Except for the back mountain, there were people on patrols on the other sides. It was unlikely that he wanted to sneak out of the noses of these bandits.
The back mountain is connected to the plowing fields and a dense forest. As long as you pass through it, you can always find a way to find a way to go down the mountain.
After making up his attention, Wen Tian walked around the plowing field intentionally or unintentionally. While there was no one, he also inquired about the news from the weeds near the plowing field, but these plants were very timid. When they heard Wen Tian talk to them, they stopped talking. Only one or two braver plants told Wen Tian some information kindly.
For example, when you pass through the woods behind the farmland, there is a river not far away.
Wen Tian was a little surprised. There was only one river flowing through Qitianling, that is Sihu River. Sihu River connects Sifang Town and Lehe Town. As long as he walks out along the river, he can escape from this place.
On the afternoon of the operation, Wen Tian pretended to have something to look for Chu Xiangtian and went to Chang Xi to find out the news. Chang Xi was not prepared for him. Seeing that he asked, Da Lala said that Chu Xiangtian would not be in the village tonight.
As for where he went, Chang Xi didn't know.
When Wen Tian learned that the threat was less, he was secretly happy and waited patiently until the second half of the night. After everyone fell asleep, he opened the window and climbed out carefully.
Xiao Qiao was in the room opposite. He repeatedly relaxed his movements, closed the window as it was, and walked on tiptoe towards the farmland while touching the black.
The village is dark and dark, but fortunately the moon is round and big, and the bright moonlight can just illuminate the road beneath your feet.
After carefully leaving the area of the house, Wen Tian looked back and confirmed that it would not attract others, he ran quickly towards the farmland.
The fields were newly turned over the soil, and Wen Tianshen stepped on the soft soil with one foot shallow and stepped on it. He didn't care about the mud and ran forward with his teeth gritted his teeth.
Only when you can't run will you stop and rest vigilantly for a while, and then continue to move forward.
After running out of breath for a while, Wen Tian finally approached the woods. As long as he walked through the woods and followed the river, he could go home.
Without worrying about fatigue, Wen Tian wiped the sweat from his face and pulled off two pieces of his wide sleeve with his teeth to wrap his feet. The soles of his shoes were too hard, and he ran too fast, and the soles of his feet were worn out, which was so hot that it hurt.
Wrapped his feet with cloth pieces, Wen Tian continued to trot forward with bright eyes, not even caring about the fear of the dark forest.
The woods are much darker than empty and uncovered fields. Wen Tian distinguishes the direction with the faint moonlight. If he really can't find the way, he will look for the surrounding big trees or flowers and plants to ask for directions. If he asks a few, he will always be brave enough to answer his questions.
After exploring all the way, Wen Tian finally passed through the woods and arrived at the back mountain.
He took a breath, his tense nerves relaxed a little, and then he felt a prickly pain on his cheeks. He raised his hand and touched them, and then suddenly realized that there were several cuts on his face, probably because of the tree branches accidentally. He was too nervous and didn't even notice it.
After hissing for a few breaths, Wen Tian sniffed and continued to walk forward. After leaving the woods, the road became particularly difficult to walk. The mountain road became steeper and steeper, and the ground was covered with protruding rocks.
He carefully groped the stone and walked down. When he was about to the end, Wen Tian accidentally stepped on a stone, his body tilted, and his whole body rolled down uncontrollably.
Subconsciously protecting his head, the scattered gravel rolled down with him, and the protruding rocks hit him, causing pain. After rolling a few times, Wen Tian fell to the ground with a bang, and he was stunned.
He was dizzy and had a pain in his body. He lay down and took a long time to recover before he recovered. He barely supported himself and limped forward. He had already heard the sound of gurgling water. The river should be not far from him.
*******
"What sound?" Chu Xiangtian raised his hand alertly and paused the conversation, walked into and out of the cave.
The cave behind him was dark and the rock walls were full of weapons. Zhou Chuanqing and two strong men followed Chu Xiangtian out together. The back mountain was where they hid their soldiers. Even the people in the village didn't know that there was such a cave. Who would come here in such a middle of the night?
Chu Xiangtian frowned a deep Sichuan-like pattern, and his body was filled with a murderous aura that was not in the daytime. Following the sound of the rocks rolling down, Chu Xiangtian looked at the scattered dark blood on the gravel, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Someone is coming down."
Following the footprints on the ground, Chu Xiangtian saw a slender figure limping towards the river from afar.
