Chapter 7 The fainted officer

Xiaoqiu ran very fast, his legs almost no longer belonged to him. The huge snake head seemed to be chasing behind him, and the long snake letter was tightly attached to his back.

He is a brave boy, but he has never seen such a scene. Yelin Town is a remote and peaceful place. When the demons arrive here, they are only absurd legends. How can the entity not be distracted for the first time?

The flexible branches whipped the cheeks, and the ground was full of tangled obstacles. These could not stop Xiaoqiu. He ran forward desperately, regardless of whether there was a road ahead or not, and it was unknown how long after that he suddenly realized that there was someone behind him.

Fangfang ran with him, and was so fast that she was not as fast as the daughter of the husband's family, and she had no choice. The two of them had their right wrists connected together, and a long rope was dragged behind her, miraculously not wrapped around the tree.

Xiaoqiu turned his head and looked at each other. No one slowed down. Because they were too shocked, there was no emotion in their eyes, as if they were just strangers who ran together by chance.

The feet were empty, and the two of them had already rolled down the hillside at the same time before they understood what was going on.

This is a long shady slope, full of new and old leaves accumulated over the years, emitting a unique rotten fragrance in the forest, and the body rolls on it is quite soft.

Finally, Xiaoqiu and Fangfang sat on the ground one after another, dizzy, their bodies covered with mud and leaves. The two of them were gasping for breath and looked at each other again, and no one could stand up.

Fortunately, there was no giant snake chasing behind him. Xiaoqiu took the courage to look back and saw a thick layer of broken branches and leaves, and the top of his head was quiet. He breathed a little relieved, but the panic in his heart did not relieve much.

Fangfang was frightened and stared at Xiaoqiu. When her breathing was slightly even, she suddenly asked: "Did you really dream about me?"

"Ah?" Xiaoqiu didn't understand Fangfang's meaning for a while. She thought for a while before remembering that Daliang leaked the secret last night, saying that he had dreamed that Fangfang asked him for help, but he didn't understand what Fangfang asked about this at the critical moment of life and death, "It's...I dream..."

Before he finished speaking, a rustling sound came from above his head. Xiaoqiu had some strength from somewhere, hugged Fangfang, rolled around with him for a few times, and hid behind a big tree nearest.

The two hugged each other tightly and peered at the slope in horror.

Push, a person fell to the bottom of the slope, and it was Ershuan, who was stupid, just like Xiaoqiu and Fangfang, who could only sit and couldn't stand up.

Plop... One after another, people rolled down from above, and the teenagers in Yelin Town fell like ripe fruits.

Xiaoqiu felt a little relieved, and could stand up. He pulled Fangfang out from behind the tree and asked, "Didn't the big snake chase after him?"

Just a simple sentence almost made the teenagers go crazy. Half of them jumped up, and half of them lie on the ground and trembled with their hair. They were unable to bury their heads in the rotten leaves.

When they found that the speaker was Xiao Qiu, the teenagers softened again, fell to the ground, and lay down with their limbs stretched out.

"You two run so fast." Ershuan said, half confused and half admiring.

"Where is the big snake?" Xiaoqiu asked again.

"I don't know, I kept running and never turned around." Daliang said breathlessly, his face pale.

Xiaoqiu checked the head, "Daliang, Erliang, Ershuan, Langzi, Xiaoshun, Zhuzi, are all there, just... bald."

Daliang said in a trembling voice: "Bald, bald man will not be killed by a big snake, right?"

"He was obviously laughing at us behind the tree, so he probably didn't die." Ersun said with uncertainty. The bald man's smile was too weird, which was an ominous sign.

"The Xuanfu Army is still behind, they can beat the big snake." Xiaoqiu was not sure. Looking back, the snake was too big and seemed to be able to swallow the entire Yelin Town.

The teenagers nodded, rather than agreeing with Xiaoqiu's speculation, they were giving themselves some confidence. They would rather be prisoners of Xuanfu Jun than become big snake's lunch.

"We can't stop here, we have to run a little further." Xiao Qiu said that even if the Xuanfu Army defeated the big snake, he would still catch people and question them. He hoped that he would never see the group of black-armored soldiers again.

The teenagers just wanted to stay away from the big snake, so they supported the other one and barely stood up. They didn't know where they were in the forest, and they didn't recognize the path. They were talking and making suggestions when a sound came from the slope again.

A horse flew high in the air, but did not stand firm after landing. He staggered and fell off the horse's back. The knight screamed and rolled all the way, falling in front of the teenagers. The horse ignored the owner and ran away on his own.

It was the stern officer, still wrapped in dark armor, lying face down there, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

The teenagers looked at him motionlessly, not knowing how to deal with the accident.

The officer moved and heard a sound from the helmet cover.

Xiaoqiu was the first to react, and he jumped up and found that he was still holding Fangfang's hand. The two of them were connected by ropes, and Fangfang could only stand behind him. Xiaoqiu opened his mouth to bite the knot, but it was tied tightly by the soldiers of the Xuanfu Army, and the teenager could not chew it at all.

The two brothers of Daliang and Erliang rushed forward first, Ershuan and others followed closely behind. Several people took action together, pressing their legs and pressing their bodies, and suppressing their bodies. Erliang was quick to lift his helmet.

"Hey, it turns out that he is also a half-baby."

The last bit of awe of the young man in Yelin Town for the officer disappeared, and he took off the officer's black armor.

Ershuan cheered, and he quickly grabbed the long sword from the officer's waist with his hands and eyes. He pulled it out immediately, watched it carefully in front of the sun, showed it to his friends, and forgot about the fear of the snake demon.

The young men gathered around to watch. The sword was three feet long, the sword blade was snow-white, but the sword body was black, forming a very sharp contrast.

"There are words engraved on it." Daliang said enviously.

Sure enough, there was a row of strange words engraved on the black sword, with very thin strokes. It would have been difficult to see if it weren't for the sunshine, but no one could recognize the specific content of the words.

"Fangfang knows a lot of literacy, so let her see what she is writing," said Daliang.

Ershuan holds the sword in both hands and holds it flat in front of his waist.

Fangfang walked out from behind Xiaoqiu, looked down for a while, and whispered: "I don't know you either, this may be a talisman."

The young men nodded with some understanding, "Then this sword must be very expensive." Ershuan's face shimmered, "I heard that the most ordinary talismans written on paper can be sold for more than ten taels of silver, and this sword is worth hundreds of taels."

Hundreds of taels of silver were a huge fortune in the eyes of the teenagers in Yelin Town, which was almost enough to spend their entire lives, so they praised it and didn't even care about what the talisman was.

"Get out of the way, I want to try this sword, Xiaoqiu, Fangfang, stay away, I will cut the rope."

Everyone immediately dispersed, and Xiaoqiu and Fangfang were still one after another, straightening the rope connecting the two as much as possible.

Er Shuan raised his sword with both hands and slashed it hard. The rope broke in response to the sound. He rushed forward and almost fell down. He didn't care at all. "What a good sword, I didn't feel the resistance of the rope."

"He might have something good on him." Daliang pointed to the officer on the ground. This time he was the first to rush up and began to search carefully.

Xiaoqiu regained her freedom and participated in the body searching operation with other teenagers. Fangfang stayed in place, patiently untied the knot on her wrist, and the second pill did not move. He was enjoying the long sword in his hand, and he didn't care about anything else.

In a short while, the young men divided the officer's equipment, including the helmets, black armor, silk ribbons, leather bags, and some small objects hidden in the armor, and they all had a new owner.

Erliang cheered and found a set of ignition equipment, which was exquisite and small, much better than what he carried himself.

Xiao Qiu was one step late, but his eyes were pointed, and he actually found a dagger. The dagger looked very ordinary, with a wooden handle, but after being pulled out, it made everyone's eyes lit up. The blade was inlaid with a flat oval red gem, radiant. Even those who know nothing about jewelry could see that it is of great value.

Xiaoqiu picked up the rope on his right wrist and helped Fangfang get rid of the rope. He was very happy because this dagger was not only beautiful, but also sharp.

Langzi was the only person who was dissatisfied. He only grabbed the helmet and put it on his head, but he couldn't see anything. "It's okay for Xuan Fujun to wear it, why am I blind?"

Daliang held a stack of paper in his hand, about ten pieces, and flipped over and over, "Is this a talisman? How much money can it be worth?"

Ershuan glanced at him, "Look at the strokes above, they are crooked and they are not worth it at first sight. Keep them and wipe their butts."

Daliang is reluctant to let go and hides it carefully in his arms.

Everyone was enjoying the good things they had snatched, with Fangfang being the exception, so she was the first to see the officer sitting up.

The officer was also a teenager. He looked no older than Xiaoqiu and others. He had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and his close-fitting clothes were fine and soft. Even the wealthiest Shen family in Yelin Town could not come up with a few pieces.

His expression was not severe at this time, and he looked at his body without armor. He frowned slightly, suddenly jumped up and ran away.

Fangfang screamed, and the young men rushed up again. Xiaoqiu ran in the front. A sequel to the ground, pressed him tightly, and shouted: "Come on the rope."

The rope was still quite long, so Xiaoqiu took action to tie the officer's hands behind him.

The officer turned around and spit out the dead leaves in his mouth. He finally realized that he was not swallowed by the snake demon, but fell into the hands of a group of poor boys, "Let me go." He ordered.

Without the protection of the black armor, his voice immediately seemed immature, which could not scare the young man in Yelin Town.

"I announce that you are our prisoner from now on." Xiao Qiu shook his dagger and said, "What is a demon species? How could that big snake come to the vicinity of Yelin Town?"

"Do you know who I am?" The officer shook his body hard, his voice full of contempt and threat, and did not answer Xiao Qiu's questions.

"You are a fool." Xiaoqiu grabbed the officer's clothes, "Are you still a coward, where are the other Xuanfu Army? Where is the big snake? You are an officer, have you escaped by yourself?"

The young officer's face suddenly changed, "Snake Demon! The snake Demon is right behind, please return the thing to me."

No one is willing to return the treasure you have obtained. The people in Yelin Town are simple. In a few years, under the influence and lessons of their parents, the teenagers will become law-abiding. Now they only obey the most direct and simple rules: whoever grabs the things will belong to them.

"Demon species...Demon species are very terrible things." The officer said, hoping to convince these barbaric teenagers with fear. "As long as you encounter a little demon species, the beast will immediately turn into monsters, and humans... will lose their nature, refuse to recognize their relatives, and cannot feel the pain, and can eat themselves..."
