The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 11



At this time, the night was fading and a bright light appeared on the eastern horizon. With the dim light and shadow, Chechen saw the horses tied in the courtyard. On one side of the patio are rows of low houses. There were two bright rooms inside. They should be the rooms where the robber leader and his men lived.

Looking forward, there is a derrick and sink. The water in the sink is frozen.

"Very good, very good." Chechen visually measured the distance from his current position to the horse. If he ran fast, he could reach it in a few blinks. When the reins are loosened, it will not take a while to get on the horse and run without a trace.

Chechen looked at the bottom of the house again. It\'s only four or five meters high from the roof to the ground, and there\'s a thick layer of snow on the ground. If you jump down like this, you won\'t even have minor injuries if you\'re lucky.

Chechen felt that everything was going his way now.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. You hungry wolves." he muttered, "go to sleep. I hope you have a nightmare. In your dream, an evil ghost will pull your skin. But you\'d better not wake up, because it\'s not light yet."

But things didn\'t go according to Chechen\'s heart. A man shadowed the door of the hut. Chechen felt his head back and observed through the gap in the wooden wall.

The figure came out of the door and went straight to the circle where Chechen was imprisoned. Just in the middle of his walk, the man raised his head, and the gray morning light reflected on his face and body. Che Chen recognized the man - Gaul Dai stabbed by himself.

"Hell, how could it be him." Chechen thought to himself.

Goro went to the door of the circle and pulled the big lock on the door. He took out a key from his pocket and opened the lock.

"Boy, you dare to stab my hand. I\'ll give you a taste of the whip."

As he entered the door, goroday said a cruel word. This word spread to Chechen\'s ears without missing a word.

Chechen hurriedly climbed to the stairs. He heard the rustle of goroday stepping on hay and pig manure. Chechen felt a deer bumping in his heart. The goroday broke in when it was most important for him to escape. It seems that he still wants to avenge the sword he hurt him. If you fall into his hands and add up new hatred and old hatred, you will be better than dead. Che Chen secretly swore that he could not fall into the hands of the robbers even if he was afraid of death.

Originally, Chechen thought that the robber would soon find himself. But he was wrong. For a while, goroday was only spinning in the dark circle.

But finally, when he almost turned the whole circle, he finally found something wrong.

"Damn it! What\'s the matter? Why can\'t you find the boy? Vassili, come and have a look." in the second half, goroday shouted very loudly. He was calling people.

Hearing goroday\'s cry, the robber named Vasili soon ran into the circle. He was the guy who guarded Chechen last night.

"What\'s going on?"

"The man is gone."

"Was the door locked when you came?"

"It\'s locked."

"Then he can\'t run. He must be hiding somewhere. I\'ll light a fire. It\'s too dark in the room."

There was another burst of silence. Obviously, Vasili is talking about flint.

The fireknife hit the flint, splashing out clusters of sparks. Sparks flashed into the darkness between the circles. Finally, a bunch of hay was lit.

"He\'s up, he\'s up." finally Vassily found the stairway.

"So you\'re up there." goroday also saw the opening of the stairs above his head. His face was twisted and ferocious like a ghost. He decided that if Chechen fell into his hands later, he would strip off his clothes, whip a hundred times, and then throw him into the snow to cool off.

The wooden ladder had already been pulled up by Chechen. The two robbers searched for a long time and couldn\'t find the tools to climb. They only threatened Chechen below.

"Damn boy, come down."

"If I catch you, I\'ll pull your skin."

But no matter how the robbers scolded, Chechen just didn\'t say a word. He just sat in a dark corner, guarding the stairs like a wolf. He was ready to fight with the robbers.

Seeing that it was no use yelling, goroday ran out of the circle, leaving Vassily to watch. After a while, he came back with two sickles and a hand-made firearm.

Bang, he shot at the stairs.

"You can\'t shoot. The boss wants to exchange this boy for people and money." Vasili was startled when he saw that goroday used a firegun. He hurriedly stopped.

"Then let\'s poke him down with a sickle." seeing that he couldn\'t use a gun, goroday handed a sickle to Vassily and suggested.

So two sickles poked at the hole and the nearby wood. The sharp sickle head passes through the board from time to time, exposing the tip. Chechen had to move a pile of hay and pile it at his feet.

"What are you doing?" finally, the gunshot just now brought the robber leader.

"Boss, get my boy and climb to the top of the circle." goroday said to the robber leader.

"Useless guy. Why didn\'t you find an interlayer between the circles last night." the robber leader heard the speech and angrily scolded the two men.

"It was late and dark yesterday..." Vassily replied humbly to the leader\'s accusation.

"I\'ll settle with you later. There\'s a ladder in my room. You move it." the robber leader ordered.

Finally, I don\'t know which robber moved the ladder. In short, after a while, a wooden ladder was erected on the opening.

Seeing that the ladder was set up, the robber leader wanted to go up first. But his glass bead like eyes turned twice, and some of them retracted their legs.

"You go first," the robber leader ordered Vassily.

No way, Vassili had to fight first. With the sickle in his hand and the cat in his body, he climbed the ladder slowly step by step. With each step, he had to stop and poke the sickle twice.

On the top, Chechen had held a bundle of hay in his arms. He was going to hit Vassily as soon as he showed up.

Finally, half Vassili\'s head was exposed at the entrance of the stairs. Just as he was about to look up, Chechen threw a big bundle of hay and hit Vasili on the head. Vasili lost his center of gravity and fell down the wooden ladder. When landing, the splashed pig dung fell on the robber leader\'s clothes.

"Damn it." the robber leader became angry with shame. He grabbed the sickle in Luo Dai\'s hand and stabbed the board on his head hard and hard.

"Climb again." the bandit leader ordered his opponent.

As a last resort, the two robbers climbed up the wooden ladder and began to climb up again.

At this time, the sky is getting brighter. Around the post station, the darkness began to subside. Che Chen threw several bales of hay bags again, but there were few "weapons" left in his hand.

"No matter whether it\'s death or life." as soon as Chechen gritted his teeth, he threw the last "weapon", pushed open the thatch above his head, climbed up the roof and jumped into the snow-white ground.
