Song Jiang took Chao Yong's token, and he was able to go all the way without any hindrance.
After leaving the water park, Song Jiang took a small road and rushed to Songjiazhuang. Outside Songjiazhuang, which he arrived that night, Song Jiang hid in the woods for a while, watching every house close its doors and turn off the lights. Then he quietly entered the village and arrived behind his house. Knock on the door.
"Bang bang"
Although Song Jiang didn¡¯t dare to exert too much force, the sound of knocking on the door still seemed very abrupt in the silent night.
"Woof woof woof"
Because the current emperor Zhao Ji was born in the year of the dog, he issued a decree to ban dog slaughter throughout the country. However, there were many dogs raised in the village and wild dogs outside the village.
As soon as Song Jiang knocked on the door, a nearby watchdog barked, and then the dogs in the village responded to each other. For a while, the village was full of barking dogs.
Song Jiang heard the footsteps of villagers nearby, and knew that they were coming out to check. He immediately became anxious, stepped back, walked a few steps, jumped up, climbed onto the wall, and jumped into his yard.
"who"
Song Qing had not yet fallen asleep when he heard a knock on the door. Just as he was about to go out and open the door, he saw a man jumping in from the wall. He quickly picked up a wooden stick in the courtyard and looked at the man warily.
Song Jiang saw that it was Song Qing and hurriedly whispered: "It's me, brother, don't be loud."
Song Qing heard his brother¡¯s voice and hurriedly came up and asked, ¡°Why is my brother back?¡±
Song Jiang quickly said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk after we enter the house."
Song Qing said hurriedly: "The news about you in Jiangzhou has been spread here. This county has sent a Zhao Dutou to live in my house every day, just waiting for you to come and throw yourself into the trap. If the court documents arrive, you will not come yet. , we, father and son, are going to be imprisoned. There are still dozens of soldiers living in the front yard. Without further ado, please hurry up and ask the leader of Liangshan to come and save my father and brother."
Song Jiang was still talking, but he heard footsteps coming from the front yard, and someone asked at the same time: "Who was knocking on the door just now?"
Song Qing hurriedly took two steps, opened the door, and said: "Brother, hurry up, they are local soldiers from the county."
After hearing this, Song Jiang didn¡¯t care to say anything more and ran out.
At this time, the soldiers from the front yard had also walked to the backyard. When they saw a black figure running out, they immediately shouted: "No, Song Jiang is coming. Everyone, chase after him. Don't let him go."
When many local soldiers in the front yard heard Song Jiang's appearance, they immediately came to chase him.
When Song Jiang heard that many people were chasing him, he immediately panicked and ran into the darkness.
After running for a while, I heard the sound of chasing behind me slightly farther away.
Song Jiang dared to slow down, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but secretly complain.
After running for a while with my head covered, I came to Huandao Village.
?? This Huandao Village is surrounded by high mountains and ridges, with a stream flowing from the mountain stream, but there is only one road in the middle, leading to the Xuannv Temple in the middle of the mountain.
Xuannv, also known as Jiutian Niangniang and Jiutian Xuannv in the countryside, is one of the Taoist gods.
Taoism says that the emperor and Chi You fought in Zhuolu, but the emperor could not win. He sighed at the power of Mount Tai and was moved by the queen mother, so he ordered the Nine Heavens Xuannv to descend and give the emperor Dunjia, soldiers, talismans, maps, strategies, seals, swords, etc. He made eighty-faced ox drums and defeated Chiyou, thus ruling the world.
Therefore, she was enshrined as a female fairy by Taoism. During the Han and Wei dynasties, Xuannv had a great influence among the people. According to legend, Xuannv and Xuan are the elders of Fangzhongshu. Peng Zu and Lao Dan are their students. Huangdi's ascension also depends on their magic. Among Xuansu, Xuannv ranks first.
The people worshiped her, firstly they wanted to pray for a long life like Peng Zu, and secondly they also wanted to have a son, because Xuannv was proficient in Fangzhongshu.
Huandao Village is next to Songjiazhuang, and Song Jiang has been here many times. Naturally, he knows that this road is a dead end, and there is no other way to go down the mountain.
"Don't leave Song Jiang, there will be a heavy reward if you catch him."
When Song Jiang was about to turn around and escape, he found that his pursuers were approaching, so he had to continue moving forward.
When I climbed halfway up the mountain, I ran through a forest and saw an ancient temple.
Seeing that there was no other hiding place left or right, Song Jiang had no choice but to open the temple door and come in, then close the door from the inside and hide.
When Song Jiang was checking where he could hide in the temple, he heard someone say from outside: "Maybe he hid in this temple."
Then a burst of footsteps came from far to near.
Song Jiang suddenly panicked and looked around, but there was no hiding place. The Xuannv Empress enshrined in the middle was not very tall, and she couldn't hide behind her.
There is only a sacred table in front of the temple, with some tributes placed on it.
Song Jiang didn't have time to think too much, he ran over quickly, lifted up the curtain on the case, and got inside, but he could barely hide from him. When I heard that the people outside had come to the door, I quickly held my breath, not daring to breathe out, and just secretly prayed for thoseThe soldiers did not dare to come and uncover the mystery.
"Squeak"
With a muffled sound, several soldiers pushed the door open and came in.
The temple door opened, and the bright moonlight suddenly shone in.
Song Jiang hid behind the curtain, and when he saw the bright moonlight, he couldn't help but be so scared that he fell to the ground.
The new Dutou of Yuncheng County, Zhao Neng, had a panoramic view of the temple, turned around and said, "This guy is not in the temple, and there is no way out, so where did he go?"
A soldier said: "Could it be hiding in the woods in front?"
Zhao Neng heard this and said hurriedly: "It's broken, Zhao needs you to quickly take a few people to guard the intersection below. I will take people to search in the woods. With this skill, he shouldn't be able to run away. Let's leave quickly."
With that said, he led a group of local soldiers back in a hurry.
Song Jiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them leaving, but he felt worried again.
??This Huandao Village has only one road going down the mountain. When going up, it is difficult to climb, and there is no way to go down the mountain on both sides. If they kept guarding the intersection, it would be difficult for Song Jiang to go down the mountain.
Song Jiang did not dare to go out, so he could only hide under the divine case, praying that Zhao Neng and others could not find him and retreat to Songjiazhuang, so that he could escape back to Liangshan.
Song Jiang thought for a while, and was afraid that if Zhao Neng and others could not find him in the woods, they would come to the temple to look for him. Then they would find him with just a little search.
Song Jiang gritted his teeth and decided to sneak into the forest where they had searched while they were searching. Presumably, they would not search a second time. If they did search, there would be more places to hide in the forest, which would be better than here. Sit back and wait for death.
Thinking of this, Song Jiang was about to drill out. When he pressed his hand on the back, he heard a "squeak" sound.
Song Jiang opened the curtain and looked through the moonlight. He saw a small grid on the wall that was originally tight and seamless, but inside was an object wrapped in a handkerchief.
Song Jiang didn¡¯t have time to take a closer look, picked it up, put it in his arms, and ran out.
After leaving the temple gate, Song Jiang saw that the local soldiers from Yuncheng County had lit many torches and were gradually searching deeper into the forest.
Song Jiang didn¡¯t dare to hide in the woods boldly, so he could only shrink into the darkness and slowly lean into the woods. At least he did not alert the soldiers and successfully hid in the woods.
Song Jiang was afraid that the soldiers would hit him when he returned, so he found a book with leafy leaves, climbed up quietly, and hid it on it.
The forest was not very big. It didn't take long for Zhao Neng to search the area with the soldiers, but no trace of Song Jiang was found. He thought for a while and said to a soldier: "Go down and take a look at the people who are chasing you." Did you see someone escaping?"
Song Jiang hid in the tree, watching Zhao Neng and others walking past him, he couldn't help but be so frightened that he didn't dare to express his anger.
Fortunately, they had already searched this area just now, so no one looked up at the tree again, otherwise they would definitely find Song Jiang.
Zhao Neng led people out of the woods, took a look at Xuannv Temple, and suddenly said: "Isn't that guy hiding under the sacred table in the temple? I didn't look at it just now."
With that said, he led the people to gather in front of the temple again.
Song Jiang saw from the tree that they had gone to search the temple again, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
Zhao Neng and others went to the temple and saw that there was just enough room for one person to be hidden under the divine case. Zhao Neng did not dare to lift the curtain, fearing that if Song Jiang was really hiding inside, a fatal blow would kill him.
"Go and open the curtain and take a look."
The soldier who was targeted by Zhao Neng walked over cautiously.
Zhao Neng and others stared at the mysterious case as if facing a formidable enemy, in case Song Jiang suddenly jumped out.
The soldier tiptoed to the side of the altar, grabbed the curtain, and suddenly pulled it off.
"Ding"
The incense burner placed on the desk was pulled to the ground, and the incense ashes inside suddenly fluttered up.
"careful"
Zhao Neng and others hurriedly covered their eyes, and at the same time slashed at the incense table with knives and guns to prevent Song Jiang from taking the opportunity to jump out and hurt others.
Naturally, everyone chopped it down, and when the ashes fell down and everyone looked under the incense case, there was no one.
Zhao Neng took a disappointed look, and when he was about to leave, a soldier shouted: "Someone was hiding here before. There is a fingerprint in this grid. It seems to be a new one."
When Zhao Neng walked over to take a look, he found that the small grid was unknown how old it was, and it was under the incense case. Although it had been sealed by a mechanism before, incense ashes continued to fall down every day, and there was still some dust inside.
A soldier with sharp eyes pointed to the place where the handkerchief was previously placed and said: "There is no dust on the edge. I don't know what is there. It must have been taken away by Song Jiang."
After Zhao Neng heard this, he couldn't help but become greedy. If something was hidden in such a secret little compartment, it must be a treasure. He didn't expect it.This time, there was an unexpected surprise.
A soldier said: "That guy must have escaped from here and got into the forest while we were searching the forest."
Zhao Neng waved his hand and said, "Let's go find him in the woods."
Song Jiang saw Zhao Neng and others holding torches in the tree, and they swarmed to the edge of the forest. He was so frightened that he almost fell under the tree.
"A few flattering soldiers have already entered the forest, holding torches and searching up and down.
Song Jiang saw that a native soldier was about to find him under the tree where he was hiding, and he couldn't help but become anxious. As long as the native soldier shines a torch, he will definitely find himself.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away out of the tree to defeat the soldier preemptively and grab a simple knife.
I heard Zhao Neng shouting from outside: "Everyone, come out first."
The soldiers under the tree that was about to arrive turned around and went back. Song Jiang almost jumped down. Seeing that there was a chance of improvement, he quickly grabbed the branches to steady himself.
"Du Tou, why aren't you looking for it?"
Zhao Neng glanced at the dark forest, shook his head and said: "It's hard to see anyone in this forest. When we go to look for him again, I'm afraid he will take the opportunity to dodge to another place. There is only one way out at the foot of the mountain in Dao Village, so we are not afraid of him." If he escapes, we will just go to the foot of the mountain and wait until daybreak to search the forest carefully. We are not afraid that he will spread his wings and fly away." (To be continued.
