Chapter 4 Tracking

At dawn, two figures were hanging in the wilderness. Ying Yi held a whistle stick, and Sun Xiucai also took a stick, walking along the loess road, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Brother Ying, the thief is now besieging Kaifeng. Should we go straight to Kaifeng or..."

Sun Xiucai had recovered some energy at this time, but his determination last night was a little weaker. The so-called scholar rebelled for three years. It was said that he was a person like Sun Xiucai. He had read books and knew that the thief was powerful, and he was afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, so he had less decisions.

He said, "In my opinion, it is better to go and find officers and soldiers."

When Ying Yi heard him speak, he paused every time and said, "If you want to go find officers and soldiers, then go. I will go find a tiger to take revenge."

Ying Yi did not have any hope for the officers and soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty.

Those officers and soldiers were almost the same as bandits. In the end of the dynasty, people's hearts were dispersed and all orders collapsed. Bandits passed like combs, and soldiers passed like combs. How could officers and soldiers be better than bandits? Perhaps local officers and soldiers in local counties had a bottom line in order to protect their wives and children's property. But there were a lot of people like Zuo Liangyu.

Last night, Ying Yi didn't sleep for half a night and thought a lot.

When he came to this time and space, he was already panicked and insecure. He knew that it was the end of Chongzhen and that the thieves were rampant, the people were displaced, and that the heavens did not give mercy, and that natural disasters were repeated for years. He also knew that the barbarians went south and occupied the Central Plains, and that the Xia civilization would usher in a darkest period.

He was frightened and had to become a turtle. He was not the protagonist in the novels he had read. He did not have the courage to live in the world as soon as he traveled through time and did not regard himself as Long Aotian. He was just a person, a lonely visitor from a different time and space, looking confused and helpless.

He could only deceive himself and turn a blind eye. He hid in a remote place in Xiaowangzhuang, hoping to live a peaceful and stable life.

Even with the golden finger and the golden finger he called the True Spirit System, he didn't think of how to turn the tide.

However, he did not hide.

He has no courage, but he is a man from the ancient Taoist path. He knows that the grace of a drop of water will be repaid with a spring of grace. He knows the principle of repaying virtue with virtue. When he came to this time and space, Brother Zhang saved him when he was about to die of hunger. The sister-in-law of the Zhang family treated him like a sister. Xiao Ya was so smart and cute.

But all this turned into a bubble.

Those thieves and animals, Ying Yi was determined to use his own hands to seek justice for the three Zhang family members and the villagers of Xiao Wangzhuang.

Speaking of which, Ying Yi still has some memory of Li Zicheng and others. In the history textbooks of later generations, he had a positive attitude towards these people and called them peasant uprising troops. Although Ying Yi is no longer the age to be fooled at will, he also knows that Li Zicheng and others are not necessarily good things. But he could hardly imagine that these thieves were so careless.

What a great person, Brother Zhang, Xiao Ya is only seven years old, and the people of Xiao Wangzhuang are invincible. What mistakes did they make?!

Ying Yi asked himself over and over again.

That Li Guo seems to be called a bullshit national hero in later generations, why is this a hero? Go to him? Bad!

Ying Yi wished he could catch this beast and tear him into pieces inch by inch, and it would be hard to relieve his hatred!

Revenge is Ying Yi’s biggest thought now. But he never thought about pretending to be someone else’s hand. The Ming Dynasty was about to collapse and all order collapsed. Where can we still hope? The surrounding towns are in panic. How could someone send troops to attack the thieves just by a small Wangzhuang? It’s too late to hide.

Therefore, Sun Xiucai's proposal was not taken seriously by Ying Yi at all.

He knew Sun Xiucai's virtue. Although he wanted to take revenge, he became scared again after calming down.

This is the villain.

When Sun Xiucai heard this, he became anxious and said, "But only you and me, how can you take revenge? Brother Ying, I know that you are extremely powerful, but if you can defeat ten people, you can defeat more than a hundred people? If you can defeat more than a hundred people, you can defeat more than ten people? If you can defeat more than a hundred people, you can defeat more than ten people? You can defeat hundreds of thousands of thieves!"

"I have my own way."

Ying Yi was unmoved: "If you want to find the officers and soldiers, then go, you and I will separate here."

Sun Xiucai looked entangled, and after a moment he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. At worst, I don't have this life. My wife and children are gone, what's the point of living?"

Ying Yi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Let's go."

This is considered a unified thinking.

Ying Yi asked, "Who did you say yesterday that a tiger was ordered by the thief to contact?"

Sun Xiucai said: "I didn't hear it clearly. But it's definitely yes. It seems that I'm going to Nanyang to welcome someone."

"I will definitely welcome a certain thief." Ying Yi knew it in his mind and said, "Then are they on the way to go or on the way back?"

Sun Xiucai shook his head: "I don't know."

He also said: "The horse's hoof print is quite clear. Do you want to chase it?"

Ying Yi tightened the whistle stick in his hand: "The faster the better. If it is just a team of horses with a hundred people, it is nothing. If there are thousands or tens of thousands of people, it will be difficult to deal with."

Suichi Sun immediately understood.

But he said in a tangled way: "But they ride horses, you and I walk..."

Ying Yi said: "So you can't go with me. I'm fast, you can't keep up."

The two walked and arrived at a three-way intersection. A small path was the one that Ying Yi and the others came, leading directly to Xiaowangzhuang. The other two went north and south. There were deep horse hoof marks. Ying Yi observed carefully for a moment and said, "They went south. It was on the way."

Then he said, "The thieves besieged Kaifeng, is it in the north?"

Sun Xiucai nodded quickly: "To the south is Nanyang Prefecture, to the north is Kaifeng Prefecture."

"Okay." Ying Yi thought for a while: "I'll chase a tiger southward. Go north and find a place to wait for me. If things are done, I'll come to you. If things are not done, I'll come to you too."

Sun Xiucai thought, "Then let Ye County. If a tiger returns to Kaifeng, he must pass Ye County."

As he spoke, Sun Xiucai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know how Ye County is going. I have a few classmates who happened to go and inquire about the news."

Ying Yi was completely unlucky and said at the end: "No one knows the situation in Ye County. There are only a hundred people in a tiger, so it should not be captured Ye County. But it is not ruled out that there are other thieves. Be careful."

Sun Xiucai nodded.

The two parted at the intersection.

Ying Yi took a big step and followed the loess road to the south with horse hoof prints. Sun Xiucai went to Ye County to the north.

Ying Yi chased for a day and ran into the traces left by the thief burying a pot and rebelling. But those traces were shocking and outrageous!

They eat people!

Some young bones fell all over the ground, and their tender heads looked at the sky and accused the thief of their despair.

Ying Yi no longer knows how to describe the hatefulness of the thief.

All the sins in this world are reflected in these thieves.
