After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 2
"Think of us as fools, Grandma, I haven't settled with you just now!"

The first one to jump out was a pawn named Bofu, who was as strong as a bear and had a bad temper.

Everyone hastened to dissuade them, but it was too late. Seeing the spear rushing straight to Mengdi's head with the whistling wind, they all cried out in alarm.

Meng Di seemed to be frightened, and stood still until the spear was approaching, and he stretched out his hand to hold it gently.At this time, the exclamation of the crowd came out, and they were amazed again.

Mengdi's thin body seemed to have infinite strength, no matter how hard Bofu tried, he just stood at will without moving a muscle.He said faintly: "For the sake of your not killing intent, I will forgive you once."

After finishing speaking, with a light flick of his wrist, Bo Fu was thrown several feet away.Turning back to the stunned crowd, he said: "My comrades, going north may seem dangerous, but it is not a dead end. What's more, if you run back to Yingdu before you have accomplished an inch, you may not be able to escape the military law."

Li was the first to stand up, "Brother Meng, I believe in you."

Peng Ji hesitated for a long time, but also stood up.

But most of the disciples were terrified by Wu Jun, and would rather climb the mountain path back than take risks.Just frightened by Mengdi's force, he didn't dare to say anything more.As for military law and so on, it is too far away for everyone who has only trained for less than half a month before the expedition.

In the end, there were only seven people who followed Meng Di to the north. After asking, none of them were serious farmers.The two brothers Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu were born as hunters in the mountains, Gan Ying was a craftsman, and Zhao Miao was a groom.The weirdest thing is Zhong Ying, who was originally a scholar, but because he didn't feel angry with the bullying and bullying, he killed someone in the street and was sent to death row.This time the number of recruits was insufficient, so they were stuffed in to make up the number.

It doesn't matter to Meng Di, as his own background is still unclear.

The road to the north was not as smooth as expected.

Everyone chose the small road to go forward, and still often met Wu Jun. Once, they bumped into a group of scouts. Fortunately, Meng Di was prepared and let the agile Xiao Wu Xiaoliu walk far ahead. Call the warning to avoid it.

Now everyone is used to Mengdi's magic. He can judge Wu's marching rules from the traces on the ground, and infer Wu's food situation from the horse's excrement. Even Zhao Miao, who is a groom, is amazed.

When Peng Ji was free, he pestered him to ask where the big man was, whether he was close to Yingdu, and whether the people there were all so powerful.

Big guy?Facing everyone's curious eyes, Meng Di could only smile wryly.I don't know where the big man is, has it been hidden deep in my heart?

After walking for several days without any danger, according to Li, this place is very close to the Huai River, and everyone gradually relaxed.

However, an accident happened, and there was a rapid bird call ahead, which was the agreed warning sound.Everyone hurriedly hid behind the tree, and after a while, a figure rushed into the forest, panting and shouting, "Brother Meng, Brother Meng."

"Xiao Wu, don't worry, it's over here."

Meng Di turned out from behind the tree, "What's going on?"

"There is a chariot in front, it looks like it belongs to my Chu army."

"Let's go and have a look." Everyone was overjoyed, and finally saw their own person.

The chariot was in the open space at the foot of the mountain. When I got closer, I found that it had already overturned. The four horses pulling the chariot knelt there. There were several corpses lying beside the chariot, their bodies were full of arrows. Judging by the style of the armor, it should be Chu. military.

Peng Ji circled around the corpse, muttering: "This is the charioteer, the palm of his hand is worn out by the reins. This is the man with the halberd, right?"

He picked up the halberd and waved it a few times, "Well, that's the feeling, it's the same as what my father used before."

Looking at the corpse lying on the side of the car, he said, "This is a shooter with a bow bag on his back. Hey, Brother Meng, what are you doing?"

Meng Di was staring blankly at the longbow in his hand, when he saw it for the first time, he suddenly felt very kind in his heart.

This is a bamboo bow, the bow is as tall as a person, and it is very well made.The color of the bow body is dark, it should be some years old, but the lines are still smooth, and the handle of the bow is wrapped with dense silk threads.

Meng Di held the bow and gently pulled the bowstring. This feeling of flesh and blood connection, like a part of the body that had been missing for a long time, came back, and he almost shouted out happily.Unfortunately, the bowstring is a bit soft.

"It's really a good bow." Peng Ji came over, "Tsk tsk, this archer must be very powerful. Brother Meng, this is not a bow for hunting, but a strong bow for the army. It doesn't have the strength of three or five stones, so it can't be pulled at all. .”

The rest of the people also gathered around, all curiously looking at the longbow in Mengdi's hand.

The archer who was lying still moved his hand, Li was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "This man is still alive!"

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and several chariots suddenly turned out from the foot of the mountain.

"Run!" Xiaowu Xiaoliu was the first to react. With a shout, everyone turned around and ran wildly, but there was nothing in front of them. Where did they run?
Meng Di was extremely calm, and lightly picked up a feathered arrow and placed it on the bow. Ever since he picked up this long bow, he felt that the fighting spirit was burning.

When a chariot rushed straight over, the archer on the left of the chariot was already holding a bow.

Meng Di held his breath and slowly pulled the string apart like a full moon. The soldiers in the car were startled and their faces were full of vigilance.

The chariot was still approaching, and the archer on the chariot seemed to feel that he was approaching the shooting range, so he also pulled the bowstring, and the man with the halberd on the right side of the chariot put a small round shield across the front.

"Whoosh" the bow and arrow flew out of the string, flashing like a meteor.However, the next moment, there was wild laughter from the car. It turned out that although the arrow was fast, its accuracy was ridiculously poor, and it flew obliquely to nowhere.

Peng Ji hesitated, and grabbed Li who was about to run back, "It's safe to run to the woods."

"What about Brother Meng?"

"Life is a matter of life and death, I can't take care of so much."

The archer in the car opened his bow and wanted to shoot amidst a smirk, Meng Di looked calm, and quickly picked up another feathered arrow, without aiming at it, and shot it out.

The next moment, the arrow had passed through the driver's widened mouth, and the driver tilted his head and fell on the shaft of the chariot.

The chariot rushed out obliquely, and the archer's arrow had already left the string, but it shot into the sky.

Meng Di picked up another feathered arrow, and raised his hand to shoot at the second chariot. The rider holding the bridle felt that his hand was empty and the rein was broken. The chariot lost its balance and fell sideways, throwing the soldiers on the chariot. go out.

Meng Di calmly picked up a few more feathered arrows. At this time, the third station car had rushed to the left front. The archer focused on aiming, and then shot.

Meng Di raised his hand and opened his bow at will, sparks suddenly erupted in the air.When the shooter was stunned, several feathered arrows bloomed like flowers at the same time, and then, four horses dragged the empty chariot past, and the soldiers on the chariot rolled out on the ground.

Seeing this, the remaining chariots circled around in a big circle, and then walked away on their own.

All of a sudden, in the open field, apart from the soldier lying on the ground, Meng Di stood tall with a longbow in his hand.
