Chapter 36 Rescue
Afraid that the lights were attracting the attention of the kidnappers, Yan Zihui did not bring any lighting tools and only used the faint starlight to explore the way. Fortunately, he learned the skills of individual reconnaissance abroad very effectively. After walking for about half an hour, the trees gradually became denser and the terrain was in a tendency to rise.
After walking for a while, Yan Zi turned his eyes and saw a strip of cloth hanging on the branch in front of him. He stepped forward and took it down. After a closer look, it was a white silk handkerchief. On one corner of the handkerchief, the word "Happy" was embroidered with lake blue silk thread. It was in plum blossom seal script, small and ingenious, very unique and beautiful.
Yan Zi replied and put his handkerchief in his pocket, "It seems that the person is nearby. Please be careful and put your hands and feet lighter, so don't disturb the thief."
"Captain Yan, that handkerchief belongs to my lady." Zhou Zhennan reminded.
Yan Zi glanced at him without saying a word. He wouldn't have been interested in this veil if it weren't Yi Huan's. After walking a few steps forward, Yan Zi returned to the tree with a few steps. Zhou Zhennan was stunned at first, but when he thought about it, he knew his intention and climbed up to the distance.
Yan Zi climbed back to the tree and looked around. When it was already past midnight, it was pitch black everywhere, but there seemed to be a little flashing in the southwest direction. Because the bandits were entrenched, there were no villages in this area, and even if there were villages, there would not be only a ball of fire. So it is basically certain that most of the fire was where the kidnappers were.
After taking advantage of the reference object, he looked about seven or eight miles away. Yan Zi returned from the tree and said, "I found them, right ahead."
Everyone was nervous when they heard this. Although there were only six kidnappers from the Dadao Gang Master, Li Erhu was very good at it and could beat three, not to mention that Yi Huan was in his hands. If he took Yi Huan as a hostage, Yan Zihui and others would be afraid of it and dare not let it go.
After walking southwest with a gentle hands and feet for more than ten or twenty minutes, Yan Zihui could already see the fire in front of him directly. The two sides were only two miles apart. Yan Zihui whispered: "Be careful to move forward and beware of the bandits' squad and ambush."
Everyone became more and more careful, but Yan Zihui was worried too much. The kidnappers were just small gangsters who were mixed up with gangs and were not wary. Everyone lurked to a place only fifty meters away from Huo Li, and did not find any secret whistles. Even the bandits did not notice that someone was approaching them.
Yan Zi made a gesture back and signaled everyone to squat down and use the bushes in front as cover. The distance was very close, and you could see the situation ahead and hear the bandits' conversation. There was a small open space in front, and there was a bunch of small bonfires in the middle of the open space. On this cold day, staying outside here, even if there was a fire, it would not be too warm. The four people gathered around the bonfire.
I didn't see Yi Huan, and the number of kidnappers was two less than expected. Yan Zihui did not act rashly. After carefully observing the terrain around the open space, he quickly ordered: "Jianming, you take four people here. Tengxuan, you take four people around from the left, and the others followed me to the right. We surrounded them, determined Miss Yi's location, and then listened to my order before taking action."
Everyone nodded heavily to show that they understood what he meant.
After half an hour, Yan Zihui and others arrived at a place only twenty meters away from the open space. The view was wider than before. Yan Zihui finally saw Yi Huan and two other bandits. Yi Huan was sitting on the ground, and the two bandits were standing, because they were carrying light on their backs, and they could not see their appearance clearly.
"Brother Erhu, this little girl has a good appearance, it's a pity to kill her. It's better to sell it to a kiln and make more money."
"You have to say that if it weren't for making more money, I would have had to spend so much effort to get her out of the city and drink the northwest wind here in the barren mountains and fields." Li Erhu said angrily.
"I just knew that Brother Erhu was this." Another person praised.
"As long as you follow me and listen to me, I promise you will have something to eat and drink something spicy." Li Erhu said shamelessly.
The other person naturally vowed to follow Li Erhu, and he would never hesitate to go up the sword and go down the sea of fire.
One bragged and the other was the supporting actor, and the chat was lively. Yan Zi frowned. Yi Huan didn't hear it. She lowered her head and ate the sorghum cake seriously. The bandits were not afraid of her escaping, so they loosened her.
Yi Huan also knew that she couldn't escape under this situation, and she had no intention of running away. The reason why she didn't think the food was bad and forced herself to eat was because she was worried that when someone came to save her, she would not have the strength to run away and let these people take her hostage.
Yan Zihui found out the situation and took out his gun, "Shao Zhong, I'm on your side, are there any problems?" The light at night was unclear, so it was relatively difficult to shoot in this situation and hit the target.
"No problem." The man who had been following him replied in a deep voice.
"Aim, I count three, two, and shoot at the same time." Yan Zi raised his gun and said.
The man did the same thing. Zhou Zhennan glanced at the spear in his hand and frowned. He had to find a way to get a pistol if he had the chance.
"Three, two, one." Yan Zi counted one back, and the two shot at the same time. Fires flashed out of the guns in the dark night, which was very noticeable. Li Erhu saw it, but the bullet was too fast to react at all. He was shot between his eyebrows, and the person fell backward, and he died. The other person was slightly better than him. He was hit in the chest and did not die at all. He fell to the ground and twitched a few times. As for the beautiful life they imagined, it was over before it even began. They didn't know who died at the hands of them.
Yi Huan was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, threw down the cake in her hand, and crawled into the grass next to her. She was not sure whether the person coming was an enemy or a friend, so she would rather hide it first.
The guns of this era do not have sound silencers. Two gunshots alarmed the four people who were burning fire by the bonfire. They looked around in panic, "What's going on? It seems like gunfire."
"It's gunshots, could it be that some bandits went down the mountain?"
"It's midnight, what do they do when they run down the mountain?"
"You ask what else can the bandits do when they go down the mountain? They can rob the house."
Before the four of them could discuss it clearly, Yan Zi shouted back: "Take it."
The people lying in the grass suddenly rushed out and rushed towards the four kidnappers. Yan Zihui didn't do anything. He went to the grass to find Yi Huan, "Huan'er, don't be afraid, it's me, Yan Zihui, I'm here to save you."
Yi Huan couldn't believe it when she heard the familiar voice and familiar names. She looked up at the tall man walking over, "How could you come?" She never dreamed that the person who saved her would be him.
"You come out first, then talk." Yan Zi stretched out his hand.
