Chapter 25: Market Town

Guo Shanfeng drew his bow and aimed forward.

But he never expected that the refugees would suddenly scatter in all directions. There was chaos and confusion everywhere, with so many people that he didn't know who to shoot.

In fact, he wanted to shoot Fang Zhixing.

It was Fang Zhixing who was commanding the refugees. Without his command, these refugees were useless and posed no threat. Wouldn't they just let the bandits take advantage of them? The crowd was in chaos and the sky was dark.

Whoosh! Guo Shan Feng gritted his teeth and shot an arrow at random, but he missed anyone, which made him even more furious.

"Go chase him, you bastard!"

Guoshanfeng kicked the torch on the ground away and ran forward with big strides.

The bandits hurriedly followed.

The refugees in front are running, and the bandits behind are chasing them.

Whoosh! Suddenly, a cold arrow shot from the side, so sudden!

Guoshanfeng's head suddenly tilted violently, he stopped walking, his eyes widened, revealing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

The arrow entered his neck from the left side and exited from the right side.

"Boss?!"

The bandits were all stunned and horrified.

The arrow came out of nowhere and caught everyone off guard.

They hurriedly looked to the left. The maple forest was dense and full of shadows. No one knew where the archer was hiding.

For a moment, the bandits were terrified and hid behind a tree.

After a while, the shooter didn't shoot again.

A few brave bandits walked out cautiously, but when they saw their boss Guo Shanfeng, they realized that he had already stopped breathing and died with his eyes open.

At the same time, Fang Zhixing and others ran down the mountain and entered a road.

"Hahaha, those bandits probably never thought that we could really get through."

"That's right, those bandits were all dumbfounded!"

"Great, we can go to Xiaoqinghe market town!"

"You can take a boat from the market town pier to the county town. I heard that there are people giving out porridge there, and you can find some profitable work there."

…

The refugees all smiled happily, and their lifeless eyes were brightened up again.

Three elderly men came up to Fang Zhixing.

They knew very well that if it weren't for Fang Zhixing's advice and proper command, they would not have been able to break through the bandits' blockade so easily.

"This warrior is truly a great man, a true hero!" The three elderly elders bowed down, their faces full of admiration.

"You're welcome." Fang Zhixing raised his hand and said calmly, "It's nothing, actually. Those bandits are just a mob."

He didn't brag.

At the beginning, he didn't know the details of the bandits and didn't dare to act rashly.

When the two sides came into close combat, he was sure that those bandits were nothing.

The bandit leader Guo Shanfeng was just a reckless man. Apart from his impotence and rage, he didn't have any great abilities. In the end, he was shot to death by him with an arrow.

Explosive skill: Curved shot!

It is indeed very useful and can be used to mislead the enemy.

Guoshanfeng never knew until his death that the arrow that killed him was actually shot from right in front of him.

All in all, if he forced his way in alone, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Fang Zhixing glanced at the sky and asked, "How far is our Xiaoqinghe market town?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The village chief Hei Niu replied, "Not far, maybe twelve or thirteen miles."

Fang Zhixing quickly understood what was going on and continued moving forward without stopping.

Soon, a three-way intersection appeared ahead with a signpost next to it.

Seeing this scene, Fang Zhixing instantly realized that Xiaoqinghe Town is an important transportation hub connecting the entire Funiu Mountains.

If someone wants to get out of the mountains, the first stop is Xiaoqinghe Town.

Fang Zhixing glanced at the road sign, looked around at everyone and asked, "Is there anyone who can read?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one stood up.

Fang Zhixing finally understood and felt a little disappointed.

He originally thought that he could find someone who could read and teach him to read, but he really overestimated the cultural level of these country folk.

Without universal education, writing becomes a monopoly and is only mastered by a special class of people.

The crowd quickly passed the fork in the road and walked forward for several miles.

Suddenly, at the end of the road shrouded in darkness, a bright light appeared.

Fang Zhixing looked up and vaguely saw a group of buildings with green tiles, white walls, and several tall buildings.

"We're here. That's Xiaoqinghe Town!"
