Chapter 305: Ji Shizi is back
Soon more than half an hour passed, and most of the water bandits in Wufu Tower were taken down or killed by officers and soldiers, and only a few people were still barely resisting in order to survive.
At the same time, on the other side of the noisy long street, a man with a woolen felt hat appeared. He wore his usual coarse cotton jacket, craned his neck, and inserted his hands into his sleeves. Passing the crowd alarmed by the shouts of killing, he walked into a dark and narrow alley behind the long street.
His steps were heavy, as if with some unknown emotion. His wheezing sound was heavy, as if he was losing his strength. When he heard a sudden cricket cry in the night, he immediately stopped and looked up at the wall where the sound was made.
There would definitely be no crickets on this cold day, and sure enough, he saw a black shadow lying on the high wall. The black shadow was motionless and almost blended into the night, and if it weren't for that untimely cricket call, it would not have been noticeable even if it had passed underneath.
The man's eyes lit up, and he quickly glanced around, and there was no one else but him in this gloomy narrow alley.
The man scurried like a tanuki to the base of the wall, and a hemp rope hung down from it. The man reached out and grabbed the hemp rope, tugged at it vigorously, and then climbed up the high wall along the hemp rope, and soon disappeared into the night with the figure.
In the courtyard is a small two-story building, with east and west wings on both sides. The vermilion wall and tile, the cornices and corners, the painted beams and carved buildings, the flower window corridor, appear very exquisite. The front and back of the building are surrounded by some dwarf trees. Several bright lanterns hung under the cloister that brought light to the dark courtyard.
The man with the wool felt hat squatted in the bushes behind the cloister, hid his figure, and then asked the people around him in a low voice: "Water monkey, where are the people?"
The water monkey whispered to Nunu, a dark room on the second floor, "The third master, the people are in that room." The lights were lit before, but they were blown out, so I guess I found something, right?"
The third master looked up, and his gloomy face also showed a trace of doubt and vigilance. He thought for a moment, and then said, "Where are those officers and soldiers who protect her?"
The water monkey sneered and said, "Originally, they were all guarding outside, but then it was too cold, so they went back to the house to roast the fire, leaving only two people to guard the shelter at the staircase." He raised his forearm, revealing the arm arch tied to it, and said gloomily: "Just leave these two people to me!"
The third master patted him on the shoulder, smiled approvingly, and said in a low voice: "One hundred thousand taels is in hand, and half of our brothers are one, and we don't need to go back to Qingfeng Village." With silver in hand, you can't go anywhere in the north and south. ”
The water monkey's eyes lit up and said, "Thank you for the three masters!"
The three masters smiled silently, and a hint of different color flashed in their deep eyes, but unfortunately they were covered by the darkness. Even though the water monkey was as cunning as a fox, he was squinted by the fifty thousand taels of silver that was about to arrive.
Xiao Lou was opposite them, and the water monkey walked in the silent corridor, he watched around vigilantly, slowly moving in the direction of Xiao Lou. He had just taken a few steps when he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind behind him, enveloping him.
This strong wind was extremely strong, and it was the only time in the life of the water monkey to see it! He knew that it must be a strong enemy sneak attack, and in a terrible way, he only had time to shoot an arrow backwards, and then flew forward and pounced.
Although he reacted quickly, he was a step too late. The back of the heart was stabbed hard, and the water monkey flew forward like a kite with a broken string. The person was still in mid-air, and a large pomp of blood spurted from the wound and landed on the cold bluestone slab ground.
The water monkey struggled to his feet and turned his head to look, only to see a tall man standing behind him. Under the bright lights, the reddish-brown scar on the man's face became more and more hideous and dazzling. The snow-bright steel knife hanging down in his hand reflected a cold glow that made people's hearts palpitate.
The doors of the east and west wings were quickly opened, and countless officers and soldiers poured out of it, all of them mercilessly pointing their swords at the seriously injured water monkey.
The water monkey's heart almost sank to the bottom, and he knew that this time, he was afraid that it would be more than lucky!
The water monkey attracted everyone's attention, but the three masters took the opportunity to quietly touch the second floor. Although the lights were bright under the porch, the room was dark. Without thinking, he pushed open the door and strode inside. Suddenly into the darkness, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.
After a little hesitation, the three masters heard the subtle sound of clothes fluttering. His heart moved, and he just wanted to dodge but felt that his neck was being held against him with a sharp weapon.
The third master took a deep breath, and finally spoke helplessly: "Don't be nervous, it's me!"
"Ji Huang?" in the darkness, Hua Lianyue exclaimed.
The lights in the house were rekindled, Ji Huang took off the sheepskin felt hat on his head, and said to Hua Lianyue, who was still shocked: "The water bandits who attacked Wufu Building have been wiped out, and the water bandit downstairs has slipped through the net." Known as the water monkey, don't look young, but it is extremely cunning and murderous without blinking.
He followed you all the way into this courtyard, and if it weren't for the large number of you, he was afraid that he would startle the snakes, and you would definitely suffer a lot of dark losses tonight. ”
Hua Lianyue didn't listen carefully to what he was saying at all, and only hurriedly ordered the officers and soldiers outside: "Go and call the prince back, just say that Ji Shizi is back"
.......
No one thought that when Ji Huang, who couldn't see anyone alive or dead, and couldn't see the corpse, reappeared, he would actually be the notorious Qingfeng Zhai three masters. Even Ji Huang himself was confused when he mentioned this matter.
After falling from a cliff into the Xinye River that day, Ji Huang did not die. It's just that the back of his head was already unconscious before falling into the water because he hit the rock of the mountain wall when he rolled down.
Luckily, a passing merchant ship quickly spotted him and scooped him out of the water so that he didn't become a drowning ghost. It is a pity that the owner of the ship saw that he had a high fever and was in a semi-confused state, for fear that he would die on the ship and cause trouble. So he docked the merchant ship to the shore and asked the men to carry him off the ship and throw him in the grass.
The guy was kind enough to secretly leave some food with him.
A rain at night woke Ji Huang from his coma, he didn't know why he was lying alone in the wild, but he knew that if he continued to lie down, he would be either a beast or death. In such a life-and-death situation, he burst out with amazing perseverance.
Ji Huang struggled with the last bit of strength to fill his stomach with these rain-soaked foods. He took off his coat again, wrapped the rest of the food on his back, and stumbled in search of shelter from the wind and rain.
Fortunately, before he ran out of strength, he found an abandoned farmhouse courtyard in a col not far from the river.
There are no radishes and potatoes in the vegetable garden behind the courtyard. There were half-woven fishing nets on the earthen walls of the hut, and several fish baskets, large and small, were piled up in the corners. Then there was a straw-covered clay kang, a pile of worn-out farm tools, a few old tables and chairs with peeled paint, and nothing else.
It seems that the owner of the house was originally a villager who was good at fishing, and he was probably afraid that he would be affected by the war, so he took his family out to flee for his life.
After finding this thatched hut, Ji Huang's remaining strength was basically exhausted, and he fell into a coma again while lying on the soil pit covered with straw. Only occasionally when he is awake, he will desperately stuff food into his mouth. Because he didn't know when he would pass out again, and when he would wake up the next moment.
After a few days in this way, when Ji Huang woke up from his slumber again, he found that the silence was so terrible that he didn't know who lit a bean-sized oil lamp, and the dim light was blown by the night wind like water waves.
A delicate woman heard the movement and hurried through the door, holding a steaming medicine bowl in her hand.
When she met his blank but vigilant eyes, the woman's eyes turned red and she looked very excited. But he seemed to have scruples, and he didn't dare to get too close, biting his red lip and hesitating for a moment. The woman said cautiously: "You, you finally woke up, does the wound still hurt?"
Ji Huang was stunned, and carefully looked at the woman in front of him who was in tatters, had unkempt hair, and looked very embarrassed. After half a ring, he split his thin lips full of small wounds and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
The medicine bowl in the woman's hand smashed to the ground, and her beautiful eyes were full of horror and disbelief.
Ji Huang seemed to be stimulated by the sound of the medicine bowl shattering, and a sharp pain suddenly hit his brain. He rolled on the kang with his head that seemed to explode, hissing and wailing like a wild beast.
The woman was frightened and rushed forward to help him, but he pushed him away. He roared hoarsely, "Who are you, who am I, what the hell is this place!"
Yes, Ji Huang has amnesia, not only forgetting himself, forgetting the future, but also falling into a problem that will cause severe headaches when stimulated.
The woman didn't know what kind of mentality she had, so she only told him that her name was Feixue, and she would appear here because she was separated from her family. Ji Huang knew that she was lying, but he didn't bother to expose it, because he saw that this woman who called herself Feixue did not have the slightest malice towards him.
With Feixue's care, Ji Huang recovered extremely quickly. One person lit the fire, the other cooked, but after a few quiet days. Although she can only eat half-raw radishes every day and boiled potatoes lightly, Feixue still feels very happy.
It's just that Ji Huang, who was born with rebellious blood in his bones and has nothing to do, how could he stand such a boring day.
So he repaired the nets of the fishing boat left by the family, dug up all the turnips and potatoes, and cooked them. He was preparing for a long journey, and he did this without asking for Blizzard's opinion, and Blizzard never asked.
Ji Huang thought that they would part ways in this dilapidated thatched hut, and carefully separated half of the radish and the ripe yam and left it for Feixue as rations. Because he had long seen that Feixue would never be an ordinary village woman, her delicate skin, her long smooth and silky hair, the smooth jade bracelet on her wrist, and her elegant conversation...... All show that her background is extraordinary.
In his mind, she was just a passerby in his own life. didn't know that this stubborn woman had long regarded him as the only one in life.
So when Ji Huang was ready to make all preparations and prepare to sail the world along the Xinye River, Feixue was already quietly sitting on the fishing boat and waiting.
For some reason, after Ji Huang boarded the ship, he found that Feixue was also there, and it was a life-and-death insistence, and he actually had an indescribable relief and secret joy in his heart. It was as if he had been convinced from the bottom of his heart that this woman was destined to follow in his footsteps.
So on this narrow and swaying fishing boat, Ji Huang made this woman truly his own woman. It's just that he doesn't understand why she is obviously laughing, why there are unstoppable tears sliding down the corners of her eyes. He thought he had hurt the scar on her back, because it was so large and horrific that it seemed to have completely shaved off the skin on her back.
Ji Huang didn't want to ask about the origin of the terrifying scar, but just stroked it gently over and over again. Feixue's tears fell more and more in his arms, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker.
They drifted on the Xinye River for several days, and finally came across the elusive Qingfeng Village to rob. Of course, their dilapidated fishing boat, the water bandits in Qingfeng Village are not eye-catching, and they are robbing a passing merchant ship.
Ji Huang and Feixue are extremely indifferent and selfish people in their bones. They will not be heroes, in order to save strangers they have never known and offend those fierce and vicious water bandits, so they quietly avoid the sidelines.
It's a pity that they don't cause trouble, but things will mess with them. The sailors had robbed their belongings and were happily returning home, when the little leader of a clipper boat took a fancy to the charming and touching flying snow. So he had evil thoughts and wanted to kill Ji Huang and snatch Feixue back to be the lady of the village.
No one thought that Feixue seemed to be weak, but she would not be soft at all when she killed. That little boss was killed by Ji Huang and Feixue in full view of everyone. Originally, they thought that they would usher in the crazy revenge of Qingfeng Village, but they didn't expect another clipper ship to sail over, and a burly man on the boat pointed to Ji Huang, who was on guard all his body, and said without refusing: "From today on, you are the third master of Qingfeng Village." ”
It turned out that the big boss who established Qingfeng Village once set a rule, in addition to the big boss, from the second boss down, any big and small boss position is resided by capable people. That is, in order to maintain the ferocious nature of the bandits, they encourage cannibalism.
If you don't have real skills, even if you are the second leader of Qingfeng Village, you will be overturned by the brothers below at any time. It is said that the shortest-lived second master in the history of Qingfeng Village was to plot against his predecessor with his accomplices. After the big boss just announced that he had become the new second leader, the companion who had cooperated with him before immediately turned around and pierced his heart with a sword, and smoothly made him his predecessor again.
Ji Huang had nowhere to go, and he didn't know the rules of Qingfeng Village, so he just felt that it was quite fresh to be a water bandit. And as soon as he came, he was a majestic three-master, so he readily agreed.
Who knew that after he really boarded the base camp of Qingfeng Village, he knew that this three-master was not easy to do. It's just that Ji Huang has never been afraid of anyone. Even if he has amnesia, he is as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a wolf.
After several open and secret battles, these bandits were governed obediently, and they also won the favor of the big bosses, so they handed over this operation to him to be responsible.
Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue listened to Ji Huang's narration quietly, although he said it lightly, they listened to it thrillingly. This experience is put on anyone. I'm afraid I can't survive it, but only Ji Huang. Not only did he come back to life, but he also mixed like a fish in water in the dangerous water bandits' den, which was delicious.
Speaking of this, Ji Huang took out a portrait from his body, put it on the table, and said to the two people in front of him: "This transaction is connected with the big boss alone, I don't know who it is." When the big boss explained the matter, he only gave me this portrait as a clue to find the fat sheep. ”
