Chapter 3: Hunt and Kill
The three of them galloped for three or four hours without knowing the direction, and finally slowed down. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Shi Buyi said with a smile: "It's a good fight, it's like getting drunk." In front of him, the breeze was coming, the sky was just red, the dew seeped into the clothes, there was a slight chill, unknown insects were singing beside him, the scholar suddenly felt extremely relaxed, and sighed: "It's really dangerous." Shi Buyi looked at the scholar approvingly and said, "What kind of thing is the little brother scattering, which is worthy of thousands of troops." The scholar smiled lightly and said: "That's just a tear-jerking thing, people can't see it when they touch their eyes, they keep shedding tears, and they will disperse when they encounter water. Shi Buyi laughed, "Haha, wonderful, really wonderful!"
Shi Buyi looked around and said, "The Tianyi Gang has a wide range of forces in the Central Plains and the south, so we have to go north." The three of them galloped north again. Near noon, I arrived at a store. The three of them turned over and dismounted, preparing some food. Shi Buyi impatiently handed the wine jug to the shopkeeper and said, "Hurry up and fill me with wine, but there will be no rice for three days, and you can't go without wine for a day." ”
The three of them sat down, and the store was busy for a while, serving a plate of beef and a plate of steamed buns. Shi Buyi hurriedly poured a sip of old wine, which was spicy and spicy, and the gluttony made Hu Fengyang and the scholar laugh out loud. The scholar picked up a steamed bun and was about to enter it, when his open mouth suddenly stopped and shouted: "Wait, don't enter first." Then he took the plate to his nose, sniffed it, and said, "It's not good, it's poisonous." ”
The three of them were alert and saw that the shopkeeper was hiding in the room to observe them, and immediately understood that the shopkeeper had poisoned them. After interrogation, it turned out that the Tianyi gang had issued a hunt and kill order overnight, and anyone who met the three of them must report to the branch hall, and those who took the head could get a reward of 5,000 taels of silver.
Shi Buyi sighed: "The local businesses, large and small, are all connected to the Tianyi Gang, and the wide range of personnel is really shocking. ”
The scholar went into the back room and picked up some good dry food and carried it on his back. The three of them set off to the north again, and Shi Buyi said to Hu Fengyang: "This is the territory of the five lakes and ten factions under the Tianyi Gang, and the fish and dragons are mixed. After half a salary, in the open field on the side, Shi Buyi saw that there were some messy horseshoe prints on the ground, presumably there were people and horses gathered before, so he reminded the two people in front of him in a low voice: "Everyone be careful." As soon as the words fell, Hu Fengyang and the scholar suddenly felt that their bodies sank, it turned out that the ground had been hollowed out, and the horse screamed and fell straight into the pit, the pit was dug deep and big, this time it was caught off guard, the pit was full of sharp spears, fortunately, there were horses down first, buffered, Hu Fengyang turned around, dragged the scholar, and jumped up on the horse's head. Shi Buyi pulled the reins urgently, the horses were frightened, and they stumbled and still fell into the pit, and Shi Buyi saw this and jumped high. At this time, I don't know when there were twenty or thirty people on the side, each bow and arrow, Hu Fengyang just jumped out of the pit, dozens of arrows have been fired in volley, Hu Fengyang kicked away a few arrows with his feet, his body shrank, and he rolled to the edge of the pit with the scholar, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest hesitation, grabbed the Ruokai stone in his hand, and shot around. Shi Buyi shook off the flask and got out of the rain of arrows. Seeing that the sneak attack was unsuccessful, the other party immediately scattered and fled. Shi Buyi scolded "A group of rats, smeared with oil on the soles of their feet, running so fast!"
Shi Buyi opened the gourd, poured a sip of wine, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled. "It seems that the main roads on land and water are the eyeliner of the Tianyi Gang, and it is inevitable that we will have to fight and kill again, so let's avoid it first. Shi Bujian said.
"The gang just now deliberately cut off our horses, even if the sneak attack fails, they can interrupt our march and delay time, and I think the men and horses behind will soon catch up. The scholar said.
"The little brother has opened his mind, and when he enters the rivers and lakes, it is as deep as the sea. Shi Buyi joked, turned to Hu Fengyang, and said: "Although my brother has strong martial arts and is invincible, he is invincible with two fists, and he can't beat you with four hands. ”
"By the way, Brother Hu, you don't have to blame yourself, Gang Master Huo didn't kill you" The scholar suddenly remembered and said hurriedly.
Hu Fengyang and Shi Bujian were stunned. "Let's talk on the road," Shi Buyi said, and the three of them immediately hid into the woods.
"I want to start with my background," the scholar said.
Time back to 16 years ago, when the scholar was still a four-year-old baby, living in a village far away from the noisy state capital, the village road is not forgotten, the night is not closed, a harmonious and peaceful scene. His father went to the mountains to hunt, and his mother weaved cloth and ploughed the fields. One day, a team of people came to the village, with the banner of Tianyi, holding a sword in their hands, escorting several carts of belongings. In the evening, they went from house to house collecting game and food, and when they arrived at the scholar's house, they took away the rabbit pheasant that the scholar's father had just killed, and the scholar snuggled up in his mother's arms in terror. Before leaving, the leader stared at the scholar's mother a few times, and his eyes leaked a trace of evil light. This leader is Huo Qinghong, the leader of the Tianyi Gang, and they fought in the village that night until the third watch. Subsequently, Huo Qinghong broke into the scholar's house with the strength of wine, wanting to **** his mother, and the scholar's father and mother resisted. The scholar will never forget that scene, his father hugged Huo Qinghong with brute force, and was slapped on the Tianling cover by his palm, and blood spurted out of his mouth. The mother was originally protecting the scholar, but in a hurry, she threw the scholar out of the window. Outside the window was a slope, the grass was slippery, and the scholar rolled all the way and then fell unconscious.
The scholar breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This time, I came here to avenge my parents." But before I could do it, someone else did it. ”
Shi Buyi looked at Hu Fengyang. Hu Fengyang was also stunned, I don't know why.
The scholar hurriedly said: "Although Brother Hu helped me injure Huo Qinghong first, I didn't mean Brother Hu, there were other people." So the scholar told what had happened that night.
Shi Bugai said with a smile: "This old man Huo is also innocent, I am thinking that Huo Qinghong's strength will not be like this." He turned back to the scholar and said, "It is also very dangerous for you to act rashly this time. Huo Qinghong's retirement this time actually has his considerations, first, he can retire successfully and keep the evening, and second, he can leave the position to his children who have not yet done anything to exercise, and then secretly get rid of some disobedient hall masters and helmsmen to pave the way for his son. I think if Huo Qinghong hadn't died violently this time, the Tianyi gang would have to fight openly and secretly in the future. ”
Hu Fengyang couldn't help but admire it in his heart when he heard what Shi Buyi said. I didn't expect that I was focused on martial arts, but I didn't know that I had so many scheming. I was also a little relieved that Huo Qinghong did not die at her own hands, but I was also a little annoyed in my heart, I was originally concentrating on my cultivation and no one disturbed me, but now I seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest and was worried about the progress of my practice.
The scholar thought to himself: No wonder the master has never let me go out of the mountains, the rivers and lakes are really deep.
The three of them walked to an open place, it was already dark, and they repaired a little. The scholar gathered some firewood and lit the fire.
At night, a small crescent moon appears on the horizon, and the wind blows off some fallen leaves, rustling. Hu Fengyang looked up at the sky, as if thoughtful. At this time, Shi Bujian also walked over and looked at the sky.
Hu Fengyang hesitated, and said to Shi Bu: "The changes in the past two days have been too sudden, and my brother has a sentence, I don't know whether to ask or not." ”
Shi Buyi handed the wine jug in his hand to Hu Fengyang and said, "Brother Hu, if you have something to ask." ”
Hu Fengyang poured two sips of wine in a row, and said slowly: "In the past two days, my eldest brother has been born and died with me for no reason, I don't know if there are any requirements. ”
Shi Buyi took the wine jug, raised his head and laughed, and said: "Brother Hu, originally I only wanted to be drunk and dream of death in this life, and I had nothing else to ask for, besides, I should be happy to walk the rivers and lakes, I only want to kill happily, and I should be happy when I die, and I shouldn't have any purpose." However, this time to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes, there is indeed a lot of hardship. Shi Buyi sighed and continued: "It's all my two younger brothers who don't learn and don't know how to do it, two months later, it will be the Evil Eradication Conference, and it will be up to me whether he is dead or alive." ”
"What is the ...... of the Evil Eradication Conference?" asked Hu Fengyang.
"The beggar gang has been very powerful in recent years, but they have done a lot of good things, and several people with relatively stinky names on the rivers and lakes, and those who have done bad things have been targeted. My second brother Shi does not regret his good fortune, and he does everything he can to rob, steal, and cheat; the third brother Shi does not quit lustful, and as long as he gets into his eyes, he wants to spoil it, and the famous flower thief has been arrested and is ready to be dealt with at the anti-evil meeting to boost the prestige of the righteous people. As a brother, I have to save them, but the beggar gang is full of talents, and all martial arts are proficient, and the helper Yuan Shoucheng has the ability to take care of the family, and the ability to descend the dragon and fight the dog stick is criss-crossed. My martial arts cultivation is limited, and I am worried until I see Brother Hu's martial arts in Tianyigang, and I want to ask my brother to help me. My two immature younger brothers were also innocent of death, even from the same mother's womb, and they couldn't see death without help. ”
"I see," Hu Fengyang said, "how can I help?" ”
"When the brother arrives, he only needs to restrain the beggar gang leader surnamed Yuan, and I will arrange the rest, thank you brother first, my two younger brothers are saved. Shi Bujian said, looking very happy.
"I can't hide it, I also have something to ask for. Hu Fengyang said.
Shi Buzheng said: "My brother's business is my Shi's business, you can tell me." ”
Hu Fengyang said: "I came from the Western Regions, in the Central Plains for three years, the knife method, the sword method, the palm method, the stick method have been comprehended, but there is a set of internal strength of the mind, has not been able to understand, must be studied every month, from the new moon to the moon must start to practice every night, no one can disturb, once someone disturbs the heart will be chaotic, at least it will go mad, or kill on the spot." Today happens to be the first day of the new moonrise, and in the evening, if a group of people come, I hope you can help me block it and keep my mind from cultivating. ”
Shi Bujian said: "Brother, don't worry, do your best." ”
At this time, the scholar had already lit the fire, and the three of them gathered around the fire and ate some dry food.
