Chapter 2 Picking up Letters
It is said that Song Xiaofu said goodbye to Yang Shou and was about to take rice home. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the dark model on the street, except for a few lights, nothing can be seen clearly, from time to time there are dogs barking.
He has always been bold, but at this time, he felt his heart beat faster for no reason, and the demons and monsters in "Journey to the West" kept shaking in front of him, as if he would jump out of the darkness at any time. Suddenly, he stumbled under his feet, and he almost fell in his thoughts.
"What's going to scare people to death?" His heart jumped, and he emboldened himself with a loud voice, without the slightest sound, secretly laughed at his timidity, scolded in a low voice, and was about to leave again. Suddenly there was a slight groan on the ground. Song Xiaofu's heart raised suddenly, turned around and ran, just took a step, and heard a groan again, now he heard it clearly, and asked boldly: "Who?" β
No one should be.
He called out again, but no one answered.
He thought about it for a moment and carefully groped for it, touching something sticky and wet, and a stream of blood hit his nostrils. He didn't know what it was, his heart was beating tighter and tighter, and he just wanted to run away. There was another groan on the ground, and he said vaguely, "Arrived...... Gate Street. "No more movement.
Song Xiaofu now knew that he had met an injured person, and he was not a demon or a monster, so he was no longer afraid, and said, "Are you going to Damen Street?" "Go and help the man, the man was limp, he didn't feel anything, and his hand touched the man's shoulder, and the wound hurt and the man's whole body trembled. Song Xiaofu saw that he was not lightly injured, and if he didn't rescue him at the right time, he was afraid that his life would be in danger. Although he is young, he is usually familiar with the story of "Journey to the West", and when he was young, he often fantasized about being able to act chivalrous and righteous like Sun Wukong. It took a great deal of effort to put the man on his back.
The night was as dark as ink, and it was difficult to distinguish between east and west, north and south, but fortunately, he often played around in the city, knew Damen Street, and carried the man to Damen Street with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Song Xiaofu was young and small, he didn't have much strength, he was carrying an adult on his back, and it felt like he was pressing a mountain on his back, and he didn't go far, so he was out of breath. Putting down the man, he leaned against the corner of a house and gasped, and just walked and stopped, and he didn't know how many streets he had crossed, he was sweating profusely, but the person on his back was getting colder and colder. When I finally arrived at Damen Street, I had another problem in front of me: I don't know where to send it?
Seeing that the man was bleeding profusely and his life was in danger, he was about to shout for help.
Suddenly, the lights of a house in front of me lit up, and I thought to myself, there are still people who haven't slept, so I just asked. He put the man down and came to the door of the house, and was about to knock at the door, when a voice came from inside.
I only heard a voice say: "Your Excellency entered his house in the middle of the night, what do you want?" Someone responded: "The old man is here to find Dong Chengcheng, where is he?" β
Several people were shocked, and the voice just now said: "Your Excellency seems to be joking, the elder is here, and I will not know the rudder of Zhejiang Road Hangzhou." The man sneered: "Dong Chengcheng, you are also a figure with a head and a face in the rivers and lakes, why did a friend come to visit and become a turtle with a shrunken head?" β
As soon as these words came out, the people inside were furious, and the person from the Tianlong Gang said: "In Xia Bai Rutang, he will be the first son of the Tianlong Gang, and no one will be allowed to insult the elders." Since Your Excellency opened your mouth to curse, you must be a person who is in the way, and you also asked for the name of the high surname. "The Tianlong Gang is full of talents, although Bai Rutang is just a rudder master, not an ordinary person, that person insults the elders of the gang, he is extremely angry, but he also guesses that it will not happen for no reason, so he is still reasonable, and he is not arrogant or humble.
The man said, "Just because you are not qualified to know the old man's name." Bai Rutang, don't be ignorant, hand over Dong Chengcheng! β
Bai Rutang said: "It seems that Your Excellency is really looking for something." If you have the courage to do this, then why not report your name? "This man is aggressive, and disputes are inevitable today. He is a cautious man who does not fight people without knowing the situation. The man was so anxious that he didn't say much to him, and suddenly he made a move. I heard someone fall to the ground with an "ahhh
Bai Rutang hurriedly shouted, "Brothers, retreat quickly!" He took a breath: "Your Excellency is the owner of the Blue Blood Mountain Villa?" β
The man said: "You have good eyesight, there is no salvation in the palm of the cold ice, hand over Dong Chengyi, the old man doesn't want to kill more people today." Bai Rutang would never have thought that the most notorious big devil in the underworld today would patronize his small rudder, and he didn't have good intentions, his voice trembled slightly, and said: "The seniors are still γγγγγ masters, and the juniors are nobodies fighting against you, and they are undoubtedly mantis arms blocking the car." But the Tianlong Gang will never be greedy for life and afraid of death. Since he has come to the door, the juniors have nothing to say, but the rivers and lakes are fair, and the Hong gang leader will find the scene for Hangzhou. "Since he knows the origin of the other party, he doesn't take chances, he just wants not to fall into the prestige of the Tianlong Gang. He made a look, and one of the disciples understood, and slowly moved towards the door.
The man laughed and said, "Good! Good! β
Song Xiaofu only heard a "bang", and a figure broke out of the house and hit a big hole in the roof. The figure waved his hand, and another figure burst out of the darkness, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Once again, Song Xiaofu was dumbfounded.
Bai Rutang looked up at the hole in the roof, knowing that tonight's events were by no means ordinary, and said, "What happened to Xiao Gaozi?" One of them whispered, "Heγγγγγ Bai Rutang said: "Bury him well." He is a good brother to us, but now is not the time to be sad. Gather all the brothers at once and find out what is going on. "Du Sheng is a master in the world, and he will never come out of nowhere, and there must be a reason.
The man standing at the door opened the door and came out, but saw a little boy standing at the door, stunned, and asked, "Who are you kid, what are you doing here in the dark?" Song Xiaofu said: "I sent a person, he shed a lot of blood, you can save him....." Although the Tianlong Gang is not recognized by the court, it is the duty of saving lives and helping the wounded, and when he heard that someone was bleeding and injured, Bai Rutang hurriedly came out and asked, "Where is it?" β
Song Xiaofu said: "In front." β
The two followed him and carried one back.
When Bai Rutang saw that person, he was shocked: "Elder Dong! You...... How did it hurt like this? But seeing that Dong Chengcheng's face was green and cold, and the flesh and blood on his right shoulder were blurred, he was miserable, and he had been in a coma for a long time. Gritted his teeth and said: "What a ruthless heart, who made the poison?" By the time he turned back to the little boy, he was gone.
When he saw through the light that the person he saved was the old beggar he gave a handful of rice in the evening, Song Xiaofu slipped away. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, he had seen this old beggar's miraculous martial arts, and now he was injured again, all of this was too unusual. He didn't know what was going on, but his intuition told him that he must not get involved in this, and he thought of the two figures just now, who was the "owner of Du Zhuang"? Could it be the person I met at Uncle Yang's doorstep? Is there another one who is the young man? He was a little scared and excited when he heard about today's experience, after all, he was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and he didn't know the seriousness behind the matter.
He walked to the place where he found Dong Chengcheng just now, and couldn't help but stop, he found something slightly yellow on the ground, picked it up and saw that it was a letter. He knew what the letter was, but he hadn't seen it, and his curiosity led to see what it was written, but he couldn't see it in the dark. He shoved the letter into his bosom and went home in the dark.
Back home, it was almost dawn. When his son returned at the end of the night, Song Ci lay on the bed and slept steadily, got up early to cook, and was surprised to see that most of his son's clothes were stained with blood, and hurriedly asked the reason.
Song Xiaofu told him about saving people on the road, but he was afraid that his mother would worry, so he didn't say anything else. Song Ci's peasant family has never seen this hurtful thing in the middle of the night, loves his son, and tells him not to play too late next time. Song Xiaofu should be closed, he felt that the matter had passed, and he was not at ease.
He slept at the end of the night, did not wake up until noon, went to the latrine, and when he stood up and pulled the belt of his trousers, something floated from his bosom. Song Xiaofu sighed, stretched out his hand and didn't grab it, and watched a letter fall into the pit. He screamed in his heart and looked down, but he could only faintly see the word Tong Guan, and as for the content, he would never know. He thought, Tong Guan? Who is Tong Guan? I hope it's not important.
After lunch, he remembered that the rice that the abbot of Mengjue ordered to buy had not been brought back, and he also felt that last night's incident was afraid that it was related to the Yang family, and wanted to go to see Yang Jineng by the way. told his mother that Song Ci was a little worried, but his son and Yang Jineng were good friends, so he should go over to greet him, so he asked him to go early and return early. Watching his son leave, but he felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart, Song Ci couldn't do needlework, so he took incense paper to Qingyin Temple to pray for his son.
Song Xiaofu came to the city, but saw that the city was full of officers and soldiers, and martial law was everywhere. When I asked, I found out that there was a big thief in the Zhizhou Yamen last night. Therefore, early in the morning, officers and soldiers patrolled the whole city, searched everywhere, and made a lot of noise in the city. Song Xiaofu thought to himself, this is a coincidence, everything comes together.
He came to Yang's house, only Yang Jineng was at home, the two played for a while, and saw that Yang Jineng didn't mention what happened last night, and knew that nothing happened last night, so he didn't ask, because Yang Jineng was going to the school, so he left.
After leaving Yang's Mansion, he somehow wanted to go to Damen Street to have a look, and when he came to Damen Street, he saw that the officers and soldiers were inspecting one after another, surrounding Damen Street, Song Xiaofu didn't dare to go over, so he stopped on the opposite street and looked at it.
Suddenly, there was a commotion inside, and someone shouted: "Ouch, bold thief, resist arrest and hurt people." β
"Rebellion!"
"The thief has run away, chase after him, watch out for his gun."
I saw a man carrying a man on his back, holding an iron gun and rushing out of it, the iron spear was flying, the wind was whistling, and all the officers and soldiers did not dare to approach, shouting, waving their sabers indiscriminately, and pretending. That man was delicate, and although there were many officers and soldiers, he could not help him. He rushed to the corner of the street in a few strokes and disappeared in an instant.
Song Xiaofu's mind boomed, because he saw that the thief was Bai Rutang, and the person he was carrying was Dong Chengcheng, no wonder he was so seriously injured last night, it turned out that he went to Zhizhou Yamen to steal things, I was really stupid, I was tired half to death, but I helped the bad guys.
Bai Rutang carried Dong Chengcheng on his back and still flew fast, passing through the streets and alleys, and quickly shook off the pursuit of the officers and soldiers.
Dong Cheng said: "The old man was arrested by the officers and soldiers, and he will not die for a while. But that letter is absolutely important, and it is related to the Great Song Dynasty! "He was really injured last night, one hand was crippled, and what was even more terrifying was that he was also hit by Du Sheng's poisonous palm. Originally, with his martial arts cultivation, as long as he was not directly hit by Du Sheng's palms, he could resist it, but at that time, he was caught between the two masters, although it was only a few moves of lightning, he had tried his best, and he finally escaped, and his life was gone. Bai Rutang gave him several Wangyang tonics, but it still didn't work, at this moment he was as cold as ice, his true qi couldn't run, and he was afraid that his life would not last long, but he still didn't forget the trust of the master, and the only trace of sobriety in his heart was all on the letter.
Bai Rutang didn't stop at his feet and said, "But the subordinates can't ignore the elders." "Momentarily hesitant. Dong Cheng said repeatedly: "The old man is desperately injured, so that it is the letter, do you understand?" β
Although Bai Rutang knew that the situation was serious, he wanted him to abandon Dong Cheng and ignore it, and he couldn't do it anyway, and he was thinking about a plan to do both. Suddenly he stood still, he knew that he couldn't do anything, because he saw Du Sheng, who was standing on the street laughing.
Last night, after letting Dong Chengcheng take the letter and get out, Yang Renhai took Du Sheng to Damen Street, the rudder of the Tianlong Gang in Hangzhou, but did not find Dong Chengcheng. They didn't know that Dong Cheng had come out of the woods, so he fainted in the street due to his injuries. The moon was dark and the wind was high, and they were fast and urgent, so they didn't notice it when they passed by Dong Chengcheng. Of course, if Song Xiaofu hadn't kicked Dong Chengcheng, he wouldn't have found out.
Because Yang Renhai is a local and has another identity, it is inconvenient for him to come forward. Du Sheng asked Bai Rutang for someone, he searched various rooms in the dark, and knew that Dong Zhengcheng was really not on Damen Street, so he had to ask Du Sheng to leave. They came and went in a hurry, and they didn't find Song Xiaofu and Dong Chengcheng who were at the door.
Du Sheng was extremely depraved and said, "Half of his life has gone, can he really go to heaven and earth?" Yang Renhai said: "Brother Du doesn't have to be anxious, the old man said that even if he can really go to heaven and earth, the old man can find him out." You are a guest from afar, and everything is covered by the old man. Let's go, let's go to Zhizhou Yamen. β
Du Sheng almost jumped up: "Could it be the main official of the Yang Gang?" Yang Renhai said: "Brother Du, rest assured, Luo Zhizhou is a hall master in the gang, although he doesn't know martial arts, he is a Jinshi and has a good literary style." Just let him find an excuse to turn Hangzhou City upside down, can Dong Cheng still come out? Du Sheng said: "It turns out that the Yang gang leader is confident, and he made Brother Yang smile just now." "It's a pity that they changed direction, they couldn't take a few more steps forward, and maybe they could find the secret letter that Dong Cheng had lost on the ground.
Everything was as Yang Renhai expected, and Dong Chengcheng was found soon after.
Du Sheng smiled and said: "Dong Chengcheng, things have come to this point, and there is no need for the old man to say more." The old man has always admired the elders, and today he is not martial, and the old man is not glorious, but this is helpless, and I hope the elders will understand. β
Dong Chengcheng said calmly: "What's the joy of life? Why be afraid of death? At least the old man has a clear conscience. Du Sheng, you are also a dignified Song Zimin, are you worthy of your brother like this? Can you have a good conscience? β
Du Sheng's face sank, but his heart was as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake, and he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "You talk too much, damn it!" β
Bai Rutang immediately retreated, but could he get rid of the other party if he retreated? In the face of such a strong opponent, he had no other way but to retreat and just do a useless struggle. Soon he could not retreat, for there was a young man sneering behind him. He knew that there was no escape today, and said, "Du Sheng, don't you just want that secret letter?" β
Du Sheng nodded and said: "You are more cheerful than Dong Chengcheng, you can rest assured, as long as you hand over the secret letter, the old man will not embarrass you, the old man is good at what he says." β
Bai Rutang said: "Do you think the secret letter will be hidden on us?" β
Du Sheng's eyes shot coldly at Bai Rutang, looking straight at his heart.
Bai Rutang was sweating on his forehead, but he couldn't be timid, the secret letter was Du Sheng's weakness, and it was also his life-saving straw, if he wanted to live in front of him, he had to die with his will!
Du Sheng said: "You don't want to give up on the Yellow River, what do you want to say?" He believed that in front of him, a little person would not dare to play tricks.
Bai Rutang said: "I can give you a secret letter, but Elder Dong is seriously injured, please ask Master Du Zhuang to give medicine to save him." Du Sheng said: "You are quite bold, you know?" No one has talked about the conditions in front of the old man yet, and you will not be the first person. Bai Rutang's heart was beating like a drum, but he said strongly: "I think it's worth exchanging a life for a secret letter." β
Du Sheng laughed: "It's really worth it." The old man can give him an antidote, where do you hide the secret letter? Bai Rutang said: "I will take you there." I hope you keep your word. I didn't want to give Dong Cheng to the young man behind him, Lin Feiyang, and wanted to explain a few words.
Du Shengji was impatient and said: "Dong Chengcheng can't die, so let Hong Fei have the ability to come over and save people by himself." Hurry up and bring the secret letter, or the old man will change his mind. Bai Rutang glanced at Dong Cheng Cheng and said, "Elder Dong, the incompetence of his subordinates has humiliated the elder. He knew that Du Sheng said this, Dong Chengcheng's life was saved for the time being, and there was only so much he could do.
Dong Cheng said: "The old man is a lot of old people, and these can still be seen. It's just that the old man has received a little favor from the end of his life, but he didn't expect to be helped by others when he first arrived in Hangzhou, hoping that the white helmsman would meet the child one day and thank him on behalf of the old man. Seeing that Bai Rutang was in danger, he must have a plan, maybe there was a way to escape, so the search for the secret letter would all fall on him. Although I don't know where the letter was lost, the only clue in front of me is the little boy, so I hint at Bai Rutang.
Bai Rutang didn't understand what he said, and said, "My subordinates understand, Elder Dong take care." β
