Chapter 33: A Dumb Man
"There are many powerful people now, and there are not all 180 guards who come out at random, and to put it bluntly, they are all majestic and capable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Whatever, wait for this wave of people to go in, close the door and sleep with your daughter-in-law in your arms."
There was no one on the street, and the riders did not slow down, but went directly inside, and the two soldiers who were choking on the dust they brought with them coughed constantly, and only when they were far away, did the two soldiers scold and scold and close the door and leave.
Outside the inn door, the noisy sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and then, a huge knock came in, and all the noisy people woke up, and there were grumpy people who opened the window to scold, and when they saw the people below, they carefully closed the window.
The innkeeper opened the door.
Outside the door, all black cloaks, like ghosts emerging in the night, stood silently in the darkness. Their heads were also covered, revealing only a pair of glowing pupils.
In front of the innkeeper, it was Zhong Xiaobai.
The innkeeper was so frightened that he didn't feel sleepy at all, and some ugly smiles squeezed out of his stiff face, even if he didn't change the wind and rain for most of his life, he stammered a little at this time: "Everyone, guest officers, are you eating or staying in the hotel?"
"Stay in the hotel and leave tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, the innkeeper nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly invited the crowd to go inside.
Zhong Xiaobai instructed the boss to make a thousand dry cakes overnight, the boss was busy beckoning the guys to process them in the middle of the night, and the whole room was tossed all night, noisy and sleepless guests all night and dared to be angry, and they all guessed the origin of this group of people, most of them guessed that they should be soldiers.
The innkeeper was both happy and afraid of the arrival of the crowd riders, and was glad that so many people came to stay in the hotel, and he would definitely be able to make a good profit; I'm afraid that these people are not good at it, and if they don't pay for the store, they will lose a lot.
However, their hard work was not in vain, and the next day they got a large sum of money, which made the boss smile happily, and apologized to the other guests while being happy.
Before dawn the horsemen set out, and the gates were not yet opened.
The city defender has seen this kind of formation, and the leader must be a big man, so he must not be lazy. In a hurry, he went down and opened the city gate, and respectfully sent the crowd out of the city.
After Wuyang City, go down along the avenue, cross the Taihang Mountain, is today's North China Plain.
The crowd rode early, and walked in a hurry.
The weather was not good, the panic was stuffy, the rapid thunder rumbled in the air at some point, and the air was filled with noisy and invisible dust, mixed with the wind, blowing in the face.
Under the cold gray clouds, the indifferent wind shuttled violently, and the cold clouds trembled and rained, and it was the first rain of spring after the winter was gone.
Fortunately, he had prepared well before going out, and the superb riding man immediately opened his coat and draped his body, took off his hat and tied his head around his neck.
The wind chased the rain, the rain chased the wind, the dark clouds seemed to collapse, and the heavy rain became heavier and heavier, piercing into the eyes of men and horses along the air current, and they could not see things. Walking forward in the dark is undoubtedly panicking, which Pei Yun did not expect. The fierce wind was blocking, and the speed of the riders became slower and slower, and they were finally forced to stop.
In the distance, there is a temple.
The temple has a front yard and no backyard, not big or small, the idol inside is wooden, poured half of it, and it is impossible to see where the offering is sacred. There was only one fire in the temple...... There are many people, but they are three completely different types of people.
Gathered around the fire were nine sturdy men, all long and vicious, with long broad-backed knives under them, taking off their shirts and baking on the fire, whispering something between them, and looking at the two people on the left with malicious eyes.
The two are a young couple, they look like they should be newly married, the husband is handsome, the scholar is dressed, the wife is beautiful, and they are still dressed by a peasant girl, but they are a rare couple. Their clothes were soaked, and even though they snuggled up to each other, the cold humidity and cold air still made them shiver with cold.
You're going to get sick if you go on like this.
Xu felt sorry for his wife's body, and the husband plucked up his courage and walked to the fire under the woman's worried gaze.
Just listening to what the scholar said, one of the fierce men said in a loud voice: "Okay, let your lady take off her clothes and bring them." As he spoke, a pair of eyes stared at the woman unscrupulously.
When the woman heard this, she was ashamed and angry, and wanted the scholar to come back to avoid humiliation, but she could not speak, so she could only be impatient.
When the scholar over there heard the blasphemous words of the fierce man, how could he hold back and resist loudly. Discussion, let the fierce man apologize.
The fierce man who had just spoken laughed strangely and stood up, his tall and broad body in stark contrast to the thin scholar.
The scholar's eyes showed fear, but thinking about the woman behind him, he still stubbornly met his gaze.
"Boy, you're stupid to read sage books."
"You are not allowed to insult ......"
"Smack!"
The fierce man slapped the scholar violently, knocking the scholar to the ground, the five finger prints on his face were clearly visible, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
The woman was frightened, hurriedly ran over to help the scholar, tears rolled down her eyes, touched the corner of the scholar's mouth and felt distressed, kowtowed to the fierce man, and couldn't speak, and looked at the two people on the other side, her eyes were full of pleading.
The two officials were dressed as people from the government of the nearby county, but seeing that they would rather endure the pain of wet clothes than dare to get to the fire to roast the fire, they knew that these nine were not bad people, at least they couldn't afford to provoke them. When they saw the woman's gaze, they all pretended not to see and turned their heads.
"Hmph, it's a mute." The fierce man sneered, twisted his head to his companion, and the companion got up consciously, and the two of them pulled the scholar away and forcibly restrained him from moving, and the two of them set up the woman respectively, and the others stood behind the fierce man, with lewd eyes in their eyes. The evil gaze looked the woman up and down.
The woman's eyes showed a look of horror, fear rose in her heart, and she broke free from the restraints uneasily, but in the hands of these men, her struggle was so powerless, but it made the front more convex, so tempting.
The fierce man took a step forward, his rough fingers gently lifted the woman's round chin, looked up and down, and said with stains in his mouth: "It's good-looking, but I don't know if it's enough for our brother to enjoy." After speaking, he laughed with all the brothers.
"You bastards!" The scholar tried his best to break free and scold, but he was greeted by a merciless slap, the corners of his mouth were cracked, and his whole face was swollen.
The fierce man said gloomily: "Little lady, you see that your clothes are soaked, and if you don't take them off, you will get sick." As he spoke, he tore the woman's clothes hard, revealing the plain belly pocket inside, and the lewdness in his eyes. The more the light grows, the brute force will tear off the woman's clothes.
The scholar closed his eyes in despair.
"Ho-la-"
The door suddenly opened, and the bitter cold wind took the opportunity to sneak in, and the flames were whirring around, and the people inside shrugged their shoulders and shrunk their backs.
The fierce man was about to turn his head and scold, but when he saw the person at the door, he swallowed the dirty words in his mouth, and everyone looked over in shock.
Click!
A bright bolt of lightning swept by, turning the people standing neatly in the doorway into black statues, and under the soaked hats, there were cold faces, like wolves that suddenly appeared in the rainy night, looking for the breath of flesh and blood.
The wind was howling, and the cold scabbard loomed between the swaying of the robes, which made everyone's hearts feel uneasy and panicked.
The woman and the scholar took the opportunity to shake off the fierce man, ran to the wall and hugged each other tightly, looking at the fierce man and the visitor in horror.
The clothes suddenly separated into two rows, and a person came in from them. The young face, the emotionless gaze glanced at the temple, and the fierce man standing on the spot trembled violently, and at that moment, he had a feeling of being stared at by death, which made him tremble.
Pei Yun took off the hat, patted the rain on it, looked up at the little couple and the servant curled up in the corner, and then looked at the small fire in the middle of his eyes.
There was no place for the horses in the temple, so I had to grieve them in the rain, believing that their resistance would not be bad.
Thirty-seven people poured into the temple, which was not crowded, but relatively spacious.
There was a large amount of dry firewood and grass in the temple, and some guards had already gone over to take off the clothes of the nine people and throw them to the nine people, because they had already dried up. He also took dry firewood and threw it into the fire, and the fire soon became strong, and the whole temple was warm and uncomfortable.
