15: Robbery
Cheng Li and Xie Xiaoqing were dressed in robes, and they followed the group of koi darts far away, riding horses and walking forward in the rain. After walking for about half an hour, the rain not only did not stop, but only became heavier and heavier.
Cheng Li doesn't care. With his physical fitness, he has experienced hurricanes and waves in the sea before, and he can still be safe and sound. A mere rainstorm is really nothing. Originally, I was a little worried about Xie Xiaoqing, but when I looked back, I saw that she was only getting more and more energetic, where was the delicate appearance that couldn't withstand the wind and rain?
On the contrary, walking ahead of them, there were already people in the team of the Koi Dart Game who couldn't stand it anymore. Faintly, I heard someone in the dart team cursing.
"Riding a horse! It's raining so hard for no reason, is God crazy? No, we have to find a place to hide from the rain. ”
Li Weixin, the chief dart head known as the "Longmen Three Stacked Waves", said in a deep voice: "There are only ten miles left from Hangzhou City. Let's work harder, let's take a look first. When we got to the city, I invited everyone to go to the green building for a drink. ”
Someone else shouted, "No, the dart." With such heavy rain, we can barely see the road clearly. I don't know how long it will take to reach Hangzhou City. Besides, if it rains like this, even if we can survive, the livestock will have to get sick. Let's find a place to shelter from the rain. ”
This sentence obviously won the hearts of everyone, and everyone now claimed to be so. Mr. Li saw that everyone was like this, and it was not good to insist on going his own way. He asked, "So, where is there a place around here to take shelter from the rain?"
Someone shouted, "I still know the way here." A little further forward is Zhoujiazhuang. Mrs. Zhou is a well-known kind person in the vicinity, and has always been hospitable. Let's go to the shelter from the rain, and he will definitely agree. ”
Mr. Li nodded and agreed to the suggestion. Immediately led by the dart master who knew the way, the dart team turned around, left the main road, and headed northwest.
The rain was rumbling and the sound was earth-shattering. But it is precisely because of this that everyone in the dart game is talking, tearing their throats and shouting as hard as they can. Therefore, Cheng Li and Xie Xiaoqing heard the conversation of everyone in the dart game very clearly. The two smiled at each other, and also turned their horses' heads, followed behind the dart team, and headed towards Zhoujiazhuang.
It didn't take long to walk, and sure enough, a village appeared in front of me. There is a large manor in the village, and there is a plaque hanging on the gate, which is "Zhoujiazhuang".
The darts team came forward and knocked on the door. Soon after the door, a manservant came out, and when he heard that everyone was asking for shelter from the rain, the manservant did not enter the room to report it, and immediately opened the door to let the dart team in.
Cheng Li and Xie Xiaoqing also went over to ask to enter the village, and the manservant also agreed. Cheng Li was still a little strange, why did this servant agree so crisply, he didn't even need to tell the master of the house?
Dismount and enter the door, walk through the courtyard, and enter the flower hall. It turned out that a large fire had been lit in the flower hall. Next to the fire, in addition to the people in the koi dart bureau, there were also several men dressed as military attachés, plus several villagers, all around the fire to roast the fire. It looks like they all came to take shelter from the rain.
Cheng Li and Xie Xiaoqing, although they had already met with everyone in the Koi Dart Bureau. But it was in the midst of heavy rain, and the rain curtain was like a curtain, covering the sky. Therefore, for the appearance of Cheng Li and Xie Xiaoqing, everyone in the dart game is also vague and can't see it really.
At this time, the two of them walked in, and in the firelight, it was clear, showing the true face of Lushan. Everyone in the flower hall was stunned. I saw that the men were like jade trees in the wind, and the women were bright and shining, just like golden boys and girls. Those farmers and dart masters are fine. Those military attachés saw that their eyes were about to fall off. His eyes were glued to Cheng Li and Xie Xiaoqing, and he was reluctant to leave.
Xie Xiaoqing took off his coat, took the initiative to walk over to the fire, and whispered two words of thanks to Mr. Li. Mr. Li was slightly surprised on his face, as if he didn't expect that the pair of golden boys and girls in front of him were actually the two people he gave him the clothes just now. He waved his hand to show "you're welcome." shouted at the dart team again.
One man stood in the middle of the group. Although she was wearing men's clothes, it was obvious that she was also a woman. Although her appearance is inferior to Xie Xiaoqing, she is also a rare beauty. She seems to be about a year or two older than Xie Xiaoqing, and the outline between her eyebrows faintly looks like Mr. Li's dart. It should be the daughter of Mr. Li's darthead.
The girl opened her bag wrapped in oiled paper and took out a clean garment. stepped forward and grabbed Xie Xiaoqing's arm and said a few words to her. Then leave the flower hall with her, and go to the back to find another place to change clothes.
Those military attachés, looking at the backs of Xie Xiaoqing and the girl, couldn't help but emit a strange light in their eyes. Apparently, they are secretly imagining what the two beautiful girls will look like when they take off their wet clothes and change into clean clothes.
One of the military attachés with two mustaches on his lips was even more impatient, picked up a waist knife from the ground, put it on his body, and walked over to Cheng Li.
Seeing this, the two companions beside him shouted in unison: "Hey, Lao He, don't mess around." But the military attache Lao He turned a deaf ear, walked to Cheng Li's side, lifted his waist knife, and patted Cheng Li on the shoulder. Laughing, "Hey, kid. Where are you from? Do you have any guides?"
Before the words fell, the waist knife suddenly broke off with a scabbard of "Ping Pong~". A few fragments flew up, impartially, and happened to pass across the face of the military attache Lao He, and a few fine blood marks were drawn when they landed. Lao He Dengshi was taken aback, "Oh Oo ~ " took a few steps back one after another, and subconsciously shouted: "Good guy, you dare to attack the imperial court officials?"
Cheng Li sat there to roast the fire, as if this military attache was a transparent person. The "Jizo Tribulation" is secretly poised to attack. As long as this Lao He dares to mess around again, the next time it will be broken, it will not be the waist knife, but the bones on Lao He's body.
The "Jizo Tribulation" was launched, and there was absolutely no trace. No matter how keen your eyes are, you won't be able to see any clues. But the other military attachés and bystanders were clear, and they saw that Cheng Li didn't move his hands or feet, just sat quietly, and he was about to break off, which was too evil. The two were afraid that Lao He would cause trouble, so they hurriedly came over and grabbed him, so that they could talk about it, so they pulled him back.
Cheng Li showed such a hand, which can be described as amazing. Not only did those military attachés dare not cause trouble anymore, but even everyone in the dart game was also sideways. It's just that everyone looked left and right, and they couldn't understand why the waist knife just now was broken? Is it the hand of this handsome young man?
"Longmen Three Stacked Waves" Li Weixin has walked the rivers and lakes for decades, and has experienced all kinds of strange things and all kinds of people. Seeing that this young man was eccentric, he couldn't help but secretly be a little wary. But if you want to say how afraid you will be, that's not necessarily it. Just whispered to restrain all the dart masters and executioners under his command, and don't provoke Cheng Li casually.
For a moment, the flower hall fell silent, and no one spoke anymore. It's just that there is a beep and peeling sound when the firewood is burning, and it still rings constantly.
After a while, Xie Xiaoqing changed her clothes and came back with the girl. Mr. Li hurriedly called his daughter back. Don't let her have more contact with Xie Xiaoqing.
Xie Xiaoqing was slightly surprised. But his eyes just rolled into the flower hall, and he already understood what had happened. She pursed her lips and smiled, walked back to Cheng Li's side and sat down. Then he took out a wine gourd and drank it with Cheng Li. There was no one around.
After a while, the gourd wine was drunk. Xie Xiaoqing reversed the gourd and turned it upside down, looking like it was indeed gone. Just as he was about to speak. Suddenly, only outside the manor, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard faintly in the heavy rain.
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder, even drowning out the rumbling rain. Everyone sitting in the flower hall felt that the ground trembled slightly, as if it was an earthquake. There should have been at least thirty or forty horses.
The large group of men and horses rushed to the front of the village and stopped abruptly. But after hearing a few whistles, seven or eight horses went around to the back of the village.
As soon as Mr. Li heard the whistle, his face immediately changed color, and he whispered a few words to the people around him. The darts jumped up one after another. Two dart heads and five executioners directed the coachmen to form a heap of the carts. Mr. Li's daughter was full of excitement, pulled out the lancet and slashed twice, looking eager to try.
Cheng Li and Xie Xiaoqing sat next to each other and glanced at each other. Xie Xiaoqing's face was pale, and he said in a low voice: "How about the little brother, I'm right?"
Cheng Li said: "Listening to this momentum, most of them are robbers and darts. However, you are counting that Mr. Li's dart head has a bloody disaster. There may not be any blood in this dart. ”
Xie Xiaoqing pursed his lips and said, "Then let's see." It depends on whether Li Weixin can hold on. If we really can't hold on, it's not too late for us to take action. Well, I'll forget it, let's let the Black Demon Divine Monarch take action. ”
Cheng Liqi said: "Why do you want me?"
Xie Xiaoqing said confidently: "Because Li Weixin's daughter is very beautiful." Hee-hee, little brother, I've inquired. Her name is Li Mingxia, she is only eighteen this year, and she has not yet been married. If you save their family, this girl will not fall in love with you with all her heart? ”
"You're beautiful. Cheng Li couldn't help it. Raising his hand, a chestnut knocked on Xie Xiaoqing's head, and said angrily: "You are so young, where do you come from so much nonsense?"
"At a young age...... Is it?"
Although Xie Xiaoqing was still smiling, for some reason, in the depths of her eyes, there was a trace of nostalgia and loneliness. She sighed softly and stopped mentioning Mr. Li's daughter. Turning the subject, he said, "Strange." How can this group of friends on the road come to the road without stepping on the plate first? Or they don't understand the rules. Or they don't care about the rules at all. Either way, it's not easy to mess with. I see, Mr. Li's dart head is really in danger this time. ”
The voice fell, and suddenly only a "呯~" sound was heard. The gate of the manor was forcibly slammed open. Eighteen black-clothed men held single knives in their hands, lined up in two rows. looked at the people in the hall and said nothing.
Immediately afterwards, I saw four people swaggering and walking into the manor side by side. Swaggered through the courtyard, stepped into the flower hall, and took off their clothes.
Cheng Li swept his eyes and saw that the leader was a thin old man with a goatee, and beside him was a short man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks. There was a majestic and high-spirited man next to him, but he was wearing colorful and colorful clothes. The last one had a narrow face and a grim gaze, like a dog that could not bark but only bite.
The appearance and dress of these four people are very weird. Mr. Li's heart sank, and he knew that there was * trouble. On the surface, he remained silent, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Li Weixin in the next koi dart game." May I ask a few friends with their surnames, what are you doing?"
The thin old man with a goatee opened his mouth and smiled: "You are Li Weixin? My surname is Yang, his surname is Hou, this surname is Ji, and this surname is Gou. We are the four brothers of Jinlan Yuyi.
As for our intentions...... Haha~ Ming people don't say dark words, they are here to rob! Mr. Li, the red goods you have taken the dart this time, hand them over obediently. After all, no matter how valuable things are, they are always not as good as life. ”
