It was nearly dusk, and a team of mules and horses made their way through the rugged path. The manager, Lai Er, looked at the sky, and looked around again. There were mountains on all sides, and the sound of horses neighing faintly in the valley. Lai Er heard that the voice was not good, and he was only afraid that there were ghosts on the mountain road in front of him.

A small guy in front was driving the mules and horses forward, and Lai Er sat on the mule cart behind him and asked, "San'er, what is the name of this road?" I don't remember this trail when I went. ”

The little maid named San'er replied: "Steward Lai, you are right. This mountain, called Hutou Mountain, when we went to take the main road, when we came back, greedy to take the small road. Hutou Mountain and Double Snake Mountain are connected, and only half of the mountainside is separated in the middle. Crossing from this road to that road, it is the Twin Snake Mountain. ”

Lai Er nodded, no longer squeaking. He thought, Lang Lang Qiankun, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there must be no thieves and bandits on this road. Although he thought so, he still only muttered in his heart, where did the horse bark come from just now? Or is there a businessman who also has a road on the opposite side of the Double Snake Mountain?

After thinking about it for a while, and seeing that there was no movement around him, the stone in his heart gradually put down. He said to San'er and a few guards: "There are no shops and no houses here, let's go back early, arrive in Beijing one day early, and we will unload this burden early." At that time, Qiao Dongjia will not be stingy with silver. ”

Those dart masters were a little tired from walking, and they hadn't eaten for a day, so they were already angry, and said angrily: "No matter how you hurry, you have to eat a full stomach, right?" If you can't eat enough, how can you have the strength to hurry? ”

Lai Er was about to say two more words of encouragement, when he heard a whistle and a group of horses flew down from the mountainside. Be the first man. He is about forty years old and has a burly build. The eyes are as big as an ox. Lai Erxindao is really not good, he met a robber. He stared at the dart masters. They were hired by Lai Erhua for a lot of money. There is good wine and meat along the way, and you can count on them at this time. These dart masters also looked like each other at first, and the firewood head headed by him stepped up with a knife and rode a mule under his crotch, and asked, "Where did you come from, this man?" I'm the No. 1 dart master in Jiangning, I'm super strong in martial arts, go down with a knife, be careful of your head. acquaintances. Hurry up and walk for you, I will spare your life. ”

The man at the head laughed, only laughing so much that Chai Tou'er felt weak and his legs cramped. Chai Tou'er mustered up the courage to shout: "What did Chai Ye ask you about? What are you laughing at? Is there a kind of express coming to tens of thousands? ”

The man said: "My Wan'er, you can listen well, the master is Xie Wu, the owner of this Hutou Mountain." As he spoke, a knife came over, and Chai Tou'er's knife immediately fell to the ground. When Chai Tou'er pretended to pick up the knife, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for the good master!" ”

Xie Wu roared: "Don't embarrass the robbers on the road, get out of the way!" Go home and farm, or watch your head! ”

Chai Touer was originally a pretending dart master. I don't have any effort, but my kung fu is quite powerful. To put it bluntly, he came to cheat and cheat money, but unfortunately Lai Er didn't know this, and said that he was really strong in martial arts. At this time, I met the real owner. He's a fake dart master who can show his original form, pat his ass and run away without a trace. The thugs of his men have run away, and they are still here waiting to die. also ran away with a smoke. For a while, only Lai Er and Xiao San'er were left in this batch of mule carts.

Xie Wu laughed. Slowly approach. At this time, Lai Er knew that the goods were difficult to insure. With him and San'er, dealing with these dozens of men is a steady matter. Wealth can go, life can't go, thinking, Lai Er hugged his fists and said: "Lai Er has asked Xie Zhai Lord to say goodbye." ”

Xie Wu smiled: "I see that you still know each other." ”

Lai Er said: "Since Lai Er can meet Lord Xie Zhai here, it is also the fate of Lai Er and Lord Xie Zhai, how much money can a mere property be worth?" I will give it to you to buy tea and drink. No, this mule cart is tea, so I should give you tea to drink. ”

Xie Wu rode over, stabbed the car with a knife, and asked, "Accept your affection, what kind of tea is on this car?" ”

Lai Er replied: "Master of the village, this car is a good Biluochun." If you want to drink it, take it. Just ask the owner of the village to let me and San'er go home. ”

Xie Wu said: "We also have rules on the road, as long as we have property, we will not hurt people's lives. If you leave the goods and leave, whoever dares to stop you, I, Xie Wu, will be the first to ask for his life. ”

Lai Er hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, but he got up but didn't mean to leave. Xie Wu asked, "You don't want to die, why don't you run for your life?" ”

Lai Er said embarrassedly: "Lai Er still has a reluctant request, I am afraid that the owner of the village will not agree, so it is difficult to speak." ”

Xie Wu said, "You talk about it first. ”

Lai Er took out a urinal from under the mule cart he was sitting on. Everyone just thought it was a baby, and when they saw him touch out a urinal, they dodged it and laughed: "This old man is probably crazy, people who walk can't pee anywhere, and he also carries a urinal, which doesn't stink." ”

Lai Er hugged the urinal and said: "Master of the village, this is the urinal left by my grandfather, how can it be regarded as a family heirloom." It's not worth a lot of money on the market, you let me take this urinal. ”

The minions behind Xie Wu coaxed one after another: "Hurry up and take it, take it away quickly, what kind of treasure is it?" ”

Lai Er hurriedly thanked him, hugged the urinal and glanced at San'er, and turned around to run away. Xie Wu frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly shouted, "You come back for me!" ”

Lai Er's feelings had changed, and he couldn't get out of it, so he had to turn around and come back, and said with a smile: "What else is the matter with the grandfather of the village owner?" ”

Xie Wu jumped off his horse and snatched the urinal from his arms. Na Lai Er dragged it to death, and in the end he didn't rob the owner of the village. Xie Wu snatched the urinal, but he didn't like the smell of the urinal, and smashed it on the ground.

All the minions didn't know what the village master meant, and they looked at the sect leader directly, not knowing what he was doing. The urinal broke, and a bag of oilcloth came out of it. Xie Wu smiled, picked up the oilcloth bag, uncovered it layer by layer, and a pair of golden phoenix hairpins appeared in front of everyone.

Lai Er hurriedly begged: "Master of the village, this phoenix hairpin was originally the ancestral treasure of my master. My lord sent me back to my house just to get this pair of phoenix hairpins. Tea and silver, the grandfather of the owner of the village just took it, and only begged the grandfather to give this phoenix hairpin to the small one. ”

Lai Er was so angry that he kicked Lai Er and scolded: "I kindly let you go, you dare to lie to me!" I don't think you want this life anymore. ”

Lai Er still knelt on the ground and begged him. Seeing that Xie Wu was annoyed and ashamed, he had to break the rules of the road and kill him. San'er was still clever, stepped forward to help Lai Er and said, "Manager Lai, things are dead, but people are alive." Let's go back to the master and think of a way, why waste our lives here. ”

Lai Er is right to think about it, it's useless to beg here, it's better to go back to the master and think of a way.

Lai Er was about to go back with San'er, when a group of people flew down from the opposite mountain, all of whom were also riding horses and running over murderously. This group of people was the first man in his thirties, lean and capable, wearing a short suit, and asked Lai Erdao: "This is your goods?" ”

Lai Er didn't know how to answer. If this thing is said to be his, it is his, and if it is not his, it is not his. In the midst of embarrassment, Xie Wu clenched his fists and said to the thin man: "It turns out that the owner of the village has arrived, I'm sorry, this batch of goods has already been famous, and the owner of the village is invited to go back to the mountain to rest." ”

The master of Duan Zhai ignored Xie Wu, and still asked Lai Erdao: "I asked you, but this goods are yours?" ”

Lai Er nodded and said yes before.

The lord of Duan Zhai snorted and said: "When you arrive on my ground, the goods are naturally mine, how can you honor others?" ”

Xie Wu was not happy, and also snorted: "What did Lord Duan Zhai say?" Is he on my ground? Beyond that hill is the ground of the Twin Snake Mountain. ”

The owner of that section of the village was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and pointed to the mule cart in front and said: "The mule cart in the back is on your ground, but the mule cart in front has reached the ground of my Shuangsnake Mountain." ”

It turned out that there were as many as five or six mule carts in this batch of mule carts, with tea leaves on them, and some new gadgets, all of which were new things that the Beijing master did not have. The first three cars of the mule cart arrived at the interface of Shuangsnake Mountain, but the last three cars were at the interface of Hutou Mountain, so the owners of the two villages quarreled endlessly. In this situation, Lai Er didn't dare to stay here for a long time, and pulled San'er to prepare to leave quietly. I didn't want to be seen by the owner of that section of the village, so I whipped over with a horsewhip, only rolled San'er over and threw it in front of his horse: "If you want to run, it's not so easy." If you want to go, make it clear before you go. ”

San'er fainted, Lai Er hurriedly ran over and knelt on the ground again, his eyes only looking at Xie Wu. I think he said before that as long as he left his belongings, he could spare their lives, and this was the time to fulfill his promise.

Xie Wu raised his head and just looked at the sky, ignoring Lai Er's staring. Helpless, Lai Er had no choice but to pray to the master of Duan Zhai: "Master of the village, the small one only leaves the goods, do you look at it?" ”

The owner of Duan Zhai said angrily: "Why should you let him share your goods? ”

Lai Er had no choice but to say again: "Then the first three cars are for the master of Duan Zhai, and the last three cars are for the master of Xie Zhai, do you think it is good?" ”

The two of them said in unison that it was not good. Lai Er had no choice, he knelt on the ground for a long time and didn't dare to speak. The two teams confronted each other for a long time, and in the end, it was Xie Wu who first compromised and said: "I said Duan Zhai Master, what do you say, we are also neighbors." As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. I don't know if the officers and soldiers will come one day, and they will all point to their neighbors to put out the fire. In this way, since the master of Duan Zhai has spoken, we will meet and divide half. The first three cars were given to the owner of the village, and the last three cars were given to my brothers, so I went back to the mountain, and I couldn't even have no money for tea, the owner of the village said yes? ”

Duan Zhai Master thought that there was no better way, if the fight started, both armies would have casualties, and only this method would be considered a compromise. However, after thinking about it, he also took a pair of phoenix hairpins, and he had to take another carload of goods to say anything. After bargaining, they finally agreed that the owner of Duan Zhai would unload three and a half trucks of goods, and the remaining two and a half cars would return to the owner of the village. As for Lai Er'er and San'er, it's still the rule of the road, if you want money, don't die, let them go. (To be continued......)
