Chapter 79: The Prisoner
There was a noise outside the door, and another person came out of the door and said to this gang of bandits: "Don't misunderstand, you came here to the God of Wealth, how can we take the God of Wealth and push it out." However, there are no large rooms in the small name, and you came late, and now there are only two rooms inside and outside, can you stay there?"
The bandit leader replied, "Since there is no other room, we will stay there." ”
The shopkeeper instructed the man to open the door and call for a vehicle to enter the store. Zhang Xi saw that the door of the store was closed, so he walked in from the back of the store and rose to the roof. I saw that the bandits were surrounding the car, carrying two long pockets from the car and carrying them into the two guest rooms on the east side.
The shopkeepers looked a little stunned, and the bandit leader said to the shopkeeper: "Don't look strange, we are on errands, these are two errands, you talk less and don't meddle in things." ”
The shopkeepers saw that this group of people were all short clothes with blades, either soldiers or bandits, and they were not kind businessmen anyway. I had to do my best to serve perfunctorily, and the bandits entered the guest room, and the shopkeeper was busy making tea with freshly boiled water.
Zhang Xi is a relative to the topography of this store, it is not a big store, there are only a dozen rooms in total, and there are six rooms in a row of east rooms. The bandits lived in two rooms near the north head, which were short and had no rear windows, which made it quite difficult to investigate. Zhang Xi packed up his body on the roof and waited until he went to the store to put all the wine and rice on the table, and drank it all around the table outside.
Zhang Xi turned over and landed in the courtyard, tiptoed to the window, the paper window had already been broken with many holes, no need to bother, when looking inside, I saw that there were only furnished tables and chairs in this room, there was no bed, the Eight Immortals Table had been moved to the ground, and only five of the seven bandits were sitting around the Eight Immortals Table and drinking. The old bandit leader sat in front of him, only slightly touching his wine glass to his lips, and the other bandits were all drinking to the bottom of the glass.
Zhang Xi came to the window of the inner room, and when he peeked inside, he saw a wooden kang in the door, and two people were half-lying and half-sitting against the wall on the wooden kang.
The candles in the room were dim, and the faces of the people on the shop could not be distinguished, and the limbs of the two were all tied with ropes, vaguely a man and a woman, describing them as haggard. Two bandits were carrying knives and watching in front of the wooden kang, and the two prisoners seemed to have just woken up and were depressed.
A tall bandit shouted in a rough voice: "Hey, if you want to eat, drink, and move around, you can talk before it's too late, we don't wait for noon." When you meet the hands of the masters, this is a blessing for you. As long as you are honest, there will be no trouble for you. ”
Li Chengfeng raised his head and rolled his eyelids and said, "If you want to clean up the young master, give the young master a good time as soon as possible." To humiliate us in this way is the act of a puppet, and we will not be disrespectful. ”
The young bandit said fiercely: "You are in the hands of the masters, and it is not up to you to live or die." Okay, you don't know whose light you have, you have to shout like this again, don't say that I can give you a good blow. ”
As he was talking, the old bandit leader walked in from outside and said to the two bandits, "Don't make any noise. Then he said to the two captives: "You are also a famous family, you can't be unreasonable, you have a debtor who has been wronged, we are ordered to handle it, and we dare not do otherwise." As long as you don't want to do anything else, we don't want to deliberately embarrass you. You are willful, and you don't want to escape, so why bother to be bored. Speaking of this, he said to the two bandits beside him: "Bring some food and tell them to eat something." ”
The high-figure bandit turned around and went out, and in a moment brought in a plate of dumplings, a plate of salted eggs, and two bowls of water from outside, and put them on the board. The leader of the bandits ordered his subordinates to untie all the hands of the two men, and comforted them with kind words, telling them to eat and drink with them.
Li Chengfeng laughed and said: "You don't dare to start so quickly, this is a self-relict trouble, and we will not show mercy if we get it!"
Zhang Xi listened to them outside the window, obviously trying to deliberately provoke the bandits, but the bandits didn't mind, and greeted the two henchmen: "You guys take advantage of this time to eat, don't drink too much wine, I'll watch them." ”
The two bandits replied in unison: "Lord Qi Helm, you have eaten, let's take the place of the guard." ”
The bandit leader shook his head and said, "We don't have those rules on the passenger journey, so it's important to go and have dinner quickly, and then replace the ticket guard." The two bandits went out immediately.
Zhang Xikong stayed outside for a long time, but still didn't hear some results. And I didn't even see the faces of the two very clearly, so I couldn't help but be secretly anxious. Secretly try the upper and lower window sashes, the upper half is all alive and can be opened and closed. However, although he saw that there were places where he could go in and out, there were only many bandits, and he did not dare to act rashly.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the corner of the main house, and Zhang Xi hurriedly turned around and jumped to the southeast corner of the store door, hiding in the dark shadow. When I looked at it again, it was the shopkeeper who brought another pot of boiling water into the east wing. The work was not big, the shopkeeper came out, Zhang Xirong walked away, and he was about to run to the window again, when he suddenly heard a slight sound on the top of the aisle, and when he looked at it, a black shadow suddenly appeared. After a slight pause, the black shadow jumped up to the west room like a fly, and looked down without stopping. Then I saw this black shadow shrug down, fluttering down in the courtyard, and the figure spread, and when I arrived at the door of the house where the bandit lived, I took a look and broke into the house.
Zhang Xi didn't delay any longer, and then jumped to the door, and when he looked in through the door, he saw that the bandit who had just entered, about thirty years old, had a treacherous face, and a fierce and violent atmosphere appeared between his eyebrows. Dressed in a blue night suit, with a folding iron knife on his back and a deerskin bag on his waist, he was talking to the bandits in the house.
Seeing that the bandits did not seem to know anything about the people who came, they all pressed their blades, but the people who came said: "Brothers, I came by the order of Bai Qiye, and I received the transfer of the main helm of the West Road, saying that the master of Qi Rudder brought the brothers to escort two people, how did you ......?"
Speaking of this, the bandit leader in the house lifted the curtain and looked at it, and then walked out of the room and said: "It turned out to be Fourth Brother Shi, we haven't seen each other for several years, Fourth Brother, you are very proud of the White Helm Master, right?"
As they spoke, they sat down with each other, and the man said, "Helmsman, we are not general acquaintances, so don't be polite. Tonight I rushed to meet us, because our white helmsman received the transfer of the chief rudder, and found that the enemy had gathered with his fellow people and wanted to fight with us, so he had followed and chased down, and told us that the white rudder master crossed the border to meet us, so as not to have an accident. I am the front station, and the white helmsman has selected twenty other disciples of his own sect to cross the border to greet him. ”
Zhang Xi saw that the bandits were receiving people outside, but there were no bandits guarding them inside. The time was no longer there, so I hurried to the window in the back room and peeked through the window. I saw that the man was holding a bowl of water and drinking, and the woman was bowing her head to wipe away her tears.
