Chapter 111: The Little Bandit Became Rebellious
Mo Xingyao wrapped the big cloak on his body tightly, and a cold wind blew in from the cave, blowing on the dirt he had just vomited on, he couldn't help but vomit, got off the bamboo bed, and sat on the bamboo bed It's okay, as soon as he walked down, he only felt that his buttocks were cold, his legs were clamped, and he frowned and said to Du Ruo, "I seem to be going to have diarrhea, what should I do, is there a toilet here?"
Du Ruo saw Mo Xingyao's appearance of holding his legs, patted his brain, it seems that this child is not lightly affected by the wind and cold, and has begun to show symptoms of vomiting and leaking, how can there be a toilet in this cave, and it is not like the county mansion where he lives, he can only pinch his nose, point to the corner of the cave and say to Mo Xingyao, "You are here for convenience!" ”
Mo Xingyao looked at the corner, Du Li was standing there eating stinky dry food, seeing Mo Xingyao like that, Du Li hurriedly jumped away with his feet, Mo Xingyao didn't care about anything now, quickly took off his scarf, the sound immediately crackled like a fart, and an even more foul smell also came.
Du Li can't eat it now, he lost the dry food, walked to the door of the cave, breathed in the fresh air, this kid, what did he eat, this is too stinky, Du Ruo was still sitting next to him pinching his nose, but the surroundings were like smoke, straight into his whole mouth, he really couldn't bear it, he walked to the door of the cave, just let go of his pinched nose, smelled the smell, he also retched.
Mo Xingyao finished pulling his stomach, felt a little better, just got up and got dressed, no, here again, he changed his position and squatted down and began to pull up, this time, Du Li and Du Ruo saw that Mo Xingyao began to pull up again, and walked out of the cave one after another, waiting for Mo Xingyao, after a while, Du Ruo probed to the door of the cave, and saw that Mo Xingyao got up, so he walked in, as soon as he walked into the cave, he was almost not smoked away, Du Li kept shouting softly outside, "Du Da is in charge, I won't go in anyway, If you want to watch him inside, watch him inside, and I won't go in. ”
Du Ruo originally wanted to cover those torn clothes, but the key cover was not good, he could only pull Mo Xingyao and walk out of the cave, this cave was completely stunned, Mo Xingyao walked out of the cave and looked outside, this is the halfway point of a big mountain, he looked around carefully, and saw that there were also mountains one after another next to it, because this is the back of Bai Qingshan, just facing Bai Qi Mountain, the Lingyin Temple on the top of Bai Qi Mountain, the bell came one after another, and Mo Xingyao saw in a daze that many people climbed to the top of the mountain and walked into the temple.
"Big boss, what should we do now, this Zhang Hua and Zhang Cai are damned, why haven't they come back yet, big boss, should they not be arrested by officers and soldiers, it's been so long!" Du Li opened his eyes and looked at Du Ruo who was standing there, he didn't seem flustered and anxious at all, Du Ruo turned to Du Li and said, "What are you afraid of, I haven't been a bandit for half a year, I see that your courage is getting smaller and smaller, if you catch it, you can catch it, what else, the two of them will catch us and then go to get the reward silver, and you can save thirty taels of silver, right." ”
Du Li heard Du Ruo say this, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and now the big boss is afraid that he has lost his mind, this tone, it seems that he is not afraid of being arrested, so he stopped talking, and sat down, looking at the Lingyin Temple opposite in a daze, or wait a while.
Zhang Hua and Zhang Cai, the two stupid bandits, are brothers, since the death of Daddy and Auntie, they have become orphans, there is nowhere to go, they came to the Du family gang, but they didn't come long after the court began to suppress bandits, so the two of them did not do it for a month to be bandits, they said that they were bandits, that is, they burned food and did dirty work in the bandits' den, so it is very possible for them to escape, after all, the two of them have not had blood on their hands, and they have not died.
It is said that Zhang Hua and Zhang Cai went out of the cave, and the two of them began to go down the mountain, Zhang Cai held the emerald green step shake in his hand, and looked at it for a long time, Zhang Hua saw that Zhang Cai had been staring at that step, and he also had some thoughts shaken, "Brother, or we will sell this step, it will be worth a lot of silver taels if it is sold, and we have never killed anyone, so we have been working in the Du family gang for a month. If we are caught by the officers and soldiers, then we have only one way to die! ”
Zhang Hua choked up as he spoke, he was still young, only fifteen years old, the big boss said that he would take him and his brother to join General Li, he was still very happy, he always felt that it was a hero who could lead the troops to fight, and he was excited in his heart, but he didn't expect that the big boss would not go again, and he tied up a child, he didn't want to be dragged into the water.
"Little brother, you don't know what kind of person Du Da is in charge, he is ruthless, he hasn't done anything, he hasn't killed anyone, if you know that the two of us betrayed him, then chase us to the ends of the earth, and you have to kill us, this horizontal and vertical are all death, what can I do? Maybe Du Da's words are right, and he really gave us a little bit of the silver, and Du Da also said, we helped him do his job well, and if he took the silver, he would no longer follow him, and after this incident was completed, we must stay away from those two bandits, they can't change their essence. ”
Zhang Cai and Zhang Hua walked down the mountain, then stopped talking, arrived at Yunjin City, was about to go to the hawker who sold carrier pigeons, Zhang Hua saw a pawn shop, and looked at his brother's hand step shake, he hit Zhang Cai with his elbow, stared at the pawn shop with his eyes, Zhang Cai took the step shake, some hesitation, was hesitating, Zhang Hua had already pulled him in, Zhang Cai could only hand the step shake to the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter, the shopkeeper looked at these two strange people, wearing tattered clothes, the face was black, It doesn't look like a child from a rich family, so it's hard to see if this step is stolen.
He looked at the step shake, it is indeed a rare good thing, but thinking that if this is stolen goods, wait for the master to find him will be in trouble, last time there was a thief who stole the jewelry of a lady from a big family to sell, he saw that the jewelry was really good, and received the jewelry with a fluke mentality, but once he was bumped into by the little lady, he had to call the big family to come back to the jewelry, and reported to the official, the officers and soldiers saw that the little lady was chattering and had a headache, so he asked him to return the loss to the lady, yes, stealing chickens and rice, he not only did not earn jewelry, but also put the money upside down and went out.
"Is this your own jewelry? If you pick it up, I won't accept it from this pawn shop, and when the master comes over, I can't tell if I have a mouth. The pawnshop owner asked Zhang Hua and Zhang Cai again, Zhang Cai had an idea, and said, "The day before yesterday, my aunt was seriously ill, and before she died, she gave my brother two pieces of jewelry, my aunt used to work as a maid in a big family, and the big family did not take silver taels to settle the monthly money, so he rewarded a lady with this step, you know, the little lady of the big family, these jewelry are more, Ah Niang handed us before she died, saying that we sold it when we encountered difficulties, and we didn't find a job for several days, and we were really hungry, so I wanted to pawn it first. ”
Zhang Hua heard Zhang Cai's casual coming, and hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes like acting, "My dead aunt has saved this step shake in this life, brother, do you really want to pawn?" This is the last and only relic that A-Niang left us. ”
"Little brother, that can't be helped, we have to fill our stomachs." Zhang Cai also pretended to choke and said, they really scared the pawn shop boss when they came and went, the pawn shop owner looked at the two children and looked fifteen or seventeen, looking at their pitiful appearance, thinking that he should not lie to him, so he said, "Okay, I'll take a good look at this step shake, do you see if you sell it one hand, or is the pawn here?"
"Shopkeeper, what's the difference between selling it with one hand and pawning it, which one has more silver?" Zhang Cai has never entered the pawn shop, naturally he is not clear about the doorway, he and Zhang Hua did lose their father and mother at a young age, and the family is also surrounded by four walls, where do you know these things, the pawn shop owner took out a magnifying glass, looked at this step carefully, and said while looking carefully, "If you sell one hand, it will cost ten taels more than the silver of the pawn, and you can't redeem it if you sell itBut when you redeem it, you can give me a little money for safekeeping. ”
Zhang Hua and Zhang Cai nodded, and now they finally know what kind of place this pawnshop is, Zhang Cai saw that there were more people on the street, and there were officers and soldiers patrolling, so he hurriedly said, "Let's sell it, shopkeeper, look at how much this is worth, we may not be in this Yunjin City in the future." ”
The shopkeeper carefully rubbed this step shake, although this step shake looked inconspicuous, but the ruby inlaid on the step shake was imported from the Western Regions, generally not connoisseurs really can't see it, this is a first-class goods, it is estimated that the little lady of the big family can not see this insider's goods, do not know the goods, just casually rewarded the two children's Auntie, did not expect it to be a very precious object, he stretched out a hand, compared Zhang Hua and Zhang Cai, Zhang Hua looked at Zhang Cai with wide eyes, Zhang Cai smiled at the pawnshop shopkeeper, said, " Our brothers will discuss it first, you can wait for us a little! ”
Saying that, Zhang Cai pulled Zhang Hua aside and whispered to Zhang Hua, "It's only five taels of silver, do you want to sell it?" Zhang Hua thought that if he worked hard for Du Da's family, he could earn fifteen taels of silver, and he and his brother had twenty taels of silver, but he really didn't want to get involved in this matter, this matter of tying up a child, although the child may not be okay in the end, but according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, this is also a felony, and it can also be sentenced to death, he thought about it and said to Zhang Cai, "Brother, then we should sell it, sell us so that we can run away early." ”
