Chapter 108: The uneven distribution of spoils leads to infighting
Mo Xingyao thought, if his father finds this Yun family tomorrow and sees his mother's hairpin, if he asks about that Mr. Yun, he should catch up with him faster, his mother must be very anxious in the general's mansion now, he thinks that his father must have come out to look for him, thinking that he has also caused his father to run around so much, he now regrets escaping from the general's mansion, these four people are so vicious, whether he can save this little life is still unknown.
Du Ruo and a few of them walked all the way, towards Bai Qingshan, this path leads to the back of Bai Qingshan, there are no officers and soldiers guarding, several of them struggled to climb up, there happened to be a small cave on the hillside, Du Ruo and a few of them took advantage of the moonlight, drilled in, originally thought it was just a small hole, but I didn't expect to get in, but there was a small path inside.
A few of them lowered their bodies and pushed Mo Xingyao to the path, there was a cave in this path, it was very spacious, the four bandits saw this scene, clapped their hands and shouted, it was God to help them, who dug the cave in the end, there was a pile of torches in it, could it be that it was also a cave where the bandits lived.
A few of them like a treasure, Du Li took out the fire fold on his body, rubbed it a few times, lit the torch on the ground, the torch was lit, and the cave was very bright at once, they looked around carefully, there was a simple bamboo bed inside, and a few old clothes that were worn, and there were some dry food sprinkled on the ground, looking inside the cave, there seemed to be some traces of fighting, they guessed that it should be the officers and soldiers who captured the bandits, and there was no burial here at once, this happened to be their hiding place.
"Oh, child, give you a bun to eat, you can't starve to death, it's still of great use to keep you!" Du Ruo threw a steamed bun to Mo Xingyao, and threw a water bag over, Mo Xingyao caught the steamed bun and the water bag, tired after a day, plus panicked, his stomach was already hungry, Mo Xingyao didn't care about Sven and ate it in a big gulp, while eating, he looked at the four bandits sitting around the fire, and his ears were pricked up to listen to them.
"Big brother, what should we do now? This kid doesn't know which mansion the child is, and how much silver taels it is worth, so we have to ask him carefully, so we can go to the mansion to inform him and get the honorarium! Du Li looked at Mo Xingyao, Mo Xingyao saw that the bandits turned their heads, and quickly lowered their heads and pretended to drink water, Mo Xingyao heard the words of the bandits, and his head quickly turned to think, when the bandits asked him, how should he answer?
But I must not say that I am the child of General Mo Lin, if he is the child of the general, if these four bandits are scared and kill him and flee for his life, then he is not worth it, these four bandits seem to just want to get some reward, then he can only say to the junior official, whose child should he say.
By the way, he can say that he is the child of the county magistrate, and the last time the county magistrate brought the child to visit his father, he secretly saw that the child, who was as tall as him and of the same age, could pretend to be the child of the county magistrate, but what should he be called? Forget it, just take a random name, just call it Qiu Dove, Qiu Dove, Qiu Dove, I hope the county order can understand it.
Du Ruo turned his head to look at Mo Xingyao, who was chewing the bun in his mouth, hurriedly walked over, squatted beside him, and pretended to be kind and said, "Child, what's your name, where do you live?" If you tell us the truth word by word, if your daddy gives you a reward tomorrow, I will let you go! ”
Mo Xingyao pretended to be well-behaved and nodded, and said to Du Ruo, "You can talk to me, my father took the reward and you let me go, you can't lie to me!" Du Ruo nodded hurriedly and said, "I swear to God, if your father sends the reward money, I will send you home immediately." ”
"Well, my name is Qiu Jiu, when my mother gave birth to me, I saw a dove on a big tree, just occupied the magpie's nest, so I was given a dove character, my father is the county commander of the famous Chang'an City, is the highest official, my family lives on Chang'an Street, I don't know where it is!" Mo Xingyao pretended to raise his head proudly and said, Du Ruo saw this, nodded with satisfaction again and again, the county order of Chang'an City, today's reward must be a hundred taels, it is really a valuable child, he hurriedly said, "Then you drink more water, tomorrow I will ask Du Li to buy you something delicious, what do you want to eat!" ”
"I want to go home, I miss the food my mother cooked for me, can you send me home tomorrow!" Mo Xingyao lowered his head, pretending to be pitiful and looked at Du Ruo, Du Ruo saw that this child didn't look so clever, but quite honest and well-behaved, so he relaxed his vigilance a little, they often tied up children, some children were very clever, and they escaped from under their noses accidentally, and some cried and struggled hard, they were annoyed, so they simply made a ruthless move.
"Okay, as long as you are obedient, your father and mother only need to send the reward tomorrow, and we will release you tomorrow!" Du Ruo smiled and said to Mo Xingyao, he looked at Mo Xingyao now, just like looking at the silver of the white flowers, and said that he sat down by the fire again, and discussed with Du Li and a few of them there how to spend the reward, Du Li rubbed his hands and put his hands close to the fire to keep warm, he looked at the bright flames, and said, "When the county order sends someone to send the silver, I have to go out and have a good time, Yihong Courtyard has not been there for a long time, and the old bustard is worried about me." ”
"Look at your color, this reward has not arrived, you are floating, this Yihong Courtyard is not a good place, you go in and your pockets are full, and you come out and you are a poor ghost, it is better to buy a small house with money, take a yellow flower girl, and live a good life." Du Ruo smiled, this is his wish, he has always wanted to make a lot of money, wash his hands, buy a small house, marry a lady, and live a stable life for the rest of his life.
"The big boss, look at you beautifully, we don't have a yellow book on our bodies, and we have so much blood on our hands, how can we buy a small house to marry a lady, in this life, it will be very good if you are not found out by the officers and soldiers, and you will not be killed, often walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet."
Du Li smashed his mouth, and suddenly extinguished the fire that Du Ruo thought in his heart, and extinguished Du Ruo's wish, Du Ruo heard Du Li's words, and didn't speak for a long time, what Du Li said also makes sense, from the first day they became bandits, their fate has been rewritten, where can it be so simple to change their minds, no, they originally planned to defect to General Li's mansion, didn't they start kidnapping children again halfway, the essence of people, can't be changed.
The two little bandits Zhang Hua and Zhang Cai, look at me, let me look at you, Zhang Hua put his arm on top of Zhang Cai, Zhang Cai smiled and asked Du Ruo, "Master Du, if this reward is in hand, how much can our two brothers share!" Du Ruo looked at Zhang Hua and Zhang Cai, and said, "The children tied up this time are extraordinary, not the children of those big merchants, but the children of the county order of Chang'an City, if everything goes well tomorrow, if I can really get one hundred taels of silver, I will be fifty taels of silver, Du Li will be twenty taels of silver, and one of you will be fifteen taels of silver." ”
Du Li listened to Du Ruo's words, picked up a wooden stick and pulled the fire, feeling very uncomfortable, but he still looked up at Du Ruo with a smile on his face, "Big boss, everyone is doing the same job, how can you take half of it, how can the three of us divide so little, if it is divided, each person can still get twenty-five taels!" I'm afraid it's not right to do that. ”
"That's right, big boss, you've taken more than half of it, I'm afraid, it's not appropriate." Zhang Hua and Zhang Cai also echoed Du Li's words, Du Ruo knew that he brought it up, they must have objections, he said unhurriedly, "I, I have been on the top of Baiqingshan Mountain for ten years, the bandit leader of the Du family gang, you know how much blood is on his hands, there were subordinates who betrayed me before, and I also cut off their flesh one by one, I know, now, the imperial court is wantonly suppressing bandits, and our Du family gang has also been disbanded, our brothers, those who were caught were arrested, those who were killed were killed, and those who should have escaped also escaped, The only four of us left can huddle together to keep warm. ”
Du Ruo pretended to hug his fist at the three of them, "I'm grateful that you still recognize me as the eldest brother, then you also know the rules of the Du family gang, what this big brother said, but it's the same, if the county order sends a reward this time, I will give it to you, if you don't want to follow me anymore, you can go wherever you want, and the brotherhood in our life can also end here, I don't blame you, this world is small, and you can't be a bandit." ”
Du Ruo pretended to take out a sharp knife from his arms, picked up a wooden stick, the knife fell and fell, the wooden stick was cut in half, Du Ruo smiled gloomily, and threw the two wooden sticks into the fire, watching the wooden stick gradually ignited, until it burned to ashes, Du Li and the two little bandits, you look at me, I look at you, I saw that the big boss spoke, and he didn't dare to speak again, when he was in the Du family gang, they didn't know the brutal methods of the big boss, or not, just put up with him today, and when he got the reward, he left him as soon as possible, If you don't say a word right when the time comes, you will have to pay for your life.
Du Li saw that he was almost talking with the big boss, he yawned, he was really sleepy, he tossed for a day, he really wanted to sleep, he looked at the simple bamboo bed, just walked over, lay down, it was so comfortable, it was not hot yet, he was kicked down by Du Ruo, "Du Li, Du Li, you will really enjoy it, you can sleep on such a small bed, go away, let this child sleep!" Tomorrow, when you receive the reward, you can go to Yihong Courtyard to hug left and right, and you still care about this night! Du Li was kicked by Du Ruo, hehe smiled, rubbed his calf that was kicked and hurt by Du Ruo, he was very unhappy, and said with a smile on the surface, "Okay, okay, it's still up to the big boss!" I just slept on the ground! As he spoke, he picked up the shabby clothes beside him, covered his body, and slept with his clothes.
