The men at the same table said yes one after another. Xie Yucheng and Niu Er squeezed everyone to sit down and nodded to them: "I don't know what's wrong, there are so many twists and turns in this trip." ”

"Cubs, what do you know, how big the profit is, how big the risk is, hey."

"Now it's okay, walk for two days at most, and you'll be on the ground. After unloading the goods, the brothers are happy to go. Seeing that the atmosphere was gloomy, Xu Shi smiled and said.

"Okay, let's see which way Liu goes back, if you go to Xiangnan, Lao Tzu will go to Chenzhou to meet Xiao Taoxiang. Hey. ”

"This old guy can ha, it's everywhere...... Hey, dude...... If you want to go, you can go, after a long time, this woman won't be angry? Niu Er became interested in their words, glanced at a few people carefully, and stopped his chopsticks in a sneering manner.

"Angry?" Guan Gong's face was raised, he looked at Niu Er with interest, and said with a smile, "Angry." Angry, of course. How not to be angry. But you have to find a way to keep her from being angry, right? ”

"This ...... What's the solution? Niu Er smiled and shrunk his neck embarrassedly.

"How? You've got to have a trick for this, and you're going to have a cub. ”

"Cub, look at your age, aren't you still a child? Go back and go with the old brothers, and take you to open the meat. What do you think? One of them quipped, and after saying that, several old men looked at each other and laughed.

Niu Er smiled shyly and looked at Xie Yucheng, who was busy eating next to him: "In my opinion, Mr. Xie...... I'm afraid it's the same. Hey. ”

"What's so much going on?" Xie Yucheng glared at him angrily, and seeing that he was still smiling, he handed the chopsticks to his left hand and slapped him on the head.

Niu Er tilted his head to avoid it, still smiling, but unexpectedly, the rice bowl was tilted, and the rice grains were poured out. Because he had chopsticks in his hand, it was inconvenient to ambulance, and Niu Er, who was quick-eyed, hurriedly blocked it with his arm.

When the veterans saw this, they all burst out laughing. But after a while, these old friends discovered that although these two young people were also joking with everyone, the vegetables in the vegetable pot were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

These old friends are all old rivers and lakes, and they are naturally not fuel-efficient lamps. Next, although they were still smiling and smiling as always, they all drank the wine in the dry bowl one after another, quickly ate their meals, and quickly picked up their chopsticks..... Fortunately, the two foodies were already half-full at this time, and their eating appearance was much more gentle. The two sides got along quite happily.

It was early in the middle of summer, and the time of the horse gang was very tight, and when everyone packed up and was ready to leave, Xie Yucheng looked at his watch, and it was only half past five.

At this moment, the leper tiger sent someone to invite Li Muying over.

It turned out that after Senator Yang died yesterday, his two entourages asked to leave. Someone suggested to the leper tiger that these two guys were not good birds, so they should be killed together. Some people suggested that it should be used directly as a meat ticket and let their families use the money to redeem it. But the leper tiger thought about it, and decided that it would be better to return one yard to another, and was going to wait for the caravan to leave, and then let them go. Later, he handed the two of them over to the care of the one-eyed dragon, not wanting to get up this morning, only to find that the two had escaped last night.

The one-eyed dragon in charge of guarding it was afraid of being scolded, so he concealed it and did not report it. If it weren't for the fact that this morning, the sixteenth sister patrolled the camp and found an abnormality, it is estimated that he would have kept it hidden.

After consulting with several leaders, the leper tiger felt that it was necessary to tell Li Muying about the situation, because the caravan was about to pass through Tanghuwei. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. If there are any variables that this brings, it is better to prepare in advance.

Moreover, the leper tiger said yesterday that he would send people to investigate the situation in the east, west, and north directions of Tanghuwei to open the way for the caravan. Now he saw that the horse gang was about to be pulled, but he sent someone to invite Li Muying to come over and urgently discuss these two aspects.

Li Muying ordered the caravan to immediately board the road and hit the road. Big Scar Liu and the second squad leader nodded to each other, and the horse bell rang again. Driven by the horsemen, mules and horses walked past the embers of the bonfires one after another, passing large stones that were flat and rounded, and wandered towards the northwest exit of the basin.

There are many horses and mules, and the big scar Liu is about to approach the mountain pass with the head mule, and there are still a large number of horses and mules in the basin, waiting to line up to pull out. Li Muying left a group of palaces, and he took a leopard to see the leprosy tiger.

Xie Yucheng and the others were giggling and walking towards the exit in the middle of the basin, and Li Muying saw it, and her heart moved, so she invited Xie Yucheng to go to the east coast together. Xie Yucheng smiled, and before he could speak, Niu Er had already agreed, and the two of them followed over to watch the excitement.

Compared to the well-organized camping of the caravan, the camp of the eighteenth row appeared disorganized. Whether it's the arrangement of the fire or the location of the kitchen, it's all casual.

The camp of the caravan, from the layout of the sentry, the location of the kitchen, the location of the temporary horse fence, and even the arrangement of the various fires, are all in order.

The distance between the campfires lit by the caravan was about seven or eight meters, because this distance could not only quickly warm the ground between the two fires, but also leave enough passage for passage. But the eighteen rows of fires, some of which are far away, some of which are very close, are very arbitrary.

Around the fire, the bandits were still staggering and sleeping, and the weapons they carried with them were thrown everywhere.

These weapons are very old, most of them are all kinds of foreign fast guns and earthen guns left over from the former Qing Dynasty and Beiyang periods. There are also old sleeves and gold hook rifles; As for the soil gun, the shape of the swallow thin ring is different; Occasionally, you can see one or two improved Hanyang-made.

Maybe it's because it's old, maybe it's because you don't know how to maintain it, or both. These weapons look like antiques anyway. The paint peeling and scarred on the butt on the handguard, and even the ubiquitous scratches on the barrel and bolt were shocking. Looking at the leopard in the tube, it can be inferred from the appearance that the internal situation of these firearms is not much better.

Even more worrying is the issue of the ammunition ration for these firearms. If it is said that the bullet made by Hanyang in the old sleeve is a universal version of the Republic of China era; Those earthen firearms, because they use black powder, do not have any caliber problems. Then, for all kinds of foreign fast guns in the pre-Qing Dynasty, Xie Yucheng had to wonder if China could find suitable bullets at this time.

In other words, if these fast guns are not empty guns, then there is only one possibility, that is, they are also like Niu Er's revolver, and the only little bullet will be used when it is extremely needed. As for the usual shooting practice, it should be just a luxury idea.

When they drank last night, those leaders generally carried a box cannon, and some even had two, such as the sixteenth sister and his brother Lu Hao, who were "two guns on the left and right, and 100 shots". But today, among these ordinary bandits, not even a short gun is seen. Even if it is a black powder short gun like Wang Jiagui, the chief of Qingluo Village. Not a handful.

Seeing the 'mixed weapon' in front of him, Xie Yucheng finally understood why the leper tiger called the bullet a "golden silkworm" when he was drinking last night. It's not just a mafia term.

In this way, Xie Yucheng was even more curious: how did the three-shot "Water Lianzhu" that fixed the world yesterday afternoon end up in this deep mountain and old forest, and how did it fall into the hands of that Lu Qing kid.

There was a large stone pan in the center of the camp, where the leaders led by the leprosy tiger gathered. The leprosy tiger was thundering and reprimanding the one-eyed dragon. Thirty meters away, his voice was still thunderous:

"Eight, eight, I see that you are getting more and more outstanding, huh? If you don't take care of it, forget it. People run away, why don't you hide it and don't report it, what kind of heart do you have? ”
