Chapter Ninety-Nine: Cutting the Path to the Strongman
"Wait a minute." Xie Yucheng turned around, walked to the chicken coop, and handed over the box gun, "This gun is a pretty hand, you can take it." Be careful on the road. “
"This, this is not good, Mr. Xie." There was some surprise in the chicken coop.
"The situation is critical at the moment, you are walking alone, taking your body with you, in case there is something along the way, it is easy to deal with it." Xie Yucheng said disapprerovingly.
"Thank you sir a lot, but I took it, what are you going to do?." The chicken nest was a little moved, and at this time, seeing Lao Ha turn around, his eyes shot straight over, and there was no warning in his eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Xie, I understand your kindness." I don't dare ask for this gun. Looking back, I can't afford it. “
"I'm with old brother, we'll be careful. Take it and be sure to stay safe. “
The chicken nest didn't know what to say for a while, but Xie Yuzhen suddenly remembered something and smiled, "However, this is only a temporary loan, and you have to return it to me when you go back." “
"Yes. Mr. Xie. The hen's nest no longer refused, stretched out his hands to take it, turned around, and cautiously sneaked south.
Xie Yucheng and Lao Ha also turned northbound.
The two of them walked around the windmill pass, walked for about four or five miles, and saw a big rock in the bushes on the side of the road, so Xie Yucheng stopped to make a mark.
There was a dead leaf tree the thickness of a sea bowl beside the stone, and as soon as Lao Ha sat down on the dead tree, took out his cigarette pouch, and felt the foreign fire, he heard the sound of horses' hooves on the mountain road, and a horse was galloping from the north far away.
Lao Ha and Xie Yucheng glanced at each other, and the two quickly reached an agreement: intercept it.
Looking left and right, the two of them picked up the dead leaf tree from the bushes and erected it.
The horse's hooves clicked, and the horse came close in an instant.
The knights on horseback look like they carry spears. Riding a horse and galloping in the sun, he saw in the distance that there seemed to be a figure on the side of the road and the shadow of a tree flickering, and he also met many pedestrians along the way, and he didn't care at this time; As for the flickering shadows of the trees, he thought it was the sun that was dazzling, so he was mistaken.
Who knew that when they got closer, a small tree with withered leaves fell down on the side of the road and lay across the mountain road.
Herod --
The horse was suddenly frightened, and the man rose to his feet, and threw him off the ground, and threw him to the ground, and he was dizzy.
Before he could get up, two people had already pounced on him, one pulling the horse and the other pulling the man. When he was more sober, he saw that a young man in a long shirt had already grabbed his horse, and a man in the prime of life had pointed a box gun at his head.
"How's it going, it's not hurt, is it?" The man in the prime of life, wearing a felt hat and smiling in his eyes, waved his box gun and motioned for him to stand up. The young man in the long shirt who was leading the horse approached and took off his back gun. The two of them pushed him and walked towards the bushes by the side of the road.
"Two or two big brothers, I, I have ...... There are a few pieces of ocean copper......"
This Tuan Ding's face was pale, sweating like pulp, and he trembled violently under the push of the two. He walked mechanically and pleaded quietly. It seems that he treats the two of them as strongmen who cut the path.
"Don't look back, go ahead of yours, we don't ask for money, we don't kill you. If you are so obedient, you will naturally be fine. The vegetation on the side of the road was quite lush, Lao Ha poked Tuan Ding with a box gun and walked in front, and Xie Yucheng led the horse and walked behind.
As Lao Ha walked, he frequently turned his head and looked at the horses led by Xie Yucheng.
This is a jujube red horse, oily and slippery, fat and strong. The corners of Lao Ha's mouth are almost grinning.
The gap between the bushes is getting narrower and narrower, and this place is not far from the roadside, only about 200 meters, Lao Ha has the heart to go a little further, and he is afraid that the branches will hurt the eyes of the red horse, so he ordered Tuan Ding to stop, and motioned him to remove the clothes on his body one by one, until there is a pair of trousers left.
"You're from the Locke family?"
Lao Ha's box barrel picked up the clothes on the ground, rummaged through, found three oceans, a pile of copper, three rows of bullets, and a woman's bracelet, and looked at Tuan Ding a few steps away with cold eyes, without any emotion in his tone.
"......" This group of Ding is eighteen or nineteen years old, with thin eyebrows and small eyes, and yellow skin, like a little old man, and now he is shrinking into a ball, trembling.
"In such a hurry, riding a horse again, what are you going to do?"
"I, I'm ......" Tuan Ding's eyes dodged, stumbling, and couldn't spit out a complete sentence.
"It seems that you are not going to ...... Got a good talk? Lao Ha's brows furrowed, and his gaze became more and more gloomy.
The jujube red horse also seemed to feel the atmosphere of the scene, struggling his neck uneasily, snorting frequently, kicking his hooves backwards, as if he wanted to turn around and walk back.
Xie Yucheng didn't understand the nature of the horse, and he also felt its anxiety at this time, so he had to carry the captured Wuzi fast gun cross-legged on his shoulder, controlling the horse's reins with both hands, and didn't dare to hold it too tightly so as not to provoke it.
At this time, his gaze swept over the clothes on the ground and fell on the three rows of yellow and clear bullets, and he was a little surprised in his heart: This group in front of him can wow, carrying a full twenty rounds of bullets, it is not simple.
Lao Ha picked up the clothes with the box gun, threw them on the head of the group, got up on the ground, and said in a low voice:
"Let me ask you one last thing, what did the Locke family send you for?"
As soon as Tuan Ding tore off the clothes covering his head and face, he saw that Lao Ha had approached, and a dagger appeared in his left hand, and the cold light flashed, so frightened that he stared at him in horror, and waved his hands together:
"Good man, it's the hunchback's secret, it's none of my business, it's not my business."
Hunchback snitching?
Xie Yucheng listened, and his heart sank:
The intelligence of this long-distance attack was based on a bandit named Ah Long in the village. Aronna's relatives in the cold puddle are said to be camels.
In order to make things easier, this time Na Aaron also came with the horse exploration team.
According to the plan agreed yesterday, this time the third brother and Qiao Feiyan sneaked into the cold water hole in advance, which was disguised as the tooth man of the wood merchant outside the mountain, and the place where they settled was Ah Long's relative's house.
Could it be that the deeds of the horse exploration team have been revealed, and they have been betrayed by Aronna's relatives?
Thinking of this, Xie Yucheng couldn't help but glance at Lao Ha, and was about to speak, but it happened that Lao Ha was also looking over, it seemed that he undoubtedly thought of this, and saw that his worry was also overflowing.
The two looked at each other and looked at the group in unison.
Seeing that although the group was shrinking his neck, he raised his head frequently, peeping at the two of them, Lao Ha's eyes widened, and he shouted:
"What are you looking at? Let's be honest. ”
The group immediately lowered his eyebrows again and lowered his head.
Lao Ha put away the box gun, inserted it in his lower back, took the short knife in his left hand with his right hand, and squatted down while holding the knife flower, staring at Tuanding's cheeks, and lowered his voice: "This brother, do you want to die or live?" ”
The insects in the thorn bush are not stopping, and under the midsummer sun, the knife flowers are dazzling.
