Text Chapter 197 Righteous Action
There was already chaos in the fence by the lake, and Lu Cheng and his men were trying to drive the carriage away. After taking advantage of the chaos to leave, Lu Cheng hurriedly called out his companions who were hiding in the mountains and forests, and was able to offer the Yuntianma bought by the Tule caravan to the eldest prince, which was a great credit.
Some people have a good eye for Jiang Anyi's charcoal, and they want to take it away. Charcoal will make others move him, lift the horse's leg and reward the man with a hoof, and then rampant in the horse ring, causing the horses to gallop and make a mess. Jiang Anyi, the fat man and others rushed outside the inn, and the group was still busy pacifying the horses.
Lu Cheng always paid attention to the movement in the inn, and when he saw Jiang Anyi and the others appear, he immediately knew that the general trend had gone, and he thought that he would fight for at least half an hour, but the two sides shook hands and made peace. Lu Cheng didn't say a word, nor did he greet others, and ran in the direction of the mountains and forests.
The hot lady made a loss-making deal, and she was holding back the fire in her heart, and when she saw that the messenger wanted to run, she screamed: "Be a family, the kid who delivered the letter wants to run away, stop him." ”
"Gotta order." The fat man rushed to the door with an agility beyond ordinary people, kicked his leg to the ground, and a fist-sized pebble rose in response to his leg, and the fat hand slashed with the axe in his hand, and the stone shot like an arrow and smashed on Lu Cheng's horse's buttocks. The man who had eaten the pain stood up and threw Lu Cheng to the ground.
The fat man's subordinates applauded, the second child had already wrapped up his wound at the moment, hated Jiang Anyi for hurting his shoulder, and deliberately said to Jiang Anyi beside him with slanted eyes: "Boy, you also have a hand?" ”
Jiang Anyi leaned over and picked up a stone from under his leg, pinched it, and threw it out casually. The stones shattered into seven or eight pieces, each of which struck a thief, and a large piece fell in front of his eyes.
Rhona and the caravan's guards shouted loudly, and their eyes widened like cockfights, full of gunpowder.
The spicy lady was afraid that some merchants in the past would see this meeting, so she commanded in a coquettish voice: "Don't hurry up and do it, don't scare the merchants who come and go, the old lady's brand will be smashed." ”
The crowd gathered firewood and the flame was high, three times five divided by two, and there were not many people who escaped, including Lu Cheng, a total of sixty-three people were captured, and they were tied in front of the inn with a rope.
"Boy, who are you? actually dared to take advantage of Lao Tzu, and wanted to eat black and eat black. The fat man kicked Lu Cheng's ass with one leg and asked: "Lao Tzu has long looked at you unpleasantly, and I looked at my wife with a thief's eyebrows, and I dared to kick Lao Tzu yesterday, to tell you the truth, Lao Tzu has long been thinking about waiting for the work to be done to remove your legs." ”
Lu Cheng's face was like ashes, his brown eyes turned violently, and when he saw Tulebu coming out surrounded by all the guards, he shouted loudly: "Old man Tule, help me." I am willing to surrender and help the second prince. ”
Seeing that Tulebu stopped, the fat man smiled and said slyly: "It seems that you kid is still a little useful, old man, make a price." ”
Tulebu's face was gloomy, and whoever had just been manipulated didn't have a good face, and said coldly: "These people are all selected warriors from the Shasu Kingdom, and now they are homeless, so they have to join you, and there are dozens of more people at once, what price do you want me to pay, what price do you give me." ”
The fat man scratched his scalp, shouted the spicy lady, and said, "The inner master, you come over for a while, and you have to rely on you to talk about business." ”
The hot lady and Tulebu found a corner and argued passionately, and the fat man walked up to Jiang Anyi and said with a smile: "Little brother, good skills, what's your name?" ”
"What do you want to do?" Luo Na came out from the side and grabbed Jiang Anyi tightly, like a hen guarding a chick, staring at the fat man with unkind eyes.
"Hey, hey", the fat man let out a burst of obscene laughter, and said, "Little girl, don't worry, I won't treat you well, just see that he is good and make friends." My name is Teng Gongli. ”
"Segding", Jiang Anyi learned Western Regions with Luo Na these days and reported his fake name.
The fat man showed his obscene smile that was not smiling, and said: "Brother Sai, it's a pity that such a good skill stays in the caravan, follow me Lao Teng, dominate in this desert for thousands of miles, this is the merit that a manly man should have, how about it?" Are you going to be the second in charge? Why don't we call the boss together? ”
The words were very tempting, which made Luo Na beside Jiang Anyi very nervous, and subconsciously held Jiang Anyi's arm tightly, and said coquettishly: "Don't pay attention to him, Anyi." ”
Anyi, Luo Na nervously confided Jiang Anyi's real name, the fat man's eyes flashed, and he didn't notice it. Jiang Anyi was bent on going home, how could he be tempted by the horse thief, and said with a faint smile: "Teng's family looks up to Sai Mou, but Sai Mou has no intention of leaving the caravan for the time being." ”
The fat man looked at Luo Na, looked understanding, and said with a smile: "That's, that's, but, Brother Sai, if you have an idea in the future, even if you come to your brother, your brother's promise to you will never change." ”
Over there, Tulebu negotiated with the spicy lady, Tulebu looked depressed, and the spicy lady was smiling, and she knew the result of the negotiation without asking. Tulebu motioned to the guards to pick up Lu Cheng, the place of right and wrong should not stay for a long time, the caravan and his party left the inn and continued to move forward, and those people and horses were left behind in the inn.
In the evening, they entered the town of Shahe in the country of Qianglan, and the whole caravan immediately started talking and laughing, and the threat from the horse thieves was lifted. After eating, Luo Na was left behind by Tulebu, and the grandfather and grandson and Lang Luo wanted to judge Lu Cheng carefully, and Jiang Anyi did not want to get involved in the internal strife of Shasu Kingdom, so he went to the town alone to hang out.
Shahe Town is a traffic town, the street is full of people and animals, there are herdsmen who return late, there are business travelers from afar, from the perspective of clothing, the local residents live very miscellaneous, look at the house building, there are Western Regions style square houses, there are also desert tents standing in the open space, and even Zheng style restaurants, Jiang Anyi slowly walked on the exotic streets, missing his homeland relatives.
A child was thrown out of the opposite door and fell in the middle of the road, and then a strong man came out of the door, brandished a leather whip and whipped at the child, and scolded viciously: "If you don't learn well at a young age, you will be allowed to steal." ”
The child expertly arched his back, and the whip landed on the tattered clothes, leaving a bloody streak. The man was still puzzled, kicked out, picked the child in the air, and two steamed buns fell out of his arms. The strong man got reasonable, pointed at the steamed buns on the ground with a whip, and said to the crowd that gathered around: "Everyone, do you see, this is the thief's stolen goods." ”
After speaking, the strong man raised his leather whip and was about to whip it towards the child, but the child was kicked by the leg just now, and struggled twice without moving. Jiang Anyi really couldn't see it, stepped forward and grabbed the strong man's hand, and persuaded: "Forget it, the child is already injured a lot, and if he fights again, he will die." ”
The strong man squinted his eyes and glanced at Jiang Anyi, and snorted: "One is called Huazi, if you are killed and buried, what do you want to do?" Forget it, you're talking about lightness, stealing my steamed buns and you give money? ”
Jiang Anyi took out a bag from his waist, which was a money bag given to him by Luo Na, which contained some gold and silver coins. Jiang Anyi was not familiar with the prices in the Western Regions, so he took out a piece of silver coin at random, handed it to the strong man, and said, "Enough." ”
Most of the 28 countries in the Western Regions have their own national coins, and the unit of measurement is the same, a silver coin weighs half a tael, a gold coin weighs one tael, a gold coin can be exchanged for fifty silver coins, a silver coin can be exchanged for two hundred copper coins, and a copper coin can be exchanged for two steamed buns.
The strong man put the silver coin in his mouth and bit it, and his greedy gaze flashed from Jiang Anyi's waist, and when he untied the money bag just now, he saw a lot of yellow and white inside, and this kid was greedy. The clothes on Jiang Anyi's body are in the style of Sha Suguo, but the black-haired and yellow-skinned people are obviously Zheng people, and Zheng people are often bullied in the Western Regions, so this kid is thinking about whether to do it or not.
Jiang Anyi didn't notice the ambition of the strong man, and bent down to help the child, only to find that the child was also black-haired and yellow-skinned, with slightly blue eyes, and should be a mixed-race child. Gently patting the dust off the child's body, Jiang Anyi asked in Zheng language: "Child, it doesn't matter to you, do you want me to take you to see the injury?" ”
The child obviously understood Zheng Yu, shook his head and didn't speak, and looked at the two steamed buns on the ground.
When the strong man heard Jiang Anyi say Zheng Yu, there was a fierce light in his eyes, and he shouted: "This money is not enough, this kid steals things from my store every day, and it has been several years, leave the money bag on your waist, forget it." ”
The child's eyes showed indignation, and he said to Jiang Anyi in a low voice: "Uncle, don't worry about me, you go quickly, he is not at ease, and wants to rob you of your money." ”
The strong man named Du Shi couldn't wait to reach out to the money bag on Jiang Anyi's waist, Jiang Anyi made a hand like electricity, grabbed Du Shi's wrist, and with a little force, Du Shi howled miserably like killing a pig.
Jiang Anyi patted the child's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, uncle will catch ghosts." ”
The child's eyes flashed with hope, and he suddenly spoke: "Uncle, are you from Dazheng, can you take me back to Dazheng, I have relatives in Dazheng, and I will ask them to repay you after finding my relatives." ”
Jiang Anyi was stunned for a moment, seeing that this kid was only about seven or eight years old, how could he be left alone in the Western Regions. Looking at the child's pleading eyes, Jiang Anyi responded without thinking: "Okay, Uncle will take you back when he returns to Dazheng." What's your name, and is there anyone else in the house? ”
Du Shi shook his wrist and yelled at the restaurant behind him, and immediately rushed five or six men, holding wooden sticks and shovels in their hands, it seemed that the guys in the store and the chef of the dishes were all in battle. Jiang Anyi would put these people in his eyes, and he would put these people to the ground after dividing them by two.
The child is obviously bullied by these people on weekdays, and at this moment he took the opportunity to beat the water dog, stepped on a leg in everyone's hands, and then turned around to pick up the steamed buns on the ground, Jiang Anyi stopped him and said: "Uncle has money, don't want the ones on the ground, I'll buy them for you." ”
The child was stunned for a moment, and suddenly cried "wow", crying so heartbreakingly, it made people break their liver and intestines.
