Chapter III. The sword asks Beiyan 69.Go deep into the tiger's den

After Qi Yan returned to the tea shed with three empty bowls, the old man was still carefully observing the bottom of the carriage. Judging by his cautious appearance, he should be afraid that there is still a 'person who understands' sitting in the carriage, and he will splash the three bowls of slightly muddy 'tea base' directly into the carriage......

"Uncle, do you always set up a tea stall on the side of the official road every day?"

The little fat man smiled and gossiped with the old man. At this time, he was sitting on the edge of the charcoal stove and roasting his hands; And all the old man's thoughts were on carefully observing the floor of the roadside carriage, and he asked perfunctorily all the questions:

"Yes, the uncle is so old that his waist and legs don't stand up, and he can't take care of the crops anymore; When I was younger, I didn't learn a good craft, so if I didn't do this, what else could I do? ”

Qi Yan also came to Qi Hui's side at this time, stretched out his hand together, and rubbed his frozen fingers back and forth with the warmth of the charcoal stove:

"How many people are there in the uncle's family?"

When the old man heard this question, a look of vigilance flashed in his eyes. So, he turned his back by cleaning up the cups and plates, and only glanced at the Qi brothers out of the corner of his eye, only to see that the two of them didn't even look at their side, as if he was just asking casually and didn't have any other purpose, so he put his mind at ease:

"There's no one left...... There is only one 'medicine jar woman' left in the house...... By the way, can I add you another bowl of water? ”

Speaking of this, the old man poured two more bowls of water, and by the way, he also took advantage of the good opportunity of his back to stir a few times in the tea base with his already 'empty' little finger nails......

"I don't drink anymore...... I may have not eaten for a long time, and just now I let your old man's bowl of tea be cleared, and my body is a little soft...... Ay? Why did my eyes start to double vision...... Eldest brother...... Eldest brother......? ”

The little fat man stood up while touching his belly, as if he wanted to grab his brother's arm, but he grabbed two handfuls back and forth, but in the end he only got a full hand......

When he stretched out his hand for the third time, Qi Hui, whose eyes were confused, suddenly looked stunned, and the whole person fell softly on the edge of the charcoal stove......

"Hey...... You kid, you can't eat well and make trouble? I...... Ay? Why am I a little dizzy......? Qi Yan just wanted to help his greedy brother up, but he didn't think about it, he just stood up half of his body, and his legs were also weak, and then he looked down at his hands, and then his eyes rolled up, and he fell straight to the ground......

The old man, who had been tidying up the stall with his back on his back, had two ears standing and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two brothers. It was not until at this time that the 'Qi family brothers' both fainted and fell to the ground, and the old man's nervous and stiff body was completely relaxed......

"Raw melon is raw melon, is the road on the rivers and lakes so easy to walk? The food and wine sent by strangers are so delicious? Don't even look at it, dare to put it in your mouth? You brothers, if you die, you will die, you are not wronged at all! ”

After saying that, the old man let out a 'poof' sound, and pulled out a shiny steel knife from under the tea table with his backhand. Then he bent his waist and walked cautiously towards the carriage in the distance......

According to Shen Gui's thoughts, this old man should be just an amateur bandit who is responsible for 'flirting and keeping guests by the way'. The main duty of all this passer-by is to ventilate and report the news, and prevent the officials, soldiers or enemies from secretly touching the mountain; As for today's 'retaining customers', it's just piggybacking to make a lot of extra money. Because the big boss in the mountains often divides the spoils of this amateur bandit according to the final harvest of 'every business'.

And don't look at this old man, he also has a tea shed, but it is not like a professional bandit who runs a black shop. They only resell the 'source of customers', but their subordinates do not directly deal with the murder cases.

And for Shen Gui, who has never shown his face, the time when he was most worried that there would be problems has actually passed. Because if this old man is a professional bandit who eats 'dead man's food', then the first thing he will do after he has drugged and turned over the merchants is to cut his throat and bleed. So once this old man has the intention of killing the Qi brothers, then he will make a plan, but he will not be able to sing anymore......

Shen Gui, who was in the carriage, followed a window crack at this time, and only glanced at the posture of the old man holding the knife forward, and knew that he was just an ordinary person's foundation, and his heart was completely settled. He waved his hand at Li Le'an with his backhand, and after the three of them quietly made a fuss, there was no sound in the entire carriage......

The old man outside the carriage walked very slowly, and it may also be the reason for the thief's fear, until he tiptoed to the side of the carriage, and Shen Guidu in the carriage was really about to die......

'Bump! ’

To say that although this old man is an amateur robber, after all, he has harmed many people, and he has seen more 'world', and he has already become half an old man without a teacher. When he came to the carriage, he held his breath for a long time; Suddenly, he picked up the steel knife in his hand and knocked the wooden window of the carriage with a loud bang!

If the people in the carriage have not been turned over by their own medicine, or the strength of the medicine has not been up for the time being; At this time, I was startled by the sudden loud noise in the silence, and I was sure to make some noise!

After all, this old man is already so old, even if he has a knife in his hand, if there are really a few good guys in the carriage and he has not been turned over for the time being, then he will definitely not be an opponent that his old bones can compete with!

After knocking on the window, the old man sank for a long time, and then dared to climb into the carriage tremblingly, holding a knife in one hand and lifting a cotton curtain hanging outside the carriage with the other......

I saw that on the ground of this small carriage, there were still a man and two women lying at this time; And judging from the clothes and temperament alone, these are obviously three rich children!

"It's weirdly bright ......!"

The old man bent down and got into the carriage, struggled over Shen Gui, who was like a dead pig, and tapped him twice hard with the blade of his knife, making two crisp sounds......

"It's good to have money at home...... Go out and lie far away, and take the two mothers-in-law with your mother-in-law! ”

The old man muttered nonsense as he began to flip through the packages that were in the carriage......

In fact, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, after the old man turned over Li Le'an's package, he should immediately turn around and get out of the car; If you pay more attention to the big thief, you will put down half of the silver on your body! Because even the most vicious bandits, as long as he is a 'boat rowing on the river and a boat on the lake', he will never be embarrassed by the Lang Chinese medicine practitioner who carries a medical box with him! However, this 'amateur bandit' obviously did not have that awareness, and when he saw those silver needle leather bags of different lengths, he just threw them aside, and continued to rummage through other baggage......

But just when he touched Shen Gui's burden, he happened to roar past an official post horse on the official road. The old man followed the gap in the window of the carriage, and after seeing the official uniform, he no longer bothered to rummage through the belongings, but immediately climbed out of the carriage, and it took a lot of effort to drag Qi Yan and Qi Hui, the two unconscious meat tickets, to the carriage......

Qi Yan, who already has few taels of meat, is okay to say; But the little fat man returned to that body, but he almost killed this old man! It wasn't until he dragged Qi Hui into the carriage that this person was already tired and soaked!

After recovering some strength for half a pillar of incense, he put on Shen Gui's skin, whipped his horse, and headed straight to the northwest.

And the direction of this march was beyond everyone's expectations.

Originally, everyone thought that their fate should be 're-sold' by this old man to the northeast - a bandit den on Blackstone Mountain! But judging by this distance now, this old man's destination is really the 'Tiger Neck Village' he just said!

Now, the five meat tickets in the carriage looked at each other, and they made up their minds to 'continue to play dead'. They also want to see what kind of small abacus this old man who lacks great virtue is doing!

Not long after heading northwest, the carriage came to a rather secluded mountain village. The old man who was driving the carriage had just stopped at the entrance of the village, when two young men who were on vigil came forward, and one of them took the old man by the arm and took him out of the carriage; The other person struck the gong in his hand three times......

After three gongs, Tiger Neck Village, which was originally only lit up with stars, was already lit up in an instant! From a large house in the middle of the village, a Taoist man wearing a black robe, with a disheveled head, and a barefoot sword came out:

"The Great Protector is back? Hard work! Why are you so slow to come back tonight? Did you encounter any danger on the way? What kind of 'harvest' is this time? ”

The old man stretched out his hand and slapped his waist, and smiled slightly with a slight self-control on his face:

"The altar owner is too worried, when did our old horse take action in person? This time, I brought back three men and two women, all of whom are young people with strong blood and blood! In my opinion, these five people should be all the way. We won't mention the two 'little Liba' who drove the car, but the young man who was richly dressed and had a very white face should be a rich young master who had read books; As for those two beautiful girls...... It should be his concubine and wife......"

When Li Le'an in the carriage heard this, he carefully kicked Yan Shuqing, who was lying at his feet and was also 'pretending to be dead' at this time:

"People say you're a concubine, do you hear that?"

Although Yan Shuqing also closed a pair of willow eyes at this time, she was not to be outdone, and tore off Li Le'an's cotton boots with her backhand, and gently swept her soles with her long nails......

As the saying goes, if two tigers fight, there must be an injury!

In order to forcibly hold back the smile, Li Le'an's pair of little rabbit teeth bit Shen Gui's shoulder fiercely!
