Chapter 1. 52. Rescue (end)
Under Shen Gui's suggestion, Lin Siwei cleaned up Bao Qin's wound again, and then took out the set of special-shaped knives that were created to save the ancient ring, carefully scraped off the carrion around the wound, and applied a layer of unique secret medicine, and Lao Bao fell asleep again.
After dinner, Shen Gui, the old beggar Wu Chengfeng, the great shaman Lin Siwu, and Fu Ye sat at the table of Lao Bao's house.
Shen Gui looked at Bao Qin, who was asleep on the bed, and said with a gloomy face:
"Where did that gun come from?"
The old beggar was also puzzled:
"A gun can't be that loud. As far as I know, there are not many sects that use guns in this Jianghu, and the guns that can make such a loud noise are only recorded in ancient books. What are the Thunderbolt Thirteen Shots...... What"
"Not that! It's not the one with a pointed head and a stick at the back! It's the kind of one that has a mouth in the front and a handle in the back! ”
Shen Guiyi slapped the table and stopped the old beggar's words. Realizing that his voice was a little noisy, he looked back in the direction of Lao Bao, and then lowered his voice and said, "It's a firearm." A weapon with a sound similar to a firecracker, a weapon that uses a metal tube as a bore and fills it with gunpowder projectiles to kill enemies from a distance. You ponder and ponder, Youbei, Beiyan, Nankang, where will there be such a thing? Or has a foreign merchant ever smuggled it? ”
As soon as Shen Gui saw the wound on Bao Qin's chest today, he concluded that it was caused by a firearm. Although it seems that the lethality is not very strong, he understands better than anyone how powerless cold weapons are in the face of firearms. If there were already rudimentary firearms on this continent now, it would be a different story.
The old beggar and Fu Ye both fell into deep thought, and Lin Siwei shook his head with certainty:
"There should be no foreign merchants. But last year, in a small friction between Nankang and Beiyan, there seemed to be the kind of thing you said. I heard that it is a kind of bamboo tube that can smoke, and it is used by the people of Nankang to replace wolf smoke and pass messages to each other. ”
Shen Gui shook his head after hearing this. The kind of thing that Lin Siwei said was a kind of smoking bamboo tube, and it wasn't even the prototype of a assault gun. And the large and small iron bullets taken out of Bao Qin's body are indeed more than a dozen. But if it was said that he was injured by a firearm, and there were no traces of burning on his body, this made Shen Gui puzzled.
Fu Ye scratched his head, pointed at Bao Qin and said:
"I don't know what a firearm is, but I've seen this wound."
"When?"
Shen Gui immediately raised his head and asked.
"It's just that when I was the governor of Zhongshan before, I experienced a corpse. This case is not complicated at all, it is a well-known habitual bandit on the three roads of Youbei, who entered the inn at night to steal, was discovered by the guest and wanted to commit murder, but was killed by the guest. The guest of the hotel did not know where to go after killing people, and after the corpse was examined, more than ten copper pills were also taken out. ”
Fu Ye smiled when he said this:
"But the strange thing is that this habitual bandit also has a reward of two hundred taels of silver in the official mansion. Burglary robbery counterattack without violating the king's law, why run. ”
Lin Siwei took over the conversation, and said while wrenching his fingers:
"I thought about it carefully, and most of the foreign caravans that went to Nankang to trade and buy and sell were spices and precious stones, as well as some foreign herbs. There is absolutely no such firearm as you are talking about. ”
Shen Gui looked at Lin Siwu with a surprised expression:
"You just said that I haven't taken foreign businessmen seriously. Old lady, could it be that you still have a hidden stake in Nankang? ”
Lin Siwei patted Shen Gui's head:
"You are really a cub selling Ye Tian and don't feel distressed. Then why did the Huayan Merchant Gang let you spend money casually? Do you really think that all the money is blown by the wind? ”
Shen Gui ran to Lin Siwei's side, pointed to the old beggar Wu Chengfeng on the side and said:
"Old lady, you are so rich, you said it earlier! I already knew, you asked me to follow this old begger, you must be afraid that I will lose in the future, so test me, right? ”
Wu Chengfeng was half angry with his face:
"It used to be called by the master, but now when I see that Lin Siwu has money, I change my name to the old man. When this person is poor, his ambition is short. ”
"Who said that the Huayan Merchant Gang is mine? To tell you the truth, although the silver is not blown by the wind, you can spend it justifiably. ”
"I don't like to talk about it. Let's talk about the Sixty Mile Pavilion first. What's going on out there? What happened next? ”
Wu Chengfeng pursed his lips:
"I don't even talk about you, the gods are chattering, thinking about those pants and farting. With us added that day, there were only four groups of people in total. Let's add the Fu family of three; The thief and the death of the eunuch are considered a group; The fourteen plucked out on the east mountainside are counted as a handful; If you hurt the old bag and didn't show up, it's a bunch. ”
"Wait, wait, wait. Where did the military division and the master of the village go? Those two people are quite interesting, didn't let Fourteen wipe his neck easily, right? ”
"Not really, now the two of them are recuperating in the small temple at the end of the village. Fourteen brought them food every day, and they did not die of hunger. ”
"Oh yes, the ...... who cut me Uncle? Aunt? Whatever, just that Shan Qingquan, what's going on? ”
Lin Si sighed worriedly and said with a little pity:
He and Lu Xiangyin, the supervisor of the Youbei Imperial Horse Prison, used to be both from the Xuanyue Dao Palace. He is the descendant disciple of Xuanxu Daojun, the founder of Xuanyue Dao Palace, and he is the uncle of the contemporary Nanyang Daoist. Although he has a strange temperament, he is really a poor man. When he was not successful in the muscles and bones meridians, he secretly learned internal skills out of jealousy, and his body was broken and his muscles were injured. He is not quite the same as Lu Xiangyin, Shan Qingquan injured the Zong tendon and caused the yang to shrink into the abdomen; And Lu Xiangyin was voluntarily castrated into the palace. ”
Shen Gui looked down at himself in a panic, and then turned his head and shouted at Wu Chengfeng:
"Master, master, you taught me to practice without internal skills, right?"
Wu Chengfeng hummed and replied:
"There's a fart, the inner family's pure heart recipe is a Taoist book used to polish your temperament, and it is not internal strength. Everything else you will be taught is just some basic skills. Also, don't call me Master, the great shaman has found a new master for you, and you don't need Lao Tzu to mistake people's children anymore. ”
Shen Gui looked at Wu Chengfeng like this, and his heart felt fresh. For so many years, the old beggar has been full of indifference, and today it is very rare to overturn the vinegar jar:
"Don't worry, who is in the rivers and lakes of Youbei who doesn't know, Shen Gui is the little flower who follows your grandfather Wu's buttocks. Wherever I go, I have to beat your vine (to report your name). ”
Wu Chengfeng had a tense face, but the corners of his mouth were about to grin at the root of his ears:
"You kid only think of me when you're in trouble. Forget it, the old man is a rough man from a foreign family, you have such good qualifications, and now you have taken the elixir of the great shaman, I really can't teach you. That's it, Lin Siwu, you just hand over this child to that one, it's not in vain that it's not in vain that the hard work of the old man named Hanako. ”
Lin Siwei nodded, looked back at Fu Ye and said:
"Shen Gui's matter aside. Your family can't stay in the north anymore. Right now, neither the Yan family nor the Li family will let you live anymore. The old prince will be in Shuangshan Village in the future, and there is no need to worry about having iron armor to take care of you and Shen Gui. That's okay, I'll give you a letter of recommendation tomorrow, you take your family and go to Nankang to join my old friend. ”
Fu Ye lowered his head and thought for a moment when he heard this, and pointed to Shen Gui, who was coaxing the old beggar on the side:
"I still want to stay and help Young Master Sun, I can't let the Zhongshan Guo family lose like this."
Lin Siwei shook his head:
"If you have to do this, leave Fu Yi to accompany Shen Gui. He originally had two brothers, one named Qi Yan and the other called Qi Hui, but at this time, they also went to learn art with their master......"
Shen Gui interrupted when he heard this: "Now there is a new brother named Fourteen!" ”
Lin Siwei smiled:
"Yes, then add Fu Yi. If one of your former governors stays here, he will definitely bring the Guo family a catastrophe of extermination. ”
"I'm not worried about the disaster of extermination, anyway, there are only three people in the Guo family: the old man, Tie Jia, and me. However, the affairs of our time are to be solved by those of us. ”
