Chapter 22: Fooling Around
As usual, they were drilling ravines and wading through river beaches to take shortcuts, and seeing that the sun was about to go west, Mo Tianliu and the others finally saw the city gate hole in Qingle County, and the plaster flag standing tall on the city gate building!
Wiping the sweat from his face, Mo Tianliu gasped heavily, turned his head and said to the group of chestnuts following him: "Big boss, let's rest?" Wait for the sweat on your body to be collected, and slowly pass towards the city gate, just in time to get to the county seat before closing the city gate! ”
opened their clothes, and the group of chestnuts, who were also covered in sweat, raised their eyes to look at the plaster flag fluttering in the wind on the city gate building, reached out and took off the Dezao 20 pistol pinned to their waists, and handed it to Meng Mancang, who was carrying a dung basket behind him: "Clean it up!" Tianliu, the weapons you brought will also be handed over to Mancang for safekeeping, and you will talk about it after passing the devil sentry at the city gate! ”
Reaching out and touching the twenty-shot pistol of Dezao pinned to his waist, and then looking at the manure picked up all the way from the dung basket that Meng Mancang was carrying, Mo Tianliu shook his head without hesitation: "This is too buried...... Put a handful of household goods in the manure, and hold it in the back with a smell of cow dung, which makes you feel uncomfortable! Big boss, you don't care about me, I have a trick! ”
straightened his face, and the chestnut group looked at Mo Tianliu, who looked indifferent, and said, "Tianliu, this is not something that can be messed around!" If the devil finds out that you have a weapon on you, not only will you be in danger, but the task of getting medicine will also be delayed......"
Before the chestnut group finished speaking, Mo Tianliu had already pulled out the twenty-shot Dezao pistol pinned to his waist, and bared his teeth at Sha Bangcui, who was standing beside the chestnut group: "Stick mallet, do you remember the abandoned garden that sticks to the root of the wall?" ”
Nodding stunnedly, Sha Bangcui replied angrily: "How can you not remember?" Every time you get into trouble in Qingle County, you go to the abandoned garden, raise your hand and throw the objects from the pit in people's hands over the gap in the city wall......"
As if to prove that Mo Tianliu had indeed done such a thing, Sha Bangcui stretched out his hand and pointed to a scar on his head that was more than an inch long: "Last time, you got two jars of sesame oil from a restaurant in Qingle County, and asked the people in the restaurant to chase after you, so you threw those two jars of sesame oil outside regardless of it, and you didn't even say hello!" Fortunately, my head is strong, and if someone else smashes the jar, I'm afraid I'll have to smash it and faint immediately, where can I think of catching the second jar thrown out......."
With a twist of his neck, Mo Tianliu shouted at Sha Bangcui in a heartfelt voice: "Didn't I tell you everything, I'm going to a restaurant in the city to get back the sesame oil that their shopkeeper cheated from our village?" Let you answer outside the city wall, you find a grass nest and sleep, are you embarrassed to say me?! Wasted a jar of good sesame oil in vain, and sprinkled it all on your head......"
As he spoke, Mo Tianliu stuffed his twenty rings of virtue into Sha Bangcui's arms: "This time you have to be smart!" Standing outside the gap in the city wall, I heard me shouting at you in the abandoned garden inside the city wall, and you threw the gun over again, did you understand?! ”
Nodding sullenly, Sha Bangcui took the Twenty Rings of Dezao that Mo Tianliu had stuffed into his arms, looked into his clothes, turned his head and walked towards a path leading to the edge of the city wall. Seeing Sha Bangcui striding away, Mo Tianliu turned his head and bared his teeth towards the chestnut group: "Big boss, let's go now?" ”
Nodding slightly, Li Ziqun and Mo Tianliu walked side by side towards the county gate. And Meng Mancang, who hid his weapon in the dung basket behind the two, walked along the road unhurriedly with a dung basket on his back after the two of them walked far away, looking like an ordinary dung farmer.
Seeing that there were many pedestrians on the road leading to the city gate who were about to enter the city before the city gate was closed, and then looking at a few Imperial Alliance soldiers and two Japanese soldiers who were blocking pedestrians at the city gate, the chestnut group turned his head and whispered to Mo Tianliu who was walking beside him: "Tianliu, calm down, don't panic!" At this time, it is the time when the people who are rushing into the city will gather together, and it is estimated that those imperial alliance troops will not seriously investigate! But what if ......"
Nodding his head in understanding, Mo Tianliu also said in a thin voice: "Big boss, you still speak with a bit of a stranger's accent, in case it is a careful investigation of those soldiers in the Imperial Army, you will say that it is my distant relative, who has lost the capital by doing business, so I came to my house to help work, beg for a bite to eat, and then borrow a few money to return to my hometown when the wheat is ripe!" ”
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the chestnut group laughed in a low voice: "Tianliu, it seems that you have long thought about what tricks to fool these devils and the Imperial Army?" ”
Glancing at the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who blocked the road at the gate of the city to check the pedestrians, Mo Tianliu snorted in a low voice: "I have joined the Imperial Association Army to serve as a soldier to eat food, and nine times out of ten they are prodigal idlers and ruffians near the left of Qingle County. I already have a score in my heart to deal with them! Big boss, if those soldiers of the Imperial Association are really looking for right and wrong and looking for trouble for a while, don't talk too much, I'll just support it! ”
In the whispered conversation, Mo Tianliu and the group of chestnuts had already reached the end of the queue of pedestrians waiting to enter the city. Stretched out his head to look at a few soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who took the opportunity to take the opportunity of the inspection to take out some money from the pockets of pedestrians and scavenge some melons and vegetables on their picks, and then looked at the two Japanese soldiers who were standing in the hole of the city gate with fierce faces to monitor the movements of the soldiers of the Imperial Assistance Army, Mo Tianliu swallowed his saliva and moistened his throat, pinched out a hoarse male duck and shouted: "After checking them one by one, I'm afraid that the city gate will be closed after dark, and more than half of the big guys are still outside the city?" I said that a few officials are all from the township, and they should take care of it under their hands, so don't be so serious, right? ”
As soon as the words came out, the pedestrians who were blocked by a few soldiers of the Imperial Association Army guarding the city gate were suddenly stirred up!
Most of the pedestrians who want to enter the city before closing the city gate are all merchants in Qingle County who have purchased account houses and associates, as well as the family members of some large families, and many people who are in a hurry and need to go into the city to handle it. Hurriedly walked to the gate of the city, already with a dry mouth, tired and weak legs, seeing that the door of the house was in front of him, but he called a few fox fake tiger blocking dogs to block the way, and he already had three points of anger in his heart.
Seeing those soldiers of the Imperial Association Army snatching some benefits from time to time, the resentment in his heart swelled even more. I heard someone talking openly, and many pedestrians who were blocked at the gate of the city opened their voices and shouted at the soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army: "Several officials, several of us are all guys from the old Houde Garden in Qingle County, and the fruits and vegetables we buy are also worthless, and the guests in the city are still waiting for the banquet in the city at night?" Help, raise your hand, allow us to advance to the city? Master Xu invited the distinguished guest tonight, but the deputy of your Imperial Cooperative Army Security Brigade wants to congratulate him on his housewarming!? ”
"The boss is good, he walked from Gongnan County to Qingle County for two days, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and he was in a hurry to go to Qingle County to find relatives and report the news! The old man in the family is dying of illness, so he is waiting to find his son back to see him for the last time......"
"Hua Xiaojiu, I'm your second uncle who didn't come out of five suits! When you were a child, I hugged you and bought you food! Now that you've grown up, you wear a shirt and carry a gun to eat food, so you don't recognize your relatives, do you? ”
In the midst of the chaotic shouting, the pedestrians blocking the city gate consciously or unconsciously rushed towards the city gate, and in a blink of an eye, they were crowded into a pile in front of the city gate hole. Seeing that the scene was about to be chaotic, two Japanese soldiers who were standing in the city gate hole and monitoring the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army suddenly pulled the bolt of their guns, and pointed their guns at the pedestrians who were rushing towards the city gate hole, and several soldiers of the Imperial Association Army also pretended to take off the big guns on their shoulders, and pulled the bolts and scolded indiscriminately: "Looking for death?!" If anyone dares to run forward, they will be killed! ”
"Who dare to stir up trouble?! The bullets of the Imperial Army are not long-sighted......."
Facing the muzzle of the black hole, the crowd surging forward couldn't help but stagnate, causing everyone to push and shove the few people in front of the crowd and shouted urgently: "Don't squeeze indiscriminately in the back!" Ghost...... The Imperial Army is really shooting! ”
Pulling the arm of the chestnut group, Mo Tianliu had already squeezed to the left side of the city gate cave while the crowd was surging, but at this moment he shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't mess up!" Don't let these officials really shoot....... It is better to listen to the tribe of the rulers to go into the city and go home a little later than to have someone carry them home! ”
Shouting loudly in his mouth, Mo Tianliu dragged the group of chestnuts and squeezed in front of the pile, and bowed at a few imperial allies with horizontal eyebrows very flatteringly: "Several officials, we are all honest villagers, let's not make trouble...... Tell the official, I got the order of the deputy of the security team of the Imperial Cooperative Army to renovate a new room of furniture for his house......"
Looking up and down at Mo Tianliu, who nodded vigorously at him, and then looked at the group of chestnuts beside Mo Tianliu, a soldier of the Imperial Association Army who was blocking the hole in the city gate shouted at Mo Tianliu in disbelief: "Renovate a new room for our team?" What village are you from? ”
With a flattering smile on his face, Mo Tianliu responded respectfully: "Nearly ten miles and eight townships to the left of Qingle County, there are stonemasons in Nianzi Village and Dishui Village to make tofu, but if you want to talk about carpenters, you have to count our ink fountains!" ”
"You two are carpenters at the fountain shop? Since it's going out to carry work, why don't you even bring the carpenter to eat? ”
"The official should know that the carpenter of the ink fountain shop came out to carry the work, and he always painted the sample with his palm, and then asked the master to order what materials to use, and then returned to the village to make furniture and send it. Today's entry into the city is to do that palm-eyed thing, and the family that eats is this pair of eyes! ”
"That's a lot of nonsense! Come and have a body search! ”
Obediently raising his hands above his head, Mo Tianliu and Li Ziqun let the two Imperial Association soldiers search their bodies indiscriminately, and then they were put into the city gate amid the scolding and scolding shouts of the Imperial Association soldiers who did not have a little oil and water. Before the two of them could walk far from the hole in the city gate, a muffled curse from a soldier of the Imperial Association Army came from behind them: "Damn! I'm almost done with this job, but I met a manure picker...... This smell can stink for half a night, hurry up! ”
Turning his head to look at Meng Mancang, who had also walked out of the city gate hole, the chestnut group said in Mo Tianliu's ear: "Tianliu, how do you know that the deputy of the security team of the Imperial Association Army is going to renovate a room of furniture?" ”
Grinning very proudly, Mo Tianliu squeezed his eyes towards the chestnut group: "Didn't you hear someone shouting, saying that you want to celebrate the housewarming of the deputy of the Imperial Association Army Security Regiment?" As far as these bastards who are officials in the Imperial Association Army, if they want to live in a good house, they have always wanted to squeeze people into a desperate house, so it is good that a big son occupies other people's houses without spending money. When you move into a new house, it's natural to want to renovate a new room with new furniture! I said that the big boss, now it's time to eat, let's go all the way to the water and rice without teeth, and when the mallet is taken into the city, let's find a place to fight the tooth sacrifice first? ”
Looking up and down at Mo Tianliu's somewhat treacherous smile, the chestnut group couldn't help but smile in surprise: "Tianliu, what kind of idea do you have?!" ”
"Big boss, this trick can't be broken, and it won't work...... You have to trust me, we can have wine and meat for this meal tonight, and maybe we can eat the whole table! ”
"Tianliu, we have the task of finding medicine for the villagers in Dawu Village, we can't be child's play! After a while, we will get on the mallet, and we will go straight to the Fuyuan Medicine. Being able to get life-saving medicine earlier is better than anything else! ”
"That'....... The big boss, the left and right are just going to the abandoned garden to pick up the mallet thrown over, you don't have to follow me to grind the soles of your shoes, right? You and Lao Meng wait for me here for a while, and I'll come when I go......"
Without waiting for the chestnut group to say anything more, Mo Tianliu turned his head and went straight to a deserted narrow alley next to the city gate, and ran away with oil on the soles of his feet......
