Chapter Twenty-Nine: Retreat to the Western Regions

Suddenly, three crisp gunshots rang out in the distance. Before Huang Xing could react, Ma Biao beside him had already planted the horse. The first two riders also fell off their horses. Huang Xing instinctively rolled off the horse and hid in the side of the horse. Years of experience have taught him that at a distance of two hundred meters, there are at least three snipers, and all of them are masters.

He gently removed his top hat and pulled out the barge gun at his waist. With the barrel of the gun against the hat, slowly raise the horse's head. As soon as I heard a "bang", the hat flew to the ground. This time, with a wisp of green smoke, he determined that the gunman was hiding on the dirt hill opposite. From here, to say the least, it is 200 meters.

Such a long distance, and such a precise shot. Huang Xing has encountered it for the first time since he walked the dart. Moreover, there are three of them. He knew in his heart that he had encountered a hard stubble today.

No one here will be alive as long as they show their heads. He bowed down from under the horse's belly and looked at Ma Biao, who had fallen to the ground. The head was pierced with a pair of eyes, and it was flowing red and white. The leopard's eyes were wide open, and there was no trace of vitality in his body. Four fell in front, and the rest hid behind the carriage, not daring to show their heads.

Huang Xing was about to shout in front of him to tell everyone to hide and not move, when two more gunshots rang out on the mountain. The bullet was hitting the underbelly of the car in front. Suddenly, the slag flew, and the frightened horse suddenly pulled the cart and galloped forward. Several cars in the back also followed. In this way, the people hiding behind the car were left in the open. Huang Xing hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and get down!" Before the words fell, only a few gunshots were heard, and the three people who were hanging in the bright place fell to the ground almost at the same time. In all directions, the silence of death was restored.

Huang Xing's heart jerked: Do you want to go to this place where rabbits don't today? Huang Xing, with his legs in line with the horse's front hooves, turned sideways and observed the surrounding terrain. As soon as I turned around, I saw that not far away, someone got up from the ground, trembling. Run towards a carriage not far away.

Seeing this, Huang Xing rushed over with an arrow, hugged the man, and rolled into the shallow ditch on the side of the road. At the moment when he turned around, a gunshot rang out. A bullet easily pierced the thigh. Huang Xing held back the pain and yelled at the man, "Don't die!" ”

The man wept and muttered, "My goods...... My goods. ”

Huang Xing took out the first-aid kit from his backpack and simply bandaged the wound. He yelled angrily: "What's the use of asking for goods when people are gone?" ”

The man didn't say anything, but plunged into the artemisia bushes, digging his ass, and howling.

Huang Xing bandaged the wound and carefully climbed to the top of the ditch. Hidden behind a clump of sagebrush, he looked in the direction of the dirt mountain on the opposite side, observing the movement.

I saw a stream of loess, rising from the opposite mountain col. In the blink of an eye, three fast horses rushed towards this direction. Huang Xing knew that these three were here to explore the way, and if there was no resistance, the team behind would rush in.

Huang Xing quickly pulled out his pistol, and when the three horses were only ten steps away from him, he raised his hand and "dang, dang, dang" three shots passed. The man on the horse fell to the ground in response. Huang Xing rolled to the foot of his horse, pulled the reins of the horse, and tumbled down the shallow ditch.

Huang Xing knew that with the three shots he had just made, the people on the other side would not dare to rush down easily for a while. This is the perfect time for him to step out.

He saw the man under the ditch, still digging his buttocks, and shaking like a swing there. With the barrel of the gun, he poked him lightly in the buttocks, and said, "Hurry up and get on the horse!" ”

The man first froze, turned his head, and glanced at Huang Xing hesitantly before he got up from the ground in a hurry. Huang Xing stretched out his hand and dragged the man onto the horse, and hurried away along the shallow ditch.

The chaotic sound of horses' hooves, like a drunken man beating a drum, floated from behind him. Huang Xing didn't pay attention to it, and under the cover of the shallow ditch, he walked forward in the face of the sun that was about to set.

The sun finally melted on the earthy mountain, where no grass grows. The top of the mountain, which was originally a red yellow, was dyed with different shades of red. Even the few wisps of white clouds floating in the sky are stained with beautiful colors. The earth has returned to a deathly silence, and if it weren't for the occasional cricket call, I really wouldn't have felt it, and there was life here.

At this time, Huang Xing was hungry and thirsty. Coupled with the fact that there was a lot of blood on his legs, it was a bit shaky to ride on the horse. He mustered himself up and pounded it with his elbow, and the man behind him, who was still whimpering, said, "Ah! Stop crying! Now that it's getting dark, where are we going? I'm not familiar with this place. ”

The man cried and said in a half-dead voice, "Just follow this road, and there is a carriage shop in front of you." ”

The moon, just climbing up the treetops, a late returning crow, the cry of "quack", pierced the cold silence. Not far ahead, a dim lantern faintly illuminated the outline of a house.

When he saw the light, the man seemed to come to life. In a sad voice, he said with a little excitement: "Where there is a light in front, it is the carriage and horse shop." ”

A bowl of hot noodles fell into his stomach, and Huang Xing was considered to be energetic. The man asked for an upper room for two people to live in, and Huang Xing asked for a pot of wine, cleaned the wound, applied the ancestral knife medicine of Master Ma Lao, and bandaged it. The two of them just had a plate of peanuts and two catties of beef.

That person was the shopkeeper Yao.

Shopkeeper Yao is greedy for money and stingy by nature, and every time he has to go to Turpan to buy goods in person, and then, in order to save a few dollars, he always does not ask someone to escort the dart alone, but follows the dart. With the dart is that the goods are escorted by the owner himself, but with the dart team. In this way, you can give less money to the dart board, but if the goods are missing, the dart board is not responsible.

After three glasses of wine, Shopkeeper Yao talked more. It seems that there is also a bit of arrogance. He repeatedly thanked Huang Xing for saving his life and invited Huang Xing to his home to recuperate from his injuries. Huang Xingxing didn't say anything at first, but when he saw Yao's shopkeeper later, he was also sincere. So, he returned a glass of wine to Shopkeeper Yao and said, "Since I was injured in Shopkeeper Yao's realm, and you are enthusiastic, I have no choice but to disturb it." ”

Seeing Huang Xing's agreement, Shopkeeper Yao was relieved, sighed for a long time, and said with a small smile: "What do you say to bother or not, you are my savior." In the future, we will be a family, and we will be brothers. ”

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Yao's expression suddenly darkened again. Crying with a sad face, he muttered: "It's a pity to have a cart of goods and a trailer for carriage." ”

Huang Xing hurriedly persuaded: "It's a blessing that you can live." According to yesterday's posture, the outcrop is a death. I'm afraid that only the two of us are still alive. The way that gang is to leave no one alive. Are you afraid that you won't be able to get the goods in the future? ”

Shopkeeper Yao still said with a sad face: "I have been doing it for nothing for two years. ”

When Huang Xing heard this, he smiled at him and said, "What is two years?" According to your age, the days will be long in the future, even if it is a ruin to avoid disaster. ”

People always say that you have to fight against fate. In the end, they were all ravaged by the magical whirlpool of fate.

After several changes in life and death, Huang Xing's temperament is no longer as impetuous as before. He needs to rest, he needs to think, he needs time, to soothe his heart that is still faintly bleeding.

Time is really like an arrow, and unconsciously, Huang Xing has been at Yao's house for three months. With Ma Lao's golden medicine, Huang Xing's gunshot wound has basically healed.

Autumn evenings are pleasantly cool. Huang Xing changed into a short shirt and tried to practice his fists and feet under the big elm tree in the middle of the courtyard. As the saying goes: the fist does not leave the hand, and the song does not leave the mouth. But whoever practices the family, no matter how busy he is, he must practice his muscles and bones, otherwise his fists and feet will be rusty. Even the muscles in my body felt uncomfortable. During this period of time, he was stuffy in the house, but Huang Xing was suffocated.

So, he tried to hurt his leg with a lot of force, and it felt okay. He let go of his fists and feet, and moved like a cloud. The fist style provoked the sparrows in the trees, and they were also whispering.

Juanzi was originally, taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not dark, and it was good to sleep in the thatched house. saw Huang Xing practicing boxing. Rigidity and softness successively, continuous and smooth boxing, deeply attracted Juanzi. I forgot what I was here for. Standing obsessively in the distance, until Huang Xing put away his fist and entered the house. She woke up like a dream and hurried towards the thatched house.

Juanzi turned to the side, tossing and turning like a pancake all night, almost not closing her eyes. The power of excitement made her hot and dry, without a hint of sleepiness - she finally had a chance to learn boxing.

Since she was a child, she has envied Hu Sanniang in the Water Margin, and the heroines such as the thirteenth sister of the chivalrous girl. Her dream of being a chivalrous woman is about to come true.

Early in the morning of the second day, Juanzi blocked her father's door. dragged his father and mysteriously came to his house. As if begging for more like an order, he shouted that he wanted to learn boxing from Master Huang. It made Yao's shopkeeper cry and laugh. He's a baby girl, and she's a baby when she's a child. was naughty and mischievous, and went to the house to uncover the tiles, and he didn't get it out of his feet several times. Now, which tendon is misplaced and wants to learn boxing. I really want to come out, it's a place.

Shopkeeper Yao also knew in his heart that he couldn't beat his daughter. What she wants to do, if she doesn't follow her, she will think of ways to trouble you. If you don't toss you to death, it's not over. Besides, boxing is a chore. The girl is a fresh, three-and-a-half-day heat. So, he happily agreed to her request.

After breakfast, Shopkeeper Yao beckoned Huang Xing to the living room. first asked about his injury, and planned to say that he would ask him to teach his daughter martial arts. But before he could speak, Juanzi rushed into the house from outside the door, "poof", and knelt down in front of Huang Xing. He said earnestly, "Master! Teach me boxing! ”

Huang Xing glanced at Shopkeeper Yao in amazement, and Shopkeeper Yao looked helpless, and said that Juanzi was talking about practicing martial arts. At the end, he sighed, shook his head and said, "I really have nothing to do with her, why don't I ask Master Huang to teach her a trick and a half?" ”

Huang Xing didn't answer immediately. He smiled, stared at Juanzi and asked, "Why do you want to practice martial arts?" ”

When Juanzi heard that, her chest was straight, and without any timidity, she opened a pair of beautiful almond eyes and said, "I want to be a chivalrous woman, kill the rich and help the poor!" ”

Huang Xing nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" There is arrogance, I will accept your apprentice. ”

Before the words fell, Xiangzi rushed into the door like a whirlwind, and "poof" knelt in front of Huang Xing and said; "Master! I'm going to learn too! ”

said, "Tom, tom, tom" kowtowed to Huang Xing three times in a row. Huang Xing said happily: "Okay, okay, get up!" Both took it. ”

Since then, Huang Xing not only has two beloved apprentices, but also sowed two beneficial seeds for his future revolutionary career.
