Gui Si is a strange person in the eyes of the locals, although he has only started the first day of work, because he clearly explained to his employer that he only does half a day of work every day, but he is guaranteed to do a lot more than other porters, winter is the off-season for business, so the employer does not care much, but I didn't expect that Gui Si really transported the amount of other people's one day to transport, and he had to leave after lunch.

The employer was very happy to meet such a coolie, only gave half a day's wages and saved a dinner, but the amount of goods was a lot, the mood was like picking up a gold ingot, and specially told Gui Si not to go to other silk shops, he could take care of him more, Gui Si replied that I don't know how long I will do it, and left the shop without saying a word.

After lunch, Gui Si began to inquire about Shen Leng's news, and gradually found out that Shen Leng was actually a celebrity, and it was not very difficult to find out Shen Leng's residence, not to mention the vicinity of the water division, even the name Shen Leng in the entire Anyang County was loud enough and was already known as a legend.

It didn't take long for Gui Si to arrive in Wei Village, and at the entrance of the village he chatted with an old man who smoked a dry cigarette, and the lonely and bored old man liked to chat with strangers, especially this kind of stranger who was willing to listen to him talk more.

So it only took a stick of incense to inquire about where Shen Leng lived, but he didn't dare to rush to the door, because he knew that Shen Leng was definitely not the kind of hairy boy he told his subordinates.

can be promoted to the general of the fifth rank so quickly, how can he be incompetent.

"General Shen will go back to our Wei Village to live for four days every special holiday, I saw him when I came back a few days ago, and I think I will go back to the water division tomorrow, I sit at the entrance of this village every day People who come and go can see it, if nothing else, General Shen will leave the village early tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow?"

He was a little nervous, he didn't expect to find Shen Leng so quickly, and the sudden news made his palms become wet.

"Isn't General Shen particularly powerful?"

"That's natural, this water bandit on the Nanping River can pee his pants in fright when he hears General Shen's name, and it is rumored that the Qiuli people outside the southern border are extremely vicious and vicious like black apes drinking blood, and they are not the crying father and mother who were beaten by our General Shen in the south next time."

Most lonely old people like to show off their knowledge, just to relieve loneliness.

"That's ......"

Gui Si asked again: "General Shen's martial arts are amazing. ”

"Of course, I've seen General Shen kill water bandits with my own eyes, and he killed seven or eight by himself...... No, dozens of them were killed. ”

"Uncle, how can you see him killing water bandits when you sit at the entrance of the village all day?"

"I ...... I've seen it anyway. ”

Gui Si looked around, there is a small road out of the village to go about two or three miles, on the left is a barren grassland, the width is one mile and the narrow place is dozens of meters, along the Nanping River meandering, go two or three miles away and go to the official road to the water division.

On the right side of the path, out of the village is a forest, not dense, a few years ago, the big trees near the camp built by the sailor were cut down, only a small tree that is not mature remains, but it is enough to hide.

Gui Si's gaze circled around, and returned to the lonely old man: "Uncle, when does General Shen usually return to the water division?" Did you get out of the village in the morning? ”

"I won't wait until dawn, I can see him every time."

"Why?"

"I'm bored at home alone, I'm older and I sleep late and wake up early, and after waking up, the home is deserted, and I feel warmer when I look at the sunrise on the river."

The old man smiled, and his smile was bitter.

Ji Si stood up: "Thank you, uncle, you can rest, I will come over to accompany you later." ”

The old man watched Gui Si leave, and said in his heart that young people like to lie, and his son and daughter-in-law also said that they would come back often every time, and it was not that they couldn't see anyone for a whole month.

It's just that I didn't expect that about an hour and a half later, Gui Si really came back, carrying a big package, and carrying a roast chicken, some side dishes, and two pots of wine.

He put the package beside him, opened the oil paper wrapped in roast chicken, and handed the old man a pot of wine: "Let's drink two glasses." ”

The old man immediately came to his senses, he was not poor, his son and daughter-in-law put down a lot of money every time they came back, and they would not worry about eating, but drinking by himself and drinking with someone were two feelings.

The taste of roast chicken is average, and the wine is not as good as peanuts.

Luckily, there are peanuts too.

The two of them used roast chicken, peanuts and moonlight to accompany the wine, and drank two pots, the old man was a little dizzy and felt satisfied, so he invited Gui Si to sleep in his own house, and the strangers came here and there was no place to stay.

He shook his head and looked at the moon and said, "I won't sleep tonight, I may sleep for a long time in the future." ”

He took out a cloth bag from the package and put it in the place where the old man often sit: "If you come out early tomorrow morning to watch the sunrise, help me give this thing to General Shen, I also want to join the army." ”

The old man said in his heart that it was no wonder, he was expecting me to go through the back door, but it was okay, I couldn't drink a pot of wine in vain.

He leaned against the wall and staggered back to his house on crutches, forgetting to ask why he didn't give me the things now.

Gui Si sat alone at the entrance of the village and watched the moon pass another hour, the night was already very deep, even if Jiangnan Road was not as cold as the north, the night in this winter was just as cold and couldn't stay up, Gui Si rubbed his hands and felt that the time was almost up, so he stood up with the package and walked to the side of the path, at this moment he felt that the riverside scenery was also good, and he was in the mood to take a closer look at which side was better, it was good to insert a wooden sign as a tombstone, but who was to insert a card for himself?

The next day, before dawn, the old man woke up, and felt as if he had promised someone something last night, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that he put on thick clothes and went out on crutches, and saw the cloth bag in the place where he often sat at the entrance of the village, and said that the stranger's heart was really big, and he was not afraid of losing it.

He sat on the wall of the house and held the cloth bag in his arms, put his hands into his sleeves and looked at the riverbank, calculating that it would not be long before the river began to turn red, even in winter, he could see the sunrise and the river flowers were red.

He suddenly thought that he should not make a mistake, because the pot of wine seemed to wake up later than usual, and he was afraid that General Shen had already left the village, so he felt that the cloth bag he was holding in his arms had become a little heavier.

At this time, I heard the voices of two people laughing, although it was still far away, the old man could hear that one was General Shen and the other was the young man surnamed Chen, who seemed to be General Shen's good brother.

"Amber, don't come out so early next time, it's winter, it's easy to have problems when you are older, hide in the warm quilt and lie down for a while, and then go out after you get up."

When the old man heard Shen Leng's voice, he felt that his heart warmed: "General Shen is early, you don't understand that we old guys are actually not warm in the bed. ”

Chen Ran said with a smile: "Amber, your old man is not old-hearted, is it a person who is not warm in the bed, the kind of nephrite jade is warm and fragrant." ”

"Chen Tuanshu, what you said, you are powerless."

Shen Leng kicked Chen Ran lightly on the buttocks: "It's not big, it's not small." ”

Chen Ran jumped away with a smile: "It's Amber who is young, and I always think Amber is younger than me." ”

The old man smiled and leaned back, and the wrinkles on his face were stretched out a lot.

"General Shen, someone asked me to give this thing to you, it's a foreigner...... He said that he also wanted to join the army, and he guessed that it was not good for him to go over and give you gifts, and he asked me about you, so he asked me to give you things. ”

Shen Leng glanced at the cloth bag: "What's his name?" ”

"What's it called?"

The old man was stunned: "I forgot to ask." ”

Shen Leng took the cloth bag and threw it into the distance, at this moment, a crossbow arrow shot towards Shen Leng, Shen Leng retreated and pushed Chen Ran away at the same time: "Send Amber home!" ”

The second crossbow arrow came soon, this time it was for the cloth bag, Shen Leng was a few meters away from the cloth bag, so he could only watch as the arrow was shot, and the cloth bag exploded with a bang, and countless powders flew out inside.

Shen Leng immediately tore off a piece of his clothes and covered his mouth and nose, but there was already an unpleasant smell that had penetrated into his nose.

"What a taste."

Chen Ran just picked up Amber on his back, shook his body a few times and threw himself forward.

Shen Leng frowned and pulled out the black line knife from behind his back.

The third crossbow arrow was shot, and Shen Leng split the crossbow arrow with a knife and saw the direction of the crossbow arrow clearly, so he rushed forward, and just took a step The fourth arrow arrived, and shot next to the position where Amber often sits, where the soil was turned over, and something was buried underneath.

There was a bang, something exploded again, and the powder burst out, and Shen Leng only felt dizzy in his head.

The black line knife in his hand became heavier and heavier, and he felt a little unable to lift it.

Whoosh whoosh ...... This time it was a five-arrow shot, and the crossbow arrows were extremely accurate, one arrow ran to Shen Leng's throat, one arrow ran to his face, one arrow went to his heart, and two arrows seemed to force Shen Leng to hide in one direction.

Shen Leng swept out a little under his feet to the side, five crossbow arrows nailed to the ground, Shen Leng felt empty when he landed, although his head was getting more and more groggy, he still reacted immediately, pulled out the scabbard of the small hunting knife and pressed it, the iron claws popped out and grabbed a tree not far away, Shen Leng jumped away with his strength, and under his feet was a dug trap, which was covered with a thin layer of soil and weeds.

It's not yet dark, so if you don't pay attention, you won't be able to tell the difference.

On the tree more than twenty meters away, Qi Si frowned slightly, he couldn't kill Shen Leng in this way beyond his expectations, the steps were all in his prediction, he was the best at killing people with these means, although he rarely used it with Pei Xiao over the years, he didn't forget every day on the rivers and lakes.

Shen Leng jumped out of the trap with the help of the scabbard, and before he landed, an iron feather arrow had already been shot, not a crossbow arrow, faster, heavier and more ruthless, Shen Leng seemed to be impossible to avoid in this state.

Shen Leng did react much slower, he could only barely lift the black line knife to block his chest, and the iron feather arrow shot at the black line knife with a bang, and the huge force made Shen Leng fall backwards.

The moment Shen Leng fell to the ground, the second iron feather arrow flew in, he flipped to the side, the iron feather arrow poked into the ground with a pop, and the soil picked up hit Shen Leng with some pain on his face.

There was also a small but slightly sharp stone mixed in the soil, and a shallow blood mark was scratched on Shen Leng's forehead.

Shen Leng wanted to stand up on the ground, but his body became weaker and weaker, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

He vaguely saw a man in black jumping down from a tree not far away, carrying a knife and walking quickly towards him, and then his vision became even more blurred.
