Chapter 4 Honor (4 B)

"Five hundred miles. How is that possible. It's five hundred miles to Duolun." In addition to the traffic officer Lao He. Almost all local cadres exclaimed. Before leaving. They had heard of the prestige of the Blackstone guerrillas in the military division headquarters. But I couldn't believe it anyway. The team is definitely the last in terms of size in the military division. The influence is so great. A radius of 500 miles. Wouldn't that include the little half of Chahar? To know. Even the Japanese devils. I don't dare to say that my banner is taken out anywhere on the grassland in Chabei, and someone will recognize it.

The vendors looked cowering one by one. Heard someone dare to question Redbeard. But they all turned their faces immediately. Pointing at the noses of Tang Renli and others. Angrily counted." Don't believe in pulling down. Whoever is idle hurts to coax you to play."

"Hey. You people. How to grow eyes to the ass. Changed to previous years. Can this road be as peaceful as it is now?"

"What the hell? Be kind enough to teach you to be a good one. You still think we're fooling you. There's that kung fu. I'll lie down in the car and squint for a while, okay."

The face of the number of people is red and the ears are red. The local cadres hurriedly explained with a dry smile. You. Don't be angry. We. Haven't we walked this path before?"

"So which way did you go before? It's not all raw melons and eggs." The foot traders pinched Tang Renli and several local cadres with their eyelids. A few hints of suspicion gradually sprung up on his face.

A young master who believes in foreign religion. A dozen or so old guys who don't understand bullshit plus can't speak human words. In the past, everyone didn't look carefully. What do you think now? They don't think they're serious businessmen. If it's a spy sent by the little devils........

The hearts of the people were tightened. Instinctively, he distanced himself from Tang Renli and the others. A few young and strong men even quietly put their hands on their waists. Just wait for the other party to reveal their true colors. Pull out the pistol for self-defense. Fight a fish to die and break the net.

The traffic officer Lao He saw this. Hurry up and squeeze between the vendors and local officials. Round with a smiling face." Don't be upset with a few old guests. We definitely don't mean to disrespect Redbeard's old man. We used to follow the path of the Five Plains. Not very familiar with this side. In recent springs, I heard from fellow villagers that the business of the line of Heishizhai has picked up. I tentatively came over and walked around. Didn't think about the reason for the warming of this line. It's all thanks to that red. Master Redbeard."

"It's still a human saying." The vendors will be skeptical. But see how respectful the old man is. also put away the desperate thoughts for the time being.

"I have never seen the world. I haven't seen the world. Cheer everyone up." Lao He made two more amends one after another. Then he pushed Xiao Han, the local cadre closest to him, hard. Shout at you." What are you doing in a daze? Hurry ahead and get there. So that you don't talk nonsense. Just don't listen. I just don't listen."

After scolding Xiao Han. went to pull another local cadre, Lao Zhang. Accidentally. but knocked over a bamboo basket on the carriage. The groceries such as head flowers, thimbles, and clam oil in the basket fell off most of the car with a "bang".

This is down. The misunderstanding was finally cleared up. I don't often run back and forth begging for a living. No one will know that the head flower, thimble, clam oil and the like have long been rotten in the Central Plains. When it comes to the mouth, it never worries about sales. It won't be clear that these miscellaneous things are worth much money on the surface. But it is the easiest to return to the cost of pressing the box goods. Even if it was robbed by bandits. As long as there are no casualties. Such goods are usually not lost. The bandits are used to slaughtering fat sheep. I didn't have the heart to snatch these needles and threads and sell them from town to town.

"It's stupid. Don't hurry up and pack it up." The traffic officer Lao He scolded a few words in a big way. Finally, with the full cooperation of the cadres. barely dispelled the suspicions of fellow traders.

Nevertheless. The atmosphere of harmony before. I still can't keep it up. Including several old people who had previously dismissed "Tang Dashao" as elders. They all quietly moved their carriages forward and backward. Try not to get too close to the "Tang family caravan". The traffic officer saw this. I had no choice but to accept the status quo. And secretly told the cadres again. No more questioning is allowed to be heard from any bizarre claims. so as not to be excluded by improvised brigades. Take the risks of the unknown on your journey alone.

He doesn't want to get in trouble. Trouble got into trouble. Around two o'clock in the afternoon. Just when everyone was drowsy from the sun. Diagonally in front of the sky. Suddenly hundreds of colorful wild birds flew over. Hula over everyone's heads. Screaming and fleeing farther away.

"Not good. Hurry up and stop .." Lao Qiu, who was temporarily elected by the traders as the leader of the entire caravan, saw this. Immediately raise your arms high." Forming a circle. The cart is outside. The trolley is inside. If you have a guy in your waist, hurry up and load your bullets."

"Boom." Ground bang. The traders are like a herd of cattle under threat. Almost all the young and strong guys. I took out the guy style out of my waist. There are the most popular box cannons in Chinese folk. There were powder guns with three barrels. There is also the Japanese Wanghachi box. Numerous. Varied.

The veterans of the car are helping each other. Connect the bulky carriages end to end. Lined up in a huge circle. Large livestock, people, and donkey carts that are easily pulled away. All of them were locked up in the circle. I didn't wait for everyone to finish their work. The same direction from which the flock of birds came. There has been a large number of people. The brawny man in front wrapped his head in a red cloth. Each hand holds a box cannon. Three shots were fired into the air first. Then rush to a position about 100 meters away from the car formation. He opened his throat and shouted, "The mountains don't turn around. Trees don't go in the wind. Friends on the other side. What gust of wind brought you to my door?"

"Quickly plant the red flag. They are horse thieves passing by." Lao Qiu, the chief leader of the temporary caravan, whispered. Fly and jump onto the edge of a carriage. He bowed respectfully to the man a hundred meters away." Spring breeze to the north. Autumn wind to the south. Follow the wind all year round. I met a friend and said hello. I saw my brother and sat down for a glass of wine. In the lower Hebei time-honored brand Ji Changyuan old guy Qiu Zheng. led seventeen families to carry the burden of begging for the hardships of life haha. Give a salute to the big boss on the other side."

Talking. Again, respectfully and respectfully. The number of courtesies is sufficient.

While Lao Qiu was talking to the horse thief leader. The vendors scrambled to pull out the small red flags in their sleeves. Plugged into the carriage one by one. In total, there were more than forty horse-drawn carts and eleven donkey carts. There were only seventeen red peace flags. It looks sparse. It doesn't make much noise at all.

Even so. The horse thief with the box cannon was still stunned. Put away the box cannon. The horse was driven forward for more than thirty meters. He arched his hand and asked, "You guys. You're going to Crescent Lake."

"Of course." Lao Qiu, whose back shirt was already soaked with sweat, nodded. Respond without hesitation." It's going to be fifteen again. There is a big set on the shore of Crescent Lake this month. We're all bitter haha. I want to join in the market."

"You people are. On the large set on the shore of Crescent Lake. Can you eat so much cargo?" The thief looked at the small red flag in the convoy. Full of suspicion.

Although quite a few guys in the convoy are armed with firearms. But he believes. As long as his forty or so brethren rushed up together. Instantly kill the caravan guys with trembling arms on their backs. However. Those dozen flags like fire. But it's too glaring. Make his gaze stay on the flag every time. My heart twitched hard.

"There are a few old local acquaintances. Stocking up on goods at the bazaar. Then distribute it to the surrounding Menghan villages to sell! In the spring, they made a promise to our host. As soon as the goods arrive at Crescent Lake. They can sell them all." Lao Qiu thought about it. Consider the response." That's why the owner let me find a few more peers this time. Go and deliver it to that side together. It doesn't matter if you make money or not. The key is not to delay what was promised."

"You would say." The horse thief shrugged. Grinning and sneering.

"Hi. Since I was a teenager, I have followed our host on this line. No matter how stupid you are, you can practice it." Lao Qiu didn't seem to be able to hear the mockery in the other party's words. Explain with a smile. Then he reached out and took a blanket from the guy next to him. I looked inside. Laughing and jumping out of the wagon." Our proprietor said it. Everyone can have a bowl of stable rice to eat. It's all up to friends on the road to take care of it. These forty oceans. I can't get enough to buy food. Buy alcohol without getting drunk. Even if you add a cup of tea to the big boss. Please, boss, give us a few faces, no matter what."

"Forty oceans. Are you calling Hanako?" I didn't wait for the horse thief to speak. Behind him, the minions were already clamoring loudly. According to the market of previous years. As long as the caravan is stopped. At least half of the total price of the goods must be set aside as the cost of buying the road. And the caravan in front of him had more than forty carriages alone. Even if it's full of worthless headflowers. The total price is also numbered in the first thousand oceans. Take forty pieces of ocean to buy a road. Where to make friends. It's clearly a naked insult.

I heard the clamor outside the car array. Tang Renli and the others immediately reached into the basket on the car. They're not the ordinary guys around them. Holding the pistol and shivering vigorously. They all have basic military training. You will never be frightened by the dozens of horse thieves on the opposite side and you can't pull the trigger.

Seeing that the two sides are about to fight. The horse thief with two box cannons in his waist was in charge. Suddenly raised his right arm in the air." Shut up for me. I haven't seen any money. What a nonsense yelling."

"Ugh." Don't get dazed, little minions. Open your mouth one by one. Wheezing and panting.

"Since you're going to see Lord Hong. This tea money. I'm not going to take it." It was as if I had made up my mind. The horse thief boss turned his gaze to Lao Qiu again. Said word by word." Wait until the crescent lake. Please also help me bring a message to the red master. Just for the sake of him daring to take the initiative to slap the little devil's big mouth. I, Xihai Xiao Xue, will never make trouble for him. Someday there will be a place where we will have a gust of wind in the western sea. Just send someone to carry a letter. Knife Mountain and Sea of Fire. frowned, Xue was raised by a little girl."
