Chapter 2 (Part I)

A lot of people ran and stumbled in the streets, regardless of whether they were eastern, southern, northern, or western. Everyone cried and shouted for the thieves to enter the city, but no one was sure from which direction the thieves were coming. The two groups of refugees often collided face to face, screaming at each other in fright. When the horror calmed down, he packed up his own soft and followed the footsteps of others to flee in the opposite direction. On the way, they were wrapped in other groups of people, and they were divided again, clumps, clusters, gathered and scattered, like ants that have lost their leaders.

Cheng Mingzhen has no time to care about these people. Under the nest, it is rare to finish the eggs. He had to rush back to his house as soon as possible, lest the bandits get red eyes and hurt the old lady of the family. Many houses along the way were on fire, and the smoke was so thick that tears flowed from people's eyes. In his hazy teary eyes, he saw several black shadows looting around with weapons and torches.

It's some scoundrels fishing in troubled waters! Seeing that there was a slightly more ornate package in the hands of the escape, they immediately surrounded it and snatched it away. Seeing a young woman in the procession, they also flew up like flies and snatched the woman away from her father, brother or husband. No one dared to resist, and the men who were usually regarded as the pillars of the family bowed their heads in humiliation in front of the butcher's knife. The woman was sobbing and sobbing, being pushed around by the scoundrels, her clothes torn and full of holes.

The end of the rebellion is clear in the middle of the street. In the middle of a few pools of blood, the bodies of the two men were still struggling. "Lao Tzu is a striker under the big boss's account, and it is your blessing to take a fancy to your woman!" Zhao Laoer, a well-known gangster leader in Guantao County, held a bloody kitchen knife and loudly announced to the others, his face hideous and unfamiliar. Suddenly, seeing Cheng Mingzhen approaching him with a spear, he hurriedly dropped the kitchen knife and stepped forward with a smile on his face, "Master Nine, when will you come out." Brothers, hurry up and show tonight's harvest to the Ninth Master, and from now on, we will follow the Ninth Master! ”

Hula, all the people who could escape around fled cleanly. A few little hooligans circled the snatched women into a pile, and stepped forward with a large bag and a small wrapper, "Master Cheng, this filial piety to you!" "Ninth Master, look at this!" "Nine ......" Suddenly, the flattering voice was stuck in his throat. They saw the tip of the bright gun coming out of Zhao Laoer's back, and Cheng Mingzhen held the gun with both hands and twisted it hard!

"Ahh The thugs were stunned by the vicious expression on Cheng Mingzhen's face and wanted to escape, but their legs were as soft as two cooked noodles.

In a stunned gaze, Cheng Mingzhen threw away Zhao Laoer's body. The ghost floated towards the other thug. Without waiting for the other party to say the words of pity, the tip of the gun twisted and went straight through the person's chest. Blood spurted out along the edge of the blade, staining the white tassels red. In the light of the fire, he cleanly shook off the second corpse, and went straight to the next thug who came to flatter him.

"Spare your life, Ninth Master!" The thug had a knife in his hand, but he didn't have the courage to lift his arm. Kneel straight in front of the tip of the blood-dripping spear, throat facing the gun. Cheng Mingzhen did not hesitate to move forward and pierced the gangster's neck with a tassel gun. Then he turned around viciously and turned to the next two to take advantage of the fire.

The remaining two thugs of the "Nine ......" finally came to their senses and ran away into the distance. Cheng Mingzhen chased one from behind and stabbed him to the ground. Then he drew his spear and threw it into the distance. The tassel spear leaped twenty paces in blood, catching up with the fleeing thug and pinning him firmly to the ground.

Cheng Mingzhen, who killed five people in a row, was not satisfied, and picked up a chopped firewood knife from the pool of blood. Looking around, there were no more people to kill. The women who had been snatched by the hooligans collapsed to the ground and kowtowed to him repeatedly.

"If you can find a place to hide, hide it quickly!" Unable to explain himself to anyone at the moment, Cheng Ming commanded in a hoarse voice. The women didn't dare to move, but just knelt on the ground and kowtowed and cried. "Quickly hide and smear your faces. He***, no one can save you next time! Cheng Mingzhen was furious and roared at the other party in a hoarse voice. This time, the women finally understood, looked at him suspiciously with teary eyes, and howled even louder.

"What a howl. Get out of here! Cheng Mingzhen was very annoyed by crying and scolded loudly. There was still an old mother at home, and he didn't have time to delay here. hardened his heart and turned away, but the woman's cry was faint and never stopped.

After walking more than thirty steps, he had to slow down again. Zhang Jin said that his minions had no discipline, and if those women were revealed by the minions who had entered the city, the fate would not be much better than falling into the hands of local thugs. "Just accumulate virtue for yourself!" Thinking so, the young man with the knife slowly turned around. But several women stopped in unison, standing not far away and looking at themselves timidly.

"What are you doing with me?" Cheng Mingzhen was angry and funny, and asked with round eyes. The only thing that answered him was sobbing, and the women bowed their heads, their bodies trembling like remnants in the autumn wind.

After all, he has just grown up, and he can't let his blood be completely cold. Looking at the pitiful appearance of the women, Cheng Mingzhen sighed, "If there is really no place to hide, just hide in my house." But I can't promise I'll save you! ”

Several women bowed down one after another, sobbing and walked up to him. After three or five steps, he did not dare to come closer. Cheng Mingzhen didn't have the time to compete with them anymore, shook his head, and continued to walk towards the street where his house was located. Along the way, he was seen by many people who fled for their lives, and all the people he met along the way avoided from afar, and his eyes were full of resentment.

In the firelight and noise, Chengxian Street is extraordinarily peaceful. No people fled for their lives with large bags and small bags, and the entire street was sealed off, and dozens of strong men with green cloth and heads holding torches in one hand and steel knives in the other, stood solemnly at both ends of the street with fierce looks.

Seeing someone approaching here from a distance, the leader of the team immediately threatened viciously, "Get out of the way, don't make trouble for yourself." One step closer, Lao Tzu immediately chopped ......"

The threat was not over yet, and the second half of the sentence had already turned into cheers, "The Ninth Master is back." The Nine Masters are back by themselves! ”

"Who's over there!" Although the fire was very bright, Cheng Mingzhen still couldn't recognize the other party's face. I just feel that the voice is very familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere.

"It's me, Master Nine. I'm Han Shiwang, the one who was saved by you and Du Dangjia! The voice replied with a very clear purpose of flattering, "You don't remember me, I was in the old camp of Zhang Da Dang's house a month ago......"

"Why are you here?" Cheng Mingzhen took a few steps forward, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the knife were faintly white. Han Shiwang and the others, who greeted him, instinctively stopped their footsteps within the reach of the blade, and replied cautiously, "If you go back to the ninth master's house, it is the seventh master's family who ordered the younger ones to protect the old lady." Don't worry, the old lady slept well, and she didn't hear any noise outside! ”

Hearing the other party mention his wife, Cheng Mingzhen's precautionary heart was even heavier. He knows his mother's physical condition better than anyone else, he is always dazed during the day, but he will be awakened at night at the slightest movement. It is not at all like Han Shiwang said, he can still sleep peacefully in such a chaotic moment.

Just as the fox was suspicious, another camel came out behind the minions. He arched his hand at Cheng Mingzhen and said with a smile, "In order to prevent the old lady from being frightened, I specially opened her a bowl of soothing soup." Nine masters rest assured, no matter how happy the outside is tonight, she will not be noisy! ”

"Sun, Doctor Sun!" Cheng Mingzhen dropped the firewood knife and returned the salute with both hands in fists. The only Lang Zhongsun camel in Julu Ze is also at his home, and the words of the minions can basically be believed. "I didn't expect you to come in person, which really flattered Cheng!"

Sun Huozi was too lazy to be polite to him, rolled his eyes, and said like an arrow: "Less!" How did you get out? What about Du Dangjia? Didn't you touch her? She's bringing someone to save you! Who are these women? How did the clothes tear so badly? ”

"There was chaos in the yamen, so I escaped by myself!" Cheng Mingzhen was a little confused by the title of the nine masters, and responded with a frown. "On the way, I didn't meet the seven masters, but I only saw someone killing people and setting fire under the banner of the righteous army. These women were all rescued by me along the way, and there is a shortage of manpower to sew and mend on the side of the seventh master, so I will just hand it over to her when she comes back! ”

"The Seven Masters didn't pick you up? According to the original agreement, as soon as the city gate opens, she should do it, right? Sun Huozi frowned suspiciously, and there was a faint worry in his eyes. But soon, this unnecessary worry was thrown aside by him, "Since it was rescued by the Jiu Dang family, let those women go to the palace master's house to hide first." Once the war starts, it is inevitable that some places will not be taken care of. Before entering the city, Zhang Da personally told us that this time we will only rob the big households, not the poor. However, our brothers in Juluze are used to being wild, and they may not be able to contain their temperament for a while! ”

"Yes, yes. Everything has to be done step by step. Nine masters' letters, the big masters read it carefully several times! Lest Cheng Mingzhen say something inappropriate, Han Shiwang bowed and agreed. While playing a round for the two sides, he secretly looked at a few timid women, and scolded enviously: "***, look at these little girls, one race and one fine powder!" If you don't say that it is the ninth master, the black eats the black and eats so confidently. ”

"I'm afraid that in the eyes of the seven masters, they may not be able to tolerate these delicate little ladies." Thinking of this, Han Shiwang's eyes suddenly lit up, he reached out and wiped the corners of his mouth, and instantly pulled his chest straight.
