Chapter 4 Encounter with a thief

When Zhang Zhimu led the sister and brother back, Huang Yukun had already made a new set of bedding.

"Brother, I was wronged last night, I will lay a new futon today, and I will go and lay it for you." Huang Yukun said.

"That's good, why do you want to make a new one? It's not a cave room!" Zhang Zhimu originally wanted to be polite, but he didn't expect a joke to make Huang Yukun's face red.

In the evening, Zhang Zhimu covered himself with a new futon. Although the quality of the cloth is not very good, it is soft and comfortable to cover the body. Thinking about the events of the day, Zhang Zhimu couldn't sleep. "Fifteen yuan for one egg, three or four eggs can be exchanged for one liter of rice. It seems that eggs are still a rarity. But why do five chickens only have one egg in two days? Poorly fed. Why don't you feed the better point, lay more eggs, and then change back to feed, and then feed, isn't this a virtuous circle? In the previous life, alas, the chickens at the peak of modern society were one egg a day. Yes, you should buy more chickens, buy more feed, and then fish some small fish and shrimp in the river, get some bones, and make your own compound feed, which will definitely increase the egg production, and maybe solve the problem of eating. "Thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then it was gone. At this time, there was no noise pollution in the Ming Dynasty, and the night was exceptionally quiet, and the sound of horses' hooves could be transmitted far away.

I fell asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, a "bang" came from the courtyard. Zhang Zhimu woke up suddenly, and "someone" judged in his heart. Quietly dressed, put on shoes, went down to the ground, looked out through the crack in the door, and broke out in a cold sweat. I saw a total of three people jumping in the courtyard, two tall and one short, each carrying a willow leaf single knife in their hands.

Zhang Zhimu had never encountered such a thing, and he was very nervous. If you go out, you won't be able to beat others, and the three of them will be nimble at a glance. However, they must not just hide from it, it is better to let them cut it down. I still have a bit of kung fu, but I've never used it.

In fact, when Zhang Zhimu was a child, he stretched out his arms with his neighbors and practiced his legs, and learned a little long boxing. Later, I only focused on studying, but I didn't insist on practicing. Fortunately, when I was in college, my fellow dormitory buddies had good martial arts, and they were considered to be from a martial arts family, and they practiced poking and flipping. It is said that the brother's grandfather served as Zhang Zuolin's bodyguard. Zhang Zhimu practiced with him for four years. Although I haven't suffered losses in a few small conflicts, I haven't done anything serious with anyone, and I feel that what I practice is all showmanship. This time it's different. Outside, three people were gathering in front of the door, using knives to pry Huang Yukun's door. "They must not be allowed to pry open Huang Yukun's door" Thinking of this, he pushed open the door and went out empty-handed. shouted: "Be a good man and be slow!" ”

This sound really startled the three of them, but they didn't expect that there were still people in the room next to them. Fortunately, it has also been an accident for a long time, and it is not chaotic. Under the moonlight, I saw that Zhang Zhimu was alone, empty-handed. The three of them held knives and stood separately in front of Zhang Zhimu. Zhang Zhimu thought: "It's not okay to work hard", and hurriedly arched his hand and begged: "The hero raises his hand and lets us go!" There's really nothing worth at home. That's it, okay!"

"Hey, hey! The wild man is out! The little one standing in the middle said.

"Poor! How much money did the young grandmother make yesterday? I bought a lot of delicious food and drink, why are you crying poor today! ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that it was Huang Yukun who was followed by others in the city. Seeing Zhang Zhimu Nuonuo's appearance, the three of them felt that this was another soft bone, and the knife in their hands was no longer raised, but was held in their hands.

"That's all life-saving food for the child!"

"Don't fuck nonsense, let Grandma open the door and get us something to eat and drink. If we are happy to serve our third brother, we will be able to let you go," said the little one.

"Haha! Ha ha! The three of them burst into laughter. Zhang Zhimu judged that the small one in the middle was the weakest, and the fat big one on the left was the most threatening.

"No, good man, you can accumulate some virtue," said Zhang Zhimu and leaned over while making a gesture.

"Hack you with more nonsense, open the door!" The little one is also a master who can't suppress the fire when he sees an honest man.

At this time, Zhang Zhimu turned his head and glanced at the door. The three of them followed and looked towards the door. Seeing that the attention of the three people was diverted, it was really an opportunity not to be missed. Zhang Zhimu took a sharp step, and when he reached the eyes of the little one, he got up with his right foot and ran to the little one's left knee. The little one just needs to be guarded against. The foot got up again and ran to the chest, and then the foot was kicked on the mouth of the little one. The little "ah" threw down the single knife in his hand and fell backwards. In fact, Zhang Zhimu used the nail foot of poke the foot flip kung fu, this kick can attack the opponent's upper, middle and lower three ways, first the leg, the leg will attack the chest, and the chest will attack the face, Zhang Zhimu's foot, the little one can't dodge all the way, Zhang Zhimu chose to attack the face. Regardless of the small one, Zhang Zhimu rolled forward in the direction of the knife landing (learned in physical education class), and when he landed on the ground, he held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and when he got up, the tip of the knife rushed forward and sent the knife out horizontally. The fat man didn't expect such a nesty person to dare to suddenly make trouble, seeing Zhang Zhimu knock down the little one with one foot, he was stunned, and before he understood what was going on, Zhang Zhimu rolled over to his side, and sent the knife over, just wanted to dodge, the knife had already entered half a foot from the left side of his waist. Zhang Zhimu rushed forward and took the knife behind the fat man, if it wasn't for the vertebrae, this knife would have to cut off the fat waist. The fat man yelled, threw down the knife and fell to the right with his waist in his hands. The skinny one looked like he was gone. "Ahh shouted and raised his knife and ran towards Zhang Zhimu. Through the fat body, Zhang Zhimu jumped forward and rolled over (also from physical education class), and rolled towards the thin man's feet. Maybe the thin man has never seen this kind of play, what kind of play is this when he lies on the ground, and he is stunned to cut down. But it was too late, Zhang Zhimu had already gone from under his feet to behind him, and slashed his left leg as he passed. The thin man made an "ah", and his left hand covered his left leg and his body was crooked, but the knife in his right hand had not been thrown. Zhang Zhimu stood up and slashed at his neck from right to left with a knife in both hands. The thin man flashed, and the knife landed on his right shoulder. The thin knife couldn't hold it anymore, and it landed with a thud. The man also bowed down to the ground. Zhang Zhimu didn't hesitate at this time, and stretched out the knife to wipe his neck. With a "bang", blood swept Zhang Zhimu's face.

At this time, there was a "hmm" sound, and the little one who got up at some point turned around to run. Zhang Zhimu kicked him again, and stretched out his knife to wipe his neck. Suddenly, the door opened, and Huang Yukun shouted: "Slow down!" ”。

Zhang Zhimu put away the knife and looked at Huang Yukun. Huang Yukun said: "I know this person, his name is Meng Si'er!" Spare his life! ”

"Spare his life, can they spare you if they get it?" Zhang Zhimu said hatefully.

"Grandma spares my life, I was forced by them! Grandma save me!" Meng Si'er cried out incoherently.

"Brother, you have to be forgiving and forgiving." Huang Yukun said.

"Don't move while you're lying on your stomach." After Zhang Zhimu finished speaking, he turned around and pulled the fat man with a knife. And he saw that all his intestines were flowing out, and he was dead. Only then did I find that my whole body was soaked with sweat, and my face was drenched. Sweat with your sleeves. He turned around again and asked, "Okay, for the sake of your grandmother, I will give you a chance to live." Answer my question well, answer well, spare you from dying. There is a lie, and he obliterates you, and lets the three of you go as companions. Say, what the hell is going on? ”

Meng Si'er told him how he met Huang Yukun in the county seat. The fat man and the thin man claim to be the "two heroes of northern Jin", both have martial arts, the fat man is called Han Menqing, and the thin man is called Li Feihu. A while ago, I robbed a large family on the road. As a result, the gang did not die, and the case was committed. The big family is very powerful. Now it's black and white and they're taking them, but I didn't expect to be planted here. Han Menqing went to deal with the stolen goods, and only arrived in Xiurong today. Afraid that they would not be able to leave the city in the evening, they had already left the city to drink in a tavern outside the city, and as soon as it was dark, they rode their horses to the kiln. Afraid of alarming the people on the post, he dismounted a mile away from the kiln gang, led the horse to the grove under the gang, and waited until midnight to tie the horse, and ran up to the post.

Hearing this, Huang Yukun was covered in cold sweat, holding his arms, and gritting his teeth.

"Report to the police!" Zhang Zhimu deliberately said, in fact, he was thinking about the three horses in his heart.

"Please, don't report to the official! Grandma help! Meng Si'er got up and kowtowed, and said with a sigh.

"Brother, report to the official, this Meng Si'er will definitely die, let him live!" Huang Yukun said.

"And what about these two people?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Bury it, everyone in the green forest is the result. They are all loners, and when they die, someone is buried, even if their illumination is done. You also have Yin virtues. Meng Si'er said.

"Get up and lead me to bring the horse." Zhang Zhimu pointed a knife at Meng Si'er and said.

Meng Si'er led him to the grove and untied the three horses and let Meng Si'er lead them, and Zhang Zhimu carried a knife and followed behind.

After entering the courtyard, he saw that the two horses were each tied to a cloth bag, Zhang Zhimu went over to untie it and felt that it was a little weighty, so he checked it and handed it to Huang Yukun. Huang Yukun took it without speaking. On the two people underground, he turned out two short knives with sheaths, a few taels of silver, and dozens of copper coins, put the silver in his arms, and handed the rest to Huang Yukun. touched Meng Si'er's body, except for a few copper plates, there was nothing, so forget it, I didn't take it. Then asked Huang Yukun to find two broken mats, and asked Meng Si'er to roll up the "Northern Jin and Northern Heroes" separately and tie them with hemp rope. and helped Meng Si'er to put the two of them on two horses. Let Meng Si'er lead the horse in front, and follow Meng Si'er with a knife and a shovel on his shoulder.

This Meng Si'er may be frightened, but he was very well-behaved and obedient along the way. Since I am familiar with the situation during the day, I will know it in my heart. Passing by the cylinder kiln to the north, he walked up the hillside, found a spacious place in a forest, and let Meng Si'er start digging a pit.

"Alright, hero?" Meng Si'er asked.

Zhang Zhimu looked at it and said, "No, you still have to dig." ”

Meng Si'er was a little nervous and thought, "Don't you want to bury me." ”

The pit was dug and asked Meng Si'er to put the two side by side. Zhang Zhimu said to the dead man: "That's it, don't be a thief in the next life, and don't do anything bad if you are a thief." ”

waved his hand to Meng Si'er again: "Bury it!" ”

After burying the person, Meng Si'er turned around and knelt down for Zhang Zhimu.

looked at Meng Si'er Zhang Zhimu and said, "You know the rules, you should be buried here." But your grandmother has the virtue of a good life, and she is kind-hearted, and she wants to let you go with virtue to repay her grievances, and she doesn't know whether it's right or wrong. If it's wrong, it's too big. ”

"That's right, that's right. I will never forget the grace of grandma's regeneration. Meng Si'er kowtowed again and again.

"Hey! Let's go! Don't let me see you again. ”

Meng Si'er got up and turned around and ran, for fear that Zhang Zhimu would change his mind.

"Hey! Come back. Zhang Zhimu shouted.

Meng Si'er stopped. He turned around and knelt down. Zhang Zhimu took out a tael of silver from his arms and gave it to Meng Si'er.

Meng Si'er kowtowed, got up and ran.

Zhang Zhimu led the horses to the road, and the reins of one of the horses were tied to the saddle of the other, and the shovel was fastened, and the reins were grasped, and Ren Deng turned over and got on the horse. In the past, I rode a horse on the grassland of Inner Mongolia a few times, but I didn't dare to run fast. The skill was used this time. Zhang Zhimu himself also felt strange, except for being a little tired, how to kill two people was not afraid at all, it seemed that it didn't matter anything.

Back in the courtyard, Huang Yukun was waiting.

"Buried?" Huang Yukun asked.

"Buried."

"What about Meng Si'er?"

"Give me a tael of silver, and let it go."

"That's fine." Huang Yukun let out a sigh of relief.

The blood stains on the ground have been covered by Huang Yukun with soil and grass ash, and he saw Zhang Zhimu washing his face and changing into today's newly made clothes and pants. He said, "Brother, it's not over yet, and the horse can't be left in the yard." Although no one came out of those houses, they must have heard such a big movement. As soon as the morning dawned, I saw that the horse was here, and I couldn't say. ”

"What then?"

"Or tie it to the grove first, where no one usually goes.

Zhang Zhimu tied the horse, returned to the courtyard and handed the remaining silver in his arms to Huang Yukun and asked, "Where is the horse market?" ”

"Outside the east gate of the city is a big Malaysian market, and many of the horses who kill Hu Kou are trading there. Brother, have you ever been in the horse business? ”

"No, you can go to explore the market first." Zhang Zhimu thought a little simply.

"Before, my family bought horses for ploughing the land, forty or fifty taels of silver. I haven't looked at these horses carefully, but I think they are much stronger. ”

Zhang Zhimu looked at Huang Yukun and felt that this woman was too unusual. returned to normalcy so quickly, if it was the wife of the previous life, she would have been scared, and it would be good not to go to the hospital if she didn't toss.

"Girl is amazing. When encountering such a big event, don't panic. Zhang Zhimu said sincerely.

"Why, I'm scared in the house. Now that something has happened, it's useless to panic. After so many lives and deaths, I have seen them all. It's your brother who made a good move, kicked one person, killed two people in a row, and it was in the blink of an eye. Looking at Zhang Zhimu in the moonlight, Huang Yukun also admired it sincerely.

Just after the catastrophe, the two of them were very excited, and they kept talking in the yard. It was Huang Yukun who said first: "There will be a while before dawn, brother will sleep for a while!" There's still something to do tomorrow. ”
