Chapter 48: Ransom

Hu Zi tied up Jing Zhiyi and Jing Zhiguo, and robbed all the belongings in the car, and the bracelets and earrings on Jing Zhiyi's mother and Jing Zhiguo's mother and other women's objects were all worth two money, and they were also plundered, of course, including the two gold-shelled pocket watches that Jing Zhiyi's father and Jing Zhiguo's father carried.

The gang was quite benevolent and righteous, and did not hurt anyone, and helped to help the overturned cart over, telling them that the horse was fine, as long as they rested for an hour, they could walk the aisle.

It's just that the carriage of the fancy car has been shattered. The beard put down his words, within ten days, two thousand oceans, in exchange for these two boys, ten days without money, first cut off one ear for each of the two boys, and without money for twenty days, first cut off the head of one of the boys, and if there is no money for a month, cut off the head of the other boy.

On the first ten days, put the money in the Buddha statue in the main hall of the ruined temple one mile away to the north, and leave immediately after putting it away, don't wait, the child will naturally return it to you.

After the confession was completed, two of the bearded men carried Jing Zhiyi and Jing Zhiguo on horseback, and the others waited for them to grow away.

When Jing Zhiyi's father and Jing Zhiguo's father returned to Jingjiagou with the two wives and the dog leftovers, it was already dawn.

Even if I was scared, I felt sorry for the belongings that were robbed by my beard, and the most important thing was that I was worried about the two children, and the two ladies were all sick.

Don't they all say that manly husbands? Men and women in this world are the same people, but the difference is great!

Jing Zhiyi's father and Jing Zhiguo's father were frightened, frightened, anxious, and distressed, but they were all fine. Although the dog leftover is also a member of the Jing family, he was frightened once, but after all, the blood relationship is far away, and it is even more fine.

What to do? Those floating wealth were plundered away, although those two gold-shelled pocket watches were really distressing, but if they were compared to the two children who were still in the hands of others, they were nothing!

What else can I do? It's absolutely not okay to report the crime! If you report the case, whether you can catch those mustaches or not for the time being, and whether the lives of those two children can be saved is a matter of two words.

Let's hurry up and prepare money! Good redemption! You must know that Jing Zhiyi's father, but the rich master, Hongbin Building plus so many shops, and took over so many good places in Jing Zhiguo, it is distressing to take money out after all, but it does not hurt the muscles and bones, it is easy to say.

But Jing Zhi's country is not good, there were two fires, and most of the land was transferred to Jing Zhiyi's family, and there was a little land left, which was the capital of the whole family's life!

The ten-day deadline is coming in a flash, what should I do? Jing Zhiguo's father pulled all the family's savings, and it was only one or twenty oceans, which was far behind!

In fact, Jing Zhiyi's father knows what the situation of Jing Zhiyi's country is, and knows what money his family has!

I'll have it all on my own. At noon on the ninth day, Jing Zhiyi's father asked Jing Zhiguo's father, brother, how is the money prepared?

Jing Zhiguo's father said, brother, we are a little tight on hand, you send your money first, and redeem Zhiyi first!

Let's hurry up and prepare money, and in a few days, we will redeem Zhiguo! Isn't there still a ten-day deadline? Jing Zhiyi's father looked at Jing Zhiguo's father and said, Brother, this is also what it should be, you caught fire there twice, and this is really fatal!

But the child is in the hands of those beards, you can rest assured? Why don't you take care of it for you first, and then talk about it later?

Jing Zhiguo's father was silent for a long time, at this time, what face do you want, and if you want face, your son's life may be gone!

Just said, brother, it's okay, you can cushion for us first, and when we slow down, I'll pay you back. Brother, it's not too late for us to have it!

The two discussions have been decided, and early the next morning, the brothers and sons still sat in the flower wheel car that had no carriage driven by the dog's leftovers, and went to Bencigou to deliver the money according to the place designated by the beard.

When they arrived at the place where they were robbed that day, the traces of the overturned car were still there, and the three of them walked there, all of them lowered their heads and looked at each other, without saying anything.

Jing Zhiyi's father instructed the dog to park the car on the side of the road and guard, and the two of them walked straight along a path on the edge of the mulberry forest about a mile north, and saw the broken temple that Hu Zi said.

The ruined temple was hidden in the mulberry forest, invisible on the southern road, and when it came to a place seven or eight feet away from the front, it appeared in front of it as if the clouds had seen the sun.

That temple, Jing Zhiyi's father and Jing Zhiguo's father knew about it, but they never approached it. It was an ancient temple, about the size of four houses, and the Buddha statue in it was not known when it had been dusty, and the Buddha sat in the main hall, and on both sides were some Buddhist figures.

It can be seen that there is no monk abbot in the temple, but there are occasional people who worship incense, and the incense ash in the incense burner in front of the Buddha is not very old.

At this time, it was almost noon, and there was no movement. When I came out, I didn't think of this layer, thinking that the beard would wait in the temple, who would have thought that it was all noon, and there was no shadow of anyone.

Think about it, at that time, the beard said to let the head be ten days, and today it is ten days, yes! Thinking about it again, the beard said that he would let him put the money behind the Buddha statue in the main hall, and told him not to wait.

Let's put it, it's okay, but if we put it down and leave, if someone else takes the money, let's give away two thousand oceans for nothing, don't say it, don't think that we didn't send money, hurt our children!

No, we'll have to wait here, and when it's time. After coming and going, it was the second half of the day, and I didn't see anyone coming, the sun set, and I still didn't see anyone.

If you want to go, you don't dare! Put the money here, don't worry, take the money away, if the beard can't get the money, maybe something will happen!

Wait! During this period, Jing Zhiyi's father and Jing Zhiguo's father had two or three times put their hands into their arms to take out the pocket watch that should have been in their arms, but where could they take it out?

He was already taken away by that beard. The dog who was guarding the cart was in a hurry, and he stumbled back and forth twice, got a few large cakes in Cigou Tunzi, and came back with a crockpot filled with water.

Jing Zhiyi's father and Jing Zhiguo's father have suffered this crime! The broken temple was full of ash, there was no place to sit, there was no place to stand, the two of them sat on the stone steps in front of the broken temple, sitting numb all over, and their buttocks hurt.

As soon as the sun goes down, in the late autumn evening, among the wilderness, it is extremely cold, and when the cold wind blows, it soaks into the bone marrow, stand up and stagger, and wait patiently!

About the time has passed, I heard a person on the path by the mulberry forest walking, tom, it sounds very heavy, not the dog leftover waiting on the side of the road, although the dog leftover is young and strong, but walking is not so much movement, thinking, can wait for this beard, but a little scared, don't be the original group of beards, but another thief, so quickly hold the bag containing the ocean to hide in the west side of the temple, peek at the movement in front of the broken temple.

Soon, two dark shadows were seen in front of the broken temple. Jing Zhiyi's father and Jing Zhiguo's father were a little surprised, and the voice they heard was one person, why are these two people?

The two black shadows stood in front of the ruined temple, and did not enter the temple, but stood in place and stared left and right for a while, and then shouted, come out!

It seems to have known in advance that the money had not been put behind the Buddha statue, and it seemed to have known in advance that there were people hiding near the ruined temple.

It happened to be another sunny day, and the edge of the waning moon was already hanging in the eastern sky. Seeing those two figures in the dark, Jing Zhiyi's father and Jing Zhiguo's father were relieved, yes, it was those beards.

The two beards who came were still the same as they had been during the catastrophe, dressed in black, and covered their faces with black cloths.

When the beard has been in place for a long time, there is a wild air on the body, which is not an ordinary person, and the person who started the head is a thin strip, Jing Zhiguo's righteous father and Jing Zhiguo's father recognized it, and it was this guy who chased the most tightly during the robbery that day!

The thin beard may also be too thin, and it walks like a cat, like stepping on cotton, almost silent, a little scary.

It is said that Jing Zhiguo's father is an authority on Chinese studies, and he should know that this thin beard walks with a kung fu in martial arts, called light gong.

This kung fu is practiced to the point of perfection, not only can you walk without sound, but you can even step on the lotus leaves on the water.

It's understandable to think about it, although Jing Zhiguo's father is an authority on Chinese studies, but after all, he focuses on the hundred schools of thought, Confucius and Mencius, Zhong Ding Yi instruments, text exegesis, and knows the knowledge of martial arts, but there are some of them, what kind of circulation and evolution, what kind of routines and techniques can not be explained, since it is not clear, it is impossible to understand, and of course I don't know what kind of realm is where kung fu is practiced to perfection.

Jing Zhiyi's father and Jing Zhiguo's father looked at the right way, but they didn't see the two children, and they were right, they originally said that they had to see the money before returning the children.

Let's get out of here! If you don't go out, you can't do it! He hurriedly walked out of the broken temple mountain, but he did not hold the bag containing the ocean.

The brothers kept an eye on it, and they didn't pay the money if they didn't see the child, otherwise, the money would be given to someone else, and the child wouldn't be able to come back, wouldn't it be empty of people and money!

The bearded man saw that the two men were empty-handed, and he became angry. Where's the money? So, where are our children? The leading thin strip glanced at Jing Zhiyi's father and Jing Zhiguo's father, didn't say a word, turned around and left, and threw down a sentence, I don't want children anymore, right!

When the two brothers heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hero, if you don't give it to our children, then how can we give you the money!"

The two of them used the honorific title of beard on the rivers and lakes. Man is the spirit of all things, and there is no need to teach him in such things.

As soon as the two bearded men heard that they were good men, they felt a little comfortable in their hearts, and said, if you don't see money, why don't you give your child!

When Jing Zhiyi's father and Jing Zhiguo's father heard it, but too, they said, money, our brothers brought it, but when will the child return to us?

As soon as the two bearded men heard it, they said, what are we doing, you also know it, people are the most important word in the rivers and lakes, why would they take your money and not give you your children?

Give us the money today, tomorrow, you still come here to pick up the child! When Jing Zhiyi's father and Jing Zhiguo's father heard it, the beard was so eloquent, and their hearts were crossed, so they simply believed him!

The father of the two children exchanged glances in the dark, and Jing Zhiyi's father said, That's good! Let's believe in the heroes!

Appropriate! We'll give you the money! The two bearded men listened to what Jing Zhiyi's father said, and they didn't say a word, watching Jing Zhiyi's father walk to the west mountain of the broken temple and walk back, holding the cloth bag containing the ocean in his arms.

Seeing the cloth bag, the two beards were immediately different, and even in the dark, you could see the two pairs of thief eyes emitting light.

Fortunately, the gang of beards collected two thousand oceans, and they were really very trustworthy, and the next day, it was still Jing Zhiyi's father and Jing Zhiguo's father, plus the dog's leftovers, and the servants went to the broken temple to take Jing Zhiyi and Jing Zhiguo home with a flower wheel.
