Chapter 31: To Die
It wasn't until noon that Hu Ji finally woke up.
As soon as Su Yiren stepped on the threshold, Hu Ji's wife immediately knelt on the ground, her head banging on the ground, crying and saying words of thanks. Su Ren hurriedly helped the poor woman up. Huo Qian knew that a few people must have something to say, so he helped the woman out.
Hu Ji tried to get up, but Su Ren held him down: "Don't move, just lie down and talk!" ”
Hu Ji's eyes were red when he was moved. Knowing from Huo Laosi's mouth that it was Su Ren who saved his life with magical medical skills, Hu Ji was so grateful to his master.
"What the hell is going on? Who hurt you like this? Leng Jun asked first.
Hu Ji wiped his eyes with his sleeve and calmed his mood: "It was Wu Bald who did it!" ”
"We did a good job that day, and it was almost time for noon to eat, when suddenly dozens of people came out of the woods, all with weapons in their hands, and they beat people when they saw them, and the big guys were frightened, and finally we were confined by them in the warehouse where the salt was kept, and asked who was in charge, and I said I was in charge, and they pulled me out."
Hu Ji wiped his tears as he spoke: "Those people said that they were Wu Bald's subordinates, one of them was called the second master, my arm was broken by him, those people don't want money or food, let me come back to ventilate and report the news, I walked out of the forest for three days, and I saw that I was about to come back, the second master came out of nowhere, and before I could react, a knife slashed at my chest, and I ran to a crowded place with all my strength to endure the pain, and then I fainted and didn't know." ”
Hu Ji cried like a child, tears and snot flowed together: "County Zuo, you saved my life, and also saved the life of my whole family, I am a rough person, I don't thank you, I will do a good job in the future, as long as County Zuo still trusts me, when I am well, I will go to the brine spring to boil salt." ”
Su Ren nodded and helped Hu Ji wipe his tears: "Okay, take care of your injuries, and I'll take care of the rest." ”
As soon as Su Ren got up, Hu Ji hurriedly said: "By the way, they asked me to tell the county Zuo to let you go to the brine spring within three days, otherwise, all the people who stay there will die!" ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely save all of our people!"
When they came to the courtyard, Leng Jun and Huo Laosi also followed.
Leng Jun hurriedly said: "You really want to go to the brine spring?" That Wu bald man kills people without blinking, aren't you going to die? ”
Huo Laosi also said: "Yes! Chief Leng is right, otherwise let's report to the official, right? Send so much money to the county commander and the county lieutenant every month, they should also do something to help, and it won't do them any good if something happens on our side. ”
Su Ren smiled: "Trust them? These guys are as slippery as loaches, and even if they agree to send government soldiers over, they can only collect the corpses of those neighbors. ”
"Shall I go with you?" looked at Su Ren coldly.
Su Ren shook his head: "No, this old gentleman's view is our foundation, and there must be no accidents, you still stay and take care of the house, and I can do it alone." ”
"I'll go!" Hawking didn't know when he suddenly appeared behind several people, and waved the shuttle dart in his hand: "I'll accompany my eldest brother, I'm going to kill the person who cut Uncle Hu." ”
"Get out of the way, adults talk, you don't interject!" Huo Laosi kicked Hawking in the ass.
Su Ren smiled: "Don't fight, I'll go alone, everyone else stays at home, as long as nothing happens to this family, everything still has a chance, understand?" ”
Leng Jun and Huo Laosi nodded hurriedly.
That afternoon, Leng Jun brought some dry food and water and went into the mountain alone. Everyone was at the door, Leng Yue's eyes were full of tears, Su Ren smiled at him, and hugged everyone: "Let's go!" Take care of our home! ”
Su Ren walked very tragically, and even Su Ren didn't know what he was doing this for? Those people are not their real neighbors, and they can't even be considered to meet in Pingshui. In Su Ren's eyes before, everyone he saw was an NPC in the game, but later he had been in contact with these people for a long time, and he also knew that they were people with feelings. Since they are people with feelings, they cannot sit idly by and let them fend for themselves.
As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. In the past, Su Ren didn't have such a sense of superiority, but after coming to Dahan, he suddenly felt like a god, and this feeling of superiority was very good. It was this feeling that made Su Ren unconsciously shoulder the responsibility that he didn't even expect. This time it was self-inflicted.
Su Ren looked up to the sky and sighed, why did he live so hard, and now he still had to face the test of life and death. As he walked, he began to point his fingers at the sky and curse the earth, just like an angry youth. In fact, he is an angry young man.
Turning the corner of the mountain, Hawking sat on a bluestone in front of him. Su Ren was stunned: "Why are you here?" ”
Hawking smiled: "I'm here to protect you, whoever dares to touch you, I'll shoot him to death." As he spoke, he picked up his shuttle dart and stabbed it forward.
"Go back! This is no joke. ”
"If you don't go back, you are my eldest brother, I will follow you to protect you, whoever dares to be unfavorable to you, I will fight with him."
Su Ren was speechless. This Hawking is just a ten-year-old child, and in his eyes he should be a little villain playing with urine and mud, with a handful of snot and tears. At this time, he became his own protector, and he felt embarrassed to think about it.
Hawking is very stubborn, and he is not at ease to let a ten-year-old child stay in this barren mountain and wilderness. In desperation, he could only bring: "Follow me, everything is up to me, you can stay honest if I don't speak, or go back now." ”
Hawking hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Su Ren sighed. Although it's just a child, it's also a companion, and I'm finally not as worried as I was just now.
Lu Suren is very familiar with Lu Suren who went to the brine spring, and in the past six months, there have been more people coming and going, and he has been stepped on a mountain road. Talking to Hawking while walking, walking is not so boring. In just two days, they arrived at the brine spring.
Originally, Su Ren planned to take a look at the situation first. Before he could touch the side, there was a whistle in the woods on both sides, and four or five big men appeared in front of Su Ren with weapons.
Someone who knew Su Ren smiled: "Isn't this Su Xianzuo?" I didn't expect you to come after only two days, the second master really didn't guess wrong, but you kid is also quite courageous, you really dare to come! Yo he, I also brought a little follower, hahaha, what do you want to do with this thing? ”
Escorted Su Ren and Hawking into the small village where salt was boiled. This place is no longer desolate as it was at the beginning, hundreds of people eat, drink, and live in Lasa, along the mountain, around the brine spring to build a lot of large and small thatched houses. The largest hut in the middle is the warehouse where the salt is stored, and when you come, you put the grain in, and you store the salt while you eat the grain, and when the grain is finished, the salt is full, and then the salt is transported out, and then the grain is brought in. Today, the warehouse is full of villagers boiling salt.
On the flat ground in front of the warehouse, there were more than a dozen men of all colors. The person who was slicing meat from a hairy boar with a short sword should be the second master in their mouths. This second master was so thin and small, sitting behind the roast pig and being half blocked by the roast pig. How disgusting is a face, how disgusting it is, not to mention the pockmarks on the face, the nose is still crooked. The two eyes, one big and one small, with sharp-beaked monkey gills, smiled at Su Ren, revealing two yellow teeth.
"Something to eat?" The second master slice a piece of meat from the wild boar and handed it to Su Ren.
Su Ren shook his head. The boar was clearly undercooked, and the cut meat was still dripping blood.
The second master snorted coldly: "What? Don't give me face, do you? If you want to eat, you will eat, and if you don't eat, we don't need to talk about it. ”
Hawking glanced at Su Ren, got up suddenly, snatched the meat from the second master's short sword, and stuffed it into his mouth in a big gulp, chewing it crunching, and the blood from the corner of his mouth kept flowing into his neck.
The second master looked at Hawking and smiled: "Okay!" It's really a bit of Fan Xu's meaning back then, the kid is good, follow me in the future, right? ”
Hawking raised his little face: "What are you doing with you?" Doing this hurtful deed, I have no interest, sir! "I have been following Su Ren for a long time, and Hawking speaks in the modern language of Lao Tzu and Xiao Ye.
"Hahaha......" The second master laughed loudly, and the men next to him also laughed together. After laughing halfway, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the little hand stretched out: "Did you bring what I wanted?" ”
Su Ren took out a roll of bamboo slips from the cloth bag and weighed it twice in his hand.
"Bring it!"
Su Yiyi dodged, dodged the second master's hand, and raised the bamboo slip in his hand to the fire: "What's the hurry, I want something before the matter is discussed, how do I know that this method of making salt has been given to you, will you really let my people go?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, boy, believe it or not, second master, I killed you?"
"Faith, if you want to kill me, you can definitely do it, but if you kill me, you won't be able to get this method of making salt." Seeing that someone was about to rush over, Su Ren hurriedly took a step back: "Don't come here, take a step forward, and I'll throw it into this fire." ”
The second master glanced at the man, and the man immediately stopped in place. Second Master Yile: "Okay, you still have some skills, let's say, how can you be willing to hand over the method of salt making?" ”
Su Ren let out a sigh. His actions just now were a temptation, if these people really came for the method of salt making, then it would be easy to do. If their purpose is not here, they really won't be able to live. Now it seems that I made the right bet.
Su Ren also smiled: "Let my people go first, you can't chase them, there are a total of twenty-five of your people here, before it gets dark today, I will burn it if there is one less!" ”
"Good! Let go! The second master waved his hand, but his eyes kept staring at Su Ren: "It is said that Su Xianzuo of our Wenshui County is very smart, and he really deserves his reputation when I see it today, but have you ever thought about how I will treat you after you hand over this method of salt making?" ”
Su Ren smiled: "That's your business, I don't need to think about it, what I have to think about now is how to let my people leave safely." ”
"Hahaha, well said!" The second master nodded: "Just rush this sentence, I will give Su Xianzuo face, let the people go, no one is allowed to chase before dark, bring two jars of wine, I want to have a few drinks with Su Xianzuo." ”
