If the three words "Hu Guiyang" have magic power, Shen Qianyuan immediately walked out and stood on the steps of the gate, with a cold expression, "I'm a traitor, and the captain of the labor brocade clothes is here?" ”

"Uh...... Even if I am a traitor, it will not be my turn to come to the door. ”

"In that case, please go back." Shen Qianyuan first gave up his hands to chase away the guests, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the end of the alley, "When I came to visit, Captain Hu didn't miss the old feelings and regarded me as a stranger, why don't you keep being a stranger?" I, Shen Qianyuan, don't lack you as a friend. ”

Shen Qianyuan turned to go back, and several gatekeepers lined up, staring at the visitors defiantly, they were rogue teenagers on the street, who regarded righteousness and friends as more important than the law and the government, as long as there was someone to support them, anyone would dare to fight.

Hu Guiyang stood on the street, extremely embarrassed, but even so, he still smiled and said to everyone: "May I ask how to go to the strange road?" ”

No one paid any attention to his quips, only passers-by looked at him curiously.

Hu Guiyang led the horse away, walked farther and farther along the alley, and gradually broke away from the gaze behind him.

There was a suppressed whistle beside him, and Hu Guiyang turned his head to see that a strange middle-aged man was nodding to him in the alley.

This is probably the so-called "strange road".

Hu Guiyang greeted him, and the man turned around and left, his steps were extremely fast, and he didn't mean to wait for anyone at all.

Hu Guiyang was not in a hurry, he followed not far behind, walked through several streets and alleys, and came to an extremely secluded back alley, except for the two of them, there was no pedestrian, and there was a lonely mule cart parked under the wall, and a few wooden boxes were stacked on the car.

The leader turned around, clenched his fists and said, "If you are wronged, you will hide here for a while." With that, open a box and make a gesture of please.

"Shen Qianyuan is still so good at playing." Hu Guiyang whispered to himself, and then asked the guide, "My things, my dog......"

"Don't worry, there are a lot of the same, but horses and dogs can't be brought."

"Horses don't, dogs must stay. I brought the horse from the mountains, please find a good home for it. ”

"Okay." The man agreed reluctantly, and did not seem to have encountered a similar request.

The box is not big, Hu Guiyang must curl up after getting in, "Don't ...... too long"

The lid of the box seemed to be pressed on it, and after a few sounds, the vehicle moved forward, one time bumpy, one time steady, obviously walking on different streets and alleys, several stops, there was a sound of conversation outside, Hu Guiyang could only hear a refreshing laughter.

I don't know how long it took, just when Hu Guiyang felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, the mule cart stopped again, the heavy objects on it were carried away, and the lid of the box was opened.

Hu Guiyang immediately jumped out with both hands, although there was no shortage of air in the box, he still gasped a few times, "I swear, I will never enter this kind of place again in the future, even if there are thousands of troops chasing after me, I will not drill the box." ”

It was getting dark, and the mule cart was parked in the backyard of a family, surrounded by low and dilapidated houses, but the yard was not small, like a farmer's yard for drying grain.

Shen Qianyuan stood beside the car and said with a smile: "One day, thousands of troops and horses will only follow behind Captain Hu, and will not chase after them." ”

Hu Guiyang was still standing on the carriage, looking up and thinking for a while, "Forget it, I'd rather only follow a dog behind me, what about my dog?" ”

"Wang." The flatbread jumped out of the vicinity, jumped into the car, and rubbed against Hu Guiyang, more intimate than usual.

Hu Guiyang touched the dog's head, jumped to the ground, and arched his hand: "Thank you, I owe you a life-saving grace." ”

Shen Qianyuan waved his hand, "It's a trivial matter, and if you say it's a 'life-saving grace', you will see it." ”

Hu Guiyang snorted, "Brother Shen is well prepared, I expected that I would come for help, or do you often transport people here?" ”

"It's a bit of both. Please. ”

The two of them entered a room, which was quite simple, not even the ground was rested, covered with small potholes, and there was a small clay kang on it, on which was placed a small table, on which a lamp was lit to illuminate some wine and food.

Hu Guiyang cheered, and the flatbread stuck out his tongue excitedly.

"Brother Hu is here for a few days."

"There is wine and meat, and there is no grievance at all." Hu Guiyang was not polite, took off his boots and put on the kang, picked up a bone and gnawed a few bites, and then threw it to the flatbread.

Shen Qianyuan got on the kang and said with a smile: "There is still wine." ”

The two of them ate and drank, and after eating a few pieces of meat on the ground, the flatbread came uninvited, jumped on the kang, and there were outsiders, but it did not dare to approach the table, and lay in the corner, waiting for the owner to feed.

Full of wine and food, Hu Guiyang sighed, "Brother Shen was right that day, I shouldn't go back to Beijing." ”

Shen Qianyuan didn't remember saying this, but he still had a smile on his face, "The mediocre never leaves the countryside all his life, and the heroes take the four seas as their home, and they have nowhere to go." ”

"Brother Shen is really good at talking, do you know why I came to take refuge?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I can guess."

"Oh?"

"After the changes in Yunyang, Brother Hu has become very human, but he is willing to be in a permanent position, and it is only a matter of time before he is targeted."

"Well, it's the West Factory that is eyeing me."

"I heard that Brother Hu once defeated the No. 1 master of the West Factory and seriously injured Wang Zhi, the factory public, is it true?"

"The rumors are so exaggerated? In fact, I was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and I had no power to fight back, and I was forced to be helpless, so I had to threaten Wang Zhi. Hu Guiyang told the truth about the situation at that time and did not hide it.

Shen Qianyuan laughed, "This kind of thing can only be done and dared to be done by Brother Hu." Wang Zhi must have seen that you had a strange appearance, so he deliberately let you go, why did he change his mind now? ”

"Why I don't know, I just know that it's getting more and more dangerous." Hu Guiyang said the death of Lou Yaoxian, "This matter is strange everywhere, but Wang Zhi has to let me investigate the case, I immediately knew that something was wrong, Wang Zhi set me up not once, and this time he will push me into a deeper trap." ”

Shen Qianyuan nodded, "But what is Wang Zhi's conspiracy, Brother Hu doesn't know?" ”

"There's no need to know, because I don't want to be involved at all, I just want to stay away."

Seeing the slight knowledge, Brother Hu avoided it in time this time. Come, and drink. ”

Hu Guiyang held down the wine glass and said seriously: "I'm just an ordinary mortal, except for being beaten, there is nothing different, if Brother Shen is willing to help me, I am grateful, there are a few hundred taels of silver, please smile." If you don't want to, just send me out of the city, and I'll be grateful, and I'll pay for it, but you'd better keep some for me. ”

Shen Qianyuan laughed, "Don't say that Brother Hu has been kind to me, even if I meet in Pingshui, I, Shen Qianyuan, will save people to the end, and I will never give up halfway." You keep all the money, as for whether it is a stranger, the time has not yet come, even if Brother Hu is no different in the end, we are still friends. ”

The two ate and drank for a while, and Hu Guiyang wanted to lead the topic to Yunyang Yiren several times, but was brought over by Shen Qianyuan with a few words.

The wine and food were cold, the belly of the flatbread was bulging, and he didn't want to lick the bones thrown into his mouth, Shen Qianyuan went down to the ground and said goodbye, "Brother Hu, rest, there are no outsiders here, I will come back in two days and arrange a safe way out for Brother Hu." This courtyard is spacious, Brother Hu can relax, it is best not to go out of the courtyard door, if someone knocks on the door or shouts at the door, don't care about him. There is some food stored in the room next to it, I'm sorry, you can't make a fire here, and for the next two days, Brother Hu can only eat cold food. ”

"Ask for nothing else."

Shen Qianyuan said goodbye, took the mule pulling the cart away, and Hu Guiyang sent it to the gate of the courtyard, where he heard the sound of the gate locking outside.

The night was dark, Hu Guiyang stepped on the snow and returned to the house, and said to the flatbread that came out: "It seems that we are going to celebrate the New Year here, and it just so happens that I haven't bought a single New Year's gift at home." ”

In the next room, there are a lot of bacon, frozen meat, preserved fruits and other foods, and there are also a few jars of wine.

Hu Guiyang was very satisfied, and said to the flatbread: "See, it's enough for us to eat for more than ten days, you don't have to prop up your belly so big anymore, it's embarrassing for me." ”

The flatbread whined a few times, and seemed a little embarrassed.

Hu Guiyang went back to sleep, the hut was as cold as a cellar, he was covered with a quilt, and he was really shivering in his dreams.

Early the next morning, Hu Guiyang took the flatbread to patrol the yard, find a place to pile up garbage and relieve his hands, eat some cold food, and punch a few times at the door to warm his body a little.

After a peaceful day, Hu Guiyang once went to the gate of the courtyard to peek out, outside was a sparsely tracked alley, and on the opposite side was a long row of low houses, not like inhabited.

Another day later, Shen Qianyuan didn't come, Hu Guiyang felt bored, unwrapped the baggage, took out the silver ingots, went to the yard to throw them around, and then separated from the flatbread to retrieve them from the snow, the silver ingots were not enough, he took the pieces of meat out of the house, buried them at will, and then looked for them again.

By volume, flatbread always wins.

On the third day, Shen Qianyuan still did not show up, and his so-called "two days" were also imaginary.

Hu Guiyang took the flatbread to build a snowman, inlaid all kinds of candied fruit on it as a nose and eye, and was busy all day, the snowman piled seven or eight, but the nose and eyes were all eaten by the flatbread.

At dusk, when the snowflakes fell, it looked like it would be a heavy snowfall, and Hu Guiyang returned to the house, wrapped in a quilt to eat, and missed the warmth of the flames very much.

"Everybody gets things wrong." He said to the flatbread lying next to him, "Maybe I'm too anxious and people will see the flaws, or maybe I'm just ordinary and boring, so I can just pass it away." I'm worried that we'll be forgotten and lure the snake out of the hole - hey, how does a little grasshopper lead the snake? In this defeat, I couldn't go back to see Wang Zhi, or even Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian, who still regarded me as a hidden smart person. ”

Hu Guiyang muttered to himself, and the flatbread occasionally replied, but it obviously did not understand what the owner was saying, because it had been very happy these days, eating, drinking, and having fun, and for it, this was the best life.

"When you were a child, you had a lot of skills, you dug up the True Fire Token from the ground and brought me a golden pill, why is it becoming more and more ordinary now?" Hu Guiyang took out the True Fire Token from his arms and put it in front of the big cake nose, "Go find me another one again." ”

Hu Guiyang teased it, sniffed the flatbread twice, really jumped off the kang, and went out.

Snowflakes and cold wind poured in, Hu Guiyang hurriedly got off the ground, and said loudly: "Come back, you stupid dog......"

He closed the door, leaned his back against it, waited for the flatbread to come back, and after thinking about it, he began to feel that he had done something stupid, and that he had reached a dead end.

There was a sound of scratching the door outside, Hu Guiyang opened the door and put in the flatbread, and immediately put the door latch away, "Don't go out again." ”

The flatbread came over, there was no light in the room, Hu Guiyang reached out to touch it, and really received something from the mouth of the flatbread, hard and thick, like a rectangular wooden box.

Hu Guiyang was taken aback, touched it a few more times, and found that this was a piece of bacon that he had buried in the snow, and smiled dumbly, "What a gluttonous dog." ”

He threw the bacon aside and went to sleep on the kang.

When he woke up, he found that the bacon was taken to his side by the flatbread again, and said with a smile: "Why don't you eat it?" ”

The flatbread screamed, and by the early morning sun, Hu Guiyang saw a few lines of words engraved on the bacon.
