Chapter 13: Vignette
The road in Beihai City is not wide, and the road that is currently driving is the main road from east to west in Beihai City, which is no more than six meters wide. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info was originally enough for the width of the Rolls-Royce car body of 2.4 meters, but the shops and shops on both sides of the road have built many sheds outside, and tables, chairs and benches are placed under the sheds, and there are even brick walls built directly on both sides of the sheds, which directly become pavement. These "illegal buildings" on both sides of the road occupy a width of about one to two meters, compressing the already small road to just over three meters wide.
This width is enough for Liu Chuanzhi, who is riding a horse in front, but in the narrow place of the road, even two sedan chairs cannot be done in parallel, let alone a Rolls-Royce with a relatively spacious body. The road was full of curious onlookers, and the width of the road was directly squeezed to only about two meters and a half, and the curious children ran around on both sides of the road, making the special investigators who drove the car highly nervous, lest they bump into pedestrians on both sides of the road.
Huang An just saw that the road in front of him was relatively wide, so he turned his head to show his loyalty, and as a result, he collided. In fact, he didn't know what the car had touched, but there were people on both sides of the road, so naturally it would not be a tea stall or wine shop on the side of the road, it must be pedestrians. Now that he had encountered it, he didn't know what to do, just looked at Yang Muqin with a nervous face.
Yang Muqin pursed his lips and took a closer look, there was a child lying on the left side of the front of the car, the child was too excited just now, and deliberately jumped in front of the car to make a grimace, who knew that the driver just turned his head at that time and didn't see it, and directly knocked the child to the ground. Although there was no such thing as a hit-and-run in this plane, it was Rolls-Royce who hit it after all, and he sighed, opened the car door and walked down.
The people and cars walking in front also stopped, and they all probed their heads to see what was happening behind them, and the crowd also rushed up, talking and talking nonsense, and surrounded the place. Liu Chuanzhi didn't get off the horse, but took a closer look, a child in tattered clothes was lying in front of the car, wearing a pair of straw sandals that had long been torn on his feet, and the toes that leaked outside were all black, and his upper body was wearing a linen coat that was torn in an unknown number of places, and the skin that could be seen was black and brown, and he didn't know how long he hadn't taken a bath, and he was wearing a straw hat on his head, and the straw hat was also tattered, and a half-broken bowl was shattered on the bluestone road. Seeing this, Liu Chuanzhi couldn't be clearer, this kid must be a beggar, and he was inadvertently knocked down by these strange cars when he was watching the excitement just now.
"Someone!" A personal soldier hurriedly walked over and bowed his hand to Liu Chuanzhi, "My lord, what do you command?" ”
"You go and get a penny of silver, give this little Hanako, and let him go quickly, and don't get in the way." After Liu Chuanzhi finished speaking, he said to the soldiers next to him, "Drive the crowd away, we have to go to the governor's mansion!" ”
The soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and waved their weapons to disperse the impenetrable crowd, "Go away!" Go away! "Don't look at it! What's there to see? "Hurry up, hurry up, go away! If you don't leave, you will be pulled to the General's Mansion to play the board! ”
The crowd soon moved away, but they all stood at a distance and watched the excitement - a habit that had not changed in any dynasty. Yang Muqin was squeezed aside by the crowd when he walked out of the car door just now, and now he began to itch a little in several places on his body, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart that it should be a bed bug flea on a common person that jumped over him. At this time, the crowd finally dispersed, and he hurriedly walked to the front of the car, only then did he see clearly the child that his car had hit.
A pro-soldier walked over and threw a few copper coins beside the child, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Get out of the way, I'll give you the money! ”
But the child didn't react, just lying on the ground and holding his feet, Yang Muqin felt strange, leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but be startled. The child's right ankle was twisted outward, obviously dislocated, and now he was pale and covered in cold sweat on the ground, and his mouth was screaming loudly, and his throat was making a ho-ho sound, as if he couldn't cry out in pain.
"Pirates have killed someone!" I don't know who is shouting next to me, but immediately Liu Chuanzhi's soldiers are yelling, "What pirates? This is the maritime master, whoever talks nonsense will be caught in the general's mansion to play the board! ”
"Obviously it was killed by pirates!" A voice came from the side, and several people looked over, but it was a young man, about one meter six or eight tall, wearing a gray linen robe, wearing a square scarf on top of his head, stepping on a pair of cloth shoes that looked good at workmanship, and holding a folding fan in his hand.
The soldiers were immediately stunned, and from this appearance they knew that he must be a scholar.
Although it is unreasonable to say that Xiucai meets soldiers, but on the main road in the city, those who are soldiers will never dare to fight with scholars. And don't even think about fighting, who knows if this young man is a showman? If you beat Xiucai, you will be sent to the oil pot by the king of Hades after you die, and the soldiers are all licking blood on the knife edge to live, and if you don't want to die, if you go to the underworld and are thrown by the ghost, where can you go to reason?
Seeing that these Qiu Ba people were silent one by one, the scholar came to his senses and patted his hand with a folding fan, "I said why did the pirates enter the city today, it turns out that there are still soldiers from the General's Mansion to protect them!" If it weren't for the food paid by the people, how could you have the clothes you could eat and wear? Now this pirate who disturbs the sea frontier of the Wu Dynasty and kills people is close at hand, and instead of fighting with him and killing him on the spot, you are helping the pirates to talk to them! You're still not a military household of the Wu Dynasty? ”
These soldiers don't know a single word at all, and they usually rely on martial arts and courage to fight wars, so they became Liu Chuanzhi's personal soldiers, and now they are said by this scholar that they don't know how to refute at all, just standing there stupidly. The scholar naturally would not let go of this opportunity to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued, "At this time, the pirates drove this demon car to wreak havoc in my Beihai City, killing the people of my Wu Dynasty. ”
"He meowed," Yang Muqin became depressed, what is going on? He pulled a soldier who bowed his head and didn't dare to speak, and asked, "This kid is very rampant, who is it?" ”
The soldier whispered, "Master, this person can't be provoked, his family is a local wealthy family, and someone in his family is a spokesman in the court, even the local governor and general are afraid of three points." ”
"It's really a meow, I didn't look at the days when I went out, and I ran into such a thing." Yang Muqin couldn't help but curse secretly, he had always been a scholar who didn't look down on him. In his eyes, it is useless to be a scholar, and these scholars who only know "what is important are also good" all day long, are not diligent in their limbs and do not distinguish between grains and grains. The scholar in front of him was exactly like this, his face was full of indignation, and he was holding a fan in his hand and pointing at these thieves, as if he couldn't help but slash the thieves with his own hands.
"Xiaoyang, don't be like those people," Liu Yeqiang shouted as he got out of the car and walked over, but was blocked by the crowd on the periphery, "Let's take a look at the wounded first!" ”
"Sure enough, it's a thief!" The scholar didn't intend to let go of the obviously immature-looking young pirate in front of him, and continued to scold there, "What kind of system is it to run rampant on my Beihai City Avenue and shout and scream?" In this way, you should all be tied up and punished by the Yamen Ming canon......"
"Shut up!" Yang Muqin had already begun to have fire, but he still forcibly suppressed the evil fire in his heart, resisted the urge to pull out his pistol and beat this scholar who was obviously looking for death into a honeycomb, turned around and walked to the beggar who was still holding his feet and shouting silently and squatted down. "Are you alright?"
The little beggar's face was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and his eyes looked at the person in front of him in horror, he had already heard from the words of the scholar just now that the person in front of him was the "Chinese pirate" who had always been known for being able to fight in Beihai City, and he was now afraid of all but pain, and if it wasn't for the pain in his feet and the fact that he couldn't walk, he would probably have gotten up and run away.
Huang An squatted down on the side, checked it carefully, and said in a low voice, "Chief, he has a dislocated ankle here, just put it on." "Huang An, as a member of the special investigation team, has participated in emergency ambulance training, although he is not particularly proficient, but he is also better than ordinary people who have not studied medicine.
"Well, okay," Yang Muqin nodded and said, "Then you help me hold down his calf, and I'll twist the leg in." Yang Muqin has been receiving "special attention" from Beiwei since he joined the special investigation team, although this kind of dislocation has not been done, but the human anatomy and bones have been seen countless times, although it is said that he can't do an appendicitis operation or something, but it is no problem to connect this dislocated part.
"What are you going to do? Kill the people of my Wu Dynasty, and divide the corpses on the street! Do you military households still want to be shameless? Let the pirates run rampant in Beihai City, I must ask my cousin to join you, and I want to send you all to Liaozhen! When the scholar saw Yang Muqin and Huang An holding down the little beggar together, he immediately shouted, "Don't stop yet!" ”
Yang Muqin's movements were very fast, and he straightened the dislocated ankle joint in one fell swoop. The little beggar said "oops" and fainted directly.
Luffy could hear it clearly, the cry was crisp, definitely not a boy's voice, but like a woman's voice, and hurriedly came up to look. Although the beggar was wearing tattered clothes, the skin exposed from the torn waist was fair, the waist was thin, and the chest was slightly raised, which must have been a girl. If you look closely, the beggar's hair is scattered in front of her, her face is covered with mud, and her facial features are not clear, but just by looking at her nose and mouth, you can basically see that it is not ugly. He immediately got out of the car, came up with a look of concern and affection, and pretended to check the beggar's pulse.
Yang Muqin looked at Lu Qi with a puzzled expression and asked curiously, "What are you doing?" When will you be able to check your pulse again? ”
"I won't," Lu Qi whispered, "this is a girl, what you just did is already considered insulting and innocent, get rid of the person quickly, and send it back, so as not to be discovered." ”
"Huh?" Yang Muqin was a little overwhelmed now, "Isn't this a beggar?" How did you become a woman? ”
"Who said a woman can't be a beggar? Hurry up and get it out first! Let's talk about moving back. Lu Qi said quietly, making Yang Muqin confused, "What do you mean by moving back?" How does it sound weird? ”
When asked, he quickly picked up the beggar by the waist and put it on a shelf in front of the car, and fixed it with a safety belt. These Rolls-Royce scouts have a small guard plate in front that can be deployed to the sides, the length of which can accommodate a person no more than 1.8 meters tall, and there is also a position above the guard to block arrows, so that the wounded will not be injured by long-range projectile weapons during transportation - there is no way to do it if they are directly hit by a cannon. This was developed on the basis of the versatility of the Willis jeep, and the reconnaissance type of Rolls-Royce often had to take on more complex tasks, and transporting wounded soldiers was one of them, hence such a design.
The three men fixed the beggar to the cart, and then let a few soldiers lead the way, and then went back to the general's mansion. Here, Liu Yeqiang and Liu Chuanzhi continued to go to the governor's mansion together, leaving a group of passers-by who were still watching the excitement and refused to disperse and the scholar who was completely ignored. The scholar still stood there with an indignant face, cursing and swearing, but the people next to him paid no attention to his agitating speeches, and exchanged ears. "Those thieves' demon cars just now are really interesting!" "That's right, I didn't see horses or cows, but I was able to walk on my own." "It's someone hiding underneath and stepping on the ground on all fours."
"No way! It's not like I didn't see it just now, where is there someone down there? Besides, even if there were people, could they push a car that big and run so fast? "Also, that car is really fast enough, if it weren't for too many people in the way, it should be able to run faster!"
"The people are stupid!" The scholar snapped the fan and said, "The thief has been rampant in Beihai City, and this matter must be known to Uncle Cousin." Uncle Tang is a speech official in the Beijing Division, and the official residence is six grades, if he goes to participate in one book, he will definitely let Liu Chuanzhi go around without eating. By the way, it is also necessary to mobilize the imperial court and the heavenly army to advance by land and water to encircle and suppress An Yun's anti-thieves. How can my great country allow a group of overseas barbarians to wreak havoc like this! Must ......" Before the words fell, he himself froze, and the people next to him didn't have the heart to listen to his bold words here, and they had already dispersed one after another, leaving him with a small guy in the middle of the road to say this. An old farmer pushing a wheelbarrow behind him looked at him with a smile on his face, "Master Xiucai, let me make trouble." ”
The scholar couldn't help but be a little annoyed and angry, and kicked the wheelbarrow, but because he had no strength, the old peasant didn't even move, and still looked at him with a flattering smile. He was too embarrassed to do it again, and immediately flicked his sleeves, "Go home!" I'm going to fix a book! ”
