Chapter 5 Heavy Blows to Lijiazhai

Zhu Qing and Xiaobao were pushed into the cabin by the guards, changed into two clean clothes, and then escorted to work as boatmen. Although Chen Yuanyuan saved the lives of the two of them, Liu Qingfeng, the leader of the Tian Mansion guards with knives, was cautious and suspicious by nature, so he categorically would not let the two of them get close to Lord Tian and Chen Yuanyuan.

Zhu Qing deliberately paid attention to and deliberately covered up the tattoo of the word "ten" on his right arm when he changed clothes, although he didn't know when he had more tattoos on his body for no reason, but he felt that this tattoo was definitely not simple, because just now he saw that the assassin leader hemp rope man also had such a tattoo on his right shoulder. So, whatever the sign is, it can't be exposed now. So after getting dressed, Zhu Qing packed his belt very tightly, for fear that if he accidentally bare his chest and shoulders, even ten Chen Yuanyuan would not be able to save himself.

"Young Master, where are we going?" Xiaobao asked in a low voice.

"Nonsense, didn't you hear them say let's go boating? Tian Daren wanted to speed up his return to Beijing and ordered the ship to have dual power of manpower and wind. Hey, I don't understand to tell you, just follow me. Zhu Qing said.

The two of them went to the bottom of the sailboat and shook the paddle with the other boatmen.

Xiaobao suddenly exclaimed, "Blood! ”

The guards who acted as boatmen sneered, without the slightest expression of surprise on their faces. Zhu Qing also looked at the water, his brows were tight, it must have been caused by the fight between the guards and the assassins. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back, and the ferry that had just fought was now blood red in the reflection of the setting sun.

Just on the surface of the blood-red ferry, the head of the big man with hemp rope came out of the water and sank again.

"What to do? So many brothers died, and the eldest brother was captured by them, what will we do in the future? In a barren mountain range, several big men who were wet and with knife wounds walked sadly, discussing as they went.

"We can't leave Brother Cheng behind! We're going to go back and hijack the ship! A handsome young man said angrily, and was about to go back.

"You're crazy! Now go back, you're a wild one! An older man shouted, and the young man had to stop and clench his fists. Without looking back, he said, "What then?" How do you tell Yufeng when you go back? ”

The young man's question, everyone was stunned. After a moment of silence, the old man said, "Go back first, and when it gets dark, we will go and bury the sacrificed brothers." If Yufeng asked about Brother Cheng, she would say that Brother Cheng went back to his hometown Shuangchengzi to find an alliance with Shuangchengzi. ”

Everyone nodded and continued to drive up the mountain road.

On a mountain ridge, a flag was erected, and the wind was waving in the afterglow of the sunset, and the flag was embroidered with three big characters of "Lijiazhai". Looking at the flag as bright as new, it can be seen that the village has not been in existence for a long time.

As soon as the men returned to the village, a woman hurriedly greeted her, this woman with delicate eyebrows, pure and lovely, although she was dressed plainly, but she could not hide her virtuous wisdom in the slightest. When this woman first came out, she was smiling, but when she saw that only a few people had returned, the smile on her face gradually sank, and when she looked closer, the smile disappeared in an instant, and her face was full of anxiety.

"Huzi, where is my father? Why didn't I come back with you? The woman asked the young man anxiously.

"Yufeng, I'm ......" Huzi wanted to speak and stopped, it turned out that the woman was Yufeng.

"Uncle Xiang, you say, where is my father?" Yufeng saw that Huzi's face was embarrassed, and the uneasiness in his heart increased, so he turned around and asked the elderly man, Xiang Bo.

After all, Xiang Bo is an old Jianghu, and he didn't show it like Huzi at the moment, but held Yufeng's thin shoulders with a smile and said, "Yufeng, Brother Cheng is fine, but we were hit hard by the officers and soldiers this time, and many brothers died. Revive my 'Li Jiazhai'. ”

Yufeng listened to Xiang Bo's words and was suspicious, but when she saw that only a few of them came back with injuries on their bodies, she knew that what Xiang Bo said about the loss was true. She eased up a little in her heart, and muttered, "Returning to her hometown Shaanxi from here, how can my father leave alone?" ”

"It's because of the long distance that the eldest brother will rush non-stop." Xiang Bo said.

"Yes, yes, yes." A few men next to him echoed.

"Okay, Uncle Xiang, you go into the village to rest and heal your injuries, seeing that you are all injured, this mission must be very tragic." Yufeng said and helped Xiang Bo in.

"yes, if it weren't for a fool who suddenly appeared halfway, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to get out." Xiang Bo walked into the village with everyone and said.

"Fools?" Yufeng asked in surprise.

"Yes, people are handsome, but they are a little stupid, and they don't know whether they live or die." Xiang Bo said, and couldn't help but smile.

"This guy is really interesting." Although Yufeng didn't see him, he couldn't help but smile when he heard Xiang Bo say this.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about me, go and help Huzi rub the medicine, that kid was heroic just now, if he hadn't helped your father block a knife, Brother Cheng might ......" Xiang Bo didn't finish speaking. Yufeng had already come to Huzi with the golden creation medicine.

Huzi ** sits upright with his upper body, although he is young, his body is tough and his muscles are strong, especially the scar on his back, which shows the charm of a man.

"Huzi, thank you for mentioning that my father blocked a knife." Yufeng turned behind Huzi and looked at the scar and said.

"It's okay, for you, for Brother Cheng, for our Li Jiazhai, my tiger will not say a word even if he is covered with scars." Huzi turned around and grabbed Yufeng's hand.

Yufeng hurriedly retracted her hand and said shyly, "You bear with it, I'll help you rub the medicine." As he spoke, he took the golden medicine and rubbed it on the scar behind Huzi.

Huzi really didn't say a word, he gritted his teeth, sweating profusely, but he didn't say anything.

When Xiang Bo saw them, he smiled on the side, "Just shout out the pain, don't hold it." ”

But Huzi was unmoved, gritting his teeth until Yufeng finished applying the ointment.

"Thank you, Yufeng." Huzi looked at Yufeng affectionately and said.

Yufeng blushed, nodded and turned around.

"Okay, let's rest for a while, and when it gets dark, we will go down the mountain to help the brothers collect the bodies." Xiang Bo interrupted Huzi's affectionate expression.

The last afterglow of the setting sun disappeared in front of the door of "Lijiazhai", and the men of "Lijiazhai" who had taken a rest were preparing to go down the mountain to help collect the bodies of the brothers who died in the ferry today.

"I'll go too." Yufeng followed.

"The road is difficult and dangerous, I don't know if today's war has alarmed the Suzhou government, although it is a suburb, but it is ......," Xiang Bo said.

"No, I must go, so many brothers have died in our 'Li Jiazhai', I am going to see them off for the last time.

"Uncle Xiang, just let Yufeng go, don't worry about me here." Huzi said to Xiang Bo.

"Okay." Xiang Bo nodded and led everyone down the mountain.

This time, the people of "Lijiazhai" used their own ferries to cross the river, because they wanted to move the bodies of the dead brothers on the other side back to the back mountain of "Lijiazhai" for collective burial.

Just as they were rowing across the river, they saw a dark figure moving corpses on the opposite shore in the distance.

"Oh no, someone stole the corpse!" Xiang Bo exclaimed. In order to earn more money, some corpse collectors decorate the found corpses according to the employer's description, and then pay for the money, not caring whether it is the deceased himself. Therefore, stealing corpses has become a technique for corpse diggers. It's a bit perverted when I think about it, but it's all forced by livelihood, and there is something even more perverted, that is, eating human flesh!

Chongzhen has been in power for many years, maybe the sky is about to die, there is famine everywhere in the country, and the scene of cannibalism may sound a little terrifying and exaggerated, disgusting and perverted, maybe there is no know, but everyone should have heard of human meat buns, so stealing corpses has become a more perverted reason.

It was not surprising that Xiang Bo was the first to think of stealing the corpses when they saw someone moving the corpses on the shore, so they hurriedly rowed and rushed towards the opposite shore.

"Who? Stop it! Finally sliding to the shore, Huzi raised his torch and shouted.

The man on the shore turned his head sharply!

"Huzi?"

"Big brother?!"

"Daddy!"

It turned out that person was the hemp rope man, the brother in their mouth, Li Zicheng!

"Didn't they capture you? How......? Xiang Bo hugged Li Zicheng in surprise.

"This is a bit strange, I'll tell you slowly when I go back." Li Zicheng said.

"Daddy! Uncle Xiang, didn't you say that my father would go to Shaanxi's hometown? Yufeng cried with joy and hugged Li Zicheng tightly.

"Uncle Xiang doesn't say that, how can you rest assured of your father? Could it be that you were arrested by officers and soldiers? Li Zicheng said to Yufeng with a smile.

"We just saw people moving bodies, one of them being a thief." Huzi said.

"Hey, I think my "Li Jiazhai" is not good for the teacher, and the first vote met Liu Qingfeng, a guard with a knife outside the Jinyi Guard Palace, which killed so many of my brothers. Li Zicheng said, and couldn't help but feel sad.

Xiang Bo patted him on the shoulder, "As long as the eldest brother is still there, our 'Li Jiazhai' will not disperse!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded, "Let's hurry up and let the dead brother rest in peace as soon as possible." ”

"What about those officers and soldiers?" Huzi asked.

"Shen Jiang! It's better than letting them make human meat buns. Li Zicheng said coldly.

After cleaning up the ferry, Li Zicheng led the brothers of "Lijiazhai" to cross the river and rushed back to the cottage overnight.
