Chapter 51: The sky is full of sand
After this exclamation, everyone looked out of the window and saw the yellow sand all over the sky.
It's normal for the wind to blow a little sand from time to time, but it's very strange right now.
It is very close to Mt. Baektu and there is no desert nearby.
Sand, where does it come from?
At first, the crowd just watched, and then there was too much sand and the doors and windows had to be closed.
As soon as the doors and windows were closed, there was a knock on the door.
The pit viper approached and asked in a deep voice, "Big brother, it's me." ”
The pit viper heard that the person who came was the original subordinate, the cannon head, the one who had been scared by Zhang Sheng.
The pit viper just opened the door a little. In the gap, the man got in, hurriedly clasped his fists at Qi Tian and the others, and hurriedly said, "Captain, this wind and sand is strange, it is estimated that someone is making trouble." ”
Even if this cannon head didn't say it, Qi Tian had already guessed that it was man-made, but he didn't know who the other party was.
Maybe it really responded to the words of the smiling tiger, and some people wanted to teach Qitian a lesson.
At this time, Chunhua frowned slightly, as if she remembered something, and then said to Qi Tian: "I remember a person, there is a river in Banshi Town, called Mixed River, and there is a place called Huangshadu in the upper reaches of the Mixed River, where there is a group of bandits, and the bandit leader is full of sand. ”
As soon as Chunhua finished speaking, the pit viper also thought of this person, and then said: "Legend has it that he practiced a set of methods that can fly sand and stones, which is very weird. Could it really be that the smiling tiger said? ”
Qi Tian nodded and said softly, "I think so too, no matter what, we already know who the other party is." ”
At this time, Chunhua looked at Qi Tian and said in a deep voice: "Do you remember, what you said about the top beam in the afternoon?" ”
Qi Tian was puzzled, and then said, "Remember." Is there any connection? ”
Chunhua nodded, and then said: "Not only is there a connection, but there is also a big connection, as far as I know, I think this sand full of sky was still with the help of 'rolling mines', and it was a game." ”
"Now that the 'rolling mines' are in trouble, the first person who comes to mind is Sha Mantian, because Sha Mantian is righteous, and nine times out of ten he has made a promise to Sha Mantian, which is nothing more than to win the insurance team, and the 30 million taels of silver will be divided equally between the two."
"A few years ago, Nasha Mantian was rarely evil in Huangshadu, mainly selling yellow sand, not a bandit in the real sense, but in recent years, I don't know"
After Chunhua finished speaking, she looked at Qi Tian calmly.
Qi Tian lowered his head in contemplation and said, "So that's the case, no wonder he would help." It's just, what kind of method is he, such an evil sect? ”
Chunhua shook her head, very powerless.
For a moment, everyone was at a loss.
Hou Mi saw that everyone didn't speak, so he hurriedly said: "What is there to worry about, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, and ask me to say, directly pick up the knife and go to that crossing, and put down all the knives, and see how you can still scream." ”
The voice fell slightly, and then asked Xiang Chunhua: "Sister-in-law, that one is called Sha Mantian, how many people are under him?" ”
Chunhua chuckled at the corner of her mouth, and then said: "A few years ago, there were more than 20 people, and I don't know about it in recent years. ”
Hou Mi nodded, then looked at Qi Tian, and said very fearlessly: "Great Saint Brother, there are so many capable people under our hands, and none of them can be cured?" ”
At this time, Qi Tian's heart was very chaotic, and he couldn't find a good way for a while, and after listening to Hou Mier's words, it was a way, but I don't know if there are such capable people under him.
Qi Tian looked at the cannon head and said in a deep voice: "You go down and ask, if someone can solve this yellow sand, there will be a heavy reward." ”
Then the gun head slipped through the crack in the door.
After waiting for a long time, just as Qi Tian was about to give up, there was a knock at the door.
The pit viper strode forward to open the door, and saw that behind the cannon head was a small man wearing a felt hat and with pointy-eared monkey gills, and then let it in without hesitation.
The pit viper had seen this man, and after killing the "rolling mines", he collected the looted things on the way back to the owner.
The man first looked at Qi Tian with his eyes, and finally locked his eyes on Qi Tian, then clasped his hands into fists, and said in a deep voice: "The little one used to be a half-hung person who showed feng shui to others and looked at his face, acting as a warlock in the rivers and lakes, I see ......."
Hou Mi, who was anxious on the side, hurriedly said: "Don't be verbose, let's talk about the point." ”
The man was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "I can't hold my breath, I can't do big things." ”
"Lying. Groove, this is all burning eyebrows, you still ......"
Without waiting for Hou Mi to finish speaking, Qi Tian raised his hand to interrupt, and then said to the person in front of him, "Ignore him, continue to speak." ”
Hou Mier had fire, but he didn't dare to send it.
The man was also obedient, and went directly to the dry goods, "Little last night, watching the sky at night, today the unitary time and the time of the day converge, the wind will stop, after the wind stops, no matter what the captain wants to do, no one can stop him." ”
When Hou Mi heard this, he opened his mouth and scolded: "What looks at feng shui and physiognomy, for a long time, it is a weather forecast." ”
Everyone present, except for Qi Tian, did not understand what "weather forecast" meant.
Qi Tian ignored Hou Mier, and immediately said to the man, "Are you sure?" ”
"Head guarantee."
The man affirmed.
"Good. Second brother, monkey, brother Sheng......"
When the three of them heard the command, they instantly responded in unison: "Yes." ”
"No matter what the other party's reason is, since it provokes us, don't be unkind." Qi Tian said with a firm gaze.
"After the wind stopped, the second brother picked twenty good ones, and asked the 'word maker' to draw a detailed topographic map, and the three of us set off immediately. Brother Sheng was injured and stayed in the insurance team. ”
After the words fell, Qi Tian looked at the three of them, and said with a serious face: "Do you understand?" ”
"Understood."
After speaking, the three of them left with enthusiasm to prepare.
Watching the three of them leave, the afterglow of Qi Tian's eyes fell on the man.
Embarrassed, the man clasped his fists and said respectfully: "The little one is called Xue Zhao, and he knows a little about the skills of an unknown prophet." ”
Qi Tian didn't speak, just looked at the person who claimed to be Xue Zhao on the other side, but Qi Tian couldn't see through it.
But anyone who can join Qitian's insurance team has been screened layer by layer, and if they have no real ability, they will not be allowed to join at all.
Qi Tian looked at each other for a while, and the eyes of the two collided with each other, as if conveying something.
Soon, the corners of Qi Tian's mouth rose, and he said with a smile: "This operation, you can also go together!" ”
The man just chuckled and bowed with his fists folded.
Then he withdrew.
……
The yellow sand in the sky stopped after half an hour.
Qi Tian, who looked at the map in his hand, after determining the direction, faced the more than 20 strong men present, and asked in a deep voice: "What is our purpose?" ”
"If no one offends me, I will not offend; If anyone sins against me, cut down the grass and root it. ”
It's not loud, but it's powerful enough.
"Good. The time has come to test you again, and I hope you will come back as you go, understand? ”
"Understood." The crowd said in unison.
"Let's go."
After the words fell, Qi Tian left the insurance team compound with a group of men.
With a goose knife in hand, twelve Mosin-Nagant, and more than 20 fast horses, all of them took advantage of the dark night to rush to Huangshadu.
Because Huangshadu is located in Banshi Town, in the northwest direction of Niangzi Mountain, more than ten miles away, until the early morning, Qi Tian and his party arrived at Huangshadu.
Huangshadu is only a ferry in the upper reaches of the mixed river, because there are many shoals in the upper reaches, and a very thick layer of yellow sand is piled up, so there is an opportunity to make profits from the mining of "sand full of sky", so as to extort the landlords and rich people who come to buy yellow sand.
The "Huangsha Village" where "Shamantian" is located is famous far and wide, although they are all bandits, what they do is very different, so few people are willing to deal with him.
Qi Tian and his entourage dismounted on the periphery of Huangshadu, led the horse into the bush, guarded by six men, and the rest were divided into two groups, Xue Zhao followed the pit viper, and Qi Tian was still alone.
With the last time the "rolling mines" were extinguished, the pit viper and Hou Mier were very relieved and did not stop them.
At the same time, Hou Mier was still thinking that it would be best to bring back a sister-in-law this time - two women in one play, good-looking!
Qi Tian took out the map, looked at it with the two of them, and instantly imprinted the specific coordinates on the map in his mind, then said goodbye to the two of them, and instantly disappeared into the dark bushes.
According to the map, Qi Tian soon came to the shrubs on the periphery of the "Huangsha Village".
When Qi Tian clearly saw the entire "Huangsha Village", he suddenly remembered the tribal houses of the Neolithic Age in China, which were exactly the same, and it was conceivable that this "Shamantian" was such a stingy person, and he was reluctant to spend money to build even a decent house.
For Qi Tian, the most important thing at the moment is to capture the "Huangsha Village", and then he has no time to appreciate and complain.
Because it is a mixed river, "Shamantian" does not set up the so-called "water incense" position, that is to say, there is no night guard.
For Qi Tian, it just happened to be in the middle of the hand, and it was convenient to do. Affair.
Just when Qi Tian was about to get up and touch in, there was the sound of horses' hooves not far away, Qi Tian, who was amazingly hearing, judged by the sound, the other party was four horses, and one of the horses seemed to be injured, because the frequency of the horse's hooves was different.
Soon, not far away, four people and four horses appeared, but one of the horses was empty, and the horse was walking, and the outer (right) hind hooves were lame.
Several people came to the front of the stockade and dismounted one after another, and one of them was full of praise: "The sand scoop handle is really worthy of its name, this hand of yellow sand is really high!" ”
After the man finished speaking, he did not forget to give a thumbs up to the person called the sand scoop handle.
The man known as the sand scoop handle laughed instantly, and then said in a sincere voice: "This is nothing, it is all the ability to eat." ”
The person who spoke in the early stage said yes again and again, and then said: "Brother just doesn't understand, how this yellow sand is ......"
Before the man finished speaking, the sand scoop hurriedly interrupted and said, "Brother, although there is no need to say much about the relationship between you and me, don't forget the rules on the road, and inquire about other people's ability to eat. ”
After the sand scoop finished speaking, he laughed.
The person who spoke in the early stage, hearing that this person was reluctant to confide, instantly flashed a trace of essence in his eyes, and thought: "If it weren't for the request for you, I wouldn't have left your life at all, and for the matter against Qi Tian, naturally the less people know, the better." ”
Obviously, this man has murderous intentions.
Just when the sand scoop was laughing, he suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to look at the position in the bushes, Qi Tiansanzhang away, and said loudly: "What person?" ”
