Chapter 20 (1) The Demons Dance

1

The uproar in the empty field continued until late at night, and the man in black invited everyone to rest in the wooden hut next to him, but there were still a few people, undiminished, sitting on the field or talking or whispering. The torches had long since been extinguished, and the moon was shining in the sky, and it was almost as little as daytime.

Professor Wan didn't go to rest, sitting outside admiring the moon and chatting, Ding Changyou sighed with emotion: "Tie Million is a group of people and horses, well-trained, disciplined and high-quality, if it is used by the Anhui department, it is a pity." ”

"Yes," Professor Wan nodded in agreement, "From the management of this lair to the rules and practices of his subordinates, it can be seen that Tie Million is a talent, but," he looked at the other bandits who were messing around, "the other people are far from him, and they are basically a rabble." ”

"Whoosh-horn," in the distance, a spark rose and exploded in the air.

"It's not the New Year, what kind of fireworks are you going to set off?" Dafeng said in wonder.

"This may be a code," Li Mei said, "the poles on all roads ring, and fireworks are often used as contact codes, which can be transmitted far and quickly." ”

"Whoosh-horn," sounded again, and looking at the direction of the fireworks, it should be in the reeds under the stage.

The man in a long robe walked over, looked up at the fireworks that exploded in the air, shook his head, and said to himself, "I hope it's not Thor." ”

"Amitabha, Brother Zuo, don't scare us." "What? Is Thor coming? Several bandits next to him stood up in some panic. Professor Wan didn't understand what was going on, as soon as this cheongsam mentioned "Thor", it actually caused panic among the bandits, could it be that "Thor" is a very powerful character? He asked Li Mei in a low voice: "Xiaomei, what is the thunder god they are talking about?" ”

"I heard my father say that Thor is a one-legged thief, his martial arts are not bad, the most powerful thing is to make poison, this ability, is still above my father, in addition, he is also good at making gunpowder, it is said that the fireworks he makes, in the sky more than ten rings, can also form flowers."

Everyone on the stage began to talk and speculate for a while, but the fireworks did not go off again. Several men in black hurriedly got off the platform with knives, guns and weapons.

"Tonight, everyone be careful," Ding Changyou whispered: "A few of us, take turns to keep vigil, just in case, there are all kinds of people here, who are extremely vicious, killing people and committing adulterers, and they are all commonplace." ”

"Okay." Everyone nodded.

In the middle of the night, a few people went to the house to rest, the ground was covered with thick reeds as a floor, the stone lock stood at the first post, Dafeng put the rope in his hand, and hugged Li Mei to sleep by the wall. However, after one night, nothing unexpected happened.

Early the next morning, the sky was just bright, I heard a burst of voices and footsteps outside, Shi Suo got up and looked out of the window, only to see a group of people walking in from the field, talking and laughing while walking, one person in the middle, thin and withered, swaggering, is his old acquaintance flying mountain monkey.

Accompanied by a tall and thin man, a head taller than the flying mountain monkey, wearing a black gown, wearing a top hat, very respectful to the flying mountain monkey, behind the two, followed by a group of black-clothed bandits and two people in military uniforms, the group hugged back and forth, and walked towards the big house in the middle.

"It's broken," Shi Suo whispered, "the Flying Mountain Monkey is here, this guy knows me." ”

Professor Wan and the others also got up, and they all lay down at the window and looked out, accompanying the thin and tall Flying Mountain Monkey, with a polite appearance, everyone estimated that he was the master of Tie Million here, looking at the proud appearance of the Flying Mountain Monkey, it seemed that he was mixing well under the Anhui military valve. Professor Wan said to Shi Suo: "You try not to show your face as much as possible, or, find a scarf to cover your face."

"I'll give you makeup." Li Mei said next to her. She took out some medicine bags from her backpack, mixed them with water, and smeared them on Shi Suo's face, making him a big yellow face like a jaund, with thick eyebrows and a few wrinkles, and after a while he couldn't see his true face.

"Haha," Dafeng laughed beside him.

"Catch him, catch him," a shout came from afar.

At this time, Professor Wan and others were walking out of the room, in the open field, a group of black-clothed people were preparing breakfast, from the woods, ran out of two roe head rat-eyed men, wearing short clothes, it was the two people who said yesterday "lost the iron card", were stopped outside the wall, behind the two, chasing three or five black-clothed bandits, the two ran and shouted: "I want to see Mr. Hou, you have no right to stop me." ”

In the empty field, there were tables and chairs, and the two men ran over and knocked down two tables and chairs, causing chaos, and several black-clothed bandits carrying food buckets also put down their meals and ran over together to help round up the two men in short clothes.

"Who is making trouble?" From the middle room, a man with a yellow face and a sackcloth face, dressed in black, with a black cloth wrapped around his head, seemed to be a bandit under Tie Wan's men, he held a short stick, and two strode up, and hit the two men in short clothes who fled.

The two men in short clothes were very agile, one left and one right, flashed the short stick, one flew up and kicked at the yellow-faced man, and the other pounced on him and grabbed his short stick, cooperating very tacitly, and at the same time shouting: "Call Mr. Hou out." ”

The yellow-faced man ignored their shouts, turned around, and with a lightning grasp of his left hand, he was grabbing one man's shoulder, and at the same time he hooked his foot, tripping the other man to the ground.

"Okay," cheered as the crowd cheered.

Several men in black rushed up and grabbed the two men in short clothes, who were still screaming incessantly, and at this time, the flying monkey came out of the house.

"Who wants to see me?" The flying monkey asked with a calm face.

When the two of them saw Feishanhou, they were both stunned, and one of them asked, "Are you Mr. Hou?" Another said, "You gave us the Iron Lake card, but it was stolen by the thieves, and they wouldn't let us in." ”

"Who are you?"

"We are the two gentlemen of the Yangtze River," one of them said quickly: "Our brothers are very famous on the Yangtze River, no matter how strict the defense, they never go empty, and they are called the two gentlemen on the beam." ”

"Haha, hee-hee," the people next to him laughed.

The flying mountain monkey frowned and asked, "Who gave you the Iron Lake card?" ”

"The Iron Lake card, it was handed over by someone else, Li Erhei personally handed it to us, he said, it was your old man who asked him to transfer it to our brothers, let us participate in the Iron Lake Conference, and your old man personally gave us a reward. He also said that there were many masters at the conference, especially your old man, who had stolen a lot of good things, and compared with you, our brothers were really little mice and elephants. ”

"Hold on." The mountain monkey glared angrily.

The people on the field laughed. Behind the flying mountain monkey, the tall man in a long shirt came out and hugged his fist to everyone on the field, "Everyone, today everyone appreciates their faces, come to Tie's small land, Tie is full of hospitality, Mr. Hou entrusts his brother to run the conference affairs on his behalf, according to Mr. Hou's meaning, the meeting starts after breakfast, and now, all the heroes will first write down their respective origins, territories, and the status of their brothers in advance, for Mr. Hou's discretion." ”

Five or six men in black came up, each holding a white piece of paper in his hand, and distributed it to everyone in the field.

He is indeed an iron million. Professor Wan and the others took the paper and saw that there was a table on it, with "troops, numbers, names of leaders, weapons" and other contents. On the field, there was a chaotic voice again, "Wan Master, brother, I can't write, what should I do?" "Brother Wan, what's the use of writing this? Is it okay to talk nonsense? ”

Ding Changyou took the paper and wrote: "You Changding, Yueyang, Hunan, has 20 brothers under his command and 3 fast guns. When Professor Wan saw it, he also wrote: "Tao Shengwan, Changsha, Hunan, has 30 brothers, 10 weapons made in Hanyang, and 30 broadswords." ”

"Whoosh-horn," due south, there was a bang.

The yellow-faced and numb-skinned man in black came over and said to the two black-clothed bandits, "Haven't you found the person who fired the cannon yesterday?" Look for it again. ”

Professor Wan saw that the tables in the empty field, the two rows in front, had been pasted with names on the corners of the tables, with the words "Zhang Fangxiong in the city" and "Sun Binglong in Huangyizhou".

After breakfast, Professor Wan and others and Ding Changyou found a corner to sit down, and the bandits were clamoring to grab seats, and those with their names written on the corner of the table sat proudly, and those who couldn't hang their names tried to grab them, and there were too many tables and chairs in the empty field, and after they were all seated, they were still half empty. And the newcomers outside are still walking through the woods and concentrating on the empty field, and there are fewer and fewer empty seats for tables and chairs in the empty field.

"This is written incorrectly." A voice shouted.

Looking up, it was a short and fat man, with a big round head, bare and shiny, pointing to a note posted on a table, and shouting angrily. The people around him looked at him with a smile and a smile.

The yellow-faced numb-skinned man walked over and asked, "Where is the writing wrong?" ”

"Our unit, I'm the leader, why do you write the name of Boss Bai?" Humpty Dumpty's face was shiny and he yelled menacingly.

"That's right," a shrill voice next to him said, "It should be written on the second bald donkey, which is serious." ”

"Fart," Humpty Dumpty scolded, turning back, "What bastard said, kind of stand up." The people next to him laughed loudly, but they didn't know who had just said it. Humpty Dumpty didn't have the time to pay attention to the people who made fun of him, turned back to the yellow-faced man and said, "I'm the leader, Boss Bai is incompetent, it's already over, hurry up and change the name of my second brother Li." ”

Two bald asses? Shi Suo felt that this name was a little familiar, and Li Mei said with a smile next to him: "This is the one who fought that day, the big white elephant and the two bald donkeys fought, and the three-flowered cat chased you." Shi Suo thought about it all of a sudden, "Haha, it turned out to be them, why didn't that three-flowered cat come?" ”

"We only know that Boss Bai is the leader," the yellow-faced man said, "If you have any objections, please sit down in the back first, and then ask Mr. Hou to decide." ”

"Why should I sit in the back?" The second bald donkey stared at the round eyes and stepped over to the table with the note written on it, "I'm going to sit here." ”

The short stick in the hand of the yellow-faced man poked at the chair, and the short stick rushed up, and if the two bald donkeys continued to sit on the chair, they would inevitably be poked in the butt by the short stick, and the people around him laughed loudly, and the shrill voice next to him said: "Be careful of the donkey's buttocks." ”

The people next to him laughed, and the second bald donkey blushed and cursed: "Fart." While taking the arm of the yellow-faced man with his hand, the yellow-faced man raised his hand, and the iron rod poked straight into the face of the second bald donkey, and the second bald donkey flashed back, but he did not watch out for the yellow-faced man kicking him, and the middle of the second bald donkey was in the waist and crotch, and the short and fat body of the second bald donkey was like a leather ball, rolling out several meters away, causing a burst of laughter.
