Chapter III: Hostages
Mi Bao's thin body was strangled by two thick and powerful arms, and he couldn't move, but his ears were full of peaches' cries: "Who are you?" Let go of me, let go of us! ”
Mi Po turned his head with difficulty, and saw the two thin rattan arms of a yellow-skinned, skinny man wrapped around the body of a peach pale green sprinkled with small white flowers, and he felt that the small flowers must be very painful, so he lowered his head sharply and bit down the thick arm in front of him.
The people behind were caught off guard, "Ah! With a shout and let go of his hand, Mi Po immediately rushed over like a marble from a slingshot, and hit his head on the thin man who was holding the peach, the man was knocked back a few steps, Mi Po took the opportunity to grab Peaches' hand, and the two of them opened their legs and ran.
But at this moment, two more people in black clothes and black pants came out of the grass, one left and one right blocked in front of Peach and Mi Bao, and the two guys behind rushed over and grabbed them again.
The thin man stretched out his slender hand full of knots and hit Mi Bao's face, and the bright red blood crawled out like a small worm along the corner of Mi Bao's mouth, and landed on his patched coarse cloth coat, hesitated for a moment, and got in.
"Damn, the people in Valley Town are all bandits! Even their little Wang Balamb is black-hearted, and he dares to block Lao Tzu's Heng'er! The thin man pushed Peaches to the other man in black, rubbing his chest that was hurt by Mi Po, and then scolded, "Tie me up, see how dare these two little bastards go wild!" ”
Two men in black clothes and black pants pulled out a hemp rope the thickness of their little fingers from their waists, and tied the two struggling teenagers one by one.
Peaches raised her head, glared at the thin man, and said, "Why do you want to tie us up, who has no grievances and no enemies?" Why are you arresting us? ”
"Why?" The thin man picked up the arrow that Mi Bao had dropped on the ground just now from the ground, "Click" and pouted two paragraphs, and said with a mouthful of yellow teeth: "If you don't learn well at a young age, what kind of arrow do you shoot?" Want to be a bandit, don't you? Your father and mother don't care about you, Lao Tzu will discipline and discipline you for your father and your mother! ”
"You deserve it too!" Momoko said without showing weakness, "When my father comes back, I will definitely let him clean you up!" ”
Peach's father Zheng Liu has been taking people down the mountain for some days, and she knows at this time that far water can't quench her thirst, so she wants to scare and scare these people by saying it now.
"Your father? Who is your father? You didn't call me, did you? The thin man looked obscene, and brought two thin, bloodless lips close to Peach, and the yellow transparent beard almost stuck to Peach's face.
"Her father, Zheng Liu!" Sitting on his knees on the grass with a black trouser pressed down by his black pants, he threw his face up and shouted as loudly as he could.
When the thin man and those guys heard the word "Zheng Liu", they were really stunned, and it took a while to come back to their senses, you look at me, I look at you, staring at the small with big eyes.
The thin man was the first to grin with a big mouth full of yellow teeth, and he dusted off the dust and broken grass leaves, circled the peaches, and said:
"Whose wild girl should I be, it turned out to be Zheng Liu, the daughter of the sixth master!"
After he finished saying this, he turned around and slapped the tall man next to him who had just grabbed Mi Bao, and there was another strange laugh, which reminded Mi Bao of the laughter of an owl in the silent night.
The tall man blinked his eyes with, and said puzzledly: "Brother, you Biao, why are you still laughing after you caught Zheng Liu's daughter?" Aren't you afraid that he will settle accounts with us? ”
The two black-clad and black-pants next to him also nodded their heads like chickens.
"You're the fucking Biao!" The thin man was a little angry, and took two steps forward, but he tripped over the bow that Mibao had thrown on the ground, and he raised his foot and kicked the bow into the grass beside him, and continued impatiently:
"It's a good deal. I think that Zheng Liu robbed my goods and killed my brothers. God favored me and sent his girl over, if I don't return my goods this time, take five hundred oceans with me, hum, don't want to exchange these two rabbit cubs back! ”
The tall man and the other two in black and black pants listened and laughed along. The tall man laughed and walked towards the parchment bucket with arrows, and at the moment when his hand was about to touch the rim of the barrel, a small bucket big hand suddenly stretched out from the half-human tall wild artemisia tree and grabbed his wrist with a "bang", and before he could call out, a big foot in black cloth shoes and white socks tripped on his ankle, and he fell to the ground with a big backshell.
"Sir! It was Mr. Monk who came to save us! Momoko jumped to her feet and shouted.
The situation in front of him took a sharp turn for the thin man unexpectedly, less than ten meters away from him, his younger brother was being twisted behind his back by a tall monk, his eyes were blazing and wanted to look at this side, there were several children standing high and low next to him, there was a tall man who turned around and ran in the direction of the town, the thin man didn't have to think about it to know, this is to go back to call someone. The boiled duck was about to fly, and the thin man gritted his teeth and squeaked, pulled out a box gun from his waist, and threw a shuttle at the sky.
As soon as the gunfire stopped, the thin man shouted: "Bald monk, let my brother go, or I will shoot and kill these two little rabbit cubs!" ”
The monk replied coldly: "Let these two children go, otherwise I will kill your brother with one palm!" ”
Both sides suddenly fell silent and confronted each other.
Micpo looked down to see the tiny white flowers of the shepherd's cabbage swaying gently in the green grass, and the thin man stood there changing his feet once, stepping them under the mud-stained soles. He glanced at Peach, and Peach was looking at him, and her dark mother-like eyes gave off a soft light, making Mi Po feel warm on her body, so he smiled at Peach. The smile encouraged Peach, and she turned to the thin man and said:
"Uncle Thin Monkey, let us go, I promise not to let the monk kill you."
The thin man was furious, he pushed the peach and shouted, "Little girl, who do you call the thin monkey?" Who do you call Skinny Monkey? See if I don't shoot you! ”
The thin man's radical actions made his tall brother on the other side cry out "ouch", "ouch", and he made room to shout while shouting: "Brother, the monk asked you to untie the rope for those two children, or your brother and my hand will be useless!" ”
This sentence really worked, and the thin man jumped to his feet and scolded: "Bald monk, if you dare to do anything to my brother, I must kill these two little kings and eight lambs today!" ”
Although he scolded so strongly, he still let the two black clothes and black pants untie the hemp rope that tied Mi Bao and Peaches. Before they could rub their arms, their wrists were immediately tightly clenched.
The monk over there also seemed to let go, and the tall man's body stood a little straighter, and he also stopped "oops".
At this moment, the monk's back exploded, and Tao Jinbao, who had just run back, came from the town to rescue him.
Although the people in the town usually take care of their own livelihood, most of them are hard-working people, and they are still quite grouped when they encounter problems, and with Zheng Liu's backing, their waists are slowly rising.
They ran after Tao Jinbao, armed with hammers, tongs, clubs, and other weapons, and some carrying birds, shovels, and hoes.
The thin man involuntarily stepped back, his face turned pale, he raised his gun and hugged the sky again, and shouted: "Whoever dares to step forward one step further, I will kill these two little cubs!" ”
The crowd stopped.
Peaches stood on tiptoe and shouted loudly to the crowd: "Mother, mother! ”
Peach's mother stood at the front and cried out: "Girl, don't be afraid, my mother is here to save you!" ”
Mi Bao also saw the three masters and the three mothers, and their faces seemed to be very angry, just like the expressions he usually had when he accidentally broke the scoop or bowl.
Sure enough, as soon as Peach's mother's voice landed, the third mother shouted: "Mi Bao, you are a wasted person, why don't you study hard and run to the wilderness!" ”
Mi Bao felt that he was very shameless, he was escorted by outsiders here, and scolded by his relatives there, he lowered his head even lower, and he wanted to get into the grass.
At this time, the monk's voice sounded unhurriedly: "This lord, it seems that you are also a man, don't involve innocent children in the affairs of adults, in this way, you let them go, and I will also send your brother over, let's go our own way, okay?" ”
The thin man spat on the ground, his eyes rolled a few times, he took two steps forward and said, "Monk, I heard that you are a gentleman, is this how you teach children?" You don't know how to count, wow, I have two in my hand, and you have one in my hand, this is a loss-making business, do you think it's appropriate? ”
Peach's mother hurriedly picked it up and shouted, "Then what do you say?" We all depend on you, don't hurt the child! ”
"Actually, it's simple," the thin man felt that he had the initiative, and dragged a long voice proudly, "Let's wait for a change, you let go of my brother, what about the children on my side, you also pick one, and the remaining one, you take five hundred oceans to redeem." How's that, fair, right? ”
"You're dreaming! It's going to be put together! The monk replied uncompromisingly.
"Alright then!" The thin man suddenly became impatient, it is estimated that he has thought of the long night and dreams, he raised his gun to Peach, "Then you will wait to collect the corpse!" Lao Tzu is out today! ”
"Don't, don't! Boss, if you have something to discuss, you can let us talk about it! Peach's mother cried and begged.
"Okay, I'll give you a bag of cigarettes, you decide who stays and who leaves, my conditions are already aggrieved enough, give you enough leeway, let's discuss it!" And the thin man said to him that he had come down from the donkey.
