There was a bloodstain on the leg of Xiong Dadao's trousers, obviously injured, Hu Xuan saw that it was these two people, his mind turned around, calmed down his emotions, and pretended to be proud: "Ah, ah, ah, it's really you two prisoners, how about it, tell you to run, can you run?" Bite off more than one can chew. ”

The fat and thin one next to him were triumphant, scratching their ears and cheeks with joy.

When Xiong Dadao saw a man in military uniform standing in front of him, he snorted in his nose and did not answer.

Hu Xuan turned around, patted the fat man on the shoulder, and said, "Yes, yes, you are very good," and then turned to Shi Suo and said: "First reward the two of them with two oceans each, and then find a piece of paper, write down their names, and hand them over to the military office, and then record the reward in detail later." ”

The fat and thin duo were busy looking for paper and pens, neatly writing their names and handing them over to Shi Suo. The stone locks were folded and carefully tucked into the pockets.

"Okay, let's go." Hu Bolt ordered.

The fat and thin two and Shi Suo untied the bear knife and the scholar from the pillar and escorted them to the courtyard, Xiong Dadao walked with a limp, and Shi Suo helped him to the donkey cart, and the fat man said to Hu Shuan: "Sir, let me help you catch the car." The thin man also said, "I'm in a hurry." ”

"No, you don't." Hu Xuan said with a straight face: "Don't leak the news at will, let the accomplices of the chaotic party hear it, there will be trouble." ”

"Yes, yes."

Shi Lock drove the car, Hu Bolt rode a horse, out of the small village, walked south along the road, walked for a while, gradually away from the sight of the small village, Shi Lock looked at the left near no one, turned the car onto a small fork road, to a small wood, stopped the car, Hu Bolt dismounted, came to untie the rope of the two people on the car, the rope buckle tied by the fat and thin two people was quite tight, Hu Bolt and Stone Lock took a long time to untie it.

Xiong Dadao and the man looked at them suspiciously, and Hu Xuan said: "Mr. Xiong, we are not soldiers, we are impersonating, I heard that you are in distress, and we are here to rescue you." ”

The thin scholar was pleasantly surprised, "Really? Who sent the two surnames? ”

Hu and Shi reported their names, the thin man's surname was Yan, his name was Yan Jiashi, and Xiong Dadao was a close friend, Xiong Dadao smiled and said: "Just now, you pretended to be true, and I was thinking about how to break free from the rope and escape along the way, but my leg was injured and I was unable to move." I didn't expect you to save us. ”

Shi Suo said warmly to Yan Jiashi: "I have seen you in Aiwan Pavilion. When Hu Xuan heard this, he said happily: "Really? Mr. Yan, I heard that there are often highly educated people who talk about the current situation in the Aiwan Pavilion and have always wanted to go there to ask for advice, but they have not been able to do so. Okay this time, I can ask for advice. ”

Yan Jiashi said with a smile: "I am not a master, but there are a few benevolent brothers, who can indeed be called profound and knowledgeable, and I often learn from them to gain something." ”

The four of them walked along the path, driving the car forward, and the scenery became more and more barren along the way, and it had just rained, the road was muddy, and the donkey cart was moving very slowly. Shi Suo asked, "Where are we going?" Xiong Dadao identified the direction and said, "You go forward again, walk ten miles or so, there is a river, and there are my acquaintances there." ”

The path is narrow and uneven, one walk and one slip, the donkey cart is bumpy all the way, Xiong Dadao occasionally frowns, but he doesn't say anything, Hu Xuan asked: "Mr. Xiong, how is your injury, do you have to find a doctor first?" ”

"No," said Xiong Dadao, "I didn't hurt my bones, I only drilled a hole, and it will be fine in a few days, and it is very dangerous to find a doctor now." ”

After going forward for a few miles, he saw a river, the river was not very wide, and the water was quite urgent, Xiong Dadao guided the donkey cart to a river, where a small boat was parked, and there was a man wearing a hat sitting in the bow, who was fishing, Xiong Dadao let the stone lock help him get down from the car, and shouted to the man: "Lao Du, Lao Du." ”

The man in the hat looked up, saw that it was a bear knife, put down the fishing rod, took out the gangplank from the cabin and put it on the shore, walked over and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" Injured? ”

Xiong Dadao said: "Let's talk about it when we get on the boat." Hu bolted to an old tree on the bank of the river, tied the donkey cart and horses, and then the group followed Lao Du to the boat, and got into the cabin, which was only about a zhang long, and put some stoves and the like, and the space was not large but very tidy. Xiong Dadao introduced to everyone, Lao Du's name is Du Ruhuai, and he takes the boat as his home, just like a country fisherman, but he is actually a learned person. Lao Du untied the strip of cloth wrapped around the leg of the bear's big knife and inspected the injury, the wound was black and swollen, and it was obviously inflamed.

Xiong Dadao said: "Yesterday, Brother Yan and Brother He were caught by the authorities, I went a step late, when Lao Yan had just been escorted away, and Lao He was already locked up in the police station, I rescued Lao Yan, and then went to the police station to save people, but the people were not rescued, but were shot, almost arrested." ”

Hu Xuan interjected: "Brother Xiong, is this 'Brother He' you said also your good friend?" is also as knowledgeable as Brother Yan Jiashi? ”

Yan Jiashi said with a smile: "His name is He Yuan, he is a teacher, because he admires Qu Yuan, so he changed his name to He Yuan, in terms of learning, he is better than me, but he is a careful person, not as reckless as me." ”

After Du Ruhuai checked the wound, he raised his head and said to Xiong Dadao: "You forced your way into the police station, how can you do it?" No matter how bad those people are, the guns in their hands are not vegetarians. As he spoke, he moved a tandoor to the stern of the boat, filled a large tea pot with water, placed it on the stove, lit a few pieces of dry wood, and boiled the water.

Yan Jiashi said: "Yes, although Brother Xiong cut down a few policemen at that time, but the disparity was huge, or a shot, we barely escaped, but we didn't go far, I wanted to rest in a small village, but I met a small crumb, was drugged, fainted and tied up, fortunately Xiaohu and Xiaoshi passed by and rescued them." ”

Hu Xuan said: "We also coincidentally, we didn't know that those two guys were fascinated by you, when Brother Xiong rescued Mr. Yan, we saw that Brother Xiong's martial arts are really strong." ”

Du Ruhuai shook his head and said: "No matter how high the martial arts are, they are all fast guns and fast guns at the moment, how can they do it?" ”

Xiong Dadao smiled, ignored Du Ruhuai's complaints, turned his head to Hu Xuan and Shi Suo and said: "Since you are going south to find Mr. Sun's revolutionary party, you are people with ambition and courage, we have always admired and respected such people, you don't call me big brother and Mr., call me Lao Xiong, call them Lao Yan and Lao Du, we will be a family in the future." ”

Hu Xuan and Shi Suo heard this with a burning heart, and Hu Xuan said: "To meet you is actually what we are looking forward to, Mr. Sun's revolutionary party, although we have not found it, but it is also lucky to know people like you." I also know a Zhao Ming, a boss Wang, who is also so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, I have talked with them at night and have been deeply taught. ”

"Zhao Ming?" Yan Jiashi was stunned for a moment, "Is it nearly middle-aged, medium-sized, and round-faced?" ”

"Yes, yes," Hu Xuan said excitedly, "You know?" ”

Yan Jiashi nodded, "It's also an old acquaintance, but I haven't seen each other for nearly a year or two." I'm just trying to send him a letter to get him here. ”

On the tandoor at the stern of the boat, the water in the tea kiln was bubbling hot, Du Ruhuai took off the tea kiln, poured out the boiling water and cooled it in the bowl. Sitting on the deck, he asked Yan Jiashi: "Why were you arrested?" ”

Yan Jiashi said angrily: "Just because we discuss state affairs and discuss the current situation, they are regarded as a chaotic party, and they are very sensitive to people who pay attention to current affairs, and they can't wait for the common people to lose their brains and be slaves for them." ”

Du Ruhuai nodded, "The local tyrants and bureaucrats, the warlord emperors, are almost all like this, they don't let people have ideas and consciousness, and if they make a slight change, they will be whipped." He spoke very elegantly, not inferior to literati, which made Hu Xuan a little surprised, but after thinking about it, these people are probably like this, Zhao Ming looks like a peasant, and full of wealth. This Du Ruhuai has a hat and rags, and he looks like a boatman, and he can become a close friend with Yan Jiashi Xiong's big knife, and he is naturally a knowledgeable master, which is not surprising.

Yan Jiashi took over the conversation and said: "What's even more ridiculous is that we were targeted at the beginning because we were discussing a new book by Mr. Lu Xun, called "Diary of a Madman", and the vernacular used in that article was published in a magazine. ”

"Well," Du Ruhuai nodded, "They often turn a blind eye to bandits who extort some money, but they hate people who pay attention to current affairs and worry about the country and the people. ”

Xiong Dadao said: "When my leg is better, I will go to save people." ”

Yan Jiashi said: "This time, we can't be reckless, in the past two days, I will sneak back first, listen to the movement, see if the place where Lao He is imprisoned has changed, and then come back to discuss a foolproof plan." ”

"Okay."

At this time, the boiling water was cold, Du Ruhuai dipped a muslin in water, cleaned the wound of the bear knife, and asked Yan Jiashi at the same time, "What is the content of Mr. Lu Xun's article you said?" ”

Yan Jiashi said: "That new-style article, in the vernacular, is catchy to read, and the content, I will retell it for you from memory." After that, he recounted and retold while recalling, and if there was a forgotten part, he summarized it, and after a tacit repetition, he said: "This article is easy on the surface, but the meaning is very profound, for thousands of years of Chinese society and culture in the decay and decline, to accurately click, to the depth of accumulation, the breadth of the poison, have been whipped, and more importantly, the text expresses the desire for light, the struggle against darkness." Moreover, Mr. Lu Xun's style of writing is easy to come by, fluttering and wishful, it is really laughing and scolding, and it is all an article. ”

Listening to his narration and explanation, everyone seemed to see the article, and couldn't help but be fascinated together.

Hu Xuan was so intoxicated that Shi Suo said to him, "I listened to them discuss these things in the Aiwan Pavilion, and that's it. ”
