Chapter 39 (1) The Cripple and the Blind

When everyone cleaned up the battlefield, went out of the lake and went ashore, and returned to the Baihua Temple, it was already evening.

Man Bohua had woken up, Shi Suo acted as a doctor, cleaning Man Bohua's wounds, changing dressings and bandaging, Man Bohua asked, "Shi Suo, Dafeng, how did you get here?" ”

"We're here to suppress the bandits," Shi Suo said, "The bandits robbed us of our goods and got in our way, and these evil things should have been thrown into the lake to feed the king a long time ago." Big Brother Man, how did you fall into the hands of Shen Jingang? ”

"It's a long story," Man Bohua sighed, "I found an errand in Yueyang City, hoping to make a name for myself with my own talent and learning, who knows, this year, no one is easy to mix, and the Chen Tuan garrison in the city does all kinds of evil all day long, looting people's wealth, making the people's grievances boiling, and the people's lives are becoming more and more difficult......"

Hu Xuan interjected: "Chen Crooked Neck is Zhang Jingyao's confidant, Zhang Jingyao's set, he naturally learned it." ”

"Yes," Man Bohua nodded, "I was there, and I was ostracized by the villain, and I felt more and more disappointed, so I had the idea of going, and wanted to go back to my home, wait and see the opportunity, before leaving, I asked a friend surnamed Peng to go to Yueyang Tower for a turn." ”

Hu Xuan said: "Brother Man, if you are tired, take a rest for a while, don't worry." ”

"It's okay, the injury is not fatal. This is the second time that Shi Suo and Dafeng have saved me, and there are some things that I have to tell you right away. On that day, Lao Peng and the two of us, walking in the west of the city, walked from Yueyang Tower to Xiao Qiao's tomb, now in the bitter cold season of winter, outside the city, there is a depression, Yueyang Tower has no longer the majesty of the past, Xiao Qiao's tomb is about to be flooded by dry grass, we are both the kind of people who have no aspirations, the mood is melancholy, facing the ancient building grass, naturally is emotional, feeling nostalgic for national affairs, family affairs, and saying something dissatisfied with the current situation. At this moment, a procession came from the west of the city, and in the middle of it was a carriage, which looked like a prisoner's carriage. A cage made of wood, which was loaded on a car. ”

"What?" Duan Laosan's eyes widened, "Are there any prisoners in that cage?" What does it look like? He immediately remembered He Yuan, who was arrested, and the others next to him were also staring at Man Bohua, and everyone couldn't find He Yuan's whereabouts. At this time, when he heard Man Bohua talk about prisoners, like Duan Laosan, he immediately thought of He Yuan.

"I didn't see this clearly," Man Bohua said this, shook his head, and sighed, "At that time, I saw the army, and it was too late to dodge. I didn't want to look closely, but there were indeed people in the prisoner's car, and I really didn't pay attention to what it looked like or how old it was. Those soldiers, all of whom looked like they had been walking for a long time, seemed to have walked for a long time. ”

"Whether it's Lao He or not, let's go and see." Shi Suo said.

Man Bohua looked at everyone and asked with some puzzlement: "Old He?" Has a friend with the surname Ho been arrested? I had a different idea. After returning from the west of the city that day, in the afternoon, Lao Peng suddenly came to me again and said to me. Chen Dade, the clerk of Chen's crooked neck regiment department, was drunk and confided to him that there was a teacher from Changsha who was escorted here, and I heard that the man was very bonely. He was beaten many times, but he refused to confess. When I was chatting with Lao Peng before, I once told him that there is a Professor Wan in Changsha, who is kind to our family, and when Lao Peng heard Chen Dade say 'Mr. Teaching in Changsha', he thought of Professor Wan and asked Chen Dade what was the surname of the teacher, but Chen Dade resolutely refused to go any further. ”

"Professor Wan was not arrested, it was another person who was arrested, named He Yuan." Shi Suo said.

"Oh," Man Bohua nodded, "I was afraid that it was Professor Wan, and I was really anxious when I heard Lao Peng, but the prisoners were generally held in the regimental headquarters of Chen's crooked neck, and they couldn't see it, and they wanted to rescue, with the strength of the two of us, it was even more delusional, so I asked Lao Peng to stay in the city, and while continuing to listen to the news, I kept an eye on the prisoner's movements, and I immediately went out of the city and went to Changsha to report the news." ”

"Thank you, Big Brother Man." Dafeng said.

Man Bohua shook his head, "What kind of thanks, when you rescued your father and our whole family, we were still ignorant of our lives, and you saved people with the word 'righteousness', compared with you, I am far behind." ”

"Then how did you fall into the hands of the bandits?"

"I did not dare to delay, so I went out of the city at once, and on the main road outside the city, I met two crippled men, one lame and the other blind, and they helped each other to walk on the road, and the lame man looked at the road, and the blind man helped the lame man to walk. Although they are all crippled, they are not slow to walk, and they seem to be very skillful in cooperation. ”

Dafeng glanced at Duan Laosan, "It can't be your subordinate, right?" I have seen beggars helping each other like this, going out to beg for a living. ”

Duan Laosan shook his head, "I don't know, we are not a very tight organization, especially in these years, there are more and more beggars, some of them form a group like us, and some of them act alone, the situation is different." Brother Man, you continue. ”

"Good. The two beggars did not ask me for food at that time, but I saw that they were handicapped and quite pitiful, and because they had to walk a long way, they had dry food with them, so I took out a piece of bread and handed it to them. At that time, the lame man, with a gloomy face, did not nod his head in thanks like a normal beggar, and did not pay any attention to me, and his eyes were still a little cold, without any gratitude. Of course, I gave them a piece of bread, and without asking them to be grateful, I gave it and immediately drew my legs and hurried away. But the blind man nodded to me, took the cake, and said thank you several times. ”

"No," called Shi Suo beside him, "you are mistaken, you go to give the cake, it should be the lame man who saw it, the blind man does not know, how can it be that the blind man is thanking him vigorously, and the cripple is like not seeing?" You're telling you the other way around, aren't you? ”

"Absolutely not," Man Bohua said: "I was in a hurry, and I didn't react, but after walking a few steps away, my mind turned, and I felt that something was wrong, and I looked back at the two beggars, and it happened that they were both looking back at me, and they were both looking at each other with some suspicions, and I saw that the lame man smiled, he had been gloomy and gloomy, and his laughter was also cold and cold, a few steps away, it made people feel a chill, I couldn't help but be taken aback, and then I guessed that these two people might not be good people, and they were about to turn around and walk, when suddenly, the lame man's right hand was raised, Swinging at me, a sleeve arrow flew out, the lame man's movements, fast and ruthless, obviously a martial arts master, I watched him throw his hand out of the arrow, eager or not completely dodged, a small arrow, stuck in the leg. As he spoke, he picked up his trouser leg, and sure enough, there was a wound on the leg, and it was still bandaged with strips of cloth, and the blood on the strips of cloth had dried up.

"Hidden Arrows?" Dafeng tilted his head and thought for a while, "Who has such a high level of kung fu?" That Zhang Shenjian must have it, but he's dead. (To be continued.) )
