"Ahem," Duan Laosan slapped his thigh, "That's a big liar, sir, he's really not a good person, he's a cheater, a profiteer, a villain, sir, go and arrest him." ”

"Why are you arguing?"

"That kid was originally Boss Ge's person, oh, let me tell you first, Boss Ge is a big boss, he has been living in our store, recruiting workers, and doing other businesses, that person is really a generous master, and he is also very kind to people, and he is generous......"

"Don't be wordy, don't talk about Ge Yuan, talk about what's going on today."

"Oh, you even know Boss Ge," Duan Laosan looked surprised, "You really know everything." 500 years before, 500 years later...... That's the case, today the kid said to introduce me to a business, there is a batch of goods, to be transported, however, to transport the goods first, and then give money, I thought, now the business is not good, the first to ship first, I will first undertake for the boss, what is the aftermath, let the boss personally go to talk to him. So I followed him to see the goods, who knew that halfway to the road, he changed his hexagram again, saying that he had to go to the goods at night, and if something went wrong, he had to pay all the price, I was scared when I heard it, what are they going to do, if they do something illegal, we don't ...... to accompany them."

"What the hell is it?" Hua Senjun interrupted him, "You are really wordy. ”

Duan Laosan slapped his thigh again, "The problem is here, I also asked him repeatedly, what kind of goods is it, but this kid's mouth is bubbling, one will say that it is cloth, another time it will be oil, and it will be fucking hemp brown again, you say, is there such a deal?" If you want to talk about Boss Ge, that's really a happy master, how can you bring out such a crooked melon, Boss Ge ......"

"Forget it, Ge Yuan is a wanted criminal, do you have anything to do with him? Where is he? ”

"Huh?" Duan Laosan opened his mouth wide, scratched his head, and showed embarrassment, "Wanted? This ...... It's weird. No, no, I don't have anything to do with him, when he lived in our store, I didn't think he was a good thing, he was like a smiling tiger, and he was a bad person. ”

Hua Senjun saw Duan Laosan seeing the wind and rudder, and couldn't help but be angry and funny, "Let me ask you, Ge Yuan, and this person today, are they in business?" Who contacts them on a regular basis? How to get in touch? Are there any unusual signs? ”

Duan Laosan blinked his eyes, tilted his head and thought about it, "Of course they are in business, no, no, maybe not, I can't say this, it's not a good thing anyway." As for who contacted them, I didn't pay attention to that, you know, there are a lot of chores in the transport agency, and I have to take care of the stable, which is very busy...... By the way, I remember, they do have a lot of contact with other people, sometimes, some people come in the store, they cats come into the house, who knows what they are talking about, sometimes, they go out for a long time, and when they come back, they get drunk, red-faced, these guys, eat and drink spicy ...... all day long"

He talked about it, Rory was verbose, Hua Senjun couldn't help frowning when he heard it, asked for a while, but didn't ask for much valuable things, and waved his hand, "Go back, what you came here today, keep it secret, don't talk nonsense to others." Besides, if there is any suspicious situation in the future, report it to me in time. ”

"Yes, if you lift me, I will report here in three days."

"Who told you to come here twice in three days, I mean there is something suspicious, you came to report it, you are such a fool." Hua joined the army and launched a fire.

As soon as it was dawn, Da Gang got up, left the inn, and walked into the swamp outside the city.

At this time, at the turn of spring and summer, the wild land is soft, and the swamp is full of quagmires, and all kinds of newly grown weeds and reeds are everywhere and vigorous. Da Gang got off the road, ran up the path, got off the path, and walked into the grass, he had already seen a suspicious figure behind him, following like a tail.

The man, wearing a straw hat and dressed like a peasant, did not take any farm tools, and followed Da Gang down the main road, and then down the path, and went straight to the swamp.

The swamp, full of puddles and weeds, and no roads, is the best place to get rid of tracking. The "farmer" in the back may also realize that the terrain in front of him is complicated, and he is afraid of losing it, so he quickens his pace and trots.

In front, there is a big puddle, on the edge of the pit, there are a few crooked willow trees, forming a small grove, inside and outside the woods, the wild grass grows half a person high, impervious to the wind, Da Gang's figure flashed, and it was hidden in the small forest.

The farmer didn't see where Da Gang went around to the edge of the woods just now, the terrain here is too complicated, thorns and grass, it is easy to block pedestrians, the big pit in front of it, the edge is weeds, the water is aquatic weeds, a piece of turquoise, there are birds are startled to take off, let out a burst of chirping.

The peasant, in order to cut corners, ran to the puddle, and was about to go around the edge of the pit into the woods, when he ran two steps, and suddenly felt that something was not right.

The ground under his feet was shaking, and his legs were sinking, he panicked, his legs pulled up hard, the harder, the more his body sank, he knew that he had fallen into the swamp, this muddy ground, it is easy to form a deep quagmire, although there is grass growing on it, but the ground is like thin mud, if people step on it, it will sink.

"Help—" he cried out in panic.

This wilderness is inaccessible to people, and because it can neither be cultivated nor built, it is a wasteland for miles in radius, except for the occasional hunter who hunts birds. If a person is stuck in a quagmire, if he cannot save himself, then he will be more than lucky.

He spread his hands and writhed, trying to climb out, but the mud puddle itself seemed to have a suction, sucking his body tightly, and after struggling for a while, his legs did not come out, but his body fell three feet again, reaching his waist.

"Help—"

Beside it, in a low tree, the grass swayed, and two figures came out, these two people wore wild grass camouflage on their heads, one held a bamboo bow, the other held a shotgun, and both of them carried hunting bags behind them, looking like hunters hunting birds.

"Big brother, help." When the peasants saw someone, they were overjoyed and hurried to call for help, and the two men looked over here and asked, "What are you doing there, how did you run into the mud pit?" ”

"My brother accidentally fell in, please two big brothers help."

The two hunters walked slowly this way, cautiously all the way, and the one with the shotgun said: "There are dark pits everywhere here, and you are not familiar with the road, so how can you not fall into it?" If it weren't for our brothers passing through here, you would definitely be dead, and this is not to scare you. ”

"Yes, yes, blame me for walking around, alas, I'm lucky to meet you two life-savers."

The shotgunman approached as he probed the ground beneath his feet, and came a few paces away from the peasant, not daring to go any further, and reached over the barrel of the shotgun. The shotgun was very long, and the farmer grabbed the barrel, and the two hunters pulled the handle of the shotgun together and pulled it out.

By this time the peasant had fallen into the mire from the waist down to the belly, and he had to pull it out again with great difficulty, and the hunter said to him, "Get down on your stomach, lie down on the ground, and turn your body sideways with all your might." All three of them exerted all their strength, and the peasant, whose face was covered with mud, grabbed the barrel of his shotgun and was slowly dragged out of the mud pit.

He was out of trouble, gasped, lay down on the ground, thanked the two hunters, and the hunter with the bow said, "What is your name?" How do you run around here? ”

"Brother's surname is Cai, today, alas, it's also a mistake, I got lost, and I came here, the two eldest brothers have your surname?"

"My surname is Zhou, and his surname is Guo." These two people are Zhou Ping and Xiao Guo, Xiao Guo since he escaped from the "Unarmed Corps" training camp, he stayed with Wei Dafu and others, joined the armed team, and was working with Zhou Ping at this time to build a hotel next to the welcome teahouse outside the city.

The two of them helped the spy surnamed Cai, and went to the big pit to wash the black mud on his body, this kind of mud pit is formed over time, and the mud inside exudes a foul smell, Zhou Ping and Xiao Guo couldn't help coughing, Xiao Guo smiled: "Old talent, you fell into the pit, and your body will stink for at least three years." ”

Zhou Ping lit a fire next to him, baked his clothes, roasted his body, and took out a few big birds from the hunting pocket behind him, set up a simple shelf on the fire with branches, plucked the birds, and put them on the fire to barbecue.

After a while, the fragrance of bird meat dispersed, the old man was frightened, and cold, smelled the fragrance, his index finger moved, salivating, the bird meat was not yet cooked, so he couldn't wait to take one, nibbled up, Zhou Ping smiled: "What are you in a hurry, peel off the paste, you see, it's like you've been hungry for three days." ”

The three of them sat on the grass and ate barbecue, feasted, ate and talked to each other, and soon called them brothers, more and more affectionate, and the old man patted his chest and said: "Two, although we meet in Pingshui, but this is fate, you have a life-saving grace for me, only a certain is not an ungrateful person, and there will be a place for brothers in the future. "His mouth was full of black and gray, like a beard.

"You're welcome, people meet in troubled times, and it's a chance to meet." Zhou Ping said.

The old man had an idea, "You are right, people meet in troubled times, and meeting is chance, only to meet the two in a difficult place, this opportunity is even more precious, I think, the three of us might as well learn Taoyuan three knots, worship as brothers with different surnames?" ”

"I'm okay with that." Xiao Guo said with a grin.

"Okay." Zhou Ping thought for a while, "Everyone has a time when they are in trouble, and many brothers have multiple roads. ”

"That's right," the old man was full of interest, and at that time he learned the appearance of "Liu Guanzhang", pinched the soil for the furnace, inserted the grass for the incense, pulled Zhou Ping and Xiao Guo, knelt down on the grass by the puddle, and made a "bowing" ceremony, solemnly recounted the chronology, and the result was that the old talent was the largest, Zhou Ping was second, Xiao Guo was the youngest, and the three of them swore to the mound under the leadership of the old talent, "I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I hope to die on the same day and month of the same year." ”

Zhou Ping said to Lao Cai: "Big brother, the two of us are just hunters outside the city, and we have no ability, so we will have to rely on the eldest brother to cultivate in the future." ”

"There is no problem," the old man patted his chest, "Don't hide it from the two brothers, the foolish brother is in the city, and General Lu is doing things under him, this time he came to track down a suspicious person, but his mother's horse stumbled and strayed into a mud pit. ”

Zhou Ping and Xiao Guo naturally knew about his origin, but they still pretended to be surprised, "Big brother, it turns out that you are an official." ”

The old man was a little fluttering, "Hehe, official, I can't talk about it yet, but as long as we wait for General Lu, it's not a matter of time or time?" Life is in the world, and you will be promoted and make a fortune. Brother, in the future, you will follow me to ensure that you will have a bright future. I think, you two are like this, in the future, follow me as an intelligence officer, Hua Senjun ordered us to develop more intelligence officers in the countryside to reconnoiter the whereabouts of the rebellious party and the people......"

When Zhou Ping heard this, he shook his hand again and again, "Big brother, this thing is not good, we are both honest grass people, usually the leaves fall, we are afraid of smashing our heads, before, I heard that in other villages, there are peasant associations or something, we all walk around, this year, or honestly plant a few points, hit a few birds, forget it." ”

"That's right." Xiao Guo also said with a shimmered head.

"Look at the two of you who are not productive," the old man was dissatisfied, "What can't you get along with, and you can't get along with getting promoted and getting rich, right?" Let me tell you, this matter is very simple, usually when farming and hunting, pay more attention, if there are suspicious people gathering to make trouble, if there is a conspiracy of the party, report it to me in time, and you will be rewarded. You don't need to fight on the battlefield, just have more eyes. ”

"That'...... All right. ”

The three of them were "worshipping" on the grass here, eating bird meat, and making them happy, but at the invitation of Dagang, the shopkeeper Zhu who went out of the city to see the goods, was angry.

He also went out early in the morning, according to the location agreed with Dagang, came to a place called "Juyou Warehouse" located three miles outside the city, Zhu shopkeeper has done quite proudly in recent years, the owner of this store, is also his old acquaintance, as soon as he entered the door, he greeted warmly: "Brother Zhu, why do you have time to come today?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhu arched his hand, "I was invited by a friend to come here to see the goods." His name is Qian Dagang, and it is said that he has hoarded the goods here. Is he coming? ”

"Qian Dagang?" The innkeeper was stunned, "I don't know this person, what goods does he have?" ”

"It is said that it is a good product," the shopkeeper Zhu leaned forward with his head, "It may be that he is afraid of being disrupted by the rebels, so he disguises himself as something else." ”

"No, no," the innkeeper shook his head and said, "Recently, the situation is not optimistic, the bosses of various industries are doubly careful, no one dares to get dangerous goods, the kind of goods you mentioned, I definitely don't have them here." (To be continued.) )
