Chapter 63 (2) Tracking and Pursuit

"I'll just say," Su Shichang patted his thigh, "Your father followed the guy surnamed Ling, where will it end well?" He just didn't listen, and now he really has attracted retribution, don't worry, let's gather people immediately, go into the small village, and rescue your father. ”

"Go, go, so what are you waiting for?" "It's too late, let's go." Several peasants next to him shouted loudly, a short and sturdy young man surnamed Wu, who was the nephew of the owner of the small courtyard, stood up "poof", picked up the hoe, stunned, and seemed to immediately charge with the hoe.

Xiao Guo hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, the enemy in the small village, now we still can't figure out the details, there are many ambushes inside, we have to think of a way, how to get in, we can't be reckless in saving people, in case they jump over the wall in a hurry, then won't they be blind?" Shi Suo smiled at Xiao Wu and said, "Brother, you are more temperamental than me." ”

"That's right," Su Shichang pulled Xiao Wu, "What are you in a hurry, first check and then make the charter." ”

Xiao Wu scratched his head and smiled innocently, put down the hoe and sat down, the old farmer surnamed Wu took off the cigarette pouch from his shoulder, lit a bag of cigarettes, and said slowly: "I see, this thing was done by the surnamed Ling, you think about it, since Su Shilong moved to the small village, there are not many people who have followed him, and the people and horses there are mainly the subordinates brought by Ling Haibo. ”

Su Shichang said: "I heard that last time they sent a lot of people to the north to find some Laoshizi baby, and the subordinates surnamed Ling were almost empty, so there are not many people in the small village." ”

"That's right," Su Xiaotong said, "There are more than 200 people who left last time, all of them are Ling Haibo's subordinates, and there are only a few dozen of them left in the village now." ”

"That's going to be easy." Xiao Wu was still gearing up next to him.

"But they have a lot of powerful weapons," Gu Zilong reminded, "and when we escaped with Xiao Tong, we encountered a big crossbow and a strange cart that could shoot arrows. ”

"That's nothing," Su Shichang waved his hand, "These carving insect skills, I'll ask Carpenter Li in the village to think of a way." Carpenter Li is skilled, he can sing as a wooden bird, and he can deal with Ling Haibo's half-sons. ”

Wu Laonong smoked a cigarette and nodded, "The important thing is to protect the hostages inside, don't let them threaten us with hostages, it's best to beat him cold." ”

Everyone discussed for a while, and the strategy became more and more gathered, and slowly discussed a "two-way attack" method. At this time, it was noon, Mrs. Wu cooked a meal and brought it to the courtyard, although it was only a nest vegetable soup, but everyone ate very sweet. Su Shichang and the others simply didn't go home, they all ate at Wu Laonong's house, and there was a sound of Hulu drinking soup under the tree.

Shi Suo asked Su Shichang: "Brother, you two brothers, have you ever had a gap?" ”

Originally, it was difficult for outsiders to ask about the matter between brothers, but Shi Suo was straightforward and asked directly. Su Shichang was also refreshed, sighed and said, "Yes, this matter is also embarrassing to say." Our two brothers, in the Osmanthus Villa, have lived for half a lifetime, has been harmonious, the old and young masters in the village, get along well, everyone is like a family, in order to prevent bandits, we also set up a township group, and jointly promote my brother as the leader. Because of the beautiful scenery here, it has been called the fairy world by outsiders, so the township group is named the fairy club. ”

"It's really beautiful," Xiao Guo said: "The mountains and rivers are beautiful, it's really a good place, and the people here are good, living in the Osmanthus Villa, if there is no dispute with the world, it's really like a fairy." ”

"Who said it wasn't," Su Shichang patted his thigh, "The most harmful thing in the world is the word 'greed', no matter how good the fairyland, no matter how good the favor, as soon as you encounter the temptation of money and treasures, it will become unrecognizable and chilling." If there was no legend of the treasures of the Ming Dynasty, our brothers would have been living in the big village like this and living a stable life of crops, where would there be so many incidents in Osmanthus Villa. ”

"Treasures of the Ming Dynasty?" Shi Suo remembered the "Zhou Guerrilla Painting".

"Yes," said Su Shichang, "since you are friends of the little boy and friends in trouble, I don't have to hide it, everyone in this village knows that my father left us a picture, which is said to be about a batch of treasures." That picture depicts a landscape in the mountains, and the name is 'Manzi Mountain Map'. ”

Regarding the matter of the "Barbarian Mountain Map", Shi Suo listened to Hu Xuan's careful explanation, and now, the "Barbarian Mountain Map" has fallen into the hands of the enemy with Fan Ye returning to the village.

Wu Laonong put down his cigarette pouch and shook his head, "Shichang, back then, your brother made a fuss about this and the picture, and he also raised Liangzi, in fact, everyone understands in their hearts, the blame is only for your brother who is too greedy for money, he is obsessed with money, this time, if he is rescued, I have to say a few words about him." That picture, if you want me to see it, is just like 'Journey to the West', it's just a legend, even if there is really a treasure in it, then what is it? Your Su family lives a rich life, do you lack this money? ”

Su Xiaotong showed a look of shame beside him and lowered his head.

Su Shichang continued: "The eldest brother was really lost in money at that time, he wanted to monopolize this picture, but it was not easy to open his mouth directly, so he decided to separate the family with me, saying that he would give me all the houses and then move out to live, but he had to take that picture with him, because he was the eldest son, and there was a saying that the eldest son would be an heirloom since ancient times." When our children are all grown up, we will continue to pass on the pictures. ”

Gu Zilong was holding a piece of nest head next to him, listening carefully, and forgetting to gnaw on the nest head.

Later, many people came to agree, but the eldest brother insisted on not listening, and in those days, he was like a demon, and the old people in the village and the brothers of the Immortal Association persuaded together, but he couldn't listen to anything. Alas. ”

Wu Lao Nong nodded silently while smoking a cigarette beside him.

Shi Suo suddenly asked, "Are the people of your Immortal Guild all wearing Taoist robes?" ”

"No," Su Shichang shook his head, "At the beginning, everyone just got together, practiced during the farming slack, and didn't have any clothes, since Ling Haibo came, his subordinates were all wearing Taoist robes. ”

"Oh, I see."

"I think at the beginning, everyone was busy with farming, farming and martial arts, how kind and free, the whole Osmanthus Villa is no different from fairyland, that barbarian mountain map, everyone's heart, to mess up, brotherhood is gone." Su Shichang sighed.

Shi Suo said: "Well, it's not the most important thing, it's mainly people's hearts, which have not been washed clean, and it's the 'greed' you said is doing the trick." He usually listened to He Yuan, Jiang Yuniang and others talk about this kind of truth, and he understood a lot in his heart, and at this time, he felt that it was very appropriate to use it on the Su brothers.
