Chapter 684: Hidden Mission (Medium)
But soon, an incident sent Lao Hu's idea out of the clouds. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It was on this day that he wandered around the streets, looking for a target who could be targeted, and he still had a lot of experience in kidnapping tickets and blackmailing sticks, and he could be called an expert.
But he was walking on the street, and suddenly saw a group of people wearing red felt hats and cyan short armor rushing over, all holding bird guns in their hands, Lao Hu even heard the sound of metal, at this moment, he was terrified, this is?
Lao Hu knew that the garrison in the city was gradually moving out, and the security in the city was gradually taken over by some people called patrols, and these people were patrols, which were similar to the previous officials. It's just that their equipment is much stronger than that of the government service, and many of the Ming army barracks are not as good as them.
He broke out in a cold sweat and thought to himself that he hadn't started to do it yet, these people......
He knew that the more this time, the more he couldn't panic, he squeezed a smile on his face, and was about to speak, but these patrols had already rushed by like a gust of wind, ignoring him, making his smile freeze on his face, and at the same time relieved.
He looked curiously, and saw that the patrols had surrounded a courtyard by the street, and then saw two ringleaders-like people striding over, and stood not far from him, and the sound of their conversation was faintly heard.
"Lao Yang, is this here?"
"The local security chief's report is here, and there will be no mistake."
"Well, it doesn't matter if you live or die, for these rangers, thieves and villains, you have to punch hard, and you'd rather die than live."
"Yes, some people suspect that our patrols cannot ensure law and order. Let's show the world that we have the ability to ensure that people live and work in peace and contentment. ”
As they spoke, one of them glanced at Lao Hu with his sharp eyes, which made his whole body tremble, and he hurriedly laughed and strode away.
After only a few steps, he heard the loud noise, and he couldn't help but look back and see that there was a lot of chaos. People kept jumping out of the courtyard over the wall and out of the window. From them, he smelled the breath of the same kind, but these people were like chickens and ducks at this time, and they were knocked to the ground one by one by firearms.
Even people who were shot. Rolling on the ground in pain. The screams were earth-shattering. Bloody, everywhere on the streets.
Lao Hu even saw a rather strong man, dancing with a long knife and jumping down from the window on the second floor. Intention to break through.
Now that the weapon control in Xuanfu Town is becoming more and more strict, this person can get a long knife, which is quite energetic.
And judging from his skills, Lao Hu can conclude that this person must be a member of the military family in which border town, and his own skills may not be comparable to him.
However, he was such a person, he had just jumped out of the window, a carp rolled and got up, and several bullets had already hit him, sending him straight out, and he fell to the ground only convulsions, and a large piece of blood flowed under his body, obviously not alive.
Lao Hu only felt that his hands and feet were numb, and his body trembled for a while, and at this moment he understood why the fat sheep could live in peace in this place, and why no matter how poor and vicious people were, they also became law-abiding and good citizens in this place.
At that time, the scribe's words echoed in his ears like thunder: "If it is a dragon, you will also coil it for me, and if it is a tiger, you will also lie down for me." ”
In those days, everywhere in the town, there seemed to be the sound of birds, a large group of rangers and swordsmen, thieves and thieves, were caught and killed, and hundreds of corpses were hung on the city wall afterwards to show the public, and there were signs hanging below, counting their various crimes, what they committed after entering Xuanfu Town, and so on.
Lao Hu also went to see it, and in addition to being afraid, he had no idea of doing a vote, and at this time he didn't have much money, and for the first time he seriously considered making a living.
Thinking about it, there are still many things that can make a living in Xuanfu Town, unlike elsewhere in the Ming Dynasty, even if you want to work, you can't survive.
In the small courtyard he rented, the local security chief was a veteran of the Jingbian Army, surnamed Zhou, who was injured in his left thigh and walked with a limp, but his life was very nourishing, he had a wife like a flower and a lively and lovely son, which always made Lao Hu envious.
This week, the chief of the security department will chat with Lao Hu if he has nothing to do, and he asked again this day: "Brother Hu hasn't found a store yet?" ”
At that time, he rented a small courtyard, and the owner needed to report to the chief of security, Lao Hu told him that he came to Xuanfu Town and was ready to do business, and at this time he just laughed dryly: "I haven't found a suitable one yet, it seems that I have to find a job......
Zhou Bao said: "Indeed, it is not easy to do business, and finding a job is also the right way." ”
His words were a little meaningful: "If you want to find a job, you have to be fast, and now Xuanzhen is already working on a work permit." Without this card, it will not be good if you will be caught by patrols and sent to a shelter. ”
Zhou Baochang gave Lao Hu advice, seeing that he was good, he could go to the dart bureau to try, and before going to the dart game, he could first go to the "Grandmaster Hall" for assessment, and if he could obtain the status of "swordsman", he could enjoy the treatment of the second class of the Jingbian Army.
After having the identity of a swordsman, he also chose a lot, enlisting in the army is just one, and all caravans and dart bureaus will rush to ask for him as a talent.
Lao Hu was quite moved, he was not interested in joining the army, but the darts were still suitable for him, and at that moment, his mind flashed the advertisement of the Yangwei Dart Bureau that he heard at that time.
So Lao Hu went to the "Grandmaster Hall".
When Lao Hu arrived, he saw a magnificent building compound, crowded with guys from all over the country who came to the assessment, many of whom seemed to him to be terrified in this black storm.
"Grandmaster Hall" is divided into Swordsman Hall, Gun Hall, Craftsman Hall, etc., Lao Hu chose of course the swordsman classification, he took the bow and arrow in his hand, and a series of arrows caused everyone present to applaud, and even the examiners were quite surprised.
Very smoothly, Lao Hu obtained the status of a swordsman, and the waist card awarded to him was still a medium swordsman mark.
At that moment, he was surrounded by the business detectives watching in the field, and all kinds of famous thorns were stuffed all over his hands.
"This swordsman, the contemptible man is the steward of the Yangwei Dart Bureau......"
"This swordsman, contemptible is the steward of the Yangwu Dart Bureau......"
"This swordsman, contemptible is the steward of the Zhenwu Dart Bureau......"
"This swordsman. The contemptible man is the steward of the Yitong Trading Company......"
"I wonder if Your Excellency is interested in working in a contemptible place? Absolute preferential treatment. ”
At that moment, Lao Hu's heart swelled with an indescribable sense of glory, even if he didn't go out to do a vote, he could live well with his own hands.
Decisively, Lao Hu joined the Yangwei Dart Game and began his dart career.
Yangwei Dart Bureau is a famous dart board in Xuanzhen, specializing in escorting large quantities of merchandise, silver taels, or personal employment for caravans.
In the past, I walked from Baoan Zhou to Taiyuan. Because in troubled times, the business of the dart game is very good. Now it has opened up a route from Zhencheng to Datong, to Ningwuguan, and even to Yansui Town, and is still planning a business route to Xi'an.
The life of a dart master is generally leisurely, except for the task of playing darts. I have free time on weekdays at my disposal. Lao Hu felt very satisfied.
Of course. The government is not without control over them, such as the management of weapons.
After entering the dart game, Lao Hu's spear. Although waist knives, bows and arrows, etc. are taken from the shelter, they are managed by the dart bureau on weekdays, and only when the dart task is issued, they will be distributed to individuals, and they still belong to the reservists of Xuanfu Town, and if they are mobilized to their heads, they will also have to participate in the war.
Soon, Lao Hu got used to the life of the dart game, and only sometimes recalled the past years and couldn't help but sigh, how did he become a dart master? Some lament the impermanence of fate.
Lao Hu started a chic life again, with his status as a dart master of a medium swordsman, his income is still very considerable, and the money is still earned by him legally, and he spends it with peace of mind.
He often called friends, feasted colleagues, threw a large handful of silver yuan and did not change his face, and soon became a well-known figure in the game.
He has also become a highly respected person in the workshop, who has a financial situation, just mention a sentence, don't say a word, and donate generously.
The name of "Hu Ye" is famous on this street, and his personal relationship with Zhou Baochang has become stronger.
Of course, Lao Hu is almost thirty years old, and he inevitably has some physiological needs, but he always feels empty after playing in the Qinglou.
Looking at the harmonious life of Zhou Baochang's family, I was envious and wondered, should I become a family? There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great.
For the first time he seriously considered the issue.
The turning point of fate came in June, when he passed by a sewing factory, a group of sewing girls poured out, and he whistled with a group of dart masters, but the blowing and blowing, Lao Hu was stunned.
He saw a girl among them, and the other seamstresses frowned angrily, but she looked shy, and how similar was this girl to the figure in the depths of his heart?
The eyebrows, the eyes, and the timid look were everywhere, and at that moment, the softest place of Lao Hu was touched.
Like many people, there has always been a figure lingering in his heart, even if he has seen many women in the future, but in his heart, she is the most beautiful.
She is so kind, so shy, Lao Hu is willing to use all good adjectives to describe her.
"Brother Tiande, I'll wait for you......"
The parting words also became the strongest pain in Lao Hu's heart.
When the catastrophe came, people in the village continued to starve to death, in order to survive he joined the army, in the army, he desperately killed the enemy, just to reward the silver, two years later he felt that it was almost over, and went back with a full of silver, but was shocked to see that the whole village was burned to the ground.
He didn't know which bandits or rebels had done it, his own family was dead, and when he found the location of her house, he only found a mutilated corpse, with an embroidered shoe on his foot.
Judging from the posture of her body, she was still raped and killed.
At that moment, Lao Hu cried loudly, he was in great pain, he shouted to the sky and grabbed the earth, but it was useless, a person is dead is dead.
Afterwards, he wanted to take revenge, but he didn't know who to find to report, after that, Lao Hu was very tyrannical, he quickly became a ruffian, became a villain, from the original Ji Town to Shanhai Town, in a few years, I don't know how many owners have changed, everything, just numb life.
But even if it has been almost ten years, the figure shyly and timidly peeked at him, and the sadness of parting, but he can never forget it.
So when he saw this girl, he fell, and Lao Hu fell in love. (To be continued.) )
