Chapter 10: The Heroes
Although the military advisor is a weak scholar, he has also been wandering in the green forest for a while, and he is still safe against a weak daughter, he immediately stepped forward, grabbed Yao Yilei and shouted: "If you run again, I will kill you!" ”
Yao Yilei knew that the bandit dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and did everything, so she had to obediently obey, come back and climb on horseback, and continue to move forward.
As the sun sets, it's getting dark.
Five miles away in a town, today is the day of the opening of the cattle market, after a day of trading, hundreds of mules, horses, donkeys and cattle have changed owners, the market has been depressed, everywhere is full of cow dung and horse dung, the smell is pungent, those cattle dealers or squatting under the fence counting the banknotes and silver dollars, or sitting in the rice shop to order a bowl of braised noodles, call a pot of white dry drinking, and discuss this year's market in a noisy manner.
A man and a woman walked into the market, and the young man at the restaurant saw their dusty appearance, and hurriedly greeted: "Two, come in and take a beat." ”
As soon as the two entered the door, they attracted the attention of the cattle dealers, a good pair, the man was eight feet tall, the woman was also seven feet, with a hero scarf around his waist, stepping boots under his feet, his eyes were fierce and murderous, this is probably the chivalrous man mentioned in the commentary...... Well, these two knights are wet, and they probably have just had a water fight.
This pair of men and women is Chen Zikun and Xia Xiaoqing, tracking the kidnappers all the way to this point, the little guy greeted and seduced out the gluttonous worms in their stomachs, they haven't eaten at all since morning, but they are hungry enough, Xia Xiaoqing is better, he was filled with water in the river just now, but he couldn't help it when he smelled the fragrance of meat buns.
Chen Zikun took out a big ocean and threw it on the counter: "Meat buns, how many are on the top." ”
"Okay!" The young man moved out of the steamer, wrapped the hot meat buns in dried lotus leaves, and Chen Zikun put them in the bag he carried with him, and took two big gulps to eat, choking him to roll his eyes.
"The Starving Ghost is reincarnated." Xia Xiaoqing scolded, took a bun and ate it himself, and choked after a few bites.
"Guest officer, you drink a mouthful of noodle soup and send it away." The young man brought two bowls of noodle soup with great eyes, Chen Zikun drank a few big sips, wiped his mouth and asked, "Man, have you ever seen two men and a woman riding horses just now?" As he spoke, he handed over an ocean.
When the young man saw that he was making a big move, he turned his face and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, who has ever seen two men and a woman riding a horse?" ”
Someone else replied: "When I was driving a camel, I met them, and the three of them did not take the main road, but went east by the path, and they all rode horses, and the woman was still wearing Western-style clothes." ”
Chen Zikun and Xia Xiaoqing glanced at each other, put down the bowl in unison, and went out.
When passing by the livestock market, Chen Zikun suddenly stopped, walked to a little black donkey with four hooves stepping on the snow, and looked at its teeth and hooves skillfully, and the boss next to him came up, with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to him.
Xia Xiaoqing next to him tilted his head, suspiciously watching the two of them hide their hands in their sleeves and bargain wordlessly, and after a while, the deal was reached, Chen Zikun took out thirty silver dollars to buy the little black donkey, and the boss gave him a wooden old-fashioned saddle.
"There's only enough money to buy a donkey, so you can ride it." Chen Zikun said to Xia Xiaoqing.
"Let me ride a donkey, you can figure it out." Xia Xiaoqing's face turned red and took a sip, in her opinion, donkeys are cattle that only those little daughters-in-law in the countryside who go back to their parents' homes ride, and women like herself who practice martial arts should ride a high-headed horse to be peachy.
As if guessing what she was thinking, the little black donkey screamed dissatisfiedly, the high-pitched donkey cry attracted a lot of attention, Xia Xiaoqing wanted to go, but the two swollen feet couldn't take a step, so she had no choice but to pinch her nose and ride the little donkey and embark on the tracking road again.
The sunset shone obliquely on the two of them, as if they were inlaid with a layer of red edges.
……
Beijing Zhengyangmen East Station, Lin Wenjing has a relationship with the same sunset, the train is late, and it has not come yet, the luggage is piled up on the platform, Aunt Mi is talking about the price with the handyman who carries the luggage, the younger brother is sitting on the box blowing bubbles, and the black yarn is still hanging on his arm, the station where people come and go, the hustle and bustle echoes in his ears, but Lin Wenjing feels so lonely and cold.
How she hoped that Chen Zikun could appear in time at this moment and take herself away, but this scene finally did not appear, the train slowly drove into the platform with steam, and the crowd that had been waiting for a long time began to board the train, Lin Wenjing looked back at the direction of the waiting hall again, and still did not see the shadow of that person.
She knew that he would not come, so she sighed softly, took her brother with her suitcase, and got on the train.
……
Yao Mansion, Deputy Chief Yao was walking back and forth in the living room, the pipe in his mouth had long been extinguished, and he was still smoking it, and his wife learned that her daughter had been kidnapped, and she cried and fainted several times.
It's already dark, Yao Yilei still hasn't been released, Deputy Chief Yao knows that it's bad, since the kidnappers can use the phone and the train, then there must be someone to guide them, can't they recognize the worthless Deutschmark? This batch of scrapped banknotes not only failed to deceive the kidnappers, but would bring disaster to her daughter.
He couldn't hold his breath, shook the phone in person, and asked Wu Bingxiang about the progress of the case.
The police department is also busy, today arrested a lot of people from the Ziguang car factory, the detective team is stepping up the torture, in the dark dungeon, Xue Pingshun and the head of the coachman, Wang Dongliang, were stripped naked and tied to the pillar, the furnace was burning with a raging fire, the soldering iron was burned red, and several big men with cold eyebrows were cold, and they scared people out of the air before they were executed.
Although Xue Pingshun has been a patrol officer, he has never seen this battle, and he was doing well, but suddenly a group of detective patrol officers came, and copied the Ziguang Depot, and everyone was arrested, fortunately Xing'er didn't come over today, otherwise she would have to have a spoonful of stew.
The old catcher Li Sansi walked over and asked with a pleasant face: "Old Xue, speaking of which, we are also colleagues, you know each other, the province is hurt and angry, this is not a random small police station, this is the elder of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you know no, it is the former Criminal Department, these torture tools are all things left by the former Qing Dynasty, I don't want to use them today." ”
Xue Pingshun begged bitterly: "Sir, we are really wronged, I have never seen the Miss Yao you are talking about, and Da Kunzi is not that kind of person, he will never do such a hurtful thing." ”
Li Sansi sneered, suddenly took out two box cannons and slapped them on the table and said, "These two guns were copied from under the pillow in Chen Zikun's bedroom, what do you say!" ”
Now Xue Pingshun was dumb, and secretly complained, Da Kunzi, why did you hide two guns at home, now the yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, not is.
"Don't say yes, let's do it." Li Sansi waved his hand, and a big man came over, and began to add bricks to the soles of Xue Pingshun's feet, which was a traditional punishment, a relatively rudimentary tiger chair.
Rao is this kind of rudimentary thing, Xue Pingshun's old arms and legs can't stand it, and he is sweating profusely.
Li Sansi looked at Xue Pingshun's performance with a gloomy face, according to his experience, this guy probably really didn't know about the kidnapping case.
"If you don't recruit again, you'll be powerful." Li Sansi threatened, and suddenly a person came in from outside, and said a few words in his ear, it turned out that the patrol police found two bodies in the woods not far from the place where the Xiangshan crime occurred, according to the investigation, it should be the kidnappers, and the tracking personnel found a pair of kidnapped restaurant owners and his wife five miles away, and it was found that Chen Zikun tied them up......
The case suddenly became confusing, and Li Sansi ordered the torture to be suspended and went to report to Wu Bingxiang in person.
At this time, Wu Bingxiang was explaining to Vice Chief Yao on the phone, saying that everything was going according to plan, and Ling Yan would be rescued soon.
It turned out that Xu Shuzheng, the deputy commander of the army, dispatched a brigade of men and horses to attack the Wei Sancang bandit gang entrenched somewhere in Hebei, and the army used heavy machine guns and Krupp mountain artillery to level the cottage in an instant, killing dozens of bandits and capturing Wei Sanpao, but the whereabouts of Miss Yao could not be found anywhere.
"Escort Wei Sanpao for interrogation." Wu Bingxiang hung up the phone and saw Li Sansi standing at the door, so he asked him what was the matter, Li Sansi told him about the progress of the case, Wu Bingxiang also fell into deep thought, the case is getting more and more complicated.
"Don't panic yet, just wait and see." Wu Bingxiang said.
……
Daxing County, Gaogezhuang, the night is late, three horses quietly entered the village, the dog at the entrance of the village found that the living people came in, and immediately barked, the three horses came to a house in the dog barking, the black wind dismounted and knocked on the door: "Mother, it's me." ”
After a while, an old woman came over on crutches, opened the door and said, "Erhei, my son, are you back?" ”
"Mother, it's Erhei who is back." Black Wind said.
The old woman threw away her crutches, stretched out her hands to touch the face of the black wind, and said in a trembling voice, "It's really my son who has returned." ”
Hei Feng knelt on the ground and let his mother touch her face, and two lines of tears fell: "Mother, are you okay?" Can you see with your eyes? ”
"Okay, it's good, it's just that you can't see with your eyes, it's not in the way, and you're used to it." The old woman smiled kindly, suddenly felt something, and asked, "Son, who came with you?" ”
Hei Feng wiped a handful of tears and said, "It's my friend, his name is Su Qingyan, and the other one is...... It's my daughter-in-law who just married. ”
The military advisor took off his hat, bowed, and said, "Auntie, I saluted you." As he spoke, he glared at Yao Yilei and motioned for her not to talk nonsense.
Yao Yilei didn't eat this, and shouted: "Old man, I was kidnapped by your son......"
Before he finished speaking, he was covered by the military advisor and said, "Auntie, my daughter-in-law was bought by Brother Heifeng for a hundred oceans, and she is not very obedient." ”
The old woman did not suspect that she was cheating, and said with a smile: "It's good for the daughter-in-law to coax, come in quickly, and I will cook for you." ”
The three of them entered the yard, the military advisor first tied Yao Yilei to the cowshed, and then helped Heifeng into the hall, and the old woman went down to the kitchen to cook the pot, although she was blind, but she had long been aware of the placement of various things in her own home, and her actions were no different from ordinary people.
A few minutes later, Chen Zikun and Xia Xiaoqing, who were tracked down, came to the entrance of the village, the dog at the entrance of the village barked again, Chen Zikun took out the meat bun and threw it over, the dogs immediately chased the meat bun away, how could there be spare to care about them, the two of them chased a donkey to the door of Heifeng's house, Xia Xiaoqing jumped on the courtyard wall, her movements were as light as a swallow, she glanced inside, and made a safe gesture to Chen Zikun.
Chen Zikun's posture of climbing the wall was a little clumsy, and after jumping into the yard, the two searched and found Yao Yilei tied up in the cowshed.
Yao Yilei saw a black shadow touching it, and thought it was Heifeng, so she was so frightened that she whimpered, but the man reached out to his lips and made a silent gesture: "Shh...... It's me. ”
"Woo woo" Yao Yilei was even more excited, it turned out to be Chen Zikun chasing after her, she was excited with tears, if she hadn't been tied, she would have plunged into the other party's arms.
Suddenly, Xia Xiaoqing rushed into the cowshed, made a gesture at Chen Zikun, signaling someone to come, Chen Zikun dodged and hid behind the firewood and straw, pulled out his bayonet, and Xia Xiaoqing hid behind the door, holding his breath, ready to take it down in one fell swoop.
It was a blind old woman who came in, staggering, without combat effectiveness, Chen Zikun and Xia Xiaoqing were stunned for a while, only to see the old woman walk up to Yao Yilei, fumbled to untie the rope on her body, and took out the rags stuffed in her mouth.
"Child, aunt knows that you are kidnapped, let's go, go out from this village and walk ten miles north, which is the township office, there are two nests, take them to eat on the road." The old woman took out two nests and stuffed them into Yao Yilei's hands.
