Chapter 56: Meat Ticket
γ56γMeat ticket
These bandits were caught off guard by being killed, and because they were hungry, they were more than brave and not strong. After being killed by the Li family's generals and the knife-wielding family, they were immediately defeated.
At that time, there was chaos on the official road, and several bandits were cut down on the spot, bleeding all over the ground, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead. The rest of the bandits gathered and fought with their swords.
Seeing this bloody scene, Yao Fan couldn't help but roll his Adam's apple, his muscles stiffened, and his whole body became nervous.
He stared at a cargo box in front of him, where he put a folding crossbow, thinking that if he rushed up and took out a handful, it might be useful for self-defense.
But he hesitated, the crossbow was troublesome to load, and he needed to step on the pedals protruding from the front end of the crossbow with his foot before he could tighten the winding, and in the process, if his hands and feet were not fast enough, he would be in trouble if he was clicked by a bandit.
Just as he was thinking wildly, the woman beside the leader waved the single knife in her hand and shouted, "Brothers! It's a big deal! Drop it off! ! β
As soon as these words came out, the bandits shouted "Pull it off!" He waved the blade in his hand and fled deep into the sorghum field.
Yao Fan didn't pay attention, he was pulled up by a person behind him, turned his wrist, twisted to the back of the spine and fixed it, he was weak in pain, and he couldn't move when he was twisted.
"Big brother, let's take this guy as a meat ticket! Turn around and ask these people to pay twice as much as they do! The red-faced man who grabbed Yao Fan shouted.
The black-faced man immediately agreed, and the bandits wrapped Yao Fan in their arms, and retreated into the sorghum field like a gust of wind.
Without the supervision of the knife-wielding bandits, the Yao guys rushed up from the ground one by one, and Li Jun saw that the bandits were going to run away with Yao Fan, and his heart was so anxious that he immediately rushed up and pulled out the sticks stuck in the car. The other guys also came to their senses, and one by one they also went up to work on the sticks, and some simply drew their crossbows, stepped on the pedals in front of them with their feet, and wound them.
He Shicheng saw that some guys were about to release crossbows, so he quickly stopped them with a bitter face, and ordered worriedly: "Don't use crossbows!" Be careful of hurting the shopkeeper! the sticks, brothers! Catch up! β
Yao Fan was carried by bandits, rushed into the sorghum field, and ran for about 100 meters, before being thrown face down on horseback, and his hands were tied behind his back and taken away.
The bumpy back of the horse and the protruding bridge in front of the saddle made Yao Fan's stomach extremely uncomfortable, and he was about to escape for his life while the rider was not paying attention to the blood sacrifice, when suddenly the back of the neck was knocked hard, and he fainted in front of him......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Yao Fan woke up, he was lying on the cold ground in a cave, his hands and feet tied.
A cold voice said: "Shopkeeper, you are so powerful in planning, you actually brought officers and soldiers in disguise to trick me into the White Horse Club!" β
Yao Fan saw that it was the black-faced man who spoke, and at this moment he was squatting in front of him, his face gloomy.
It was a matter of life and death, Yao Fan didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sighed and said: "If you want to add sin, there is no excuse!" Hero, do you think, I, a businessman, have never had any grievances with you, why should I risk my life to set up a situation to harm you?
Those who held knives were all members of the Li family, and the Li family was met by me at an inn in Weifang County, and I was also going to Jinan Mansion. So everyone said that they would go together, go to Jinan for a while, and there was a good response on the road, but I didn't think that I was stopped by a hero in front of me. Now that I think about it, it must have been after they followed, and now that you are robbing money, you came up to help.
Hero, you think, if I designed to take you, I should have prepared sticks, knives and guns at that time, and I would have stalemate with you on the official road for a while, and after the Li family surrounded you, wouldn't I be able to attack you inside and out? How could you be caught off guard and put a knife on the neck of each of our fellows? Isn't this a joke about your own life? β
The black-faced man thought about it, Yao Fan's words were completely logical, and he nodded plainly: "You shopkeeper, what you said is right, count me to blame you." But I can't let you go. β
Yao Fan saw that the leader of the horse bandits was still quite conscious, so he asked, "Why is this?" Do heroes want to be angry with me? Want to kill me? β
The black-faced man squatted in front of Yao Fan and shook his head, "Why should I kill you?" But the money and food for this year's winter in my cottage will fall on you. Besides, I broke seven brothers in the previous battle, and without the breadwinner of the family, these people's families are bound to have a hard time making a living. This settling-in allowance will also be counted on your head! β
Yao Fan sighed calmly: "Since I have a chance to get acquainted with everyone, I can still afford this little money." From the moment we met, I could see that you are an extraordinary man, and you will have great achievements in the future.
But the hero, you tie my hands and feet, but it's not the reason for hospitality! I've been tied up by you for a long time, and my hands and feet are numb. You just have to let me go, my husband is true to his word, and I swear to God that I will not escape. β
The black-faced man hesitated for a moment, but it was the heroic woman beside him who had eyes like a silver plate and eyes like a meteor and agreed: "Okay! β
After that, he instructed the horse bandits on the side: "Jiaxiang, untie him." β
When the black-faced man saw that the woman agreed, he also nodded and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of you running, if you dare to run away from your trust, I will whip you a hundred horsewhips if you catch it." β
After Yao Fan was untied, he looked around and saw that this was a cave, and the lighting was all against a pine resin torch inserted in the wall. The cave is not big, there are only six bandits inside, Yao Fan guessed, about the other bandits are outside the cave.
Yao Fan sat on the ground, rubbing his numb hands and feet while saying to the black-faced man: "If you can't trust me, why don't you loosen my bonds?" β
The black-faced man was speechless for a while.
Yao Fan smiled: "Hurry up and give me something to eat, I'm hungry, you can't tie up the ticket, you can't be hungry." β
The black-faced man also smiled and said, "You're a bachelor, we haven't eaten a bite for a day, and when you wake up, you'll beg for food." β
Yao Fan said: "Did you bring my guys' cargo boxes?" It has pancakes and sauce meat that we bought at the Weixian Inn. β
Hearing Yao Fan say pancake sauce meat, all the horse bandits in the cave couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The black-faced man said: "I knew that I grabbed a cargo box and brought it, we left in a hurry, and only took your guy's money purse for buying the road." β
Yao Fan said: "What should I do? Are you all hungry? Get the money and buy some to eat. β
The heroic woman smiled: "It's not unusual for you to be a man, you were tied to a ticket, but you only thought about eating." β
Yao Fan said: "Why should I be afraid? If you want to kill me, you will kill me sooner. Since it is a kidnapping, it is the same principle as business, everyone you come and go, and the silver is exchanged. β
The woman said: "Don't worry, the brothers outside are making rice, and when it's cooked, there will be a bite of yours." Let's talk about how much you pay to ransom the ticket. β
Yao Fan said: "The goods on my car, a car is worth about 1oo taels, and 31 cars are considered 31oo taels, how about it?" β
Who knew that the woman was not in a hurry, squatted down and said, "Where are you from this shopkeeper?" β
Yao Fan was surprised, and said why did she ask this?
"I am the shopkeeper of Qingdao Kou Zaofan Firm, surnamed Yao Mingfan, what's the matter? Have you seen me? β
The woman said softly: "Do you have any good doctors in Qingdao City?" β
In the dim cave, Yao Fan looked at the woman by the light of the torch, and saw that her eyes were melancholy. β
The woman's eyes lit up and she asked urgently, "What foreign medicine?" What diseases do you eat? β
Yao Fan pursed his lips inward, licked his tongue, and said thoughtfully: "There are those who eat suppuration from the wound, and after eating, the pus disappears and the scar disappears, and the wound begins to heal." β
Seeing that the woman's face was a little disappointed, Yao Fan licked her tongue again, and said: "There are also those who eat cold and high fever, after eating, the fever can be reduced, and the cold and heat can be removed." β
The woman's big eyes flickered, and she asked eagerly, "Do you have foreign medicine for tuberculosis?" β
Yao Fan looked at her, looked at the woman closely, and now there were fine wrinkles around her eyes, the hands holding her knees were thin and thin, and there were green tendons on them, and her heroic eyes just now looked simple and melancholy.
Yao Fan thought to himself, this woman must have relatives and friends who have tuberculosis, if I say that I can cure it, then I have an extra bargaining chip in my hand.
However, Yao Fan was afraid that he could not tell if the patient had an allergic reaction to the drug, or how severe the patient's illness was.
So Yao Fan pushed: "For a serious disease like tuberculosis, foreigners have no problem. However, if I hear that there is a foreign medicine that can cure tuberculosis in the future, I will try to tell you. β
Yao Fan gave up the idea of making extraneous branches, and in his opinion, getting out quickly is the most important thing.
The woman's eyes dimmed, and she felt that Yao Fan was deliberately leaving a suspense, she lowered her head and said coldly: "Even if the silver is 31oo taels, the silver in the bag before is considered to be the settlement fee for my dead brothers." β
Yao Fan said happily: "Please bring a pen and paper, I wrote it and asked someone to send it, my men know the Li family, and they will definitely be able to borrow silver." β
The woman said, "If you can't borrow it, you can put down the goods worth the money." β
Yao Fan said: "Don't worry, the eldest husband will give you everything he says, and he will not be ambiguous." β
The black-faced man said: "You shopkeeper is so refreshing, if I see you again on the road in the future, I will not embarrass you." β
Yao Fan smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you for your attention." β
So the woman went outside the cave to find a pen and paper, and then there was a quarrel outside, and the black-faced man hurriedly ordered his subordinates to watch Yao Fan and run out of the cave by himself.
Yao Fan listened well in the cave.
ββ¦β¦ If he can take out 3,100 taels easily, he must be a rich man! simply asked him to come out with five thousand taels!
Eldest brother! At present, the price of grain has risen sharply, and a hundred catties of rice cost seven taels or six yuan! Three thousand taels of silver, at most 40,000 catties of grain. There are more than 1,000 people of all ages in our village, and 40,000 catties of rice can be eaten this winter! β
An argument ensued.
Yao Fan heard that the woman was called sister-in-law, and her voice said: "The most important thing in the rivers and lakes is the word Xinyi, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, this silver is already a lot!" When my father was here, why didn't I see you talking so much about Hou Dingshan! β
Then the black-faced man's voice sounded, and he said some harsh words, so that no one outside argued anymore, and the noise subsided.
Then the woman called the sister-in-law walked in, put a pen and paper and a thin bamboo tube in front of Yao Fan, and said, "You can write." β
Yao Fan frowned and said, "How can you write without ink." β
The woman explained, "There is dry ink in this bamboo tube, and you dipped it in spit. β
Yao Fan cried with a sad face, endured the smell of ink in the bamboo tube, spit in the palm of his hand, dipped the tip of the pen, lit the dry ink in the bamboo tube, and wrote a note asking He Shicheng to see the letter to Yinzi.
The woman took the note and went out.
Yao Fan planned to escape with the blood sacrifice at this time, but he didn't know whether the cave of 2o11 still existed, in case he passed himself into a collapsed stone cave and buried it, it would be troublesome, plus he was tired and hungry, so he fell asleep against the mountain wall of the cave.
In the next two days, Yao Fan became acquainted with the horse bandits who watched him in the White Horse Club, and Yao Fan would tell jokes again, so he inquired and learned that the sister-in-law's son was a tuberculosis ghost, and now he was seven years old, and the child was so thin that he was skinny and coughed all day long.
Yao Fan thought about it, but he didn't dare to come forward, after all, he himself was still in danger, and where else did he dare to mix up the big-tailed wolf festival.
It is said that the White Horse Club took Yao Fan's note, and inquired clearly that the Yao family caravan and the Li family caravan had now returned to Shili Fort, so they still ordered the horse bandit named Jiaxiang who was specially seeking news to deliver the letter.
When the sister-in-law saw that Jiaxiang brought back the silver ticket, she and the black-faced man took Yao Fan, and the three of them rode to the outside of Shilibao.
Yao Fan dismounted and arched his hand: "Two, the mountains don't turn around, and there may be a time to meet in the future." I, Yao Fan, will definitely help you inquire about foreign medicines for tuberculosis, but I don't know how to notify the two of you if you find that medicine. β
The black-faced man hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or what to say.
The woman looked at Yao Fan with a pair of big black and white eyes like meteors, and said simply: "On the side of the official road outside Shilibao, there is a lonely old locust tree with a thick and thin hug, you just need to ask someone to cut off a piece of skin on the locust tree and write the word medicine, and I will come to your shop in Qingdao to find you!" The money owed to you today will be repaid to you in a penny! In addition, put on the medicine money! β
Yao Fan nodded, didn't say a word, and dismounted and walked in the direction of Shilipu Town.
The heroic woman and the black-faced man looked at Yao Fan from afar.
The woman suddenly said, "Big Tiger, do you say that there is really a foreign medicine for tuberculosis in the world?" β
The black-faced man swallowed dryly, frowned, and said, "Xiaoqi, even if there is, I'm afraid we won't have the money to buy it." β
Ladies and gentlemen, it turns out that this woman's name is Bai Xiaoqi, the only daughter of Bai Jiuye, the owner of the White Horse Club, this black-faced man is called Xi Dahu, and he is a man of Bai Xiaoqi. Before he died, Bai Jiuye handed over the village to his daughter-in-law, but did not give it to his son-in-law.
Xiaoqi suddenly said solemnly: "If there is really one, I will exchange my life for it!" β
With that, he turned the horse's head, clamped his legs, and the horse galloped out.
It's a mother's vow.
Xi Dahu silently lowered his head, tied the reins of the empty horse that Yao Fan had ridden before to the saddle, and beat the horse away.
