Chapter 23: The brother got lost in the mountains and encountered a beard again
On the twenty-third occasion, the brother got lost and encountered the beard again
When it was dawn, they walked for most of the night, and found that they had taken the wrong path. Where is this? Several people were stunned. They drove the horses along the ditch, and when they got out of the ditch, they went north over the mountains and mountains, and the direction was right! In fact, the ditch they walked was originally northward, and it was right to go straight forward when they got out of the ditch. Well, they walked west over the mountains and mountains for half a night. Several people are tired, find a place to rest! They drove the horses into a ditch, found a place to nest in the sun, ate something, and lay down to sleep. Sun Jianqing didn't sleep for two nights in a row, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep when he lay down.
Several people slept until noon before waking up, and the eldest brother Liu Jiye woke up the second brother: "Second brother, wake up, it's time for us to go on the road." ”
Second Master Sun sat up, looked at the sky, and looked at the position of the sun: "Go, go north, go north is right, you will definitely be able to go home." ”
The brothers walked all the way north for three days, but they didn't find a home, they didn't even meet a tunzi, and they didn't see a single person. Second Master Sun is scared this time, the third and fifth don't know what happened to Lu Dao, they got lost in the mountains again, and they don't know when Lu Dao will be able to get out! I regret not listening to my eldest brother's words and not stealing He Qingxian's horse, I would have rushed to Haoyao Mountain by this time. It's useless to regret it now, let's recruit it!
Let's go back! At most, you can return to Mongolia in three or four days.
It's bad to go back, and the way back is gone astray.
Three days later, in the morning, Second Master Sun climbed to the top of a high mountain to discern the direction.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Sun Jianqing saw the crowd. There were wisps of green smoke floating out from the bottom of a high mountain, and Sun Jianqing's coke was broken, so he hurriedly ran down the mountain and told his eldest brother.
The brothers circled the horses into a ravine, and Sun Jianqing and Han Jingtian went to find someone to ask for directions. I also want some salt, and everyone hasn't eaten salt for a few days.
Sun Jianqing approached this high mountain, and he gasped! The peak of this mountain is a very high and thin cliff, from a distance, this mountain is like a chicken head, and the thin cliff is a cockscomb.
Sun Jianqing grabbed the sixth brother: "Wait a minute, will this mountain be the Cockscomb Mountain?" Hu Dabiao's beard nest is in Jiguanzi Mountain. It can't be such a coincidence! The two men became alert and quietly approached the foot of the mountain.
This is Hu Dabiao's beard nest, and the place where the green smoke floats out is the mouth of a cave. A bunch of beards are drinking together! I can smell the smell of mutton soup from afar, it's so fragrant!
What to do? The brothers immediately returned.
The brothers didn't dare to slack off, and drove the horses out of the north for a long way before stopping. Bao Qinggrad spoke: "A few brothers, I can take you out of Lu, this is Jiguanzi Mountain, and dozens of miles to the east is Mongoltun." If we go northeast, we will definitely find our way back to the small town. ”
A few people rested for a while and continued on their way.
Bao Zingler was right, when the sun was about to set, they found the road that led to the small town. At the same time, danger loomed over them once again.
Hu Dabiao didn't catch the four brothers, and he was very annoyed that several brothers were killed. Back at Cockscomb Mountain, I couldn't swallow this breath. Leaving a dozen people to watch the house, the other brothers rode with him to chase Sun Jianqing's horses in the direction of Xiaochengzi.
Hu Dabiao found He Qingxian and asked him to lead the way straight to the direction of Xiaochengzi. Sun Jianqing and the others went the wrong way, so Hu Dabiao led people to chase them all the way to the small city and didn't see the horses.
In the afternoon of that day, they crossed the Dadianzi of the Weilian River and came to the front mountain of the small city. Hu Dabiao sent people into the small city to inquire about the situation, but as a result, he did not find He Qingxian's herd, and there were no herds of horses here at all. I didn't hear that the surname Sun was called the second master (they didn't know the name of Sun Jianqing).
Hu Dabiao took his beard around the surrounding villages for a few days, but there was no whereabouts of Second Master Sun and Ma Qun.
On this day, Hu Dabiao and He Qingxian led people back and met a herd of horses on the road. It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
Han Jingtian, who was following behind the horses, was the first to notice the beard, and he recognized He Qingxian at a glance.
Five men and four guns couldn't confront this group of beards at all, so they turned their horses and ran. The mountain road is too narrow, the horses get in the way, and it is difficult for beards to pass. It took a lot of effort for more than two dozen beards to pass through the herd of horses and chase after Second Master Sun and them. At this time, He Qingxian looked at the lost and recovered horses, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.
The five of them ran a long way out of the river before they stopped, and went into the forest of a ravine to discuss how to deal with the beard.
At this time, Hu Dabiao led people to the ditch. A pile of new horse manure caught Hu Dabiao's attention, not far from the small mountain road. The kid looked at the horse manure, looked into the ditch again, and waved his hand: "They are in the ditch, rush me!" "These beards are really fierce, and they rush into the ditch with a scream. These boys are not afraid of death, they think, these people may not really be in the ditch, besides, if they are in the ditch, they are scared away.
They were mistaken, four guns opened fire together, and several beards who ran ahead fell off their horses. The horse's head turned around and hid behind the rocks on both sides, and Hu Dabiao also dodged.
Second Master Sun looked back at the ditch and called Bao Qinggrad: "Brother Grad, you go to the ditch to see if there is a way out." Be quick, you have to find a way to get rid of these mustaches before it gets dark. ”
Beard pounced on the forest again and was beaten back by several people. Relying on the natural barrier of the woods, it is difficult for beards to approach here.
It was getting dark, and Bao Zingler returned. At the other end of the forest was a river, which did not seem to be deep, and beyond the river there was a ravine, and the mountains on both sides were very high, and it was impossible to climb on horseback.
The eldest brother Liu Jiye looked at the opposite side, saw that there was no movement in the beard, discussed it with the second brother, and decided to immediately retreat to another ravine.
Hu Dabiao was waiting, he was waiting for dark. As long as it gets dark, you can sneak through.
It was dark, and he ordered his men to approach the woods quietly on foot.
The woods were silent, except for the sound of the wind stirring the leaves......
The five brothers rode out of the grove, lay down across the river, and entered another ravine. The ditch was wide and flat, and the horses could run.
In the ditch, they once again encountered the herd of horses, which belonged to He Qingxian.
He Qingxian was clever, he thought that it would be unsafe to walk behind the beard, once he met Sun Erye, his horses were gone, so he chose to bypass another ravine. As a result, I met his nemesis here, and he ran away!
The five men had walked all night with the lost herd, and at daybreak they had come out of the ravine. Outside the ditch suddenly opened, a large meadow with a flat river. The five of us are exhausted, so let's find a place to rest.
The five men did not go into the meadow, but turned the hill and went around to the other side of the mountain. On one side of the hill is still a ravine, and the slopes on both sides are covered with tall oak trees. A few men went into the oak forest, loosened the horses, and let them eat some grass. The eldest brother Liu Jiye asked everyone to sleep for a while, and he walked to the top of the mountain with a shotgun on his shoulder.
Liu Jiye sat on a rock on the top of the mountain, where he happened to see the ditch mouth and the grassland, which was a good position for sentry. When it was almost noon, Bao Qinggrad came to Liu Jiye with wild fruits: "Eat something, you can go down and sleep for a while!" Liu Jiye didn't leave, ate a few wild fruits, and fell asleep lying next to the rock.
Until the sun was about to set, I didn't see the beard come out of the ravine.
The eldest brother Liu Jiye decided to give up the horses, pass through the big dianzi in front of him, and find another way home.
Sun Jianqing disagreed with the eldest brother's opinion, but everyone supported the eldest brother, so he had no choice but to obey.
The last one of the last of Bao Zingler's reluctance left the herd and walked with everyone to the south of the meadow.
The sky was already dark, there was no moon, and several people walked out of Dadianzi one foot deep and one foot shallow. In front of it was a low hill, and the grass was deep but there were no trees. Further on, several people saw the light, and it was a small house. The house is wood-carved and surrounded by a wooden fence. At the foot of the hill there is a large fence, a horse pen with many horses in it.
The five of them were so excited that for many days they hadn't seen anyone except their beards.
Han Jingtian stepped forward and opened the door.
There was only one person in the room, a little old man in his fifties. He is very short, but his body is very strong, and he is mentally strong, and he knows that Lu Dao is a shrewd person at a glance.
"Brother, we are from Mongolia, we are lost in the mountains, and we want to beg for food." The eldest brother, Liu Jiye, hugged his fist at the old man.
The old man didn't say anything, but was busy cooking for a few people.
The eldest brother Liu Jiye was very careful, walked out of the house with a gun alone, and stood on a small hill to stand sentry.
When the meal was ready, Sun Jianqing asked the eldest brother to come back for dinner, but the eldest brother did not agree. It can be seen that the eldest brother is scared of the beard, and he is very careful.
During the meal, Bao Qinggrad and the old man struck up a conversation.
This old man is also a Mongolian, named Bayangla. The son was beaten to death by the beard of Jiguanzi Mountain, the daughter-in-law was snatched away by the people of Jiguanzi Mountain, and the sixteen-year-old grandson went to Jiguanzi Mountain alone to ask for someone, and it has been more than ten days, and he has not returned so far, so he should have been beaten to death by the beard. As he spoke, the old man burst into tears.
As soon as the beard was mentioned, Second Master Sun came to his senses: "These thieves have done such a hurtful thing, and Second Master will never agree!" As he spoke, he asked the old man Bayan: "Where is the Cockscomb Mountain, I will go to avenge you." "He forgot to be swept away by his beard.
It is more than 20 miles away from Jiguanzi Mountain, and it is enough to cross the two mountains in the east.
The second master was angry when he heard this! In the past few days, I have walked this way, and this has come to the west of the Cockscomb Mountain.
The five people had disagreements again, and Sun Jianqing insisted on going to Jiguanzi Mountain to rescue the daughter-in-law and grandson of the old man Bayan. Eldest brother. The sixth brother and Liu Laosi insisted on rushing to Haoyao Mountain as soon as possible to pick up Li Sanye and Bart, and Bao Qinggrad was a centrist who did not choose sides.
Sun Jianqing has an upright and righteous temperament, and he can't tolerate the slightest evil, he is too stubborn, his reason is: After so many days, Li Sanye's side has long been finished. And here, it is also a major matter of human life, since it has encountered it, it must not be ignored. This time, he stuck to his approach no matter what.
The eldest brother couldn't screw the second brother, and he couldn't let the second brother take the risk alone, so he had to sit down and discuss how to deal with Hu Dabiao.
Bao Qinggrad, who always didn't squeak, spoke at this time: "I see, no matter what, you should also drive the horses in the mountains back, just in the herd of the horses of Brother Bayan." ”
Bao Qinggrad. Liu Laosi and Han Jingtian took the old man Bayan to the mountains to drive horses, and Liu Jiye and Sun Jianqing continued to discuss ways to deal with Huzi.
The night soon ended, and when the east was bright, big brother. Second brother. Han Jingtian and Liu Laosi picked up their shotguns and walked in the direction of Jiguanzi Mountain......
