Chapter 2: Doll Catches the Enemy

In the early morning of this day, the boundless gloomy clouds and miserable fog filled the sky, detaining the earth, and even more detaining the holy land of "Confucius Xianglu Huiqi", which overwhelmed people. Between heaven and earth, there is an invisible gray veil separating the sea, making this coastal landscape lose its vast grandeur.

A little doll about five years old, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, holding a willow stick in her right hand and a beautiful young woman in tattered clothes in her left hand, climbed to the top of Jiagu Mountain, stood upright, and looked at it from a high level.

In the western mountainous area of Ganyu in early spring, the steaming heat is rising, like a volcano about to erupt, and the gray-white mist is rising, and it is busy putting on a light veil for the coming early spring night. A winding mountain avenue cut the twilight and the mountains in half, stretching out towards the vast sky.

At the end of the avenue, there were two small gray black dots, which were walking slowly, slowly......

The mother and son looked at the distance with happy faces, staring at the distance with their eyes, and their hearts were full of hope. They waited and waited for a long time, but as a result, there was still a helpless wry smile on their faces.

Who are these two? The boy is Song Jiliu, the son of Song Desen, a well-known local thief and the secret deputy chief of staff of the Youth Gang; This woman, of course, is Lao Song's wife. They were ordered by Zhong Ba and Song Desen to disguise themselves as rice flowers and give a sentry to the Green Gang headed by Zhong Ba.

Just when the mother and son were waiting very anxiously again, Dong Long, who was the former catcher in Ganyu County and is now the leader of Lian Yong, disguised himself as a peasant, quietly left Ganyu County on horseback, and ran to the place designated by the Youth Gang - Confucius Temple in Jiagu Mountain.

Along the way, Dong Long was cautious and fearful. He was afraid that the people would find him, so he didn't dare to cross the village, nor did he dare to get close to the crowded place, so he had to take a detour to avoid people and slowly approach the Confucius Temple in Jiagu Mountain. In fact, the poor people working in the fields have long been eyeing this lackey of the Qing court. If it weren't for the leader of the Youth Gang who told him not to touch him, even ten Dong Long would have been killed.

When the mother and son saw Dong Long approaching, in order to prevent it from being damaged, they hid behind the big tree and let Dong go to watch the situation behind him.

Dong Long lived like a cat and mouse, looking east and west, and cautiously walked into the courtyard gate of the Confucius Temple. He went in and walked around a great time, and the houses were empty, and there was not a single figure. When Dong Long saw this scene, he was disappointed and scared. However, when he was about to leave quietly, he was stopped at the door by Song Jiliu and his mother, who had been following him nearby.

Xiao Jiliu held the pistol that his father had just given him in the morning, and shouted: "Where is the dog thief, don't you give us your hands up!" ”

Dong saw that the door was blocked by two people, and there was a doll holding a gun in both hands at him, and when he looked at it, he was still a real guy in the latest style. He stammered, "This is a real thing, how can a little doll play with a gun?" The muzzle of this gun must not be pointed at people, and if it goes off, it is not a joke! ……”

Xiao Jiliu winked at his mother and interrupted Dong Long's words: "Go quickly, get this talkative guy's gun down, and tie him up for me." ”

After Aunt Song got off Dong Long's gun, she took out the rope that had been prepared a long time ago and tied this Dong Long indiscriminately. Dong Long was really angry when he saw that his gun had been taken off and tied up again, and that he had been tied up by a woman and a child. But phosgene is useless, the guy in someone's hand must be made in Germany for twenty rings! So, he shouted majestically: "I'm a good friend of Zhongba, a good man in the green forest in this area, and it was the starling brother who specially asked someone to invite me!" If you don't let me go, I'll have your good looks! ”

At this time, Zhong Ba and Desen came over with smiles on their faces, and when Dong Long saw that the rescuers had arrived, he shouted loudly: "Good man, save me......"

Zhong Bayi waved his hand: "What's your name?" ”

Dong Long hurriedly said: "The little one is called Dong Long." ”

Zhong Ba fixed his eyes, glanced at Jiliu and Jiliu's mother, and then laughed and said, "Brother and sister, you and your little nephew are really good!" Now on this mountain, he can't run even if he is a rabbit, I think let's help him untie first! ”

It turned out that Zhong Ba and Dong Long had met in Ganyu and could be regarded as "old friends". As early as the winter of the second year of Xuantong, Zhong Ba returned to his hometown, which coincided with Zhong Ba in Zhong Chijian Village committing a crime, and arrested Dong Long and led people to arrest this Zhong Ba by mistake, and Yuan Shiyou, the county magistrate, tortured him, Zhong Ba remained silent, did not bite people indiscriminately, and did not confess.

In the month of that year, the county magistrate learned about the accidental arrest, but he still did not want to release the person and continued to be interrogated, and the result can be imagined. The county order had no choice but to impose a sentence. It is said that when he was ten years old, in a big field watching a big play in the open air, he ran to the back of the crowd to relieve a soak of urine, and deliberately wet the pants of a little girl from a big landlord's family. This is a crime that requires an increased fine and release on bail.

On the day Zhong Ba was released, Lian Yong prepared a horse to send him off, Dong Long came to apologize, Zhong Ba said happily: "You are for business, not for personal enmity, although there is a small mistake, it is also my fate to have this disaster, we don't know each other, let's make friends."

Therefore, as soon as the two of them met each other today, Rogue Zhongba said in a half-joking tone: "Oh! Isn't this Lord Dong? But you can become a big official and make a fortune!"

Dong Long glanced at Zhong Ba in a panic, and saw this handsome and sassy fat young man, wearing a pair of old gray cotton pants, a lambskin jacket on his upper body, a machete on his back, and a shell gun in his hand. So, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, villain Dong Long!"

Zhongba smiled and asked him, "Do you still know me?" ”

Dong Long blinked a pair of confused eyes and pondered for a long time. The good man Zhongba reminded him again: "We have dealt with each other in prison, and we are still 'good friends'!" ”

Dong Long was woken up: "Yes, yes, yes!" It turns out that you are the thief who kills the rich and helps the poor, and the president of the Youth Gang? Great, great! ”

"Chief Dong, please follow me into the back room!" Zhong Ba waved his hand at Dong Long, closed the door with his hand, and waved to Dong Long who was stunned again, "Please, take a step forward!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Good! ”

Song Jiliu, together with his mother, followed them with a pistol in his hand, walked through the courtyard, and came to a house. The two of them stood on the left and right.

Zhong Ba glanced at Dong Long and said, "Sit down!" Let's sit down and talk. ”

"Yes, okay, hey, hey......"

Zhong Bayi sat on the stool, and he slowly pulled out the small cigarette pouch from his waist.

Dong Long sat on the stool opposite Zhong Ba. Maybe he climbed the mountain to run hot, or was it because he was timid? I saw that he was like a dog dog, and until then he was still panting with his mouth wide open. When he saw Zhong Hachi take out his cigarette pouch, he hurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, quickly pulled out one, held it in one hand, and handed it over with a guttural smile: "Hehe, President Zhong, please, please smoke my ......"

Zhongba waved his hand: "You can use it yourself, let's not get used to that foreign play!"

While twisting his cigarette purse and filling it with cigarettes, he asked Dong Long slowly and leisurely: "What is the matter with you running here?"

Dong Long pinched his yellow teeth, a smile appeared in every pore of sweat on his entire face, and he tentatively said as if a blind man was walking, "I, I, I want to ask President Zhong for something-"

Zhongpachi pretended to be surprised and smiled, "Oh? Such a coincidence? Ask me for something? What's the matter? We're old friends, so let's just tell us about anything! ”

Dong Long leaned forward and said, "I think, I want to take off this black dog skin!" ”

When Nakahachi heard this, he burst out laughing. He laughed a few times, said nothing, and went to light a cigarette. He lit a cigarette, took a big puff, and spewed it out, and then said humorously: "Isn't it easy for you to take off the black dog's skin?" We didn't tell you not to take it off, let alone tell you to wear it to see Sage Kong, do you still need to tell me? ”

"President Zhong, that's what I mean-" Dong Long said as if there was something unspeakable, "I want to, I want to join the Green Gang......"

Song Jiliu was taken aback and interjected: "Oh! Your grandmother is big, and she sounds good! Do you also want to be a thief, and you also want to be a green forest hero who kills the rich and helps the poor? ”

"Hey! Yes, yes, yes! Little hero, what I said is the truth, whoever lies will be hit five times! Dong Long hurriedly said.

Nakahachi laughed again. He continued: "If you want to join our green gang, of course that's good! Our gang rule is that killing the rich and helping the poor in no particular order, and caring for the poor people is our family! When he said this, he paused for a moment to change the topic, and then continued in a sarcastic tone: "But, Mr. Dong, you must know that in our youth gang, there are no women to play with, there are no big cigarettes, and it is not allowed to rob the people's things, let alone beat and scold the people...... Can you stand this? ”

"I'm going to change my ways! The former ...... of the reform"
