Chapter 41: The Cat's Name Tiger Skin
If such an evil thing happens in the jurisdiction, the militia responsible for protecting the territory and the people naturally has to rush here, after all, the matter of suppressing bandits has to rely on this group of soldiers with guns.
The one who rushed over this time was the newly appointed official of the militia group, head Wu.
This person and Wu Banxian met and intersected, and quickly climbed relatives, and it was with his support that Wu Banxian was able to ignore the little carpenter's accusations and get away with it.
The little carpenter was very prejudiced against him.
However, the status of the Liu family is different, especially the eldest young master of the Liu family is still leading troops in the provincial capital, so the attitude of the head of the Wu regiment is even different, and after rushing over, he and Liu Zhiyi cordially condoled.
He first scolded the bandits who looked at Lianggouzi, and then told Liu Zhiyi that after he returned to the city, he immediately asked Shangfeng for instructions, and as long as Shangfeng agreed, he immediately sent troops to Wanglianggouzi to wipe out the bandits.
After saying this, he asked Liu Zhiyi about his next plans.
Liu Zhiyi was very excited at first about the promise of the head of the militia group, after all, yesterday he experienced a great change in the destruction of his family, which made him full of hatred in his heart, and he couldn't wait to follow the militia up the mountain to slaughter the bandits who had suffered a thousand knives.
However, after chatting for a while, his face suddenly turned pale.
Head Wu asked him what was wrong and if he was not feeling well, and Liu Zhiyi replied, saying that it might be because he recalled the tragic situation last night, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.
When asked about his next plans, Liu Zhiyi said that he couldn't stay here anymore, and was going to go to the provincial capital to join his brother.
The head of the Wu regiment was extremely enthusiastic, saying that the world is not peaceful now, if something happens to him and the little bud girl on the road, he will not be able to explain to the eldest young master of the Liu family at that time.
So he offered to send two soldiers to escort him all the way.
It stands to reason that this arrangement is quite appropriate, Liu Zhiyi should be able to respond in one bite, but he never thought that the second young master seemed to be very aware of the righteousness, and said that he didn't dare to bother the public about it, otherwise he would definitely blame his eldest brother if he went back to find out......
Head Wu tried his best to help, but Liu Zhiyi kept refusing and seemed very resolute.
The official was a little helpless, so he only sighed and said, "I have heard that the elder brother of Zhiren is honest and honest, but I didn't expect it to be so. ”
He no longer insisted, and after chatting with Liu Zhiyi for a few more words, he went to find the chief Hu and the police Lin Yimin.
After these people left, Qu Menghu asked Liu Zhiyi: "Now there is some chaos everywhere, there are many bandits robbing the road on the road, if there is someone to escort it, it is very good, why do you refuse?" ”
He knew Liu Zhiyi's character, and there must be a reason why he refused so resolutely.
And it's definitely not the reason he shirks.
Everyone dispersed, there were only three people here, the little carpenter, Qu Menghu and Liu Zhiyi, when asked about this, Liu Zhiyi opened his mouth, but closed it again, and subconsciously glanced at the little carpenter.
There really is a story.
Qu Menghu is a man, so he naturally knows what Liu Zhiyi means, and said: "Thirteen is my brother, and he can definitely be trusted. ”
Liu Zhiyi's family is ruined at the moment, his heart is flustered, and there are not many people who can rely on him, and Qu Menghu is quite famous in Beiping, and he saved him yesterday.
He thought about it, and in this critical situation, only this person could help.
Thinking of this, he lowered his voice and said: "The adjutant next to this head of Wu, the more I look at it, the more familiar I become, just now I remembered that among the group of people who killed people and set fire to my house last night, there was a guy who was very similar to his figure......
Hearing this, Qu Menghu gasped and asked in a low voice, "Is this true?" ”
Liu Zhiyi touched his head and said, "This matter is related to my net worth and life, how dare I joke?" ”
Qu Menghu let out a breath slowly and said, "If that's the case, then you may really not be able to stay here." ”
Liu Zhiyi nodded: "Yes, if the group of people who came to my house yesterday to kill people and set fires, in addition to the Zhang Qiming you mentioned, there are also the subordinates of this head of Wu, then my sister and I may be very dangerous; When they turn around, they may really kill people. ”
It is common to be able to really do such murderous things and kill people.
Qu Menghu said: "What are your plans? ”
Liu Zhiyi said: "I was going to bury my family before leaving, but now I can't, I want to go, the sooner the better, when I get to the provincial capital, find my brother, and then let my brother come forward to take care of this aftermath." ”
He used to be a student, in an ivory tower, and now when he encounters such a change, he can only think of his eldest brother who was in the army.
Qu Menghu thought for a while and said, "Okay, you tell the outside that you can't handle these things, and your brother has to come forward and handle the funeral; As for this side, let your relatives and clan elders of the Liu family come to Zhang Luo first, and you and your sister-in-law will inform you - however, those people on the road may be hacked...... In this way, I will escort you and your sister to the provincial capital until you find your brother. ”
Hearing his promise, Liu Zhiyi couldn't help but stretch out his hand, held Qu Menghu's arm tightly, with tears in his eyes, and said: "Old eight, others call you Sai Mengwei, I haven't experienced it yet, today's tribulation, I only knew, it is true." ”
Qu Menghu smiled and said Hey, it's a gesture, no need to say more.
After they agreed here, Liu Zhiyi walked over, knelt down with the confused and ignorant Liu Xiaoya, and continued to cry.
Qu Menghu saw that there was no one left and right, so he said to the little carpenter: "No one knows, your uncle will actually kill a horse gun and rob the Liu family, if he is really in collusion with the head of Wu, then you are afraid that it will be very dangerous, and Wu Banxian's guy, I am afraid he will not show up recently; So not only Liu Zhiyi has to go, but you also have to avoid the limelight for the time being. ”
Master Lu Da's death, if you want to investigate, one Zhang Qiming and one Wu Banxian, neither of them can escape.
However, now that they are colluding with the head of the militia group, the Jianghu people are definitely no match for the soldiers, so it is imperative to avoid the edge for the time being.
The little carpenter asked, "Shall I go with you?" ”
Qu Menghu shook his head and said no, you follow us, the goal is too big, it is better to leave alone, and I can still divert their attention. Thirteen, the current situation is more complicated, and it is not beneficial to you, so you have to go, first go to Yucheng to avoid the limelight, as for this revenge, I will report it with you when the time comes, how about it?
The little carpenter asked him, "Did you escort them to the provincial capital and come back with you?" ”
Qu Menghu shook his head and said that Liu Zhiyi's eldest brother was also a soldier, and we, the people of the rivers and lakes, try not to follow the cooperation, not to mention that I also have something to do - thirteen, to tell you the truth, when I went to southern Yunnan, I was actually looking for an enemy. I inquired about that enemy two years ago, and it is very likely that he is related to the case of my Qu family's extermination, but I have never had the courage to go over and explore......
Hearing this, the little carpenter could not help but be excited, and said, "I will go with you." ”
Qu Menghu smiled and said no, I went over, not to fight with people, but to investigate, and I don't need you for the time being, and ...... To tell you the truth, I went to the grave this time, and it was not without gain.
With that, he took out a thin book from his bosom.
The little carpenter looked down, but saw that on the cover, someone had written five words in wild cursive, because it was so sloppy that the little carpenter only knew two words.
One word is "son" and one word is "heaven".
"Zitian...... What? ”
Qu Menghu smiled slightly, and said with some pride: "This manuscript is the "Mozi Heavenly Machine Chapter". ”
Hearing this name, the little carpenter's breath suddenly became short: "Is there really a Mozi Heavenly Machine?" ”
Qu Menghu said: "Of course, but what we are talking about here is not about the method of cultivation, but about Mozi, or the descendants who inherited his doctrine, about the operation of heaven and earth, as well as the understanding and cognition of the art of the magic circle. I took a peek at it, and at first I felt that it was difficult, as if it was a mess, and I couldn't start, but after I looked back, I felt more and more meaningful, and I said a lot of righteousness - with this, I had the confidence to face the enemy, and all the enemies of the tragedy of the year were peeled back and found out one by one......"
He was full of confidence, and the little carpenter listened, was silent for a while, and said to him: "It's still the same sentence, as long as you can use me, in one word, go to the soup and go to the fire, and you will not give up." ”
Qu Menghu stretched out his hand, grabbed his arm, and grinned: "Of course, you are indispensable for catching strong men." But we're not parting with each other, I'm just going to explore the way, and I'll come back to you...... By the way, my trip is more tortuous, it's not good to take that fat cat, you can help me raise it first, okay? ”
The little carpenter was a little embarrassed, and said that it was good, but the fat cat was very fierce, and I was afraid that he would not listen to me.
Qu Menghu said: "It doesn't matter, although the little beast is perverse by nature and wild nature, it is not without weaknesses, I have learned the means of taming cats, and I have moved a little in its collar......
With that, he took out a brass piccolo the thickness of a little thumb and handed it to the little carpenter: "If it is disobedient, you take a whistle and blow two long notes and one short tone, and if it does not work once, blow it twice; As soon as this voice comes out, it doesn't matter if that guy is a jungle bully or a man-eating tiger, he has to lie down and listen to you obediently. ”
The little carpenter took the letter and took it, learned to blow it twice, and after Qu Menghu confirmed that it was correct, he put it away.
He asked, "What...... What's its name? ”
Qu Menghu thought for a while and said, "Let's call it tiger skin." ”
Little Carpenter: "......"
