Chapter 35: Nian Ci, the Evil of Bandits (The First Shift of the Third Watch)
"Transfer all the men and horses on Tiger Mountain, and leave only ten people to monitor and report." Meng Jiucheng issued an order, but before making a decision, it was still contradictory and difficult, but once it was made, he felt lighter.
Standing up and rubbing his hands, Meng Jiucheng smiled and said, "Du Qi, this gang of thieves, seems to be unwelcome, and they are all pushed out like a plague god. In that case, I don't think there will be anyone to cooperate with him and help him. Even if Lingyang Town and Crossroad Town are planning to attack us, they will not choose this time. ”
"Let's fight with Du Qi to lose both sides, and then we will weigh their hearts!" Mu Yi also agreed, "Du Qi has more than 400 people, and we don't have as many soldiers as him, so if we don't concentrate, I'm afraid we won't be sure." ”
Mu Xiaowei concentrated on baking the steamed buns on the chopsticks, which were browned and exuding aroma, took them down, blew them, and handed them to her sister who was waiting for them.
Boom, Qiao E swallowed vigorously.
Mu Xiaowei couldn't help but glance at Qiao E, smiled faintly, and said, "Xiaoxiao, is it okay to break half of it for Aunt Qiao?" My sister will bake it for you again. ”
Xiaoxiao was a little reluctant, but looking at Qiao E's expectant gaze, she handed over the entire burnt steamed bun again, and said crisply: "Aunt Qiao, you eat, sister will bake it for me again." ”
Qiao E saw the food, but she was more ignorant than the child, so she laughed and took it and gnawed it.
Before the battle, this atmosphere seems a little wrong, right?
Meng Jiucheng rolled his eyes, smiled at the well-behaved Xiaoxiao, and said, "Xiaoxiao, I heard that Mr. Chen changed your name, why don't you tell Shu Shu?" ”
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled, but did not answer.
Mu Yi looked at the young girl's kind gaze and said, "This child always misses her mother, so Mr. Chen changed her name to Nianci." Xiaoxiao took it as a nickname. ”
Meng Jiucheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he seemed to choke in his throat.
Jiaci refers to one's own mother; Nian Ci does mean missing his mother. But this, this name-
Meng Jiucheng laughed dryly, touched Nianci's head, and secretly said ruthlessly: If you meet a guy named Yang Kang or Wan Yankang in the future, Lao Tzu will kill him for you first.
………….
The weather is clear, and in the cold winter, it indicates that there is still warm weather on the earth. The sun shone softly, and there seemed to be a layer of moisture floating on the bare trees.
Riding on a horse, Du Qi was listless, and the soldiers under him were also lazy and lazy. Until I saw a small village in the distance, and the curling smoke rising from the village.
"*!" Du Qi knew the gazes cast around him, and scolded fiercely, "No matter how poor the village is, it can have a little oil and water, so it all for Lao Tzu!" ”
The soldiers who received permission immediately rose to their senses and ran towards the village with a roar. Two peasants carrying baskets spotted the wolf-like creatures and ran away, screaming in panic as they ran, alerting the other villagers.
Du Qi rushed onto the road, reined in his horse, brandished a big knife, and shouted at the fleeing peasants: "Stop, come back!" ”
The peasants did not stop, and fled faster and faster, and many of them fled in the village. The bandits shouted and chased, and the chaotic voices rang out in a mixed voice.
Du Qi jumped off his horse and walked towards the village, looking at both sides as he went. When he reached a threshing floor in the middle of the village, he stopped. He ordered his men to scatter and take back everything of value.
The two pro-soldiers followed Du Qi into a gloomy alley. The gutters of the alley smelled of urine and rotting vegetation. Du Qi looked into a small courtyard, the door was open, perhaps the owner of the house did not care about it when he fled in panic, and from the outside, he could see a straw bed, a sickle hanging on the wall, and a large crockpot with several stoves.
At the base of the courtyard wall lay a large fat pig with an iron chain around its neck, the other end of which was deeply embedded in the ground.
Du Qi grinned and admired, as if he had already eaten roast pork. Then he turned around and smiled and said to his subordinates: "This village is not poor, we can still kill pigs and eat meat." ”
The two subordinates laughed and stepped forward to lead the fat pig. Du Qi suddenly raised his hand and motioned for them to listen carefully, "Did you hear that?" He pointed to a low house in the courtyard, with a thatched roof, which was really a shed.
There was a "bang" inside just now, and something was broken. Du Qi rushed to the wooden door with two personal soldiers, closed the door, and plugged it in from the inside. The two soldiers kicked hard, opened the door, and jumped into the black hole. A scream came out, it was a woman's voice.
Du Qi let out a lewd smile and stepped in. There were two people standing in the room, a child of seven or eight years old and a young woman, their eyes wide open. The child sobbed and curled up in the woman's arms.
"Get out!" Du Qi shouted at the child, made a look of wiping his neck and killing chickens, and kicked and beaten, "Get out, get out!" He waved to his own soldiers, "You go elsewhere and have some fun, and come back later." ”
The child ran out in a panic, and the woman also wanted to walk away, but was grabbed by Du Qiyi's arm, "Don't go." ”
The two pro-soldiers smiled lewdly and withdrew knowingly.
Du Qi touched the girl's thick hair, and the girl stared at him in fear, her lips trembling. Du Qi suddenly pulled out the bamboo hairpin, and his jet-black hair suddenly fell on his shoulders. The frightened girl was still trembling, but it aroused the man's desire for her.
"Good girl." Du Qi smacked his lips in appreciation, and reached out to stroke the girl's round face, "What a beautiful little girl." He grabbed the skirt of the girl's collar for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and then tore it down violently, and the cloth was torn open like paper.
The girl staggered back a few steps and leaned against the wall, her hands ruffling up her torn clothes to cover her breasts.
"I won't hurt you. Okay, don't get along with yourself. Du Qi said, approaching with his pants in one hand and a whip in the other, "Obedient, obedient." He spoke in a soft tone, as if he were coaxing a child.
The girl froze, motionless, as if pinned to the wall.
"Disobedient?" Du Qi asked sharply, and before the girl could turn her face, the whip fell.
The girl cried out in pain and fell face to the ground.
"It doesn't hurt now, does it?" Du Qi threw away the horsewhip and unbuckled his trousers......
Suddenly, a dark shadow blocked the light coming in from outside the broken door frame, and then an arc of light slashed down from the air. Du Qi dodged back and tripped over. A man picked up his axe again as if he was crazy and slashed down at Du Qi who fell to the ground.
Du Qi rolled, with a sharp pain in his head, and his ears were cut off and half pulled. He howled, trying to get the knife on the ground. The man followed, continued to chop, blood splattered, and Du Qi had another axe on his leg, scuffling with the man.
