Chapter 3: Ambush
Ma Niangniang immediately got on the horse, she knew that the midwife could not be negligent in her work. If you can't keep up, you will die. Therefore, every time she receives a report from someone, she will not stop.
"Driving the ......" with a long call from Ma Niangniang, followed by a crisp whip sound of "lying down", the horse roared, and galloped wildly.
Everywhere I went, dust was flying. Along the way, attract the attention of everyone. People don't know about the seven horses, one yellow, six black, and the yellow foal carrying the man in red. Whether it is an official errand, or a bandit, or a large family, a family keeper who guards the house. People have different opinions, and they have their own opinions. The farmer is working in the field, the herb picker in the mountain, the shepherd boy herding cattle, and the girl picking lotus...... One by one, they looked into the distance towards Ma Niangniang and them, and watched them run into the distance.
In one hour, seven men, seven horses, one after the other, galloped to the Qinggou fortress. It turned out that at the entrance of the buzzing voice, there was no one at all. Ma Niangniang, who ran at the front, seemed to smell the mystery. She hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, and everyone stopped because Ma Niangniang stopped: "Miss, do you see it?" The pass in front seems to be a little wrong. How can there be no one in such a lively place? According to my feelings, it is not peaceful here today!"
When they saw it, it was still the same wood that had come in the morning, and it was still the same tree, and it was in the middle of the road. Zhao Er looked at it and felt a little bit in his heart: "It's not good! Fourth Miss, it should be the Wujindang bandits who came to take revenge on the two of us." There are ambushes on both sides, so quickly disperse and rush out. After speaking, he kicked his feet and waved his horsewhip: "Drive" and roared. The horse took Zhao Er and ran forward. It turned out that Zhao Er wanted to use his body to lure out bandits to shoot her. Let the fourth lady see where the bandits are hiding so that she can find a way to deal with them. This trick really worked. The bandits did fall for Zhao Er. Honk, honk, shoot straight at him.
The bandits on both sides of the pass were ambushed, and the gunfire was loud. Seeing this, Zhao Er tripped over the horse, and then fell to the ground, observing the terrain. He counted them on both sides, and obediently clicked on the ground, and there were more than thirty guns.
Seeing this, Liu Zhaodi thought that Zhao Erlian led a horse and fell to the ground and died. In a fit of anger, he hurriedly drew his gun: "Brothers, rush me!"
"Yes......" the crowd was about to ride their horses forward.
Ma Niangniang suddenly raised her hand: "No, Fourth Miss, please listen to my persuasion." Right now, the enemy is outnumbered. The bandits are prepared, and we have to hurry to get there. The best way to go, don't think about war, get out as soon as possible. Delaying your sister-in-law's delivery is a big deal. Getting rid of these people is the best policy, what do you think?"
The people were so anxious that even the horses were so anxious that they were digging up the dirt. The fourth lady sweated even more on the tip of her nose: "In this way, let's work in pairs and ride forward." Attract the bandits' firepower, protect Ma Niangniang, and quickly get out of the fortress. As long as Ma Niangniang passes, the rest of the people are ready to fight to the death with the bandits. Quick, let's split up and get ready. ”
Hearing this, Ma Niangniang settled down. I feel that the fourth lady is really worthy of everyone's beauty and is well-informed. If you want to break out of the pass, you can only fight to the death. Instead of kneeling and living, it is better to die standing up, enough buddy! So, she took out a German revolver from her small bag. said to Miss Four: "Miss Four, which of the two of us protects whom, it's not certain." Well, let's compete today to see who can hit accurately and hard. With that, she chirped and turned on the revolver safe. Say: "Rush over!"
Zhao Er fell to the ground, just a blind spot that the bandits couldn't see. The location of the bandits' ambush on both sides of the mountain, he looked carefully, just waiting for the bandits to show their heads.
In other words, the second son of the Wujindang bandits, Xiao Ji. In the morning, he was angry with the fourth lady, and he also lost three brothers, how could he explain to the boss when he went back? He made his own move, and found a group of little minions, second-rate people, etc. from the neighborhood, and asked them to come over to join in the fun and cheer bravely. They waited here for a long time, and finally waited for the arrival of the fourth lady and the others. The intention was to force the fourth lady to submit, firstly to avenge the dead brothers, and secondly, to take the opportunity to extort a sum of money from Liujiazhuang. Without this bad breath, it is difficult for him to raise his head in front of the brothers of Wujindang. So, take someone to set up an ambush. Knowing that Ming's fight is no match for Miss Four and a group of people, the famous guns are easy to dodge, and the hidden arrows are difficult to defend. I'm going to play hide and seek with you, hehe......
Unbeknownst to everyone, he found a large group of second-rate people, not even bandits. Usually, it's delicious and lazy to do, and the fish and meat are neighbors. Do some stealing and robbing. Stubborn, extortion, and extortion. Some don't even know how to use guns, they can only wipe their clothes and sleeves to scare and scare the people. Usually, I also play some tricks to coax children with supports, magic tricks and so on. Where is the real gun, the real fight has been done. As soon as I heard that I was really going to kill someone, I was so frightened that my legs were like sifting fine chaff, and I was trembling.
Seeing this, Xiao Ji went up and kicked it: "Damn, the people from Liujiazhuang haven't come yet, so they will scare you into wetting your pants." If someone really comes, you won't be scared to death! Get up and watch Lao Tzu teach you how to shoot. With that, he took a gun from his men. He gestured in his hand and said, "Everyone look, shoot a gun, first learn to hold a gun." The butt of this gun should be against the right shoulder. Hold the butt with your left hand and pull the trigger with your fingers. Then, aim for the target. To aim at this, first close your left eye, look at the small gap in the middle of the ruler with your right eye, and aim at the front sight in front of the barrel, which is called the three-point line. A thug hurriedly interrupted Xiao Ji to speak: "Second brother, I don't have a right eye, so how can I aim it?"
Xiao Ji did it, and he couldn't cry or laugh. When he came to this little thug, he saw that he was really blind in his right eye. He was so angry that he opened his mouth and scolded: "Temo, who brought you here? Are you here to make up the numbers?" Seeing that no one answered, Xiao Ji continued to fiddle with the gun and said: "Next, you aim at the head and hit the tip ......of the nose; you aim at the tip of the nose and hit the chin; you aim at the chin and hit the chest." Finally, pull the trigger for me, do you understand?" Without waiting for anyone to answer:
"Lying down" a gangster really pulled the trigger, who knew that the gun had already been pressed with bullets. This shot frightened the pedestrians on the side of the road, and they hid in Tibet one by one. A hula, clear the ditch fortress, people's hearts are panicked. In the morning, three bandits were killed here, just buried. Now, there is a large group of bandits. Those who do business, buy and sell and rush to the market, know right and wrong, and something big will happen. Fearing that the bandits would die innocently in the melee, the Venerable Master fled to their homes and locked their doors. The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond. People are worried that a catastrophe is coming, and they go to pick up an unlucky egg and come back, and die a bad death, how worthless it is.
A second-rate person who shoots a gun, he really learns to shoot. Laughing from ear to ear: "Hahaha, boss, you, look, this thing is really good." As soon as you say that, as soon as I pull the trigger, he snaps and it rings. Really, really, really, with energy!" he said, gesturing, excited.
was so angry that Xiao Ji gave him a big slap in the face: "Grandma, you are a soft egg." Why don't you aim at Lao Tzu and shoot, ah! I'm teaching you how to shoot. Where did you really fight? The people from Liujiazhuang haven't come yet, so you can shoot Lao Tzu. Originally, Lao Tzu was ambushed here, unaware. It's good now, it's scared everyone out. You're a wreck, you're mad!"
The thugs were overwhelmed and thought to themselves, "You're going to tell us to shoot in a minute, and you're not going to let me shoot if I shoot you." Yara, are you going to let us shoot or not? He was slapped by Xiao Ji, and he didn't know the south, south, west, and north.
At this moment, the spy came to report: "Second brother, the people from Liujiazhuang are here." Quick, quick, let the big guy ambush well. ”
Xiao Ji was angry, and when he saw that the spies were panicking, he couldn't get angry: "Grandma, what are you panicking about? Liujiazhuang is your father, so afraid of them?" After speaking, he waved his hand: "Brothers, listen to me." After a while, the people of Liujiazhuang passed by. Everyone listens to my command, as long as I shout and fight. Whoever kills a Liujiazhuang person for me, I will reward you with ten taels of silver. Kill two, and I will reward you with twenty taels. As for how to shoot a gun, do what I just said, that's right. Quick, enter the ambush circle and wait for my orders. ”
The bandits have entered their respective positions. Just now, the little thug who was beaten, he no longer dared to put his hand on the trigger. He aimed at the empty road, and kept shouting: "Horn, horn, horn......" His hand was still in the waistband of his trousers. Because, he didn't want to be beaten again.
Xiao Ji heard the sound of horses' hooves, stretched out his head to look, and it turned out to be really here. Seeing that it was Zhao Erchong in front, he shouted vigorously: "Brothers, call me." "Bandits, when they heard Xiao Ji give orders, they saw that someone was about to break in, and they raised their guns to aim.
"Horn Horn Horn Horn ......" There was a burst of gunfire, Xiao Ji saw it with his own eyes, and Zhao Erlian fell to the ground with his horse. Then he raised his gun on the hillside and shouted: "Good fight, brothers." There are seven of them, and we have already left one of them behind. That's it, I continued to aim and fight, and hit to the death. ”
And at this time, the fourth lady and Ma Niangniang broke into the Qinggou fortress one after another. As soon as the bandits heard that Xiao Ji was doing it, they asked them to aim before shooting, and they showed their heads one by one. Some people were standing and shooting at the people of Liujiazhuang. Zhao Eryi saw that the opportunity was rare. He pretended to be dead and waited for this moment. I only heard two "pop" sounds, and immediately knocked down two. The remaining bandits, as long as they go all the way, they will be headshot by Zhao Er.
Seeing this, Xiao Ji shouted: "Damn, Zhao Er, you bastard." Play pretending to be dead for Lao Tzu, what kind of hero are you. Immediately afterward, he saw four more people get headshots. No matter how he scolded, Zhao Er only breached his head, but ignored him. Angry, Xiao Ji hurriedly called on the bandits: "Quick, squat down for Lao Tzu, lie on your stomach, don't show your head." The Zhao Er below is a sharpshooter, don't give your life in vain. After saying that, he "snapped" and sat in the ravine, not daring to show his head. But just watching Liu Jiazhuang rush the card and slip away from under his nose, he was unwilling. So, he waved his hand. He shouted like thunder: "Brothers, keep beating me, chase after them." ”
As a result, the bandits did not dare to be disobedient. What should I do if I am afraid of being shot in the head? A few thugs blinked their eyes and pouted at the top of the opposite hill. So, they didn't even want to aim. Shoot straight at the top of the opposite hill. Ping-pong, a burst of gunshots.
Zhao Er fired six shots in succession, killing six of their brothers. No matter how many bandits there are, they don't dare to aim and shoot in the name of elegance. In addition, the fourth lady and Ma Niangniang, while riding their horses and galloping, also aimed at the mountain and fired their guns. Although they couldn't hit people, at least, the firepower of ping-pong made the bandits dare not raise their heads.
"Hit ......" The fourth lady gave an order, and everyone raised their guns to shoot while protecting Ma Niangniang's left and right.
Bandits on the mountain: "Hit ......" crackled, and bullets rained down over everyone's heads.
Zhao Er saw that the fourth young lady had rushed to the front and jumped up with his horse. As he flew on his horse, he kept pulling the trigger in both directions......
There was a rush of running, and everyone was out of breath. Although he has experienced a hundred battles, this bullet does not have a long eye. Fear is a normal human psychology. Probably, about 500 meters away from the Qinggou fortress. Everyone stopped, and the fourth lady covered her chest with one hand: "Let's get off the horse and check to see if anyone is injured." Look carefully, don't be careless! Human injuries and horse injuries must be treated in a timely manner. Otherwise, if you run another thirty miles, it will be too late to regret it. Liu Zhaodi ordered everyone to check carefully.
"My horse is not hurt, and the people are fine!" reported Cheng Sangeng, a member of the family.
"My horse, not even a single hair is missing, please rest assured Miss Four. Jia Ding Luo Sanqiang reported.
"I got a hole in my calf with a bullet, but the horse is fine!" said Xu Sanma, a member of the family, covering his leg with his hand. Just now, he didn't feel it. For a moment, I felt that my calves were slimy. When he picked up his trouser leg and looked at it, it turned out that blood was gushing out from both sides of his calf, and he knew that he had been pierced by a bullet. I don't know which one of the eight lambs is going to be hit. When everyone heard this, they hurriedly ran over and surrounded Xu Sanma in a circle. Someone bandaged him, someone helped him to sit on the ground.
Ma Niangniang came over and said, "Big guy, let me go, I have Yunnan Baiyao here." Specializing in knife wounds, come, let me come!"
The fourth lady squatted down, held Xu Sanma's legs, and Ma Niangniang gave medicine. He continued to ask, "Is there anyone else hurt?"
Xu Sanfeng, the family member, hurriedly replied: "Fourth Miss, you better take a look at yourself first, both me and Ma are fine!" Fourth Miss heard this, and really helped Ma Niangniang check it. Seeing that Ma Niangniang's body was intact, she went to check her yellow horse again. As a result, he didn't find anything, so he got back on the horse: "Xu Sanma, can you still ride a horse?" the fourth lady asked worriedly.
Xu Sanma shook his head and said to the fourth lady embarrassedly: "Ah, fourth miss, cut off the bowl of big scars on your head." This little wound is like being bitten by a mosquito. It's not a big deal, you can rest assured to rush back!" After speaking, Xu Sanma smiled at everyone.
At this moment, a large carriage came in front of me. Look at the bells and whistles on the carriage, swaggering through the market. The person in the car, nine times out of ten, is a figure with a head and a face. Otherwise, the army will be in chaos, and the robbers and bandits will plunder, won't this cause trouble? Rich people, it's too late to hide. How can there be such idlers, publicizing and building. Could it be that he wasn't afraid that someone would be worried? After a while, the carriage came to the people of Liujiazhuang. Everyone avoided it, the road was narrow, and the carriage was wide. In addition, a few of them and a few horses gathered together, of course, it is in the way of other people's affairs.
Ma Niangniang packed up the medicine box, and together with everyone, helped Xu Sanma onto the horse. I looked up and told Liu Zhaodi, "Fourth Miss, fortunately, the bullet passed through the calf." If he hurts his bones, he won't be as amazing as he is now. When she spoke, she was heard by the people in the carriage. I only heard the handlebar change: "......" creaked, and the carriage stopped abruptly.
Hurrying to the back of the car, he lifted the curtain behind the carriage sedan chair. Out of it came a half-aged, plump, snow-white, and pink. Seeing Ma Niangniang, she walked straight over. Facing Ma Niangniang, she stretched out a pair of big hands and exclaimed loudly: "Ah, it's really you! As soon as I heard you in the car, I knew it was you, the benefactor!" After speaking, another fashionably dressed lady got out of the car. It seems that there are five out of ten years.
Ma Niangniang was called out by someone who came: Blinded! Although she tried her best, she couldn't remember where she had seen this old and young woman in front of her. So, she smiled and asked a little embarrassedly, "Excuse me, ......who are you?" She was embarrassed to ask who the person was. If it is really his acquaintance, wouldn't he offend people like this?
Anyway, Mrs. seems to know what Ma Niangniang is thinking. She grabbed one of Ma Niangniang's hands, shook it and said, "Oh, I'm Mrs. Jiang Hexi of Dongyou Village, Li Chunfang!" Seeing that Ma Niangniang was still confused, her smile seemed unnatural. Li Chunfang let go of Ma Niangniang's hand, pulled the little girl and said, "This is the difficult birth child you helped me deliver, called Jiang Xinyu." You see, she's sixteen years old this year, and she's about to get married. ”
The little girl's face flushed when she said: "Mother, why do you talk like this." People are shy!" The girl hid her face and shook her head.
"Oh, weird lady has a lot of mouths. It's not good for my mother, and in the future, my mother won't talk about it. With that, she pushed the girl in front of Ma Niangniang and said, "Quick, listen to the mother's words and call the benefactor." ”
The girl hurriedly bent her knees and saluted: "Thank you for saving your life!"
Li Chunfang continued to say to the girl: "When my mother gave birth to you, you were in your mother's belly, and you couldn't get out for a day and a night. Ahh Your father is in a hurry to send someone to find a midwife. Come to one, touch it for the mother's belly. Shaking his head as he walked, he didn't even dare to say anything, and two of them, the same pretend, one set. Whisper a few words to your father, shake your head, sigh and leave, come three, let your mother lie down for a while, sit for a while, and then stand for a while. Seeing that you still didn't come out, he waved his hand at your father, only saying hello and saying that there was nothing he could do. Thanks to Master Liu of Liujiazhuang, he heard that I was in difficult childbirth, so he hurriedly went to invite Ma Niangniang. Thanks to Ma Niangniang, she forced you to come over in your mother's belly. The result was a smooth delivery. Otherwise, our mother and daughter would have died a long time ago!
When Ma Niangniang heard this, she patted her head: "Ouch, I said why do I feel kind when I see you." It turned out to be Mrs. Jiang Daguanren, Ms. Li Chunfang! If you don't say it, I really can't remember it. After 16 years, you still remember me so much, it's really hard for you. After that, Ma Niangniang hugged Jiang Xinyu and kissed her on the forehead, which looked so enviable. The little girl hurriedly asked her mother: "Mother, then what will I call my benefactor in the future?"
"Are you, huh, this...... You also call her mother. Although my mother was pregnant in October, she was miserable. If you leave your mother, Ma Niangniang, you won't be able to live today. She is the benefactor of her mother, even closer than your mother. Forget your mother, and you can't forget Ma Niangniang. Li Chunfang's eyes were filled with tears.
Ma Niangniang put her hands and hugged the little girl's cheeks tightly. Facing the forehead of the little girl, he shook vigorously and said, "If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future." Your mother and daughter will be high-ranking officials in the future, and they will enjoy endless glory and wealth. Ah, I'm going to Liujiazhuang today. Otherwise, I will definitely bring you mother and daughter to my house. After saying that, I still reluctantly touched the little girl's face with my hand, which was so cute!
Li Chunfang hurriedly said: "I'm not busy! I'm coming here this time, and I'm going to go to Wujindang's cousin's place." It is said that he rose up in this area, claiming that there are thousands of people in the team. So, I took my daughter and my relatives left! Anyway, I had nothing to do at home. It's boring to play mahjong or play small cards all day. Come out and hang out to broaden your horizons. The eldest cousin asked someone to bring a message many times, and he didn't come to see him again, lest people say strange things! When he returned home, Liujun Town, horizontal and vertical was the only way to go. At that time, it will not be too late to visit your mansion. Since the benefactor has something important, he will not delay today. See you another day, and then talk slowly. After speaking, he hurriedly saluted Ma Niangniang.
"Alright then, go to Ujindang, be careful all the way. The carriage can only be placed in the town of Qianxing, near Wujindang. Then, it takes about half a day to find Ugindang by boat. Where it is not peaceful, your mother and daughter are cautious. As he spoke, he waved his hand at the slowly departing carriage to show goodbye!
Seeing off Li Chunfang's mother and daughter, Ma Niangniang jumped on the horse and said to Liu Zhaodi: "Fourth Miss, let's go!" According to Liu Zhaodi's account, her sister-in-law is likely to have a stomachache now. Right now, I can't wait to rush to the pregnant woman's side immediately. As long as she Ma Niangniang is on the side, she can settle down with a heart. Staying on the road for one more minute, Ma Niangniang was restless. Maybe it's been a professional habit for many years, every time I hear someone come to the door to take me. It indicates that there is about to be a little more life on the earth. Ma Niangniang is happy about her profession. Often showing off herself in front of others, she is also not modest and unobtrusive.
"Driving ......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The sound of horses' hooves and the dust were flying.
Seven men, hunched over the horses, galloped all the way.
Along the way, passers-by saw this and took refuge one after another! The dust raised by the horses choked the passers-by to cover their mouths and hold their breath.
Some people scolded and scolded: "Riding a horse is like a robber, dare to be reincarnated!"
Although people pointed fingers at them, and even chattered in their mouths, the fourth lady took Ma Niangniang, and there was only the sound of the wind in her ears. I can't hear anything else.
