Chapter Thirty-Seven: Old Students
Gu San's words were indeed not wrong. The most important thing at the moment is to distance yourself from Commander Li's minions first. Stay away from Steward Li's corpse, so as not to be implicated.
At this point in time, after a while, the next person entered the door, and he should have found Commander Li's body. Steward Li and the newly married fifteenth aunt are nowhere to be seen, and it is estimated that this can become the gossip of others after dinner. I don't know what these people who are plain guessers will think after seeing Steward Li's corpse.
"It's true that Commander Li has soldiers under him, but there are only a few who have brains. His son is a notoriously unruly man, and the people under his command can have a few clothes. I'm afraid that when the time comes, I don't expect to do less and make fewer mistakes, and if I don't do well, I will get some money for the gangsters. ”
Murong Yuhua listened to what Gu San said, and was a little unconvinced, "Besides, I can't let you continue to walk with injuries, right?" If it really gets worse, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk in the future. ”
"If we are caught up, you and I don't have to think about whether we can walk or not in our lives."
Murong Yuhua was choked by her words, and couldn't find a suitable answer for a while, so he could only obediently obey her arrangement and lead the old scalper towards the deep mountains.
In the early morning, the mountain fog has not yet lifted, and among the misers, birds and finches suddenly burst out of the bushes and soared all the way up. The cowbell was also thrown to the side of the road by Gu San, and Murong Yuhua was very distressed, rubbing Brother Niu's head and saying, "Today this bell was thrown away, next time I will buy you a bigger and louder one!" ”
Gu San sat on the back of the cow and looked at him with a radiant look as he spoke. The cloak he was wearing was taken off for Gu San when he sat on the back of the cow and gave it to her, with a short black coat on the inside, a pair of dirty linen pants on the bottom, and patches on the clothes.
She wanted to ask something, but for some reason, she couldn't say it. How to say that? Ask what happened to the family before? How did you provoke Commander Lee? What does it have to do with her?
The more you know, the more you realize that this person in front of you is not the other.
They slowly stretched out along the mountain road, and both of them looked a little strangely dressed, one was wearing an oversized and ill-fitting military uniform, and the other was wearing clothes and trousers that were patched up. The cow flicked its tail, moved forward calmly without saying a word, and occasionally stopped to chew on the weeds growing between the two mountain roads, and let Murong Yuhua hold the rope and pull forward. In what should have been summer, the sun was shining brighter, dispelling the fog in the mountains, and in the distance, the scenery gradually became clearer, and you could see small yellow flowers dotted among the low bushes.
Go any further, and there will be no road. A dense bamboo forest was in front of the two.
Gu San said, "Let's go into the woods." It's easy to hide away from the road. ”
And he went into the forest.
In fact, along the way, the two did not always say a word. Murong Yuhua has an unbearable temper, and he inevitably has to chat with others. This habit is the same as before, he just talks a lot, chatters, and can't stop talking as soon as the floodgates are opened.
"Have you ever heard of the robbery of a pawnshop in Beiling Township? That's what we did. To tell you the truth, I was the mastermind, and I had been a partner in the pawnshop for several months, and I figured out the way in and out of the robbery. In less than a stick of incense, they robbed all their money from the abduction, and by the way, they also let go of all the little wives who were defrauded. ”
Gu San sat on the back of the ox and listened quietly, listening to him boast to himself.
"There is also the grain of the landlord's old rich family in Xiahe Town, and the little golden pig surnamed Township Chief Liu, which I planned."
When Murong Yuhua said this, he still patted his chest with a very proud look.
"Last winter's grain harvest failed, many people in ten miles and eight towns couldn't open the pot, one night I heard a few dog barks, and the next day all the grain was put in front of the door, do you know who did it?"
Murong Yuhua raised his eyebrows again, and before the words came out, Gu San took the lead first, "You did it." ”
He grinned, "It wasn't all me, either. It was me and my brothers who did it. ”
"Oh? I thought you'd take all the credit for it. Gu San said, "Since you are so smart, those bandit brothers of yours should not let you go." ”
Speaking of this, Murong Yuhua's eyes darkened, and he held the rope and sighed, "Some differences in concepts, differences in concepts, everything I know and understand is too advanced for them. But I'm still grateful to have them. If it weren't for them, my good brothers, maybe I would have died a long time ago. ”
Speaking of this, he paused. This pause was obviously hoping that Gu San would ask him something about the past so that he could continue.
Gu San had already put away his curiosity, but looking at his gaze, he still helplessly cooperated, "So what happened to you at that time?" ”
Murong Yuhua seemed to be very happy with what she said, and he naturally said, "Actually, before I became a bandit again, I was a student, I studied abroad, don't look at me like this, in fact, my brain is still quite good." ”
"yes, you're still an inventive genius, maybe with an IQ of up to two hundred."
Gu San completely subconsciously picked up this sentence. Murong Yuhua was a little surprised by her praise for herself, after all, she didn't look like a woman who would easily praise others.
However, he didn't plan to delve into the matter for the time being, and followed her words, "Yes, I'm a genius. It's normal for a genius to express some of his thoughts on the current sad political situation, right? ”
Gu San shrugged his shoulders in reply.
"However, it was such a simple and responsible thing that caused me to kill people. My friend and I were chased all the way by the army during a march. My friends were all dead, on the way to escape, and I was shot. He turned his head and pointed to his shoulder blade on his left side, "Fell into the water, floated all the way down the current, and was eventually picked up by a group of bandits who were rushing by." ”
"How long ago was that?"
"Two years ago."
"That's not too long."
"Yes, but two years is enough time to transform me from a non-violent literati to a violent bandit. To be honest, after the dangers of being hunted down, it's hard not to agree with the saying 'guns are truth'. Although I know it's not quite right. Right? You can't take away someone's life just because you deny them. Murong Yuhua spoke as fast as ever, "But the most important thing now is that as a civilized person, you deny this, but people who really own guns will not show mercy to your subordinates because of your civilization." They just want to eliminate the voices that don't fit in, the voices that try to wake up others. ”
Gu San listened to him once again and pulled away from the topic, reminding, "So, does this have anything to do with the bandit brothers you left behind?" If you think that owning a gun equals owning the truth, you should stay with those guys and tell them about your ideas so that nothing goes wrong. ”
"If only it could be that simple, girl." Murong Yuhua smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Turn a group of bandits into revolutionaries who shed their blood for the sake of the common people and for freedom and democracy?" It's harder than climbing to the sky. Most of the people who went to bandit were just peasants who couldn't survive. They all have part-time jobs. Pick up a hoe during busy farming hours, and pick up a gun during idle hours. And yet the revolution? Revolution is not a 'part-time' job. The risk factor is too high, and everything you get is too little. What 'part-time peasant bandit' would be willing to do such a thankless task? ”
Murong Yuhua said this, but he didn't touch his nose.
"I'm tempting to say a little too much."
"You're always prone to talk a lot." After saying this, Gu San regretted it a little, this obviously overlapped Murong Yuhua of the two worlds again. When Murong Yuhua heard this, he asked, "Is that friend of yours like the same?" ”
"Hmm."
"As smart as me?"
"It's comparable."
"Then he must be interesting."
"Interesting?" Gu San smiled, "Sometimes he's annoying. ”
"What's his name? Do you look like me? ”
"What's your name......" Gu San looked at him, how should this be said? You have the same name, you are all Murong Yuhua, and you all look the same.
You are him.
That sounds ridiculous.
"He looks a little like you. As for the name...... He also has the surname Murong. ”
Murong Yuhua looked a little excited, "Is it!" Murong what? There are not many families surnamed Murong around here, tell me the name, maybe I still know each other. ”
"No, he's not around here."
"Okay then." Murong Yuhua looked a little dumbfounded. As they talked, a small cave gradually appeared in front of them, and the two of them looked at each other and forgot about it, and made a decision. This place is a good place to flee. Murong Yuhua tied the cow to the tree on the side, said "wait a minute" to Gu San, and then took the knife in his hand and went to work in the bamboo forest.
A moment later, he came back with a handful of bamboo leaves, laid them out in the cave layer by layer, and wiped the water stains on them with his sleeve. After doing this, he turned back and half-crouched beside the cow's back." ”
Gu San watched as he turned his back to himself, "...... You're going to carry me? ”
"Still...... Men and women don't kiss, but I can't let you go again because your feet are like that. Murong Yuhua looked back at her, and her ears turned red again because of her words. He turned his head again and urged, "Come up, I'll carry you." When I first cut bamboo, I saw that there were also a lot of herbs. I'll put it on for you in a moment. ”
Gu San didn't refuse any more. After Murong Yuhua placed her, he lay there and straightened the bamboo leaves, and only then did he stand up and go out when he saw that there was no problem. Gu San looked at his back holding the knife, and suddenly opened his mouth to stop him, "Murong Yuhua." ”
The young man turned to look at her.
Gu San took out the gun in his arms, "You take it for self-defense." ”
"Me? I have a knife. Besides, what if I run away with a gun? ”
Gu San ignored what he said, just handed the gun forward again, "Take it, what if?" ”
Murong Yuhua was a little embarrassed to take over the "revolver?" Not bad. Commander Li confiscated it, right? ”
Knowing that he had to talk a lot again, Murong Yuhua squeezed out a smile at her, "I'll pick up the medicine for you and come back." ”
Then he went out, and after a short time he disappeared. Gu San watched his figure disappear into the jungle, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, leaning back, and listening coldly to the sound of gunshots outside the cave!
