The middle-aged man said lightly: "There is nothing for you to do, I will wait for a few people, tired in the middle of the night, people are sleepy and tired, I want to ask a few people to help us carry this white bear to the bottom of the mountain, you can rest assured, when you get to the bottom of the mountain, I will naturally give you two silver taels." "It's still a draft, and I'll revise it tomorrow.
When Xiao Laodao heard this, he looked at my grandfather and Xiao Chujiu, and Xiao Laodao said to my grandfather: "Chu Shi, do you think we can do it, can you take over the work of adults?" "Actually, the grandfather and a few people can't refuse at this time.
The grandfather nodded, "No problem, I'll do it alone." ”
Xiao Laodao hurriedly said: "You are not familiar with the road here, and I must accompany you as a teacher." ”
"Huh?" The middle-aged man suddenly said "hey", raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Chujiu, "Isn't this big man good, I think he is tall and big, he should have the strength." ”
Xiao Laodao hurriedly said loudly: "My lord, he can't do it, he's a fool, don't look big, he has no strength on his body." ”
As soon as Xiao Laodao said this, Xiao Chujiu immediately smirked twice, and the middle-aged man suddenly showed a look of disdain and no longer paid attention to it.
The middle-aged people actually brought a rope and a lifting pole, and they seemed to be prepared, and then tied the dead white bear with a rope, and the lifting pole was threaded into the rope, so that my grandfather and Xiao Laodao could carry it.
Before leaving, Xiao Laodao shouted to Xiao Chujiu and a few people, "You are all waiting here, don't go into the forest, there are poisonous insects and beasts in the forest, don't go in, don't go in......" Xiao Chujiu and several people heard this, all of them stood still, and they didn't answer, and saw the Taiye and Xiao Laodao leave with the four of them.
Insert a sentence here, what kind of animal is this "white bear", I believe many people have seen it, it is what we now call the giant panda, but in the past, in Sichuan, they were called "white bears" or "bamboo bears", and the name of the giant panda is only in modern times.
The middle-aged man and the three young people were indeed walking down the mountain, they were walking in front, and Taiye and Xiao Laodao were carrying the big white bear behind.
After walking a distance down the mountain, Xiao Laodao took advantage of the fact that the people in front of him were not paying attention, and whispered to my grandfather, "When you get to the bottom of the mountain, you have to pay more attention, I don't think these four people have any good intentions." ”
The master said: "Since you know that there is danger, why do you want to come, you come with me, it is better to let the ninth brother come." "What the master means, if there is really trouble, he and Chu Jiu are both young and strong, and it is easy to get out.
Xiao Laodao said: "Can I let Chu Jiu come over, think about it, you killed a bear in two or three hits, who can do it in ordinary people, they already have some doubts about you, if they see Chu Jiu's arm strength again, then we still have a good son, when the time comes, we will really think that we are the court criminals or Xiangma bandits." ”
The master said: "Then you don't need to come with me, I'll just be alone." ”
Xiao Laodao said: "I'm afraid you'll do something stupid, there is still a big tomb waiting for us in Shudi, if you kill the court officials here, can we stay here......
At this moment, a young man in front of him shouted softly: "What are you two talking about in the back, follow up!" ”
"Okay, military master." Xiao Laodao hurriedly agreed, and the two of them didn't dare to say anything more, so they quickened their pace and followed.
When a few people came to the bottom of the mountain, the sky was already dark, and on the main road down the mountain, there was a carriage parked, and next to the carriage, there were two soldiers who were squatting and dozing, dressed in military uniforms, and each of them was holding a very strange thing in his arms, which looked like a weapon, but there was no blade. On the wheels of the carriage, four tall horses were also tethered.
At this time, a young man beside the middle-aged man ran over quickly, ran to the carriage, and ordered the two dozing soldiers, each kicked them, and the two soldiers were suddenly startled and hurriedly picked up the "weapon" in their arms.
However, after seeing the young man clearly, he quickly got up from the ground and clenched his fists, "Adults forgive sins, adults forgive sins!" ”
At this time, the middle-aged man walked to the carriage with the grandfather and a few people, and the two soldiers hurriedly hugged the middle-aged man again, "I've seen Lord Zuoling, Lord Zuoling, you're back." ”
The middle-aged man looked at the two soldiers, said lightly, and said: "Eat a few mouthfuls of blessing, longevity, and anointing to improve the spirit, carry this dead bear back, and tell the foreign lord that the one alive has not been caught, if you want to live, wait a few more days." ”
"Huh!"
The two soldiers agreed, helped the grandfather and Xiao Laodao, and carried the dead bear to the car, and then, gave the middle-aged man a fist again, untied the four horses on the wheel, and drove the carriage away.
After the two soldiers left, the middle-aged man instructed one of the young men, "Lead your horse to the village in front of you, wait for us in the village, remember, don't reveal your identity." ”
"Huh!" The young man said yes, took the four horses and left.
Then, the middle-aged man turned around, looked at Taiye and Xiao Laodao, and smiled faintly, "Two, let's be honest with me, what are you all this place for?" ”
The master didn't say anything, Xiao Laodao hurriedly hugged his fists, "My lord's forgiveness, my lord really knows everything, and there are a few villains...... It's really not a showmanship, we ...... We are Orion. ”
The middle-aged man said "heh" and didn't speak, Xiao Laodao continued: "A few villains, entrusted by people, came to the mountains to hunt for white bears. ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, his face changed slightly, "I really guessed correctly...... Say, who sent you? ”
Xiao Laodao licked his lips and said, "Villain...... The villain is employed by an old man with the surname Gao......"
"The lord surnamed Gao?" The middle-aged man suddenly looked surprised, turned his head and asked the two young people beside him, "Who do you say, whose surname will be Gao?" ”
The two young men shook their heads at the same time, and the middle-aged man asked Xiao Lao Dao again, "What does this old man surnamed Gao do?" ”
Xiao Laodao hurriedly replied: "I don't know, I heard that it is a famous family, I don't know what to do, the eldest young master of their house found us." ”
"Then where is this old man from now?"
"Wangwushan people, I heard that Master Gao is very famous in the Wangwushan area......"
As soon as the master heard Xiao Laodao's words, he immediately pinched a cold sweat for Xiao Laodao, this old Taoist priest really dared to say that he actually pulled the group of flower thieves in Wangwushan!
When the middle-aged man heard this, he pondered for a moment, "That old man...... What do you want to do with white bears? ”
Xiao Laodao hurriedly shook his head, "We don't know about this." ”
"And how much reward does he give you?"
As soon as the middle-aged man asked this, Xiao Laodao hesitated for a moment and said: "Two hundred taels of silver, first give fifty taels for coiling, saying that when we catch the white bear, we will give the rest to us." ”
The middle-aged man suddenly smiled, "I'll give you three hundred taels, and bring your people into the mountain with us, but ...... I want to live! ”
"What?" Xiao Laodao glanced at the master, revealing a difficult expression.
"What, don't you agree?"
"Agree, agree, even if the adults don't give the silver, the villains are few...... The villains also have to saddle up the horses and horses for the adults, and they will not give up! When Xiao Laodao was saying "don't quit", the master obviously saw him gritting his back molars.
"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded, "I'm tired all night today, and I'm tired, so let's go back to the village on the mountain and rest for a while." ”
When Xiao Laodao heard this, his face changed slightly.
The middle-aged man instructed the two young people around him to find a house in the village and rest temporarily, but the two young people came back after a while, saying that there was no vacancy in the village, and the villagers did not give them a nightstay.
Xiao Laodao hurriedly said to the middle-aged man, this is not as good as the Central Plains, there are no idle houses in each family, it is better to find a place outside the village, and he and my grandfather will go into the village to find a few other guys.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he pointed to my grandfather and said to Xiao Laodao: "He went to find your buddy, you stay." The middle-aged man seemed to be afraid that the master would run away, and he wanted to keep Xiao Laodao as a hostage.
Xiao Laodao gave the grandfather a look, but the grandfather didn't speak, nodded at the middle-aged man, and stepped into the village.
At this time, the sky was already dawning, and soon, the master came to the house that collapsed, but Xiao Chujiu and them were gone, knocked on the door and asked, the owner of the sheep said to the master, "After you left with the adult, your fellows also left and went into the forest." ”
When the master heard this, he looked puzzled and asked, "Didn't you fall asleep at that time?" ”
The owner of the lost sheep said, "When you killed the bear, I woke up and did not dare to come out, and watched from behind the door."
The master immediately summed up, and when he left before, Xiao Laodao said loudly to Xiao Chujiu and the others, don't go into the forest for kilowatts. It seems that Xiao Laodao said the opposite, which means that let them hide in the forest first, if you want to say so, Xiao Chujiu must have left a mark in the forest after they entered the forest.
The master looked at the forest, turned around and wanted to leave, but at this time, the master remembered something and asked the owner of the lost sheep, "By the way, what about the little white bear?" ”
When the owner of the lost sheep heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he said tremblingly: "But, don't mention that little white bear, bad luck!" ”
"What's wrong?" The grandfather looked calm.
The owner of the sheep said, "After you are gone, I will continue to sleep, but I have not fallen asleep...... No, I don't know where to run out of two monsters, pick up the little white bear and leave, I want to get up from the bed and see, who knows, the other monster rushed over, knocked me unconscious, I, I just woke up......"
"Monsters?" The master frowned, and then said to the owner who lost the sheep: "Okay, thank you, big brother." After saying that, the master turned around and left.
Subsequently, the grandfather went into the forest, looked for the mark, and after looking for a while, he really found the mark left by Xiao Chujiu on a bamboo, and then, the master followed the mark, looking all the way, and walked through the grass nest before the white bear, and the grass nest went downhill, and it was a downhill road, and it was not far along the road, there was a mountain col, and the mark stopped here on the mountain pass, but I didn't see Xiao Chujiu and a few of them......
