Chapter 94: Riverside Fishing Village
Care......
Xiao Mohan also arrived at the place of life and death this time, and only then did he understand what his concern was.
He had never been afraid of anything before, and always felt that even the horse leather shroud was worthy of death, this time, although the group of people he met was strong in martial arts, it was not the most difficult, but he had a stronger desire to survive than before when he was fleeing, and what had been flashing in his mind was a promise to a person, and there has always been a voice in his head saying: You have so many promises that have not been fulfilled, you can't die.
That's how he survived, as always. It's just that when he woke up covered in blood and broke his leg, he didn't have a reason to be afraid, blaming himself for being too reckless, and he shouldn't fight with those people anymore, he was more afraid that he would accidentally die than kill the enemy.
She should know the news of his disappearance now, Mu Tianyue is afraid that she can't hide it from her if she wants to.
But what will she do when she finds out she is missing?
Xiao Mohan couldn't find an answer in his heart, on the one hand, he hoped that she would be anxious for himself, but he didn't want her to be anxious, because her temperament was in a hurry, and he didn't know what kind of thing he would do regardless of it.
He was in this mood of expectation and worry every day, and almost half a month later, when his legs were able to walk with help, Xiao Sheng's grandfather felt that Xiao Sheng was also old enough to go out, so he took Xiao Sheng to the town, and Xiao Mohan naturally followed behind them.
The trade along the river has always been very developed, even a small town can see goods from the south to the north, some are with the merchant ships, some are exchanged from the daily dock market, in short, the temple is small, the place is not big, but there should be, therefore, the merchants who come to the town to buy and sell are also endless.
Xiao Mohan hadn't seen so many people for a long time, but he was a little uncomfortable, his brows couldn't help wrinkling together, and he always thought of Qian Qianqian when he saw some women doing small business.
For this reason, he gradually avoided his gaze.
Suddenly, there was a burst of gongs and drums in the center of the market, as if there was something lively to see.
Xiao Sheng's grandfather is arguing with people because of the price of fishing gear, according to Xiao Sheng, every time grandpa will quarrel with someone, although she has not followed, but every time she listens to the people who go back to pass on the grandfather and quarrel with people again, the people who go with him always find it interesting, now Xiao Sheng himself sees the scene of his grandfather quarreling with others but feels really boring, at this time he just happened to meet other places There is a lively, she naturally can not miss it.
"Brother, how about you accompany me to take a look?" She took Xiao Mohan's hand and swayed back and forth.
Xiao Mohan didn't speak, just looked at her grandfather quietly.
Xiao Sheng was clever and saw what he meant at once, so he pulled him to squat, leaned into his ear and said: "It's okay, my grandfather doesn't hear anything outside the window at all now, and he doesn't know what we're doing, let's go quickly, and then go back quickly, he won't find out, okay?" ”
"Dangerous." Xiao Mohan looked at the bustling crowd, he hurt his leg again, in case of some accidents, he might not be able to protect Xiao Sheng, so he hesitated.
But Xiao Sheng waved his hand without fear and said: "In our town for many years, we have never heard of anything dangerous, and even if there is, it is the beasts in the mountains and forests that are more dangerous, often hurting and eating people." She flickered her eyes and stared at Xiao Mohan with anticipation, refusing to move away.
This scene is very similar to when Qian Qianqian begged him, he was in a trance, and couldn't help asking, "Really?" ”
"Naturally!" Xiao Sheng patted his chest and promised, "If you are really not at ease, this is it." She took out a fishing line from the cloth bag, handed it to Xiao Mohan and said, "Use this to tie the two of us together, the fishing line is strong, and the wind and waves in the sea can't be dispersed." ”
Xiao Mohan picked up the fishing line, took a look, and knew that the little girl was a little exaggerated, the fishing line used in the sea was different from the nature in the river, but he couldn't bear to pierce it, "Why do you have to carry this with you?" ”
"Usually, people's cloth bags are filled with herbs or medicines, but our fishermen's bags are filled with fishing lines." Xiao Sheng raised his head, and without waiting for Xiao Mohan to agree, he firmly tied his wrist to his wrist, using the knot when the fisherman knew the net, which was strong and simple.
Xiao Mohan couldn't refuse, so he had to follow Xiao Sheng to join in the fun.
Beating gongs and drums are a few street warriors, who are playing with swords, guns, swords, halberds, turning heels, and breaking big stones. Xiao Sheng had never seen this before, and kept applauding excitedly, but Xiao Mohan was not interested in such a small amount of kung fu, and his eyes kept looking away.
A pen and ink stall successfully attracted his attention, not because of how rare the pen and ink the man sold, but because he did not mainly buy and sell pen and ink, and when he saw the guests, the first thing he asked was, "This guest officer, I have a poem I want you to taste, do you know the meaning?" If you know, this wolf will give it to you. Then he will take out a beautiful brocade box, and Xiao Mohan glanced at the wolf pen inside, it is indeed genuine.
This is rare, although the wolf is not as popular as the wool pen in recent years, it is not everywhere, and anyone can get it. What kind of poem is this, and it deserves such a bloody investment.
If it is said to be a means to expand business, it is not impossible.
The stall did attract a lot of customers because of this, but most of everyone's energy was on interpreting the poem, and few of them came to buy things.
But the vendors who set up their stalls were not sad, and they were quite happy.
Strange, from beginning to end, inside and out.
Xiao Mohan leaned in that direction again, glanced at the verses, and felt a pang in his heart at the moment.
I'm Qian Hui of Qianjia Village......
In addition to Qian Qianqian, who can find people in such a straightforward way, he can't think of a second one.
Xiao Mohan immediately searched around, wanting to see if Qian Qianqian was present, but then she thought that although she would use such verses, she might not necessarily use this method, or that she did not have the strength to let the vendors help her do this regardless of their own business.
Mu Tianyue?
But the Mu family does not have this kind of street vendor business, most of them are shops and restaurants.
So who is helping her, or is it a trap.
Xiao Mohan had a lot of doubts in his heart, so he hesitated, he savored the words in the poem, and read the whole poem again, how it looked like Qian Qianqian's handwriting.
Otherwise, let's try it first.
He thought that he was about to go forward, but for a moment he forgot about the fishing line, and was being restrained by it, and before he could come forward, suddenly several people jumped out from around the ink stall, and at a glance they were not from the town, nor were they in business.
They glared at the group of guests fiercely, and they used their aura to force them all away.
followed them to reflexively take away the poems on the pen and ink stall, and the leader grabbed the boss's collar, Xiao Mohan quickly mobilized his ear power, and vaguely heard the man say: "I warned you many times, don't do this again, what?" Go against our Cao Gang?! ”
Cao Gang? How can there be any such thing as a Jianghu organization?
"I just want to make some extra money, and besides, there will be no such high-ranking people here who can answer, as long as I can last ten days, I will have ten taels of silver to earn. I really didn't know that this would offend the brothers of the Cao Gang, so I withdrew, withdrew. The vendor kept shaking as he spoke.
The leader didn't seem to want to make things difficult for the other party, so he just glared at him fiercely and said, "Don't take it as an example!" And he took his men and left.
At this point, it made Xiao Mohan have more questions.
First, the Cao Gang has a chivalrous reputation in the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible for them to do this for the sake of disregard for people's lives, and judging from their low-key behavior and their behavior of not doing anything to the vendor, this is indeed the case.
But they apparently saw the contents of the poem, but they prevented these people from looking for him, why?
Is it really a trap?
But listening to the small vendor's statement, some people have a lot of money to buy all kinds of vendors and ask them to spread the news, and it is not like the group of people who fought with them would do something.
It seems that there are too many gaps in this that he does not know, and if he does not find the connection, he does not know whether he should tell those people that he knows the content of the poem.
"Brother, brother!" Xiao Sheng shook Xiao Mohan's body, "What are you looking at?" Is it so fascinating, is it interesting? I'm going to see it too! ”
Xiao Mohan used the fishing line to pull Xiao Sheng back to his side, "It's nothing, go back." ”
Xiao Sheng wanted to say something, but after seeing Xiao Mohan's cold face, he said lonely: "Oh." ”
Xiao Mohan looked at her like that and was a little soft-hearted, "Next time." ”
"Really?"
"Hmm." Xiao Sheng stretched out his fingers, "Pull the hook!" ”
Xiao Mohan also stretched out his finger a little awkwardly, and Xiao Sheng smiled, "You don't even know this, you're so stupid!" But he still hooked the other party's finger and stamped it.
Xiao Mohan returned to the small fishing village and asked Xiao Sheng's grandfather to call the doctor, he wanted to know how many days his legs would need to be raised, but Xiao Sheng's grandfather went out on the front foot, and heard a noisy sound at the entrance of the village on the back foot.
"Don't let the family go!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Mohan guarded Xiao Sheng behind him, he got up and listened carefully to the number of people who came, it was initially estimated that there were more than a dozen, looking at the sounds coming from all around, it should be a mountain bandit, not like they were coming at him.
This is not easy to do, if it is aimed at him, he can still maneuver, if it is simply a robbery, it is difficult to reason with these people.
"Brother, come on!" Xiao Sheng didn't know when he left behind Xiao Mohan and walked to the livestock shed, "There's a cellar here, let's hide in it." ”
"Cellar?" He has been here for so long, he never knew that Xiaosheng had a cellar in his house.
"Well, I've been here before, and I'm hiding in it."
That's fine, even if Xiao Mohan wants to save other people in the village, he has more than enough strength at the moment, so it's better to hide and wait for the opportunity.
Thinking about it, he walked over, "You first." ”
Xiao Sheng's face was embarrassed, "I'm a little afraid, brother, can you go down first, and then follow me below?" ”
Xiao Mohan nodded in agreement, as soon as he stepped in with his front foot, he was pushed in by a pair of small hands behind him, and the cellar mouth on his head was sealed, and Xiao Sheng's voice came from outside, "Brother, this cellar can only hold one person, last time, my father and mother kept me like this." Don't be afraid. ”
