Text Chapter 202: Ups and Downs 5
Weiman: "Ah! She sat up with a scream, staring fearfully at the men surrounding her.
"Tsk!" The young man closest to Weiman with the torch was frightened by Weiman's reaction and shrank back.
Probably realizing that he had overreacted, the young man who looked less than twenty years old touched the back of his head in embarrassment, turned his head and showed a mouthful of white teeth to the three men behind him who were also looking at Wei Man, pointed to Wei Man who buried his face in his knees, and only showed a pair of bright eyes staring at a few people, and said: "I'll just say that this is a little lady, you see, this little lady's eyes are quite attractive." ”
Wei Man's clothes were so dirty that she couldn't see the original color and style, and her head was covered with dead leaves and dirt, and in the dark night, she was so black that she shrunk into a small ball, almost blending with the ground, and it was no wonder that several people couldn't tell that she was a girl.
A man holding a bang in his right hand, constantly beating his left palm rhythmically, with ruffian movements, and a strange face with the restrained aura of a scholar, glanced at Wei Man who was trembling coldly, and commented to the oldest man standing on his chest on the side: "There is no oil and water." ”
Standing on the other side of the rugged man who looked like a big brother, the thick-eyed and broad-faced man with a long knife on the ground in his hand had already lost interest in Wei Man, he raised his eyes to look at the sky, and said, "It's not early, go back quickly, I'm hungry." ”
The thirty-year-old brother wiped the messy hair on his forehead with a wide palm, and said in a rough voice: "Let's go, go back." ”
With that, the three men standing together all turned to leave, and only the young man with the torch looked at Wei Man, and then at the backs of the three men, with a look of wanting to say nothing on his face.
The twenty-something man with the stick turned around, frowned and shouted to the young man who was still standing beside Wei Man, "Stone! What to do? Let's go! ”
"Brother Guangping......" The young man who was called a stone, Nuo Nuo, called the angry man, but his eyes were on the oldest man, and said: "Brother Big Tiger, let's leave like this, this, this little lady ......"
These four people were originally villagers in a village called Gaojia Village, less than 100 miles away from Beijing, because they have lived in the same village for generations, and the relationship between these four people is all related to each other, so all four of them are called brothers.
Shi is only sixteen years old this year, the youngest of the four, and the one with the least contact with the outside world, after all, he is young and kind-hearted, and he always feels a little unbearable to let a girl die on her own in this wilderness.
The tall tiger's lips pursed, and he couldn't help but pull an old scar from the cheekbone on his face to his ear, and his face looked particularly terrifying against the backdrop of the firelight.
Stone shrank in fear.
At this time, the man with the knife, who had walked nearly two feet away, turned around and shouted impatiently: "Stone, what are you rubbing!" Don't keep up yet! ”
"Hey! Here, Brother Erliang, this is coming......" Shi obviously had accepted the reality, he didn't say much, glanced at Wei Man again, turned around and hurried after him.
"Slow!" Just as the stone passed by Gao Guangping's side, Gao Guangping, who was staring directly at Wei Man's back, suddenly grabbed the stone, he grabbed the torch, and took a few steps behind Wei Man in the puzzled eyes of everyone......
Wei Man also turned around in a panic, only to see that only two steps away from her was lying unconscious.
At this time, Gao Guangping was holding a jade pendant that had just been pulled from Yue Yan's waist and looked carefully at the firelight.
Seeing this, several other people also turned around and surrounded them.
"Brother Guangping, what's wrong?" The stone squatted beside Gao Guangping, he approached the jade pendant to distinguish it, and after looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but smash his mouth and said: "This jade pendant looks like a good thing that only exists in the official master's house...... Tut-tut, Brother Guangping, you said, if we take this jade pendant to the pawnshop, it should be able to be a lot of money......"
Because the current few people are short of money, so, after seeing this jade pendant that is not like an ordinary product, Shi Shi did not think of the identity of the owner of this jade pendant, but the first thing he considered was how much silver he could get by using this jade pendant as a gem.
The other people listened to the stone's words, and their eyes lit up.
Isn't that what they are most concerned about at this time?
Gao Erliang stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant, and looked at it seriously with Gao Dahu, the more he looked, the brighter the eyes of the two became.
"It's really a good thing!" Gao Erliang said happily: "Brother Big Tiger, after becoming this jade pendant, maybe our silver will be enough......"
A smile also appeared on Gao Dahu's face, and he sighed lightly: "It's a valuable object!" ”
"Guangping," Gao Erliang said while rubbing the jade pendant, "You have a lot of knowledge, tell me quickly, what is the price of this jade pendant...... Otherwise, we'll go into the city early tomorrow morning and go to the pawnshop...... Inquire a few more, so as not to be deceived by the pawnshop......"
Gao Erliangichi was happy and couldn't help but talk more.
Gao Guangping just smiled, but didn't say anything, just like Gao Erliang said, he is indeed the one with the most "knowledge" among several people, not only because he is the son of the village chief, but also because he is the only famous scholar in Gaojia Village, so he naturally thinks a little more than the other three people who are very happy at the moment...... Just now, he just accidentally saw a soft light flash in the dark, and when his hand touched the jade pendant, the smooth feel made him understand that the jade pendant in his hand was by no means ordinary...... Although, with his limited knowledge, he couldn't tell how much silver this jade pendant was worth, but ...... Gao Guangping looked at the man lying silently at his feet, and said in his heart, I am afraid that this man's identity has some origins......
"Now it's good!" Shi excitedly circled around the jade pendant, and said in his mouth: "When we become a jade pendant, we can go home, hurry up, let's go to the city gate to guard now, open the city gate and go into the city to find a pawnshop......"
Just when the Gao family was circling around the jade pendant, Wei Man first secretly wiped his face with his smudged sleeves a few times, and then said resignedly: "A few big brothers, please, please ask a few big brothers to save their lives......"
A few people with their own thoughts were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that there was a Wei Man on the side.
"My brother and I were going to visit relatives in the capital, but we didn't expect to meet robbers on the way," Wei Man couldn't help but hide his face and cry a few times, and continued: "Not only did they rob all the money, but they also killed my maid...... My brother protected me and managed to escape......"
"What kind of robber is this, so ferocious!" Shi Shi's face changed first, and he scolded angrily: "Even if you rob money, why do you want to kill people's lives? It's more vicious than a tiger wolf......"
"Stone!" Gao Guangping glared at the noisy stone.
Stone shut his mouth stupidly.
Wei Man wiped away his tears, looked at Gao Guangping with big and bright eyes, and sobbed: "That gang of thieves may still be looking for us, not necessarily, ask a few big brothers to save us, as long as a few big brothers are willing to help, my father will definitely thank you again, really, I am my father's only daughter, my father will give you as much silver as you want......"
When the four Gao brothers heard the silver, their eyes changed.
Seeing this, Wei Man hurriedly took off the bracelet on his wrist, raised his hands high, and said cautiously: "This is the bracelet left to me by my mother, it is the ancestral heirloom of my maternal grandfather......
Gao Erliang suspiciously took Weiman's bracelet, looked at it, and handed it to Gao Guangping.
Gao Guangping looked at the bracelet twice, and nodded to Gao Dahu and Gao Erliang.
At this moment, Gao Dahu suddenly looked sharply into the depths of the forest, he raised his hand to stop several other people from talking, and listened to the movement in the distance for a moment, he suddenly turned around and quickly extinguished the torch.
"Big Tiger?" Shi Shi was a little frightened and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"Someone looks like it." Gao Dahu whispered to a few people.
Wei Man's palms were sweating, and he hurriedly said: "Ask a few big brothers to save our lives, you can ask for as much silver as you want......
In the darkness, Gao Dahu's brows furrowed, he stepped forward in two big steps, and a hand knife slashed at the side of Wei Man's neck, and then Wei Man fell to the ground softly.
"Brother Big Tiger, this ......" Shi glared at the tall tiger in surprise.
Gao Dahu grabbed Wei Man's back shirt and grabbed Wei Man like a chicken, he glanced at Gao Guangping and Gao Erliang, who were still looking at him in confusion, and urged: "What are you doing in a daze, quickly lift the man behind you to the car." ”
……
Zhenguo Houfu, Lingyuan Pavilion.
Wei Yan was pacing back and forth in the brightly lit room.
The great prejudice Wei Yan standing under the "Young Master ......" was really worried, so he said tentatively: "Or, the slave will go and let Brother Jiang think of a way again...... Always go out of the city and go to the Sogo Temple to explore...... The slave didn't believe that the third lady and her party could disappear out of thin air......"
Wei Yan finally stopped pacing, he looked at the lanterns swaying from side to side under the porch outside the window for a long time, sighed lightly, and said, "Wen En is cautious, since he said that the city gate is under martial law and can't get out, it must be that he really has no choice......"
Brother Jiang in Dacheng's mouth, Wen En in Wei Yan's mouth, are Jiang Wenen, Aunt Jiang's nephew, he has been an errand boy by Wei Yan's side since he was a child, because he is Wei Yan's relative and a smart and capable person, so, after Wei Yan entered the camp in the eastern suburbs, he was also taken off slavery by Shi En and entered the military camp, so many years, he is already the most powerful person around Wei Yan.
Wei Yan still understands Jiang Wenen's ability, so he is even more worried about Wei Man's situation at the moment.
Before leaving, Wei Man had instructed Wei Yan, saying that she was going to live in the Sogo Temple for a few days, and that if there were bad rumors about her outside during this period, Wei Yan would not have to take it seriously, and said that she would keep in touch with Lingyuan Pavilion all the time...... Although Wei Man did not explain what she was planning, and she looked confident, the more Wei Yan thought about it after Wei Man left, the more worried she became......
Wei Yan was not at ease in the end, so he sent Jiang Wenen to chase after him to protect Wei Man, but he didn't think that Jiang Wenen returned home in the evening, but told Wei Yan that the Sogo Temple of Wei Yan did not take the frame of the third lady of the Zhenguo Marquis' Mansion, and he did not find any trace of the carriage of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion along the way......
