Chapter Seventy-Four: On the Lincheng Road,
Bang Bang –
In the early morning of the next day, the autumn rain and stars dropped, but it gradually continued for a long time.
With a cool breeze, the weather is getting colder and colder.
"Driving~"
And on the forest mountain road near the wind cottage.
A man who didn't know where to go to the cottage, when he was riding a horse in the rain, when he passed by the foot of the wind cottage, he saw the light red blood on the mountain road, mixed with rainwater flowing from nearby into a few thumb-wide small streams, but suddenly stopped the horse, and was surprised in the rain.
"What's going on? Did the people of the Wind Cottage make a big deal and bleed a caravan's people? ”
He was puzzled, glanced at the Fengshanzhai Valley about a hundred meters away, and prepared to go over to take a look and listen to the wind.
This is also the fact that they are both people on Linshan Road, plus the relationship between the two cottages is good, not so stiff, so they should go over to take shelter from the rain, give some copper yuan, and mix a sip of hot soup to drive away the cold.
These are all people on the road, and they will basically help if they reach out.
Not to mention that in the man's mind, the peers of Fengshanzhai seem to have made a big deal, maybe they are happy in their hearts, and when they see themselves, they will also see the face of their helper, and give themselves a little bit of money.
It's just that the man thought like this, and when he rode his horse to the entrance of the cottage with a smile, saw the blood on the ground becoming more and more red, and saw that there was no one at the door, the smile slowly stopped.
Especially when he glanced at the cottage, when he saw the corpses everywhere, the dirt road was muddy, blood and rain mixed together, this expression was already like seeing a ghost! ,
"The people of this wind cottage .. It wasn't the caravan that was robbed, but the entire stockade was robbed! ”
His eyes widened as he looked at the corpses strewn across the valley, and when he exclaimed, he suddenly dropped his horse and turned around and walked towards his own village, ready to tell his owner what had happened here.
After all, Fengshanzhai is a big village in the east of Lincheng, and nearly more than 100 people died in this night, who knows if it was a ghost, or which warlord came to clear their bandits?
Either way, it's a big deal!
I must tell the right person who can make up my mind first!
And as time passed, the autumn rain fell as usual.
But with the sound of horses' hooves outside the valley, thirty or forty men in robes rode into the valley.
Especially the prime man in front of everyone, as the owner of these mountain bandits, he is also a person who has seen the world.
When he walked to the corpses, not only was he not afraid, but he turned over, fell from his horse, stood beside the corpses, rubbed his nose, as if to dispel some of the dirt and blood in the air and rain, and then said to the silent mountain bandits behind him.
"Lao Wu didn't lie to Lao Tzu, he was right, the people in this wind cottage are really dead.."
The prime man said, glanced at the corpse of the second gang leader not far away, and then glanced at the five blood characters on the nearby wall, although the rain fell today, making the wall soaked by rain, but you can still see the five blood-red characters of 'Murderer Jiang Cang'!
"Is it Jiang Cang who was passed on two days ago?" Seeing the scene, the prime man rubbed his nose again, "There's nothing to say. Lao Tzu was fine, but after seeing this scene, he panicked... This is obviously done by Jiang Cang, who has a grudge against Lin Bei! It is estimated that he slaughtered the village alone! ”
When the prime man said this, he looked at the many silent subordinates behind him, "Hey, what the are you stunned about?" I'm panicking, you're stupid too? Don't stand still, get inside and take shelter from the rain. Go and call all the friends in Lin Cheng again, let them take a look, and tell me what is going on! Lao Tzu is bold, if the family wants to feed, it can't be managed! ”
"Yes.." The dozen or so mountain bandits in the back reacted, responded with a word, and reflexively went out of the valley again, ready to notify the rest of the people, and more importantly, inform Lin Beishou!
And as everyone went to inform.
The prime man in the valley not only rested and sheltered from the rain, but also ordered someone to collect the gold and silver in the village into a box and put it in the meeting hall of the Fengshan Village.
As time passed, the autumn rain became heavier.
A lot of village owners, chambers of commerce, and martial arts people who got the news came over.
They all looked at the corpses outside the courtyard first, and then looked at the blood words on the wall, and they all came to the hall in surprise or sorrow, and they chilled each other with the prime of life, talking about all kinds of things in this wind cottage, but no one mentioned Jiang Cang's affairs.
In the end, it was still the prime of life who saw that this endless chatting was nothing, and saw that Lin Beishou hadn't come for a long time, so he pointed to a large box of silk silk in the hall.
"Don't say anything else. Friends and grandfathers, take a look, who will take over the matter of Fengshanzhai and ask for an explanation for their village owner? ”
When the words of the prime man fell, everyone was silent for a while, and no one spoke.
In other words, when they saw the corpse in the valley, they didn't want to provoke Jiang Cang's affairs, let alone step into this muddy water, so as not to have to confiscate their own village owner and involve a group of brothers.
As a big brother, they will be poked in the backbone if they do ghosts.
So, everyone walked on the road, and people were also sharp, and when they saw that they couldn't pick it up, and people had come, they left one after another.
There was a box of silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, and ocean silver dollars in the hall, but no one went to take one.
And as everyone left, one of the subordinates in the prime of life saw that no one took it, and felt that it was a pity to put this jewelry here, so he said to the prime man: "Xiye.. What do you mean: If you don't take this wind cottage thing, we don't care about it? ”
"Are you stupid?" Xi Ye scolded him, pointed to the corpses all over the house and said, "Can the take care of this?" Can you think about it with your head? Anyway, do you still have a head to spend money? No! It's Lao Tzu who said it wrong, if you can think of this with your thoughts, sooner or later you will lose your head! ”
"I.." The subordinates don't say anything.
But Xi Ye spat at Xingzi and sprayed him in the face, and then said: "If your sister hadn't been with me for ten years and gave birth to three fat boys, with a brain like yours, she would have given you a bite of wowo rice in the cottage, and it would have been for nothing!" ”
"Why is Xiye so angry?"
Also when Xiye was training people, with a burst of weapons 'sonorous', footsteps approached from outside the door.
Lin Beishou came to the hall with more than a dozen boxers.
And when the West Master saw Lin Beishou coming, he hugged his fists, turned his head and left without saying a word, it was clear that now that there was a 'bigger master' coming, and this matter on Lin Shan Road was not under his own control!
Whoever loves will follow, and who will go.
At the same time, Lin Beishou saw that Xi Ye was gone, and he didn't say anything, but returned the salute to Xi Ye's back, and then said to the disciples who were taking off their robes around him,
"The things in the valley, the corpses everywhere. I saw it for the teacher, and you also saw it. ”
Lin Beishou said, pointing to several corpses outside the house, "According to the depth of the wound and the traces, that Master Jiang should be good at using weapons and double knives, one of which is long and one is short, and one blow is fatal." But now as a teacher, I don't know where he studied, what kind of knife technique he is, and why he is so ruthless. ”
"Master.." Several boxers clasped their fists and wanted to say something.
But one of the middle-aged boxers in a long robe, as if he knew what his junior disciples were going to say, raised his hand to interrupt their words, and then looked at the corpses in the rain outside the house, and then continued to Lin Bei's hand,
"Master, are we still looking for him? The disciple was afraid that Master Jiang would be irritable and unruly. I am even more afraid that the junior and younger brothers are not skilled in martial arts, and when they find that Master Jiang, they will be invited by their lives, but they will come back without their lives. ”
"Being a teacher also means that." Lin Beishou nodded, "I think that according to the teacher, among you, there are only three of you who can be compared with this person. But among them, you are the only one who is good at weapons, and you can ask that Master Jiang for a lesson or two. And your two brothers are good at fist and foot kung fu, although they are strong and strong, but they encounter weapons... Alas.."
"Master." The boxer in the long shirt clenched his fists, looked at Lin Beishou who sighed, and said, "What do you mean? Let's not look for it? ”
"Seeking." Lin Bei's hand straightened his expression, "But it's not like before to find it separately." Let your brothers and sisters bring their men, and let the disciples and grandchildren sit in the martial arts halls in the city first. And in case that Master Jiang comes to kick the hall, he can be stable and steady, and send someone to inform him as a teacher. ”
"Yes, Master!" The long-robed boxer bowed and looked at a box of ayara in the room, "Then this thing, what should the disciples do, is..."
"Scatter it to the nearby villagers." Lin Bei walked towards the rain outside the house under the umbrella of the disciple next to him, "Let's take over the matter of Fengshanzhai." They are buried today. But let the ill-gotten gains be scattered. ”
"Yes.." Several boxers hugged their fists, and when they saw their master walking away, they asked their disciples to lift the wooden box and finish everything today according to their master's wishes.
And the next few days.
Jiang Cang's blood left his name, and the matter of one person slaughtering the village also spread throughout Lin City, and then spread to nearby cities.
It's just that Jiang Cang, who was 'bold' in their mouths, has now been replaced by a hero who eliminates harm for the people and deserves his kung fu!
For a while, the entire Lin City was also lively, and the streets and alleys, outside the courtyard of the house, were all discussing the matter of Jiang Cang's slaughter of the village.
But in an inn in Lincheng.
Jiang Cang sat by the window on the second floor and ate food, looking at the drizzle outside the window, listening to the people discussing himself in the inn, but drinking leisurely,
I didn't think that it was dangerous for me to stay in Lin City.
On the contrary, Jiang Cang has been waiting for his injury to heal, so he will find it without Lin Bei's hands.
Like a line of wind cottages,
I'll get things straight.
One by one.
