Chapter 64: The Young Farmer (2)
"Little brother, excuse me to drink water, thank you."
Without waiting for the young farmer to respond, Jiang Tong had already picked up the big scoop in the bucket, scooped up the water and poured it down.
The young farmer was shirtless, with black tendons and flesh, and his back was covered with fine beads of sweat, he looked like he had just rested for a short time, his facial features were quite upright, and his big nose and big eyes looked quite honest, Jiang Tong took it for granted that he would not refuse his small request to borrow some water to drink, but unexpectedly, this young man suddenly went berserk, snatched the wooden scoop, and said angrily: "This is for everyone to drink!" ”
What a temper, but I've already drunk it, hehe, Jiang Tong laughed secretly in his heart.
"Stones! Here we are! ”
Not far away, there was a loud shout of anger, seven or eight bare-chested teenagers running from the other end of the ridge with hoes, Jiang Tong was a little confused, looking at the group of teenagers and speculating what they wanted, the collar had been picked up by the farmer in front of him called "stone". The stone stood up and lifted the slender bandage-faced girl to the air with her feet in the air, of course Jiang Tong would not be afraid of this kid, let alone seven or eight of them, even seventy or eighty may not be her opponents, but Jiang Tong is also dozens of years old, and she doesn't want to worry about this wave of little boys, she just hung in the air, looked at the group of teenagers who came to surround her, and said with a smile: "A sip of water, as for it......"
A young man who looked a little older, estimated to be more than twenty years old, pointed at Jiang Tong and said angrily: "Bandits, you're here to make trouble again!?" ”
Bandits? What the heck? Jiang Tong coughed lightly twice and said, "Little brothers, I have something to say, the little girl is just a poor person who has been burned since she was a child, not a bandit......"
The older boy snorted, "I still want to deny it, is your boss a pig brain?" Send a little girl like you to collect money, idiot! ”
What money to collect? Jiang Tong was even more puzzled, and said, "I really don't know what you're talking about, I'm just passing by, and I'm too thirsty......"
A boy wearing a yellow turban asked, "Aren't you from the White Face Gang?" ”
Jiang Tong was stunned, "What white-faced gang?" Boiled noodles in plain water??? ”
The only shirtless young man in the audience who wore a white vest said, "Stone, put her down, she shouldn't be from the White Face Gang." ”
The stone finally let go of Jiang Tong, and Jiang Tong could see from the suddenly relaxed expression on his face that he was also tired to death, so he insisted on not putting himself down because of the sake of face.
"Boys, don't be so grumpy......"
The "white vest" didn't look very old, but it seemed to have more brains and whiter than other crop boys, and he arched his hand to Jiang Tong without being salty, "I was offended." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Tong returned the salute and couldn't help asking, "Little brothers, what kind of money do you just said about bandits?" White flour or something? What is it? ”
The white vest said: "This is a long story. He looked at the older boy, and Jiang Tong understood that the eldest boy was the leader of the gang.
"Toutou" glanced at the "yellow turban" beside him and said, "You can talk about it." ”
Then, the farmer and Jiang Tong gathered together in the shade of the big tree, and the "yellow turban" cleared his throat and told the story of the incident.
This village is called Weeping Girl Village, it is a very ancient village, the name comes from a big mountain not far away, the mountain is called Meng Ji Mountain, it is said that because the mountain looks at a silhouette of a woman kneeling and crying from a distance, legend has it that this woman's surname is Meng, and everyone calls her Meng Ji. Some time ago, a group of bandits came out of nowhere, claiming to be the White-Faced Gang, all the members had a white face and only a pair of eyes exposed, which was quite similar to Jiang Tong's current appearance.
These white-faced bandits also have a total of fifty or sixty people, and they are still an armed organization, and they actually use the strange slogan of "avenging Meng Ji" to forcibly occupy the houses and fields of many villagers, and also collect protection money everywhere, and act as a proper hooligan. But because they were so well armed, they only caused trouble in the village of Weeping Women, and it was useless to report to the officials, so the villagers spontaneously organized young men to resist. But where are the young peasants who are armed bandits, when they encounter bandit minions who act alone, they will rush up together to fight, and when they encounter a large number of white-faced bandits gathering to cause trouble, they can only hide away, and when they see Jiang Tong today, they think that they have encountered a lone white-faced bandit.
"That's!" Jiang Tong slapped his palm on the ground, "What slogans are they coming from?" 'Avenge Meng Ji'? Can it be a little more bloody? What is Meng Ji? It's just a legend! These guys, they don't even bother to use their brains to make excuses, it's just ......"
"Not really!" Shi gritted his teeth and said: "In these years, even bandits have to shout slogans for robbery, a bunch of brutes!" ”
"Let's hurry up and practice martial arts, one day we will drive them away!"
"Or let's scrape together some money to take care of some officials, don't they have government soldiers......"
"Cut, what are those moths going to do with us? I'm afraid that the White Noodles Gang has already stuffed the silver into them! ”
Jiang Tong heard this, and couldn't help but propose: "The official family doesn't care, so you haven't considered asking someone from the Immortal Sect to take care of it?" ”
The white vest said: "Immortal masters don't care about this kind of man-made disaster, they are just bandits, but they are not inhuman demons and monsters, and besides, the strength of our Nanzhou Rushing Gate is not as good as before, I heard the elders in the village say that the head of the moon is now busy strengthening the strength of the Rushing Gate, and he doesn't care about the common people at all." ”
Jiang Tong thought for a moment and said tentatively, "What about the blue sky mirror?" ”
The yellow turban interjected: "Don't mention it, my father and a few uncles set off to Dongzhou Tianji Mountain for help three months ago, and they haven't come back yet, hey...... I don't know if there was an accident......"
Next, a few teenagers, you and I, scolded the bandits for the eighteen generations of their ancestors, and finally said goodbye to Jiang Tong and went back to their respective homes.
Jiang Tong continued on the road, and he was depressed in his heart, thinking that he could go to other towns to get a horse to ride soon, according to what the teenagers just said, after a barren road outside this Weeping Girl Village is Meng Ji Mountain, so when will it take to cross Meng Ji Mountain and find the town? I'm afraid I'm going to break my legs......
She walked for a while, passing by a small river, and the upper part of the body of a buffalo was exposed on the surface of the water near the river, and the buffalo was still chewing on the skin of the mouth, as if it was eating blades of grass, Jiang Tong thought to himself, just ride the bull.
She went down the river and climbed on the back of the cow, and the buffalo had a good temper and did not react at all, but unfortunately it only cared about chewing its mouth, and did not move its four legs. Jiang Tong had no choice but to let out a little baby and let it grab two of them behind the cow's buttocks, and the buffalo thought that there was some enemy attack in the rear, bleated, and quickly ran to the river bank. According to Jiang Tong's command to blow the fishy tree sap gas, the young baby imp grabbed on the left side of the buffalo for a while, and jumped to the right to scratch for a while, and the buffalo reflexively dodged the attack, so it catered to the running direction that Jiang Tong requested. The cow's hooves were fast, and they arrived at Meng Ji Mountain in less than two hours!
The scene at the foot of Mengji Mountain was unexpected by Jiang Tong, who gathered all kinds of monks and immortal masters, and she hurriedly took back the young baby, got off the back of the cow and led the cow away, and followed the flow of people into a tea shop. This tea shop is quite large, but the hardware is quite simple, and many people are sitting outside, with a large grass shed overhead.
Jiang Tong sat down at the edge of the hut, and the owner of the tea shop did not allow the buffalo to enter, so she had to tie the cow to a thick trunk outside. Jiang Tong had no money, so he only dared to ask for a bowl of tea, and there were some small dishes on the table of monks next to him, but none of them moved their chopsticks, and their expressions were very irritable, as if they were complaining about something, Jiang Tong listened carefully.
“...... So, isn't there a fuss? It's just a group of mortals robbing homes, is it necessary to gather everyone here? ”
"The head of the moon is the first wise man in the vast Shenzhou, his judgment will never be wrong, I think this white-faced gang is not simple, maybe there is something particularly powerful mixed in it!"
"What the first wise man, that month peach is really getting more and more excessive year by year, as soon as Nanzhou encounters trouble, he will call others to solve it, and he used to only push the mess to the blue sky mirror, but now it's good, the big sect of sesame and the monks who are a little famous have been notified by him, you can't do it if you don't come, and other colleagues who are called to laugh at you, it's really... Ay! ”
"Seriously, I really admire the blue sky mirror, I send people every time, especially that blue sky young master Allure, I heard that he is not a disciple of the blue sky for a long time, but he is still willing to help like this, what the hell is the picture? It's a wonder. ”
"Don't say that, Allure Jun, he is not a disciple of Bikong in name, but in fact, who in Bikong Gate disobeys him? Now the head of the blue sky, Hong Zhihong, is the most important person is this junior brother. ”
"I heard that Qingwu passed on the position of head to the Allure Immortal Master, but this one is a dead brain, he just kept some rules, insisted that he was no longer a disciple of the blue sky, and gave way to his senior brother Hong Zhi. Do you think he has something wrong with his brain? Even Seigo forgave him for letting him wear the scabbard crown again, but he just wouldn't. ”
"Hey, I heard that this incident was all harmed by the young baby of the river, and the red face is ruined......"
"Bah, why are you okay with that? Bad luck! ”
Hearing this, Jiang Tong helped his forehead, touched the bandage on his face, and suddenly felt that this bandage was really a good thing, but as soon as she thought so, the bandage brought her trouble, and one of the monks at the table next to her found that this bandage face seemed to look over from time to time, and suddenly became alert, and suddenly got up and turned to Jiang Tong, "Are you a member of the White Face Gang?!" ”
