Chapter 252: Horse Bandit Zhang Mazi
When he got up in the morning, Zhang Peng ate two steamed buns, and sure enough, he had the strength, so he didn't say a word when he bared his teeth, and the captain ate breakfast, and finally nodded and praised: "Although the strength is not big, the backbone is still a little." ”
We don't just have backbone, we all put life and death out of the way, okay?
When I finished my work and drank water, I asked the snobbish boss by the way. "That old woman was weird last night!"
"What old woman?" He didn't even raise his head and dialed the abacus.
"The one who carried the rattan basket on his back and covered the veil." I reminded that when I thought of the veil, I remembered that Liu Ling covered his face when he rescued me, but there was a strange smell on this old woman, and it couldn't be Liu Ling at all.
The boss stopped what he was doing, glared at me, and suddenly yelled, "What the hell are you? Get out of here, don't get in the way of my business. ”
What the hell?
"What are you doing?" Zhang Peng asked.
"Last night an old woman came in, and I smelled curry."
"Curry? You were crazy hungry yesterday. ”
Everyone packed some dry food and water, and then set off, I don't know how far it is from Chengdu, but the speed of this horse team, it is estimated that it will take a month, almost the speed of walking! It's just riding a horse, so it's easier for people, except for the captain who has a shell gun, the others only have a long hidden knife, these days, can't they ban guns? I hung the black knife on the horse, and it was much easier.
The world is vast, the blue sky and white clouds, I feel that I am standing on the hillside in the distance, I can touch the sky with my hand, it is still bright, the realm of eternal night is not a place for people, no wonder those who are buried in the land of extreme yin, the greatest hope is to bask in the sun.
Looking back, I can still see the Yufeng Snow Mountain, but I can't see the Jade Buddha through the sky, I hope I don't come back, and I take Ling'er away and fly away.
The captain calculates the time, such as how long it takes to walk before there is a place to sleep. When I first came here, it was deserted, but at least it was an asphalt road, and now this dirt road can only be ridden by horseback. I kept looking back to see if the old woman with the rattan basket had caught up last night, and I always felt that she was very weird.
"Big brother, what's your surname?" Zhang Peng went up to set almost.
"Kong Wu!"
"Boss Kong, we have the same surname, my name is Zhang Peng, how long will it take for you to get to Chengdu?" Zhang Peng asked
"The road went well, 28 days, if it didn't go well, I don't know."
"Oh, hopefully the weather is good."
"What's the use of good weather, it doesn't have to happen, we have to go back with this batch of goods, there are many bandits in the business of thousands of oceans."
"Do you mainly sell tea or sheepskin?"
"Our Kangding Tea House branch is all over the country, mainly tea, and the frontier trade is only part of the business, this fur business is mainly brought back by the way, so that the brothers can get more oil and water, and our young lady likes fur."
After Captain Kong finished speaking, he took out a lighter and lit a pipe, but found that it couldn't catch fire, and he scraped for a long time, and he was a little annoyed. glared at Zhang Peng and shouted, "What did you kid give me?" It was only one night and it went bad, how could Western goods be so inextricably linked. ”
Seeing that Zhang Peng's sycophants had been lost, I hurriedly rode over and took it over to take a look, "Big brother, this flint is gone, did you use it too many times last night." ”
Captain Kong glared at the fat man and yelled, "How long did you play last night?" ”
"Poor...... It's been about three hours! The fat man was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out.
"Buckle three oceans."
The fat man nodded hurriedly, not daring to resist. According to the price here, a piece of ocean is equivalent to at least forty yuan, and this lighter is expensive enough.
At this time, on the river in the distance, a group of men and horses galloped over, as if brandishing a large knife.
"Big brother, horse bandit!" The fat man said.
"Let's go!"
Then the horse team accelerated forward, this is a no-man's land, where are the horse bandits, they won't be so unlucky! I don't know how to ride a horse, but I don't let me lead it, just sit on it and hold on.
"Oh...... Oh......" The sound of the horse bandit is getting closer and closer, where is the speed of the horse team running fast, not only the goods, but the horses carrying the goods are also connected with ropes.
There were almost ten people in the horse team plus Kong Wu, and there seemed to be twenty or thirty people in the horse bandits. Everyone pulled out the Changzang knife one after another, and Kong Wu also loaded the magazine into the shell gun, do you have to work hard to make a logistics business?
"Let's take the opportunity to run later!" Zhang Peng said softly.
"Do you know how to ride a horse?"
"Nonsense, Nasha taught me."
"I won't!" I said.
"Later, you sit on my side."
Saying that those horse bandits have surrounded us, the leader of the horse bandits is carrying a big knife on his back, holding a rifle, his face is pitted, he looks rough and savage, and he still has a braid, has he not returned to his senses in the Qing Dynasty?
"Captain Kong, long time no see!" He laughed.
"Zhang Mazi, you turtle son, scared me to death, I thought there was a change here, why are you chasing me?" Kong Wu said.
"Go to my house and sit down!" Zhang Mazi said.
"There's nothing to sit on, I'm tired of this trip, I have to rush to the front to stay in the hotel."
"No, I have to go." Although Zhang Mazi had a smile on his face, his tone could not be refused.
"What's wrong? Last time you took your wife to Chengdu to play, our shopkeeper signed an agreement with you, didn't you give enough money? Or do you regret it? Kong Wu reproached.
"It's really an accident, my wife is seriously ill, the wizard said, I must stop the passing horse team here and now, just happened to run into you, I can't help it."
These words made Kong Wu a little confused, "Why are you intercepting us?" What does your wife's illness have to do with us? ”
"I don't know, well, you're going to come with us."
Zhang Peng glanced at me, he had secretly cut the attached horse rope, I nodded, I can't follow these bandits, I am from a civilized society, I have never seen bandits, this kind of lawless place, nothing can be done.
Seeing that Kong Wu didn't react, Zhang Mazi pulled the bolt of the rifle and said, "Team Kong, don't force me to get angry!" ”
Kong Wu nodded, and could only follow. Zhang Peng suddenly cut the rope that tied the goods, and I jumped on his horse, and he slapped the horse's buttocks with his sword, and with a roar, he ran out for a long time.
"Boom!" A shot rang out, and the horse's head was hit, and the man and the horse were planted on the ground. I slammed my nose on the back of Zhang Peng's head, and blood flowed. Before we could get up, a few bandits rushed over and tied us up.
Kong Wu looked at us with some puzzlement, looking very unhappy, this is over, he offended people, and he couldn't afford to pay for killing one of his horses.
"Team Kong, your people are very unrighteous!" Zhang Mazi said, glaring at us fiercely.
"They're not my people! Hired casual workers. Team Kong replied.
"Temporary workers? Okay, okay, that's a good excuse, no wonder I'm so scared to see me, kill them later, don't protect the calves. ”
"Kill as you like!" Kong Wu said.
Then we were tied to the horse, and the swords were taken away, fortunately, Zhang Mazi, a rough man, didn't know how awesome Zhang Peng's Tai'a Sword was, even in this era, it was enough for him to eat and drink for a lifetime.
I said angrily: "You really steal chickens and rice, and you don't eat and drink for toast." ”
"Who knows if he really shoots and can still hit, aren't you afraid of bandits?"
I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with him, it's really over, he won't really kill us! We still haven't gotten used to the rhythm here, these guys are so savage, I'm so big, the first time I saw bandits, I used to see them on TV, I hope it's not a murderous bandit, but a thief, and finally let us go.
"Robbing a passing horse team here and now? How can there be such a way to save people in the world, it is either an excuse or a ghost. Zhang Peng muttered.
"Don't you know these names? I'll fool around later. ”
Zhang Peng nodded and said, "That's for sure, don't worry, the more backward and barbaric, the more you believe in ghosts and gods, we will be fine." ”
An hour later, we arrived at a small village, the houses here are similar to the fairy tale village, they are all low mud houses, it seems that there is no food left over when you are a bandit!
Zhang Mazi's home is halfway up the mountain, it seems to be quite generous, at least very big, walk into the yard to see, only to know that you live in a cave, but it is much stronger than those villagers' homes, there are a few fashionable women's clothes hanging at the door, the colors are bright, the style is at least worn by people in the city, after all, the painting style is different.
It seems that Zhang Mazi's wife is not very old, and sure enough, in this year, appearance is not important, strength is the last word.
