Chapter 12: The Death of the Northeast

Li Lintang beat Gaomi County to death with a stick, only to feel that the dry breath that had been blocked in his chest for many days was exhaled, and his heart was much brighter. Speaking of revenge, Li Lintang thought in his heart: first, he wanted to kill the foreign devils at the construction site; The second is to kill Gaomi County. Now that it can be regarded as a big revenge, Li Lintang is naturally happy in his heart.

Leaning down, Li Lintang first ripped off the burden of Gaomi County, and saw two "Big Winged Treasures", each of which had to weigh five catties. In addition to the small amount of loose silver left in the ingot baggage, there are also some letters and documents. Li Lintang put the silver into his arms, and threw things like Wen Mu all over the ground.

Li Lintang touched Gaomi County's body again, and took out a heavy piece of brass, the size of a palm, from his arms, and only after carefully distinguishing it did he recognize it as an official seal. Li Lintang sneered, turned the official seal in his hand, and placed it neatly next to the half-collapsed head of Gaomi County.

Touching down again, Li Lintang knew that he had found a big object! There is a small bag sewn into the trouser tubes on both sides of this Gaomi County, and in each small bag is three gold bars two fingers wide and half a palm long!

Li Lintang was taken aback by this, and for a while, his eyes couldn't leave these six "big yellow croaker". It is said that wealth is touching people's hearts, how can there be anyone who sees money and his eyes are not red? Li Lintang has saved a lot of savings over the years, but how can he compare it with this Gaomi County? As the saying goes, "A Qingshui official, three thousand three silver", Li Lintang's meeting can be regarded as a rise in knowledge!

Li Lintang also thought that this Gaomi County must not be a good bird, it must be unclean! Otherwise, he would not have abandoned his wife, nor would he have hidden the gold bars so secretly. The pouch containing the gold bars was sewn into the pants, and Li Lintang didn't believe that he had made such pants before going out.

There's not much time to sigh now, and if people see it for a while, it's a terrible thing. Li Lintang untied his coat and put the gold bars firmly on his body, but he still felt uneasy, so he untied the strap that tied his hair and wrapped it around his waist, so as not to fall off the gold bars when he walked. He walked around and tried it, and when he thought it was okay, he put on his coat.

Li Lintang came to the county seat just to take revenge, and the Boxers came to the county seat to provide him with a great opportunity, but Li Lintang was like a mirror in his heart, and he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Boxers. He is not a descendant of magic, but has he never eaten pork and seen a pig run? Li Lintang felt that he couldn't see the set of the Boxers worshipping incense and inviting God, and he just deceived the stupid farmer pawn into turning around, but he couldn't fool the eyes of Li Lintang, an expert.

Besides, today, the Boxers let a group of children charge forward, and Li Lintang felt cold. What kind of approach is this? Those children believe that they are invulnerable! But where did such a good thing come from? Dead on the railway site, no one collected the bodies of these children.

The "masters" who turned their heads and took these children were still saying that these children died quickly, and they were unharmed because these children were "not good at learning and not getting the true inheritance". Fart! Li Lintang felt that it was true that these people hated foreigners, but it was also true that they were greedy for life and afraid of death. He doesn't want to care, and he can't. He is one person and one life, if something hits, he bumps into it, and he and those children don't know each other, so why bother wading into this troubled water.

Thinking about it, Li Lintang walked to the main road, and when he raised his eyes, there were fires all over the city! The shouts of killing in the church on the west side were boiling, and the Boxers must have really wanted to kill a happy one.

Li Lintang, who had taken revenge, didn't want to wade into troubled waters again, so it was best to leave without knowing it. Don't meet Sun Wen, Li Jinbang and the bearded man, just treat yourself as if you have never been to the county, it is the best. Today's chaos in the city, Gaomi County is a small county town without soldiers, and now the city gate is bound to be closed, so it's too late to go.

Li Lintang ran east along the avenue and went straight to the outside of the city.

Halfway through the road, Li Lintang saw the door of a house on the side of the road open, and a woman's painful moans and a child's cry came from inside. Li Lintang felt that something was wrong: he was planning to go out of the city through the east gate, and now the Boxers are burning churches in the west, and the villagers are burning the government in the north, and the people in the east of the city are frightened, and all the doors are closed, and the lights are out, what is going on with this family? Shouldn't it be that the ruffians in the villagers took the opportunity to harm the ordinary people!

As soon as I thought of this, Li Lintang also came up with a sense of anger, ordinary people have no grievances with you, and they will suffer from you! Where did this come from?

Li Lintang was a big man, and he didn't think much about it, so he carried an iron rod into the door. This family has no yard, and when you enter the door, you will have the main hall, two rooms in the east and west, and a typical small door. The Westinghouse was dark, and the lights and sounds were coming from the Eastinghouse.

Li Lintang gently pushed and pulled the door of the east house, and the inside was bolted. He pressed his ear to the door again, and could hear the cry of a child, the groans of pain of a woman, and the heavy gaspsβ€”the wheezing of more than one person.

"Cry! Cry again, I'm fucking chopping you! Suddenly there was a loud cry in the room, the sound of a sharp weapon being nailed into the wood, a woman's anxious snort, and a girl's panicked scream!

Li Lintang made up his mind, took two steps back, raised his foot and kicked the door open, and the door frame was torn off half of it!

Li Lintang's eyes widened, and he took a big stick to look inside the house, and there was a man lying on the ground, his face was covered with blood and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. There was a girl squatting in the corner of the room, holding her knees and trembling, tears and snot flowing, and she was crying and sobbing, as if she couldn't breathe.

There were also two teenagers in the room, both wearing practice clothes, wearing square scarves on their heads, and a piece of red cloth on their chests. One of them pulled the stool that had fallen to the ground, and a sharp knife was nailed to the table in his hand, and the other pressed a gagged woman to the bed, exposing her half-pulled ass!

Both of them looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were also born with good thieves.

Li Lintang kicked in the door like this, which naturally frightened the people in the house, and the two teenagers were thrilled by the sound, and they all looked at Li Lintang.

"Boxer cubs!" Li Lintang said this is gritting his teeth, he couldn't imagine that most of the Boxers burned foreign temples in the west, and there were actually two little kings and eight lambs who ran to the east of the city to "find happiness".

"Knowing that we are Boxers, don't hurry up," the young man lying on the woman was a little bold, loosened his trousers, picked up the big knife next to the bed and gestured at Li Lintang, "These are foreign people, we are 'helping to clear and destroy foreigners'." You should go where it's cool! ”

Where is Li Lintang willing to talk nonsense with him, lift the iron rod and stick it straight into the young man's chest! The young man was also agile, and narrowly avoided this blow, and the red cloth on his chest was torn to pieces by the iron rod!

The other teenager saw this, hurriedly retreated a few steps, and nested in a corner with the little girl. His calf touched the little girl's body, and the little girl screamed in fright, which only frightened the boy into another spirit.

The young man with the knife broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect Li Lintang to really dare to do it!

"Do you know who I am?" The boy shouted inwardly.

Li Lintang was amused by the cowardly in the corner of the house, took the iron rod, and said, "I don't know." ”

The young man was a little bold and said, "My brother-in-law is Zhao Sanye, the master of the Boxer Shandong Banner Altar!" This family's private collection of foreign things is 'Ermaozi', we are doing the right thing for heaven! You kneel down and kowtow to me three times now, call grandpa three times, and I'll treat you as if you haven't come in, otherwise, my brother-in-law will let you walk around without eating! ”

Zhao Sanye? Isn't it Zhao Laosan? I was by this young man! Zhao Laosan is the bearded man, I didn't think he was still the owner of the flag altar, so majestic!

Li Lintang put the iron rod into the leather buckle behind his back, tied it on his chest, and carried the iron rod behind his back. The young man saw that Li Lintang had collected his weapon, and felt that his brother-in-law had suppressed the field. I thought about it again, whether it was too much to make him kowtow, and it was not easy to explain it to my brother-in-law when I turned around.

The young man thought about it, but saw a fist in front of him getting bigger and bigger! With a "bang", Li Lintang really broke the bridge of the young man's nose with a heavy punch! The young man leaned back at the punch, and his head hit the wall again, and for a while he only felt that Venus was jumping in front of him, and a hundred birds were flying in his ears, and he couldn't get up from the wall.

Li Lintang took a step forward, raised his foot and stomped on the young man's chest, and the sound of broken bones was clearly audible!

Li Lintang retracted his feet, the young man's chest collapsed and he stood tall, a puddle of blood foam gushed out of his mouth, his eyes were blank and his limbs trembled slightly, and he saw that he had more air out and less air in.

Another teenager saw Li Lintang looking back at himself, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Uncle, I didn't do anything, I just was my follower, I really didn't do anything!" ”

After speaking, he kowtowed again and again. Li Lintang stepped forward and squatted down and pressed the young man's shoulder. The boy shuddered and stopped.

"You didn't do anything...... Li Lintang said with a smile, "Did you use a knife to scare other girls just now?" ”

The boy nodded his head and shook his head violently, unable to speak.

Li Lintang's other hand was on the young man's vein, and he held it hard, and the young man's hand twisted with his master's scream like a pig!

The boy was choked on the shoulders and fell to the ground howling. Li Lintang stood up and kicked the young man's leg: "Get out." When the young man heard this, he heard the sound of heaven! I got up with all my strength and ran away.

When I came back to my senses, I saw that the woman had torn off the strip of cloth that was strangled from her mouth, ran to the girl's side, hugged the girl tightly, and looked at Li Lintang trembling.

Li Lintang knew that there must be a lot of such things in the city tonight, he was not a Da Luo Immortal, he couldn't save everyone, just like the kids who were charging in front of the Boxers.

Sighing, Li Lintang didn't go out of the door.

Out of the East City Gate, Li Lintang hurried away in the starry night and went straight to Liujiazhuang.

Back to Zhuanglizi, at sunrise. Li Lintang told Liu Bing clearly what happened in the past day, and Liu Bing was shocked when he heard it. Although Li Lintang was tired, he did not rest, and asked Liu Bing for a horse, saying that he was going to leave Shandong.

Liu Bing was very puzzled, Li Lintang explained to Liu Bing carefully: "I didn't expect things to be so big, foreigners can send troops for the sake of two foreign monks, and even more troops for the lifeblood of the railway!" If those villagers burned the county government, it was a rebellion, and the court would not sit idly by. When the time comes, few of these people will survive. Those who know my name and surname are those who talk to people, and they have all seen me kill foreigners, and they will inevitably push me out when the time comes, and I will be a burden to you if I stay here. ”

Although Liu Bing was reluctant, he knew that what his brother said was right, so he said: "It's okay, it's important to save your life." If you don't know when you can see you again, Brother Lin Tang can't cut off contact. ”

Li Lintang nodded: "I'll write to you when I settle down." By the way, it's just that Sun Wen, Li Jinbang and the like have secretly made friends, and the relationship between the Boxers must be severed, and they are afraid that they will really make things out of control. Although these people are boxers who have been recruited by the Prime Minister's Yamen, they are indeed no different from bandits. This time I'll go, if a Boxer comes to me, you will say that I stole a lot of money from Liujiazhuang and ran away, and you must make a clear relationship with me. ”

Liu Bing heard that Li Lintang arranged each case in such detail, and couldn't help but look at Li Lintang with admiration, and after agreeing to it, he said goodbye to Li Lintang.

The story goes that in the middle of the night, the beard has already filled the lamp with oil. Both Mr. Peng and Li Lintang were slightly drunk.

"Later, it took me three days to return to the Tieyuan Dart," Li Lintang threw the gnawed bones in his hand on the table, and said, "I sneaked it in the middle of the night, and no one knows." I took all the money I had saved in my ten years with me, went to the temple to shave my head, burned my precepts, stole a monk's clothes, preached the trail, walked in the forest, walked for more than half a year, went to the northeast, and came here. ”

"It's been a hard work." Mr. Peng smiled and said, "What about Sun Wen and Li Jinbang?" What happened? ”

"Them?" Li Lintang said, "These people have played big, and in half a month, the whole Shandong has rebelled!" As a result, not long after I left Shandong, I inquired about the letter, and the governor of Shandong, Yuan Shikai, and the devils in Germany, worked hard for three days to catch these people, and those who failed to arrest were killed. It's thanks to me that I'm fast, otherwise...... Hum. ”

Mr. Peng rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm almost drunk, let's sleep." Huzi, you clean up the table, Lin Tang will sleep on a kang with me, here used to be a monk temple, and the kang was like a chase shop. ”

Li Lintang Yile: "In such a spacious place as this house, you and Huzi sleep separately?" ”

Mr. Peng smiled bitterly: "A kang in autumn and winter saves firewood." After the beginning of spring, he likes to go wherever he wants, sleeps and grinds his teeth. ”

"Hehe, you two are really interesting."

The lights went out and the night was silent.
