Chapter 330: A Glimpse of the Wind
The man who Nalan Lang sent to connect with Huzi is a forty-year-old man who is outside your door. This man was richly dressed, but he was black and thin, short and short, and his head was only up to the shoulder of the tiger. He is a native of Yingkou, and his accent is still very strong when he speaks official, with a smell of oysters, but fortunately, he can still understand it, so that he will not be speechless. His identity on the face is that he is a businessman named Xia Lushun.
Nominally, or to the outside world, it was this Xia Lu who heard about the name of the ghost family, and took advantage of the goods to come to Changtu Mansion, and by the way, he also invited the gentleman in the door to go over to see things. In fact, he wanted Huzi to be a bodyguard for this person and send him to Yingkou safely.
In fact, since the opening of the whole railway, it only takes six or seven hours to get on the train from Changtu to Yingkou. If you can't find a bodyguard, you can't talk about any danger. But if you want to die, Xia Lushun has something terrible on his body - Western medicine! Western medicine used to cure diseases and save people! Huzi had also heard that the small pills taken out by those missionaries and foreign monks were faster than drinking Chinese medicine soup to cure diseases.
But this thing is not everywhere, ordinary people are sick and can't use this thing. In fact, Western medicine is a controlled strategic material, which has always been in the hands of foreigners, and many people cannot buy it if they have money. Now Xia Lushun has these medicines in hand, which are all piled up by the regiment from the border of Qing and Russia, one by one. Now it is in the hands of Xia Lushun and Huzi.
In this way, it is impossible to take the train to the railway, and this part of the journey has to be driven by horse-drawn carriage.
But the two big boxes of medicines were too ostentatious, and they couldn't hire a carriage, and there were two boxes of medicines in the carriage, and they blatantly ran all the way to Yingkou. Fortunately, Xia Lushun's identity as a businessman is not fake, and there is indeed such a thing. He received the goods in Changtu Province, hid the medicine in the goods, and shipped them south.
The days of the high tension of the fire umbrella have long passed, and now it is the time of the autumn harvest, what is the cheapest thing in Changtu Mansion at this time? Grain. Changtu Province is a granary and a place where grain is abundant. Although this year's grain prices have quadrupled compared to previous years due to the tense atmosphere between Japan and Russia, they are still cheaper than at other times since July this year. So, five carts, a carriage, six car owners, a merchant, and a Mr. Yin and Yang formed a small convoy. From Changtu Province, drive to Yingkou.
In the autumn harvest season, there are many people who come to Changtu Mansion to collect grain from afar, and those who do not take such a fresh thing as the train, although they look stupid, but they are not nothing, so as not to arouse suspicion. After all, it is a foreigner's thing, and many old-fashioned businessmen can't believe it.
The weather is cold, obviously a few days ago it was so hot that it could dry a layer of skin outside a day, but this morning, there was frost on the grass. Huzi also put away his short shirt with bare arms and changed into clothes that could resist the wind. He was used to waking up early, and although it hadn't been long since dawn, he wasn't sleepy. Just sat on the carriage, watching the temporary hired hard work, piling bags of buds onto the cart, without the slightest intention of stepping forward to help.
"Mr. Peng, what do you want?" Xia Lushun patted Huzi on the shoulder, "I see you've been sitting here for a long time, didn't you sleep well last night?" If you are sleepy, go into the car and sleep for a while, and it will take a while to wait for the goods to be loaded. ”
"Ah, it's okay, I'm not sleepy." Huzi waved his hand, "Usually I have to get up earlier than usual, it's not that I'm sleepy." I just thought, how sinister this journey is. Let's cross Tieling, Shengjing, Liaoyang, Anshan, and finally get to Yingkou. Along the way, people eat horses and chew, and they also have to take care of the 'goods', unlike traveling lightly, it must be a little dangerous. ”
Listening to Huzi bite the word "goods" very hard, Xia Lushun naturally understood the meaning of the words. He said: "This must be dangerous, after all, it is such a 'business'. However, it is said that Mr. Xiao Peng is very skilled, so there must be any bandits, right? ”
"That's not necessarily," Huzi shook his head, "Your boss was dazed and remembered to ask me to be my bodyguard." No matter how good I am? It's still a mortal fetus, and a gun is enough to kill me. ”
When the two of them spoke, their voices were very low. Seeing that a car owner came over, he didn't talk about it.
"How much time will it take?" Xia Lushun picked up the owner's pie.
The sweat on the head of the car boss responded: "Judging from now, we will be able to leave the city in about half an hour." I'm here to ask you, do those hired coolies give me a breakfast? ”
"The emperor is not a hungry soldier, I am not so dark-hearted." Xia Lushun frowned and waved his hand, "Look at which small restaurants are open, make some pimple soup with Sanhe noodles for them, so that they don't have to give us food when they say that they will work for us." ”
After another half an hour of busy work, the six cars finally got on the road. Thinking that he would have to walk for several days, Huzi didn't want to nest in the carriage, so he still sat on the wheel, blowing the cold wind, and looked around boredly. While looking aimlessly, he muttered in his heart: If you make a mistake, you should bring a few idle books out, and when you are bored on the road, you can still read the script to pass the time.
Huzi was thinking about it, and another carriage came in front of him. Originally, this was the avenue in front of the south gate of Changtu Province, and it was normal for vehicles to come and go. But hit the car that came in front of you, it's different.
The car was moving very slowly, not because it was pulling any heavy objects, but because there were a lot of people around it, there must have been seven or eight of them. In order to accommodate the speed of these seven or eight people walking, this car is so slow. It is not unusual to say that there are seven or eight guards or retinues. It doesn't matter if it's a dignitary, which rich person is happy, and it's not impossible to make such a battle show off his arrogance. But I didn't see any of the guards outside the staff, all dressed in civilian clothes, but carrying spears!
Who is sitting in this car? When the two cars were staggered, Huzi's eyes inevitably drifted to that side, and he was still thinking crankily in his heart, did Nalan Shiheng come back from inspecting the barracks? That doesn't make sense. Not to mention that it's still early, the master may still be in the bed, even if he really returns from inspecting the barracks, the guards with him should also wear military uniforms, how can they be wearing civilian clothes and carrying guns?
Coincidentally, a gust of wind blew, and the curtain hanging on the side of the carriage rolled up. At this moment, the sky was already bright, and with such a wind, Huzi saw the scene in the carriage opposite.
In the cart was a woman dressed in gray, with her hands and feet bound by ropes, and her mouth covered with a piece of cloth. Probably to prevent her from spitting out the cloth, there was a rope on the outside of the cloth, and even into her mouth. The woman still had some abrasions on her face, presumably after some struggle.
If that's all, then Huzi doesn't bother to care. After all, now he has an important responsibility, and he can't tolerate any branches. But he knew the woman in the car. It's not someone else, it's the daughter of An Zhifu who borrowed money from the ghost family and went to Shengjing to escape from marriage-An Jien!
Huzi saw An Xien, and An Jien naturally saw Huzi. Maybe it's something that makes her irrational. As soon as she saw Huzi, An Jien struggled violently in the car, and some muffled sounds came out of her blocked mouth.
It is clear that Ann Ann's escape from marriage failed. She has not been heard from since the beginning of the year, and Huzi thinks that this person has achieved her dream, and with the help of Sheng Jing's classmates, she has fled to Beijing and started teaching foreign languages in school. It's autumn now, and she's still been caught.
Huzi has the urge to jump out of the car! He did have the urge to jump out of the car. In Huzi's heart, An Jien is different from others, although Huzi has not had much contact with her, Huzi feels that such a person should not have such an end. She is a rare woman who is well-informed and reads poetry, and many of the words in her mouth sound deviant to others, but they make Huzi find it quite interesting. For the first time, Huzi saw that women can do what men can do, and even after knowing An Xien, he felt more that those women who were bound with little feet and only knew their husbands and children in their lives were very pathetic.
Such a woman should not have such an end.
Hearing the movement in the car, a guard knocked on the carriage and said softly: "Miss, we are almost home, you can settle down." In response to him, it was An Jien in the carriage, who struggled even more violently.
"Look at what, look!" Another guard with a gun shouted at Huzi, "Look at it again, pick out your eyeballs!" ”
Yes, not far from the south gate of Changtu Mansion, even if the tiger can't bear it, what can he do? Jumped out of the car, killed the guards, and kidnapped Ann? Impossible. What's more, in the five big carts of buds in the back, there are enough things for many people to lose their heads. It is impossible for Huzi to implicate the lives of so many people for the sake of temporary speed.
So he could only turn his head away from looking, and secretly bit his lip to get blood.
The car boss, who was sitting outside the carriage with him, saw Huzi's appearance, was a little puzzled, and asked cautiously: "Mr. Xiao Peng?" What's wrong with you? ”
The boss of this car knows that the young man in front of him is Mr. Yin and Yang who was invited back by his owner. The car boss is also good at observing words and feelings, and after seeing the owner's attitude towards Huzi, he naturally knows that this young master cannot be offended. That's why I'm so careful.
Huzi was asked by the car boss, came back to his senses, and felt pain. Reaching out and wiping his lips, he rubbed a patch of red on his fingers. He first said "It's okay" to the car boss, and then smiled bitterly, thinking: It's really a trouble to have a sharp tiger tooth in your mouth.
