Chapter 33 Spring and Autumn Brushwork
"Not tonight, I have to hurry back, I have to find a chance to talk to our general about this matter first, without further ado, how many days can my senior brother stay?" I'll settle this matter and then go into the city to have a drink with my brother. The general said with a smile, and the dart master took a small indigo purse out of his arms, pushed it from the table to the general, and said with a smile: "It's okay to stay for a few more days, I'll go back when this matter is over. ”
The general did not shirk, took the purse sleeve, drank tea, and gossiped a few words with the dart master, the two stood up, went out of the teahouse, hugged their fists and said goodbye, and went back.
Li Xiaoqi and Li Zonggui looked at the two of them and went out, also settled the account, and followed out, seeing the two of them walking away separately in the south and north, Li Xiaoqi signaled to Li Zonggui: "One for each person." ”
Li Zonggui stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Xiaoqi: "Big brother said, I can't let you be left alone, and I don't worry about you, you don't need to look at that, let's just watch this." Li Zonggui said, raising his chin to indicate the direction of the general's departure, Li Xiaoqi sighed heavily, and did not insist, together with Li Zonggui, far behind the general, out of the north gate, walked two or three hundred steps, there were no vendors around, and pedestrians were gradually scarce, the two of them did not dare to follow, standing in front of a stall selling roast sheep's heads, bought ten yuan of roasted sheep's heads, while pretending to wait for the sheep's head meat to be roasted, while aiming at the general's whereabouts, watching him go back to the camp in the north.
Li Zonggui held the roast sheep's head, the two turned around and entered the city, all the way to the big car shop, Zhang Gouzi was anxiously standing at the door of the big car shop, holding his toes, stretching his neck and looking around, seeing the two coming, he breathed a long sigh of relief, hurriedly greeted him, took the big bag and small bag in Li Xiaoqi's hand, and wanted to pick up the big bag and small bag hanging on Li Zonggui's body, Li Zonggui twisted his brows, signaling that he didn't have to, the three of them returned to the Taiping car, put their things, and didn't dare to delay any longer, Li Xiaoqi jumped into the car, Sun Qidi shouted the cow, and went out of the south city gate, All the way back to the West Hill of the Beacon.
Li Xiaoqi took a piece of roast sheep's head and tasted it, and handed the lotus leaf bag in his hand to Zhang Gouzi: "It tastes good, you and Uncle Sun try it." Zhang Gouzi took the lotus leaf bag with a smile, jumped to the front of the car in two steps, and Sun Qidi, you and I were together, and I ate a fine meal in a moment.
Not far from the West Mountain of the Beacon, the sky was getting dark, Li Xiaoqi jumped out of the car, pulled Li Zonggui, took more than ten steps behind, and said in a low voice: "Don't tell the eldest brother and Brother Shui Sheng about this when you go back, anyway, it has nothing to do with us." ”
Li Zonggui paused slightly, and was about to speak, Li Xiaoqi took his arm, and then said: "Brother Guizi, you think, the eldest brother is a chivalrous person, and he pays the most attention to it, if he knows about this, he will definitely want to talk to the Beacon Dongshan, or do something else, but this matter can't be said, as soon as you say it, people don't know that it's a good thing we do, I think, forget it, don't say it." ”
"This can't be done, this matter, let's not hide it from the eldest brother, Xiaoyi, this matter can't be hidden from the eldest brother anyway, what you say makes sense, but don't worry, although the eldest brother is chivalrous, he is not that stubborn." Li Zonggui waved his hand and categorically denied Li Xiaoqi's proposal, Li Xiaoqi didn't insist, his eyes rolled slightly, he shook Li Zonggui's arm and said: "Okay, I listen to Brother Guizi, but, let me tell the eldest brother, what I said is right, you just nodded, what you said is not right, you shake your head, you can't interject, let me tell the eldest brother!" ”
Li Zonggui was shaken back and forth by Li Xiaoqi, so he had to nod and agree: "Okay, but you can't talk nonsense, there is one thing to say." ”
"Then don't worry, I, Li Xiaoyi, never lie, I have always said one and two is two." Li Xiaoqi assured with a smile.
A few people are still two or three miles away from the West Mountain of the Bijia, Zhang Dazhuang took two or three people, carrying spears, and picked them up from afar, and the group returned to the mountain, eat, Li Xiaoqi made a cup of tea for each of the brothers, rubbed it between Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng and sat down, pulled Li Zongliang, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, Brother Guizi and I met the dart master from Xinyang Mansion again today." ”
Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng immediately became vigilant, looked at Li Xiaomi, and waited for her to say, Li Xiaoqi glanced at Li Zonggui, turned around and pulled Wei Shuisheng, and said softly: "Brother Shuisheng, do you remember, last year we saw a dart master from Xinyang in the Liuyeer Tea House, it was the head of the dart master, the one with the vulture face, he saw him today, didn't he say last time, he didn't give a New Year's gift to the head of the Bijia Dongshan Sun, said that he wouldn't walk down his mountain a few times a year anyway, and said that he had a junior brother leading the soldiers to be stationed in Zhengcheng." , not afraid that Sun Da Leader will turn his face, and that New Year's gift will be privately divided between him and those dart masters. ”
Wei Shuisheng laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Li Xiaoyi's head: "When did you talk so much?" Hurry up and get down to business. ”
"Well," Li Xiaoqi agreed obediently, turned his head to look at Li Zongliang, and then said: "Today, Brother Guizi and I just turned into the street of the dart bureau, and happened to watch him come out of the dart game, which scared me and Brother Guizi, staring at him all the way into the Liuye Teahouse, and then a general came, listen to the talk, it is really his junior brother, and then he talked about the Beacon Dongshan, but his voice was too soft, and Brother Guizi and I didn't listen to it all, the general said, they want to train the army, if you can still do this." Li Xiaoqi learned to twist his fingers with the general: "It's better, the dart master said that the pen frame is very fat, and said, otherwise how would he walk on the rivers and lakes." ”
Li Xiaoyi's words stopped abruptly, Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng waited for a while, looked at Li Xiaoqi and asked, "Gone?" ”
"Hmm." Li Xiaoqi nodded, Wei Shuisheng looked at her, and then turned his head to look at Li Zonggui who was frowning, Li Zongliang frowned, and looked at Wei Shuisheng: "I'm afraid that Leader Sun didn't receive the New Year's gift, and found the dart game to speak, where can such money be greedy?" These dart masters are also too bold. As he spoke, he sighed: "The pen frame Dongshan is also a disaster." ”
"It's not a disaster, the leader of the pen frame Dongshan Sun is famous, even if there is no such thing, maybe one day it is not this handsome, or that handsome, and he will also use him to practice, what a good thing, he has practiced again, made a fortune, and added credit to the people's harm." Li Xiaoqi hurriedly took over the words, Li Zongliang nodded, was silent for a moment, turned his head to look at Li Erhuai and ordered: "You go and call Tiemu, and Shuncai come over, we have to discuss and discuss, we have to prevent these officers and soldiers from fighting Dongshan, and then take our Xishan by the hand." ”
Li Erhuai agreed, hurriedly jumped up and ran out to call someone, Wei Shuisheng looked the honest Li Xiaoqi up and down, stood up, and beckoned Li Zonggui: "Your son will come out with me, I have something to ask you." ”
Li Zonggui agreed, hurriedly stood up and followed, Li Xiaoqi jumped faster than Li Zonggui, grabbed Wei Shuisheng's arm and shouted, "I want to listen too!" Wei Shuisheng picked up Li Xiaoqi and pressed it back to the chair: "If you don't listen, An Sheng sits." Li Xiaoqi watched Li Zonggui follow Wei Shuisheng out of the door.
Li Erhuai took Zhang Tiemu and Jiang Shuncai to come in and just sat down, Wei Shuisheng and Li Zonggui also entered the house one after the other, Li Zongliang looked at Zhang Tiemu and Jiang Shuncai and explained: "I just got the letter, the officers and soldiers may have to clean up the pen frame Dongshan for a while, we have to be very careful, Shuncai, you and the dog, well, counting Zhao Fifth Brother and Liushun, the four of you, take turns to go to the eagle's beak stone to watch the movement in the north, don't be careless." ”
"Don't worry, uncle!" Jiang Shuncai simply agreed, and Li Zongliang looked at Zhang Tiemu and confessed: "You take people, tomorrow morning you will take people to move the grain to the cave, put it in that small hole and hide it, and then explain it, for a while, no one is allowed to go down the mountain." ”
Zhang Tiemu hurriedly agreed, Li Zongliang exhaled, and was about to wave his hand to send the two away, Wei Shuisheng smiled and confessed: "Also, Tiemu will confess when he goes out, from tonight onwards, no lights are allowed in each house, and all the lanterns in the yard are extinguished, so it's best not to let people see that there are people living on our mountain." ”
"Hey!" Zhang Tiemu agreed heavily, seeing that Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng had nothing else to say, he and Jiang Shun came out and went their separate ways.
Wei Shuisheng got up and closed the door, moved the lamp on the table to the ground, looked at Li Zongliang, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, this time the officers and soldiers are coming, and it has something to do with our robbery of Qian Wenxuan. ”
Li Xiaoqi stared at Li Zonggui angrily, Li Zonggui shrunk his neck, spread his hands, and signaled that he had no way, Li Zongliang raised his hand and knocked on Li Xiaoqi's head and reproached: "Playing Spring and Autumn Brushwork with Big Brother?" This disaster was brought about by us after we robbed Qian Wenxuan, if Leader Sun can't escape, it's okay, if he escapes this catastrophe, how can he hide this matter? When the time comes, we will come to trouble, and we can only recognize the song! If you want to fight or kill, you have to follow others! ”
"Big brother is right, this matter is related to our reputation on the road, we have just entered the industry, this reputation is bad, and there will be a lot of troubles in the future, Xiaoyi, you can't do this next time, do you hear?" Wei Shuisheng raised his hand to block Li Zongliang's hand, pulled Li Xiaomi, rubbed her head, and explained softly, Li Xiaomian looked at Li Zongliang with an angry face, pulled Wei Shuisheng's sleeve, and while agreeing, he flashed behind Wei Shuisheng and hid.
"Big brother, we have to think about it, what should we do about this." Wei Shuisheng pulled Li Xiaoqi to sit on the chair next to him, looked at Li Zongliang and said, Li Zongliang wrinkled his brows and thought carefully for a moment: "This matter, I have to report to Leader Sun, believe it or not." ”
