Chapter 7: There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain
I snickered to myself, and Alain snatched the reins and whip from my hand, and gave me an angry look.
"Cousin! Don't mess around anymore! If you mess around, I won't go with you! ”
As soon as I heard Alain's anger, I hurriedly confessed: "Okay, let's go quickly!" Without your mule cart to go down the mountain, I'm afraid I won't be able to get there at noon! ”
"That's all right," Alain raised his eyebrows, and a shallow pear vortex appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Then please cousin, you sit in the car seriously, so that I can catch the car with peace of mind!"
I took a closer look at the mule cart in front of me and found that the mule cart still had white lacquer words on it that read "Nanbu County Catholic Dominican", which was obviously the private property of the church.
The rich do good deeds with just a few hands, but if the poor do good deeds day by day for ten years, it is rare! I couldn't help but feel admiration, and I thought in my heart that when we were separated, I would leave the flower water for them anyway.
When I climbed into the mule cart, I found two large wooden barrels on the cart, leaning against the railing, one with the words "food" and the other with "swill". I had no choice but to find a gap and sit down, endure the heavy smell around me, cover my nose and show a pair of innocent eyes, and squeeze my eyebrows at Alain!
Alan chuckled, wrinkled his nose, and ordered angrily, "Cousin! You're going to have to sit down, sit tight! I don't care if I fall into a bucket! With that, the mule ran happily with a "driving" sound!
The streets and alleys are stone piers, and the road is uneven all the way, and I was suddenly upturned and miserable!
Alan drove the mule cart forward, turned out of the streets and alleys after a while, and arrived at the county road in Chengguan, the road was already made of loess, so it was relatively flat, and after running for more than half an hour, she entered Wuli Village, and the little girl was very familiar with it, and ran along the village for more than half an hour before entering the pine forest.
At this time, the surrounding pines and green forests were standing, and the air was filled with the moisture of green leaves and earth, and the rancid smell of those swill buckets was suppressed a lot, and I could finally breathe in the back, but when I was about to speak, Alan spoke first: "Young master! You see, there seems to be a level ahead! ”
I held on to the guardrail of the car and looked up for a moment, and found that a mile ahead was the entrance of the mountain road of Shijingling, but there was a corner not far in front of me, and there was a thousand-year-old pine coiled at the corner.
I pondered in my heart, and remembered what the housekeeper Lan Youquan said, today it was the Dongliu People's League that deliberately closed the road, which caused my father to worry about locking me up at home, thinking of this, I didn't get angry, and said angrily: "Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that Zhong Guangyao's bullshit group practice had already been dredged up in the mansion today, I would still want to find their bad luck! ”
When the mule cart arrived at the checkpoint, and as expected, it was intercepted, and the two militia townsmen shouted and asked, "Where is this mule cart and where are you going?" I don't know if the bandits are set up today? ”
Alan grabbed the reins and hurriedly turned around and reminded, "Young Master, what should I do......"
I was a little dizzy on the mule cart, and I didn't bother to look back at these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, so I still sat upright on the car, waved with my back to the two villagers, and replied angrily: "The car of Rentai Commercial Bank is going to Lingxia!" Hurry up! ”
"Rentai Firm's car?" These villagers were stunned for a while, and I heard them muttering in a low voice: "I just heard that a few brothers passed on Zhong Tuanlian's message, saying that in the past few days, all the carriages and horses of the Lu Rentai Commercial Bank should not be stopped, so let's let them go quickly!" ”
I was waiting for them to open the gate and let them go, but I didn't expect that these townsmen suddenly "clicked" a few times and pulled the bolt one after another, and shouted loudly: "Nonsense!" Where is this Rentai Firm's car! Are you blind to lie to us? Get out of the car! ”
When I heard this, I was angry in my heart, and I slowly got out of the car by holding on to the railing, and asked loudly, "Are you blind?" Didn't you see that I was the eldest young master of the Lu family? ”
When I got out of the car, the two villagers on the opposite side were stunned!
And I was stunned after seeing these two townsmen clearly!
I saw that between the lightning and flint, the two townsmen quickly put away the guns in their hands, and immediately turned around and ran, but they ran very without tacit understanding, not to run apart, but to squeeze at both ends, and hit a full bosom with a "bang"!
When I saw these two lack of tendons, I couldn't help but laugh, and then slowly swaggered over.
When the two villagers screamed from the ground and slowly struggled to get up, I happened to stand beside them, and with my hands stretched, I grabbed them by the collars, and glared at them twice, and said angrily: "I said where have you two gone!" It turns out that I have hidden in the militia! It seems that it is really fate! Right? Zhang family brothers! ”
These two people, the older one is called Zhang Jiayu, and the younger one is called Zhang Sanyu, both of them regard me as a bitter master, and they are both troubled by idleness on weekdays!
The two used to play in the area of Pingchuan Bridge, and practiced a good kung fu of "shooting stones" on weekdays, which is a kind of traditional Hakka game, which is to dig a few small holes at the foot of the mountain or under the root of the wall, open a distance of one zhang, and hit the small stones with the middle finger to enter the hole.
The Zhang brothers are already veterans here, but if you want to talk about the idle ancestors, how can these two compare to me?
The two of us pulled to the Pingchuan Bridge to compare and draw, the Zhang brothers lost bloody, not to mention, they actually made a bet, and lost ten yuan of ocean, and then I continued to collect debts, and the Zhang brothers lost their traces in the area of Pingchuan Bridge, but I was easy to find, and I didn't want to enter the militia as a villager, until this time these two brothers saw me like a mouse and a cat.
Zhang Jiayu opened his mouth and begged: "Young Master Fusheng, it's not that our brother doesn't pay back!" You're not bad for the ten oceans, aren't you? You're just going to think we're a fart and let us go! ”
Zhang Sanjian even bowed his head and begged for mercy: "Yes, yes, yes...... Young Master Fusheng, oh no, Uncle Fusheng, you can spare the two of us! ”
I smiled evilly, and raised two thick eyebrows.
"It's not that I'm going to embarrass you, it's that you're deliberately embarrassment for me! Didn't we say that this is the car of Rentai Commercial Bank? Just let you go, I don't care at all, what stupid are you doing! What are you stopping? ”
Zhang Jiayu smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Fusheng, you said that this is the car of your Rentai Commercial Bank!" If it was really the car of Rentai Commercial Bank, we wouldn't dare to stop it even if we borrowed ten guts! ”
"Yo, you're still hard-mouthed!" I glared at each other and asked, "Then you say, why is this car not the car of Rentai Commercial Bank?" ”
Speaking of this, Alan pulled the corner of my clothes on the side, and said timidly: "Young master, this is really not the car of Rentai Commercial Bank, this is the car of Dominican Society!" ”
"Huh?" I was dumbfounded when I heard this, I was really confused, the white paint on this mule cart did write the signboard of "Nanbu County Catholic Dominican Society", no wonder this Zhang family brotherhood suddenly became suspicious.
As soon as I thought that I had made another mistake, I hurriedly loosened the neckline of this Zhang brother, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this car is really ......"
As soon as the Zhang brothers were let go by me, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Young Master Fusheng."
"Young Master, you have a lot of adults, and there will be good rewards in the future!"
The two of them collided hard in a hurry, each with a swollen bag on their heads, not to mention, and their whole body hurt, they saw that I was no longer pursuing it, so they hurriedly picked up the guns and bullets that had been lost on the ground, and put them back on before returning to me and nodding their waists.
Among them, Zhang Jiayu took out a cigarette and handed it to me, I raised my hand to refuse, Zhang Jiayu stuffed himself into his mouth, lit the fire, and chatted after two sips.
"Young Master Fusheng, where are you going? Hurry up so much! ”
"Don't gossip, give way! I'm going to Dongliu to find my second uncle. "I don't have the time to mess around with these two fools.
As soon as the Zhang brothers heard that I still had serious business, where did they dare to delay for a moment, they hurriedly hung up their guns, and the two of them joined forces to remove the barricades that blocked the road, and only after Alan drove the mule cart over, they moved the barricades back to their original positions.
I was about to get into the car, but the Zhang brothers climbed into the mule cart one after another, only to hear Zhang Jiayu say to me: "There are still many brothers at the Lingxia Mountain Pass, let's send the young master over!" lest the brothers over there interrogate at that time, but delay your important affairs, young master! “
I thought it was reasonable, so I let them follow, beckoned Alain to hurry on, and ran for a quarter of an hour to the bottom of the ridge, when the morning had just risen in the east, and the white mist at the mouth of the mountain was steaming, and the clouds were dispersed, as if I were in a fairyland.
The Zhang brothers got out of the car first, looked left and right, and saw Zhang Jiayu spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, and his face was a little pale.
"No, where are all the people under this ridge?"
Zhang Sanjian was also wandering around.
"Yes, there were seven or eight brothers here last night! Could it be that a bunch of bastards are all strained! ”
I didn't bother to pay attention to them, it was better for no one to stop me, so that Young Master Ben would waste his tongue, I smiled at Alan and said, "Okay! I'm here too! Go back, Alain! ”
Alain raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face and smiled sweetly at me.
"Then young master, slow down on the road!"
I picked up my burden and walked up the stone staircase of Shijing Ridge, throwing off my big feet and trotting all the way.
As I ran, I felt as if someone was calling me, but I didn't pay attention to the matter of going back to the east, so I ran up for almost a quarter of an hour, but to my strange thing, I seemed to hear the voice shouting me again, and I thought it was quite strange, so I stopped and looked around for a moment.
I saw a petite figure emerge from the distance on the mountain road behind me.
This person is wearing a crescent-white short jacket, who else can he be if he is not Alain!
I didn't expect this girl to be chasing me for almost a quarter of an hour, and I didn't know what was going on, so I had to stop and wait for her.
Alan chased after me, and I realized that she was followed by the two Zhang brothers, and the two brothers were out of breath after her.
I looked at Alain and asked, "Alain, why are you chasing me?" ”
Ah handed me a bag of things, and gasped: "Young master, your burden has fallen on the car!" ”
I picked it up and looked at it, it turned out that it was the bag with two bottles of toilet water, and I secretly left it in Alain's car, but I didn't expect this girl to send it back to me.
I said angrily, "Didn't I give it to you!" You send me back, you girl is really! ”
Alain didn't say anything more, just smiled shyly.
Zhang Jiayu pointed to the burden in my hand and asked Alain, "I said you girl, you are chasing hard for this?" I thought something had happened to Young Master Lu! ”
Turning his head, he yelled at Zhang San again: "What are you chasing this girl for?" ”
Zhang San hurriedly sat down in front of me and shouted at Zhang Jiayu: "I said brother, didn't you run first?" When I saw you running away, I hurried after you! ”
Zhang Jiayu roared so much that the green tendons on his neck jumped: "If you chase it, chase it!" But what are you doing before me? ”
Zhang San hurriedly touched his head and smiled dumbly: "I thought something was wrong!" It's important to run for your life! So run for the worse! ”
Zhang Jia scolded angrily: "You unseeded soft egg!" You ran away, I thought something had happened to you! Run blindly too, exhausting me to death you! ”
I didn't bother to pay attention to these two fools, and stuffed the baggage to Alain.
"Keep it! I said I gave it to you! ”
Alain turned his hand and stuffed the burden into my backpack, and we both pushed and shoved for a while, when suddenly there was a "bang", "bang", "bang" on the stone staircase!
As soon as I subconsciously turned around, I saw several militia members running down from above, shouting: "** is coming!" **Come on! ”
The brothers of the Zhang family were also shocked when they saw it, and hurriedly took the guns, but they forgot to pull the bolts of these two guns, and their legs and stomachs trembled in fright!
There is a tall man in Xiangyong, I looked at it, this person turned out to be Zhong Guangyao, only to hear this dog's leg shouting even more hoarse.
"Run, brothers! Commander He called ** to kill! ”
A few villagers in the back shouted: "Commander He has braided his hair!" Run, brothers! ”
I saw that there was a chaos ahead, and hurriedly pulled Alan to jump down the stone stairway, but I didn't expect Zhong Guangyao to jump down with him, when the gunfire was loud, and the stray bullets crackled the bamboo branches beside us.
When this dog's legs were hugging his head and running around, he actually grabbed Alan and hugged this girl in front of him as a shield.
I was annoyed when I saw it, and I was about to go up to fight, but I didn't think of a "bang" gunshot, the bastard was stunned, and fell straight to the ground, and Alain was so frightened that he immediately screamed.
I looked down and saw that a shot had hit this bastard's head directly, only to see that there was a big hole in the bowl on this guy's head, bubbling with blood, and he couldn't die anymore!
"Whew", "Whew"!
A few more stray bullets flew over my head, and one of them hit the big bamboo I was leaning on, scattering a pile of bamboo scraps in all directions!
At this time, there was chaos around, some were shot and fell, some were holding their heads and rats were running, and some rolled down from the stone ladder road, anyway, I didn't even see the shadow of **, I saw the villagers of the militia running around.
Seeing that the two brothers of the Zhang family also crawled to my side, and the bullets flew everywhere, I was also in a hurry, sweating in my head, and hurriedly looked around, at this moment, my eyes lit up.
I met an acquaintance.
It's not right to say that it's an acquaintance, it's half an acquaintance.
I haven't even spoken to her, it's just a one-sided relationship, and at most half an acquaintance.
This person I saw when I was sheltering from the rain on the day I went home, and it was the old woman of the She tribe who suddenly disappeared.
There was a straightened mountain wall not far from the bamboo forest where I was hiding, and the old woman was walking against the mountain wall, and in a blink of an eye she disappeared into the corner of the mountain wall.
This corner is overgrown with a man-tall penny grass, and the grass is verdant and quite eye-catching.
At this time, a gust of mountain wind came to my face, I tiptoed to take a closer look, and saw that the grass was blown down by the mountain wind, and in the blink of an eye, I saw the situation behind the mountain wall, and it turned out that there was a mountain path hidden in the mountain wall here.
It must be that this old woman is an old mountain man in this mountain, so she knows the trail here, and this is a critical juncture.
At this moment, I can't allow me to think too much, I picked up Alan and ran there, just to remove the tall penny grass, I saw the two brothers of the Zhang family running after us, and then I heard the sound of pouring beans "suddenly".
I've seen this thing outside the sailor barracks of the Teochew British, and it's not a good thing!
This is the sound of Czech light machine gun fire!
said that it was too late, and then it was fast, and I saw that the hat on Zhang San's head was knocked out with a "poof".
And the stupid guy still stood there stupidly, obviously stunned.
This thing can beat people into a sieve in the blink of an eye!
In desperation, I grabbed the two brothers with both hands, dragged them into the haystack with all my might, turned my head and shouted at Alain: "Alain, go away!" ”
Alan was urged by me, and his heart became more anxious, so he rushed into the mountain trail with a tiger head, and I led the two brothers of the Zhang family to follow closely behind.
After running for about a stick of incense, I don't know how Alan walked, he actually came to a fork in the road, and the gunshots behind us were still coming one after another.
Later, the intersection became narrower and narrower, I couldn't help but be suspicious, looked around, and was shocked, only to see what kind of mountain road this is, it is clearly a dry stream!
To make matters worse, the creek spiraled down the mountainside, getting steeper and steeper, and with mossy stone walls on both sides, and there was nothing to scratch at the wet mud in our hands, and we couldn't stop at this point!
Alain also found out about this situation, panicked, and was out of breath for a while.
"Young Master, Alain is confused! It's a dead end! ”
"Don't panic!" I comforted her casually, but I was also muttering in my own heart, because the creek in front of me was getting steeper and steeper, and my head was jumping, and I subconsciously felt the danger ahead!
At this time, I heard Alain's "oops", and slipped to the ground after a stumble, and I grabbed her waist and slid her down in my arms!
At this time, due to the influence of inertia, and the moss left behind after the stream dries up, the mountain is going down again, and I don't know where the mountain stream leads, and the four of us are like arrows from the hyun, flying down the stream!
The Zhang brothers screamed hoarsely!
But I hugged Alan tightly in my arms and muttered nonsense: "Dad, mother, I won't mess around anymore!" No more fooling around......"
Alain listened to my broken thoughts, his eyes closed and clung to my heart.
We glided for a long distance until we plunged into a deep pool with a bang!
The force of this fall is extremely fast! Suddenly there was a splash!
I held my breath, hugged Alain with one hand, and struggled to swim with the other!
When I surfaced, I found that Alain was choking on the water and unconscious, and when I climbed to the shore, I hurriedly removed the debris from Alain's mouth, untied the neckline of the girl's short jacket, and put my hands into palms, without thinking about it, I hurriedly pressed her chest and pressed it more than a dozen times in a row, until Alain spit out the water choked into the trachea with a "whoosh", and finally panted evenly, and I finally felt at ease.
I was about to go back to look for the Zhang brothers, when I heard a strange "click" sound behind me!
I can hear it clearly, and I know it even more clearly in my heart, and I know this voice very well!
It's the sound of a bolt being loaded!
