18 Into the Tiger's Den
There may be many coincidences in the world, but the elder Wei didn't think that the boatman he saw happened to be injured in his right hand.
Two of the people he stabbed in the right hand with an awl were the former bandit "Drill Mountain Leopard" and the other was a guy from a roadside wild shop. If you can't go by water, then continue along the dry road, and there is a mountain in front of you.
Plagiarism Ridge in a certain place in Hunan is known for being a bandit, and he has heard of it for a long time.
There is only one way to cross the ridge, the baby in Gong Qingzhen's arms began to cry, the old Wei got off the donkey, looked at the mountain, Xiao Xu saw this inscription, and said: "Comrade Wei Da Lao, why don't we turn around and go back?" ”
Elder Wei didn't answer, but closed his right eye and looked up the mountain, he saw a group of bandits standing at the door of the cottage halfway up the mountain, each of these bandits was holding a spear, led by a one-eyed strong man with a box cannon in his waist.
The "Diamond Mountain Leopard" and the Yedian guys are here, one left and one right by the one-eyed dragon's side, as if they are waiting for them to arrive.
Da Lao Wei continued to look into the cottage, and saw that behind the gate of the cottage there were two stone jars carved from stone, and on the slopes leading to the cottage on both sides of the hill were the eyeliner of the one-eyed dragon.
Gong Qingzhen coaxed the child and proposed to the eldest elder Wei: "I feel that this mountain in front of me is very dangerous, why don't we go around?" ”
Elder Wei opened his eyes and said with a resolute face: "No, we must overcome some difficulties, and some enemies must be solved!" ”
Gong Qingzhen and Xiao Xu nodded in response, and the elder Wei continued: "I'm going to go now for convenience, you stay here and don't leave!" ”
The two agreed, and the elder Wei turned over and got off the donkey, walked towards the side of the mountain road, turned a corner, and then closed his eyes and looked around.
"No, it can't be, there will be!" He continued to climb up the mountain, and beside a bluestone, he stopped, opened his eyes, and struck the bluestone three times with a wave of his palm.
A strong wind blew, rolling up the weeds on the ground, and when the elder Wei closed his eyes, he saw a shadow behind the bluestone, and if he looked closely, it was a mountain god holding a snake in his hand.
The mountain god was dressed in a long robe, wearing a black leather hat, his face was dark, and he opened his mouth to reprimand him: "Where is the person who comes is sacred, and he actually knows where my mountain god is?" ”
"Because I believe in your existence, I came to you for help!" The elder Wei was calm.
The mountain god shook his head and said, "The gods and ghosts have different paths, I can't help you!" ”
Da Lao Wei responded: "I am a human being, not a ghost, you must know the bandits on this mountain." ”
The mountain god played with the poisonous snake in his hand and replied slowly, "Yes, I can't interfere with people's behavior, let alone slaughter people. ”
Elder Wei explained unhurriedly: "I didn't ask the mountain god to help me destroy this group of bandits, but asked the mountain god to protect my companions, two women and two newborn babies!" I'm here to destroy these bandits. ”
The mountain god couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, then stared at him up and down carefully, and commented: "Although you look old, you are in your youth, your muscles are strong and stiff, you must have received special training, and you have also been opened to yin and yang eyes, so you can see one-eye farsightedness and perspective, and you can also see ghosts and gods, but you are bare-handed, and you want to deal with a group of ruthless bandits with guns and knives, you are asking for your own death!" ”
Elder Wei still insisted: "As long as the mountain god is willing to protect my companions secretly, I will definitely be able to deal with these bandits." Not only are they a big problem for the locals, but they are also a shame for you! ”
The mountain god said in disbelief: "Come on, even the officials and soldiers are helpless to take this group of bandits, you still want to single out these bandits, if you are not afraid of death, just go!" ”
"I hope that the mountain god will protect my companions, I have already put life and death on the line!" Elder Wei bowed to the mountain god.
The mountain god stepped back and disappeared into the bluestone.
Xiao Xu's call came from the bottom of the hillside: "Old Wei, haven't you finished it yet?" ”
Elder Wei hurriedly responded: "Okay, I'll be fine!" ”
Back at the mountain intersection, the elder Wei turned over the donkey and said to the two companions: "Wait until you enter the stockade, you have to hold the child tightly, I will hide you in the stone jar, you don't have to be afraid, when I finish negotiating with these bandits, I will naturally save you!" ”
"Negotiations?" Gong Qingzhen looked questioning.
Elder Wei said: "Of course, there is no grievance in the world that cannot be resolved through negotiation!" ”
Xiao Xu said, "Since you want to negotiate with these bandits, why don't you dare to let us be present?" ”
"I'm afraid that if the talks break down, these bandits will be bad for you! Remember not to panic, I'll be fine! "Old Wei drove the donkey forward.
Gong Qingzhen rode a mule and chased after him, "Old Wei, let's take a detour!" ”
Xiao Xu was also worried, but the sky was gloomy, and it was either going to rain or snow on this day.
Elder Wei said resolutely: "We can't take a detour, and we can't wait, otherwise the snow will close the mountain, and we won't have a chance to pass!" ”
He rode on the back of a donkey, and with his eyes closed, he looked out over the hillside on either side, where the one-eyed dragon's eyeliner was hidden in the dead grass.
A piece of dead grass shook, and the elder Wei immediately said to his companions: "Do you think there will be hares in the dead grass on the hillside?" ”
"Probably, right? If we have a gun, we can shoot a hare to eat! Xiao Xu looked greedy, forgetting the danger here.
The elder Wei turned over and got off the donkey, picked up some gravel from the ground, turned over on the donkey again, and said, "It's a pity that we didn't bring guns, I'll see if there is a hare in the grass?" ”
He grabbed a stone, closed his right eye, flicked his wrist hard, and struck it into the dead grass.
The stone hit the temple of the one-eyed dragon's eyeliner. This minion didn't have time to scream, so he died.
The elder Wei showed a smug smile, he continued to play the donkey, and when he saw movement in the dead grass, he threw out the stones, and when they came to the gate of the cottage, he had already used the stones to solve the six eyeliners arranged by the one-eyed dragon.
The door of the cottage was open, but there was no one to be seen.
Xiao Xu screamed, pointed to a human head on the horizontal frame of the cottage gate and said, "Look! ”
But Gong Qingzhen and Xiao Xu hurriedly covered their eyes and didn't dare to look.
A string of blood continued to drip down, and the elder Wei looked up at the human head.
This man hides his face with long hair, I don't know who it is?
But the elder Wei closed his eyes and saw the obscene face of the shopkeeper through the deceased's long hair.
This group of bandits even killed their own people, the elder Wei held his breath, and then from the cottage came the sound of unbridled laughter, and the one-eyed dragon carried a bloody machete and walked out surrounded by minions.
Gong Qingzhen and Xiao Xu looked frightened.
The elder Wei said without changing his face: "The younger brother passed by Guishan Village with his family today, and came to visit, these two mules together with a bantam horse and this donkey are all gifts from the younger brother to the owner of the village!" ”
The one-eyed dragon was a little surprised when he heard this, and then said: "I finally met a passer-by who knows each other, since the guest is so bold, then please come to the village!" ”
The eldest elder Wei got off the donkey and helped Gong Qingzhen and Xiao Xu off the mule.
The two women secretly pulled the placket of his back shirt and signaled him not to enter the stockade, but the elder Wei still walked into the stockade with his head held high.
When passing by the two stone jars in the village, the elder Wei deliberately looked into the stone jars, which were empty, but one stone jar weighed at least three or four hundred catties.
On both sides of the aisle, wild fruits and game from the mountains are dried, and a complete wolfskin sleeve is hung on the wooden stake outside the main hall, that is, a complete wolf's skin hangs under the head of a complete wolf.
Xiao Xu's breathing began to become short, and Gong Qingzhen's forehead also sweated.
However, the one-eyed dragon has been carrying a machete in his hand, Gong Qingzhen said "ah", the elder Wei looked towards the left side of the main entrance, and the one-eyed dragon introduced without scruples: "This guy is our brother, but he betrayed me, this is what happened to him, and his head is hanging on the door!" ”
They raised their feet and entered the main hall, where a portrait of Guan Erye was hung and incense was applied.
The one-eyed dragon sat down on the side of the wooden case, and invited the elder Wei to sit with him.
The eldest elder Wei sat down on the circle chair, and the two women held the child and stood on either side behind him.
"Come on, serve wine to this hero!" The one-eyed dragon commanded.
These minions responded, and the one-eyed dragon asked the elder Wei: "I haven't asked the distinguished guest for his name, how to call it?" ”
