Let Liu Laosan delay, the sky is close to dusk, the three of them dare not slack off, immediately pack up their things and prepare to leave, Yuanmei looked at the sky and said: "Even if it is a fast horse, I am afraid it will take about three days to get to Qiucheng", I and the second master listened, and then cut two arm-thick branches, the gauze was gone, so I had to pull down the sleeves, pour kerosene on it, and make it into a torch to prepare for the night road.

According to what Liu Laosan said, it proved that Yuanmei's previous inference was correct, and sure enough, Zeng Weiguo had already notified it, but fortunately he knew it in advance by mistake, otherwise, wouldn't it be self-defeating to create it recklessly.

Along the way, the three of them lowered their heads and hurried silently, everyone was not calm in their hearts, one was that Liu Laosan's matter made people feel uncomfortable like a fish in their throats, and the other was that they knew that the front was full of murderous opportunities, but there was no way back.

The sky gradually darkened, the three of them lit two torches, galloping all the way, the closer to Qiucheng, the tighter the strings in the brain, which ignored the stomach, the whole day of water and rice did not enter, actually did not feel hungry, when approaching Qiucheng, Yuanmei instructed us to slow down, extinguish the torches, and quietly go to the county seat.

The woods on both sides of the avenue are pitch black, blown by the wind, rattling, fortunately, the moon and stars in the sky are sparse, the avenue is bright and white, over a mound, below is the county seat of Qiucheng, from the vague outline, the county seat is really not big, but although it has passed the second watch, the city is still shining with sparse lights, not as Liu Laosan said.

Yuanmei hit the head in front, and the three of them opened a certain distance, lest there would be a hidden sentry nearby, and sure enough, seeing that they were about to reach the edge of the county, four or five people suddenly jumped out of the woods on the side, wrapping us in the middle, and the head was a diagonal box cannon, a young man wearing a black silk short coat, only to see that he was holding a box cannon made by Hanyang in his right hand, holding a flashlight in his left hand, and several people behind him were holding big knives and carrying earthen guns.

The man picked up the gun, shouted something, and when we stopped, he shouted a series of dialects, and when he found that the three of us didn't understand, he said in a broken official voice, "What are you doing?" ”

The second master and I took a step back, hiding ourselves in the darkness as much as possible, and the two of us stood side by side, each examining the person in front of him, thinking in his heart which one to take first if he started to do it.

Yuanmei sneered, and slowly walked over to the questioner and said, "Big brother, we are passing by, let's see if we can make it convenient." As he spoke, he took out a few big men from his body and handed them over.

"Fuck, don't come to this set" The questioner scolded angrily, and my hands and the second master began to slowly touch our heads, ready to draw a knife at any time, even if the other party has a gun in his hand, but looking at the posture of holding the gun, I know that it is some untrained township people, even if it is to deal with these people with bare hands, there is still a certain certainty.

"One person has ten eldest sons, and even one less is not good."

As soon as I heard this, the three of us were stunned, this man was panting for breath, and if he spoke a little later, it was estimated that there would be five dead bodies lying on the ground, which made me nervous for a long time.

Yuan Mei readily agreed, hurriedly grabbed another handful of money from her body, counted dozens of big sons, handed it over, spoke this kid, took the money, and shone Yuan Mei with a flashlight, and instantly smiled on her face, and when she collected the money, she took the opportunity to touch Yuan Mei's hand, and then counted the big son one by one in a hurry, and when the count was finished, but there was no intention of letting go, and said to Yuan Mei with a lewd smile: "You guys are hurrying into the city at this hour, I'm afraid you are doing a secret door, I guess right?" The two people in the back who carry swords and swords are probably planning to make an immortal jump? ”

When Yuanmei heard this, her face immediately turned red, and I saw her hand slowly clenched into a fist in the back, I hurriedly stepped forward, pushed her behind her, and said with a smile: "Big brother has good eyesight, I heard that we have a big man coming in a few days, don't we want to take down first, and wait until the time comes to take on a few big jobs and make a meal." ”

"Ho, it's worthy of walking the rivers and lakes, the ears are quite long, who gave you the letter?" ”

As soon as I heard it, my heart was broken, as the saying goes, if you say too much, you will lose, and I was secretly worried about how to take this word, Yuanmei was stunned and said, "Liu Laosan said it." ”

As soon as I heard that it was Liu Laosan, the person who asked him smiled: "I guess it's the old thief skin, listen to my brother's advice, don't say you know him when you enter the city, save trouble, by the way, you go directly to Daiwang Lane after entering the city, it is the biggest fireworks field in the entire Autumn City, if you go, it must be the top card, ah, sister, my brother will definitely go to your field when the time comes." ”

Yuanmei sweetly agreed: "Hey", with a wave of his hand, the three of them went straight to the county seat, when they passed by the leader, this person also gently touched Yuanmei's hand, Yuanmei also threw a wink at him, and I and the second master couldn't help but tremble, and there was a kind of horror that the white-robed female corpse suddenly opened her eyes.

Walking out more than a dozen steps away, the man still used the flashlight to help us light the way, Yuan Mei turned around and waved at him, the man also waved his hand stupidly, until he couldn't see the flashlight, the second master said in a very admiring tone: "I didn't expect Commander Li to have this trick, it's really an eye-opener for me today, admire and admire", Yuan Mei only popped out two words from between her teeth: "Shut up!" ”

When they arrived at the intersection of the county seat, the three people stopped, squatted in the woods on the side, quietly looked at the city, and waited for about a cigarette, a team of people turned on flashlights, lined up and walked slowly from the front, judging from the dress and the gun on their shoulders, it should be the same security team belonging to the county as those who blocked the road before.

Since I don't know how many patrols there are, waiting for them to pass by, we didn't dare to come out immediately, Yuanmei lowered her voice and said: "It seems that Zeng Weiguo only sent a telegram, but he didn't ask the nearby people to rush to help here, you see, there are more than a dozen of them, only two flashlights, and many people only carry machetes and earthen guns, and even the basic equipment level of the national army can't reach it, so I think that the patrol team at night is just a decoration, just like the secret sentry on the mountain, and the real main force has not yet arrived, in this case, we just need to be careful everywhere." , I should be fine tonight, and I will leave early tomorrow morning when I have purchased the necessary supplies. ”

"And where to stay tonight?" "At this point, my stomach began to protest.

"Didn't people introduce them to Daiwang Lane, oops" Before the second master finished speaking, he was pinched heavily on his arm, and he sucked in pain.

I thought for a while and said: "Master Li, I think what the second master said is really a way, you see, this Qiucheng is not a big place, if it is you, if you want to arrest someone, where will you stare at first?" ”

"Inn? Yuanmei suddenly realized.

"That's right, you also said, we just need to survive tonight, now this hour, the inn must have been closed a long time ago, we rashly knocked on the door to live in the store, and then let the kitchen cook some food, so tossed, it will inevitably cause the store to be vigilant, besides, you look at our appearance, in addition to you are also neater, we have long been unclothed, so in addition to eating and staying in the hotel, we also have to think of two clothes, you said that you can eat at this time, you can live in the store, and there is a place for clothes to steal, and it can only be Daiwang Lane." ”

Yuanmei thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter if I go, but I don't know where this place is." ”

The second master suddenly shushed and said, "Look, the one who led the way is here." ”

I saw a not very bright point of light in the distance towards us, the speed was very fast, it seemed that the person who came was in a hurry, when he was about to get closer, he suddenly turned to the left, and disappeared, the second master said: "Go" and jumped out of the woods, chasing towards the place where the light point disappeared.

Yuanmei and I didn't figure out what was going on at all, so we had to follow him in a daze, turning left and right in the alley that only allowed two people side by side, both sides were low, brushed with ** bungalows, the windows were all pitch black, it seemed that the people nearby had already rested, and after a while, the eyes suddenly lit up, and the three of us stood outside an alley where four or five people were side by side.

There is a red lantern hanging in every house in the alley, and there are one or two women standing at the door with frivolous expressions and tired faces, there is no one in the alley, and the point of light just now is gone, it seems that this should be the so-called Daiwang Lane.

I asked the second master curiously, "How do you know that person is coming here?" ”

He said with a wicked smile: "I don't sleep at night, I sneak out, what do you say?" ”

"What if there is a sick person in the family and you are in a hurry to get a doctor?" Looking at his determined face, Yuanmei was a little unconvinced.

"Who's in a hurry to ask the doctor to get such a small lantern?" Not afraid of breaking your front teeth? ”

Yuanmei pursed her lips, although the facts were in front of her, her face was still unconvinced.

"How do we get in?" Do you really want Li to be in charge? Before I could finish my sentence, two terrifying cold lights shot in, and I swallowed my words back in fright.

"Pull it, the newcomers have to give a dismount first, and if you don't get it right, you will let the guests pick up the guests on the same day, if you don't follow, there are more ways to rectify the girl there, just our Commander Li's temper, it is estimated that after a while, there will be a bloody green building."

In this way, Xiaofeng, you give me all the things, we will be your followers, you go in front, we will follow behind, give, this hand is upside down, it must be upside down, you know? As he spoke, he took out three pieces of ocean from his pocket, and two more from Yuanmei, and handed them to me.

"So many homes, where are we going?" I asked, staring at the red lanterns.

"Do you still need to ask?" I have to eat, bathe, sleep, steal clothes, and I have to go to the biggest house. ”

"How do you know which one is bigger?" Why do I see the same? ”

"I'll leave this matter to me, just keep talking." ”

After speaking, the three of them acted according to the plan, I gave everything to the second master, he carried the knife on his back, Yuanmei carried the sword on his back, I was empty, with the silver dollar in my hand, and the three of them slowly walked into Daiwang Lane.

The first time I entered this kind of place, my heart was up and down, although the clothes on my body were quite complete, but it was compared to the second master, the left sleeve had been torn off and lit a torch, and the right one was also scraped a fist-sized hole at some point, from the shoulder to the elbow, from head to toe, even the shoes were a layer of white ashes, just this look, to ask for food is almost the same, to go to the kiln, and to go to the biggest, if not beaten out, even if the guy is blind.

But it turned out that I thought too much, and the women who were standing at the door didn't look at me at all, just stared at the silver dollars that were flying up and down in their hands, and rushed over, holding their saliva, and shouting at the silver dollars: "Yo, which son, come, come in and sit." ”

I was startled, I wanted to dodge, as soon as I moved, the second master pressed my shoulder behind me, and then he took out a big son, walked up to a woman with a hippie smile and said, "Good sister, we want to find the biggest one, bother to show me the way?" ”

The woman's mouth was crooked, and she said sourly: "Yo, you still don't look down on us, what's wrong with us?" It's no worse than that Sufang Pavilion, and we all have what he has. ”

"That's, I already saw that my sister is a good way, it's okay, when my young master is settled, I'll come to my sister, okay?" The second master looked at the woman with a lewd smile.

The woman looked him up and down, snorted coldly, and pointed forward casually with her hand, and before we could see what she was referring to, she snatched the eldest son from the second master's hand, and ran into the door with a smile.

The second master turned his head, snorted angrily in the direction she just pointed, and motioned to continue walking, Yuanmei and I looked at him with an extremely contemptuous look, and he said disapprehantly: "Look at what, this is called seeing people talking about people, and talking nonsense when you see ghosts, you are talking to Sister Yao, that's a dog with a chew, blind Hule." ”

Yuanmei and I glanced at each other, shrugged our shoulders, and walked in the direction of the finger, this walk went all the way to the end of the alley, looking at the darkness in front of me, I asked the second master: "Have we been deceived?" ”

"I don't know, in this way, you two don't move, I'll go to the front to take a look", after saying that, he flashed into the darkness, and after a while, he heard him run back, and when he got closer, he said: "That's right, turn around in front, the gate is old-fashioned, go quickly." ”

The three of them hurriedly walked to the corner, and just about to turn around, the second master grabbed me: "Don't worry, you breathe first, you are the young master now, which young master have you seen in a hurry." ”

I asked him in turn, "Which young master have you ever seen dressed like me?" ”

"What's wrong with you?" Isn't it good? After he finished speaking, he looked me up and down again, and muttered as he watched: "But it seems to be a little miserable, when did you pull such a big hole in your sleeve?" Why didn't I see it, ah, it's good, it's good, hey, it's a big night, they can't see clearly, besides, these people, they only look at money and don't look at people, as long as you take the money, you are shirtless, and you are also a master. ”

After listening to him, I completely became a deflated ball, and I had no bottom in my heart, but there was no other way in front of me but to bite the bullet.
