Chapter 52: The Long Way Home
Shao Liang hurriedly explained: "Oh, Brother Si Fang, don't be so excessive, right? Although he wants to poison us, it is nothing more than greed for money, besides, aren't we okay now? You have already killed four people, is it enough?"
Shao Sifang looked at Shao Qi coldly and said, "It's not enough, and the medicine in this wine and dish is enough to kill you and me." β
"What? isn't it?" Shao Liang glanced at the white-bearded old man behind him in shock, but he didn't expect the white-bearded old man to nod in fear, which suddenly made Shao Liang a little embarrassed.
But Shao Liang thought about the old man with the white beard who wanted to save his heart before, and what he said, Shao Liang sighed, and continued to say to Shao Sifang: "Brother Si Fang, he is our coachman after all, why don't you do this? Just let him take us to Nan Shaozhou overnight, it can be regarded as his atonement, right?"
"Huh. Shao Sifang sneered: "Without him, we have to travel overnight, but his life must stay here, because he already knows where we are coming, and for the sake of safety, we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots." β
As soon as Shao Sifang's words landed, the white-bearded old man hurriedly cried: "Hero, don't worry! The old man will never say more when he goes out!
"Oh, it's a pity that I only believe that the dead don't talk much. Shao Sifang's killing intent became stronger and stronger.
Seeing this, Shao Liang angrily reprimanded: "Burn the Quartet! You're fucking enough! An old man, what are you doing with it? You might as well tell you that just now, he has actually confessed to me, and he is reminding you not to be poisoned, which can be regarded as a discovery of conscience, right? Listen to me, spare his life, let him continue to drive the car, and we will leave overnight!"
In the face of Shao Liang's angry rebuke, Shao Sifang was still expressionless, and then slowly approached Shao Qi's side, and said coldly: "You don't seem to know much about Yin Xuan Mountain. β
When the words fell, I saw Shao Sifang suddenly move his body and go directly behind Shao Qi at a very fast speed. Shao Liang didn't have time to react at all, and before he turned around, he heard a miserable scream behind him, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Shao Liang almost didn't have to look at it, and he already knew that the white-bearded old man had died in the hands of Shao Sifang.
But Shao Yu still turned around, and sure enough, he saw that the white-bearded old man was spilling blood from the corners of his mouth at this time, staring at frightened eyes, lying on the cold ground, motionless.
Shao Liang could clearly feel that his anger was rising.
"You're deaf, can't you hear Lao Tzu?" Shao Qi angrily pushed Shao Sifang.
Shao Sifang pushed Shao Liang away, and in the face of the angry Shao Liang, he still said in a cold voice with an expressionless face: "We chose to take a carriage on this trip, just to hide people's eyes and ears and not expose our identity, but you can also see that he knows our identity, so he will definitely die." β
"You're going to fucking die!" the young man roared angrily, "He's an old man, what can he threaten you? Grandma, you have to kill him? Do you know that there are still people in his family waiting for him to go back?"
"Oh, the words of the robbers, do not believe them. Shao Sifang was still expressionless.
However, the more expressionless Shao Sifang became, the more angry Shao Qi became. Immediately afterwards, I saw Shao Liang punch violently and wanted to smash Shao Sifang's body, but he didn't want to be grabbed by Shao Sifang, and then threw it back fiercely, stumbling Shao Qi.
"You fuck, Lao Tzu can't beat you, hmph, you wait for Lao Tzu, one day, Lao Tzu will beat you up!"
Shao Sifang nodded and said, "Clean up and hurry overnight." The words fell, and Shao Sifang took the lead in walking towards the stable.
"Chase your grandmother's leg!" Shao Qi pointed at Shao Sifang's back and cursed, but Shao Sifang was not painful, and then Shao Qi scolded a few more words, after seeing Shao Sifang's no reaction, Shao Qi also felt bored, so he stopped, sighed deeply, and then walked to the side of the white-bearded old man's body.
Shao Liang looked at the corpse of the white-bearded old man, and said helplessly and sympathetically: "Alas, I couldn't save you, because I was incapable, but ah, tell me about you, at such an age, why do you learn to be robbers from others? Do you know? What I hate the most are those bandits! Because my sister ...... Hey, don't talk about it!"
Shao Qi shook his head again and again, sighed again and again, then turned around and walked to the side, picked up a large pile of hay from the ground, and spread it all on the corpse of the white-bearded old man, and said at the same time: "I can't save your life, I can only protect your whole corpse, cover you under this, and the wild wolves in the mountains will not find you, alas......"
After another sigh, Shao Liang sorted out his thoughts, turned around and walked away, at this time Shao Sifang had already set up the carriage and was waiting outside the door of the post house. Shao Liang saw that in front of the carriage, there were four translucent lanterns hanging at this time, which were supposed to be used for night lighting, but Shao Liang looked up at the sky, and the moon had already climbed up the treetops, and there was a bright moonlight illumination, but it was not in the dark.
After walking out of the post house, Shao Liang ignored Shao Sifang, but directly took three steps and two steps, climbed into the carriage in one go, and went straight into the carriage.
Shao Sifang didn't mind anything, as if he had already planned it, he acted as a coachman, took Shao Qi, and began to hurry overnight.
After the carriage galloped for a while, Shao Liang lifted the small window of the carriage and saw the night scene outside, at this time it should still be in the deep mountains, the considerable distance of sight is very short, and it is pitch black in the distance, but you can feel the ethereal spirit in the deep mountains, you can find it from the echo of the horse's hooves that wander continuously, and the birdsong from time to time in the deep mountains makes it seem how empty and silent it is, but Shao Liang enjoys this emptiness and silence, because it can calm down his heartγ
Gradually, Shao Liang left the death of the white-bearded old man behind, and it turned out that no amount of entanglement was useless, only blaming himself for not being able enough, so Shao Liang had to stop thinking about it, saving himself from finding depression, and what was replaced by Shao Liang was to imagine the scene after arriving in the Nine Pole Gate, would the Yao Luhua still recognize himself? Will the annoying senior brother of the Yao Luhua bully himself? And what does the Yao Changchuan, the master of the Jiuji Gate, look like? And the Qiu Ru who made Liu Hanxian think about it day and night, what kind of posture is it?
Wait, wait, the more Shao Liang thought about it, the more fascinated he became, as if he was already in the Nine Poles Gate now, and he had already mixed with those so-called senior brothers, just with this wonderful imagination, Shao Liang fell asleep in a drowsy, and the constant sound of horses' hooves did not disturb Shao Liang in his sleep.
The time of the night, slow to say, fast is also very fast, for the current Shao Qi, that is very fast, because just after Shao Liang slept and woke up, the sky was already transparent, and the endless night had long been dispelled, replaced by warm sunshine and gentle morning breeze.
However, the sound of horses' hooves kept coming.
Shao Qi rubbed his eyes, deducted the dirt from the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly lifted the small window cloth of the carriage, wanting to see the situation outside. When Shao Liang saw the situation outside, he couldn't help but be shocked, and at the same time even more surprised, because the scenery outside is very familiar to him, and it is a scene that he thinks about day and night.
At this moment, Shao Sifang, who was driving the car, seemed to hear the movement in the carriage, so he said to the young man in the carriage: "Wake up, aren't you? Prepare, we are about to enter the city." β
"Got it. Shao Liang replied coldly, the death of the white-bearded old man last night, Shao Qi was still a little angry.
But Shao Liang did not prepare anything, but still lifted the small window cloth, looking at the scenery outside, not far away, the outline of the city of Nan Shaozhou has faintly appeared, and on the left and right sides of the carriage, from time to time can still pass by a lot of passers-by, thinking that they should be from the city of Nan Shaozhou, seeing these, Shao Liang can't help but sigh, can finally return to his own young tailor shop.
However, Shao Liang's idea had just poured out, but Shao Sifang, who was driving the car, seemed to have spied into Shao Qi's heart, and said out at an inopportune time: "Hey, let's wait to enter the city and go directly to the Nine Pole Gate, you must apprentice today!"
"I'm the next Ao!" Shao Qi scolded secretly, then got up and opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at Shao Sifang, who was not tired at this time, and scolded angrily: "Do you have any fucking humanity? Can't you let Lao Tzu go home first?"
Shao Sifang didn't even look back and said, "This is Liu Ye's arrangement." β
"Go to the fuck's arrangement! Lao Tzu has arrived in Nanshazhou, can't he go home to see it yet? Leave him alone! Lao Tzu must go home first! Then say something about apprenticeship or not!" Shao Qi said angrily.
However, Shao Sifang still said without looking back: "That will only expose your identity and affect the task, if you have to go your own way, I can only use tough measures." β
"You...... Fuck you, brute!" Shao Qi gritted his teeth, but at the same time, Shao Qi's heart began to feel lost, and it seemed that it was difficult to realize his wish to go back to Shao's tailor's shop.
However, Shao Sifang ignored Shao Liang's abuse, and still drove the carriage peacefully towards Nanyaozhou.
Shao Liang was very helpless, I wanted to fight for it again, but I remembered Shao Sifang's dead fish face, and I was suddenly not interested, and I no longer had much hope for a trip back to Shao's tailor shop, but Shao Liang had his own plans.
"Don't you want to go to the Nine Poles Gate first? Yes, hurry up and get the map, Lao Tzu will go wherever he wants in exchange for personal freedom! See who dares to stop Lao Tzu again!" Shao Qi thought indignantly in his heart, and at the same time his thoughts turned back to the imagination of the Nine Pole Gate.
Before you know it, the city gate of Nanshazhou is approaching......
