Chapter Seventy-Five: Night
The warm sun pours down, but it is not warm at all when it is wrapped in the wind, but it is bitterly cold, and it is always cold when the winter snow melts. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Chen Bo and Zhang Gui stopped crying, the wheels ran over puddles, over muddy ground, and rolled forward, they didn't dare to stop.
It wasn't until twilight fell that the team really stopped, the old man was tired, and the young man had never walked so far in a day. Lin Xiuning's hand was raised to signal "stop", and someone shouted with relief, and sat on the ground regardless of the image.
However, this is only the beginning, the legs and feet will be more sore at dawn, and the journey will become shorter and shorter every day, just like walking on a sharp blade and walking into a thorn forest, every minute and every second makes it difficult to move an inch.
Patrolling, lighting fires, and guarding, everyone has their own duties, and tonight the people of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau will spend the night in a grove of about two acres. The gaffes of the two old men during the day had aroused the suspicion of the young people, and more than a dozen people chose to leave after some negotiation with Lin Xiuning.
If it weren't for Lin Xiuning's willingness to double the monthly money and pay a few taels of silver in advance, the eight people who stayed would have returned to Jianghuai City with the few people who left.
Six old men scattered in the woods, each two meters apart, circled the eleven people gathered around the campfire. Not everyone is as old as Zhang Gui and Chen Bo, but they are indeed not as energetic as when they were in their prime, and some even have mutilated their fingers or lost their eyes.
They are all from poor families, and they will naturally have no complaints if they nibble on some dry and hard bread. Not everyone is for money, some people come with the idea of getting ahead, and their cultivation talent is not satisfactory, and the dart game may be able to break a way.
So, after eating the bread in their hands and drinking the water, they went into the woods, hoping to gain some experience from the old man who was on guard.
Su Xiaoqi said hello to Kou Chen, who was sitting next to him, got up and patted his ass and also got into the forest, he saw a little fire flickering in the shadow of the dry tree from a distance, and it was not difficult to find Zhang Gui.
"Senior Zhang is tired?" Su Xiaoqi slowly approached the back of the rickets and said, "Do you want me to keep watch for you for a while?"
"You?" Zhang Gui sneered without turning his head, "The next day we were corpses." ”
Su Xiaoqi shook his head helplessly, walked to Zhang Gui's side, and said worriedly: "Can we really go to Lezhou safely?"
"Yes. Zhang Gui first replied with a firm word, and then puffed up his cigarette holder in frustration, "Of course you can." ”
Su Xiaoqi sighed, leaning on a pine tree and looking out of the forest.
"I thought you would leave, why do you want to stay?" Zhang Gui looked at Su Xiaoqi seriously.
Su Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Maybe I'm afraid of living a poor life and want to seize every opportunity to get ahead?" Or maybe I want to gamble?"
Zhang Gui sighed: "People will become confused when they get old, I shouldn't tell you too much." ”
Su Xiaoqi smiled: "Since you have said so much, why don't you say more?"
Zhang Gui looked at Su Xiaoqi with a smile in his eyes and said, "What else do you want to know?"
"There will always be people who have been favored by the boss's dart head, why did they all take refuge in Judge?
"Initially they wanted to stay. Zhang Gui said depressedly: "But the darts were obstructed by Jia Qi everywhere, Xiuning didn't understand anything and wanted to take care of everything, he should have avoided the limelight and rectified the interior, but he kept receiving darts and darts, and in the end, the people's hearts were scattered, and they all left the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau." ”
"They don't have to go to the game. Zhang Gui continued: "But Jiang Huaicheng used to be the dominant family of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, and there was no Dart Bureau to survive at all. Now in addition to Shengyuan is Zhenyuan, where can they go except to Shengyuan to find a way to live?
Many things in life are helpless choices. ”
Su Xiaoqi sighed empathetically, and said strangely: "I haven't received a dart for so long, why is someone suddenly holding a dart?"
"It's a friend of the boss's darthead. The fire in the smoke pot suddenly brightened, and the e-liquid squeaked, Zhang Gui did not spit out the cigarette, but swallowed it into his stomach.
Long exhaled, Zhang Gui said: "The dart is from Lao Chen's knees, and if you don't take the dart, the Zhenyuan dart game will really be over." ”
"But Judge ......"
"That's right, Judge will definitely come. Zhang Gui's face showed a hint of ruthlessness, but he said helplessly: "So we put down the dart flag, and the road we walked in a big circle, Shengyuan dart game is busy every day, and when they notice us, we should be able to rush to Lezhou." ”
"It's too risky to do that. ”
"Yes, it's risky. Zhang Gui clenched his cigarette stick tightly and said, "If you blindly seek stability, you will really have no way to live." ”
"After sending this dart, there is a way to live?" Su Xiaoqi disagreed.
"If we send the dart to Lezhou, we will have silver, so that we can find the dart master again, so that we can secretly send a few darts, and the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau can come back to life!" Zhang Gui's face turned red with excitement.
"It was the new chief dart head who drove the Zhenyuan dart bureau to a dead end, and you still trust her now?"
Zhang Gui smiled, pursed his lips, and said, "People make mistakes, and she already knows her mistakes."
"I believe it. Zhang Gui's face bloomed with a smile again, and said: "The Zhenyuan Dart Bureau will definitely make a comeback, and I will see it clearly with these blurred eyes." ”
Su Xiaoqi didn't reply, but looked out of the dark forest, is there a sharp blade waiting to drink blood hidden in the dark?
In the end, the two of them were speechless, and waited for the dark clouds that covered the crescent moon to disperse, and saw that the bleak moonlight was again obscured by the dark clouds that gathered.
Before I knew it, in the middle of the night, I could faintly hear the sound of firewood popping and the whispers of being wrapped in the wind in the silent forest.
With spiritual protection, I don't feel cold, but I can't bear it.
Zhang Gui sat on the ground and smoked a few tubes of cigarettes, but kept yawning, and finally couldn't bear the eyelids of fighting up and down, got up and smiled bitterly at Su Xiaoqi: "People have to serve the old, in the past, I relied on this cigarette pouch to stay up for a few nights and was energetic, but now when I lie back, I feel that my eyelids can't be opened." ”
"Go to sleep. Su Xiaoqi's eyes were still shining, and he said with a smile: "I'm young." ”
Zhang Gui was stunned and immediately praised: "You will become a good dart head." ”
"Of course. Su Xiaoqi blinked.
Zhang Gui looked up at the sky and said, "It should be bright in two hours, okay, I'll go to sleep, and I'll leave it to you." ”
Su Xiaoqi waved his hand, but just as Zhang Gui took five steps, Su Xiaoqi's heart suddenly tightened, his scalp exploded in an instant, and he turned around and shouted: "Avoid it!!"
However, a few bits of salty liquid splashed on his face.
