XLVIII. Leave behind the money to buy the road
The sound of horses' hooves clattering on the solid dirt road, although it is not as good as a stone paved pipe, but it is also the best road that can be walked between villages and towns, the tamped soil is mixed with rice milk, even if it is rainstorm, it will not be much muddy, and only the rich Dayao South has the manpower, material and financial resources to complete such a project.
The middle-aged man on the horse was wearing a thick fur coat, and for the two hundred catties of meat on his body, it was a little aggrieved to be wrapped in such a tight clothes, compared to the young man behind him, the situation of the two horses could be said to be very different, and the latter could still shake the horsetail and snort, and the former could only rivet enough to support the four hooves in order to barely bear the weight on his back.
This time, Qian Er Ye didn't bring the mountain gun, too ostentatious is one of them, Zhang Wu's request is the second, the old man pointed at him and scolded, practice a seven, eight or nine to make that gun, otherwise you will be embarrassed. Therefore, Qian Erye is just equipped with a knife, as for Wei Changpan, it is more convenient to play with knives and guns or a hoe and sickle, so it is just bare-handed.
It is more than ten miles away from Qishan County, and the continuous mountains will finally come to an end, but Qian Erye thinks that the road is winding and winding, so he plans to take a trail.
This treaty is not a woodcutter who goes up and down the ground, and the farmer and the farmer have stepped out of the trail, and it is difficult for two people to be parallel, and even the hooves of the horse must be careful, otherwise there is a risk of even people and horses falling on their backs.
Just as Wei Changpan was paying attention to the ground under the horse's hooves, he suddenly heard some movement in the grass beside the road, and immediately became vigilant. In this season, most of the fierce beasts in the mountains are hungry, and tigers and leopards will have the courage to come down the mountain to steal the fat pigs that the village farmers have worked hard to raise for a year, and there are many cases of biting people.
He took out the dagger in his arms and tried the blade with his fingers, but it was still as fast as he could see the blood.
Wei Changpan didn't make a sound to remind Second Master Qian, who seemed to be unaware of it, since he was aware of it, he would definitely not be able to escape the master's ears, and it was necessary to test his reaction.
Half of his body pressed against the horse, adjusting his posture to make it easier to exert force, Wei Changpan clenched the reins of the horse with his left hand, and held the dagger behind his back with his right hand, ready to respond to attacks from both sides of the path.
Just looking at Qian Erye's calm appearance, Wei Changpan couldn't tell if he was too loud and angry, and he was not calm when he encountered the slightest movement.
It stands to reason that a horse's nose is far brighter than a man's, and if there were any beasts lurking on the side of the road, they should have been frightened....
A person came out of the cold road and pestled in the middle of the path, almost without startling the horse, and a person came out of each side of the path, blocking the retreat.
"I'm driving this way. The lean man in front of him said.
"I planted this tree. One of the blockades said.
"If you want to cross this road, stay.... Stay, what to keep?"
"Buy road wealth, a melon peel!" The short, equally thin man next to him jumped up angrily, stretched out his hand and slapped him on the back of the head.
"What are you doing to beat Lao Tzu. The man who was beaten covered the back of his head and complained, he was especially tall compared to the previous two, and he was only a head shorter than Wei Changpan on horseback.
"You are a fierce shovel...."The one who stopped in front of the path also joined the dispute, leaving Wei Changpan and Qian Er Ye aside to cool off.
Wei Changpan looked at Qian Erye's face that was gradually stunned, and wondered if he had encountered some stabbing role, so he took out twelve points of spirit to deal with it, but since these three people were just blocking the road and did not make any actual moves, it was a big deal that the two sides were safe.
"God pinch, I don't know what I'm doing. The lean man in front of him seemed to be the leader of the three, and scolded, "What are we going to do when we come out?"
"What are you doing?" asked the tall man, holding the back of his head.
....
"You turtle! The short man had to jump up to get a shot on the back of the thin man's head, "It's so tall and towering, it's useless! ”
Wei Changpan, who could hear the words of these men, couldn't wait to cover his face, these grass cowards with foreign accents were too much.... It's a little more pleasing.
He could not help but burst out laughing, and the three thieves finally realized how foolish it was for them to argue so much in front of the person they had been robbed, and each of them took out his weapon, which he said was nothing more than a sharpened woodcutter and a pitchfork.
Looking at the three grass cowards who came up, Wei Changpan stopped laughing, and began to look at the three of them seriously, although the tall man was skinny and skinny, his steps were still calm, and he seemed to be a martial artist, but the realm was only one floor at most.
It's just that Wei Changpan has never had the experience of fighting against the three of them at the same time, because of the truth taught by Qian Erye, whenever he asked what to do when the other party was overwhelmed, he always said with disdain: "If you don't run, are you waiting to be beaten?" made him very depressed.
But Second Master Qian didn't look like he was asking him to make a move at this time, and his expression was complicated while being stunned, and he pressed the handle of the knife on his waist.
Although the three grass cobs are sparse in martial arts, their eyesight is excellent, just from Qian Erye's press of the knife, they can see some fame, their hands are very steady, they do not tremble at all, and traces of calluses can be seen in the tiger's mouth and fingertips.
Ran into the idea of piercing hands, a few grass Kou glanced at each other, if there was no sharp eye in this line, I didn't know that the head hung on the city gate tower to show a lot of less back, the grass Kou was a big thief in the Dayao Law, and he was caught but he was going to lose his head, they had been doing this for some years, and they saw that the people on the nearby hills had changed one after another, either they were surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers and put them on death row to cut off their heads, or their eyesight was not good and they ran into unprovoked piercing ideas but they were made away.
The three of them have survived to this day, all thanks to the eldest with a little bit of brains and the second with good eyesight, as for the third child, who is very tall and has a bad brain, he only does the work of contribution, and when he encounters a bold three, five divided by two, he will clean up. However, even if the murder is given to each of these three people, they will not dare.
It's just that now that the New Year has just passed, the grain on the mountain has been wiped out for a meal that can have three meals for ordinary people, and the "trading" under the mountain has not been able to meet a suitable object, and the brigade of more than a dozen or so people can't afford to provoke, and the single ones are some woodcutters and farmers' families, not to mention the poor, and the three brothers who are also from poor families can't do it.
The three people who didn't drink oil Xingzi and didn't bring a little wild vegetable soup saw two fat sheep on the road, one big and one small, riding horses, not to mention, there was a horse behind them carrying luggage, a few people combined, although the big one had a knife in his hand, but the small one was captured by anyone who went, and the remaining two fought one, and they all won the battle.
It's just that this road money, at this time, it seems that it is hot!
