Chapter 23 I went to Zhendian and heard about the bandits

Something happened? Pinshu.com

Dazhi and the big man thought so in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, they naturally didn't want Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu to have an accident, and of course they didn't want that Boss Wu to have an accident.

"Let's go faster!" Dazhi did not answer Ah Zi's question directly.

Dazhi and they didn't see Qiao Xiaojing's figure yet, they heard the sound of abuse, this voice came from Cuiyu, she scolded: "What a beast, an authentic beast, there is no humanity at all! I didn't expect people to be like this now......"

"What's the matter?" Zi muttered to herself, "What brute? Who doesn't have humanity?"

"Something's wrong," the big man sighed as he patted Dazhi on the shoulder on his back, "something must have happened......"

"Shut up," Dazhi shook his body and rebuked, "Are you bothered, attached to my ear?

"Okay," the big man immediately relented and whispered softly, "I'll shut up and stop biting." ”

"What's wrong, what's going on?" Ah Zi rushed to Qiao Xiaojing's side first.

"Did you meet two people on horseback?" asked Cuiyu as she limped to Ah Zi's side and grabbed Ah Zi's arm.

"It's been some time. ”

"Why don't you stop it?"

"We ---" Ah Zi didn't understand Cuiyu's question, "what the hell happened, why did you stop them?"

"Those two brutes," Qiao Xiaojing stammered angrily, "those two brutes saw that we were injured, so they dismounted, thinking that they would help us, but they didn't expect to rob our things and run away." Oh, before leaving, a brute kicked Boss Wu, extremely hateful, hateful!"

"Snatched something," Dazhi had already carried the big man back, and Dazhi panted, "Does it matter?"

"Of course!" Cuiyu said, "It doesn't matter, if it's our things, forget it, they just snatched Boss Wu's things, there is a letter of introduction in it, it is the proof that Mr. Wu went to Yan'an to find someone, wouldn't it be troublesome to lose it?"

"Anything else important?"

"Let's let Boss Wu say it himself," Qiao Xiaojing said, "We can't say it clearly." ”

"Okay then," Boss Wu took a deep breath and said with a little loss, "Actually, I don't think it's interesting to say it." The two people snatched one of my bags, the bag was very ordinary, and it contained a few changes of clothes, and it was not worth a few dollars, and the key was that the letter--- which was written by a friend in the Northeast to a high-ranking person. ”

"So," said Dazhi, "this letter is really not an ordinary letter. We don't have a horse or a car now, and we can't catch up with other people's fast horses if we run on two legs alone, so what should we do?"

"That's the problem," said Jade, "not only do we have no means of transportation, but we are all injured to varying degrees, and it is difficult for us to walk normally, let alone chase those two beasts who are in danger." ”

"Yes, what should I do?" Qiao Xiaojing also fell into melancholy.

"I said," said Boss Wu, "we don't have to be so anxious, anyway, things are already like this, restlessness and scolding can't solve the actual problem, it's better for us to calm down, rest and rest, and continue to act according to the established plan, if we can have a God-given opportunity, chase the letter back, this is the best; ”

"It's all my fault......" The big man shook his head guiltily.

"I don't blame you for this," Boss Wu said casually, "If you want to blame me, I proposed to walk through the canyon at night, I wanted to use the night to cover people's eyes and ears, and stayed on the avenue, no one has ever seen us, and no one knows where we came from, so it will be safer." If we were in a hurry in broad daylight and the situation under our feet was clear at a glance, this situation would not have occurred. ”

Ah Zi took out the fire fold, and the black canyon had a little light.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu were about to open their mouths, but Boss Wu waved his hand and stopped them from talking with a slight smile.

"Of course," Boss Wu continued, "I also want to blame those two thieves who have broken their hearts, seeing that we have been injured, in this uninhabited canyon, they can help as much as they can, even if they don't want to help us, this is people's duty, you can pretend that you don't see anything, and walk away, but you shouldn't snatch away the things of the people in distress!"

"Really," Ah Zi said, "I don't know what happened to people now, how did they become like this?" After blinking, if the two of them were pitiful before closing their eyes, they would have become thieves when they opened their eyes again. ”

"The situation is unstable," Boss Wu sighed, "people's hearts fluctuate, and only in the turmoil can we see human nature." Usually most people have a normal heart, it is difficult to see what people's hearts are like, so everyone is kind, once the profit is taken, some people will become greedy, some people will become treacherous, some people will become shameless, the ugliness of human nature is nothing more than this!"

Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu, Ah Zi, Dazhi and the big man all felt that this Boss Wu was reasonable, and they all nodded convincingly.

"Since this letter is so important," Qiao Xiaojing said, "We can't just forget it, we have to find a way to get it back, otherwise Boss Wu will encounter a lot of trouble even if he arrives in Yan'an." Besides, it is our duty to protect Boss Wu's thoughtfulness, but now that such a thing has happened in the middle of the road, it is our lack of protection, and we have to think of ways to make up for it. ”

"Yes," Cuiyu agreed with Qiao Xiaojing's statement, she said, "We have to bear our faults." ”

"In this way," Boss Wu was also reasonable, he said with a smile, "We go all the way to find, if we are lucky enough to meet those two guys, we will find a way to get the letter back, if not, then forget it, we can't delay our trip, especially not delay your business." ”

When the sky turned white, Qiao Xiaojing's physical pain was slightly relieved, so everyone got up again and walked out of the gorge on foot. Until noon, finally out of the canyon, just this distance, from time to time to see the broken carriage, everyone's mood is very heavy, very lonely, and even a little melancholy.

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard the neighing of a horse, and they all stopped, and their eyes turned to the source of the sound, and they saw a big red horse halfway up the mountain on the right side, as if it was circling around something, like a grinding.

"Isn't that the horse the one we ran away?" exclaimed the big man.

"I'll go over and take a look, you guys take a rest first......" Dazhi's voice didn't fall, and the person had already run away.

After a while, everyone heard the sound of horses' hooves.

I saw that Dazhi was riding on horseback, galloping down the mountain road, and the horse's mane was fluttering in the wind, quite imposing.

"Great......" The crowd was thrilled to see the lost horses recovered.

"Dazhi help Boss Wu get on the horse," Qiao Xiaojing touched the horse's head and said with a smile, "We walk all year round, and we still have some foot strength, so it shouldn't be too slow." ”

"No," Boss Wu said that he would not ride a horse, "since there is only one horse, it seems that it is not appropriate for anyone to ride it, so what should we do? I have an idea, let's just put all the baggage on the horse's back and let the horse carry it, so that we can travel lightly and easily, what do you think?"

Everyone persuaded Boss Wu to ride a horse again, but he repeatedly refused, and in the end, Qiao Xiaojing and the others had to accept Boss Wu's proposal, tied their respective burdens to the horse, and handed over the reins to the big man.

Dazhi was unhindered, his legs and feet were sharp, and he took the initiative to serve as a pathfinder, walking at the forefront of the team, keeping a distance of about 200 meters from Qiao Xiaojing and them.

I don't know how long I walked, Dazhi ran back excitedly, panting and said: "Everyone, I have good news for you, there is a town not far ahead, we can go there to rest, and by the way, inquire about the whereabouts of those two thieves." ”

Since the carriage accident last night, it was a small surprise to find the horses, and it was a big surprise to hear that they were about to arrive in Zhendian, and everyone was delighted, everyone had a smile on their faces, and the speed of travel was much faster.

"We've arrived at the front of Zhendian," said Boss Wu, "while inquiring about those two thieves, we also have to inquire about where to sell horses, we have to buy a few horses, or we will rely on our two legs to hurry, and we may not be able to reach Yan'an in the Year of the Monkey, do you think it's okay?"

"Of course it's good to have a horse to hurry, but it's just ......" Qiao Xiaojing also wanted to ride a horse, but the money in her pocket was limited, so she didn't dare to spend a lot of money, after all, this was just the beginning of a journey of a thousand miles.

"You don't have to think about money," Boss Wu obviously saw Qiao Xiaojing's difficulties, and said with a smile, "I'll solve this matter, don't forget, I was in business before, and it's not a problem to pay this money." ”

"Use your money to ......" Every member of the Creeper Special Operations Group, including Qiao Xiaojing, felt embarrassed.

"We go all the way," Boss Wu said, "We are in the same boat through thick and thin, we share weal and bene, you are taking this road to protect me, I can't be too picky, I can't do other things, I can still do things that cost money, so don't shirk it." ”

Soon, Qiao Xiaojing and a group of six people came to the town.

The town is not big, the streets are dilapidated, there are not many vendors and pedestrians on the street, and it is a bleak scene as far as the eye can see.

When there are gusts of wind, dust fills the streets, and the smell of dirt hits from all directions, making it difficult to breathe.

Qiao Xiaojing and the others forcibly endured the choking smell of earth and walked towards the town, looking left and right as they walked, only a few shops were open, and they rarely saw customers coming and going......

"It's strange these days," Dazhi sighed, "why is there no vitality at all, giving people a lifeless feeling?"

"That's true," said Boss Wu, "I also think this town is seriously ill, weak, and lifeless, so let's find a place to rest and ask what is going on, and see if we can help." ”

"Boss Wu," Ah Zi said timidly, "I think something is very wrong here, more is better than less, or we don't go any further, just turn back and go out of town, take a detour, maybe we won't be able to meet the town or village again after walking for a long time." ”

"Since you're already here," Boss Wu said with a smile, "I'll have to sit for a while, it's not good to leave in such a hurry." ”

"There's a restaurant up ahead," said Dazhi as he returned, pointing ahead, "and it's a good place to rest." ”

"Very good!" Boss Wu readily agreed.

Everyone came to the restaurant and ordered a bowl of slim noodles.

"You are outsiders," after Qiao Xiaojing and their repeated questioning, the restaurant owner said timidly, "I might as well tell you about it." Recently, a gang of robbers have come here, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, which has caused panic in the hearts of the people......"
