Chapter 42: A Night Encounter with a Bandit
"Strong father, strong father, what's wrong with you, you speak, don't leave your dream and cry, strong father. In just a few seconds, a good person fell down, two lines of tears couldn't help but flow, the first time, Dream Cry cried, crying so sad, so panicked.
Although Meng Cry said that he had a lot of strength, after all, the head was too small, and he dragged Erqiang to the bed. Hurriedly ran to the second aunt's house to ask for help, and the second aunt saw Meng Cry crying like a tearful person, picked up Meng Cry, and the family of three rushed over.
"Hey, it's burning so badly. The second aunt touched Erqiang's forehead.
"Second aunt, what now?" Mengwai was so anxious that she was in a mess.
"Don't worry, Old Tang, let's go to Uncle Ge to get some medicine. The second aunt really didn't have a problem, and asked with a discussion.
When Old Tang heard this, he became anxious: "Your head is also burned and confused! How can you go to the town at this big night? I don't dare to cross the mouth of the black cliff, in case I am bumped into by the people of the black cliff peak, my life will be gone." ”
Mengwei has also heard about Hu Daya, that guy is a bandit leader on the Black Cliff Peak, without a little humanity, whether it is poor or rich, light and strong or old and weak, as long as he encounters it, he will loot it, deduct people if he has no money, and pay a ransom, some poor families really can't pay the ransom, and after three or five days, they can find those incomplete limbs in those mountains, which is extremely vicious.
Because the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, on this black cliff peak, the terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the imperial court has no way to take them. Even sometimes give some benefits, so that these guys have food and drink, and do less things. Over time, this group of bandits is really not afraid of heaven and earth.
When the second aunt heard Lao Tang say this, she lost her confidence. "Eh, this Hu Daya, who killed a thousand knives, last month, the youngest son of the Jiang family also had a high fever in the middle of the night and didn't dare to ask a doctor, and the child was burned into a fool. ”
Meng Wei gritted her teeth and said, "Second aunt, I'll go, I can't watch my father suffer, and it's difficult to say that I am a child." Those people are not good."
The second aunt looked at Meng Wai in surprise: "Those people are inhumane, as long as they can't give money, they will kill anyone!"
"If my father burns like this, I'd rather not have this life. Dream Cry stubbornly stood up and prepared to walk out.
The second aunt looked at Old Tang pitifully.
"Look at what I'm doing, with my eyes, I'm not going. Old Tang said with slanted eyebrows.
"It's all said that it's dangerous, and I still have to go, these two mothers and daughters may want me to be gone, so I can find another one. Old Tang said angrily, but he had already followed Mengwai on the road outside the village.
"I hope you're lucky today, boy, don't shout loudly along the way, keep quiet, otherwise we won't be able to go back if we really run into those people, do you hear?" said Old Tang.
Mengwai was completely conquered, obviously it was Lao Tang who was talking endlessly all the way, and he kept himself quiet.
Mengwai and Old Tang walked on the road, blowing a cool wind. Mengwei didn't have the slightest fear, shook his little hand, and walked in front quickly, but Lao Tang was looking at all directions, listening to all directions, once there was a wind and grass, he subconsciously shrank his feet, and was obscene to the extreme: "Boy, don't go too fast, look at it and then go, hey! I said did you hear it?"
Meng Wai thought about the second strong father in his heart, where did he still have the heart to listen to Lao Tang's nonsense.
The two of them walked one after the other, which was quite funny.
The leaves rustling in the night wind, the trees swaying gently, maybe it was psychological, Lao Tang always felt as if he was following a person, and repeatedly couldn't help but look back, but he didn't find anything, this night with a slight moonlight, some cool wind to the bone marrow, made Lao Tang feel uneasy.
Old Tang was worried all the way, and finally passed the black cliff mouth, and his heart was much more steady.
"Hurry up, after the reverse slope ahead, we should be safe. Old Tang looked around, and said to Meng Wai with some joy, at this time, there are many legs and feet.
When the front goes down the slope, there is an avenue that leads directly to the town, and the group of bandits are not so rampant, and they generally do not commit crimes on the avenue.
However, as she walked, Meng Wai smelled a faint smell of blood and stopped.
"Hurry up, what are you doing? You'll be safe. Old Tang urged.
"Uncle Tang, wait, there's a problem over there. Meng Wai raised his little hand and pointed to a small mound on the side of the road in front of him.
Old Tang was half-convinced, his heart was in his throat, and he took two steps and took a step back to grope for the past. When he came to the mound, Old Tang poked his head out and looked down at the mound, where a dead horse was lying, and it had been slashed in the chest, and blood was flowing all over the ground.
Old Tang patted his chest and said to Mengwai: "It's okay, it's just a dead horse." It's all right. Let's go. ”
Meng Wei sighed, lowered his head, and said worriedly: "Uncle Tang, you have something." There's someone behind you. ”
"What?"
Old Tang hadn't understood what Meng Cry was saying, and two blood-stained knives were already on Old Tang's neck.
