Chapter Seventy-Three: Distress in the Mountains
It is said that Yan Zimo, one of the "Nine Tigers of the Open Hall" of Qingfeng Hall, ------ that day he rode the "Snow Field Chasing Wind Horse", and took his entourage Guangqiang and another entourage along the official road, under the scorching sun, and chased after the Rongchang and Tie Biao of the ginseng firm.
In one breath, the three of them ran for more than forty miles, and when they reached the three-way intersection, Guangqiang first stopped the horse, "Mo Ye, which way are we going?" ”
Yan Zimo picked up the water bladder hanging on the saddle, opened his mouth, and drank two sips of water, "His grandmother's, this day is really an autumn tiger, the sun is merciless, I have walked this way, the one on the left goes to the direction of Fox Weizi, the middle goes to the direction of Yushan, and the one on the right is to the direction of Harba Ridge, continue to chase." He couldn't run. ”
"Mo Ye, it stands to reason that our horse has outrun his carriage, not to mention that yours is a good horse, will there be a fraud?"
"Maybe he's more anxious than us, isn't he in a hurry to save his master? Even if there is fraud, we know that Lao He is in trouble, how can we sit idly by and let the boss know what kind of person I have become? Hurry up, the road is not bad, my brother Lao He----- you must not suffer any crime, just be safe, Guangqiang, hurry up and chase me. After speaking, Yan Zimo urged the horse to chase along the road on the right, and the horses of the two guys naturally couldn't catch up with him, but they tried to follow as closely as possible.
In this way, the three of them ran for more than 30 miles.
"Mo Ye------ are you waiting for us-----" Guangqiang shouted breathlessly from behind.
"Woo----- --------" Yan Zimo was a little angry, "I said you two, can you hurry up?" It's too late, I'm afraid Lao He is worried about his life! ”
"Master, you have to bear our shoulders, can our horses compare to your good horses? I know you're in a hurry, but seeing that the mountains on both sides are high and dense, we can't take care of each other, so you might as well just let us go. Guangqiang also dared to speak because he had been following Yan Zimo for many years, and that guy didn't squeak.
"Gangzi, why don't you speak?"
"Try your best to keep up, I only admit one reason, you let me be able to eat enough, I am your person, I will listen to your orders without complaints."
"Oh-----, you kid is waiting for me here, that's what I said, and I also reminded our lord that we must take care of each other, this mountain is not as good as at home, and there are a lot of people who eat the cutting path this line of food these years."
"You have a point, in this case, I will leave you alone, and we will have to continue on our way to catch our breath. It was almost evening, and I couldn't see the road clearly. Yan Zimo's psychology at this time was somewhat confused, where did that Tie Biao go? Supposedly, it's time to catch up......
It was almost evening, and the road in the mountains became narrower and narrower, and Yan Zimo and his group of three walked and stopped, and ran for nearly 50 miles.
"Master, how far are we from Harba Ridge?"
"According to my estimate, it will be another hundred and fifty miles to arrive, this place is called Aqi Helian Ridge, and then twenty miles further is the Sleepy Eagle Cliff, after the Sleepy Eagle Cliff, and then turn over the three ridges to the east, you will enter the Harba Ridge. I don't know where that Tie Biao went, could it be that he ran faster than us? I don't believe it. ”
"Master, you don't like to hear it, I feel like there's a trick in it, if someone sets a trap for us to drill into, it will be dangerous." Guangqiang said very smartly.
"But do you say that there is a second Rongchanghe in the new capital? If he wasn't Rong Changhe's person, how could he have that 'Nine Tigers' waist card of our Qingfeng Hall? I guess it's probably the mountain bandits who sent Lao He's waist card to Rong Changhe and asked them to ransom people with money, so this kid surnamed Tie rushed to pick up Lao He. Yan Zimo reached out and took out the pistol from behind his back, pulled out the magazine, and checked it.
"Master, did you say that if something happened to Uncle He, there would be no reliable person in his family? No one informed Master Lu of such a big matter? Aren't we being a little reckless? ”
"Say what? Who is reckless? Little rabbit cub, even if there is a trap, what, in short, I conclude that something happened to Brother Lao He, and he and I have a lifelong friendship, can I stand by and watch? It's all words that make me angry, there is a saying called 'If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger', even if there is a traitor who sets me up, I will drill him, break him, and let him know that he Mo Ye is not easy to mess with. Master, I came out at the age of fourteen to break into the rivers and lakes, who were you afraid of? What winds and waves didn't pass? What adulterous and violent person has not seen? Don't be afraid of that, I'd like to see who dares to touch my Seifudo brother. ”
"Then should we let Gangzi go back and report to Master Lu, there is a mistake for a while, so that Master Lu can know the truth and take precautions?"
"I said, why are you so grinding? You weren't like this before, what's the matter, scared? If you're afraid, you go back, and I'm not afraid of the sky or the earth if I go alone. Yan Zimo was a little impatient, got off the horse, and untied his hands on the side of the road, his face was always gloomy.
What Guangqiang said was not unreasonable, but this Yan Zimo was very worried about He Wenhua at that time, so he didn't think about it so much.
It really seemed that this Guangqiang was afraid of death, Guangqiang stopped talking, rode his horse, and walked forward with a heavy heart, the horse of the guy named Gangzi surpassed his horse, and he did not go further.
Yan Zimo thought to himself, this kid is nagging these things today, could it be that I am really too impulsive? He got on the horse and continued to urge the horse forward, maybe it was the environment in the mountains that was getting deeper and deeper, maybe it was the reason for the mood, he couldn't think clearly, but he still didn't mean to stop, recalling the scene when He Wenhua fished himself up from the ice cave in the Songhua River, his anxious tears unconsciously remained, Wenhua, there was no sacrifice of your life to save you back then, which is my old and strict today, for me, your legs are lame forever, but you never blame me, today you suffered, Brother, I have to save you with all my life, otherwise how can I feel at ease......
Guangqiang still didn't hold back, urging the horse to surpass Gangzi, "Master, it's not good to be small, I've been going south and north with you all these years, I've eaten a lot of delicious food, my knowledge has grown a lot, and my skills have also grown a lot, and I'm happy to be with you, after we go back, the little one will definitely mobilize Li Sanchun's sister Yingchun to marry you, and let Sister Yingchun give you a big fat son, so that you can also enjoy the blessings." ”
"Come less, you just see me treat you, always talk against my anger, I'm so old, and I don't have a home, treat you and that Xiangfei as your own children, don't care about making me happy, I'm going to study to give you a family as soon as possible."
"Master, if you don't marry a wife, I won't marry either, you want to marry us together."
"Don't tease me, this thing is also fun? Is that Spring Festival really a little interesting to me? ”
"I see that there is a door, do you remember, once you drank too much at Master Lu's, and when you came home, you vomited all over the ground, and Sister Yingchun, who lives next door, washed all your clothes for you and wiped your body, don't you know?"
"Don't say it, I don't believe it, if you want to say that Sanchun did it, I believe it, you are arranging your master."
"Really, I don't believe you asked Sanchun to go, I'm telling the truth. Do you think your clothes aren't clean any day? It's all the credit of people welcoming spring. That Sanchun eats all over the table with rice grains, can he take care of your life so well? You are a warm-hearted heart, poor Sanchun and Yingchun lost their parents and no one took care of them, so they found him a job to eat in our casino, and people are grateful. ”
"Let's be good to them, but not to ask for anything in return, don't talk about that, it seems that I am good to Sanchun in order to marry his sister, according to what you say, I really can't move this mind, so what kind of person have I become?"
"If you want me to say, master, you don't have a backache when you say that you are talking about it now, and when someone falls in love with Sister Yingchun, what do I think you should do? She was so kind and beautiful. ”
"Don't be angry with me, I'll see who dares to touch her, Lao Tzu killed him."
"Look, I'm in a hurry again, saying that I don't want to reciprocate, but in fact, I'm still reluctant in my heart, right? Don't worry, when I go back this time, I will give you Zhang Luo, and I will make your pair of sentient mandarin ducks a marriage match. How? ”
"Woo ------ ------", Yan Zimo stopped his horse, "Qiangzi, you see that there is a trapped eagle cliff in front, the terrain is dangerous, and you will reach Harba Ridge after crossing three ridges." You and Gangzi should go back first, and I'll go on a trip by myself, and the first thing you do when you go back is to go to Master Lu and tell him about the situation here, so that he can send more people to support me. ”
At this time, it was already dark, and I heard the mountain wind suddenly rising, the pine waves rolling, and the wolf howling in the distance came and went.
"Master, didn't the little one say, when my father and son were in Taonan, you took me in and helped me treat my father, and then my father's illness was not good, you bought the coffin, let his old man be buried in peace, since then, in my heart, you are my father, I never thought of leaving you, seven or eight years, almost inseparable from you, and now let you go into danger alone, how conscienceless do I have to be? Mo Ye, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said those things to you at that time...... Woohoo......"
"Child, it's just that I was too concerned about you Uncle He at that time, and it was inevitable that I would be a little impatient when I was in a hurry, but now I think about it calmly, what you said makes a little sense, if there is a mistake, if I can't come back, Brother Lu still knows what's going on, after a long time, the family's business will not be taken care of by anyone, which will make Brother Lu even more worried; Back then, I was sunk into the Songhua River by those dogs of the Japanese pioneer group, if it weren't for your Uncle He, who would rather be shot and scooped me up from the ice hole, how could I be where I am today. Come to think of it, there is only this way, you and Gangzi go back, Gangzi takes care of the casino business, you go to report to Master Lu, he sends someone to show them the way, I can't stop hurrying, I am a little late, your Uncle He will be more dangerous. That's it, you two quickly turn around and rush back, the two of you have a response, and I don't have to worry about it. ”
"No, I can't be separated from you, let Gangzi go back to report the news, I'll go with you, what mountain bandits, what beasts, I'm not afraid, the iron sand palm you handed over to me hasn't met an opponent yet."
"Confused, didn't you say you wanted to go back? Why have you changed your mind now? Listen to me, just do it, if you grind again, I'm really going to get angry. Yan Zimo's face was cold, and his beard trembled.
"Master, I'm not leaving, I'm coming, we're not afraid of any danger, I can't repay your kindness, go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, I just accompany you on a journey." The gangzi, who doesn't like to talk, also roared.
"Grandma's grandson, are you doing the opposite? Don't listen to me? You two go back for me, don't bother talking, otherwise, I won't go, and I'll be able to drink under this sleepy eagle cliff!" Do you hear that? ”
"Master, it's all my fault, make you angry, I won't -----leave," Guangqiang cried and said.
"Master, I won't leave, let's go at this time, it's just not righteous enough." Gangzi was also shouting there.
"I'm confused, and you're confused too? Don't bother, hurry up and go back, find my eldest brother, let him know the truth, the worst plan, even if Lao He and I have an accident, always let the eldest brother know where to find who to take revenge! If I bother more, I will kill myself first, anyway, the road ahead is dangerous, and sooner or later I will die. Yan Zimo moved seriously, pulled out the pistol on his waist with his right hand, and pressed the muzzle of the black hole hole on his temple.
"Master, don't drive us away again, I was wrong----" Guangqiang cried bitterly.
When the three of them were at a stalemate, they heard the mountain wind blowing suddenly, and a whistle sounded behind the cliff in front of them, "Chirp------ tweet--------"
The surroundings are dark, the mountains and rocks and pine forests are gloomy, no one can be seen, only a voice can be heard echoing, "Yan Zimo ----- the owner of the Shun Faxiang Casino, people give the nickname 'Flying Claw Divine Eagle', why are you so slow----- we are waiting for you to fall asleep----- tonight under this trapped eagle cliff, you will be tied up obediently----- haha-----"
"Who are you? How did you know I was coming? It's the master who will come out, and the master is really not afraid that you will come to this set, come out! ”
"What's the hurry? Sooner or later, we have to meet, none of you can leave, don't you want to save He Wenhua? Your brother in life and death? -----”
"What did you do to him? Where is he? Come out -----"
"Let's just say that you have a hot temper, how can you do big things? How about you selling your life to Lu Shikun? What else do you get besides eating and drinking? Stop talking nonsense, you can just get caught-----"
Then, bullets flew in the pine forest, "pop-pop------" poor Gangzi, fell off the horse in response, Yan Zimo and Guangqiang rolled off the horse, hidden behind a big stone, and the three horses crapped into the tree on the side of the road.
For a moment, the gunfire was loud, and the bullets hit the rocks, bursting with dazzling sparks.
After some shooting, Yan Zimo and Guangqiang's bullets were gone, and the two looked at each other, wanting to secretly retreat down the mountain.
But it was too late, Guangqiang saw that more than 50 people came up behind him, all of them had rifles in their hands, and the muzzles of the black holes were surrounded by a half-circle, and then, a big bear net came to their heads......
