Chapter 214 Saving People
Seeing General Dai and his entourage enter the shop, the two of them hurriedly picked up a plate of hot fritters and sent them over.
The general was not in a beautiful mood, and his soldiers were silent. Lai Qi doesn't like to eat green onions, let alone drink tofu brain, he wants to say that he will replace his own with bean foam, and then pour an egg into the fritters, but looking at the general in front of him who stared at the chopsticks cage for a long time without blinking, he hesitated for a long time or sighed.
After patrolling all night, it was freezing all night in the cold wind.
Early in the morning, take a bite of hot fritters, dip some chili peppers, and drink a sip of tofu brain, which is simply the enjoyment of the gods, and the cold on the body is instantly driven away, and the warmth spreads all over the limbs.
The tips of the noses of the soldiers were sweating, but Dai Xue was holding a porcelain spoon and stirring a bowl of tofu brain, without moving, seeing that the heat in the bowl dissipated and the fritters were cold, Lai Qi couldn't help but remind in a low voice, "General, people are iron rice and steel, no matter how sad you are, you have to eat enough to have the strength to find someone." ”
Dai Xue snorted, picked up a fritter and soaked it in the tofu brain, lowered her head and ate two bites, when firecrackers suddenly crackled on the street at the door.
He frowned and asked the old woman who came in with the fritters, "Auntie, this year has passed, and the festival has passed, why does anyone set off firecrackers at this time?" ”
The old woman took down the cold fritters, put the hot ones on them, and turned her face with a smile for a moment, "General Dai, you don't know, our customs in Zhaozhou, funerals and weddings are also to be fired, this is a white matter, look at that Shoucai is a white material, it should be a small mouth, I don't know who has no family, the poor child is gone, and he is going to go to the house early in the morning." ”
The locals of Zhaozhou call the young men and women who died before marriage Xiaokou, and the coffins used by such people are not allowed to have any decoration, and the color of the log directly synthesizes the coffin, which is called white wood.
Dai Xue sighed, but put down the things in her hand and got up to go out, and stopped the funeral crowd with a wave of a knife.
The scale of this group of people is not large, there are only about a dozen people, and the one who is supporting the coffin is a tall young man, crying for the period Ai Ai, his eyes are red and swollen, and his face is wiped with snot and tears.
The person who set off the firecrackers in front saw that someone was about to have a seizure, and when he saw Dai Xue's outfit, he immediately coaxed down, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Xiaomin doesn't know that it's General Dai, and he still asks for forgiveness, I don't know why General Dai stopped me?" ”
Dai Xue's eyes stared at the young man holding the coffin without blinking, and said coldly, "Who is the deceased in the coffin?" ”
He said this to the young man, and he didn't dare to squeak when he knelt, so the young man had to raise his sleeve to wipe away his tears, and replied with grief, "General Hui, the coffin is my brother, and I was drunk to death because I drank too much last night." ”
Dai Xue slowly moved to the side of the coffin, and after looking at it for a week, the smell of wine did come from the coffin, "Put it down, open it." ”
He coldly ordered, the young man's face was angry, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he had to endure his unhappiness and try to reason, "General, it's a misfortune for my brother to lose his life at a young age, and I beg the general to see ......it."
"I said open!" Dai Xue interrupted him and raised his voice, waved his hand, and Lai Qi and the others surrounded him in an uproar.
The youthful face was pale, and he still wanted to distinguish it, "My lord, now that the sun has risen, the people of the underworld are afraid to scatter when they see the sun......"
Dai Xue interrupted the man again and shouted, "Lai Qi!" ”
Lai Qi hurriedly probed the long knife and inserted and picked it between the gaps in the coffin lid, and with a force, the coffin lid was picked up and flew away, and everyone looked into the coffin together.
Lai Qi is bold, but he has a problem he has developed since he was a child - he is afraid of ghosts. Wang Lao Xian'er was afraid that the two of them would be naughty since he was a child, so he told some strange things every day to scare him and Lai Ba, causing this shadow to linger until adulthood.
General Dai is not an unreasonable person, let alone a person who does not know the customs of Zhaozhou, and there must be a reason for his insistence on opening the coffin.
After picking open the lid of the coffin with a sword, except for Lai Qi, who jumped back, everyone else looked into the coffin, and saw that the "dead man" who was lying down and wearing a shroud suddenly opened his eyes, and a piece of yellow and white powder was sprinkled in his hand.
The soldiers who reacted slowly fell down one after another, Dai Xue was on guard, hid quickly, and was not plotted, so he drew his knife and went to cut the mourning young man, but this group of people actually hid their kung fu and fought with Dai Xue and Lai Qi.
Dai Xue didn't sleep for a few days, her body was tired, and the powder of Fang Cai also drifted into her nose a little with the wind, and her body couldn't support it a little.
Suddenly, a cold arrow came, and then four black-clothed men sat on the two fast horses, walking and shooting with feather arrows in their hands, and after injuring many innocent passers-by, they came to the city gate to meet the group of men and horses, and the dead man in the coffin nodded to the people on the horse, and then killed a few of his accomplices who were slightly worse in kung fu, and jumped on the wall one after another.
Dai Xue was about to chase after her, and there was a dull pain in her chest, knowing that it was because of the powder mist just now, but she could see clearly that the man in black was holding the figure of Layue.
So he pushed away Lai Qi, who came to help him, endured the pain, lifted his breath, and chased after the eaves.
But after all, it pulled down a long distance. Lai Qi has already moved people, as long as he chases these people, he will not worry about not being able to save Layue.
Among the four black-clothed people, two of them were resisted on their shoulders by Layue and Lan Meng, Lan Meng saw that Dai Xue was chasing closely, and with a gesture, the six soldiers scattered in two ways, fleeing in two directions.
Dai Xue only hesitated, and then chased in the direction of Youlayue. Blood spilled out of his mouth, and his eyes began to blur, he wiped the corners of his mouth and slashed a sword on his leg with his backhand to prevent himself from fainting.
Lan Meng smiled proudly, looked at the person chasing her behind her, and said to the man in black who was carrying her, "I didn't expect him to recognize his own woman, it seems that the real and fake phantom powder is very useful." It's just that why haven't you fainted after chasing for so long? This man is really tough and difficult. ”
The man in black below him didn't answer, and Lan Meng didn't expect him to answer, leisurely looking at the figure chasing farther and farther away, smiling more and more coquettishly.
After the black-clothed man on the other side walked two or three miles away, he looked at the Beiyan Realm close in front of him and smiled on his face. Finally arrived, patted the woman on the back, and the man in black smiled, "You woman is really popular, in order to get you out, but she hurt seven or eight of our dead soldiers." ”
As soon as the words fell, three figures suddenly swished down beside him, and they were also dressed in black like him, but the cold murderous aura emanating from his body immediately let him know that these three people were friends and foes.
didn't care about speaking, the man in black grabbed a paper bag from his waist and threw it at the wind, and the three of them smiled and dodged like birds.
Then the man in black in the middle said coldly, "Be quick, the son is still waiting." ”
The other two nodded, reaching for their swords from their backs. It's just three moves, and after only three moves, the man in black has been pierced through the throat with a sword, a sword through the heart, and a sword through the ear to die on the ground.
Another man in black pulled off the Layue scarf and looked at it, nodded to the others, and then the partner changed the corpse that had been prepared long ago behind a tree into Layue's clothes, and put a few swords on the corpse, and then picked up Layue and disappeared into the night.
