The Pawn Chapter 26 Riding a Donkey and Picking a Pickaxe
Early the next morning, Lu Zhiying took Wei Wei and nearly 20 other young and middle-aged students to Lu'er Village.
Wei Wei originally proposed to go to Lu'er Village by horse, and everyone echoed the idea of seeing the beauties of Lu'er Village, but Lu Zhiying raised an objection and said with a smile: "Our Lu'er Village is not far from here, and it only takes less than half an hour to ride a horse, and it only takes more than an hour to walk." It was still early in the morning, and the girls hadn't woken up yet—it would be rude if we entered the village at this time. Besides, there is a feast in the village tonight, and you don't have a horse, so you can use this excuse to stay in our village and get close to the girls—"
When everyone heard Lu Zhiying say this, they also felt that what they said was reasonable, and they heard him say that they could drink and have fun with the girls after preparing a banquet in the evening, so they turned to support Lu Zhiying's words and took advantage of the cool morning to walk. Along the way, these unmarried descendants chattered and discussed, and they all seemed to be very excited, only Wei Wei was not interested, and his mind was still recalling his guess last night.
This Lu Zhiying is really a little too weird - he is selling girls and giving thank-you gifts, just to let the young adults of Weijia Village help repair the house? The answer must be no, the reward and the price paid are far from proportional, and there must be some scheme.
After walking for more than an hour, I finally arrived at Luer Village, and it was already three poles in the sun. At the entrance of the village, a group of girls from Yingying Yanyan greeted them as soon as they saw the people from Weijia Village arrive.
There are many men in Weijia Village, where have they ever seen such a scene? For a while, I was fascinated by the beauty of the girls, and I didn't know where to put my excited hands.
Wei Wei ignored them and walked straight to the village—as Lu Zhiying said, the houses were washed away by the heavy rain, but the number was far less exaggerated than he said, and only a few houses on the lower ground in the west of the village showed a dilapidated appearance. Just as Wei Wei was standing here thinking, the villagers of Lu'er Village also led Wei Gong, Wei Cheng and others over.
Lu Zhiying walked up and patted Wei Wei on the shoulder and said, "There is Brother Lao Wei, brother, you are born with divine power, with you, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Wei Wei responded perfunctorily, so he rolled up his sleeves to help, and Lu Zhiying saw that everyone was already in full swing to start construction, so he quietly retreated to the side and didn't know where to go.
After a while, a little girl hurriedly ran towards her, and Wei Wei pulled her aside for fear that the people around her would accidentally hurt her when they were building a wall.
Unexpectedly, this little girl looked anxious and asked Wei Wei, "You are from Weijia Village, right?"
Wei Wei nodded, not knowing what was going on with this little girl.
The little girl looked around and found that no one noticed her, so she lowered her voice and said to Wei Wei: "You should go back to your Weijia Village and have a look! I just heard Lu Zhiying and others say that you can prepare to make a move on Weijia Village!"
Move to Weijia Village? Wei Wei was shocked in his heart, and the doubts that had been haunting him were also easily solved-this Lu Zhiying really had a bad intention! Half of the strong men in the village were transferred from the mountain by Lu Zhiying's gang to come here, and this was the best time to attack the village!
But he also kept an eye on it, and asked, "Who are you, and are you from this Luer Village, and why are you telling me this?"
Although the little girl was anxious, she spoke in an orderly manner: "I am Lu Ning from Luer Village, just call me Ah Ning." I tell you because Lu Zhiying is a bad guy with a femme fatale - he always mixes with the bandits to fight the idea of the girls in the village, every year he will send two adult sisters to the thieves' cottage, but most of the people in the village are old and weak, women and children only dare to be angry and dare not speak, and he often puts down cruel words to scare us that if anyone dares to run out of the village without permission or tell the people in other villages about it, he must first send someone to the cottage for the bandits to have fun and then kill them. ”
Although Lu Ning's face gradually became frightened and his voice became quieter, he still mustered up the courage to say to Wei Wei: "Actually...... Lu Zhiying wants me to talk to you and leave you here, and then come back to deal with you after the bandits have finished looting your village...... But I think if I continue to let him do nonsense, sooner or later I will be sent to the cottage by him. Since Lu Zhiying specially instructed me, then you must be the most powerful - you must have a way to stop him, right?"
After hearing this, Wei Wei couldn't help but shout in his heart that this Lu Zhiying was really insidious and vicious, and he asked Lu Ning: "There are horses in your village, I will borrow some good from you and go back now to stop them." ”
Lu Ning shook her head, "Where are there horses in the village? The horses in the surrounding villages have long been robbed by the bandits - but I still have a donkey at home, I don't know if it will come in handy." ”
Wei Wei couldn't help but feel a sour tooth after hearing this, this Lu Zhiying was also quite cautious, not letting us ride a horse must be trying to slow down our speed of going back, this guy even took away the horses from his own village. "It's better to ride a donkey than to run back on two legs. After speaking, he immediately beckoned to the two brothers Wei Gong and Wei Cheng, and the two brothers reluctantly walked over, Wei Wei explained the matter to the two of them, and asked the two to call the other brothers of Weijia Village to go back to rescue the village with him, but they must not make a noise to prevent Lu Zhiying's eyes from being in Luer Village, just find an excuse to shirk today's affairs and slowly withdraw it. These two people were also suspicious, but the lives of the elders of the whole village were at stake, so they would rather believe them than not, so they went back to the crowd and whispered.
Wei Wei followed Lu Ning to her house, the lazy donkey was still reluctant to go out of the stable, and was kicked and forcibly reprimanded by Lu Ning before walking out of the stable unhurriedly. At the same time, Wei Wei easily touched a short axe for chopping wood at the base of the wall of Lu Ning's house, and then took a pickaxe with a crane's beak in his hand, and stepped onto the black donkey.
He urged the donkey to go to the entrance of the village, but he didn't expect that this donkey was very lazy by nature, and it was not as fast as his legs, Wei Wuxin smashed its ass with the back of the axe, the black donkey was in pain, and with a whimper, he spread his hooves and ran, Wei Wei turned to Lu Ning and said, "You hide quickly, don't be abducted by Lu Zhiying's men." Thank you, Ning. ”
Just as Wei Wei set off from Lu'er Village to return to the village, there were still male farmers and female weavers in Weijia Village, each performing their duties, and they didn't know anything about Lu Zhiying's conspiracy, and the bandits who had been ambushed not far from the village were already waiting a little impatiently.
Just when the leader of the bandits couldn't wait to give the order to attack, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, and Lu Zhiying was late. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled flatteringly, and said, "The big boss can give the order to attack." The bandit leader snorted coldly, raised the steel knife in his hand, and for a while, the twenty or thirty horseback thieves in front of him with knives and dozens of thieves on foot with steel forks and hoes and other "weapons" rushed towards Weijia Village.
This Lu Zhiying was originally a broken scholar in Lu'er Village, and he couldn't show off his talent in several exams, so he was idle in the village and had nothing to do - he is different from Meng He, Meng He really has the literary talent and ability to take the test, but he was missed by the examiner's collusion to gain fame, and this Lu Zhiying really doesn't have that ability - in other words, this is an old Sun Shan.
This old Sun Shan spent all his family's savings for the imperial examination, and because he was weak and could not farm, he could only compose a few poems on weekdays to ridicule the court for having no eyes, and he could be called a half-wasted person, so he was quite blind to the people in the village, although he held a grudge against him, he had no ability to resist and had to endure silently. Four years ago, when the bandits robbed Luer Village, he made two or five boys, relying on his ability to read and hyphenate to catch up with this group of big bosses, and since then he has become a dog-headed military advisor of the bandits, and it can be regarded as a dream of dispatching his troops. He usually came up with bad ideas and played tricks, but he actually won the respect of the thieves, and the cottage, which was still half-dead, actually became decent and grew stronger and stronger under his advice-and his first bad idea, which was also his name--was to sell the girls in his village first, and trick the girls up the mountain to be the playthings of the thieves.
Since then, he has to take a few adult girls in the village up the mountain every year, at first the villagers of Luer Village didn't know what happened, but after a long time, there will always be rumors, Lu Zhiying was angry and warned them not to talk outside, otherwise they would take the bandits to leave the chickens and dogs killed in Luer Village, so everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
The cottage is getting bigger and bigger, and the surrounding villages have long been squeezed by them to make ends meet, and they can't squeeze out anything, so the bandits started the idea of Weijia Village. Lu Zhiying has long heard that the Wei family villagers are fierce, and there is even a child who is born like a tiger to keep the thieves out of the village, and he said in his heart that this Weijia village has never been robbed in recent years, and he must be able to do a big vote from it, so he took advantage of the heavy rain a few days ago to collapse the houses of countless villages, and came up with this trick to "divert the tiger from the mountain".
The tiger boy is quite powerful, presumably these rabble are not his opponents, so he transferred him out of the village, and put a beauty trick in Luer Village, not afraid that he will not take the bait. Lu Zhiying took a few bandits to disguise themselves and infiltrate Weijia Village to survey the terrain, although those few were suspected by Wei Ruan, but fortunately they mixed in and found out the details of Wei Ruan, and today they used the lust heart of these young people as bait to lure them to Luer Village on foot, but he had already led the horses of Luer Village to the bandits - even if there was any one in Luer Village who did not dare to tell the informant, he had to walk for an hour at the fastest with his legs, and the bandits had already returned with a full load at that time, leaving an empty village.
Lu Zhiying rode a horse and followed the bandits into the village, and the villagers of Weijia Village reacted quite quickly, the women and girls immediately got into the house, and the men gathered together to resist the bandits with farm tools. The unmarried young and middle-aged people in the village were almost all lured away by Lu Zhiying, and the adult men were half gone, and the combat effectiveness was naturally far less than usual, and the villagers of Weijia Village protected the old and young women and children to retreat to the village, and fought and left, and the bandits were not in a hurry to chase - naturally they rushed into these empty houses first to grab something valuable, and as for killing - a group of little lambs who were squeezed to the edge of the sheepfold would not be too late to kill after a while, and by the way, they would snatch some young and beautiful girls back to the mountains to be happy.
On the way to retreat, someone recognized Lu Zhiying, who was mixed in with the bandits and was flying and pointing at the country, Wei San's grandfather trembled with anger, and he couldn't even catch his crutches: "Cough, cough, cough...... Lu Zhiying, you are a bastard who is not as good as a wolf-hearted dog, a pig-dog, a pig-and-dog...... We were kind to you, but you have brought the thieves to us...... I'm fighting with you!" "Grandpa Wei San was extremely angry, and just wanted to turn around and fight with Lu Zhiying, but he was stuck in one breath and fainted, and was hurriedly snatched back by everyone and carried to the army first.
Lu Zhiying's smile at this time was quite proud, in his heart, this plan was a foolproof strategy, what did he have to worry about? The only variable was that Wei Wei - fortunately, he let the best-looking little girl in the village, Lu Ning, who was fifteen years old, drag him down.
The encirclement of the bandits is also slowly shrinking, just as the bandits at the front have already fought with the men of Weijia Village, but they saw that the rear formation was in chaos, and a god of war with an iron pickaxe riding a black donkey entered the formation, causing the bandits to turn on their backs.
I saw that the god of war had a fierce light in his eyes, his mouth was like a huge basin, his eyes were spewing fire, his sound was like thunder, he was wielding an axe in his left hand and a hoe in his right hand, and his clothes and armor were flat like a spring of blood. Wei Wei was furious and said, "Lu Zhiying, hurry up and give your grandfather Wei to get out and lead to death!"
