Chapter 224: Strange People (3)
Mr. Liao was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. "You, don't kill me," he said.
"Say, where did you leave the girl and the child you had stolen?" By this time the leopard had already jumped down and said, "Say quickly, we will not kill you." β
Manager Liao said, "You put away your sword!"
"Okay! You can't run anywhere. β
Cuicui took the sword, pointed at his acupuncture points and said, "Where are they held?"
The tip of the cold sword on Mr. Liao's throat was pulled out, as if he wanted to pick up his own life, and one leg was numb, and he couldn't walk anymore.
He thought to himself: If he encounters these two little goblin stars, it is probably impossible to escape! His only hope is to save himself. The sound must have frightened her! Why hasn't she come out yet?
He didn't know that Yuhua Rakshasa heard the noise outside, like a bird startled, and looked out of the window, I saw two bricks under the blurred sky, gently descending on the surface of the tiles, one of which was a middle-aged man from a small businessman.
Where she dared to appear, she crept through the window and into the yard next door. Then she jumped on the back of the town and disappeared.
Cuicui held the sword in her hand and said, "Don't say the word 'I don't know'! When you hear these three words, it automatically enters your body. β
"I, I hear you!"
"Okay!
Manager Liao said that if you want a demon, you won't be a demon, and he was extremely scared, so he hurriedly said: "Guan, Guan, shut in the stone house behind." β
"Take us there!"
"Yes!" Mr. Liao stood up tremblingly.
He was sealed by Cuicui in a hole, which could only make him powerless to resist, and he still left. They turned the screen, passed through the two houses, and came to the stone house.
The small merchant also came with a man.
Cuicui frowned and asked, "Have you all searched this yard?
Before they came in, Shang Liang was in charge of searching the entire room. Cuicui and Leopard stalk the pair of traffickers and deal with the connector. Cuicui asked for others, mainly to ask if there were any stubborn masters.
Shang Liang smiled and said, "No, only this weak man, the rest are servants who don't know martial arts." I sent them away and told them to find another way out. β
Cuicui said to Manager Liao: "Open the door!"
The door opened, and there were four or five girls and seven or eight boys inside.
The eldest is thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest is only four or five years old. When they walked in, some of them were so frightened that they cried.
The leopard hurriedly said, "Don't cry, don't cry, we are saving you." β
Cuicui asked Manager Liao again: "So many people?"
"No, ten were sold in two days. β
"Where's it sold?"
"Some went to the capital, some went to the ......"
Cuicui said with a deep hatred, "Damn it!" and a blow knocked him to the ground, and his sword was drawn.
The leopard hurriedly said, "Xiao Cui, don't kill him." You're going to scare the kids. β
Cuicui received the sword, but still didn't understand and was angry: "You must find them all for me! β
"Yes!"
This is not easy, people sell to the capital, Chongqing and other places, how do they know where they resell? In order to survive, Steward Liao had to readily agree.
"Okay, then I'll leave your dog's life for a while! Suppose you run away! I'm going to cut your meat and feed it to the dog." β
Shang Liang said, "He can't run!" I looked at him. β
Cuicui asked, "Are you staring at him here?"
Shang Liang said, "No. Guanyin Bodhisattva told me in a dream that only after completing this good deed could I go to heaven. In addition, these girls, the children were rescued, they knew their home and could be sent back. The three four- and five-year-olds may not be able to speak, but somehow, their parents had to step up. How can there be no one left here? So I'm going to do it together. β
"Didn't you make an oath if you didn't go to Leshan?"
"It's better to do what you say than to make a wish. β
The leopard said, "Then I will live with my uncle." β
"Oh, don't stay with me, this is a good thingβand someone else is interfering, Guanyin says I'm not sincere! She was so angry that she sent me to eighteen hells. β
Cuicui smiled and asked, "Isn't that better? You can make a lot of money selling cloth." β
Shang Liang blinked and said, "It's not easy to make money. β
The leopard didn't understand, but Cuicui understood: the strange people on the Xuan Ling are much weirder, and often their behavior is not understood, but if they have a heart, they say: "May you ascend to heaven as soon as possible." β
"Thank you very much!"
Cuicui asked the manager Liao about the girl who sold to the capital and Chongqing, the name of the child and the buyer, and finally said to Shang Liang: "This person will give it to you!"
Cuicui said to the leopard, "Let's go." Brother Qing was afraid of waiting anxiously on the boat. β
Leopard asked, "Are we really going to leave Uncle Shang?"
Shang Liang said, "You'd better not interfere with my merits. Besides, we will be able to meet in Leshan soon. β
Cuicui said, "Go!"
He pulled the leopard out of the alley and ran back to the boat.
When Qingqing saw them return, she seemed to let go of a heavy burden.
"Is everything alright?"
"Done! Ready to sail!"
"Where's Uncle, won't you come back?"
"He doesn't live with us!"
"You didn't kill anyone?"
"Zhang Er, as for the traffickers, they were killed by their own people, not me. β
When the boatman heard that Zhang Er and the traffickers had died, his last doubts vanished.
"If only they died," he said, "I'm afraid that some children will be trafficked to them." β
Cuicui asked, "Is Zhang Er very bad?"
"He's a wolf on the Sycamore Bridge. β
Cuicui smiled: "Then I didn't kill him wrong." β
The boat set off along the riverbank.
Cuicui said to the leopard: "You go to the rear cabin to rest alone, and I am in the front cabin with Brother Qing, do you agree?"
The leopard said, "Why don't I agree?"
The three of them hadn't slept well since last night, and even worse the night before.
They really need a good night's sleep.
Despite the stunning views, they didn't want to see them.
As soon as they entered the cabin, they lay down to rest.
After an hour of the boat's departure, the boatman suddenly shouted, "Oh no!
The first to wake up was the leopard. He is as agile as a leopard. The sound of underwater stripping was heard.
To his surprise, someone was digging into the bottom of the boat. If you gouge through the bottom, won't the ship sink? If it doesn't water, won't it drown? For a moment, I couldn't help but panic.
The second to wake up was Cuicui, she pulled out the sword that had run out of the bow of the boat, and saw that the boat was sailing in the center of the Min River, the river was soft, and the area of the river was very deep.
The captain picked up the rudder and steered the boat towards the riverbank. With a loud bang, a figure jumped out of the bottom of the river and landed on the stern of the boat. A shiny knife stabbed the captain, and the leopard emerged from the cabin.
One jumped up like a frightened leopard and patted the man in the water with his paws. This is a very rare type of power in martial arts.
The leopard fears that the boatman is still in danger.
"Uncle," he said, "go to the cabin." I'll keep watch here. β
The captain seems to have a lot of experience with the lake, having experienced numerous dangerous storms. He said calmly, "Young Master, I must get the boat to the shore." In case the ship sinks, you can go ashore. β
The boatman's calmness calmed the leopard's nervousness.
At the same time, two more knife-wielding men drenched in water came to the bow of the boat.
Cuicui drew her sword like thunder, moved two or three times, and was carried over by a water thief, and the other water thief saw that it was broken, and hurriedly rushed back into the water.
Although Cuicui can swim, she is not skilled enough to fight people in the water, and she dare not chase into the water, so she can only worry.
Qingqing walked out of the cabin with her injuries.
Cuicui said: "Brother Qing, you don't have to come out, I am here." β
Qingqing said: "The bottom of the ship was scuttled by thieves. The water has been poured into the cabin. "Obviously, the bandits did not come, but they were doing things underwater. A large amount of river water poured into the cabin, and not only was the ship slowly sinking, but the speed of the landing was also slowing down.
The captain walked on the river like an old sailor, making sharp turns, changing direction at the bow and stern of the boat, down the river and diagonally towards the riverbank.
It was a leaky boat, and it had rained all night and the boat was headwinding.
Just then, a large ship went down the river. Standing stood a beautiful middle-aged woman with her left arm hanging in the air, holding a knife in her right hand, her clothes fluttering in the wind. Behind her, there were five men dressed in black, armed with crossbows and arrows.
Qingqing saw it and said, "This is Yuhua Rakshasa, Cuicui, you be careful of her flying knife." As she spoke, a knife flew through the air.
The emerald figure flashed, and with a "click", the knife plunged into the hatch behind her.
This is Yuhua Rakshasa's trick of walking the rivers and lakes flying knives, she can combine twelve flying knives together, and hit every shot.
This knife, her purpose is not to take Cuicui's life immediately, the purpose is to intimidate and warn. The fish got out of the net and was supposed to flee to the right, but she hid behind the Longling Peak of Wutong Bridge, and saw Leopard and Cuicui coming out of Wutong Bridge Town from a distance, going straight up the river, and then walking along the river.
This ignited her anger and plans for revenge. She gathered some of the soldiers and archers who had fled last night. Most of these people are water-savvy people. She wants to kill the three little devils, and in order to vent the hatred of his family, quietly enter the water from the upper reaches and then catch the leopard son in the water......
Yuhua Rakshasa showed the joy of revenge, raised his voice and said to Cuicui: "Little bastard, take your life!"
Cuicui said, "Why do you still have a face, this old woman, let's meet on the shore." β
"The old lady has no time to fight with you, I'll let you taste the taste of fire first, let me shoot arrows!" There were five black-clothed people behind Yuhua, who immediately lit up the arrows, and several rockets shot into the air powerfully.
Although Cuicui and Bao Er used their swords to block several rockets and threw them into the water, two or three of the five shooters who shot were stuffed into the tarpaulin, and the boat caught fire on board.
At this time, it is far and far from the river bank, and even the best light cannot fly ashore.
said that Qingqing's leg injury is not good, let alone show contempt;
Then there were the gondoliers and two sailors.
Leopard and Cuicui, they can't leave them behind and run away by themselves.
While they were busy extinguishing the fire, several rockets hit the bow, stern and cabin of the ship.
Yuhua Rakshasa smiled smugly: "Little bastard, you set fire to the old lady's yard, and the old lady also let you die in the fire." β
Did the leopard jump and run away?
There were thieves in the water, and they were like dead.
When this is extremely dangerous, a fisherman wearing a parasol bamboo hat suddenly appeared by the river, more than 20 zhang long hook rope, like a dragon flying in the air from his hand, the iron hook on the rope was nailed to the bow of the boat, and the boat was on fire and pulled directly to the river bank.
This sudden change made Yuhua Rakshasa unable to laugh anymore. She hurriedly followed the boat after him.
"Where are you fisherman?"
The fisherman did not care, speeding up the cable and dragging the boat to the shore.
Three, two, and one, seeing that the burning ship was about to dock.
Yuhua Rakshasa was furious, and a pair of throwing knives and a shot, the knife went straight to the fisherman. The fisherman seems to have taken a heavier grip on him.
The seven and eight flying knives in the sky all told him to go next, and as soon as the two flying knives received their hands, they threw them out, but they took the lives of the two people behind Yuhua out.
Yuhua Rakshasa was surprised.
The fisherman's face was half obscured by his hat, and he turned out to be an agile warrior.
Yuhua Rakshasa's flying knife no longer pounced on the fisherman, but a flying knife, holding the rope directly, trying to cut the rope, so that he could not save the leopard and others.
With a bang, the rope was cut by a knife, but the boat still drifted with the current towards the shore.
Less than ten feet from the riverbank, the fisherman shouted, "Jump ashore!"
Cuicui first picked up Qingqing and went ashore, and the leopard was thinking about going back to the boatman and jumping ashore, when he saw that the boatman was gone.
Not only the captain was not there, but neither were the two sailors.
He couldn't help but be stunned, are they still putting out the fire in the cabin?
At this time, there was fire everywhere on the ship, and the leopard, in a hurry to save people, rushed into the burning cabin, and shouted: "Uncle!
No response.
The leopard thought: Can they escape?
At this time, Cuicui, who had jumped ashore, shouted anxiously: "Brother Leopard, you go ashore quickly!"
The leopard had to jump ashore.
Cuicui complained to him, "Are you going to die! What are you doing in the boat?"
"I, I wanted to go to my uncle, but he was gone. β
Cuicui said: "They are people on the water, can't they dive and escape, do they want you to save them? They may have swam away!"
The fisherman, who was half-covered, suddenly said, "Get out of the way, the woman has struck again!"
Sure enough, three throwing knives came.
The leopard was in a hurry to draw his sword, and his sleeves were fluttering together, and he couldn't move at all.
No other person who is so careless will be hit by a throwing knife and will not die or be seriously injured.
But the leopard swayed with a strangely thick aura of truth, forming a strong whirlwind, dangling the three flying knives that flew into the distance and falling down.
Cuicui gritted her teeth and said, "This old woman is so cruel!
However, Yuhua Rakshasa's boat was on the river and could not jump over.
When Yuhua Rakshasa saw the duck in his hand fly away, he was angry and hateful.
But she also felt that it was impossible to go ashore and kill the three little bastards, and that her left arm was wounded that even one of those bastards could not handle.
She waved her sleeve and ordered, "Let's go!"
Suddenly, an incomprehensible strange phenomenon occurred on the surface of the river: the Yuhua Rakshasa somehow hit the river and turned around. After turning a corner, I turned to the river.
Yuhua Rakshasa couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked the helmsman, "What's going on?"
The helmsman was stunned and said, "Madam, the villain doesn't know what happened!"
"Let me see the water. β
"Yes, ma'am!"
Two men dressed in black jumped into the water.
Leopard, Qingqing, and Cuicui saw strange things by the river.
The leopard asked, "What's wrong? How did they get around the river? Is there a punt like this?"
Qingqing said: "Be careful! I'm afraid this woman has some conspiracy!"
Cuicui is more sensitive, and she feels inexplicable and incredible when she sees it.
She couldn't help but worry that something would happen.
But the fisherman said, "I'm afraid there are martial arts masters underwater secretly helping you." When the boat docks, we can't let that woman run away anymore, lest she do more bad things near the Min River. β
The leopard was stunned: "Who is the martial arts master?"
Qingqing said: "No, the river has already gushed blood, didn't the people in the water harm those two water thieves?"
As he spoke, the Yuhua Rakshasa's boat was almost on the riverbank.
Cuicui said, "Brother Leopard, let's go kill Yuhua Rakshasa ." β
At that time, people jumped on the ship of the Yuhua Rakshasa.
Seeing that he couldn't go, the leopard couldn't let Cuicui venture on the boat alone.
He said to Qingqing: "Brother Qingqing, don't move when I get on the boat!"
People, like meteors, also jumped on the ship.
The fisherman said, "All right, I'm going to go up and play." Only Qingqing, who was inconvenient to move, was left on the shore.
She didn't dare to take it lightly, holding her sword and staring.
As soon as Cuicui jumped on the bow, Yuhua Rakshasa slashed her right hand with a knife and said viciously, "Little bastard!
Cuicui people came to the arrow, and said, "Thief woman, now it's your turn!"
As a single-handed, although his left arm was injured, Yuhua Rakshasa was still able to compete with Cuicui, and even better than Cuicui. But the leopard boarded the boat, and the eighteen swords of the coiling dragon shook out, completely pressing the force of the Yuhua Rakshasa together.
Yuhua Rakshasa led the people to the boat, and they called the fisherman over.
The experienced fisherman drove the thief off the boat first, so that the boat could not go away.
Then, like a hungry tiger, he rushed into the flock and threw the remaining four men in black into the river, or sent them to the western heavens.
Faced with a group of subordinates brought by Yuhua Rakshasa, she left, died unexpectedly, was injured, and in the end, she was the only one alone.
Wielding a knife, she jumped into the river to escape.
Cuicui, looking dryly into the leopard's eyes.
Cui Cui stamped her feet and came to the leopard: "Why don't you stop her? let her escape? Okay! You go after her!"
The leopard felt that Cuicui had no reason to complain, and thought: I can't stop, why don't you stop her? How can I catch up with her?
He understood Cuicui's character, as long as he opened his mouth, her words would be endless, so he had to smile bitterly: "I, I don't understand water!"
The fisherman came out of the cabin and asked him, "Where is the Yuhua Rakshasa ?"
Cuicui pointed to the leopard: "You ask him to go." β
The leopard thought it funny again, and asked me, don't you know? He said, "She, she jumped into the water and ran away!"
The fisherman looked at the river, sensed something, and said to himself, "I'm afraid she won't be able to run away!"
Cuicui asked, "How do you know she can't run?"
The fisherman smiled and said, "I thought the tall man at the bottom wouldn't let her run away." β
After Qingqing got on the boat, he bowed deeply to the fisherman and said, "Thank you for your kindness in saving us." We will never dare to forget your kindness in this life. β
Among the three, Qingqing is more mature, and this is the case, first of all, I have to thank others for their salvation, unlike Cuicui and Leopard, who still have a childlike heart and don't know anything.
Qingqing said this, Leopard and Cuicui just remembered, and they didn't thank others for saving themselves.
Then they all thanked the fisherman.
Cuicui said, "We thank you!"
"No, no," said the fisherman, "don't do that. I can't stand it anymore. β
Cuicui felt that the fisherman's voice was very familiar just now, and couldn't help but ask from the head next to her, "Can the old man take off his hat and let us see what the old man looks like?"
The fisherman hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, I'm afraid of the sun, don't look." β
A fisherman, who fishes in the river day and night, is still afraid of the sun?
