Chapter 14: The Trojan Horse
Ziqing blurted out in a hurry: "Don't kill us, we are from Jinshi Villa." ”
"Oh, who are you from Goldstone Villa?" the captain knew about Goldstone Villa, the richest family in the area, and motioned for the soldiers to stop.
Seeing this situation, Old Man Zhou took a turn for the better, and his spirit suddenly lifted, and he forgot to put it on his neck, raised his head, and said: "These three sisters are the children of the owner, let us go, the owner of the village will definitely thank you again." After hearing this, the captain said, this is a rich man, a piece of fat, he should knock it well: "This can be considered, that boy, who is it?" asked Amaterasu.
Old man Zhou was afraid of being implicated by Amaterasu, so he hurriedly said: "That kid is from outside, not from our village, and he is temporarily stored here." ”
The captain heard that a nameless boy was killed and left a few people from the villa to exchange for some silver, and today it seemed that this trip was earned, and the plan had been decided, and he instructed the soldiers: "Drag that kid over and kill him on the spot." ”
The three soldiers escorted Amaterasu to the other chief, and the captain pulled out his knife and said with a cruel smile: "Boy, if you want to blame it, you don't have long eyes, you actually dare to touch the son of the county lord, and the next time you are reincarnated, you will have a longer memory."
As he spoke, he raised his knife high and beckoned to his neck.
Amaterasu was gloomy and sad, a trace of despair swept through his heart, thinking about his father's revenge and his mother's whereabouts unknown, he couldn't help but burst into tears, but then gritted his teeth, straightened his chest, and glared angrily at the captain. ”
"What is the king's law, Lao Tzu is the king's law now, kill you a kid, what are you afraid of, there are big backers in the county lord's court. ”
The captain was a little surprised to see him behave like this at such a young age, and when he saw Amaterasu's fierce gaze, his anger soared, and he raised his knife to cut off his neck.
Amaterasu is not afraid, Zijun is teary-eyed, and Ziqing is anxious.
Ziqing said sharply: "Stop! After I let me go home, we can give you a lot of money, let him go." Amaterasu was very moved when he heard that there were still people watching him like this at a critical moment. looked over gratefully, just met Ziqing's worried gaze, a warmth rose in his heart, and he completely forgot that his life was hanging by a thread.
The captain's knife stopped, thinking of Zeng Gongzi's order, in case someone under his command leaked the news, his own life would be a little difficult to protect, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
"We can give you as much money as you want!" Zijun said in an accentuated tone.
The captain hesitated, and a man in black watched from a distance, it was the butler who arranged the messenger, and said impatiently: "If you want to kill all of them, you can't keep any of them, otherwise the news will be leaked, and you can't afford it, don't rub it off." "The man in black knows the powerful relationship, and he doesn't care about Zeng Gongzi's orders.
The captain said in his heart, it seems that it will not work to earn some extra money, and ordered the rest of the people: "Kill them all, and leave no one behind." ”
Old man Zhou just saw that there was a turnaround, thinking that he had saved his life, but he didn't know that he would still be able to escape death, crying and complaining: "It's all you, kid, who caused such a big thing, and the game is over." ”
Ziding also couldn't stop crying, and asked: "Sister, we died like this, and my mother can't find us" Amaterasu couldn't bear it, it didn't matter if he died, he also affected others, and shouted "Help, someone's coming, someone is going to kill someone."
"Shouting in vain, who will come to save you in this barren mountain and wilderness. ”
Amaterasu looks around and is indeed deserted, this is a small road, there will be no one at all, even if there are people, they don't dare to take care of these idle things, it seems that today is really dead.
Once again, the captain raised his sword above his head.
Amaterasu closed his eyes in despair, the knife did not fall, but he heard a terrible scream. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the captain had a flying knife stuck in his throat, his eyes bulged out like a dead fish, and the knife in his right hand was weak to hold, and he fell to the ground, and his body immediately fell backwards, blood gushing down. The rest of the soldiers, seeing this scene, were at a loss, and even the person holding Amaterasu's hands unconsciously let go of their hands.
I don't know when there were more than a dozen people in the back, and they were all dressed up.
The captain was dead, and the man in black forced himself to calm down and said, "What kind of person, what a bold man, this is the county lord's person handling the case, dare to obstruct official business, I am simply impatient!"
The person who came laughed and said: "Hey, hey, the county lord also does this kind of murderous and oversold business." Amaterasu felt familiar, turned around and looked, it turned out to be Dong Xiaoshan here, Dong Xiaoshan was originally the flag holder when his father was a marshal, and later became the head of the family nursing home, so he was naturally very familiar. When I saw my acquaintance, I was so excited that I exclaimed: "Uncle Dong"
Dong Xiaoshan walked quickly to Amaterasu and said, "It's so dangerous, it's almost there, I can't save you." Kindly touched Amaterasu's head: "I haven't seen it for half a year, and it's gone up again."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black ordered the cowering soldiers: "Go up and kill these robbers for me, and go back to report to the county lord and his old man, and give everyone a heavy reward." ”
I don't know if it's the temptation of heavy rewards, or the fear of punishment after going back, more than a dozen soldiers waved their knives and pounced, Dong Xiaosan waved his hand to the people behind him, and more than a dozen people behind him stepped forward to meet them, each looking for an opponent, and after a few rounds, the county lord's soldiers all fell, humming and chirping, and couldn't get up. The man in black turned over and got on the horse, taking advantage of the chaos to escape, Dong Xiaosan threw the knife in his hand hard, pierced his back from the chest, rolled off the horse, and saw that he couldn't live.
The flying monkey smiled playfully: "If you want to go, at least say hello." "Because of his good light body skills, the flying monkey can find out the news and rescue people, so he was specially asked by the Purple Cloud Daoist from Jin Jianming to assist Dong Xiaoshan.
Dong Xiaoshan quickly asked the reason and said, "Kill them all, and leave no one behind." "Things in the world change so quickly, and the situation quickly reverses.
The more than a dozen soldiers fell to their knees and pleaded: "I beg you, good Khan, let us go, we are just being sent by others, and we can't help ourselves." Amaterasu couldn't bear to say: "Uncle Dong, if you don't let them go, their leaders are dead." The soldiers were already wounded, grinning in pain, but in order to survive, they held back the pain: "Pleading, let us go, we promise not to say anything, we can swear to God." ”
Dong Xiaoshan hesitated: "Since the little young master intercedes for you, then okay, let you go, don't do bad things in the future, don't talk nonsense about today's things, swear." ”
When the soldiers saw that they had a chance to live, they should not swear an oath, and they would not have to ask him to knock a hundred times.
Hurry up and swear that it is important to save your life.
"Get out, all the horses stay, if you do evil again in the future, you will never be spared. Dong Xiaosan said.
A group of soldiers stumbled and crawled away, regardless of the pain on their bodies, for fear that they would be late, what if they regretted it!
But Amaterasu had a trace of worry in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Dong Xiaoshan said: "Let's go, lead these horses, wait a while, and take them to Jinshi Villa with our horses." ”
Zijun's sisters still got into the carriage, and Old Man Zhou saw that this group of people obeyed Amaterasu's words, it seems that this kid has some identity, after all, he was a little too much just now, and smiled at Amaterasu: "Little master, please get in the carriage, the carriage is much more comfortable." This kind of person, Amaterasu didn't bother to pay attention to him, didn't answer, turned around and walked away, and rode ahead with Dong Xiaosan.
Turning a corner, I saw a person taking care of more than ten horses, and the horse keeper saw Dong Xiaosan coming, and ushered in: "Brother Dong, this is Amaterasu?"
Dong Xiaoshan smiled: "Fortunately, he was rescued in time." ”
It turned out that Dong Xiaoshan and others rushed to Jinshi Villa first, asked about Amaterasu's whereabouts, refused Lin Yishi's retention, came to meet Amaterasu, and rushed to rest at the turn for a while, just saw Amaterasu and others in distress, more than ten people sneaked over quietly and rescued Amaterasu.
A group of people, not long to the villa, Lin Yishi personally went to the villa to greet outside, everyone entered the villa, just when it was time to eat, Lin Yishi arranged for everyone to eat, Lin Yishi said: "Everyone is here, just stay longer." ”
Dong Xiaoshan's main task is to pick up Amaterasu, and there is to find Amaterasu's mother, Amaterasu continued, his mother has not heard from him, but he dare not delay, Dong Xiaoshan smiled apologetically: "Thank you Meiyi, we still have other things, we dare not delay for a long time, if the matter is done, there will be time in the future, come back and stay for a few more days." During the banquet, Dong Xiaoshan suddenly remembered that releasing more than ten soldiers would bring danger to the villa, so he reminded him: "Amaterasu was held hostage by the county lord and was almost killed, I released those soldiers, the owner of the village should be careful in the future."
Lin Yishi said disapprerovantly: "It's okay, as long as he doesn't do illegal things and is caught by him, the county lord doesn't dare to come nonsense and make some people harass him, and my family is not a vegetarian." ”
Amaterasu reminded: "Uncle, you should also be careful, you are not afraid of the bright, for fear that he will secretly make trouble." ”
Lin Yishi nodded and said: "What the virtuous nephew said makes sense, I will personally come to the door another day and send him some silver taels, and the governor will also send some, it shouldn't be a big deal." ”
Early the next morning, Dong Xiaoshan and his entourage bid farewell to Lin Yishi, and Lin Yishi personally sent it to the outside of the village, and Lin Yishi asked someone to send silver: "A little money, keep it for spending on the road." Dong Xiaoshan did not resolutely refuse, it was inconvenient to go out without money, not to mention that he also gave Lin Yishi more than ten good horses.
After receiving the money, he hugged his fists and said, "Farewell!"
Amaterasu was still riding with Dong Xiaoshan, and just after walking a few steps, he heard a little girl's voice shouting behind him: "Wait a minute"
Amaterasu turned his head to look back, only to see Ziqing and Zijun running one after another.
Ziqing also held a painted black wooden horse in his hand, gasped for breath, and said, "I bought a wooden horse for you yesterday, but I didn't have time to give it to you, and I got up late today to give it to you." ”
Amaterasu saw this Trojan horse in the toy store yesterday, but he didn't expect Ziqing to buy it for himself, he didn't know it yet, and his eyes overflowed with gratitude, but he was afraid that people would see it, so he quickly suppressed his emotions and hurriedly reached out to catch it. This wooden horse is the size of a palm, with a black body, a high head and neck, bright eyes, a white collar tattooed on the neck, and four hooves as white as snow, like a wooden horse that my father bought for himself. Amaterasu really liked it, rubbed his head with his hand, and said to Ziqing, "Thank you, a great gift." ”
Zijun then rushed over and reluctantly said, "Remember to come to us in the future." "Its gaze is as clear as water, rippling with sparkling waves.
"I'll come to you later. Amaterasu was reluctant to leave in order to find his mother. He turned his head frequently on the horse until he could no longer see them. Dong Xiaoshan couldn't help but smile: "Childe, don't look at it, be careful of spraining your neck." Hurry up, save your mother early, and let you come back for a few more days. Amaterasu reluctantly withdrew his gaze. The group hurried towards Kyoto, kicking up a cloud of dust.
