Chapter 41: Wang Xiaohu's Broken Door Gun
On the way out of the city, many homeless people greeted Ji Ri and asked, "Ji Mantou, are you also going to run away?" ”
Ji Ri's face turned red when he heard this, and he said, "Who gave me this nickname, Zhenya!" I just went to the countryside to send some steamed buns to my relatives to eat, and people couldn't live anymore. If you don't have anything to eat, go to my shop and ask for a steamed bun, someone is staring at it, don't just have no rules. ”
The heart in the homeless man's eyes immediately let go when he mentioned his throat, and said: "You open and close your mouth, and the piles are not separated from the steamed buns, not what is the Ji steamed buns, hahahaha!" ”
The auspicious day stopped arguing and continued on his way. But Wang Xiaohu was quite indignant in it, and said: "These people called Hua Zi don't know what to do, and they will mock you if they eat your white food!" ”
"If they can be happy, it means that the world is still good, and if they make fun of me, make fun of me." Anyway, steamed buns are for people to eat, and no one eats them, which is called waste dim sum. The generosity of the auspicious day surprised Wang Xiaohu.
From Hou Ze to Changping, if you walk with your feet, even if you don't stop breathing, it will take two days to say the least. Walking to a fork in the road, Ji Ri was about to step up the official road, but was stopped by Wang Xiaohu.
"Don't go down the official road."
Ji Ri said strangely: "Why don't you take the official road?" The sheep intestine path is very difficult to walk at first glance, won't it delay the hour? ”
"You haven't walked the rivers and lakes, and you don't understand the joints. If it is usually the official road, it is easy to walk, but now that there is famine everywhere and the cold winter is approaching, it is inevitable that there will be robbers who cut the path to buy road wealth. It's a small matter to kill a few thieves, and Shoujin has been damaged, so we can't do this. ”
As soon as Ji Ri heard the same, he turned his head and went into the mountains and forests. The mountain road went a little deeper, and it was blocked by weeds, and Wang Xiaohu carried the burden and lifted the flower gun.
It seems to be a chaotic spear technique, but in a few strokes, the branches and leaves in front of him will be swept away, which will surprise the auspicious day.
"I thought I was a walker with a gun, but now I think I'm just an ordinary porter."
Wang Xiaohu cleared the obstacles in front of him, and said without looking back: "Your words are insulting the barrel of the gun." The carpenter said that it was not valuable, it was just new, and it needed to be maintained, but it was more than enough to be a whistle stick. ”
Ji Ri looked at the barrel of the gun carrying the luggage on his shoulder, and said: "Then you have to make it a whistle stick, and I can't, it's a crutch to death." ”
Wang Xiaohu stopped, turned his head and said solemnly towards Ji Ri: "If there is a long worm or a fierce tiger in front of you, can't this whistle stick resist the enemy?" ”
Seeing that Ji Ri didn't speak, Wang Xiaohu continued: "We people who practice martial arts have a jargon, called the gun that has been practiced for a long time with the sword and the moon stick. It is easiest for a stick to defend himself, but he can stab people to death just as well. ”
Ji Ri nodded and said, "Indeed, who said that you can't stab someone without a gun?" ”
Wang Xiaohu was about to argue, but he was like a slap in the face, and immediately hugged his fist to the auspicious day, and said: "It's really a word to wake up the person in the dream, it is worthy of an auspicious day, and it is really good luck!" ”
Ji Ri scratched his head, he suddenly thought of such a sentence, what kind of nerve did this Wang Xiaohu have?
I saw Wang Xiaohu take off the head of the gun, put it in the baggage, and continued to sweep the road with the barrel of the gun. Without the spearhead, the branches and leaves were much slower.
Ji Ri said helplessly: "When are you going to sweep this, don't be able to go to Changping for a month." ”
"You also carry the burden, sweep it together, and you can practice how to use the whistle stick, you have the ability to be around, it's better than others not leaving."
Ji Ri did as he did so, and sighed, "I really invited an uncle over." ”
That being said, the narrow sheep intestine path was widened and lengthened by two people working together. How Wang Xiaohu made a stick, the auspicious day also relied on the gourd to draw the scoop, but the scene of half a day gradually caught up with Wang Xiaohu's speed.
When the two of them went down the mountain, they finally saw the village in front of them, and the moon was already hanging high at this time. Ji Ri said: "We will stay here for the night, and we will go again tomorrow." But there is a section where I can't walk the mountain road anymore, and I don't know if I can arrive before the tailor comes out of the brocade for a long day. ”
The village in front of me is not very large, there are about dozens of families, and the two people who did not take the official road went down the mountain and just reached the middle of the village. While the moon was still bright, the two looked at a few larger houses and prepared to knock on the door to stay overnight.
"Is anyone there, the two of us are passing here, but there is no store, I wonder if we can make it convenient to spend the night?"
shouted several times in succession, but no one answered, so I had to find the next yard. This time the luck was good, but the door was opened by a woman dressed in linen and filial piety, and the tears were not dry. A few words said that it was inconvenient for the widow to stay at the door, and the two had to find another home.
There was a knock on the door of the third house, and it was an old woman who came out, and within a few words let the two in.
"Are you hungry, I'll make you some porridge to drink!" The old woman had a kind face, cleaned up the bed for the two, and asked casually.
Ji Ri hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need Grandma, we have dry food, and now the price of food is so expensive, why are you embarrassed to eat your porridge?" Get some sleep, and we'll continue on our way at dawn. ”
The old woman smiled and said, "It's okay, you can rest well." ”
Ji Ri took out two jujube cakes from his bag, handed them to the old woman, and said, "Grandma, thank you for allowing us to stay overnight, this is my heart." ”
The old woman laughed wrinkledly, took the jujube cake, and boasted: "What a handsome white-faced pillow!" I'll take it, and you guys have a good rest. ”
The old woman closed the door, and on the auspicious day, she and Wang Xiaohu took out jujube cakes and pickles and hastily ate them, then blew out the lamp and fell asleep.
The next morning, Ji Ri was not woken up by a rooster but by the cry outside the door. After Wang Xiaohu was woken up, the two made up the bed and went out to see that twenty or thirty men, women and children were wearing filial piety clothes. The team carried three coffins with the soul flags of the west, and walked all the way up the mountain.
"How could three people die in a row, and even the day of carrying the coffin can't be staggered?" Ji Ri frowned darkly, a little strange.
When the old woman heard the door of the courtyard ringing, she came out to take a look and said, "That's a family of three who starved to death a few days ago, and they are all people who do good deeds on weekdays." I don't have to shed tears for them, my wife is also like this, and I still have to live my life. ”
What kind of hard life can make an old woman say it so plainly, but I don't know how many tears have been shed behind her back.
Ji Ri suddenly felt sad and asked, "Grandma, don't you have a son and a half daughter to take care of?" ”
"I have a daughter, but she was kidnapped by gangsters, and it is enough to ask her to eat a mouthful of food." Speaking of the child, the old woman's emotions finally became excited, and she couldn't help crying.
Wang Xiaohu said: "Old man, we lived in your house for a night, and we walked the rivers and lakes, what is your daughter's name, if it is fate, we may be able to send you back!" ”
The old woman wiped her tears and said, "My daughter's name is Wu Qing. That night, I had just heard some movement, and the old woman's eyes were not good, and I saw a figure running away with my daughter! It's too late for me to shout, it's evil! ”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, causing the mourners to look sideways frequently, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them were carrying guns and sticks and there was no murder, I am afraid that they would have surrounded them a long time ago.
Even if you want to comfort the old woman, how to persuade the pain of losing her husband and child? After thinking about it, Ji Ri asked, "Grandma, do you have a pen and paper at home?" I'll write you something, and if you go to Getze City one day, you can go to the steamed bun shop and sit down. ”
The old woman waved her hand, indicating that there was no pen and paper at home, and she did not plan to leave the village. In desperation, the two had to bid farewell to the old woman and continue to rush to Changping.
"Ah Ri, why do you say that people who do good deeds starve to death?" The two walked on the official road, chatting with each other.
Ji Ri sighed: "How can there be so many whys, but do good deeds, don't ask about the future." Have you ever thought about falling grass when you can't eat? ”
Wang Xiaohu shook his head.
"So we don't need to think about this kind of question, and even if we come up with an answer, it will only chill our hearts."
Wang Xiaohu nodded as if he didn't understand.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, I rushed to Changping City in one day. I have to find a tailor, I can't delay! Ji Ri let out a cloudy breath and quickened his pace.
The mountain was originally between the two counties, and it would have saved nearly eighty miles to climb over it. Now there are only sixty or seventy miles left, and five or six hours will be there.
As Wang Xiaohu expected, after walking twenty or thirty miles, he really encountered a strong thief cutting the path.
"Yo, come out with the guys, the burden is really drumpy. Our brothers are a little tight on money, so it's not a problem to beat you up, right? "The thief and his party were nine men, all of them with a face, and it did not seem to be caused by a famine.
At this time, it was not the turn of the auspicious day to speak, Wang Xiaohu stood forward, shook the gun in his hand, and shouted: "Wang Xiaohu of Shanyang County is here, get out of the way of grandpa!" ”
The robber at the head snorted: "What's the big deal about breaking the gun, do you think you are Chai Rong?" Give it to me, brethren! With a wave of the big knife in his hand, the little brother with the nail-headed wood and the burning stick rushed forward one after another.
Wang Xiaohu smiled: "Good come! Grandpa hasn't opened meat for a few days, so I'll take your sacrificial gun today! ”
said that it was too late, and then it was fast, and a move was followed by a return pistol, one person was stabbed to death on the spot, and the other person was also hit in the thigh, and the blood did not stop.
As soon as the leader saw that the situation was not good, he raised his broadsword and rushed towards the auspicious day. The remaining six people saw that Wang Xiaohu's idea was piercing, but they just besieged but did not attack, and specially blocked the gun moves. Rao is like this, there is still one person who was stabbed in the right arm, and the blade in his hand was suddenly gone, and he could not fight again.
Ji Japan was afraid of affecting Wang Xiaohu's performance, so he hid far away. At this time, seeing the big sword coming straight towards his heavenly spirit cover, he suddenly burst into a rage, and picked up the whistle stick to sweep away thousands of troops.
Speaking of auspicious days, I don't know what it means to sweep thousands of troops, but it is the most convenient to sweep more grass and trees. The whistle was struck at the thief's sword, forcing him to temporarily change the knife and cross his chest instead.
The whistle stick did not break, and the big knife cut off the fingers of the auspicious day along the wooden stick. Wang Xiaohu was not in a hurry with the five people, and when he saw that the whistle stick on the auspicious day was released, he suddenly became anxious.
A green dragon swung its tail to catch the meteor to catch the moon, and smashed it on the hind leg with a burning stick, and Wang Xiaohu shook his feet and stabbed the throat of the big knife thief. In an instant, blood was flying, and he didn't even look at it, but reflexively covered the moon and swept up and swept before forcing the remaining five people back.
Ji Ri saw Wang Xiaohu come to the rescue regardless of his life, and said: "It's really thanks to you, otherwise I would have died!" Are you okay with your legs? ”
Wang Xiaohu wiped the blood on the head of the gun with the thief's clothes, and said helplessly: "I rushed forward, and I couldn't smash it." It's you, you have to practice the stick method well, last time you were brave and resourceful against the bandits, how can you be the same as the soft-footed shrimp this time? ”
