Chapter 348: Treachery is not allowed
After Lin Manliu and Jiang Yanlin left, about half an hour passed. Dong Lao Er went upstairs to tidy up the room of the two of them and collected the money for the store.
Looking at the extra money, Dong Lao Er could only shake his head helplessly, and then sighed again.
These six brothers are out of the house, and there are places to spend money, so I don't know how to save a little bit... Just when he felt a lot of emotion, there was a faint sound outside the post station.
The sound of someone's chatter, the neighing of horses, is it someone who wants to rest? Dong Lao Er pushed open the door of the house and trotted downstairs, threw the rag in his hand to his shoulder, and began to shout before he saw the figure outside the post station.
"The guest officer passing by is still staying in the hotel? It's still a little early, and the shop has just boiled some tea..."Just as he was about to introduce himself, Dong Lao Er raised his eyes to take a look.
found that outside the post gate at this time, how many officers and soldiers were riding Yanyang? In the early morning, when the sky was not yet fully bright, even if only the dim light reflected on their bright red armor, it still reflected the lines of those armor in a brilliant light.
Dong Lao Er didn't stand firm for a while, and the whole person fell backwards, and his hands were held indiscriminately before he inevitably fell to the ground.
"Big brother, this man in the south is also a little intimidated..."
"One by one is like seeing a ghost, big brother, are we so scary?"
"Huh?" The Yanyang soldier at the head glanced at the two people beside him, and the two horsemen immediately fell silent and stopped talking.
Dong Lao Er forcibly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, got up and respectfully bowed to a few people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you need to rest... The little ones are going to serve tea to the officials..."Looking at the trembling legs of the young man in the store, the Yanyang soldier led by him did not continue to speak, and directly turned over and dismounted to find a seat and sit down.
Seeing this, Dong Lao Er rushed to the back kitchen and carried the freshly heated tea off the stove. In fact, he has also seen the Yanyang soldiers, and when he went out of the village to dig medicine, he saw these officials wearing clothes all over his body from a distance.
Watching them gallop on horseback, he felt extremely handsome. But now that I look at it so closely, there is only timidity left in my eyes.
The young man skillfully poured the tea in the pot to several officials, and thought about respectfully retreating to the side and staying.
It only takes less than half an hour for Shopkeeper Yang to come to the store in person. At that time, the matters that deal with these officials can be handed over to the shopkeeper Yang, after all, these things are difficult for him to deal with.
Regarding Dong Laoer's cowardice, these passing Yanyang soldiers did not pay attention to it. In their eyes, the men in the south, up to those disciples of the high-ranking sects, and down to these ordinary people in the market, are just wastes that do not make up the climate.
As far as they are concerned, a real man should be clothed in armor, riding a high-headed horse and dancing a big sword during the day, and riding some good and thin horses in the middle of the night, and playing with a good silver gun.
The Yanyang soldier who was the leader, for some reason, suddenly turned his head to look at Dong Lao Er in the corner.
The latter also caught a glimpse of the gaze that was looking at him, and had to ask aloud.
"The official wants some food, and the little one will go to the back kitchen to get it..."The Yanyang soldier said with a slight smile: "I just want to ask the store about something, can you tell me one or two?" Seeing this, Dong Lao Er immediately lowered his head and said loudly: "The official can ask, and he will tell everything he knows!" As if looking at the young and strong man in front of him, he was quite interested, and the Yanyang soldier got up and walked over, and helped Dong Lao Er up with one hand.
Dong Laoer's timidity was still there, and the Yanyang soldiers patted him on the shoulder first, signaling not to be nervous. Then the young man looked at him, took out a scroll from the armor around his waist, and opened it.
On the scroll, there is a portrait of a teenager. Looking at his face and clear eyes, he knew at a glance that he was the son of the family.
Even the clothes and ornaments in the portrait are more luxurious than those Dong Lao Er has seen. In his impression, there should be no second person dressed like this.
But he'd seen this person... Isn't that the boy who walked with the six brothers? Although his clothes and hair bun have changed, the spirit on his face has not changed.
Dong Lao Er couldn't help but take a step back slightly, and soon began to pretend to be calm. But it was all too slow, not only the Yanyang soldier in front of him, but also the other two who were clamoring to talk nonsense, they were all looking at him with a scrutinizing eye... The man in charge laughed: "Have you seen this person in the store?" Dong Lao Er's words of warning flashed in his heart for a moment, but he soon thought that Lin Manliu must not have gone far at this time.
He opened his mouth and said, "Official... I haven't seen it..."The Yanyang officer and soldier said: "The shopkeeper really didn't talk about this person? In Dong Laoer's heart, the parting reminder of the six brothers was intertwined with his concerns.
Even with the young man's admonition first, he still wanted to stop that little more for them at the moment.
The young man spoke again: "Official, I really haven't seen it...", but for his previous performance, the instinctive retreat and the undisguised panic look on his face were undoubtedly giving full explanation to these Yanyang soldiers.
Suddenly, the man in charge clasped his hands on his shoulders and pressed his entire head against Dong Laoer's front door.
Under the four eyes like this, the Yanyang soldier said loudly: "We already know the store's reply, so we can only ask the shopkeeper to go with us..."
At this moment, some thoughts flashed in his heart, whether to confess the six brothers to protect themselves? Just as he was about to call out his whereabouts, he found that he was starting to grit his teeth and keep himself from speaking.
I still remember that when Uncle Qing first arrived, he never gossiped with him. It is said that in life, you always have to fight for something, and if you don't fight for it, there will be nothing in the future.
At that time, he could only tell Uncle Qing that he didn't understand this, and he didn't want to fight with others. Now that I think about it, it's not to fight for anything, but I can't let myself regret it.
How can even a small person do such perfidious things? Even if it is your request from the six brothers, how can I grant it?
Who asked you, call me Brother Dong. Dong Lao Er looked at him and spoke again: "I... I haven't seen it before..."His eyes and his words made the Yanyang soldiers in front of him feel a sudden increase in disgust, and then increased the force in his hands.
The young man only felt that his shoulders were about to be crushed by the person in front of him.
"If you say it earlier, you will suffer some flesh and skin! Let's go! The man said coldly. The other two Yanyang soldiers behind him raised their hands and lifted the post station tables and chairs, making way for their eldest brother to make his debut.
This sound alarmed the villagers near the post station to look over, and found that it was the Yanyang officers and soldiers here, and hurriedly withdrew their gaze.
As they evaded, Dong Lao Er was tied up with ropes by the man and dragged to the back of the mount.
With the whip in the hand of the Yanyang soldier, the young man was dragged up by the three people and three horsemen, and walked towards the mountains and forests outside Lotus Bay.
Dong Lao Er endured the pain all the way and let the stone run across his back. Gradually, an extremely long blood mark began to be dragged on the dirt along the road.
After all, the young man couldn't help it, and began to gasp loudly to alleviate the pain on his body.
The Yanyang soldier at the head shouted, "Do you remember where you have seen the shopkeeper?" After hearing this, Dong Lao Er gritted his teeth again and stopped making a sound.
"Your behavior is no different from deceiving the government, but it will implicate the children in the family, even so, you have to keep your mouth shut?" The soldier's threatening words sounded again, and Dong Lao Er locked his eyes and didn't think about those things, but still didn't say anything.
The Yanyang soldier on the side looked back and reminded in a low voice: "Big brother, this will kill someone...", the other person also chimed in: "Big brother, if General Chu knows about this, what should we do..."Before this person finished speaking, the horse led by him immediately shouted: "If this person really knows his whereabouts, I will give General Chu an explanation!" While he reprimanded, he also glanced back at Dong Laoer, and then jumped off the horse.
I estimated in my heart, it is true that I will continue to be tortured like this, and the follow-up torture has not yet been carried out, and it is estimated that this little two should stop eating.
"The shop... I still need to thank our 'bodhisattva heart' in advance, and I might as well go home early if I speak it out soon..."Dong Lao Er was already speechless in pain at this time, and his whole body shrank in place, even if there was a grain of wind and sand passing through his back, it would make his whole person convulse.
The young man whimpered: "I don't know... I haven't seen it..."The Yanyang soldier felt a pang in his heart, and immediately handed out a kick and stepped on Dong Laoer's arm.
The screams resounded in the mountains and forests, waking up countless birds and birds sleeping soundly in the treetops. For a time, the birds and finches in the whole mountain forest scattered, or flapped their wings and flew high, or collided with each other in the forest.
It made these Yanyang soldiers even more annoyed, and together with the two people behind him, they also turned over and dismounted, surrounding Dong Lao Er, who was shrunk to the ground.
"It's only a matter of time before we find him, so why cover it up here?"
"Really... I haven't seen it..."Listening to the young man at their feet, he still said the same thing.
The three of them glanced at each other, and then understood. Each of them handed out one kick after another, and stepped straight towards Dong Laoer's body.
"Control some strength, but don't let him die..."
"Understood! Eldest brother! ”
"This kind of sick seedlings are much more fun than those mountain bandits... It's a kind of spicy pleasure to destroy flowers! ”
"It's really vulgar enough, will you see a person with fine skin and tender meat one day in the future, and you still have to pout people?" Dong Laoer's consciousness gradually began to blur, and he couldn't hear the absurd words of these people clearly.
But he could vaguely hear that they didn't want to kill themselves, so it was great that he could delay the time for the six brothers and save their lives... As long as you survive this beating, you can go back to the village and lie down for a while, and then you can go down to the ground again to take care of the post station for Shopkeeper Yang.
As long as you can work at the post station for a long time, you can save more money, and wait for Uncle Qing to propose to you next year.
As long as the girl also likes herself, it will be even better. Thinking of this, all these pains on my body actually don't hurt anymore, and it seems that I can hold on for a little longer.
Gradually, a light rain began to fall in the sky. The rain wet the armor of the three Yanyang soldiers, wet Dong Laoer's face, and splashed in the muddy puddle beside him.
"Big brother, this person hasn't moved?"
"Big brother, you're still panting when you touch it, or..."
"Gone, what a fucking bad luck!" The young man seemed to hear the sound of the three people going away, and he opened his eyes with difficulty, and found that the three men had really ridden away.
I've finally survived, and it's time for me to go back to the post station to report to Shopkeeper Yang that I'm safe... I can't let Shopkeeper Yang wait, otherwise what if I deduct my salary in the future... Dong Lao Er's hands were propped up in the wet mud, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hold himself up.
I don't know if the mud is too slippery at this time, he just feels that his body at this moment doesn't obey the call, and he can't get up.
Suddenly, there were shouts in my ears again... It can't be those guys coming back, right? The young man looked towards the entrance of the mountain forest.
He found someone running towards him, calling out his name, but he couldn't see the latter's face.
Listening to these shouts, it seems that there are men and women.
"Brother Dong, what's wrong with you! Wake up, I'll take you home! ”
"Dong Lao Er! Don't sleep! Hurry up and wake me up, when Lao Zhang called me before, I had already called the village doctor! "It seems to be the shopkeeper Yang... And Zhang Xiaomei... Dong Lao Er looked at the face of the woman in front of him and wanted to raise his arm, but when he hung in the air, he fell to the ground with a bang.
He could no longer see or hear.
