Volume 2 Rain Chapter 74 Strayed into the mountains and rivers
In the morning, the snowflakes of the wax moon fluttered, and the crisp footsteps of the wooden floor paused outside the house.
"Guest officer, it's cold today, the shopkeeper said to send a brazier to each guest room, and put it outside the house for you, if you need it, get up and bother the guest officer to take it by himself."
After the innkeeper finished speaking, the footsteps walked away, thinking that he was going to bring another brazier.
In the room, Wang Xiaoliu was lying on the bed and slowly opened his eyes, grinning in pain just when he wanted to move his body.
After the battle of No Return to the City, Wang Xiaoliu was scarred, although he was also treated by the medicine immortals at that time, but his injuries were different from others, and the demonic qi attached to the attacks of several demons penetrated deep into the bone marrow and internal organs, even if it had been expelled, it would take a long time to recover.
The Medicine Immortal had said that it would not be difficult for him to be alive in three or two days, but in that case, the upper limit of his future achievements would be limited, and the gains would outweigh the losses, but after eradicating the demonic qi and internal injuries in his body, he would slowly recuperate without leaving sequelae.
"Those guys haven't shown up all night, didn't something happen?"
Wang Xiaoliu muttered in his heart, Yun Tianfeng and the others took care of him for more than half a month, and they had many exchanges with each other and reached some consensus.
The city of no return is gone after all, the last rope that tied Wang Xiaoliu was broken, and now he is like a prodigal son, the world is where his dreams are, and the scholar who studied with him made him yearn for it, and at this moment, he is like a new life.
It's just that he has been in the city of no return for more than ten or twenty years, Wang Xiaoliu is very arrogant on the surface, but in fact, he is meticulous in his heart, and some abnormalities are easy for him to think more.
"Boom! Boom! ”
"Who?"
"May I ask if there is Wang Xiaoliu and Boss Wang?"
"Who are you?"
"Boss Wang, we are from Luoyuan Town, and we were entrusted to pick up Boss Wang, can we come in?"
Without waiting for Wang Xiaoliu to answer, the door of the room was pushed open.
Immediately afterwards, three men dressed in coarse cloth entered the house.
Wang Xiaoliu fixed his eyes and saw that these three people were in their thirties and forties, one of them had a scruffy beard, and the other two had white beards, but their faces were full of vicissitudes.
"Boss Wang, there is a son who claims to be surnamed Yun and asked us to pick up Boss Wang, and said that Boss Wang's health is not very convenient, so we are offended."
After one of the men finished speaking, the other two people beside him rolled up their sleeves and came over, ready to carry Wang Xiaoliu away.
Wang Xiaoliu immediately stretched out his right hand to stop it, frowned and asked, "How can I trust you?" Is there a token? ”
"Tokens?"
The three men were stunned for a moment, and the leader said embarrassedly: "Yun Gongzi just gave a deposit, saying that he was a friend of Boss Wang, and he didn't give any tokens, and he seems to be in a hurry, so Boss Wang will go with us." ”
"That's it, please help me get up first." Wang Xiaoliu said with a smile.
The two men walked to the bedside, and one of them grabbed Wang Xiaoliu's arm from the side to help him up, put on his clothes, and prepared to help him downstairs to get into the carriage together.
Wang Xiaoliu was silent, waited until he got out of bed, walked to the bed, his eyes widened suddenly, and his tired body burst out in an instant, and the only strength pushed the two men away, and then one turned over and jumped from the window of the guest room.
The faces of the three men changed suddenly, and they hurriedly rushed to the window to poke their heads out, only to see that on the street downstairs, Wang Xiaoliu staggered into the crowd and went away.
"What should Brother Zhang do? Why did this Boss Wang jump off the building and run away, how can we explain to Yun Gongzi when we go back? ”
"Yes, Brother Zhang, Yun Gongzi only gave us five taels of silver, and the remaining ten taels have to be given to us when I go back with Boss Wang, if we lose someone, then Yun Gongzi may take back the five taels of silver he gave before."
The leader was also anxious, gritted his teeth and said: "This boss Wang is seriously injured, I can't care so much for the silver, catch up, and tie it back, that Yun Gongzi and his party are Jianghu people at a glance, who knows if they will get angry, we ordinary people can't afford to offend these green forest heroes." ”
The three of them rushed downstairs and walked to the street, but they couldn't see Wang Xiaoliu's back, so they could only chase out in the direction where Wang Xiaoliu left before.
Besides, on the street, Wang Xiaoliu fled like a drunk, his body was weak, he really couldn't run fast, he felt a little weak after taking a few steps, and he could only try to find a hiding place in a panic.
Coincidentally, there is a courtyard not far from Wang Xiaoliu, the yard is not small, and there are many men outside the courtyard who have placed long tables with some notice papers on them, shouting at the street, some of them seem to be soliciting people passing by.
Wang Xiaoliu's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking in his heart, in the past in the city of no return, many rich families or bosses engaged in house construction often recruited people to work as coolies like this, and they didn't need to find any jobs, but it was good if they could sneak into the yard and hide for a while.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoliu staggered to the gate of the courtyard, and he had already thought of a rhetoric in his heart, just begging to get in as soon as possible.
"Yo, someone is finally here, please come in."
was different from what Wang Xiaoliu thought, the other party didn't ask more questions after seeing that he had passed, and immediately a person stepped forward to help Wang Xiaoliu into the courtyard, which made Wang Xiaoliu chuckle in his heart, and always felt that something was wrong.
As Wang Xiaoliu entered the courtyard, several men who were looking for people outside the house began to talk in a low voice.
"Head, this kid looks like a sick ghost, his body is weak, we want this kind of person too?"
"Why not? It was said above that we would recruit at least 100 people to join the gang in three days, and now that we have recruited more than 20 people on the third day, have you thought about how to deal with it? Anyway, let's get people back first. ”
"Also, recruiting sick ghosts will be said at most, but if you can't complete the task, you may have to suffer from flesh and skin, or think thoughtfully."
At the introduction of the gate of the courtyard, the three crop men hesitated, and their faces were cloudy.
"Brother Zhang, why did Boss Wang go here, this is a place for the Shanhe Gang to recruit people, if we want someone to be killed in the past, what can we do?"
"What else can I do? None of the people who entered here could come out, we just wanted to earn a little silver, but we couldn't put our lives on the line, so let's go back and tell Yun Gongzi, it's a big deal that we won't earn this silver! ”
……
"Mountains and rivers gang? That's a problem! ”
In the small restaurant in Luoyuan Town, Yun Mingxue, who was chatting with Yun Tianfeng and the others, heard the news brought by several croppers, and her face changed instantly.
Yun Tianfeng and the others were puzzled and looked over one after another.
Yun Mingxue explained: "The Shanhe Gang is a gang that has suddenly risen in the Yunxia Dynasty in the last year or two, no one knows where the gang's stronghold is, they are everywhere in the twenty cities of the entire dynasty, these guys are almost related to more than half of the cases in the entire dynasty in the past two years, the most important thing is that there is no actual evidence, even my father has a headache and is not good at encirclement and suppression, it can be said that in the Yunxia Dynasty, this Shanhe Gang is as terrible as those demons in the hearts of the people." ”
"Your friend is seriously injured, and now it is almost impossible to escape by himself by straying into the manor where the Shanhe Gang recruits new members, and he may even lose his life, and if the Shanhe Gang transfers him out of Qingya City, it will be difficult to find him again."
