Chapter 53: Extermination
This person is the reason why my uncle is in a hurry to leave the temple.
Shen Ge's mind was full of disappointment, and his slightly childish face was full of disappointment, "You weren't sent by the Hu family to pick up Mrs.?" There is only Mrs. Hu on the mountain, and there is no master. Can't you take Madame back first? β
Nonsense! The man in gray continued to inquire about the news, "We only pick up the master, if you can help find my master, I can pick you up and follow us to eat and drink spicy food." β
Phew!
Shen Ge secretly groaned in his heart, but his eyebrows that had just been lowered lit up again, and he pretended to be surprised, "Can you really take me away?" Where are you going? β
The man in gray continued to coax, "Of course, but you have to help me find my master." β
"Then we're done! What's your lord's name? There are several old men on the mountain, I don't know which one is. Shen Ge continued to talk to the man in gray, stalling for time.
The man in gray only said, "My master's surname is Shen." β
Shen Ge raised his hand and straightened the hat on his head, "Shen is the surname of our Hao Lianzhai, and it is not easy to find only one surname." Uncle, did you come by yourself? Did anyone come with you to find Mrs. Hu? Mrs. Hu said that her family would definitely send someone to pick her up, and promised me five taels of silver to help her run errands. β
The man in gray had begun to get impatient, "I'm the only one, you take me to the mountains to find my master, and I'll give you ten taels of silver." β
Seeing that this kid didn't believe it, the man in gray didn't say a word, took out two pieces of broken silver and threw them over.
Shen Ge took a bite, took off the small hat on his head with bright eyes, presented it with both hands, and said flatteringly, "Uncle, don't let the rain get sick, it's not easy to walk in the forest, let's go up the mountain road." β
The gray-clothed man put on his hat and followed Shen Ge towards the mountain.
Worried that Shen Shangzhi had not yet laid an ambush outside the temple gate, Shen Ge and the gray-clothed man did not take the mountain road that was often taken from the Guanyin Temple, but took another path. While walking, he talked to the man in gray behind him, pretending to ask if his family had a lot of money, whether he had a lot of fields, what he could do if he went back, how much he was paid a month, and so on.
The man in gray coped briefly, and suddenly heard the chaotic footsteps and shouts in the woods, and immediately stopped, holding his knife and looking.
Shen Ge also pretended to pull his neck and looked at it a few times, and sighed, "I heard the sound of the drum and went down to see it, by the way, uncle, who beat the drum under the mountain, what are you doing with the drum?" β
"Xu is from the village." The man in gray responded impatiently, "Go faster." β
"Oh, good." Shen Ge's footsteps quickened slightly, and when he could see the temple gate, Shen Ge looked at the bamboo forest not far from the temple gate, and finally his eyes fell on the blind man of Ma Er, who had just walked out of the temple gate, and shouted, "Hey, who is it, you two wait a minute!" β
The two subordinates of Ma Er's blind man heard Shen Ge shouting like this, and saw that the marksman fool in the East Courtyard was not there, so they glared and scolded back, "You stinky boy shouted that grandpa did something!" β
Shen Ge stepped forward with the gray-clothed man and asked, "When you entered the temple the day before yesterday, where did you drive the tall old man with injuries in the backyard to go?" β
Listening to Shen Ge's words, the gray-clothed man narrowed his eyes and turned his attention to these two guys who were obviously not good people.
After they entered the temple, they occupied the backyard and drove all the people out of the backyard. As for whether there is an old man among those people, which one will care! Ma Er's blind man's subordinates pushed Shen Ge away and left, "Lao Tzu is busy, get out of the calf." β
Shen Ge pretended to staggered two steps back, and the man in gray raised his hand to stop Ma Er's blind man's subordinates, and asked gloomily, "What about people?" β
Ma Er's blind man's subordinates were shocked by the momentum of the gray-clothed man, and muttered, "It's not in the main hall, it's in the west courtyard, you can find it yourself." β
The gray-clothed man's eyes lit up, and he raised his eyes to look at the temple gate.
This is the moment!
Shen Ge, who had moved behind the man in gray, stabbed the man in gray in the back of the heart with a dagger, but as soon as the dagger hit the other party's clothes, the man in gray pushed down Ma Er's blind man's subordinates and jumped to avoid it.
Shen Ge stepped on the stomach of Ma Er's blind man, and the dagger chased and stabbed him, but his body was not as fast as the man in gray, and the man in gray turned around and blocked the dagger with a knife, and raised his foot to kick Shen Ge's chest.
Shen Ge rolled to the ground and just avoided the legs of the gray-clothed man, but the knife in the opponent's hand had already been cut down, and the speed was incredibly fast.
"Look at the hidden weapon!"
Shen Ge shouted, and a handful of dirt was thrown towards the gray-clothed man's front door. The man in gray flew to dodge the half-sword to resist, and his anger rose after realizing that he had been deceived.
"He has a lot of money on him, the brothers take him down, and we will divide it equally." Shen Ge shouted as he ran towards the bamboo forest outside the temple gate.
This damn stinky boy must be Shen Shangzhi's gang! The gray-clothed man held the knife and stared at the temple gate, and the people at the temple gate were so frightened that they took a few steps back, they were not fools, and they were in a hurry to find death. Even Ma Er's blind men on the ground avoided it even by rolling and crawling on the ground.
The gang was not afraid, and the man in gray smiled coldly.
"Look at the hidden weapon!"
Shen Ge, who ran to the edge of the bamboo forest, smashed a handful of muddy stones at the gray-clothed man.
The man in gray dodged away, and when he found out that he had been fooled again, he was furious, "You are looking for death!" β
Seeing that the man in gray chased after him with a knife, Shen Ge ran two steps into the forest with a shout, and shouted "Look at the hidden weapon", smashing out a handful of stones with muddy water.
This time, the man in gray didn't even hide, he just wanted to kill this stinky boy quickly, and enter the temple to find Shen Shangzhi as soon as possible after retrieving the silver.
But after the muddy water stuck to his face, it made him itch unbearably! The man in gray secretly said that it was not good, and immediately dodged behind a few bamboos, raised his sleeves to wipe his face.
"Poof!"
The gray-clothed man who had just raised his sleeves was shocked, slowly lowered his head, and stared at the tip of the Sen Leng sword that came out of his chest in disbelief.
Shen Ge, who jumped back, stepped forward and stabbed the gray-clothed man in the neck with a dagger.
After the tip of the sword was withdrawn, the gray-clothed man fell to the ground limply, blood flowing down the pierced sword hole in the bamboo.
Shen Ge quickly swept the things on the gray-clothed man's body, pulled off the thick bamboo hairpin on his head, and got up and smiled at Shen Shang who came out of the dense bamboo.
Shen Shangzhi, who was carrying a sword, smiled and asked, "How do you know that the old man is hiding here?" β
Shen Ge said truthfully: "It feels like you're here." Now the crisis is over. The Lin family's big ship has arrived, shall we take a boat? β
"These people rarely act alone, and his accomplices should have gone down the mountain to find out the source of the drums, and they will soon catch up."
Shen Shangzhi stared at the brave and resourceful young man in front of him very seriously, he and the gray-clothed man fought at the gate of the temple and was witnessed by others, he would definitely be considered his own group by the gray-clothed man's accomplices, and he could only take him away.
"You use this knife and darts to me, let's ambush on the way down the mountain, we must kill the remnants one by one, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
"Good!"
Shen Ge responded fearlessly, seeing that Shen Shangzhi couldn't even walk, he hurriedly said, "Uncle Ancestor hides, I'll go to ambush." There is itching medicine, and I am 70% sure. β
Shen Shangzhi shook his head, "Help me go, quickly." Otherwise, not only you and me, but Mrs. Lin's family will be affected. β
Shen Ge turned around and bent over, "I'll carry you over." β
"Folks, fathersβ"
On the steps of the main hall in the temple, Ma Wang, who was standing next to Ma Er's blind man, shouted loudly, "Fellow villagers and elders, there are two big boats coming down from the mountain, and there is food and drink on the boats. Our homes were flooded, our loved ones were washed away by the water, and there was nothing left! Only by getting on the boat can we have a way to live, eat and drink. Later, after the official's wife in the east courtyard comes out, let's beg her to take us on the boat, she will definitely not die without help, everyone said right? β
"Yes!"
"That's it!"
"Two big ships, we can't take up much space and eat much!"
"Saving people's lives, winning the seventh-level floating slaughter, she can't help but save us!"
"Get on the boat, Lao Tzu wants to get on the boat!"
"Get on board!"
Dozens of people in the backyard, the main hall, and the west courtyard shouted together, all wanting to firmly seize this opportunity to escape.
