Chapter 30: Running for Your Life
Immediately, the Red Dragon Gang killer on the top of the wall rolled down with a clanging sound of fighting.
Then there were seven or eight people, holding wooden sticks with crooked melons and cracked dates, jumping off the wall and blocking in front of Wei Zimo. The sticks were strong and blocked the oncoming arrows.
The firelight at both ends of the alley gradually approached, and Wei Zimo took a closer look, and it turned out to be two wooden carts piled up with burning haystacks, directly rushing towards the Red Dragon Gang killers.
The haystacks were piled high, and there were flames, and smoke billowed from them, and it was not known how many people followed them, because they could not be seen.
From time to time, a sharpened wooden stick flew from behind the haystack, and the Red Dragon Gang killer who couldn't dodge made a move, piercing the chest or thigh.
But the short crossbow had no use, and it was shot indiscriminately, all blocked by haystacks.
Suddenly, such a group of mysterious helpers came, Wei Zimo was like a tiger with wings, and he solved nine more killers in a flash.
The remaining dozen or so killers were either killed by flying sticks and stones, or burned to death by fire.
In the elegantly named Cuiliu Lane, there are more than 30 corpses lying horizontally, blood and dirt. Like a slaughterhouse, or like a barbecue restaurant, the smell of burnt barbecue fills the air from the alley to the snowflake dance with smoke billowing from the alley.
A vicious battle died down, and Wei Zimo hurriedly fed Hua Qianai with an antidote.
Then, through the smoke, it became clear that the mysterious helpers turned out to be a group of ragged beggars.
More than fifty people, their faces blackened by smoke, smirked at Wei Zimo.
"Eun Gong, are you alright?"
It was the two beggars, an old man and a young man, who were huddled at the door of Deng Kee's beef noodle restaurant in the morning.
The corners of Wei Zimo's mouth twitched, he was very embarrassed, although he was kind to these two beggars, but at his age, he was not at the level of "male".
So he smiled faintly and said, "I'm fine!" But this friend of mine was poisoned by the Red Dragon Gang......"
"Huh?"
The old beggar was taken aback: "We are still a step late, this son has been recruited, this is terrible." ”
Then he blinked his eyes and said: "It's strange, although this Red Dragon Gang has done a lot of evil, it will not easily use poisonous arrows, and today it actually made such a big move, this son is afraid that it will be more auspicious ......and less auspicious."
Wei Zimo was tired of the old beggar making a fuss, but still smiled faintly: "I have already taken the antidote, there is no big problem!" ”
"Why is it okay?!" The old beggar was in his fifties, and he was shocked when he spoke, which made Wei Zimo couldn't help but be frightened again: "It's not good, but it's going to die!" ”
Isn't this nonsense?!
The old beggar stepped forward to check Hua Qianai's wound, although it was only a shallow inch-long wound scraped by an arrow, but it did not hurt the muscles and bones. But the three inches of skin around the wound had turned black, and the blood that came out was also black.
As if in order to refute Wei Zimo's "no big deal", he proudly pointed to the wound and said, "Look at it, the snake venom has soaked into the blood!" I'll just say, today, the Red Dragon Gang sent so many killers this time, and they also used poisoned arrows, even if they want to snatch back the 100,000 taels of silver tickets, they can't use such a big pomp! Presumably they have other purposes......"
Wei Zimo was stunned for a moment, listening to the old beggar's meaning, these Red Dragon Gang disciples are coming for themselves?
But he said disapprerovingly: "This is the usual trick of the Red Dragon Gang, I heard when I entered the city, no one can get out of the game after winning the game and taking the prize." What's more, this son has won so much money......"
The old beggar still shook his head and said with a deep face: "It is estimated that things will not be so simple, the Red Dragon Gang has been used to assassination all these years, it is impossible to make such a big move, presumably there are bigger things than 100,000 silver tickets." Well, now is not the time to talk about this, we have to heal this son quickly! If it is delayed any longer, even if this son does not die, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save his arm. ”
Wei Zimo couldn't help but be surprised: a martial artist is missing an arm, what a cruel thing it is.
"But I've already given him an antidote?"
The old beggar looked at it and said eagerly: "Childe doesn't know, the poisonous arrows and arrows of the Red Dragon Gang are soaked in bamboo leaf green poison, and the poison spreads within half an hour, and his life is not guaranteed." That's right, in order to avoid accidental injury to their own people, they carried the antidote with them, but this antidote had to be taken before the poison had not soaked into the blood, and this son was delayed for some time just now, so the poison had been soaked into the blood, but fortunately it had not spread. If you don't force out the poison within a stick of incense, this hand really can't be saved! ”
As soon as the old beggar said this, Wei Zimo was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Then hurry up!" The Red Dragon Gang must have dispatched a lot of manpower to search the whole city, where are we going to heal him now? ”
"Come with me." The old beggar suddenly seemed very calm.
Wei Zimo couldn't figure out where these beggars came from, but at a critical time, he really lost the help of these beggars.
But in his heart, he said: To call Hanako is to spare his life! With more than 50 of you, do you dare to compete with the 300 disciples of the Red Dragon Gang in Qingzhou City?
Or, let them take away this Hua Qianai, who doesn't know the height of the sky, they are kind to the two beggars, they will definitely protect Hua Qianai.
So he said, "Old man, this son is my friend, so you can take him to heal......
The old beggar was stunned: "Engong, then where are you going to go?" ”
Wei Zimo smiled indifferently: "I still have important things to do, so I have to leave Qingzhou City quickly." By the way, old man, how to get to Yunwu Mountain? ”
The old beggar nodded and said, "Engong is the right person, Yunwu Mountain...... Hey? Since Engong is from the other side of the Fog Hidden Gate, why don't you know how to go to Yunwu Mountain, don't joke with the old name Hanako. ”
Wei Zimo didn't have the heart to laugh with the old beggar, he just wanted to hurry to Yunwu Mountain, whether it was to spend a lot of money to buy it, or to rob it openly, he had to bring a few seeds of entwined peonies back to Beijing.
"You just tell me how to get around, so much nonsense?"
Wei Zimo gave the old beggar eight hundred taels of silver, and he was qualified to talk to the old beggar like this. The old beggar also wrote down Wei Zimo's favor, so he didn't care about Wei Zimo's impoliteness, and grinned: "Yunwu Mountain, one hundred and fifty miles away from here, a radius of dozens of miles is deserted, it is said that it is the hermitage of the head of the Wuyin Sect, but it is only a rumor, if Engong wants to go, but it is estimated that it is a little difficult to get out of the city now, and now the three hundred disciples of the Red Dragon Gang are looking for Engong and this son, and when the old man asks Huazi to help this son force out the snake venom, we will send Engong to leave Qingzhou and rush to Yunwu Mountain!" ”
Wei Zimo frowned and pondered carefully, it seemed that he had no choice but to do so. To say that leaving Qingzhou City is not difficult for him, but he is still worried about Hua Qianai, and it is not too late to wait a while to leave.
With the help of an old beggar, it saves a lot of time than going around blindly. Besides, the big things are important, and there is no need for me to fight with the Red Dragon Gang in Qingzhou City.
The old beggar saw that Wei Zimo agreed, and hurriedly said hello, and the other beggars cleaned up the burned wheat grass on the two wooden carts, sorted out the wheat grass that was not burned, and then put Hua Qianai into the grass pile and hid it.
Wei Zimo was about to say something like thank you to the old beggar, but saw the old beggar raise his hand and point to another wooden cart and say, "Engong, I've wronged you for the time being!" ”
Wei Zimo wondered: "What?" Do you want me to run for my life in this haystack? ”
The old beggar shook his head and sighed: "Engong doesn't know, according to the old name Hanako, the reason why the Red Dragon Gang has moved such a big battle is actually for Engong." If the old name Hanako is not wrong, Engong may have formed some grudge with the Red Dragon Gang. Otherwise, over the years, even if the Red Dragon Gang kills people and sells goods, it is not so blatant, and it has made such a big move in the county town in broad daylight, and even used poisoned arrows! ”
Wei Zimo thought about it carefully, and the statement that he was always called Hanako seemed to make some sense!
Not to mention the fact that he picked the Tesuji of the Red Dragon Gang twice in a row, just because he smashed the arena this time and swept away ten thousand taels of silver, people would not let him go easily.
"Dare to ask the old man, the government will let the Red Dragon Gang be so arrogant?"
The old beggar originally wanted to sigh and count all the evil things of the Red Dragon Gang, but when he heard Wei Zimo ask, he said anxiously: "The government? Maybe the people in the government have dry shares in the gladiatorial arena...... Never mind! Looking back on these things, I have to get out of here quickly, with Engong's ability, there is naturally no problem with retreating, but if Engong doesn't want to make trouble in the city and go out of the city safely, I have to be wronged! ”
Wei Zimo looked at the dirty haystack with a bitter expression.
Thinking left and right, I still don't have to worry about it. Even if these beggars hid Hua Qianai in the haystack on the wooden cart, they may not be able to escape the investigation of the Red Dragon Gang.
If you encounter poisonous arrows or something, or many people besiege you, with these more than 50 broken sticks, not to mention sending flowers out of the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult for these beggars to protect themselves.
Let's go out of the city with them first, if the Red Dragon Gang still doesn't know what to do, just with his seventh-layer realm of one sword ghost sorrow swordsmanship, not to mention Qingzhou City and Qianzhou Province, even if you go to the Central Plains, it will be difficult to find an opponent.
So, looking at the unkempt haystack, he smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Alas! I didn't expect my Wei Zimo to have such a catastrophe! ”
The eldest husband can bend and stretch, Wei Zimo reluctantly burrowed into the grass, but the long sword did not enter the sheath.
……
The wheels creaked, Wei Zimo tensed his nerves, and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside.
I don't know what path the beggars took, but they were safe and sound all the way, and no one interrogated.
After the wheels of the car stopped making a sound, the haystack was lifted, and Wei Zimo turned over and got up, only to find that he was in a house. Looking around, this courtyard is carved with jade masonry, Zhumen eaves, and three major courtyards, not ordinary people, let alone a broken temple where beggars live.
