Chapter 9: Is it a senior brother, or a senior sister?
Xiao Ke and the others got out of the inn, and immediately rushed to their homes, all the way to the smoke and dust, rushed for dozens of miles, and soon arrived at Xiaojiazhuang.
When Xiao Ke returned home, his family immediately led Xiao Ke to a white wall in the backyard, only to see that it was written: "If you want to redeem people and prepare ten thousand taels of silver, send them to Wolf Mountain tonight," and a big ghost word was written in the middle of the white wall.
Xiao Ke was a little nervous when he saw this scene, and shouted loudly: "But do any brothers know where Wolf Mountain is?" At this time, a black-faced man with a huge Zen staff squeezed over from the crowd and said, "Xiao Daxia, I know that Wolf Mountain is next to Xiaoxiang Temple, which is not far from here. ”
Someone said suspiciously: "There is a mountain next to the small phase temple." The black man explained, "That wolf mountain is not a mountain, but a haunted mansion." Just a few years ago, I came here to wander around, borrowed to live in the small phase temple, and was confused by the temple and brought in once. ”
"The mansion is really big, the construction inside is chaotic and complicated, the garden is not small, at that time to the small phase temple to worship the Buddha, many people went to the garden to enjoy the fun. I heard the little novice in the temple say that this was built by a big official surnamed wolf in the previous dynasty, but unfortunately soon the big official surnamed wolf got sick and died, and there was haunted there, and many people died one after another, and finally it became a big murder house, and it became deserted, and no one dared to go again. ”
"But although I was tricked into it, I'm not afraid of ghosts. It's the building, which startled me, half next to each other, as if it had been squeezed together by someone's hands, very weird! If you want to save people on this trip, you have to be careful! ”
There was a man who wanted to laugh at him, but after all, he was still timid, but as soon as the words leaked, he glanced at Xiao Ke and hurriedly shut up.
Xiao Ke couldn't wait to fly to the wolf mountain immediately, there were so many of them, and the person who heard him say that he knew the place, his heart was happy, and then he was sad. The ransom asks for 10,000 taels of silver, where to raise this silver, there are thousands of taels of silver in my house, but it is not enough.
Xiao Ke hurriedly called the housekeeper to come over and get the silver ticket and go to the town to open the silver at the Deqian Village. After the housekeeper left, Xiao Ke gathered the big guys together and said, "Brothers, I am going to Wolf Mountain to redeem people, it is not easy for too many people to go, I am afraid that the five wounded ghosts will be angry and kill my son." ”
As soon as Xiao Ke's words landed, a group of people waited for you to say one by one: "Xiao Daxia, I'll go." ”
"Xiao Daxia, I am willing to go."
"Xiao Daxia, my little brother is willing to go."
Seeing this, Xiao Ke waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Xiao thank you for your kindness, Brother Mei, come along." The person known as Brother Mei looked like a calm and steady person, but I saw him hug his fist at Xiao Ke and express his willingness to go.
Xiao Ke shouted the names of seven or eight people in a row with a serious face, and finally looked at Yuxu and Lian Yuncheng hesitantly, thinking about something on his face. When Lian Yuncheng saw this scene, he immediately said, "Xiao Daxia dares to send, and the little brother is willing to go." Xiao Ke was overjoyed, and rushed to Yuncheng with a fist and said, "With the young man of Yuncheng going, I have added a little strength." ”
Wei Yuxu never said a word, and Xiao Ke saw this scene, and it was not troublesome, so he called the names of the two people again.
Seeing that it was getting late, the housekeeper had already brought back the cash from the town, and Yun Cheng and the others had changed into the clothes of the little guy. Everyone was ready to go, their faces were serious, and they didn't know if they could rescue Xiao Dacheng if they could go here, the five injured ghosts in Xiangxi were notorious, and this trip was also very dangerous.
However, the pride is still there, and the blood is still there. Xiao Ke and his brothers, drank a bowl of spirits, pressed three silver carts, and set off.
The rest of the people, waiting for news in Xiaojiazhuang, the cook in the kitchen has caught two big fat pigs, washed them, and prepared for the young master to come back to celebrate later. Na Yuxu didn't know what to think, standing alone in the courtyard and wandering, looking at the red letters on the white wall from time to time.
The breeze hit, and soon in the afternoon, the sky didn't seem to be so hot, Yuxu stood in the courtyard for a while, quickly walked out of Xiaojiazhuang, and untied a horse and left.
The ransom delivery team here, under the leadership of the black man, was walking on a potholed path, slowly walking, but Xiao Ke was in a hurry, he walked back and forth from time to time to look, and finally, everyone crossed this potholed path and came to the official road.
It was getting darker and darker, and when they saw that it was about to get dark, they stopped, rested for a while, lit torches, and went on. A group of dozens of people walked on the official road, like a fire moving slowly. A man in black in the jungle not far away secretly watched all this, and after a while, disappeared without a trace.
"Brother Xiao, something is wrong," Brother Mei said as he walked up to Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke calmly looked around, as if he had also found something, and was about to say something, when the shouting of killing suddenly started. Suddenly, the fire on this dark official road was full of fire, countless torches condensed together, and dozens of people surrounded Xiao Ke, who turned out to be a group of robbers who wanted to rob the silver car.
Xiao Ke has had countless anger in the past two days and has nowhere to vent, and he deserves that this group of robbers stepped on the wrong point and fell into his hands. I saw his eyes spitting fire and looking around, and from time to time his hand rose and fell, and the blade in his hand was already dyed blood.
Xiao Ke had a good time killing here, but the rest of the people didn't have the intention of killing, and they were all injured. Seeing that Lian Yuncheng was more soft-handed, he didn't want to hurt them, and all the robbers who came to his side either lightly touched the acupuncture points or lightly knocked them out. In a short time, the group of robbers who wanted to rob the silver cart were dead or wounded, and they were lying all over the ground.
There was only that one person, riding a tall horse, using a tiger-headed long-handled broadsword, he stared blankly at the brothers falling to the ground one after another, his heart was beating faster and faster, but he was not afraid at all, and his eyes were full of anger at this group of people.
Suddenly, the man rushed over with a big knife, as if he was about to slash Xiao Ke with a knife, but Xiao Ke didn't care, dodged lightly, and then kicked him off the horse with a kick, and stepped forward to cut his head with a knife.
"Wait," but Lian Yuncheng shouted, remembering that he was young, and persuaded Xiao Ke to spare his life. Xiao Ke slowly woke up from the bloody slaughter and let the man go.
Lian Yuncheng hurriedly checked everyone and found that except for the black man, who had some flesh wounds, the rest were fine. Lian Yuncheng gave the black man a little gold sore medicine, and the bleeding stopped in an instant, and everyone rearranged it and went on the road again.
The black man thanked Lian Yuncheng in private, and then told the big guy that Wolf Mountain was not far away. Everyone looked forward, there seemed to be some slight light in front of them, and the black man said that it was Xiaoxiang Temple, and the distance was getting closer and closer, and everyone's hearts were nervous.
Yuxu rode a horse from Xiao Ke's house, and soon returned to the inn, and as soon as he entered, he realized that something was wrong, the inn was empty. The shopkeeper, Xiao Er, and the gang of the Big Bamboo Gang are not there. Yuxu suddenly panicked in his heart, and hurriedly rushed to the second floor, the third child was not there, Ling Wenju was not there, and his senior sister Yuqing was not there, the second floor was empty, what happened?
Yuxu eagerly searched the inn, hoping to find some clues. Suddenly, a voice sounded in the distance, the voice was very weak, and Yuxu thought it was coming from the direction of the kitchen, so he quickly ran over.
When I got to the kitchen door, the sound was louder, and when I opened the door, I saw that the kitchen was full of people. Except for Ling Wenju who was tied up, they all fainted and fell to the ground, Ling Wenju saw Yuxu coming, and said loudly: "Yuxu, hurry, the rope wounded ghost just now came, the medicine overturned everyone, and captured your senior brother, (or your senior sister?) He's just walked half a pillar of incense, you can chase it, you can catch up. ”
Listening to all this, Yuxu calmly asked Ling Wenju that the rope wounded ghost went in that direction. Ling Wenju said: "It seems to be some kind of wolf mountain, he still said that he didn't have time to collect money or something, otherwise we would all be killed by him." ”
"By the way, it's that place, I listened to him twice in a daze, you go quickly, I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious if I go late." Yuxu didn't dare to delay for a moment, got out of the inn, rode a fast horse, and galloped towards the direction of Wolf Mountain.
