Chapter 5: The Way Home
The Baipan Mountains are crossed by the side ridges, the walls are winding, but there are no dangerous peaks towering, compared with other famous mountains and rivers, some are mediocre and nameless.
And the people around Lushou City have mixed love and hatred for this mountain. Because the mountain is prolific with the medicinal herb sandalwood, wild pheasants and beehives are innumerable, it can be regarded as a rich product. But I don't know when it started, there was a nest of mountain bandits, robbing homes and houses, doing evil without a plan, and the mountain people and even the people in the city suffered a lot. Although the local government tried its best to clear the money, they all returned in vain, and they could not even find the place where they were entrenched, and finally reluctantly advised the people to move away from the mountains and move south to find a living. And these mountain bandits did not dare to raise the village to attack the city, and finally ended up in a situation of "both sides are safe".
Somewhere in the dense forest of Baipan Mountain, the wooden wall is ringed, the gate is towering, the gate is suspended by the slings of the gate bridge, and some wooden houses are built unevenly below. In a stilted building in the center, two people are drinking and talking.
"Brother Chongshan, it's not my brother's confession, the postman, the scholar, the heavy body, the serious illness, and this group of eagle claw grandsons (official government), we are all managed by rules. Although we are dividing the rudder, we don't dare to break the rules in private. If that bud is really involved with Eagle Claw Sun, my brother can't help you. A strong man with broad shoulders and broad shoulders and a fleshy face said in a muffled voice.
The man on the opposite side is Du Chongshan, the brother-in-law of the shopkeeper of Junxing Pawnshop: "What can it have to do with the government, my brother-in-law just has a surname with Lushoucheng, and the businessman is just a peddler, and he can't be ranked in Lushoucheng." The child's family is even more flat-headed people, I heard that their ancestors also did some grave digging and grave digging business, if Brother Wang robbed this child, it would be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven. ”
The mountain bandit surnamed Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, I fucking thought that Lushou City was opened by your family, but it turned out to be a hen hatching snake eggs - there is an egg relationship." Seeing that you took care of my brother in prison, this trip was wrapped up on me, although it was said that you had taken some risks, it was not that you had not done it, you said that you wanted to live or die. Don't lie to me about one thing, that kid really has a priceless jade pendant? ”
When Du Chongshan saw that he responded, he filled a bowl of wine: "As long as he doesn't have any connection with Lushou City, you can watch it live or die." The jade pendant on his body was bought by my brother-in-law for three hundred taels, and I saw him wearing it with my own eyes, and it was absolutely true. It's just that when you resell, don't go to the surrounding cities, and the news is between the pawnshops, in case you check it, it will be difficult to do. ”
After hearing this, the mountain bandit surnamed Wang took a sip of disdain: "What's the use of finding out, how many years have we been on this line, and we're afraid of a trader?" I'll just tell you this, even if the army is overwhelmed, the one who is at the helm of us can fight him back. ”
Du Chongshan was a little surprised: "I have heard of the prestige of the Shen gang leader of your gang, but if you want to say that you want to resist the government, I am afraid it will be ......."
"Hey, you kid has even heard the name of our helper, so it can be seen that my brother has told you a lot. Do you want to join our Longshan Gang, we welcome a bad boy like you. The mountain bandit surnamed Wang changed his words and suddenly invited him to join the gang. Du Chongshan was unprepared and hurriedly refused to thank him.
The mountain bandit surnamed Wang snorted, and he didn't bother to pull him into the gang again: "Our Shen gang leader is invincible, but he won't compete with Eagle Claw Sun, why don't you still set those rules for us." It's just that about five or six years ago, the chief helm suddenly attracted another ...... "Saying that, he actually sold the lawsuit, stopped talking, and pouted and motioned him to pour wine quickly.
Du Chongshan didn't dare to slack off, he lifted the wine jug and poured a bowl, and the mountain bandit surnamed Wang drank it all in a big gulp: "Okay, it's a little bit of an eye, but this matter involves a secret in my gang, and I can't tell you about this outsider." ”
Du Chongshan smiled again and filled a bowl: "Brother, look at you, hook out the old brother's heartworm, why did you still hug it." You should show mercy and tell your brother what kind of master is there to make the Longshan Gang have such strength. ”
The mountain bandit surnamed Wang looked at Du Chongshan's expression, grinned, and lowered his voice: "It's not a human, it's an immortal master." ”
……
As the saying goes: it is easy to avoid unforeseen wind and rain, and it is difficult to hide the disaster without vain.
Two days later, the sky was sunny and the white clouds were lightly rolling. On a small road in the southeast of Lushou City, a coachman came with a carriage similar to Chang Jingzhu's car, and Yun Qian was sitting in the car.
Because it is located in the middle of nowhere, it is far away from the place where he stayed at night, so Yun Qian was eating some dry food for lunch, and suddenly heard a loud shout outside the car: "Stop, rob." The voice came suddenly, Yun Qian's heart trembled, and before he could react, he heard the shouts and whips of the coachman hurrying to drive the horse. The carriage immediately ran wildly, and Yun Qian in the carriage couldn't sit still, and slammed into the back wall of the carport.
Outside the car, there was another loud shout: "Dare to run, look for death." Before the words fell, Yun Qian saw the figure of the groom outside the curtain in a hurry, as if he was about to dodge to the opposite side of the carriage, but then he screamed, and a splash of blood sprayed directly on the curtain. The calamity suddenly appeared, and it was already bloody, how could Yun Qian, a nine-year-old child, ever experience such a situation. Frightened, he cowered in a corner, tremblingly looked at a bloody hand exposed in the car, and wanted to open his mouth to call, but he lost his voice.
Suddenly, the body sank, and a rough voice shouted slogans, ready to stop the car. Through the curtain, Yun Qian saw someone outside the car glancing into the car, and then laughed viciously, almost like a hungry beast.
The successive nightmares actually made Yun Qian half of his senses, and he began to look left and right in fear, and when Fang swept the car window, he directly hit it. The window of the car is not big, but Yun Qian is already thin and small, and he is inexplicably ruthless, but he really pierces it out. Falling on the yellow earth, Yun Qian got up and ran into the woods.
The strong man who was parking heard the sound in the car, and when he turned his head sideways, he saw Yun Qian who had escaped, and greeted: "Don't let him run, I'll stop." ”
Yun Qian didn't care about any containment at this time, he just rushed towards the woods. But before he could run a few feet, the back of his neck was suddenly grabbed by a big hand like iron pincers, pressed him, and slammed him on the ground. Immediately after another punch on the temple, Yun Qian only felt that his eyes were dim, and he fainted in an instant. Before he lost his consciousness, all Yun Qian's eyes saw was a distant carriage and the horseman's legs that were jolting with the car.
……
The ancient road was lonely, the forest was heavy, just after the robbers had fled for half an hour, a young man walked leisurely on the road, he had a rain hat on his head, wearing a dark green linen robe, a tight belt, and a sword at his waist, and it was very strange that he was carrying a heavy object behind him, seven feet long, wrapped in a yellow cloth, and he could not see what it was.
Suddenly, a pool of red and eye-piercing blood on the ground alarmed the man's attention, and he couldn't help but be suspicious when he saw that the blood line was intermittently a hundred zhang away. The man looked left and right, and there was only the Changlin Ancient Road, looking for bloodstains, and at the end, there were two ruts that turned diagonally into the woods on the right. The man's sword eyebrows raised angrily, he snorted coldly, and walked in with a step.
……
Yun Qian's mind was dizzy at this time, his hands were numb, and his body seemed to be carried by a living thing, and he kept shaking up and down. In a trance, I dimly heard someone chatting not far away: "Boss Wang, I really think that this bud can't do chores, and he fainted before he used his strength, and he has fallen asleep until now." It's really not good, let's make another vote and catch a waist board. If this is neglected, the immortal master can be rectified. ”
Yun Qian woke up suddenly, hurriedly looked around, and found himself lying on a horse, his hands were tied, and his body was tied to the horse's back. In front of him were two strong men on horseback, and the man who spoke was holding the reins of his horse.
Fortunately, the two did not notice the movement behind them and were still chatting. Yun Qian hurriedly lowered his head and pretended not to wake up.
The strong man who was called the boss scolded: "You little scoop knows a fart, how can there be sheep on our line, I just pulled you out this time." If you do it again, if you touch an eagle talon grandson, you will have to be in trouble to kill. You don't have to worry about Lao Tzu's affairs. Boy? You can believe it all over the mountain. The Shen gang leader instructed the rudder to find the child, more than a dozen of them have been sent outside here, and there is not a shadow until now, I only recently heard from the brother of the chief helm that it is likely to be eaten raw by him, and it is even ...... evil sect" Later, the mountain bandit surnamed Wang deliberately lowered his voice.
The man holding the rope gasped: "No, that one is an immortal." The mountain bandit surnamed Wang squinted: "The thief's heart is not small, if you really want to get closer to him, when you arrive at the helm at night, just stay, if you can get that person's blue eyes, hum...... I, the big brother, wish you to become an immortal as soon as possible. After speaking, he rubbed the bridge of his nose with a gesture.
Hearing this, the man holding the rope couldn't hear his intimidation, and waved his hand worriedly: "Boss Wang, how can I have that mind, I can follow you, it is my last life to accumulate virtue, last life to worship Buddha, last life to ...... last life"
The strong man who was called the eldest brother grinned and asked, "What happened to the last life?" ”
The man holding the rope said embarrassedly: "I forgot about it in that life, hehe." ”
"Fuck off." The brawny man scolded.
Yun Qian listened to the conversation between the two robbers in his ears, and he was frightened, and tried to break free of the hemp rope on his body with his arms, but in vain. I wanted to beg them to let him go, but seeing the lessons of the groom's past, it was mostly to no avail. Don't dare to open your mouth and scold, otherwise you will be beaten to death if you are not eaten by the so-called immortal master. Pretend to be unconscious for the time being, and at the same time carefully note down the environment of the path, so that you have one more chance of escaping.
The road in the mountains and forests of Baipan was tortuous, and after suffering for half an hour, Yun Qian's eyes were a little congested, and his hands were even more numb, and he secretly thought in his heart: This is not good, the road is too winding to remember, once they arrive at the robber cottage, so many people can't run, they can only be sent to the immortal master to stutter, rather than suffer alive, it is better to fight.
Thinking of this, Yun Qian peeked at the two mountain bandits in front of him, and found that they were only concerned about idle and did not pay attention to themselves. Slowly moved his hands to his mouth and began to tear the hemp rope with his teeth.
