Chapter 6: Laughter and Grudge
The water flow of the White River is still turbulent under the South Bridge, in the afterglow of the setting sun, it seems sparkling, from time to time you can also see a few water birds spreading their wings in the water birds, and then swooping down towards the water surface, the reeds that turn yellow in winter on both sides of the river bank are also swaying slightly with the wind, everything is so beautiful and so harmonious.
"How did you know about Lian Yunfeng? How did you know my brother was there? You told the government? Hu Wenlie's voice seemed very uneasy, and he even trembled a little, and his chest rose and fell violently. Suddenly, he seemed to understand, his eyes suddenly widened, his eyes became sharp, full of anger that could not be concealed, he turned his head and yelled at Xiao Wuzi: "Xiao Wuzi, you fucking betrayed me? I've always treated you as a brother, and you fucking betrayed me? Xiao Wuzi's eyes turned red all of a sudden, "Brother Lie is not me, I didn't say anything!" Xiao Wuzi's voice had turned into a crying voice, and Niu Zhuang on the other side gradually became puzzled from his unconvinced face at the beginning. Hu Wenlie recalled that Xiao Wuzi had a series of abnormal reactions today, usually when encountering this kind of thing, Xiao Wuzi rushed to the front and shouted the fiercest, today is indeed abnormal, as if he was avoiding something, and then let the other companions roar crazy when they went back, it is not the Xiao Wuzi he knows, he must be a thief.
Ning Yinhu sat there and looked at Hu Wenlie quietly and didn't say anything, just when Hu Wenlie was about to speak, Ning Yinhu preemptively said: "Then you think wrong, Xiao Wuzi is a hard leg, we asked for a long time and he didn't say it, he is also very righteous to you, you have him as a good brother is your blessing." Hearing this, Hu Wenlie suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Wuzi, who was already crying, his eyes were full of apologies. Then how did you know that my brother was in Lianyun Peak, except for Xiao Wuzi and Niu Zhuang, no one else would know, how did you know? Hu Wenlie asked eagerly. It's so simple, I inquired about your brother's activities in the area of Yandang Mountain, and it just so happened that we knew a pharmacist who had been to Yandang Mountain to collect medicine. We asked him about the situation of several peaks in Yandang Mountain, only Lianyun Peak is the most suitable for stationing, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are contiguous deep mountains behind it, as long as you drill into the mountain, no one can do anything, I concluded that Hu Wenfeng will definitely be there, but you can rest assured, I didn't tell the government. Ning Yinhu calmly explained to him.
Hu Wenlie fell into deep thought, he didn't understand what Ning Yinhu did, he could report to the government while he didn't know, so that his brother might be over, he was finished, he didn't understand, he really couldn't understand, obviously he had already won the battle, if he was replaced, he wouldn't let go of the opponent so easily, also after these two dealings, he also knew that the seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers in front of him were quite kind of people, and they might only be afraid of their own brother, But he still opened his mouth without regard for face: "Then why did you do this?" So you can get our brother done, why would you do that? ”
"We don't have an unsolvable feud, and we don't have to be to the point of seeing the sword, not to mention that I like Xiao Wuzi as a friend, I really want to do this, that's what really will force you to push him to a dead end, I don't want to do this, I won't hurt him!" After Ning Yinhu finished speaking, he turned his head to meet Xiao Wuzi's incredulous gaze, looked at each other for a moment, tapped his chin slightly, and then turned his head to Hu Wenlie and said, "Do you think this reason is okay?" You and this brother called Niu Zhuang are also good, if it weren't for the conflict between us, hehe, maybe we could still be friends. After a pause, he continued: "I know that we did something wrong in advance, but everyone also eats according to their own abilities, I believe that you can't be fair in everything, I only know that I can't help but take action when I see my brother being beaten, whether we ignore it or not, what do you say?" Speaking of this, Meng Yi's eyes changed slightly, but he immediately regained his composure, and he knew that what Ning Yinhu said was the truth.
Hu Wenlie felt incredulous, he didn't believe that this group of people would let him go so easily, "Then how can this be counted?" Hu Wenlie stretched out his index finger and pointed to the crossbow bolt stuck in his right leg and asked. Ning Yinhu looked at him with a defensive look, and he didn't hide it, he laughed directly, and tapped a few times at Hu Wenlie with his finger, Hu Wenlie suddenly felt insulted, and just when he was about to have a seizure, Ning Yinhu preemptively said: "If we want to fight you to the death, with my brother's skills, when you don't react, he can shoot a crossbow arrow into your throat, do you believe it or not?" ”
Hu Wenlie waited for a moment and saw that Ning Yinhu didn't continue to speak, he nodded lightly, the young man Ning Yinhu said He knew that although his face was as delicate as a knife and an axe, his eyes were cold, and he showed a ruthlessness at all times, with the weak knife-cut lips, it made people feel a chill when he looked at it, he had already suffered his losses twice, and the last time he smashed the flat pole straight at himself, this time it was he who raised his hand and shot an arrow into his thigh.
Ning Yinhu saw him nodding, indicating that he could still listen to what he said, and Ning Yinhu said again: "Don't be angry, just wait." With that, he took out a bunch of white cloth strips from his waist, and took out a small copper bottle stuffed with a red cloth from his cuff, which must be gold sore medicine. Ning Yinhu didn't say much, and said to Meng Yi: "Brother Yi come over and help!" Meng Yi pinned the machete into his waist, and quickly squatted to Hu Wenlie's side, at this time, Song Tan and the others slowly put down the guy in their hands, and gave up subduing Niu Zhuang, "It may be a little painful, you bear with it a little, Brother Yi help me hold down his right leg!" Ning Yinhu said. After that, he covered the wound with one hand and grabbed the crossbow arrow with the other, Meng Yi also held down Hu Wenlie's right leg very cooperatively, rubbed the ground and pulled out the crossbow arrow, the wound began to gurgle again, Hu Wenlie screamed in pain all of a sudden, his right leg hurt so much that he wanted to move, but was firmly held down by Meng Yi, at this time Ning Yinhu also quickly opened the gold sore medicine, sprinkled it on the arrow wound, and after the yellow powder covered the wound, he immediately straightened the cloth strip and bandaged the wound one by one.
After everything was done, Ning Yinhu slowly picked up the bloody crossbow arrow, this crossbow arrow was relatively rough, and there was no tail feathers, and he looked down along the straight and slender arrow, and suddenly Hu Wenlie found that something was wrong, this crossbow arrow actually had no arrow cluster, they actually shot me with an arrow without an arrow cluster, he figured it out, it turned out that at the beginning, they didn't want to make a big fuss, and then Ning Yinhu spoke: "The crossbow arrows we usually use when hunting don't mention the tail feathers, and the arrow clusters are at least barbs. The arrow will not be so thin, you see the tip of this arrow, it is not sharp at all, and the depth of the shot into your thigh is only less than two inches, Song Tan also deliberately loosened the bowstring, otherwise it would be at least a pair of piercings, and we don't want to hurt you, but if we don't convince you, we don't even have a chance to talk, and I ask you if you accept this set-up? ”
"Why don't I accept it, you have made it like this, and my brother has also been dug up by you, why am I not convinced!" Hu Wenlie raised his head and said loudly without thinking. "Okay, since you are served, it proves that we still have a chance to be friends, we shot you an arrow today, then I will return it to you now!" After that, he grabbed the arrow with his right hand and was about to insert it into his thigh, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, just when the arrow was about to be inserted into his thigh, Hu Wenlie grabbed Ning Yinhu's right hand tightly, and Meng Yi also grabbed the tail of the arrow, and said anxiously: "If you want to pay it back, I will pay it back!" Just about to say something more, Hu Wenlie said loudly: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, I can be regarded as soft today, I'm not a stingy person, if you can afford it, don't do this, today we are friends, we are Tieju!" After speaking, he stretched out his hands to Ning Yinhu and greeted Meng Yi and Ning Yinhu respectively, Ning Yinhu Meng Yi did not hesitate, and held Hu Wenlie's outstretched hand, "Okay, from today onwards, we will be friends and Tieju, I owe you the injury you suffered this time, and I will definitely pay it back to you in the future!" ”
The sun was slowly setting, the afterglow was fading, and the white river was still flowing turbulently, taking away the past grudges and bringing them new friendships.
At night in the Mo family tavern, Ning Yinhu and they used the money they got in exchange for hunting to prepare two tables of wine and food to eat and drink together, the wine is still the old rice wine brewed by the Taozhen people, and the dishes are still some country dishes, but there are six more friends and brothers who eat and drink together, Hu Wenlie and the three of them, and the three teenagers who came to help today, although the young people are always full of blood, but they are not people who hold grudges, a meal of wine is down, everyone is also quite familiar, Niu Zhuang and Jiang Ying are the two people who come and go the most frequently during the banquet, I knew that today was the most fierce fight between the two of them, Meng Yi and Hu Wenlie also chatted very happily, these two had a conflict because of the gambling stall killing pigs, and the two of them chatted only to know that Hu Wenlie often set up gambling stalls in Niutou Township to kill other people's pigs, who would have thought that he was also killed by others as pigs, so they fought. Ning Yinhu also took the initiative to drink and chat with Niu Zhuang and the three teenagers who just came to the dart bureau today, when they first came, the three teenagers were still not good at words, and they became good friends who talked about everything after drinking, Niu Zhuang also sincerely admired Ning Yinhu, he admired this brave and resourceful teenager, Xiao Wuzi and Chen Lin's personalities were more similar, and the two of them began to fight for wine after a while, when the banquet was about to end, the black and thin lynx walked in front of Song Tan with a bowl of wine, and saluted him with wine, "Brother Tan, Your skills are really high, you can dart quickly and accurately, you can dart in the dart game, come, I respect you! Song Tan also picked up the wine bowl and drank it all. Meng Yi also agreed with Hu Wenlie that in the future, the two of them would save some money together, and in the future, they would open a gambling house in Tao Town and make money together.
When leaving, Ning Yinhu lent Hu Wenlie the two fast horses that Jia Xin looked for yesterday, so that Hu Wenlie and them could return to Niutou Township, Niu Zhuang supported Hu Wenlie and walked outside the door, Ning Yinhu also wanted to go out with him, Xiao Wuzi grabbed Ning Yinhu's hand behind him: "Brother Tiger, it's me, hehe, thank you, I know that I was not angry last night, and I was tempted by you, thank you for not telling it!" Ning Yinhu raised his right hand and patted Xiao Wuzi on the shoulder: "Remember to come to me often to play in the future, I will teach you to read and write, and take you to eat delicious food!" I see you as my own brother, and I am sure of it! Xiao Wuzi's eyes were full of irrepressible joy, and his voice was a little soft: "Thank you, Brother Hu, few people have looked up to me since I was a child, and I won't do those dirty things like stealing chickens and dogs in the future!" ”
Niu Zhuang helped Hu Wenlie to ride a tall horse together, and Xiao Wuzi also rode another horse, and after a few words of greeting with his brothers, Ning Yinhu said: "Wenlie, after you go back, the wound will heal after a few days of recuperation, and you will come to play with us when the time comes!" "Well, it's not in the way, I'll come to you for a drink when I'm free in a few days, and you guys should hurry up and go home to rest and sleep, it's not too late!"
After greeting each other with interest, Niu Zhuang and they were about to return to Niutou Township on horseback, Hu Wenlie suddenly turned around and said loudly: "Brother Yi, Brother Hu, when I have the opportunity, I will take you to Yandang Mountain to have fun, and let you see what a big scene is, haha, brothers, then I will go back first!" The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the bluestone pavement, and Hu Wenlie's little Wuzi and their figures also disappeared into the black shadows.
