Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Horse Bandits' Den
Su Xiu looked up at Tiandao: "Look at this sky, our door has been traveling for six hours from Mao Shi to Shen Shi,
This locust tree ditch is also counted as my Fengqi County? ”
The county town hurriedly nodded and responded: "This is natural, you have been in Fengqi County for a short time, and this locust tree ditch is the genus of our Fengqi County."
It's just that the road is winding and rugged, and it is very difficult to find, so it has not appeared in our plate drawings. ”
I nodded in response.
After walking for about half an hour, when we were close to unitary time, we came to a simple village.
The bookstore in front of me can't even be called a village, it's just a stockade.
It's not that Su Xiu hasn't been to the village before, and the villages he has been to will have a way into the village no matter what
of the road.
No matter how dilapidated, there will be at least a dozen families with a dozen houses.
This is not the case in front of you, and the one in front of you doesn't want to be a village, but is more like a stockade.
"Are you sure this is Huaishugou Village?"
County Cheng, wiped the sweat from his forehead, along the way, he was also tossed enough, and his body was hollowed out by wine.
After walking for so long, it is natural that you will not be able to bear it.
"Yes, Lord County Commander, because this locust tree ditch is in the poor mountains, there are always mountain bandits harassing it, so I have to build one
A stockade to resist the bandits. ”
Su Xiu listened to this far-fetched explanation, although he didn't say anything, he always felt a little weird.
I saw that the county town went to shout and call the door.
The county Cheng just stood in front of the door and shouted loudly at the walled door: "Hey, hey, hey." ”
At this time, a bald guy with a black belt on his head and a steel gun on the upper floor of the gate also shouted four times: "Hey, hey, hey." ”
"The mountain passage road is on the top, and the sea is wide and the ship is commutable!"
"Mahamaha."
"Tilt your face down, tiger head wrist!"
The bald man gave a gesture, and his heavy men opened the gate.
The county turned his head and waved his hand to Su Xiu to signal that he could enter, and then he strode into the stockade.
Su Xiu didn't think much about it, so he followed.
As soon as the group entered the village, the villagers closed the gate of the village.
Su Xiu looked at the surrounding villagers.
On the faces of each one, there is no simplicity and simplicity that should belong to the villagers, but there are all fierce gods.
Su Xiu approached the county and asked, "What did you just shout at the people above the village?" ”
.
Xian Cheng smiled and said, "Hey, it's just a hello, hehe, you don't need to worry about it." ”
The letter was suspicious and followed behind the county.
The surrounding villagers also gradually surrounded them with unkind faces.
At this time, a young man trotted over, looked at the county and said, "Second uncle, why did you come?" ”
The county man hurriedly laughed and said: "Eh, the distance is too far, the road is rugged and winding, and it has been delayed a little, where is my cousin?" ”
The young man pointed to a room to the east.
The county man hurriedly said to Su Xiu and said, "My lord, my cousin's body is in the room on the east side, on my side."
Lead you. ”
With that, he walked towards the east house.
At this time, Su Xiu suddenly grabbed the wrist of the county and said, "Wait, this young man is your cousin's son?"
"Uh...... Be... yes, what's wrong. ”
"You said that the cremation of the deceased in this Huaishugou is forgotten, why, the descendants don't wear linen and filial piety?"
"This ...... Well, this is also the custom of our locust tree ditch. ”
"Oh? But your cousin's family has just died, and he is still a strong man, how can he be so quiet, it stands to reason that this village is inside
In such a few houses, there should be a cry, aren't they sad? ”
"Uh...... Perhaps, when I first found out, my tears dried up, and my throat was bitter. The county gentleman wiped his forehead
The cold sweat while back.
"What about your nephew's mother? You're here as a cousin, why is it a little kid who comes to greet you? ”
At this time, the young man who had been standing aside helped Yuandao: "Mother, because of excessive grief, is resting in the inner room. ”
Su Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Oh? In that case, let's visit your mother's number first, after all, a dead person can be at any time
to see. ”
After that, he was going to take the county Cheng to the internal affairs.
At this time, Xian Cheng saw that he couldn't break free from Su Xiu's hands, and he was about to be pulled into the inner room, and suddenly shouted, "This."
When you don't do it, when you wait! ”
As soon as the words fell, the man on the side pulled out a knife from his back waist and slashed at the hand that Su Xiu was holding on to the county.
Su Xiu let go, put his hands together, clamped an oncoming knife, twisted his hands, raised his left foot, and hit the neck of the young man.
The young man fell to the ground, clasped his hands around his neck, spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and died upright.
Su Xiu held the hilt of the knife in his hand, set up his defensive driving, and looked around.
The surrounding villagers were no longer disguised, and they all showed their weapons, and their faces were arrogant to defend Su Xiu and several officials
Come.
In fact, from the moment he entered the village, Su Xiu understood that he and the others had entered the den of thieves.
I wanted to retreat, but I didn't expect these people to quickly close the gate of the wall, and I had to plan to hold the county hostage in exchange for self
A few of them left safely, but this county Cheng turned out to be the first to strike, causing him to lose the first move.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from inside the room.
"Long time no see, my Lord Su!"
Su Xiu looked at the people who were slowly walking towards him with a gloomy face.
"Ceiling beam?"
The person who came was the beam of the sky.
A few months ago, he and his good brother Li Shengshan teamed up with the Xuanwu army led by him to defeat a group of horse bandits.
Unexpectedly, their remnants actually recuperated here.
"Hmph, it's me, why didn't I think of it!"
Standing on a second chair next to the top beam, he said gloomily: "Big brother, what nonsense to talk to him!" The third child is this
Guy killed! Let's kill this guy and help avenge the third brother! ”
"Ding Tianliang, this place is full of your people, and I won't run, I just want to know how you contacted Daoxian Cheng now,
How did you convince him to help you? ”
A man with a goatee sneered, "Hehe, how do you know that he is the one who contacted us, and he is not."
What about the people he contacted? ”
Su Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked at the county man standing aside in confusion: "It's you?" ”
Xian Cheng sneered: "Hehe, it's me, you didn't expect it, it was I who took the initiative to contact Ying Liang, who volunteered to lead you."
Guide here. ”
Su Xiu asked expressionlessly, "Why?" ”
"Why? Do you still have the face to ask why? Since you came to Fengqi County, I have been living a day by day, of course
It's to kill you to get rid of the trouble! ”
"So you contacted the horse bandits and killed your own county commander? I don't think you're doing this like this for the first time. ”
The county gentleman's face rose upward: "Hehe, the guess is good, it doesn't hurt to tell you, the previous county commanders are all so dead, who will let you."
They're against me! ”
