Chapter 20, the snow-covered bodyguard
It's freezing and it's the middle of winter.
A team of ten horses shuttled through the snow, and the only two carriages creaked.
As far as the eye could see, it was white, and even the sky didn't know if it was because it was too cold or because of a few snowflakes floating around. It is also full of hazy white.
Between heaven and earth is white except white. Monotonous and lonely.
The cold weather made the horses pulling the carriages wrapped in thick leather, tightly wrapped from head to toe. Only a large flag was exposed, with blue characters written on it, fluttering gently with the cold wind.....
The back of the carriage was loaded with unknown what, covered by thick fur, and the three men sat in two carriages to steer the direction of the driver.
The person sitting in the carriage was wearing a thick leather coat, and it was Zhang Hanwen, who had made a name for himself around Tianyu County. I don't know why he didn't take the opportunity to start a sect.
It stands to reason that among the most important things in the life of a person who practices martial arts, the founding of the sect can definitely be put in front. A person has worked hard for decades, who doesn't want to be full of disciples and grandchildren, and peach and plum all over the world. Wait until a hundred years later, and someone will help sing the praises of his heroic deeds?
But Zhang Hanwen suddenly disappeared at the most glorious time, and when he appeared in everyone's field of vision, he had already become the deputy leader of the Blue and White Gang who had just passed away.
Zhang Hanwen drove the carriage with a whip, and beside him sat a round-faced girl with a cold face, who was the daughter of the old gang leader and now the gang leader of the Qinghua Gang.
She wore a brown mink coat, a mink hat covering her ears in her coiled hair, and a long sword with fur at her waist. I don't know if it's because the wind and snow are too big or the air is too cold, Guan Yu squinted his eyes and looked ahead.
"Everyone work hard, and there will be extra reward money after this trip, so that everyone can go home for the New Year. Guan Yu shouted loudly, his voice clear.
"Okay!" The black-faced young man beside him, who was holding his sleeves and neck, took out a wine gourd from his cuff and took a small sip, revealing a look of satisfaction.
Behind the carriage, a handsome young man in a white coat sat cross-legged.
The young man took out a wood-green wine gourd from his arms and handed it to the person next to him, "Go and send it to Guan Yu, don't freeze her if it's cold." ”
The man on the side took the wine gourd and trotted all the way forward to Guan Yu and handed the wine gourd, "Helper, this is Liu Gongzi asked me to give it to you, she said that the weather is cold, don't freeze it, Miss." ”
Guan Yu took the gourd in his hand and thanked him, and when the man walked away, he casually threw the wine gourd behind him.
Zhang Hanwen saw this scene and smiled: "Liu Yaxin, this kid still hasn't given up?"
"No matter what he thinks, the Blue and White Gang is what my father left me and can only be our housekeeper, and he wants to ban it for two generations of the Liu family, they don't deserve it!" Guan Yu's words revealed murderous intentions.
Zhang Hanwen pursed his mouth and did not say any more.
"There seems to be a man lying in front of the helper. Someone shouted beside the carriage.
Everyone could see that in a place where there was obviously a lot less snow than elsewhere, a teenager was crawling in the snow with his bare upper body. The snow beneath the boy shone faintly red, the color of blood.
When the girl heard this, she grabbed the wine gourd behind her, got out of the carriage, and ran straight to the young man. Zhang Hanwen sighed helplessly and drove the carriage to turn around.
The girl came to the boy's side and grabbed the boy's little hand, "The person is still alive." ”
Hurriedly asked the two people who followed closely behind him to pick up the frozen young man, and he opened the wine gourd and poured a few wisps along the corner of the young man's mouth.
"Guan Yu, this young man is not easy to carry a storage bag, in case there is any great enemy..."Liu Yaxin, who followed closely behind, picked up the storage bag on the young man's waist and whispered.
The girl who was tightening the wine gourd on the side began to get tangled when she heard the sound. The Blue and White Gang is different from the past, the old gang leader is dead, and the whole gang is already pregnant with ghosts, so she must not make matters worse.
At this time, Zhang Hanwen also drove over, and after stabilizing the horse's mood, he jumped down, snatched the storage bag held by Liu Yaxin in his hand, opened it and took a look: "I think this child can be saved." Then he threw the storage bag in his hand to Guan Yu on the side.
Guan Yu opened the storage bag and saw that it contained a dazzling array of tables, chairs, beds and other daily necessities, and even finally found the money bag squeezed in the corner, and when he opened it, there were only a few taels of silver inside.
"What a kid who can get by. Zhang Hanwen not only sighed: "If you are afraid of trouble, wait for him to wake up and let him leave." Otherwise, this little kid will have to freeze to death here. ”
Guan Yu nodded, put the storage bag in his hand back to the young man's waist, gave an order, and then turned around and got into the carriage.
A few men carried Ying Tianyi to an empty place in the corner of the carriage, not big, but it was just right to put the young man, after a few men laid it out, they put the young man inside, and specially set up a small tent above his head for fear that he would freeze to death. As for whether he can survive or not, it depends on his own creation.
In this way, Ying Tianyi, who had been lying in the snow for seven days and seven nights, was saved.
Zhang Hanwen looked at the girl beside him, and her expression was meaningful.
Guan Yu's eyes were puzzled.
Zhang Hanwen lit a cigarette, took a big puff, and slowly spit it out, and then said: "Guan girl, do you know? This is how your Uncle Zhang was rescued by your father. Looking at you now, it hasn't changed!"
The wind and snow gradually became heavier, and everyone involuntarily wrapped their clothes, and after driving for about ten miles, they found a natural cave, and everyone hurriedly moved in with people and horses.
The cave is not big or small, more than ten zhang long.
Several big men took brooms from the carriage and cleaned the hole, and sprinkled the cave entrance and its surroundings with powder that repellent insects and beasts.
Other big men picked up a few pieces of dry wood from behind the carriage and piled them in two strands and lit them. He took out the tool rack from it again.
Liu Yaxin sat next to Guan Yu and the others, took out the meat harvested in the past few days from the storage bag and roasted it.
The storage bag on Liu Yaxin's waist was dilapidated, and it was even inferior to the bag on Ying Tianyi's waist. It's no wonder that the entire Iron Fist Gate has accumulated more than ten years to save three storage bags. You can see how rare it is.
Of course, if it is in the Eagle Wolf Guard, it is a different matter, and this rare treasure has become a must-have gift for the entry.
Liu Yaxin was roasting meat, and her eyes looked at the unconscious Ying Tianyi's waist who was arranged in the corner from time to time. is very hidden, but is seen by the veteran Zhang Hanwen.
After a while, the meat was cooked, Liu Yaxin handed the two skewers in his hand to the two of them, leaving only one skewer for himself and eating it by himself.
Guan Yu thanked him after the result, took a bite of the meat, and the other fire meat was almost cooked, and everyone was feasting. Guan Yu walked over and said with a smile: "Fortunately for everyone today, Lao Zhao went to take down the wine behind the carriage and bring two jars to beat everyone's teeth." When we arrived in Tianyu County, I invited everyone to drink. ”
The crowd burst into cheers. The man called Lao Zhao hurriedly climbed into the carriage and took down two jars of wine, for fear that she would regret it, so he hurriedly opened it and took a sip by himself.
A few people on the side hurriedly stood up, "Lao Zhao, you hurry up and put down the wine for Lao Tzu, don't dare Lao Tzu break your legs." ”
"Lao Zhao, you fucking dare to eat alone, you see that Lao Tzu is not ......"
..........
It was very lively for a while, Guan Yu smiled, I have to say that although she is not very outstanding, she has a lot of Jianghu atmosphere, but she can be very infectious.
Liu Yaxin skewered a few skewers of meat again and grilled them, "Zhang Lao, you have worked hard along the way, and the younger generation respects you." Liu Yaxin took out the wine gourd from his waist, and Zhang Hanwen also took out an old brown gourd from his waist and touched it. Liu Yaxin lowered the gourd slightly, and raised it above his head to take a sip after colliding.
Zhang Hanwen is an alcoholic, and he is happy when he takes a big sip of wine.
Liu Yaxin followed with a smile: "My father is also a person who loves wine like Zhang Lao, it just so happens that my father has admired Zhang Lao for a long time and has always wanted to talk to you about wine. ”
"Is that really the case?" Zhang Hanwen was pleasantly surprised, his hundred-year-old daughter Hongrao had never been drunk by him.
"Really!"
"Forget it. Zhang Hanwen's eyes suddenly fell, "Just as a gentleman loves money, I only have a few face-to-face relationships with your father, although we are in the same group now, but we rarely meet because of the dart." With our friendship, this altar of daughter red even in front of me has to make me drink anxious and afraid. It's not as comfortable as not drinking. ”
Hearing such words, Liu Yaxin hurriedly smiled and said, "Eh! Zhang Lao said that." In this way, Zhang Lao, don't be inconvenient to turn around, I will let the people in the house personally send it to your house, and it will be over. ”
"What are you talking about?" Guan Yu, who had just walked over, was a little curious.
"How many years has it been since Uncle Yu specially prepared for Yu Mei's daughter Hong, how does it taste in the mouth?" Liu Yaxin said with a smile.
"Get out of the way. Guan Yu did it between the two, picked up a skewer of barbecue casually, and ate it, "Zhang Lao, what do you say this kid has to wake up?" Guan Yu pointed to Ying Tianyi lying in the corner while eating.
"It's hard to say, after being so badly injured and freezing for so long in this freezing weather, it's already a miracle to survive. The old man had just fed him a little soup. Zhang Hanwen sighed and said, "All we can do now is to ensure that he doesn't die." As for when he wakes up, it depends on whether he wants to live or not. ”
"Hmm. That's up to him. Guan Yu took a big bite of meat again and muttered.
The fire in the cave is lit up, and the temperature gradually rises, keeping out the cold air.
The wind outside the cave was biting, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier.
"It's a lot of snow, fortunately this kid touched us, after tonight, I'm afraid that if I want to see him, I'll have to wait for the spring of next year!"
