Chapter 50: Where is the Way Home?
There are so many corpses that Wuya has forgotten that she is still dressed as an old woman.
Again and again he went and returned, again and again he placed different corpses in the same place, again and again he cut down branches and picked up hay.
Although in the end these will be burned by a fire.
The old man in disguise was quietly watching him, not speaking or helping.
Wu Ya looked at these corpses, he didn't know the names of these people, he didn't know the stories of these people, and he didn't know what kind of past they had with Xiwen.
Every life that has ever been alive has been burned out in this raging fire.
Except for the White Tiger.
He did not burn the body of the white tiger, unlike the others, he buried the white tiger under this pear tree.
This is the last place where the white tiger existed, the last place where it fought, how could it be burned to ashes and gone with the wind.
"You have always liked to drink when you were alive, but every time you drink, you will get drunk, and when you get drunk, you will go crazy, you have teased Xiwen and Xilei, and you have also angered Qinglong and the fat man. Although your martial arts are world-famous, you have been scolded and beaten a lot, only the drunkard master doesn't take it seriously. Now that you're gone, you won't be able to drink the delicious bamboo leaves to sit on, you'll never have a chance to taste the fat man's treasured daughter's red, and you'll never have a chance to drink with us again. Life is impermanent, I didn't expect to see you like this again, if you see me dressed at the moment, you will definitely laugh out loud. Wuya took out the wine he found from the village, a total of ten jars, drank it himself, and spilled the rest on the grave of the white tiger.
"You won't die in vain. Wuya said, bowing to the grave of the white tiger.
The sky was clear, and an old man waited quietly for the old woman beside him, until the old woman finally stopped all movements.
The old man said, "Rest off, and we should hurry." ”
The old woman let out a sigh of relief and sat on the ground without speaking.
After a long time, he said, "Hurry, where are you going?"
The old man thought for a while and said, "The target of those people is Xiwen, but just now, among these corpses, except for a friend of yours, there is no Xiwen, which means that she was either taken away or escaped." ”
The old woman stood up, patted the dust on her body, and instead of answering the old man's words, she asked, "Aren't you sad at all that so many things have happened here and so many people have died?
"I don't know. The old man said, "But now I won't, except for you, they have nothing to do with me here, why be sad." ”
The old woman wanted to say something, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed again, as if she felt that what the old man said was right, and it was okay to go. Thinking about it like this, his depressed mood slowly eased a little.
"What's next?" the old man continued.
The old woman calmed down and said: "As you said, Xiwen's family is not among these people, if Yaowanggu gave her a killing order, she must have fled if she did not die." The white tiger has always been inseparable from the green dragon, and the drunkard will definitely appear where they appear, so it seems that after the white tiger was broken, the drunkard and the green dragon escaped with Xiwen's family. ”
"Where will they flee?" asked the old man.
"Go south. The old woman replied, "From the north to the south, as far as the Central Plains City." ”
It is always necessary to return to the Central Plains City, which is the beginning of the story, the starting point and the way back.
Wuya and Ugly, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, pretended to be two old men and set off south.
Along the way, they ate and slept in the open, chasing stars day by day, and they were in love with each other. At first, Wuya felt that dressing up in disguise was too much, and pretending to be an old woman made him particularly uncomfortable, but Ugly, as an old man, took care of him in every way, and he looked like a good old man when someone was no, which made him doubt himself.
But they didn't find any useful news, after all, this is in the north, and it doesn't belong to the sphere of influence of the Medicine King Valley, but the people of the Medicine King Valley shouldn't be like this, they don't make any moves, and the drunkard and Xiwen and the gang are nowhere to be found.
Without any news from them, Wuya finally found out about Nanzhen's whereabouts, which was like a bolt from the blue to him.
If it weren't for Ah Chou stopping him, he would have rushed to Shuzhou City a long time ago.
He didn't believe that Monroe would kill Nan Zhen, and he didn't believe that Nan Zhen would hurt innocent people in order to kill Monroe, but who else could there be if it wasn't Nan Zhen in this rumored Changbai Mountain demon?
It was night, there was wind, and the crackling sound of the firewood burning made Wuya more and more bored, and he wished that he had a pair of wings, and flew to Monroe to ask for clarification.
Ah Chou just looked at him lightly and asked, "This Nanzhen girl, do you care about her very much?"
"That's nature, he's my sister!" said Wuya angrily.
"Sister? Ah Chou was like a bad old man watching a play at the moment, and said with a playful face: "Then does she care about you?"
Wuya was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?"
Ugly yawned, waved his hand and said, "Don't be angry, I don't mean anything." Have you noticed that there have been a lot of birds in the sky in recent days?"
Although it is early spring now, it is not strange for birds to fly, but it is strange for flocks of birds to fly south at this time.
"I'm just guessing that maybe that blue bird is the ghost, if she leaves here and returns to Shuzhou City, it will also be a good thing for us, there will be a lot less threat. A Chou said: "On the other hand, if you rush back to Shuzhou City in such a hurry, something must have happened there." ”
Wu Ya felt more and more that Ah Chou was hiding something from him, so he asked, "Do you know something?"
Ah Chou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Wuya to ask such a question, so he replied: "It's not that I know anything, but you know too little, and it's easy to be led by the nose." We lack information at the moment, hearsay is not enough to believe, you have to save your sister's heart, I understand, but you have to figure out the current situation. If she dies, do you want to take revenge? Yaowang Valley and Shuzhou City have a nest of snakes and rats, and they always have to deal with them, so it is better to think in the long run; if she is not dead, you don't have to worry. What's more...... "Ugly sold a pass."
"What's more?" asked Wuya.
Ugly smiled and shook his head, approached Wuya and pointed to his head. said: "If you think about things, it's always too simple, and sooner or later you will suffer." ”
Just like the old man blamed the old woman for being careless, Wuya was speechless by Ah Ugly.
Yes, the things encountered, one after another, one link after another, are always so complicated.
Complicated, is it the rivers and lakes, or the hearts of the people?
Nanzhen, what happened to you? If Monroe really kills you, I will let the entire Shuzhou City give you a burial!
Handan City is a big city in the north, and as soon as it arrives, the population increases.
It is not a person who is noble or low, but there are also workers, peasants, businessmen, and soldiers. The hard-working worker, the honest peasant, the deceitful businessman, the scholar and the soldier who defends the party.
Of course, there are many more subdivisions, or three, six, nine, etc., or three hundred and sixty lines, but you can't avoid one of them.
That's the beggar.
The strength of the beggar gang is no longer as strong as it was back then, but it is still the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, especially in the south of Jizhou City, east of Chang'an City, and north of Central Plains City, there are still a large number of beggar gang disciple activities.
Wuya and the beggar gang have a lot of origins, although many years have passed, Wang Tianbao, the leader of the beggar gang, still owes Wuya a favor. Therefore, it is much easier to find the drunkards by taking the line of the beggars.
Wuya told Ah Chou her idea, and Ah Chou also thought it was feasible, but she had never dealt with the beggar gang, so she asked Wu Ya: "Are the people in the beggar gang all beggars?
Without waiting for Wuya to answer, he saw Ah Chou walking towards a beggar nearby, and Wu Ya didn't have time to dissuade him, and Ah Chou had already started talking to the man.
I saw Ah Chou walk towards the beggar, took out a few pieces of silver, and asked in the voice of an old man: "This little brother, I came from Shangjing, and I was separated from my daughter along the way, my aunt and daughter are still holding the child, I don't know where to find it, I also know that there are many brothers in our beggar gang, can you help me find it?"
The beggar was very happy to see the money, and immediately accepted the money and laughed, and said to the ugly: "Don't worry, my father-in-law, I will do things for you after receiving your money, you wait, I will go to my brothers to help you ask." With that, he walked away.
Ugly was very happy and came over to tell Wuya. Wuya smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect you to be so scheming that you would be planted in the hands of a little beggar." ”
Ugly was stunned for a moment and asked what Wuya meant. Wuya smiled: "If you ask people like this, you can't ask, if you don't believe you're waiting here, no one will come to tell you when you wait until the Year of the Monkey." ”
Ah Scandal immediately became angry and scolded: "What do you mean? Didn't you say that the beggars are reliable?"
"I didn't say that beggars have to be beggars. Moreover," Wuya said, "The people of the beggar gang have a rule, if someone asks someone about something, they don't know anything. ”
"Fart!" Ah Ugly scolded, "Then I didn't give that beggar money for nothing! Since I don't know anything, I will definitely break his dog's leg when I see him again!"
"Not necessarily. Wuya said, "The information network of the beggar gang is very complicated, but there must be a way to find out the news." ”
"What's the way?" asked Ugly.
Wuya pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "You'll know in a moment." ”
As the two continued walking, they met the beggars again, this time not one, but a gang.
There were five beggars, four of whom were bowing their heads and begging in all directions, and only the middle one, with an apple in his hand, was bored watching the passers-by come and go.
Wuya said to Ugly, "That's him." ”
As he spoke, he walked straight to the beggar, first bowed his hand, and then said, "Huo Ji, let's go?"
The beggar was stunned for a moment, saluted back, and said, "It's warm today, wander around, and look around." Auntie, do you have four dead dead?"
Wuya said: "This old woman is also Mo Sasi, and she wants to ask if she is beaten to death." ”
The beggar replied, "When you ask about it, you know how to beat it, but you don't know how to beat it." ”
Wuya said: "There are some four on the shore in the north, and a few people have come over, all the time, there are men and women, there are broken babies, and there is a light love fire wine, a greedy and shrewd man, these people have seen Mo?"
The beggar frowned and replied, "These people have a relationship with you?"
Wuya said: "You don't care about this, do you think you can help Exinyi?"
They didn't understand a word of their conversation, but they saw the beggar reply: "You can do this Hashe, you don't charm you, Guangsa has seen it, other Daomo, you can ask the Hahuo Nanren." The front end of the two leaks turned left, and the first person in the house played money, and asked angrily. ”
Wuya thanked him: "Endurance can be done, don't ask your surname?"
"Mosa is famous, and Yang Lao Er at the street corner beats the division. With that, a group of beggars departed from the end.
Ah Chou hurriedly walked towards the end and asked with suspicion, "What are you saying, why can't I understand?"
Wuya smiled: "The second rule of the beggar gang, if someone asks three words, they will answer it. ”
Ugly asked, "What are the three words?"
Wuya said: "Hebei official dialect, Guanzhong local dialect, Central Plains local dialect, what I just said is Guanzhong local dialect." ”
Ah Chou looked contemptuous and scolded: "You still have this ability, so what should we do now?"
Wuya replied: "If the beggar surnamed Yang just now is right, there is a gambling house at the second intersection on the left in front, and the person who has seen the drunkard should be there." ”
Ah Chou walked all the way forward with Wuya, and sure enough, he saw a gambling house, and the two were just about to enter, but they were blocked by the gatekeeper.
"You two, you're in the wrong place, isn't this a place to sell vegetables?" the janitor laughed.
Ah Chou looked annoyed, and threw a handful of broken silver on the gatekeeper's face, and the gatekeeper smiled even brighter, and said directly: "Little clumsy, two uncles and aunts, please inside, please inside, please be careful of the steps." ”
The gambling house is smoky and the personnel are mixed, but Ah Chou and Wu Ya found an acquaintance at a glance at the same time, isn't it the little beggar who cheated Ah Chou of his money just now?
When the little beggar saw them, he was also stunned, realized that something was wrong, and wanted to run away, but was stopped by the people around him.
"What are you running, it's a big fool, you want to run if you lose money, this plate is not over yet!"
Looking at the little beggar named Da Flicker who was being held down, Wuya and Ah Chou laughed strangely.
