Chapter 13 Stealing mountain ginseng and escaping to the snowfield

When Wang Cai woke up, he found that his brother-in-law, or Master, was sitting at the table next to him drinking tea.

Xue Maocai glanced at Wang Cai and said, "Wake up, let's talk about it, what the hell is going on, what do you want to do? I was beaten unconscious by a poor boy, you are not ashamed of the master, but you are ashamed, shameful! Also, what kind of deep hatred does that kid have with you, you have to use forbidden tricks? If your father hadn't sent you over in time, you would have been a waste person by now! I said that you are a genius, you are a genius? A dead person is not qualified to say that he is a genius. ”

Wang Cai gritted his teeth and said: "Originally, he couldn't beat me, I pressed him to beat, but I don't know what's wrong, that guy went crazy and exchanged punches with me, all of them were injured for injuries, and I was angry after being punched several times, and then I made a forbidden move, but in the end I didn't beat him down." But no, even ordinary people couldn't stand my punch at that time, not to mention that he was a sick man, a poor boy!"

Xue Maocai looked at his so-called apprentice and sighed: "Your martial arts qualifications are good, but you can't turn your brain around much? He can exchange punches with you, and you still treat him as a child? Also, people in the world are lucky to meet me, and after only a few months of boxing, you don't know how many pounds and taels you have, and you are the strongest in the world! Others can't have a master or something? If you are a genius, others can't be? Stupid or not? Then again, no matter what, I am also half of your master, you are also half of my apprentice, and besides, there is also your sister's relationship, no matter how much I beat you, it is a family matter, and it is not okay for others to beat you! Let's talk about it, how do you want to take revenge?" After speaking, Xue Maocai's eyes showed a terrifying light.

Wang Cai saw that his brother-in-law was supporting him, and said viciously: "I want their family to bury me!"

Xue Maocai smiled: "You are really your sister's own brother, when you think of it, even the words are exactly the same." I said not now, think about it carefully, think about it, tell me, don't fight and kill at every turn, I haven't heard of people outside the people, there are mountains outside the mountains?

Wang Cai was silent for a moment and said, "I shouldn't be impulsive, I shouldn't fight and kill at every turn." Since Zhou Changsheng can defeat me, then he is definitely not as simple as an ordinary child, he can only move after checking it out, as the master said, do things to plan and then move. ”

Xue Maocai said: "At this time, I look like my apprentice, I thought that I was not a genius, but a fool." I've sent someone to check the situation, but whatever the situation is, the key is what are you going to do?"

Wang Cai gritted his teeth with a gloomy face and said: "No matter what Zhou Changsheng is trying to hide from pretending to be sick or what he is hiding behind his back, one day I will defeat him with my own hands, kill him, return all the humiliation he humiliated to him, and make him pay a hundredfold and a thousand times the price!"

Xue Maocai looked at Wang Cai with interest and said, "It seems that this failure is not without gain, at least it has woken you up! It's not terrible to lose, I'm afraid of losing my heart." Originally, I was thinking about whether or not to take you away, but I don't think about it anymore. I'm going back to the barracks in a few days, how about it, if you're interested, follow me, that's where men should be. ”

Wang Cai said directly: "Master's arrangement, naturally there is nothing wrong, I will listen to Master." ”

Xue Maocai looked at Wang Cai again and said: "It's really changed, you have learned to pat on the back, it seems that you lost this time and it was worth it." Yes, but if you get over there, there will be no one to protect you, whether you are dead or alive depends on God's face, so do you still go?"

Wang Cai said: "It's all up to the master's arrangement, if it weren't for you, I'm still a civilian who is bullied by others, all of my things are given by the master, and everything is naturally arranged by the master." ”

Jade Owl Mountain, Snow Jade Peak, an old man in white fur is cautiously approaching a stockade on the mountain.

This village, look not big, several wooden houses are scattered in the col, surrounded by sylvestris pine, red pine, fir trees, a few people can not hold it, the thin one also has a thick bowl mouth, the wooden house is hidden in it, if it is a little farther away, you can't see where the wooden house is, the location is extremely secret. Coupled with the fact that it often snows on Jade Owl Mountain, and the wooden roof is covered with a thick layer of snow, it is even more difficult to find. I don't know what the old man did to find such a secret place.

The old man said to himself: "Chen Blind, you should be cautious, Lao Tzu squatted for three days and three nights to follow your people to find this place, and he almost got lost in the middle, in order to order some mountain ginseng! This snow jade peak is really fucking cold, grandpa and I are about to freeze into ice lumps, you are quite happy, eating meat, drinking wine, don't cry later!" The old man hid in a secret position, looking at the rooms from a distance.

In one of the slightly larger wooden houses, several people were around the table munching on meat and drinking.

A man with a thin body and an ape-like figure said: "Boss, have we been careful recently, although the six-grade mallet of the City Lord's Mansion was touched by the thief, who knows if it is true or fake." Besides, that doesn't mean that the thief is eyeing us! What's more, only the three of us know where we hide ginseng, and the thief can't find it even if he has great powers!"

A middle-aged man who was not tall but was extremely strong took a sip of wine and said: "Third brother, you underestimate that thief too much! What kind of place is the City Lord's Mansion, with your skills, do you think you can escape unharmed in the City Lord's Mansion? You eat dry rice when you are a thunder sword? No matter what, people are also grandmaster-level masters." I also heard that on that day, Lei Jian didn't leave that person behind. ”

The third child continued: "It's really fake, if you escape in the hands of the Thunder Sword, at worst you have to be a first-class martial artist close to the grandmaster, and we haven't heard of any thief in Cold Wind City who has such skills." ”

A burly middle-aged man in the middle said: "Second, third, no matter what, it's always a big mistake to be careful, I always feel restless these days, as if something is going to happen." Besides, the place where we hide ginseng has been used for several years, who knows if there is a news in the middle and someone is targeted. Call both of you over today, just go over to see if the ginseng is still there, and then just reply to the shopkeeper Chen, and then find a place to hide it when the time comes. Don't just look at other people's jokes at that time, and you don't even know that your backyard is on fire. The hundreds of people under our hands rely on these mallets to eat and drink, if something goes wrong, it's no wonder that the shopkeeper Chen doesn't skin us alive!"

The second and third children said together: "Listen to the eldest brother!"

These three people are the right-hand men of the blind man Chen, known as the three heroes of the jade owl. The thin one is the third one, nicknamed the Sky Monkey, the short one is the second one, nicknamed the Sitting Tiger, and the big one is nicknamed Mangshan Niu when he is burly. Because the city lord's mansion six-grade snow jade ginseng was stolen, it made people panic, and the blind man Chen sent the three of them to see if their things were still there, so don't let people steal them.

After the three of them finished eating and drinking, they waited until it was dark, tightened the leather jacket and felt hat on their bodies, walked out of the door, scanned the surroundings, found nothing abnormal, and quietly disappeared behind the house. It's just that the three of them never thought that they had already been targeted.

The old man saw the three of them coming out of the house, and said in his heart: "I'm afraid that you won't move, why did Lao Tzu take such a big risk to steal the snow jade ginseng from the city lord's mansion, and deliberately make things bigger, isn't it just that I'm afraid that you won't move, if you don't move, the ghost will know where you hid the mallet, and if you don't make a lot of noise, you will want to change places?"

The old man was far behind them, and they saw the three of them turning east and west, walking and stopping, and almost found the old man's trace several times. In the end, it took a long time to come to a boulder halfway up the mountain. The three of them looked around again, and then turned over the boulder.

The old man didn't dare to get too close, and it was dark, so he couldn't see what was hiding behind the stone, so he had to wait patiently. After waiting for a long time and no one came out, the old man had to quietly touch it.

As soon as he arrived at the boulder, he heard a voice behind the boulder, which made the old man sweat and hurriedly hid in the snowdrift under the shadow of the boulder.

The monkey said: "Look, I said it's okay, you still don't believe it." No matter how powerful the thief is, it is impossible to find this place, so go back and tell the shopkeeper Chen Da, so that the old man can put his heart in his stomach. ”

Mangshan Niu said: "Also, maybe I've been too nervous lately, let's go, go back, it's snowing again this day, it's so fucking cold!"

The three of them were agile one by one, and they rushed out directly from the boulder, but they didn't find the old man hiding behind the boulder.

When the three of them were far away, the old man got out of the snowdrift, took a long breath and said, "I almost didn't suffocate inside, little rabbit cubs, thank you for leading the way." With that, he rolled over the boulder, but found nothing.

"It's strange, how can there be nothing, there's no other way around here?" said the old man to himself.

The old man searched carefully again, and found a hole hidden by the snow of dead trees. The old man removed the branches and peeled away the snow, revealing a small hole. I opened the fire fold and walked in to take a look, and several sacks of mountain ginseng were piled up inside like firewood. Most of the sacks are small ginseng below the fifth grade, and those above the fifth grade are wrapped in good skins and neatly piled aside. The old man even found three six-grade mountain ginseng and one seven-grade ginseng inside, both in wooden boxes.

"Hehe, this is enough for that kid, more than enough. It can be regarded as an apprenticeship owed by the teacher. God knows how that kid could have met such a good master as me!" Reflecting the firelight, the old man's face gradually became clear, it was Sun Shanqing, the blacksmith shop.

The Jade Owl Sanjie had just left the cave not far away, when the eldest Mangshan Niu suddenly stopped under a tree, sniffed it with his nose and said, "Second and third, which of you smoked?"

The Sky Monkey and the Sitting Tiger said in unison: "No, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to come here, and everything is in the house." ”

Mangshan Niu looked down, walked to a pine tree, touched it on the ground with his hand, smelled it, and suddenly said: "It's not good, we are being followed, go back quickly!" After speaking, the three of them accelerated and hurried back.

This thing is to blame, and it can only be blamed on Gongsun Shanqing's bad luck. He was an old smoking gun, and he couldn't help but smoke two puffs when he became addicted to smoking, and this time he was already trying to be as patient as possible, but no one thought that halfway through, Gongsun Shanqing's pocket of tobacco would be scratched by a branch, and all the tobacco would be spilled. Gongsun Shanqing was anxious to keep up with the pace of the Jade Owl Sanjie, but he was afraid of being discovered by them, so he didn't notice that his tobacco was spilled on the ground. When the jade owl Sanjie returned the same way, he happened to be smelled by the boss Mangshan Niu and broke his whereabouts.

When the Jade Owl Sanjie returned to the boulder, he happened to see Gongsun Shanqing walking out of the cave with mountain ginseng on his back.

The Jade Owl Sanjie killed him directly. The monkey held a short stick in his hand and slashed it on his head, the sitting tiger held two short-handled steel forks and stabbed straight to the chest, and the Mangshan Ox brandished a ghost-headed knife to cut his legs. said that it was too late, it was fast, Gongsun Shanqing turned over and dodged the attack of the three of them with a harrier, and ran away.

Gongsun Shanqing was running through the pine forest with his pocket on his back at an extraordinary speed. Followed by three people, the speed was also extremely fast, tightly behind the old man.

Mangshan Niu shouted: "Don't run, you damn thief, you want to run away after stealing your grandfather's ginseng! I was caught by my grandfather, and I took your heart and liver to drink!"

Gongsun Shanqing said: "Eldest nephew, don't be angry first, isn't it just a few mountain ginseng, as for such a prosperous teacher? Grandpa, I won't leave you a few more." ”

The tiger who sat on the ground said angrily: "The thief stole it, do you know whose ginseng you stole from, that is the goods of the master Chen Da, now there is still a way to live if you put it down, if you are caught up by our brothers, not only you, but even your family will have to be scraped alive!"

Gongsun Shanqing ran for a while and saw that the three of them were chasing after him, and he was carrying a big bag on his back, and he would definitely be caught up in the end, and said in his heart: "If you knew earlier, you would have taken less, and people still can't be too greedy." Then he threw out all the small ginseng in the hemp bag little by little, and scattered it all the way, until finally only the three six-pinned ginseng, one ginseng general and a dozen five-grade ginseng, and the rest were all thrown out.

The jade owl Sanjie saw that the mountain ginseng that had been scattered all the way was not chasing, and it was not chasing it, and finally Mangshan Niu spoke: "I will chase it first, you first clean up the mountain ginseng on the ground, and quickly go back to inform the master of the hand, let him take the brothers to search the mountain!"

As soon as the words were finished, the two disappeared into the vast snowfield one after the other.
