Chapter 275: Grab two horses in a row
Hu Qiong didn't want to stay on the road, so as not to be mistaken for a scoundrel by the Lunatic Cult, he decided to go to Jiangxi now, one is to defect to his uncle, and the other is to find news of Xiao Chaodong, as long as he completes the test of the sect leader, he can see Miss Duoyun again.
Came to Ningzhenguan, knelt down to worship the real person, and thanked the real person for helping him find the cloud girl. Walk down the hill and back into the boat. At the end of last year, I brought a guest from Jiangxi to this Ningzhen Temple, and when he walked to the back of the temple, he heard that he was taken away by the Lunatic Worship Sect, and he has not seen him come down the mountain so far. ”
Hu Qiong said: "I have seen the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect, they are all kind and help the needy. This Jiangxi native deceived a female disciple in the sect and caused her to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff. He stole the swordsmanship he taught, and he didn't know where he was hiding. ”
The boatmen all sighed: "Seeing is believing." If it weren't for what Engong said, we would all be wrong about the Lunatic Cult. ”
On the second day, the boat sailed down the river, which was really "a light boat has crossed ten thousand mountains" and "a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day". In a few days, the ship had arrived at Yiling Wharf. Hu Qiong got off the shore and walked back to Wang Baobao's house. After spending the night at his house, Hu Qiong repaid the boat money, pulled his horse, and said goodbye to the mountain.
Along the Yangtze River, I soon came to the Zhijiang River, rode to the north of the mountain, dismounted and walked to the mountain, and worshiped Master Bai Guanghua. Then he rode north, came to the mountain, dismounted, and went into the valley, and took away the stone, and took out some silver taels, sealed them, and went out of the mountain.
All the way to the east, soon came to Jingzhou. I didn't dare to go home during the day, so I hid in the mountains until it was dark, and then I walked step by step to the thatched hut in front of the ancestral grave. It was a three-room thatched hut where the mother had slept and there was no light. Hu Qiong was uneasy, walked forward, and knocked on the door.
"Who?" was the mother's voice.
"It's me. Hu Qiong's nose suddenly became sour and her voice choked.
After a while, the lights in the room came on, and the door opened with a "bang", and Hu Mu probed out. "Mother......" Hu Qiong rushed forward and hugged her mother.
"Joan is back. Hu's mother looked left and right, pulled Hu Qiong into the house, and looked carefully under the light, her son's face was dusty.
Mother Hu asked, "When did you come back?" and have you ever seen your uncle?"
Hu Qiong said: "I came back a long time ago, I didn't dare to go home, and I hid in the mountains." ”
"What did your uncle say?"
Hu Qiong said: "My uncle was transferred to Jiangxi to serve as an official, and I haven't seen my uncle yet." ”
At this time, several dog barks were heard in the distance. Hu Mu hurriedly blew out the light in one breath, and asked in a panic, "Have you met anyone?"
Hu Qiong said: "I came here in the dark, and I didn't meet anyone?"
"Lord Wang was killed, involving many families, causing a lot of trouble, and now the government is watching closely, you should leave quickly. As he spoke, he pushed Hu Qiong outside.
Hu Qiong choked up and said, "Mother, where do you let the child go?"
Hu Mu said: "It's not that my mother is ruthless, so you ran away from home at a young age." I'm afraid you'll be arrested by the government. You should go to Jiangxi and let your uncle explain my family's grievances. ”
Hu Qiong said: "I'll leave before dawn tomorrow morning." ”
"No, I can't. Hu Mu said firmly, "You go now, the sooner the better." Insisted on pushing Hu Qiong out of the door.
Hu Qiong took out two taels of silver from the package, handed it to her mother, and said, "Use these silvers." ”
Hu Mu said: "Where did you get the money? You left it on the road and used it at home, wouldn't it make the government suspicious? ”
At this time, the sister had already gotten up and walked over, and saw that her brother was out alone, suffering a lot, and holding her brother's hand, but she was in tears and couldn't speak. Hu Qiong hurriedly took out the golden hairpin from his body and said, "Sister, this is your golden hairpin, I am reluctant to use it, and I will return it to you now." ”
The girl took the golden hairpin. Hu Qiong confessed: "Sister, I'm not at home, you are filial to my mother." ”
Hu Qiong was afraid that her mother would be worried, and after a few words, she walked out of the house, the mother and son were reluctant, Hu Qiong turned her head, ruthlessly heartfelt, and ran into the deep night like flying.
The girl leaned on her mother's shoulder and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, my brother is running down very fast!"
Hu Mu said: "He is alone, there are few people to take care of, and he must have suffered a lot when he was bullied." I couldn't help but be sad and shed tears, "It's not that my mother is ruthless, if he is arrested by the government......"
"Mother, brother understands in his heart, let's go into the house. ”
Enter the house and close the door, lie down and sleep.
After Hu Qiong resigned from her mother, she traveled day and night to the east. In a few days, I have gone to Jiangxi and inquired about it, and my uncle Zheng Wenjun is in Renzhi County, Fenyi County. Hu Qiong whipped his horse quickly and rushed towards the southeast.
On this day, they came to the river, and there was a big boat by the river for people to cross the river. Hu Qiong led the horse and wanted to get on the boat. At this time, a man ran from the south, ran to the front, took out a knife, quickly cut the reins of the horse, pulled Hu Qiong's horse, turned over the horse, slapped the horse, and the horse galloped north. Before Hu Qiong could react, the horse had already run out of a stone's throw away.
Hu Qiong hurriedly used the light skill of "flying with the wind" and rushed like a shadow. It's time to catch up. Then a man came on horseback from the north, and the thief shouted, "Someone from behind has robbed me of my horse." "Never ran past people.
The man jumped off the horse, stood in the middle of the road, and stopped Hu Qiong. Where can Hu Qiong tell him in detail, he was about to rush over directly, the man reached out to pull, Hu Qiong was powerful, but the man was very well-behaved, following Hu Qiong's running power, pulling Hu Qiong's clothes and not letting go, so that his running speed slowed down.
Hu Qiong ran a few steps, and when he saw that the horse had run away, he turned around and said to the visitor: "What are you stopping me for?"
"In broad daylight, you rob other people's horses!"
Hu Qiong said: "He stole my horse. ”
The man looked forward, and the man had already disappeared on horseback, believing what Hu Qiong said.
The man was of medium height, thin and weak, white and clean, and his face was not heroic enough, but more than beautiful. He said, "I'll give you another snatch." ”
Hu Qiong said: "Forget it, the package was not robbed." ”
The man said, "What can you do? If you don't take it back, if you don't punish him, he'll do evil." ”
With that, he turned over his horse and galloped away. Hu Qiong had to stand where he was and wait for him to return. Half a day without returning. Hu Qiong thought to herself: "Are they not a gang, one grabs the horse, and the other blocks it." It seemed that the horse could not be recovered, but fortunately the package was still there, so I had to give up and turn and walk towards the river.
I was walking more than a mile when I heard someone shouting from behind, "Wait for me......"
Hu Qiong turned his head, the man ran back, Hu Qiong laughed: "Don't you worry about my package?"
Then he stood still. The man ran to him and said, "The robber has helpers, and when he saw me gone, he took away my horse." What can I do?"
Hu Qiong identified him as a gang of robbers, and said indifferently: "Forget it." "Turn around and want to leave.
"How's that going to work? Let's go and get it back. I know they are robbers from Zhangren Mountain, and we will go to the robbers' den to make trouble. ”
Where will Hu Qiong fall for him? Ignore him, raise his feet and leave. The man hurried a few steps, stopped in front of him, and said, "You're still not a man?
"He didn't snatch my package. Hu Qiong bypassed him and continued walking.
"What a!" the man stomped.
Hu Qiong ignored him. The man said: "Seeing that you have a short sword hanging from your waist, I thought you had the ability, but it turned out to be a coward." ”
Hu Qiong turned a deaf ear, as long as the package was still there, and continued to walk forward, the man had to follow. At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and a man came on horseback. The man shouted, "Oh no, the robbers have come to rob you of your package." ”
Hu Qiong stood on the side of the road, and the robber ran closer, jumped off his horse, and said to Hu Qiong, "Leave your parcel behind." ”
Although Hu Qiong is a stranger, he is bold and ignores him. Seeing that the other party didn't give it, the robber had to grab it with his hands, pulled out his knife, and slashed at Hu Qiong, who hurriedly dodged and dodged.
The man next to him said, "You stole my horse, and I'm not done with you." "Draw your sword and stab at the robber. The robber gave up Hu Qiong to fight the man, and the two were killed in one place. Hu Qiong stood on the sidelines and watched the battle.
The robber used a knife, the knife was fierce, and he was about to cut the man into two pieces, the man was weak, and the sword was light, and he was looking for the gap of the opponent's knife to pierce it, and the two of them leaped and killed lively.
After more than twenty rounds of killing, the man gradually lost his strength and shouted, "You still don't help." ”
Hu Qiong saw that the two were not in a group, so he hurriedly stepped forward and used the "windward swing" swordsmanship, and the two fought the robbers. The hero is invincible with four hands, the robber slashed at the man, Hu Qiong's sword was like a meteor, a sword stabbed the robber in the left rib, the robber turned around and cut Hu Qiong, and the man took the opportunity to stab the robber in the waist with a sword. The robber screamed and jumped away, and the blood dripped to the ground.
The man inserted his sword back, slapped his hands, and laughed: "The robbers of Zhangren Mountain are nothing more than that." ”
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again. The man said, "Run." "Fly on your horse and run south. Hu Qiong performed the light skill of "flying with the wind" and ran next to the horse.
Along the river, running for a while, the robbers did not catch up. Immediately, the man slowed down his horse and asked Hu Qiong: "You are very capable, why were you as timid as a mouse just now?" By the way, you are not a local accent, where are you from?"
"I am from Jingzhou, Huguang. ”
"When you come to our Jiangxi, you are naturally careful everywhere, and I am not afraid of them. ”
The robbers did not chase after them. "Oh. Immediately, the man slapped his head, reined in his horse, and said, "I see, why you were lukewarm to me just now, I think you took me as one of them." Look, I'm like it now?"
Hu Qiong said: "Now it doesn't seem like it. ”
The man turned over and dismounted, and said, "My horse has returned, but your horse has not returned." What can you do?"
This man is less than twenty years old, he is handsome, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth, he is a man but he is not masculine enough, if he is a woman, he is a beautiful woman. Hu Qiong only felt close to him, and it was difficult to refuse him, so he said, "Childe, what do you say?"
"Snatch it back again. ”
Hu Qiong had defeated the robber just now, and his confidence was sufficient, coupled with the young man's competitive heart, he wanted to agree with that person's words, but he unconsciously hesitated again. The man said, "Why are you so unheroic, like a woman?" ”
Hu Qiong made up her mind and said, "Okay, I'll go and grab it back." ”
"What's your name?"
Hu Qiong thought to herself: "I can't give my real name." He said, "My name is Gu Qiong." ”
The man said, "My name is Liu Yanfei. ”
At this time, the twilight is vast, and the birds are flying quickly. Liu Yanfei said: "There is a market town there, we went to have dinner, and we went straight to the cottage at night." ”
