Chapter 4: The Prodigal Son of the Border City
It's still early, the flowers are just right, a bottle of hero wine, draw a sword and ask the ancient road.
The green pines are green, the road is long, and if you want to ask about injustices, the moon knife at the end of the world.
A shirtless man walked at the front of the team, singing all the way. The muscles of his chest and arms glistened in the sun, and the sweat seemed to be red, and his voice was thick and desolate, and it was heard miles away......
Dusk is approaching, and the sunset is obliquely shining on the golden banner behind the big man, reflecting a dazzling light.
The flagpole is yellow, with gold trim on the flag, and two white clouds outlined in blue are embroidered in the center, and the white clouds roll with the wind, as if they are about to fly into the sky.
This is the famous wind flag in the rivers and lakes recently, and the dart flag of the big wind dart board in the four major dart games.
....................................
The dart flag is flying, and the wind is hunting.
Wang Bao sat in the setting sun, in front of him two knee-high boulders, one of his legs resting on the stone, his face expressionless, as if he was stepping on a stone.
He was a very strict man, and even when he wore patched clothes, he was sure to wash them cleanly and meticulously. He seldom laughs, and he thinks that those who laugh a lot must be soft-hearted.
He wasn't like this before, he loved to laugh, he liked to drink to help people, and he liked to talk and make friends.
Since he quietly left him four years ago in the border city, the woman who said he loved only one person in his life left him, he has become less talkative, and no one has seen him smile again.
Feelings will soften people's hearts, and people like him are not suitable for soft-heartedness, and they are not suitable for having feelings.
Few people who knew him wanted to talk to someone like him.
There were not many, but there was only one, and this man was named Simon. At this moment, he is standing behind Wang Leopard, leaning on an ancient pine, as long as there is a Wang Leopard, you can usually see Ximen Stuffy standing behind.
Ximen is not bored at all, he is not like Wang Bao who is always silent and expressionless, he belongs to the kind of person who can't stop talking and constantly provokes other people's emotions at any time.
At this time, he stared at the dart flag of the Gale Dart Bureau, clenched his fists tightly, and said to Wang Bao: "It's coming, it's finally here, I've been waiting for two days, I'm not afraid, if I don't come again, I'll really go back to the Silver Hook Gambling House, what's so fun about robbing darts......"
Wang Bao listened to him quietly, did not look back, did not answer, his eyes looked at the dart flag, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes.
Ximen should have been accustomed to Wang Leopard's silence for a long time, and muttered to himself: "Just the two of us, do you really want to rob the Gale Dart Bureau?" I really don't understand, we are not short of money to spend, why are we always dressed poorly, the master of the Gale Dart Game is like a cloud, we go to rob him, what is the fun?"
"Is the one who walks in the front called Sun Dong? Sun Jian's second apprentice?" Ximen asked himself: "It shouldn't be, Sun Dong is not so burly, I heard that he is a white-faced scholar." That is Sun Jian's third apprentice Sun Dong? It doesn't seem to be, Sun Dong lost an arm when he encountered Changbai Sidao while walking outside the gate last year. It must be the fourth child, who made the meteor hammer that Sun Shun, but he didn't see the hammer on him......"
"Will you die if you don't speak?" a voice said coldly, and it turned out that there was another person lying in the grass under the ancient pine.
This person is dressed in green clothes, even if he is half-curled up, he still looks longer than Simon's height, like a bamboo leaf green, blending in with the surrounding environment, waiting for an opportunity to move.
"What nonsense am I talking about? What I'm saying is the right thing, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent to win all battles. Hearing someone answer, Ximen was bored and chattered: "Fortunately, the old man of the Sun family is not here now, and his python whip is really not easy to deal with." I don't know which car the girl of the Sun family is in, I heard that her posture is comparable to Diao Chan, and she doesn't think about it as a second person in the Jingxiang generation, but the girl's family makes a pear flower gun, and the sky is dancing...... What do you want" Speaking of this, Ximen's face was full of fascination, and a pair of small eyes were so squinted that he couldn't find it.
"You just said that the two of you are going to rob the Gale Dart Bureau, so what am I?" said the man in Tsing Yi on the grass said coldly, his voice was like a cold wind in winter, sharp and cold, making people shudder.
"You're not human, you're a snake, a green snake. Ximen was not afraid at all, and sneered at each other: "Yuan Highway ranks second among the three snakes, but he always says that he is the boss." ”
"I am the boss, the white snake and I are twin brothers, obviously born half a stick of incense later than me, but I have to say that I am the boss. The green snake was not angry.
"That's not what the boss says, whoever has the ability is the boss. Simon teased: "If it weren't for the white snake covering you, how many times would you have died in the past two years? ”
Speaking of this, Simon looked ashamed and said: "Just like Wang Leopard, two years younger than me, I just recognize him as the boss, who calls him more capable than me......"
The green snake was stunned, when this person hurt others, he first hurt himself, and he was speechless.
Seeing that the green snake didn't answer, Ximen said to himself: "I don't know what Sun Jian thinks, he has a knife in his left hand and a whip in his right hand, the eldest apprentice Sun Yi makes a long knife, and the younger apprentice Sun Wu makes a python skin whip, which is still in the past." The second grandson used a broken fan to point the acupoints, and the third grandson used a double hammer to do it, but now there is only one arm left? The fourth grandson Shun also made a meteor hammer, the fifth grandson prepared Fang Tianshuo, and his daughter Sun Lan pear flower spear, all of which are weapons from the outer door, and everyone is different, and I don't know how he taught them alone? If it weren't for the boss's insistence that I remember them, I wouldn't be able to remember these names and weapons alone. ”
Wang Bao finally couldn't help but look back at Ximen, and he didn't know whether he was bored or helpless in his eyes. Simon shrank his head in fright, and did not dare to say any more, but the green snake swooped out of the grass like a very snake, and hung upside down on the tree.
....................................
At the time of speaking, the gale dart bureau and a group of dart cars were almost in front.
Sun Shun was seven or eight feet away behind him, followed by three carriages in the shape of a zigzag, and three strong men led the horses on foot, with cheerful horses' hooves. Clear-eyed people know at a glance that there are no important items in these three cars, and it is very likely that the living utensils of the dart bureau and the group are bedding and changing clothes. The reason why the sharp angle is in front of the front is to prepare for the impact of the opponent's formation when guarding against the strong man, and can be abandoned at any time.
After three carriages, more than a dozen dart masters rode their horses, all the way without incident, and walked for a day, most of them with a look of fatigue.
Then there were three carriages, which were obviously different from the previous ones, in a straight line, each with two dart masters on each side of the car, escorted on foot, presumably carrying important people or things. Then a big cart was pulled by three horses, and a huge Nanmu coffin was brushed five or six times with tung oil, not afraid of the sun or rain. The coffin was attended by six dart masters, reflecting a reddish glow in the glow, and it should be the coffin of the old lady. Then there were six large carts in twos and twos, without carriages, and the loaded goods were carefully tied with coarse hemp rope. At the end of the team, there were seven or eight dart masters on horseback, each carrying a long weapon in his hand, which should be a broken team.
More than ten cars before and after, fifty or sixty people, such a pomp, I haven't seen it for some years, and it is worthy of being the gale dart game in the four major dart games.
Simon looked at the change of color and asked, "Boss, just a few of us, really want to rob this dart?"
The longing in Wang Leopard's eyes became even more intense, and he finally spoke, only one word, "Tribulation!"
