Chapter 758: The Old Man's Account Accepts a Righteous Girl
Even fierce men like Dong Tianba and Zhao Shaohai who don't care about anything, at this time, under the power of the great storm that the heavens and the earth change, they can only tremble.
In the hearts of these two people, a thought flashed at the same time: "I want to find some imperial tomb labyrinth for no reason, and I rushed from Shanxi to this big desert, but I was buried here." ”
The wind howled and roared, like thousands of evil spirits wielding at the same time.
The great storm on the desert howled all night, and it was not until the next morning that it gradually calmed down.
Dong Tianba and Zhao Shaohai got up from the yellow sand, checked the people and horses, and finally lost little, killing two partners and five horses.
But everyone was exhausted, and to make matters worse, the little girl on the back of the white horse was gone, and Nineteen was buried in the windy sand. The stout man with martial arts can't resist it, let alone a delicate and tender little girl.
Everyone lit a fire in the desert to cook, and rested for a long time, Dong Tianba passed down the order: "Whoever finds the traces of the white horse and the little girl will be rewarded with fifty taels of gold!"
The people who followed him to Huijiang were all high-rollers from the Jin, Shaanxi, and Ganliang areas, and they went out thousands of miles just for money, and fifty taels of gold was not a small amount. The crowd roared with joy, and more than fifty people scattered on the reckless yellow sand, like a big fan.
"White horse, little girl, fifty taels of gold!" these three thoughts turned in everyone's hearts.
Some of them went west, some to the northwest, and some to the southwest, and agreed to meet sixty miles due west when it was dark.
More than ten miles away in a moment, looking far away, but see an oasis, can not see the edge, all over the field is full of cattle and sheep. In the far west, tents were erected, and there were six or seven hundred of them.
Zhou Tong couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this kind of momentum. Since he entered Xinjiang and returned to Xinjiang, he has seen no more than thirty or forty tent families gathered together, but this is the first time he has seen such a large tribe. Look at the tent style, it is obvious that it is Kazakh.
The Kazakhs are the most courageous of the Hui ethnic groups, both men and women, and grow on horseback from the age of six or seven. Everyone in the man carries a knife, riding and arching the knife, and shocking the west. There has always been a saying: "One Kazakh is worth a hundred cowards, and a hundred Kazakhs can go rampant back to the ministry." ”
Zhou Tong heard this sentence and thought: "Among the Kazakh tribes, you have to be careful. ”
I saw a lonely thatched hut at the foot of a hill in the northeast corner. The hut, rudimentary, was far away from the tents.
Zhou Tong looked at the thatched hut carefully, and thought: "This house seems to be the style of the Han people, could it be that the Han people live in it?" The roof of the thatched hut is covered with hard thatch grass growing on the edge of the Gobi, and the walls are made of mud bricks.
He thought, "Let's go to this hut first." The horse went to the hut. The mount under his crotch had been hungry for a day and a night, and suddenly he saw grass all over the ground, and he walked very slowly, taking a step and eating two bites.
Zhou Tong kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and the horse was in pain and ran to the hut in one breath. Zhou Tong squinted his eyes, and saw a high-headed white horse tied to the back of the thatched hut, with strong legs and long hyenas, which was the mount of You Long Wutian.
He couldn't help but shout: "White horse, white horse is here!" With a thought, he turned over and dismounted, pulled out a sharp short knife from his boots, caged it in the sleeve of his left hand, and quietly hid behind the hut, and was about to look into the house through the window, when the white horse hissed "woo mile ......", as if he had noticed him.
Zhou Tong scolded angrily in his heart: "Beast!" Fixedly, when he looked into the window again, a face in the window poked up at the same time. Zhou Tong's nose just touched his nose, but he saw that this person's face was full of wrinkles and his eyes were blazing.
Zhou Tong was taken aback, put his feet a little, went out, and shouted, "Who is it?"
The man said coldly, "Who are you, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Tong was shocked for a moment, with a smile on his face, and said: "My surname is Zhou Mingtong, and I came here unintentionally, which alarmed my father-in-law." May I ask my father-in-law's surname?"
The old man said, "The old man's surname is Ji." ”
Zhou Tong said with a smile: "It turned out to be Uncle Ji, I met the villagers in the desert, and I really saw my relatives." In the lower courage to beg for saliva to drink. ”
The old man said, "How many people are there for you?"
Zhou Tong said: "The next person is here." ”
Old Man Ji snorted, as if he didn't believe it, and his cold eyes swept back and forth on his face. Zhou Tong gave him a look of uncertainty, and he could only smile.
One squinted coldly, the other grinned and embarrassed, and froze for a moment. The old man said: "If you want to drink water, go to the gate, don't climb the window!"
Zhou Tong smiled: "Yes, yes!" turned around to the door, pushed the door and walked in. The house is poorly furnished, but the tables and chairs are neat, and the carpet is laid on the floor, and it is clean.
After Zhou Tong sat down, he looked around, only to see a little girl coming out of the back hall, holding a bowl of tea in her hand. The two looked at each other, the girl was taken aback, choked, the tea bowl fell to the ground, and the tea leaves were splashed on the carpet.
Zhou Tongdeng's heart was full of joy. This little girl is the person Dong Tianba has hung a heavy reward to pursue, after he saw the white horse, he had already expected that the girl would be in the house, and suddenly saw it, and he was still so happy that his heart seemed to jump out of his chest.
Last night, there was a strong wind and sand, Li Yue'e fainted on the horse's back, unconscious, the white horse smelled the smell of water and grass, rushed to the wind and sand, and ran to the green grassland. Old man Ji saw that the little girl was dressed as a Han person, so he hurriedly rescued her.
In the middle of the night, Li Yue'e woke up, disappeared her parents, and couldn't stop crying. When the old man Ji saw that she was cute, he couldn't help but feel pity and asked her why she came to the desert and who her parents were.
Li Yue'e said that her father's name was "You Long Wutian", and her mother was her mother, and when she heard that the wicked people who chased them called her "Red Lady" from afar, and some of them were also called "Red Lady with Red Swords", what she was doing when she came back to Xinjiang, but she couldn't say what she was doing.
Old Man Ji muttered: "You Long Wutian, You Long Wutian, that's a thief rampant in the south of the Yangtze River, how did you come back to Xinjiang?"
He gave Li Yue'e a big bowl of cheese to drink and let her sleep. The old man's heart tossed and turned over and over again the past ten years, and his thoughts fluctuated, and he couldn't sleep anymore.
Li Yue'e didn't wake up until the next day, and when she got up, she begged Grandpa Ji to take her to find her parents. At this moment, the two-headed snake Zhou Tong sneakily came over and probed his brain outside the window, all in the eyes of the old man.
As soon as the tea bowl in Li Yue's hand fell, the old man Ji came over. Li Yue'e ran over and threw herself into his arms and shouted, "Grandpa, he'...... He is the wicked man who chases me. ”
Old Man Ji stroked her hair and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." He is not a wicked man. ”。
Li Yue'e said: "Yes, yes. Dozens of them chased us and beat my dad and mom. ”
Old Man Ji thought to himself: "You Long Wutian has no relatives and no reason for me, I don't know what kind of enemy I have formed, I don't have to get involved in this circle." ”
