Volume 1 Mo Ascending Chapter 26 The Bandits in the Night
It was getting late, and the oil lamps were lit in the inn.
Zhou Ziheng personally urged the innkeeper to bury the two bodies, and then returned to the inn.
There are only four rooms on the second floor of the inn, and the two people who have not rested for a few days in a row have not thought too much, so they each found a room and went to bed early.
The fat innkeeper saw that there was no other movement in the inn, so he dared to sneakily run to the front of the inn, broke into the direction of the counter in the dark, and found the silver coin hidden in the dark.
"Don't bother me, everyone. The innkeeper clasped his palms together on his chest, and his mouth kept on and on his lips.
I don't know if it was for the two buried souls, or for the two evil gods upstairs.
I think it must be a ghost, because the innkeeper immediately said: "You can at least be a companion underground." ”
Before the innkeeper ran away, he didn't forget to lock the door of the inn, in case he couldn't get mixed up outside one day, he could still quietly touch it back and continue to do this harmful money-making business.
By the time the innkeeper had walked a few miles, it was almost the third watch.
In the distance, a group of fires lit up and headed in the direction of the inn. When I got closer, I saw that there were two horsemen at the beginning, followed by about 20 people, all of whom looked fierce and vicious, holding various weapons.
The first to stop the horse was a bald-headed scar-faced man, who was carrying a big knife on his shoulder, he raised the knife in his hand and scolded with a smile: "Damn, what my brother said can make me a lot of money, I have come all the way, and I haven't seen a single figure." Now that I'm at this inn, I don't go out to greet me. ”
Behind Scarface was the shopkeeper, and he hurriedly ran to Scarface's side, with a smile on his face: "Second Master Wu, don't worry, I think even if those few people run away, there are still two people living in the inn, don't you, you wait here for a while, I'll go and see the movement." ”
Wu Scar nodded, but at the same time motioned to the other rider beside him to go along: "You guys go together." ”
"Good. Wu Scar rode on his side, and the man answered, and dismounted.
Xiao Er didn't have a weapon, looked at the locked inn door, crossed his waist with one hand, and shook a few times with the other: "Why is it locked?"
The man in sackcloth behind him, with a beard on his face, and a mace in his hand, he didn't have the patience to wait, he didn't even bother to speak, he pushed Xiao Er away, and smashed the door lock with a stick.
Xiao Er pushed the door and walked into the inn, lit the oil lamp, and looked around.
There was some chaos in the inn, there were some dry and crusted blood stains on the floor, and a few tables were shaky.
Xiao Er's face showed a somewhat serious look, and he hurriedly ran to the back of the counter, and was immediately stunned, looking anxious: "I'm afraid that this is not a thief? The money I worked so hard to save to marry my daughter-in-law is gone." ”
"Yell a fart!" The beard slapped Xiao Er on the back of the head: "What's the matter?"
"The money I saved is gone, and I'm a thief!" Xiao Er looked at his beard with a bitter face.
"We are thieves!" The bearded man kicked Xiao Er again: "The big man's crying and crying, what does it look like." ”
"Boss?" Xiao Er shouted upstairs, and hurriedly shook his head, only then did he sober up, it must have been the boss who took his money and ran away, and others didn't know where his money was hidden.
The bearded man walked outside the inn with Xiao Er and threw him on the ground.
"What's going on inside?" Wu Scar's face trembled, and he pointed a knife at Xiao Er and asked.
Xiao Er shuddered suddenly, and knelt in front of Wu Scar's horse: "Second Master Wu, I'm afraid there is no one in the inn anymore, the boss has also run away, and the money I saved before has also been taken away by the boss!"
"What?" Wu Scar jumped off the horse, spat on it, and scolded viciously: "Holy shit, this brother is too unauthentic, he called so many of our brothers here, but he ate alone, and let the brothers run away in vain." ”
As if a little puzzled, Wu Scar kicked Xiao Er and kicked him to the ground: "thing, don't let me see him, otherwise I will be chopped and fed to the dog." ”
The few men behind him listened to it clearly, and secretly calculated in their hearts that this time it was a waste of work.
But at this moment, a slightly tired voice came from upstairs: "What's the noise?"
"Is there anyone upstairs?" the bearded man turned to look upstairs, and the rest of the men also heard the movement upstairs, and then they cheered up a little more.
These people are not good stubble, they are the biggest thieves on the way out of Jingzhao Mansion and into Guannei Road, leading to Longyou Road.
This official road is just like this, if you don't take the trail, take the avenue, don't pay some money to buy the road, and want to continue to go forward, you have to ask the guy in their hand if he agrees.
Over the years, it is not that the army of the imperial court has come, but their village is in charge, and he is a cattle man, and he can take them to save the day every time.
This Wu Scar is one of the two masters of the cottage, he heard a few characters who seem to be rich children today, so he didn't alarm the others in the village, just took his twenty or thirty good hands, and quietly slipped out of the village.
Everyone can explain the truth that people die for money and birds die for food, so the thieves who came out this time all understand very well, some of them earn, that is, blood earns, and the hundreds of people in the village on the mountain can't be separated, and if they don't make money, they will lose blood, and maybe they will have to catch their fate.
Several of the bandits had already tightened their grip on their weapons, and some of them were eager to rush upstairs. There is also a distinction about who goes upstairs first, and the person who rushes to the front may die the fastest, but if he survives, he will also get the most points.
They only knew how many sons and brothers were coming, and no one knew what the specific characters were.
It's no wonder that Xiao Er's description is problematic, Guo Xiaojiu and Zhou Ziheng in his mouth are completely two rich sons who have just stepped on the rivers and lakes with swords and have no experience in the rivers and lakes, and their lives are absolutely unnecessary, otherwise they will have to live uncomfortably for a long time, but when they rob property, there are not so many rules.
Could it be that when these bigwigs in the family heard about this, they really lowered their faces to find their bad luck? They didn't ask for the lives of these juniors, so they mixed their mouths and used their lives to eat, and what did those people use to reason with them?
In the face of these rich sons who want to break into the rivers and lakes, I have seen a lot of them in the village earlier, and there are also one or two deflated ones, most of them still make a lot of money, how can they not make people greedy.
"Fuck, go upstairs. Wu Scar scolded, and the big knife slammed into the ground at his feet.
Those bandits who had been prepared for a long time crowded into the inn in one go, and the little second was no exception, leaving only a beard and standing beside Wu Scar.
They don't have to take their lives to fight, that's what their subordinates have to do, and afterwards they only take the best one, and they only need one.
The fierce thieves soon lit up the entire second floor of the inn with torches, and the oil lamps in each room were lit, but the owner of the voice from the previous upstairs never appeared.
There were only four inns upstairs, and it was just a while before the bandits were all searched.
The window of a guest room facing Wu Dao Scar was pushed open, and a thief shouted below: "Second master, there is no one upstairs, the bed is still a little hot, it should have just run for a short time." ”
"Yes, yes, the two horses in the backyard are still there, and they can't go far. Xiao Er squeezed out of the crowd very cleverly, poked his head out and shouted.
After all, the money I saved before is gone, so I have to earn it back.
"Then keep searching!" Wu Scar said, reaching out and touching the scar on his face, and then touching his bald head: "How do I feel that something is wrong with this." ”
"I also felt that something was wrong, I had seen signs of a fight in that room, and there was some blood on the ground. The beard approached Wu's side and muttered quietly.
"Are you looking for me?" A big hand slammed on Wu Scar's shoulder, and he was so painful that he didn't even cry out before he was pressed to the ground.
"Huh?" The bearded man turned his head and looked behind Wu Scar suspiciously, just in surprise, before he could take a closer look, a huge force came from his neck, and the whole person collapsed to the ground, already unconscious.
I don't know if it was the bearded voice that alarmed the upstairs, and a few thieves who were still guarding the upstairs poked their heads out and looked down.
"It's not good, second master, it's second master!" I don't know who shouted, and the upstairs suddenly exploded.
Many bandits gathered, Xiao Er saw it in the gap, and immediately stretched out his hand and pointed: "This one with a knife is one of them." ”
The bandits came to their senses and began to run downstairs.
"It's kind of interesting. Guo Xiaojiu stretched out his hand and patted the scabbard, grabbed Wu Scar's bald head with his big hand, and had already reached out to take out the saber and put it on the back of Wu Scar's head, Wu Scar immediately let out a howl like killing a pig.
Zhou Ziheng had already quietly gone to the backyard to pick up the horse, as long as Guo Xiaojiu had solved the previous matter, they would rush at night.
They had heard about the bandits on this road before they came, and it was not a problem to kill so many, but it would be a hornet's nest, so it was more appropriate to hurry up, and they couldn't provoke this group of bandits, otherwise, they would have to deal with hundreds of bandits along the way.
Second Brother Wu, who was pressed to the ground, had a hideous face, his eyes glared at Guo Xiaojiu fiercely, and he wanted to get up several times, but he was pressed back by the blade on his neck.
"You have the ability to kill Lao Tzu, the big boss of our village makes you unable to get out of this official road. Second Brother Wu shouted very loudly, and how loud he shouted, how scared he was in his heart.
"Cut, it's not a matter of killing you, the problem is that I don't have any enmity with you, why should I kill you, I'm not you. Guo Xiaojiu disdainfully patted Second Brother Wu's cheek with the blade of the knife.
Seeing that the bandits downstairs had run out of the inn and gradually gathered around, Second Brother Wu's eyes blinked faster: "Go, go, go to the village to invite the big boss, go and invite the big boss." ”
"Hey, if you can't beat it, you can call someone?" Guo Xiaojiu squinted his eyes and squatted down, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, why did Zhou Ziheng take a horse for so long.
Stretched out his hand to lift Second Brother Wu up, and scolded with a smile: "How long will it take for your men to invite the big boss, the daylilies are cold." ”
At this moment, Zhou Ziheng finally rode a white horse and galloped over, and beside him was the black horse, and there was no one on the horseback. Guo Xiaojiu kicked Second Brother Wu's ass fiercely, and his figure began to retreat quickly, rushing towards the direction where the horse was galloping.
