Chapter 35: The Suffering of the Dead
Qiu Gui has been a little unlucky lately.
Qiu Gui turned over the wall of Widow Li, but the widow's hair was not touched, so she was seen by the neighbors and ran away after being beaten twice. But what made him distressed was that he lost a shoe. It was a new shoe that had only been worn for two days after stealing it.
Seeing that the little granddaughter of the scarred family in the mill at the entrance of the village was unattended, Qiu Gui moved his mind. If he abducted and sold it to a brothel in a green house, he would not be able to harvest it for five taels of silver! Who knew that the sugar balls he bought for two pennies were all used to eat milk, and the little girl who had just been coaxed walked to the entrance of the village, and was stunned to meet the girl's second uncle.
I heard that the second uncle only came once in half a year, and he was met by Qiu Gui. Fortunately, he thought he was clever and ran away early. But I really lost the two eldest sons, so it's better to have two cooking cakes to fill my stomach!
With this thought, Juguiton felt as uncomfortable as if his stomach was on fire. Damn! Most of the day's water and rice have no teeth, and grandpa is starving to death. He muttered in his mouth, tightened his belt fiercely, blinked a pair of triangular eyes, mixed with jealousy, and secretly glanced at the three people not far away.
These three people are holding real guys in their hands, all of them are ruthless ancestors, and getting closer to them makes people feel breathless.
Who let himself be unlucky! After running far away, he was not afraid that the girl's second uncle would chase after him, but he didn't expect to meet these masters halfway, and he would cut them without saying a word.
There's no royal law!
Fortunately, Qiu Guitou saw the opportunity quickly! The scalp was broken, there was an eighty-year-old mother on it, and there were children waiting to be fed, and tears accompanied the snot, and he said it several times.
These people were still blinded by their own words. Thinking of this, Qiu Gui was secretly proud.
But these strongmen let him in. Qiu Gui knew that he had entered the wolf's den. He was not angry, and then he thought about it. In the future, he will be regarded as a person with a mountain.
In the future, I will climb the wall of the widow's house to see who the hell dares to beat me, grandpa is a man with a mountain! Maybe Widow Li will open the door and invite herself in! Thinking of this, Qiu Gui's eyes appeared in front of Widow Li's fruitful shaking before and after, hehe! Imagining the feeling of fat hands, his saliva dripped down the old man.
"Oops——!" Qiu Guichang took a long breath of cold air and covered his cheeks.
"Silence! Fuck it!" a black-faced man scolded a few feet away, his eyes glaring like cow's eggs.
Qiu Gui was frightened by the other party's fierce expression, shrunk his neck sharply, hid in the grass, and secretly grinned.
Under Qiu Gui's right cheek, there is a mole, and a few black hairs are old on it, and when there is nothing to do, he likes to twist it with his hands.
The old scholars in the school love to twist their beards. Qiu Gui considers himself to be a knowledgeable person. He only thought about the widow, and unconsciously exerted the force at hand, but there was no fat in his hand, only a black hair that was torn off.
Qiu Gui couldn't help but curse secretly, reluctantly threw away the black hair in his hand, quietly stretched out the neck of the chicken, and glanced at the three ancestors.
The three men, armed with steel knives, hid under the bushes not far from the roadside like three night cats. The leading man is called Zheng Da, with a black face and bull's eyes, and a short temper. Qiu Gui is most afraid of him.
There are two more, one called Monkey and the other called Big Eye. As the name suggests, a person who is as thin as a monkey is naturally a monkey, with a treacherous temperament and lustful temperament, and a pair of peach blossom eyes make Qiu Gui dare not look at it. The big-eyed eyes are very big, like a hanged ghost, with many white eyes and few black eyes, and there is yin qi when speaking, which makes people want to shiver all the time.
Listening to Zheng Da, they were originally from Heifeng Village, but now they are working alone. partnered with these three masters, Qiu Gui just wanted to cry, only to know how kind he was yesterday compared to them.
"The God of Wealth has come to the door—" Qiu Gui was lamenting the misery of life in the grass when he suddenly heard the voice of a monkey, and he trembled all over, and wanted to run away and drill into the soil.
Just as he was panicking, a figure came to him. Before Qiu Gui could react, a pair of big hands grabbed his neck.
Qiu Gui looked up and said hurriedly: "Uh...... Ahem...... Stop, big brother!"
"What the hell do you want to slip away?" Zheng Da's voice was low but full of chill.
"No...... No, how dare you, brother! Aren't you looking for a guy!" Qiu Gui rolled his eyes, lowered his head and felt for a stone, held it in his hand, and said with a smirk.
"Hmph——!" Zheng Da let go of Qiu Gui and stared at the intersection with a pair of bull's eyes bloodthirsty.
......
A horse-drawn carriage with a canopy appeared in front of several people.
The chauffeur drove the carriage himself, oblivious to the crisis on the side of the road. Inside the car sat a young couple. The man is dressed in white and looks like a scholar. The woman was still holding a baby under the age of one in her arms.
"Husband, can you get home when it gets dark?" said the young lady, patting the sleeping baby in her arms, and whispered to the man.
The man's eyes were full of love, and he said gently: "I have walked most of this hundred miles, and I will reach the balance before dark." Madame, rest assured!"
"Well, that's what the husband said!" the lady raised her fair and beautiful face and smiled at the man.
A neighing of horses suddenly sounded, and the carriage came to a halt. The couple in the car panicked and busily protected the baby. In front of the car, there was a shout from the driver of the car: "There is a young shopkeeper, there is a robbery!"
"Husband——!" The woman's face was full of horror and grabbed the man's arm.
The man reached out and picked up a long sword, forced his composure, patted the back of the woman's hand, and said, "Don't panic, madam! With that, he stepped out of the carriage.
Outside the carriage, the guy who was driving the car was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and he was at a loss when he saw the man coming out, and he hurriedly stood side by side with him in front of the car.
The man was as frightened as he was, but he didn't escape alone, and he felt a little relieved.
"Gui, what's wrong?" the man asked in a low voice.
"Look, young shopkeeper—" The guy named Ah Gui reached out and pointed forward.
There were two people standing in front of the car, one stout and dark, holding a steel knife, and his face was fierce. One has a lewd face, a thin build, and holds a stone in his hand. It's just that his legs are shaking for some reason, and a few black hairs on his face are very piercing.
"If you want to die, you don't want money, you don't want to die, choose one for grandpa!" Zheng Da played with a steel knife in his hand and said viciously.
In the sun, the knife light is dazzling.
"How is it good?" asked Gui. The man who called the young shopkeeper saw that there were only two people, and his expression was slightly fixed, but he couldn't pay attention for a while.
"Hehe, there's still someone in the car, come out!" With a wave of laughter, two more people jumped out of the roadside, flashing directly behind the car, blocking the retreat of the carriage.
Seeing that the front and back of the car were blocked, the two shopkeepers were shocked.
"Husband——!" The lady in the car saw that the opportunity was not good, and walked out of the car with the baby in her arms.
"Madame——!" The young shopkeeper and his men hurriedly surrounded Madame.
"Haha, I'm still a beauty, this money and people, grandpa wants it!" the monkey shouted excitedly, a pair of monkey eyes were unbridled with lewdness, and he couldn't help but look at his wife, looking like a demon in a lust. Big Eyes was silent on the side, as if looking at a dead person, staring gloomily at the three of them.
The young shopkeeper complained bitterly. I know that this road was not very peaceful in the early years, but it has been much better in recent years. I wanted to be quick with the carriage, and it should be no big problem to hurry during the day, plus I have practiced fist and foot kung fu for several years, and one or two thieves are not a problem. But the four people in front of them, with tacit understanding, are obviously in the posture of an old thief, lest they make a mistake and hurt their wife and children.
"Fight for them,——!" the guy named Agui clenched the wooden stick in his hand, biting his lip and whispering.
The young shopkeeper settled his mind for a moment, glanced at the lady and the baby, and knew that the great disaster was coming, and there was only one fight. He showed a resolute expression, stepped forward with his sword, and shouted angrily: "If you want to die, come and get it!"
The woman's face was pale, and her body trembled.
Seeing the young shopkeeper's desperate posture, Qiu Gui couldn't help but take a step back, and the stone in his hand was almost thrown away. Heart Dao, Lao Tzu is the mother's back, with these ancestors, learn this cutting path business, encounter more people dare not show their heads, few people are the mountain people near the left, poorer than themselves, so that there is no business for a few days. Today, I finally encountered a big business that seems to be not small, but people have to work hard. This bowl of rice is not for people to eat, not because I am afraid that Zheng Da will stab his head, and his mother will run away a long time ago.
Zheng Da saw the appearance of the shopkeeper holding a sword, and the bull's eyes showed ridicule. Its dark skin glowed with excitement and a cruel smile.
Shaking the steel knife in his hand, Zheng shouted, "Okay! Grandpa will cut off your little white-faced head!"
The shopkeeper saw that the other party was fierce and powerful, but he had no way to retreat, and he took a wrong step and stabbed the opponent in the chest with his sword.
The steel knife in Zheng Da's hand was withdrawn halfway and slammed into the sword body, not wanting to fight for both sides. The shopkeeper didn't dare to collide with the steel knife, and after the tip of the sword shook a sword flower stab, he wanted to change his moves.
Zheng Da didn't expect that this white-faced scholar would really be able to do two hits, and the sword in his hand was not an ornament. He was ruthless in his heart, and the steel knife swept away along the sword momentum of the young shopkeeper, wanting to stop the waist and split the other party in two.
The wrist of the shopkeeper turned sharply, and the long sword wanted to stab back.
Behind him, there was a baby's cry and the lady's scream. The young shopkeeper couldn't help but look back in a hurry, and saw the robber who looked like a monkey, with a lewd smile on his face, pulling the baby in his wife's arms. The lady held the child tightly and did not let go, and the child was awakened and cried. Another robber was slashing at Ah Gui with a knife, and Ah Gui wielded a wooden stick up and down to resist in embarrassment, and in a blink of an eye, the wooden stick was split into two pieces.
The young shopkeeper was horrified, and his body retreated sharply to save him. And the steel knife in front of him was already in front of his chest, and he was forced to be helpless, and the long sword retreated to block his chest.
There was a bang, and the long sword was instantly broken in two. And the opponent's knife was unabated, with the sound of the wind across his waist, the young shopkeeper snorted miserably, fell backwards, the front of the white robe burst out of a blood red, and the chest and abdomen had been cut by the tip of the knife A long bloody wound.
"Haha, little white face, your three-legged cat's kung fu is really unsightly!"
Zheng Da waved the steel knife and shook off a string of blood beads. With a murderous sneer on the corner of his mouth, he said triumphantly.
Ah Gui hurriedly abandoned the wooden stick and picked up the young shopkeeper, and the robbers did not stop him when he saw this.
The woman cried and cried to pounce, but the monkey's steel knife was held to her neck and she could not move.
Just when the young shopkeeper's family was in great trouble, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded: "Murderers and robbers, damn it!"
