Du Shenfei, Duan Hanyan, and Niu Lixian walked off the boat, along the sandy and gravel path by the river, and went around to the front of the hotel, which was originally called "Zuiyun Building". The three www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion entered the store and sat on a clean seat.

Duan Hanyan called the bartender and said, "Little second brother, come with five mud-baked chickens and three pots of osmanthus wine." ”

Xiao Er happily agreed, and was about to run to the kitchen to order.

Du Shenfei said again: "Little second brother! Wait! Please explain the kitchen again and prepare a meal for one hundred and fifty people." ”

The shopkeeper went happily.

Soon, the dish was served, and the chicken was torn into pieces and filled in three large pots. It turns out that they are all made in advance, and they are sold just waiting for customers to come. The wine is also very fragrant.

The calf quickly devoured a plate of chicken, and drank a pot of wine in two or three sips. Du Shenfei and Duan Hanyan only ate a few bites. Suddenly, Wang De ran into the "Drunken Cloud Building" drenched in water, fell to the ground, and shouted something intermittently, while pointing outward in a panic.

Du Shenfei, Duan Hanyan, and Niu Lixian couldn't hear what he was talking about at all? Seeing him covered in water, they were already a little surprised, how could someone as old and serious as Wang Deba accidentally fall into the water?

Du Shenfei walked over, gently patted Wang Deba's shoulder, and said slowly: "Mr. Wang, don't worry, speak slowly!"

Wang Deba took seven or eight breaths, and finally reluctantly calmed himself down, and said: "Three young heroes, on our boat, many strange people suddenly appeared from the water, climbed onto the boat, and arrested all our people. ”

Du Shenfei was shocked: "What did you say? Where did the weirdo come from?"

Wang Deba cried loudly and stammered, "Yes...... It's from the river...... scurry,"

Du Shenfei said: "From the river?"

Wang Deba said: "Right...... It's ......"

Du Shenfei asked again: "Where did these strange people take our people?"

Wang Deba's whole body was trembling, obviously greatly frightened, and said, "I...... I don't know where I'm going...... They are...... It was taken from the river. ”

Du Shenfei and Duan Hanyan were both very surprised.

Du Shenfei asked, "How did you escape?"

Wang Deba is still crying, it must be an ordinary fright to scare a man in his forties like this. Wang Deba said: "Thanks to my good water nature, they dragged me into the water, and I broke free and escaped." ”

Du Shenfei immediately rushed out of the "Drunken Cloud Tower", and jumped to the riverside from the side of the dirt road. Duan Hanyan also arrived later. But the calf ran down the gravel road with an axe.

I saw that in the river, there were several strong men on the boat, some of whom had already climbed onto the boat from the water, and some of them might have been so frightened that their heads were dizzy, and they couldn't climb up no matter how they climbed, and they fell down again as soon as they climbed up. Du Shenfei and Duan Hanyan took their hands and mentioned them all on the deck. Of the more than 100 people who were alive and well, including Wang Deba, there were now only seventy or eighty, and they all collapsed on the ship's board.

Du Shenfei thought of the silver, and when he immediately came to the bottom cabin to look, he was so surprised that he was dumbfounded, the tens of thousands of taels of silver, even the box was gone. What kind of person can move such a big, heavy, and so many boxes in an instant?

Du Shenfei looked at it, and said to Duan Hanyan and the calf first: "Two brothers, now that the incident happened suddenly, we will act separately, the calf will guard the boat here, and I will chase south along the riverbank, Xiao Duan, you can go north to take a look." ”

Duan Hanyan said: "Okay! Without further ado, let's go!"

The two jumped out of the boat and split up in pursuit.

Du Shenfei chased more than ten miles to the south, but there was no trace, and he didn't see any traces of water on the riverbank, so he thought: "This group of people, it must be some bandit or water bandit, swimming in the water, must not be as fast as me on the shore, and turn around and go back to see." ”

Du Shenfei returned to the side of the boat and saw the calf standing on the boat with an axe. The calf asked first, "Big brother, look all the way, is there any trace?"

Du Shenfei said: "Brother, there is no trace, has Xiaoduan ever come back?"

The calf said first: "I haven't come back yet." ”

Du Shenfei immediately came north, as fast as a dragon out of the water, a tiger coming down the mountain, flashing. About five or six miles to the north, I saw a flood on the shore, and a large number of huge barefoot footprints leading to the mountain.

Du Shenfei said happily: "Okay! As long as there is a trace, not a ghost, I can find you." ”

Du Shenfei followed the water trail all the way, crossed a small earthen bag, walked through a floating golden paddy field, and walked through a few piles of rocks, only to see a mountain road in the distance, leading to a mountain top, and the trees on the mountain were stuck straight on the ground like chopsticks.

Du Shenfei immediately rushed towards this hill, and a gust of wind went straight from the sheep's intestine path on the hillside to the top of the mountain. But there was no trace of water on the road, presumably because they had gone too far, and the water on those people had already dried up.

I saw that between the cols opposite, a large piece of gravel covered the entire col.

A bunch of people were gathered together, presumably counting the silver they had just taken.

Du Shenfei didn't care whether there was a road or not, he jumped and took it away, approached the group of people, and hid behind a huge stone to see. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of clothes fluttering behind him. Du Shenfei suddenly pulled out his knife, his body turned, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Duan Hanyan.

Du Shenfei asked, "Xiao Duan, what did you see?"

Duan Hanyan said: "I didn't see it clearly, but I saw it from a distance, and the group seemed to have entered a cave in the back. When I went to the entrance of the cave, it turned out to be a mine, and it looked like a silver pit. ”

Du Shenfei said: "You come to see what these people are doing together?"

Both of them were lying on their stomachs behind the rocks and looking down.

I saw that the men tied two people who were tied like rice dumplings to a wooden pillar, and placed the wooden pillar under a wooden frame that had been erected in advance, and slowly hung it from above, and the wooden pillar stood in the middle of the wooden frame, and a large pile of dry firewood was piled up below.

A man spat at the two hanging people, and scolded loudly: "You two sluts, you don't know what to do, I told you to run away, burn you here today, refine it into oil, and your soul will be beaten under the Nine Shadows, and you will never be able to turn over, so as to set an example." Today next year is the death day you are waiting for. Don't blame me for killing you, only blame yourself for being cheap. ”

With that, the man was holding a straw handle and was lighting a fire, as if he was about to light a fire underneath.

Du Shenfei saw it, and said to Duan Hanyan: "Xiao Duan, this group of people, I don't know who the two of you want to burn here? You wait here, I'll save him." ”

Duan Hanyan said: "Brother Du, what about our own people and silver? ”

Du Shenfei said: "Brother, don't worry, our people must be saved." It's just that these two people in front of me are in danger, their lives are hanging by a thread, and if I don't save his life, I can't bear it, so I will save them first. ”

Duan Hanyan said: "Okay, then you go and go back quickly, I'll answer here." ”
