Chapter 14: The Bandits of the Snow Mountains
A short, squirky-eyed man followed Luo Yin all the way into the inn, and after confirming which room he was staying in, he also turned around and entered another room.
The short man closed the door tightly and saw a stout man lying on the bed snoring. He stepped forward, slapped the man a few times, and shouted, "Get up, don't sleep, there's business coming to the door!"
The man opened his eyes and shouted, "What kind of business? Where did this business come from! Don't bother to sleep with two taels of gold, otherwise be careful that you don't recognize people with a big fist in a casserole!"
The thief-eyed two taels of gold smiled and said: "Don't be angry, Master Meng, I've already looked for a fat sheep, why isn't it a business?"
The fierce man sat up and said angrily, "Don't fool me. This ghost weather caused these medicinal herb merchants to shrink into the inn one by one and not go out, and the Sprinkle family couldn't find a chance to start if they wanted to, how could anyone be stupid enough to go out in this ice and snow now?"
Erliangjin said with a smile: "Little brother, when I was wandering around the town today, I saw a scholar buying goods, and he was quite generous. ”
"Oh, go on, what did he buy. As soon as this fierce master heard the introduction of two taels of gold, he suddenly became interested.
He bought a whole set of clothes, shoes, and hats made of fine leather, which cost him more than twelve taels of silver. This scholar is willing to buy such an expensive skin, and he must have a lot of money on him. ”
"It's just a dozen taels of silver, it's worth making such a fuss about, and after a long time to find a single merchant to slaughter, dozens of hundreds of taels are no longer a problem. The fierce master said disdainfully.
Erliang Jin hurriedly said: "The skin of a dozen taels of silver naturally does not enter the eyes of the fierce master, but when he paid, I found the silver hidden in the back basket, not to mention that there must be a look of thirty or forty taels." Although this scholar is cautious, how can he escape my two taels of gold. ”
Hearing this, Meng Ye's heart moved, and said: "Thirty or forty taels of silver, although it is not much, it is worth a vote." In the past few months, in addition to slaughtering a few herbs and getting some herbs that are not worth a few dollars, I haven't encountered much big business, so I took this kid to open meat. Why don't we do it tonight?"
Erliangjin waved his hand and said, "It's too eye-catching to do it in this inn, so you have to find another place to start." I saw that he had bought a lot of tools needed to enter the snowy mountains, and I was afraid that he wanted to go into the mountains. Why don't we sneak up with him and do him in the mountains, and throw his body into the snow, who will find it?"
Meng Ye clapped his hands and said, "Good idea, just do it." This kind of thing is the best at the sprinkle family, as soon as the person is killed and thrown into the mountain, the bones are fed to the beasts, and there is no trace of it. Hmph, at this time, the person who enters the mountain is to die by himself, so we will do good deeds to fulfill him. ”
The two taels of gold said: "The fierce master continues to rest, I will go outside to keep an eye on him, once he sets off into the mountain, we will follow, find a time to end him, and it is not in vain that we have waited for a long time in this place where birds don't." ”
After that, the two taels of gold left the room, came to the lobby and sat down, staring at Luo Yin's room, for fear of letting the fat sheep go.
On the second day, Luo Yin got up early in the morning, put on his newly bought leather clothes, shoes and hats, sorted out the items needed to enter the mountain, and went downstairs. After eating a good meal in the lobby downstairs, I bought enough dry food for more than ten days. After carefully packing his bags, he left the inn and walked out of the town to the snow-capped mountains to the east.
Behind him, two figures followed him sneakily from a distance, and slowly walked towards the mountain.
Walking until noon, he had arrived at the foot of Hengduan Mountain, Luo Yin sat down to rest for a while, and when he was eating and drinking to replenish his strength, he saw two figures coming from the direction of him walking towards him.
He wondered for a while, he had to go into the mountains to take risks under this ghost weather, how could there be someone like him?
Secretly vigilant in his heart, he no longer rested, and hurriedly got up and walked towards the mountain. At this time, whether the people who come at this time are passing by or have malicious intentions, there is no need for them to contact them.
I climbed all the way up the mountain, climbed for a while, and when I looked back, I saw that the two figures behind me were getting closer and closer. I secretly said in my heart, I have already walked fast, but they are chasing me faster than me, and there is a good chance that they have bad intentions.
At this time, I heard someone behind me shouting: "Little brother in front, wait for us, we are also going to enter the mountain, why don't we go together?"
Luo Yin sneered in his heart, this barren mountain and wilderness, with people he doesn't know, this is quite a risky thing, and if he is not careful, he will die on the mountain, and he is not willing to take this risk.
Besides, I have traveled thousands of miles by myself for a long time, and I don't need to travel with others at all.
Thinking in his heart, he quickened his pace, and after a while, he saw the sound of footsteps behind him hurrying, and when he looked back, the two of them were walking fast towards him on this mountain road. Up to now, if it is not certain that these two people have bad intentions, then Luo Yin has lived in vain all these years.
Without further ado, he took out his maximum speed and climbed up the mountain. He didn't know who these two people were, and what they were doing, so there was really no need to risk fighting them.
And with his own unpopular martial arts, if there is a third-rate expert among these two, he can easily take his own life. Therefore, it is the best policy to flee directly, and there is really no need to gamble their lives with their own lives.
Luo Yin took out his maximum speed, and gradually distanced himself from the two people behind him, and slowly the whole person disappeared in the eyes of the two.
The two people who followed him all the way were sitting in the snow at this time, panting for breath, it was the fierce master and the two taels of gold.
At this time, the fierce master scolded: "This little rabbit cub is very fine, and he runs like a rabbit in this snow." ”
Erliangjin echoed: "Is it that we have revealed a flaw somewhere, why he didn't listen to us at all, and he ran away without saying anything." Master Meng, let's go back, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it. ”
Meng Ye sneered: "Don't do it? How can it be! This little rabbit cub has been running in the snow with the Sprinkle family for most of the day, and it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart if I don't break him into pieces." We continued to chase, but the Sprinkle family didn't believe that he could keep running like this. We followed all the way, and when he rested at night, we sneaked up and killed him. ”
Erliang Jin was a little afraid of this fierce man, and when he heard him decide, he had to nod his head and say yes. The two rested for a while, then got up and followed the footprints in the snow.
It's getting late, and night is falling.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Luo Yin found a sheltered place to rest, otherwise it would be too dangerous to travel this night.
He found some dead branches around and lit a bonfire to survive the cold night.
While roasting dry steamed buns, I thought of the two people I met in the morning. He quickened his pace all the way to the mountain, and gradually got rid of them, and after noon they were no longer seen, and they must have given up at this time.
By the time they had eaten, it was completely dark, and only a little campfire came out of the whole mountain.
He immediately built a simple bed out of the clothes he had brought with him, and slept with his clothes closed. There is still a long way to go tomorrow, so you need to rest early to recuperate.
At night, when he was sleeping soundly, a sudden rustling sound woke Luo Yin up from his sleep. He grabbed the basket, pulled out the knife in the basket, and hid behind a large rock beside him. The bunk on the floor was curled up as if there was another man sleeping soundly on the ground.
I could only hear the rustling sound getting closer, like the sound of something stepping on the snow quilt as it walked in the snow. Luo Yin held the hilt of the knife tightly, and thought to himself, could it be that the beasts in the mountains are coming?
After a while, I only heard a small voice not far away, "Master Meng, is this kid still asleep there?"
"This kid has been chasing him in the snow for a day, and he is cold and hungry, and the Sprinkler family will cut off his hands and feet, and throw him in the snow to watch him wait for death, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" replied in a deep voice.
I saw two figures slowly approaching, one was a tall man, and the other was a short man.
I saw that the big man drew a knife, and rushed up to cut the lower half of the quilt curled on the ground, intending to cut off the legs of the people on the ground as he had just said.
The knife slashed into the soft bed, without the slightest obstruction, and the big man with the knife instantly felt that something was wrong, and slashed a few more times, cutting the rolled up clothes on the ground into rags.
"Nobody, where is this kid hiding?" shouted the thief-eyed Erliangjin.
"Come out, I know you're hiding around, do you think it's over if you run away today?" The Sprinkle family will follow you all the way until you cut off your limbs, and watch you wail in the snow and wait for death!" the fierce man sneered.
As soon as Luo Yin heard this, he knew that he couldn't be good, otherwise he would have to avoid it with fear along the way, and if he was not careful, he would ruin their poisonous hands.
Hiding his hand holding the dagger behind his back, he stepped out from behind the boulder next to him, and saw the faces of the two people in front of him clearly through the dim charcoal fire on the ground that had not yet been completely extinguished.
The big man had never seen it before, but the obscene little man next to him had some impressions, and he had seen it in the clothes shop yesterday.
Seeing this person, Luo Yin instantly understood the cause and effect, it must have been when he was buying leather goods in the shop, and this person saw the hidden goods, so he chased and killed all the way.
sighed in his heart, his wealth was not exposed, and he was still too careless.
"We have no grievances, why are you chasing me all the way. Luo Yin asked hypocritically.
"Hmph, boy, who said that we have no grievances, you stole our silver, isn't this a grudge? Hurry up and hand over the silver, we can still spare you a way to live, otherwise the Sprinkle family will make your life worse than death!"
When Luo Yin heard this, he was stunned directly, this is too shameless, robbery is robbery, and he has to say that the victim stole his silver. Then he said coldly: "If you want to rob and kill, just say it, don't do these things." ”
Seeing that this little scholar didn't have much fear, the fierce master muttered a little in his heart, could it be that he had met an iron plate? But when he thought of those white flowers, he threw this idea behind him in a blink of an eye, and what ability could this scholar's thin body have.
"As long as you hand over the silver, I will ......" When the fierce master said this, suddenly a flash of sword light slashed towards Luo Yin. “...... Let you die a little faster!"
Before the words fell, the knife had already arrived in front of Luo Yin.
