Chapter 4 Tianhu Cottage
Jiang Li was escorted by two thieves and was brought to the beard by Chen Juncai, who said lightly how Fang Cai killed Lao Li and brought back a child, without taking human life seriously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that only Jiang Li was brought back, the three people with tattooed faces didn't see the old man and didn't care about him, so they said happily as if they had made a great contribution: "Adult, the villain is right, there is indeed a child." ”
"Hmph!" the beard snorted coldly, and the tattooed face shrank his brain, not daring to make another sound.
Seeing that Jiang Li's mouth was a little bloody, and hearing Chen Juncai's praise, his expression was a little dissatisfied.
Chen Juncai was originally annoyed that this tattooed face interjected to ask for credit, but when he saw this look, he seemed to think of something, and was indifferent.
"Hmph, Chen Juncai, do you still know why you came here tonight!" the bearded beard widened his eyes and glared at Chen Juncai.
When Chen Juncai heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, quickly kowtowed, and muttered in his mouth: "The little one should be damned!" It's just because the old man wants to run away that the little one killed him in a hurry, and the little one is also thinking about completing the task!
The beard beckoned, Chen Juncai walked up to the beard, and the beard whispered: "Since you have done it, why not just do it, if this kid is favored by that one, do you and I still have a good life!"
The beard thought in his heart, if this kid gains power, he will inevitably find someone to seek revenge, and now that this beam has been formed, it is better to simply cut the grass and eradicate the roots to get rid of future troubles.
Chen Juncai heard the words of Luo Beard, and understood in his heart that Luo Beard wanted him to kill the child without doing anything, anyway, when he went back, he said that he only found two children, but the other brothers needed to do a little bit of money, but it cost a lot of money, it was better than calling the head to know about it.
Thinking of this, Chen Juncai blamed himself for killing too much just now and shooting too fast.
With a decision in his heart, Chen Juncai gritted his teeth, stood up suddenly, held the big knife, and glared at Li Yue, which means that you Li Yue slashed first, and you can't get rid of it, and you have to get a share of this money!
When Jiang Li saw such a scene, he knew that this Chen Juncai was going to attack him, but he was caught by two thieves, but there was nothing he could do, did he have to die here?
At this time, he saw two fires fluttering on the road, and the horse's hooves were hurrying, and Chen Juncai was hesitating, and three people had already ridden their horses.
The two riders on the left and right hold torches and guard one in the middle.
I saw that the middle-aged man in the lead was forty years old, riding a tall horse, wearing a white silk shirt, a long sword hanging obliquely from his waist, long flowing hair, a pair of deep handsome eyes, a face as warm as jade, and a majestic figure.
The victims looked at the middle-aged man like this, but there was a bit of the chivalrous style of the rivers and lakes, and they thought to themselves, if God opened his eyes, he might be able to escape by sending this person to rescue.
It was Jiang Li who saw this person, like he was in high spirits in a dream, could it be that he was really a chivalrous and righteous knight?
"Third brother, the other brothers have all returned to the mountain, and they have all gained, why are you still delaying?"
But as soon as this man opened his mouth, he extinguished the glimmer of hope that had arisen in everyone.
This person is called the third brother of the beard, and he is also the leader of the bandits, Jiang is cool, and he feels more and more that it will never work to hope for others, and he still needs to rely on himself after all.
"Second brother, my place is far away, and it is not unusual to be late for a while or three. Luo Hu replied lightly, he didn't mention Jiang Li in front of the two masters, and he couldn't kill him, I just hoped that this kid wouldn't be taken by that one.
"In this case, the third brother has also gained some here, so let's go back to the mountain quickly. ”
The middle-aged man glanced at it and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he took everyone back home.
Chen Juncai saw that the middle-aged man was present, and he didn't mention the matter with his beard, so he couldn't do it himself, so he said in his heart: "If this kid is not taken by that person, he will not fall into his own hands in the future, and he will not be able to make any big waves as a child of more than ten years old." ”
The victims were trapped by a long rope with their hands, lined up, and were escorted by the bandits to a certain place, and the slower ones walked, the bandits came up and added their fists and feet.
But the one with the child, the thief was quite polite, and he didn't tie his hands and feet, but he was all around, but he had no chance to escape.
Everyone walked for about half an hour, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and they didn't know where this cottage was located, they suddenly heard the sound of people, turned a valley, but saw a brightly lit house, above the gatehouse, hung a plaque, "Tianhu Village" three big characters dragon flying phoenix dance engraved on it.
There were also people on duty on the gatehouses on both sides, and when they saw someone returning, they knew that it was their own brother, and they opened the gate.
Before everyone arrived at the village, someone came out from the inside, and the roundness of life came, with a smile on his face, but he didn't look like a thief, but he looked like a few people in charge.
"What's in charge, arrange these people to go down, stay for a few days, catch some people back, and wait for that one to get out of the customs, and then send them together." The beard commanded.
"The subordinates understand. Steward He replied with a smile.
After saying that, he and the middle-aged man left first.
He bowed and looked respectful.
When the people were far away, He Guan turned around, but there was no smile on his face, but instead there was a fierce look, and he ordered: "Take these people down!"
Everyone was taken to the cottage by the thieves, and passed through the archway to a wide square, all paved with blue and white stone slabs, and weapon racks were neatly placed on both sides, and some knives, guns and clubs were placed on them.
The square goes up a few steps, there is a large hall at the end of the steps, Zhang Li glanced at it from afar, the plaque on the gate is "Tianhu Hall" three big characters, this place must be the place where the thieves gather to discuss on weekdays.
Before everyone arrived in front of the square, a few people came from the left, wearing gray linen clothes, with gloomy expressions, looking at the more than ten victims who were being escorted, sighing slightly and shaking their heads, taking the reins in their hands, ready to lead the horses away.
Chen Juncai saw the movement of these people shaking their heads slightly, and suddenly raised the leather whip in his hand, and fell on several people fiercely, and there were a few screams, Chen Juncai shouted: "Take care of the horses, otherwise you will be optimistic!"
This scene fell in the eyes of more than ten victims, and their faces turned pale in an instant, how could they not know that these people were probably captured as coolies, and they were destined to live like this, thinking of this, they were silent, quite a bit of a lamb to be slaughtered.
Chen Juncai looked at the more than ten victims, among them was a woman, who looked to be in her thirties, although she was unkempt, her body was plump, and her appearance should not be bad.
This Chen Juncai had an obscene smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Bring these people over, this lady has to entertain well, hahaha......"
Several thieves stepped forward and grabbed the woman, and the woman also saw what Chen Juncai meant, and immediately cried, hugging the middle-aged man beside him, frightened, the middle-aged man hugged the woman, and said loudly: "What are you going to do, don't touch my lady!"
The thieves didn't pay attention, and when they went up, they punched and kicked the middle-aged man, and after a while, the middle-aged man fell to the ground, and his mouth was still muttering: "You group of people who kill a thousand knives, let my lady go......."
"Xianggong! Xianggong!" Woo woo woo...... The woman was pulled by the bandits, unable to move, crying and shouting.
"Hmph! There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door in hell, so you go in, someone comes, and throws him out. Chen Juncai said contemptuously, glanced at more than ten victims, and everyone who was watching lowered their heads, not daring to anger Chen Juncai.
Chen Juncai was very proud when he saw this scene, he begged for mercy in front of his beard before, and felt that he had lost face on his face, and this time he turned around, and he was all angry at the victims.
The two thieves really dragged the middle-aged man out, even if the woman cried heartbreakingly, she was indifferent, but the thieves next to her were watching a play, laughing from time to time.
Jiang Li clenched his fists with both hands, gritted his teeth, remembering that Lao Li was killed by this Chen Juncai, he held back a wave of anger in his chest, but he couldn't attack, he only looked at Chen Juncai fiercely, and swore in his heart that if he survived this catastrophe, he would definitely kill this beast.
Everyone was arranged, Jiang Li and the other two children were taken to the right, but there were several rows of houses, and it turned out that the human voice came from here.
The bandits gathered in groups of three or five to form a table, drank wine in large bowls, and ate meat.
There are also a few handful-looking maids in their twenties, and the thieves touch a few handfuls on the maids from time to time, and the maids have a sad face, and they don't dare to dodge, standing next to them to pour wine for them, thinking that they should be the women who have been robbed up the mountain.
Jiang Li was taken to a courtyard guarded by two thieves, and they took Jiang Li to a room where a wooden bucket was placed, the water was full and steaming, and two women were already waiting here, seeing that Jiang Li was brought in, and that they were going up to remove his clothes.
When the Jiang family was still alive, Jiang Li, as the young master of the Jiang family, was treated like this every day, but it was still young, and he didn't feel it, and now he has been living in the rivers and lakes for several years, getting older, facing the two women naked, but he was Geng Jie in his heart, and repeatedly insisted, asking the two to turn around, take off their clothes by themselves, and jump into the barrel.
"Comfortable. ”
Jiang Li hadn't taken a bath like this for a long time since he had fallen into exile, and he closed his eyes and enjoyed this moment of peace.
As if remembering something, Jiang Li suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the jade pendant on his chest in his hand, but found that the jade pendant was no different from the past, but he clearly remembered that when the temple was broken, the jade pendant was stained with a lot of blood, even if it fell into this water, it would never be so clean.
Jiang Li was thinking about it, two women came to bathe him, Jiang Li hid his body in the water, only revealing his head, thinking that he had fallen into the hands of the thief, and now he could not escape, and looking at the meaning of the thief, it seems that there is a great figure behind this cottage, that is, the person wants to find some more than ten years old children to go up the mountain, so there is no good intention.
It's just to see the thief act, and before he sees that person, he will not be in danger for a while, and now he has to take advantage of this to protect himself.
Thinking about the joint, Jiang Li took the opportunity to ask the two women for some news, these two people were also hard people who were robbed up the mountain, heard Jiang Li ask, the two looked at each other, and one of them walked to the door, as if he wanted to check if there was anyone outside, and after listening attentively for a while, no one was expected to listen, so he whispered what he knew.
