Chapter 34: Niujia Village (I)
As the sun sets, the sunset spreads from the sky, and when the city gate is closed, a fast horse rides westward, and the flying dust is reflected in the sunset, which looks particularly strange. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Two miles away from Niujia Village, a man dressed in ordinary peasant clothes was walking back to Niujia Village with a large handful of dry firewood on his back.
The sound of the horse approached, and it stopped abruptly beside the farmer, replaced by a young man asking for directions, "This big brother, how to get to Niujia Village?" but Shaoyuan came out of Jianye City.
"It's just two miles away, Lu Shaoxia, and come down with you" The farmer pulled up the turban wrapped around his face, which was the person of the Donglin Gang who was one step ahead an hour ago.
Shao Yuan recognized that it was someone from the Donglin Gang, so he jumped off his horse and looked around, at this time, there was no one in the four fields above the branches above the moonlight. But Shaoyuan still asked cautiously, "How is the situation in Niujia Village?"
The farmer said in a low voice, "Those people have really come here to recruit people, and they have recruited about ten people at the moment, and they will set off to leave Niujia Village early tomorrow morning, so they will ask Lu Shaoxia and the brothers of the gang to sign up early tomorrow morning and blend in." Right now, our people are spying on them"
Shaoyuan nodded, and suddenly asked for no reason, "By the way, who is my partner?"
At this time, it was the turn of that person to be stunned, "Eh, a young disciple in this gang, ah, when the time comes, please take care of Lu Shaoxia and take good care of this young disciple."
Shaoyuan looked surprised, "Ah, didn't you say to find a clever person?"
The farmer nodded, "Yes, he is indeed very clever, but he is still young, and he is estimated to be younger than you Shaoxia, so I really ask Lu Shaoxia to pay more attention when the time comes." If you encounter danger, remember to save your life first, take that disciple and run first, remember to remember"
Shaoyuan nodded, but he thought in his heart, 'I can understand that Big Brother Gao asked me to save my life, but this person also told me to save my life, and he also asked me to take that one to run, isn't this person from a small background? But he is not small, why would he participate in this mission? It's really strange'
Niujia Village is not very big, but it is also "a sparrow although small". However, Shaoyuan and the others did not choose the inn, but moved to a house in the village.
There are not many people in the small house, and there are only four people in Shaoyuan, and there is no young lady, but there is a young man with clear eyebrows.
"Lu Shaoxia, in Xia Mibang, I will go with you tomorrow to listen to the truth and truth," the young man with clear eyebrows was the first to speak
Shaoyuan also saluted and asked, "Oh, is that young lady missing?"
The farmer man said, "The hall master has something to do, and he has already gone back with the rest of the gang to prepare manpower, I think we should hurry up and change the appearance of Lu Shaoxia."
Mi Bang made a gesture of please, motioning for Shao Yuan to sit down, and Shao Yuan took the opportunity to sit down. Started his own disguise program.
Half an hour later
"It's really seamless, Brother Mi, your craftsmanship is really amazing" Shaoyuan looked at the "self" in the bronze mirror, as if looking at a stranger, and there was no trace of the mask stitching, at first glance, it was a master's handwriting, so he couldn't help but admire.
Mi Bang shook his head slightly, "Carving insect skills, why worry about teeth"
The farmer then said, "Tomorrow, Mi Bang, you will call yourself Lu Shaoxia's brother, the younger brother is called Mi Bang, and the elder brother is called Mi Sheng."
Both nodded "No problem"
"Goo~Goo~" Suddenly there was a protest in the stomach, Mi Bang and the farmer, and the remaining man was not very embarrassed to say, "Lu Shaoxia smiled, he was busy all afternoon, but he forgot dinner, I don't know if Lu Shaoxia has eaten it?"
Shaoyuan smiled and shook his head, "I ate it before I went out of the city, you guys can eat, it just so happens that I just put on this mask, I also want to go out for a walk and get used to it"
Mi Bang said, "If that's the case, I'll eat first, Lu Shaoxia can remember how to come back here?"
Shaoyuan smiled and nodded, and said, "It's not big here, I'll go to the inn to see if there is any good tea and wine, if there is, I'll bring a pot for a few people when I come back, let's go" After that, he pushed the door and left.
Shaoyuan did not go far, but went to the small inn on the edge of the village.
It was already late autumn, and there were few people in the hall of the inn, only Xiao Er, who was yawning, and the shopkeeper who was doing the accounts.
"Xiao Er, do you have any good tea?" Shao Yuan strode into the inn
Xiao Er woke up from his dream and immediately ran over, "There is a good bamboo leaf here, and the guest officer wants a pot?"
"Oh, young man, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sleep when you drink tea at this time?"
"What do you recommend from the shopkeeper?" Shaoyuan was also in a good mood, so he wanted to hear the shopkeeper's opinion
The shopkeeper walked to the wine rack and took down a small jar, "The drunken immortal of Guangling Wangyue Tower, it happens to be the fifteenth full moon again, the beautiful scenery and wine, how about it?"
"Yes, yes, just according to what the shopkeeper said" Shao Yuan nodded
At this time, someone in the guest room on the second floor came out and said, "Shopkeeper, come with two plates of beef and a jar of wine, the brothers are dying of hunger."
The shopkeeper replied, "Okay, wait a minute", turned around and put the drunken fairy on Shaoyuan's table
Shaoyuan glanced at that person, and it was the one who recruited workers, so he asked the shopkeeper in a low voice, "Who are they?
The shopkeeper didn't think much about it, and replied, "Oh, I came from Jiangbei to recruit workers in the past two days, and I have recruited more than a dozen people from the village, so I guess I'll leave tomorrow."
Shaoyuan frowned, and thought about it, so he put down the silver and said to the boss, "Boss, come to another altar, I'll take it back, thank you."
Shaoyuan picked up the wine, walked around the street, went to the back alley, and looked at the houses on both sides. The house here is not high, so Shaoyuan used light skills and tiptoed to the roof of the inn. It turned out that Shaoyuan wanted to eavesdrop on what these people would say in the inn.
The night wind was not strong, Shaoyuan closed his eyes and quietly felt the sound coming from under his feet. Step by step, the closer you get to the general position, the more obvious the sound becomes.
Under the roof, those people were really discussing something.
"Boss, are you going back tomorrow?"
"yes, I'll go back tomorrow, what's wrong?"
"What about the brothers in the city?"
"Well, those nerds in the city, won't they bear it? Isn't it a mistake to do it with others in the middle of the city? Qiangzi, you go on a trip early tomorrow morning, get some money, and redeem a few of them, but remember, I'm not sure if the government will be targeted, so don't go back to the mountains with us, you guys will delay it for a few days, you know?"
"Okay, by the way, now there are estimated to be 300 people in the mountains, do we still need to find more people?"
"I think about it, I don't need it for the time being, after all, it's almost winter, and there are not many people. And this kind of thing, don't take too big steps, otherwise it will not be good to attract attention, this is not Xuzhou there to attract the attention of the Donglin Gang, it is really a bit tricky"
"Oh, by the way, what kind of medicine are the drug heads doing, why don't they let us try it at all? I see those people tried the medicine, and their expressions were so happy."
The leader slapped the man on the head, "Idiot, don't think about this, this thing, once dipped in it, is extremely addictive, but it is extremely difficult to quit"
"Head you have to learn yes, you have to teach yes"
"Why is the wine and meat coming so slowly, the third son is going to urge, starving to death"
Shaoyuan lay on the roof, looking at the bright moon of fifteen, across the roof, although he couldn't hear it completely, but at least he still heard a few key points "leave tomorrow" and "drunk and dream of death"
Shao Yuan frowned, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he was no longer in the mood to appreciate the bright moon in the sky, and this matter was really not trivial, and listening to what he said, that 'drunken life and dream death' seemed to have something extremely terrifying. And I'm afraid that it has spread to the whole territory of Xuzhou, and now it only appears in Jianye, it seems that I have to go back and tell them immediately', said that Shaoyuan made a light effort, jumped to the roof of other houses, and fled.
"Head, did you feel something on the roof just now?"
"Yes, no, Si'er, you don't think that there are people from the Donglin Gang watching us in this village, right?"
"After all, this is the boundary of Yangzhou, the Donglin Gang will not be so arrogant, maybe I am too careful"
