Chapter 5 This Road Is Dead
The reason why Luosha Town is called Luosha Town is not because it is the only place where sand falls. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the north-western part of the country, sand falls everywhere on windy days. Windless days, very rare. So, there is sand falling at any time. There is falling sand everywhere.
The town is called the town because more sand falls here than anywhere else. Much, much more. One of the things that many people who come to Luosha Town must do every day is to sweep the sand. Each man swept the sand in front of his own door.
The reason why there is so much sand falling in Luosha Town is because of the location of Luosha Town.
The location of Luosha Town is exactly in the middle of the two tuyeres. The wind, whether blowing from the south or from the north, passes through the place. As soon as the wind blew to Luosha Town, the terrain suddenly widened, the wind weakened, and the yellow sand in the sky fell here.
On the east and west sides of Luosha Town, there are rare mountains in the northwest. Compared with the Qinling Mountains, the mountains on the east and west sides of Luosha Town are naturally much smaller. However, compared with the loess slopes common in the northwest, they are much larger. Also, there are good low-growing vegetation on the mountain.
Where there is vegetation, there is water. Where there is water, it is suitable for human habitation. Therefore, although there is a lot of sand in Luosha Town, there are also many people who settle here. Whether it is a person going south or a person going north, he must pass through here.
It is one of the largest towns in the Northwest. Everything that a big town in the hinterland of the Central Plains should have, is available here. There are teahouses, taverns, restaurants, inns, and even casinos and green houses.
Although this is also the territory of Fengmingzhuang, Fengmingzhuang's control of Luosha Town is limited to protecting the peace of Luosha Town in a way other than the law.
To put it more simply, Fengmingzhuang collects protection money from Luosha Town. As long as it is a person who pays the protection fee, Fengmingzhuang will protect their safety. Only those who have paid the protection fee will Fengmingzhuang stand up for them when they are in trouble.
From Fengmingzhuang to Luosha Town, the distance is not too close. Riding a fast horse requires at least a day and a night. However, from Fengmingzhuang to Luosha Town, it is not suitable for riding horses and galloping. Because, from Fengmingzhuang to Luosha Town, in addition to passing through several poplar forests, you also have to pass through a large stone forest. Strange Stone Forest.
It is a strange thing that there is a stone forest on the ground in the northwest. This strange stone forest grows even stranger. Not only does it look weird, but it also has an extremely wide range. If you want to go from Fengmingzhuang to Luosha Town, and you don't want to go to this strange stone forest, you can only take a detour. Take a detour for a few days and nights.
Xu Laogeng and several of his brothers are now walking through this stone forest. They are all brothers of the Six Doors.
Horses can no longer be ridden. The horses couldn't even be carried anymore. Horses can't pass through the stone forest. There are too many rocks in the stone forest, and they are too sharp. Even if a good horseshoe is nailed, the sole of the horse's foot will be cut.
Therefore, Xu Laogeng and the others all abandoned their horses and went on foot. The horses they rode were all old horses. They all recognize the way back to the county seat. Xu Laogeng was not worried that they would be taken away halfway. The horses with six doors are all stamped. Whoever dares to lead the horse of the six doors home will be led into the six doors by the six gates.
As long as they pass through this stone forest, Xu Laogeng and the others will have a way to find a means of transportation. For people with six doors, it is not difficult to find a means of transportation.
Xu Laogeng is an old man from the Northwest Six Doors General Administration. He is a native of the Northwest. When he was young, he made a good knife skill. There is no man in the Northwest who can't play with a few knives. Now, Xu Laogeng's knife skills are getting more and more spicy. So, he has always been one of the left and right arms of the Iron Harrier.
The Iron Harrier values him, not only because of his swordsmanship, but also because he is old and spicy, and he has a wide range of people in the northwest. Therefore, this trip to invite Fu Hongxue on an errand was handed over to him by the Iron Harrier.
But Xu Laogeng's heart has no bottom. Although he still has six good players from the Northwest Six Doors General Administration by his side, he still has no bottom in his heart.
He hadn't seen Fu Hongxue. But he had heard Fu Hongxue's name. Fu Hongxue was born, and when he did great things in Wanmatang in Kanto, his name was blown to all corners of the rivers and lakes along with the wind, including the northwest ground.
Xu Laogeng originally thought that a person like Fu Hongxue would never have anything to do with him in his life.
But now there will be. He was going to face Fu Hongxue. He's going to invite him. Iron Harrier said very clearly, it was "please".
However, both Tie Harrier and Xu Laogeng knew that Fu Hongxue was not such a good person to invite. Although it is everyone's duty to assist officials in handling cases, Fu Hongxue is not necessarily the person who is so willing to keep his duty. Especially after the news has spread in the rivers and lakes, it is even less likely that Fu Hongxue will follow the people from the six doors to see the officials
Therefore, the iron harrier did not put too much pressure on Xu Laogeng. Iron Harrier's words to Xu Laogeng are, please get it, please. If you can't ask for it, Xu Laogeng will wait in Luosha Town. Accompany Fu Hongxue and wait for the arrival of the Iron Harrier. If Fu Hongxue wants to leave, Xu Laogeng can follow Fu Hongxue from a distance.
But Xu Laogeng knew that although Iron Harrier's words were so, if he really couldn't invite Fu Hongxue, his status in Iron Harrier's mind would definitely drop a bit. If Iron Harrier's request is really that simple, why should he step in?
It's not easy. Along the way, Xu Laogeng was thinking about what method to use to invite Fu Hongxue after seeing him. It hurts his head to think about it. The closer he got to Luosha Town, the more headaches he had.
However, Xu Laogeng's head didn't hurt for long.
As soon as Xu Laogeng and his six brothers passed through a narrow passage in the stone forest, they saw three people. Three men sitting on a very large rock. The three people sitting on the stone looked at Xu Laogeng and his party with a smile.
An old man, a young man, a woman. The big rock they were sitting on just blocked the way.
As soon as Xu Laogeng and his party appeared, the woman said with a smile: "This road is not passable." ”
A six-door expert behind Xu Laogeng pressed his waist knife in his hand, stepped forward, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you?
The woman's smile remained unchanged, and she still smiled and said, "This way is not working." ”
Xu Laogeng stretched out his hand to stop the six door masters who were speaking, took a step forward, and said to the three people sitting on the stone: "I am ......"
The woman interrupted Xu Laogeng's words and said with a smile: "The little woman knows that the old man is always Xu Da of the Northwest Six Gates. This road is not working. ”
Xu Laogeng's expression condensed slightly, and said: "Since the three of you know who I am, you should know what kind of crime it is to block the six doors to handle the case." ”
The woman smiled and said, "The little woman knows." is a felony. The little woman also knew that it would be a capital offense to kill the people of the six gates. Immediately, the woman raised her hand, and a large handful of small stones shot towards Xu Laogeng and his party.
Xu Laogeng pulled out the knife in his hand, danced the knife, and chopped all the small stones that flew over. With this split, Xu Laogeng immediately felt that his wrist was sore.
Xu Laogeng was shocked in his heart, and shouted in a deep voice: "Rush!"
Here and now, there is only rush. If you go back further, several people are crowded in the narrow passage, and you can only let people make dumplings.
The old man smiled, "The knife technique is good. The old man said with a smile, and with his foot, a stone the size of a grinding plate flew straight towards Xu Laogeng.
Seeing the stone flying over, Xu Laogeng knew that there was a big trouble today.
He can't hide. If he dodged, the stone would have been thrown at several of his brothers behind him. None of them could take the stone, which was the size of a millstone.
Xu Laogeng shouted: "Sixth son, retreat quickly!
While drinking, Xu Laogeng turned the steel knife in his hand horizontally to block the big stone that flew over.
With a bang, the big stone hit Xu Laogeng's steel knife, and the hundred refining steel knife in Xu Laogeng's hand was immediately broken into two. Xu Laogeng's whole body was shocked and leaned back, and before he could stand up, a hook and sickle slashed through his neck, and his head fell to the ground.
The one who made the hook and sickle was an old man who had just picked up the stone with his foot. The hook and sickle is not easy to practice. But if you practice it well, you can easily hook off a person's head. The old man's hook and sickle is obviously well practiced.
Xu Laogeng will never have a headache again. The head that falls on the ground will never hurt again.
When Xu Laogeng's head hit the ground, the other two brothers who followed him also fell to the ground, both of them were stabbed through the chest. It was the woman who shot it. The sword used by the woman was a short mandarin duck sword. The sword is not long, just enough to penetrate a person's body.
Seeing Xu Laogeng and the two brothers with six doors fall to the ground, a good-looking six-door expert who walked at the back quickly turned around and exited into the passage.
He is the sixth son that Xu Laogeng called before. He knew that the remaining four of them could never be opponents of the other party. They had to have one of them come back alive. He was closest to the passage. He was also the fastest. He had to go back.
He had to go back and tell Mr. Tie who the murderer of Boss Xu and several brothers was. There are not many people who make hooks and sickles, and there are not many people who make mandarin duck swords. He believed that as long as he could pass the news back, Mr. Tie would definitely be able to find out the murderer of Boss Xu and several brothers. Brothers of the Six Doors, they can't die in vain.
His response was extremely swift. He turned around and swept swiftly towards the passage. He knew that as long as the remaining three brothers could block the time of three breaths for him, he would be able to pass through the passage. As long as he passed through the passage, he was confident that he could escape back.
But he didn't make it away. His remaining three brothers were unable to buy him three breaths.
No sooner had he swept into the passage than he was hit hard in the back of the head. As he fell, he turned his head with the last of his strength and glanced at his remaining three brothers.
They had all fallen to the ground. Two of them lost their heads. It was hooked by the hook and sickle. The other person was killed by the Mandarin Duck Sword. When he turned his head, the woman was pulling the twin swords out of his brother's body, still smiling at him.
The young man didn't seem to make a move the whole time.
He fell to the ground, and faintly heard the young man say as if to himself, "You can't sit still, right?"
