Chapter 31: Knowing the treacherous and plotting to kill the gopher
In order to get rid of the pursuit of the Blue Dragon Gang, Pan Yuanqiang, the leader of the Giant Shark Gang, took two hall masters, riding in a carriage driven by Zheng Qin, panicked and desperately fled; they came to Suzhou City, on a pine forest road at the foot of the southern mountain. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 During the operation, I suddenly heard the sound of the carriage! I saw the wheel hub on the left hit a protruding sharp stone on the side of the road and broke in half.
Everyone jumped out of the car, Zheng Qin pointed to the broken wheel hub and said:
"In the Blue Dragon Gang, he was slashed, and now it is completely ruined!"
Pan Yuanqiang helped the leader, touched the broken wheel, and said pityingly:
"Today, we were able to escape from the Tiger Cave alive, thanks to it! Unfortunately, we can't bring this carriage back to Jiangbei!"
"Then what should I do now?" Lin Shuangxiong asked anxiously.
Pan Yuanqiang looked at everyone's expressions, and finally set his eyes on Zheng Qin, and asked him decisively:
"Virtuous nephew, that road to the river is the fastest now!"
"It's called the Red Pine Forest, and further on, there is a trail about 200 steps," Zheng Qin said, pointing to the front, "Follow the trail all the way to the west, and you will reach the river by the mountain in front!"
"Okay, then we'll go this way. Pan Yuanqiang said.
Everyone let go of their pace, found the trail in front of them, and headed west, towards the river.
Just after crossing the pine forest, they were about to embark on a big road, when the two hall masters who were walking in the lead found a woman at the intersection with a child of about seven or eight years old, resting on a load of pancakes.
The child seemed to be angry with his mother, he was wearing a small melon-skin hat and a brown skirt, with his back to the intersection, sitting on a small stool next to the burden, looking at the other side and not saying a word. And the young woman, who should also be the mother of the child, wore a grass-green skirt and a floral cloth apron, her appearance was refreshing, the charm was still there, and a bamboo hairpin was pinned to her coiled black hair.
And now, it was time for lunch again, and the men had had breakfast at the headquarters of the Giant Shark before they set off, and they were already hungry, especially when they saw the pancakes at the intersection, which awakened their hunger, which had long been replaced by panic.
At this time, Deng Zhong, who was walking in front, exclaimed excitedly:
"Huh! ”
So they took two steps, and came to the woman's burden, and asked her,
"Big sister, where are you going to pick?"
"Go to the city and sell the goods!" said the young woman, using her skirt as a fan, fanning her beautiful face.
"Can you sell some with us?" Deng Zhong asked.
"Of course!" said the woman, laughing, "and it is better for me to sell it before I finish selling it and rest it early." ”
"This is reasonable!" Lin Shuangxiong took over the conversation, looked at the woman with a smile and said, "Go back early, don't get tired, it's a pity!"
When the woman saw him say this, she was not angry, but laughed at it.
"Sister, how much do these pancakes cost?" Deng Zhong asked solemnly.
"The more you buy, the better the price, sell it in small quantities, three for two pennies, no bargaining!" said the woman solemnly, holding up two fingers. It's like worrying that people think her good goods are too cheap!
At this time, Lin Shuangxiong had already pulled out the money bag around his waist, and picked out a broken silver weighing five coins in it, handed it to the woman's delicate and soft palm, and said with a smile:
"Sister, the fat water does not fall into other people's fields, you can take away these five coins of silver!" he kicked lightly with his toes, and the basket of pancakes in front of the young woman said, "Just take this cage!" As he spoke, his rough five fingers led the sheep to the ground, and he was reluctant to gently drag back from the white and tender fingers of the young woman holding the silver.
The woman looked down and smiled shyly, and said:
"As the eldest brother wishes!"
This situation immediately made Lin Shuang's ambition bloom, and even the wound on his arm that was dripping blood seemed to have become a charming and spectacular Baotu Spring scene.
But when they turned away with the fragrant pancakes, and left the women and the children and the burden of the pancakes behind, there was nothing but hunger in their eyes and hearts—unbearable hunger!
Therefore, Deng Zhong stretched out his hand first, grabbed one and was about to stuff it into his mouth, but Lin Shuangxiong slapped his wrist and said:
"Brother, don't mess up, no matter how hungry we are, we must have rules, the helper hasn't done it yet!"
"That's right, brother. Deng Zhong immediately put down the pancake and said ashamedly, "I'm starving and fainting, and I almost don't even have the minimum courtesy." ”
And the leaders of the Giant Shark Gang, Pan Yuanqiang and Zheng Qin, lagged behind, because they hadn't seen each other for many years, and there were too many things to say, so their pace was much slower than the two hall masters.
While the two were talking, it happened that they had already arrived, and seeing Lin Shuangxiong holding a basket of fragrant pancakes in his hand, Pan Yuanqiang and Zheng Qin, the leaders of the Giant Shark Gang, walked up quickly and asked:
"Where did you get this?"
"Well, where did the girl at the intersection in front buy it? Deng Zhong turned around and pointed to the young woman and child at the intersection, as well as their burdens.
Everyone glanced at the intersection, and Pan Yuanqiang, the leader of the Giant Shark Gang, immediately grabbed a pancake and handed it to Zheng Qin and said:
"Virtuous nephew, this is really a beautiful thing in the snow, come and eat something quickly. ”
So, everyone reached out and grabbed the pancakes and prepared to eat.
And at this moment, the little boy who had been sitting on the small stool with his back to them turned his head and glanced at them;
He immediately threw away the pancakes and shouted to everyone:
"It's not edible, it's poisonous. ”
For, when the man turned his face, he found that he was not a child, but a dwarf in his forties, with a fleshy face and a resentful gaze, and that when he was five years old, he had seen him appear at a meeting convened by his uncle Zheng Tailun, and that he was also the leader of the gang, and that he was called Jo Song, the gopher driller, and that he was such a man—a wicked and ugly dwarf.
As he spoke, Zheng Qin had already rushed towards the young woman and the dwarf, and he pointed at the dwarf and said:
"Gopher Joe Josong, when did you switch to selling pancakes?"
The dwarf didn't know Zheng Qin, so he raised his head and looked at the young woman and asked:
"Lady, do you know him?"
"I don't know this kind of daredevil. The woman snorted coldly and said in a tone of contempt.
So, the dwarf turned around again, looked at Zheng Qin and said:
"What are you talking about in a hurry?
"Hmph, I recognize your strange appearance, turn to ashes!" Zheng Qin said, "When I was five years old, you participated in the gang meeting in my uncle's hall!"
"Your uncle, the synagogue, and the gang assembly?" the young woman saw that he said so powerfully, and then she became alert and asked, "Who are you, and who is your uncle?"
"My name is Zheng Qin, and my uncle is the late Blue Dragon Gang leader Zheng Tailun who was killed by you!" Zheng Qin said indignantly.
Hearing this, the young woman and the dwarf looked at each other and said:
"Really, cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze is urging and regenerating - there are endless troubles in the future!"
So saying, the woman and the dwarf both came out of the cage with a loud thud, and took out their weapons, and the woman drew her two swords, and the dwarf held a pair of Emei thorns in her hand, and they said:
"Then kill you first, and then take the life of the old thief's dog!" said that, they swung their swords at Zheng Qin and stabbed at him.
Zheng Qin shook his body, jumped aside, pointed at the woman, and said:
"Oh! I know, you are the chrysanthemum lady Ge Qian who has been ridden by the dwarf Qiao Song all her life;
"Lady, why are you still stunned! The drill gopher Qiao Song was so angry that he shouted.
Suddenly, the two swords were like the wind, coming towards Zheng Qin, and a pair of Emei thorns were just like ten thousand snake letters, flickering around Zheng Qin. Two kinds of weapons, two teammates who have cooperated for more than ten years, and they are both first-class masters in the rivers and lakes; at that moment, Zheng Qin felt unlucky, on the wrong day, and met the wrong opponent!
He suddenly felt that the knife technique that he had always played very well had turned into a fool with a hammer, useless, and seemed to have an extra tail that was difficult to get rid of even when he dodged. After only three or two efforts, not only did he not have room for backhand, but he was even covered in bruises!
As a last resort, he had no choice but to call for help:
"Uncle Pan, save me!"
