Chapter Seventy-Five: The Old Man Solves Puzzles and Goes to the Cottage at Night
When the old man walked in, Li Qin asked forward.
"Old man, is this Fengyunling?" Li Qin saw the old man walk in, so he dismounted and asked Shili forward.
"Oh, this is Fengyunling, what's the matter with the young man?" The old man saw that someone was asking him, so he stopped, gently unloaded the firewood and grass, looked at the young man in front of him, and then spoke.
"Old man, are you a resident of the mountains? Do you often haunt this area?" Li Qin saw that the old man was coarse and linen, and his feet were pedaling on grass shoes, so he concluded that the old man should be a resident of this mountain.
"I've been living here for almost seventy years, old man, and this road is the only way for me to chop wood sooner or later. When the old man saw Li Qin's inquiry, he replied.
"So, old man, have you ever seen a dart man on this road?" Li Qin continued to ask when he saw the old man talking about this road every day.
"You're talking about the centaurs of the dart board, let me think about it, and I think that there was a dart board that was once stationed here. When the old man heard Li Qin's words, he scratched his head, thought for a while, and then spoke.
"Oh, in this way, you have seen it, can you say it more carefully?" Li Qin heard that the old man had seen the men and horses of the dart game, so his face showed a hint of pleasure, and then helped the old man to the side, sat down, and then listened to the old man's words.
"I remember that it was dusk, old man, I finished chopping wood, ready to go home, when I passed by this mountain road, I saw a team of men and horses of the dart bureau camping on a small hillside in the distance, I looked up the hillside, and remembered a few people from Fengyun Village. The old man said as he picked up the gourd on his body and took a few sips of water.
"The people of Fengyun Village, what is the place of Fengyun Village?" Li Qin was very curious when he heard that the old man was in Fengyun Village. Then he asked the old man.
"You said Fengyun Village, Fengyun Village is a thief's den in Fengyun Ridge, just on the hillside in the distance, but these people are also kind to us people, they only rob merchants and pedestrians. When the old man saw Li Qin's inquiry, he first pointed to a hillside in the distance, and then replied to Li Qin.
"So did these people say anything?" asked Li Qin as he continued.
"I didn't care too much about it because it was getting late and I was in a hurry, but my expressions and movements were very familiar to the people and those people. The old man said.
At this moment, a little boy jumped in the distance, walking towards Li Qin and the old man.
"Grandpa, grandpa!" Seeing that there was still some distance between them, the child shouted at the old man.
"Is this your grandson?" asked the boy Li Qin, looking back at the old man.
"Well, yes. The old man said with a smile.
"Grandpa, grandma saw that you haven't come back for a long time, so she asked me to come over, *** the disease has recurred, and there is no medicine in the house, what should I do?" said the little boy and cried.
Seeing this, Li Qin hurriedly inquired about the little boy, only to learn that the little boy had no father or mother, and lived with his grandparents, who had been bedridden and sick, and relied on the old man to chop wood alone to make a living.
Li Qinli couldn't help but feel a little sad, so he took out his money bag, took out ten taels of silver, and brought it to the old man.
Seeing this, the old man refused to accept it, but Li Qin spoke.
"Old man, this money is for the grandmother of the family, and this little brother is not small, help him find a brother to study, and you can go to the market to open a small shop with the rest of the money, so as to maintain the livelihood of the family." Li Qinyan said to the old man sincerely.
"Quick, kneel down and thank your benefactor. The old man was excited for a while, and he didn't know what to do, so he said to his grandson next to him.
"By no means, the old man can't help it. Seeing the old man like this, Li Qin hurriedly went to stop him. Then he gently handed the firewood and grass to the old man's shoulder, and slowly sent the old man away.
The old man looked back and thanked him, and then slowly disappeared into the clouds of dusk smoke.
But at this time, Li Qin recalled the old man's words.
How did this first dart game get involved with the bandits? It's still very familiar, what's going on? Li Qin thought to himself on the sidelines.
In order to investigate the disappearance of the general's salary, Li Qin decided to go to Fengyun Village in person to find out.
Now the night has spread, a few partridges in the mountains in the distance, and the night wind is gradually blowing, Li Qin stepped on his horse, and walked in the direction of Fengyun Village in the distance.
After a while, Li Qin appeared in front of him with a stockade, and saw that the entire stockade was built between two mountains.
There are steep cliffs on both sides, and it is not so easy to go, Li Qinqian's cottage, he secretly thought.
In order not to startle the snake, Li Qin tied his horse to a small pavilion far away from the cottage, and then walked towards the gate of the mountain by himself.
When Li Qin was about to walk to the door, he became vigilant, first cautiously followed the cottage in front of the moonlight, only to see a few people standing on the sentry post of the village, at this time Li Qin made a difficulty, if he went in this way, he would definitely be discovered, how should this be.
Li Qin thought about it, and suddenly a plan came to his mind, only to see Li Qin pick up a stone from the ground and throw it towards the side of the cottage.
'Peng, hulalalala. ’
The stone hit the stone wall with a loud sound.
"Who's it, quick, come with me" The sentry heard the voice, and went in the direction of the sound to observe the situation of a few people leaving, Li Qin jumped up and flew into the inside of the cottage.
I saw that most of the people in the cottage had already fallen asleep, only one room in the distance was still lit, and there was a lot of noise in the house. Li Qin carefully observed the surroundings, and then cautiously walked in the direction of the light.
At this moment, two patrolling people walked in his direction, and when Li Qin saw this, he hurriedly jumped up and stood lightly on the roof.
The two walked in the direction of Li Qin, and walked in the direction of the other side, and after the two of them left, Li Qin walked like a crane, stepped down, and landed lightly on the ground, and then continued to walk towards the house with lights.
This is Li Qin walked out of the window with the lights on, and then the lights, Li Qin looked into the house.
