Chapter 2 The Cloth Gambler
At this time, the blue wolf cavalry led by the leader saw that this group of people were protecting the family of three, galloped on horseback, the scimitar in his hand was unfolded, the cold light crossed, Lu Qian's right arm flipped in the air, and the blood shook off the blood and sprinkled it on everyone. Regardless of the severe pain, Lu Qian stretched out his left arm, jumped up with all his strength, and threw the blue wolf cavalry down under the horse, and smashed the stump like raindrops towards the blue wolf cavalry.
The blue wolf cavalry had just fallen under the horse, a little dazed, and when he was sober, he turned his hand and grabbed Lu Qian's stump arm and threw it aside. Lu Qian took advantage of the situation to turn over, and before he could stand still, he saw that a scimitar had already pierced into the back of Qiu Fenghua's body. Qiu Fenghua used his last strength to push Lu Yun away in his arms, glanced back at Lu Qian, his eyes were full of reluctance, his face did not leave a painful expression, and he fell on the grass that was already bright red. Lu Yun was pushed two or three steps away, and his eyes looked straight at the blue wolf cavalry walking towards him, with only hatred in his eyes, not a trace of fear.
Lu Qian's heart ached, his legs shot together, and he kicked at the blue wolf cavalry. As soon as the blue wolf cavalry grabbed it, he grabbed Lu Qian's left leg, slashed down with a scimitar, and cut his left leg into two pieces. Lu Qian had already prepared, and when his left leg was caught, he turned over with his strength, his stump arm tightly hugged the shoulder of the blue wolf cavalryman, and bit his throat, tearing violently, blood gushing out, spraying on Lu Yun's body and face. The blue wolf cavalry used its last strength to slam Lu Qian to the ground, and he also fell to the ground.
At this time, another blue wolf cavalry galloped over, seeing that he was about to cut Lu Yun into two pieces, Lu Yun stood in place, wanting to go with his mother. Seeing this, Yang Jie strode forward with a knife swing, and the two knives intersected, and the blue wolf cavalry only felt that this person had the strength of thousands of catties, and the scimitar couldn't hold it for a while, and was blocked by the remnant knife in Yang Jie's hand for dozens of steps, and fell far into the grass. Before he could react, his skull had been dented by the stumbling knife, and his brain was splashed.
At this time, there were still seven or eight cavalry in the blue wolf cavalry, and the Lu family only had Lu Qian, Lu Yun and his son, and the only remaining dead soldier, Yang Jie. Yang Jie's eyes were fierce, he held the remnant knife tightly in his hand, and he was panting in his mouth, and he was about to fight to the end. The rest of the blue wolf cavalry also saw Yang Jie's quick knife just now and didn't dare to step forward. Say something to each other in the wolf language, turn around and run away.
Lu Yun helped Lu Qian up, Lu Qian was already dying, looked at Lu Yun, and said weakly: "In the future, the way forward, you want to go by yourself, as a man, the most important thing in life is the word Xinyi, 10,000, never forget." The voice was staccato and weaker until it was inaudible.
Lu Yun gently put down his father Lu Qian, his eyes were firm, he got up and picked up a knife, inserted it hard in the grass, and dug out the soil. Yang Jie understood that Lu Yun was burying his parents, so he also picked up a scimitar, walked five steps away, and began to dig up, which was to bury his comrades.
It was already dark, and the bright moonlight was shining on the grassland, and countless fires were rushing towards this side not far away. Lu Yun and Yang Jie finished burying everyone, they were already exhausted, they looked at each other, and knew that there was nowhere to hide on the grassland, so they sat down and waited for the arrival of this group of blue wolf cavalry.
There are really a lot of people in this group, there are as many as a thousand people, one of the three or five people is holding a torch, and when they get close, they can see clearly, sure enough, they are all blue wolf cavalry, seeing Lu Yun and Yang Jie, they screamed and surrounded the two of them. Yang Jie clenched the two scimitars with both hands, his eyes vigilant around.
One of the wolf cavalry walked out, turned over and dismounted, this person was dressed in animal skin and was no different from everyone else, thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with sharp eyes, strode in front of Lu Yun, his voice was loud, and he asked in Chinese that was not very fluent: "Are you a member of the Lu family?"
Lu Yun replied loudly: "Exactly, I am Lu Qian's eldest son, Lu Yun." ”
The man suddenly wailed: "Brother Lu, I made an appointment with you to start on the sixth day of the new year, why can't you wait." ”
Lu Yun was expressionless, and he didn't make a sound, just watched quietly. Seeing this, Yang Jie didn't know why this person was crying like this, but he still didn't relax, and his hands were clenched with scimitars in vigilance.
The man continued to sigh and said, "I am your father's friend, the Blue Wolf King Zabusu, since there are only two of you left in the Lu family, go back with me and think about it in the long run." ”
Although Lu Yun is young, he has a strong ability to observe words and feelings, and he can see that this blue wolf king is pretending to wail, but he doesn't know the cause and effect. If you want to know the reason for this, there is only one way in front of you, and that is to survive. Thinking of this, I cried "wow". This cry is not fake, it is all forcibly held back before, admitting that he is manly, bleeding without tears, and he really can't help it at this time.
Seeing this, Zabusu asked someone to vacate a horse, Yang Jie carried Lu Yun on the horse, and the wolf cavalry was everywhere in front and back, left and right, surrounded Yang Jie in the center, and ran quickly towards the depths of the grassland.
In the blink of an eye, the spring breeze caresses the leaves, like a year of water.
In the middle of the day, the sun shines on this laid-back northern town, and the dilapidated casino is lined with seven or eight tables of games, pai gow, and dice, and many people are playing. One of the people ** up, around a table full of vicissitudes, everyone stared intently at the old dice cup, the dealer has piled up a lot of silver jewelry in front of him, his right hand is constantly shaking in the air, and there are words in his mouth, as if this spell can keep him winning. The people around stared at the bloodshot eyes, some couldn't help but hold their breath, and some shouted loudly: "Wang Lao Wu, you are fucking endless, and you are careful of the decay god possessing you." Some people did not speak, but kept their eyes glued to the dice cup, holding the silver in their hands tightly, and never letting go until the last moment.
With a "snap", Wang Lao Wu buckled the dice cup on the table and shouted loudly: "Buy big and buy small, buy and leave." "Before, there were six small points in a row, a leopard, and now of the fifteen people present, ten of them have pressed the silver on the big one, and the leopard is five times the odds, but no one bets on this one. Only a young man in cloth sat firmly aside, waited for everyone to finish the bet, and pressed all the full one hundred taels of silver on the leopard, which made everyone look shocked. Early this morning, the young man won a hundred taels of silver here, and the dealer was already red-eyed, and now he pressed all the hundred taels on the leopard, isn't it just that he drilled into the sleeve under the dealer.
At this time, I have already bought and left, and I can't regret it. Everyone also put down their own silver, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at the dice cup in the dealer's hand. Wang Lao Wu's face was a little ugly at this time, and when it opened, the three dice stopped at four o'clock, the leopard. The dealer thought that this person would not put the silver on the leopard, and it was the first time he had encountered such a gambler after opening a casino for so many years. Seeing that the young man in cloth stopped all the silver in front of him, put it in the package, weighed it, felt that it was enough, and turned around and walked out the door.
Suddenly, a dark shadow blocked the door, roaring loudly: "If you win money, you want to leave?" It seems that someone wants to teach you the rules of the casino!"
The young man in cloth looked up and saw a big black and thin man blocking the door, with a fierce face and a two-foot-long iron rod in his hand. If you dare to take another step forward, you will be served with an iron rod.
The young man in cloth has no expression when he wins money or when he faces such a big black man. With his right hand stretched out, he easily snatched the big black iron rod away, as if it was given away by the big black man. Before the big black man had time to react, the iron rod in his hand was lightning against the heart of the big black man, and the speed of the shot and the ruthlessness of the attack made everyone not see it clearly.
The big black man hadn't reacted yet, but he felt that the momentum was not small, and he couldn't help but stride out of the door, and suddenly his chest was blocked, and his eyes were black, and he fell straight down in the middle of the street. The big black man is also a well-known local scoundrel named Hou Shi, who relies on his tall stature and bullies the old and weak. Today, I was humiliated by a young man who looked weak, where did I swallow this breath, and when I opened my eyes, I was angry. A carp rose on the spot, and when the boy saw him up, he threw the iron rod in his hand straight out. Hou Shi just turned over, the iron rod was in the center of the eyebrows, "bang", the crisp sound of the iron colliding with the stone, Hou Shi was hit by the two consecutive blows on his back face to the sky unconscious.
The young man in cloth walked out of the gate of the casino unhurriedly with the money he had won, and walked down the street, and no one dared to stop him in the casino, so he was allowed to leave.
The young man in cloth first came to a clothing store, tried on a white coat and a bearded suit, which fit properly, took out five taels of silver, bought two sets of identical ones, folded them and put them in his backpack. Went out and walked straight to a blacksmith shop, with a large flag fluttering at the door of the shop, on which the words "Wang Tieshou" were written. When I entered the shop, there were two fourteen or fifteen-year-old blacksmiths clanging on a long knife, but it was as thick as a knife. When the two saw the cloth-clothed boy coming in, they didn't pay attention to it, obviously they were already regular visitors here.
Entering the inner door, an older blacksmith was sleeping on an open-air plank bed, although it was May weather at this time, even if the sun was shining in the north, there was a slight coolness, this blacksmith was sleeping soundly, obviously in good health.
The young man in cloth shouted in a young voice: "Old man Wang, old man Wang, what are you listening to?" The sleeping person was Wang Tieshou, the owner of this blacksmith shop.
After screaming a few times, Wang Tieshou didn't wake up, the cloth-clothed boy grabbed the package full of silver and shook it in Wang Tieshou's ear, Wang Tieshou's eyes didn't open, he knew the exact location of the package just by listening to the sound, grabbed the package, checked the weight, put it in his arms, took out a piece and bit it, and put the silver into the package, this series of actions was only completed in an instant.
Wang Tie held the silver in his arms, looked at the young man in cloth, and said: "Lu Yunli, this money is really for you to win, there is a big black man in the casino, you can come back safely, and there are really two brushes." He got up and stood up. The man was of medium height, with strong muscles, dark and rough skin, and large hands like a cover.
Lu Yunli said with great disdain: "I was knocked down twice, it was just a straw bag." ”
Wang Tieshou: "This kind of person should be taught a good lesson." As he spoke, he walked to the backyard and said, "Come with me, what you want is done." Walking to the backyard with Lu Yunli, Lu Yunli didn't speak, just followed Wang Tieshou.
