- Hong Liangyu came out of the Xiaoxi Pagoda, and took advantage of the dim moonlight to rush on the road. The dry old trees and forks on both sides of the official road continued continuously. At first, some mountain muntjacs and wild deer could be seen. The traces are gone, and if you go further, there are some burnt bricks and tiles, and there are large black blood stains on the ground from time to time, but you can't see the corpse.
Suddenly, the dirt on the official road trembled, the dry grass shook, and more than thirty horsemen galloped towards them.
A bit of biting cool wind penetrated into Hong Liangyu's neck. He lowered his head, tucked his left and right hands into his sleeves interlacedly, curled his neck into a ball, and silently stepped aside to the side of the road. . .
Unexpectedly, the leader saw a big man standing beside the road, blew his whistle, and then reined in the reins. The cavalry stopped and stopped on the official road.
The leader was about forty years old, with dark skin and tight flesh, a warm hat on his head, and a cotton round-neck mandarin jacket. In addition to the bird gun on his back, there were two foreign-made grenades hanging on his left and right waists.
"Big man, how far is it to Xiaoxi Tower?"
Hong Liangyu raised his head as he said: "Eight or nine miles."
The leader asked again: "There is a gentleman named Xiao Donghe in the town, do you know where he lives?"
"Master, you walk along the official road and see two jujube trees going west. Just hang a plaque at the door with the eight leaves passing on the fragrance."
"Well, you understand clearly."
Hong Liangyu replied neither humble nor overbearing: "The villain is originally from Tangjiazhuang, and he works in Xiaoxi Pagoda burning charcoal. Xiao Donghe is the proprietor of my family. During the day, the family sent a letter saying that my mother was seriously ill. The employer granted me two days of sick leave. Dare to delay, and then hurried on the road."
The leader nodded in satisfaction, whistled again, and the horse team left in a hurry.
Seeing the officers and soldiers leaving, Hong Liangyu quickened his pace unconsciously, pondered again, and simply abandoned the official road and went into the wild forest.
After about half a stick of incense, the leader of the cavalry who was on the way suddenly pulled the reins, and then everyone who was experienced on horseback also quickly pulled the reins. 强牺 xindingdianxsw.com 读୲ 6
Yiqi beside him asked in a low voice: "My lord, what's the matter?"
"It's not quite right. Ordinary people always avoid officers and soldiers when they see them, but just now the big man didn't change his expression, and he answered the questions fluently. Tangjiazhuang was hit by a military disaster, and there were many ghosts and ghosts. In broad daylight, living corpses can be seen. He didn't dare to walk alone, he dared to walk more than 20 miles at night alone, I don't think he is kind, he might be a spy of Xiangjun!"
The subordinate thought that the man was not afraid of seeing officers and soldiers just now, and felt that what the leader said made sense: "Should we turn around and chase after?"
"I'm in charge of the military aircraft. It's not good to cause trouble." The leader called out two riders from the team: "You two go back, catch the man just now, and meet at Xiaoxi Tower. Be careful on the way."
The second rider responded and turned his horse's head to catch Hong Liangyu, but after walking along the official road for a long time, he could not see Hong Liangyu's shadow, so he could only report back empty-handed without mentioning it¡ª¡ª
All the way to Tangjiazhuang, I saw that the doors of every house were closed, the streets were deserted, and there were no lights, but every house hung yellow talismans and gossip mirrors to ward off evil spirits, and the air was filled with the smell of burning paper money. The water has already formed ice ballast, although it is not auspicious, after all, you can see some popularity.
Hong Liangyu identified the home of his brother Tang Yao, but only saw a burned-out roof truss. He thought it was revenge from believers who would collect interest from the Gospel Society, and his face changed color.
He quietly stepped into the courtyard of Tang Yao's neighbor's house in two steps, touched the bedroom, poked open the window paper and looked in, only to see four heads sleeping on the bed, a couple and two and a half children. After seeing the traces of Sister Yao, she walked around in a big circle with her hands and feet, and made sure that there was no one else. Finally, she couldn't hold back, pulled a piece of black cloth from under her lapel to cover her face, picked up a hatchet, and kicked her. Kicking open the chaimen in the bedroom, before the four people on the bed could react, the hatchet was on the neck of the man in charge of the house.
"Shut up!"
The man trembled and couldn't speak, he just begged for mercy, but the woman who wrapped the two children tightly in the quilt regained her composure and asked hesitantly, "Ah Yao, are you Ayao?"
Hong Liangyu said coldly: "Sister-in-law of the Mo family, you took my money, but where did you get my sister?"
"I'm wronged! Your sister left with Xiang Jun during the day. She left voluntarily. I can't stop her. Most of the twenty taels of silver you left behind is also hers. She doesn't want it. If you want it, just take it."
Hong Liangyu hurriedly asked: "Why and what Xiangjun left, please explain in detail!"
After speaking, he shook the rusty hatchet in his hand.
"A few days ago, a rebellious Xiangjun came to Wuzhou, and fought fiercely with the officers and soldiers. A few days ago, two gangs of soldiers came here, and the local security regiment was killed by the Xiangjun. The officers and soldiers couldn't beat the Xiangjun, so they went to the small Xita escaped. By the way, the Xiangjun also killed all the Hu landlords who took interest from your family. Your Tang family¡¯s revenge was avenged, but the priests of the Evangelical Church ran away with an iron machine in the chaos. Food was also provided, if you are willing to participate in the Xiang Army, you can get an extra portion, your sister also left with them because of this, saying that she will rebel."
Hong Liangyu was furious: "If you didn't treat my sister badly, why would she run away for food and irrelevant people? You must have treated my sister harshly and forced her to leave!"
"I'm wronged! I'm wronged!" The woman repeatedly yelled: "The Xiangjun indeed recruits female soldiers. I have seen it with my own eyes. There are hundreds of them! I took your money and put my heart into it. Needless to say, I still pay for food and clothing. I added a dowry to her, and the rest of the money was clearly wrapped up, and now it is buried under the ashes of the kitchen stove. At the beginning, Landlord Hu's servants came to the house to blow their beards and stare at me. I sent Yingying to her in-law's house to bite her to death, and I was offended. His! You are wronging your sister-in-law for nothing now, you have lost your conscience."
The woman spoke quickly and urgently, in an orderly manner, not like making up, Hong Liangyu remembered that he searched the house just now, but there were many things for his daughter's household, and he believed it in his heart. This time xi n*di n*gdi an*xsw.com Zhang Si
He dropped the knife sullenly, took a few steps back, and bowed to the woman.
"Just now I was insane and talked nonsense. Don't take offense, Sister Mo."
The woman stared at Hong Liangyu hesitantly, as if she knew him for the first time. She felt a little more at ease, and then raised her mouth: "The Xiang army only left during the day today. They are going south. I heard that they will set up camp in the living fish valley. They have a lot of people and they can't go fast. Maybe you can catch up. I After all, you are not optimistic about Yingying, so you should also take the money in the stove."
Hong Liangyu shook his head: "If it's true as you said, Yingying left the money with you, so the sister-in-law and her family can use it with peace of mind. If I go again, Old Tang, I'm afraid I won't come back."
He wrote down the name of the living fish valley, turned over and left the courtyard gate, and disappeared into the night after a while.
Until this moment, the man poked his head and looked around: "Then, is that the nephew of the Tang family?"
The woman pondered for a while and shook her head: "The voice doesn't quite sound like that." Zhi Da z.com Zhi Xiao
