0022 Escape
Several people soon arrived at the village chief's house. It was late at night, but the lights were still on at the village chief's house. Niu Bajin motioned for the three brothers to wait for him at the door, and pushed the door into the yard by himself. After a while, Niu Bajin came out with his pocket, took out a bunch of pancakes from his pocket and stuffed them into the baggage of the three brothers and himself. Then he waved his hand and led the three brothers into the dark night outside the village.
The four of them walked silently for a long time in the dark night, and the spirit of the three brothers finally eased up. Niu Mancun looked at the back of his father in front of him and said, "Dad, where are we going?" ”
Niu Bajin didn't look back, and said directly: "Go to Shaanxi!" We can't bring it with us in Shanxi! I'm afraid that it won't be until tomorrow night, and the county's official document on sea fishing will be passed out! Tomorrow we'll have to find a way to take the path. ”
Niu Mantun said: "Dad, can we escape the pursuit of the government?" ”
Niu Bajin said: "Yes, sure!" Do you know why I killed him two servants? It's to warn the servants in other places not to really come after us! We dare to kill! ”
Niu Bajin paused for a moment and then said: "Think about what I taught you on the way, don't forget!" After a while, when the morning dawns, I will sharpen a wooden stick for each of you, and it will be considered a guy. ”
Then the four of them fell silent and continued to walk forward in the darkness.
When it was almost noon the next day, the two messengers who had come to change shifts staggered into the village and went straight to Niu's house. As soon as he knocked on the door of the cow's house, the door opened. The two of them pushed the door directly into the courtyard. A moment later, a ghost crying wolf howl sounded from the courtyard!
"Murder! Kill! ”
The two servants stumbled out of the courtyard and ran out of the village. The villagers who didn't know why were alarmed by this sound, and they all gathered at the gate of Niu's courtyard to discuss, but no one dared to enter the courtyard. Although they don't know what's going on, everyone knows that something must have happened to the Niu family!
After a while, a large group of people from the county poured into the village. After they dispersed the villagers, they drained the water around Niu's house. Then there was door-to-door questioning. In the end, they concluded that the Huang brothers had been killed the previous night. Murder is a veteran, clean and neat, no superfluous action at all! The two of them didn't even shout out and settled the account.
When Zhao Zhutou heard from the villagers that Niu Bajin had joined the army in his early years, his face changed color. He is from the county seat, so he doesn't know much about the village below. And he is much younger than Niu Bajin, so he doesn't know the history of Niu Bajin at all. If he knew that Niu Bajin had been a soldier, I am afraid that he would have to dissuade the chief bookkeeper from choosing another family to cause trouble. But there's not much to say about it. In the afternoon of the same day, the portraits and sea fishing documents were spread from the county to all parts of Shanxi.
The father and son of the Niu family have escaped for more than ten days. If you can say how far they have gone, it is really not far. After all, walking on two legs is slow. And they also have to avoid the county seat and the larger towns, so they can only take small roads. So I didn't go far to go around. However, Niu Bajin estimates that it will take at least a day or two to get out of Shanxi.
It's evening, and the sun is about to set over the horizon. Father and son were passing down a hillside, trying to get around a town. They walked halfway up the mountain, overlooking the curling smoke rising from the town at the foot of the mountain, and several people were full of emotion in their hearts, and the peaceful days of the past could never come back!
It's starting to get dark. Niu Mangu snorted and said, "Dad, let's rest and rest!" I can't walk anymore! ”
Niu Bajin looked up at the sun and nodded. The three brothers sat down as if they had been pardoned. He took out the pancake from his baggage and ate it slowly with the water from the gourd around his waist.
Niu Mangu finished eating the bread and whispered, "Dad, when are we going?" ”
Niu Bajin put down the gourd and said slowly: "Bear with it again!" We are already close to the border of Shaanxi. As long as you cross the border, there will be no sea fishing papers! ”
Niu Mancun said: "But, Dad, we have no way out!" If someone checks, won't we be exposed? ”
Niu Bajin sneered and said, "What do you know? Who's still looking for the road guide now? The world has long been corrupted. When I get to Shaanxi, I will get some money and buy a knife for each of you. When the time comes, our father and son will go to be swordsmen. There are mid-rangers among the swordsmen, and they can get the wayside and the paperwork. Naturally, it will be fine then! After a few years of being a swordsman, our father and son can still find a place to settle down again. ”
Hearing Niu Bajin say this, the eyes of the three brothers lit up with hope again. After a few moments of rest, they continued along the path, ready to find a place to spend the night.
After walking a short distance, he was just around a corner, and suddenly collided with a group of centaurs. Niu Bajin's heart tightened, because he recognized the soldier's clothes. These are two errand officers with a group of people.
Niu Bajin was nervous, but his face was silent. He didn't think there would be any errand servants, and he really took Minzhuang up the mountain to search for the four of them. This group should have something else passing by. So Niu Bajin motioned to the three brothers to stand on the side of the road to make way.
Niu Bajin was nothing, but the faces of the three brothers changed. When these two errand officers passed by Niu Bajin's side, they didn't say anything when they looked at Niu Bajin's respectful face, but they felt that something was not right when they looked at the faces of the three brothers.
One of the officers took two steps forward, scratching his head vigorously and thinking about something. Suddenly, he suddenly realized, shouted, and shouted: "Father and son of the Niu family!" ”
This voice fell into the ears of the three brothers like a thunderbolt! But Niu Bajin seemed to hear the horn, and in the blink of an eye, he took out his war knife from his burden and slashed it over. The officer who shouted was struck in the chest and fell down with a scream!
The other officer, who didn't understand what was going on, was kicked by Niu Bajin and rolled down the hillside. Niu Bajin turned his head and shouted to the three brothers: "Run!" He put away his sword and held it in his arms, and slammed into the group of people!
These people are also ordinary people, so they can withstand this scare! was knocked out of the way by Niu Bajin's team all of a sudden! The four fathers and sons of the Niu family escaped along the road that they had knocked off.
In fact, this team really didn't come to hunt them down. But in the mountains near this town, somehow a huge wild boar appeared, and two people died. Therefore, the county issued a reward and let the messengers lead the people to hunt for wild boars. But I don't want to collide with the Niu family father and son!
It was already late before the accident, and the Niu family father and son were preparing to find a place to spend the night. After the accident, the four of them could only hurry up and escape, and they couldn't take a break!
And the team also informed the other teams. Therefore, the head of the team simply replaced the matter of catching wild boars with the pursuit of the Niu family father and son, and began to command the messengers and the people to search around the mountain.
Fortunately, all the servants know that the father and son of the Niu family are extremely fierce and not very hardworking. Those people are even more unwilling to contribute. But it's still a mountain full of torches!
The father and son of the Niu family were frightened by this mountain full of torches! Desperately found a way to escape, but fortunately it was night, and finally escaped! It's just that they fled in this dark night, but the father and son ran away.
