Chapter 45: Chasing After
This is an inconspicuous small village, located in a small col in Guangwu Mountain, with seven or eight families scattered in the land, and not far away is a chasm dozens of zhang deep. The canal leading from www.biquge.info the Yellow River has long since been diverted from the chasm, and the bottom of the ditch is overgrown with weeds and trees, leaving only some small puddles formed by the accumulation of rainwater.
On both sides of the chasm, on one side of an ancient city that has already collapsed, on the west side of the ditch is the Han King City, and on the east side of the Overlord City, whispering about the great war that happened here thousands of years ago that decided the fate of the world.
On the other side of the ditch, directly across from the village, there were a number of thatched huts scattered in a haphazard manner, and on the opposite side of the hill not far from them, a few thick plumes of smoke rose from them.
It was where Tong Qilang's cellar was located, and those thatched huts were the residences of the cellar workers.
Most of the cellar workers were brought by Tong Qilang from Xiuwu County, which is one of the largest porcelain producing areas in the north, and there are thousands of good cellar burners. The others are displaced people from the surrounding states and counties, some of them are working in the cellars, and some are cutting wood and burning charcoal in the mountains.
In the largest courtyard in the center of the village, a young man in his twenties sat on a stool, with his upper body open and his chest open, his bare feet, and one still stepping on the stool under the seat.
Xiong Er and Jiao Wu stood in front of the young man, dejected, telling what happened to Zheng Er's house not long ago.
After listening to the two of them, the young man shouted: "Zheng Er's house, there is no business these days, and it is all dependent on our family to take care of him, so he didn't sell his Hun family classics, and he dared to eat inside and outside like this!" Where are the others? Two people dragged over to break his dog's legs, see if you dare to make trouble with us Joe! β
Xiong Er accompanied him and said carefully: "Da Lang, don't care about Zheng Er for now, let him go and clean up the few pigs he brought back without delaying their use, won't we let us send them when the time comes?" What is hateful is that the three thieves I met just now actually robbed two pigs alive! Before they go far, we might as well send a few people to grab them back! β
The young man nodded: "Well, Xiong Er, you are getting more and more promising, and you are thoughtful!" Come on, find seven or eight strong ones, and follow Xiong Er and Jiao Wu to catch up with those three splashes to snatch our pigs back! You are careful as long as you don't beat people to death, if there is a life lawsuit, the county can't suppress it, and other things are fine! β
The people around made a chaotic promise, and someone ran out immediately, and in a short time they brought back a group of big men.
Xiong Er was overjoyed when he saw it, and said to the young man on the stool: "Da Lang sits here, and the little one will come with someone to go, and he will definitely do things properly!" Those three thieves from a foreign country, good or bad let them shed their skin! β
Da Lang waved his hand again and again: "Go, go, get things done early, don't come back by mistake to drink wine and eat meat!" β
Xiong Er glanced at Jiao Wu, beckoned everyone, and walked out of the courtyard with a shout.
It turned out that the two of them came back just to say that they met three big men in front of Zheng Ermen, and the two sides were not opponents when they fought, and they were robbed of two pigs by those three people, and they didn't say that Lu Fang had counted money for them. In the minds of the two of them, those three people are not a serious way, as long as they bring someone to subdue them, the money will fall into their pockets.
Seeing a group of people go out, an old man in his fifties behind the young man whispered: "Da Lang, we are in the poor countryside of Heyin County, how can we not know about a foreigner every day?" Recently, I heard that a big official came to the capital, and he didn't know what to do on the bank of the Yellow River with his subordinates. The members of the family have repeatedly explained that the identity of the official is extraordinary, and we must not provoke them, otherwise we will not be able to afford to be guilty. The three people Xiong Er and Jiao Wu said couldn't be the entourage of the big official, right? This thing has to be guarded against! β
The young man didn't care: "Old Wu, you're thinking too much!" I've also heard about this, but what is the identity of Xu Daguan? If you want two pigs to eat, just say it, the county still doesn't send it over? How could he send his subordinates to Zheng Er's house to buy it! Think about it, if we are Xu Daguan and arrive in Mengzhou, what delicious food should we not eat first? How could it be that after all these days, someone was sent out to collect it! β
Seeing that the old man still didn't believe it, the young man patted him on the shoulder: "Peace of mind, peace of mind!" I do things in my own way, and I have thought carefully about the reasons for everything, how could something go wrong on this! β
The old man saw that the young man had made up his mind, sighed, and said no more.
Xiong Er and Jiao Wu staggered out of the small mountain village with seven or eight big men, walked to a small hillside, pointed not far away, and said, "Those three killed the pigs and went to the east." They are not connoisseurs, they can't drive pigs, and the two of them carry them away, so they must not be able to go fast. Let's hurry up and catch up before the sun goes down! β
The two of them applauded in an uproar, and ran down the mountain with Xiong Er and Jiao Wu in a mess.
Lu Fang calculated the time, and rushed back to the bank of the Yellow River again, but he was afraid that it would be too late, so he took people back to the Three Emperors Temple directly.
The two soldiers each carried a pig, and after not walking a mile, they were out of breath.
The pigs of this era are usually raised by grazing outside, and they don't grow big, only a few dozen catties in weight, which cannot be compared with the big fat pigs of more than 200 catties in Xu Ping's previous life. But this is a living creature after all, and it is particularly tiring to walk with four hooves in its arms, and its body struggles wildly.
When they arrived at the edge of a small forest, a soldier said to Lu Fang: "Dianzhi, take a break, this animal is moving in his arms, and it is too hard to hold it." β
Lu Fang said: "Okay, you go to the edge of the forest and sit first." I saw that there were some kudzu vines over there, so I went and dragged a few of them, and tied them up so that they would not move endlessly. β
The two soldiers answered the promise, panted to the edge of the grove, sat down on the ground, stretched out their big hands and pressed the two pigs to the ground, looking at each other and panting.
One said: "I only think that pork is delicious, but I don't want to be so laborious to transport!" β
The other said: "Just watching that Zheng Tu drive a few pigs without any effort, let this animal go wherever they go, who knows that we don't have that ability." Could it be that there is a murderous aura saved by killing pigs, and these animals are so scared that they dare not move when they see it? I heard that butchers have murderous aura on their bodies that others can't see. β
"Perhapsβ" said the former, resting against the tree.
Lu Fang walked quickly to a rock at the edge of the woods, and dragged the kudzu vine with his hand, but he was afraid that he would prick his hand and didn't dare to use force, so he pulled one out after a while. I looked left and right, and saw that a weed not far away was growing luxuriantly, and I went over and pulled a handful of pads in my hand, so I put my mind at ease and saw that the long vine was pulling a few sticks indiscriminately.
At this moment, a loud shout came from not far away: "Look, the three thieves who robbed our pigs over there are them!" Let's go around together, don't let them run! (To be continued.) )
