Chapter 41: Tea Stalls, Orions, and Fruit Vendors
Thinking of this, after Mu Xiaojiu recovered his internal strength for a while, he got up and walked towards Uncle Lin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Uncle Lin, since you want to move on, I don't have any problem, it's just that you can pick out a person who has recovered almost the same with me to go to the road ahead to investigate and see if there is an ambush?"
When Jin Hongjun heard this, he wanted to make a sarcastic remark again, saying that he wanted to go out and report to the enemy, but when he thought of Mu Xiaojiu's threat before, he swallowed the words back again.
Uncle Lin actually didn't want to agree to Mu Xiaojiu, but he didn't want to tear his face with him, and he only had a little doubt in his heart now. Yes, Uncle Lin finally nodded, and then picked a thirty-year-old dart master named Tiehu to go with him.
In fact, Mu Xiaojiu's original intention was to be with Xiao Ba, but he also knew that Uncle Lin would most likely not allow Xiao Ba to accompany him, but would choose a trustworthy henchman to go over.
This dart master nicknamed Iron Tiger is as his name suggests, with a majestic face, specializing in iron cloth shirts, a bit like the previous horse thief leader Guan San, who has a solid and down-to-earth personality, the most righteous spirit, and is an old man in the dart game. In the previous battle, because he practiced the iron cloth shirt, his injuries were not very serious, and he was only stabbed in the back by the leader of the other party.
In Uncle Lin's opinion, the best person to accompany Mu Xiaojiu out is this Iron Tiger, firstly, he can be trusted, and secondly, if Mu Xiaojiu is really a traitor, Tiehu should also be able to escape.
"Brother Tiehu, I'm going to trouble you to lead the way, the two of us will walk forward for a while until the road ahead, if there is no ambush, we will return, and please make marks along the way, so as not to scatter us and the team."
As soon as he came out of the broken temple, Mu Xiaojiu said his plan.
Tie Hu didn't answer, just nodded, and then began to show Mu Xiaojiu the way.
ā¦ā¦
On the other side, in the ruined temple, as soon as Mu Xiaojiu and Tiehu left, Uncle Lin called Xiaoba out, found a hidden place, and started talking.
"Xiaoba, you have been in the dart game for more than two years until now."
Hachi nodded.
"In that case, then you answer me honestly, did this Mu Xiaojiu have any abnormal behavior before?"
"No, Brother Mu can definitely be trusted, he is definitely not a mole." Xiao Ba's words were categorical without the slightest hesitation, and then he relayed what Mu Xiaojiu had said to him and Tao Piaopiao before.
"Well, it seems that I may have really wronged him, but he is really a little suspicious." Uncle Lin frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
"Hey, if Brother Mu is a traitor, then there is no need to be so troublesome, and he will stay to block the enemy? Why bother with all this effort, wouldn't it be better to join forces with the other side and kill us? Xiao Hachi was very unimpressed, "Even if he is not the same as the previous group of people, now in the broken temple, just now he taught the guy surnamed Jin the kung fu, I'm afraid none of us can stop it, he can just kill us directly." ā
In one word, it is heaven-shattering!
ā¦ā¦
"Mu Gongzi, it seems that something is wrong." Tiehu tore away a clump of trees in the mountains and forests, and secretly looked at the official road below.
On the official road, it was very lively at this time, and on the tea stall, three or five people were at a table, each drinking tea and chatting. In addition, there are several hawkers shouting loudly, selling fruits, and there are many people standing around them; On the other side, seven or eight Orions were sitting under the tree talking about something, with a happy face and a seemingly happy face.
"Huh? Brother Iron Tiger, what do you mean? ā
Tiehu let go of the bush of trees, and then said softly: "On weekdays, there will be people selling fruits at tea stalls here on this official road, and we sometimes drink tea when we pass by, take a break, and I have also chatted with the owner of the tea stall." But just now I found out that the owner of the tea stall I had never seen before, and he had never supported a tea stall here before. ā
Mu Xiaojiu pondered for a moment, "When you say this, I also feel a little strange, take a closer look, these people seem to be very suspicious, for example, those who buy fruits, whoever buys fruits will not take so long, let's not say that we have also observed a stick of incense here, but none of those people have moved." ā
"But if it's really the ones who ambushed us, it's too rude."
Mu Xiaojiu shook his head and said, "No, their disguise is not aimed at us. Whether we can see their disguise or not, this road is the only way for the dart team, because there are no forks in the road on either side, and we have a dart cart with us, so we can't walk through the woods. What's more, there is a time limit for darts in the dart game, and if we are too late today, the dart car will definitely not arrive at CD on time, so their disguise, I'm afraid it's just for people to see. ā
"So, should we go back now and tell the people behind us to get ready, or just let them wait at the ruined temple?"
Mu Xiaojiu looked up at the sun in the sky that was covered by clouds, secretly calculated in his heart, and then immediately denied this thought, "No, now Uncle Lin and they are afraid that they have already set off, do you remember the passers-by we saw earlier?" I'm afraid that some of them are enemy spies, and by the time we rush back, Uncle Lin and them have already been discovered, and it will be futile to hide again, the other party will find them sooner or later, and it will be impossible for us to hold out until the support arrives. ā
"What then?" Tie Hu looked at Mu Xiaojiu.
"Instead of resisting, it's better to strike first. Brother Tiehu, you wait up there, find some clothes and cloth and stuff your ears, I don't dress like a dart master, they won't be suspicious of me, I'll go down and hit them off guard. ā
Tie Hu's face suddenly changed, "No, it's too dangerous." ā
Mu Xiaojiu smiled at him, didn't speak, just pulled out the hole flute on his waist. When the temple was broken before, he had already taken the time to wipe the rainwater inside the cave with a flute gall.
As he expected, when he walked back here, those who bought fruit were still buying fruit, and those who drank tea were still drinking tea.
Mu Xiaojiu slowly walked to the tea stall like a walk, and asked the boss, "Boss, can you make a chair for me to rest, I'm too tired to walk this way." ā
The owner of the tea stall glanced at him, and then said with a smile: "I'm sorry, guest officer, you also saw that our stall is full, and I really can't give you a place to sit." The implication is obviously that he doesn't want to do Mu Xiaojiu's business.
But Mu Xiaojiu had already thought that he would say this, sighed, then found a stone and sat down, and began to twist the clothes that were still a little wet on his body, and complained:
"Alas, my friend told me that the weather in Yunnan is very different, so I should be careful when I am in a hurry, so as not to get caught in the rain. But I didn't expect to be photographed on the road by the torrential rain. ā
The owner of the tea stall and a few of the guests glanced at him, then stopped looking at him.
Mu Xiaojiu glanced at those people with his peripheral vision, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.
Don't open your mouth? Naturally, I have a way of getting you to speak.
"By the way, boss, I saw a lot of corpses on the road before, which scared me out, do you often have fights on this official road?" Mu Xiaojiu pretended to be casual, as if he was just saying it casually.
The tea stall owner frowned, walked to Mu Xiaojiu's side, and put on that smiling look again, "Guest officer, I don't know what kind of clothes those corpses you said?" ā
Mu Xiaojiu touched his chin, "Some are men in black, and some are strong men, they look like rivers and lakes are fighting, with blood all over the place." ā
Mu Xiaojiu, who had been staring at the face of the tea stall owner, sneered in his heart, old fox, show your feet.
Because, the moment he said the man in black, the tea stall owner's eyes showed a look of surprise, and in the surprise, there was some joy.
Rejoice in what? A real tea stall owner would not be happy because someone was fighting, and the guy in front of him was obviously pleased that Mu Xiaojiu did not say that there was a dart car at the scene.
The owner of the tea stall knew very well that of all the items escorted by the entire dart team, the only thing of real value was a painting. He also knew that no one who had their eyes on this dart team would take the dart cart with them.
Therefore, he will be happy, because the dart cart was not robbed, which means that the side of the man in black has failed, but the strength of the dart team has also been damaged.
Mu Xiaojiu looked at the tea stall owner in front of him, and secretly calculated in his heart, if there is a problem with the person who buys fruit, then the person who buys fruit must also have a problem, and the vendor who buys fruit will not grind with the customer for so long; The owner of the tea stall had a problem, and so did the guests of the tea stall, and after sitting on the stone himself, he caught a glimpse of the tea stall owner and a few of the guests having made brief eye contact; So, among these people in the vicinity now, there are only seven or eight Orions who are talking to each other.
Orion......
There are problems too!
Hmph, sneak a look at me from time to time, do you really think I didn't find out? As a hunter, it is normal to carry bows and arrows, but those bows don't look like they are used by hunters, all bows are actually of a uniform style, and the arrows are all made of pure steel, the arrows are small and pointed, and there are two barbed small blades of point steel arrows.
When did Orion become so rich?
"Little brother, I think it's good today, you might as well get on the road early, so as to save a while in the rain and have no way to go."
Looking at the fake smile of the tea stall owner, Mu Xiaojiu also smiled, and then took out the dong flute.
"Well, okay, but I'd like to use this place to play a song first."
Although the owner of the tea stall thought it was strange, he didn't want to say anything, he just felt that this person was a little strange, but he shouldn't delay too long to play a tune, so he simply left it to him.
