XXXIII. Fleeing
Old man Shi was seriously injured, escaped with his life, fell ill on the street, and was dying. Some of the passers-by also saw it, but in those years, there was a shortage of soldiers, and there were dead children on the streets every day, and people were too busy to take care of themselves, and no one cared about him. Seeing that the old man had only one breath left, he ran into Li Fu. Although Li Bald is a very bad person, he has one benefit, that is, filial piety, his mother died early since he was a child, and he really has no choice for his old father. It's also an inch, Li Fu's father just died a few days ago, this kid can't eat and drink for a few days, his soul can't keep his soul, today I look at this old man who is dying, my heart is bright, it is also fate, the old man Shi is the same as Li Fu's father! Li Fu saw things and thought about people, and couldn't help but be kind, and carried the old man Shi home, making rice and white noodles every day, so that he could live and raise. Although the old man Shi has a dark heart, but after all, he is old, and his heart of fighting and fighting is much lighter, he has been lonely all his life, and when he is about to meet Li Fu, he serves him like his own father, how can he not be emotional? Although Li Fu did not learn his evil method, he also made a fortune, not only became a tyrant in Shandong, but also coveted Tianjin and wanted to occupy a place.
Although the old man Shi was old, he was very eloquent, and he spoke slowly from beginning to end, and he actually fascinated the three of them. After the old man finished speaking, he gasped for a while, and said with a wry smile: "When my two masters were dying, they left two verses, saying that I was 'in trouble with fortune and disaster, and lost my life in Tianshui', I couldn't figure out the previous sentence at the time, how can people turn the source of blessing into a disaster, as for the latter sentence, I thought it was about the Northwest Tianshui City, and I didn't dare to go to the northwest ground if I was killed in this life, but now I have been broken by a few of your juniors, and if I think about it carefully, it is all wrong!" ”
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know what this old man meant, and the three rats preemptively said: "Old man, what kind of tricks are you playing, sue you, the water thieves cross the river to make the dog plane, and the brothers are also old people who are mixed with the rivers and lakes, all of them have eaten and seen, don't come to that set of smoke and cannon ghosts to blow out the lanterns, if you have anything to say, quickly explain, and send you on the road after speaking!" ”
The old man smiled bitterly again, ignored the three rats, and said to himself: "The two sentences that the master said actually mean something else, the so-called 'good fortune and woe' refers to Li Fu, I have formed a bad relationship since I met Li Fu, and since then I have been evil everywhere, and gradually the cycle of heavenly law will be retribution to my head, and the sentence 'Tianshui' is not Gansu Tianshui, but Tianjin, Tianjin and water,' It seems that the master has already known my life, but it's a pity that I am in the bureau, I don't know how to turn back, and finally I have come to this point today! The old man said that, evoking a sad past, and couldn't help but cry and cry.
Although the three of them are all gangsters in the rivers and lakes, they are not bad at heart after all, although they met the old man just now, and now they see him in tears, and he is a handful of years, not to mention that he is over ninety years old, and his heart is a little soft. According to Ma Wu, the old man was too old, he was seriously injured, and the white-eyed pit was also dead, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do evil in the future, and he would not live for a few days, so he simply spared it. The three rats are fierce, but they are actually soft-hearted, so they have the heart to agree. Niu Erzhu didn't want to be this villain, but he carefully checked the old man's expression and found that although he was heartbroken, his eyes were rolling around, and his expression was sad with a hint of cunning, so he couldn't help muttering in his heart, and said in his heart: "Don't be busy, this old guy is not an ordinary old man, he even dared to start with his benefactor because he saved himself, and killed a hundred and ten people for a few beatings, where is it so easy to find out with a conscience?" I'm afraid there are still some tricks! Thinking of this, I looked up at the old man again, only to see that his wrinkled old face suddenly changed, showing a cunning look, the second pillar was not good, and hurriedly grabbed Ma Wu and the third mouse, turned around and was about to retreat, but it was too late, only to see that the old man suddenly opened his mouth, and a thing shot out with blood.
Suddenly, the three of them couldn't dodge and were secretly complaining, but the thing didn't come to them, but shot straight at the human head chime on the table. Niu Erzhu's reaction was also very agile, and he suddenly understood Old Man Shi's intentions, but he couldn't reach the whip, and he didn't have time to stop it. Only to hear a sonorous sound, the human head chime emitted a burst of blue light, the strange sound was loud, even if the three of them were prepared, they were also shocked to the eardrum of severe pain, even dizzy, delirious, and in the blink of an eye, they did not know the southeast and northwest.
The three of them fell into the fog, confused for a while, and then gradually woke up, it turned out that the old man was seriously injured, and the jujube kernel dart was attacked, and it was the end of the strong crossbow. Although the old man struck hard, after all, the strength was insufficient, and he did not use the leg bone magic weapon, so the power was limited, so the three of them could wake up on their own. The three of them were stunned for a while, and then they recovered, and when they looked at it, the human head chime was hit by the old man with a hole, obviously it had broken the law, and it could no longer be used. The three of them couldn't help but get goosebumps, the roots of their teeth were sour, and they had lingering palpitations at Old Man Shi's viciousness.
Old man Shi has already left, it's too late to catch up, and even if he really catches up, with his viciousness, the three of them may not be able to subdue him. Since they entered the Shandong Gang, I don't know how long it has been delayed, it is better to go back as soon as possible to report the news, since the other party is ruthless, it is better to ask Ma Siye to prepare early.
After making up their minds, the three of them walked out of the house quickly, and before leaving, they walked around a few times, only to find that this place was originally a basement, with no less than ten single rooms left and right, and each single room contained a large earthen kang with eight living corpses on the kang. The three of them felt a chill in their hearts, and the old man Shi was also a little big, if they directly aroused the living corpses and attacked them in groups, how could they have their lives? The three of them thought about it, although Old Man Shi escaped, but this is his lair, it is inevitable to go and return, these or keep them is also a disaster, it is better to take advantage of this to eliminate the disaster. The three rats agreed with this, and he also had a trick, taking off his shirt and lighting it with an oil lamp, and lighting a torch everywhere. Although it was underground, it was also dry and ventilated, and after a while, the flames were soaring, and the three of them only felt that the heat wave was blowing on their faces, and they couldn't stay any longer, so they hurriedly turned around and fled for their lives. By the light of the fire, the three of them had a clear view of the layout of the corpse cellar, there was a corridor outside the single room, and at the end of the corridor was the steps, as long as they stepped on the steps, the three of them could get out of danger and escape.
Without further ado, the three of them rushed up the steps in three steps and two steps, Niu Erzhu was the most anxious and ran the fastest. Seeing that there was a big iron gate at the end of the steps, it was probably the exit, the three of them were overjoyed, Niu Erzhu stepped to the end of the steps in a few steps, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hand to push! It doesn't matter if this push is made, Da Shao's face suddenly turned pale, there was no blood at all, he hurriedly turned around, and shouted to the two people behind him: "It's not good, there is fraud here, run back quickly!" ”
