The next day, Xiaowuzi and Cao Shangfei went to Mazi's place to go through the formalities, which probably meant being released on bail pending trial, and then brought Bayin back. This had to be done quickly to avoid a long night and many dreams.
Bayin's home is just behind the blacksmith's furnace. It has three thatched houses and is made of leather. Bayin is a lazy guy, and her missing daughter-in-law doesn't seem to be a diligent person either.
The old blacksmith came, brought some medicine, and applied medicine to all the wounds on Bayin's body. Looking at him like that, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Bayin raised his head and said: "Master, don't be sad. It will be fine after just two days. I will respect you well from now on and never make you angry again."
The old blacksmith let out a long sigh, turned around and left.
Bayin said to Xiaowuzi: "Brother, I still don't know what your name is? I will remember this life-saving grace."
Cao Shangfei stood aside and said to Bayin: "This is our eldest brother, the fifth brother. We are definitely good buddies. We have known each other for a long time."
Xiaowuzi smiled. When did he become his boss? But now that Bayin has come out, he has to tell him about Ji Hua.
Xiaowuzi told Bayin how he met Ji Hua and who Ji Hua was. He didn't even hide Ji Hua's death from him.
After hearing this, Bayin lay on the kang and cried silently. After a long time, he choked and said that his father and mother died early when he was a child. Years later, we could never see each other again. We cried while talking, a grown man crying like a child.
Seeing how sad he was, Xiao Wuzi changed the subject and asked him: "Did your wife run away with someone or was she kidnapped? How did she disappear? Can you tell me?
Bayin put away his tears and turned to look at Cao Shangfei. Cao Shangfei nodded. Then Bayin said: "Brother, you are not an outsider. Let me tell you the truth. I killed that slut." , stuck in a hole in the ice of the Daling River."
Only then did Xiaowuzi understand. He said that Ji Hua's biological brother couldn't be too different from Ji Hua! To be so cowardly? That's right, the ruthlessness is still there. Bayin usually gives people the impression of being an honest and responsible person. Everyone believes that he did not kill the person, but the Japanese guessed it right.
Xiao Wuzi said: "Take good care of yourself. The trouble has been solved. It will be fine if you don't make too much of a show in the future. We have to go. We have been delayed these days just for you."
Bayin asked Xiaowuzi where he was going. The fifth child said that he would go to Guanli to join the Eighth Route Army. Bayin said, "Take me with you? I have strength and can do anything. My master has a junior brother here. My brother died fighting the Japanese, and I, the younger brother, can't do it either." You're too cowardly, aren't you? I can't pay the money for my ransom, so I have to sacrifice my life to pay you back."
Caoshang Fei also said: "I have also decided to go with you. I will follow you wherever you go, and you don't need to support me. This is a business that does not lose money."
Xiaowuzi thought about it and realized that there was no problem, so he agreed, but if he took them away, he would have to stay for a few more days and let Bayin recover from his injuries before leaving.
So Xiao Wuzi and his party stayed in Chaoyang for more than ten days. Cao Shangfei also got a carriage from somewhere. It must not have been stolen. Judging from his strength, he must have bought it. He, Zhang San and Lao Nada said that both he and Bayin were leaving, but the two brothers could not leave because they both had wives and children, so they could only have another drink with their good brothers and say goodbye.
Bayin's physical fitness was quite good. After all, he was a blacksmith. He was full of energy and energy again in just a few days. Before going to Jin Liang, he borrowed some money and sent it to the old blacksmith. He kowtowed to his master a few times and said goodbye with tears.
Young Master Jin Liang is like a living map. He keeps in mind which direction he goes and where there are mountains and waters. Along the way, he keeps teaching Xiaowuzi and Erniu some geographical knowledge, saying that they have now entered the Yanshan Mountains. From here to Yanshan is bordered by Taihang Mountain to the west. The first stop of their trip was Chengde, where Jin Liang had been when he was a child.
Cao Shangfei, a clever guy, couldn't read a word, but Bayin, a blacksmith, knew how to read, which surprised Xiaowuzi and the others.
Bayin said that his literacy was taught by his elder brother. The two brothers had no parents and could not afford to go to school, so his elder brother worked part-time jobs to support him. When he worked for Mr. Ji, who was teaching, Mr. Ji liked this sensible person very much. He was a smart boy, and he would be taken with him wherever he went. After Ji Hua learned knowledge, he would teach his younger brother when he came home. If he didn't learn, he would beat him, and he would beat his younger brother into a cultured person.
Xiaowuzi and the others brought five guns with them when they came out. He and Erniu each had two guns. They also brought one for Jin Liang. When they were in Xinmin, they picked up another gun brand. Now they have six guns.
Xiaowuzi knew that Cao Shangfei knew how to play with guns, so he gave him his box gun and asked Bayin if he knew how to shoot. Bayin smiled bitterly and said that he had never used one but always wanted to get a gun to play with.
Which man in this era doesn’t have the dream of playing with a gun?
Xiaowuzi gave him another box cannon and asked Cao Shangfei to teach him how to use it.
Bayin was a blacksmith, and he was very good at using iron. Xiaowuzi gave him some bullets to practice with. After all, they were walking on mountain roads, and they could hunt and get some game from time to time.
Bayin also grew up in a mountainous area, so he didn't even need a gun when hunting rabbits or hunting pheasants, and his harvest in a few days was no worse than that of Xiao Wuzi.
After passing Lingyuan, they unexpectedly ran into the robbers on the mountain road. The four of them looked like two Japanese soldiers and two Manchukuo security forces. The two Japanese soldiers were carrying pistols but did not take them out. Carrying a tripod and some things like telescopes, the two security guards each carried a Hanyang made and forced their two carriages to stop.
Xiao Wuzi and Er Niu were not wearing police uniforms, while Jin Liang was wearing a satin robe and horse hanging. They were driving a covered carriage, and they looked like fat sheep.
These two Japanese were probably out to do surveying and mapping, and the two security forces were there to protect them. It was really hard to work in the field in this cold weather. It was not easy to see the fat sheep passing by. These people must have acted on the spur of the moment. , intending to rip them off, and rob them as a last resort. Anyway, with the Empire of Japan as their backer, who dares to say anything?
Four people came over, and the two Japanese didn't say anything. They looked at the two security guards with smiles as they came to blackmail the group.
"What are you doing? What's in the car? Is it contraband? Come down and get checked."
Xiao Wuzi was familiar with this routine. He had already put the gun on his back and started firing, with a smile on his lips.
Er Niu and he were old partners. He knew what Xiao Wuzi was going to do as soon as he saw his movements, and he opened the gun bolt from the back.
Jin Liang did not move in the car, but raised his head and said a few words in Japanese to the two Japanese. The two Japanese were stunned on the spot, and the two security guards were also stunned. How could they have beaten the Japanese? ?
What Xiao Wuzi and Er Niu wanted was their moment of confusion. They raised their hands and fired two shots. They knew which person to hit without saying a word.
Both Japanese were shot in the head and fell on their backs. They died without even taking out their guns.
The two security guards reacted quickly. They immediately raised their guns high above their heads, knelt on the ground and yelled, "Grandpa, spare your life."
Cao Shangfei and Bayin went over and fired their guns. Xiao Wuzi said to them: "Answer me a few questions and I won't kill you."
When the two security guards heard that their lives would be spared, they kept kowtowing and said, "You can ask, I promise you, I can tell you anything. If you tell a lie, you will be struck by thunder."
Xiaowuzi said: "Where is this? What do you do? Why do you want to rob us?"
"This is already the boundary of Pingquan, but it is still Rehe Province. These two imperial troops were sent out by Chengde for surveying and mapping. We are their bodyguards. No, you look like rich people. Yes. If we want to grab some Wailuo, of course the imperial army will have to take the bulk, so we can only divide it between three melons and two dates."
Xiaowuzi understood the whole story, and it was pretty much what he thought. He said to them: "You run away. How far you run depends on your ability. I said I won't kill you." After saying that, he put away his gun. When the two security guards saw this, they ran away, running faster and faster. The rabbit is still fast.
Cao Shangfei and Bayin had already raised their guns, and "bang, bang" two shots were fired. The two security guards who ran more than ten steps were shot in the back and fell down on the mountain road with residual snow.
They found the bodies of the four people and threw them into a deep ditch. They turned over them and found that they were all poor people, including two Japanese. Otherwise, they would not be interested in making money.
However, the guns of the two Japanese are very special. They look very similar to the southern tortoise box. If you look closely, they are Ruger made in Germany. The Japanese tortoise box is an imitation of this kind of gun. However, the gun made in Germany is better than the tortoise box. It's much easier.
In their satchels was a map that had been drawn. The mountains and rivers of Jehol Province were drawn very carefully. Could it be that the ambition of the little Japanese was very great? They have considered Manchukuo their home.
Maps have always been a treasure in military affairs, and they are much more useful than telescopes. Xiaowuzi put it away cherishedly, while Erniu happily hung the high-power telescope around his neck.
The group finally arrived in Chengde on a gloomy afternoon. It was about five or six hundred miles from Chaoyang to Chengde, and they actually walked for half a month. I had no choice but to walk on mountainous roads, but luckily it was safe. Except for a few robbers, most of the time this road was uneventful.
Chengde, also known as Rehe. In the first year of Yongzheng's reign, Rehe Hall was established. In the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign, on the 80th anniversary of the birth of the Holy Ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongzheng changed the Rehe Hall to Chengde Zhili Prefecture, which was originally called "Chengde" with the intention of "inheriting the virtues of our ancestors". .
Jin Liang's surname is Aixinjueluo, and he is a genuine Manchu yellow belt. He came to Chengde when he was a child, when he was still a little Belle.
This time he couldn't stay in a big car shop. Jin Liang's family actually owned property here, but he didn't dare to show up, so he found a larger hotel to stay.
When the brothers went out to eat, Jin Liang saw a person on the street. He immediately became stunned and trembled all over. He turned around and said to Xiao Wuzi tremblingly: "Wuzi, look over there. I didn't recognize the wrong person." ?”
