The carriages and horses had just rested, but the old coachman quickly tied up the horses, pulled out a few black handkerchiefs from his arms, and held them against the eyes of the horses. I am afraid that this is a horse that specializes in running over mountains and rivers. He has never seen such a thing. The horses in the deadly fight were frightened, and it took most of their strength to calm them down and sit aside to pant.
Although the appearance of these horses is still good, their leg strength is slightly higher than that of ordinary horses, and they can run for a day or two without much signs of decay. However, they are still very tired at the moment. Blood and water splashed, and it was naturally difficult to move. His hoofs and feet were trembling with neighing noises. If it weren't for the old coachman's tricks, let alone calming down the panic, he would have broken free of the rope.
"I have been granted a lot of money for this business, but in our opinion it is too dangerous. We have only been out of Sutai County for a few days, and we encountered such an attack and murder. Fortunately, the three people barely supported us. Nothing has gone wrong. But there is still quite a long way to go to the capital. One chance to survive, but if we meet again three or five times, I am afraid that the four of us will not be able to save our lives. By then, no matter how much we earn, Thousands of taels of silver, after all, will end up with no life, but as the young master said clearly, it is better to hire someone else to make a living this time. If it really costs my life and a few others, it will be more than the gain is worth the loss."
The man who spoke was still frightened. Just now, when the group of thieves who were cutting the path were fighting with several people guarding the carriage, one of the thieves was only five steps away from the carriage tent. Shengsheng taught a swordsman to cut off half of his head, and the red and white blood almost spattered. As for the man's face, he was almost frightened to death. His stomach was still churning after being calm for a long time. Now he has no time to speak, his face is earth-colored and his whole body is covered with chaff.
"You kid, please think carefully before you speak." The old man glanced at you, "You are still not married. You are free and easy every day. You have enough to eat and don't worry about the family. The other two have only been married for less than two years. They are just a waste of money. Given my age, the money given by this young master is quite generous. In normal times, even if you stretch across the whole car and drive for more than ten years, you may not be able to get so much money. You kid doesn't want it, but these two are in urgent need of it."
"But no one knew that they could encounter such a thing before. This group of thieves are quite skilled. They have never succeeded this time. If they keep an eye on them from a distance and come back to kill them again after three or two days, with this Even with a small number of people, even if they are very skilled, they may not be able to withstand it." After thinking for a while, the other two men also spoke, frowning and said, "The two of us are indeed eager to ask for money now, but I am afraid that this money has a destiny. You may lose your life, and in the end, you will end up losing all your personal wealth, and the gain will outweigh the loss.”
The old man also hesitated, and finally took out the wine bag from his arms, which was already very dark and shiny, and drank two or three sips. Then he sighed deeply, rubbed his hands awkwardly, smacked his mouth twice, and struggled to say something. Come, "Why don't I, old man, go and have a discussion with that young master? When we get to the thirty or fifty miles ahead, we will quit this business. Although money is heavy, it is not worth more than life."
In the car tent, Xing Wuxia slowly woke up. The earlier fighting did not wake up the tired middle-aged bookkeeper. At this moment, he rubbed his eyes and was very confused about the commotion outside and the few people who had made mistakes in the world. Hum. Xun Yuantuo, however, was very patient and told Xing Wuxia what had just happened one by one. He asked Xing Wuxia whether he was going to stay today or not. "Although the money is heavy, based on my guess, the old man at the head and the coachman who is not yet married will probably have to stay until the time of collecting the money. As for the other two men who have just been married, I personally think that most of them will save their lives, and they will probably have to Leave first." Although he was very surprised that the young master in front of him was sure that he would subdue him today, after thinking about it for a moment, Xing Wuxia still said this. After all, those who care less about things are more courageous, and those who care less about things are more likely to want to do something. He was much timid, and besides, he had never noticed the dangerous situation just now, and always felt that it should not be considered dangerous.
"Half of a guess is right," Xun Yuantuo still sat up straight, placed the chess game in front of him in the palm of his hand, raised his head slightly and smiled, but did not say more, but changed the subject, "Since you have rested properly, Why don't we talk about two games together? This is the perfect time to kill the time."
Xing Wuxia grinned, but he really agreed and didn't do anything to evade or give in.
After a game of chess, Xing Wuxia lost three pieces and was satisfied. He immediately stopped talking and stepped out of the car. Taking advantage of the break, he went to his wife's car tent to have a look.
To put it into detail, Xing Wuxia's chess skills are not that weak. Apart from the minor details, his ability to observe the general trend and make clever moves is not necessarily much worse. However, he is unwilling to take risks when playing chess, and is particularly cautious. Playing against Xun Yuantuo's changeable chess style, it is natural that he is unable to cope with it. However, since he came out of Sutai County, this bookkeeper who has been working hard for many years has accumulated a lot of experience. He put aside many unnecessary thoughts and suddenly raised his courage. He made several risky moves and reached the middle of the game. At this time, it was Xun Yuantuo who had a slight advantage.
"After all, it's a little bit less vulgar, but it's a pity that it's not enough." Xun Yuantuo smiled to himself, his figure did not move, the black and white pieces were hanging in the air, they all seemed to be children returning home, and the baby swallows returned to their nests, and they all fell into the chess box. .
As for the thieves who were captured alive by the man and were still kneeling outside the car tent, Xun Yuantuo was not in a hurry to step forward to ask, nor was he worried about the two men escaping. It turned out that the man had already thrown the two men to the ground. It was the power of the two feet that broke off the legs and feet of two people. Now even if no one is watching, I am afraid that it will not be possible to recover for a while.
Two of the Jianghu people were seriously injured. One was stabbed an inch into the shoulder socket with a heavy knife, which probably shattered his collarbone. He was obviously wearing thin clothes. Now he is sweating from the pain and bleeding is pouring out, which is difficult to stop. The two people on the left and right held the knife edge with difficulty, but blood still spurted out; the other one suffered more serious injuries, because one of the gang of path-cutting thieves was good at using scratch hooks, and took advantage of the wrong time to hang the scratch hook into this person. Between the waist and abdomen, the horse was driven away, tearing open extremely deep ravines, and blood flowed like a stream without stopping for a moment.
Most of the people in the world of rivers and lakes suffered injuries, and most of them did it hastily. First of all, the price of the quick-acting golden sore medicine was extremely high, and they really didn’t have the spare money to buy it. They were used to traveling in the world of rivers and lakes. In fact, they never suffered such heavy losses in the end. Most of them were due to one party’s conscious ability. However, after being slightly hurt, he already said two harsh words and left without looking back. In the final analysis, Shang Qi Jianghu's spirit is not as good as that of Qi Ling or Yizhang, who often have life and death battles. On the contrary, in recent years, Jianghu has become less like Jianghu and more like young people who are brave and fierce. A place with only a few names.
"Such a healing method will bring you closer to death. It's better to throw these two people here to fend for themselves." The man with strangely broad shoulders put aside the knife he had snatched and stepped forward, but it was He didn't bother to speak, "Who taught you the method of covering the wound with a dirty cloth? In the end, even if you can barely stop the bleeding, if you haven't met a wise doctor for three days or two, the area of the wound must be There are so many ulcers that he may not be able to hold on for even a few days before he is about to die. He is supposedly a person who has been traveling around the world for many years, so how come he doesn’t even know this method?"
Most of the men looked dull and taciturn. Even though they were mocked and ridiculed by the crowd before, they never said a few words. However, they were really brave when they took action. Now they stepped forward and immediately attracted the glares of the people around them, but they did not No one came to stop him, so the man walked into the circle, took out a water bag from his personal bag, leaned down, and poured two cups of water onto the injured areas of the two people.
The smell of alcohol overflowed, and even though the two of them howled miserably, the man didn't pay attention to the frowns of the people around him, and even almost drew his sword. Instead, he took two neat cloth handkerchiefs from the package under his body and carried his power. He tore off some lines, then whistled, took the square porcelain bottle from the two men sitting on the saddle, first sprinkled the medicine powder and then wrapped it with a cloth handkerchief, and then slowly stood up.
"I have quite a few gold sore medicines I brought with me when I went out. If you are still not cured in three to five days, just come and ask for it on your own. It is not easy to earn some money in the world. If you risk your life again, there is no reason for you. There are many things that need to be paid attention to, but in fact there is no disadvantage and it is not cumbersome.”
Sure enough, after the man applied the golden sore medicine, the two seriously injured people soon stopped wailing and fell asleep. The blood on their faces became more and more intense, and they felt much better than before.
However, the man still did not leave. Instead, he was stopped by a man carrying a knife who was the leader among the Jianghu people. Seeing the man frowning, he raised his hands and saluted and said with a smile, "Don't be hostile. I am going to Cuimen from the south of Shangqi Road." Here, the Wei Mo gang doesn’t have much of a reputation, but they are very curious about where brother Xiong learned his skills. After all, he saved the lives of two brothers, so he came to express his gratitude."
"Soldiers who have only been in the army for two or three years actually know how to bandage wounds. The weather is getting warm now. If the cloth is unclean, it will inevitably fester."
But the man carrying the sword shook his head, "First of all, I ordered Cuimen to have some gang members who had served in the army. No one has ever known about such a bandaging method. It seems to be quite sophisticated, but if you don't want to mention it, just Just treat what I said below as nonsense, you know the rules."
"In fact, there is not much difference between people in the Jianghu and the army, so how can we look down on it." The man rarely showed a smile on his face, shook his head and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to mention it, but Now that I'm no longer in the military, it's hard to force myself to say some things, but I can still share a few words with my brothers."
"As the saying goes, there is no horse in the Qi Dynasty, but it is only the sword in the Qi Dynasty. It is not necessarily inferior to the Yuan Dynasty."
The man carrying the knife thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but feel moved. He looked at the back of the man who pulled away and muttered for a while.
Immediately, blood and water poured in, rushing down from the Tianling Cap.
