"Haha, I really want to see He Wen's look when he learned that the sword was gone!" Wei Jing couldn't help but laugh wildly. Regardless of the scabbards still left in the iron shop, he casually took out a piece of clothing from the bag behind his back and wrapped the two swords. , detoured to the outside of the iron shop to call Ah Xi who was waiting for him outside the shop.
Wei Jing walked around to the outside of the iron shop and heard the shouts of the waiters inside. He was about to call out to Ah Xi when he suddenly felt like he was struck by thunder.
There were three or four people standing on one side of the street. One of them was He Wen, and the others were his followers. Most of them were injured, and they were all injured during the battle with Wei Jing and Gongsun Yao in Fuguiju.
Ah Xi was surrounded by several people. He lay on the ground and kept wailing. One of his legs was bent as if a broken bone.
"Ah Xi!" Wei Jing shouted and rushed forward.
"Brother, that kid is here!" He Wen's followers shouted when they saw Wei Jing rushing over. It turned out that He Wen and his entourage came to this iron shop to repair their swords. As soon as they stepped out of the iron shop and were about to leave, several followers bought some snacks and wine to greet them. One of them recognized Wei Jing from the battle in Fuguiju. Ah Xi was nesting in a corner outside the iron shop.
When Wei Jing was struggling in the store, He Wen and a group of people took Ah Xi aside, broke his legs, and waited for Wei Jing to come find him.
"Ah, boy! You're finally here. You made us wait for so long. What do you think you deserve?" He Wen yawned and laughed. The followers on the side also followed suit, shouting: "Haha, you want to stay?" The next hand or the kick?", "Where is the other guy? Where is he?"
One of the followers shouted and stepped on Ah Xi's broken leg, causing Ah Xi to wail in pain.
At this time, there was also a commotion in the iron shop. When the waiter came out to pour tea, Wei Jing could not be found. The two swords on the table were gone, so he had to tell the boss. The boss and the waiter were so scared that they lost their wits. They heard Wei Jing's shouting outside and came out. When they saw Wei Jing, they both shouted: "He is there, the sword is in his hand!", "Brother He, he Stole your sword!"
He Wen was startled and saw that Wei Jing was holding two swords in his hands, the blades of which were wrapped in clothes.
"Don't come here!" Wei Jing yelled, tore off the clothes that were wrapped around the sword, grabbed the two swords and ran to a well on the roadside, shouting: "He Wen, let Ah Xi go, I'll take the sword Give it back to you!"
"Good boy...good boy!" He Wen was extremely angry, but he saw Wei Jing holding up his sword and preparing to throw it into the well. The well was deep and narrow, and the water was five or six percent full. If the sword was thrown down, , but it would take several days to drain the well before he could get it back. At that time, it was already beyond the time limit that Man Quanli had given him to repair the sword.
"Okay, let's return the dog to you." He Wen said bitterly and winked at the follower. The follower snorted twice and picked up Ah Xi. His actions were rough and touched Ah Xi's broken leg. Ah Xi whined repeatedly. , The broken leg couldn’t help but tremble.
"Everyone else, don't come. Just carry Ah Xi over alone. I'll hand the sword to him!" Wei Jing shouted. He felt very sad when he saw Ah Xi in pain. Ah Xi is his family's old dog, as old as him. Wei Jing has been playing with Ah Xi as long as he can remember, like a family member.
"Don't irritate him. The sword is much more important than the smelly dog." He Wen ordered the follower in a low voice. The follower responded a few times and walked towards Wei Jing with Ah Xi in his arms.
Wei Jing also placed his two swords on the well and stepped away step by step. When the follower saw him, he took a few steps forward.
"Ah Xi, bite his stinky hand!" Wei Jing suddenly shouted when he saw that the follower was not far away from him. Ah Xi, who was originally trembling in pain, heard his master's call and really became fierce and bit the follower on the wrist.
The attendant was paying close attention to Wei Jing, fearing that he would keep his word and throw the sword down the well because of the dog. However, seeing Wei Jing step away from the well step by step, he gradually felt relieved. When he was about to approach the well, he got the sword and threw the dog into the well. He forgot that the Ah Xi in his hand was a living creature and knew how to listen to his master's orders, so he bit him viciously. The follower felt a sharp pain in his wrist. As soon as he relaxed, Ah Xi had already jumped to the ground. Although one leg was broken, he still tried his best to run towards Wei Jing with the other three legs.
While shouting, Wei Jing also ran forward. When He Wen and others were shocked to realize that the situation had changed, he raised his legs and kicked the two swords placed on the well into the well, and then picked up Ah Xi who was running towards him. , turned around and ran away.
"What a disgusting brat!", "Catch him and kill him!", "Pick up the sword quickly!" A group of gang members yelled and wanted to chase him. Although He Wen was extremely angry, he still shouted to stop and ordered them to find a way to draw water to save the sword.
****************
Wei Jing ran away helplessly, and Ah Xi in his arms let out wailing sounds as Wei Jing ran. Wei Jing ran away for a while, until his arms holding Ah Xi were so sore that he turned his head repeatedly to see that no one was chasing him, so he put Ah Xi down in an old alley and searched for him among the debris in the corner. He picked up a small piece of wood, then used an eight-handed knife to cut open a piece of clothing, and bandaged Ah Xi's broken front leg tightly, comforting him from time to time: "Poor Ah Xi, those evil people are so disgusting, they will cut your leg off." It’s broken…”
Wei Jing felt sad and scared at the same time. He looked outside from time to time and saw several members of the Chuangtianmen gang coming. Although those gang members were not necessarily related to He Wen, he felt guilty and scared after all, so he picked up Ah Xi. Then run away. After walking for a few streets, I gradually felt that my arms were so sore that I had to stop and rest again. I still saw two or three members of the Tianmen Clan walking by from time to time in front and back of the trail.
He knew that Chuangtianmen was the largest gang in the lake, and there were members of the Chuangtianmen gang everywhere in the downtown area. In the original plan, after staying in Fugui for ten days and a half, Mr. Wang would arrange a carriage to take him back to Xiaoyuan Village. Wei Jing had not thought carefully about the way to return home, although he vaguely remembered the carriage that got off the bus. Station, but as he was fleeing here and there, he was confused about where he was, and he didn't know where the Duoma Station was. He was also afraid of running into the Chuangtianmen gang on the street, so he was at a loss for a moment.
Wei Jing scratched his head repeatedly and was about to ask passers-by for directions when he suddenly saw a small road name board standing at the entrance of an inconspicuous alley in front of him, with "Lushui Street" written on it.
Wei Jing suddenly remembered what the old woman said last night. He hurriedly dug through his bag and took out Bei Xiaolu's handkerchief. He looked at the words on it and then at the board at the entrance of the alley. It turned out that he was running away in the city. After wandering around, I found one of the entrances to the "underground lake" that the old woman said.
In fact, as the situation has evolved so far, even if it doesn't happen to happen, he will think of that handkerchief sooner or later. Ah Xi's leg was seriously injured. Even if he found Duoma Station, Wei Jing would not bear to let Ah Xi endure another day and night of bumpy driving and walk for more than half a day back to Xiaoyuan Village.
Wei Jing sighed and said to Ah Xi in his arms: "Ah Xi, Ah Xi, I will take you to hide for a few days. When your legs are better, you can go back to Xiaoyuan Village. We will never come to this terrible place again." .”
Wei Jing held Ah Xi and walked into Qushui Street. Lushui Street is not far from the downtown area, but it is not as prosperous as other streets. Most of the streets on both sides are low brick houses, which are dull and dead, as if they have been abandoned for a long time.
As Ah Feng said, the people on Lushui Street do look a little different, with sharp eyes, and most of them are carrying bags on their backs. Wei Jing wanted to find some people to ask where the dry well was, but as soon as he got close to those people, he smelled a special odor, like musty smell.
Wei Jing hesitated and wandered for a long time, following the people who turned into the alley from outside. He thought that if this was a passage leading to some "underground lake", there must be people coming in and out. With the crowd, Wei Jing hesitated. If you look for it, you will definitely find it.
Sure enough, at a corner at the end of Lushui Street, a tent was erected there. Under the tent was a dry well. It was said to be a dry well, but the top of the well was covered with wooden boards and filled with debris. There were some vendors wearing hats around, selling tea, snacks, groceries and the like.
Wei Jing approached silently and saw several broken houses on both sides of the dry well. The small wooden doors on the wall opened and closed, and people kept coming in and out.
Wei Jing was thirsty and bought a cup of herbal tea from an old vendor. As soon as he drank it, he smelled a strong musty smell and almost spit it out, but he finally swallowed it.
"Come from out of town? This is your first time here? A young man injured a rich man and you want to take refuge?" The vendor looked at Wei Jing coldly and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Well... I've made a grudge with someone, so I'm going to hang out for a few days." Wei Jing didn't want to waste time explaining to him, so he responded casually.
