The black gold gradually sinks, the sunset glows through the clouds, the huge cave clear lake is as flat as a mirror, and is freely colored by the color of glass.
This small village on the shore of Dongqing Lake had been quiet for several years, but in the past few days it has welcomed waves of visitors from far away.
Another group of about ten people came, crossed the bridge and entered the village through the narrow dirt road in the northeast of the village.
Looking at the freshness of the dried salted fish, one person said in a strong northwest accent: "Sir, there are really people living here. That Cai He didn't lie to us."
The man called "Master" actually looks like he is in his early twenties, with a fair face, fine skin and tender flesh. He has no expression. He looks around, as if he has not heard the words of his men, and inadvertently reveals a touch of dissatisfaction.
Joy.
The dirt road is difficult to walk on, and the horses' hooves are ticking, so you can pass slowly.
Unlike the silence outside the village, the atmosphere inside the village was solemn and on the verge of breaking out.
There are less than twenty elderly people in the village, all of whom are very old. Some are hiding in their houses, while others are gathering together, looking at the small houses on the other side from a distance.
The two men had gone in half a quarter of an hour ago. I don't know what they were talking about, but suddenly they had a conflict. They saw Yang Fugui, who stayed here last night, holding a kitchen knife and cutting them out.
Yang Fugui didn't dare to actually chop, the kitchen knife was dangling in his hand, his butt was pushed back high, and he gestured with the handle of the knife from time to time: "Get out of here! Don't bother me again. If you bother me again, I'll really chop him!"
The two men had sharp eyes, and they could tell each other's skills from just a few moves.
One person stepped forward, almost impatient: "I'll ask you finally, where does Miss Zhi live in Hejing?"
"Get out!" Yang Fugui said.
"Brother, we don't mean any harm," said the fatter man next to him.
"There's no malicious intent! You just threatened me with the old woman in your words, and I'm not stupid!"
"Yes!" The old woman behind her angrily held her crutches down.
"Brother," said the fatter man, "we really don't have any ill intentions. We are looking for a livelihood in troubled times. Why are we all doing this together! Look..."
"No need to talk nonsense!" The companion shouted, "We will be polite first and then fight. If you don't want to see this old woman die, you can put down the knife, otherwise..."
"Go back and find that Cai He!" Yang Fugui interrupted him, "And that Li Xiao, tell them that what happened outside Chongtian Terrace was seen by someone!"
The two men were stunned and looked at each other.
They didn't know anything about Chongtiantai, but the names Cai He and Li Xiao were actually called out by this person.
Over the years, Li Xiao has been recuperating his energy and keeping a low profile in the dust. When he came to this village, Mr. Cai He also referred to him as "Mr. Cai". He did not reveal his real name, and it was impossible to mention "Li Xiao"
.
The two men had fierce eyes. The fatter man looked particularly gentle just now. Now he was the first to take action, drawing a big knife and stepping forward.
Yang Fugui was bluffing, but when he saw the other party rushing forward, Yang Fugui screamed in surprise, threw the kitchen knife with a clang, and ran to protect him in front of the old man.
"Come here!" The fatter man grabbed him and kicked him on the butt. Yang Fugui threw him towards the door.
His companions immediately grabbed him and stood up.
The fatter man grabbed the old man at the same time and put the knife on the old man's neck.
"No! No!" Yang Fugui shouted loudly, "Listen to me!"
The two men looked towards him.
"You, please pay attention. If you really want to beat me to death, you will not get any good results!" Yang Fugui stammered, "My girl has said that she is waiting for you to come out. If you treat me and others,
If the old woman takes action, my girl will immediately tell the emperor the truth about Chongtiantai when she returns to Hejing!"
"What's going on at Chongtiantai?" the fat man asked in a deep voice.
"About the sacrifice to heaven!" Yang Fugui shouted, "In the autumn of the Ji Chou year, it was Li Xiao who let those birds poop everywhere and ruined the sacrifice to heaven!"
The two men were shocked: "What did you say?!"
"It was Li Xiao who did it! My girl also said that if I don't rush to Wanshanguan to meet her before tomorrow night, you will be doomed! Don't blame us for becoming long-tongued women!"
After saying that, Yang Fugui paused and then said: "No, the last sentence was not said by my girl, but by me!"
He subconsciously felt that Xia Zhaoyi would not like being called a "long-tongued woman", and what would happen if she knew that he was talking nonsense.
"Do you want to go to Wanshan Pass?" a man said.
"right!"
The two men vaguely felt that this matter might really make a big fuss, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.
"So, she expected this to happen before she left?"
"My girl has a clever plan!"
"What a clever plan?" The fatter man sneered and tightened the old man's hand, "I think she is afraid that we will really take it out on this old woman!"
Seeing that the old man was being controlled tightly by the man, with his rickety body forced to stand on tiptoes and locking his neck, Yang Fugui was furious: "Hurry up! Let go of this old woman. You are dragging an old woman like a big man."
Threatening, you should have some face!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud shout came from outside.
"What is going on? How did we come across this scene? What happened?"
The two men were suddenly startled and looked back.
About ten people got off their horses and stared at them curiously.
The man holding Yang Fugui immediately widened his eyes and took two steps to the right, trying to block their view into the room.
At the same time, the man in the room also reacted and dragged the old man to the back hall.
"Master Zhi!" shouted the man holding Yang Fugui, "Why are you here?!"
The white-faced young man called "Master Zhi" frowned slightly and looked at the knife in his hand.
The big man next to Zhi Ye shouted: "I recognize you, you are Mr. Cai He's bodyguard, what's going on with you, ah! You are a robber!"
As he spoke, the big man raised the knife in his hand.
"No, no, it's not!" the man shouted hurriedly, "It's this guy, he's a traitor!"
"I'm not! I'm not a traitor," Yang Fugui shouted, "It's this person, he is a robber, and he also kidnapped my old grandmother!"
"Fuck your mother's grandmother!" The man's knee hit Yang Fugui.
Yang Fugui shouted: "Official, official, save me quickly! This is a bad person, a bad person!"
After he finished speaking, he was hit several times by the furious man.
The boss looked him up and down, then looked at the man: "So, where is Mr. Cai He? Where is Mr. Cai He?"
"Master Zhi, our husband has something to do. I will ask someone to call him right now!"
"Oh," Mr. Zhi nodded and said, "Then you plan to talk to me like this?"
The man frowned, feeling at a loss for a moment.
Of course he didn't want to let this man go, but he didn't dare to kill him.
The Chongtiantai incident sounded serious, but he didn't know how terrible the consequences would be for Mr. Cai He.
If it is very serious, what will happen if this man does not go to Wanshan Pass before tomorrow night?
