Four hundred and fortieth eight chapters skin two eggs
The heavy snow is slowly melting, and the muddy road in the mountains is getting muddier. People will be covered in mud after walking on it for a while. At this moment, Pierdan is walking on such a small road wearing a pair of straw sandals.
.
Pierdan is from Daxing Village on the outskirts of Xuan County, Baoning Prefecture, Hubei Province. His parents died when he was young, and he grew up eating hundreds of meals. The only thing left in his family was a soil kang and a pile of hay, so he is already 20 years old this year.
He is still a bachelor. In the countryside, a man who has not yet married a wife at the age of twenty is considered to be marrying late, so he is often looked down upon by others.
Although Pierdan is poor, he has practiced martial arts with others since he was a child. He has developed good skills. Three or four men can't beat him. For this reason, several thieves around him have tried to recruit him into their gang several times.
But he rejected them all because he always remembered what his father said to him before he died, that is, he would rather starve to death than do something that dishonored his ancestors. Therefore, Pierdan, who listened to his father's words, was miserable.
It got to the point where I couldn't even eat enough.
As he walked, Pierdan tightened the cloth bag on his back to his shoulders and felt the things inside. Pierdan felt very happy. There were two pheasants in the bag. They were the ones he shot in the mountains yesterday. Today
He has to rush to the county town to buy more than ten kilograms of brown rice, which will last him several days.
Pierdan was very happy when he thought that he would have enough food for the next ten days or so. For him, having enough to eat was the best thing. As for marrying a wife, which was often said by others, he had no idea.
I haven't thought about it.
Pierdan, who was walking on the road, was so happy that he sang folk songs while walking. Xuan County is located in the northern part of Hubei Province and adjacent to Shaanxi, so the folk songs here also have a bit of Shaanxi flavor.
"The camellias in Shandandan are blooming, brother is walking on the hillside, sister, where are you singing folk songs, singing makes brother feel panic..."
Don't tell me, even though Pierdan is poor, he has a very loud voice and can sing good folk songs. When he raises his voice, it is quite melodious and melodious.
Just as Pierdan was singing happily, there was a sudden rumble in front of him. The rumble was getting closer and closer. After a while, even the ground seemed to be shaking slightly. Soon, a team wearing brown leather armor
The knight appeared in front of Pierdan.
This group of cavalry quickly flew to Pierdan's side, and the leader of the cavalry whistled loudly.
"Xu......"
There was a sound of reining in the horses, and the pair of cavalrymen quickly stopped in front less than seven or eight steps away from Pierdan. Seeing this situation, even Pierdan, a man who didn't know how to ride a horse, knew what the other party was doing.
The riding skills must be amazing.
When they stopped, Pierdan saw that the leading knight was about thirty years old, with a weathered face. Like the others, this knight had a curved bow on his waist.
He was carrying a sword, a long bow and a bag of arrows on his back. After the knight stopped, he asked Pierdan: "Boy, come here. I want to ask you, is this the boundary of Xuan County?"
This was a very rude question, and Pierdan felt very unhappy. But the situation was stronger than the situation, so he couldn't say anything, so he could only nodded and said, "Yes, this is already the boundary of Xuan County."
The knight asked again: "How far is the county seat from here?"
Pierdan shook his head: "You have already passed by. It is more than ten miles behind you."
"You're talking nonsense." The knight was furious. He raised the whip in his hand and was about to pull it down. He shouted sternly: "If there is a county town, why didn't I see it? Are all these people blind?"
Facing the riding whip raised high on the opposite side, even though he had practiced martial arts, Pierdan was a little scared. He quickly said: "Of course not, that's because you took a sidetrack just now. The county town should turn right from that side.
The only way to go is."
The knight, whose face turned blue with anger, screamed: "Asshole, that damn bastard dared to lie to me. Brothers, let's rush back. Kill and drink that bastard who dared to lie to us!"
After saying that, the knight turned the horse's head and was about to rush back, but then thought about it and turned the horse's head back. He looked at Pierdan carefully and said, "Tell me, what is that on your back?"
Could it be the murder weapon?"
Pierdan quickly shook his head and said: "No. These are two pheasants that the young one shot in the mountains. They are about to take them to the county town to exchange for some brown rice to make a living." After saying this, Pierdan took the cloth bag, untied it and put it in.
The pheasant took it out and gave it to the knight quietly.
The knight looked at it and said with a smile: "Damn it, I have been on the road for a long time, and at the end I was deceived by a mud-legged guy. It just so happened that I accepted these two pheasants of yours. I regard them as your little boy.
To honor my uncle, please present it to me as soon as possible."
Pierdan was shocked and hugged the two pheasants tightly in his arms, "Uncle, this is the villain's life-saving food. The villain will rely on it for the next ten days or so. Please do your best and I will be able to survive."
Let the villain go."
When the knight saw it, his expression suddenly changed, "How dare you talk back, you bastard?" After saying that, the knight raised his whip.
"Bang!" With a sound, a purple-red whip mark suddenly appeared on Pi Erdan's hands, which quickly swelled up, and then a sharp pain came from the back of the hand.
Pi Erdan, whose hands were in severe pain, could no longer hold the two pheasants. As soon as his hands were loosened, the two pheasants fell to the ground and rolled several times on the muddy road. They were covered with mud and looked inedible.
After seeing this, the knight became even more angry and shouted: "You bastard, how dare you drop my pheasant on the ground, I'll see if I don't beat you to death."
After saying that, he whipped the whip on Pi Erdan's body without thinking. While he was beating Pi Erdan, he kept yelling and cursing.
There was only one reason why he whipped Pi Erdan. Pi Erdan had soiled the pheasant he was interested in. In his opinion, Pi Erdan, a living person, was not worth as much as two pheasants.
"Pa bang bang..."
Pierdan, who had been whipped several times, felt pain all over his body as if cut by a knife, but on the surface he did not dare to show even a trace of resentment. He could only hold his head and roll on the ground. Because when he was being beaten
During the break, he secretly looked around. He found that although the number of the cavalry was not large, only about twenty, they were already surrounding him. And when they looked at him, they were already surrounding him.
With such a cold-blooded and ruthless expression, if he even made a slight gesture of resistance, they would immediately chop him into pieces.
"Damn it, you dare to fight against the uncle's pheasant. Do you know who the uncle is? The uncle is a rebel under the command of King Chuang. If you resist the uncle, you are against the king and the rebels. Then you are going against the poor people. Damn it.
Mudleg, let me see if I don’t beat you to death.”
"boom.........."
Just when the knight got angry and beat Pi Erdan desperately because of a trivial matter, suddenly a dull voice sounded from behind, and a knight who was watching the excitement swayed and slowly got off his horse.
It fell down and fell into the mud on the side of the road. Blood bubbles kept spitting out from the mouth, and a "whoosh" sound was made. The eyes that were originally wide open quickly closed until this moment.
At that time, his companions discovered a blood hole as big as a cup on his chest.
"No, there is hostility!"
The leading knight no longer cared about slapping Pi Erdan at this time. A shrill shout came out of his mouth. He quickly took out his longbow and was about to turn his horse and gallop away, because he heard
When they came out, the dull voice came from behind them.
The reaction of this team of cavalry was very fast. From the sound of gunshots to the moment one of their cavalry fell off the horse, it was only half a cup of tea. More than 20 people immediately held the longbows behind their backs and attached arrowheads.
He strung his bow and plucked his horse to prepare to sprint forward.
It stands to reason that their reaction speed should be very fast, but unfortunately, their luck was not very good today. As the gunshots rang out one after another, more than ten cavalrymen who were drawing their bows were killed one after another.
Got off the horse.
The companions fell off their horses one after another, and finally the remaining ten knights who were charging forward were frightened. I don't know who was the first to turn the horse's head and run back. During this period, several cavalrymen were still shot to death on the horse.
on the back.
And Pierdan, who had been bruised all over by the whip just now, was half-kneeling on the roadside, watching the previously arrogant cavalry roll off their horses one after another like birds hit by a hunter's bow and arrow, and felt in his heart
One can imagine the horror.
At this time, his mind was already blank. For him, let alone seeing such a situation, he had never even dared to think about it. Although he had had many fights with neighborhood gangsters in the countryside, but that
It was just punches and kicks, at most a bruise on the face and a bruise on the face. He had never seen such a brutal fight. Dozens of lives disappeared in front of him. Even a self-proclaimed brave person like him was temporarily affected by it.
No.
"Bump..." Another burst of gunfire rang out.
At this time, blood splattered on the shoulder of a knight who was running at the end. He and his horse fell to the ground. A knight was thrown to the ground heavily and was pressed under the horse, with only half of his body exposed.
He screamed in pain, and Pierdan could clearly see that this person was the bastard who had just whipped him with a riding crop.
Seeing his enemy less than three or four steps away from him, Pierdan forgot that he was injured for a moment, and also forgot that some objects were flying over his head. At this moment, he only had one thought, and that was
Wanting to avenge the whipping he had just received, he endured the pain and rushed over, picked up the riding crop he had dropped aside, limped over, panted heavily, and whipped the riding whip without saying a word.
"Snapped......."
Along with the sound of the whip, a miserable cry also resounded through the roadside... (To be continued)
