Thirteenth Niang dragged the old tiles that looked like dead dogs back to the gate of the village. When she came back, the gate of the village had been opened. From outside the village, she could see the lively scene of the school grounds behind the gate. Several big men were tied up.
They were thrown into the middle of the school grounds like rice dumplings, letting the cool rain drip on their bodies. Their mouths were covered with unknown rags, and their bodies were shivering in the rain.
"Thirteenth Mother is back." Someone shouted, and people in the village came out of the rain-sheltered houses one after another.
Thirteenth Niang threw the dying Lao Wa to the tied people in the middle of the school ground. She looked carefully at the people in her village. Only some people were injured, but it seemed that most of them were there. Everyone smiled, and this made Shi Sanniang.
Don't worry, Sanniang.
Lu Yu came down with a few people holding oil-paper umbrellas. Lu Yu tilted his umbrella towards Thirteenth Niang, and the two of them held one together. The other brothers looked at the dying Lao Wa, with mixed feelings, and then
After looking at the man standing behind Shisanniang, who looked a little pale, his eyes were shocked.
All of them had seen this guy named Lu Yi. On the night when Chen Mo was arrested and went up the mountain, he must have been a retinue of the caravan at that time. Later, he abandoned the caravan and followed those people up the mountain.
Sometimes I heard that he became the most prestigious person in Huangniu Ridge besides Stubborn Niu.
"He..." Ah Xiao glanced at the man named Lu Yi, and then looked at Thirteen Niang. He was a little confused about the situation. Was this man captured or...
"Find an empty room for him." Thirteenth Niang looked at the "zongzi" on the school ground and said.
"Can I stay and see?" Although Lu Yi felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't plan to leave now.
"Give him an umbrella."
"Yes." Ah Xiao gestured to someone and gave Lu Yi an umbrella.
Regarding the intrigue and fight in front of the old mountain master's tomb, apart from Thirteenth Mother, only Lu Yu knew the details, so many people were shocked by Lu Yi's appearance. To them, Lu Yi was Lao Wa and Stubborn Niu.
Over there, now Lao Wa has been captured and Lu Yi seems to be fine, which of course makes people confused.
Regarding this complicated operation, I was a bit confused when Thirteenth Niang received various solicitations one after another. I went from being a hot potato, rejected by everyone, to later inexplicably turning into a fragrant steamed bun, straight away.
At that time, there was something more interesting, that is, the woman in red named Cheng Yan. Her arrival made Thirteenth Niang feel that things were more interesting. According to her understanding, if this was not a conspiracy against herself, simply put
In other words, Hua Mianhu wants to kill Lao Wa and the others, Lao Wa and the others want to kill Hua Mianhu, and Lao Wa is not at peace internally either. Cheng Yan joins forces with Lu Yi and asks Thirteen Niangs to help deal with Lao Wa and Stubborn Niu.
The fight between the two is easy to understand. When facing Lao Wa's conspiracy later, according to Cheng Yan, she wished she could eat his flesh and suck his marrow, while Lu Yi used Lao Wa's and their lives as a pledge of surrender.
"I heard Hua Mianhu said that he asked Lao Bai from Baishi Cave to sneak attack on the village." Thirteenth Niang said calmly.
"Lao Bai? I haven't seen him. Except for the ones he killed, they are all here." Lu Yu was confused.
Thirteenth Niang frowned.
"Yes, Thirteenth Niang, I haven't seen Lao Bai from Baishi Grotto. They also wanted to use a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain to sneak attack the stronghold. The military advisor saw through it and used the trick to capture them." Ah Xiao also explained.
"What's wrong? Thirteenth Niang." Lu Yu looked at Thirteenth Niang's frown and asked.
"You haven't seen Lao Bai and his people, so why would Hua Mianhu say that?" Thirteenth Niang seemed to be answering Lu Yu, but also seemed to be asking herself.
"What did the flower-faced tiger say?"
Thirteenth Niang shook her head and did not continue, but asked: "Is Chen Mo back?"
Chen Mo? When Lu Yi heard the name, he naturally connected it with the boy. On the top of the mountain, he heard that the flower-faced tiger did not hesitate to use a rusty knife as bait to lure the boy out of the village for this sneak attack.
, when he heard Thirteen Niang mentioning this name specifically, he immediately thought of it. That young man was the one who fought the flower-faced tiger head-on and fled after leaving him in a state of panic. Lu Yi was very curious.
Lu Yu shook her head, and Thirteenth Niang's brows that had just relaxed wrinkled again.
At this time, a woman in red came with a little girl from a distance. Rather than walking, it was better to say that the little girl was dragging the woman in red at a trot. Each of them had an oil-paper umbrella. This place was full of bandits.
An incongruous landscape formed in the angry village.
Xiao Yanyu ran to the school ground and let go of the woman in red, ignoring the mud in the school ground, and trotted to Thirteenth Niang's side. When the red-haired girl came to the school ground, her eyes were filled with anger mixed with a sense of pleasure, and she looked at
The man lying on the school ground who had humiliated him.
Lao Wa's eyes were a little hazy. Already desperate, he saw a red shadow walking in front of him. His blurred eyes instantly regained their clarity, and he saw clearly that the owner of the red shadow was the woman who was supposed to be waiting for his triumphant return in the village.
"You, why are you here?!" Lao Wa said weakly.
"Why am I here? You should know this." Cheng Yan said condescendingly and coldly.
"Yes, it was you. It was you and Lu Yi who jointly betrayed us?!" Lao Wa figured it out. "You actually went behind my back and got together with other men, and joined forces to get rid of your husband, you bitch,
You must die a good death!"
The more Lao Wa talked, the more excited he became.
"Betrayed? How have I ever been yours? Don't think that if you take my body, I will be yours. Not to mention the words "brother-in-law" sound so nice. You have always been an enemy in my eyes. I wish I could be torn into pieces.
Duan's enemy." After Cheng Yan finished speaking, she ignored his resentful gaze, turned to look at Thirteenth Niang, and said: "Leave this person to me, and I will agree to whatever you ask for."
Thirteenth Niang was about to answer Cheng Yan when she was pestered by Xiao Yanyu again.
"Thirteenth Niang, answer me first. Tell me where Chen Mo went." Xiao Yanyu pulled Thirteenth Niang's sleeve. She and Cheng Yan searched the entire village today but couldn't find him.
The shadow was not seen even when she was taking refuge. Thirteenth Niang must have deceived her, and now she wants to get the answer from Thirteenth Niang.
"He's not in the village? This guy who didn't keep his promise must have wandered off somewhere again. I'll go out to find him right now. If you find him, you'll beat him up for you first, and then bring him back. Do you think it's okay?"
Sanniang knelt down, looked at Xiao Yanyu and said.
Lu Yi looked at this little girl, she looked familiar, and for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
"If you can't beat him, just capture him. If you want to beat him, I can do it."
"Okay, okay, then I will catch him, hang him up, and give him a hundred and eighty lashes for you." After saying that, Thirteenth Niang stood up. She looked at Chen Mo and was speechless.
When I came back, I felt a little regretful that I had been too hasty and agreed to go alone with him. Now it was too difficult and I was ready to be in trouble. Anyway, my own affairs were over, and the village was fine, so I would support him.
Just when Thirteen was about to give instructions, the people on the watchtower suddenly shouted: "Someone is going up the mountain, it seems...that boy Chen Mo."
...
Chen Mo finally returned to the foot of the mountain stronghold before dark. This trip made him very tired. He had to drag his tired body back after dealing with the person he met on the way.
The rain made him soaked to the skin. His clothes, which were still fine when he went out, were cut several times and were in tatters. He really looked like a refugee. He put the broken blade on his back, holding a long knife in one hand and a knife in the other.
With the dark red mud covering the sacks outside, step by step, I walked along the path up the mountain towards the village.
When I walked to the door, I saw a lot of people there. A small figure ran over holding an umbrella. The handle of Chen Mo's long knife held her head down to prevent her from getting close to him.
"You, who did you fight with again?" Seeing that he was covered in injuries, Xiao Yanyu, who had many complaints, was completely forgotten, and his eyes turned red.
Chen Mo held her head and walked into the village. Everyone looked at this man who was covered in injuries. Except for a few people, no one knew what he was doing today.
Chen Mo, who walked into the village, threw the long knife back to the real owner. The man took the knife and looked at it. There were some gaps on it, and there was also a smell of blood that the rain could not wash away: My wife, what have you experienced today?
What?
After Chen Mo threw the knife, he pushed Xiao Yanyu down beside him. Just as she was about to speak, Chen Mo covered her eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Mo didn't answer, and directly threw the dirty sack forward with his other hand. The sack was thrown out in a rainbow-like parabola after the rain, and fell to the open space of the school ground. Then two good heads fell out of the sack.
Rolling out, most of the people present immediately took a long breath of cold air, and some children under the eaves in the distance had their eyes covered by the adults next to them.
"A rusty knife and a person who knows whether it's an old tile or a stubborn cow have to be considered separately."
After Shen Mo finished speaking, he walked towards his residence with Xiao Yanyu, who was always blindfolded by him.
Thirteen Niang and Lu Yu looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Lu Yi and Cheng Yan looked at the two familiar heads on the ground and looked at each other speechlessly. From the moment Chen Mo appeared, he remembered who he was. No wonder the little girl looked so familiar. They had met her twice on the business road.
of.
"It turns out he is that person. How old is he? Not only was he as good as the Painted Tiger, but he also killed the Rusty Knife and the Stubborn Niu. Although the Stubborn Niu was half-killed by Thirteenth Mother, this guy must have killed
When I came back from the rusty knife and met the rusty knife, it seemed that he went to the Dadao Mountain alone, he is really a scary guy."
Lu Yi looked at Chen Mo's back and smiled bitterly.
"Lao Pei, let me touch your knife."
"No." The man named Lao Pei immediately covered his knife tightly and looked at the two heads on the ground, feeling inexplicably excited. "This is my mother-in-law, how can I let others touch her?"
"Hey, you lent it to that boy Chen Mo."
"Can it be the same? They are consecrating my mother-in-law. Can you do it?"
After that, the man named Lao Pei in the village was taken to drink more frequently. Even when he was drunk, his long knife was tightly held tightly and never left his body for even a moment.
The knife that loved my mother-in-law also loved this knife, and stayed with him until the last moment of his life, when he died on the same day of the same year and month.
