"Run, why don't you run? Your damn life is almost gone. I'm going to let you run now. Can you run out? Do you know where this is?"
I bet you are afraid of being eaten by a wolf before you can run more than three miles. Do you believe it or not? Do you believe it or not?"
An angry voice interrupted Zhou Wen's thoughts.
It was early in the morning, and Zhou Wen found Xu Dacheng sleeping with his hands tied, curled up beside him, without a hood, and there were still wet tears in the corners of his eyes.
Both of them were lying on a carriage, and the big man driving the carriage was still cursing and cursing endlessly. The carriage was pulled by two horses, the carriage was not small, and there were two big men sitting on the side of the carriage, one on the left and one on the right, taking a nap.
There was also a big man sitting at the back of the car, looking at him with bright eyes.
"Are you awake?" said the big man at the back of the car: "If it weren't for your companion who risked his life to protect you last night, we all thought you were dead and almost buried you idiot."
"Silly boy, let me tell you this," the big man at the back of the car continued: "I kidnapped you not for ransom, but because Chairman Shi of Henan issued a jianghu post.
It is said that Yan Laoxi of Shanxi has detained them, so Marshal Feng wants Jianghu people to go to Shanxi to capture a few wealthy children as hostages and force Yan Laoxi to release them."
After Zhou Wen heard this, he immediately found the reason from his memory. Henan Chairman Shi was probably Shi Yousan, a general who rebelled and was despised by future generations. He later surrendered to the Japanese and became a traitor.
That Marshal Feng is probably Feng Yuxiang. It seems that Yan Xishan detained Feng Yuxiang, but it is not clear when.
What's the point of catching hostages and rescuing the commander? How could Shi Yousan be so chivalrous and loyal? In fact, he was just catching Ding.
After Shi Yousan arrived in Henan, he recruited bandits and bandits to expand his strength. He had more troops, but those bandits and bandits were all rough guys who had never studied.
It knows you about the various command files it sends, but you don't know it, so its combat effectiveness will never improve.
At that time, there were not many scholars who were willing to serve as soldiers. It was impossible to recruit soldiers who were literate. So they simply had no shame and arrested them directly.
"Bah! You're a bitch and you're setting up a memorial arch. You're also worthy of posting hero posts like this?" Zhou Wen cursed secretly in his heart.
"We won't run away," Zhou Wen said. After thinking about the whole situation, Zhou Wen immediately made up his mind.
Xu Dacheng also woke up at this time and looked at Zhou Wen. He was about to speak but was interrupted by Zhou Wen's hand, "Dacheng, did you hear what I just said?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Um!"
"We won't run anymore." Zhou Wen straightened his upper body and sat up and said again. The big man at the back of the car stared at Zhou Wen with a scrutinizing gaze without saying a word, and Zhou Wen also looked calmly into his eyes.
After a while, the big man at the back of the car looked at Xu Dacheng again, "He listens to me, we are brothers." Zhou Wen understood what he meant instantly.
In fact, although Xu Dacheng was slightly better in fists and kicks among the two brothers, Zhou Wen was usually the one who made the decisions.
Because Zhou Wen had excellent academic performance and often helped Xu Dacheng pass various exams, he was the perfect dog-headed military advisor.
There is a saying: You go first in a fight, and I have the final say on who to fight.
"Interesting." The big man at the back of the car jumped out of the car and said while patting the dust on his butt.
At this time, the mountain road went uphill, the carriage slowed down, and the other big men on the carriage all got off.
"Who the hell believes you? In order to find you last night, we suffered a lot. We climbed over the cliff and found you after dark. Why didn't the wolf eat you?"
"Shut up." The big man at the back of the car stopped the chattering of the driver.
Somehow, when he heard Zhou Wen say he wouldn't run away, he believed the boy's words. There was no reason, he just believed it.
After the young man woke up from his coma, he had an indescribable temperament about him, as if the youthfulness and panic he had before suddenly disappeared.
He was calm and calm when facing me, so I believed his promise.
"I believe what you said. It will save everyone trouble if you tell me the truth." said the big man driving the car.
Zhou Wen first pointed to the rope on Xu Dacheng's hand, "Untie it." The big man at the back of the car ordered, and a big man next to him came over to untie Xu Dacheng.
"I only have one condition." Zhou Wen helped Xu Dacheng sit up with his left hand and raised a finger with his right hand.
Middle finger? You read that right, it’s the middle finger.
While Zhou Wen was greeting the various female elders of this group of kidnappers in his heart, and let out a little bit of bad breath after suffering the past few days, he said, "We don't ask where you are going, and we don't care who you are, but there is no need to rush day and night.
On the way.
Since we don’t run, we should eat when we need to eat and sleep when we need to sleep. Our bodies haven’t grown yet. If we are traveling in the wilderness like this, if we get sick, it will be troublesome for everyone, right?
Money is not an issue, didn’t you take more than a dozen oceans from us?”.
After all, Zhou Wen and Xu Dacheng were from wealthy families, and they were embarrassed to go out without bringing a few people with them.
"Then it's our money now, are you dreaming about it? I..." the big man driving the car said hurriedly.
The big man at the back of the car raised his hand to stop him from talking. "Okay! Let's leave it like that. I know you are very particular people. Maybe we will meet Chairman Shi again in the future, so let's just have a good relationship."
"Third brother, please don't, they...", as soon as the big man driving the car opened his mouth, he was glared back by the big man behind the car.
"Haha, from now on when you meet outsiders when you stay in the hotel and eat, you can call me Third Brother, and the other Fourth Brothers and Fifth Brothers, please follow suit. The two little brothers should also give their names. It's easy to call them."
"My name is Awen, and his name is Dacheng," Zhou Wen introduced.
"Okay, from now on we will be known as the merchants who go to purchase goods. I am the shopkeeper, you two are the assistants, and they are the coachmen and helpers." The man named Third Brother said.
Only then did Zhou Wen take a moment to take a closer look at Xu Dacheng's body. Fortunately, except for a bruise on his face, there was no serious problem elsewhere.
After a brief observation of the surroundings, I found that the big man named Third Brother was relatively tall, probably about 1.8 meters tall, about thirty years old, with short hair, a big nose and small eyes, but he was still decent.
He walks steadily and his upper body doesn't sway much. He looks like a practicing practitioner at first glance.
The driver was much shorter, with a turban on his head that he couldn't tell whether it was white or yellow. He had a horse-like face, and he was knocked down by a punch yesterday, so he had to get it back from his mouth after suffering a loss today.
"Sloppy stuff," Zhou Wen thought to himself. The other two big men, one fat and the other skinny, were both weaklings and didn't speak much.
That night, the group came to a large village called Hejiazhuang, where there happened to be a Zhumadian.
Before reaching the door, a waiter came to greet him, "Do you guys want to stay at the hotel? The store has stables and hot water for foot washing at night. We only charge 20 cents per person and take care of the food. Come in." The waiter said.
He greeted warmly.
The third brother nodded and took the lead to walk in. The waiter and the drivers unloaded the horses from the carriages and took the horses to the stables behind for placement.
Everyone was very tired after working hard for several days. When they entered the lobby and found that there were not many customers, they felt relieved and sat down around a long table to order food.
In about ten minutes, the waiter came up with a big dustpan. It was filled with steaming white flour buns, a large bowl of vinegar and shredded radish, and a large bowl of boiled sweet potatoes and a pot of vegetable soup. Vegetable soup
There were actually a few pieces of pig skin floating on it with some fat on it.
Now everyone was satisfied. They ate and praised the shop owner for his kindness and righteousness.
Zhou Wen and Xu Dacheng were both growing up and had been half-starved and half-full for several days. If they had not restrained themselves for fear of gastrointestinal discomfort, they would have eaten the steamed buns up to their necks and eyes.
