After walking for several days, everyone arrived at a place called Heiliu Town on this day. @乐@文@
Those who fled had no money to live in an inn. I bought food in the town and went on my way.
Xu Bo also bought two catties of fine grains and two catties of beans. These things are precious now!
After walking not far, I came to a small village with only a few families. It was also because they were lucky that they encountered a wild boar forty or fifty catties they would hit in the village and sold it in the town.
Gu Li, the leader of this group, saw it and ran to ask the meat seller, and then came back and asked everyone: "Buy this wild boar and share it with everyone. What do you think?"
It is much cheaper to buy meat from this villager than from a butcher.
Hearing that this wild boar only costs five taels of silver, everyone thinks it is a bargain. The main reason is that on the way, everyone eats dry food and eats wild vegetables.
The villager who sells pigs is also very enthusiastic, and he lent the cauldron at home to everyone. The wife of the villager even sent some condiments.
However, Gu Li declined the woman's kindness, but only put salt in the meat.
People who can live to the present, how can they not even have the heart to guard against. It’s okay to wash the big pot, but I don’t know the seasoning.
Smelling the scent of floating meat, Yan Wushuang really felt that the villagers were warmhearted.
Xu Bo looked at him and said, "Don't you think he is too enthusiastic?" Now that the price of food is rising, meat is naturally more expensive. Such a wild boar is worth ten taels of silver. Selling wild boars cheaply and also borrowing pots and delivering seasonings, how could there be such enthusiastic people in this world today.
Yan Wushuang felt that Xu Bo was too suspicious.
Xu Bo said: "You must be cautious when you go out. Otherwise, you will lose your life if you are not careful."
Forty or fifty catties of wild boars, after cleaning them, there are more than thirty catties of meat left. There are twenty-nine people in their group, including children, and half of them are in the prime of life. It was no problem for this man to kill two catties of meat by himself, so the meat was cooked all at once.
It was Gu Li's wife who divided the meat, and she also went to see people when she scooped the meat. The people in front were all full of a spoonful, and only half a spoonful when it was Yan Wushuang's turn.
Yan Wushuang was a timid and cowardly boy outside, and also a dumb, even if the flesh was less than others, this woman was sure he would not resist. Sure enough, Yan Wushuang saw so little meat, only glanced up at her, and then silently carried the tin can and walked away.
Xu Bo carried the tin can to the three of Hong San's family and said, "This kid in my family said that he wants to pour out the meat. It's a pity to pour out the meat, let's eat it for you!"
Hong San asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Bo sighed and said, "Gu Li's meat-fighting was unfair. He was angry and said that he would rather throw it away than eat it."
Hong San wanted to refuse, but did not expect his wife to speak before him: "Then how is the money calculated?" They don't have much money on hand, although they are almost at home. But there is a good chance that all of them will be robbed, and everything will have to be repurchased at that time. And this requires money. Therefore, now a piece of silver can't be broken into two to spend.
Hong San was embarrassed when he heard this, but he didn't scold his wife either. After all, my wife is also for this family.
People who practice martial arts are very sensitive, so these words naturally fell into Yan Wushuang's ears. These days, he and Xu Bo take good care of Hong San's family. Unexpectedly, the family would even care about the money for two bowls of meat.
Xu Bo said heartily: "Of course we will pay the money."
Daughter-in-law Gu Li accepted the meat and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Xu." After that, she asked her daughter to thank her too.
Cici also said sweetly: "Thank you Uncle Xu."
Xu Bo knew that Gu Li's wife was a shrewd woman, and said with a smile: "It's just two bowls of meat, it's not worth anything."
After eating the meat, the cauldron was washed and returned, and the group returned to the side of the road. Gu Li arranged four people to watch the night, and then hit a hacha and went back to sleep.
The people who watch the night on weekdays are particularly alert, but today these four vigils are full of haggards.
Yan Wushuang looked at the four of them, and knew that Uncle Xu was right, there was a real problem with that meat. Yan Wushuang leaned against Xu Bo, and actually asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Xu Bo, what did they do with their hands and feet?" Gu Li and the others were already very careful, and nothing else was useful except this pot.
"Think of it myself."
After thinking about it, Yan Wushuang said: "If you talk about making hands and feet, then there is only water. But this water is the well water in the village. Can the villagers know that putting medicine in the water?"
Xu Bo said: "You didn't find that there are only five families in this village. Even if these five families are not accomplices, they are accomplices."
After half an hour, except for Yan Wushuang and Xu Bo, everyone else fell asleep, including the four who watched the night.
Yan Wushuang looked at the person who fell asleep on the side of the road and asked, "Uncle Xu, what should I do now?"
"Regardless of them, we go our own."
Yan Wushuang didn't agree, "If we leave, what will they do?" When they left, these people might be dead.
"Do you want to save them? But have you ever thought that once we rescue them, they will be exposed. Expose your whereabouts and you will be very dangerous."
Yan Wushuang said, "I know, but I can't just watch them get killed."
After speaking, Yan Wushuang looked at Xu Bo and said: "Xu Bo, even if you stop it, I will save them."
Xu Bo sighed, but didn't object: "If you want to save, then save it!" It takes only three days to ride to Spring City on horseback. When I arrived at Spring City, I was not afraid to find Tang Xingping.
After half an hour, seven people came towards this side. In the light of the night, Yan Wushuang saw the men holding big swords and spears in their hands, and two women holding cloth bags in their hands.
Seven people killed six, leaving behind the one who sold them the pork. Yan Wushuang asked, "What do you want to do?"
With Uncle Xu, this person couldn't hold it at all: "Seeing that you have bought a lot of things in the town, and your group of people looks and dresses well, you know that you definitely still have a lot of money on hand. "
Uncle Xu asked, "What then? Are you going to kill all these people?"
The man said, "Kill all the men, and sell the women and children in the building." Unless it's ugly, it can be sold for a few dollars.
Yan Wushuang understood that these were not villagers at all, but gangsters.
After killing these people, the two threw them into a big pit and covered them with branches. Then, turn back to town. As for whether Gu Li and his party would still encounter danger, they didn't care about it.
The next day, Gu Li and a group of people got up and found their heads heavy. Thinking about what happened yesterday, I knew something was wrong. But after checking, there was no shortage of belongings, only Xu Yan and his son had disappeared. But at this time, no one asked where they were going, and everyone packed up and left in a hurry.
The corpse in the big pit was discovered by pedestrians passing by that afternoon, and it happened that Xiang Hongda heard it in the town at this time. He felt that the matter was strange, and immediately took people to this village to examine the corpse.
