Chapter 2: Song Jiang Ye escapes to the rivers and lakes II
The two brothers Song Jiang and Song Qing made up their minds to throw small whirlwind firewood there, so they immediately started walking forward. However, after walking for about two or three miles, Song Jiang gradually noticed something was wrong.
"Look at the two people behind, they look suspicious. They are following you from a distance. They don't look like people on a journey." As Song Jiang walked, he approached Song Qing beside him and said on the ground: "Be careful," he said. , Song Jiang saw Song Qing turning around to look, he quickly grabbed him and shouted in a low voice: "Don't alarm them, let's test them out."
"Why is my brother testing the law?"
"Don't worry about it. Have you seen the river over there?" Song Jiang raised his finger and pointed at a slow-flowing river not far in front, and said, "Let's leave the official road and go over there, pretending to quench our thirst. , If they are ordinary guests, they will not come. If they have malicious intentions, we will strike first and suddenly attack them to understand them."
"This is good..." Song Qing said as he and Song Jiang left the official road and headed for the big river.
The two brothers walked to the river. Song Jiang pretended to be natural, squatted down in the shallows of the river, took a handful of water with both hands, and patted his cheeks. Song Qing was not as calm as his elder brother, standing sideways. By the river, I secretly watched the movement on the other side of the official road, and one hand was quietly pressed on the handle of the knife.
However, those two did not come this way. Instead, they went straight along the official road. Song Qing watched from a distance until his eyes were blocked by the mountains and could no longer be seen. Then he said to Song Jiang: "Brother, it's you who are suspicious. They have disappeared long ago. They are all serious travelers."
Song Jiang stood up and took a look. There was indeed no trace of him who had already left. Song Jiang shook off the water on his hand, laughed at Song Qing's inexperience, and said: "A serious traveler, I just didn't make a move. I can't say, I'm planning." We, two brothers, are looking down upon our big business."
"Brother, why do you say that?"
"There were no villages on the section of road where they appeared. Apart from emerging from the woods, they could be anything from heaven to earth. I saw them following them for seven or eight miles. When I deliberately went slow, they were also slow. When I deliberately went fast, they were also slow. They are also very fast and their behavior is suspicious,"
Song Qing did not think so and said: "Facts speak louder than words, my brother is just suspicious,"
Song Qing's words made Song Jiang think of Shi Jin's story again. He was frustrated and thought a lot along the way, but there was a knot in his heart that he couldn't get rid of. At the moment, he seemed to be educating Song. Qing, but he said angrily: "Being suspicious has its own benefits. If you are so stupid that you only have a loyal heart, you will die somehow." As he said that, Song Jiang snorted heavily.
Seeing his eldest brother like this, Song Qing seemed to be filled with hatred, which was unusual. Song Qing asked: "Why is my brother talking like this all the way? It reminds me of someone."
"Oh," Song Jiang asked, "Who do you think of?"
"Cao Cao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty," Song Qing said, "'I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me.' This is not exactly what my brother preached."
Song Jiang thought for a moment and said, "After you said that, it's true."
Song Qing joked: "It's just that my brother is much stronger than him. He is a loyal and honest person, but Cao Cao is a traitor."
Song Jiang didn't answer Song Qing's words. He asked Song Qing to go back to the official road and hurry up. At the same time, he just lowered his head and looked at the road under his feet, as if he was thinking about something. After waiting for a long time, he suddenly said something scary: : "People often say that Cao Cao is a traitor, saying that he 'hijacked the emperor to control the princes'. Although he was rampant, he only did one thing throughout his life, and that was to be the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, even though he was arrogant. He killed the emperor, but in the end he did not depose the emperor, nor did he overthrow the Han Dynasty's regime."
Song Qing nodded.
Song Jiang continued: "Let's look back at Liu Bei, the benevolent and righteous king who was praised by others. He spent his whole life under the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty, but he deceived the eyes of the world. Not only did the Han Dynasty never revive, but he dominated one side. Liu Chan "Proclaim yourself emperor." After saying this, Song Jiang stopped talking and sighed: "If a traitor like Cao Cao does this, his life will not be in vain."
Just when Song Jiang said these words, a voice with rich background was like rolling thunder, "Humph, I think you have no chance to do this traitor. You can go to the underworld and meet the traitor for a while."
The two brothers Song Jiang and Song Qing were startled by the sound. When they looked around, they suddenly discovered that they had just been talking all the way and had unknowingly entered here along the official road. Song Jiang saw that both sides were full of forest. In the forest, there was not a single person to be seen.
Song Qing put one hand on the knife and was about to draw it, but Song Jiang gently held his hand down, gave him a look that said he should not act rashly, and then pretended to be frightened and said: "But it's Brother, who is here, please show up and speak,"
Ha ha ha ha,,.
Just as Song Jiang finished speaking, exaggerated laughter suddenly rang out from the dense forest around him. The laughter was so evil that Song Qing couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over his body.
Song Jiang saw that the man didn't just show up, but instead played like this. He had long heard about many things in the rivers and lakes from his friends in the rivers and lakes. In the current situation, the person who came was bound to be evil. He heard the rumors coming from everywhere. The laughter became denser and more rampant. Song Jiang knew that he and Song Qing were already standing surrounded by others. Although they did not show up this time, there must be many people.
Song Jiang couldn't help but feel tight in his heart, and his palms were sweating. He was crying out in pain as he thought about it. He finally escaped from Yuncheng County, but he didn't expect that after all the hard work of the journey, he rushed here to die.
The laughter in the surrounding area gradually became sparse, but the sound of rustling through the forest gradually resounded all around. Song Jiang was alerted to the approaching danger, and then he forced a smile and said loudly: "I'm in Songjiang, I don't know where this place is." What kind of hero is in charge? If I was presumptuous, I hope you will forgive me."
"This road was not made by me, and this tree was not planted by me. If you want to get through here, leave your head behind..." A dark-skinned, strong man showed his yellow teeth and said with his arms folded in front of his chest. Jumped out from the dense forest on one side, and just when Song Jiang was looking at the tall man in a daze, a number of men dressed as bandits suddenly jumped out from all around, standing lazily one by one. They all looked different, some were holding simple knives in one hand, smoking dry cigarettes in the other, and some were holding wild flowers in their mouths and carrying big knives on their shoulders. All in all, all kinds of laziness appeared, and it was obvious that no one took the two brothers Song Jiang and Song Qing seriously.
Song Jiang smiled at your dark-skinned man, cupped his hands and said, "Song Jiang, may I ask you the name of this hero?"
"I can change my name or my surname if I do. People in the world call me Three Eyes, but you don't deserve to know my name." After saying this, the man looked up at Song Jiang and then at Song Qing, who was a little nervous and restrained, and asked : "By the way, what was your name just now?"
When Song Qing heard this, he was overjoyed. He thought to himself that this guy must have heard of his eldest brother's name, and now it was easy to handle.
Song Jiang heard the man's tone change and asked quite seriously. He then raised his hand again and replied: "I'm Song Jiang."
"But Song Yasi from Yuncheng County, you are the one who is known as Timely Rain?" The man loosened his arms across his chest, and his previous arrogance also subdued.
"It's Xiaoke," Song Jiang said, feeling joy and pride in his heart.
The man nodded and said very sincerely: "It's better to be famous than to meet. I heard your name on the mountain before, but couldn't see you. Yesterday, someone mentioned you again, so I made up my mind to come and meet you." , but I didn’t expect it to be here. It’s really a pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you.”
The tension between Song Jiang and Song Qing suddenly relaxed. As soon as they heard these words, although they were polite, they were also the words of their own family. Without the threat, the Song Jiang brothers felt much more natural. He heard the other party say that someone mentioned He then grabbed the topic and wanted to get closer to him. He quickly returned the gift and said: "I don't dare to accept it. I don't dare to accept it. But I don't know which brother I mentioned to you yesterday. I can't tell you that I am familiar with him."
The man scratched his scalp, thought for a moment and said, "What Oshi said is right, you two are very familiar with each other, and he knows everything about you very thoroughly." ," the man said with something in mind, and looked straight at Song Jiang, which made Song Jiang feel indescribably creepy.
The man didn't wait for Song Jiang to speak. He raised his head and looked at the sky. Like a mason who had taken a rest and was about to start work, he cheered up and said: "I can't afford to waste time. I have to rush back to the village before sunset. Let's talk less." He said, "Let's go to Song Yasi for a ride,"
Song Jiang felt a little embarrassed when he saw that the man was unwilling to answer him. After hearing this, he could only smile and said: "Brother, please don't send me away. I'll go on my own. See you later." After that, he bowed. .
But the three eyes stood there with thorns in their eyes and returned the courtesy. However, they suddenly changed their expressions and sneered: "It's not up to you. Someone asked me to take your life. It's all a favor but I can't refuse it. Come on. ," Three Eyes shouted, and a gangster on the side immediately threw a mountain-cutting knife at him. This knife was about half a person tall, with a bright blade. It was really impressive when he held it under his arm covered with body hair. Looking at it, the whole body felt numb.
Song Jiang looked at him and let out a cry. Before he could recover, he saw that the three eyes had already stepped forward, and the mountain-opening sword struck Song Jiang in the face.
Song Jiang was momentarily fascinated by the shimmering blade. He couldn't help but froze in place. His legs seemed to be filled with lead, but he couldn't move. There were only four words left in his heart, "My life" Rest.
But at this critical moment, a person suddenly appeared from the side...
