Volume 1 Asking about Yin and Yang Chapter 1 Daytime Bandits
In Wuding City in midsummer, the sun is scorching, and no matter on the streets or in the fields, there is no moving living thing. Even the Guanfeng Tower, which is usually the busiest in this thousand-year-old city, has lost its life, and only the stubbornness that has been half gone has been lost.
The plants are still stubbornly carrying the deadly heat of this summer. Occasionally one or two passers-by just run by in a hurry, busy looking for shade and unwilling to stay under the July sunshine for a moment longer. Summer by the Wuding River, in the vast area
The Dawu Dynasty, which is thousands of miles away, is also unique. Unlike Jiangnan, which is exposed to the scorching sun and sweats profusely, but as long as you find a teahouse, order a pot of tea, sit for a while, and follow the stories of the storyteller, you will drink the tea.
, slowly fan the cattail leaf fan, and the hot summer air will be slowly blown away. It is also different from the north. The summer in the north is as rough, simple, and pure as the folk customs in the north. It can be described in one word, hot.
, it is hot, it is tnd hot. Summer in Wuding is very special. It does not have the extremely high temperature in the north, but your whole body will feel as if you are being placed in a steamer. It will be sultry from head to toe, even if it happens by chance.
The gust of wind blowing against your face is also hot, whether under the sun or under the eaves. No matter where you are, you can't escape the heat, as if there is a fire burning in your heart that needs to be extinguished.
However, there are always exceptions to everything. On a small mountain road ten miles outside Wuding City, a group of people slowly climbed to a higher mountaintop under the scorching sun above their heads.
"Yang Er, have you finished your tnd? You're just a big man, you'll be exposed to the sun. Do you need to hide here and there?" A dark man looked at the man with a slightly whiter head and stepped carefully from left to right.
Standing on the broken shade of the trees, it seems that there is a trick to pass through, and the sun will not touch the body. However, this rough body and the big knife on the shoulder look inexplicable.
Funny and speechless.
"You look like a girl, don't you bother me?" The brother at the back couldn't stand watching the whole way. He was already feeling a fire in his stomach, but when he looked at this girl's steps, he felt really uncomfortable.
I can't bear it anymore.
"You rough guy, you know a thing. We scholars, are you talking about a humble gentleman, as gentle as jade?" After Bai Hanzi said that, he didn't leave. As soon as he released the long knife, he leaned under the tree, breathing heavily.
Summer in Wuding is no joke. People can’t stand the heat without seeing the sun. If you just walk a few steps without doing anything in the sun, you will immediately break out in sweat, let alone carrying a machete weighing more than ten kilograms in the middle of the day.
On the rugged mountain road.
"You bastard? You have the nerve to say that you are a scholar, bah!!! Dawu has a scholar like you, it is really unfortunate for our family and country." Seeing his brother sitting down, the dark-skinned man scolded him while looking for him.
He sat down on the ground and leaned against the tree, looking as if he was hopeless.
"This damn weather is literally killing people. I really don't know what Wu Daode was thinking, choosing to go to the mountains to deliver goods on such a hot summer day?" Looking at the still distant top of the mountain, the dark man finally understood.
What do you mean by running to death in Wangshan? I couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother, hero, master, our lady is really thirsty and can't stand it anymore. She really can't walk. Please give me some water. If you want money, our master will give it to you in full."
.I just beg, you don’t want to..." Yang Er’s poetry that was brewing in his chest while looking at the green mountains and green waters was ruthlessly interrupted by the little maid with her hands tied behind her. She couldn’t help but said angrily: "Why are you making such a fuss?
Little girl, I, Yang Er, am well-known as a gentleman among gangsters. Bah, I am a gentleman of the world. I always convince others with my virtue. What do you mean by your words? Do you think that we will do the unscrupulous thing of taking money and tearing up votes?
Why!?"
The little maid did not expect that she and her young lady simply went to a temple outside the city to offer incense and pray for blessings. They were so close to Wuding City and it was still broad daylight. Suddenly, two gangsters jumped out from the roadside and knocked down the servants who were accompanying them.
They kidnapped the two of them, and what's even more terrible is that the two gangsters kidnapped people, even if they didn't have a carriage, and they didn't even have horses, so they just had a big sword and held them down and walked in the mountains all morning, going round and round.
I don’t see any intention of stopping. I and my lady have never suffered like this. We were rushing under the Wuding sun in July. If it hadn’t been for the bright big knife on our necks, we would have fallen down by now, and we would have been walking for so long.
I no longer have the energy to speak, and I'm afraid I'll collapse from heatstroke if I continue walking for a while.
Now he actually tells himself that there are gentlemen among the gangsters. They are all ruthless gangsters who dare to commit crimes in daylight, arrest people and kidnap people. What kind of gentlemen are they talking about? I wonder why this person is so shameless, but at this moment, he is losing his life.
In the hands of others, I could only compliment him and say, "Yes, yes, yes. Yes, my servant is blind, and I don't know that the hero is an honest person. But, my lady has never walked such a long way. In addition, the weather is hot. It's really difficult."
Yes, I’m really thirsty and can’t bear it.”
Yang Er looked at Miss Song, who was already crawling on the ground when they sat down. He knew that he really couldn't go on the road anymore. After all, Wu Daode said he wanted a living person, so the meat ticket was still not available on the road.
It didn't matter. I just took out the water bag, took a big sip myself, and then threw it away.
"Miss, slow down, slow down." The little maid saw that her young lady was like a hungry wolf, picking up a water bag and pouring it into her mouth. She no longer had the image of a lady in the past. She quickly patted her back for fear of choking.
When the black man saw the situation of the two people tied up in front of him, he knew that he might not be able to walk anymore, and forcing the two of them to walk would only slow down the journey. Although the two of them had predicted that the weather would not be good on the road today.
You will encounter pedestrians, and even if someone notices it, report it to the government. With the bunch of idiot policemen in Wuding Yamen, it is impossible to chase away two of them today. If you come here, I am afraid that they will just work on the road. But
, after all, he has been out in the world for a few years, and he knows that being cautious can only lead to the Wannian Ship. If the group of Jin Yiwei in the city comes, Yang Er and he will not be able to resist it. After all, those group of life-seeking ghosts are not as good as those idiot arresters.
There are many good players among them.
If he continues walking at this speed, he won't be able to reach the delivery place in the dark, and he may be chased by the Jinyi guards who are coming. He said:
"Second brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest. Let's just carry these two girls and run away one by one later. It's too late, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
"Okay. Let's leave as soon as we finish drinking the water. There are some good Qinggong practitioners in Jinyiwei, but we can't waste any more."
The two brothers looked at each other and understood. They put their swords into their sheaths, picked up the master and servant on the ground, and ran away.
Miss Song's scream "Ah!" The water had just entered her stomach, and there was a slight chill in her lungs. But she felt weightless for an instant, and then she was held up by the black man on her shoulders. Suddenly, the ground where she had just rested suddenly left the ground.
They were far away and the distance kept getting bigger. The two gangsters directly pushed the two of them and ran on the rugged mountain road, but it seemed as if they were walking on flat ground, and all the potholes on the road disappeared.
Walking like flying! This is the only thing she can think of.
The speed was getting faster and faster. As she accelerated, Miss Song found that she was getting higher and higher off the ground. When the speed reached a certain level, she found that each step of the two people began to take a larger step. Gradually, they stepped on the ground and flew directly out.
It took her four to five meters to land, and her speed did not slow down. At the same time, the height of each jump reached more than one meter. The trees next to the mountain road began to retreat rapidly, and she felt like she was riding a roller coaster. She went up and down, especially when she hit the corners.
The black man who was carrying him suddenly accelerated, then slammed his foot on the tree trunk at the corner of the path, turned directly in the air, and continued running.
Miss Song is a true lady of the family. She usually never leaves the house without taking a step forward. The farthest she has ever gone is to burn incense and make others laugh. I have never seen such a battle before, and I was immediately frightened.
She screamed. But the black man beneath her got impatient and slapped her directly on the butt.
"What are you yelling at? If you yell again, I'll throw you down and drag you away!"
The little maid in front heard the crisp sound from a few meters away, and the person involved, Miss Song, didn't even mention it. She felt a burning pain through her skirt, and she almost couldn't hold back the tears. She was ashamed and scared, but
She dared to shout again, and for a moment she suddenly felt that what the kidnapper said, who looked a little whiter, might be true. At least he didn't hit her little maid when she shouted just now.
But he just threw her out, flying five or six meters high, and caught her when she was about to hit the ground. The little maid experienced this excitement in an instant, and her little face turned pale with fright. She didn't know it for a long time.
When he came back to his senses, he naturally couldn't say a word.
After flying around like this for a long time, Miss Song had begun to get used to this magical journey. But suddenly, she felt that she was flying very high and passed over a huge boulder. Then, the footsteps of the person under her stopped at the top of a mountain.
of open space.
The two gangsters unceremoniously threw her master and servant to the ground, and then began to sit directly on the ground and gasp for air.
"Damn, I'm so tired. It's really not what a person should do while running with a person. If I had known, I would have run slower. This Wu Daode is really sick and chose such a place."
"Hey, stop talking. We brothers have to leave as soon as we deliver the goods. The daughter of a wealthy family is not so easy to tie up. Who knows if there are some scoundrels named Jinyiwei in her family." Yang Er, everyone on the way was also very tired. Directly.
Lying on the ground, breathing heavily, looking at the sun gradually setting in the distance.
Miss Song only felt the mountain wind on her face hurting. Only then did she realize that she had been taken away for half a day. With the speed at which she was traveling, she didn't know how far she was from Wuding City at this moment.
Somewhat desperate.
After sitting for an hour, the two gangsters gradually recovered. At this time, the sun was about to set. The remaining light struggled to bring a little extra warmth to the land, dyeing the clouds in the surrounding sky crimson.
.And from the top of the mountain, you can still see the river running along the river course into the distance, never getting tired.
The river reflecting the red sky stretches and twists through the mountains, like a red dragon lying on the land of the Wu Dynasty across the latitude and longitude.
But suddenly a burst of chaotic footsteps shattered the originally peaceful sunset scenery.
The two looked at each other and thought to themselves.
