Chapter 38 Encounter and Release The man in ragged clothes who came out of the back door of "Yuexiu Tower" seemed to be seriously injured. He walked with difficulty across the famous waterside bridge outside the city. He couldn't help but stop and sighed.
Turning back affectionately, he looked around the block
At this time, because I was going to the central street of the county to watch the county magistrate’s case-handling parade, the deep alleys were almost deserted and quiet, which formed a strong contrast with the lively central street.
The man shook his head, sighed softly, and continued to move forward.
"Thief, where are you going?!" Suddenly, a shout came from behind. It turned out to be the tea guest wearing a bamboo hat. The girl who was led by the tea guest stood aside in shock, not daring to say anything.
Hearing the shouting, the man couldn't help being startled. He turned around and said with great effort: "What else do you want?"
"Hmph! Do you think I can't recognize you when you put on makeup? I've been staring at you at the back door of 'Yuexiu Building' for a long time, and I bribed a little gangster to escape?! Huh, no way! Today I'm going to replace you
Heaven is the way to kill you, a villain who doesn't know right from wrong!" The tea guest did not hesitate, drew his sword, swung it over, and cursed loudly, "Devil, take your life!"
The man quickly dodged to the side, but after dodging the first sword, he could no longer dodge the second sword that followed. The sleeve of his left arm was cut by the sword, and then the sword tip was deeply cut.
Stab into his injured arm, blood immediately flows out
The little girl was just frightened and screamed, but her scream attracted the man's attention. She suddenly lay down on the ground, and a donkey rolled everywhere, rolled directly to the girl's side, jumped up, and grabbed her tightly.
He grabbed the girl's waist, but seemed to feel that he couldn't do it. He quickly stretched out his hands, strangled the girl's neck, and shouted to the tea guest at the top of his lungs: "Don't come over. If you take one more step forward, I, I will strangle to death."
she!"
The tea guest was stunned and put the sword into the scabbard angrily. He didn't want the girl to suffer any mishaps again.
"Back off! Back off, back on!" The man still yelled uneasily, but suddenly he yawned and trembled for no reason. However, the hands holding the girl did not relax at all.
The girl was strangled until she was about to die. She looked helplessly at the tea guest who was retreating, unable to say a word.
When the tea guest saw the man with snot and saliva flowing from his nose, he had a thought in his mind and thought: Could it be that he looks like an addict? If he doesn't take action now, when will he wait?
While the man was trembling, the tea guest jumped up, flew up and kicked the man on the back, knocking the girl down with him. The girl and the man were separated, lying on the ground.
Rolling towards the bridge, in an instant, the girl's legs were already hanging on the edge of the bridge!
The tea guest became anxious and quickly flew over, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the girl's wrist. However, the girl's body slipped out in the end, and her whole body was dangling in the air.
The girl was so frightened that she desperately called out: "Mr. Dongfang, help!"
"Hold on to me, don't relax!" The tea guest, known as Young Master Dongfang, held the girl's hand tightly and shouted, "Don't be afraid, look at me, don't look down, right! That's it, you will be fine.
,apple"
So they have known each other for a long time?
The man who was blocked by the wooden pier of the hydrophilic bridge was still yawning and making "little silk" noises from his mouth and nose.
He leaned against the wooden pillar, his hands trembling, and began to scratch at him. Sometimes he pulled at his collar, and sometimes he pulled at his already tattered clothes. He slowly curled up, like a sick stray dog, paralyzed.
On the ground
Suddenly, as if he remembered something again, he couldn't wait to take off a cigarette bag from his belt.
He carefully took out a paper bag from the patch on his clothes, spread it out, and then, stumbling, mixed a small bag of tobacco-like stuff and shook it into the pot.
He took a breath, wrapped the remaining tobacco, put it into the patch, then tremblingly dug out the flint, and shook his weak arms to rub the fire. Then, his absent-minded eyes drifted with the weak firelight, and finally
After struggling to light the contents of the smoking pot, he carefully sprinkled some powdery substance on the smoking pot. Then, he quickly put his nostrils close to the smoking pot and sniffed greedily.
Then, he held the cigarette rod in his mouth and took a deep breath. Then he raised his head, squinted his eyes, and exhaled softly. Suddenly, smoke curled up.
The smoke covered the man's entire head. He coughed lightly and couldn't wait to take another sharp puff. This time, he swallowed the cigarette without any reservation.
The smoke ran around in his stomach, and after a while, it returned to his mouth, and then he exhaled faintly. He seemed to be in a state of ecstasy, feeling much better. In just a moment, he immediately became energetic again.
The man twisted his head and neck, suddenly jumped up without hesitation, walked up to Young Master Dongfang who was still lying on the bridge pulling apples, and kicked him hard on the head.
Mr. Dongfang turned his head to the side and hid. However, the girl who had just pulled him onto the bridge was frightened again. She screamed "Ah" and slid to the edge of the bridge. Fortunately, Mr. Dongfang's hand did not let go.
So that she was dangling in the air again
The man laughed wildly. He seemed to have endless strength, and he seemed like a monster trying to eat people. He kicked hard again and again. Young Master Dongfang pulled the apple and flipped it to dodge again and again. The situation was extremely critical.
!
Suddenly, there was only a "crack" sound, and God changed his face. The strong wind rolled in the dark clouds, and the raindrops were like beads, rushing in. In an instant, the sky and the earth were in chaos.
The man who was full of energy just now succumbed again and kept tearing his clothes. After a while, he was already naked to the waist. His chest looked like it had been burned with a soldering iron. His mottled and messy hair was pushed back, revealing a picture of his body.
Quite a pretty face
I really can’t believe that this person is Ma Changfa’s junior brother Hu Songming?!
Who knows how Hu Songming ended up in such a miserable state?
Although Hu Songming was in a trance at this time and even vulnerable, Master Dongfang did not dare to be careless anymore. He pulled Apple onto the bridge with force, took the discarded bamboo hat aside, and put it on Apple's head.
Then, he drew his sword and was about to kill Hu Songming, but Pingguo grabbed him and shook his head to stop him.
"He is really pitiful! Let him go," Apple tried to dissuade Young Master Dongfang.
Young Master Dongfang saw that Hu Songming was acting like this, and he really couldn't bear to kill him cruelly. There is a saying on the road, "A hero doesn't take advantage of others' danger!" With this thought, he let him go, and then he held an apple in his hand.
Walking through the rain alley and heading elsewhere
"Apple, tell me, where were you last together? When?" Mr. Dongfang seemed to be walking in the rain holding Apple hostage. He kept asking questions all the way, "The prince is very anxious about this matter.
, I was originally going to order the relevant counties to help search for it, but as the sword-carrying guard beside the prince, I, Dongfang Xiao, had to consider the prince’s face, so I thought it would be better to investigate secretly! In addition, the marriage with Zhenbei Hou is about to happen.
, Don’t do it casually! At the same time, the Red Lotus Gang is very rampant, especially in Huai County and Ziyang area! Oh, it’s really shocking every step of the way! Needless to say, you also know that we are walking on thin ice now!!"
Apple was already frightened, but when she heard these words again, her legs felt like lead and her face turned sallow. She felt the seriousness of the situation. When she thought of the past, she couldn't help but feel sad, grievances and fear rushed into her heart.
After all, Apple is a girl who can't stand being frightened. The only way she can express her feelings is to cry. The pear blossoms are as miserable and sad as the rain. These low cries really upset Young Master Dongfang.
Apple is the maid accompanying Yan Zi, the daughter of Prince Xu Shen, the Marquis of Dingxi. This time, when the prince went to the capital to meet the Holy Master for his appointment, he went out with the lady and the maids Lihua and Mo Yan, the maid Haitang, to go to Huai County.
I was rafting on the famous Liuqu River, but who would have thought that it would happen on the streets of Huai County. I was curious about the juggling and was too absorbed in it, so I got into an accident. At that time, several government officials came out to impose some kind of business tax and perform juggling.
There was a conflict between the people, which caused chaos at the scene, and eventually the four people who were mixed in the crowd were separated.
It’s hard to look back on the past!
Pingguo stroked his temples with a snap of his fingers, then gently wiped away his tears, and said anxiously: "Mr. Dongfang, I was lured to that 'Yuexiu Tower', and they forced me..., oh, I'll take it.
What a sin for a few days! You came when I was helpless. I wanted to see you come but I was also afraid to see you come. Now, I don’t know where the ladies and the others are. If there is a miss, I will
How can you still live? It’s all my fault that Lihua and Begonia, who desperately wanted to come to Huai County to float a raft, ended up with something like this. No matter what, Apple still has to thank the young master for saving his life!..."
Pingguo kept talking nonsense with a hammer and a stick, and put all the blame on Lihua and Begonia.
After Apple's words, Dongfang suddenly remembered the young master who had helped him. Yue Yexia, those eyes that could penetrate people's souls, were so familiar. It seemed like he had seen them more than once?
"...It's a pity that it's not you? Who else can you trust? In lonely days, it's hard to keep company! Thank you for having the courage to tell you and feel the love in the world. This war allows us to understand each other. Our mutual help can shake heaven and earth!...
…”
Dongfang's ears recall this beautiful melody from time to time. Now that I relive it, it makes me miss it very much! It's a pity that I have given up on others' kindness. When will I be able to change my stubborn temper? As the saying goes
Well said, many friends mean many paths! Isn’t now the time when we need help? Alas...
Dongfang is starting to feel a little restless.
Pingguo still excused himself from his responsibilities by "playing the erhu and minding his own business". When he got to the emotional point, he would kneel down and kowtow. Mr. Dongfang held him up and comforted him: "Don't be so wordy. Now
It's important to find someone to save people! You'd better ask Bodhisattva to protect the ladies and the others and never fall into the hands of gangsters. That's the best!"
Apple began to cry again, and Mr. Dongfang was so panicked that he quickly stopped and just held Apple in his arms and walked forward quickly.
——On the waterfront bridge, a shirtless Hu Songming was lying on his back. He kept twitching, and the iron-like marks on his chest were constantly changing. Sometimes they were red, sometimes blue, and sometimes black. These colors alternated.
And every change made Hu Songming uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth and tried not to moan, but his frown could not hide his painful expression.
At this time, the rain is getting heavier and heavier!
On the streets of Huai County, the county magistrate and his escort team of the "Yuexiu Tower" faction had entered the Yamen, and all the prisoners were also taken into the temporary prison cells. At this moment, the pouring rain also dispersed the enthusiasm of the people watching, so three to five people
Groups of people hid under awnings along the street, waiting for the rain to stop and go home.
In a hurry to report to the county government, Radar, wearing a raincoat and passing by the Qishui Bridge, accidentally spotted Hu Songming huddled up in a ball, so he hurried over. Unfortunately, he was too thin to be supported, so he had to retreat to a house at the entrance of the downtown area.
Buzhuang called a few guys to help, but when they returned to Qiaotou, Hu Songming was missing.
