The Republic of Heroes

Wu Xiaoliang said, it's broken.He only focused on checking the carriage, but forgot that he was in danger at any time, so he had no choice but to act accordingly.

"Don't shoot, I, I'm here to redeem the ticket!" Wu Xiaoliang immediately changed into the dialect of Jinchuan Street. Panshi is only a hundred miles away from Jinchuan Street, and the accent is roughly the same, which can reduce the vigilance of the bandits. In addition, it will be much easier to build a relationship. In this era, a local accent is sometimes an important condition related to the closeness and distance between people.

Hearing his local accent, the gun-wielding bandit really lost his vigilance, and said with a smile, "Hey, just after the meat ticket was caught up the mountain, the redeemer came, which is a good omen." Then he felt that he had said too much, not enough. Viciously, he lifted the gun up, stabbed Wu Xiaoliang a few times, and said viciously: "Stop talking nonsense, since it is a ticket redemption, did you bring the money?"

Wu Xiaoliang laughed and said, "Brother, you are joking, how can you give money first without seeing the meat ticket? Please ask the elder brother to take the younger brother, and go up the mountain to visit the masters."

The bandit saw that Wu Xiaoliang was going up the road, probably it was a crack found by the bitter master's family, and his attitude immediately became better.

"It's good to know the rules, so you don't have to waste your time talking." He said and stabbed Wu Xiaoliang in the back with a gun.

"Don't look back, go forward, be honest, don't play tricks."

The bandits put on a pretentious warning.

Then someone came forward, covered his eyes with a black cloth, and then took the pistol and dagger from him.After pushing and shoving for about ten minutes, someone shouted: "Li Laosi, where did you catch your tongue, you boy should not go to the mountains to catch people, there is not enough food!"

"Damn, it looks like you have shot one by one, and the eighteen hells are waiting for you in your next life."

……

After some bickering, it seemed that after passing through a gate and entering a room, someone untied the cloth strips covering their heads.

Wu Xiaoliang felt his eyes brighten up. Since he had been blindfolded for a long time, he was still a little uncomfortable seeing the sunlight suddenly, so he had to narrow his eyes to observe the situation inside the house.It wasn't until the bandit who brought him in withdrew and closed the door that the light in the room dimmed immediately, and he gradually got used to the light in the room.

The house is similar to Li Zhenqing’s house in Sifangding. It is also a skeleton made of logs. Yellow mud grass stalks are smeared in the gaps. The ground is paved with black volcanic sand. For the sake of use.

Looking inside, there is a lean man sitting cross-legged on the dark kang, his eyes closed, and the fat homemade gown can no longer distinguish the color, which looks a bit funny on his body. He is holding an extremely long dry pipe, made of copper. The cigarette pot flickered on and off.

Wu Xiaoliang understood that he was smoking and hadn't fallen asleep, otherwise, seeing him as an old monk, he would really think he was asleep.When he arrived, Xiao Luo told him that the head of the family didn't like other people talking nonsense, so if he didn't ask, don't ask for words, otherwise he might be offended, and it would be difficult to talk about ransom.

So, Wu Xiaoliang just stood in the middle of the room with a bag of cigarettes in such embarrassment.The lean man finally made a movement after smoking. He coughed a few times, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, and knocked his long eye bags upside down on the edge of the kang a few times. There was a crisp sound on the stone.

"To redeem someone?"

A question is simple and straightforward.

"Yes!"

Wu Xiaoliang's answer was also simple and straightforward.

"Well, the price of flower tickets is higher than ordinary meat tickets, do you know?"

Wu Xiaoliang really doesn't know how expensive the ticket is. He knows that bandits in the mountains call it a ticket when they kidnap a woman, and usually the ticket is not allowed to spend the night in the cottage, otherwise, if the reputation is ruined, it will be worthless, but this is the first time I heard that flower tickets are more expensive than ordinary meat tickets.He understands that ticket redemption is not about buying things in the vegetable market, there is room for bargaining, and if the bandits have gone down the road, he has to follow the rules unconditionally. In short, the safety of the hostages is the most important thing, and money is not a problem for Wu Xiaoliang.

"Everything is done according to the wishes of the master."

Wu Xiaoliang paused for a moment, turned his thoughts around a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"However, I want to meet the meat tickets to confirm whether they are safe." He still spoke Jinchuan Street dialect.

The thin man was obviously a little displeased, and replied in a hurried tone:

"People have just been caught up the mountain. I guarantee you will be fine. The money is brought, and I will return them to you in full. For four people, the ordinary meat ticket is [-] yuan, the flower ticket is [-] yuan, and the total is [-] yuan. Hurry up." Go down the mountain to raise money, otherwise the ticket will be useless after tonight."

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoliang's heart trembled. Spending the ticket overnight is equivalent to being useless, that is, it can be ruined by others.But then I thought again, that's not right, how did three people become four?Could it be that you want to blackmail yourself?Forget it, it's better to say one thing more than one thing less, as long as people are safe and sound.

"Master, even if the spent ticket stays overnight, I will redeem it with two thousand oceans. Please ensure the safety of the spent ticket."

The thin man heard the truth from Wu Xiaoliang's tone: "Hey, you're not a crack at the bottom of the mountain, tell me, who is that little girl?"

Wu Xiaoliang regretted that he didn't hold his breath, revealed his clues, deliberately concealed but was afraid of being fooled, and self-defeating would be a bad thing, so he had to tell the truth: "To be honest, she is my unmarried daughter-in-law."

The lean man laughed.

"Okay, I see that you are a straightforward person and have a temper with me, but I have to explain clearly, I am not the head of the house, I am just a third-rank house, and there are second heads and big heads above me. Remember that when you see me, I will Call it the third master."

Just as Wu Xiaoliang was about to leave, his heart skipped a beat. The location of this handover should not be placed in the mountains. If he brought money to be eaten by the gangsters, it would be hard to tell.

In fact, Wu Xiaoliang didn't understand the rules of the bandits. Once the kidnapping bandits set a price, they would ruin their own reputation if they repeated the redemption procedure. Dongbei Huzi has the most reputation. A villain like Scaru dare not be ambiguous about ruining his reputation.Before that, he had repeatedly told the Suidong Army that, to paraphrase later generations, it was a contradiction between the enemy and ourselves. People on the road would not only think that he broke his promise, but would even praise him.

"Third Master, I have another unfeeling request."

The lean third master became even more impatient, and waved his hand.

"There is something to say, there is fart."

Wu Xiaoliang suppressed the anger in his heart, and expressed his thoughts with a smile on his face.

"Is it possible to consider the place where the money is exchanged?"

The third master didn't expect this person to be so difficult, but he also confirmed from the side that he is not a spy of the government army, so he nodded for the first time and said:

"Tell me, how to consider the law."

"I want to set the transaction location in a shack down the mountain."

"What a shrewd boy, you underestimate us. If you were talking about the second child today, I'm afraid you would have been kicked out. But I can't be the master. I have to ask the boss for instructions. I can only feel wronged first. You hit it off."

Then he got up and got off the kang, came to the door, and called me.

"Lead him to the dungeon first, and wait for me to come back."

"Yes!"

The little guy is very respectful.

In this way, Wu Xiaoliang was inexplicably imprisoned in a dungeon.It was called Dungeon, but it was just a low house made of yellow mud. He quickly adapted to the dim light in the dungeon. In the dark dungeon, there was only a ragged man squatting in the corner.

When I walked in and took a closer look, I couldn't help being surprised: "Why are you?"
