Smuggling Daming

Qi Yanming swallowed his saliva, and finally put the last cornbread in the basket into his arms. He was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something wrong, and suddenly raised his head, only to find that there was a person lying on the bed Already standing on the bed, he was about to smash something on his head with something in his hand, which surprised Qi Yanming, and tried his best to dodge to the right, only to escape the blow.

Qi Yanming's skills are extraordinary. Seeing that the other party has woken up, he will not stop doing anything. He reached out and grabbed the other party's wrist, and the knife in the other hand was already on the other party's neck. Move, I will not be polite if you move again!"

The residents of this house are an old couple, and it was the old man who was awakened. He wanted to knock down the thief with a stick, but he didn't expect the thief to carry a knife, which made the old man tremble. , Immediately threw away the stick in his hand and begged: "Hero, spare your life. The little old man has no money and nothing at home, and we are the only old couple left. It is really not worth a hero!"

Qi Yanming originally wanted to find something to eat and leave, but now that the family has been alarmed, he suddenly changed his mind, and immediately reprimanded: "Shut up, I'm just a little hungry, so I want to come in and find some food." Eat food, since you old man is already awake, get up and cook some food for me, I will leave after eating, I won’t hurt you and your wife!”

Hearing Qi Yanming's words, the old man who woke up didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to speak loudly. He nodded and said in a low voice: "Little old man understands, don't worry. I'll cook for you!"

Seeing that the other party is so interesting, and they are a pair of old man and old lady, Qi Yanming is not afraid of his tricks, so he asks the old man to light the oil lamp, and then he sees clearly that the other party is indeed an old man in his 70s and [-]s. An old lady who was about the same age as the old man was lying there, but what surprised Qi Yanming was that he and the old man almost got into a fight just now.But the old lady on the bed still didn't wake up.

Perhaps seeing the question in Qi Yanming's eyes, the trembling old man hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, my old lady has become deaf and confused since my son died, and she is by her side at night." Lighting a firecracker may not necessarily wake her up!"

Hear the old man's explanation.Only then did Qi Yanming let go of his doubts, and immediately threatened the old man with his knife: "That's it, you hurry up and cook, and I will leave immediately after I finish eating, and I will definitely not embarrass you!"

"Yes, yes, yes, good man. I'm going to cook now!" the old man said, opening a locked box in the corner, and took out a bag from it.It looks like it should be filled with flour.

I saw the old man scoop out a bowl of flour with a broken bowl, and then went to the grass shed in the yard to cook. Qi Yanming was worried that the old man would call someone, so he followed him all the time. If the other party dared to play tricks, with his Skill, kill the opponent and then escape.It's not too difficult.

But the old man looked terrified, and honestly started to light the fire and boil the water.After the water boiled, pour the batter made of flour into it, and then add some salt and green vegetables. This is a kind of rice often eaten in the north, called salty lump soup. It is very convenient and quick to make. It seems that the old man also I want Qi Yanming to finish eating early and leave early.

Soon the salty pimple soup was made, and Qi Yanming didn't care about the heat. He filled a bowl and sat by the stove and started to eat it. The old man next to him didn't dare to move, so he just sat there and waited for Qi Yanming to eat over.

After Qi Yanming had a bowl of pimple soup, he felt much more comfortable. Now he asked the old man to serve him another bowl, and asked the old man while eating, "Don't be afraid, old man. I was very hungry just now. So there is some conflict in words, I don't know what to call the old man, why are you and your wife alone in the family?"

The reason why Qi Yanming changed his title to be similar to the old hoodie was mainly to inquire about the news, especially if the officers and soldiers had been here?After all, he wanted to climb over Shizui Cliff tomorrow, so if there were officers and soldiers here, he had to be careful.

Seeing that Qi Yanming suddenly became so polite, the old man was also a little flattered and said: "Little old man understands that it is not easy for everyone to go out. The little old man's surname is Liu. Because I am the third in the family, most people call me Mr. Liu. Third or Third Uncle, the hero can just call me Liu Laosan!"

"Haha, third uncle is being polite. The so-called elder is the elder, so I'll call you third uncle!" Qi Yanming paused here, and then asked, "Third uncle, I wanted to leave Bazhou for something. But recently there are a lot of checkpoints on the way out of Bazhou. These checkpoints charge money for anyone who sees them. I am penniless now, so I can only take the path. I heard that you can leave Bazhou by turning over the Shizui Cliff next to you. ,Do not know is not true?"

Although the third uncle is old, but his mind is not confused, he can naturally hear that Qi Yanming's words are full of loopholes, but now his life is in the hands of the other party, so naturally he dare not ask more questions, and immediately replied honestly: "The good man said That's right, after turning over the Shizui Cliff behind the village, you are indeed out of the boundary of Bazhou, but the path on the mountain is very difficult to walk, and you may even fall into the cliff if you are not careful, so now few people walk gone."

Hearing Uncle San's words, Qi Yanming nodded. What the other party said was similar to what he knew, which meant that Uncle San didn't lie to him.Then Qi Yanming chatted with the third uncle for a few more gossips, and inquired about the situation in the village by the way. When the time was right, Qi Yanming asked, "Third uncle, have any officers and soldiers visited the village recently?"

The third uncle trembled when he heard this, and looked at Qi Yanming with a bit of fear, and he replied with evasive eyes: "A few days ago... some officers and soldiers did come here, but they were only in the village. I turned around, searched every house and left, and didn’t go up the mountain, and I haven’t been here since then!”

After listening to the third uncle's words, Qi Yanming was also happy and worried. He was happy that the officers and soldiers left after they came. He probably won't come here again in a short time. Found it, it seems that the imperial court really made great efforts to catch him.

But at this moment, Qi Yanming suddenly noticed that his third uncle was looking at him a little bit evasively, and his expression was a little strange, which surprised him, and he immediately guessed something, hehe smiled and said: "Third uncle, are you Guess who I am?"

Hearing Qi Yanming's words, the third uncle's bow trembled again, and a strange look appeared on his face, and then his body stopped trembling. After a while, the third uncle's face was calm He opened his mouth and said, "Is the hero the same as General Qi Yan who rebelled with the two generals before?"

"That's right, I'm Qi Yanming who the imperial court offered a reward of 2000 taels of silver to catch!" Seeing the third uncle call out his name, Qi Yanming admitted it openly. At the same time, he was also observing the expression of the third uncle. If the other party shows greed, then I will kill the other party with one knife.

As the saying goes, when people grow old, the third uncle saw Qi Yanming staring at him aggressively, and guessed what the other person was thinking, and immediately waved his hands again and again: "General Qi misunderstood, the little old man has absolutely no intention of grabbing him for rewards." And to tell you the truth, the little old man’s son also joined your army, but it’s a pity that he ran back a few days and said that he was killed by the officers and soldiers. Several generals fled to death, so he had to run back. home."

Hearing that the son of the third uncle in front of him actually rebelled with him, Qi Yanming was also a little surprised, and asked impatiently: "This is really a coincidence, but why are there only two elders in the family, third uncle, you Where did your son go?"

Seeing Qi Yanming asking about his son, the third uncle slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, don't mention it, didn't the officers and soldiers come to the village a few days ago, those officers and soldiers not only searched for your whereabouts, General Qi, but also inquired about the village. I was afraid that my son would be taken away by the government, so I let him live on the mountain for a while, and wait for the limelight to pass.”

For the third uncle's reasonable explanation, Qi Yanming also dispelled the doubts in his heart, and he remembered very clearly that he had indeed recruited soldiers in the villages around Shizuiya, so it was not surprising to meet the third uncle.

"All those who followed me, Qi Yanming, to rebel are my brothers. Uncle San, your son is also in the army. Naturally, he is also the elder of my Qi Mou. I offended Qi Mou just now, so please don't blame me, Uncle San." !" Qi Yanming stood up as he spoke, and solemnly bowed to the third uncle, which made the third uncle help him up in a hurry, without even daring to say it.

Although Qi Yanming didn't know the third uncle's son, since they were all rebels together, this made him feel a kind of intimacy with the third uncle, and his vigilance was relaxed a lot. He chatted with the third uncle while eating, From the third uncle, he also learned a lot of news from the outside world.

After Qi Yanming was full, he wanted to leave immediately, but the third uncle insisted on leaving him at home to rest.Qi Yanming also considered that it is now in the middle of the night, and it is impossible for him to go up the mountain at this time. It is better to rest at home, and go up the mountain after eating and drinking in the morning, and then go over the mountain and leave Bazhou in one go.

Thinking of this, Qi Yanming finally nodded and agreed to rest at the third uncle's place for a night, but there was only one quilt in the third uncle's house, and the old couple had to cover it, so Qi Yanming carried a pile of straws for fire into the main room, and then Sleeping at the door of the main room, the reason why he slept here was because he was not completely at ease with Third Uncle, sleeping at the door would prevent Third Uncle and the others from going out to call for someone when he was asleep.

It's a pity that Qi Yanming didn't expect that from the moment he agreed to stay overnight, he had already fallen into a dangerous swamp. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
