Indiana Jones

Chapter 352 White Mountain Black Water (01)

After ten years of returning home, his parents were full of tears. Although Si Xuanyi had not been away for ten years, his parents had always hoped that he would return home as soon as possible. It is even more gratifying for the child to go home. Three days later, the eldest brother who was supposed to go home in a few days returned. The only thing missing in this big family is the second child. However, the second child who has been missing for many years can be regarded as news. This is for the old man It was really a year full of surprises. All three sons were promising, at least they were all on the right path, which made him cry.

The elder brother's calmness has already made Si Xuanyi dare not recognize him. Is this still the reckless elder brother?He vaguely saw the shadow of his father in his elder brother. The elder brother had already carried the family and became the pillar of the family. His father no longer had to worry about business matters, which really reassured Si Xuanyi a lot.

Two days later, other people arrived one after another. Although Si Xuanyi had been with his family for the past few days, he was extremely anxious. The life and death of the two old fellows, the woodcutter and the farmer, were uncertain. How could he not be in a hurry, while waiting for others, he received a large number of equipment from the local military command underground station, but in order not to worry his family, he put all these things outside, and rented a house alone The other people who came to An Dun arrived a few days later when everything was ready, and he and his father said goodbye. After all, he didn't come back to visit relatives this time, and he still had his own work to do.

Before leaving, his elder brother said a few words to him instead of his father: Be a stable person, do things with peace of mind, have a clear heart, and serve the country.

Si Xuanyi bid farewell to his parents and led the brothers to continue heading north to the Changbai Mountains in Liaodong.

In order to arrive as soon as possible, he bought a few more horses this time, and drove forward non-stop all the way, only slowing down until it was getting late.

This time it was the old brothers from the previous team, as well as Fang Yuanshan, Dachun and Feng Youcai. The big waves washed the sand, and a group of newcomers came in. In the end, they either died in battle or were eliminated. It is true that there are not many left, but they can The ones left behind can definitely be regarded as elites, and the ones who came this time are all brothers who have shared life and death with each other.

"Boss, I didn't expect your family to be so rich and have such a big family business, and to serve as a soldier." Fang Yuanshan approached while walking.

"Rich? It's better than ordinary people's lives. The old man has worked hard for half his life to set aside this little family property. It's difficult to do business in troubled times." Si Xuanyi grabbed the reins and pointed at the mountains in front of him with his whip, "Turn over There will be a town shop just a little further up the mountain ridge ahead, we will spend the night there tonight, the mountain road is dangerous and we can’t travel day and night, so we can only set off tomorrow morning.”

"This is the first time I've come here, is it peaceful?" Zhou Chenggong asked looking at the mountains stacked on top of each other.

"Taiping? How can there be any peace these days? There are still worms in the mountains, everyone be careful." Si Xuanyi urged the horse to move forward.

"Zizi? What is it? Beast?" Zhao Chenggong didn't understand.

"It's what you call bandits, the king of the mountain." Si Xuanyi said, "These days, there are not a few people who occupy the mountain as king."

"It's not normal to have two bandits in the deep mountains and old forests." Li Siming whipped his horse and followed, "Hurry up, everyone, and get a place to stay before dark."

"It's been a long day of driving, and my butt hurts from sitting on it." Zhao Chenggong leaned away from the saddle and said while rubbing his buttocks. After not riding for a long time, his buttocks almost turned into four parts after this day.

"It's good to have a horse to ride, but it's even worse to let you walk all the way." Lin Feng beat his horse and overtook him.

The journey was farther than they expected, and they didn't arrive at the town until seven or eight o'clock in the evening. From a distance, the whole town was pitch black, only the big car shop at the head of the town was still lit, and the people in the mountains were asleep. Hei lay down, so this time can be called midnight for the mountain people.

Big car shops, also known as cart shops, are mainly set up near traffic arteries and city gates, providing simple board and lodging for passing peddlers at low cost. To serve some small merchants and hawkers passing by who can't afford to live in an inn. To put it bluntly, it is a civilian inn. You can stop for food and park your stock to feed the animals.

"I can only stay here tonight." Si Xuanyi looked at the dark town and said, originally he planned to find a better inn or borrow a night at a fellow villager's house, but they did come a little late, which is exactly It seems that there is no inn either.

"Make do with one night, anyway, hurry up tomorrow morning." Li Siming didn't object, and the others seemed to have any opinions.

"This one doesn't seem too shabby, with three fronts hanging in front of the door, it is considered a big store." Si Xuanyi urged the horse forward, "It's just that the conditions in this kind of place are not very good, so don't expect too much. "

A group of people dismounted in front of the store. When Li Siming entered, the clerk was sitting behind the counter and taking a nap. He yelled several times before the boy raised his head sleepily, rubbed his eyes and yawned. What's the noise? I'm not deaf."

"Do you have a room?" Li Siming didn't get angry with him either.

The man yawned and glanced at him: "There is no room in the house, there is only a big kang, there is no single room, the big pancakes are cold, the soup is cold, you have to heat it yourself, the animals are tied to the stables in the backyard, and the fodder is next to it." Heal by yourself, there is a well in the backyard, you can wash, drink and walk casually, can’t you live? If you live in the kang, you have to burn it yourself.”

"Sure, can I have some hot water all the time?" Li Siming asked with a frown, it was the first time I saw such a business.

In fact, it's not that this guy doesn't want to do business, it's just that there is no other house in these ten miles and eight villages besides him.

"There is water in the pot on the stove at the back, let's refuel the fire yourself." The man didn't even move the nest, he wrapped his clothes to see that he meant to sleep again.

"Have fun serving me, it's all you." Li Siming grabbed a few oceans and threw them on the counter, then drew out a gun and put them on it, "If the waiter doesn't understand, I'll let you try it."

"Hey... so it's the God of Wealth, he's a little ignorant, and he doesn't know gold and jade..." The guy's face changed really fast, and he slapped himself flatteringly, stood up and greeted him with a smile, "You Don't worry, I'll arrange it right away." A man like him who welcomes and sends people over the years has more or less seen the market, so he shouldn't be intimidated by a gun. There are many merchants with guns for self-defense these days, and they just live in them. It is still rare for customers of this kind of big car shop to carry this kind of pistol.

If you have money, you can do things easily. There is no time for a bag of cigarettes. Everything has been arranged. Forage and water have been added to the animals. Stewed eggplant, a large plate of pickles, peanuts, pickled soybeans, almost everything was brought.

"We are in a poor country, there is nothing interesting, a few customers are slow to use, if you have something to say." The clerk nodded and returned to the counter.

"Is there any wine?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"Sorghum wine." The man replied immediately.

"Come to an altar." Si Xuanyi said.

"Okay." The clerk happily brought a jar of wine, went to the mud seal and poured the wine while saying, "We are famous for its fragrance. After drinking it, you will sleep well."

Si Xuanyi took a sip from the bowl and frowned. He didn't say anything, but Zhao Chenggong was more reactive. He took a sip and spit it back and threw the bowl on the table, "What is this? How dare you fool me with dog urine? Grandpa? Think I'm a mallet?"

"Master Ke is joking, how dare I?" The man smiled apologetically.

"Oh..." Fang Yuanshan poked Zhao Chenggong, "Brother, have you ever drank dog urine?"

"Pfft..." Li Siming sprayed all the wine on the table, choking him so much that he coughed non-stop, and others laughed too hard. Fang Yuanshan's cold humor is really hard to guard against.

"Get out." Zhao Chenggong was furious, and he raised his hand to hit him. Fang Yuanshan turned and ran away. Originally, he should have gone with the woodcutter, but this time he was sent to another place because of the temporary staff. When this incident happened, the woodcutter disappeared, and he also rushed over in a hurry after receiving the news.

The guy with this little episode is a bit overwhelmed, not interrupted, not interrupted.

"You have mixed a lot of water in this wine, right?" Si Xuanyi put down the bowl, "We don't want to cause trouble, so take out the good ones."

"Uh..." The guy was a little embarrassed.

"Give me the ginseng wine you soaked in." Si Xuanyi threw an ocean on the table, "I've smelled it since I entered the room, don't say it's not there."

"This..." The man grinned and didn't know what to say.

Just when the buddy was in a daze, Zhao Chenggong had already moved the wine jar out from the back room: "If you have this thing, don't take it out, just use that dog urine to fool me."

"Grand...Grandpa...my lord, this is made by the boss himself, don't let it move." Seeing the situation, the guy immediately panicked and hurried up to stop it.

"What's the matter? I'll just give you the money, let's talk nonsense..." Fang Yuanshan lifted up his clothes and flashed the pistol at his waist to bark his teeth at the boy, imitating his half-familiar Northeast dialect.

"We just give you money, unless you can come up with better wine than this..." Si Xuanyi knocked on the table, "Even if it's your apology for our disrespect, drink your wine and save you from a meal Beat it, is it worth it?"

These few words made the buddy completely speechless. It turned out that the thing about him looking down on others just now hadn't passed, and he was waiting here for him.

"We won't bully you. I'll give you double the money for this wine, and I won't drink all of it. I'll save it for you. You can buy some delicious wine and mix it in. You won't be able to see it." Si Xuanyi looked at the buddy's cowardly expression very interestingly, The buddy looked down on Li Siming's virtue before, he really couldn't see it.

"Grandpa... I can't say no to you." The clerk said bitterly, "But it is true that the shopkeeper came here to drink this wine."

"If you want to keep talking about it, I'll drink it all up." Si Xuanyi patted the wine jar, "Don't think I don't know what kind of business you do here, but today the grandpas are not here to handle the case, so I'll let you go for now. "

As soon as these words came out, the guy's face changed immediately. What is the origin of these people?It seemed that the words were from an official point of view, but Si Xuanyi didn't intend to say too much. The purpose of saying enough was just to let the guys have a good idea and not dare to underestimate them.

"But don't worry, this shop of yours is not dark enough. I don't care about petty theft and forced buying and selling. As long as you don't kill people and sell goods, I won't see you." Si Xuanyi took a sip of ginseng wine, "It's all Don’t make me foolish if you’re messing around in this film.”

This time the guy is completely sluggish. Although their shop is not considered a black shop, there are not many merchants who come and go all year round. The service attitude is bad. If anyone is not pleasing to the eye, they will ask for more money. If they are not, they will see who has more things. If the things are good, they will steal some. Laxatives or something, although it is not too harmful, but there is no shortage of immoral things.

Although Si Xuanyi didn't grow up here, he has been to all the surrounding villages, so he knows the local conditions and customs quite well. Thinking of ten years later, this guy will still be the same as he was back then. He knew some rumors about this store back then, but today he has the opportunity to teach this guy a lesson.

The man was really suffocated and angry, but facing such a large group of people, he had no other choice but to continue to serve him well, but he couldn't swallow his breath in his heart. After so many years, few customers could be cured He, when a few people were full and went back to sleep, he took out a pack of crotons from under the counter, and was going to vent his anger by giving some medicine to the horses so that they would suffer tomorrow.

Thinking of this in his heart, he walked to the backyard in the dark with laxatives in his arms, he could walk back and forth here with his eyes closed, even though the backyard was completely dark, he wasn't worried about bumping into anything or being tripped over.

After bypassing the licorice stack, there is the stable. You can hear the sound of the horses eating night food. The horses after running for a day finally got a chance to rest. He knew that the horses were tied to the innermost trough. He carefully touched them, except for the forage. In addition to the smell of horse manure, he seemed to smell a scent, which made him a little strange. It seemed to be meaty, very strong and fragrant, and very familiar. He was a little puzzled, but then he scolded himself, It must be because of my nose. How could this stinky horse pen smell like meat? I'm so hungry.

He touched the side of the manger and took out the pack of laxatives from his arms, and was about to start. Before he opened the pack of medicines, there was a sharp pain in the bridge of his nose, and he was hit by something. At first he thought it was a horse that had been fed. He bumped his head, but then something fell into his arms. He thought it was some kind of wood that fell from the beam. When he grabbed it, it was wet and not too hard, not wood at all. It didn't make a fuss, so I put it in my arms, planning to go back and get the lamp to have a look.

The man gathered himself together, and continued to grope in the dark to unpack the package of medicine. He just opened it, and before he was hit by something on the top of his hand, it hurt even more, followed by another slap on the face. The slap made him dizzy, he was taken aback, where did he come from?At the same time, he felt that the pack of medicine in his hand seemed to be gone, and there was another wet thing. Now he was really scared. There was someone, after all, he was here to give the medicine. Even more frightened, he quickly turned around and ran, but kicked on the bucket on the side, unsteady on his feet and threw himself forward, and went straight to the well. He plunged headlong into the well. At this moment, he felt his back collar being pulled tightly, and then he was lifted up and thrown out. After flying a long way, he fell heavily on the ground. By this time, he was already frightened. Trembling with fear, he got up and ran, stumbled all the way back to the front, ran back behind the counter and hid for a long time, but no one came, then he poked his head out in fear, there was indeed no one, he was really scared just now Light, trembling, he grabbed the water bowl next to him and drank the water in it in one go. Then he was more or less settled. At this moment, he realized that there was still something in his hand. When he looked carefully, he found that it was actually a chicken bone. ...
