[Chapter 2056 Yan Wushuang Fanwai (11)]
After walking for a few days, everyone arrived at a place called Heiliu Town.
Those who fled have no money to live in inns. I bought food in the town and continued on my way.
Xu Bo also bought two catties of refined grains and two catties of beans. These things are so precious now!
After walking a short distance, I came to a small village with only a few families. It was also because they were lucky that they met a wild boar of forty or fifty pounds that the village had caught and took it to the town to sell.
Gu Li, the leader of the group, saw it, ran to ask the meat seller, and then came back and asked everyone: “I bought this wild boar and shared it with everyone. What do you think?”
Buying meat from this villager is much cheaper than buying meat from a butcher.
Hearing that this wild boar is only five taels of silver, everyone thinks it is a good deal. The main reason is that on the way, everyone is eating dry food and wild vegetables without any oil or water in their stomachs, and they are very greedy for meat.
The villager who sells pigs is also a warmhearted person, who lends the cauldron at home to everyone. The villager’s mother-in-law even brought some seasonings over.
However, Gu Li declined the woman’s kindness and just put salt in the meat.
How could a person who can live to the present have not even the heart to take precautions. Washing the big pot is no problem, but I don’t know the seasoning.
Smelling the smell of meat, Yan Wushuang really felt that the villager was a warmhearted person.
Uncle Xu looked at him and said, “Don’t you think he is overzealous?” Now that the price of food has risen, meat is naturally more expensive. Such a wild boar costs ten taels of silver. Selling wild boars cheaply and borrowing pots and sending seasonings, how could there be such warm-hearted people in this world today.
Yan Wushuang felt that Xu Bo was too suspicious.
Xu Bo said: “When you go out, you must be careful. Otherwise, you will lose your life if you are not careful.”
Forty to fifty catties of wild boars, after cleaning, there are more than thirty catties of meat left. There are twenty-nine people in their group, including children, half of whom are adults. It is no problem for this young man to kill two pounds of meat by himself, so the meat is all cooked at one time.
It was Gu Li’s daughter-in-law who divided the meat, and she also watched people when she was scooping the meat. The people in front were all full of a tablespoon, and when it was Yan Wushuang’s turn, there was only a little more than half a tablespoon.
Yan Wushuang is a timid and cowardly young man outside, and he is also dumb, even if the woman has less flesh than others, he is sure that he will not dare to resist. Sure enough, Yan Wushuang saw that there was so little meat, so he only looked up at her, then silently walked away with the tin can.
Xu Bo carried the iron can in front of Hong San’s family of three, and said, “This child in my family said that the meat will be dumped. It’s a pity that it is dumped. Let’s eat it for you!”
Hong San asked, “What’s wrong?”
Uncle Xu sighed and said, “Gu Lijia’s meat beating is unfair, he got angry and said he would rather throw it out than eat it.”
Hong San wanted to refuse, but he didn’t expect his daughter-in-law to speak before him: “Then how is this money calculated?” But the home side is likely to be robbed, and everything will have to be re-purchased at that time. And this requires money. So, now a piece of silver can’t be broken into two halves to spend.
Hearing this, Hong San was very embarrassed, but he didn’t reprimand his wife. After all, the wife is also for this family.
People who practice martial arts have very sensitive hearing, so these words naturally fell into Yan Wushuang’s ears. These days, he and Uncle Xu have taken good care of the Hong San family. Unexpectedly, this family even had to care about the money for two bowls of meat.
Uncle Xu said cheerfully, “We will pay for the money.”
Gu Li’s daughter-in-law accepted the meat and said with a smile, “Thank you, Brother Xu.” After that, she also asked her daughter to thank him.
Qian Qian also said sweetly, “Thank you Uncle Xu.”
Xu Bo knew that Gu Li’s wife was shrewd, and said with a smile, “It’s just two bowls of meat, it’s not worth anything.”
After eating the meat, the cauldron was washed and returned, and the group returned to the side of the road. Gu Li arranged a vigil for four people, and then he went back to sleep after a chat.
On weekdays, the vigils are especially vigilant, but today these four vigils are hachia.
Yan Wushuang looked at the four of them and knew that Uncle Xu was right, there was something wrong with the meat. Yan Wushuang leaned against Uncle Xu, and in fact asked in a voice that only two people could hear: “Uncle Xu, how did they do their hands and feet?” Gu Li and the others were already very careful, except for this pot, everything else was useless.
“Think for yourself.”
After thinking about it, Yan Wushuang said, “If you talk about hands and feet, then there is only water. But this water is the well water in the village. Can the villagers not know if they put medicine in the water?”
Xu Bo said: “You didn’t realize that there are only five families in this village. Even if these five families are not accomplices, there are nine out of ten accomplices.”
After half an hour, except for Yan Wushuang and Xu Bo, everyone else fell asleep, including the four night watchmen.
Yan Wushuang looked at the person who fell asleep on the side of the road and asked, “Uncle Xu, what should I do now?”
“Never mind them, we’ll go our own way.”
Yan Wushuang did not agree: “If we leave, what will they do?” If they leave, these people may die.
“You want to save them? But have you ever thought about it, once we save them, they will be exposed. If you reveal your whereabouts, you will be very dangerous.”
Yan Wushuang said, “I know, but I can’t just watch them die.”
After speaking, Yan Wushuang looked at Uncle Xu and said, “Uncle Xu, even if you stop me, I will save them.”
Uncle Xu sighed, but didn’t object anymore: “Since you want to save it, then save it!” It only takes three days to get to Spring City on horseback. When I found Tang Xingping in Spring City, I was no longer afraid.
After half an hour, seven people came towards this side. In the light of the night, Yan Wushuang saw the men with big swords and spears in their hands, and the two women with cloth bags in their hands.
Seven killed six, leaving the man who sold the pork to them. Yan Wushuang asked, “What do you want to do?”
With Uncle Xu around, this man couldn’t bear it at all: “I saw that you have purchased a lot of things in the town, and your group of people looks and dresses well, so you know that you must have a lot of money on hand. ”
Uncle Xu asked, “Then what? Are you going to kill all these people?”
The man said: “Men are killed, women and children are sold in the building.” Unless they are ugly, how can they sell for a few dollars.
Yan Wushuang realized now that these were not villagers at all, but gangsters.
After killing these people, the two threw them into a big pit and covered them with branches. Then, turn back to town. As for whether Gu Li and his party would encounter danger, they couldn’t care less.
The next day, Gu Li and a group of people got up and found their heads heavy. When I think about what happened yesterday, I know something is wrong. But after inspection, it was found that there was not much belongings, only Xu Yan and his son were missing. But at this time, no one went to ask where the two were going, and everyone packed up and left in a hurry.
The body in the pit was discovered by passers-by that afternoon, and it happened that Xiang Hongda heard about it in the town at this time. He felt that there was something strange about this, and immediately brought someone to the village to examine the body.
