Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 13 Booty

After waking up, Yang Menglong was kicked into the bathroom by Xiao Yufang to take a bath.He couldn't do without washing, he was covered in blood, and the smell of blood alone was scary enough.This kid is not polite, he just washes it, anyway, he doesn't need to boil the water, so what are you afraid of?

So, he washed away a whole basin of water to barely wash off the blood on his body.While washing his body, he looked at the wound on his abdomen with lingering fear.Fortunately, the clothes he was wearing were made of cut-resistant cloth, otherwise the knife would have ripped his stomach open.It seems that there are no surgeons these days, and there is only one result of this knife, and that is death!

The toes also hurt badly.His side kick not only severely injured Tu Ketan, but also injured himself. At least two of his toes were broken, and he was so painful that he burst into tears every time he moved.His stomach was cut, two toes were broken, and it took half his life to fight off Tu Ketan. Thinking about it, I still have lingering fears, and I have a deeper understanding of the ferocity of Houjin Jingbing.

The crisis is over for the time being, but what should we do next?
He was still very confused, and he didn't know what he should do, or rather, he didn't know what he could do.According to the progress of history, in the next ten years, Hou Jin will enter the customs several times to plunder, each time getting crazier, and the most powerful one even took down Jinan, Shandong. I don’t know how many Han family sons People will die tragically by their swords.And the Ming Dynasty also reached the point where the oil was exhausted, and the rogues were like leeks. After cutting off a batch, another batch emerged, one by one, and finally captured Beijing under the leadership of Li Zicheng. In this way, the dynasty came to a tragic end.Then the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, from the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River, from Huguang to Sichuan, a sea of ​​blood, how many people will be mercilessly slaughtered, and the clothes of the Han family will be turned into dust and mud.Although he knew little about this period of history, and he didn't feel much about it at ordinary times, but now he came to this time and space inexplicably, and watched this ancient land being swallowed up by the haze of the end of the world. He was frightened and hesitant for no reason.

The experience of Xiaojiazhuang can only be regarded as a warm-up in this troubled world, no, it is not even a warm-up, the people who died in this village, and those who were killed in other villages and towns are not even worthy of being recorded in history. Leaving no trace, they are just a small, insignificant part of a bloody number.Hou Jin won't care, and the Ming Dynasty...can't do anything if they want to care. Both the dead and the survivors are destined to be forgotten, as if nothing happened.But... these are living lives after all, not ignorant vegetation!This can't go on like this. If it goes on like this, the tragedy will continue to happen until the land of China is submerged in the sea of ​​blood!
But what can he do?One Taketan almost killed him. Among the 10,000+ army of Houjin, there are more than tens of thousands of people with the skills of Taketan. How many people?
His head hurt from thinking about it, and he couldn't figure out a clue, and he was a little crazy.At this time, he heard Xiao Yufang calling: "Young Master Yang, have you finished washing?"

Yang Menglong shook his head vigorously, put these messy thoughts to the back of his head, and said, "Okay, okay." He wiped off the water on his body in twos and then picked up his clothes and put them on.His suit was covered in blood, so of course he couldn't wear it anymore. What Xiao Yufang was wearing now was the clothes that Xiao Yufang dug out from the closet. Well, it was the clothes of the original owner of this house. A set of navy blue clothes was not bad. It fits well, but there are a few places where it has been washed white. It seems that the landowner's life was not very easy when he was alive.He is not used to this kind of clothes, he always feels uncomfortable when he puts them on, either something is wrong here or there is awkward there, he has been busy for a long time but didn't put it on properly.

Xiao Yufang urged him again: "Mr. Qi is here, and he said he would return your things to you..."

Yang Menglong yelled inwardly that something was wrong, he was so frightened just now, he threw away the dog-leg knife, sniper crossbow, and crossbow bolts, these things were all the equipment he depended on to save his life, what if he lost them?He hurriedly shouted: "Where is that old man? I'll be right there!" Regardless of whether he was dressed neatly, he grabbed his belt and tied it around his waist, tied a knot again, and ran out barefoot.Xiao Yufang was outside the bathroom, and she was quite surprised when she saw him dressed in a mess: "You...why are you dressed like this?"

Yang Menglong said: "You can't blame me for this. If you want to blame it, blame the clothes for being too difficult to wear! By the way, where is that old man? Are all my things still there?"

Xiao Yufang said: "Mr. Qi is in the living room. He helped to find your knives, crossbows, and arrows. He also helped to collect the heads, horses, and weapons of the enemies. There is nothing wrong with them." Not much." She hesitated for a moment, but she still bravely stretched out her hands to help Yang Menglong tidy up the clothes, smoothing out the wrinkles while saying softly: "Mr. His name, you must dress properly before meeting him, otherwise you will lose your manners, which is not good..." This kind of behavior was really too intimate, her face was red to the bottom of her ears, her heart was pounding, Like a deer bumping around.

It's a pity that Yang Menglong was really lacking in skills and didn't notice anything wrong with Miss Xiao's doing this. He grinned and said, "Then help me do it better." He looked like it was a matter of course, and he was quite enjoying it.

Xiao Yufang helped him tidy up his clothes a little, and said, "Okay, let's go, don't keep Mr. Qi waiting."

As soon as the words fell, Yang Menglong disappeared, and he ran so fast!
The people in the living room have dispersed, so many people have died, the village is in chaos, everyone has something to do, who has the time to stay here for so long.So now, there is only an old man in his fifties drinking tea there.The old man seemed to be in good spirits, with piercing eyes, a strong body, and a calm demeanor. After so many people died, everyone felt that the sky was falling, and he was the only one who seemed to be fine.On the table are Yang Menglong's knives and crossbows, and beside him are several pairs of bloody cotton armor, four sabers, four pairs of strong bows, and a big sack.Seeing Yang Menglong come out, he put down his teacup and stood up, cupping his hands and saluting: "Old man Qi Hu, I have met a righteous man!"

Yang Menglong imitated the example, bowed his hands to return the salute, and said: "Don't be too polite, old man, I can't afford it..." His eyes swept over the table, fortunately, there were a lot of three weapons, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: " Thank you, old man, for bringing back the weapon for me, otherwise I will be miserable, and I will definitely lose these life-saving guys."

Qi Hu pushed this pile of weapons in front of Yang Menglong: "The righteous man will take a look to see if there is anything missing. If there is anything missing, the old man will ask the whole village to help you find it."

Yang Menglong pulled out his knife and took a look, then picked up the sniper crossbow and pulled it hard, and then looked at the crossbow arrows. Thank God, both the knife and the sniper crossbow were intact, and not a single crossbow arrow was missing, even the two he shot. I also collected it back, and there was still a little blood on the arrow shaft.He smiled and said, "Nothing is missing. Thank you very much, old man."

Qi Hu said: "The righteous man must never say thank you again. You saved the lives of the whole village. We can't pay back this kindness. What's the point of helping the righteous man pick up weapons?" Cotton armor and weapons lying on the ground: "These are the armor and weapons of the four enemies, and they are all trophies of the righteous."

Yang Menglong looked at it, not very interested, but just let out an oh.

Qi Hu stroked his beard and smiled, took out a small bag, put it on the table and opened it, and a bunch of white and yellow things rolled out: "This is the silver money that the old man found from the four enemies. There are 950 taels of silver in total. 100 taels of gold, and a lot of copper coins..."

Honest man!

Yang Menglong's eyes suddenly became extremely bright, as dazzling as the light of gold coins.This old man is so cute, he actually handed so much gold and silver into his hands. Hey, what a simple common people!He grinned from ear to ear, damn it, finally don't have to be afraid of running out of money to buy food!He waved his hand and said, "Leave those copper coins for the old man to drink tea." He rolled up the pile of gold and silver, took out two silver ingots and one gold ingot from it, and stuffed them into Qi Hu's hands: " The old man has worked hard, you can take the money and treat it as my filial piety to you."

Qi Hu looked at the money in his hand and was stunned for a moment, then laughed. He didn't say whether to accept it or not. He just picked up the much larger bag on the ground, placed it on the table, and untied it.Holding a pile of gold and silver in his arms, Yang Menglong, who was laughing so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, immediately widened his eyes and stared eagerly, expecting greater surprises.That sack is ten times larger than the one containing gold and silver, and it can hold ten times more things. There must be a bigger surprise, right?
There was indeed a bigger surprise, but there was surprise, but no joy—the bag was opened, and four bloody heads were exposed, and one of them glared angrily. It was the unlucky reminder of Tu Ketan!Looking at these heads, Yang Menglong only felt a chill rushing along his spine to his forehead, the hairs all over his body stood up one by one, and he performed a wonderful break dance. Almost spit it out of the nostrils.With great difficulty, he swallowed the gastric juice back into his stomach, struggling to shout: "Old man, this is..." In fact, he really wanted to yell at this old thing: "Just show me this!?" Unfortunately, he was terribly frightened, He couldn't even speak completely, and he really didn't have any momentum.

Qi Hu stared at these bloody heads with bright eyes, and said enviously, "This is the most valuable trophy."

Yang Menglong looked left and right, but he couldn't see how valuable these heads were: "The most expensive trophy?"

Qi Hu was a little surprised: "The righteous man doesn't know?"

Yang Menglong was more surprised than him: "What don't I know?"

Seeing his bewildered face, Qi Hu couldn't help laughing, and said: "According to our army's rewards, our soldiers will be rewarded with 30 taels of silver if they win the first level of the saddle, and those who have won the second level will be promoted to one level. You can be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. If you kill a Niulu Ezhen, you can be granted a thousand households..."

One head can be exchanged for 30 taels of silver, three or four for 12, and 120 taels. If you save some money, ten taels of silver is enough for a person to eat and clothe for a year... Yang Menglong looked at these four heads immediately. It changed, in his eyes, these four bloody heads turned into a pile of white money... a lot of money...
