Bao Ye

Two days later, on the mountain path leading to Qincheng, a tall man with a machete on his shoulders led a group of fat, thin, and short boys in the middle of the path, and said aggressively: "This road is I opened it, I planted this tree... Needn't I finish the conversation? You should know what we are doing, right?"

Chi Yunfei: "..."

Xiaotang: "..."

Seeing that the two were silent, the big man glanced at the cart they were sitting on: "Take what you have, don't worry, I won't do anything, I will leave you some money and dry food for the road."

Chi Yunfei: "..."

Xiao Tang squinted at Chi Yunfei, and whispered, "To them?"

"Fuck." Chi Yunfei gritted his teeth, "Just like before, you attract their attention, and I'll beat that stupid guy."

"...Ancestor." Xiao Tang's lips didn't move, his voice came out from between his teeth, his smile was uglier than crying, "This is not the same as those people in Yuecheng, they are serious bandits with knives!"

Chi Yunfei said blankly: "I gave them everything, what shall we do after that?"

Young master Chi has no idea about going out, he packed his things by himself, and only after he went out did he realize how deceitful his carelessness and lack of thoughtfulness are.

It’s cold, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t bring enough change of clothes. The hand warmer is left at home, and you don’t bring enough water. The dry food is fried cakes, sesame cakes and fried chicken. It’s only been a day and night, and there’s nothing to eat It was - the pastry was so hard it would knock your teeth off, the puff pastry was sticky, the meat was dry and tasted terrible.

Xiao Tang was even more amazing, he brought dice and tea leaves, as well as high-quality teapots and cups, but he brought a lot of clothes, even many girls' dresses and sachets.

I really don't know which one is the pampered young master, he or myself.

When Chi Yunfei opened Xiaotang's big and small bags, he almost couldn't resist strangling him to death with the jacket and skirt.

Originally, they planned to wait until the foot of Mount Yue to buy some dry food - Master Chi is not short of money.

But if all this is given to the group of guys in front of them, they will starve to death before reaching Yueshan!

"Fight." Chi Yunfei stared at the big man without blinking, and said, "Catch the thief first, and capture the king first. As long as I catch that stupid big man, others will not dare to move."

Xiaotang: "..."

Xiao Tang took a deep breath, and said: "Okay, let's fight... I shouldn't be soft-hearted and agree to come out with you."

Chi Yunfei curled the corner of his mouth, then took a deep breath, smiled sweetly at the big man, and said innocently: "Brothers, I have something to say, and we brothers have nothing else... Here are some tea leaves and fried cakes , take them all if you don’t mind them? And these clothes..."

As he said, he picked up a pile of clothes and walked towards the big man. He took out a dagger from his cuff: "I just ask you brothers to let us go! If there is anything else you like, brother To put it bluntly, the younger brother will definitely offer it with both hands..."

The light in this dense forest was dim, and the sun was about to set again. Not far away, there were crows singing faintly, which sounded very ominous.

When Chi Yunfei approached the big man, he realized that the man was tall, much taller than Wen Xinyang, with broad shoulders and thick arms, full of muscles, full beard, and a pair of dark eyes that were not polite Looking up and down at Chi Yunfei, he stabbed the huge machete on his shoulder into the ground at will, bringing a chilly cool breeze.

"It's an interesting one...wait a minute." The man didn't let Chi Yunfei approach, let alone take the things in his hand, he just glanced at Chi Yunfei casually and said, "Tell me first, you two People look young..."

He glanced behind Chi Yunfei, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his dark eyes: "Take such a horse-drawn cart, but there is no goods on the cart, and there is no dry food and water bags to satisfy your hunger. There are a bunch of them, and the materials of these clothes are not affordable for ordinary people."

The man leaned forward slightly, showing his snow-white teeth, and smiled inscrutablely: "Where did you two come from? What are you going to do? Are you the wanted criminals of the government?"

Chi Yunfei: ...It's not a big, stupid guy with muscles all over his body.

"Brother!" A younger brother behind him said disdainfully, "Look at their skinny skin and tender flesh. They don't come from poor families. Maybe they are really wanted criminals!"

"Either it's the young master from a family who didn't get rich." Another person said, "I guess he's escaping from his enemies, right? Why are you talking so much nonsense to them? This kind of rich man counts as one, and strips all his ties. Let them die!"

Chi Yunfei's expression changed, and before he could speak, he saw the big man stretch out his hand and made a "stop" gesture.

The younger brothers behind him were well-trained and immediately stopped talking.

The surroundings became quiet again, and Chi Yunfei looked at the machete in the man's hand, and cold sweat gradually broke out on his back.

"Tell me." The man raised his jaw, "Where did you come from? Where are you going? What do you do at home?"

"..." Chi Yunfei had no choice but to follow the other party's words and talk nonsense, "He came from Yuecheng, and he is going to Qincheng to join his relatives. My name is... Tianbao, he is my younger brother, Tiantang. We are not considered rich. , my family is engaged in...cloth business, we were framed by our colleagues, our parents were both detained by the government, only I escaped, and I went to Qincheng to find relatives to find a way to save people."

Xiaotang: "???" God damn heaven, why don't you call it hell?And obviously I am older, so I still want to take advantage of me at this time!

Chi Yunfei's reaction was extremely fast, but the man has rich experience in robbery, who hasn't seen it before?He has a vicious vision, so naturally he will not be so credulous.

He didn't know what to think, touched his chin, and suddenly smiled: "Do you need help? You don't have to go so far to Qincheng, I can help you too."

Chi Yunfei was taken aback.

"That's it." The man took a few steps forward, pinched Chi Yunfei's chin haughtily, and looked him around, "I'll help you rob the prison, how about you exchange your family property for your parents' lives? It's a good deal, right?"

Chi Yunfei was speechless for a while: "Don't try to lie to me, Yuecheng is the territory of the Wen family, how could you get in? Let alone a prison..."

"Hey." The bandit waved his hand, "Today is different. Yuecheng will soon be no longer the Wen family's territory. To be honest, it's a good time for you to escape now. Maybe you can escape a catastrophe." .”

The bandit smiled: "It's a kind of fate that you and I meet here. Since you two are young, I will help you this time, brother. You and I each take what we need, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Chi Yunfei frowned, turned his head and looked at Xiao Tang, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Chi Yunfei wanted to ask him how he knew something would happen to Yue Cheng, but it was obviously not the time to talk too much, if he talked too much, he might be suspected by the other party.

But he also couldn't agree to the other party's return to Yuecheng. At this time, the vicinity of Yuecheng must be full of people looking for him.If he was caught back, it would be difficult for him to escape.

Seeing that Chi Yunfei rolled his eyes and just kept silent, the man snorted coldly and said, "You want to lie to me? It's not that easy! Tell me! Who are you?!"

As he spoke, the blade seemed to be comparable to Chi Yunfei's neck.

Xiao Tang rushed forward a few steps, with a smile like a flower, showing the patience to empty a gambler's wallet, and said in a very good temper: "Brothers, calm down! It's true that we are two brothers, we dare not lie about this. It's just... ...You can take whatever you want, why bother to explore the roots of the two of us? Who doesn't have a little secret in life? Our little secret can't hurt you at all, big brother don't need to waste time..."

"You don't look down on people! You have to be principled when you do things! You have to have rules! I, Xiong Lie, have always had three things!" The bandit leader who called himself Xiong Lie snorted, "The old, the weak, women and children are not to be robbed, and the poor are not to be robbed. Good officials of the people will not be robbed!"

Xiong Lie said: "If you don't make it clear, how can I judge?!"

Xiaotang: "..."

Xiao Tang was dumbfounded for a moment, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he was ecstatic, and immediately said: "Brother Xiong has righteousness! Since that's the case, I have nothing to hide! My eldest brother and I were actually persecuted by the government, and Yuecheng is Wen Home site, you should know this?"

"I know." Everyone shouted.

"My elder brother." Xiao Tang stretched out his hand and pointed at Chi Yunfei, and said tragically, "He was spotted by the young master of the Wen family, and he was going to be robbed to be a male concubine, but my family refused, and in the end he was persecuted until only my elder brother and I were left. , we tried our best to escape from the city..."

Xiao Tang grew up in a street of gambling houses, kilns, and opium rooms. He has never seen any drama of bitterness in the world?Immediately, he saw ghosts talking nonsense, his eyes were red, and he mourned sincerely: "We escaped with great difficulty, and we didn't take anything with us, only these clothes in the store. Please do me a favor and let us live Right! My elder brother, my elder brother is too difficult..."

Chi Yunfei: "..."

Chi Yunfei apologized countless times to Commander Wen, Mrs. Wen, and Wen Xinyang in his heart, lowered his eyes and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the vicinity of Yuecheng. The Wen family is sending people to look for our whereabouts."

Xiong Lie was stunned this time, and looked at him carefully: "Steal you as a male concubine?"

"……Yes."

Xiong Lie raised Chi Yunfei's jaw with the handle of the knife, and examined it carefully: "Well, she is indeed quite pretty, she looks like a little girl."

Chi Yunfei: "..."

Xiao Tang knew that this was Chi Yunfei's Ni Lin, and was afraid that he could not bear it and would fight with someone on the spot, so he immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Chi Yunfei, saying: "Brother, please do me a favor, Is it okay to embarrass my two brothers? We will never forget your great kindness!"

Xiong Lie didn't speak, only looked at the two of them, and said after a long time: "You two don't look alike."

Xiao Tang: "...same father and half mother."

Xiong Lie snorted with an inexplicable meaning, and waved his hand violently: "Go and find out the situation personally."

"Yes!"

"As for you two," Xiong Lie said, "come back to the cottage with us first, and make a decision after the situation is clear."

Xiaotang: "..."

Chi Yunfei held back his temper and said, "What if you don't let us go? How can we trust you?"

"Of course I keep my word!" Xiong Lie said angrily, "You two act suspiciously, I have to get someone to find out the situation! If you don't want to, shoot and kill! Choose yourself!"

Chi Yunfei: "..." Fuck.

Chi Yunfei was carrying the hay clippings that he had rubbed on the cart before, and he looked quite embarrassed, so he was dragged to the cottage with Xiao Tang.

The cottage is not small, it is hidden deep in the dense forest, there are men, women and children in the village, as well as captive chickens and ducks, etc. As soon as everyone entered the door, they heard dogs barking, and children rushed out barefoot, surrounded Chi Yunfei and Xiao Tang circled around curiously.

There was also that naughty one, who was good at "slapping" Chi Yunfei's buttocks. I don't know which adult he learned from, and said with a smile: "Little lady looks good!"

The voice was still milky and crispy, but the tone of the speech was already [-]% obscene. Chi Yunfei's face was darkened when he heard it, and he cursed inwardly: These bastards are far worse than Yangyang!It is simply heaven and earth!Sure enough, what kind of person teaches what kind of cub!

Xiao Tang squeezed the child away, and whispered to Chi Yunfei: "I think that Xiong Lie seems to be a benevolent person. I have seen a lot of scoundrels in the gambling shop. Believe me, he should be able to talk and count." Please bear with me, and we can leave when the people over there find out about the situation."

Chi Yunfei stared: "You have come up with a bad idea, what if the other party finds out that I am married to a Wen family matchmaker?"

"...Probably not?" Xiao Tang hesitated, "How could they get closer to inquire? Why don't they just wait for the Wen family to catch them? Don't worry, they will at most watch around and dare not approach." .”

Chi Yunfei gritted his teeth: "It's best like this."

"I can't help it either." Xiao Tang said, "A person can be seen as experienced. If I don't say that, he will only doubt us more. As the saying goes, the best lie is half-true."

Chi Yunfei: "..."

In the cold weather, Chi Yunfei wrapped several clothes around his body together, and his trousers showed a muddy ankle as he walked.He didn't take a shower for two days because he was on his way, and he was already annoyed, but now he raised his eyes and stared at that Xiong Lie's back, he couldn't vent his anger by peeling him off.

Xiong Lie brought him to a woodshed, and said: "I just caught a few a few days ago, and here are two more. Do you think I, Xiong Lie, are really stupid or something? Everyone is uneasy and kind, when I Are you blind? But don’t care what your plans are, once you reach my territory, don’t even think about escaping easily.”

Xiong Lie snatched Chi Yunfei and Xiao Tang's baggage, threw it to the younger brother next to him, and said, "Take it and divide it."

"Hey!"

The little brothers ran away happily, and some people shouted: "Such a good material, I can make a winter coat for my daughter-in-law!"

"Don't even think about taking it all! Anyone who sees it will have a share!"

The crowd's voice was far away, and Chi Yunfei's eyes were a little cold, and he didn't react when he heard the words, and said indifferently: "It's all external objects, you can give it to anyone, but if Brother Xiong doesn't preach the rules, I'm not so easy to bully of."

"Hey." Xiong Lie looked down at him and said with a smile, "This temper is much more interesting than when I pretended to be good just now."

As he spoke, he asked someone to unlock the door of the firewood room, and tilted his head: "Go in by yourself, and the food will be brought to you tonight. Don't worry, you won't be hungry."

Chi Yunfei pursed his lower lip, and entered the woodshed together with Xiao Tang. The door behind him was slammed shut, and the room instantly became dark.

Standing in front of the door, the two of them could smell the strong musty smell in the firewood room mixed with some inexplicable smell. It couldn't be called foul, but it wasn't very pleasant either.

Xiong Lie left outside, and a few children looked in through the window next to them, saying: "You dare to threaten our boss! You are dead!"

"Two big men, they look so motherly!"

"Disgusting! Ugly!"

"Give him something nice!"

As they said that, the boys untied their belts and peed under the window.Chi Yunfei had never seen such a battle before, his eyes were rounded, and he subconsciously stepped back a few steps, and quickly moved away from the window.

Xiao Tang didn't care, picked up a stone from the ground and was about to throw it out when he heard rustling noises coming from the depths of the dark woodshed.

Someone came out from inside, his steps were steady, his breath was low, with an unhurried and intimidating aura, before he arrived, the children by the window were frightened and ran away screaming.

Chi Yunfei frowned and turned his head, and saw the blurred figure stop at the junction of darkness and light. He could feel the other person's gaze firmly on him, which made people feel nervous about being watched.

"Who?" Chi Yunfei narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you doing in hiding?"

Xiao Tang turned the direction of the stone in his hand and held it in the palm of his hand, ready to hit someone at any time.

A moment later, a voice that made Chi Yunfei think about it came out from the eerie silent darkness: "Why are you here?"

Chi Yunfei was taken aback for a moment, then ecstasy flashed across his face, and he rushed over: "Brother Shen!"

Wen Xinyang finally came out of the darkness, followed by two people, one was Feng Ying who had followed Wen Xinyang out of the city, and the other was... Liu Qingchuan?

Wen Xinyang caught the daughter-in-law who rushed over, but anger appeared on his face: "I'm asking you something!"

"..." At this time, Chi Yunfei felt guilty belatedly. He wanted to follow Wen Xinyang secretly, so how did he know that he would meet here by chance?

But it's not right, with Wen Xinyang's ability, how could he be easily captured by a group of bandits?

Could it be that there is something inside?

Chi Yunfei lost his mind for a moment, and hurriedly grasped Wen Xinyang to look him up and down: "Brother Shen, why are you here? Are you injured? Or is it uncomfortable?"

Wen Xinyang suppressed the turbulent emotions in his eyes, and winked at Feng Ying, Feng Ying and Liu Qingchuan took Xiao Tang aside, creating a small space for the two of them to get along alone.

Wen Xinyang picked up Chi Yunfei horizontally, and walked into the depths of the firewood room—the room was actually quite large, with beds, tables and chairs inside, and besides the bundled firewood outside, there were some high and low inside. There are a lot of things on the shelves.It looked like a stolen trophy.

Wen Xinyang pushed the person to the corner of the wall, the two of them were just covered by the shelf, Wen Xinyang said with a calm face, "When did you follow? Tell me!"

"...you left... a few days later." Chi Yunfei wanted to move, but was held tightly by Wen Xinyang, so he had to give up struggling, and said pitifully, "I'm just worried about you..."

"What did I say when I left?! You don't remember when you turn around?!"

"...You asked me to wait for you to come back obediently." Chi Yunfei said stubbornly, "But I didn't agree."

Wen Xinyang froze for a moment.

He recalled that before he left that day, including when his mother said that he would take good care of Chi Yunfei, this person didn't give any response.

It turned out to be waiting here!

Wen Xinyang almost laughed angrily: "So, I wronged you?"

"Brother Shen, don't be angry, I'm not..."

"I will persuade Xiong Lie that you and Xiao Tang go back immediately."

"……Do not."

Wen Xinyang said angrily: "Chi Yunfei!"

"Be quiet!" Chi Yunfei covered his mouth, kissed him flatteringly, and said, "My name is Tianbao now, and Xiaotang is my brother, named Tiantang, remember? Don't say anything gone."

Wen Xinyang turned his head to avoid Chi Yunfei's kiss, his eyes were full of anger: "You have to go back if you don't want to, I will take you back in person!"

"It will delay your trip!"

"You also know? If something important is missed because of you, remember, it is your fault." Wen Xinyang looked at him gravely, "Military orders are like mountains, I am not discussing with you now, but ordering you. You reply No return?"

Chi Yunfei was speechless for a while, his lips were tightly pursed, his fingers were clenched into fists, and his eyes slowly turned red.

"I didn't want to disturb you, and I didn't want to... delay your business. Just pretend you can't see me, and I can just follow you quietly?"

"……no."

Chi Yunfei panted a few times, pushed Wen Xinyang away and said, "Okay, I don't dare to delay your major event, if something goes wrong, I won't be able to pay for it even if I risk my life. I... I Will go back."

Wen Xinyang looked at Chi Yunfei's leaving back, and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he punched the mottled wall with his fist, and for the first time showed an annoyed and shaken expression on his face.
