Chapter 15 on the wall
Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng looked at each other. Wei Shuisheng squatted down and put down Li Xiaoyao. Li Zongliang turned his head and looked at Li Erhuai with a relaxed voice and joy: "You'd better be careful. Shuisheng and I will explore the movement first. If nothing happens, tomorrow morning, we will turn around and go back to Chizhou City, and we will only rush for more than half a month. On the way, you can go back to Chizhou City.
"Let me go." Li Xiaoyao stood on the ground and jumped a few times, moved his hands and feet, bent his eyes and said with a smile, "It's really something. It's also something you escaped. It's best for me to go."
Li Zongliang hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Well, let's go further and get closer to the gate. In case something can rush over, go there." Li Zongliang pointed to a very small forest not far from the gate: "Go there first. That forest is not far from the gate, and the youngest should not enter the city. Go to the gate and come back quickly.
"Hey!" Li Xiaoyao promised clearly, and several people walked easily into the forest. Li Xiaoyao took out his indigo purse from the coat carried on Li Erhuai, put it close to him, and walked leisurely to the city gate.
It's dark to close the city gate. This is Wu Di's dead rule. At this time, it is not far from closing the city gate. Outside, pedestrians who are still a little far from the city gate hurrying to rush to the city. In case they are locked out of the city gate, it is difficult to hold back this night. Close to the city gate, they will walk slowly. At this time, When I entered the city and went home, it was still early to do things, but this time was too late to do anything. There was no need to worry. There are also some people who are in a hurry to get out of the city, and their steps are more hurried. At this time, it is either a very urgent matter or to delay Chen Guang. They all have to hurry up.
The vendors who set up stalls next to the city gate also began to gossip and slowly collected things to prepare for the end of the day's business. In the gate cave, seven or eight idle people gathered together to look at the new notice on the wall.
Li Xiaoyao walked under the gate, stopped and looked up at the words written on the gate. This place is called He County. When he was in Changfeng Building, he seemed to have heard Da Liu talk about it once or twice. Xiao Wei, the kitchen, seemed to be a countyman, which is not far from Taipingfu.
Li Xiaoyao followed the crowd into the gate cave and came over curiously. He looked up at the notice on the wall. There was a row of notices and four portraits on the wall. Li Xiaoyao swallowed heavily. The four portraits had three vivid paintings, followed by Li Zongliang, Li Erhuai and Wei Shuisheng, only Li Zonggui. The portrait looks a little plausible. Who painted this? But how can a few lines be drawn like this? There really are all kinds of people! It's just that the painting is too fierce. Her brother is gentle, how can he be so fierce!
"What did the superior say?"
Beyond Li Xiaoyao, a 40-50-year-old man asked the doorman. The old man looked back at the notice on the wall and raised his chin at the portrait: "Those are all murderers. They have something in their hands. They killed the officers and soldiers of Taiping Prefecture. If you see it, hide away."
"You can't hide! If you see this, there will be five taels of silver to earn! If you are lucky, you may earn ten taels! If you hide, you can hide the money!" A 30-year-old picker next to him rested on his burden, looked up at the portrait on the wall, and said with a yearning face. The old man spat at him: "Don't open your eyes to see. Is it the money you can earn? Four people killed more than 20 officers and soldiers! Those are all the soldiers of Taiping Mansion, not the remaining gatekeepers like me!"
"If it is said that there are more than 20, how can the government believe it all!" A young man in a long gown next to him interrupted. The old man glanced at him, waved his hand and continued to say, "Well, there are ten people, right? Four kills ten, or eight. It's easy to calculate, it's also one kill two! Besides, that's the army of Taiping Mansion! The guys in your hand are all controlled by the emperor! Definitely better than theirs! How fierce that is! And earn money. I really bumped into it. It's good that you can take your life! Don't stare at the silver with black eyes!"
Everyone laughed and said, "It's not! I'm afraid you have no life to earn this money and spend it!"
Li Xiaoyao also laughed with the crowd. It was the old soldier who directly reduced the number of officers and soldiers on the notice to eight! It seems that the wind of false reports from the top and bottom of the State of Wu is so strong that even an old pawn guarding the door clearly understands this!
"Alas!" The old man looked up at the portrait, sighed, and sighed with the old pawn, "The world is in chaos! Look, such a young man can be so ferocious! The world is going to be chaotic!"
"No! There is a war in the south, and there will be a war in the north. The world will not be peaceful, and it will not be peaceful day by day!" The old man took over and sighed.
Li Xiaoyao looked up at the extremely white notice and listened to the gossip of the crowd. After listening to a quarter of an hour, he slowly stepped back a few steps and squeezed out the crowd. At the end of the notice, it was written about reward, five taels of silver for the report, ten taels of silver captured alive, and five taels of silver for killing.
Li Xiaoyao went out of the city gate and exhaled a long breath. Five taels, counting himself, one person is worth one taels of silver, even if he catches it alive, it is only two taels of silver, but two plates of Ajiao dates are really cheap! It seems that the government didn't take them seriously, but just issued a notice as usual.
Li Xiaoyao was depressed and a little unhappy. Those people were not killed by them at all. They were killed by arrows. Those arrows were still dead. Those officers and soldiers chased them all the way. They knew that the eldest brother had no arrows, and they must also knew that it was not the eldest brother they killed them. They were in Taiping Mansion, because they were taken by the head of the security chief. At this moment, he was taken out to support the killing god again, alas!
Li Xiaoyao withdrew from the gate cave and followed the crowd rushing out of the city. He looked left and right at the vendors at the gate. Seeing a steamed bread seller, he hurried forward and asked with a smile, "Uncle, do you still have any steamed bread?"
"Yes, there are still seven or eight. How many do you want?"
"Give it all to me. There is food in my pocket. Don't panic."
"This guy is really right, but that's not the case! My steamed buns are a big money. Now I'm going to close the stall. If you take all of them, I'll take a look. There are nine in total. You can give me eight big money! I'll give you one more for nothing."
Li Xiaoyao lowered his head and took out eight big money from his purse, clicked it again, handed it over, and the steamed bread seller took the money, wrapped the steamed bread in mulberry paper, and handed it to Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao held the steamed bread and rushed to the woods with the hurried steps of the crowd out of the city. The little * who sells steamed buns, hummed the little tune happily, and stalled it into the city.
Li Xiaoyao flashed into the woods, handed the steamed bread to Li Erhuai, and talked about the notice in the gate cave in detail. Li Zongliang calmed his face and was stunned for a long time. Suddenly, he squatted on the ground with his head in his arms. Wei Shuisheng hurriedly squatted down and called him anxiously: "Big brother!"
"It's useless for me to harm everyone. Now I've been blacked for it. Before my death, my father shouted for me to take good care of everyone, I! It's really useless!" Li Zongliang wiped his tears with his palm and choked. Li Erhuai was smiling and holding a steamed bun to hand it to Li Zongliang. Seeing this, he hurriedly stuffed it back and squatted in front of Li Zongliang and persuaded him, "Brother, what are you talking about? We didn't hurt anyone. It's not to blame us. That man was not killed. If I had known this. At that time, you shouldn't keep your hand. Just kill the ancient brain to calculate!"
"Don't say if you can't speak!" Li Zonggui kicked Li Erhuai and squatted down to persuade Li Zongliang: "Brother, don't think so. The five of us, even our own brothers and sisters, are not so close. How can anyone hurt anyone to say this?! This is our life, big brother, think about it, but it's nothing, we are also deserters!"
"That's right. If you don't escape, maybe all of them will be killed in one battle!" Li Erhuai hurriedly said.
"Erhuai is right. If you don't escape, maybe this life will be sent in." Wei Shuisheng opened Li Zongliang with a smile and relaxed his voice. Li Xiaoyao pushed Li Erhuai away and squatted down next to Li Zongliang. He reached out and took Li Zongliang's arm. He bent his eyes and persuaded him with a smile: "Brother Erhuai is really right this time. Don't people often say that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other? This escape is to escape from our five lives. If we don't escape. Come out, we can't live! Besides, looking at this, the Taiping Mansion is not peaceful. If one day the Taiping Mansion is slaughtered by others like Ning'an City, we will escape another big disaster! This is all our blessing!"
Wei Shuisheng shook his head and laughed when he was told by Li Xiaoyao. Li Erhuai was proud and smiled proudly. Li Zongliang stretched out his hand and rubbed Li Xiaoyao's head and said with a tearful smile, "The young sister will also persuade people. At this time, we are afraid that we can't go back to Chizhou City, and we can only leave our hometown in the future. ."
"If we can't go back, we won't go back. Let's just go all the way east to South Vietnam! Where the water and soil don't nourish people!" Li Erhuai took a steamed bun from his arms and handed it to Li Zongliang. He said carelessly. Li Zonggui reached out and took out two steamed buns from Li Erhuai's arms, handed them to Li Xiaoyao and Wei Shuisheng, and took over with a smile: "That's right. Besides, there is nothing wrong with this. We are deserters and went back to Chizhou Prefecture. It's not suitable. It's better to go to South Vietnam. I heard that Nanjiang City is more lively than Taiping Mansion. Let's go and have a look!"
"Erhuai and Guizi are right. Whether it's Chizhou City or Taiping Mansion, they are all foreign villages, and they are no different from Nanjiang City. Our village can't go back anyway." Wei Shuisheng took the steamed bun. In the end, his smile faded into sadness and lowered his head. Li Zongliang reached out and patted Wei Shuisheng on the shoulder again, and the five of them fell silent for a moment.
