Xiao Han [Shooting Condor]

In the afternoon, the sun was shining, and there were numerous cicadas singing from the lush forest beside the road, making the air a bit noisy.

Two beggars were holding bamboo sticks, sitting on the ground, with a handful of peanuts in a broken bowl, sitting in the shade of a tree, chatting while eating.One is Li Hu and the other is Shuang Yuxin. They are both Wubao disciples of the Dirty Clothes Sect of the Beggar Clan, and their martial arts are not bad.It has been more than half a month since Xie Yao escaped from Yueyang City that day, but since this month, there has been no trace of him anywhere in the north. Xie Yao seems to have disappeared from the world.

"I think we are really going to 'evaporate'!" Shuang Yuxin's forehead and back were covered with sweat. He looked up at the hot sun on the top through the branches, raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat, "This old thief God, it’s still so hot in autumn, I’m willing to die of heat!”

Li Huzao was so hot that he took off his clothes, tied his sleeves around his waist, and was naked. He shook his head and sighed, "Who told us to stay in Chuzhou? If you go to the Western Regions of Tubo, you will be dead cold. "

Shuang Yuxin wanted to eat two more peanuts, but his mouth was dry and his throat seemed to be on fire. He couldn't eat the peanuts anyway. Thinking of the two of them still guarding here on a hot day, he threw the peanuts on the ground and complained : "It's the boy surnamed Xie who is to blame! If it wasn't for him, why would you stay here in the hot weather?"

Li Hu lowered his head and shook his head, not answering.

It turned out that the four elders in the gang discussed and thought that if Xie Yao wanted to escape from the beggar gang's control, he would go to remote places such as Mongolia, Western Regions, Jin Kingdom, Dali, etc., so the troops were divided into six groups to guard the gates of each side.

But to go to Mongolia or the Kingdom of Jin, you need to take the Huainan East Road, go around the Shandong East Road to enter the Kingdom of Jin, and then take the Xijing Road to Mongolia.The avenue guarded by Shuang Yuxin and Li Hu is the only way to pass.

The ancient road is slow, and the cars are rattling.

The two were about to talk, when they were suddenly attracted by the sound of lowing cows, and looked towards the end of the road.But I saw a big yellow ox walking in the middle of the road, tied with a rope, and dragging a large cart. Behind the cart was a large puff of corn grass.The driver was extremely thin, Li Hu took a closer look, only to find that it was an old woman with thick skin and white hair, her eyes were shining brightly, and she was quite radiant.

Shuang Yuxin and Li Hu looked at each other, nodded, picked up the bamboo stick tacitly, walked to the middle of the road, knocked on the broken bowl, and sang the tune of "Luolilian" loudly: "Quail clothes with a hundred knots Begging for food, whoever does good deeds obeys virtue..."

When the old woman saw the two beggars suddenly jumping out from the side of the road, she yelled "Ah" in shock, strangled the scalper's neck, and hurriedly drove them away before they finished singing: "Is the stinky beggar going to die? Get out of the way!" open!"

Li Hu took a step forward and said: "Old man, would you like to give me some money for your kindness?" The old woman hurriedly clutched her pocket when she heard this, and asked vigilantly, "You want to block the way and rob me?"

While the two of them were talking, Shuang Yuxin hurriedly went around to check behind the cart. There was a towering pile of straw behind the cart, and nothing else could be seen at all.But thinking of what the elders reminded him, he turned his eyes, raised the bamboo stick calmly, and stabbed it randomly in the straw pile.

After stabbing it a dozen times, he was about to stop when he suddenly stabbed something.Shuang Yuxin was startled, and before he could yell out, he heard an old and hoarse voice suddenly coming from the straw pile, crying out: "Old woman... old woman... come and see what kind of dog gets in here!" La?"

The old woman was talking to Li Hu, but when she heard the wailing from behind the car, she rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Damn old man, are you sleeping on your afternoon nap, are you going to die arguing?"

The old man replied again: "I'm wronged! I slept soundly. I don't know some bastard who was paid a thousand dollars stabbed my head with a stick. It hurts!"

Shuangyu News couldn't help being embarrassed, and quickly apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, old man, I think your straw is good, so I couldn't help fiddled with it twice." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Hu, paused, and then Then he said: "Old man, in the autumn tiger's weather, you are so bored lying in the straw pile? How about coming out to get some air?"

Li Hu knew what he meant, and hurriedly added fuel to the flames: "Old man, in such a hot day, don't you let the hole in your house die of heat?"

When the old woman heard the words "bah", she spat at him and said sharply, "If you die, I won't die either!"

Li Hu wiped the saliva off his face, feeling angry, but he didn't care about her as an old woman.

At this time, Shuang Yuxin shyly stepped forward, and said with a smile: "That is, that is, the old man should be in good health, and it will not be a problem to live to be a hundred years old."

He originally thought that the words were impeccable, but unexpectedly, the old woman's black and white eyeballs stared, and she spat at him with a "peh pee pee": "Smelly beggars are short-lived ghosts! What nonsense, my son has already lived 99 years this year. Are you going to curse him that he won't survive the twelfth lunar month?"

The old woman robbed the white with a gun and a stick, which made the two of them speechless for a long time.

At this moment, the old man behind the cart said loudly: "Old woman, this straw pile is indeed suffocating, please move away and let me breathe."

When the two of them heard this, most of the stones fell from their hearts, and they reckoned that it was not Xie Yao.The old woman turned around cursingly, and opened bundles of thatch, revealing the figure in the middle.The old man was twenty years older than the old woman, wearing a sapphire blue coat, lying on the straw in a sickly state, with horizontal wrinkles and white hair, he was indeed an octogenarian.

Shuang Yuxin looked at this person's face, thinking that maybe he was right in what he said, and wondered if he would survive until next year.

Although the old woman had a hostile face and cursed, she untied the sheepskin water bag from her waist, helped the old man up, put the water bag to his lips, and said, "Who told you to sleep in the haystack?" ? Drink some water."

The old man was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but it was fleeting. His cloudy eyes swept around the old woman's face, stretched out his right hand, and took a few swigs with his neck up, holding the water bag.

Li Hu and Shuang Yuxin saw all the actions of the two of them in their eyes. Looking at the right hand used by the old man at this moment, it is definitely not Xie Yao in disguise.Before they left, they were told that Xie Yao had a handsome face, but his legs and right hand were broken, and he was completely paralyzed.But even a paralyzed person has to be careful. This person is very skilled in martial arts, ruthless, insidious and cunning.

After the old man finished drinking the water, he handed the sheepskin bag to the old woman, and said, "Old woman, you can drink some too."A few strands of gray hair were wet with sweat and stuck to the wrinkled forehead. Seeing this, the old man hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe it off for her, and said softly, "I'll drive the car later, and you also come over to have a rest."

The old woman was taken aback for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at the other party again, their eyes met, and both of them were stunned.

But in the eyes of Li Hu and Shuang Yuxin, they felt that they were an old husband and wife, but they still loved each other, which was a good story.The two of them made fun of themselves, and they didn't stay in the road to block the way, they retreated to the side.

After a while, the old woman lashed the scalper's butt with a whip, the wheels rolled, and the car drove away.
