Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 12
The place names in Northeast China are simple and rude.

There are three trees next to the village, and the name of the village is three trees.There is a river next to the village, and the name of the village may be Toudao River and Erdao River.

The place Qian Xiaobao was going to was nearly eight miles away from the Maqiao River, so the name of the village was Balitou.

Qian Xiaobao sat on the donkey cart and chatted with the old man without saying a word.The little donkey couldn't move fast with two big living people and a cart of things.

Behind the donkey cart, two people walked unhurriedly.It has been three or four miles, but the two people are still following behind.

The old man became tense.He kept beating the ass of the donkey with a whip.But the cart was too heavy, and the donkey couldn't go fast anyway.

Finally, the old man jumped out of the cart to lighten the donkey cart, and took the reins to trot.

In the vast and sparsely populated Northeast, there are bandits as large as hundreds of people, and as small as a cat robbing a road with a stick in the grass by the side of the road. If you are not careful, you will not only lose your money, but may even lose your life.

The two people following saw the speed of the donkey cart suddenly increase, so they also quickened their pace to catch up.

"Nephew, I'm not talking about you. The old saying is good. Wealth is not in vain! You spent a lot of money shopping in Malianhe just now. How about it? Are you being watched by someone now? If it doesn't work, my donkey cart today You have to get in!" The old man said angrily.

"I'm still wondering, there are only seven families in Bali. How come we met people on the same road by such a coincidence?" Qian Xiaobao seemed to just understand.

"I just don't know if the two of them want to blackmail you or just do it together?" Qian Xiaobao asked.There was indifference in his tone.

"What are you trying to do? If the two of them are scumbags, we will have to answer for our lives today!" The old man said while trotting along the donkey.

"Really? Who's so brave, dare to kill me in broad daylight? Let me try!" After finishing speaking, Qian Xiaobao jumped off the donkey cart with his legs on the floor.

The donkey cart suddenly lost a hundred catties, and the speed of the donkey suddenly accelerated, turning into a donkey pulling the old man forward.

Qian Xiaobao jumped on the snow and didn't stand still, hit a slip and slipped, and sat down on the snow.

Seeing this, the two people who caught up behind couldn't help laughing.

Qian Xiaobao sat cross-legged on the ground and said with a smile: "The two big brothers are too hot (night) to me! Sending me so far away, I am so moved that I burst into tears!"

The two men slowed down and approached Qian Xiaobao.

Both of them were wearing ragged cotton jackets and trousers with patches.Looking at the face is also a simple and honest face.

"It seems that the two elder brothers also have a side job while farming. Why don't they stay at home for two days after the Chinese New Year?" Qian Xiaobao asked with a playful smile.

The leader, a man in his 30s, took both hands out of the sleeves of his cotton-padded jacket, and in his right hand was holding a pig-killing knife!

"What's the rest? People don't get rich and don't get rich, and horses don't eat grass at night and don't get fat! Take out all the money you have on your body if you are sensible! Don't be playful, do you want to play sloppy?" The man said sharply.

"Boss said these two words to my heart! It seems that you really have to do a good job!" Qian Xiaobao jumped up from the snow, and he patted his buttocks habitually and said.

As soon as Qian Xiaobao slapped his butt, the man noticed that there was still a small piece of dog skin hanging from Qian Xiaobao's butt.

This thing is called a butt curtain.People who live in the mountains all year round often hang a piece of leather on the back of their buttocks, so that their buttocks will not be cold when they sit down to rest.

Those who log in the mountains, those who look for sticks (ginseng), and those who dig medicinal materials are all like this.

Of course, bandits do the same.

When the man saw the butt curtain behind Qian Xiaobao, his aura suddenly weakened.Regardless of whether the person in front of them is a bandit or not, those who go into the mountains and often deal with wild animals are naturally tough.

The man shook the pig-killing knife in his hand and said, "Seeing that you are not very old, I will spare you today! Put ten yuan on the ground and you can go."

The person standing behind the man gave him a surprised look.He doesn't look as old as Qian Xiaobao.

No matter how they look, these two people look like grandparents.

"Hi! It's only ten yuan! Why didn't you say so sooner!" Qian Xiaobao made a gesture to reach out for the money as he spoke.

But as soon as he slipped on the snow, he got to the side of the man, grabbed his hand holding the butcher's knife, and twisted back.

The tip of the butcher's knife went straight to the boy's lower abdomen.

The half-turned man and the boy were stunned by this scene.

Before the point of the knife, Qian Xiaobao kicked the boy to the ground with one kick, allowing the boy to avoid the point of the knife.In an instant, the butcher's knife was also in Qian Xiaobao's hand.

There was only a thin line between life and death just now.

"Father!" The boy sat on the ground and cried out.

"If you don't teach your children to learn well, you actually brought your son out to rob Dao!" Qian Xiaobao forced the man towards him with a butcher's knife in his hand.

"Three old and four young! The family is too poor, and they plan to get two coins for the New Year. Just let us go." The man cried.

"I can only spare one! My hands are itchy today, so I must eat meat!" Qian Xiaobao gritted his teeth when he spoke, and the veins on his face popped out.

The man froze for a moment.

But that boy rolled on the ground and rushed over and hugged Qian Xiaobao's thigh.

"Don't kill my dad! Run, dad!" the boy cried.

Seeing Qian Xiaobao being entangled by his son, the man turned around and wanted to run away but couldn't bear his son.

As soon as Qian Xiaobao bumped his knee into the boy's face, the boy immediately fell to the ground on his back with nosebleeds.

"If you dare to move a step, I'll kill you, an inhuman thing!" Qian Xiaobao said every word.

He pointed at the young man lying on the ground with a butcher's knife and said, "If I see you come out to rob again, I will break your legs!"

With a flick of his right hand, the butcher's knife plunged into the snow.Qian Xiaobao reached out his hand and took out a handful of bills of different sizes from his pocket. He picked out a ten-yuan bill and threw it on the ground.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, let's buy some new clothes." Qian Xiaobao turned around and left after saying this.The two people who were standing and lying down stared blankly at his back.

The old man driving the donkey cart ran out for nearly a mile before stopping.When he looked back, Qian Xiaobao was walking towards him in a big way.

In the distance, the father and son were still in place.

Waiting until Qian Xiaobao approached and got into the donkey cart, the old man asked, "Is that the end? They let you come back like this?"

"Killing people is nothing more than nodding, people's hearts grow out of flesh. Just now I begged them to leave another ten yuan. They let me go because of their mastery," Qian Xiaobao said.

The old man nodded to persuade Qian Xiaobao and said: "That's fine, it's better to save money and avoid disaster. It seems that the hearts of these two people are not too dark, so they asked for ten yuan. Spend money to buy a lesson, and in the future, the elder nephew must not be in front of others." Lu rich!"
