Chapter 82 The villain
Bang...Peng...Bang...
The sound of iron tools chopping bones sounded in a rainy night.
In a small house in a deserted ridge outside the city, butcher's knives were hung everywhere. In the foul-smelling pigpen, several fat pigs were curled up on the thatch, looking at the man under the eaves.
Bang...Peng...Bang...
It was raining at night, and there was only a small road between the mountains. It was originally a deserted house. After the Zheng brothers came, they packed up here. They raised a few pigs and used to be in the world, but now they are honest people. The two brothers married kiln sisters on the dock, raising pigs and hunting, and occasionally doing some business. The several acres of wasteland behind the house were often opened and buried, with no grass growing in a few places and covered with dilapidated thatch.
The oil lamp was hung on the eaves of the house, and there were objects inside the traps on the wall. The hat was still dripping with rain. The ox cart was parked outside the yard. The yellow cow was gnawing on the tender grass and occasionally looked at the yard that made a sound.
"Old Fourth, open the door."
The knock on the door sounded in the heavy rain, and several fat pigs hummed twice.
The man stopped the bone-cutting knife, spitted, and stepped over and opened the yard gate.
The man from the tower entered the yard, carried a pot of soju and came in, picked up the cooked bone stick and chewed it.
A woman boiled water in the room and said some gossip:
"One thousand taels, this meat ticket is so valuable..."
"It looks like a scholar. If the money is so easy to earn, life will be better."
"The one who gave the money was a rich man. I guess he would have to make trouble later. Let's go around first..."
"It's so heavy rain, people coming there..."
The intermittent voice sounded in the small courtyard.
In the kitchen of the side room, a wooden barrel for slaughtering pigs was placed aside, and the big pot was burned with hot water, and the air was filled with blood and smoke. With an occasional "cracking", the damp firewood made two light sounds, and the firelight in the earth stove illuminated the blackened walls.
"Woo..."
A rope hung down from the beam of the house. Cao Hua, wearing a scholar's robe, was tied with his hands and hung on the beam of the house. His feet were tied three feet away from the ground. His wrist was bound to block blood circulation, and his whole palm was already purple because of his binding.
My mouth was blocked by linen, and after I woke up, I felt dim and light in front of me, even my eyes were covered, and I could only hear confused words:
"After doing this, you can build a small courtyard in the city to save you from running back and forth..."
"Fourth brother, don't lose again, there's no left in the crotch..."
"You are a woman, go cook honestly..."
"By the way, see if that boy is awake. Don't wait for the mistress to come over for a long time, which will make the rich family angry..."
Footsteps sounded.
Cao Hua could hear the general information about a person from this step. A woman, about a hundred pounds, wearing straw sandals. He didn't know how he could hear it, but he was blindfolded. After hearing the steps, a rough outline appeared in his mind.
There was no door in the kitchen, so I walked straight to my face and pushed it down on him with my hands.
"Woo--"
In the dark kitchen, Cao Hua's head moved twice, as if he was confused about the surrounding environment.
"Oh, I wake up very quickly. I'm so impressed that ordinary people will be dizzy for a while. You're pretty good in your body."
The woman sneered, walked to the stove and picked up the spatula, and then made a sound of cooking.
"Woo--"
Cao Hua twisted twice, and broke away from the ropes of his hands and feet, but the medicine had not yet passed, and the strength of his hands and feet had not recovered.
Crackling!
The sound of cooking echoed in his ears.
A stout woman, holding a kitchen knife to cut vegetables, still remembering to talk to the meat tickets: "They are all miserable people. If we meet you, you will be lucky. If the rich family comes here later, you will be honest and beg for mercy. It will take too much effort to torture people. Two men who will save you from dying early..."
"Woo-Woo-Woo! Ahem..."
"Hey?"
The woman suddenly turned around and found that the scholar had spit out the sackcloth in her mouth. She secretly scolded the in charge of the incompetent work and could not even hold the scholar's mouth.
However, it was raining heavily around, and there was no fear of yelling around.
"Hero, who sent you?"
Cao Hua knew that the boat had capsized in the gutter, but it wouldn't work even if he died. Why did Su Xiangning hurt him? There were many people who killed him, so he had to tell which force it was first.
"What's the point of asking?"
Being blindfolded, Cao Hua felt the woman on the left fro between four to five steps, and his voice was ridiculed: "I offended the rich family in the city. You can't live today. I've seen many people who lost their lives for a woman. You'll beg for mercy sooner, so you can save your mistress from suffering..."
"That lover?"
Cao Hua was dropped on the beam of the house and swayed. In this case, he had to cheer up.
"It seems that you have a lot of worries. You deserve it. You don't even know where you were tied up..."
The woman was cutting the vegetables and did not notice the scholar who fell in the air. She actually faced her back with the slow twist of her body.
Crack!
The beam suddenly sank!
The tall scholar suddenly bent his waist and pulled his body higher with the help of the rope on his hand. The rope tied with his legs was broken and made a crisp sound. At the same time, his body was thrown back and then swung forward, his feet spread apart and then suddenly closed together.
The woman also had some skills. When she noticed something was wrong, she suddenly slashed back with a kitchen knife, but it was empty.
The next moment.
Cao Hua, who raised his body to mid-air, his legs were clenching together, and the woman's cheeks were just based on the source of the sound.
Bang!
The muffled sound of bone shattering.
The kitchen knife slides down and is inserted into the soil.
The woman's head was deformed with the naked eye, and blood flowed from her mouth and nose, and she didn't have time to make a sound and it went soft.
Cao Hua did not let go of his feet, and he clamped the woman's head with his body weight and slowly put it on the ground. It was still sound, but it was enough to be covered by the heavy rain outside the window.
"Crack!"
The sound of the rope breaking sounded, and the hemp rope that tied his hands was broken, and his body fell steadily to the ground, and the bending legs made no sound. The skill of these assassins in tying people was obviously not as good as Xie Yijun. If he only tied his hands and feet, he could break free with his brute force.
After landing on the ground, I pulled open the black cloth covering my eyes and looked left and right, and found that this was a kitchen with a piece of meat on the chopping board and the oil in the pot crackled. The woman on the ground was bleeding from her ears and nose, and her chin was tragic. She was wearing a coarse linen, but she had a delicate precious jade bracelet on her hands, which was obviously not just obtained.
Cao Hua originally wanted to knock the kidnappers out, but when he saw this, he didn't care whether he had killed the wrong person. He searched left and right, but the silver bill he carried disappeared. The folding fan and the musket were thrown in the corner of the kitchen. He carefully inserted the folding fan at his waist and the musket into his boots...
Under the oil lamp in the main house.
The two men who took turns drinking soju stopped at the same time, their ears moved slightly, and their voices did not stop, but their eyes met each other.
Zheng Sihai was talking, took out a big knife from under the bed in the house, and the man from the iron tower took out an octagonal hammer from the pile of hoes.
In the kitchen, Cao Hua picked up the kitchen knife from the ground and carefully approached the wooden door of the kitchen. It was raining heavily, and there was no one in the yard. He kept talking, but only one person was left.
Discovered!
His heart moved slightly, and Cao Hua's eyes suddenly condensed and looked at the wall on the right.
Faced with such a dangerous situation, the experience accumulated by his body is much richer than his experience. This thought flashed through his mind and rushed towards the door.
boom!
"ah!!!"
Chapter completed!
