Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 16
After muttering for a long time, I finally got my lines right. A wonderful story about a soldier and civilians uniting to kill four enemies in a row was freshly released.After it was done, the two laughed wickedly together.

Xu Gong is very satisfied with Yang Menglong, he thinks this kid is not only good at fighting, but also very generous, easy to talk, where can he find such a good boy!He slapped his chest wildly and said, if Yang Menglong is interested in enlisting in the army, he will definitely speak kindly for Yang Menglong in front of Lord Qianhu.It's a pity that Yang Menglong only wants to make a fortune now, and he is not very interested in these things.

At this time, there are villagers helping the old and the young one after another, struggling towards the direction of the county.There was really no time, so the deceased was wrapped in a broken straw mat, dug a shallow pit, and buried. There was no time to worry about it. The dead were already dead, and the survivors still had to struggle to survive. The hope of survival lay in the county town.They took their old clothes and what little rations they had left, reluctantly left this dilapidated home, and embarked on the road of survival.Everyone is at a loss in their hearts. No one can say whether they can come back after this trip, but what can they do?If you want to blame, blame yourself for being born in this chaotic world where human life is as cheap as an ant.Some old people stayed behind. They couldn't walk, and they didn't want to leave. They just stayed at home and waited for their unknown fate. It was useless to persuade them.

Xiao Yufang and Xiao Jun also got ready.Anyway, there was a car, so Xiao Yufang moved all the clothes, books, and so on, including the last two stones of wheat in the barn. Apart from the cheap furniture, there was nothing else. Valuable things stayed.Xu Gong looked at the pile of things, then at his skinny horse, and grinned secretly.Fortunately, I moved fast enough, otherwise the hard work of pulling the cart would have fallen on the horse. After this trip, wouldn't I have crippled a good horse?Now he didn't care about the fate of the skinny horse at all. It died after reaching the county seat. If so, wouldn't this majestic war horse belong to him?Exchange a poor horse for a war horse, no matter what, you are taking advantage of yourself!
Yang Menglong climbed into the cart and wanted to drive it, but Xiao Yufang drove him off. She said it was a trivial matter, and she would be fine.Yang Menglong had no choice but to ride the horse with a bitter face.He had learned riding in the equestrian club, but he was not good at it, and he couldn't even guarantee whether he would be thrown off... He is now a hero in the eyes of the villagers. If he fell off the horse, his butt would be broken into four Petal, where to put his face?But Princess Tianxian refused to take the same car with him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get on the horse to live the addiction of being a general.

Get ready, let's go!
Xiao Yufang swung the reins and was about to drive the cart when Xiao Jun called out, "Wait, Reed, the reed is still in the nest!" Jumping off the car, she ran to the backyard.

Yang Menglong looked at the sky, shit, it's already afternoon, if this drags on, there's no way to get to the county before dark.He called: "What are you going to do!"

Xiaojun didn't even look back: "The reed flower is still laying eggs in the nest, I want to take it away, or it will be eaten!" It disappeared with a turn, and then, "clack cluck——" the chicken crowed There was a sound, and a hen flapped its wings and flew out from the backyard. It ran fast, and Xiaojun chased it out, calling: "Help catch it!"

Yang Menglong became impatient: "Isn't it just a hen? What's the big deal? Don't worry about it, let's go, otherwise we won't be able to reach the county before dark!"

Xiaojun said angrily: "Isn't it just a hen!? You put it lightly, this is the only hen in our family, and the eggs it laid saved your life!"

Yang Menglong was stunned for a moment, jumped off the horse, picked up Hen and Xiaojun and put them on the car, and warned him: "Don't get out of the car again, and I will beat you if you get off again!"

Xiaojun hugged the terrified Luhua tightly and glared at him.

Yang Menglong didn't bother to pay attention to him, got on his horse, and waved his hands vigorously: "Let's go!"

The Xiaojiazhuang refugee team officially set off.The fleeing team consisted of two to three hundred people, and they staggered along with the old and the young against the biting cold wind, at a very slow speed.Probably because they were afraid of being killed, dozens of young and strong men tried their best to get a weapon before they set off. The better ones held a fairly sharp hatchet or axe, and they almost had to use firewood guns, dung forks, and rakes. Or a sharpened wooden stick, I don't know if these guys can pierce the armor of the Houjin Man, but holding it in my hand can always give me a sense of security.They were relatively lucky. For the villagers in other villages, the messengers just ran over to inform them to move into the county seat, and then left. Whether they died or not, whether they could reach the county seat alive depends on their luck, but what about them?There are three people with high martial arts skills (at least they think so) wearing armor and riding horses to protect them all the way. This kind of VIP-level service is the only one in a hundred miles.Especially the old man Qi Hu, who was full of energy after wearing cotton armor and a sword and bow, with a straight waist, like a veteran who has been through battles for a long time. Seeing him, everyone seems to have found the backbone.

Yang Menglong felt that this old man was very mysterious. He looked like a tenant farmer who didn't even have enough to eat, but he knew the military well. After putting on armor and a knife, his whole body was filled with murderous aura. He was definitely not an ordinary person.Why such a number one person was reduced to working as a tenant farmer for the landlord in a remote village without even enough food to eat is really hard not to make people curious, but he is silent, and it is not easy for him to ask. Some things are better not to be asked. It's better to be clear.

There are so many old and weak women and children, and it is freezing cold, walking very slowly, almost moving slowly.Fortunately, it didn't rain, otherwise the road would be muddy, and the walking would be even slower.Xu Gong kept urging everyone to leave quickly, he didn't want to spend the night in the wild, but he couldn't get up sooner, the team was still moving slowly.At that time, an army could travel forty or fifty miles a day, and it was considered an elite division. Even soldiers could do this, let alone a group of ordinary people.He said helplessly to Yang Menglong: "It seems that it is very difficult to reach the county seat before dark."

Yang Menglong nodded, looking anxiously at the long line, thinking to himself why didn't God give him a few Dongfeng trucks?If only there was such a thing, it would be great for this kind of people to easily load into the car, and arrive at the county town with a kick of fuel, so there is no need to move slowly on the road, drinking the northwest wind!Moreover, Dongfeng Daka is still a magic weapon for defeating the enemy. After encountering the Golden Cavalry, they don't talk much, just drive over and kill as many as they come, how cool!It's a pity that God doesn't even give him a wheel, let alone Dongfeng Daka.

"Grandpa, I want to ride a horse!"

A childish voice sounded, and Yang Menglong looked away, and saw a little boy sitting on the cart, looking at Qi Hu with pleading eyes.This child is about twelve or thirteen years old. He is relatively thin, but taller than other children of the same age. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, which seems to be incompatible with his age. He seems to be born with perseverance. This child is not simple.

Qi Hu scolded: "Stay in the car honestly, what kind of horse are you riding!"

The little boy felt aggrieved and said loudly, "I just want to ride a horse!"

Yang Menglong galloped over and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Qi Hu said: "This is the grandson of the old man. He has been active since he was a child, and he can't stop all day long. Don't be offended, my lord."

Yang Menglong reached out and pinched the little boy's face and asked, "What's your name?"

The little boy was not afraid of him at all, and quickly replied: "Polu, Qi Polu!"

Yang Menglong said: "This name is really imposing. Little Polu, can you ride a horse?"

Qi Polu snorted: "Why not? I ride better than you!"

Qi Hu yelled: "Presumptuous! How can you talk to the young master like this!"

Qi Polu shrank his neck in fright, and didn't dare to speak anymore.But Yang Menglong didn't take it seriously, and put the bridle of the horse in his hand into Qi Polu's hand: "Get on the horse, let me see if your riding skills are really as good as you boast."

Qi Polu looked at his grandfather pitifully, his big eyes filled with longing.Qi Hu had no choice but to say: "The young master asked you to ride, so you can ride." The little guy was overjoyed, and sweetly called Yang Menglong: "Thank you, young master!" Without seeing how hard he was, he ran from the cart to the horse's back , lifted the reins and clamped the horse's belly, the war horse let out a long hiss, spread its hooves and flew out like a gust of wind, Yang Menglong really wanted to catch him back and spank his ass hard—it's okay, you go so fast What are you doing?Aren't you afraid of breaking your neck?But look at that little kid again, yo, the whole person is nailed to the back of a horse, no matter how fast the horse gallops, he is as stable as Mount Tai. This riding skill made him feel inferior... This little kid's riding The technique is indeed much stronger than him.He said to Qi Hu: "This kid also grew up in the border, right? His riding skills are really good."

Qi Hu nodded: "Yes, he grew up in the border gate since he was a child, and he knew how to ride a horse before he learned to walk. After returning to the customs, we couldn't even eat enough, so he never rode a horse again. Now Seeing such a good war horse, it's natural to feel itchy, so don't be offended, my lord."

Yang Menglong said with a smile: "No, no." He glanced at Qi Polu's galloping horse again, and sincerely praised: "What a good boy, he has such riding skills at a young age. When he grows up, maybe he will He will become a general and gallop through the deadlock!"

Qi Hu's face twitched slightly, and said: "I don't expect him to be a general, I just hope he can grow up healthy and healthy, and be an ordinary citizen, not like his father, his uncle, his uncle To die on the battlefield so early, leaving me a lonely old man..."

Yang Menglong was taken aback: "His father and uncle died in battle? Where did he die in battle?"

The old man's eyes were full of heart-wrenching pain, and it took him a while to utter two words: "Hunhe..."

Yang Menglong tried his best to think about the battle related to Hunhe, and was at a loss, but Xu Gong's body shook, and he bowed his hands to the old man with a big gift!Seeing Yang Menglong's bewildered face, he lowered his voice with a rare serious expression: "They are the descendants of the Qi family army!"

Qi Hu, Qi Polu, Qi Family Army, Hunhe...

A flash of lightning flashed in Yang Menglong's mind, I understand, I understand everything!
