Republic of China small businessman

The guard came to look for Bai Rongjiu, and urged: "Master Jiu!"

Bai Rongjiu pressed the hand on his waist, tightened it, and said loudly: "Go!"

The way to escape was not peaceful. The carriage encountered ambush gangsters in the woods, and the group kept staring at the winery. Fortunately, there was only a small group in the woods, which was not good.

But the bandit headed by them was extremely cunning, and deliberately drove the Bai family's carriage into the water bubbles. There was a water bubble swamp nearby, and the soil near the water source was unstable. A large clump of withered yellow reeds was probably a peat swamp under the ground. The surface water was frozen, but the water below The mud will definitely not be frozen, and the horse can barely rush through it by running faster, but the heavy vehicle has become the biggest obstacle.

The bandit drove them into the water again, and the guards of the Bai family fought back, and the group of people fell far behind, followed like jackals that had been hungry for a long time.

The carriage was protected in the middle, and it didn't get stuck in the mud while galloping, and the driver pulled the carriage out with all his might!

The horses of various colors were now covered with more than half of their legs in mud and mixed with ice, and the driver was not much better, but at this moment, it was important to escape, so he climbed into the car and continued to drive the horses forward. OK.

Bai Rongjiu caught up with him on horseback and asked, "Are you all right?"

The thick curtain of the carriage window was lifted, Mrs. Fang's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and a corner of the cloak in her arms was lifted. The baby she was holding tightly was not hurt at all. Us!" Horses are faster than carts, but Bai Rongjiu and his party have to make time for her.

Seeing that she was fine, Bai Rongjiu felt relieved, turned around and went back, he had two guns on him - one in his hand, and one for Xie Jing, who was holding him tightly behind his back, was enough.

One of the gangsters ran very fast, yelling strangely all the way to catch up, first shot a few times to scare him, and then shouted: "Our elder brother said, who is the distinguished guest from the provincial capital? Our master wants to take him up the mountain to talk talk--"

Without further ado, Xie Jing gave him a shuttle of bullets!

The man was proficient in horseback skills, and hid sideways in the horse's belly, but he bounced back after taking a breath, and shouted: "I don't know what is good! Grandpa advises you to hand over the big dragon ticket on your body as soon as possible, otherwise, none of you will be able to escape alive." This mountain!"

Bai Rongjiu suddenly laughed and said: "I thought it was why I didn't set fire to the building, so I was thinking about the banknotes on Grandpa!"

He came from the Bai family in Qinghe County. If the news brought by Xie Jing is true, those bandits may have sneaked into the Bai mansion more than a year ago. No one else will tell the news that he came from the provincial mansion. Bai Mingzhe knows everything Chu, the Heihe firm spread the news that he was going to build a factory, and the silver dollars on his body must be 10,000+-he didn’t have too heavy luggage with him, and he only brought a dozen guards. Those gangsters thought he hid the banknotes, Don't dare to set fire to the building easily, I'm afraid that a fire will burn all the money.

This group of people is very greedy, just waiting for this year's winter to eat a big fat sheep.

Bai Rongjiu's guard approached on horseback, and asked in a low voice, "Master Jiu, how do we go?"

Bai Rongjiu said: "You take five people to protect Mrs. Fang, and the others follow me around the mountain road!"

The guard hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Let them protect Mrs. Fang, I'll go with you!"

Bai Rongjiu glanced at him, nodded in agreement.

Bai Rongjiu changed the route, divided more than half of the people to protect the carriage, and led two other guards to turn around and rush into the birch forest on one side.He was always afraid of the cold, but at this moment he gave the fur cloak to Mrs. Fang and the child, and he was wearing a thin mink velvet silver robe that was often worn inside the house, and he was very conspicuous when riding on a black horse.

His side rode his horse and galloped, and the Ma Bandit immediately chased after him without hesitation. Obviously, he came to him with a clear goal.

Bai Rongjiu and his group made a detour on purpose. At first, the gangsters were careless, relying on the familiarity of the road and still chasing them, but gradually discovered the other party's intentions, and it was too late when they wanted to chase the carriage again. , One by one shot people from the horse to death, and fell off the horse without even screaming.

The gangster who called out whistled, and the echo could be heard across the mountain. He was also injured, but he couldn't retreat at the moment.Dozens of them were originally ordered to keep an eye on the distillery side, only waiting for the big brother from the Heihe company to come over and block them from both ends. It is safe to take down this group of fat sheep. Even if the brothers from the Heihe company do not come, they will stay here There are enough people, but the third brother who was the leader yesterday was afraid that the silver dollars he got would fly away, and he only cared about the money, regardless of whether the other party was hard-headed. The crippled can only be robbed hard!

They are not willing to let the "God of Wealth" in front of them go. The more injured the beast is, the more ferocious it is. It is time to show its fangs and fight to the death.

It's snowing again.

One of the guards around Bai Rongjiu died in battle, leaving only the last guard with two guns.

He took Xie Jing to change a horse. The previous mixed-colored horse was crippled. It was a coincidence that they were riding a white horse that was snatched from the winery last night by the gangsters.The horses in the Bai family's convoy were all well-trained, and they were very tame when they came back to their masters. Bai Rongjiu and Xie Jing rode together. This time Xie Jing sat in front, and Master Jiu was supported by the warmth of his chest.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the several hemp bandits who caught up fought with the guards.

Bai Rongjiu lowered his head and asked Xie Jing: "How many bullets are there in your gun?"

Xie Jing shook his head, he was already empty.

Bai Rongjiu handed him the pistol in his arms, "Take it!"

Xie Jing held the gun and turned around to shoot at the crook of his arm. The horse shook violently. He fired a few shots, but he didn't know if he could hit them accurately. The wind and snow hit even more. Do not open your eyes.

The guard shouted: "Master Jiu, go!"

Without any hesitation, Bai Rongjiu reined in his horse, turned around, and galloped away!

The birch forest is dense, and it will be impossible to find the direction for a while. The snow is thick and the horse is frightened. It barks and refuses to move forward. Xie Jing hugs its neck and comforts it. Squinting to see, the snow ahead is like smoke Connected into one piece, can't see the real situation.Xie Jing tried hard to find a way out, but he soon realized something was wrong. The rider leaned heavily on his shoulders, and he called out, "Jiu Ye?"

The people behind did not respond, Xie Jing hurriedly grasped the reins of the horse and hugged Master Jiu's arm, gritted his teeth and ran in one direction.

Xie Jing didn't know how long he had been running, the sky was getting dark in the wind and snow, and he hadn't heard the sound of horseshoes or gunshots chasing him for a while.

Xie Jing was glad that they entered the birch forest. Where there were trees, the soil was gripped more firmly, and there were perennial hunters in the forest here. If they were lucky enough to find a wooden house, they would be able to survive today.

But their good luck seemed to have run out when they got rid of the bandits just now. They didn't find a wooden house, and they didn't even see a cave that was sheltered from the wind. Xie Jing had to find a few thick trees and stop his horse.Bai Rongjiu was already in a coma, Xie Jing touched his cheek, it was hot, and then checked his body, the area near his waist was wiped red, the blood had solidified, a black and red patch stuck to it.

Xie Jing's eyes were red, she helped him to sit down, found a leeward corner and dug out a snow nest, tied the horse aside, and carefully supported Bai Rongjiu to hide in.

It was freezing cold, Xie Jing didn't dare to untie his clothes to check the wound, and he was afraid that tearing off the bloody clothes would cause the wound to collapse again. He couldn't do anything else, so he tried to think what he could do Help Jiuye, rubbing his hands and feet with snow all night, Xie Jing doesn't know anything else, but his hands and feet are hot, so he can survive in the snow. This is a survival skill he learned in the past.

Bai Rongjiu's lips were chapped, Xie Jing took a mouthful of snow, and fed him with melted snow water.

He doesn't think about anything now, he just wants this person alive.

If possible, the two of them can live together, if not, then let Master Jiu live.

Xie Jing was afraid that he would die sleeping here, so she didn't dare to close her eyes all night and called his name loudly.

In the middle of the night, Bai Rongjiu woke up once, moved his fingers a few times, and was held by Xie Jing, "Master?"

Bai Rongjiu said weakly: "Here."

Xie Jing didn't even soften from being frightened in the past two days. This time, the tip of her nose was sore, and she said in a low voice, "I'm scared."

Bai Rongjiu said softly: "Don't be afraid, the master is here."

Xie Jing seemed to have found a backbone, he was afraid that Bai Rongjiu would fall asleep again, so he kept talking to him, Bai Rongjiu cheered up a little, and chatted with him a few words.

"How do you know so much?"

"Because the second young master didn't do his homework, I wrote it for him. I know a lot." Xie Jing answered seriously.

"Dig Xuewozi also learned from Er Shao?"

The voice with a little smile made Xie Jing's ears burn. While holding Master Jiu's hand to warm him, he said in a muffled voice, "No, I will do it myself."

Bai Rongjiu was silent for a moment, then asked again: "What else?"

"I can do somersaults, and I can do dozens of somersaults in a row. I, I can do somersaults." Xie Jing said with a tone of asking for credit. In his last life, he had practiced martial arts for several years. All can be full of cheers.

This time I didn't get applause, but was teased in a low voice: "Okay, go back and read it for me."

"Hey."

"Don't sleep too, think about it now, what do you want Grandpa to reward you when you go back?"

Xie Jing shivered from the cold: "I want a bowl of glutinous rice balls."

Bai Rongjiu laughed, "Do you want a bowl of glutinous rice balls?"

"Well, if you want sesame or sesame stuffing, it's big and thin. It's best to add some sugar to the soup. A small bowl is enough."

"Like to eat this?"

"like."

Xie Jing hasn't eaten sesame glutinous rice balls for many years.

He likes sticky sweets. When he was young, Grandma Kou would steam rice cakes for him. Later, when grandma was gone, he followed Grandpa. At first, he was embarrassed to ask for it, but Grandpa figured out how to make it for him. Later, he was left alone.

He has wandered over half of the country by himself, from north to south, eating and sleeping in the open air, and it has been a long time since he sat down to eat a bowl of sweet glutinous rice balls.

Bai Rongjiu hugged him tightly, and exhaled, "After you go back, follow me and make sure you can eat a bowl every morning."

Xie Jing responded, rubbed the tip of her nose and smiled.

They hid in the snow nest overnight.

Fortunately, heavy snow covered all traces, and the two escaped with one horse.

After walking out of the birch forest for half a day, they found a small village. Xie Jing only said that they were passing merchants who had encountered bandits. .

Xie Jing purposely found a place close to the edge of the village, and the horse was also tied under the eaves, where he could see it when he looked up, and he could leave whenever there was any trouble.

There is no doctor in the village, but because it is close to the woods, there is an old hunter who often goes hunting in the woods. Xie Jing bought some wound medicine from him, poured a pot of hot water, and changed Bai Rongjiu's blood-stained robe. His muscles and bones were injured, but the wound was long and narrow, exposing flesh and blood. In addition, he lost a lot of blood during the journey, so Master Jiu developed a high fever that night.

Xie Jing decocted the medicine for him to drink, but he didn't know if the local medicine in the small village didn't work, it didn't work at all. In the middle of the night, Master Jiu was scalding all over his body, but he cried out for being cold.

Xie Jing put her cotton robe on the thin quilt covering him, climbed into bed again, carefully avoided the wound on his body, and tried her best to keep him warm.

Xie Jing's body was hot, and soon Master Jiu calmed down and fell asleep again.

The next day when Bai Jiuye woke up, there was no one around him, but he felt the velvet robe under him.

With a jade-like complexion, he narrowed his eyes slightly to look for it. Outside the window, someone brought fodder to feed the horses. He also greeted the people in the yard. It sounded like he was asking for a bowl of hot porridge.

Sure enough, after a while, a half-grown boy came in with a steaming bowl of rice porridge. It was probably too hot. After putting down the bowl, he pinched his ears. After meeting his eyes, the child immediately smiled. He ran over in three or two steps: "Master, are you awake? Are you feeling better? Are you hungry?"
