Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Desperation

Iron Foot Seven sat on the horse, and the horse took off on all fours and galloped forward.There was a violent fight just now, Tie Jiaoqi felt his heart beating faster, raised his hand to look, and was startled: he saw that the thin black line on his left hand had become thicker and was spreading rapidly upwards.The baby crying loudly behind him made him even more upset. Tie Jiaoqi turned his head and shouted sharply: "Don't cry!" The baby cried harder. Tie Jiaoqi didn't pay attention to the baby anymore, thinking in his mind: this time he was poisoned by a strange poison, and only by returning to Tiyun Valley of Yandang Mountain immediately and begging Master for help, could he have a glimmer of hope.At the moment, the horse whipped up and galloped south.

In the afternoon when I applied for licenses, I came to Liaocheng, Shandong, not far from the Yellow River.Tie Jiaoqi walked into an inn and rested for a while, and Yang Xiaoer went to find a nurse to feed the baby. The baby has been hungry all day, sucking on the nurse's teat and sucking non-stop.After eating, the baby fell asleep again. Tie Jiaoqi looked at the wound on his left hand again, it was already slightly festered, and faint yellow water flowed from the wound.He hastily took some homemade antidote from the Moving Mountain Sect, but whether it worked or not, he had to resign himself to fate.Not daring to delay, he hired a carriage outside and asked the driver to drive overnight.

The coachman hesitated and said, "Grandpa, the road is not peaceful at this time, there are foreign devils and Boxers, and I'm afraid it will be dangerous to drive at night." Tie Jiaoqi took out a stack of bank notes from his bosom, and said, "This is a one thousand taels pass for the Shanxi HSBC bank. If you travel overnight, you will arrive at Tiyun Valley in Yandang Mountain within seven days. These are all yours." .” The driver's eyes were fixed, he swallowed, and said, "Master, when will we start?" Iron Foot Seven said: "Now." The coachman said: "Okay, old man, I'll go clean up and ask another brother to drive the car with me instead. I'll be here soon."

Iron Foot Qi suddenly said: "Wait a minute." The coachman said, "Master, what else can you do?" Tie Jiaoqi said: "I still have a newborn child here, how can I keep him from starving along the way? Go find a way." The coachman smiled and said: "This is easy." Turning around and going back, after a while, he drove a carriage back, and there was a black and thin middle-aged man sitting on the shaft. The carriage compartment was very large, it could accommodate five or six people inside, and there were thick curtains hanging on the compartment door. The coachman lifted the curtain and said, "Master, look."

I saw a round wooden barrel in the carriage, about a foot high. The coachman smiled and said, "Master, it's filled with milk, enough for this young man to drink for ten days and a half months along the way. I promise to raise this young man to be fat." Tie Jiaoqi nodded and said, "Okay, then let's set off now." He stepped into the carriage. The coachman let out a "beep", and the carriage drove south.Along the way, the horses did not stop, changing people when people were tired, and changing horses when horses were tired, non-stop.After crossing the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.On the morning of the sixth day, I came to Jinhua, Zhejiang.

Zhejiang Jinhua ham is famous all over the world.Shuanglong cave is also a must for tourists. Along the way, Tie Jiaoqi's corpse poison had invaded his chest and abdomen, and he felt that his limbs seemed to be getting more and more numb, and his chest was also out of breath.Under the careful care of the coachman, the baby did not cry or fuss, but was rather sleepy, eating and sleeping every day, and eating after sleeping. Seeing that there are still more than four hundred miles away from Tiyun Valley in Yandang Mountain, he has a firm heart and a wide heart, knowing that as long as he returns to Tiyun Valley before dusk, his life will be saved.At this moment, only the sound of hoofbeats behind him was heard, and several horsemen and horses rushed over from a distance.

The coachman poked his head into the carriage and said, "Master, there are a few people chasing after us on horseback. I don't know if they are here to chase us. They all look weird." Tiejiao was startled and thought, "Could it be that Wuyi from the south of Sichuan has chased after him?"He hurriedly said: "Then there are five people on the horse, is there a short and fat man among them?" The coachman was surprised, and said with a smile: "Master is really good at predicting things, you can guess things without seeing them." The coachman thought to himself: These must be the enemies of this thin penny.If you catch up, don't implicate me.

Tie Jiaoqi said: "These are my enemies. I'm injured now, so I can't beat them. Let's not take the main road, but quickly turn to the left path. Even though it's a long way around, it will save you trouble." After saying this After a few words, he was already out of breath. Tie Jiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "When we arrive at Tiyun Valley in Yandang Mountain, I will give you three hundred taels more." The coachman smiled and said: "In this case, then do as the uncle ordered." With a whip, the carriage turned into the alley with a sound of "bang".

The next five people are Wuyi in southern Sichuan.That day Wang Xiaohu failed to chase the iron foot seven times, so he immediately sent a meteor rocket message, and the other three people came to meet Wang Xiaohu one after another in the afternoon.In the evening, Wu Zhen also came on horseback.It turned out that Wu Zhen placed Liancheng in the house of the fourth sister-in-law next door, leaving the corpse mastiff as a guard, and immediately rushed to join the four brothers.The five discussed together and decided to chase south.This Iron Foot Qi was tall and thin, with a strange figure, so it was very convenient to inquire about it on the way, and he did not lose his whereabouts along the way.After chasing him all the way to Liaocheng, some people said that they saw the iron foot Qi get into a carriage and head south, and the five men chased him again.

There were tens of thousands of carriages on the road, and the five of them tirelessly came towards them one by one.On this day, when I arrived in Jinhua, I saw a carriage in front of me suddenly turn into the path.Wu Zhen said to Tang Zhen: "Brother, do you see that the car in front is a little weird?" Tang Zhen said: "Go up and ask and talk about it." The five rode their horses and chased after him. Five horses formed a circle, enclosing the carriage in the middle.Wang Xiaohu said loudly: "That man, do you see a tall and thin man?" Before the coachman could speak, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a dark middle-aged man poked his head out and asked, "Why don't you leave? It's delaying the master's business, so you can't bear to walk around." There was a "snap" , Put down the curtains.

The coachman said with a bitter face: "Masters, the younger one didn't see the big man they mentioned, and the younger one has to go on the road. Please, gentlemen, make it easier." Seeing that there was nothing suspicious, the five people pulled the horse aside, and the coachman drove the carriage and galloped away. Wang Xiaohu said: "Brother, let's go to the main road. After all, there are many people and vehicles there, maybe we can run into each other." Tang Zhen nodded, and they rode their horses onto the main road.After galloping for more than three miles, Cui Zheng suddenly pulled the reins and said, "That's not right." The other four also reined in their horses one after another and asked, "What's wrong?" Cui Zheng said to Wu Zhen, "Accent." Wu Zhen's eyes lit up, he exchanged a glance with Tang Zhen, and said in unison: "Not bad, with an accent." Wu Zhen said "Oops" and said, "Not good." He rode his horse and galloped towards the trail just now, followed by everyone.After coming to the trail just now, and driving four or five miles forward, there was no trace of the carriage. Wang Xiaohu said: "Fourth Brother, what's the matter?" Wu Zhen said: "There must be Iron Foot Seven hidden in the carriage just now." Wang Xiaohu said: "No way." Wu Zhen said: "Do you still remember the accent that the driver and the passengers in the car said just now?" Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "It seems to be a Shandong accent." Wu Zhendao: "People from the south ride horses, and people from the north ride cars. This is in Zhejiang Province, and the carriage traveled a long distance, and the driver and passengers spoke with a Shandong accent. This carriage must have been hired by that iron-footed seven from Liaocheng, Shandong. .” Wang Xiaohu said anxiously: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and chase." He took the lead and chased down the trail.
