Chapter 21 Chapter 20 Yang Erpi

I thought it was broken, Fei Cui was going to hurt people, but then I thought about it, isn't there no one in this place?Are ghosts afraid of dogs these days?While shouting the name of Jade, I ran desperately towards the lake, and the more I ran, the more I felt something was wrong.Now that the moon is full and the stars are sparse, it is the time of high tide, and many footprints have appeared near the lakeshore, and some woodworking materials have gradually appeared in my sight.Just as I was curious, I vaguely saw someone raising a gun on the lake embankment. The hairs all over Jade's body stood on end, and she roared like a wild animal.It seems that these outsiders regarded the sudden appearance of Jade as a beast in the mountains, and both sides entered a highly tense battle preparation mode.When I saw the scene, I knew that it was useless to shout to death, so I immediately took out my pistol and fired several shots at the sky.

This trick really worked, and both sides were taken aback.Jade found out that it was me, and immediately became cheerful.The few people standing on the lake embankment probably didn't expect that there would be people in such a desolate place.They shouted at me from a distance: "We are passing businessmen, this, is this thing yours?" I knew that they were holding guns in their hands, and they were definitely not ordinary businessmen, so while pretending to be friendly and hospitable, I approached them cautiously: "Ah, everyone is so excited, it's so late, why don't you go for a walk? Hahaha, the weather Not bad!"

When the distance between us was so close that we could see each other clearly, one of the men holding a gun suddenly pointed at me and shouted: "It's you, Hu Bayi!" I was startled, and thought that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Could it be that the government has issued a cross-provincial arrest warrant for me, how could someone recognize me in such a remote place?As soon as the man with the gun saw me, he lost control of his emotions. With a hat on his head, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and his body kept shaking.I asked, "Brother, have we met?"

He stammered for a while, and shouted: "The shopkeeper is not good, the people from the caravan are catching up!" After speaking, he raised his hand and shot at me.I was already wary of these people, but he came down just right, I grabbed his arm tightly with both hands, clasped his forearm joint with one hand, and twisted his wrist with the other. He immediately disarmed him.His companion wanted to come up to help, but was slammed by Fei Cui. "Who are you?" "Don't, don't pretend. We are Boss Yang's people. We had a meal together in the caravan before. Why the hell are you pretending!"

I slapped him across the face, then picked it up again and carefully identified it. It really was Yang Erpi's two subordinates.I heard from Four Eyes that Yang Erpi took away all his men, horses and goods when it was foggy. I don't know what kind of conspiracy he was planning, but he never thought that he was caught by me on the shore of Fuxian Lake. .I was hesitating what to do, but I saw the guy who was crushed by jadeite crying and said: "Master Hu, please do me a favor and let us live! We escaped secretly, if we are caught by the shopkeeper ..." I was puzzled and said, "Run? Why are you running? Where is Yang Erpi?"

The guy in the hat sneered: "Hmph, we don't plan to pretend anymore when things get to this point. To tell you the truth, Yang Erpi has offended someone who shouldn't be offended this time, and he has come to an end. Our brothers don't want to follow him He went to the island to die, so, so he ran away secretly. At this moment, he is under the lake embankment." "Let me ask you, why did he come to Fuxian Lake? Do you know? What are those boxes?" "I, I said, you let me go?" "There's so much nonsense. My dog ​​is hungry. If you hesitate again, I can't stop him."

"I said, I said." The boy who was trampled was almost frightened to death when he saw the fangs in Jadeite's mouth.He said with a pale face, "Of the ten boxes, more than half are from our trough, and they contain ship materials. Before the shopkeeper came, he chose a fast ship, and we only had three boxes to deliver. Send them to the big isolated island on Fuxian Lake. But I heard from the people in the caravan that the island is haunted. Mr. Hu, you and I remember what happened before, this, this is terrible. Please, let us both go A way out. Boss Yang’s boat has been assembled, and when he wakes up, he will take us to death!”

I was confused by what I heard, and I only knew that Yang Erpi had already prepared, even the boats for landing on the island. No wonder he entrusted Uncle Atie with the responsibility of transporting the goods.Presumably, only horse breeders who have walked the ancient tea-horse road would dare to take over such a dangerous job.I asked them if they had ever met Uncle Atie and the others.The two shook their heads, saying that they arrived this morning, after a day's work, the clipper ship was finished, and they escaped while Yang Erpi was taking a nap. "Since accepting this order, the shopkeeper has become more and more strange. He, he is now covered with pus, and coughs up and spits out small blue fish. It's terrible, let us go, if he catches him... "

That guy was talking, his face suddenly turned blue, he looked behind me and stopped talking.I looked back and saw a skeleton-like figure approaching us quietly in the night. "Boss Yang?" I can't believe that the person in front of me who is so skinny is Yang Erpi, the fat head and big ears of the boss of the trough gang a few days ago. The appearance of Yang Erpi was beyond my expectation. He left the main force with his troops and drove to Fuxian Lake by himself.Uncle Ah Tie said he would chase, but right now only Yang Erpi and his few surviving buddies are left on the lakeshore. Most of the wooden boxes have been unpacked, and wood and iron tools are scattered everywhere on the ground.Compared with before, Yang Erpi seemed to be a different person, his skin and bones seemed to be stripped off, leaving only a dry bone frame.His complexion was extremely bad, and there was a bruise in his face.The moment I saw me, I trembled like I had seen a ghost, and I didn't have the slightest prestige of a gangster.

Those little brothers of his were all disheveled. If they hadn't spent a period of time together in the caravan, I would never have believed that this group of people were the arrogant and domineering fellows of the caravan back then. I comforted Fei Cui and walked up to Yang Erpi.He glanced at me indifferently, and said with a sneer, "It was me who ran into you today. I did it myself. Why did the iron pot head ask you to come here? Hehehe, that's fine, that's fine." I looked at the carpentry materials all over the floor and asked him what he was planning to do.Yang Erpi pushed me, and said angrily: "Delivery, send these boxes of goods to the island. Since the matter has come to this point, it's no big deal to hide it like this. You said earlier Didn’t you see me getting sick? Someone put a Gu on me. I also mentioned in the letter that if I can’t deliver these black wooden boxes to the designated place on time, I, my old life, will die. Even if I confess. There are still four hours before dawn, and when the deadline is up, I will swell up and die miserably. I can't imagine that the last thing I will see in this world will be you, a brat. "

Fei Cui seemed to dislike Yang Erpi very much, squatting beside me all the time, grinning at him.I asked Yang Erpi who he had offended and how he could be so murdered.He shook his head: "It's too late to say anything now. I tried my best to come up with such a way, and finally set up the boat and wanted to send the goods to the island. But look, it's just these trash , When the boat sailed to the big isolated island, I would have already been rotten. Hey, what a crime! First I lost my hands on the mountain, but when I got to the lake, no one could drive the boat. The sky will kill me, the sky will kill me .” As he said that, he coughed violently, and green sticky things kept spitting out from his mouth.Seeing this, the two guys who were standing by his side didn't dare to take a step forward anymore.One of them took off his hat and twitched, "Shopkeeper, look, it's almost dawn, and the boat can go into the water. Me, are we..." "Want to leave? Cough cough cough cough cough cough!" I heard that Yang Erpi was coughing so much that his lungs were about to burst out, so I hurriedly stepped forward to support him and give him relief.Yang Erpi didn't know whether it was anger or sadness, and he dragged his voice and shouted: "Get out, you all get out. Just treat me as if I don't have brothers like you. You're a wimp waiting to die. At critical moments, none of them can be relied upon." The other guy almost burst into tears after being yelled at by him: "Shopkeeper, don't worry, shopkeeper, we also have wives and children, so many people died along the way, we, we really... " "What are you explaining to him?" the guy with his hat off simply put on a hard face.He dropped the hammer in his hand and said to Yang Erpi, "Our group of brothers followed you through life and death. You eat the meat and you drink the wine. What do we have? The little money we get is almost enough to support our wives and children." Get up. You didn’t even bat an eye when you lost so many people on this trip, and now you want us to go to some haunted island to die for you. Pooh, now that the boat is loaded for you, we will do our best , from now on, you go your way, I cross my bridge, and the two are settled!" Yang Erpi never expected that the person brought out by himself would be so heartless. He wanted to scold and beat him, but his body couldn't hold it any longer. If he wasn't supported by me, he would almost collapse.Seeing his increasingly ugly face, those two men didn't dare to wait, they threw their luggage over their shoulders, turned around and ran away.I can't even stop it.Yang Erpi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He hung on my body and coughed for a while before calming down.I am the person who hates the bitterness of other people's faces, and made a decision right away.I first helped Yang Erpi to sit aside and asked, "Is there any paper and pen?" He thought he was confused, and asked me why I wanted a pen and paper, and I said you have so much nonsense, so take it out if you have it, to save your life.He took out two pieces of letter paper from his pocket and said, "Take it, these are the last two. I planned to save them for writing my last words to my family." I said that I haven't reached the end of the mountain, and I don't have to worry about what will happen after my death.Yang Erpi didn't believe it. He said that he had already reached this stage, and there was nothing else he could do.As he spoke, he handed the ink pen in his pocket to my hand.I said that there is no unparalleled road, as long as you work hard for the good, there may be a turning point, isn't it just a few boxes of goods?Let's get it on the island. "You want to help me?" I handed the note to Jade, and asked her to rush back to Diaojiaolou. "I'm not helping you in vain. I'm sure you know something about Yiyuanzhai. It's true that bamboo poles are behind it, but we suspect that someone else is behind the scenes. This trip to Fuxian Lake is also to find insiders. Inquire about some news. I always feel that the people who plot against you are the same group as the ones who are looking for me. " Jade picked up the note in her mouth and ran towards the convex ridge, while Yang Erpi sat on the shore, staring at his canoe in a daze. "I understand what you mean. But, I haven't even seen the other party's face. Before the incident, I was in the store and received a letter. The other party said that there was a batch of very important goods. I have been in this industry for many years, and I have never seen such a tough request. In addition to the delivery note, there is also a huge check in the envelope, signed by a foreign I asked someone to check and found that it was a foreign trust organization, and the checks could be cashed at any time. Don’t you tell me that this is a strange thing through the ages? I haven’t promised him to take the order yet, but the money came first At that time, I was still thinking, why is the other party not afraid that I swallowed the goods and money, and told him to lose the money? How could I think that three days ago, I suddenly developed a rash on my body, which was red and itchy, and water came out when I scratched it, green water. I have seen it in public hospitals and private pharmacies, but none of the doctors can cure it. Later, a fortune teller who walked the street said that it might be caused by the voodoo in Xiangxi or Yunnan. After thinking about it, the only suspicious thing is this batch goods." After talking about his own experience, Yang Erpi sighed a long time, "I'll tell you the truth, this time I came out, I lost soldiers and generals all the way, the dead were scattered, and I carried it home. I think the reason why the other party forced the goods For me, it’s nothing more than the mobility of our trough gang on the water. But why doesn’t he think about how much work it will take for me to get the boat over by land.” "Since it is forced to buy and sell, have you ever opened the box to inspect the goods and try the weight?" "This is absolutely unacceptable, each industry has its own rules. Just like the caravan delivery always has the goods, we also know that we can't ask too much. One more thing is worse than one less thing. If you know more, you can add more. One share of danger, this principle will work in any world." I nodded, no wonder he was so excited when he dropped the cargo box in Leigong Ridge. It turned out that he was afraid of breaking the rules of the industry and adding unnecessary danger to himself.I remembered that severed hand again, so I asked him: "I remember when I was in Leigong Ridge, the box was broken, and you didn't take the opportunity to see what was inside?" Yang Erpi hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head: "I was frightened when I took the opportunity, how could I remember so much?" He didn't lie very well, but I didn't have time to argue with him.I said to him: "I have two friends, come over later. Since we are all going to the big isolated island, we are on the same boat. If Boss Yang trusts us, he might as well go together. There is a follow-up." When he heard that I wanted to accompany him to the island, he was so excited that he almost hugged me to death.Let me tell you, don't get too excited. Although we have the same goal, the engines are completely different.Essentially, you are a capitalist and I am a communist fighter.Let's go back to the bridge and go back to the road, and some issues of principle cannot be messed up.Yang Erpi laughed: "You boy, you are not old, but you have a lot of things. You can open it if you have any conditions. If you can entrust you with great blessings and get through this test, I will personally go to Jinling to give a gift to Yiyuanzhai next year. A plaque of pure gold." In fact, I don't have any specific conditions to ask him, but Yang Erpi is an old man, and although the tiger is in peace now, there is no guarantee that he will not change his mind temporarily and embarrass us.When I get into the water, it all depends on what the boss of the boat says. None of us have ever piloted a boat. If we don’t give him some power now and let him know that I’m not a weakling, we’ll have no right to speak when we’re on the water. . I have three chapters with Yang Erpi. On the ship, he is the boss, and all actions are under his command.But after landing on the island, the command has to be handed over, and I have the final say on everything.Yang Erpi wished that someone could walk with him, and now that he was weak, it was simply a fantasy to cross the dangerous Fuxian Lake alone and then go to the island.I was about to chat with him about those goods again, but I heard someone calling my name from afar.Listen carefully, it is Fatty's voice. "I'm fucking, Hu, I'm so fucking proud of you. It took a while to make a boat. Four Eyes and I took everything we could, and even Lao Bai was caught Here we are. Now, tell me where you got this boat?" The fat man walked up to the canoe, stretched out his hand to caress the hull, and said in an expert tone, "It's a good boat, a good boat, you can tell when you touch it, it's a good boat that is making rapid progress. This old man, is he a boatman? " Yang Erpi knew that I had a dead brother named Wang Kaixuan, so he never got angry with Fatty.He only said that he had something to go to the island, and he happened to be with us.Bai Yanweng was placed on Jade's back, and he was still unconscious at the moment.Qin Siyan said that the old man probably remembered the Mad Dog Village, and he couldn't stand the stimulation so he couldn't wake up.After getting on the boat later, it would be nice to blow more lake breeze.I teamed up with him to lift him off Jade's back. The fat man asked me: "Is it true that I left just like that, without waiting for Shirley Yang and the others to come back?" I said, "Boss Yang has something urgent and needs to go to the island immediately. Didn't I tell you to leave a note in the stilted building?" "We stayed, but we acted without authorization, isn't it good?" "It's already moving, no matter how much you think about it, it's useless. Have you brought all the guys?" "nature." The fat man patted the backpack on his shoulder, "I brought all the firearms I could bring from Yuemiao village, and Baiyanweng's house. Our firepower this time is almost catching up with a combat team. " Under the arrangement of Yang Erpi, we placed Baiyanweng in the cabin, and Feicui followed closely behind the owner, never relaxing for a moment. "I've checked some information. The big isolated island is about two hours away from the shore of the lake. This is a fast boat. If you're lucky and the wind blows, you can get to the island in as little as an hour." "Then where are these three boxes going to be transported on the island?" "Oh, don't worry about this, the other party has drawn a detailed map. He said in the letter that it is clear at a glance after going to the island, and the delivery location is only 20 minutes away from the pier." "Why, that person wants to pick up the goods on the island himself?" "I don't know about that. The letter only said that the goods should be delivered to the designated place within the specified time. Otherwise, it will be..." Yang Erpi swallowed the words again, presumably because he was afraid that the crow would spit out unlucky words, and he would end up in trouble for himself. Four Eyes couldn't trust Yang Erpi all the time, so he pulled me aside and asked, "Did you forget what happened in the caravan? This mink guy is treacherous and slippery. Uncle Tie was cheated by him so that he lost money to his wife." We are afraid that it will be a disaster rather than a blessing if we rashly go with him." "I'll explain this matter to you later. Yang Erpi is indeed not from a decent family, but this time his wealth and life are at stake. If he wants to play tricks, he needs to weigh his own head. What's more, we Now we really need this boat to land on the island, Bai Yanweng has been in a daze, and has been in a coma. Shirley Yang doesn't know when he will come back. Let's go to the island to explore, it will only take a day or two at most. We have already With sufficient supplies and weapons for self-defense, he will not be able to cause any trouble." Seeing that Fatty and I were determined to go to the island with Yang Erpi, Sishen didn't stop us anymore.He just threatened to make me look good if something happened.I agreed wholeheartedly, thinking that there would be ghosts on an uninhabited deserted island.At this time, there were still three hours and forty minutes left before the agreed delivery time.A group of us boarded the clipper under the command of Yang Erpi, ready to set sail for the final destination, Fuxian Lake Island, a mysterious island abandoned by humans for nearly half a century.
