Chapter 9 Chapter nine.dahuze

At the desolate Wu's Ferry, the scuffle in the dry forest at night has passed.When the sun shone into the dense forest, the tragic scenes still remained everywhere, hurting the eyes of Guan Baye and the group of brutes from the Liuhe Gang. After a night of hard fighting, the bandits left behind 28 blood-stained corpses; The wretched, barkless tree trunk just died like that. The deceased must have screamed miserably before dying, so after death, he still opened his mouth and stared, like a terrifying zombie ghost hugging a tree in ancient legends; Honestly lying on a piece of unmelted residual snow, holding his head in both hands, there are no obvious scars on the whole body, like a thirsty traveler after a long journey, bending over to suck the snow water on the ground , but blood dripped from his ears, eyes and nostrils, staining the snow red; Xiang Laosan knew that he was killed by Lei Yipao with a sap.

In one place, three dead bodies were lying together, one was shot in the chest, and threw his long gun aside; a bandit with a short gun was shot at the side by his accomplice, and the handle was still in the guy's hand .And that guy was dead too, his eyes protruded like goldfish, his face turned purple, and between his upper and lower lips, there was a bloody tongue that had been bitten through by his teeth.Needless to say, he was strangled to death from behind, and that's why his tongue stuck out like that. Some had half of their heads knocked off by gunfire, and blood rained on the tree trunks, and some dragged their brains all over the floor. Dyed on the yellow leaves, and the minced meat is flying on the withered grass, it will make people full.

And the ones who were alive, Judge Zhu's subordinates, finally temporarily retreated from the withered forest near Wu's tile house, and they didn't really retreat.Leaning on a blood tree, Guan Baye, with a sad and contemplative eyebrow, can be counted. He can be counted as a greedy cat who puts the fish in his mouth this time. If there is a chance, maybe after one or two hours, they will sound the horn again, and the wind will kill them. What is this?This kind of mixed killing that I am tired of from the root!But there are always people who force people to do this, and then, the dead body of the unknown dead is lying in front of them, and the sun shines on a cold reality without dreaming, making those eyes full of blood dripping with tears , the hero is not here, it seems that if the villain Si Judge is not eliminated, there will be a worse situation than this!

Hey, Ba Ye, all the bandits are beaten back by your heart-warming fist!In the open field outside the forest, the voice of Shorty Shi Er's poor roar came from a distance, it sounded like he was smiling: Come out quickly, guys, come out to bask in the sun. In the empty field in front of Wu’s house, there were also two dead bodies and several long blood marks, which must have been left by the bandits when they were shot and ran wildly; Shorty Shi Er and his face are full of sprinkled salt. At first glance, he looked like a snowman. Big Bear stayed up all night, looking a little lazy, smoking leaf cigarettes with a lighter; Shi Er Shorty But full of energy, sitting on the top of the salt bag, half lying down, holding one leg with both hands, really basking in the sun there.

Shorty, you are happy, Lei Yipao said. I picked up a life, put it in the palm of my hand, and took a look, hehe, it turned out that it was my fucking life.After discussing such a big deal, why not come here? ! Shorty Shi Er did not exaggerate. The salt bags and salt baskets stacked on the salt truck were rotten by bullets and covered with honeycomb-like holes. The salt truck was surrounded by frost-like salt crumbs everywhere. And the bright grains make one imagine how dense the rain of bullets from the night is. If it were not for these salt bags to block, Shi Er and the big bear would have been cold by now.

Hey, Ba Ye's white horse?Only then did Xiang Lao San think of something to say. White horse?The big dog said in a muffled voice: "Maybe I'll ask Judge Zhu Si to take a ride."Don't roll your eyes, it broke the rein and ran away, and I didn't pull it, so we can't blame us for anything. It's okay to run away, Guan Baye sighed and said: If it doesn't break the rein, it will die from stray bullets!I'm not worried about the horses, we're not even out of danger. I said, Ba Ye, since it’s already dawn, those bandits hugged your heart and squatted there panting for breath. We have to find a way to cross the river.Shorty Shi Er said: Nesting in this dead land and shooting out the bullets is not a solution!

Guan Baye smiled faintly and said: "If you want to cross the river, this is not the time yet. If you think that the four judges have already retreated, it will be messed up. Before you show up, there will be guns on both sides covering you. The river has not been crossed." , reflexive people, that is not the solution. How do you plan to do it?The big bear was smoking a cigarette, and said gloomily: "I also feel that I can't retreat. If I retreat, I will fall into the trick of the four judges."We are full of guns and guns, and we can try head-to-head. Don't worry, everyone, Guan Baye said: I have already sent Wang Dagui to cross the river with a wooden section to contact the militia.The four judges did not expect this move.According to my point of view, we retreat into the tiled house of Wu's house and stick to it. We will sleep in it for three or two days at most, and the militiamen will come to attack him.

become!Said to the third child: We will do as you wish! A group of people unloaded the salt wagon formation, took advantage of the time when Judge Zhu Si retreated temporarily, and retreated into this haunted house that has been rumored for a long time. This mansion is so desolate and dilapidated. The long walls with dense pine trees are gray and cold; the sun changes color as soon as the sun shines through the glazed tile windows, and some polygonal light balls are pale and full of ghosts; those tall houses are not very It is ancient, but due to the long-term unoccupied relationship, it looks extremely gray and dark. The thick Jin wooden beams are tea-brown, and they feel like they are pressing on the eyelids. On the girders between the beams, there are long cobwebs full of floating dust. There are traces of smoke and fire all over the walls, and occasionally one or two tile backs are blown by the strong wind, exposing the sky like stars.

Third son, Guan Baye looked at the ruined doors and said: Take a few brothers and untie the body of the ferryman, seal the doors with salt bags, and then turn to Lei Yipao and say: Brother Lei, Send some brothers to go to the house to open our eyes. We have to get familiar with this eight-figure-like house before we can make up our minds and see how to stick to it. To be honest, in such a large courtyard as the Wujia tile house, the Liuhe Gang's dozen or so guns alone can't take care of it no matter what. People spoke in the empty room, and the echoes buzzed from the beams everywhere, as if some kind of ghosts and ghosts were hiding in the dark and stealing the human language.

Prepare guns, fire, dry food, and water. Guan Baye took a look at the terrain and sent a message: "Split more people to the house, don't stick to one place. When the bandits pounce, turn and shoot for me, so that he can't figure it out." Let's stay there.In the house in the middle courtyard, three or four rifles were held upright, and some of them rushed into the courtyard, so as to echo the tiles. Several people had already cut the rope, carried the body of the ferryman Sun Erguai into the house, and sealed the front door of the tile-roofed house of Wu's house with heavy salt. No one could see any movement.

Poor Sun Er turned his legs, Shi Er dwarf squatted in front of the corpse, and murmured: A good person in troubled times can't do it, grandma's, she will offend people for ferrying people all the year round, her beard is all white, and she ended up like this ? !As she spoke, she sighed, squeezed her eyes, and burst into tears. A clown-type character who is rolling in misery, usually the biggest pain is just taunting and cursing, but once he rolls down from the sharp misery, he softens himself with a lot of tears.Guan Baye, who was standing on the side, tried his best to restrain himself. The safety of Yanshi, the brother of the Liuhe Gang, was all on his shoulders. He couldn't easily show his true temperament like Shier Shorty, and the fight was like a rainstorm. The thunder in the middle of the sky, once it has sounded, another will follow. Brother Lei, we can't let his body be exposed after his death. He said: we have to find a way to bury him as soon as possible. There is a hexagonal well over there, and the bottom of the well is dry. good. As Guan Baye said, he shook his hands and pulled off the strap of his black cloak, took off the cloak, and squatted down to carefully wrap up Sun Erguai's cold and stiff body.Now, he held up the corpse sideways, walked out of the gloomy house, walked through the courtyard paved with square bricks and stained with brown and black moss, and walked slowly towards the stone hexagonal well. The ferryman, an old man who likes to drink a few glasses of wine and enthusiastically tells stories to passers-by, a kind of unjust death, these are simply too plain to be regarded as a story.Back then, I had passed here when I followed the boss of Shuangqiang Luo.On a rainy evening, a group of people gathered around the ferry drinking his special herbal tea, listening to him tell some vague stories, how many warmth and dreams, how many rounds of retribution spread out, each strip is as bright as Xiangwan's colors colorful autumn clouds. The corpse was very light, but Guan Baye, who was holding the corpse of the innocent old man, walked slowly. He seemed unable to bear the weight of such a death. This was not just a death, but a death of a person. A good person in troubled times can't do it!The sound hit him like a hammer, and for a moment, he didn't know what he was thinking. ! He buried Sun Erguai in the dry well, and rolled a disc-shaped granite from the foot of the long wall to seal the mouth of the well. There is a patch of sun; the brothers are doing their own things, and no one comes to disturb him.He was sitting, his shadow falling on the square brick floor was like a trapped animal, looking extraordinarily lonely. At this moment, the strange sound of horns sounded in the distance again The third child, Guan Baye lay down on the roof tiles in front of him and called out to the third child, "Look for any movement, please say hello to me." There was no movement, and he said to the third child: "In addition to the bandits blowing horns, you must also be able to hear them." I have to take a nap here, Guan Baye said: Take care of the brothers in the room, except for those who have opened their eyes, the rest may as well close their eyes and rest their minds. Even if the bandits attack during the day, there is no way so fast. It is false to say doze off, the sound of horns is so sharp that it pierces people's ears, who can really doze off?But people are made of flesh after all, and they are a little shaky with exhaustion; last night was cold, dark and long, and people went in and out between life and death. Those blood-stained dead trees, bloody human corpses that cannot be thrown away, and the troubled times in so many legends seem to be all dyed with human blood. Shorty Shi Er would rather stay sleepy than close his eyes and rest his mind. Straight people are most afraid of thinking about these things. There are not many lines in their brains, and they can't think of why. It's better to branch off and think about it One side, or something else, a deck of cards is still pinned to the waist, but it's a pity that the big bear is not around, so one person can't gamble, otherwise, it is quite interesting for two people to gamble on tiles.Over there lay Lei Yipao, with a face as big as a big sky (Pai Gow's natural card, commonly known as big sky.), teasing him to gamble, I'm afraid it's just a smear of lime on his mouth. It's still Guan Baye who is calm enough. It seems that he just leaned on the granite stone and fell asleep.The tile pine trees on this roof are so dense, and the main branches of each plant stand upright, shaking out the fat flesh-red leaves, and you are crowded with each other to be six or seven inches high. When you squint your eyes and look over, it looks like a million Thousands of small pagodas are like dense forests.Well, one day, it would be great to be buried in such a forest after death. People are too boring to talk about. Maybe they will be shot in this fire, and then they will have to fall into the dry well, listening to the old man with Sun Er turning his legs It's time to tell a story.Suddenly retracting those wandering thoughts, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance. To make an apt analogy, the area around the withered forest is like a grassy beach on a sandy shore in the water, and the Wujia tile house is like a bird crouching in the fur The tortoise drying its shell on the grass, people looking down from a high place, and the messy dead branches are thick and dense, poking the sky randomly, even Guan Baye and a group of brothers were there to fight thieves last night. Can't figure it out?Can't see anything without blinking. The sun was rising steamily, and it was almost noon in a blink of an eye. Suddenly, the sound of horns became dense, and those horn whistles sounded like they were cooking something, and they rang around Wu's tile house. Looking at the scene, it seemed that Judge Zhu Si was very hungry, and he would not be able to eat this dry man of the Liuhe gang. Satisfied. I fuck your grandma, Shier Shorty spat, took out a piece of dry food and chewed it in his mouth Get rid of Baye Guan, even Lei Yipao, who has always been steady, thought that Judge Zhu Si would attack in the daytime this time.Judgment Zhu Si had seven or eight hundred gangsters spread out in his palm, with many guns and plenty of fire, attacking hard during the day and eating up the Liuhe gang, it seemed like a matter of course.What's more, not long after the ox horns sounded, there was a figure flashing by the edge of the dry forest, so close that the eyebrows and eyes could almost be distinguished; what's more, after the first shot passed the top of the man's head, the gunshots rang out sporadically. As for Guan Baye, who was reclining on the hemp stone, it seemed that he hadn't woken up yet. my son!Shi Er dwarf on the tile surface pointed to a bandit who showed his face in the woods outside the long wall and said: I should fucking shoot. His grandma, it’s so close. Can smash his nose! Don't be so hasty and impatient, like burning your butt, Lei Yipao said over there: It's still early, I haven't seen a horoscope, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat you when I wait? ! On the tiled surface of the front room, Big Bear seemed to be more impatient than Shorty Shi Er. If he hadn't grabbed him from the third child, he would have been ready to shoot. I said, if you can save it, just save a few fires, and whispered to the third child: If we all fight hard, I am afraid that there will only be a pile of bullet casings left after dark. Gun fire is now more expensive than life, so it is worthless . That being said, don't I understand? !The big bear said: We can't shrink our heads and hit him first? ! Let them fight!Said to the third child: If the thieves dare to climb the wall, we will smash their heads with tiles! It's up to you, the big bear smacked his lips and said: You think more thoughtfully than me, shooting guns indiscriminately is really tasteless, let's use the tiles as rolling stones, and let them open their mouths! The sound of gunshots came from the forest at intervals and at intervals. On the top of people's heads, occasional light blue gun smoke could be seen. Some bullets were shot on brick walls and tile ridges, and tile dust and brick powder were everywhere. As soon as they burst out, an insider would know that there are bandits on all sides of the tiled house of Wu's house as soon as they heard the direction of the bullets.Faced with this situation, Lei Yipao was also a little undecided, and was about to greet Guan Baye, who knew that Guan Baye had stood up at some point, with his arms behind his back, walking around the moss-stained square brick courtyard, Pacing slowly with his head down there! I said Ba Ye, and Lei Yipao said on the tile: The bandits look like they are attacking in the daytime. You can hear how loud the gunshots are. Guan Baye was still pacing slowly in circles, as if he wanted to count how many square bricks there were in the yard.The fourth judge is a cunning fox, he said: They fired guns and horns, all to whet people's appetites.Don't worry, even though he suffered a lot in the dark last night, he won't rush when it's not dark. If you can't bear it, then you're in his way! Eighth Master really has him!Shorty Shi Er said in admiration: Don't talk about it, just with his patience, it is enough for people to learn for three years. You are right, Lei Yipao turned his face away, and said slowly: "Last night, I fumbled and beat in the dry forest. The beating was so earth-shattering. Ba Ye didn't shoot at all. If you don't believe Ba Ye, just rely on that gun." The barrel of the gun just knocked out the three old couples, and his hand is more than enough for us to learn from! No matter how calm Guan Baye is, the group of people lying on the tiles still feel that such a silent toil is really unpleasant; When it grows up, on the edge of the empty field just south of Wujiawafang, there are figures with guns flickering from time to time, and in the dead woods, there are more calls from time to time, the sound of your brother and my brother, the sound of digging and burying corpses, and some The chaotic chirping of the horses naturally gave people a feeling of being besieged. What is this?The big bear hissed at Vasong, with a voice full of confusion, isn't this a blind cat playing with a dead mouse?The momentum of the fourth judge can't help but make people feel discouraged; even if his eighth master has six arms and three heads, I'm afraid he can't survive the fourth judge Zhu's sudden attack. I said third child, they are not simmering the soup slowly, intending to simmer us until we are rotten before eating? ! Hey, he sighed to the third child and said: A thief with a heart like the fourth judge has a lot of tricks, who knows what tricks he will play next?Maybe he will send someone to talk about it first, for example: don't shoot after handing in the gun! Did I throw him a fucking gun? !The big bear gritted his teeth and scolded: I'm throwing his grandma a fart!I'm sure they didn't attack hard because they were afraid, if they rushed into the courtyard in broad daylight, they would have to count how many guns are still in Ba Ye's pocket first?A fire for a life, yes! Of course, I said to the third child: In Wanjialou, they have already had the cup of Ba Ye, and they know how it feels after Ba Ye stretches out his gun! At noon, the floating clouds receded to the foot of the sky, and the clear blue sky above was a little illusory, like an unfathomable magic well; The high-pitched whistling sound seemed to be heartbroken and weeping for something. Amidst the scattered gunshots and the siege of figures, time flows chaotically and slowly, every minute and every inch is longer than a year!But anyone who has experienced fierce fighting will understand that the opponent shaking an unbreakable stuffy gourd is the most unbearable.After noon, the bandits still showed no sign of pounce.The gangsters of the Liuhe gang guarding the roof of the Wu family's tile house were really hungry and thirsty, so they had to dig out some dry food to stuff the gaps between their teeth, and hang out some saliva to moisten their lips until the sun was shining, and the stones The second dwarf pulled his hair a few times, the big bear sighed eight times, but there was no other movement from Judge Zhu's side. I said, Ba Ye.Are you still counting bricks?Make up your mind sooner!Shorty Shi Er got angry, he tore open the throat pipe, and complained poorly: If we wait any longer, we will be dragged away by the fourth judge holding the nose hook! Guan Baye raised his head, looked at the sky and the time under the shadow of his thick eyebrows, he didn't say anything, he still walked around the square brick yard step by step, walking slowly there, as if he didn't hear anything in his ears. Shorty Shi'er's yelling did not hear scattered gunshots, high-pitched bullet whistles, and the chattering of brothers on the tile surface. The setting sun reflected his figure, and his steps were so heavy, as if he could crush the square bricks under his feet with every step; many distant worries surged in the bottom of his heart. What's the matter?After Wang Dagui swam across, did he contact the militia?These have to be put aside in front of the eyes, how to deal with the four judges in front of the eyes?How to protect this dry brother of the Liuhe Gang? In terms of gunfire, the gunfire from the salt basket is still sufficient. In terms of guns, these dozen or so guns can't be compared with Judge Zhu Si!If Judgment Zhu Si played tricks and made the guns swoop in turns, this would be the most troublesome thing for me; eight hundred bandits forcibly carried a dozen guns from the Liuhe Gang, and they bumped into each other in broad daylight. After all the calculations, one person has to beat the bandits at least thirty or forty times, and the steel and iron bones should be boiled!If Old Man Peng's militia can't arrive in time, no matter how powerful the brothers of the Liuhe Gang are, it will be more difficult to win this fire! The fourth judge has clearly grasped the hard cards, but he refuses to make a bright point. Maybe he is too smart. He wants to save bullets and manpower, and entangle the Liuhe gang until they are exhausted. But it was wrong!If he doesn't do anything tonight, the militia will stick to his back, dragging it down will only benefit the Liuhe gang, it's as clear as opening a palm to see the lines.Alone with no one to send, I don't care about life and death, but when the dam is in urgent need of help, it is really unwilling to be bedded in this lonely place.Besides, seeing this group of brothers in the gang, lying here fighting for life and death, and behind them, by the gates of the old houses with low earthen walls, how many old mothers, sick wives are still waiting there? !He can't let them fall at the hands of the four judges no matter what Ba Ye, don’t worry about us, Lei Yipao saw Guan Ba ​​Ye’s thoughts, and said loudly: We will count where we go, and no one’s life will be tied by a rope; If we attack Yanshi at this moment, our dozen or so hairy men can hang him, Judge Zhu Si, so that he can't join forces with the defenders to attack, and his death is enough! Isn't it?Shorty Shi Er said again: That's what my mother meant; I can figure out the old background of the defense army. , put a few rice buckets! Maybe that mouth was too busy, Shi Er dwarf felt his teeth itch, and when he spoke, it flowed down like a big river, and as he talked, somehow it caught Yadantou's head again. I know exactly how many hairs there are on Yadantou's body, he said: That Shuzi is full of sour smell!Earlier, I worked as a pickpocket in the market north of our hometown, and the cannibal caught him on the spot. He stripped off his upper and lower clothes, twisted his arms backwards, and hung him on the pillars of the crossroads. Take a whip. It's better than the salty duck floating water you leaked in Wanjialou, the big bear on the front room interrupted out of thin air and said: Don't ruin my son there! fuck you!I said, later he quit pickpocketing and became a thief. The first time he stole someone else's cow, he lost his temper. The family had no man at home, only his sister-in-law and his sister-in-law. Go, the cannibal made a click, made the buffalo bracelet lock his neck, and held him like that for one night. The next day, my sister-in-law led him to crawl all over the village, and my sister-in-law followed him to whip his buttocks, climbed two steps, received a whip, and beat him. He kowtowed his head all the way, begging, "Auntie, grandma, please spare me this time, and I won't dare to do it again next time." The second dwarf Shi Er ignored the sneering gun and slapped it over, while talking, while imitating the virtue of being beaten with a duck's head on the tile surface.Just as he was sticking his hips up and stretching his head, a bullet blasted the tiger-headed tiles at one end of the roof, frightening him to bury his head into the tile ditch. The whole tile was smashed into two pieces. The wild laughter was still roaring, on this blood-stained ground, it was the first time that the men of the Liuhe Gang were so happy.With Guan Baye as serious and resolute, and Shier Shorty as witty, although they are in danger, they seem to have swallowed a pack of Wanning Dan. Come to think of it, like Yadantou, who has a rice bucket and a cattail bag, has become the head of the regiment. With his group of people, he also wants to take down the Yanshi?What a fucking bad dream!Shorty Shi Er said: If he wants to take the salt market, he has to hire someone to help him. If he wants to hire, of course it is to invite bandits. Among the bandits in the Northland, judge Zhu Si is the most powerful group. We can hold four people here. The judge is like holding back the defenders, and compared to the defenders attacking Yanshi, as long as there are no four judges involved in the flanking attack, it is naturally easy to deal with; in this way, even if we sell our lives, there is nothing to worry about up! Guan Baye nodded, still with his hands behind his back, pacing in the big square brick yard; the more this group of brothers thought through and saw openly, the more he felt heavy in his heart, and the less he felt that he could not drag them down.The sky is getting closer to dusk, of course, it is best to be in this fire, face to face with the fourth Judge Zhu, and be able to eradicate him in one fell swoop, I am afraid that this group of bandits will not disperse, only that Judge Zhu will not Just show up. You're just pacing there, Ba Ye.Lei Yipao said: People are iron, food is steel, you can't fight this fire hungry, if after dark, the four judges lead people to rush up, you won't even have a chance to eat dry food! We need to save some dry food, Guan Baye said: What if we stay here for three days and the four judges still trap us?Our opponent is like that, it's not that cheap, let's fight hard to decide the winner!Judging by the situation, he is deliberately hanging on, and he will attack us in one go only after we are exhausted, leaving you without the strength to fight back.Therefore, we always have to prepare as much as possible, not to be fooled by him! Maybe it's called Guan Baye, as expected. At dusk, the four judges and the gang of bandits still did not make much movement. The gunshots, even if they were silent, continued sporadically and sporadically. The bullets pierced and sank into the vast evening sky. Playing a long whistle across people's heads; say it sounds, but it rubs against people in a leisurely manner, making you let your heart down and then lift it up, lift it up and then let it fall; no matter what , sleep always makes you unable to sleep. Gradually, not only Guan Baye, but everyone in the Liuhe gang saw through the thoughts of the fourth judge. No one thought about throwing guns and throwing fire, but they took turns watching and sleeping with their clothes on .Waiting quietly like this, waiting for the last moment. When the big bear was lying on the tile surface and snoring like a bellows, Shorty Shi Er woke up and looked at the dry forest from under the dark night sky. The dead branches are really like some vicious white charms, chattering and laughing.Night, cold and brittle, as if one can't help but take a breath and it will break. The unlucky frost has drilled into the cracks of human bones again The fourth judge is a bastard, don't tell us to throw guns to count him as smart, Shi Er dwarf is looking for words to describe again: We can become wind chickens hanging on the cornice!His grandma's. Hey, if this goes on like this, we'll polish him up! The wind blows Lei Yipao's sleepy sigh away, and the floating clouds on the zenith drift past, revealing some sparse bright stars.Shorty Shi Er said that he also felt a little unlucky foreboding tonight, just like losing money in a casino when his hands are not going well, he has some unpleasant feelings all over his body.Humans are inherently a bit of a bitch!Too busy to be busy, walking on the road in the wind and snow, the salt bag is so heavy, the upper body is hot and sweaty, and the soles of the feet are cold and numb. I drive it seventy or eighty miles a day, and I don’t feel tired there.As soon as he rested, all the bones and tendons of his body were loose, and he was loose, and his eyelids weighed a fucking two hundred catties, and he couldn't lift them! How many sleepy bugs are there?Itchy crawling on human eyelids? !Whenever I feel sleepy, I think of the ancient hypnotic poem unexpectedly. When I sleep on the shaker with my butt naked, the stars shine on my forehead every night, and my father is holding a short cigarette stick, leisurely. Spraying acrid smoke, he sang nonchalantly and intermittently: As soon as the moon sprouts out The tree is tall, our family baby I want to sleep! Ouch, Hey hey! The sleepy bug climbed up again tip of brow, Ouch! ouch In a blink of an eye, he grew into a farmer. The father who sang sleep songs was buried in the grave behind the house, but this ballad was not buried. I also held such a short cigarette stick in my mouth, and sang faintly through the Ningning night , The stars shine in the baby's eyes that want to open and close.Sleeping songs are still hidden in the passing wind, but tonight, tonight, it is really not suitable for dreaming. When I feel sleepy for a while, I really want to tear my eyelids, pinch a handful of sleepy bugs and put them in my mouth to chew, but it doesn't work!Thinking in my heart, I can't sleep, I can't sleep, my unsatisfactory eyelids are about to close upwards. Just as the eyelids closed, the gunfire suddenly intensified.Shorty Shi Er suddenly became energetic, took out the box gun in the black, and pulled the big machine head (the trigger made in Germany, commonly known as the big machine head.), Waiting for someone who climbs the wall to fight!Unexpectedly, Kong waited for a long time, only to hear bricks and tiles exploding amidst the roar of shells, and to hear many killing cries all around, but he couldn't find half a person climbing the wall! The moon buds came out. This night was like fetching water with a bucket, and there was no end to the ups and downs. It was extremely difficult for the exhausted group of people in the Liuhe Gang!It was so hard to get to the east, and everyone's head was so heavy that they couldn't lift it, and they were limply crooked on their necks, like pickles that couldn't stand up! The morning light was wrapped in a light mist and reflected in the middle of the deserted large courtyard. The water-milled square bricks in the courtyard were covered with a layer of frost, as if someone had spilled white powder on the ground. On the white frost, countless footprints of Guan Baye were superimposed. , among all the people, only Guan Baye is tireless, no one can predict how much inexhaustible energy is hidden in his stalwart body? ! Guan Baye was still the same as last night, with his hands behind his sleeves and two guns stuck in his waist, he walked there with slow square steps, as if he had recorded all the night's time in the footprints he left. Look at the situation, the fourth judge must be trying to catch him alive, Ba Ye.Shorty Shi Er yawned strangely and stretched himself. If you lack energy, take advantage of the daytime and just take a nap to refresh your mind.Guan Baye said: "The four judges are going to test how much patience we have!" The sound of horns is still far and near, intermittently ringing, the bandits entrenched in the dry forest are still hanging people with cold guns, and the Liuhe gang can't relax no matter what. The loneliness born of tension and anxiety is really the most unbearable, this time Shorty Shier has tasted its true taste!With staring eyes, he lay between the corrugations and looked out. He was so bored that he had nothing to do, so he had to count the tiles there, counting how many tiles there were in a corrugation?Counting one piece, two pieces, ten pieces, and a hundred pieces, he almost counted all the tiles on the half of the roof in front of him. I fuck his grandma!He cursed like that. Another day, slowly passing by When night comes. A pile of burning bonfires lit up in a clearing among the withered woods. The red tongues of the flames were twisted by the night wind, trembling, bright and long.The light of the fire was very red, staining some crooked faces stained with blood, and the light of the fire was also laughing loudly. Judge Zhu Si was wearing a three-sheepskin gown without buttons, only tied around the waist with a soft ribbon, and the inverted neckline exposed all the soft white wool.He was sitting on a fallen log by the campfire, swinging the sheepskin wine bag over his shoulder, squinting his eyes at the fire, and drinking the wine with the mouth of the bag raised on his neck. He brought the white horse that passed Master Guan Ba, and he ordered: Guan Ba ​​Ming should stay on this land, even if he is a star, he should return to his place!A broken horse is like a broken leg, and now he is trapped in a brick-built house, he can't get away from the blind father's hand even if he touches the screws in the crock pot! A piece of jade on a white horse was brought over. The horse seemed to be quite spiritual. It was not used to wildfires and unfamiliar crowds. Its two protruding hind legs were slightly bent, its front hooves were curled up, and it struggled backwards, sending out a string. Long and short hisses. Judge Zhu Si knows horses, and he also recognizes the steed of this steed; a piece of jade on a white horse is a treasure of Wanjialou, and he has been wanting to get it for more than a day; he has long heard the legend about a piece of jade on a white horse. Mr. Wan asked someone to bring it back outside the mouth, saying that it had participated in the competition at the autumn fair outside the mouth, and that it galloped with four hooves close to its belly, and looked like a snowball rolling rapidly from a distance.Last night in the withered forest, I practiced the way of Guanba, and cost more than 20 lives in vain. Who would have thought that this horse would be left in vain?With this horse, a few more lives are worth it!No matter how ruthless Guan Ba ​​is, now he can't do it alone. If he loses the horse, he will lose half of it first, and the other half should be Guan Ba's head, which will be brought to him sooner or later. Thinking of his powerful leader Wu Yanwang, Qian Jiu, and Wanjialou who put it in his mouth and then spit it out, Judge Zhu Si's teeth even started to itch.This time, if the men under his command can catch Guan Ba ​​alive, and he thinks of a way to deal with him, he has to find a deserted tomb, bury a rope bed without a net, and gouge Guan Ba ​​alive. Lose!If you can't capture Guan Ba ​​alive, you have to recognize his body, cut off his head, gather friends from the underworld, and let them open their eyes. Only I, Judge Zhu Si, can hold Guan Ba's head!If Guan Baye doesn't get rid of it, the money from Wanjialou won't go into his purse, and he won't be able to form a bond with the defense army to attack Yanshi. Seeing that a piece of fat can't be eaten anymore!Isn't it? Two strong men held together the reins of a piece of jade on the white horse, like two dead ants carrying a fly. Suddenly, the white horse screamed loudly, curled up its hooves, and a guy was thrown away and flew to the ground. The other is still tangled in the reins, like a kite that won't fly. drink!What a tough beast!The gangsters chirped. Amid the commotion, another five or six people rushed up to grab the reins of the white horse, and two of them leaned hard on the ground, barely restraining the white horse. Someone went to invite Fourth Master Xu and Sixth Master Mao to come, and Judge Zhu Fourth said again: This is the time to catch a turtle in the urn! Even though he was drinking, Judgment Zhu Si's scheming wasn't messed up a bit. He knew that his group was made of three strands of hemp thread, and his eyes fell on Guan Ba. Xu Si and Qian Jiu's two Stockholders only have the word money in their eyes. At present, the three groups of people are surrounded by the tile-roofed houses of the Wu family. They are not as fat as Wanjialou and Yanshi, and there are not so many gold and silver treasures to make people eye-catching; On the southeast and southeast sides of Wu’s tile-roofed house, Xu Si’s people are on the north, and Qian Jiu’s people are on the west. "Although Guan Ba ​​was trapped, if he wanted to catch him, he had to consult with Xu Si and Mao Liu. Fourth Master and Sixth Master are here, boss.Someone interrupted his meditation, ran over and bowed to report. Someone over there moved to get out of the way. Xu Si, who was wearing a sapphire blue satin jacket and trousers with a pocket watch chain on his pocket, walked in front. Sixth Mao followed staggeringly. Sit here, both of you.Judge Zhu Si patted Mu Duan'er and said. Hey, good horse!徐四一看見白馬，就情不自禁的讚歎起來：真真是匹好馬呀！他兩眼骨溜溜的亂掃著，使兩隻手指輕捻著他下巴上一撮毛，他那張黃裏透亮的蟹殼臉，一笑起來就顯得更闊了。 有人把枯柴塊兒添進火堆裏去，邊焰上迸起魯魯的火星，升進頭頂上的黑裏去。那匹馬雖被五六個漢子拼力撮住，仍在暴躁不安的刨動著蹄子。 我倒是有意把這匹馬送給誰，四判官說：可是，夥計噯，這匹馬的主子，是關八那個魔星！ 那就是說，誰騎牠誰倒楣！毛六坐下來吐了口吐沫：關八沒死之前，誰騎牠也騎不安穩。說真話，頭兒，你就是把牠送給我，我也不敢要！ 嘿嘿嘿，四判官擠著眼，爆出一串乾笑來：你算是驚弓之鳥，叫關八嚇破膽的了。其實關八並非是三頭六臂，祗不過槍法有些準頭；如今他被困在鄔家瓦房，一盞油估量著也快熬光了，單剩兩根燈草芯兒啦！咱們祗消商量妥當，合力一撲，就會吹熄他那盞燈，六合幫那伙毛人，生死捏在咱們手掌心，還有什麼好怕的？ ! 頭兒說的不錯，徐四說：咱們困也困了他們一日夜了，就這麼泡下去也不是一回事兒；今夜晚，咱們就得動手把這肉瘤給拿了！我業已著人綁長梯，結繩梯了。 good.四判官說：咱們為求公平，頂好這麼著！誰捉住關八，這匹馬就是誰的！當著這夥弟兄的面，話就是這麼說了！ 隨著朱四判官闊闊的笑聲，徐四和毛六也都那樣的大笑起來，笑色雖然一樣，心思卻各有不同。 旱匪頭兒徐四的本錢雖硬，但他不像朱四判官那樣大懷野心，他的手下，在北地各處荒道上打劫些流財（流動的財物。）業已夠了，沒跟朱四判官合股前，不至於跟關八爺這樣的人物結仇，也不至於面臨著一串打不完的硬火！地頭蛇空長三千年，也成不了龍，上不了天！最初聽信朱四判官的甜言蜜語，想在萬家樓分它一票，誰知反貼了老本，這一路下來，弟兄伙裏業已怨氣沖天，喊著要拉槍散夥了！這回圍關八，雖得不著錢財，至少還有匹好馬可牽，早點完事，牽匹馬走路，總比兩手空空好看些。 至於抗風來的毛六，聽說個關字就心驚膽顫，那還有跟關八爺對火的意思。毛六心裏背著一本賬，沒事掏出來算算，連自己也覺得該遭報應。被修理過的人犯的血臉，被姦淫拐帶過的女人，被自己謀殺掉的把兄卞三，常在夢裏現形，笆斗大的一張臉朝人胸口猛撞也夢過紅臉的關八爺，兩眼棱棱的，彷彿能望穿人的五臟六腑，跑全來不及，還談得上其他？ 關八不是神人，徐四在那邊說話了：他想拿十幾支槍守住鄔家瓦房，他算是做夢！ 祗要不怕浪費槍火就行！四判官說：關八那腦袋不是鐵澆的，幾百條槍一齊吐火猛蓋他，我看他還有什麼法門兒？ 毛六沒說話，靠在火堆邊坐著，胸前倒烤得暖暖的，脊梁背上卻冷得厲害，其實也不是冷，是怕，單就愛姑被賣那回事，傳到關八爺耳朵裏，自己就吃不了兜著走了！要抗風，別處避不了關八，祗好投奔四判官，原以為能躲過關八不碰面的，瞧光景是走不脫了；假若四判官跟徐四倆個，今夜能把六合幫吞掉，那算是天大的喜氣，假如吞不掉他，那可就慘了無論如何要自己拎槍跟關八對火，說什麼也幹不得。傳說虧心人打火，槍子兒也有眼，專朝人腦袋裏鑽。 白馬啾啾的亢嘯著，毛六抬頭看看馬，隔住飄搖的火焰，那匹馬的眼亮亮的，彷彿也望透自己的心思，毛六不禁格楞楞的打了個寒噤。 守在鄔家瓦房裏的一干人陷在可怕的死寂裏。 早在黃昏時，一點兒果腹的乾糧也用盡了，飢餓和乾渴像火一般的燒著人心腑，把人弄得空空茫茫的，時間混混沌沌的朝前流，人也混混沌沌的跟著朝前流，也不知那兒才是止處。假如領腿子的不是關八爺，恁是換誰，祗怕這兩日夜的乾熬也把人心裏的一點鬥志熬鈍了！正因為領腿子的是關八爺，正因為關八爺辦任何事一向都是算得清，斷得明，從來沒失算過，正因為關八爺的氣魄、膽識、機智、沉著使人信服，這夥人才咬緊牙根苦忍著，在死寂中熬過最難耐的時光。 飢餓和極度的睏頓會把人磨弄成那樣；會使每一張臉子脫肉般的深陷下去，會使人腮幫兒時時興起痙攣性的抽動，會使人兩眼發花，看什麼東西都忽大忽小，忽遠忽近，飄飄漾漾的，當中裹著一團青黑，會使兩耳裏嗡嗡的響個不停，彷彿有幾盤石磨在耳邊旋轉著一樣 在這種情況下，說什麼好像都是多餘的了。 而關八爺還是那樣背著手，在方磚大院子裏兜著圈兒緩緩的踱著。餓火一樣燒著他的腑臟，條條血絡一樣布滿他的眼角，他的嘴唇也已經破裂，咽喉乾轉發痛，充滿一股苦味，但他在等著。第一夜沒猛攻猛撲，四判官算是走錯了一著棋，這個白天他不猛攻猛撲，他該是走錯兩著了。南興村離腳下不太遠，彭老漢的民軍就在幾十里外，若沒別的差錯，今夜必到，幫裏的一干弟兄，祗要能熬過半夜，就將見著四判官被前後夾擊。在民軍沒來之前，飢餓和睏頓是座黑山，確是夠人爬、夠人翻的！ 天黑了，冷槍也跟著停了，周圍更死寂得可怕。 突然，他聽見長牆外的聲音。 噯，裏頭的那些魚鱉蝦蟹聽著，要吃點兒喝點兒什麼，就乖乖兒的扔了槍出來，姓關的他供養不了你們，咱們頭兒卻給你們預備著啦！ 沒種的不敢出來也該答腔呀？另一個扯著喉嚨管兒叫喝說：咱們業已在綁長梯，結繩梯了，咱們一撲進去，你們全成了餓死鬼了！ 龜孫兒的，老子賞你兩槍！石二矮子罵著，喉嚨已乾啞得分了叉了。 省著你那兩顆火罷。關八爺說：等會來還用得著的。 我說八爺，石二矮子說：如今我餓得還剩一口氣不打他們，再等下去，祗怕連匣槍全使不動了！咱們何不撞出去，乘黑跟四判官拚一陣？這餓死鬼可真的不好當。 枯樹林子裏有火光，雷一炮說：他們是在升火禦寒，嗯，有兩處豎起長梯來了比樹頭還高。 弟兄伙，盡力熬著罷，關八爺說：無論死活，我敢說這是最後一夜了！明早上，不是土匪看不見咱們，就是咱們看不見土匪！ 大夥兒又靜默下來。 夜朝深處走，天氣又轉寒了，在瓦面上伏著的人罩在濃霜下，說多淒冷有多淒冷，假若有頓熱湯熟飯添添火，也許會覺得好些，肚子一空，渾身熱氣也跟著散盡了，不由的發出僵索來。但在眼前的枯林裏，升起一堆又一堆的火焰來，那些在夜風裏搖曳著的、紅紅亮亮的火舌勾描出無數枯枝的黑影，槍聲停歇後，代之而起的是土匪們嘩嘩的哄笑聲，拉扳機擦拭槍支聲，喝酒猜拳聲，馬匹的嘶叫聲，鼻子很尖的石二矮子硬說他還嗅著烤肉的氣味。 四判官這個雜種，真會吊老子的胃口！他罵說：他可把老子肚皮裏的饞蟲全引到脖頸上來了！大狗熊，你覺得怎樣？你嗅著烤肉味兒沒有？ 大狗熊扒在前屋的瓦面上，鼻孔不停的吸動著，聞嗅著風裏飄來的、熏烤食物的香味，口水把半截袖子都打濕了。 我他娘從來沒像這般捱餓過！他說：這一回餓得我前牆貼後牆了，甭說什麼烤的，唉，就他娘有隻冷饃啃啃也成，就他娘喝碗稀湯呢，也不會凍成這個樣兒活活沙沙的呀？ ! 關八爺抬起頭來，遠處的火光閃跳著，把鄔家瓦房映成黯紅的飄搖不定的顏色；不能怪瓦面上的弟兄說這些缺氣話，連自己也覺得一陣陣的升起飄忽的感覺，估量著四判官就要動手了，他停住腳步，撩起袍子翻上了牆頭，跟瓦面上的弟兄混到一起，手搭在眉上朝四邊瞭望了一陣說：留神著，火熄時他們就會攻撲上來。四判官讓他們吃飽了喝足了來撲咱們，不知能猛到什麼程度？ 我不信當真能煮化了人？Shorty Shi Er said. 不信你就瞧著罷，雷一炮說：土匪的來勢，比起北洋防軍來，那可大不相同。那些防軍打火，拿著槍空擺架勢，每槍釘著三五發槍火，放完了完事，可是四判官手底下這幫土匪，那桿槍不釘百十來發槍火？我估量著，圍咱們的，沒有一千也有八百，他們要是槍槍張嘴，一頓猛放，真夠瞧的！ 也許是二更天，也許二更還不到，六合幫一夥人苦苦等待的時光終於來了。就在那種每人眼皮發重恍恍惚惚的辰光，一聲尖銳的牛角劃空而起，剎那間，四面都響起牛角的和應聲。 角聲一起，枯林裏的火光被人壓熄了，黑裏也不知有多少支槍迸了火，由於槍聲太密，一時也分不出槍聲，祗覺呼呼隆隆的好像颳起一陣激烈的狂風，風頭掃動整個枯樹林子，掃動長牆瓦屋和院落，磚屑迸散著，屋瓦炸裂著，綠火閃迸著，單是聲音就把人震得滿心迷亂，頭暈目眩了。 早在攻撲萬家樓時，四判官就有意使槍火蓋倒關八爺，那回沒得手，這回可趁了心願。頭一場排槍放過，瓦面上就朝下栽了人；那人中彈後全身一震，順著脊坡翻滾下去，跌落在方磚院子裏。 槍火是那樣密集，槍火把人與人之間最低的一點聯繫全給割斷了，槍口的藍焰從枯林邊沿的濃黑裏迸放出來，像一朵一朵魔花，密密的閃現著；槍火刮過每人的耳朵，打得人睜不開眼抬不起頭來。明知有人中槍滾落下去了，但誰也無法扯他一把，誰也無法問問傷的是誰？Who is dead?排槍密射時，人祗有平伏著聽天由命。 我的兒，厲害厲害！ 排槍一歇，石二矮子就搶著嚷嚷起來：這他媽該老子抬頭換口氣了！他奶奶的，大狗熊，你覺得滋味如何？Um? !你說怎樣？ ! 嗯嗯，大狗熊悶悶的說：這像是四判官請咱們喝一壺滋味很濃的原泡老酒，把老子弄得有些兒醉醺醺的了！ 狂風暴雨似的槍聲過去了，緊跟著，那些土匪們嗷嗷叫的怪吼起來，嘶啞的非人的叫聲挾帶著原始的淒怖和野蠻，在黑夜裏撕著人心，這聲音，使人想起一隻獰猛的大鷹使利爪撕碎活兔跳動的活肉上游走著一縷鮮紅。誰中了彈從瓦面上滾落了？who? !無論是誰都是一樣的了，都是推鹽車、灑血汗、死裏求活的人，滿臉的塵沙，滿身的黃土，活得卑微，死得默然，有冤有屈也無處可訴了！而土匪們暴喊著，有長梯的影子豎靠在長牆上。 黑夜裏攻撲，氣勢分外驚人，星光映不出人臉，祗見四面八方湧動著人影，帶著淒蠻的殺喊，在石二矮子暈暈糊糊的幻覺裏，那些全不像是人，而是傳說中黑夜顯魂的鬼怪。 即使到了筋疲力竭的地步了，六合幫一夥人的精神卻在這片殺喊聲中振作起來，瓦面上各管匣槍開始吐火，長牆頭上像下湯糰兒似的撲通撲通朝下栽人，黑裏也不知栽倒了多少，但覺那些人好像是打不完的，倒下去一批，又蜂湧上來一批，仍然呵呵的怪喊著，從牆缺間，長梯上翻進方磚大院子裏來。 抓關八呀！抓關八呀！ 長牆外有人放聲的叫嚷著，而翻進院子裏來的一些人影，全茫無頭緒的亂奔亂竄，穿堂裏伏著的匣槍一張嘴，方磚地上就躺了不少具屍首。那些傢伙衝進來容易，一旦遭到槍擊，想退出去可就難了，有些機伶的溜著邊，背貼著牆壁還槍，誰知房頂上人把他們看得清清楚楚。 石二矮子使腳踹翻了一架長梯，側滾過身子忙著抽換彈匣；那邊的雷一炮恰把匣槍放在瓦上，伸手掀起大疊的瓦片，狠朝底下砸去；砸得幾個溜邊的傢伙抱著腦袋哀叫，好像是挨刀的肥豬。 真有你的，雷老哥！石二矮子說：你說不放槍，果真就使起瓦片來了！ 雷一炮沒答腔，也沒功夫答腔，他不斷掀起層疊的瓦片，用力朝底下扔擲，雷一炮的臂力本就頗有斤兩，再加上狠命扔擲，瓦彈下去直可比得子彈，有兩個業已被打得扔了槍，雙手抱頭蹲在那兒發昏了，瓦片再打下去，使那兩個傢伙哎哎嚎叫著，繞著圈子亂爬。 大狗熊那邊，一架長梯上朝上冒人頭，石二矮子順手潑過半匣火，使那架長梯變成空的。而土匪似乎發覺了這邊瓦面上有人，密雨般的槍火移過來把人罩著。猛可地，雷一炮半邊身子一挺，伸手想抓他的匣槍沒抓著，人就連滾帶滑的滑到一邊去了；幸好那邊靠著偏屋的山牆，形成一條深陷的流水溝，把中了彈的雷一炮擋著，沒落進土匪手裏。 石二矮子原想滾過去替雷一炮裹傷，但他離不開，他得發槍擋著跟撲進來的匪眾。 隔了一忽兒，背後扔過一塊瓦片來。 噯，矮鬼，幫忙把我匣槍扔過來。雷一炮的聲音嘶啞，呼嚕呼嚕的，有點像拉風箱：我帶了傷，爬不動了！ 趁槍火略鬆的當口，石二矮子橫滾過去，摸著雷一炮遺落的匣槍，也不知那來那麼一股子勁兒，他猛的爬起身，踏著瓦脊飛奔過去，躍到雷一炮身邊。 雷老哥，他說：你傷在那兒了？ ! 你甭顧我，雷一炮咬著牙，絡腮鬍子根根豎著說：你頂好竄到前面去，去照應八爺去罷！ 那不成，我不能單單把你扔在這兒！石二矮子說：這是你的槍。 我自覺還能撐他幾個時辰！雷一炮固執的說：你去罷！還是：八爺那邊要緊 石二矮子拗不過他，順著瓦溝朝前游過去，關八爺在另一幢房屋的瓦面上，正跟土匪們殺得沉酣呢！怪不得一批土匪簇湧進來，另一批連不上，原來關八爺雙槍頂住了半邊天，爬牆的全給他掃下去了。關八爺這手槍法，石二矮子今夜可算領教到了，兩支匣槍在手，不但照顧了東面的一溜兒長牆，還照顧了偌大的院子，土匪在那兒現身，關八爺的槍火就點到那兒，槍槍不打空，使長牆裏外屍首疊著屍首。 饒是這樣，還是有人翻進牆來，混戰著。 時辰在石二矮子的感覺裏過得很慢很慢，從來也沒像這樣慢過彷彿被棗核兒釘釘在那兒，再也流不動了。而殺聲仍到處騰揚著，灌進人耳，流進人心，這樣的情景魘壓著人，使人滿腦子空空的，恁什麼全不能想了，祗有一個若即若離的游絲般的意念把人拴繫著一個本能的衛護生存的殺字。 抓關八呀，抓關八呀！ 是牆外的叫喊聲愈來愈加響亮了，但是，關八爺可不是這麼容易被抓住的人，他打得比誰都狠比誰都活，每當一梭火潑出手，他就滾動身子，讓還槍的人槍槍全擊在空無一人的瓦面上；他不但使槍火狠剃四判官的頭，更時時照應著各處伏身瓦面的弟兄。 大夥兒瞧著關八爺沒損傷，心裏都像吃了定心丸，雖說情況萬分危急，卻越打越起勁了。朱四判官各槍所帶的槍火雖然不少，但六合幫的各支匣槍，槍火也都是頂足了的，省著留在這一晚拼，不愁缺彈。 時辰一久，翻進院子的人更多，也不知關八在那兒，橫豎閉上眼亂發槍，逢人就打，又打起亂糟糟的爛仗來了。 就算是爛仗罷，假如四判官手下人都能硬挺下去，六合幫可真夠慘的了，可惜土匪雖說人多，也吃不住硬磨，衝也衝進去了，喊也喊粗了脖頸了，遍地磕磕絆絆的人屍，誰見著不膽寒？那些不聲不響的屍首還嚇不著人，糟就糟在掛彩帶傷的身上，有些走劫運，剛翻進長牆就被槍火灌上了！不是拖了胳膊就是拐了腿，有些得頭彩腦瓜子被瓦片砸得冒漿！逃得槍彈的從牆缺口翻遁出來，嚎的嚎，喊的喊，媽媽菩薩老子娘一齊出籠，把後面的心都扯疼了。 噯噯，裏面怎樣？ 嗨，甭提啦，負傷的爬著叫：誰碰上關八誰就這個樣！ 天曉得關八的匣槍怎樣打的，橫打橫著倒人，豎打豎著栽人！ 就這麼盲目傳播著；是關八爺打的也是關八爺打的，不是關八爺打的也是關八爺打的，硬把關八爺抬在嘴上，弄得人心惶惶，手把著長梯兩腿就發軟了。 旱匪頭兒徐四平常也不是不怕關八爺，祗因為肚裏先裝了些酒，錯把醉意當成膽氣，再加想得那匹白馬，就埋起匣槍翻上了牆頭，誰知剛上去就劈胸捱了一槍，軟丟丟的從長梯上滑下來了。 徐四爺栽啦！徐四爺栽啦！有人一路叫喊過去。 徐四這一栽不大要緊，徐四手下一把兒旱匪沒了頭兒，誰也不肯押上性命去爬牆了，本來就沒誰願打這場火，鄔家瓦房裏既無財寶，又沒金銀，何況關八是個硬裏兒，碰上他就腿瘸胳膊折，說什麼也犯不著，蹚黑道走混水，錢財才是大王爺，四判官算啥？ !就是賣命跟四判官出力，把六合幫吞掉，宰掉他們上肉案兒也賣不了幾個錢，抓活的更沒什麼獎賞，黑裏亂嘈嘈的，又沒有誰押陣，既然有懶可偷，大夥兒就當縮頭烏龜，虛放它幾槍應應景兒也就罷了！ 可憐徐四雖中了槍，卻不甘心就死，被他手下人擒著兩腿，像拉黃包車一樣的倒拖著跑到林子裏，兩眼還斜斜的朝上吊著，湧溢著血沫的嘴還嚅嚅的囈語著：馬馬白馬！ 在鄔家瓦房另一面，錢九手下那伙人開頭就沒賣過力，再加上毛六縮頭縮腦像隻瞎眼的夜貓子，那還號令得人？ 錢九那把子人，原想跟四判官合夥，在萬家樓分筆肥的，誰知一開頭就折了人，貼了老本，早就嚷著散夥了，錢九帶人入鹽市，一去就沒了消息。今夜圍鄔家瓦房，他們抱的是觀風望陣的心情，若果四判官打的順當，大夥兒不妨搖旗吶喊湊合湊合，壯壯聲勢，充充門面。偏巧開初就沒打好，兩番衝進長牆，沒見著對方人影兒光是捱槍，一梭火潑出來，活人就變成屍首，亂七八糟鋪在大院子裏，有些膽大的還沉得住氣，曉得自己姓什麼叫什麼？知道自己腦瓜還在不在脖子上？那膽小的，早就嚇暈了頭，連東西南北也分不清了。 有些弄岔了方向，翻到這邊來，逢人就喊說：不得了！Incredible!關八這一手匣槍，可真是開槍就見血，出手就傷人，弟兄伙，能遁的就遁罷！ 對呀，兄弟夥，錢九的人就應上了：四判官又不是誰的老子？生咱們養咱們的，活該聽他。咱們打家劫舍，自個兒的事情自個兒好拿主意，手風順，多做它幾宗案子，手風不順就銷聲匿跡不出頭，如今四判官硬拿鴨子上架，逼咱們跟他伙穿一條褲子，錢財好處沒得著，先去頂關八的子彈，這算啥玩意兒？ ! 有理進茶館去說，咱們先拔腿再說！ 早走早沒事！ 旱匪們紛紛議論著。 當朱四判官正在東南邊撲打不休的時刻，錢九的那撥人卻從枯樹林背後悄悄的拉走了。他們怕毛六報信，把他摘了槍綁在樹上，總算對他客氣，祗用他的瓜皮帽兒裝了一把泥塞在他嘴裏 而朱四判官仍然蒙在鼓裏，自從在萬家樓跟關八爺對過槍之後，他就犯上了心虛膽怯的毛病，儘管心裏把關八恨到骨頭裏，可就不敢出頭跟關八爺面對面的鬥槍。好在手下人多，活捉關八不易，抓個死的也成，旁人在攻撲鄔家瓦房時，他仍坐在枯林中的木段上喝他的老酒。 時辰慢慢的流過去，彷彿經過好半晌了，鄔家瓦房裏槍聲還是那樣猛，動靜還是握不住，拿不穩。慢慢的覺得有些不大對勁兒了，不知怎麼搞的？原先那些啊呵喊叫的殺聲，卻變成鬼喊狼叫的哀嚎再聽聽，槍聲祗有東南角還算密紮，西北兩個角上怎麼連槍也不響了？ ! 趕快著人繞到西北角去瞧瞧，朱四判官跟左右說：關八那伙人業已抓在手掌心了，難道還放他跑掉不成？ !快著徐四爺跟毛六爺加把勁，務必在天亮前把六合幫拿掉。 這邊剛差了人去，那邊有人慌慌張張報的來了。 頭兒頭兒，事情有些不妙。那人張口結舌的喘說：咱們徐四爺他他他中槍 how? !徐四爺中槍死了？ !四判官像火燒屁股似的跳起來：他死了？ ! 還還還還還沒死透，那個傢伙木頭木腦的幽了徐四一默說：還有一口游漾氣，翻著白眼珠兒，在那兒一抽一抽的嚷著馬呀馬的呢！ 你他媽的渾透！朱四判官狠狠的踹了那個傢伙一腳，踹得他蹲著身子，抱著膝蓋跳說：頭兒甭動火，四爺他真的沒沒死透，若果不給他水喝，他能撐到明天早上呢！（俗傳中槍負重傷者，不能立即喝水。） 朱四判官越聽越來火，轉臉一腳，想踹那人的屁股，誰知那傢伙似乎不願意再捱一腳，趁黑溜掉了，害得朱四判官摔了一跤。懊惱罷，實在也夠懊惱的了，自己手下最得力的五閻王，粗豪的錢九，全栽倒在關八手裏，如今又輪到徐四的頭上了自己混世闖道多少年，還沒在誰手上栽過，偏生遇著關八，大觔斗連著小觔斗，栽的鼻青眼腫，徐四中了槍，不知毛六怎樣了呢？ 正想著，那邊有人舉著火把，兩人把毛六架著，一拐一拐的走過來了。 how?老六。四判官驚問說：你莫非也中了槍？我看你那兩腿不甚活便 倒不是中槍，是叫捆麻了！毛六哭喪著臉說：錢九那幫人不但不幫您的忙，緊要的辰光，還倒拽您的後腿！他們拉槍退走了！臨走把我摘了槍，捆在樹幹上，塞了我一嘴泥，要不虧這兩位救我，我怕不叫捆死在那兒？ 他們實在是拉槍退走了！一個說：枯林裏漆黑一片，半個人影兒也沒見著。 我們朝回摸，另一個說：單聽林子深處嗚鳴的，好像是鬼嚎，再聽聽，又像是人聲，晃動火摺兒燃起火把來，才看見毛六爺，被綁在樹上像
