The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 184 Trust
Many places in the ancestral hall were on fire with thick smoke billowing. It turned out that the pirates were unable to attack for a long time. After suffering a large number of casualties, they finally became angry and desperately used fire attacks.

They threw the lit firewood into the courtyard wall. Although there was no kerosene to support the combustion, it could not support the large amount. It happened that the most indispensable thing in this deserted village was thatched huts. The pirates collected rotten bamboo, wood, thatch, etc. The ground was thrown into the courtyard wall, and soon a raging fire broke out, causing great trouble to Tiehu and the others.

Tiehu and the others were originally short-handed. After a night of fierce fighting, only eight of them were still able to move. They had to put out the fire and deal with the thieves trying to climb over the wall. Naturally, they were even more stretched and exhausted.

At this time, a figure flashed on the wall, and a Japanese pirate holding a samurai sword screamed and jumped from a high place, and Tou Tou slashed at a salt soldier.The salt soldier was busy extinguishing the fire. When he noticed it, it was already too late. He barely dodged to the side, but in the end he did not escape. His left hand was chopped off at the arm, and he fell down in pain as he was bleeding profusely.

The nearby Xing Wei's eyes were cracked, and he rushed forward with a sharp sword, slashing at the Japanese pirate who climbed over the wall to sneak attack.

This Japanese pirate's skills were obviously very good. As soon as he landed on the ground, he rolled forward, jumped up quickly, and nimbly dodged Xing Wei's angry knife.

"Baga!" The Japanese pirate held a knife in both hands, stood with his feet spread out, faced Xing Wei, and solemnly took a horse stance, his eyes full of provocation.

Xing Wei let out a low growl, stepped forward quickly, and stabbed him several times in a row.

This Japanese pirate is estimated to be about 1.2 meters tall. Although his strength is not as strong as Xing Wei's, his movements are extremely flexible and his jumping ability is extremely strong. He can dodge and move around, and even strike back with a knife suddenly. Not only can Xing Wei not be able to do anything to him, he almost eats him. When he saw the knife, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He didn't dare to be careless anymore and concentrated on dealing with it.

The two fought back and forth for several rounds, but neither could do anything to the other.At this time, more thieves took advantage of the opportunity to climb over the wall and enter, and the situation suddenly became precarious. Xing Wei couldn't help but secretly worry. When he was distracted for a moment, he was hit on his calf. Blood gushed out on the spot. Fortunately, it was just the tip of the knife, and he was not injured. No muscles or bones were injured.

The Japanese pirates showed a proud smile, but soon turned into panic. It turned out that the salt soldier whose arm had been cut off just now got the strength from nowhere, suddenly rolled over and hugged one of his legs, and gave him a fierce bite He bit down on his heel and even bit off a piece of flesh.

The Japanese pirate let out a shrill scream in pain, but Xing Wei had already taken advantage of the opportunity and slashed diagonally like lightning, cutting the Japanese pirate into two pieces.

"Old road!" Xing Wei flew up and kicked half of the Japanese pirate's body away. He hurriedly squatted down to check on the salt soldiers, but his heart soon sank to the bottom.

The salt soldier named Lao Lu was pale and his eyes were blurry. He was obviously dead. His left arm was severed at the shoulder level. Because the bleeding was not stopped in time, the blood was almost gone.

Xing Wei's eyes immediately turned red. This salt soldier's surname was Lu. He was less than 30 years old. He and Xing Wei usually got along well with each other, but Xing Wei still didn't know his name, but everyone called him Yan Bing. Lao Lu, so he also called him Lao Lu.

"Brother Shitou, have the Japanese pirates been killed?" Lao Lu asked weakly.

Xing Weimeng nodded and said: "Kill him! It's all in two. The head belongs to you, and the credit also belongs to you."

"Hehe, it's not a loss for me!" Lao Lu chuckled, and suddenly his neck tilted, and he lost his breath completely.

"Ah!" Xing Wei roared with red eyes, raised his knife and pounced on another pirate who had climbed over the wall. Lao Lu was right, killing one is enough to make money, killing two is profitable, and you can never lose, no, I To earn, to earn more!
Xing Wei is an orphan. He has been crawling on the streets since he was a child. He has never been a good person. At this time, his viciousness is aroused, and he is almost crazy. He does not care about his own safety and is just going to die together. That person The unlucky pirate thought he had a bargain, but found out that the other party was a madman, and he immediately became timid.

As the saying goes, go all out, whether it is a street fight or a battlefield killing enemies, in addition to equipment, courage is actually very crucial. If one party is afraid of fighting, and the enemy chases and chops them, then they will basically get a box lunch.

Sure enough, the pirate only resisted a few swords and was killed by Xing Wei.Looking at the iron tiger again, an iron rod made the tiger angry. It was almost impossible for strangers to get close to it. Anyone who touched it would die or be maimed. Those thieves who had climbed over the wall to see it fled over the wall one after another.

After a round of fierce fighting, the thieves' attack was barely repulsed. However, two salt soldiers were killed and two were injured. Now, together with Tie Hu, Xing Wei and Jiang Biao, there are only four people left. They could barely still fight, and the four of them were at the end of their rope. They fought fiercely for most of the day, without drinking any water or eating a grain of rice. Even those who were made of iron could no longer withstand it.

Tie Hu leaned on the ground with his stick, panting like an ox. Jiang Bin and the only remaining salt soldier also fell to the ground. Xing Wei simply lay on the ground motionless, with flames rolling around him, almost burning his body. As if unaware.

Tiehu was shocked when he saw this, and quickly walked over to check with the iron rod, and found that the boy's chest was rising and falling, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I thought you had burped, your butt is burning and you don't know how to move." Move."

"I'm too tired, I don't want to move!" Xing Wei said feebly.

Tiehu bent down and dragged Xing Wei's hand back a little to keep him away from the fire, and then he sat down on the ground tiredly.

Xing Wei lay on his back, quietly looking at the crescent moon setting in the sky. He suddenly licked his chapped lips and asked, "Huzi, do you think the moon looks like a woman's eyebrows? No wonder people say that the third day of the third lunar month is the beginning of the new moon." Si'er Meiyue, what a damn image!"

Tiehu looked up and nodded: "It does look like it. Could it be that you want to sing an impromptu song? Or are you missing your mistress?"

Xing Wei shook his head and said, "No, I miss my mother."

Tieniu was a little surprised and said: "Do you know what your mother looks like?"

Xing Wei shook his head again: "I don't know, but I guess my mother must have such beautiful eyebrows. When I was a child, I often dreamed about her, but when I grew up, I never had them again."

Tiehu was silent for a moment and then said: "Maybe your mother knows that you have grown up and can take care of yourself."

Xing Wei let out a breath and murmured: "Maybe, Huzi, do you still remember that little girl?" "Which one?"

"It's the one we met at Tongzhou Pier the year we went south with Third Master. We even gave her and the nanny a ride."

Tiehu nodded and said: "You said Yuanyuan, of course you remember it, what's the matter?"

"That day on the boat, she fell asleep and called her mother. She must have been dreaming about her mother. She is like me. She has no parents at such a young age." Xing Wei said softly.

"I'm luckier than you. Although I lost my father when I was young, at least I still have my mother to care for." Tiehu sighed.

Director Jiang Bin came up to me at some point and interjected: "I'm just the opposite. I've never had a mother since I was a child, so I've often been spanked by me, and I'm scared to death of him. In the past two years, when the old man stretched out his legs, no one would spank me anymore. On the contrary, I feel uncomfortable.”

Xing Wei said dissatisfiedly: "Don't interrupt, just listen to me first."

Tiehu put the iron rod aside: "Then tell me."

Xing Wei licked his cracked lips again, his throat seemed to be on fire, and his voice became hoarse: "I, Xing Wei, have no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters. I originally wanted to recognize Yuanyuan as my sister on the ship. But I’m too embarrassed to speak.”

"Why?" Jiang Bin asked curiously.

Xing Wei said calmly: "She is round and round, and she is a beauty. When she grows up, she will be a beautiful woman who will conquer the entire country. But I am ugly and not worthy of being her brother."

Tiehu scolded: "Fart, a man relies on his true ability, not on his face."

Mr. Jiang nodded in agreement: "Brother Huzi is right. As long as a man has real skills, he can still eat swan meat and sleep with the Queen Mother."

Xing Wei smiled and scolded: "Animal, but I am listening to this."

Tiehu glanced at Xingwei and said, "Yuanyuan said she lives in Taohuawu, Suzhou. How about we take a leave of absence from the Third Master and go to Suzhou to see her and recognize her as our god-sister by the way?"

Xing Wei looked at the crescent moon that was about to set on the horizon, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go. Hu Zi, you might be able to go. I'll take care of you then!"

Tiehu snorted coldly: "Bring me a fart, I want to go with you."

Xing Wei smiled bitterly and said: "Huzi, Brother Hu, I have always treated you as my own brother. You are optimistic about the third master and want to go south with him. I followed him south without saying a word, but this time you listen to me. Let's stay safe." If you can't hold on any longer, Third Master's reinforcements won't come. When the thieves come in, I'll stop them. You can escape through the window of the wing, and one of us brothers will survive."

Tiehu frowned and said: "Fart, I'll leave you and run away by yourself, it's nothing to me."

Xing Wei's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Huzi, I listened to you before, why can't you listen to me this time? I can't run anymore. If I still have the strength, you don't need to tell me, I will be the first one." Escape first."

Tiehu said solemnly: "Shitou, do you believe my vision?"

Shitou nodded and said, "Of course!"

"That's enough. From the first time I met Third Master, I felt that Third Master was not an ordinary person. I believed in him, just like you believe in me. Third Master has both real ability and good luck, and can achieve great things. If we follow him, we can make a difference!"

Shitou nodded and said: "The third master won the title of scholar by winning the title of scholar before he was nine years old. This is rare not only in our Jin Dynasty, but also in all previous dynasties. In addition to strength, luck is also needed."

"So I believe that Third Master will not let us down this time. Brother, don't give up, at least hold on until dawn." Tiehu reached out and pressed Shitou's shoulders and said excitedly.

Shitou grinned and said, "After hearing what you said, Huzi, I think I'm okay. Help me up!"

Tiehu also grinned, picked up the iron rod with one hand, and held the stone with the other. The two brothers struggled to stand up.Jiang Bin said enviously: "Why don't I have a good brother?"

Shitou immediately stretched out his hand, and Jiang Bin suddenly felt the blood surge in his chest. He held Shitou's hand and stood up. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I, Jiang Bin, will have no regrets even if I die here tonight!"

--boom!

There was a loud noise, and the wall of the ancestral hall collapsed at this moment, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust.
