第一章 囚车(1 / 2)

初秋的夕阳即将落山,抛洒出最后一丝余晖,空气中已经有了一丝淡淡的雾气,带给人一种淡淡湿润的清冷感觉。蜿蜒的桑干河南岸,几名垂髫牧童骑在牛背上,叽叽喳喳说笑个不停,胯下的牛踏着逐渐枯黄的青草,背对着夕阳,悠闲地向远处冒着袅袅炊烟的村落走去。

牧童们越过东边的树林,正要踏上官道的时候,忽然从西南方向传来一阵喧哗声。他们纷纷勒住牛缰绳,手搭凉棚向后方去,只见一队穿着土黄色军服的士卒押着十几辆囚车,迎着夕阳迤逦而来。见到是囚车,孩童们都露出习以为常的神色,掉转头加快速度向村落而去。

不久之后,囚车队伍来到了这片林子前面,缓缓停了下来。

押送囚车的士卒有五十几人,为首一名汉子眼如铜铃,虬髯满脸,左边眉角下方还有几道刀疤,看上去十分凶恶。这汉子身穿黑衣,外面罩着陈旧的皮甲,骑着一匹灰色的驽马,腰间斜斜挎着一把刀。其他士卒都穿着土黄色的衣衫,除了站在中间两辆囚车上的四个人身背弓箭之外,其他人都拿着普通的长矛长枪。

黑衣汉子看了看远处的河面,大声嘀咕了一句:“奶奶的,终于到桑干河了!”手里拿着马鞭跳下马来,对后面招了招手,“三儿,去打些水来,渴死俺了!”

一个黑黑瘦瘦的少年闻声跑过来,从马背上取下一只牛皮水囊,向河边方向走了几步后,回过头指着远处的村落疑惑地问道:“舅父,为何不去那边歇歇脚?”

黑衣汉子虚踢一脚,没好气地喝道:“恁多屁话,还不快去!”

黑瘦少年撇撇嘴,拔腿向河边跑去。

身后一人走了过来,看着少年的背影嘿嘿一笑:“江老大,又对小三儿呼来喝去,不怕回去后你妹子寻你是非?”这人个子很矮,却显得很敦实,袒露的胸膛上露出了几撮黑毛,一双圆溜溜的小眼睛里面充满了狡黠之色。

黑衣汉子偏过头,斜瞥了对方一眼:“胡六儿,你懂个鸟!上次来这里的时候,就是因为去村子里找吃的,才被……”说到这里,江老大似乎察觉到自己说漏了嘴,赶紧对后面几个人大喝一声,“你们几个憨货,不跟着去打水,等着俺伺候你们呢?”

胡六儿看着嘻嘻哈哈跟在小三儿身后去打水的几名同伴,又看看远处村子里的炊烟,心头十分疑惑——这一路行来,除了在驿站歇脚,其他时候只要附近有村落,江老大都会拿出县里开出的文牒扯虎皮拉大旗,向那些百姓讨要食物饮水,为何一进入涿郡地界就坚决不许去村子里了呢?有现成的热水热食为何要吃干饼子,不妨稍后悄悄去弄些来……想到这里,胡六儿眯缝着眼看着远处的炊烟,眼珠子滴溜溜转个不停。

江老大明显看出了对方的心思,手中马鞭虚抽一鞭,指着胡六儿的鼻子喝道:“胡六儿,你这憨货若是敢不听俺的话,小心鞭子不认人!”

胡六儿赶紧讪笑道:“哎呦,俺的个老大哎,小的哪敢啊?”接着稍稍凑过来一些,压低声音神神秘秘地询问了一句,“老大,为何一进入涿郡,你就怂了?”

“放你娘的屁!”江老大脱口骂了一句,看着胡六儿鬼鬼祟祟的目光,知道若是不说点什么,这个心眼颇多的家伙难免会给自己弄点麻烦出来,于是也压低了声音,叽里咕噜说了一通。

胡六儿听了一半就瞪大了双眼,听完后咽了口唾沫,期期艾艾道:“老大,那位少将军也太跋扈了吧,你都拿出县里的文牒了,他还把你暴打一顿?”

“你懂个屁!”江老大似乎有些牙疼的咧咧嘴,“别说俺只是一个小小的清河郡兵队正,就算当时是郡守大人在场,只怕那位少将军也是说打就打!”

胡六儿惊呼一声:“刺史大人他也敢打?”

“吵吵个甚!”江老大见周围的手下都望了过来,不满地瞪了一眼胡六儿,“涿郡大总管深得当今圣上信赖,手握数万精锐天节军,又极为护短,谁敢轻易得罪?数月前圣上第三次征讨高句丽的时候,那位少将军随父征战,也立了不小的功劳,据说圣上还当众赏赐了一柄宝剑。如此人物,就算把郡守大人打了,只怕大人也只能捏着鼻子认了!那位少将军最是痛恨欺压百姓,在涿郡名声极好,上次又确实是俺们错了,故而俺挨打也是应该的!”

胡六儿听到这里诧异地看着江老大,什么时候有仇必报的头儿这么好说话了,挨了打还为对方开脱?

江老大摸摸大胡子,举起一根手指讪讪道:“一招!那位少将军只用了一招,俺就倒下了!实在是生不起别的心思啊!”

胡六儿缩缩脖子,他和江老大是生死兄弟,自然知道老大的能耐,等闲十几个壮汉近不了身,岂料竟然被那位少将军一招击倒!由此可见对方武艺是如何的高明,而且听起来为人甚是跋扈,若是见到这少将军的话,自当有多远躲多远才是!

这时小三儿等人已经打来了水,江老大接过水囊,从包袱里取出几块干饼和两只小碗,向着中间一辆囚车走去。

这辆囚车上关押着一个低垂着头的灰衣汉子,身材极为高大,以至于不得不半弯着腰,以便适应双手上紧锁的木枷。他身上的衣衫已经破烂不堪,头发胡子杂乱的绞在一起,完全看不出本来面目。

听见脚步声灰衣汉子抬起头来,看见是江老大,微微点了点头。

江老大让站在囚车上的两名弓箭手也去吃食饮水,自己跳上车子,把一块饼子递给了灰衣汉子。
