Those years of farming in the mountains

In the early morning, the sound of gongs came from the county town.

Crisp and melodious.

Liu got up early, he was going to visit a good friend today, he thought about it for a long time last night, tossed and turned, but in the end he still couldn't let go of this foundation and couldn't run away.

Wake up his wife who was still yearning for warmth on the bed, put on his clothes, and hastily called the servant girl to bring the meal. Before dawn, and he left in a hurry, he simply had a bowl of porridge to barely satisfy his hunger.

"Get up now, let Min'er and Ping'er wash up, take some soft gold and silver, and use the tunnel of Zhang Yaoli's house to hide for a few days."

Liu Daru ordered, but did not inform the rest of the family in advance except his wife.

Even the two daughters never knew about their father's plans.

Looking at the faint worry in his wife's eyes, he pretended to be calm and comforted him: "Relax, Mr. Donglin is one of the famous swordsmen in the prefecture.

"Now only a few female family members are allowed to stay. With this favor, it's okay."

Hearing this, Liu Da's wife looked slightly relieved, but she was still worried that Liu Da himself would be in danger, and said that it would be better if the whole family fled in one piece.

"no!"

Liu Da assertedly refused.

"The white gangsters first came and beat up many wealthy landlords to make an example of them. Now they are arresting me as a demonstration and keeping a close watch. You still have a chance to sneak away. I will definitely not be let go."

In fact, you have to be able to run.But Liu Da couldn't let go of his family's wealth in his heart. Even though he had already donated a large amount of money to those goddamn gangsters to avoid disaster, and was beaten to the bone from time to time, there were still many hidden in the cellar.

How many points can I bring to escape?As long as he can persist until these gangsters are beaten away by the government army, all his property will be kept!

After working hard for half his life, he could only take away a few bags of gold and silver. It was like fetching water from a bamboo basket in vain.

But the family members can't take risks with him. Although he looks down on the gangsters in the city, but the sword has no eyes, so they have to leave early.

Zhang Yaoli met Liu Da when he was in the cloth business a few years ago. Unfortunately, a group of merchants came from the north. The quality of the materials they brought was not bad, and they only cost a hundred yuan a piece. are affected.

He also changed his way of making a living.

However, the contact with Zhang Yaoli has never been broken. In the past few months, there was chaos in the north. Zhang Yaoli, who was doing business in the south of the Yangtze River, was forced to bring his family to this remote town to escape the increasingly fierce war.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and they didn't escape after all.Just two days after they settled down, they were blocked in the city again by white bandits.

Fortunately, he remembered that there was a tunnel in the other party's house, which led to the outside of the city. Perhaps it was the predecessor of the residence who did not trust the power of the local government, so he worked hard to dig it, and Zhang Yaoli was finally taken advantage of.

The latter experienced fleeing chaos and was still frightened, so naturally he did not bury this back road, and at the same time, he only talked about it once when he got together with Liu Da while drinking.

At that time, the two of them didn't feel anything else, they just thought about it.

Didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Liu Da sent his wife and daughter away, and he wrote a letter to Zhang Yaoli early in the letter, in which the other party advised him to leave as well, so that the sea and the sky would be brighter and he would not have to be trapped in the city to suffer, worrying about the precarious situation and the ruin of his family. …

Liu Da did not leave, but his friend still remembered that the friendship of his family touched him, so he pointed out the way for Zhang Yaoli, who was unfamiliar with the place.

"There is a small town called Pingya in the south of Mount Jiusu, where the famous swordsman Dong Lingong opened a martial arts gym there."

Dong Lingong was born in a wealthy family, and when he was young, he wandered in the green forests and rivers and lakes, and went out with a group of warriors.

After gaining a lot of fame, it happened that his parents in the family were old and needed to be served, so he returned to his hometown to get married and inherit the family business.

"Mr. Donglin has always been righteous and has a great reputation among warriors. Because of his family background, he also has good friends with local officials and merchants. I am also a rare first-class swordsman. Even after more than ten years, my sword is still young. .”

There is Kaishan Martial Arts Hall, dozens of hundreds of martial arts masters, and Dong Lin Gong who is able to eat in all aspects is sitting in the town. Letting his wife and children go to live temporarily and escape for a while, in Liu Da's opinion, it is undoubtedly better than following him in the county town. better.

After receiving the news, Zhang Yaoli was immediately grateful, and in his reply letter, he persuaded again, but Liu Da really missed his family's savings for several generations and couldn't bear to abandon them, so the former had to follow his instructions and leave with Liu Da's wife and daughter with the token he was given.

It was night, more than ten people fled from the secret road, the gangsters kept tight control in the city, fortunately Zhang Yaoli had done a lot of escaping and was very familiar with it, the group of people came out of the city without any surprises and came to a small courtyard that had been prepared beforehand. He got out his horses and headed towards Jiusu Mountain overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Da woke up from the couch mountain again, his heart clenched, he carried a drink and pretended to visit an old friend, and after making some excuses for the bandits patrolling the road, he was finally let go.

When I came to Zhang Yaoli's house, the doors and windows were locked, but I still found a letter in a hidden place in a familiar corner.

Putting it back in his cuff, Liu Da hurried back.

In his own house, in front of the desk, he spread out the letter paper at a glance, and when he saw that nothing happened on it, he let out a long sigh of relief.

His wife has been with him for decades, and the relationship between the two is unimaginable to outsiders, otherwise, with his family wealth, there is only this one in the backyard, even if there are only a few maids and maids in the future when gangsters come.

Seeing that his wife and daughter are safe, the next step is to appease the bandit leaders who are eating, drinking and having fun in the county government, and not let them have the intention of killing chickens and taking eggs for cooperative landlords and wealthy households like him.

Putting down the letter paper, just as the boulder fell to the ground, Liu Da began to think carefully about how to deal with the next thing. It is not an easy task to keep hidden treasures from being exposed among a group of gangsters who cannibalize people.

Boom boom boom!
Looking up suddenly, there was a violent knocking sound outside the door.

When Liu Daxin mentioned it, he thought in a trance that his actions had been noticed by the bandits.

No matter how turbulent his heart was, how he gritted his teeth and took out a short knife from under the head of the bed.

Yuan Lan's face turned pale, sweat poured out, but there was a trace of determination in his eyes.He told his wife where the money was hidden, as long as he died, even if these people rummaged through it, they could only find a small part...

"Liu Er!"

"What are you doing hiding at home!"

"Hurry up and get out, the big boss is going to lead people to attack Xuanjiang Town! I ordered you to let the rich households in the city quickly pay for food!"

call--

Breathing out in one breath, Liu Dajin let out all his strength and almost fell down. …

Fortunately, fortunately, it's not about his wife running away.

He wiped off his sweat, hurriedly packed his things, and burned the letter paper with a candle.

Then came to the door.

The door was wide open, and there stood a young man with slanted brows who looked like a thin bamboo pole. His body was covered with high-quality silk and satin he had ripped from someone unknown. His hair was disheveled, his face was stained with dirt, and his eyes were green.

It looks like a human, but in fact it is neither fish nor fowl.

Contemptuous in his heart, Liu Da apologized with a flattering smile.

"My wife broke her bone a few days ago, and she is recuperating these days. I would like to trouble my little brother to remind you. I will let them get the money right now."

At this moment, he didn't dare to be careless, and he patted his chest to promise, just say what the big boss wanted, and he, Liu Da, would be satisfied.

It is with this solid tongue that he can survive in the chaotic county.

Unexpectedly, the person on the opposite side was taken aback when he heard the words, but grinned his teeth jokingly and said, "Bone hurt? Hehe, Liu Er, don't lie to me."

Liu Da lowered his eyebrows and looked down, not even daring to speak.

He dug again and pulled out a few silver beans. In the process, he turned the cuffs inside out, revealing the clean inside. The pained look made the other party laugh again and again.

Shouzhugan thought in his heart that he seemed to have spit out what Liu Er had picked up from the rest of the city.

The Baigan bandit now has a lot of knowledge about Liu Er's personality. He knows that he is greedy for money, and he always uses their orders to search for money from various houses. He claimed that he could have as many as he wanted, but the quantity was indeed not low, which made the leaders very satisfied.

It also temporarily spared the other party's dog's life, and at the same time ignored the small actions of this person to profit from it.

Treat money like fate, doomed not to live long.

There was disgust in the eyes of the thin bamboo pole, and he only looked forward to the expression of the fat head and big ears being hacked to death by crossing the river and demolishing the bridge after being useless.

It's interesting to think about it, and I heard that this person has two daughters...

Fortunately, this person can still be used now, Shouzhugan didn't say anything else, and left after collecting the things and passing the word.

Behind him, Liu Da's face was cloudy and uncertain.

From the other party's mouth, it seems that the white bandit has already set his sights on his wife and daughter. At this moment, he is very glad that he sent his family out in advance, otherwise he will suffer more unknowns in the future.

Pooh!
Seeing the back of the domineering and domineering bandit drifting away, Liu Da angrily spat.

God damn dog thing!

Time passed day by day like this, and five days later, the atmosphere in the city became more and more dignified.

Liu Da walked in the alleyway, every step he took was in fear.

He shouldn't have been so afraid when he sent his wife and daughter away, but not long ago, the head of the white bandit led people to attack Xuanjiang Town, and was caught in his left eye by a loss that came out of nowhere.

It's a pity that the strength is not enough, so this villain survived by luck.

The big boss who returned after the big defeat became more and more irritable day by day, and beat and killed servants at every turn.

Even the younger brothers who followed him in the incident were beheaded for inexplicably provoking this man.

As a result, everyone in the city was so distraught that they didn't dare to say anything more.

Liu Da was cautious and tried his best to complete every assigned task, and the wealthy households in the city gradually lost their good looks towards this traitor who turned into a bandit. …

Fortunately, he privately returned part of the money he collected and searched to the other party, creating the impression that everyone was in the same boat, and he was just trying to save everyone as a last resort.

In this way, a little bit of anger was finally calmed down, and everyone looked forward to the arrival of the officers and soldiers again, and they would definitely eat the pots and pans to welcome the king's teacher.

However, two days later, a rich man was dragged out of the house with a howl, and with a slash of a knife, his glaring head fell aside and stared at the porter.

The woman's miserable screams were heard endlessly, and after venting, the big leader put on a cold face, and opened the gate of the courtyard to many young people.

The wickedness continued all day.

Liu Da knew the dead man, and brought a few acquaintances to the family to collect the body.

He knew that as long as the culprits were not destroyed, he would have to die one day.

Seeing this tragic scene, the sorrow of the rabbit dying and the fox rising quietly in the hearts of several people.

But after seeing the shining sword, they, a group of rich and noble people who used to be infinitely beautiful, are now extremely embarrassed and helpless, so they can only sit and wait to die, like pigs and sheep raised in the pen.

Day after day, the grumpy big boss would stab the family every now and then, for unknown reasons, purely to vent.

Sexual abuse for pleasure, murder for pleasure.

So ten days passed.

Not only ordinary people in the city were tortured to death by the white bandits, even Liu Da also suffered from headaches, because there was no money in the city.

Even when he took out some of the money he had hidden as offerings to a few close friends, and sent it up together, he still couldn't stop the white bandit's growing appetite.

"Yesterday, the second leader also lost, and was chased and killed by the officers and soldiers of Mu County. Unfortunately, those officers and soldiers are not many in number and cannot attack the county to rescue us."

Several people gathered together and whispered together, Liu Da was also unkempt at the moment, completely no longer the original posture.

After all, the White Rod Bandit is a grassroots team, and one cannot expect a group of gangsters who have turned into bandits to share weal and woe. Now, after several defeats, disputes have begun. Coupled with the already irritable leader, there are more and more signs of disintegration.

But this moment is the most dangerous.

The chaotic gangsters don't care about other things, and the gangsters just want to grab it and run away.

Liu Da's mental strength was haggard, and he had already seen the changes.

Now that he misses his wife and daughter, he regrets his original decision more and more, staying in the city is beyond his control.

Boom boom boom!
A knock on the door sounded at the right time, and several people trembled. In the end, Liu Daqian went to open the door.

Sure enough, it was distribution again, to search for money.

It's just that this time it's different from the past, the four leaders all put forward different requests!
"My life is over!"

Sighing, Liu Da dropped his hands in a daze.

The rest of the people in the room looked at each other, and they all saw the trace of fear in their eyes.

The white gangsters couldn't wait any longer, and wanted to make one last fortune before they ran away, and they... were sure to die.

Day two.

The familiar sound of bowl gongs did not remind him that the person who was doing the watch was hacked to death by a passing gangster two days ago, on the grounds that he was disturbing himself.

Liu Da got up from the bed and straightened his clothes.

Put on your robe and sit in front of the house.

Three days ago, the secret passage of Zhang Yaoli's house was discovered. Fortunately, he was not affected, but the limbs of several nearby residents were cut off and hung on bamboo poles to dry for two days and two nights. …

He couldn't escape.

There was a lot of noise and wailing outside the yard, and the white pole bandits had already begun their final madness.

dong dong!

This time, he didn't get up, and waited until the other party broke into the door, walking towards him with a grinning grin.

"Liu Er!"

"How is it? How is the collection of money and food?"

Shouzhugan led seven or eight people approaching with weapons in hand.

From the looks of it, Liu Da had no intention of making excuses.

Obviously, the other party has decided on him this time, but he doesn't know what this person's identity is among the white gangsters, so that he can share his "fat meat".

"You guys, go, drag this old boy aside, and then bring those two beauties to Master Li."

Speaking of this, Shouzhugan looked down and snickered.

"It seems that you still have a wife? Our brothers are not picky, and we can eat it! Hahahaha!"

The rest agreed, grinning grinningly.

Faced with all this, Liu Da showed awe, probably because he knew that he would not escape this catastrophe, so he simply stopped struggling.

Thinking of the tragic death of a group of old friends, as well as the loss of most of his money, and the torture he suffered these days, the fear dissipated in his heart, and he was full of anger instead.

"Bah! A bunch of bastards!"

He stood up, and this was the first time in half a month that he faced the gangsters and broke out.

Then he was knocked down by a fist and fell to the ground in great pain.

"what?"

The thin bamboo pole raised its hand, and it was about to be chopped down with a knife.

He was upset with this fat man early on, so he will teach him a lesson today.

"Go to hell! The labor and management will take good care of your girls later!"

Liu Da closed his eyes and waited for the last moment.

However, it has been a long time since the blade fell.

Instead, the commotion outside the courtyard gradually subsided.

Ok?what happened?He opened his eyes, and saw a dark figure standing in front of the door.

The man was tall, about nine feet!The trembling Liu Da was dumbfounded, he had never seen such a tall and burly person.

A body full of muscles, clinging like an old tree, with arms as thick as buckets!
He approached, step by step, the footsteps seemed to knock on the hearts of the gangsters, every step made them panic and couldn't stop backing away.

Come to the front, condescending.

And the thin bamboo pole that was clamoring just now was held in its head by an iron hand the size of a cattail leaf fan, and it was pulled up several feet alive!
"Oh? How do you want to hurt?"

"Is that so?"

The tone was flat, the hands were hard, the thin bamboo pole's head seemed to be squeezed into a cake, tears flowed and eyes rolled upwards.

Saliva flowed from the wide open mouth, and the limbs kicked the strong arm weakly, but it was difficult to shake it.

In the end, he stopped moving like a dead fish, suffocated and died.

This scene made everyone present feel as cold as snow.

Even Liu Da, who was saved because of this, felt his liver tremble for a while at the other party's violent actions that crushed people to death.

Ahhhhh!

Someone couldn't resist the oppression in his heart, and raised his long knife like crazy to slash from the side. Liu was shocked and wanted to remind him.

Bang!
Before the long knife fell, the strong man raised his leg and took half a step. As soon as he touched it, the attacker turned into a more blurred afterimage and flew across the wall, hitting the wall straight.

boom!The huge force was terrifying, the criminal's internal organs were kicked to pieces, and even the wall collapsed, raising dust. …

On the other side, several people were all crazy, some were running and running, some raised their knives, but this time the strong man didn't move, letting the sword fall on him.

"Heroes beware! There's—hiss!"

Just after reminding the exit, Liu Da was suddenly shocked, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

Not only him, but the gangsters who came to besiege also stared wide-eyed-the long knives were sharp, and there were a lot of them.

But he only tore open the opponent's shirt.

The red skin was exposed, the blue veins were undulating, blood leaked from the tiny cracks, a blush appeared, and the wound healed in just a few breaths.

This terrifying scene stunned everyone!

With a bang, the sword fell to the ground.

"Monster, monster!"

"Ah! Monster!"

"Daxian spare your life!"

Everyone fled in a panic, and just as they took a step, they heard the sound of silk cracking in the air, roaring fiercely.

The shadow of swift legs reflected in the eyes.

The next moment, the world was spinning.Seven or eight people vomited blood and fell to the ground without a sound.

Liu Da fought back and forth, watching this terrifying strong man slowly walk up to him.

He opened his mouth to speak, but was stuttered by the horror and shock in his heart, unable to utter half a sentence.

Then the strong man lifted Liu Da who had fallen to the ground to stand still.

He looked up and saw the other person's face.

Sword eyebrows star eyes, sharp edges and corners.

Unexpectedly handsome... completely inconsistent with this terrifying figure!
"You are Liu Qiyu?"

Liu Dayi, whose real name was Liu Qiyu, was taken aback when he was named.

Seeing that this person was suppressed as imagined, the strong man was helpless, without the aura of ghostly appearance just now.

He stretched out his hand and flicked the smoke and dust off his shirt.

He went on to say: "I saw your wife at Dong Lingong's place, and there was a man named Zhang Yaoli, who said that this place was occupied by a group of gangsters. Since they are on the way, we will solve it together."

It was plain and indifferent, as if the white bandit who wiped out hundreds of people was like trampling ants on the roadside to death in his eyes.

In fact, it was really very simple, because when the strong man entered the city, there were not many bandits here, and a few leaders had just passed by, and he happened to clean up the mess.

When Liu Da heard the news about his wife and daughter, he was relieved immediately, and he also learned that this person came from Dong Lin Gong.

When will there be such a person in Kekaishan Martial Arts?

As if seeing his doubts, the strong man waved his hand as if he didn't care, and explained something.

"It's just a coincidence."

"I am not the person who opened the mountain martial arts gym."

Speaking of this, the strong man introduced himself.

"A member of Yijian Sect, Li Mubai."

Liu Da cupped his hands to thank him, his thoughts turned, and he thought about what kind of school this Yijianmen is, there is such a master.
