Yi Qingfeng and the others didn't mention it for the time being when they lived in Nanmen Mansion, but said that Jiang Nanchun led a group of remnants of the defeated army and fled for dozens of miles, and saw that there was no chasing soldiers behind them before they gradually stopped, and nearly half of the soldiers and horses were lost in this battle, and the forces that Jiang Nanchun, Ren Baichuan and others had spent a lot of money to develop were put into flowing water like this, and their mood can be imagined.

Ren Baichuan was furious and said: "Damn, that idiot in Nanmen Liang is really nosy with rats, let's not go to him for trouble, he dares to lead a large group of people to touch our mold, we must find this account in the future." ”

Jiang Mianchun said: "How can it be just like that, a mere Nanmen family is just a small pebble on the way forward of our Bright Holy Sect, and when Elder Tong leads the brothers in the sect to arrive, we have to kill the Nanmen family without leaving a chicken dog." ”

Ren Baichuan said: "What the eldest brother said is very true, when will Elder Tong come to meet us, do you believe it?"

Shi Liang said: "There is a letter, I just received a flying pigeon from Elder Tong the day before yesterday, and he said that it will be more than a month or two months soon, and he will definitely bring a large army to meet us." ”

Jiang Nanchun was overjoyed and said: "Okay, let's be patient for a while, and when Elder Tong arrives, it's time for us to raise our eyebrows." ”

Everyone rested in the barren mountains for a while, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, Ren Baichuan said: "Big brother, this place is deserted, not a place to stay for a long time, the brothers are hungry and thirsty after a battle, and they have to find a place to stay." ”

Jiang Nanchun said: "I'm afraid that our cottage won't be able to go back, and the dog thing in Nanmen Liang may have set up an ambush waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net, and it seems that we have to find another place." ”

Shi Liang said: "The eldest brother is right, when the younger brother came to Wangxi City a few days ago, he passed through a place, where there is a big river in front of it, backed by deep mountains, and there are some families around.

Jiang Nanchun thought for a moment and said, "That's it, the third brother will lead the way." Saying that, everyone walked forward under the leadership of Shi Liang. Originally, the village that Shi Liang said was called Jiangkou Village, about sixty or seventy miles away from Wangxi City, and there were about one or two hundred families in the village, most of whom made a living from farming.

Jiang Nanchun and others found a remote place outside the village to set up camp, and they did not dare to blatantly break into the village, for fear of exposing the target, and second, for fear of causing the villagers to resist and cause extraneous branches. Fortunately, they still had some silver taels on them, and after settling down, Shi Liang led a team of people to the village to buy and sell some food.

After a few days in the blink of an eye, Jiang Nanchun and other thieves had a place to stay, but there was not much silver left on their bodies, and they were a little stretched for a few days, so they had no choice but to start the idea of the nearby villagers.

On this day, villagers He Jiaxiang, He Nianfeng father and son drove dozens of sheep to the suburbs to graze, walking, and suddenly from the side of the mountain forest out of more than a dozen murderers with knives and sticks, the leader is Shi Liang, he said to He Jiaxiang: "Old man, these sheep are your family?"

He Jiaxiang said: "Yes, these sheep must be raised by the villain's family, and the villain is about to drive them to graze." ”

Shi Liang said: "No need to go, these sheep are grazing on Lao Tzu's territory, and now they are all owned by Lao Tzu, if you dare not follow, don't blame these brothers under me for being angry, they start a fire to kill people without blinking." As he spoke, he waved the big knife in his hand viciously.

He Jiaxiang, an honest farmer, had seen this kind of scene when he was frightened, and he took a step back and said: "The province of the king is good, and the villain's family points to these sheep to live, can the king send a kind heart and leave half of it for the little one." ”

Shi Liang rushed forward and kicked He Jiaxiang over and said: "Old thing, I still want to bargain with Lao Tzu, these sheep and Lao Tzu all want it, you leave the sheep and get out quickly, otherwise your heads will fall to the ground." ”

Seeing Shi Liang being ruthless, He Jiaxiang didn't dare to say more, he hurried towards the village with the support of his son He Nianfeng. The father and son fled home in embarrassment, and He Shi was taken aback and said, "Old man, you were scratched by a bear in the mountains, how did you become like this." ”

He Jiaxiang covered his waist and said, "I'm so in pain that I can't speak, Feng'er, you quickly tell your mother what's going on." ”

He Nianfeng said: "Mother, my father was beaten by a bandit leader in the mountains, they robbed all our sheep, my father wanted to bargain with them, but he was beaten like this, if we don't follow, we will be killed." ”

After hearing this, He Shi said angrily: "This is worth it, is there no royal law, these bandits are too rampant, we can't suffer this big loss, we have to go to the village to discuss with the village chief." ”

He Jiaxiang said: "Feng'er, you accompany your mother to the village to find everyone to tell you about this, and see what you can do." ”

He Nianfeng said: "Yes, Dad." As he spoke, he walked towards the village with He. The two hurriedly walked forward, met many villagers along the way, and heard that He Jiayang was robbed by bandits outside the village, and all the villagers were very angry, and they put down their work and gathered together with the two to the village chief's house.

Xie Bao, the village chief, was watering the vegetable patch in front of his house, and when he saw a large group of villagers coming from afar, all of them were angry, and he knew that something must have happened. As expected, dozens of sheep of the He family were robbed by bandits, and He Jiaxiang also injured the bandits.

Xie Bao knew that something must have happened, but he didn't expect such a big event, he said in disbelief: "Nian Feng, is this matter true or false?"

He Nianfeng patted his chest and said: "Village chief, who dares to lie about this, my father and I were present when the bandits robbed the sheep, I saw it with my own eyes, my father was beaten and is lying at home now, if you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself." ”

Xie Bao said: "That's really a big deal, the bandits can do anything to rob homes, kill people and set fires, how can we little people fight them, if I want me to say that everyone will hide in the future, don't drive cattle and sheep there, as long as they don't break into the village." ”

After listening to this, He said: "That's not good, is it just the sheep that our family lost, that's our family's livelihood for a year." ”

Xie Bao said: "People are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, what else do you want to do, it is better to lose a sheep than to lose your life, even if your He family is unlucky." ”

He shouted, "My God, you can't do this. There are hundreds of men, women, and children in our village, so can't everyone catch up together and snatch the sheep back?"

Xie Bao said: "Sister-in-law, you are too naïve to think, those people are bandits, all of them are demon kings who kill people without blinking, let's catch up and not lose our lives by hitting stones with eggs." We will discuss the sheep lost by your family in the village, and each family will take something to compensate for it, and it will not work to fight the bandits alone. ”

A villager in the crowd said: "The village chief is right, we can't fight the bandits alone, we have to go to Wangxi City to find some capable people to help, a few days ago I heard that someone organized many righteous people to beat away a group of bandits." ”

Xie Bao said: "This plan is good, I will go to Wangxi City tomorrow for a trip, if I can find someone to remove the bandits in the future, I can sit back and relax, everyone doesn't have to worry about this matter, everyone is busy with their own work." ”

The villagers took turns to comfort He's mother and son, and then dispersed.
