Early the next morning, Liu Youde returned to West Village with the dowry and the greeting team, and Yang Yulang was secretly happy when he saw it.

There is still one year to go, and the opportunity will not come again, and within this year, we must scrape together enough money, even if we smash the pot and sell iron.

Yang Yulang couldn't rest assured that Xiumei was not relieved, and he planned to resign to Xiumei in person.

On this day, it was drizzling, and the mountains in the distance were tightly covered by rain and mist.

Yang Yulang said goodbye to his parents, carried his bags, and came to the Moon Pavilion, he was quietly waiting for Mei'er's arrival, and they made an appointment to meet here.

The season is late autumn, the weather is a little cold, Yang Yulang is wearing thin clothes, and the cold wind hits the bone-chilling cold.

He hoped that Mei'er would arrive sooner, but after waiting for a long time, there was no trace of Mei'er.

"Could it be that Mei'er broke her word? Impossible? She promised it herself, how could she go back on her word? Could it be that her father, who hates the poor and loves the rich, will not allow her to come? Yang Yulang was puzzled.

"Yulang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Just when Yang Yulang was anxious, Xiumei hurriedly came to him and said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's still early." Yang Yulang's hot eyes stared at Xiumei, suddenly, he put down his luggage, picked Xiumei up, enthusiastically circled in place, and then suddenly put it down, and kissed Xiumei on the face with a hot mouth.

Xiumei closed her eyes and remained motionless to let Yulang vent.

After Yang Yulang was crazy for a while, Xiumei returned the love and passion that had been stored in her heart for a long time to Yulang without reservation, and silence was better than sound at this time.

"Yulang, you are not familiar with life when you go out, you have to be more careful. 10,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, how much can be earned, my family is not short of money, I will figure out the rest. Xiumei said.

"Mei'er, don't worry, I have my own way to make money. It's just that when I'm not at home, you have to take care of yourself, and my father and mother will trouble you to take care of it more. Yang Yulang said.

Xiumei nodded tearfully.

"The cicada is poignant, the long pavilion is late, the shower is at the beginning of the break, the tent door is boundless, the nostalgia is in Lanzhou to urge flowers, and the hands look at each other with tears...... Affectionate parting since ancient times, and even more so that can be scattered in the Autumn Festival, where to wake up tonight? The willow bank is windy and waning moon. Over the years, it should be a good day and a good time, even if there are thousands of styles, who to talk to. Yulang groaned with emotion.

"Yulang, it's not too early, it's time to leave." Merle urged.

"Alright, let's go. Mei'er, go back, or your father will scold you again. Yurou picked up his bags and waved his hand to leave the Moon Pavilion.

This is the first time he has gone far away, and he doesn't know where to go? Xiumei saw Yulang leaving, chased after him frantically, stuffed a handkerchief embroidered with winged mandarin ducks to Yang Yulang, and said shyly: "Yulang, seeing things is like seeing people, you keep it well, be careful all the way." ”

Yang Yulang took the handkerchief, took Xiumei's hand and said emotionally: "Mei'er, take care, I'm leaving." Don't worry, as soon as I find a job, I will write a letter to my family. After that, he reluctantly shed tears and said goodbye.

Xiumei looked at Yulang disappearing into the distance with affection, and prayed silently in her heart: "I hope God bless Yulang to pick up gold ingots on the road, go out to find a good errand, everything is going well, smooth sailing, and all wishes come true." ”

Yang Yulang left his hometown and went all the way north. Due to the rush of the distance, I missed the accommodation.

It was getting dark, Yang Yulang only felt hungry and tired, and as far as the eye could see, there was a big mountain in front of him, and there was no village.

"Oh my God! There are vast mountains here, there is no shop in front of Buba Village, how to spend the night? What to eat? Are there any wild wolves in this mountain? Alas—it's unlucky. Yang Yulang complained bitterly.

After eating the dry food he brought with him, Yang Yulang sat down on the side of the road to rest, thinking about how to spend the night. At this moment, I saw two people coming down from the mountain to the north.

A tall, thin man with a short beard who looked to be about forty years old.

A tiger with a bear's waist, a face full of meat, and an abominable face.

The tall and thin man came to Yang Yulang and said, "Young man, come from the south!" It's the first time you've gone far away, right? ”

Yang Yulang nodded and asked suspiciously, "Two big brothers, what kind of place is this?" Why are you here? Did you miss the accommodation like me? ”

"Hahahaha-haha-boy, listen up. This is Jiepai Mountain, which is the junction of the two provinces, and the three-regardless zone is also our territory. This road is opened by us, this tree is planted by us, if you want to pass from here, obediently leave to buy road money. The meaty-faced man said.

When Yang Yulang heard this, he suddenly felt cold. Not to mention going out to earn money, I'm afraid I can't even keep the coils on my body.

"What should I do? Is it just watching them take the money with such a blank eye? No! What should I do if I don't have money to eat and stay along the way? Is it starving to death? People can be ruthless if they are not grass and trees, and I beg them again to leave me a little silver tael. Yang Yulang thought of this and knelt down and begged:

"Two big brothers, okay! I still have my old father and mother at home waiting for me to earn money to go back to support them. ”

"Little brother, how old are you? What do you do when you go out? Where do you go to earn money? Nowadays, the world is very chaotic, and there is no way for the poor to live wherever they go. It's better to stay and work with us, the heroes of Liangshan in the past were forced to go to Liangshan. We were also forced to come here and fall into the grass. The tall and thin man said.

Yang Yulang listened to it and thought in his heart: "If it is not peaceful today, how easy is it to make money?" Besides, I'm a first-time traveler, and I'm not familiar with my life, where can I find a good job? It's better to promise them first, it's important to save your life. ”

"Two big brothers, what's the point of falling into the grass here? How much money can I earn in a month? Yang Yulang asked.

"This is the junction of the two provinces, and the merchants from the south to the north must pass through here, and if you are lucky, you can get a few thousand taels of silver at one time. It's just that we have too few people, and we don't dare to slaughter fat sheep when we encounter them, and they usually have a dart master to escort them. So, we urgently need to recruit and expand our ranks. The tall and thin man said.

Yang Yulang listened to it and pondered in his heart: "If you want to get rich, you can only rob it when you are a robber." Since they are in dire need of talent now, why don't I join Greenwood? Try two votes first, if I can make a fortune, I will work for a year, earn 10,000 taels of silver and go home to marry a wife and have children, and give my father and mother a pension. ”

After Yang Yulang made up his mind, he stood up and said to the tall thin man: "Big brother, I promise you to join the gang." However, since we are heroes of the green forest, we must set the rules of the green forest. First, it is forbidden to rob the property of the poor, second, it is forbidden to bully the elderly, weak, women and children, and third, it is forbidden to harm people's lives. ”

The thin and tall man was surprised when he heard this: "I didn't expect that the little brother is young and has a bodhisattva heart." Look at your talent, speak Swenwen, you must be a learned person, it is better to be a military advisor to our cottage. In the future, we will do great things, and you, the military division, are indispensable. Brother Butcher, what do you think? "The tall and thin man said and asked the butcher for his opinion.

"Good! We are all rough people, and if we want to achieve great things, it is necessary for military advisors. Brother Xiucai, you will be done, and in the future, our team will grow, and you will be the third leader. The butcher laughed.

Yang Yulang saw that the butcher was fierce on the surface, and he was quite cute when he spoke. He felt that agreeing to join the house in this situation was the only way out and the best choice. People have no windfall and no wealth, horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, since they are desperate now, then try this line of work.

"Two big brothers, how many people do we have now? How are the supplies prepared? Since I'm one of them, I have to know the roots. Yang Yulang said.

The thin and tall man thought for a while and said, "I can't hide it, it's just the two of us now, because our brothers killed the bully Fang ** who bullied men and women in the town in a fit of anger and fled to this mountain."

We make a living by hunting here, and if we run into a single traveler, we can make a little fortune by the way.

You are the third one-liner we have met, and we see that you have fine skin and tender meat, and we can't bear to hurt you, so we want you to join us.

However, the two brothers and I made a plan to recruit and expand the team.

As long as our team expands, we can be like the heroes of Liangshan, punishing evil and promoting good, robbing the rich and helping the poor under the banner of 'doing the right thing for heaven'. ”

"Yes, we sold all our belongings to come here, and saw that it was surrounded by mountains, the mountains were dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was regardless of the boundary, so we decided to pull a team here and live a free life that is not restricted by the government." The butcher said.

"Are you two brothers?" Yang Yulang asked suddenly.

"We're not brothers but brothers. The two of us grew up together, doing business together, killing bullies together, and escaping together. The tall and thin man said.

Yang Yulang knew from the accounts of the two of them that they were not great traitors. They are jealous and hateful bloody men, and they have the demeanor of heroes in Liangshan, as long as they give them more good opinions in the future, I believe that they will not harm innocent people.

"Two eldest brothers, since the younger brother has joined your ranks, you should always provide me with food and lodging! After a day's journey, hungry and tired, it is better to take some practical action. Yang Yulang said.

"What the brothers said is very true, let's go, let's have a few drinks together to celebrate." The butcher said, pulled Yang Yulang, and walked towards the mountain col with a smile like an innocent child, where was the newly built grass house of the two brothers.
