Chapter 63: Deserters

Eighty miles southwest of Nanyang, in the mountains of Guankou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The mountain is gentle, surrounded by double streams, and the forests in the middle are luxuriant, and the four fields are wild.

By a small stream, the three of them were walking along the water in the dense grass and trees more than one person high.

Shrubs block the road, and grass can hide the sun.

"How did this grass grow so tall?" A burly man with a black turban and a red-trimmed inky samurai costume said.

"The soil is thick, the water is fertile." The man at the front replied. It was Ah Xiu, she dressed as a man, with a scholar's bun on her head, wearing a yellow short coat, blue wide-waisted leggings, stepping on grass shoes, stepping on a small rock by the stream, looking down while exploring the way.

Walking in the middle was Li Yuzhun in a dark purple robe, walking while learning the appearance of a leader, looking down in the stream.

Suddenly, the person in front of him suddenly stopped and stepped directly into the stream.

"Miss Axiu, but have you found something?" Li Yuzhun asked eagerly.

Although he agreed to follow, in his heart, he still did not believe that he could really find a gold mine.

Ah Xiu groped under the stones in the water, grabbed a handful of stream sand, and slowly sifted it in the water.

Li Yuzhun lifted his robe, stepped into the stream below his ankles, and leaned over to look at Ah Xiu.

The stream is clear, and a pair of jade feet with snow fat condensed skin are dipped in the water, as if the white heart is carved from ice glutinous green.

Li Yuzhun couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and quickly stopped his gaze and looked at Ah Xiu's hand.

Ah Xiu slowly straightened up, and the samurai suit also probed over.

In the ivory palm, a small pool of fine gravel reflects the sunlight between the grass gaps that cover the stream, and the stars are dazzling.

"Golden sand?" The samurai suit was the first to say.

Li Yuzhun opened his mouth wide, stretched out his thumb and index finger, pinched one of the bright lights, and brought them to his eyes, his fingers parted, and the bright light stuck to his index finger, yellow and dazzling.

"Golden Sand!" There was a half-blank in his mind, and he was filled with ecstasy!

It's really gold sand!

He looked up at Ah Xiu, that ugly face looked more beautiful than Oiran at this time, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was a woman, he would have wanted to hold her and throw her to the sky.

"There's really gold!" He suppressed his excitement, and his voice trembled.

"Oh my God!" The samurai held his head and shouted, then lifted his sleeves, bent down his tall body, and kept scooping up the mud and sand at the bottom of the stream.

"Baozhu, don't look for it, it's nothing, right, Miss Axiu?" Li Yuzhun couldn't hide his joyful face, holding his index finger, full of confidence.

"Hmm." Ah Xiu's head was bowed, and his face was unwavering.

Suddenly, she tilted her head slightly and looked deep into the grass on the shore, "Someone is dotting us." ”

"Who?" That Baozhu was Li Yuzhun's accompanying bodyguard, and when he saw Ah Xiudu, he found that someone was following, but he didn't notice it, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He is a disciple of Shushan, a short sword of Shumen makes the wind and water rise, and he has traveled all over the north and south of the river with Li Yuzun, and he has never missed his job or missed his hand.

He gathered his ears, and sure enough, he heard the sound of someone's breathing coming from the woods outside the grass.

Can this Ah Xiu girl hear it? He couldn't help but glance at that ugly face a few more times.

"Who's here?" He stepped onto the bank of the stream and shouted.

"Your grandfather and me." When the visitor saw through it, he simply walked out of the woods.

The sound of grass and branches swished, and there was a large black figure faintly in the grass.

A black-faced man came out through the grass and came to the stream, with a rotten cloth towel on his head, wearing a wide-sleeved short coat, tall figure, only a few points shorter than the baozhu, broad shoulders and thick back, square face and square jaw, raised eyebrows, a fierce face, holding a spear, looking at the three of them majestically.

Behind him came a thin short man, with a monkey face and cheeks, and grinned: "I knew that you three thieves must have something to do when you sneak into the mountains." It was here to steal our gold. ”

"Yours?" Li Yuzhun himself is also strong in martial arts, and he doesn't take these bandits and rogues in his eyes, so he gently shakes the folding fan and steps ashore: "Do you have an official certificate?" ”

The leading man smiled: "Lao Tzu said that ours is ours, and I want bullshit proof." ”

As soon as he came up, he didn't recognize the government, and it seemed that the other party was clearly occupying it.

"This is the master, right, what do you call it?" Ah Xiu was still in the stream, and asked with his fists in the middle of the river.

"This little brother also knows some rules, in Xia Ni, this mountain and this water are all in my village, and my brothers can testify." That Ni didn't laugh and didn't laugh.

"In that case, the gold sand in this stream shall be yours." Ah Xiu said lightly and walked ashore.

Bao Zhu's eyebrows became angry, and he was about to speak, when Li Yuzhun waved his hand to stop him.

There was a sigh in the grass, the thieves originally came with the three of them, seeing that Li Yuzhun looked like the son of a noble family, and was ready to tie up for some money.

Unexpectedly, I heard that they found gold in the stream, and they changed their minds for a while, and at this moment they heard with their own ears that there was gold sand in the stream.

Boss Ni's face was also light, he didn't expect it to be so easy, he thought that there were few people on the other side, so he retreated in the face of difficulties, and waved his hand and said, "Brothers, take a look." ”

Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen black shadows behind him rushed into the stream and bent down to pick them up.

Li Yuzhun stood beside Ah Xiu and said softly: "The girl really let them go?" ”

Ah Xiu raised her eyes slightly: "Don't worry, son, what do you think of finding them to be gold mine guards?" ”

Li Yuzhun smiled dumbly: "Bandit? As a guard? Isn't that sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger? ”

"There is greed in the heart, guarding the gold mountain, and the guards have become thieves, and there is a taboo in the heart, and the thief does not dare to accept the gold mountain. Whether it is a thief or a protector, it is only in a thought. ”

Li Yuzhun had an unfathomable feeling in his heart, who is this girl?

It is said that the bandits rushed to and fro in the stream and worked for a long time, but found nothing.

Ah Xiu took a step forward and looked at Ni Lao Dao: "What if this stream is given to you?" Can you find gold? ”

The thieves raised their heads with bare hands, and Boss Ni sneered: "I'll turn this stream upside down, I don't believe I can't find it." ”

"The stream is winding and long, even if your brothers fish here every day, what if you can get a tael of gold a day? Is it enough for so many of you to dress and eat and marry a daughter-in-law? What's more, there are many forks in this mountain stream, and you might as well continue to go back and be a thief if you fish like this. ”

Boss Ni's face turned pale, and he looked at Ah Xiu and said, "Okay, as long as you say, little brother, where is there gold, I will let the three of you live." ”

"Do you think that if you find gold, you will be able to live in peace and joy?" Ah Xiu took another step forward.

Boss Ni snorted lightly: "Of course, what are you worried about when you have money?" ”

"Okay, take a look." Ah Xiu said, pointing to a small branch to the right three feet upstream of the stream, and said to everyone: "There is gold here." ”

The thieves rushed over with all of them, scrambling to the back, the ones behind pulling the clothes in front, and the ones in front kicking to block those behind them, lest they fall behind.

The fast three or two steps jumped into the water, and after a while, someone was so excited that he burst into tears: "Yes, Jin Sha!" I found the golden sand! ”

Someone next to him shouted, "This is what I saw first!" ”

Someone reached out and grabbed it in his palm, "Give me a few!" ”

Someone found it in the nearby water again, and was about to reach out to fish, but was pushed aside by the person next to him, and in the blink of an eye, someone pounced on him, and he was faster than his hands and eyes, and his body was strong.

In an instant, there was a mess in the stream, you pushed me, you snatched me, everyone's eyes were green, their clothes were soaked, and the water splashed.

"See." Ah Xiu looked at Boss Ni, who was pale: "For a few pieces of gold sand, it's like this, there is too much gold, I'm afraid someone will die." The Western Expeditionary Army under the command of Marshal Meng Tiema was nothing more than that. ”

Boss Ni frowned when he heard this, his eyes narrowed into a line, and his eyes swept over like a sharp blade: "What did you say?" ”
