The weather in the south becomes unbearably hot as soon as the rainy season passes. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info On this day, the hot sun shines on the foothills of Longjiao Mountain, and the loess road reflects the white and bright sunlight at noon, mixed with the gray soil that is raised from time to time, and smokes so that people's eyes can't open. A team of more than 30 coolies, each pulling a cart of charcoal, was slowly walking towards the ironworks in the mountain pass. The car was heavy, and the coolies were strangled with deep red marks by ropes, and sweat kept dripping onto the ground. The overseer carried the whip and yawned and wiped the sweat. Qiu Yinming was in this team of coolies at this time, pulling the car and looking around.

It was his third day in the iron ore. When he arrived at the foot of Longjiao Mountain that day, he changed into the ragged clothes he had prepared, sneaked into a construction site, pretended to be a lost wanderer from other places, and begged the little boss of the overseer to get a job. The little leader was pleased to see that he was strong, and went into the mine without difficulty.

Longjiao Mountain is not high, it is a hilly area, since ancient times, there are countless mines on the mountain, now there are several iron smelting furnaces in each col, the black smoke is filled during the day, but the fire shines on the sky at night. Each iron-smelting furnace had three or four overseers, dozens of people working in shifts day and night. There were also thugs who patrolled back and forth between the mines, and when they saw someone moving slower, they would whip them. Most of the coolies are young and middle-aged, but there are also old and young, probably farmers who have no land nearby and no one at home. Qiu Yin heard early tomorrow that there were not only local farmers working here, but also many fugitives from other places, many of whom were vicious. Sure enough, at dinner on the first day, a few big men who lived in the same shack wanted to give him a little bit of power, but he beat him up. At that time, a big man cried and said that he was doing a job that was not as good as a cow or a horse here, eating a meal like a pig and a dog, and if he didn't grab a head and eat a few more bites, he would die of exhaustion sooner or later. was cried by him like this, Qiu Yinming had nothing to say, he just hoped that he could see the mine owner soon and ask for clarification.

On the first night, Qiu Yinming groped around the cols and found that there were several neat houses in one of the cols. sneaked in quietly, and heard the thug on duty at night saying that the boss Ding Tong would probably come back to inspect in the next two days. So he waited patiently in the mine.

At this time, more than a dozen truckloads of charcoal were transported to the mine furnace, and Qiu Yinming was unloading the goods with the rest of the coolies. Last night, I heard that the mine owner was coming today, so the overseer kept an eye on it very closely. The mine is so big, I don't know when Ding Tong will be able to patrol here.

Just as he was thinking, there was the footsteps of a group of people behind him, he turned his face slightly sideways, and saw two people walking in front, the older one seemed to be Ding Tong, who looked very burly. The tall man next to him should be the second of the four tigers. Qiu Yinming took the opportunity to carry the charcoal and walked as close to them as possible, trying to listen to the two of them.

The second said: "Big brother, what is the purpose of the chief helmsman urgently recruiting you this time?" Isn't it too early, is it going to be delivered so soon this year? ”

Ding Channel: "No. Something happened to the helmsman. The second boss asked us to put aside all the things at hand, and take all the people to Jingzhou to listen to the order at any time. ”

The second child said again: "Is there someone who wants to deal with our Qingliu Society?" ”

Ding Channel: "It seems to be." ”

“……”

Qiu Yinming thought to himself: Could it be that the Xihai Alliance can't talk to them and do it? I don't know what happened in Jingzhou.

At this time, I heard the second brother say: "The third brother and the fourth brother said that they will come over in the evening." ”

"Good. Send them and tell them to bring some good wine and meat. ”

The summer days are very long, and it is difficult to wait until it gets dark. Qiu Yinming slipped out quietly and took a path among the trees to the col where the Four Tigers of Jiangzhou lived. He was just about to run up the hillside by the col, but he felt the footsteps of someone not far behind him, so he quickly lowered his body, hid behind a rock, and listened carefully.

After a while, more than a dozen crickets came from the grass, and when they came to the stone where Qiu Yinming was hiding, they stopped. Qiu Yinming was very curious and listened attentively. I only heard one of them say, "We seem to have come too early." Another said, "Wait, the others will be here in a moment." Another person said: "Lao Zhang, you say, will the owner of Chen Zhai not come?" Lao Zhang said: "Don't talk nonsense. Who is the owner of Chen Zhai, he said that he will definitely come. It's still early, stop talking, everyone squat down and hide the knife. ”

Qiu Yinming was surprised in his heart, it was this Chen Zhai master again. It seems that these people are all coolies in the mines, what the hell are they waiting for? Fang just said that the knife was hidden, could it be that the owner of Chen Zhai of the Flying Tiger Village made an appointment with some coolies, and came over today to oppose the mine owner together? Why don't you just hide here and see what they're going to do. But after thinking about it, let's go and see what the four tigers of Jiangzhou are talking about first. In case the people from Feihu Village come after a while, they will fight and fight, and they will not be able to detect anything. So he used his light skills and hurried up the slope.

When I went down the hill, I saw that the lights in the main house were bright, the windows were wide open, and the four tigers were pushing the cups and changing the lights. The weather is hot, and the mountains are much cooler, which is indeed a good place to escape the heat. Qiu Yinming avoided the thugs who patrolled the night, touched the back of the house, and hid under the window, and heard the conversation of the four people in the house clearly.

only listened to Ding Daodao: "I think, this time we will meet an opponent in Qingliu." The second boss must have been seriously injured, he walked with a limp, and he was thick-skinned, embarrassed to admit it. ”

The third Huang said: "Who doesn't know, our second master's martial arts is just like that." The martial arts of the three masters are much better than him. ”

Ding Channel: "The three masters are also injured. The wound is even worse, and now I am lying down to recuperate. ”

The fourth said: "What about the big boss?" ”

Ding Channel: "The big boss is fine. There are three stalls in front. And those two people saved people and left, not staying long. ”

The fourth asked again: "What is the origin of the opponent?" West...... West what? ”

The second said: "You are stupid, didn't you say it just now." Western Sea Alliance. ”

As expected. Qiu Yinming was also surprised, I don't know who from the Xihai Alliance was caught, and who went to save people?

Ding Channel: "Speaking of which, I'll tell you. I didn't see it, I heard it. There were two people from the Xihai League, and they almost dismantled the rudder, and one of them was still a woman. ”

Qiu Yin knew that what he said was Heng Yuhuan, and his heart was confused, and he didn't hear the next few words.

Then I heard Huang Li say, "That's right, big brother, a few days ago, you and your second brother were not in the village, and a guy came to the door to make trouble, do you say it's the Xihai League?" ”

The fourth child also said: "That's right." That man's martial arts skills are excellent. Definitely. You say, over the years, who dares to come to the Qingliu Society. Hey, have any of you heard of the Xihai Alliance before? ”

"No, never."

Qiu Yinming listened to these words, and made plans in his heart, it seems that there is nothing to inquire about here, and after returning to Wuchang, he is ready to leave for Jingzhou Mansion.

He was thinking about whether to rush in and kill the four tigers, but there were four of them, and there were many thugs outside, so it might not be easy to do it with bare hands. When I was moving from time to time, I suddenly heard the night patrol in front of the house shouting, "Someone has come in!" ”

The four people in the room were shocked, and immediately used their weapons and rushed out of the door. Qiu Yinming also walked out from the back of the house, standing in the shadow of the tree and looking out. Boy! At this moment, sixty or seventy men, armed with swords and clubs, rushed towards the house. Looking at the front, the man in black who was in his thirties, with a small figure and a wide forehead, holding an iron rod in his hand. He was followed by more than twenty strong men in black. Behind them were a group of miners hiding in the grass, wielding weapons of different shapes.

Qiu Yinming guessed that the leader must be the owner of Chen Zhai of Flying Tiger Village. It turned out that the master of Chen Zhai also came to deal with the four tigers, and so many coolies also risked their lives to resist together, which was really the same way. Why not give them a hand.

At this time, some thugs at the mouth of the mountain pass were caught off guard by the surprise attack of the people of the Flying Tiger Village who rushed in front, and the coolies saw this, and they were strong, holding their weapons high and following them straight forward.

Seeing this, the boss Ding Tong was so anxious that he shouted: "What a panic!" It's all coolies, you got me the knife! Kill me! ”

The thugs around the house came to their senses, and they were facing the people of Flying Tiger Village.

Ding Tong pulled out a wide-backed single knife, pointed at Chen Zhai and said, "Who are you!" Dare to come to my mine to gather people to make trouble! ”

The master of Chen Zhai said loudly: "I am Chen Baisheng, the master of Flying Tiger Village!" You have robbed the land, persecuted the people, and killed people time and again. I'm here today to do justice for heaven and these people! Suffer death. With that, the stick was straightened and went straight to the throat of the mine owner.

Suddenly, everyone on both sides hugged each other. The mountain roads are narrow and chaotic. Qiu Yinming flew into the crowd, grabbed a thug's knife, and cut down several people. Looking up, Chen Baisheng forced Ding Tong onto the roof, the iron rod made the tiger and the tiger angry, and Ding Tong was busy parrying, as if he was not an opponent. So he turned around and continued to look for the other three tigers. At this time, other people from Feihu Village grabbed torches, threw them over, and set the house on fire. Dozens of coolies were killed and wounded, but everyone was desperate when the fight began. The voices of the people are boiling, and the blades are mixed.

Qiu Yinming dealt with the oncoming thugs while looking for the shadow of the Three Tigers. Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of Huang Li, who was making a double hook, not far away, who was fighting against a man in Flying Tiger Village, who seemed to be gradually defeated. Qiu Yinming hurriedly stepped forward, pushed the man away, grabbed the double hook with a knife, and said to the man: "Give me this." With that, he flipped his wrist and shook the double hook back. Huang Li took two steps back, raised his eyes and saw that it was the person who caught him at the gate of Longquanzhuang that day, he was so shocked that he wanted to escape, but it was too late. Qiu Yinming pressed forward, and after a few moves, he was killed with a knife.

Looking around again, I saw that not far away, Chen Baisheng had already beaten the boss Ding Tong on the head with a stick. Seeing this, the other two tigers immediately panicked. Lao Siyi was not careful, he was beaten by the people of Feihu Village, fell down, and immediately several miners surrounded him, and he was beaten with fists, feet and swords, and it seemed that he would not survive. The second child was so frightened that he turned his head and fled lifelessly behind the col. Qiu Yinming could see it clearly on the side, but there were no three of the four tigers, so forget the remaining one.

At this time, Chen Baisheng threw the iron rod to the ground and shouted to everyone: "Stop it!" If you know how to put down your weapons, you will not die! ”

When the thugs saw that the leader was gone, they dropped their swords and fled for their lives.

At this time, one of the remaining coolies said: "Master Chen, we are willing to go up the mountain with you and accept us." ”

"Yes, take us!" There are quite a few people who agree.

Chen Baisheng's face was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and said, "Okay then." Let's burn this place, and whoever wants to come with me will come. ”

Qiu Yinming was about to leave, but he saw Chen Baisheng walking towards him, so he had no choice but to step forward and arch his hand at him. Chen Baisheng said: "This brother is not from the mine. Dare to ask your surname? Who are the heroes? ”

Qiu Yinming guessed that Chen Baisheng must have seen his skills, so he said: "In Xiaqiu Yinming, passing by here, I saw that the mine owner was harming one party, so I also wanted to come to eliminate harm for the people, but I didn't expect to meet Chen Zhai's master, what a coincidence." Fortunately. ”

Chen Baisheng said with a smile: "Brother Qiu's martial arts are strong, Chen admires them." If it's convenient, you might as well go with me to the cottage for a glass of water and wine. ”

Qiu Yinming said: "The owner of the village is kind, and Qiu understands it." There is indeed something to do, and we can't delay it, and I will definitely visit him when I have the opportunity in the future. ”

Chen Baisheng nodded and said, "That's good." There will be a period later. ”
