In early summer, the temperature difference between day and night on the Loess Plateau is still very large, and people who are hot during the day can only wear a thin summer coat, and must wrap a thick cotton jacket at night. However, the scenery of the Loess Plateau in early summer is also very eye-catching, clusters of green seedlings break out of the loess that has been sleeping for several months, dotted with stars, lush, yellow and green correspondingly, giving people a kind of thriving and comfortable mood.

Walking in this yellow and green world, my heart is always inexplicably excited, and that simple beauty sprouts in my heart from time to time; A warm breeze blew in his face, warm and slippery, as warm as a mother's warm hand caressing a sleeping child; The blue sky and white clouds overhead are exceptionally clear, white in blue, white in blue, long lazily swimming overhead, as if enjoying the only remaining time in late spring.

We a group of more than a dozen people left Huangling County, hurried to the road has been two days, everything on the road is calm, everyone hopes to arrive at Xi'an Mansion as soon as possible, rest the rest, complete the task of the handover, play the play, scatter the heart, Linlin all kinds, are all working together, reluctant to rush day and night.

After I came down from Qiaoshan, I hurried back to the inn and told Uncle Wu and the beggar everything that had happened, and they were all dumbfounded, thinking that I was talking about strange things, and their faces were full of disbelief.

After speaking, I just laughed and said nothing, there are some things, really only those who have witnessed them can tell the truth of the matter, as for those legends and rumors, there are different opinions, each has its own reason. In fact, there is no need to delve into these, insisting on the purity of the heart is the best interpretation, as for whether everyone believes it or not, it is just a personal will. Calm down, and Uncle Wu discussed the itinerary, it is now very close to Xi'an, so all the way to the south, you will be able to reach Xi'an Mansion safely within five days, and after discussing the route, you will hurriedly embark on the trip......

After two days, according to Uncle Wu, it is now almost to Yaozhou County, which is relatively famous in the northwest boundary, because there is a Yaowang Mountain in Yaozhou County, which is said to be the hermitage of Sun Simiao, the medicine king of the Tang Dynasty. For thousands of years, visitors from all over the world have traveled to this lonely hill to pay homage to the Medicine King. Unfortunately, I am in a hurry now, otherwise I would have gone to pay my respects.

At this time, it was noon, everyone was tired and out of breath for days, listless, and I was also a little hungry, so I told Uncle Wu to let everyone rest in place, make a fire to cook, and be in a hurry when we were full of food and drink.

Uncle Wu was also hungry and thirsty, and readily agreed.

I asked Uncle Wu, "What is the boundary ahead?" ”

Uncle Wu said: "Not far in front is a canyon of two mountains, which is the only way to pass through Yaozhou, called Fengyun Gorge, and it is also a place where bandits are rampant!" ”

Now that everyone is full of food and drink here, and quickly pass through the canyon, Uncle Wu instructed the brothers to find an open place and start cooking on a fire.

I rode alone to the Fengyun Gorge in front of me to explore the road first.

After a while, I came to the mouth of Fengyun Gorge, the mountains on both sides of this Fengyun Gorge are high and steep, and the mountains are scattered with gravel, which is really the only place to rob and loot, the road in the valley is straight, and there is basically no place to hide. If you were to march and fight here, it would be a great battle, and I couldn't help but admire the wonder of nature's creations as I admired the beautiful scenery.

Suddenly, in the distance, I heard a horse galloping from the other side of the canyon, and the horse's steps were messy!

Just in case, I rode my horse and hid behind the bushes to see what was going on.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, from a distance, a big man was lying on horseback and running towards the exit of the canyon. Judging by the situation, it must have been seriously injured, and blood kept dripping from the horse's back.

I just wanted to go out to see what was going on, but when I listened carefully, a dozen horses galloped behind me, probably chasing this big man. This big man lying on his horse fell off his horse at the moment he drove out of the gorge, and fell to the ground motionless, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Now that the pursuers behind me are getting closer and closer, a dying man is lying in front of me, and I am somewhat hesitant in my heart, I don't know whether to save or not?

But after thinking about it, saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, so I jumped up in the air, flashed, grabbed the big man on the ground and jumped to the steep mountain in three or two clicks, picked up a stone and threw it at the big man's horse, the horse was frightened, and ran forward desperately. Only then did I notice that this big man, with long thick eyebrows and big eyes, square face, and a mustache, looked a bit majestic.

I felt the pulse of the big man, it was already very weak, and if I didn't rush to rescue him, I would definitely die.

So, I took off the big man's bloody clothes, and prepared my luck to protect his heart first.

Unexpectedly, a bowl-sized scar on the big man's chest and back is not yet clean, I am shocked to see it, what kind of thing is this that is inserted into the human body from front to back, and it is not dead, it seems that this big man is really blessed with a great life.

I didn't think about it anymore, I used my internal strength in the palm of my hand, and quickly infused the true qi in my body to Dahan, and in a moment Dahan's body moved slightly, I knew that his life was no longer in serious trouble, and he could move freely after only waiting in the county to find a Langzhong to recuperate for a few months.

At this time, dust rose under the canyon, and more than a dozen horses came from a distance. I couldn't help but sink in my heart, could it be that I saved a Jiangyang thief, but the rescue has already been saved, could it be that I am putting him back? The officers and soldiers stopped at the mouth of the gorge and kept looking around, and several people gathered around and kept whispering something.

The leading officer in front kept shouting: "It's strange, can't that guy still fly with wings, continue to chase me!" ”

So, a puff of dust flew, and the group of officers and soldiers disappeared into the col ahead. I saw that the big man was no longer in serious trouble, so I remembered Uncle Wu and them.

Suddenly, I was shocked in my heart, Uncle Wu and they were cooking on the fire in front, if the officials and soldiers couldn't find anyone, they had to say that Uncle Wu and they were secretly hiding Qin criminals, it would not be clear for a while.

So I covered the big man with clothes, flew off the cliff and jumped on the back of the thorn, turned his head and chased after the officers and soldiers. Sure enough, after walking for a while, I saw Uncle Wu and everyone from a distance surrounded by officials and soldiers asking questions.

I hurried over, and the leader of the team looked at the big and small boxes of our convoy, and had to open them for inspection, but Uncle Wu was not allowed to live or die. In this era of war and chaos, officials and bandits are originally a family, if they see so many rare and exotic treasures, these people have crooked thoughts, they really can't leave.

Uncle Wu stopped the officials and soldiers alive and did not let them open the box for inspection.

The leading officer shouted: "Hurry up and get out of the way, and conduct routine official inspections, otherwise they will all be arrested and tortured!" ”

Uncle Wu stood in front of the goods and said: "We are serious businessmen, all kinds of customs clearance documents are readily available, they are all here, you can't search casually!" ”

When the leading officer and soldier heard this, they immediately said angrily: "Are you looking for death? ”

He took out the big knife and slashed at Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu couldn't hide at this time, he couldn't hide it, the knife was about to be cut down after hesitation, how could I let this arrogant and domineering person hurt Uncle Wu, picked a leaf with his hand, threw it over, and instantly split the leading officer's big knife in half.

When the officers saw this, they were so shocked that they stayed where they were for a long time and did not come back to their senses.

At this time, I had come to Uncle Wu's side and said, "As an official soldier, how can you be so careless about people's lives if you eat the emperor's grain and take money?" ”

Only then did the leading officer come back to his senses and look at me and said, "Just ...... Just...... Be...... You? ”

I said coldly, "So what? ”

The officer immediately forgot all about what had just happened, and shouted angrily at me: "Which green onion are you, get out of the way!" ”

As he spoke, he was about to slash at me with a knife, but unfortunately most of the knife was cut off by me just now, and it slashed through the air, and it didn't reach me. He himself almost stumbled off his horse, and everyone present burst into laughter.

The leading officer angrily threw half of the knife on the ground and shouted to the soldiers behind: "Laugh at your mother's smile, bring the knife!" ”

The laughter of the soldiers behind immediately stopped abruptly, and obediently handed a knife, and the leading officer immediately became arrogant when he picked up the knife. I couldn't help but laugh to myself, why do people believe so much in the knife in their hands? Can you do anything with a knife? Is it invincible to the world with a sword? It seems that he is really used to holding knives against unarmed ordinary people on weekdays, but don't forget that the most powerful people in the world are never weapons, but people who use weapons.

The officer saw that I didn't move, and said a little restrained: "Perform official duties, routine inspections, and quickly open the boxes for inspection, otherwise they will all be arrested, and you will be put in prison for a few days to see that you are still so stubborn?" ”

I said coldly: "Performing official duties, routine inspections are okay, do you have official credentials?" ”

The officer muttered for a long time without saying why, and then muttered, "Doesn't you seem to be a fool?" ”

Seeing this kind of bullying scumbag, how could I spare you easily, so I used my internal strength in the palm of my hand, wanting to teach this group of people who eat human flesh and don't spit out bones. Seeing this, Uncle Wu hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed my hand, and signaled with his eyes that it was better for me to have more than one thing and let him deal with it.

For Uncle Wu's sake, I withdrew my internal strength, and Uncle Wu stepped forward and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are serious businessmen, and the customs clearance diploma is here, you can take a look, just here to rest and cook, you rushed over, it is impossible to harbor criminals!" ”

As he spoke, he shoved a bag of silver taels into the hands of the leading officer.

The officer looked at Uncle Wu, weighed the bag and said, "This is still like a little talk, wouldn't it be okay to do this earlier?" ”

So he turned back to the soldier and said, "Go, go back to the city!" ”

A thief-eyed soldier ran to the officer's ear and whispered, "How can the person we are chasing explain to the above?" ”

The officer suddenly said angrily: "You pig brains? Won't you say jumping off a cliff? Committed suicide? ”

Then he said to the soldiers: "Listen up, go back and don't talk nonsense, you are indispensable!" ”

So he turned around with a dozen or so soldiers, and when he walked past me, he said proudly: "Young man, learn more!" ”

The officer deliberately shook the money bag in front of me, and then galloped away.

When Uncle Wu saw that the matter had passed, he ordered everyone to continue cooking.

I went over and said to Uncle Wu, "Why do you give them silver taels? They are all a pack of wolves that eat people and don't spit out bones, and they will never be fed! ”

Uncle Wu said helplessly: "The world is like this, I am helpless, it can be regarded as a kind of wealth and disaster!" ”

I let out a long sigh and shook my head helplessly.

Uncle Wu's approach is understandable, living in this era of war and chaos, the rich and powerful will always be high, and the suffering will always be the poor people. In order to protect themselves, everyone will do many things that trample on the provisions of the law, ignore ethics and morals, and undermine integrity and integrity, and they are often forced to be reluctant, but everyone is like this, and if this goes on like this for a long time, what hope does this country have? When will the people see the blue sky? I really don't dare to look at it directly......

I felt a lot of emotion for a while, and then I remembered the injured man on the cliff, I called the beggar, gave a few words, and the beggar happily went. I told Uncle Wu about the rescue just now, and Uncle Wu suddenly realized that this was the case.

After a while, the beggar came back with the big man on his back, and just as the meal was ready, I asked the beggar to put a bowl of porridge and feed it to the big man, and the big man warmed up a lot after eating, and his condition has improved significantly. We ate hastily, then hid the injured beggar in a box, and hurried to the county seat of Yaozhou County. Fortunately, the county seat is not far from here, and it arrived in an hour. Uncle Wu found a better inn, instructed the left and right, and everyone went their own way. I touched the pulse of the big man again, my life was worry-free, but my body was too weak, I wrote a prescription, and asked the beggar to grab some medicine and give it to the big man to take, and he could wake up in a few days, and then understand the specific situation.

That night, after everyone settled down, they all rested early, I let the beggar guard the big man, and I couldn't sleep left and right in the room, and I was hesitating whether to go out and go out to visit Yaozhou County. The beggar hurried to say that Dahan had woken up, and as soon as I heard this, I hurried to Dahan's residence with the beggar.

I pushed the door in, Dahan had already sat up, resting on the side of the bed, seeing me come in, Dahan hurriedly wanted to come down, but he couldn't move for a while, I hurriedly stopped him and asked him not to move. Dahan thanked me again and again for saving my life, as the saying goes, "great kindness is not thanks", not to mention that this is also my gesture.

At this time, I asked, "What is the name of the hero?" Why was he pursued by the officers and soldiers? ”

The big man sighed and said: "Brother Fool's original life Guo Baoyi, a native of Guojiazhuang in Yaozhou County, used to be a martial artist, accepting some apprentices and teaching people to practice martial arts for a living. In the early years, we came here with a county magistrate, who oppressed the people all the year round, paid heavy taxes, and the people's lives were miserable, and every year was not as good as a year.

In recent years, many people have been unable to open the pot, and have been forced to leave their hometowns and beg for a living in other places. Think about it, if there is a slightly more normal life, who wants to leave their hometown and run away to live that kind of life without a fixed home? And my martial arts hall, often harassed by the county government, today to collect taxes, tomorrow to pay protection money, the day after tomorrow I don't know what name to give you to do this and that, the people's life is already tight, the apprentices have long been out of money to pay tuition, I am also to my own preferences, for everyone to teach some fist and foot kung fu for free.

But that county is a master who eats people and does not spit out bones, and will never give up if he does not squeeze the skin and bones you squeeze, and in the end, there is really no silver taels to pay taxes, so he will take me and our apprentices to the quarry as coolies.

Working in the quarry, not only do you have no money, but you are hungry and full every day, and if you are happy, you will be cold, and if you are unhappy, you will not even have saliva, and everyone will live in misery. Later, I met an old man who was quite knowledgeable in the quarry, and when he saw that I had good skills, but I had no place to use them, he pointed me out a clear way and asked me to follow Liu Sheng and Wu Guang to uncover the uprising.

At first, I was hesitant, after all, there is no turning back from this kind of thing, but then I asked the apprentices for their opinions, and everyone agreed, so I turned my heart on a heavy rainy night and fled the quarry with the group, and began to revolt against the county. ”

Guo Baoyi shed tears as he spoke, and suddenly felt a sense of iron man tenderness hit his heart. Presumably, this kind of road is not easy to walk, and it is a helpless move that he doesn't want to do, just to survive.

I patted Guo Baoyi on the shoulder and said, "Brother Guo don't have to be sad, this kind of official coercion and rebellion against the people, as long as he is an iron-blooded man, he will come forward!" ”

Guo Baoyi wiped his tears, stabilized his emotions and continued: "Indeed, this is indeed a difficult road to take, but if you don't go on like this, you will never have a bright day." At the very beginning, we were vigorously encircled and suppressed by the official army, and more than 20 of us hid in Tibet, lived in the forest, slept on the grassland, and lived a life of outlaw.

Later, when I calmed down and thought about it carefully, the old man said that everyone couldn't go on like this, otherwise it would be a dead end. When everyone heard this, they all looked at the old man, he proposed that everyone rebel at the beginning, but now he wants to retreat, how can this be?

When the old man saw everyone like this, he laughed out loud, saying that he didn't want to escape, but that everyone couldn't live this kind of hiding in Tibet anymore, and everyone understood what the old man meant. The old man wanted everyone to fight back against the official army, one was to correct the name, and the other was to rub the sharpness of the official army, so under the deployment of the old man, he fought several very beautiful victories.

At this time, the common people knew about our prestige and came to take refuge one after another, and the officials and soldiers mentioned us even more about the tiger's color change, and we suddenly had a foothold in a radius of 100 miles. In this way, after a few years, we fought many battles with the officers and soldiers, and each won or lost.

Just in the last few months, our power has become more and more powerful, and the local officials and soldiers have no choice but to take us, so they sent us a letter saying that they are willing to accept us as regular officers and soldiers and pay us full food and salaries every month. As soon as I heard this, I became interested, and I thought about the future of my brothers day and night. However, the military divisions in the battalion strongly objected, because since ancient times, none of the recruits had a good end, and they all died unexpectedly, and these were just delaying the army by the imperial court!

Of course, I also know that the Liangshan heroes of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong, Zheng Zhilong, Zhao'an, etc., of the Ming Dynasty, did end up in a different place, but at this time and then, we are only a little famous in a radius of 100 miles, and it is not worth mentioning compared with those blatant rebellions that move the whole country, or think more about everyone's future.

So, I quietly concealed from the military advisor, accepted the request of the county Cheng, and went to negotiate the conditions. Unexpectedly, I believed too much in the county Cheng's mouth, this matter was a trap set for us from the beginning, our group of more than a dozen people just arrived, they were arrested, and later on the way to escort, our brothers took advantage of the official army to eat, quietly escaped, but the official army immediately found out, it didn't take long for us to be caught up, and finally because we were outnumbered, those brothers killed a blood path for me to let me escape alone, and they never got up. ”

Speaking of which, Guo Baoyi choked again, I comforted him, this Guo Baoyi was also confused for a while, as he said, after so many years, he still can't see through the county's personality, and he still believes his deceptive nonsense, it really shouldn't be, he lost the lives of more than a dozen of his brothers in vain, it's really sad and lamentable!

Guo Baoyi relieved himself and said: "That day, I fought fiercely with the official army several times, and finally fled to that canyon because of my physical collapse and inability to support it, and I don't know anything about what happened later. ”

I told him in detail about the process of saving him, and this Guo Bao thanked me again and again, it seems that he is really an acute person!

I suddenly remembered the big scar on his body, and asked with some curiosity, "Brother Guo, what's the big scar on his body?" ”
