While everyone was talking and laughing, Fang Lei suddenly found that not far in front of him, there were three thieves lying in the grass, looking sneakily over here.

He carried a light skill, flashed behind them, and shouted, "Thief! Is it trying to beat our minds? ”

The three thieves were startled, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life, the three of us only escaped from your knife in the evening, and we are still in shock, what bad ideas do you dare to fight there?" ”

"And what are you doing here?" Fang Lei asked.

One of the dwarves said: "We are from the same village as the thief boss, and there is an insect plague at home, and the locusts flying in the sky have eaten all the crops in the field, and we see that this year there will be no harvest, and the whole family will starve to death, and we are forced to be cornered, so we follow the thief boss out to rob." I don't know that we were killed by you, and the three of us didn't even have the entanglement to go home, so I wanted to go back with your team, but when I saw today's fight, I was already frightened, but I didn't dare to step forward! ”

"When your hometown suffers from a disaster, won't you come out and find a job? Why do you have to rob? What are the things that hurt nature? Fang Lei asked.

The dwarf said, "I think so too, but the big thief says that the robbery of money comes quickly, and they can scare people by grabbing the big knife casually, and they will send the money over by themselves without using their hands. If we knew that it was such a killing poke, a careless disregard for human life, and a life of licking blood with a knife, we would rather starve to death than follow the thief! ”

"Are you telling the truth?"

The deputy lord drew his sword and placed it around the neck of one of them.

The dwarf said: "The three of us swore a poisonous oath, if there is half a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky, and the whole family will not die!" ”

"Good! I will believe you for the time being, as the saying goes, put down the butcher's knife, become a Buddha on the ground, the prodigal son will not change his money, I hope you will do it yourself in the future, my son will let you stay here for one night, and tomorrow I will send some plates to the three of you, and go back to marry your family, but you must not regenerate evil intentions, cause trouble, and then be found by us, a knife down, but it is too late to regret! ”

"Then you promised me that the three of us would live with you?" The dwarf asked tremblingly.

"Good! The three of you are with us! Fang Lei said.

When the three of them heard this, they all arched their hands and said, "Thank you Daxia for letting us live together regardless of our previous suspicions!" ”

Fang Lei took them to the carriage, took out the pancakes, gave two to each person, and scooped three bowls of water to quench their thirst.

The three men, who had not eaten for a day, were hungry and thirsty, took the food and water, and devoured it.

"Where are you?" The deputy owner asked.

The dwarf said: "We are from Jiaqing Prefecture, the political secretary of the Central and Northern Provinces, the owner of the village is surnamed Zhao, but our surname is Guo, and we have the same surname as the thief!" ”

"Is the thief a man who grew up in a den of thieves? Seeing him so violent and wanton today, it doesn't look like a person from a good family! Fang Lei asked.

The dwarf told how the thief boss changed from an honest cattle herder to a ruthless thief who killed countless people:

The thief's family name is Guo, a single name is a tiger character, his father is a long-term worker in the Zhaozhuang owner's family, his mother died early, and when he was seven or eight years old, he followed his father in the owner's house and became a cattle herding baby.

The owner of the village married the third wife, the eldest wife and the second wife had no children, only the third wife gave birth to a daughter, four years younger than Guo Hu, called trillion thousand gold.

As children, the two often played together and became good friends.

When Guo Hu went up the mountain to herd cattle, he often picked some wild fruits for her to taste, picked some mountain flowers for her to put on her head to dress up the bride, the two had a very good relationship, Guo Hu even thought that trillions of gold would be his bride in the future, and she would not marry.

Eleven or twelve-year-old trillion daughters, they don't know what the love between men and women is, they only know that they are fun with Guo Hu, and they steal good food from home for him.

The two often play the game of "playing house", one pretends to be the groom, the other pretends to be the bride, folds two bamboo branches as candles, uses a handkerchief as a head cover, and also learns to worship the church to get married, one worships heaven and earth, the other worships the high hall, the husband and wife worship each other, and lead into the cave room.

There is no sedan chair, no sedan chair driver, Guo Hu carried this daughter on his back, and laughed non-stop with a circle on the ground.

At that time, the third wife saw that the two were not very old, and they couldn't play any tricks, so they only thought about the children and played, so they didn't pay attention to them.

After his father was old, he worked for his father in the owner's house, but at this time Zhao Qianjin was already a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and the two rarely met.

Yes, in that era when the right people were right, one was a long-term worker, and the other was a daughter, was it possible to marry him? Isn't Guo Hu a toad who wants to eat swan meat?

But he doesn't think so, a flute head is green, and he doesn't know how thick the sky is, and he doesn't know how many catties and taels he has, and he doesn't want to think about his own house with four walls, and he doesn't even have a decent wooden bed, how dare he marry a wife and have children? And she is one of the richest girls in the area?

He has only one idea: that is, trillions of gold have played with him since he was a child, he must marry him, be his wife, give birth to a boy for him, and inherit the family for him, his idea is so simple.

He knew that trillions of gold were becoming more and more cold to him, hiding in the room all day long to learn embroidery, and she was going to find a rich son who was the right person to be her husband.

Sure enough, at the age of eighteen, at the behest of her parents, she made a marriage contract with a son surnamed Zeng in a neighboring village, and sent a bride price, agreeing that three months later, she would choose an auspicious day for the zodiac and marry in the church.

Zeng Gongzi is well-read, looks like a gentleman, has fair skin, Yushu is in the wind, and is talented, after becoming a family, he will go to Beijing next year to take the exam, what about the high school champion?

But seeing this Guo Hu, who looks black and solid, five big and three thick, can't recognize a few big characters, helps his family plow the fields and farms all day long, works at sunrise, rests at sunset, faces to the loess and backs to the sky, can there be a future?

One evening, he approached her while trillions of gold were enjoying the shade by the lotus pond and asked, "Qianjin, I heard that the owner of the village has promised you to the son of Zeng Yuanwai, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Qianjin smiled slightly and replied: "Since ancient times, the marriage of children has been decided by their parents!" ”

"Selling cattle across the mountain, do you know what that man looks like?" Guo Hu asked.

Trillion Qianjin said jokingly: "He is a scholar and has a solid family, so he is better than you, a poor boy who can't read big words and has a poor family!" ”

When Guo Hu heard this, his face turned pale, his heart was sad and angry, and he said: "I thought you were different from other women, it turns out that you are also a person who likes the poor and loves the rich, and is greedy for vanity!" ”

Just because of a sentence of trillions of gold, he ruined the wealth and glory of his life, and even the life of his family.

How did this end?
