Chapter 90: Speculation
Seeing that they were about to come to the bottom of the mountain, Xiao Ding and the others suddenly heard the sound of fighting in the forest clearing.
Everyone looked at each other and quickened their pace.
When they came to the edge of the clearing, they saw two people fighting in the clearing.
One of them was a Humpty Dumpty man, who used a short-handled iron pot and lid as a weapon.
Don't look at him short and fat, but his movements are very flexible. The iron pot in his hand is made of some material, and it is a good defensive weapon. It's like a shield that can block all the opponent's attacks. The iron lid he dances in his other hand also has a short handle, and the edge of the lid is very sharp, allowing him to take time to attack while defending.
The man who fought with him was a middle-aged man with a big beard, a burly figure, wielding a jujube stick in his hand, and the ping-pong smashed on the iron pot from time to time, but he couldn't hit Humpty Dumpty at all.
Not far from the two fighting, there was a group of people, one of whom was a middle-aged beauty, shouting loudly, "Stop fighting, don't fight...... her face.
Next to the middle-aged beauty, there are two and a half children.
When Xiao Ding looked at these people, he knew them all.
The Humpty Dumpty who uses the iron pot as a weapon is Fan Sanpang, who has not been seen for many days; The bearded man who fought with him was the second master of Feiyun Village, Sun Dasheng. The middle-aged beauty who was fighting on the side was Luo Dafeng, who was a flower in Shu, and the two and a half children beside her were naturally the young masters of the Imperial Sword Villa, Ou Muyun and Ou Mulin, brothers and sisters.
Among the other onlookers, there were five or six people dressed in tatters, Xiao Ding also felt familiar at a glance, they were those bandits from Feiyun Village.
Why did Fan Sanpang and Sun Loud fight?
Xiao Ding hurriedly stopped the two with questions: "Fan Sanfat, Sun Dasheng, stop it!" Don't hit! ”
Xiao Ding's voice was loud, and both of them were familiar with Xiao Ding's voice, and after hearing Xiao Ding's shout, they both stopped and turned their heads to look at Xiao Ding.
"Huh? Brother Xiaoding, you're not dead? How did you come out alive? Fan San asked cheaply.
"Brother Xiaoding, you're back too, come and help me......" Sun shouted loudly.
Xiao Ding looked at this, looked at that, retracted his gaze on the two of them, and asked, "Why did you fight?" ”
At this time, the middle-aged beautiful woman Luo Dafeng also stepped forward with her two children, and said, "It's not because of that iron rod ......" As she spoke, she pointed to the iron rod next to a large package on the other side, which was the iron rod that Xiao Ding lost when he entered the mountain.
"Brother Xiaoding, when this bearded man saw the iron rod, he wanted to snatch it if he didn't say that the iron rod was his. I knew that the iron rod was yours, so I didn't give it to him, so I started fighting......" Fan Sanpang said and glared at Sun loudly.
"This iron rod was originally mine, Brother Xiaoding used it, I have nothing to say, but you want it but you can't......" Sun Dasheng also thought that he was very reasonable.
It turned out that after being chased by a bear that night, Fan Sanpang and Xiao Ding were separated, and returned to the boulder where they were resting in a daze, and he found this iron rod near the boulder, he knew that it had been used by Xiao Ding again, so he took it with him, ready to return it to him when he met Xiao Ding.
However, after Fan Sanpang waited at the boulder for a day and a night, he did not see Xiao Ding and Mu's uncle and nephew. He didn't have the courage to go into the mountain alone, so he chose to go down.
Sun Dasheng and Luo Dafeng took the Ou brothers and sisters to listen to Xiao Ding's instructions and walked down Luoxia Mountain. Because Omulin was recovering from a leg injury, they walked slowly. On the way, they met the group of bandits from Feiyun Village.
These bandits are in tatters, and they are so poor that even those bandits who like to kill people and rob goods and property dislike them and are too lazy to rob them. At this time, Shi Jian, the lord of Dazhai, did not know where to go, and Sun Dasheng, the master of the second village, did not return.
But Sun Dasheng made it clear to them that he would not be a thief in the future, nor would he be their second master.
As soon as those bandits heard this, six people immediately said on the spot that they would not be bandits in the future, and they would follow Sun loudly. And there are seven or eight other people who have no words, they have a good relationship with Shi Jianduan, they are the elders of the cottage, and they were all gangsters who mixed the rivers and lakes with Shi Jianduan at the beginning.
Sun Dasheng and Luo Dafeng took these thieves all the way to stop and stop, and they only came here today, and they happened to meet Fan Sanfatg. When Sun Dasheng saw the iron rod that Fan Sanpang was carrying, he wanted to come over and ask for it, but he didn't agree and started fighting. Luo Dafeng knew that the two of them knew Xiao Ding and couldn't help each other, so he spoke out to persuade him. But the two are fighting happily, where can they listen.
"I said Fan Sanfat, why did you come here for so many days?" Xiao Ding asked curiously.
"I've actually gone down the mountain a long time ago, but I've been waiting for you at the foot of the mountain, and I've made a small fortune in the past few days...... Fan Sanpang said with a grin.
"This iron rod was originally Sun Dasheng's, and I made a bet with him before that as long as he came down the mountain alive, I would return the iron rod to him. Look at ......," Xiao Ding said as he looked at Fan Sanpang.
Fan Sanpang turned around and bent down to pick up the iron rod and handed it to Xiao Ding, and said: "Brother Xiao Ding, I am only responsible for handing over this iron rod to you, it is yours, in your hands, you can dispose of it as you want, I have no right to interfere." ”
"Okay, then thank you Brother Fan!" Xiao Ding clenched his fists and thanked him.
Then Xiao Ding came to Sun Dasheng with an iron rod and said: "Brother Sun has now gone down the mountain safely, I lost our bet, and I will return this iron rod to you!" With that, he handed the iron rod to Sun Dasheng's hand.
"This, this ......" Sun Dasheng was originally an upright man, Xiao Ding returned him with an iron rod, but he didn't know what to say.
At this time, the Ou brothers and sisters also ran to Xiao Ding and shouted, "Brother Xiao Ding, Brother Xiao Ding!" ”
Xiao Ding hurriedly turned around, lowered his head and asked with a smile, "Are you okay these days?" Is Mu Lin's leg injury healed? ”
"Brother Xiao Ding, my leg injury is all healed, thank you very much!" Ou Mulin raised her little face and looked at Xiao Ding and said.
"Brother Xiaoding, I'm glad I met you, otherwise my sister would be in danger!" Ou Muyun also thanked on the side.
"Okay, okay, we'll be a family from now on, don't thank you all day." Xiao Ding patted the Ou brothers and sisters on the shoulder and said.
The contradiction between Fan Sanpang and Sun Dasheng has been resolved, everyone joined forces, and Xiao Ding introduced everyone to each other one by one. Everyone happily prepared to descend the mountain.
At this time, Fan Sanpang stopped Xiao Ding and said, "Brother Xiao Ding, wait a minute, I have prepared a big gift for you." After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Ding to ask, he turned around and went into the woods.
After a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in the mountains and forests, and then I saw Fan Sanpang driving fifty or sixty horses out of the woods......
It turned out that he had not been idle these days when he went down the mountain. When he saw that many people were coming on horseback, they could not ride up the hill, so he left all their horses on the hillside.
Among them, many people have never been heard from since they entered the mountain.
The horses were scattered and were better off to find their own grass and gnaw greens; Many of them were chained to trees, and after a long time the horses were so hungry and thirsty that they were about to die of thirst and starvation.
Fan Sanpang knew that the owners of these horses had many pockets and had been buried in Luoxia Mountain. When he was idle, he gathered together a hundred horses in the neighborhood and looked after them.
If a man who has come down the mountain can recognize his horse, he will return it; If someone doesn't have a horse and wants to buy one, he sells it for a small profit.
And so, to this day, there are still fifty or sixty horses in his herd.
When everyone saw it, they laughed, and they all praised Fan Sanpang's good ability to speculate!
Everyone chose a horse to ride on, and happily galloped towards the bottom of Luoxia Mountain......
This is exactly what it is:
scramble to break into the mountain, and how many people can return when they enter the mountain;
Killing people and looting treasures are sacred objects, and who will see them;
In vain, he died unjustly, and he died unjustly for a moment;
If the world knows the depth, why should the depth be filled!
