Two years passed in a blink of an eye, in the first year of Yongxi of the Great Song Dynasty, outside Santing County, Guizhou Prefecture in southern Xinjiang, there was a low mountain full of bamboo, and an inn was opened next to the post road under the mountain.

There was only one owner in the inn, and no one else.

There are three rooms in the inn, heaven and earth, and it sells some simple meals and wine.

The post road was almost deserted, and no one passed by, so someone asked the boss why he didn't go to a more lively place to do business...... The young boss smiled and said he was waiting for someone.

The owner was thin and pale, and his eyes were bright. When there are no guests, I sit on the stone at the door and drink a few sips of wine, and look at the distance of the post road at the foot of the mountain. In the mountains, a few days ago, a few people broke down and fell into the grass to become mountain bandits. It is said that it is a mountain bandit, but in fact, it is some men who have nowhere to stay, struggling to survive in order to stutter and eat......

The mountain bandits did not dare to enter the village, and the people in the nearby villages all had the same surname and the same heart. When they enter, they will be beaten to death, and then the corpses will be sent to the government in exchange for a few rewards...... The hungry and dizzy-eyed mountain bandits stared at this deserted inn, not for anything else...... Here、There will definitely be a bite to eat。

A few mountain bandits squatted in the ditch for three days, but they didn't see any guests, except for the young boss who sat on the stone at the door every day, occasionally taking a sip of the bottle...... Then he stared blankly at the distance of the post road.

The four mountain bandits who were about to faint from hunger couldn't bear it, and when it was past noon, they came to the inn. One let go, three robbed.

The boss sat quietly at the counter, looking at the three bandits blocking the door. The jackets were tattered, and the three men had only three shoes. There was a young man who was barefoot, another man with a black face who had only one shoe, and three of them were holding two wooden sticks and a stone in their hands......

"Robbery...... You eat, you bastard, and ...... And the money to hand over! Tooth...... Half a word is not a word for a broken tooth! Only...... I'll take you and sacrifice to the mountain god grandpa! The only man wearing shoes said with a sneer.

The boss looked at him, his shoes grinning at his swarthy toes and dirty long nails......

When the man saw the boss staring at his toes, he suddenly subconsciously became ashamed and shrunk his toes...... Then the man suddenly realized that he was now a mountain bandit!

The boss yawned...... He looked at them expressionlessly, "What do you want to eat?"

"What? ......"The three yellow-faced and thin-skinned men were a little stunned!

"I said you ...... Craving something? ”

"Brother Yun! He's going to get food, we're going to have food! "There is not a single shoe, and the youngest descendant suddenly rejoices." Oh! Good! Can you give some dry food? Brother Yun, who was in the lead, asked as a child.

"Yes! Wait...... the boss slowly walked to the back room behind the counter. Leaving the three mountain bandits looking at each other.

"Brother Yun, aren't we here to be mountain bandits to rob things? What does this look like...... Like you're here to beg for food?" The black man with one shoe left muttered. "Just have something to eat! What kind of do you have? It's better than being a thief and losing your shoes! Brother Yun also felt that what he just said seemed to have lost face, and he was a little embarrassed.

Three hungry men stood stiffly in front of the counter, and their six hands seemed to be awkward to put them. In the middle of the night、、、 Ai Ai whispered, "Either 、、、 or let's 、、、 take something and go?" When you go to the town, you may be able to exchange some copper plates, and you can also buy food! Maybe you can get two pairs of shoes? Brother Yun, who was the leader, looked at the humble shop and the empty counters...... Shook his head: "The boss promised to give us dry food, wait a minute!"

One shoe seemed a little unwilling, and rubbed the dirt under the barefoot sole on the surface of the only remaining shoe: "This bird shop also looks half-dead, where can the boss be generous?" I don't know ......" and "Gollum" swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison, and their six eyes stared at the boss who walked out slowly...... To be exact, the bamboo basket in the boss's hand.

The bamboo basket is half-new, and it contains a dozen or so large yellowed pancakes, which look like they have just been heated in a cage drawer, and are still slightly steaming! The aroma of wheat stretched out like a cat's paws, and the hearts and livers of the three hungry men who scratched it trembled! "Gollum ......" The three mountain bandits roared like thunder in their bellies, declaring their emptiness and grievances as if they were cheering!

One shoe pounced, grabbed the basket with one hand, grabbed a cookcake with the other, and stuffed it into his mouth. My eyes were choking...... "Let it go...... Hands, you ...... Uh-uh" One shoe stuffed a cooking cake into his mouth while snatching the bamboo basket from the boss's hand, but he didn't take it......

The boss looked at a shoe with a blank face: "Say thank you......"

"You ......" One shoe was a little stunned, and looked back at his leading brother, the leading man swallowed his saliva and looked at the strange boss in surprise.

The boss still looked sickly, with no servant head in a hairpin bun, two bright eyes, and a coarse cloth gown. A thin belt was casually tied around his waist...... The leading man asked suspiciously, "You...... What does this mean? ”

The boss pursed the corners of his mouth and glanced at the leading man: "Say thank you......"

"Thanks... Thank you, boss, for rewarding ......," the leading man, Brother Yun, suddenly replied as if he was afraid of the young boss's eyes. A shoe next to the boss suddenly became angry: "Thank you grandma for her legs...... Cheer up grandpa, you! As he spoke, he grabbed the bamboo basket with both hands, lifted the dirty black foot without shoes, and kicked it into the boss's leg......

A look of disgust appeared on the boss's white face, and he didn't see any movement, and the bamboo basket he held in his left hand flipped over! It seemed to be about to dump those yellowish and fragrant pancakes on the ground......

"Don't......" The leader and the barefoot queen shouted in unison, fearing that the boss would spoil these grains, which were more expensive than gold......

"Ahh My hand...... Ahhh............h As soon as the barefoot Housheng heard this miserable howl, he immediately trembled, holding his head with his hands and trembling on the ground, and the leading man was also trembling, but he still protected the body of the latter life, looking at the young boss and a shoe in horror!

The bamboo basket was grabbed by the boss and flipped in the air! After more than a dozen large cooking cakes flew up, they still landed firmly in the bamboo basket...... The aroma of wheat in the air seems to be stronger...... A terrifying scene has appeared! A shoe fell to its knees in front of the young boss at this time...... His left hand held his right arm and trembled and howled, and that arm was now strangely twisted...... It's like an old hemp rope tied to cattle in the countryside! Purple-black skin was exposed from the tattered sleeve of a shoe, and the bones were clearly broken into several pieces...... The right arm of a shoe was scrapped!!

The boss still held the bamboo basket steadily, looked at a shoe lightly and said, "You have a dead air contaminated with cause and effect...... You've killed people...... and the smell of lewdness...... You've raped and killed a young girl, haven't you? ”

"What? Old Black ...... Did the old black kill someone?" The leading man was so weak that he almost knelt on the ground! The afterlife shrunk to the ground and trembled even more...... The boss shook his hand and threw the basket full of cooking cakes on the table: "Eat! Finished eating...... Take him to the county office, the county's head catcher Fang Zhiliang is a benevolent and righteous person, and he won't embarrass you too much. Will you return to your hometown in the future, or will you join the army...... It's up to you! ”

Brother Yun, who was the leader, desperately suppressed his trembling hands and feet, gritted his teeth and arched his hand and said: "The little ones don't have long eyes, and they don't see that the boss is a master of the world!" How offensive...... But, but old black ......"

The boss frowned, turned around lightly and walked to the back of the counter, picked up the wine jug, raised his head and took a sip of wine, looked out the window and said softly: "There are recent prisoners at the gate of the county town There are recent criminal sea fishing documents and drawings, I see that you are a literate person, just go and see for yourself!" ”

"Grandpa! Grandpa spares his life! I was wronged...... The old master's daughter and I are in love, but the old master doesn't agree with the two of us! originally made an appointment to elope together, but who knew that the little lady of the Wang family had fallen into the water!! The poor old master sued the official in a fit of rage, and I was forced to escape. Grandpa sees and spares the little one! Ah...... It hurts me to death......"

The old black was trembling in pain, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing his head while crying, and his miserable appearance and the crippled right arm looked at the door trembling Brother Yun and his bare feet.

Brother Yun gritted his teeth: "This master! It's been a few years since the world was peaceful, and we all know that people in troubled times are not as good as dogs! It's really helpless to fall into the grass...... This old black ......"

The boss smiled lightly...... Outside the door, there was a sudden sound of a heavy object falling to the ground! Thump! "Oops......"

"Little Mountain!" Brother Yun was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around to look out the door, the half-grown child named Xiao Shanzi could hide on the edge of the bamboo forest next to the post road and give them three sentry! The two of them just wanted to run out, only to see a tall figure suddenly blocked the door of the inn, which was not very spacious, and a heavy waist knife with a scabbard was horizontal in front of Brother Yun and the others...... After a sudden plop and barefoot, he could no longer bear the fright, and fell to his knees softly. Brother Yun bit his lip and looked at the black strong man in front of him in official clothes, sighed and knelt down straight!

The boss sighed softly, and through the open window, he saw two other little catchers holding the bundle of half-grown children like rice dumplings from the other side of the inn and surrounding them.

"What a guts! I dared to go down the mountain to rob the inn, if it weren't for the fact that Boss Yang of My Grace Gong Yang was a master in the world...... Haven't you been harmed yet? Obediently follow me back to the yamen and wait for the fate! Fang Zhiliang, the head catcher, threw down two iron handcuffs with iron chains from behind him, and smashed them in front of Brother Yun and the barefoot Housheng: "Put it on yourself!" ”

Brother Yun shook his hands and picked up the handcuffs, but still turned his head to look at the old black ...... in front of the counter I saw that Lao Hei's black face was already full of despair. Brother Yun sighed and put the handcuffs on his wrists, Fang Zhiliang, the head catcher, came over and took out two copper locks, neatly locked the handcuffs of Brother Yun and the barefoot posterior from the middle, and breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the desperate old black: "As for you...... I'm afraid I can't escape a beheading and abandoning the city! ”

Hearing this, Lao Hei gritted his teeth and roared: "Death is death!" Anyway, Lao Tzu also lived happily on that little girl's skin...... It's worth it! ”

"Old Black!! You...... Do you really ......" Brother Yun shouted to Lao Hei with a shocked face.

Lao Hei looked at his crippled right arm and continued: "You pickled goods are in ruins, and you have fallen to the point of running away from your hometown and running for your life!" What else is conscience talking about? If it weren't for you...... Lao Tzu can at least find two more cushions! Phew......"

Fang Zhiliang snorted coldly, strode over, and kicked Lao Hei's right shoulder with one kick! "Whew!" A miserable howl...... Lao Hei's already broken bones were shattered by Fang Zhutou's kick, and he immediately rolled on the ground in pain!

"Dogs kill people...... Bundled up! Take it out, don't stain my ears! ”

"Yes!"

Among the two catchers waiting outside the door, a tall and thin man, only neatly and neatly, used the iron ruler in his hand to slash at Lao Hei's throat! Lao Hei immediately hiccuped and couldn't make a sound, scratched his throat with one hand but could only let out a hoarse moan, and the thin and tall catcher grabbed his back collar with one hand, dragged him to the outside of the inn like a dead pig!
