The gorge is breezy and the trees on both sides of the mountain stream are sounding. After a long while, a rough voice came from the bushes at the pass, and laughed: "Ha, big scar Liu, you are a fox spirit?" ”

"Hey~, it turned out to be the tiger master and the brothers of the eighteenth row? What a coincidence. Haha......" Big Scar Liu's voice was full of excitement, and he heard that it was the eighteenth row of leprosy tigers in front of him who were swinging urns.

This person's original name was Li Xihu, because he had leprosy and dysentery when he was a teenager, and there was no handful of hair in his brain, so he was nicknamed a leprosy tiger. "Master Hu, I brought the letter you asked me to carry last time. The book is now with me. ”

This leper tiger is ruthless, but also very righteous. At the beginning, the eighteen righteous brothers fell into the grass, and within a few years, each brother led more than ten people, each called the platoon leader. It is called the eighteen rows on the Luoxiao Mountain Road. Originally, they were entrenched between Zhangshui and Shangyushui, eating the mountain roads and waterways from the north to the west of Ganzhen, and their days were very moist. But somehow, at the end of last year, they moved to the mountain near Tanghuwei, and relied on their brothers to occupy Jieyun Village.

In the spring, Liu brought goods from Chenzhou to Jingzhu Mountain, passed by Jiaoyun Village on the way back, and heard the name of the leprosy tiger, so he prepared some gifts to worship the mountain. At that time, the leper tiger also personally received him, and asked him to bring a letter and twenty pieces of ocean to his uncle in Nanxiong.

It is said that the leper tiger lost his father when he was young, and the mother lived in his uncle's house for many years, so he respected him very much. It's just that when Big Scar Liu delivered the letter to the door, the poor uncle of the leper tiger thought that Big Scar Liu was a subordinate of the leper tiger, refused to accept the twenty oceans, and almost tore up the letter on the spot. Uncle Liu's thunder was furious, and the big scar Liu suffered silently, and the uncle was finally tired of scolding for a long time, and when he opened the letter, he realized that the letter was carried by the famous horse gang guest Big Scar Liu, and he couldn't help it, so he stayed for a meal, drank two glasses of water and wine with him, and said that it was to make amends.

Before setting off this time, Liu Duo, the big scar, kept a heart, turned to his uncle alone, and asked for a reply. I wanted to pass by Tanghu Wei and send it to Jiaoyun Village in person. Unexpectedly, I met here.

"Haha, Big Scar Liu, people say that you are a mountain spirit fox monster, and you really live up to your reputation, I admire it!"

With the sound of the voice, several people appeared in the bushes in front of them, and among them was a bald man with his chest and shirt open, and two guns stuck in his cowhide belt, and he was seen standing on the mountain road with a big grin, laughing nonchalantly.

Big Scar Liu's face was overjoyed: "It turns out that it's really a tiger master!" ”

He looked left and right, gave the Ma Gang a look, took two steps forward, and said in a loud voice, "Master Hu, I brought something for the brothers, and I was going to send it to the village." I didn't expect to run into it here. It's okay, the brothers are prosperous in the mountains and mountains, and the roads are prosperous, and no matter where they meet on the continent, they are the same. Today, the brothers ran to help, the tiger master set up the urn, what I didn't say, the things on the mule were left. In addition, there is also wine and meat in the horse team, today we will go to the front to dig the stove to cook, drink him a bright day, red luck will come naturally. ”

Before the leper tiger could answer, a man in a tunic stood next to him and shouted: "Big Scar Liu, you are already under siege, and those who know each other will be arrested quickly, so as not to be buried in the wilderness!" ”

Xie Yuzhen secretly peeked in, and saw that the person who spoke was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a white complexion, a weak appearance, and a gray Zhongshan on his body.

"I don't know who this gentleman is?" Liu Piaozhou, the big scar, went through the province, read countless people, and immediately judged that this person was an official of the national government nine times out of ten. This leprosy tiger ...... When did you collude with the government? Could it be that the "eighteenth platoon" has been recruited? The more Liu thought about it, the more frightened he became, it seemed that today's things were only afraid that it would be difficult to be good. However, he was still amiable on the surface, and he was happy to ask questions.

"My surname is Yang, you can call me Mr. Yang. I command you, lay down your weapons quickly! Otherwise......"

"Hey, Senator Young." The leprosy tiger waved his hand, stopped him, turned his head and smiled, "Oh, I forgot to introduce, Master Liu, this is Senator Yang in the county, entrusted by the county magistrate and the head of the Jingwei Regiment Luo, to go into the mountains to do something." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Senator Yang, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Big Scar Liu hugged his fists and said with a smile. "Senator Yang, we have no enmity in the near future, and no resentment in the near future. In Xia and a group of brothers, coming and going in the wind and rain, earning a mouthful of food, and trying to be a way to live. When you come to the high mountains of your county today, can you be accommodating and give you a way to go? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, big scar Liu, your road is very wild, you dare to take any job, and you dare to transport any goods. You know in your own heart what your horses are carrying. To give a happy word, do you descend or not? I'll ...... dozens of times" Senator Yang had a contemptuous look on his face, and there was no room for change between his words.

"Slow," the leper tiger's majestic voice sounded slowly, he patted Senator Yang's shoulder, and then turned around with a serious face: "Master Liu, what about the letter you said, and what else is there?" ”

"Believe in you, Lord Tiger." Big Scar Liu took out the crumpled letter from his pocket tremblingly, turned his head and asked his glasses softly, "Big Boss, how is it?" Shall you give them something? ”

The glasses that had been watching coldly immediately beckoned back: "Give!" A guy came up with a cloth bag, opened his glasses and asked Big Scar Liu to look at it, then tied it, took the letter in Big Scar Liu's hand, handed it to the guy together, and made a look: "Send it over." ”

"Yes!" The young man did not hesitate at all, and stepped forward.

"Good boy! It's not a small amount of courage. The leper tiger looked at the young man who was striding over and smiled.

"Xie Huye's compliment!" The young man respectfully handed the thing to the leper tiger, glanced at Staff Officer Yang, and then retreated.

It was getting late, the gap was cold and damp, and the horses and mules began to be restless after staying a little longer...... Senator Young? Jingwei Regiment? actually ran into a sworn enemy. The glasses shook wildly. What to do? To fight, or not to fight? While pondering, a voice beside him sounded softly: "Big Boss, 'you can fight before you can make peace', it's best to beat him for a while, so that they can see how powerful we are." ”

"Can you fight to make peace?" The glasses couldn't help but smile bitterly, and found that it was Young Master Chen's classmate from Qingluo Village who was speaking, a young man in a long shirt who was less than twenty years old, and seemed to be named Yu Cheng. 'If you can fight, you can make peace', well, that's a good statement, but it's just here and now..... How to fight? And how? Now that the caravan is on full alert, everyone is loaded with bullets, I am afraid that the sacrifice is today, but these supplies ...... Thinking of this, he beckoned back and said softly:

"Leopard, you go to the back, wait for the battle to start, and I will lead a squad to block it with all my might. You took the pack horse rear team to change into the front team, returned to Qingluo Village through Wulong Gorge, made a detour to Guidong, and went up the mountain by Shuikou, understand? ”

"Politics...... Big boss, you lead the team away, and I'll stop it. The guy who threw the stone just now protested quietly.

"It's an order. When is it, still fighting for this, believe it or not, I killed you! As soon as he lifted his robe, he pulled out a delicate little pistol, which he loaded and reloaded.

"You?" The young man's face turned red with anger, and he argued, "This arrangement is unreasonable, I can't agree to it." I'm good marksmanship, stay. The second squad leader led the team away. ”

Listening to the two answers, Xie Yucheng was stunned, and his eyes almost fell to the ground.

But at this moment, the voice of the leper tiger in front of him rose again, and it was estimated that he was weighing the burden, only to hear him smile and say: "There is still a little weight, big scar Liu, tell me, what is in this bag?" “
