In the afternoon, the sun is sloping westward, and a family of four is walking on the mountain path.

It was late summer, although the heat wave was rolling outside the mountain, the weather was cool in the mountains, and the mountain road was lush on both sides.

Lin Xiuniang followed behind her father-in-law and mother-in-law, carrying her daughter forward, her simple clothes could not hide her natural beauty, and her daughter was lying on her back, already asleep.

The Jin soldiers were entrenched, and Jiecheng County restored the rule of the king, but it could no longer restore the previous scene. The displaced people are everywhere, and the rout soldiers are even more vicious and evil, robbing and killing people, and it is not uncommon to commit murder and evil, just like the troubled times.

A group of about forty or fifty mountain bandits hid in the woods next to the mountain road, looking at Lin Xiuniang and the others who came over the mountain road.

These people are all dressed as officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, but the clothes on their bodies are in tatters. Seeing that there were people coming on the mountain road, some people hurried down to report to the chief.

Zhang Guozhong was lying in the depths of the mountain col, squinting his eyes and recuperating. Since Lingqiu was defeated without a fight, their group hid in Luliang Mountain for more than three months, until the weather was hot and the news of the Jurchens' withdrawal came, they came all the way to Henan Mansion, robbed and plundered all the way, and lived by plundering everywhere, but made everyone's life good.

"Dutou, there are a few people on the mountain road, there is a little lady who looks good, do you want to go over and have a look?"

The sergeant whispered.

"Little lady?"

Zhang Guozhong sat up suddenly. March doesn't know the taste of meat, and sees that the sow is also a fairy, not to mention a beauty!

"Lead the way!"

Zhang Guozhong grabbed the rusty long knife, followed the soldiers, came to the hiding place, and looked towards the mountain road.

The two old men who took the lead seemed to be husband and wife. In the back is a young woman carrying a baby on her back. Under the warm sun, the woman sang a mountain song softly, with a graceful figure, a clever smile, and a beautiful eye.

Zhang Guozhong swallowed his saliva unconsciously, but the horn at the corner of his mouth fell!

Seeing that Lin Xiuniang and the others were about to pass, Zhang Guozhong reacted, and when the whistle sounded, a group of routs came out of the woods, surrounding Lin Xiuniang's ancestors and grandchildren on the mountain road in the middle.

The grandparents and grandchildren were all in a panic, and Shao's father was protecting his wife and daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and his heart couldn't help but sink when he saw the dress of these routs.

Bandits are like books, soldiers are like grates, if they are bandits, forget it, it's a big deal to grab some silver, these routs, that's a bad thing.

"I told you a long time ago to take the avenue, but you have to take the shortcut, this is not a problem!"

Shao's mother stood behind her husband and complained softly.

If it is his old couple, forget it, there is a daughter-in-law who is like a flower and jade in the back, so that these thieves can meet, how can there be good fruits to eat.

"Old woman, don't complain, act when you have the opportunity."

Shao's father secretly complained in his heart, whispered to his wife, and then stepped forward to hug his fist.

"Brothers, please give me a convenience, the old man has some silver on him, you just take it, and please don't hurt your family."

Zhang Guozhong walked up separately from the others, looked at Lin Xiuniang carefully, and wanted to release light in his eyes.

Seeing Zhang Guozhong's pair of thief eyes constantly wandering around Lin Xiuniang, Shao's father suddenly felt uneasy.

Shao's father took out the silver taels on his body, handed them over: "Strong man, please let go of my ancestors and grandchildren, if the silver taels are not enough, there are still some in the next family, please don't embarrass the family below!" ”

"Bring it to you!"

One of the routs stepped forward and grabbed the silver, then stepped aside and put his hand into his bosom.

"He's a stunner!"

Zhang Guozhong looked at Lin Xiuniang intently, the woman's slender figure made him swallow a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.

If you can have a spring breeze with such a woman, you are really willing to die.

Lin Xiuniang shrunk her neck and hid behind her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and her daughter was lying on her mother's back, also shrinking her head, not daring to look at the group of strongmen outside.

"Do it!"

Several rout soldiers stepped forward, pulled away Shao's father and mother, and separated Lin Xiuniang from the young girl, Zhang Guozhong stepped forward, carried Lin Xiuniang on his shoulder, and went to the woods next to the mountain road.

Shao's father was filled with indignation, took advantage of his unpreparedness, overturned a rout, snatched the man's steel knife, cut down one person, fought with the rest of the rout, turned back to his wife and shouted: "Hurry up and take Nan Nan away, go back to find Da Lang and Erlang!" ”

Yang's mother hugged her granddaughter and fled to the forest. The routs were furious, some people surrounded Shao's father, and some people chased Shao's mother.

Zhang Guozhong ignored the fight behind him and Lin Xiuniang's beating and scolding, and went all the way to the woods.

Shao's father was very old, although he cut down two more routs, but he was stabbed in the lower abdomen by one of the opponents, and then several routs stepped forward, swords and guns were raised, and Shao's father soon fell in a pool of blood.

A rout stepped forward, kicked Shao's father's corpse a few times, cursed a few words in his mouth, and led a group of bandits to rest on the side of the road.

Lin Xiuniang's cries and struggles, and Zhang Guozhong's wild laughter followed. The laughter of the defeated soldiers was obviously commonplace.

Shao's mother fled with her granddaughter in her arms, stumbling all the way, and finally ran to the intersection of Shaojiazhuang, but was quickly caught up by the rout soldiers chasing behind and surrounded by a group.

"Old pious woman, you can really run!"

The rout soldiers were panting and sweating, and in annoyance and anger, they stepped forward together and cut Shao's mother to the ground, only the granddaughter was tightly protected on her chest.

"None of them will be left!"

The routs stepped forward and stabbed the children with a single shot, and the cries that had just been heard came to an abrupt end.

"Go into the village and rob him of Thanion!"

The routs went berserk, brandishing swords and guns, shouting and coming into the village.

The Zhuang of Shaojiazhuang saw it clearly, and immediately rushed back, and soon knocked open the door of the Shao family.

"Da Lang, Erlang, it's not good, the bandits have entered the village, and your mother and Nan Nan have been killed by the bandits!"

As soon as the Zhuang man entered the door, he shouted loudly.

Shao Ping and Shao Xing were all taken aback, each picked up the spear in the courtyard, followed behind the Zhuang people, and ran towards the entrance of the village together.

Shao Ping was anxious, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, there were already forty or fifty people behind him, and dozens of bandits came forward viciously with sharp blades in hand, and there was blood stained along the way, and more than a dozen corpses of villagers had fallen.

"Destroy these dogs!"

Shao Xing's eyes were red, and without saying a word, he greeted him with a gun.

The routs thought that they could be captured, but they didn't expect that the young man in front of them was so brave and ruthless, he came up and stabbed with a gun, and the momentum was violent, and the bandits fell more than ten people in an instant.

Shao Ping shouted loudly while desperately slashing and killing: "Where did you come from, how are you thieves, how is my father and mother?"

Dozens of villagers brandished knives and guns and rushed over, and someone said loudly: "Erlang, it's these dogs who killed your mother and your mother!"

"Straight sissy thief!"

Shao Ping's heart was like a knife, and he fired a few shots, all of which were desperate fights, and the two routs in front of him were caught off guard, and they were shot in the chest and stabbed to the ground.

A rout slashed down viciously from the side, but was separated by a shot from Shao Xing next to him, and Shao Xing took advantage of the situation and smashed the rout to the ground.

"Erlang, hurry over and see how your aunt and Nannan are?"

Shao Xing shouted loudly, and another shot stabbed another rout to the ground.

The young people of the village also rushed up, and everyone surrounded more than a dozen routs together, tightly entangled with each other.

Shao Ping ran to the intersection and saw his mother and daughter lying in a pool of blood, so he hurriedly stepped forward, but his daughter was pierced by a spear and was already dead, and her mother was also dying.

Shao Ping's liver and intestines were broken, he stepped forward to pick up his mother, and shouted loudly: "Mother, wake up, wake up!"

Shao's mother was angry, her finger pointed in the direction of the mountain road, and then her hand slowly fell, and she was already out of breath.

Shao Xing led people to kill the rest of the dozen or so routs, and rushed over with three prisoners.

"Auntie! Whoa!"

The spear in Shao Xing's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"Erlang, we have already asked, these guys are all defeated soldiers of the imperial court, and they killed their aunt and nannan. The uncle is also very lucky. Sister-in-law may ......"

Shao Ping got up from the ground, picked up the spear on the ground, stabbed one of the routs in the chest, then pulled out the spear, and stabbed the other two routs.

Shao Xing said loudly: "Who wants to come with me to save my uncle?"

Shao Wu immediately said loudly: "Let's go together!"

An old man said: "It's important to save people, you go together, and we will handle the affairs here."

Shao Xing was in front, and forty or fifty young men from Shaojiazhuang followed behind Shao Xing, all the way to the side of the mountain road.

Shao Ping looked at the bodies of his mother and daughter, gritted his teeth, picked up his gun and followed the crowd.

When they came to the mountain road, they saw several corpses on the ground from a distance, and a group of routs were resting in the shade of the trees on the side of the road, laughing and playing.

Seeing Shao Xing and others coming, the defeated soldiers were stunned and stood up one after another.

Shao Xing saw it clearly, and one of the corpses on the ground was his uncle's. He let out a loud cry and rushed at the routs with his spear.

The routs were all shocked, and they didn't expect that this person would be desperate as soon as he came up, so he hurriedly met him with guns and knives.

The men of Shaojiazhuang also rushed up, and the two sides became entangled with each other, and soon there was a bloody battle.

It's okay for these routs to bully the people at ordinary times, but as soon as they encounter these young men who are fierce and have worked hard for many years, a few people fell in a few places.

The others couldn't support it, so they ran away, and the men of Shaojiazhuang had a great increase in courage, and the defeated soldiers who were killed screamed again and again, and fled to the mountains and forests one after another.

Zhang Guozhong got dressed contentedly, picked up the water bladder, and was about to drink saliva, when he suddenly heard the sound of fierce fighting outside, he picked up his knife and rushed out.

Lin Xiuniang got dressed silently, saw the rope on the ground, stepped forward to pick it up, walked under a low old tree, and put the rope on it.

Zhang Guozhong stepped forward with a knife and happened to meet Shao Ping, who was chasing after him, and the two fought together directly.

Shao Ping stabbed out a few shots with a "poof", the gun killed him, and Zhang Guozhong was careless, his left shoulder was pierced, and he collapsed to the ground.

Shao Ping's spear pressed against Zhang Guozhong's throat and said loudly: "My lady is there, say it quickly!"

Zhang Guozhong's left shoulder was extremely painful, and he laughed: "It turns out that the woman is your Hun family, and her body is white and soft, and she can pinch out the ...... tender."

Before Zhang Guozhong finished speaking, Shao Ping had already moved forward with a spear and pierced Zhang Guozhong's throat.

Suddenly, Shao Wu's voice came, "Erlang, sister-in-law's body has been found!"

Shao Ping ran over, only to see that in the middle of the woods, his wife was lying flat on the ground, and there was no sound.

Shao Xing saw it from afar, sighed secretly, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and tears came out of his eyes.
