Bai Zijun's words made Liu Er's face white and blue for a while, as embarrassing as he wanted.

Han Xuening smiled and said, "Brother Zijun is joking with you, Liu Er, your body can't support such a toss." ”

Liu Er's face only improved slightly.

Ten minutes later, ten men with five big and three rough came down from the mountain, obviously the bandits on the mountain.

Liu Er was very happy when he saw these bandits.

These people were very puzzled when they saw that Liu Er was being carried by a young man with a white face and white clothes.

The man who took the lead walked over and asked with a smile, "Second Master Liu, why are you here?" ”

"Fourth, I'm taking a friend to your mountain today, and I'll ask something by the way." Liu Er said to the boss.

"Second Prince Liu, please. Let's have dinner on our mountain today, a glass of thin wine, coarse tea and light rice. The fourth said again.

"Good! You lead the way! ”

After Liu Er finished speaking, the fourth child and more than a dozen men led the way in front, Liu Er looked at Han Xuening, "Miss Xuening, let's go up the mountain, if you have anything to ask, ask them in a while." ”

Bai Zijun asked Han Xuening's opinion, "Miss Xuening, can't we go up the mountain?" ”

"Go up, if you come, you will be safe, everyone be careful for a while, don't eat indiscriminately." Han Xue Ning was still on guard in her heart, afraid that these people would go down.

Han Xuening and the three of them followed behind those bandits and headed towards the mountain.

After walking for more than ten minutes, when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, there was a very wide forest halfway up the mountainside, and the people in front walked into the woods, Bai Zijun gave Han Xue a look, afraid that they would have an assassination in the woods.

Han Xuening said: "Follow it, Liu Er is in your hands, they won't mess around." ”

The three of them followed into the woods one after another, and after walking in the woods for about ten minutes, they came to a very open area in the middle of the woods.

Han Xuening: They didn't expect that there was such a place hidden in the woods.

Twenty or thirty houses were also built, all of which were mainly wooden houses.

The fourth man led his men to a large wooden house, and then asked his men to bring out a few benches and a square table.

"Second Young Master, you guys rest for a while. I asked people to prepare food and drinks. The fourth turned to Liu Er and said.

Han Xuening was strange, these houses were all dilapidated and old, and the clothes worn by the people here were also very old.

Even the stools and tables that had just been brought out were in shabby condition, and these bandits could be so poor.

Ten minutes later, a shabby-dressed peasant brought a pot of rice wine, a jar of peanuts, and a dry-mixed wild vegetable and put them on the table in front of Han Xuening and them.

Bai Zijun looked at the middle-aged woman curiously and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "You are distinguished guests, and this is the guest entertained by our village owner." ”

Bai Zijun scolded secretly in his heart, just these things still entertain distinguished guests, and it is almost the same as calling Huazi.

Han Xuening and the jade girl were also very puzzled, they saw Liu Er just now that they should have a good relationship with these people, they treated Liu Er as a guest, but now they took out these things shabbyly, is this to receive guests?

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Liu Er said with a smile: "These brothers are already poor, and it is very good to take these out to entertain us." ”

"That's not bad, don't you think we haven't drunk wine or eaten this wild vegetable?" Bai Zijun suddenly became angry.

Liu Er didn't pay attention to him, and sat on the stool waiting for the fourth child to come.

After the rural woman went in just now, she took out a few very small wine cups and put them in front of Han Xuening and them.

"They really invited us to drink!" Bai Zijun felt that this cottage hidden in the woods was getting stranger and stranger.

A few minutes later, the fourth man came over alone, and several of his subordinates did not follow.

The fourth child walked over to the table, sat down, and began to pour drinks for everyone.

After all the wine was full, the fourth child picked up the wine glass and wanted to toast to everyone.

Bai Zijun looked at the fourth child, then at Han Xuening and the jade girl, and said, "These two girls don't know how to drink, I'll do it with you, and Liu Er." ”

Liu Er smiled and said, "Okay! Let's three big men toast together. ”

The fourth child was no longer reluctant, picked up the wine glass and drank it all with Liu Er and Bai Zijun.

After drinking a glass, the fourth child said to Liu Er: "Second young master, these days, it is getting more and more difficult for our cottage, and we can't even eat enough." When the second young master was in Liujiabao, he would send us some rice grain, and I haven't seen you for more than a year. For more than a year, no one sent us grain or dry food, and the brothers could not have enough to eat, so they had to dig tree roots in the mountains to eat. Ay! ”

After listening to the fourth child's words, Han Xuening became even more strange, these people are bandits, why don't they grab some money or food? I'm dying of starvation, and this bandit is too incompetent.

Bai Zijun asked in a mocking tone, "Aren't you thieves?" If you can't grab something, you're going to starve to death. ”

The fourth sighed and said, "The people of the good family, we don't rob it." The people in the three surrounding villages, we don't dare to rob, here are all mountains, even the dealer can't grow it, we have food there! ”

Han Xue thought about it, there are indeed mountains all around here, and it is impossible to grow a banker, no wonder these people can't eat enough.

Bai Zijun asked the fourth child to make it clear, what the hell is going on.

The fourth child then talked about the origin of their gang of bandits, more than ten years ago, they were all villagers of the three surrounding villages, and the family conditions were also good, and the small life was quite prosperous.

Who knows, one day more than ten years ago, there was a rebellion in Zhangjiazhai, and this force also united many people in Liujiabao and Linjiazhai.

In the end, the rebel force was suppressed, and all the rebels were beheaded.

The remaining family members who had ties to the rebels were punished and kicked out of the three cottages.

The fourth child was originally from Liujiabao, because his eldest brother participated in the rebellion, their family was implicated, and the family was all driven out of Liujiabao and not allowed to step into Liujiabao.

Nearly 2,000 people were evicted from the three villages, including old and young, women and children, and pregnant women with big bellies.

In the end, the father of the fourth child led hundreds of people to settle down on Dulong Mountain here, and another leader of Linjiazhai took more than 1,000 people to Danan Mountain, which is 3 miles away from Dulong Mountain.

Over the past decade, many of these people have died. There were originally six or seven hundred people on Dulong Mountain, but now there are more than two hundred left. Moreover, it is the children and women and the elderly who make up the majority.

On the side of Danan Mountain, there are still five or six hundred people left, and for more than ten years, they have developed well by virtue of their topography. Now there is a cavalry contingent of more than a hundred people. I grabbed some silver taels and grain everywhere and came back, and my life was quite good.

After a long time, the people on Dulong Mountain were called bandits, but in fact, they were refugees who were driven out of the three villages.
