On a hill four or five miles away from Baiyang, twenty or thirty large and small houses are scattered on the mountain. In the middle of it is a small two-story wooden building, with five chairs on the left and right in the hall. On it is a huge tiger skin seat, and a plaque is hung in the middle, on which the words "Juyi Hall" are written. On both sides of the door there was a rack of weapons, complete with swords, guns, swords, halberds. At this time, there were seven or eight big men in the hall arguing fiercely.

"Big brother, it's just two people, let's go down and a few people will do it. If I don't take two of them, I'll be able to get some food. If you look at the brothers, a lot of people haven't eaten for two days, so it's going to be messy. ”

"How can the fourth child speak? The eldest brother has always advocated robbing the rich and helping the poor, doing the right thing for heaven, and he can't stand it when he is hungry. At that time, when our brothers burned incense and worshipped, they didn't see that you were so cowardly, you did this vote, what do other peers think of us? What do the villagers in the surrounding villages think of us? And the prestige we have accumulated will be ruined in one fell swoop. ”

"Okay, don't talk about it, the fourth brother is also afraid that his brothers won't be hungry, he has always lacked roots, what do you care about him."

"Alright, don't fight, we can't do that. And before it got to that point, Jia Junshi and the sixth and seventh children have been out for more than half a month, and they should be back soon. ”

"The brothers on the mountain are fine if they are hungry for half the day, but if they know that we are robbing the common people, then something big will happen, they are all from the surrounding villages, and they are all here for us for so many years in the name of doing the right thing for heaven and doing chivalry, and this will chill the hearts of the brothers. Bear with it a little longer, Lao Jiu and Xiao Shi beckoned a few brothers to boil some water and let the brothers drink some water. ”

"This time, the two of them really robbed us, what good can it do us, there are more than 400 people, what can we do. And you can't start this, or you will pay it back in the future, and you will erase this thing from my heart. Looking at the bustling quarrel in the hall, a big black-bearded man sitting at the top slapped the table and scolded.

After listening to the big man's words, everyone quieted down, and the two young men sitting by the door looked at everyone and went out with arched hands. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and start talking about other things.

It seems that these people still have a true temperament, and they don't take things to heart when they talk about things, and they don't take the big man to heart about scolding everyone.

"Brother Jiu, why don't we go down the mountain to see those two people, if we really want food, let's borrow a little from them, I'm so hungry that my eyes are panicking." One of the two young men walking outside said to the other, their immature faces full of anticipation.

The remaining young man looked much calmer, and said to him: "Little Shi, a few of us are the ones who can't endure hardship, you only know how to make trouble." Jia Junshi and the sixth and seventh brothers are estimated to be back soon, so let's not make any extraneous troubles. That day, when you have money, my brother will take you to Changshan County to go around, and the place will be good. Now let's listen to the eldest brother, go boil some hot water, and then go and see if there is anything to eat around. ”

"Brother Jiu, let's go and take a look, it's not far, how long has no one walked on this road. Let's go and take a look, and don't rob others, maybe there is really surplus food, and we will solve a big problem for the eldest brother. ”

Seeing Xiao Shi say this, Lao Jiu thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Okay, then go and have a look, but listen to me, don't run around." ”

"Okay, no problem!" Xiao Shi replied happily.

In fact, Lao Jiu is also a young man, how can he stay in the mountains, he is eighteen or nine years old, and he loves to move, so Xiao Shi agreed after a few words, mainly because he was too boring.

This village was actually established by ten of their brothers, and the reason why they are called brothers is because they are all orphans, and they were all picked up by an old Taoist outside. Growing up in a broken Taoist temple in the dense forest in the mountains, there is usually no one to go, and there are more than a dozen acres of land next to the Taoist temple, which is enough for them to live.

The old Taoist is very knowledgeable, and he has a bit of force, so he will teach them some knowledge or martial arts if he has nothing to do. But five years ago, because of an outing, he was seriously injured when he returned, and died soon after, leaving behind ten brothers.

Originally, the senior brother wanted to take a few people to serve the imperial court, but when he passed by Changshan, he saw a village, and the officers and soldiers were slaughtering the village.

After inquiring about it, I learned that these officers and soldiers were planning to kill good people and make meritorious deeds, and several of them were not very old and belonged to angry teenagers. All of a sudden, he didn't have a good impression of the officers and soldiers and the court.

A few people shouted the slogan of the way for heaven with this little ability, and after burning incense and worshipping the handle, they began to rob the rich and help the poor, and the landlords of the surrounding ten miles and eight villages let them rob it all over, and now the squires are afraid of the black cloud village.

But after several years of recession, the drought became more and more serious year by year, and the squires themselves were not having a good time, and it was almost impossible to get some grain out now, and every household did not have much surplus food.

And I heard that Jia Junshi said that you can't kill chickens and take eggs, otherwise there will be no place to ask for them in the future. Raise them for a few years first, and when the famine passes, they will be rich, and the cottage will be good.

So half a month ago, the sixth and seventh took Jia Junshi to Changshan County to buy food with their savings in the past few years, but this time it was half a month, and the people on the mountain were hungry and growling, but they didn't see Jia Junshi and a few of them come back.

Sometimes they all wonder if the sixth or seventh child will run away with the money. Of course, let's think about it, how to say that the brothers have lived from childhood to adulthood, and this trust is still there, and it may be that something has delayed.

It is said that the old nine and little ten brothers secretly bypassed the guards on the mountain and rushed down the mountain.

Under the mountain, Bai Yang and Xiao Yan rested for a moment under a tree, and were about to get up and go on the road, when they suddenly appeared two figures in front of them.

As the two slowly approached, Bai Yang finally saw each other clearly, they were two young men, probably two or three years younger than Xiao Yan. Seeing Bai Yang and Xiao Yan, neither of them knew what to say, they looked at Bai Yang and Xiao Yan directly, and didn't know how to speak.

Several people looked at each other for a while, and the younger and older young man over there suddenly shouted: "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, and I want to pass by from now on and leave it to buy road wealth." Big brother, it's convenient, is there a relief point for food, hehe! ”

"Brother Jiu, why did you shout halfway, there is still something behind."

"These few words are enough, seeing that they don't look like rich people, let's go back!"

Bai Yang looked at the two, the other party shouted a few words at first, and then the two muttered, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

But he is not stupid, combined with the behavior of the two of them and the words that Lao Jiu shouted at the beginning, this is a robbery.

However, Bai Yang seems that the two of them are not bad-hearted, and they may see that they are also poor people later, so he lowered his voice and asked if there was anything to eat. Looking at the other party's age, but he should be a martial arts practitioner, and the muscles bulging from those coarse cloth clothes should be good.

I was thinking about chatting with them for a few words, so I would give them some of my own jerky, but this time the elders were afraid that they would be wronged, but they took a lot of jerky.
