The thin-skinned coffin is not heavy, it is made of wood waste, and the shopkeeper pointed to a pair and said, "Hurry up and move away, I will regret it in a while." Xu Yuan and Zhaoqian could only move, the two of them tied the coffin with a hemp rope, carried it one by one, and the guys from the coffin shop also helped tie it up and sent them out. Zhao Qian asked as he walked behind, "Why is this Azusa Palace so light?" I think that the Zigong Palace at the time of the emperor's funeral had to be moved by sixteen people together. Xu Yuan snorted, "Where do the people have the money to buy Zi Palace?" This is a coffin, it's different from that, this one is made of wood waste, and now although there are frozen bones everywhere on the road, you see, how many people can afford to buy coffins? ”

The two of them left the town, and Zhao Qian said: "I see that the business of only coffin shops in that town just now is quite prosperous, where are other shops open?" Xu Yuan nodded, "Now that the snow disaster is so serious, there are frozen bones everywhere on the road and no one buries them, and we can't see the land of wine and meat, so how can the common people still have money to have fun." "When I arrived in the village, I buried Wei Ming's wife, in troubled times, human life is cheaper than a dog. There was no paper money, so he picked up some leaves to pay tribute to his deceased wife. The wind is sluggish, and the mourning moves the heavens and the earth. After burying his deceased wife, Xu Yuan asked him what his plans were. Wei Ming said: "Two benefactors, Wei Ming knows that the money on his body can't buy a coffin at all, and the kindness of the two benefactors, Wei Ming will never be able to repay it, and he is willing to serve on the side, not asking for anything else!" ”

At this moment, Xu Yuan, who should have agreed, was a little hesitant, Wei Ming was just a farmer, and there was no need to get involved in this struggle with no victory. Zhao Qian had already helped him up: "Since you can afford the two of us, brother, we will not let our brother suffer such grievances in vain, and now my brother and sister are dying in vain, this is an injustice of heaven, and we must get this justice back." Wei Ming was stunned: "Even so, it was God's arrangement, how can the three of us ordinary people seek justice?" Hearing this, Zhaoqian sighed, looked at Xu Yuandao, and said: "I was originally the little lord of Prince Shen's mansion, but I was imprisoned in Gyeonggi by my imperial brother, if it wasn't for Junrui to save me, I might have to confess in this life." ”

"God is unfair to me, so what I lost, I want to take it back with my own hands, you see that the first emperor was not a descendant of the royal family in ancient times, but he can also level the world, I am a descendant of the ancestral dragon, I must not waste my youth, since the snow disaster killed innocent people, then it must not die in vain!" Wei Ming originally listened to the clouds, but what Zhao Qian said was righteous, he just felt that it was very reasonable, especially the last sentence, he stood up: "Not bad!" can't die in vain, I want to get this justice back for Xiang'er! Xu Yuan looked at the two of them there and said, turned around and didn't say anything, but thought in his heart: This is a rebellion, then anyone who comes into contact with us is a big rebellion, in this case, why care about those false ones, if you can really be crowned the king and worship the prime minister, maybe you can have a good future, it's better than waiting for death here.

In the crevices of the ruins, the three of them huddled together all night. At dawn on the second day, the three men took out what little dry food they had left, divided the food, and set out on the road they had traveled yesterday in search of the desperate people. When they arrived at the place where they were separated yesterday, the dozen or so old and young masters were still standing there, all with their heads bowed, their eyebrows drooping, Xu Yuan and Zhaoqian glanced at each other, and they didn't know what it was like in their hearts, and these dozen or so people stood up one after another when they saw them. The middle-aged man led by the human: "Township Party, we have collected money after we go home, as long as you are willing to help us find someone, money is not a problem, we have to make up for it by smashing pots and selling iron!" The whole village is trapped in a small number of people, and there can't be no one in the village! ”

The middle-aged man handed out a sack of copper coins, Xu Yuan took it, there were probably more than 100 yuan, this is all their net worth. Xu Yuan asked, "Your village can't be without these people, right?" They nodded, and some of them retorted at the time: "Township Party, I have more than 100 people." Xu Yuan called the middle-aged man who was the leader, pulled him and Zhaoqian to the corner and asked him, "How many people do you need to rescue them?" The middle-aged man thought for a while, frowned, and said, "It's difficult to have three hundred people." Xu Yuan was anxious now, this person must have something to hide, he said angrily: "Do you know that this is a matter of human life, how did you have more than 100 people trapped in the mountains, scattered or concentrated?" How many days can they hold out in such a big snow, and how soon we can get to that place, don't you know how many days we can let us go over and die? ”

The middle-aged man touched the ground on his toes, and he hesitated for a long time before he was willing to say: "We are a village, young and old, originally planned to go up the mountain to hunt, and then met a scholar on the road, he said that there is a treasure in ancient times, let us follow him, we were not together, and then this is not a heavy snowfall, so many people can be warm and warm together, we will go together, this scholar said to take us to find the baby, it turned out to be to dig other people's ancestral graves, we can't do this thing, and then we separated, I met the bear blind man, now the people should have run away, I don't know how much I can live, but most of them are alive, the township party, the dry food they brought will last for three days at most, and they won't be able to hold it tomorrow, the mountain road is so difficult to walk, and it is not easy for ordinary people to get on! ”

His meaning was already clear, he met the tomb robbers, and was scattered by the bear without them. Xu Yuan nodded, he looked at Zhao Qian, looked at him, and said to the middle-aged man: "I understand what you mean, tonight, bring your hunting knives, and I will take you to find someone." The middle-aged man nodded, "Don't worry, I see that you are very capable, and we will definitely arrive on time." After he left, Zhao Qian asked, "Why do you want to help them?" These hunters are obviously scattered in the mountains, and it is difficult to find them at all, and the strength of the three of us is completely a drop in the bucket. Xu Yuan nodded, "Exactly, I plan to borrow their power to help us get the first batch of centaurs." ”

At that time, the sky had already darkened, and after they met, everyone covered their mouths and noses with black cloths and could not recognize their identities, holding hunting knives, Xu Yuan took them through the back wall and slipped into the county lord's mansion, the county lord was secretly trying to hold his concubine at this time, and was caught by a group of masked men jumping in from the window and holding the hunting knife to his throat. Xu Yuandao: "Write an urgent letter to the barracks, saying that there are bandits in the mountains, and the county government is in short supply, and the captain will send 300 people to suppress the bandits for you." Don't use official language, just use the language of your usual correspondence. The county magistrate wrote the letter with a bitter face, Xu Yuan looked at it, added a silver ticket of 20,000 taels of silver, tied the county order to the cellar, and then was willing to leave.

The lieutenant looked at the letter, touched the silver ticket again, smiled, and directly counted the three hundred people and gave it to Xu Yuan, without saying a word, as soon as he finished explaining, Xu Yuan pulled out the dagger and took over the county garrison of these two thousand people. He ordered: "I was sent by the county magistrate to suppress the bandits, and now I will recruit three hundred people to go up the mountain, and you three centurions will go with me." The three men began to shout: "Where is the general?" We want to see the general, do you have a military talisman and want to move the army. Xu Yuan showed out the soldier talisman and the county master's handwritten letter, and the three people stopped talking, and mobilized their men and horses overnight to set off up the mountain.
