After that clearing is a gentle slope, rows of stone houses are neatly arranged, the wall gate built of wood and artemisia grass is simple and rough, and the three vigorous and powerful big characters "Falling Grass Village" on the door actually exudes a solemn atmosphere. There are also couplets posted on the doorposts on both sides, the upper couplet: God asks about life and death, and the lower couplet: There are people in the grass. Also, God cares about life and death, but you have to find your own way to live.

A few sentries at the gate looked around vigilantly, and the people in the yard came in and out, seemingly busy. Hearing the shouts in the distance, a few minions looked at it, and hurriedly shouted at the top of their voices: "The second master is back!" ”

"Hahaha, the second child is back!" With a burst of bold laughter, a man in his thirties walked out, tall and burly, a half-coat made of animal skin looked domineering, and he looked like a thick eyebrow and big eyes, that is, the black mole the size of a small thumb on the left eyebrow was a little broken, this is Lu Changqing, the big boss of Luocaoling.

Everyone dismounted and clenched their fists, and shouted in unison: "Great master!"

The big boss glanced at the two little girls who were thrown on the ground, and asked funny: "Second brother, are you going into the mountain to dig a mallet?" Bring me back two ginseng girls? ”

"Big brother, I was lucky today, I robbed the Hu of Ninglutang and got two little girls to be maids for my sister-in-law." The second master walked further and said.

"Haha, it's still the second child who is thoughtful, too, it's inconvenient for us to have no woman in the mountains to serve you." The big boss beckoned behind him and said, "Go and bring these two girls to Aunt Zhang, clean them up, change into clean clothes, and then send them to Mrs. Zhang." ”

"Wait a minute," the second master pointed at Meng Yuchu and shouted, "I have something to ask her." ”

"Oh?" The big boss glanced at the second master curiously.

The second master clasped his fists and said: "Big brother, since we want to enter the mountain gate, we have to figure out what kind of person it is!" ”

"Hmm!" The big boss nodded, and glanced at Meng Yuchu by the way.

Tied up and bumpy all the way, just let go of his hands and feet and was tossed on the horse's back for half an hour, Meng Yuchu was already dizzy and dizzy, and when he heard that he was going to ask, he tried to calm down, straightened his waist slightly, and raised his head slightly.

Meng Yuchu's head startled the scholar next to him.

"Girl, let me ask you, why did you go up the mountain?" Again, that's the problem. When I asked the question before, the second master naturally wanted to know the real reason, but this girl actually prevaricated, and now that she has entered the mountain, she must ask clearly.

"I'd rather enter the mountain gate, not fall into the hall! Although the mountain has taken on the name of Kou, it can be accompanied by the mountains, forests, grass and trees, and there is still a trace of freedom, which is better than being at the mercy of others and being trampled by! Meng Yuchu bit his pale lip and said in a very light but firm tone!

"However, as far as I know, most of the women who fall into the trick will learn some skills, at least they can keep their food and clothing worry-free," the big boss looked at Meng Yuchu with interest.

"Even if you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you're just a caged bird. Although the little woman has no big ambitions, she also yearns to be free and live according to her heart. Meng Yuchu's eyes were extremely firm.

"Haha, there's a character, I like it!" Big boss laughs heartily!

At this time, the scholar walked up to the second master and whispered a few words while looking at Meng Yuchu.

"Oh?" The second master was slightly stunned, then looked at Meng Yuchu with a puzzled expression, and asked, "You are the eldest daughter of Mr. Meng Jinren, the teacher of Qingwu Town?" Upon hearing this, everyone was full of suspicion.

Qingwu Town is a big town in Puyiguan, it used to be very rich, Meng Jinren is the town's "Zhengren Library" of the teaching gentleman, this Mr. Meng is honest and generous, in the academic treatment of disciples whether rich or poor are treated equally, strict requirements, but also often donate money to support poor students, praised by the local people. I didn't expect that such a wise man who taught righteousness, benevolence and righteousness would also fall to the point of selling his sons and daughters!

"Yes" Meng Yuchu said softly: "After years of war, there is no one to study in the school, recently my mother has been seriously ill, my father is unable to heal, and there are still two young brothers who still need to be raised. My parents are in trouble, how can I sit idly by? should repay his parents with this flesh and blood. ”

Everyone sighed when they said this.

After a pause, Meng Yuchu looked up at the two leaders and said, "The little girl has something to ask for, and I beg the two leaders to agree." ”

"What's the matter? Say it," said the big boss.

"Please don't tell my father where I am!" In addition to deep sadness and helplessness in Meng Yuchu's eyes, there is also a trace of strength!

Nowadays, it is the way of Confucius and Mencius that prevails, and Meng Jinren is also deeply influenced by it, establishing the world with "benevolence and righteousness", and cultivating himself with "gentleman", such a person who attaches importance to fame and prestige, would rather starve his family to death than sell his children to support his family, not to mention being a condescending and pretending trick, it is simply a great shame for him!

The big boss was stunned at first, then nodded and said, "What a reasonable little girl, we were moved by your filial piety!" Don't worry, you won't let your family know. What is your name? ”

"The beginning of the Meng language"

"Good! Miss Yuchu, you just have to stay here with peace of mind, no one will dare to bully you in the future!"

"Thank you, boss!"

"Hahaha, calling us a big boss means that you are already a person from our grassy mountains! What about you? What is your name? The big boss turned his head to look at Mei Sheng.

After listening to Meng Yuchu's words just now, Mei Sheng was not so timid now, and then lowered his head and said, "Mei Sheng."

"Well, how? Would you also like to enter the mountain gate? ”

"I... Willing. Mei Sheng replied timidly.

"Okay, scholar, you go and take them to Aunt Zhang's, change their clothes and eat something, and then go to see Madame!"

"Yes," the scholar ordered, and led the two girls to a courtyard to the east.

Seeing a few people leaving, the big boss turned his head to look at the second master, scratching his head and said: "Second brother, more and more people have come to the camp in the past two days, let's go in and discuss what to do next!" ”

"Okay, big brother, please" The second master made a gesture of please.

"Let's go" The big boss patted the second boss on the shoulder with one hand, and shouted inward: "**, bring the account book..."
