Chapter 58: Tiger Tail Cottage (1)
The owner of this Huwei cottage is named Cui Biao, a middle-aged man who looks fierce and fierce on the outside, but is kind and generous on the inside. He had a tall, good-looking, and elegant lady who was more than a decade younger than him, named Ahn Jae-hee. This An Jae-ji is a woman from a wealthy businessman that Cui Biao rescued from a group of strongmen.
On that day, Cui Biao led the brothers in the village to patrol the mountains under the village, and when he came to a canyon area, he heard a woman crying out for help from the valley. Cui Biao immediately led his subordinates to follow the sound, only to see that the ground in the canyon was full of corpses. A palanquin had been torn to pieces, and there were some cloths, silks, and small amounts of money scattered on the ground.
Beneath the rocks at the bottom of the valley, several strong men pinned a young woman to the ground and forcibly tore at her clothes. The woman struggled, desperately protecting her body, and shouted for help.
Seeing this, Cui Biao roared, brandished the Pu knife in his hand and ran over, and the knife fell in his hand, cutting several men who wanted to misbehave towards the woman to the ground.
The woman was already frightened and curled up on the ground, trembling all over.
"Girl, don't be afraid, I am the owner of Huwei Village near here, my name is Cui Biao. We have never harmed innocent people. Cui Biao put down the Pu knife in his hand, lowered his voice, and said to the woman.
The woman was so frightened that she stared at her frightened eyes and could not say a word. After a while, she came to her senses, fell to the ground and cried loudly until she passed out.
Cui Biao hurriedly took the woman into his arms and pinched her with his hand.
After a while, the woman finally woke up, she leaned weakly on Cui Biao's arms, and her spirit was a little trance.
Cui Biao had no choice but to take the woman back to the cottage.
After a period of careful recuperation in the cottage, the woman slowly recovered her vitality, her spirit gradually stabilized, and she was no longer so hostile and afraid of Cui Biao, who had been taking care of herself.
Slowly, Cui Biao learned what was going on from the woman.
It turned out that this woman was the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Pyongyang, named Ahn Jae-hee, who was 17 years old. Because after the Japanese captured the city of Pyongyang, they burned and plundered the city. For the sake of safety, Ahn Jae-hime's parents packed up their valuable things at home and prepared to take their daughter and the servants of the family to take refuge in the homes of relatives in the Ishida Mountains.
Unexpectedly, the family met a strongman on the way. An Jae-ji's parents and the servants in the family brought the family property to protect them, but unfortunately all died under the knife of the strongman. Fortunately, Cui Biao arrived in time, and Ahn Jae-ji was saved from humiliation.
"Where's your relative's house?" Once Cui Biao saw An sitting alone in front of Ji Du in front of the window, as if he was homesick, so he asked carefully.
"That relative was just a distant cousin of my parents, and they hadn't been in contact for a long time. As for where their home is, only my parents know. Ahn Jae-hee replied with a gloomy expression.
"Are there any other family members or relatives in Pyongyang?" Cui Biao continued to ask.
"No, it's all gone, pity my elderly parents......" Unexpectedly, Cui Biao's question aroused An Jaeji's sadness, and she lay on the table and cried.
"I'm sorry, I ...... I didn't mean to. Cui Biao realized that he shouldn't bring up this topic, and he seemed at a loss for a while.
With nowhere to stay, An Zaiji had to live in Huwei Cottage.
After a long time, An Zaiji slowly adapted to life in this cottage and forgot about the things that made her sad for the time being.
Gradually, Cui Biao gradually developed feelings for this beautiful woman with an elegant temperament, in addition to taking care of An Zaiji's daily life, he also took time to accompany An Zaiji from time to time, chatting in this beautiful mountain wilderness.
Ahn Jae-ji also gradually developed a good impression of this copycat owner who looks fierce and fierce on the outside, but is kind and honest on the inside.
Finally, on a sunny and breezy afternoon, in a blooming Jindalai flower bush, An Zaiji shyly threw herself into Cui Biao's wild embrace.
The days in the mountains are leisurely and pleasant. Ahn Jae-hee lives a carefree life in the mountains. She didn't have much to do except help Cui Biao cook every day, so she proposed to Cui Biao to learn martial arts from Cui Biao.
Cui Biao immediately agreed, and selected a handy Longquan sword for his wife.
Although An Zaiji has been pampered since childhood, he has worked very hard to learn swords from Cui Biao, and he has a high level of understanding. After learning for a short time, a Longquan sword was already dancing decently in her hand.
The honest and noble Longquan sword is worn on the waist of Ji with an elegant temperament, and it has a unique and dazzling feeling.
In fact, there is another very important reason why Ahn Jae-ji proposed to practice martial arts with Cui Biao, that is, to practice his skills and one day avenge his parents.
Cui Biao sent someone to inquire and learned that the person who robbed and killed An Zaiji's parents that day was committed by people from Anping Village, another cottage not far from here. At that time, Anping Village had nearly 200 people and horses, and all the people and horses of Huwei Village added up to less than 100. So, Cui Biao secretly recruited troops and horses, accumulating and expanding his strength, in order to avenge his wife one day.
At the same time, Anpingzhai also inquired that the person who killed his brother halfway and snatched away the wealth and women that had been in his hands was Cui Biao, the owner of Huwei Village.
When Hu Scar, the owner of Anping Village, learned the news, he was so angry that he scolded and threatened to set foot in Huwei Village to avenge his dead brothers. But he was afraid that Huwei Village was in danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and not easy to succeed, so he secretly waited for the opportunity.
In this way, there is an undercurrent surging between the two cottages, and a fight that is about to break out is inevitable.
One day, Cui Biao went down the mountain to run errands, and An Zaiji was very bored, so he walked out of the mountain gate and walked on the main road under the mountain. Suddenly, she heard a painful moan from someone in the grass on the side of the road. Following the prestige, I saw a young man squatting on the ground in pain, his hands pinching the knee joints of his legs, and his face showed a look of great pain.
Ahn Jae-hee hurriedly walked over and asked about the man's condition. The man claimed to have been bitten by a venomous snake on the side of the road.
An Zaiji squatted down and did see a wound on the man's calf, which was already bruised. An Zaiji didn't say a word, and quickly tied the man's knee joint with a strip of white cloth to prevent the snake venom from attacking his heart, and then helped the man into the cottage.
When he came to the village, An Zaiji took out the antidote to snake venom and applied it to the man's wound. Two hours later, the bruise on the man's leg receded, and his expression was no longer so painful.
At this time, Cui Biao rushed back to the village from the bottom of the mountain and asked about the man's situation. The man said that his name was Wei Shuyan, and because he had offended the government, he was arrested by the government, so he fled to the mountains for refuge, not wanting to be bitten by a poisonous snake.
"Thank you for the rescue of the owner's wife, Wei is willing to join the cottage to repay the cottage for saving his life." When he learned that the two people in front of him were the owner of Huwei Village and the lady of the village, Wei Shuyan immediately kowtowed to thank him and expressed his willingness to go to the cottage.
"What skills do you have to show the owner of this village?" Cui Biao didn't have a good impression of the short and thin man in front of him, who seemed to be powerless, and didn't want to agree to him joining the gang, so he asked.
"Qi Yu Zhai Master, the little freedom learned a set of monkey boxing with his father, and when he played with it, three or five people couldn't get close." Wei Shuyan's words were not without the meaning of showing off.
"Oh, can you demonstrate it on the spot and let the owner of the village take a look?" After Cui Biao finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately walked out of the hall with three big men.
"Then it's ugly." After Wei Shuyan finished speaking, he walked to the open space in the center of the lobby. I saw that his left foot was a small step across, his toes were supported, his right leg was bent and raised, and the instep was flattened and buckled; At the same time, the right hand is externally rotated through the chest and attached to the left forearm to the left forehead, with the palm facing down, the fingertips facing right, and the left hook hand closing in the left chest.
Wei Shuyan made a move to be independent and ready to meet the enemy.
The three big men didn't answer, they rushed forward, and at the same time punched Wei Shuyan in the center of the hall.
Seeing the opponent's heavy punch in front of him, Wei Shuyan immediately jumped up with his two feet, jumped out of the encirclement of the three of them, and at the same time, he took off his abdomen, body, and knees in the air, and when he jumped over the heads of the three people, he relaxed his body and kicked the back of the heads of the two big men with his feet. The movement was as fast as lightning, and before the two big men could react, they were hit in the back of the head by Wei Shuyan's feet, staggering to the ground, struggling a few times, and unable to stand up.
Wei Shuyan flipped forward with the help of his strength in the air, rolled forward one after another on the spot, looked back at the moon with one move, and stood firmly in place.
Seeing that the blow was missed, the last big man turned around and rushed over, raising his foot to kick Wei Shuyan.
"Alright, let's stop here." Seeing this, Cui Biao hurriedly stopped his subordinates.
Just now, Cui Biao had already seen Wei Shuyan's strength, and if he continued to fight, the three subordinates would definitely be able to take them down.
Hearing the words of the owner of the village, the big man quickly stopped his feet and stepped aside.
"Yes, it's really good. Then stay, be a small leader first, and then promote you after making contributions in the future. I don't know what the strong man wants? Cui Biao immediately agreed to Wei Shuyan's request to join the gang.
At present, it is the time of employing people in the village, and Cui Biao does not want to let go of a talent with good skills like Wei Shuyan.
"Thank you for the love of the owner of the village, the small one will do his best to serve the cottage!" Seeing Cui Biao agree, Wei Shuyan was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and knelt on the spot to thank him.
In the following days, Wei Shuyan worked diligently within the scope of his responsibility, coupled with the fact that this person was good at arguing and good at observing words and feelings, he always looked respectful and respectful in front of Cui Biao, and gradually won Cui Biao's appreciation and reuse, and was promoted to the second village master of the cottage.
On this day, it is Ahn Jae-ji's birthday, this is the first birthday of his wife after going up the mountain, of course Cui Biao wants to celebrate his wife.
Since early in the morning, Huwei Village has been busy up and down, especially Wei Shuyan, I saw that he was busy with everything and had to bow down to himself, commanding the brothers in the village to put up lanterns, kill pigs and slaughter sheep, and be very busy.
At noon, in the sound of drums, Cui Biao, who was dressed in costume, and his wife An Zaiji came to the cottage lobby covered in red and green surrounded by everyone.
"The lord and his wife are invited to the table!" Wei Shuyan, the owner of the second village, stood on the high platform in the lobby and shouted loudly.
"The brethren have worked hard. Let's all sit together! Cui Biao took his wife's hand and greeted his subordinates with a smile.
"Brothers, today is the day of great joy for our cottage, first of all, on behalf of all the brothers in the village, I wish my sister-in-law a happy birthday and eternal youth!" After taking his seat according to the order, Wei Shuyan first stood up and sent his blessings loudly.
"Okay, brothers, a toast!" Cui Biao was in a happy mood.
There was a clanging sound of clinking glasses.
"Second, I want to wish our sister-in-law an early birth of a noble son for our lord of Dazhai. Isn't that right? Wei Shuyan sent his blessings again.
"Yes, give birth to a noble son early!"
"Fat boy!"
"It's better to have two at once!"
There was a commotion among the brothers in the village.
"Okay, good, big brother, I will work hard to live up to the good intentions of the brothers!" Cui Biao gently hugged the waist of the lady sitting beside him, and smiled a little from ear to ear.
Ahn Jae-ji happily snuggled in Cui Biao's arms, her cheeks crimson, and her head bowed in shame.
"Of course, I also wish our Huwei Village to recruit talents, continue to grow, and shock Shitian Mountain. You say, don't you? Eldest brother. Wei Shuyan continued to speak auspicious words.
"Yes, yes, the second brother is right, as long as our brothers work together, the cottage will continue to grow. Brethren, follow me, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth! ”
"Yes, follow the eldest brother to have meat to eat and wine to drink!" A small leader shouted.
Next, the brothers present in the cottage stepped forward to toast and bless the owner and his wife. In the lobby of the entire cottage, there was a sound of pushing cups and changing lamps and drawing fists.
Just as Cui Biao was holding a birthday banquet for his wife in the cottage, under the guidance of Heigu, Xiu Neng, Luo Shiyin and others also happened to come to Huwei Cottage.
