Meng Yuchu begged for a long time, but the two guards were still indifferent, Meng Yuchu could only retreat, helplessly returned to Liu Yuzhen's side, hugged her and cried silently.

"Sister, sister, why is your life so bitter, there is a favorite person, but he always pushes you into the fire pit, and it is easy to escape, but it falls into the hands of the wicked. Sister, I'm really useless, you're sick like this, but I can't help you, sister..."Meng Yuchu burst into tears, and could only hug Liu Yuzhen tightly in the hope that she would be more comfortable.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the sound of several people talking was heard.

"Lao Qin, you also know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, how did you think of giving medicine to this little lady? Could it be that you have fallen in love with someone else? ”

"Go, go, go, I am also entrusted by men, loyal to people, blessed, you take this water and pills into it."

"Oh, by whom? Can let your old Qin run errands! ”

"You don't care about this, besides, crying and shouting in your tent, aren't you afraid that you will be blamed for the noise? You must know that the above people are annoyed, and we have to find a way to solve it ourselves! ”

"Look at what you said is high-sounding, maybe you were entrusted by Brother Qian..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense, I'll invite you to drink when I'm on a business."

"Good thing, that's it!"

"Okay, blessed, take it quickly, I'm leaving!"

When the footsteps were far away, the guard at the door came in, really holding a small box in his hand, carrying a bowl of water, and seeing Meng Yuchu looking up at him, he said: "Little girl, you are lucky, someone has brought you medicine, just take this pill and melt it with water, and feed her to drink." This is a special medicine in our army, but it is much better than the one in the pharmacy outside, hey, don't grab it, you..."

Meng Yuchu didn't wait for him to finish, snatched the small box, and as soon as he opened it, a strong smell of medicine came to his nose, Meng Yuchu cried with joy, bowed to the guard, and said, "Thank you, Master Jun!" ”

The guard hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and said, "Don't, don't worship me, I can't stand it, if you want to worship, worship the person who asked someone to deliver medicine to you." ”

Meng Yuchu carefully took the water and put it on the ground, put the pill in it, and fed it to Liu Yuzhen's mouth...

The guard looked out, took out a paper bag from his bosom, put it on the ground, and said, "This medicine hurts the stomach, eat something after drinking the medicine, here is half a cake, you two can make do with it first!" ”

Meng Yuchu looked at the guard in some surprise, he didn't know what to say for a while, he cried and shouted for him just now, he was not moved, and now he took the initiative to help her, which made her a little confused.

The guard coughed and whispered, "Girl, there are so many people outside the account, how can you help you in front of everyone when you cry and shout?" I was going to go on a business trip and quietly find medicine for you, but fortunately, Lao Qin sent it. This old Qin's official position is bigger than mine, and ordinary people don't dare to say anything about him. Remember, what is the need, stop shouting so loudly! ”

Meng Yuchu choked back tears, put down the bowl, took a step forward, knelt down directly, and cried and said, "Master Jun... Thank you, you are such a nice person! ”

The guard helped Meng Yuchu up and said, "A good person doesn't dare to be a good person, but... There's a sister in the house who's as old as you...", and the guard turned around and strode out.

When the guard turned around, Meng Yuchu saw a small red birthmark on the back of his neck that looked like a butterfly. "Good man..."Meng Yuchu's tears burst out of his eyes again, but this time, his heart was warm. The medicine giver who never showed up, the guards who met in Pingshui, not only helped her, but also let her see a glimmer of light in this chaotic world, and feel the rare and precious kindness in this world full of hatred, pain, and suffering, and this kindness increased her courage and determination to face this world alone!

At the beginning of the moon, the mountain dragons came back to restore their lives, and more than 50 people went, but less than 30 people came back, but fortunately, these people were not seriously injured.

Ning Zhangtang felt that this was the most humiliating time he had entered the Condensation Hall for more than ten years.

A group of small mountain bandits actually caused him to lose his soldiers! Now he clearly knows where these bandits are, but he can't get close, so he can't help it. The thought of those bandits now hiding behind that forest to watch his jokes, Ning Zhangtang's teeth itched with hatred!

"What about your skills? What are you capable of? How do you guarantee it before you go? One big talk after another has blown into the sky, why is it cowardly now? What use do you think I have to raise you? A small grassy ridge stumped you? I see what kind of face you will have in the future, and then say that you are the mountain dragon of Ninglutang, I am really ashamed of you! Ning Zhangtang roared, and everyone who scolded lowered their heads.

When Ning Zhangtang had scolded enough, one of the small leaders had the courage to reply: "Ning Zhangtang, you are angry, the situation you encountered this time is really strange. It stands to reason that the fog should have dissipated in the sun, but the fog in the forest not only did not disperse after the sunshine, but became thicker, and the direction of the flow was almost unaffected by the wind, which had never been encountered before. My subordinates always felt that this fog was very evil, like ......"

"Like what?" Ning Zhangtang looked at his appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and he really wanted to go up and give him a kick.

"It seems to have come up from the ground, and it is not disturbed by external forces, it is very ......evil," the little leader lowered his head after speaking, afraid of being stabbed again by Ning Zhangtang's eye knife.

"Evil? I don't blame myself for being incompetent, but I pretended to be a ghost, hum, I'm really talented! Ning Zhangtang stared at these fools with resentment, but his heart was extremely anxious. This can't take those bandits, how can they go back to the errand? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Ning Zhangtang's mind, and then a hideous smile appeared on his face, this smile made everyone tremble, they knew that someone was going to be unlucky!

At night, the mountains were surprisingly quiet, and there was not a hint of wind. At the beginning of tomorrow month, a group of people and horses walked along the route they had taken up the mountain yesterday towards Luocaozhai. No one spoke along the way, only the sound of footsteps was heard along the road, and there was an occasional "click, click" sound when stepping on broken branches and leaves. The corpses in the mountains had been cleaned up, the corpses of the soldiers were placed on a sunny hillside for burial, and the corpses of the bandits were all carried back to Luocao Village, where they were now placed in the courtyard of Dazhai.

Ning Zhangtang came to the stockade with the people and horses very smoothly, stood on the edge of the courtyard and looked at the corpses on the ground, and then stared in the southwest direction for a while, and then spoke: "Take all the lamp oil, sprinkle it from room to room, sprinkle more!" Everyone knew in their hearts that this was going to set fire to Dazhai.

A subordinate was about to pour lamp oil on the corpse, and Ning Zhangtang immediately shouted when he saw it: "What are you doing?" Don't pour it on top of the corpse! The subordinate was startled and hurriedly walked away.

Wu Xian Ling next to him asked puzzledly: "Ning Zhangtang, aren't you going to burn this village?" What are you doing with these corpses? ”

Ning Zhangtang smiled coldly: "They have lived in this village for almost a year, isn't it too ruthless to burn it down like this?" I'm leaving some thoughts for the bandits, if they come back, they can still find the stumps of their brothers in this ruin, and I can do something for them, hahaha......"

When he said this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and they broke out in a cold sweat. Think about it a little deeper, if someone comes back in the future and pulls it in this pile of ruins, it is either Zhang San's arm or Li Si's leg, how terrifying and weird it should be, and what kind of heartache? If you want to say that this Ning Lu Hall is ruthless, it can be seen in this Ning Zhangtang.

Aren't you able to hide? Then I'll force you out! Burn down your nest to see if you can sit still?! Ning Zhangtang looked coldly in the southwest direction, his eyes were vicious and disdainful. Then he said to everyone: "Everyone should stand back a little, and then enjoy the scenery, but unfortunately, why is there no wind today, if there is a gust of east wind, it will be more lively, hehe...".

After everyone retreated, they only heard a sound: "Ignite", and dozens of torches at the same time dragged a bright arc and flew towards the roofs of the stockade. The walls of the houses here are made of stone, but the roofs are mostly made of wood and thatch. In an instant, the flames rose into the sky, illuminating the entire mountain red, and at the same time illuminating the sky. The fire slowly consumed everything in the cottage, burning all traces of the place to ashes, and the various objects in the house made a crackling sound when they were burned, as if telling the past of this place. Some of the outer houses burned the fastest, and when the beams of the roof were burned, the whole house collapsed, and at the same time the fireflies were all over the sky, and finally only a few red-burned stones were still standing stubbornly.

Everyone looked at this fire, and their hearts were indescribably nervous, and even Vice General Huo was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting that he was still preparing for an ambush. Ning Zhangtang's face was cloudy, and he stared at it for a while before laughing: "Burn well, burn well, it's better to burn the whole mountain, and it will be clean when it's burned!" This made Wu County Ling very uncomfortable to hear, this falling grass ridge was under his jurisdiction, and it became a barren mountain overnight, and he was not easy to explain to the above, and the people who supported the mountain were likely to go to his yamen to make trouble again?

This Wu County Order was still secretly slandering, Ning Zhangtang had already turned his head to look at him, and said to him: "Wu County Order, this Luocaoling Mountain is poor and evil, and there is a demonic fog in it, you can't stand idly by." ”

"That's, that's" Wu Xian Ling responded insincerely, and then thought again, is this Ning Zhangtang going to have some bad ideas.

Sure enough, Ning Zhangtang continued: "Today I will help you clean up the evil qi on the mountain, and tomorrow the fire will be extinguished, you build a mountain temple in the location of the original village, and remember to let the people come to incense on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, and suppress the evil qi on this mountain." ”

When Wu Xian Ling heard it, he was very unhappy. It is estimated that the bandits will not get much benefit this time, and they will build some more mountain temples by themselves, isn't this another trouble for themselves?

Ning Zhangtang saw that he didn't speak, knowing what he was thinking, and then said: "I will pay for the construction of the temple, you will work weekdays, and you can often send catchers to patrol the mountain." "It is said that it is a mountain temple, but in fact, it is a monitoring point set up on the mountain, Ning Zhangtang is still unwilling to catch the two bandit leaders, he wants to put a long line to catch a big fish!

Wu Xianling was naturally happy to hear that someone was paying money, but the catchers behind him were all pale and had something to do in the future. Of course, Ning Zhangtang understood what these people were thinking, and said: "Wu County ordered that all of your subordinates are good at catching fast, and in the future, everyone who is on duty in the mountain temple will be registered, and the silver will be paid at the end of the month." ”

Xu Binye was in a cold sweat when he listened. When Ning Zhangtang first came, after listening to the reports of the arresters, he praised them greatly, and kept asking about the origin of these catchers and the situation of Yuefeng, and now when he heard him say this, I am afraid that he will set up the Wu County order. Lord Wu, if you are smart, don't agree, in the future, the Condensation Hall will slowly use that bit of money to pry your people over, or directly empty you, and then you will have to be at their mercy.

But this Wu County Commander didn't care about Xu Binye's eyes at all, and still happily agreed, and at the same time he was still thinking about how much benefit he could get from these fast catchers.

Ning Zhangtang seemed to be in a good mood now, looking at the half-burned fire on the mountain, he waved his hand at everyone and said, "Okay, this scene is almost over, we should withdraw." ”

Liu Yuzhen's body was much lighter after drinking the medicine, and she felt a little thirsty and stood up to find water to drink, when the scene outside surprised her, and she hurriedly woke up Meng Yuchu, who was sleeping on the ground.

Meng Yuchu was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly felt that someone was pushing her, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Liu Yuzhen. Meng Yuchu grabbed Liu Yuzhen's hand and said, "Sister, are you better?" ”

Liu Yuzhen gently shook her hand back and said, "It's much better!" Yu'er, look outside......"

Looking in the direction pointed by Liu Yuzhen, I saw that the halfway up the mountain was red, and there was smoke coming out from time to time.

"Ah, what's going on?" Meng Yuchu asked in surprise.

"The place is on fire, and it looks like it's in the direction of the stockade." Liu Yuzhen looked outside and said.

"The stockade is on fire?" Meng Yuchu's eyes widened again and looked out, "How can this good thing catch fire?" ”

Liu Yuzhen shook her head, sat back down, and said, "I don't know, maybe someone deliberately set fire to the village, and I don't know what happened to them?" ”

"Sister, are you worried about the big boss?" Meng Yuchu looked sideways at Liu Yuzhen and asked. Although the big boss looks a little fierce, he is indeed a good person, and it is estimated that Liu Yuzhen also thinks of him now.

Liu Yuzhen shook her head blankly, stared at the ground and said, "No... Yes, I don't know, I'm just a little worried about them..."When I was in the mountains, I wanted to run as far away from him as possible, but now I'm worried about his safety... It's strange, how could I have such an idea?!

Meng Yuchu said: "Actually, although they are bandits, they are not bad...... Now not only is it being chased and killed by officers and soldiers, but even the stockade has been burned, which is quite pitiful to think about. ”

"yes." Liu Yuzhen replied with a gloomy expression.
