Heigu's house was on a high slope on the other side of the valley, with two small adobe houses and a small courtyard enclosed by a wooden fence, and the outside of the fence was full of crazy moonflowers and trumpet flowers.

"I'm back. There's a guest coming! Heigu pushed open the fence gate in front of the courtyard and shouted into the house.

"Oh, got it." A man's deep voice came from inside the room.

"Wang, Wang......"

A huge hound ran from the northwest corner of the yard, and it first jumped and made trouble around Heigu affectionately, and then found the stranger behind Heigu, and roared at the visitor.

"Beibei, don't make trouble, these are guests." Hei Gu gently patted the hound on the head. The hound immediately quieted down, ran to the crowd, and wagged his tail merrily.

Hei Gu and Ye Ruliu put the bear in their arms in a bamboo cage on the south side of the courtyard.

"Babe, this is your new companion, don't hurt them." Hei Gu shouted at the dog that was curiously circling around the bamboo cage.

The hound obeyed, and obediently ran to the side and crouched on the ground.

Because the space in the house was too small, only Luo Shiyin, Xiu Neng, Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu, and Xie Yuan followed Heigu into the door.

The room was dimly lit, and the beams were covered with all kinds of animal skins and dried goods from the mountains. On the bed on the right side of the room, Zhang Zaigen, Heigu's husband was lying, and when he saw Heigu leading several guests into the room, he hurriedly supported his upper body with his hands and nodded to everyone.

The black girl briefly introduced her husband to the general situation of the guests, poured a glass of water for everyone in the room, and asked her husband to accompany the guests to talk. Then, Hei Gu took out a few short scimitars from the drawers on the table, went out to skin and cut the meat of the two prey, and prepared lunch for everyone.

Ye Ruliu followed out and helped Heigu cook lunch for everyone.

Lunch was a hearty stew of bear meat, tiger meat, and wild mushrooms from the mountains. The moment the food comes out of the pot, the garden is full of fragrance.

Because there were not enough tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, except for Luo Shiyin, Xiu Neng, and Li Ruzhu, who were accompanied by Heigu's husband Zhang Zaigen in the house, everyone else squatted on the ground in the courtyard in groups of three or five, enjoying this untasted delicacy.

Hei Gu kept busy coming and going, adding food and food for everyone.

"This bear meat and tiger meat are all good things, I said water snake waist, you can eat more, this thing nourishes the kidneys, aphrodisiacs, and strengthens muscles and bones." Shi Tianji squatted with Xie Yuan, Shi Lang, and Ye Ruliu, and he kept picking vegetables for Xie Yuan.

"Lao Shi, don't just clip it to me, your old man has to make up for it properly." Xie Yuan picked up a piece of fleshy tiger bone and put it into Shi Tianji's bowl.

"Thank you, brother." Shi Tianji simply picked up the tiger bone with his hand.

"Brother Shi Lang, you should also eat more." Ye Ruliu kept picking vegetables for Shi Lang.

"Yes, yes, you have to eat more." Shi Tianji gnawed on the tiger bones, and catered to Ye Ruliu's words.

"Hey, I suddenly remembered a question, I don't know if to talk about it?" Shi Tianji finished gnawing the tiger bones and wiped a handful of oil on his mouth, which became a little mysterious.

"Oh, Lao Shi, when did you become such a mother-in-law?" Shi Lang urged Shi Tianji.

Shi Tianji looked up at the monks of Jinguang Temple who were devouring the meat of the bear and tiger around him, then lowered his head, lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you say that this monk can't eat meat." Look at their ......" Shi Tianji deliberately made a gobble-up look.

"Lao Shi, you seem to be lonely and unheard. In fact, this monk is a vegetarian and does not eat meat, which is just a new precept derived from Buddhism after it was introduced to China. According to legend, in order to ensure the health of the disciples who were living by the Buddha, the Buddha Shakyamuni did not forcibly stipulate that Buddhist disciples must be vegetarians. In other words, in China, Buddhist precepts strictly prohibit Buddhists from eating meat, and in other regions, there is no such mandatory provision. Xie Yuan also seems to have studied Buddhism quite a bit.

"Oh, I was still wondering just now. Hearing my brother say this, I understand. If I become a monk in the future, I must find a way to become a monk in a foreign country. Shi Tianji looked suddenly clear.

"Lao Shi, you are a monk who does not forget to eat meat. However, with the amount of food you eat, I'm afraid that no temple will dare to take you in, and you won't have to empty people's food. Shi Lang joked with Shi Tianji.

"What can you eat? The person who can eat is strong. Shi Tianji retorted while eating.

"Brother Xie Yuan, when did you say that Chinese monks don't eat meat?" Ye Ruliu asked Xie Yuan.

According to legend, its roots lie in Emperor Wu of Liang, and it is said that after Buddhism was introduced to our country from India, at the beginning, monks could eat three pure meats. Later, Emperor Wu of Liang read a Buddhist scripture "Ranga Sutra", which has a text that says: "The Bodhisattva is so merciful and compassionate that he can't bear to eat the flesh of all living beings." Emperor Wu of Liang was very moved after reading it, and since then he has been a vegetarian since then. At that time, Emperor Wu of Liang was also the great protector of Buddhism, he ate vegetarian food, and other monks who dared to eat meat. Later, the vegetarian rule was clearly stipulated in the Buddhist precepts, and the monks in the country demanded that they no longer eat meat. Xie Yuan was so honest that he forgot to eat with vegetables, and when he understood that he wanted to add vegetables, the last piece of bear meat in the bowl was forcibly taken away by Shi Tianji.

"Brother, keep talking, keep talking!" Shi Tianji stuffed the meat into his mouth as quickly as he could, and while chewing the meat in his mouth, he urged Xie Yuan vaguely.

"Are you a starving ghost?" Xie Yuan didn't grab the meat, smiled bitterly, and said to Shi Tianji.

"What the hell does he care about, anyway, I'm full of food. Hiccup—" Shi Tianji deliberately put his head in front of Xie Yuan and gave a loud burp.

Xie Yuan was so angry that he twisted his head to the side and ignored Shi Tianji anymore.

"Brother Shi Lang, on the way to Heigu's house just now, she asked me if she could join our team and fight the thieves together." Ye Ruliu told Shi Lang and the team members present about Heigu's request, and Xie Yuan had known about it for a long time.

Why did she think this way? Shi Lang asked.

Ye Ruliu briefly told her family what she learned from Heigu on the road.

"This girl is really miserable." After listening to Ye Ruliu's words, Shi Tianji expressed deep sympathy for Heigu's plight.

"I think it's best to solve this problem through Li Ruzhu, after all, he is from the North Korean government." Xie Yuan interjected.

"After eating, I took the opportunity to report this issue to the commander and see his opinion." Shi Lang said thoughtfully.

After a hearty lunch, everyone felt a lot more refreshed.

Seeing Luo Shiyin walking out of the room after lunch, Shi Lang called him aside and reported Heigu's request to him.

After listening to Shi Lang's report, Luo Shiyin thought for a while, and asked Shi Lang to call Xiu Neng, Li Ruzhu and Xie Yuan, and the five of them squatted in a corner of the courtyard and began to discuss the issue of Hei Gu's enlistment.

Hei Gu and Ye Ruliu cleaned up everyone's used dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen.

"According to the North Korean military system, women are generally not recruited." Li Ruzhu heard that Heigu wanted to enlist in the army, and her face was embarrassed.

"But this girl is pitiful enough, and she has a good kung fu." Hunnen said with a sigh.

"If we take her away, it is unknown what her husband's opinion will be." Luo Shiyin cherishes talents like Heigu very much, and at present, everyone really needs a person like Heigu who is familiar with the local terrain to help everyone get out of the mountains.

However, Li Ruzhu, who represents the North Korean official, did not make a clear statement, and Luo Shiyin felt that it was better for him not to overstep his bounds. So, he didn't show his attitude.

"Actually, we really need a guide like Heigu right now." Hunneng expressed the same point of view as Luo Shiyin's heart.

"Why don't you ask her for help and take us out of the mountains, and as for whether we can accept her into the army, wait until her husband is fully recovered." Li Ruzhu seems to be asking for everyone's opinions.

"But what if she has to insist?" Hunneng said.

"That can't break the rules of the court." Li Ruzhu seems to disagree with accepting Heigu into the army.

In Luo Shiyin's view, there are two ways to accept Heigu: one is to let Heigu go to the court with Xiu Neng after leaving the mountain; The second is to let her join the squad and carry out activities with the squad.

This first way, Luo Shiyin already felt that this way was not going through from Li Ruzhu's speech and expression.

For the second way, Luo Shiyin was also a little undecided. Hei Gu is different from Ye Ruliu, although Hei Gu has a skill, but this wild mountain woman lacks the concept of organization and discipline that Ye Ruliu has. Strict organizational discipline is indispensable for carrying out reconnaissance missions deep behind enemy lines.

"Why don't we let Heigu be the guide first, and talk about other things later?" Hunneng asked, looking at everyone with an inquiring gaze.

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Li Ruzhu replied.

Luo Shiyin didn't speak, he nodded, agreeing with everyone's suggestion.

After Heigu was done, Li Ruzhu, together with Xiu Neng, Luo Shiyin and Xie Yuan, called Heigu aside and told her the opinions that everyone had just discussed.

"Heigu, in fact, there are many ways to kill thieves to avenge their relatives, for example, you help us get out of this vast mountain as soon as possible, and these Ming heroes can find out the enemy situation as soon as possible. When the time comes, as soon as the Ming Xiongshi arrives, he can kill all the thieves as soon as possible and avenge your hatred, which is much better than risking killing a few robbers yourself. Li Ruzhu said to Heigu.

"Okay, as long as you can avenge my son, let me do anything." Hei Gu thought for a while, and happily agreed to the request to be a guide.
