Gao Yuan was interested, and talked in public about how Zhou Nan came face to face with the tiger, how he was close to him, and how he killed the tiger with a hunting knife. When everyone heard it, they were even more surprised, Dudao had never even heard of this method of fighting tigers, but Zhou Dalang was extraordinarily courageous. An old hunter, Chen Laoqi, said: "There are tigers on this mountain, but I haven't seen anyone fight them for many years." A few years ago, the leather merchants of the Song people who lived in Yizhou City also bid 300 guan to find a tiger skin, 300 guan! Three hundred fingers stretched out, said Gao Yuan's eyebrows and smiled, said Gao Shouzhong, Gao Shouxiao and other young people are gearing up, and they will go up the mountain to fight tigers. Zuo Xiaosi couldn't help but rub to Zhou Nan's side, reached out to touch Zhou Nan's shoulders and arms, and asked, "Isn't it that Laojun's cave was attacked by heavenly thunder, and Da Lang has a divine possession?" Zhou Nan smiled: "Don't talk nonsense. It was Brother Gao who shot the tiger at the end that saved me from making tiger food. Everyone didn't believe it, but Zhou Nan was carried down after the lightning strike outside Laojun's cave, but he was in a good manner, and he was able to take everyone to catch the boar alive, protect the food, and dare to kill the tiger closely. This makes the people in the village even more convinced that this week's Dalang was sent by the mountain god grandfather to benefit the neighbors, and Dalang is there, and it is also the creation of the Gaojiazhai people.

Everyone is hustling, leading men and women, all vying to eat tiger meat and drink soup, the Tao is to clear the poisonous sores after eating tiger meat, and the tigers and wild boars will avoid walking on the mountain. The crowd was lively and dispersed.

A few days later, Zhou Nan was at home, and suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "Dalang, there is a distinguished guest coming to the door." Come out quickly. Zhou Nan wondered in his heart, he didn't know a few people in this barren mountains and mountains, where did he come from?

When Zhou Nan went out to look, it was Hu Dugu, and the six or seven guards accompanying him were all riding horses, and there were several pack horses behind him, carrying things on their backs. didn't have time to take a closer look, Zhou Nan stepped forward to Hu Dugu to see the ceremony, and Hu Dugu said: "Zhou Yishi is invited." My little lady said, grateful for the kindness of the righteous people, there is nothing to repay, after returning to the house, I ordered the villain to bring a thank you gift to Zhou Yishi, please accept the righteous man, otherwise, my little lady will not be a man, thank you lightly. Hu Dugu's words this time were even more sincere, and he spoke with a little more respect than last time, Zhou Nan was inconvenient to refuse by Hu Dugu's words, so he had to invite everyone into the house and sit down.

Hu Dugu first commanded the guards to move the gifts given by the girl to Zhou Nan's house one by one, one hundred and twenty pieces of silk, eighty horses of colored satin, and two hundred stones of grain, which were given to Zhou Nan and Gao Yuan, and three hundred taels of silver were given to Zhou Nan. Someone had already called Gao Yuan to Zhou Nan's house, and Gao Yuan was also very happy to see Hu Dugu, so he wanted to buy a banquet to entertain everyone. Hu Dugu hurriedly refused: "I have written down the right to drink this meal, and I have to rush back to the city today, so let's bother it another day." Saying that, he got on the horse and wanted to leave, Gao Yuan and Zhou Nan were sent to the outside of the village, Hu Dugu left on the horse, let the guards go first, dismounted and said to Zhou Nan: "When I came, my little lady instructed that there were a few words to convey to Zhou Yishi." Zhou Nan stepped forward, Hu Dugu whispered to Zhou Nan: "My little lady said: I met with Dalang in the mountains, and I felt that I was very much like a friend for many years. After speaking, Hu Dugu's stout man was flushed and extremely embarrassed. The princess originally wanted the maid to come and tell her, but she changed her mind before leaving, and it was difficult for him, a vulgar man, to tell him in front of Zhou Nan. Zhou Nan asked: "Is your lord the eldest prince of the current emperor?" In fact, Zhou Nan had already guessed a few points since he heard the girl tell him last night.

Hu Dugu nodded and said: "Don't hide the righteousness, the lord is the eldest son of the current emperor, Yelu Aolu, the king of Jin, and the little lady is the current emperor and the princess of Shu Yelu Yu Liyan." Zhou Nan nodded, but he was hesitating in his heart, although the King of Jin and the princess of Shu were extremely noble, they did not act like half a wealthy arrogance, not only sent people back to the tiger, but also specially asked people to send thanks. It's just that well-wishers don't have a good reward, and within a year, this younger brother was strangled to death by his father's order, and his sister was arrested after Jin Bing captured Yanjing, and was bullied to death by Wanyan Zongwang.

Zhou Nan's heart appeared in Yelu Yu Liyan's beautiful face and slender figure, and it was the first time he was so hesitant. He didn't want to interfere with changing time and space, but when it came to the end, he couldn't really sit on the sidelines.

Zhou Nan's brows furrowed, even if he said it, he couldn't explain it, who would believe it?

Hu Dugu looked at Zhou Nan's expression strangely, but he didn't bother. Zhou Nan stomped his foot hard, damn, I was passed through, did anyone ask me? I just don't interfere. But when he thought of the opportunity he had been looking forward to, and the opportunity to be inexplicably worn back, Zhou Nan was deflated again. To Hu Dugu said: "In the spring of next year, if the king and princess of Jin are not allowed by the adulterer, please invite the king and princess of Jin to Kaifeng of the Great Song Kingdom, and find a very good friend of mine, called Tie Shuzhang, under the bridge of Xiandu in Kaifeng, my friend is good at measuring words and fortunes, and will be able to solve problems for you." Please be sure to tell the princess. ”

Where does Zhou Nan have any friends, let alone any ironclad calculations, he just wants the two brothers and sisters to leave the place of right and wrong.

Hu Dugu recounted it and wrote it down, and then got on his horse and left.

In the blink of an eye, it was a little colder, and Gao Yuan and Zhou Nan discussed these days to hunt some deer, muntjac and the like, so as to make a few robes and jackets. It happened that Zuo Xiaosi, Gao Shouzhong, Shouxiao and others also had this intention, so they hit it off, everyone packed up their equipment, discussed the hunting ground, and decided to go to Baishipo, where the mountains and forests are dense, the path is difficult to walk, and few people go, so Gao Yuan and a few people discussed going there.

As soon as the morning dawned, Gao Yuan, Zhou Nan, Zuo Xiaosi, Zhou Fu and others went up the mountain with their belongings. A group of more than a dozen people carried bows and knives on their backs and headed towards Baishipo.

Before I knew it, the sun was already setting in the west, and when it was time for Shen, the people in the village began to cook. The firewood cut from the mountain, the white smoke coming out of the fire, the whole village was immersed in tranquility.

Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves, accompanied by a "whoop...... Dozens of people rode horses to the stockade, the first one was a big black man, wearing a collar of leather robes, leather boots, holding the reins in one hand, waving the steel knife in the hand in the other, and shouted loudly: "I am the second master of Crouching Tiger Mountain, Zhu Fu, who heard that someone in your village hit a tiger, and he is looking for a tiger skin to serve my eldest brother. While instructing the little minions to enter the house and loot, the chickens and dogs jumped in the village for a while.

A little minion had already asked for the location of Zhou Nan's house, and eagerly led Zhu Fu, the second master of Wohu Mountain, to Zhou Nan's house. When they arrived at Zhou Nan's house, they broke into the door, and the minions swarmed up, and immediately turned Zhou Nan's dilapidated house upside down, but these thieves didn't know that this was not Zhou Nan's house, but just a lofty old house. Since Zhou Nan crossed here, he has been accustomed to putting everything in Gaoyuan's house, except for sleeping things. Therefore, in addition to the deserted stone houses and wooden beds, firewood and gray cold stoves, there is a lot of cobweb dust.

The bandits found nothing and went away in defeat. Turning back to the lawn, there were already some bandits gathered in front of the cottage, carrying them on their shoulders, all of them were snatched from the stockade, and there were a few women who looked thoughtful, crying for their fathers and mothers, tied up by ropes, and stood on the side. Zhu Fu, the clouded leopard, saw that the minions had robbed a lot, grinned with joy, and was about to order to go back to the cottage, but saw a few thieves carrying silk and grain with a few horses, and rushed over, one of them also had a package in his hand, came to Zhu Fu approached, raised his burden and reported loudly: "The second is in charge, the small ones have found the tiger skin, and found the silk silk and grain." Zhu Fu laughed and said: "Your credit is not small, and when you return to the village, you will definitely be rewarded." He also said: "Little ones, this time, I don't have to go down the mountain for a long time, and these beautiful little ladies will be taken away together." The thieves shouted, mounted their horses, put the women on their horses, waved their whips, and roared away. A few minions running behind, when passing through the gate of the wall, the torch in their hands was thrown to the gate, and the autumn was dry, and the gate was immediately ignited.
