Chapter 2: Bandits Have No Faith

Through the old man's words, Han Xuan can deduce that he should have been chased and killed by a group of thieves before, was seriously injured and fell into a ravine, and was rescued by an old man who happened to pass by. Han Xuan kept reassuring himself that his body was only about eleven years old, and even if he couldn't become a military general with diligent exercise, he could at least defend himself, and the top priority was to heal his injuries first. So he stayed in the old man's house for more than half a month, and the old man fed soup and medicine for half a month, and took care of Han Xuan wholeheartedly, Han Xuan's injuries got better quickly, and he had already regarded the old man as his own relative.

One day, Han Xuan had just finished practicing radio gymnastics and did dozens of push-ups and returned to the house, but when he saw the old man kneeling beside him and crying, Han Xuan asked eagerly, "What's wrong, Uncle Su, what's so sad?" The old man told the story: It turned out that the old man's name was Su Lie, who lived in Lingwu Village, Luo County, Changsha County, and had two sons, the eldest son joined the army at the age of fifteen. The second son and daughter-in-law settled in Luo County, and the two had a daughter named Su Qiaoer, who was about the same age as Han Xuan. Su Qiaoer has a good relationship with her grandfather Su Lie, and often comes to visit Su Lie, but her second son Su Zhong and daughter-in-law do not come to visit all year round. The Han Dynasty respected filial piety, and the behavior of the second son and daughter-in-law was also despised by the neighbors. The bandit sent a message, saying that he would tear up the ticket if he didn't hand over 100,000 yuan within ten days. For a while, Su Zhong and his wife looked around for someone to borrow money, but the amount was too large and it was difficult to get it together for a while.

Han Xuan asked, "Why don't you report it to the government?" Su Lie cried, "The county magistrate of Naluo County is also a person who is greedy for money and afraid of death, and the thieves of Yamen Village have gathered thousands of people, and the terrain is dangerous, so he shirked it on the grounds that it was difficult for the officers and soldiers to conquer, and even took the opportunity to extort money from my son." Han Xuan was filled with indignation after hearing this, no matter what era corrupt officials are moths of society, in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, selling official beards was prevalent, and this county order was just a small fly. Han Xuan comforted Su Lie and said, "I still have some money here, which should be enough to redeem Qiao'er." Su Lie: "How can you let the son break the bank, the son should not be old." Han Xuan: "Fortunately, Uncle Su rescued me, and I took care of him during this time, I have long regarded Uncle Su as a relative, and your relatives are my relatives." And don't call me Gongzi anymore, just call me Xuan'er. ”

Han Xuan decided to go to Su Qiao'er's parents first, and then inquire about the location of Yamenzhai. Su Lie took Han Xuan to Luo County to find Su Zhong's house, only to see that the person who opened the door was a pale person in his thirties, who should be Su Zhong, and when he saw his elderly father Su Zhong's face was ashamed, he immediately introduced the two into the house. When he came to the main hall, he heard sobs from the inner room, Su Zhong looked embarrassed, "Inside is the inner son Liu, Qiao'er was robbed, and my husband and wife are also heartbroken!" But said that when Liu heard the visitor, he walked out, and when he saw that the person who came was her father-in-law, he immediately showed a mean look: "Who should I be, it turned out to be an old and useless thing, and we still need to raise it, husband, when will we raise enough money to save my Qiao'er." Pity my Yu'er died young, if Qiao'er had another accident, I wouldn't be alive."

Han Xuan was furious when he heard this, he thought that the ancient women were all virtuous and virtuous, but he didn't expect to see the first woman when he crossed over to see such a face. Looking at Su Zhong in shame, he lowered his head in shame, this should be the ancient fear of his wife, Su Lie thought of Qiao'er and burst into tears. Han Xuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and scolded: "Enough, you shrew!" Uncle Su is your father-in-law, as a daughter-in-law, you are not filial piety, but speak ill of each other, you really have no shame. After that, he took out all the silver on his body, "I don't know how much 100,000 yuan is, these should be enough." Looking at the silver on the table, Liu cast a greedy gaze, "I don't know if this son has a big name, if you can save Qiao'er, you are the great benefactor of our family, we really don't know how to repay you." Han Xuan said disdainfully: "I saved Su Qiao'er to repay Uncle Su for saving his life, if you want to thank Uncle Su, thank Uncle Su!" ”

On the last day of the agreed deadline of the bandits, Su Zhong took Su Lie and Han Xuan to Yamen Village. I saw that the gate of Yamen Village was built on the two mountainsides, the city wall was piled up with mountain stones, more than a dozen thieves patrolled back and forth on the city wall, there were arrow towers on both sides, and the mountain behind Yamen Village was a cliff, Han Xuan sighed that this Yamen Village was really a good place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The little minions on the city wall saw the three people, and immediately reported to the village, and after a while, they saw the gate of the village open, and four thieves riding jujube yellow horses rushed out with a group of small minions. The swarthy man led by him was wearing chain mail, with a scar on his face and a fierce look in his eyes, he should be the leader of the bandits. I saw the bandit leader raise the spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear pointed at Han Xuan and the three people, "You are here to ransom people, have you raised enough money for 100,000 yuan?" Han Xuan stepped forward and said, "I don't have 100,000 yuan...."The bandit leader said angrily, "I didn't come back to do anything, go back and prepare to collect your daughter's body!" After speaking, he glared at a thin bandit beside him. Han Xuan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Su Qiao'er is a woman, the king kidnapped her just to extort money, don't you get nothing if you kill Su Qiao'er, you say yes." The bandit leader looked at Han Xuan with interest and said, "You yellow-haired boy is also interesting, Su Qiao'er, this little girl has a bit of a look, it's a pity to kill it, it's better to stay and be my wife of the village!" ”

Han Xuan was puzzled that Su Qiao'er was only eleven or twelve years old, and at such a young age, a thief also wanted to play and cultivate it in ancient times? Su Zhong was anxious after hearing this, it turned out that ancient women could marry over the age of fourteen, this Su Qiaoer is about to get married, the Su family has such a daughter as her, Su Zhong naturally wants to find her a good mother-in-law, especially the Liu family should want her to marry a rich family. Han Xuan took out the silver in the package and said to the bandit leader, "King, I was interrupted by you before I finished speaking, I said that there is no 100,000 copper coins, but I have silver, I think these should be enough to redeem Su Qiao'er" Looking at the silver shining in the sun, the bandit leader showed greed, and then calmed down, "Okay, take it" Han Xuan immediately took the silver back, "The silver can be given to you, but you have to pay the money with one hand and the other hand." After hearing this, the bandit leader immediately ordered the two minions around him to enter the walled gate. After a while, two minions walked out with an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, only to see that the little girl had clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red powder, thin lips like rose petals delicate and delicate. This Su Qiao'er is really a beautiful embryo, no wonder the bandit leader wants to occupy her, Han Xuan couldn't help but secretly admire.

As soon as Su Qiao'er saw Su Lie and Su Zhong, tears flowed out of her eyes, "Ah Weng, father, save me!" Su Lie also cried and comforted: "Qiao'er, don't be afraid, Ah Weng will definitely save you." Han Xuan couldn't see this big family crying the most, so he took out the silver and said to the bandit leader, "Okay, let them go!" At this time, the bandit leader said: "I suddenly changed my mind, Su Qiao'er I can let her go." I want the silver, you, I want it too! Han Xuan scolded: "You thief is not trustworthy!" The bandit leader laughed and said, "Boy, you talk to the bandits about faithfulness. Don't forget, there are only three of you, and this is on my territory, and I can arrest you all at any time if I give the order! Han Xuan said angrily: "Then what do you want?" The bandit leader pointed at Han Xuan and said, "Boy, I advise you to get acquainted." I can let them go, I see that you are the son of a big family, and it is also very interesting, I want you to stay and play for me Zhao Heihu! ”

Han Xuanzhen didn't expect this bandit leader to be so good at routines, those costume dramas and romance novels are really harmful, who said that thieves talk about faith? Now, is it okay to say yes or yes or yes to yes? Do I have a choice, of course it is important to save my life.
