The third child came back and described Shuzhen's majestic scene in the city vividly. Hearing this, everyone stared at each other, and even Ma Chenghu was surprised and admired and praised again and again. And deeply feel that these two people are not small, and their abilities are not ordinary. While rejoicing, I also felt a little uneasy in my heart.

After everyone laughed and frolicked, Xiangzi came to Ma Chenghu and said with a slightly worried expression: "I don't think it's a matter for the brothers to only eat dry food all day, anyway, I'm idle and fine, I want to take a few brothers out to try my luck and see if I can get something to eat." ”

Ma Chenghu hesitated for a moment, smiled and said: "Yes, except for a little grain on the mountain, there are a few camels that can eat, and the horses can't move, and I haven't seen vegetables for a few months." The brothers who ate it couldn't pull. ”

After a pause, Ma Chenghu made an embarrassed look and said, "It's just that it's too hard for you, and you'll ...... after only a few days."

Xiangzi looked disappreciative, and said with a smile: "They are all their own brothers, and they still say that they are not hard." When I went up the mountain, I brought some loose money to see if I could get some greens. ”

Ma Chenghu sneered with an embarrassed face: "You see that I treat this family as a family, hey......"

Xiangzi smiled heartily and said, "Don't say anything, give me five clever brothers." ”

Ma Chenghu shook his head with shame, and shouted at the kiln: "Ga Wuzi, take four neat ones, go down the mountain with Yang Dangjia, work harder, don't embarrass me." ”

Shoko asked them to wrap their guns in felt and tie them behind their horses, and then they staggered down the mountain. After turning a few intersections, I didn't encounter a delicious deal.

Seeing that the sun was about to turn red, Xiangzi took his hand to shade the sun and looked around for a while, and saw that in the distance to the west, there was a faint piece of greenery covering the ground. So he beckoned his brothers and galloped over.

Bypassing an elm forest, on the scorched yellow earth, there was an unexpected watermelon field. Xiangzi told the brothers to dismount from a distance, and repeatedly settled down without showing their gangsterism, and pretending to be the same as passers-by.

When the melon planter saw a group of people walking towards the garden, he greeted him with a suspicious face. Xiangzi said with a smile on his face: "This melon grows so well, is it ripe?" ”

The expression on the melon farmer's face seemed to be a little more lively, and he stepped forward and said: "This stubble is an autumn melon, and it has just begun to ripen for miles, so it can be eaten." ”

Xiangzi smiled with relief and said, "Then get a few to eat first, and take some with you." This way can make people thirsty. ”

The melon farmer slapped and fiddled with the melon, and said in his mouth: "It's going to, right?" ”

Xiangzi was slightly stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Well, it's going to Yanji." There was no water to drink all the way to this damn place. ”

The melon farmer smiled and said, "You can see the melon field, which can be regarded as a mile of creation." After ten or so days, I sold melons in the melon shed at the intersection. ”

As he spoke, he hugged three large watermelons, patted them with his hands and said, "That is, eight or nine are ripe, and the seeds have changed, but the seeds have not all turned black." ”

As he spoke, he took a knife and cut one, and the pink melon pulp was filled with crystal sweet water, which made people can't help but swallow a mouthful of sticky things. Several people glanced at Xiangzi with blank eyes, and they couldn't wait to swallow it.

After eating and puffing his stomach, Xiangzi accompanied the melon farmer to pick melons and glanced around the melon field. I accidentally found that there was a small piece of celery planted in a corner of the melon field, and the growth was quite good. So he excitedly said to the melon farmer: "Is that celery also yours?" ”

The melon farmer said disdainfully: "Hey, that corner land is high, and it can't be watered well, so let's sprinkle celery seeds." ”

Shoko asked expectantly, "Can you sell me celery?" ”

The melon farmer looked indifferent and said, "If you want to eat, you can cut it yourself, it's not worth anything." ”

So, Shoko instructed the brothers to cut celery with knives.

When the horse caravan loaded with watermelons and celery returned to the cottage, the brothers were jubilant, and the joy and excitement were really more lively than the New Year.

Ma Chenghu shouted and killed a camel, a big pot of camel meat and roasted celery, which could eat the brothers beautifully. After a few glasses of wine, Ma Chenghu took advantage of the wine and shouted at the brothers: "Brothers, from now on, Yang Biao is your second master, and the jade-faced fox is your third master." ”

Everyone ate the melons that Xiangzi bought, and they already had a good impression of Xiangzi in their hearts. So, most of the people came over to toast Shoko and Shuzhen. But the three brothers, led by the big man, looked at Xiangzi with a look of disdain and said, "If you are in charge, do you want to show some ability to the brothers, otherwise how can people be convinced?" ”

Others were also coaxing, and Ma Chenghu was about to get up and say something, but was stopped by Xiangzi waving his hand. I saw that Xiangzi secretly threw a look at Shuzhen, took out a pebble and raised it in his hand, and flew to the oil lamp ten meters away with a shake of his hand.

Shuzhen then shook her jade wrist, and a little cold star went straight to the stone. Just as the oil lamp was skimming, the two objects met. In the empty cave, there was a crisp sound, and the oil lamp was extinguished instantly.

After a deathly silence, there was a thunderous cheer in the hall.

Before the cheers fell, Xiangzi and Shuzhen twisted their bodies and pulled out their pistols at the same time, snapping twice, and the two oil lamps twenty meters away were extinguished at the same time, leaving only two wisps of green smoke, floating there.

After a short period of silence, the brothers in the hall rushed up as if they had discussed, knelt down on their knees, and said in unison: "Welcome to the second master, the third master." ”

Xiangzi and Shuzhen stepped forward and saluted: "Brothers, please be even, since you enter this door, you are a family." From now on, we will share blessings and difficulties. Under the leadership of the great masters, the brothers will be able to live a good life. ”

At this time, Ma Chenghu also came over, said with admiration and a complicated smile: "Oh, the two of you are really good, let me open my eyes." Immediately, he said to the brothers who were whispering: "Brothers, the village has a second master and a third master, just as a flame has dry wood." Come, let's toast the two of you together. ”

Everyone happily should co-author, and they toasted Xiangzi and Shuzhen with a mouthful of tongues. In the hall, there is a sense of festivity and peace. Only the laughter on Ma Chenghu's face seemed to be mixed with a little jealousy and uneasiness. Of course, these subtle expressions can only be perceived by old rivers and lakes like Xiangzi and Juanzi.

Since Xiangzi and Juanzi showed their unique skills, the brothers on the mountain have already admired the five-body throwing to the ground. Every time I go out to work, I scramble to follow Shoko. And Xiangzi always takes into account Ma Chenghu's feelings, and asks him to send someone every time. And Ma Chenghu, although he said that you should look at it yourself, but in fact he still didn't want to let go of his brothers and hand them over to Xiangzi.

The two skies returned hand in hand, and on the third day, as soon as the sun shone directly on their heads, they saw a fork in the distance and turned into a large caravan. Five wagons, ten escorts carrying guns.

Shoko came to his senses when he saw it, and he beckoned the brothers to pay attention to concealment, and no one was allowed to shoot without his orders. Then, he took the Mosin Nagant 762 rifle from the brother behind him, set the ruler, and chose a new firing position. When the caravan was about 250 meters away, Shoko suddenly opened fire, and the escort who was walking in front of him fell under the horse.

The caravan immediately panicked, dismounted and stopped, and took refuge. Shoko unhurriedly pushed the bullet, glanced at the other party, and changed the shooting position. Seeing that someone on the other side showed half of his shoulder, Shoko raised his gun to shoot, and the man fell to the ground again.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and Xiangzi jumped up and stood on the boulder and shouted loudly: "Friends on the other side, if you know each other, put down your arms and surrender obediently, I guarantee that you are in good condition." If not, I will shoot one and you, and none of you will live. ”

It was quiet on the other side as if there was no one, and after a while, Shoko said again: "I know that you are also working for others, and you are taking the money for selling your life." However, there is only one life, is it worth it for you to be finished? There are still old people and children waiting for you to raise at home. It's better to die than to live, just lay down your weapons, and I'll give you a way to live. You only lost your goods, but your life is still there. ”

There was silence for a while, and someone on the other side slowly revealed. Shoko thought he was going to surrender or have something to say, but unexpectedly, the man didn't say a word, raised his gun and shot at Shoko.

Xiangzi stared at the other party with a Type 79 rifle, it was difficult to hurt himself at this distance, so he raised the gun with one hand in a hurry, and when the other party's gunfire rang out, Xiangzi quickly raised the gun, and with the sound of the gun, the man's body shook a few times, and then fell softly behind the big stone.

At this time, Xiangzi shouted sharply: "I count to five, if I don't raise my gun and surrender, we will kill him, and not a single one will be left alive." ”

These words really worked, and someone on the other side began to raise their guns and slowly stand up. Xiangzi counted the number of people enough, and said to his brothers, rush over, don't mess around, don't shoot and hurt people. So, a group of people rushed over with a fake tiger.

The goods on the car are quite right, tea, edible salt, various spices, and smoked horse meat. The people who were shot were lucky and didn't hurt their bones.

Xiangzi glanced at the trembling escorts, and the wounded with blood on their shoulders and a face full of pain and frustration, and said coldly, "Are you going home?" Or go up the mountain and live a happy life with us? ”

A big man with a bleeding shoulder, like a leader, trembled for a moment, and said with a look of despair and despair: "The goods are lost, and there is no good job to go back, if the king can give us food, stay and serve the king." ”

Xiangzi laughed and said, "Wow, we will be brothers in the future." As he spoke, he took out a packet of medicinal powder and threw it over and said, "Jin Chuangyao, pack the wound." ”

In this transaction, not only did he get back the goods that could be sold to the locals, but also collected a dozen young and strong men and ten good guns. This is the first step to strengthen the copycat force.
