After all, Jiang Hyun is still at the age of growing his body, he is easy to be hungry and sleepy, he hurried for days, lay on the earthen kang, and came up with fatigue, and actually fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Lao Jing came over and woke up Jiang Xun. He originally wanted to ask Jing Wei to come over to deliver food, but he was afraid that Jing Wei would be reckless and collide with Jiang Xun, so he came over by himself.

Jiang Xun was woken up by Lao Jing, rubbed his eyes, and saw that Lao Jing had already brought in four Hu cakes, a chicken, a whole roasted pork leg and two pots of wine, and put them on the wooden table at the other end of the kang pot. Jiang Xun sat up and asked, "It's so rich, has Jing Lao eaten it?" ”

"No, no, the nobleman eats first."

Jiang Hyun looked out the window, if it is getting longer today, the sun is going west at this time, and it is about to sink in the west, maybe the unitary time is almost over. In the courtyard, Jing Wei placed three Hu beds around the grinding table, and Jing Zhen was also bringing the food over, but there was only a large bowl of sunflower soup and rice porridge.

Jiang Hyun thought of a way to talk about it, smiled, and said to Lao Jing: "I'm not used to eating alone, so I'm still eating with a few people, right?" ”

"This ......," Lao Jing was a little frightened, "how can this be done?" Noble ......"

Jiang Hyun didn't care about Lao Jing's polite obstruction, got up directly from the kang, and took the pork leg and chicken out. Lao Jing couldn't resist Jiang Xun, so he could only follow behind and bring out the Hu cake and two pots of wine.

Jing Wei and Jing Zhen saw Jiang Xun and Lao Jing coming out with wine and meat, and after a pause, Jiang Xun said, "I'm not used to eating alone, so I'm here to eat with you." So saying, he put the pork leg and the chicken on the grinding table.

Jing Zhen's girl's family is quite reserved, but Jing Wei couldn't help it for a long time, wiped her saliva, and said with a smile: "Hehe, okay!" So saying, he ran to the foot of the courtyard wall and got a hu bed. It is said that it is Hu bed, in fact, it is the Mazha of later generations, which was passed from the Xiongnu, and it is very popular among the people, and it is very popular with the people of Qianshou, although it is not liked by the scholars, but Liu Hong likes it very much today.

The twilight is sinking and the red sun is setting in the west, burning half of the sky red. Pedestrians on the official road became scarce, and those who occasionally hurried past were basically farmers returning home from the fields.

Jiang Xun sat down first, and under his greeting, Lao Jing's family of three also sat down, the Qianshou family is not so particular, basically they don't share food, and when the space is enough, women don't shy away from serving it. At first, Lao Jing's family of three still only ate the bowl of sunflower soup, but Jiang Xun repeatedly invited the three of them to eat meat, handed Jing Wei chicken legs, and poured wine for Lao Jing and Jing Wei, this atmosphere became more lively, but Jiang Xun always felt a little haze lingering during the period.

While eating, Jing Lao swallowed a mouthful of turbid wine, thought about it, and said: "This place is shabby, nobles must have noble things, don't be wronged here tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Jing Lao himself provoked the conversation first, Jiang Xun knew that the opportunity to ask questions had come, but he didn't answer Jing Lao's words, but started talking again, and asked tentatively: "Ah Wei, why did your brother and sister come to live in the pavilion, and what about the other pavilion guards?" ”

As soon as Jiang Hyun asked this, Jing Wei frowned, and pressed the cup heavily on the grinding table, so that it was not broken. Jing Wei snorted twice, and saw that Lao Jing wanted to stop him, but this person was a straight man, so he couldn't hold back his words for a long time, and he didn't go to see Lao Jing, so he said to Jiang Xun: "Isn't that the bird thief King Qiao?" ”

"Wang Qiao?" Jiang Xun finally found a breakthrough and immediately pursued after the victory: "Who is Wang Qiao?" ”

"A thief killed the pavilion chief, Li Kui and others, and several other pavilion guards were cowardly, but they were scared away by him!" Likui, that is, the chief.

Jing Wei said it succinctly, and Jiang Hyun understood what was going on, this was not the first time he had heard of bandits killing officials. asked Lao Jing again: "Who is this Wang Qiao, who dares to kill the pavilion chief?" ”

Now that Jing Wei has said it, Lao Jing no longer hides it, only listens to him sigh, his voice is hoarse, and he explains the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

Recently, a group of robbers has appeared here, and the leader is called Wang Qiao, who has plagued several surrounding village pavilions. Three days ago, this gang of robbers came here, the pavilion chief was also strong, with a few men to resist, the two sides fought, two thieves died, Wang Qiao was also a little injured, so he ran away, but threatened to come back in a few days to wash the blood here. However, Li Kui and Qiu Thief were killed, and the pavilion chief and pavilion father were seriously injured and died. Three of the six pavilion guards died, and two ran away, leaving only the old Jing. Lao Jing once went to the township to ask for help, but the township didn't dare to take care of it, and asked Jing Wei to go to the county for help, but when he arrived at the county seat, the county lieutenant Zhuang Xing directly sent Jing Wei back, and Jing Wei didn't even see the county commander Wei Ju.

Jiang Hyun couldn't help but feel worried, so he asked again, "But I don't know when they will come again?" ”

"That's it, right?"

"Then why didn't Jing Lao leave?"

"Alas......" Lao Jing patted his knee, as if there was an old disease there, and said, "At my age, where can I go?" But these two unscrupulous sons have to wait for me to die like this! ”

"Humph!" Jing Wei patted the grinding table and said, "The eldest husband is alive, what are you afraid of dying?" I wasn't at home last time, and if Wang Qiao comes again this time, I'll kill them all!" ”

Jiang Xun glanced at Jing Zhen again, Jing Zhen lowered her head, didn't meet Jiang Xun's gaze, and said, "Father and brother stay here, I won't go anywhere!" ”

Lao Jing patted Jing Wei's head heavily and scolded: "You pig and dog, that Wang Qiao has dozens of people, and they are all riding horses, you are alone, what are you fighting with others?" Have you caused me less trouble in the past few years? ”

"Yes," Jiang Xun wanted to try Jing Wei to see what he said, so he said: "If it is as Jing Lao said, Wang Qiao and his group are strong and strong, and in the Central Plains, horses are in demand, and they must not be easy to come from." You are strong, and you take Jing Lao and Zhen'er with you, you shouldn't be hungry, so you might as well run away. ”

Before, Jiang Xun was not stingy with money, and he was very polite to his family, Jing Wei had a good impression of him, but when he heard this, his eyes immediately showed contempt, and he said angrily: "You can't look at them and slaughter our entire Li and the whole pavilion!" If you die horizontally and vertically, it is better to fight, but it will not live up to the chivalrous name! "Jing Wei is a country light man, anxious for justice and righteousness, causing trouble, and naturally honing his courage.

Jiang Xun nodded, praised Jing Wei a lot, and said, "Okay! This is the place of death, and if you fight, you will survive, and if you don't fight, you will die. If you don't want to flee, you should fight to the death. I learned swords when I was a child, and I have been practicing swords for ten years now, and I am willing to help him! ”

"Haha......" Jing Wei sat on Jiang Xun's right hand, and when he heard this, he slapped Jiang Xun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Is this called a nobleman!" Jiang Hyun liked Jingwei's temperament in his heart, and he laughed when he looked at Jingwei's appearance. At this time, I was just about to ask Wang Qiao about the situation in detail, when I heard someone shouting.

"No...... Oh no! A villager stumbled in from outside the pavilion and went straight to the backyard, shouting as he ran, "Oh no! The thieves are coming! The thieves are coming! "The people in charge have all run away, and the thieves have come, and the people can only come here to find Lao Jing.

"Come on!" When Jiang Hyun heard this, he snorted, "Wait for me!" He immediately went into the house and took a long sword, and immediately came out, pointed to the farmer who had reported the news, and said to Jing Wei, "Bring your weapon and follow him." ”

There were five eight-foot-long halberds inserted on the shelves in the pavilion, Jing Wei pulled out two, one for himself, and threw one to the villager, and the two of them rushed out of the pavilion with Jiang Xun, and Lao Jing and Jing Zhen also hurriedly followed.

A few steps out of the pavilion, I saw a group of people surrounding a farmhouse, the people were far around the farmhouse, among them there were many young men, holding sickles and forks, but no one dared to step forward, thinking that Wang Qiao and a group of robbers were frightened. The people are talking about it, they are all "not only robbing food", "also robbing children", "this child is really pitiful, his parents just died of illness, and he was robbed again!" Something like that. The sound of a child crying could be heard in the house.

Jiang Xun took Lao Jing's family of three to come forward, thinking that it was a thief, so he hid in the house, and kidnapped the child, and then asked the surrounding people, "How many people are there?" ”

"One."

"One?"

The crying of children kept coming out of the house, and then the thief in the house also spoke: "Hurry up and bring in some food, only women can come in!" When they heard this, the women around them were so frightened that they took several steps back, and they avoided them, and none of them dared to step forward.

Seeing this, Jing Zhen frowned, full of worry about the children in the house, and resolutely said, "I'll go!" As he spoke, he took the two bowls of dried bean rice that had been prepared from an old woman, and was about to enter the house.

Jiang Hyun's hand was quick, and he grabbed Jing Zhen and said, "Don't worry, there is me." ”

Jiang Hyun let go of Jing Hao, handed the long sword to Jing Wei, and took over two bowls of dried bean rice himself. What Jiang Hyun didn't notice was that it was Jing Hao's hand that he was holding just now, and at this time Jing Zhen was very shy, so she hurriedly withdrew her hand, held her hands on her chest, and pressed them against her chin, her face was full of shame, but it was probably because it was already dark, and no one noticed her embarrassment.

Jiang Hyun held two bowls of dried bean rice, stood outside the door and said, "There are two bowls of rice, one for you and one for that little child, can I go in and deliver rice?" ”

Kang Hyun is also sixteen years old, a little precocious, and his voice has become almost the same, but he can still be heard as a half-grown teenager. The man in the room heard that it was not an adult man, so he relieved himself and said in a loud voice: "I am not in a hurry, but this child is hungry, you can come in first." ”

Jing Wei picked up the halberd and reminded Jiang Xun in a low voice, "Be careful." ”

"No problem." Jiang Hyun shook his head at Jing Wei, and walked in like this, in order not to be too wary of the thieves, he didn't bring the long sword. Jing Wei stuck Jiang Hyun's long sword in his belt, and the palms of his hands holding the halberd were already sweating, and he was ready to rush in as soon as he heard something wrong.
