The sun, which turned red and white, pressed softly on the old elm tree at the top of the slope. The sky is clear, and there are a few lonely white clouds floating. The breeze blew, and the messy artemisia grass, nodding and hunching, tried their best to show off their coquettishness.

In front of the grave of the leopard head Wang Chong, dozens of brothers knelt together, regretting and sincerely worshipping. The scene is solemn, reflecting the brothers' true feelings for the big leader.

Juanzi led everyone through the worship ceremony, jumped on a big stone by the grave in a heroic manner, waved at the brothers, and said, "Please come to the front of the line, in front of the big boss, I have a few things to discuss with the brothers." ”

Before the words fell, dozens of brothers rushed forward and lined up in front of Juanzi in order.

Juanzi glanced at everyone with relief, and said as if confident: "Today is the 100-day death day of the big boss, since the bad luck of the big boss, there are many brothers, shouting to avenge the big boss, but I have not moved." Today, I want to ask everyone, who should I find to report the hatred of the big boss, and how to report it? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and Jiang Ping, the monkey who climbed the mountain, stepped forward and said: "Kill the county seat, step on the county government!" ”

The brothers responded one after another, and the chaotic shouts suddenly resounded through the valley.

After a while, Juanzi said patiently and earnestly: "I know that the brothers have a deep friendship with the big boss, and they are eager to avenge the big boss, so why don't I."

However, the brothers have thought about whether we can attack the county seat by relying on our people and the guys in our hands. Even if you enter the city and level the county government, what can you do? Within a few days, a new county government was born.

In their eyes, we are still heinous bandits, we still have to think of ways to pursue and suppress, and we still have to live in hiding in Tibet. Moreover, because we take revenge blindly, we will definitely take the lives of many brothers, which is the last thing the big boss wants to see. Therefore, before leaving, the big boss left a message, not to avenge him, and let me take my brothers to live a stable life. ”

After another period of silence, a few leaders shouted to you, and I shouted one by one: "Third sister, you are now the new master, what you say, what you do, brothers have nothing to say." ”

For a while, the cheers of Juanzi shook the valley again.

Juan Ziyuan opened her phoenix eyes and glanced at everyone kindly. The voice said firmly: "Since the brothers look up to me and push me to be the big boss, then I will announce a few things in front of the old boss." ”

Seeing that everyone gradually quieted down, they were listening to her intently. Then he continued: "This first one, from now on, we will no longer engage in robbery for a living. ”

As soon as the words fell, they immediately exchanged their heads and whispered.

Juanzi deliberately cleared her throat and waited for the brothers to calm down. smiled slightly, and then said, "Everyone may be worried, what will we eat if you don't rob us?" At this point, please rest assured, brothers, that we not only have food, but also eat better than now. ”

Seeing that the crowd was excited again, Juanzi slowed down her voice and continued: "Most of the people present are farmers who are farming, because of the exploitation and oppression of the landlord and the government, and the endless recruitment of soldiers and grain, and the life is really unbearable, so they left their hometown and went to the mountains to become bandits. Just imagine, if you have land in your own hands and don't pay taxes on grain, are you still willing to be bandits? ”

Everyone, suddenly shouted noisily: "If that's the case, who would be willing to carry a bandit name." ”

Juanzi nodded with satisfaction and said, "In the eyes of outsiders, we are bandits who do all kinds of evil, but we can't help but treat ourselves as human beings. Eating is not only by robbing this road, but also by the days when the old master is there, he plans to expand some more land. These days, I've been walking around the surrounding villages again.

In the village, most of the young and middle-aged people are catching and running, and there are old people, children and women left in the family. The land is barren and no one cultivates, and the family is short of money and food.

Therefore, the big boss has long planned to connect the abandoned land into a piece. Those who have owners are given annual rents, and those who have no owners are divided into public land in the village. I estimated that if I got used to these field tasks, one year's harvest would be enough for the village to eat for three years. Not only do we have to farm the land, but we also have to raise pigs and sheep and build new houses. When we become popular, we will marry the brothers who beat the singles. We are a big family, and we are living a prosperous life. ”

Everyone listened to this, and there was a burst of joy. Waiting for everyone to happily quarrel for a while. The mountain monkey stepped forward and shouted suspiciously: "Can the government let us live and farm in peace?" ”

Juanzi smiled indifferently and said, "I've thought about this too." As the saying goes, if the people don't sue the officials, they won't look for it. As long as we don't commit any more crimes, the government will not easily come to our door.

In addition, a few days ago, I sent someone to the county seat to let the wind blow. said that the leopard's head was dead, and the cottage broke up. In the coming days, I still have plans, and this is the second one. ”

After the brothers were silent, Juanzi continued: "It's not that we are really afraid of showing weakness to the government. It's about buying us time, secretly recruiting troops, and accumulating strength. At the same time, the two adjacent cottages are united, and each other is a horn. Once an officer or soldier comes to attack, we can coordinate with each other and fight the enemy together. ”

When the monkey heard this, he looked disdainful, and shouted: "I'm afraid this road won't work, when the old master was alive, his own brother who was injured by the gunshot and shocked three times is still a lame man." The two are simply mortal rivals. ”

Juanzi smiled indifferently and said: "In this world, there is no eternal hatred, only eternal interests. I believe that the big boss of Niutou Mountain will know the general situation and go to the small suspicions. ”

After a pause, Juanzi smiled and glanced at the brothers, and then said, "Among the brothers, have you ever done business or opened a shop?" Go back and tell me the total, and that's the third point I'm going to say.

We want to open shops, restaurants, and tea stalls in the county seat and along the intersections. That is, to do business, it is also the eyeliner of the copycat. Inside and outside the city, as soon as there is any disturbance, the stockade will immediately know it, so that we can calmly respond to the battle. ”

Dozens of brothers, thunderous applause, excitedly shouted: "Support the big boss!" Support the big bosses! ．．．．．．”

After determining the direction, Juanzi led people to first investigate the surrounding villagers door to door.

The villagers not only agreed with Juanzi's idea, but also took the initiative to hand over the idle pen to Juanzi to raise sheep and pigs.

After settling down, Juanzi personally led people to see the location, and opened more than a dozen shops and tea stalls one after another. Brothers, they are all busy in an orderly manner.
