When he went back that night, Yang Congyi summoned the catchers and told them about going to the back mountains to carry grain. It is rare to go to the back mountain, and you need to use this opportunity to find out the situation, inquire more about the details of the bandits who have just gone up the mountain, and if you confirm that there is no news of fugitives, create some contradictions, and go down the mountain immediately. If there are fugitives, find a way to get in touch.

Three months, more than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, there is no news of the fugitive, and you can't stay on Nipple Mountain for a long time, so you need to seize the opportunity to fight quickly.

Early in the morning of the third day, Yang Congyi took a group of 12 people to go to the right village to wait for the orders of the second leader.

After a while, I saw two more teams of people, and after a little inquiry, I knew that they were people from the left village and the right village, and the two teams were all under the mountain of thirty people, which was much more than Yang Congyi's people, and the team was huge.

Although there are a lot of people in Qianzhai, they basically have garrison tasks, and it is impossible to leave for a long time, only Yang Congyi is new to them, and no specific tasks have been arranged.

In the past, the rations of Qianzhai were directly sent to the Qianzhai warehouse every month, and this time Qianzhai had to move it by itself, and I heard that it was a bumper harvest of grain this year, and other forces were red, just in case, they would move all the grain back as soon as possible. Leader Song didn't come long after he arrived, so he couldn't object to anything, and he wasn't worried about the problem of eating in Qianzhai, so he asked the treasury to go directly to the second leader and the big boss when he ran out of food, and he dared to starve them. It just so happens that Yang Congyi is willing to move grain, so give the second leader a face and send someone to go, after all, they are all in the mountains, and they often have to meet, and the relationship is too stiff and not good.

More than 70 people gathered together, naturally it was very lively, talking, laughing, noisy, and naturally inevitable. The catchers had already been instructed to get close to the bandits, and more than a dozen people were scattered, with many points and a wide range of areas, and when they were a little more familiar, they would be more casual in their conversation, and it would be easier to listen to the news.

"What's the noise, I don't know where this is?" Suddenly, a shout reached everyone's ears, like a scoop of cold water poured into a pot of boiling water, and the noisy crowd instantly shut up, silent.

Yang Congyi looked up and saw that it was the bandit who brought him into the courtyard of the second leader yesterday, standing there with his nostrils reaching to the sky, looking like he was superior and very spirited.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, the bandit looked at everyone and said loudly: "The second leader said that this time each village moved the grain from each village, and there was a mistake on the way, whether it was lost or scattered, it will not be made up." The mountain road is not easy to walk, so be careful. Clear? ”

Everyone didn't want to deal with the bandit's big-tailed wolf, but some people still responded a few times.

"Let's go." The bandit waved his hand and gave an order, as if he were commanding thousands of troops.

Many of the bandits rushed ahead and left without waiting for him to lift his feet, blocking him from behind and drowning in the crowd.

Under Yang Congyi's orders, the catchers scattered in the crowd and left with everyone one after another.

And Yang Congyi himself fell last, he deliberately kept up with the bandit's pace, and said as he walked: "For such a big thing as distributing food, I thought it was the second leader who came in person, but I didn't expect it to be the eldest brother doing it for him, the eldest brother is really a celebrity in front of the second leader." ”

The bandit listened to it and said politely, "What is this?" When he turned his head and saw that it was Yang Congyi, he recalled it and asked, "You came yesterday, it seems to be from Qianzhai, what is your surname?" ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "The younger brother's surname is Yang, Yang Lao Wu, and he has only been on the mountain for a short time. What is the name of Big Brother? It's not a short time in the mountains. ”

The bandit replied with some pride: "As soon as I go up the mountain, I will follow the second leader, for six or seven years." Just call me Brother Fu. When did you come and where are you? ”

Yang Congyi said "Brother Fu", and then replied: "The younger brother used to fall into the grass in Hutou Rock, and he was chased by the officers and soldiers when he committed something, and no one dared to take him in. ”

Brother Fu said: "Count your kid lucky, there are not many people who can be taken in by Nitou Mountain if you make a mistake, you should have some ability." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "I don't have any skills, I just played a gun for a year or two and hunted." ”

Brother Fu nodded and said: "If you have these skills, you will definitely take them in, like those who have no ability, and like to cause trouble, and just want to eat together, you will be driven down the mountain directly." ”

Yang Congyi said: "Listen to Brother Fu, there are also a lot of people on the mountain, and there are those who go up the mountain and are killed?" ”

Brother Fu said: "That's not it, there are more than 400 people in the entire Nipple Mountain, up and down, and they didn't come in a day or two." When you go up the mountain, you have to do a good job and throw away all the crooked thoughts you had before, otherwise you will be driven down the mountain. At the beginning of the year, there were more than a dozen, very heavy-minded, but lazy to do, they were driven down the mountain within a few days, and they would not grasp the opportunity, and it was no wonder that others wanted to eat mixed rice, and they thought it was quite beautiful. ”

Yang Congyi heard that more than a dozen people went up the mountain at the beginning of the year, could it be that he was a prisoner who escaped from the prison? So he hurriedly asked: "That's a pity, I can't grasp such a good opportunity." More than a dozen people were all driven down the mountain? ”

Brother Fu said: "That's not it, there are a few diligent people with hands and feet, but they don't have any great skills, so they stay in the mountains to raise pigs." It doesn't matter if you have the ability or not, the key is to be diligent with your hands and feet, it's good to be like you, don't be tired, when you're tired, you have to think about it, it's important to be life, or it's important to be idle, and if you think about it, you won't feel tired. ”

Yang Congyi looked like he had gained a lot, and complimented: "What Brother Fu said is reasonable, he is too lazy to eat, and he can't live anywhere, unless he has a good life, he was born as a young master." Those dozen lazy and lazy things, is it the fate of the young master? "Take the hot iron and continue to listen to a wave.

Brother Fu said with a smile: "What kind of young master's life are they, they are criminals who are being pursued by the government, and there is no place to hide outside, so they want to hide in the mountains." If you want to enter the mountain, you have to make a lot of effort, otherwise which cottage will take it in. Now is different from the past, the world is peaceful, many people who came in from the war are going out of the mountains, there are few people, they can't receive food, and the cottage has to grow their own food, otherwise there will be no food. ”

Prisoner? Then it is very likely that Huaining Prison escaped. It seems that there are really fugitives on this mountain, and this trip was not in vain! Yang Congyi was very excited and excited. After being in the mountains for so long, there is finally good news.

"Brother Fu is right, in this world, if you don't have that good life, you have to have good strength, and you have to be able to endure hardships and work hard to survive. For those of us, no matter how hard and tiring it is, even if it is feeding pigs and sheep, we can only have enough food and do anything. I'm afraid of a lazy word, and people can only drink the northwest wind if they are lazy. Then do you know where the people who were driven down the mountain ended up? Didn't cry and shout and come back? ”

"I don't know if they regret it, I haven't seen them again anyway. The mountains are so big, there will always be somewhere to find food, no matter where they go. ”

"Brother Fu, it should be quite easy to raise pigs and sheep in the mountains."

"Fortunately, it depends on whether it will, it is not difficult for those who will not herd, if you don't herd sheep, you give him two to raise, and you can't find one that can be released, and if you can put it in a large flock, one hundred and ten will be a problem. It's the same with raising pigs, those who raise well have three-finger thick fat, and those who can't raise them can see their bones when they are hungry. How, do you want to go to pig breeding or sheep herding? ”

"No, let me hunt, just herd the sheep, if the sheep run away, I can't catch up, maybe I'll be shot to death."

"Hahaha, what I'm saying is, what about raising pigs, the pigs are all in the pen, but they can't run."

"Think about it. Where to raise pigs, how come I haven't seen a pigsty in so many days on the mountain. ”

"The pigsty is too dirty, it's not in the cottage, it's under the mountain, and you can meet it in a while. The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and when the time comes, you will definitely have to kill two fat pigs to try it. ”

"That's great, I haven't eaten fresh pork for a long time, I didn't expect to have fresh pork to eat as soon as I went up the mountain, it's really a blessing, come and run, it's really the right one."

"You're in luck. There are not many pigs in the cottage, just a few dozen, and there will be fresh pork to eat during the New Year's holidays. ”

The two walked and chatted in the back, Yang Congyi also heard a lot of information, but it had little to do with chasing fugitives, such as how beautiful the leader's wife was in the village, how the leader robbed it, how hated the brother-in-law robbed by the leader, how the second leader went up the mountain, and a lot of things about Chen sesame and rotten grain, he didn't care much, he only thought about how to determine the identity of the fugitives, and then get them down the mountain, but this Fu Ge didn't know the names of the fugitives who stayed on the mountain to raise pigs.

On the road, I saw a lot of pigsties, surrounded by a high fence, to prevent the pigs from running out by themselves, but also to prevent someone from stealing, a little far away, what is the specific situation inside, I didn't see it clearly.

Listening to this bandit named Brother Fu, the pigsty is specially arranged to be guarded, and generally unrelated people are not allowed to enter, and hundreds of people are just this little bit of oil and water, and no one can afford to go wrong. Yang Congyi thought about whether he could first inquire about their names when he came back, see if there were any people on the roster, and then find a way to contact them slowly.

Yang Congyi followed the team, went down the mountain and walked along the valley for more than an hour, and saw a lot of paddy fields along the way, the rice in the previous season had been harvested, and the seedlings in the second season had been planted in the field, and it seemed that it had been a few days. Thinking about it, these paddy fields are also from Nitou Mountain, and it seems that one or two hundred stone of rice can be harvested in one season.

Crossing the valley and climbing over a mountain, it was already afternoon. From the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, the paddy fields are one after another, from the slopes to the valleys, the water is sparkling everywhere, and it is roughly estimated that there are hundreds of acres of land. There is a lot of rainfall here, and there are many streams on the mountain, the water is abundant, the rice can be planted twice a year, and a lot of grain can be harvested on hundreds of acres of land. No wonder there are more than 400 people in a nipple mountain, and with these fields, a hundred more people can be fed.

The way down the mountain is not as strenuous as going up the mountain, and everyone slips all the way, and it takes a long time to reach the bottom of the mountain. The bandits, who knew the place, led the team directly to the courtyard where the granary was located.
