Time flies, and ten years pass in a flash.

At this time, everything is recovering, and the spring is full of vitality, and if we talk about sadness and parting, the plot of rise and fall and death is full of autumn. The joy and hope, the new life and thriving are the main themes of spring.

The grass and trees know that spring will return soon, and all kinds of red and purple will be fragrant. The spring breeze warms people's hearts and spleens, if you are a person from Chu State, you must also be careful of the moisture brought by the warm wind, so as not to enter the body and become entangled rheumatism.

There is a winding path on the Shennong Mountain in spring, the path is steep on both sides, although there is greenery, it is not as scary as the cliffs, but it is also an excellent place to rob houses and collect tolls.

A horse-drawn carriage can travel awkwardly on the path, and the slightest deviation in direction can cause the carriage to rush off the road and tumble down the hill, and the driver will be terrified by the thrill of this road.

The bump in the car startled the people in the car, but before they could rejoice, they heard a clear but rough voice: "I drove this mountain, and I planted this tree." If you want to cross this road, leave the money to buy the road. If you are interested, you will hand over all the valuable things on your body to Lao Tzu, otherwise, hehe, my hungry and thirsty big knife will drink blood. ”

The people in the car looked ahead, and at some point there was a big man with a bearded face, dressed in black, not very neat, with a black cloth around his head, a tiger skin tied around his waist, and a big knife with a ring on the side.

This rough-looking man must be the legendary bandit who lives on this Shennong Mountain.

Legend has it that a year ago, there was a thief who blocked the road and robbed on this Shennong Mountain, if the general thief only recognizes money and does not recognize people, you are poor and rich, and you will take your life if you have no money, but this thief has a very strong personality, not only every time he robs a broken slogan, but also only robs the rich and does not rob the poor, and sometimes he will help the poor, and never hurt people's lives, he looks like a good thief who is benevolent and righteous.

Over time, this habit of his spread out, so a rich man who wanted to pass by had the heart of trying it out, disguised himself as a poor man, and not only was he not embarrassed, but also got his help, this is a terrible thing, the rich man in order to show off his wisdom, this as a boasting talk, this thing also spread, those who want to pass by the rich people have followed suit after hearing about it, and this thief has become the legendary little fool thief.

Whether it is a stupid thief or a shrewd bandit, they are all bandits, and the government will naturally not sit idly by, but this Shennong Mountain is full of mountains and dense forests, and it is simply easier to find someone than looking for a needle in a haystack, plus this thief is not heinous, just collect some toll money, and it is not easy to mix, so the county magistrate is very reasonable and sympathetic to the people's livelihood and subordinates, and he will let it go after two pursuits in vain.

No, the people in the car weren't worried at all, because they were prepared.

Out of the car was an unkempt middle-aged man dressed in coarse linen clothes with a lot of patches on his clothes.

The coachman outside looked much better than that, at least not unkempt.

"Little Lao'er to meet the king," the middle-aged man habitually shook off his robe, and after shaking it, he remembered that this was not the robe sewn with good silk on weekdays, and hurriedly bent down to salute, and said: "Little Lao'er has an old mother who is sick in bed, and a wife and child who are hungry and cold, and now there is no surplus food at home, and the old mother has not eaten for two days, and she is seriously ill. As he spoke, he burst into tears.

It was really sad for those who heard it, and wept for those who saw it, if it weren't for the fat horse and luxurious carriage behind him.

You think I'm a stupid fork! At this moment, the thieves finally understood why the mosquitoes that had been fed for so long recently had nothing to gain, it turned out that these rich people were ghostly, no wonder they could be rich.

"My mother is dying of hunger, why are you still going up to the mountain? Why don't you hurry up and find something to eat for your mother. ”

"Xiao Lao'er also wants to hurry up and give his mother a bite to eat, but Xiao Lao'er is not doing well, the family is now surrounded by four walls, and those friends in the past are like snakes and scorpions, I really can't think of a way, so I came to this mountain to try my luck and see if I can find a bite to eat."

He didn't ask the thief to give him money, he just wanted to be able to pass there sooner, and there was a big deal waiting for him to discuss.

"Isn't this horse quite fat! Enough to eat for months! ”

A drop of cold sweat dripped from the middle-aged man's head and said, "This horse...... This horse has been with me for many years, I have long regarded it as a relative, and since the beginning of last year, I have been in business unfavorably, causing many people to rebel and leave, but it has not left me, how can I bear to eat it? ”

"What about him?" The thief pointed to the coachman next to the middle-aged man.

He ...... He's my brother. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, and the middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"You're all ugly, but you don't look like each other at all!" The bandit shook his head, don't think I'm a fool.

"You're ugly! Look at your thick eyebrows, big eyes, and bearded appearance, where is my such a graceful middle-aged beautiful man ugly? What kind of eyes do you have?'

"We ...... We are half-siblings. The mother is sorry, and the son has no choice, the middle-aged man silently apologized to the old mother in his heart.

"Hmmm! If I'm not mistaken, the curtain of this car is made of fine Jiangnan silk, and the body is also made of fine nanmu, tsk! There is no problem with selling such a good car for a few hundred taels of silver, right? A few hundred taels! Enough to treat your mother, right? That's enough for you to eat for years, right? ”

"Who said this bandit was a fool?" The middle-aged man was full of resentment, and he really wanted to dismantle that person, wouldn't it hurt people!

If he hadn't been in a hurry, if he hadn't been taken for a fool, he wouldn't have taken this car! There will be no such glaring flaws.

Trying to squeeze out a little tears: "This car will never leave me......"

"Okay, okay, don't be verbose, hand over all the valuable things on your body to Lao Tzu." The bandit pulled out his broadsword and shook it impatiently: "My broadsword is already hungry!" ”

The middle-aged man really wanted to cry without tears now, and wanted to fight for it: "King, I really don't have any money, for the sake of my mother's serious illness, let me go!" ”

"You don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!"

"Look at the knife."

"Ahh "Bang!"

The middle-aged man rolled his eyes when he looked at the big knife that was close to him, and fell to the ground and fainted.

When the coachman saw the thief turn his head to look at him, he rolled his eyes very interestingly, and fainted gorgeously.

The bandit squatted down and groped around with them, but there was not even a single hair, which made him very angry, and he stood up and kicked them twice, "Let you go out without any money, let you ......." ”

Removing them from the road, he got into the luxurious carriage with a cold snort, and with a wave of his whip, he soon disappeared. It was a thrilling stretch for them, but it didn't affect the bandits in the slightest.

After a quarter of an hour, the coachman was the first to open his eyes, carefully observed the surroundings, and made sure that the bandit had left, before he got up and pushed the middle-aged man next to him, and whispered: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, the thief is leaving." ”

The shopkeeper was shaken by him for a while, woke up, and opened his eyes: "Is he really gone?" ”

"Gone,"

"Whew!" The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and patted the dust on his body, and smiled to himself: "Fortunately, I'm smart." ”

He was very happy, because he went out this time to negotiate a big deal and brought the whole family's belongings, so for the sake of insurance, he hid in a secret place in the car and did not take it with him.

He didn't want to take this path, but when he heard that the only bandit on this road was stupid and could save a lot of time, he thought it would be a fluke.

He could imagine the unhappiness of the bandit who had nothing to gain from him.

However, the next moment, his smile froze on his face, and when he saw the empty path, his heart continued to sink, and he said a little tremblingly: "What about the car?" ”

"Snatched by bandits." The coachman was a little worried that the shopkeeper would not be able to accept the blow.

And this is indeed the case, the middle-aged man screamed sadly, rolled his eyes and fainted.

The bandit was not discouraged by the fact that he had only robbed one carriage, but on the contrary, he was in a good mood, and returned to his nest, two dilapidated huts, humming a small tune in the carriage.

A handsome young man greeted him and was slightly surprised: "Childe seems to be in a good mood, could it be that he has gained a lot today?" ”

In the past, when the son came back, he exuded a strong resentment against mosquitoes, ants, snakes and insects, oh! There are also people, such as: "Why don't you have a big landlord today?" Why are they poor people who don't have enough to eat? I'm sorry to die......"

"It's hot for me," the thief threw away his turban, tore off his mask, untied his tiger skin belt, took off his black robe, and instantly changed from a rough man with a bearded face to a handsome and thin boy in a brocade robe.

In ancient words, it is a strange person like jade, a son who is unparalleled in the world, and in modern terms, it is a little tender grass, a little fresh meat that makes the young ladies drool, and he can't help but exclaim when he accidentally sees the mirror every morning: "!" How did this person look so handsome. ”

He raised his head proudly, patted the horse's buttocks, and said, "That's nature, you take a closer look at this carriage, this exquisite workmanship, the lubrication of the curtain, it is simply a must for home travel!" It's worth a few hundred taels to say the least, but it would be nice if it were a donkey. ”

If people who don't know see him talking so eloquently, they still think that he is a carriage seller.

There's no way, he's lost a lot of silver since he became a bandit, and he rarely gains like this!

The handsome young man is glad for this horse, fortunately the son does not eat horse meat, but fortunately he is a horse, in front of the son who often puts "dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat in the ground" on his lips, the donkey has no way to live.

The handsome young man looked up at the sun shining directly in the sky and the beads of sweat hanging on Childe's forehead, and asked puzzledly: "Why does Childe have to disguise himself as a rough man every time he robs?" ”

"As far as this son's eyebrows are concerned, if you don't disguise it, how can you look like a thief?"

"Does this thief have anything to do with his looks?" The boy looked puzzled.

"How can it not matter? As a thief, if you are not fierce or evil, how can you scare passers-by, make them afraid, and obediently hand over the money? "That boy explained that you were stupid and I hated you.

"But you can do it directly, and they're scared. And the reason why the bandits are scary is not because of their appearance, but because of the knife in their hands. ”

It seems to be the truth! Could it be that I really don't have the talent to be a bandit? The boy glanced up and down at the young man, and he felt inferior.

Others are big fish and big meat when they are thieves, but he is a thief but he is upside down with silver, if it weren't for his solid family, I'm afraid he would have starved to death in the wilderness!

Facing Childe's gaze, the young man's back was cold, but fortunately, a voice came at this time: "Childe, Madame called you back,"

A graceful woman came in the distance, her face was very familiar when she looked closely, it was Xue'er who kept Chen Rui back then, and now she has changed from a young girl to a mature young woman.

And this son can vaguely see the outline of the year, and he is the son of Xue'er's family, so it is naturally Chen Rui when he grows up.

Chen Rui didn't expect that he could be so handsome when he grew up! It's just that God is fair, seeing that his parents gave him a perfect appearance, he gave him a mediocre qualification, whether it is a study of literature, martial arts, or medicine, it is slightly mediocre, of course, it is also relative to the genius and the performance of the demon when he was a child.

For this reason, Su Caixuan made a special trip to ask a miracle doctor to take a look at him.
