Chapter 1: The Eighteen Ghosts of the Blue Face

Next Chapter

It's cold, and the mountains are full of red leaves.

He looked at himself like a beggar, with a straw rope around his waist bound to tattered and thin clothes, which were so torn and dirty that they could no longer see their original color and pattern.

A pair of straw sandals at his feet exposed most of his feet.

And there were seven men beside him who were also like beggars, and the elderly third uncle was hunched up, dragging his steps with difficulty and barely following the team.

He stopped and hugged the third uncle, and said to a man in soap clothes in front of him, "Zhao Bantou, I have been on the road for several days, the third uncle has just recovered from a serious illness, and he really can't walk, so let's go again after a break." ”

The man in the soapy coat followed a carriage, carrying a ring-headed horizontal knife at his waist, and compared to the seven or eight beggar-like men, his clothes were bright and neat, and a knife added a bit of majesty. He turned his head dissatisfied, "There are more than ten miles to the county seat, what are you going to rest?" ”

While saying that, he looked around, this is a road through the mountains and forests, surrounded by continuous mountains, dense forests, he flashed a trace of uneasiness in his heart, recently there are rumors that there is a big thief in this hundred miles of Changbai Mountain, he doesn't want to be unlucky to meet them.

Luo Feng looked at the elderly Third Uncle Luo beside him, and continued to plead, "Zhao Bantou, Third Uncle Luo has just recovered from a serious illness, and he really can't walk. ”

Several other beggar-like men also came over to beg each other, and there was a stalemate for a while, when a female voice came from the carriage, "Zhao Bantou, the little lady spoke, just rest here for a while before going on the road, anyway, it's still early, so don't hurry up." ”

Zhao Yu nodded quickly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Several people gathered in front of the old man and helped him sit on a stone on the side of the road, "Third uncle, rest." ”

The third uncle sighed and said to the young man who spoke for him at the beginning, "Little Wu, thanks to your care along the way, otherwise the third uncle would have thrown this old bone in Jijun and wouldn't be able to come back." ”

Known as Xiao Wu, he just shook his head, and along the way, he seemed to be a different person, often frowning without saying a word, as if he was constantly thinking about something.

This Luo Wu, the youngest one in this line, is sixteen this year, like everyone else, he is a native of Zhangqiu County, Qi County, HN, and was recruited by the government to go to HB Ji County to dig a river, and when he came back in early summer, it was already autumn. Luo Wu is the fifth of the old blacksmith Luo lame family in Nanshan Village, Changbai Township, Zhangqiu, because in recent years, the imperial court has built a large number of buildings, and is to build the eastern capital Luoyang, and to dig canals, and to build warships and ordnance to prepare for the conquest of Liao, so the HN counties in the heart of the Central Plains are even more laborious.

Luo Wu's father and eldest brother were both conscripted to build ordnance in Zhuo County, HB last year and did not return, the second and third brothers were conscripted to build ships at the shipyard in Dengzhou and did not return, and the fourth brother went to Luoyang to do military service.

After the year, he just turned 16 years old, according to the government's regulations, he became a middle-aged man, although the government stipulated that he should become a middle-aged man at the age of 21, but when he reached the age of 16, he was considered a middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man had to start to bear part of the military service.

The labor of digging the river is very heavy, working all day, and lack of food and clothing, especially after the autumn, the weather turns cold, it is even more hungry and cold, the last few days of the service period are more tired, and the construction period is in a hurry, the sixteen-year-old Luo Wu finally fell ill, but fortunately, it did not take long for their group of people to end their service period, and his body quickly recovered.

It's just that no one knows that he is no longer the young Luo Wu now.

He is Luo Feng, his classmates liked to call him a crazy man when he was in college, and now he is twenty-six years old, after finishing college, graduating and working, falling in love, taking out a loan to buy a house and a car, getting married and having children. At the age of twenty-six, everything is moving along the track, although the pressure is greater after giving birth to a child, but the hard work is also very fulfilling.

Along the way, he was shocked, he was confused, he was anxious, he was sad, but after so many days, he had slowly accepted this bizarre but extremely real fact in front of him.

He became Luo Wu, the sixteenth of this year, here is in the vicinity of HN, no, in the later generations of SD near Jinan. And now, it is the autumn of the fifth year of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty.

This is too unbelievable, but it is so real, he thought it was just a long dream, but it has been more than ten days, and there is no possibility of waking up from this dream.

Just as he was thinking, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the dense forest on the side of the road.

There were about seventeen or eighteen people, and the one who took the lead held an iron fork more than a foot long, and his eyes swept over the group of people who were resting on the side of the road like a wolf, and finally landed on the carriage, and spat out two words,

"Robbery!"

The men were all covered with blue scarves.

Zhao Zhukuai, who was carrying a knife on the side of the carriage, changed his face greatly, and blurted out, "Blue-faced ghost!" ”

Luo Feng, who was sitting on the stone, immediately had a relevant memory in his mind, eighteen blue-faced ghosts, these are eighteen outlaw Jiang Yang thieves, blocking the road, cutting the path, killing people and setting fires.

"Zhu Hua!" He pronounced the name of the strong, masked man standing at the front.

The blue-faced ghost Zhu Hua, this is not Luo Wu's own memory, but the memory from his other life, the blue-faced ghost Zhu Hua, is a group of bandits wandering in the eastern part of the HN during the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, known as the eighteen blue-faced ghosts, and the leader is called Zhu Hua.

The strong man who was looking at the carriage turned his head in some surprise when he heard Luo Feng say his name.

Their blue-faced ghost has been famous for the past two years, but few people know his name Zhu Hua, and I can't imagine that someone here can call his name.

He turned his head to stare at Luo Feng, but was a little disappointed to find that it was just a young man like a beggar, with tattered clothes. Although he was quite tall, he was very thin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a wide nose, but such a person should not know his name at all.

He shook his head, he was no longer interested in this kid, maybe he heard it from somewhere, after all, now their eighteen blue-faced ghosts are also known to everyone in the HN counties.

"That's right, the grandfathers are the eighteen blue-faced ghosts who have fought all over the HN counties, and those who know each other should hurry up and hand over all the valuables!"

"Big brother, it smells so fragrant, I seem to smell a woman, there are women in this car." A thin man wearing a blue scarf approached the carriage with a smile, but Zhao Zhukuai, who was carrying a knife on the side of the carriage, did not dare to stop him at all.

As soon as the curtain of the car was lifted, the two young women inside were suddenly revealed, looking at the evil appearance of the thin man with a lewd smile, the two women lost their faces and screamed.

"Wow, there are really women, or two young and beautiful little ladies, now I am happy." The thin man's eyes showed a lewd light.

The blue-faced ghost Zhu Hua also laughed, glanced at the two women, and turned to Zhao Zhukuai and Luo Feng and the others, "I met two beautiful little ladies today, and the grandfathers are in a good mood, so I won't embarrass you rough men, hurry up." ”

Zhao Yu hesitated a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and ran.

The coachman also ran with him.

"Little Five, let's go too."

The old man beside Luo Feng said to him, and the others also got up.

But he called two sentences, but he didn't see him move, the old man pulled him, but he didn't pull, Luo Feng still stood there still, "Third uncle, we can't go!" ”
