In early spring, everything grows on Yiling, flowers and plants are luxuriant, birds and beasts are rampant, and everywhere is full of vitality.

A fat wild boar, walking through the dappled sunlight, is looking for breakfast in the woods. And when it reached a wild bamboo forest, it suddenly stopped vigilantly, and howled fiercely at a large tree with its fangs open.

"This beast is also vigilant, but when you meet your grandfather, your life is not good."

As he spoke, a tall and sturdy man flashed out from behind the tree. I saw that he was about 20 years old, 1.7 meters tall, with a horizontal body, a dark complexion, a pair of plate axes obliquely inserted in his waist, and a knife in his hand.

When the wild boar saw that a strange thing appeared in front of him, he immediately became ferocious, and said that the wild boar was as fierce as a tiger, but it was true, and he saw that it was holding a pair of long and terrifying fangs on its head, and it hit the man directly. The man did not panic, when the wild boar was about to get closer, he moved two steps sideways, and the knife in his hand swung out, and suddenly drew a foot-long bloody wound on the buttocks of the wild boar, the wild boar was in pain, turned around and pounced more and more fiercely, but was dodged by the man lightly, and ate another knife, so only three or five back and forth, the wild boar lay on the ground and was dying.

"Hehe, I told you to be ruthless in front of grandpa."

The man calmly mended a knife in the throat of the wild boar, and when it was dead, whether it was dirty or not, he reached out and grabbed his front leg, and with a light lift, he put it on his shoulder, and turned and went down the mountain.

Not far from the Yiling Mountains, there are three or three villages, but compared with the bottom of the mountain and the mountain, it seems to be two worlds. The grass on the mountain is verdant and there is almost no green at the bottom of the mountain, and at the foot of the ridge on the side of the mountain road, there are also some emaciated women and children looking for edible wild vegetables in the grass.

The man carried the wild boar down the mountain in the envious eyes of women and children, you must know that although there are many wild things in Yiling, it is not something that ordinary people can go up, after all, if you can barely survive, no one is willing to risk your life.

There is a Baizhang village about seven or eight miles to the northeast of Yiling, the village is backed by a mountain cliff and called Baizhang Cliff, the village is named because of the cliff, the whole village is not big only forty or fifty households, most of them are surnamed Li.

"Mother, the iron bull is back, hurry up and fetch water for me, I'm thirsty."

At this time, it was noon, and in a courtyard at the east end of the village, the man was calling into the house while putting down the wild boar.

"Son, you went out late at night for a long time and didn't come back, which made my mother think about it tightly, but there was something to gain." A woman's voice came from the room, and then a woman in her fifties or sixties came out with a ladle of water.

"The big boar, my son is hurt." The old woman was astonished to see the wild boar on the ground, and worried that her son would be injured.

"The wild boar is very much, even the big insect and the iron bull can be killed and carried back." The Iron Bull didn't care.

When the woman saw that her son was fine, she was relieved, and the mother and son gathered up the boar together, and in half an hour they cleaned up.

"Mother, I'll go see Aunt Cui." The iron ox took a knife and removed one of its hind legs and said to the woman.

"Go, come back early, and call your brother and sister-in-law over for dinner."

The woman was thinking that Tie Niu was not small, and he and Cuigu were also eye-catching, so she had to find a matchmaker to settle the matter as soon as possible.

That Cuigu's home is in the south of the village, her surname is Dong, her father is called Dong Shoucai, and her mother is Feng. That Dong Shoucai is the tenant of Dong Taigong in Dongdian Village in the west, and he guards a few acres of mountainous land for Dong Taigong here. Although Dong Shoucai's name is Shoucai, he has never been able to keep his wealth, but his temper when he sees money is like his name.

"Is Aunt Cui at home?" The Iron Ox stood in front of the door with a boar leg in his hand, calling out as he peered inside.

"On the mile." In response, a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old ran out of the house, dressed plainly, but with a bit of color.

"Brother Tie Niu, your big pork leg?"

"I hunted on Yiling in the morning, and I'll give you a taste."

Looking at Cui Gu's surprised expression, Tie Niu was very proud.

"Cuigu, you ...... back"

At this time, a man in his fifties came out of the back room, and he was about to call his daughter back to the house, but when he saw the big pork leg of more than ten catties in Tie Niu's hand, he took the word "come" back alive. In the current spring famine, this pork leg is a rare good thing.

"It's an iron bull, come to play at home, what do you bring?"

The man spoke, but he had already reached out to take the pig's leg. He naturally knows about his daughter and Tie Niu, but he only has one daughter, and he has long regarded her as a cash cow in his heart, and he looks at a poor family like Tie Niu.

"No, my mother is waiting for dinner."

"Then I won't stay."

Before Tie Niu's words fell, Zhao Youcai answered, and dragged his daughter back to the house.

"Brother Tie Niu, you go back first, and I have to go to see the mother at night."

Nacui Gu seemed to be unwilling, and turned her head to shout to Tie Niu as she walked. Tie Niu answered, was stunned for a moment, and then went back in a daze.

said that in a house opposite the door of Dong Youcai's house, there was a couple of men and women who saw this scene clearly.

"When did this woman from the old Han family of Dong come out like this." It was a thin man in his twenties who spoke.

"You dead ghost, you're eating from the bowl and thinking about the pot again." The woman next to her pinched the man's waist with her hand.

The man screamed in pain, and leaned sideways to hold the woman in his arms.

"Heart, how can I give up on you, just watching a flower of the Dong family being gnawed by the iron bull, I am really unwilling, if the peach helps me fulfill my wish, I will not treat you badly."

"Dong Shoucai, that old money fan, the old lady only needs to use some means to make him obedient, but how can you thank me, a dead ghost."

"Xinhe, I let go of such a funny person like you, and now I will thank you first."

The man said in his mouth, but his hand went to untie the pink belt, and the woman pretended to struggle, and the two rolled on the bed, and the white flowers were folded into a pile, regardless of the blue sky and white sun, only doing that kind of thing.

Let's say who this man and woman are, it turns out that the man's name is Dong Wude, the youngest son of Dong Taigong in Dongdian Village, who was originally a pranky who does all kinds of evil, but the woman is the honest woman of Li in the village called star troll, and she has the temperament of a water-based poplar.

One day, Dong Wude came to collect the rent, and the two met, just like Wang Ba looked at mung beans - they met each other, and since then they have often fooled around. Today should be the misfortune of the iron bull, who was hit by this pair of dog men and women.

In the evening of this day, Carambola rarely entered Dong Shoucai's yard. Only a few words to clean up Dong Shoucai's obedience, what kind of family is Mrs. Dong's house, he Dong Shoucai is tiptoeing and doesn't necessarily look at the threshold, as well as two hundred taels of silver and other dowries, isn't that the result he dreamed of, as for whether his daughter wants to or not, it is not up to him to decide.

"The young officials of the Dong family can see it, and I am naturally willing, but I am afraid that the reckless man of Tie Niu will come over and entangle me when the time comes." Dong Shoucai knew that Tie Niu was interested in his daughter, and he had all his strength, and it would be difficult to deal with it at that time.

"It's not convenient, you only teach Cuigu to say to the iron bull, you want a big worm's skin as a dowry, the reckless man is not obedient to the mountains to find the big worm to fight, when he enters the mountain, he will carry the girl into Dong's house, if the iron bull enters the mouth of the big worm, everything is nothing, if there is a life to come back, you only say that Cuigu does not want to follow him, to Dong Mansion to enjoy happiness, he is to eat the leopard gall and dare not go to Dong Mansion to make noise."

I have to say that this woman also has some scheming, but she is too vicious.

Dong Shoucai listened to Carambola's words, and he had no scruples anymore, so he said something to his daughter when he returned to the house.

"Daddy, how easy is it to kill the big worm, if there is a mistake, won't it ruin the life of Brother Tie Niu."

Cui Gu was very happy to see that her father had approved her marriage, but she didn't want her to say such a scary condition in a blink of an eye, so she was stunned for a moment.

"It's not easy to be in charge of a beast like a big worm, why don't you change it to something else." Feng Shi persuaded softly on the side.

"What does the woman's family know, if it weren't for a rare dowry, why did he marry Tie Niu." Dong Youcai glared at him and scared Feng back.

Tie Niu's house, Tie Niu leaned against the door frame, looking at Cui Gu and the old lady sitting on the pit with a smirk.

"Mother, my father ......" Cui Gu wanted to speak and stopped, embarrassed.

"What's wrong with your father?" Iron Bull Lady pulled Cuigu's hand and asked.

"My father has to be taken by Brother Tie Niu - take the skin of the big worm as a dowry, so he is happy." Cui Gu was ruthless and reluctantly spoke out.

"The skin of the big worm!" Iron Bull Lady cried out in surprise.

"The skin of the big worm, then I will go into the mountains tomorrow to hunt, Aunt Cui, you can rest assured, I will come back in a few days to marry you." Iron Bull was excited, but he didn't take it seriously.

Early the next morning, in the midst of the anxiety of the two women, the iron ox went into the mountain. And the star fruit red then entered Dong Shoucai's house with two hundred taels of snowflake silver. At this time, Cuigu knew that she had been deceived by her biological father, so she looked for death and did not marry Dong Wude.

Dong Shoucai and Carambola were at a loss for a while, thinking that it would take a few days for the iron ox to enter the mountain, and they didn't care about it in front of them, thinking about persuading them for two days first, maybe they would change their minds. After another four days, Carambola saw that Cui Gu had no intention of returning, so she said to Dong Shoucai that she had to make a decision, otherwise it would be difficult for Tie Niu to come back. Dong Shoucai was ruthless, tied his daughter's limbs, stuffed them into a sedan chair, and sent them to Na Dong's mansion.

On the evening of the day when Cuigu was sent to Dongfu, Tie Niu was covered with scars, but he happily returned to Baizhang Village with a big insect skin on his back. The old lady looked at her bloodstained son, full of sadness, but she didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Son, you just forgot about that Cui Aunt, and my mother will help you find a good little girl."

The old lady knows her son's temper very well, so she can only persuade him gently. However, Tie Niu is also a strong man, how did he get rid of these vague two sentences, the old lady had to say the matter.

"The old thief is too deceitful, so I'll find him to reason."

Tie Niu threw down the tiger skin, did not enter the house, and did not listen to the old lady's pleas, turned around and ran towards Dong Shoucai's house.

Let's say that Dong Shoucai wanted to leave Baizhang Village to enjoy the blessings of Nadong Shop, but who knew that as soon as his daughter left on the front foot, the iron ox came back on the back foot. When I was worried in the center of the house, I only heard a "bang" of the courtyard door, and the iron ox with a double axe in his waist and a steel knife broke in like a vicious spirit.

"You are a filthy birdman, you are a deceitful and ruthless, if you don't understand today, I will discipline you in two."

"Tie Niu is angry, it's all Cuigu's little slut who is greedy for wealth and nobility, I just don't listen to her persuasion, so I have no choice but to go with her, and it has nothing to do with my old man."

Seeing that his life was not guaranteed, this unscrupulous old man only pushed the fault on his daughter.

Tie Niu was stunned there, not to shoot, but at the end he only said "I'll settle accounts with you later", turned around and went out.

Baizhang Village and Dongdian are also eight or nine miles away, when Tie Niu arrived at the Dong family compound, it was already the middle of the unitary hour, he climbed over the wall and didn't know where to go, just a family passed by, grabbed a clear and cut it with a knife. When I sneaked to the front of the room, I happened to see Dong Wude drinking in the hall with three or five fox friends and dogs, only to hear him say, "Let's get along with Na Cui Gu, and it will be a good thing today,......

Tie Niu only heard this, and thought that Cui Gu was really a slut, and when he was angry, he broke into the hall with a double axe, and cut Dong Wude into two with an axe, and cut another one with his backhand, and several other dead souls rushed to flee in all directions, shouting and running away, Tie Niu turned around and was about to kill that Cui Gu, but when he saw the Dong family coming around, he thought to himself, just cheapen that slut for the time being, still climbed over the wall, and absconded in the darkness.
