Chapter Twenty-Four: Under the Lion's Head
Everyone and the village chief's family ate some sorghum rice and duck soup, and then led the way by Wei Yan and walked to the lion's head village. It is not practical for Wei Yan to lead the way, because as soon as he walked out of the village, without the shelter of the house, a small hill not far from the west appeared in front of him, and the not tall peak was of course the location of the lion's head village that had been in Wuping for several years. Wei Yan has practiced martial arts since childhood, his body is strong, a full meal, a bowl of duck soup, his body has almost recovered to the best state, and he is walking quickly with an iron spear at the moment, followed by Liu Zhang, Xun You and Man Favor, Xu Chu and Xu Huang took a long-handled broadsword weighing 54 catties, and a heavy axe weighing 60 catties was at the back (Xu Huang's axe that accompanied him since he was a child was left in his hometown, and this axe was given by Xu Chu from home when he left Xujia Village).
In less than half an hour, one person arrived at the foot of the lion's head peak.
Liu Zhang looked up at the peak, as Wei Yan said, the peak is not the slightest bit steep, a road that can be called flat leads to the top of the mountain, if it is not for a fence on the mountainside, a few lookout towers, the cavalry can even directly ride up the horse. There are many dry yellow roofs in the green of the dense forest on the top of the mountain, and a clear spring bubbling down the main road, this may be the only good thing, there is an endless source of water in the mountain, if the enemy is not afraid of running out of water to drink after surrounding the mountain, but such a flat terrain, what kind of siege does the enemy use to spend time and energy? One charge solves the matter of the battle, how can it be so troublesome!
At the foot of the mountain, the bandits built two huts, which were supposed to be sentry posts, but at this time, the bandits who should have been guarding their posts to prevent the officers and soldiers from sneaking up on them were all crowded into one room and throwing dice......
The group came to the outside of the hut, and after a while, the gamblers who were in high mood realized that a bandit who looked like a leader did not look half worried, and said with a smile: "Yo, the sun has come out in the west these years, and there are still people who dare to come to our lion's head peak?" ”
A few bandits, who were estimated to have lost everything, picked up the swords that were thrown on the ground, as if they wanted to snatch some gambling money from a few people.
Liu Zhang and the others couldn't help laughing, this gang of bandits was spoiled, and they didn't have a sense of distress at all?
The leader shouted: "It's all for Lao Tzu to come back, the sheep are in the pen, when will they be slaughtered or not!" Wait until Lao Tzu finishes opening this one, fuck, you bastards are trying to slip away, Lao Tzu tells you, this one is opened, you have to give your pants to Lao Tzu! "What a self-confidence, it seems that Liu Zhang and the others are already a dish in front of them, hot or cold, as he likes.
However, it backfired, and when this one came out, the leader's three dice only threw six points, and almost all the bandits who participated in the gambling bought "big" ......
Naturally, all the bandits shouted in unison, looking straight at the pile of copper coins in front of the leader.
The leader scolded: "Fuck, it's really back, I wouldn't have bet on it if I knew it!" Although his temper is not very good, but the gambling is not bad, after losing money one by one, he said: "Okay, all for Lao Tzu to do the right thing, fuck, you bastards, sooner or later, you will hurt Lao Tzu to throw a full compensation, Lao Tzu must get back the loss from you, hum, you better pray that you have so much money, otherwise, Lao Tzu will cut off your meat one by one and take it to Wuping City as pork to sell!" As he spoke, he picked up the machete beside him and led the bandits to surround him.
One of the bandits said, "Fuck, when was the last time someone passed by our lion's head village?" I can't remember exactly! ”
The leader smiled: "Well, I can't remember clearly, anyway, it's been a long time, and the current people are so fucking fine, I'd rather take a long detour than dare to pass by us, is we really so terrible here?" If they don't come, what the are we going to eat and drink? Where can I find my daughter-in-law? ”
As he spoke, thirteen bandits had already surrounded Liu Zhang and his party.
Man Chong immediately said according to Liu Zhang's instructions in advance: "Heroes, your own people, your own people, don't be impulsive......"
The leader scolded, "Who the fuck is with you?" Less set almost, Lao Tzu does not eat this set, consciously, hand over all the money on the body, maybe Lao Tzu can consider leaving you a dog's life, if Lao Tzu finds out who dares to hide even a penny, Lao Tzu will also kill you alive! ”
Xu Chu has the most violent temper, and he couldn't bear it when he heard this, but fortunately, Xu Huang already knew his character very well, and he stopped him early in the morning.
Full of favor said: "This hero, really his own people, we were also under the command of the great virtuous teacher in the early years, and later after the defeat of the great virtuous and good teacher, our group of people turned to fight everywhere, continue the unfinished wish of the great virtuous and good teacher, but it is a pity that the Han army is very strong, several times to encircle and suppress us, a few years down, except for these brothers, everyone else has let the officers and soldiers to kill, we are desperate, so we have to change clothes and change clothes, and die in the world." A few days ago, we went to the Ying River, listened to the boatman talk about your deeds, and heard that there are two leaders in the village, Zhou Cang and Liaohua, in the early years, I had a good relationship with the two when I was under the command of the great sage and good teacher, I heard that they were here, and they came to meet each other, and asked this good man to give a word! ”
When the leader heard that the other party was also the Yellow Turban Army, and he knew the two leaders, he said with hatred in his heart: "Damn, Bai Huan is happy, this fucking deal can't be done!" ”
Man Zhong took a gold ingot and stuffed it into the leader's hand, and said, "This hero, please make it convenient for us to pass it on!" ”
The leader took the gold, and secretly felt that it seemed to be faster than robbing the money, and couldn't help but look happy, and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the yellow turban family in the world!" I'm going to let people pass it on! ”
Full of favor and said: "This eldest brother, I waited for a long time to meet the two elder brothers Zhou and Liao, presumably they already thought that we were all martyred, I want to give them a surprise, please don't tell them what we look like, just ask them to go down the mountain to see us!" ”
The leader laughed, "Understood, understood!" He turned his head and called a bandit and ordered him to go up the mountain immediately to inform Zhou Cang and Liao Hua. After the bandits left, they invited a few more people to play, and Liu Zhang was afraid that they would be suspicious, so he beckoned Xu Chu and Wei Yan to play with them.
After a while, the bandit rushed down the mountain, and as soon as he entered the house, he said: "Several, Zhou Dangjia and Liao Dangjia already know, and they will be there soon!" ”
Man Pet gave him a handful of copper coins and thanked him, and the bandit took the money and happily threw himself into the "battlefield".
Liu Zhang greeted Xu Chu and Wei Yan and said, "Zhong Kang and Wen Chang, the two elder brothers will come down soon, let's go out to greet them!" ”
The two took the gambling book and confessed their crimes, and as Liu Zhang and the others got out of the hut, the bandits did not have the slightest suspicion, and immediately someone occupied their place to continue the gambling.
A few people stayed away from the hut where the bandits were, and when they looked up, sure enough, two men in cloth clothes were running down the mountain.
Soon, the two came to Liu Zhang and the others.
The two of them swept their eyes in front of several people, and said with some doubts: "In the next Zhou Cang (Liaohua), I have seen you, I heard that you are old friends, forgive me for being clumsy, why don't you seem to know you in the next week!" ”
Zhou Cang and Liao Hua are of similar height and age, about seven feet, twenty-four or five years old, Zhou Cang is slightly fatter, with a black face and a big mouth, and his appearance should be said to be a little ugly.
