Chapter 019: Three-legged donkeys can really kill
While Sambo was still thinking nonsense, the bandits had already lit a fire despite the opposition of the big boss. Because it was a thatched house, the house burned quickly, the flames rose high, and the smoke billowed from the house. Shanbo was choked and coughed, and when he heard that his master didn't go out, he honestly lay on the ground to accompany him.
"Hey, bandits outside the door, what kind of man are you, if you have a kind of one-on-one confrontation with me. I grass your uncle, set fire to the house, what kind of skill is it? ”
Sambo shouted to attract the attention of the other party, and was ready to rush out of the back window. Although there were archers outside, there was no choice but to try desperately.
When the bandits outside the door heard that Shanbo was anxious, they laughed happily: "I'll grass your uncle, whoever fights you alone, you just wait in the house to be burned to ashes, but it's a pity for those three beautiful little ladies." Haha!"
At this moment, accompanied by a loud donkey bark, a hoarse old man's angry shout came: "I am his second uncle, boy, you dare to scold me, this is looking for death." ”
The bandits looked back and saw a middle-aged man riding a black donkey and a large kitchen knife rushing up.
It turned out that after the second uncle went to the road to get lost, he immediately returned. When he came to the wheat field that surrounded the villagers, he saw that there were only twenty or thirty bandits here, but there were four or five hundred villagers.
There were more than 100 bandits, of whom 30 or 40 went to every house to loot property, and 30 to 40 set fire to houses.
After the second uncle secretly shot down the two bandits with an arrow, he was discovered by other bandits.
The second uncle pointed to the dust flying on the road and shouted to the villagers: "The government has received the news and sent 500 soldiers to rescue us, and I am the scout horse sent by the government." There are only twenty or thirty of them, and we, four or five hundred, are still afraid of them? These bandits have robbed us of our possessions, killed our relatives, and ravaged our sisters. As he shouted, he quickened his movements, and two more bandits died under his kitchen knife.
When the villagers heard that there were officers and soldiers coming to the rescue, they immediately became bolder, and when they saw that the second master had easily solved the two bandits, they were even more eager to try. It turns out that this gang of gangsters is so unbeaten! One person can easily kill them.
A few young people in the crowd have long been impatient, they are all hunters in the village, and they are already bold in hunting all year round, and they can also do martial arts. At this time, someone shouted, and the villagers immediately picked up the brooms, rakes, sticks, and stones around them, and hit the bandits.
There were only more than 20 bandits, and where could they block the attack of four or five hundred villagers, they were immediately knocked to the ground by everyone, and more than 20 bandits were killed in a quarter of an hour. Among them, the hardest beatings were the families of the girls who were taken away.
The villagers killed more than 20 bandits, and their confidence was greatly increased, and they felt that they had inexhaustible strength and a feeling of invincibility in the world. Seeing that there were bandits burning their houses in the distance, under the leadership of the second uncle, they rushed over violently.
The more than 40 bandits who were setting fire to the house still wanted to resist it, but the lame donkey who rushed to the front picked up a bandit with his mouth, and the big donkey shook his head, only to see that the bandit flew up more than three feet high, rolled several times in the air, and fell to the ground bleeding to death.
The second uncle picked up the kitchen knife and chopped at a bandit, the bandit raised the big knife to block, who knew that the blade of the big knife touched the kitchen knife and broke in half, the power of the kitchen knife was still undiminished, and the bandit was split in half obliquely from head to waist.
Liang Shanbo in the room knew that someone was coming to save him, so he rushed outside the room while the bandits were not paying attention.
In the confusion, I heard the second leader shouting: "Brothers, don't mess up, it's just some villagers, there are no reinforcements, hurry up and resist me!" Resist! I'll go to the mountains and call for reinforcements, and I'll be back right away! Then he was gone.
The middle-aged man in front of him was extremely brave, even his donkey could kill people, and there were five or six hundred villagers around, and more than forty bandits had already been frightened.
The morale of the villagers was high, and if they were willing to let them go, a dozen people dealt with one, and chased them down with broom rakes.
Uncle Shan's face was blackened, and he bowed to the second uncle, and when he spoke, a mouth full of white teeth leaked: "Second uncle, you can save me in the woods, thank you for saving me twice, Uncle Shan's teeth are unforgettable." ”
The second uncle took a closer look at Uncle Shan, and when he saw that there was nothing serious, he pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Shan, I am really your uncle, if it is fake." Don't you see that we look a little alike? Isn't it natural for the uncle to save his nephew, you kid, what else do you say to repay the favor, isn't it stupid? However, if you want to honor the uncle with a few jars of good wine, the uncle will definitely be very happy. ”
"Good wine? You've already taken aim at the wine in my car. ”
"It's not aiming, it's inadvertently seen."
"Okay, no matter who you are or where you come from, for the sake of you saving my life today, from now on, I will admit you as an uncle. You and the three-legged donkey drink the wine in the cart as you like. Today's three-legged donkey has made a lot of meritorious contributions, and it can be regarded as my life-saving benefactor. ”
The three-legged donkey seemed to understand Shanbo's words, and when he knew that there was wine to drink, he cried out happily.
Shan Bo picked up the severed big knife and looked at it, and then looked at the kitchen knife that was still dripping blood in the second uncle's hand, and said in surprise: "This is a treasure knife, it is so sharp!" ”
The second uncle wiped the blood off the knife with a linen cloth, pinned the knife to his waist, and said proudly: "Of course it's a treasure knife, this was given to me by your aunt back then, can it be good?" ”
"I still have an aunt? Are you really my uncle? Samber said half-incredulously.
"You kid is so dull, not your uncle, who has nothing to do with you, and saved your life several times. You really have an aunt named Lan Bi. However, she was forced to death by the Hu people very early. Shanbo, if you have a chance, you must avenge her in the future. The second uncle said sadly.
Shanbo felt the sadness of the second uncle and believed what he said. He still wanted to ask, but the second uncle kept his mouth shut.
Sambo touched the three-legged donkey's head, and lifted its chin to look at its teeth. Donkeys, horses, and mules eat grass all year round, and the cross-sections of their teeth are flat, but the teeth of three-legged donkeys are some pointed.
Herbivores tend to be larger in size and strength than carnivores, and the reason why they are reduced to the mouths of the latter, in addition to their gentle temperament, is that their teeth are not sharp. In "The Donkey of Qian", it is said: "The donkey is not angry, and the hooves are endless." "It can be seen that donkeys can only kick people, not bite with their teeth.
Shanbo looked at the teeth of the three-legged donkey and said to the second uncle: "Your white dragon horse is so powerful, it can even pick up people and throw them out, you see its teeth are actually pointed." As he spoke, he stroked the forehead and neck of the three-legged donkey very fondly.
The three-legged donkey knew that Shanbo had good wine, and arched back and forth in Shanbo's arms flatteringly.
The second uncle said proudly: "It often eats meat, and its teeth may be deformed." Otherwise, how dare you fight with tigers and wolves? ”
Di Ting saw the master stroking the three-legged donkey and suddenly stopped doing it, and shouted at the three-legged donkey, "Wang, Wang".
Sambo hurriedly crouched down and stroked its head, and listened to the rubbing of Shanbo's body vigorously, until Sambo picked it up, and it was not until Sambo picked it up that it was stable.
The second uncle watched with relish on the side, stroked his beard and said, "It's funny that animals are as jealous as humans!" ”
Uncle Shan smiled and said to the second uncle: "You have a lot of treasures on your old body!" The big kitchen knife sharpens iron like clay, and the white dragon horse drives the tiger and devours the wolf, which is amazing for my second uncle! ”
At this time, the villagers who were chasing the bandits returned, and more than 100 bandits fled, including the second leader. The rest were killed, Scarface was the worst, and his body was dismembered by the blade. The villagers are very grateful to the second uncle and Shanbo, and there is no need to elaborate.
A crisis has passed, and Shanbo is secretly rejoicing. Trouble came unexpectedly, Chuncao's parents led Chuncao to kneel in front of Shanbo, unable to live or die, so they had to let Shanbo take Chuncao away.
Chuncao knelt on the ground and cried vigorously. Chuncao's brother Chunshui is also a hunter, and said with tears in his eyes: "Son, you can do it and save my sister's life!" ”
It took a long time for Uncle Shan to understand that they were worried that Chuncao's body would be looked at, and they would never be able to marry again if they were ridiculed in the future. This may not be a big deal in the future, but not in this era. People don't care if you were forced by bandits or not, anyway, being looked at by bandits is like losing your chastity, so do you still have the face to live again?
Shanbo is very embarrassed, he only has Zhu Yingtai in his heart, it is impossible to marry Chuncao as his wife, wouldn't taking her away hurt others?
The second uncle secretly said to Shanbo: "You can't refuse, if you refuse, this girl won't be able to live." You can ask her to be a maid for you, and then find her a good family in the future. I'll go out for ten taels of silver, and I'll pay your grandfather when I get home." Besides, isn't there still a shortage of people to serve your mother? ”
Uncle Shan thought about it, it was really not good to have no one around his mother, and he had to do all the work by himself. Look at this girl's hands and feet, like a neat worker. So, Shanbo gave Chuncao's father ten taels of silver and told them that their home was in Shangpu Village, Shangyu, and they could go to see Chuncao in the future, and Chuncao could also come to see you.
Hearing this, Chuncao's father and mother cried with joy, originally forced to give the girl to others, thinking that from now on Tiangao Road will never see each other again, but Engong actually said that they can still meet, the old couple and Chuncao's brother suddenly couldn't help but be overjoyed, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.
Shanbo and the second uncle said goodbye to the villagers, took the spring grass and continued to Qiantang. In front of Longmen Mountain, after the mountain, you will almost reach the boundary of Qiantang.
