Wang Chang and other mountain bandits, who have lived in Hutou Mountain for a long time, are more familiar with the terrain of Hutou Mountain than the officials and soldiers, Liu Gouwa and others under his leadership, familiar with the road, sneaked down Hutou Mountain, easily, bypassed the officials and troops under the mountain, and hurriedly went to Changmaoyuan Township in the northwest direction.

The mountain bandits walked the mountain road for about two hours, and then came to the outside of the Changmaoyuan Township, only to see that there were only about 100 households in the Changmaoyuan Township, which was between two small ridges.
Because of the remote location, the villagers built a wall against bandits on the mountain, forming a complete township fort, but the wall is not very high, and the two can climb over it by shoulder.
When Wang Chang and the other mountain bandits touched the edge of the wall, they were discovered by the villagers guarding the fort, and the warning gong rang out, and a few hunting arrows were sparsely placed in the fort, which shot and injured the two mountain bandits beside Wang Chang.
When Wang Chang saw this, he was immediately furious, and he didn't hide his figure, stood up, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, rush in and kill them all, so that you can get out of this breath." ”
Liu Gouwa saw that he was angry, and he wanted to kill innocents indiscriminately like Xiao Song Cheng, so he hurriedly grabbed him and said urgently: "Didn't we say okay, we can't kill innocents indiscriminately anymore, just rob property." ”
Wang Chang was almost shot by the hunting arrows in the fort, he was resentful, he was furious, shook off Liu Gouwa's hand, and shouted angrily: "Innocent birds, our brothers almost shot those birdmen in the fort to death, and don't care if they die, brothers, give it to me!" Kill all these birdmen. ”
"Can't get on!" Liu Gouwa stopped loudly, and then said to the mountain bandits: "Think about it, many of you are nearby villagers and mountain people, and you have to go up to Hutou Mountain, and fall into the grass, if one day, when you unfortunately grab your village, you will also kill your relatives, parents, uncles and brothers in your village, what do you think?" ”
All the mountain bandits lowered their heads when Liu Gouwa said it, and when they heard Wang Chang shouting, the mountain bandits who wanted to rush forward couldn't help but stop and hesitate.
Seeing this, Wang Chang glared at Liu Gouwa angrily, and reprimanded loudly: "No, what do you eat and drink, don't you want money and food?" Deng Ergou, you go first. ”
Deng Ergou paced out slowly, lowered his head and muttered, "Big... The big head, I think the four-headed man is right, there are many brothers in our cottage, there are many relatives and friends in the nearby village fort, so to kill, I am afraid that I will offend other brothers in the cottage, when we were in Xiao Song City, we killed Zhang Gouzi's cousin and defiled Li Cripple and his sister, they came to me every day to complain, I was very annoyed. ”
"Then if you don't kill them, will they still give you the money and grain? Then drink the northwest wind, and go. Wang Chang saw that Deng Ergou, who he trusted the most, also refuted his face, and his heart was full of anger, and he couldn't help but say coldly.
Under the prevention of Liu Gouwa, the mountain bandits refused to enter the fort to kill, Wang Chang was in a dilemma, only to see the castle wall, standing out of a gray-haired old man, looking at the sword outside the fort wall, the murderous mountain bandits, trembling to Liu Gouwa and others shouted loudly: "Heroes, the old man is the lord of the castle of Hongxiang Fort, I don't know which mountain you heroes are the king, please forgive me for the offense." ”
Wang Chang was angry in his heart, and turned a deaf ear to the old man's words, just looked at the old man and sneered slightly. Seeing this, Liu Gouwa couldn't help but step forward, hugged her fists and said, "Okay, let's come from Hutou Mountain." ”
The old man was stunned when he heard this, obviously he heard that Liu Gouwa and others were from Hutou Mountain and were shocked, and the big robbery in Xiao Song City had already spread all over the nearby ten miles and eight towns. Then, I heard the old man ask cautiously: "I don't know all the heroes on Hutou Mountain, what are you doing to come to the castle?" ”
"Our Hutou Mountain, now besieged by officers and soldiers for many days, lack of some grain and grass, we have come to borrow from your fort, and I hope that the old castle lord will help him, and he will report after the great grace." Liu Gouwa explained her intention to the old man straight to the point.
"Hehe, this leader is good to say, this year's harvest is not good, and every household in our fort is also short of food, but all the heroes have come from afar with great efforts, and the castle still tries its best to prepare some money and food to help you heroes, don't be too little." The old man on the fort wall saw what Liu Gouwa said kindly, so he also laughed and laughed.
After a while, the gate of the fort opened, and several villagers in the fort used wooden wheels to push out two carts of grain, on which a small bag of silver coins was placed, and there were also two packets of wound medicine.
The villagers pushed the grain out of the fort gate not far away, and then turned back to the fort in a panic. Wang Chang was about to say something, but Liu Gouwa hurriedly grabbed him again, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wang, if you get the benefits, go quickly, the sound of the gong in the fort just now can be heard three miles away, beware of the officers and soldiers cutting off our retreat." ”
"This little bit of food is not enough to stuff the teeth, so let them go like this?" Wang Chang looked at the two carts of grain and asked in a cold voice with unwillingness.
Liu Gouwa wanted to laugh in her heart, looking at Wang Chang's greedy appearance, it was too little to have these two carts of grain, and she didn't know how big his teeth were. Seeing that he didn't plan to leave, Liu Gouwa couldn't help but say again: "Even if we kill it now, we won't have time to grab things, the officers and soldiers have fast horses, and they will arrive in an instant, and we won't be able to go then." ”
"I'm afraid of a bird." Wang Chang said stiffly, but he still ordered the mountain bandits to carry the two carts of grain and return the same way.
Not long after Liu Gouwa and the others left Changmaoyuan Township, they heard a rumbling sound of horses' hooves and galloped towards Changmaoyuan Township.
Soon, in the direction of Changmaoyuan Township, there was another sound of horns with three long and two short. Liu Gouwa knew that this was a cavalry who had just arrived in Changmaoyuan Township, and when he found out that Liu Gouwa and the others had just fled, he used a horn to deliver a message or order.
Now that his whereabouts have been exposed, Liu Gouwa ordered the mountain bandits to go up the mountain nearby and go around the mountain back to the cottage. Go up to the Hutou Mountain Range, only to see the foot of the mountain, on the way to come, the flag is fluttering, there are several teams of sergeants are intercepting and surrounding at various crossings, the mountain bandits saw it, they couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat again, glad that they did not return according to the original way after that, and escaped a catastrophe.
Although the Hutou Mountains are high and densely forested, the road is rugged and tortuous, thorny, and there is no easy way to walk under the mountain, but the mountain bandits are accustomed to taking mountain roads, and they have avoided the interception and pursuit of the officials and soldiers, they are all elated, praise Liu Gouwa's foresight, and admire Liu Gouwa. Wang Chang seemed to have been snubbed by the mountain bandits, his face was gloomy all the time, and he hurried away in a muffled voice, never saying a word.
It took more than half the time than when they went, and the mountain bandits staggered back to the Hutou Mountain Cottage, and the mountain bandits who were cut by thorns along the way had their hands, feet and faces cut off, and as soon as they returned to the cottage, they scolded and scolded those officials and soldiers for not going away, eating enough and having nothing to do, and following them all day long to eat fart.
These mountain bandits are full of ruffianism, usually they love to brag, this time they returned to the cottage safely, and they added oil and vinegar to their own people, how to be heroic and majestic in Changmaoyuan Township, under the majesty, without spending a single soldier, they forced the villagers to obediently hand over the food, three kowtows and five kowtows to send them away, and how under the wise leadership of Liu Gouwa, and the officers and soldiers under the mountain fought wits and courage, and played with those officers and soldiers, before returning to the mountain triumphantly The classic story, publicized in the cottage, so that the mountain bandits left behind in the cottage admired and yearned, is also full of admiration for Liu Gouwa.
Wang Chang returned to the cottage and saw the mountain bandits in the cottage, full of flattery to Liu Gouwa, with a look of admiration, and his face couldn't help but be gloomy.
