Liu Erha was very vigilant, looking left and right from time to time, and his right hand was always on guard against the handle of the big knife.

The same is true of several of his brothers, who are all old hunters after all, and their vigilance is not bad.

A few people slowly approached, walked through the darkest place, and slowly left, seeing that they had seen the big lantern on the county gate in front of them, and then they were relieved.

Home is in sight, and everyone is happy again.

In fact, they didn't know that in the ditch under the bend just now, there were still messy traces of ambush.

"Where's the man?"

Not far away, in an open field, the light of a bonfire illuminated the surroundings.

Cheng Ming sat on a log with a lit branch in his mouth. White smoke curled up, with a faint smell of smoke.

"Don't speak? Do you not understand? Or do you disdain to answer? ”

Behind Cheng Ming stood a row of black-clothed people, they were neatly arranged and motionless.

Seventeen or eighteen people knelt in front of them, their clothes were ragged, and their bodies were bound several times by ropes thick as their arms, and they could not move.

These people were still in a daze, completely unaware of what was going on.

Obviously, he was still in ambush just now, and when he was about to wait for the fools to approach, he suddenly jumped out and gave them a few hard blows, and then grabbed the silver and ran.

Why did you suddenly change the location when you opened your eyes?

No, dude was kidnapped, right?

Thinking wildly in his heart, they were all stunned there, and they didn't hear Cheng Ming's question at all.

Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and did not speak, only one man looked at him without blinking.

Cheng Ming took down the branch from his mouth, shook it from side to side twice, and couldn't help laughing when he saw that his eyes were also rolling.

"What? Do you like this too? ”

A black man walked up next to him, lifted the person up, pulled the rope twice, and put it in front of Cheng Ming.

Cheng Ming threw him a twig.

"The branches of the leaf roll tree have a mellow taste, but they are a little spicy! It is also a special species in the back mountain, and you will never find it anywhere else, so try it. ”

The man licked his lips, took the branch in his mouth, and inhaled it like Cheng Ming, and sure enough, a trace of smoke rose from the front end.

Cheng Ming squinted his eyes and watched the man swallow the clouds and spit out the fog, not in a hurry at all.

After a while, the man said: "Thank you to this king, since the five acres of tobacco fields at home were destroyed, I haven't touched tobacco for several years, and now I can be regarded as getting what I want." ”

"The King?"

Cheng Ming was a little stunned, what is this called.

The man was also stunned when he saw Cheng Ming's reaction, and said, "Aren't you here to hunt us down?" When we fled, we stole a lot of grain and grass from God, and He could not have let us go. ”

"God One Yuan?"

Cheng Ming is full of question marks, and he is not a student of history, so naturally he will not know who Shen Yiyuan is.

Shen Yiyuan is the leader of a group of chaotic people in Shanxi, in fact, very early, short-tempered and bold, rampant, when he became a climate, Li Zicheng was still in the camp as a small soldier, and took his nephew to carefully please his boss.

However, this person is an out-and-out bastard, without the slightest national concept, in order to make his own fortune, he can not hesitate to collude with the northern Tatar departments of the Great Wall to attack the Jingbian camp. It's a pity that this person has big eyes and a small belly, and his ability can't match his ambition, so he throws himself into the street very miserably.

However, his younger brother Shen Yikui is a figure, and in the first half of Chongzhen's fourth year, he almost swept through Ningxia Town, Qingyang Prefecture, and tossed the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region well.

No matter how bad Cheng Ming learned history, he could hear that he was speaking Shanxi dialect, so he thought about it and asked,

"From Shanxi? How's that over there? ”

The man sighed, shook his head and didn't speak.

Cheng Ming nodded understandingly, Shanxi is the place where the trouble is the most, otherwise Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong would not have appeared.

"Let's go, get out of the Cross Slope!"

Cheng Ming got up to leave, although he knew that the man's hands must have been stained with blood, but he was not a judge, and he had no power to decide the life or death of others. Let him go, out of sight is pure.

Who would have thought that the man would fall to his knees with a bang and shout: "King, we want to go up the mountain!" ”

“(⊙o⊙)…”

Cheng Ming was stunned for a moment, and he actually kowtowed: "The king accepted us." From Shanxi to Henan, all the way to Shandong, we have 100 brothers who have died and scattered, and now there are only a few of us left.

The officers and soldiers treated me as a homeless person, and the people were mostly wary of us, not to mention that we had no silver in our hands, even if we had silver, we couldn't buy food, and our household registration was completely lost, and we couldn't do it if we wanted to be a Ming Shunmin again. For the sake of our brothers, who dare to fight and have some strength, accept us and give us food! ”

More than a dozen of them who were tied up were even more clever, and shouted directly: "Take us and give us food!" ”

Cheng Ming was speechless and completely misunderstood.

Could it be that the black store is open and is going to become a copycat?

He thought for a moment and pointed in one direction: "There is a cave twenty miles away, you go and rest first, and I will ask someone to send the food later." All in good spirits and waiting for my orders! ”

Hearing two voices, these people's eyes brightened, and they shouted: "Yes, big boss!" ”

"Call the president!" Cheng Ming shook his head.

Two men in black went over to loosen their ties and led them to the cave, Cheng Ming sat by the bonfire for a while, thought about this matter before and after, and laughed dumbly.

"I don't farm and climb science and technology, and I don't want to be an official to do reforms, and it's not bad to be a bandit leader! Now that the back mountain is developing smoothly, it is time to establish a food club, after all, there are some special ingredients that still need to be collected by sending people!

The wings of the butterfly have flapped, and I don't know what kind of waves will be set off, so I am really looking forward to it! ”

----

In the backyard of the inn, more than a dozen people have been waiting for a long time, drinking tea over and over again, stomping around and around, but not seeing the people who are waiting.

Just when these people were about to sit still, the door opened, and Sun Jiuniang walked in.

She walked over in a hurry, picked up the teapot on the table, poured herself a cup of tea, drank it all, wiped her mouth and said: "Hurry up and say something, my mother has been busy all day, and her brain hurts, but I don't have time to take care of you!" ”

Everyone knew her temperament, and they didn't care.

An old man said with a smile: "Jiuniang is straightforward, fast and fast-talking, and the little old man will not go around in circles." Today, more than a dozen of us got together to ask Sun Jiuniang to make it convenient, so that we can also get a piece of the pie on this cross slope! ”

"If you want to build a store here, you can build it, and I'm not a county master, how can I manage this?"

"The county magistrate can't manage the cross slope, in the era of Liangshanbo, the cross slope is the territory of Erlong Mountain."

Sun Jiuniang narrowed her eyes, "Shopkeeper Feng, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It's nothing, I just want to ask Boss Sun if the special realgar powder in his hand can share one or two? More than a dozen of our shops were established, which was a bustling street, gradually attracting displaced people to move in, and when the population reached a certain number, it was naturally a small county town. I'll wait for more than a dozen families to control the back mountain and make a fortune together, how about it? ”

Sun Jiuniang smiled and didn't speak.

Shopkeeper Feng said again, "Look at me, the most important thing is not even said. As long as you give me this special realgar powder, I Feng Ji Pharmacy will give you 100 taels of taps to the inn every month, which is much more worry-free than your current piecemeal takeaway! ”

There were a few people left to help, "Yes, Boss Sun is lucky, every month people do it at home, and 100 taels of silver fall from the sky, I can't find this kind of good thing!" ”

"Huh! Not to mention, hearing you say that, I'm really moved!

I can't wait to give you this prescription right away. It's a pity that you've found the wrong person, and this prescription is not in my hands! Don't say you give 100 taels, even 1000 taels a month, and I don't have anything to exchange with you. ”

Shopkeeper Feng's face turned cold, "Jiu Niang, it's not interesting for you to say that!" We don't know each other for a day or two, how many special realgar powder you go out of your store every day, what do those mud legs hunt in the back mountain, and how much do they sell. I've got that here.

Jiu Niang, the back mountain is too big, there are too many prey, you can't eat it yourself! ”

Sun Jiuniang spread her hands, "I understand what you said, with the relationship between the shopkeeper Feng, even if you borrow one or two thousand soldiers and horses to go into the mountains to hunt, of course, you can't look down on those mud-legged hunters." You look anxious, I know this. But this recipe is really not in my hands! ”

"Oh? In whose hands is that? ”

"My chef, let's just tell you, if it weren't for the nod of our chef, you would come to me a hundred times again, and I wouldn't be able to come up with the recipe!" That's all I say, I believe you, I don't care if I don't believe in my wife! Let's go! ”

Saying that, Sun Jiuniang stood up, went out of the door like a gust of wind, and disappeared.

These people in the side hall looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and finally focused their eyes on Shopkeeper Feng.

"Old Feng, what do you think about this? Is this girl's words true or false? ”

"Humph!" Shopkeeper Feng snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, since she showed her a way, then let's try it." But before that, the slap we prepared will also be beaten, and the remnants in the Erlong Cottage are deeply gangster, and they do not accept Wang Hua. After such a big stick is subdued, he will be honest and obedient. ”

"I know what you mean, let's go prepare!"

"Remember, the storm doesn't give her a breathing room!"

"Yes!" Everyone nodded yes.

Sun Jiuniang returned to her small courtyard, closed the door, and finally relaxed.

Sitting at the table stunned for a while, I don't know what I remembered, and a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

"Call you okay to bully me! What do you do this time?

is obviously a little brat, even the beard on his mouth is hairy, and he dares to teach his mother a lesson? What if you discovered Erlong Mountain? It's not that you can't go up!

Hmph, at a young age, he pretends to be an adult all day long, and he doesn't know what he thinks in his heart. When you can't resist this time, I will come to the rescue and let you worship my Erlong Mountain! Killing two birds with one stone, the best of both worlds, what a clever plan! ”

Thinking of this, Sun Jiuniang giggled to herself.
