In the middle of the row of stone houses on the mountain, there is a wooden plaque hanging under the eaves, and three gilded characters: Juyi Hall.

It turned out that Liu Song, the owner of the village, had a little ink, but he had heard the story of the heroes of Shuibo Liangshan, so the flag and the hall attacked his name // Li Erhu took Zong Tao to the empty space in front of the hall and stood, and Zhang Daniu ran into the hall to report.

The people in the cottage were not hostile to Zong Tao's gaze, but a little mocking.

Zong Tao expected that the brothers in the village were not extremely vicious people, so he was determined in his heart and looked at the cottage carefully. The northwest corner of a square pond, clear water sparkling, must be the source of the spring. No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang was based on this camp back then.

Just as he was looking, a long shout suddenly came: "Take the fat sheep to the court!" ”

Li Erhu smiled, dragged the rope, and walked into the steps with Zong Tao. One person stood on each side of the hall door, each carrying a fire gun, with a solemn expression; When I entered the hall, there was also one person standing by the door, but he was carrying a spear.

Zong Tao looked up. This hall is large, and there are two Taishi chairs on the front wall. A man in his forties on the left. This man has thick and stiff hair, a ruddy complexion, a broad face and a wide mouth, broom eyebrows, eyes that are a little bulging, a burly figure, a strong physique, unusually long arms, and thick palms and fingers. There is a smile on his face from time to time, like Maitreya Buddha. This is the owner of the village, Liu Song.

The man on the right is in his thirties, with a thin body, small eyes, a collapsed nose, a few goatees, long legs and thin wrists, and a cold complexion. This is the second leader Yu Wanli after Liu Song.

There are three chairs on the left and right, and the chief on the left is the third master, Feng Hanmin, in his thirties, with a black mole the size of a soybean on the left side of his nose, and his eyes are as sharp as hooks; Sitting next to him was Chen Ziqing, the fourth master, who was also around thirty years old, with a full moon face and extremely light eyebrows; The appearance of He Dashan, the fifth master, is thirty-four or five, with a nose and a short figure, but his skin is relatively white.

Gao Jicheng, the sixth master, is the chief of the right row, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a dark red birthmark the size of a palm on his right face, lean and lean, monkey-like, he stared at Zong Tao with a smile.

Zhang Daniu sat in the seat of the seventh master at this time.

Liu Song looked at Zong Tao for a while, weighed a few silver dollars in his hand, and laughed heartily: "Two brothers, why did you catch a thin sheep?" ”

Except for the second leader Yu Wanli, the brothers burst into laughter.

Li Erhu's hand trembled slightly, and the rope fell. He didn't bother to grab it again, and said, "Big brother, I am to blame for this." Seventh Brother didn't want to arrest him, but I was eager to seek merit and walked away. Zhang Daniu hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't blame the eighth brother, it's my idea." Liu Song waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't mean to blame the two brothers, maybe you have made a contribution to the cottage." ”

The cottage brothers caught the wrong fat sheep, and there was indeed a time for meritorious service. Zhang Daniu and Li Erhu glanced at each other and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Zong Tao saw Liu Song staring at him, and smiled faintly: "If the big boss wants to slaughter fat sheep, there are many opportunities." Liu Song sighed and glared at Zong Tao suspiciously: "Is it really as you said?" "There is no falsehood." Liu Song laughed again: "Brother, let's talk about it." Zong Tao was excited and sold a pass: "I'm afraid that everyone in charge will not dare to catch those fat sheep." ”

Liu Song's face sank: "This brother is bullying us, and there is no one in the cottage?" ”

As soon as Liu Song said this, the faces of those leaders were colored.

"Don't dare. It's just that those fat sheep turned into wolves after being forced to hurry! ”

Liu Song slapped his big hand on the chair stall: "Whether it's a sheep or a wolf, in short, if it hits us, it's all prey!" ”

Zong Tao applauded and laughed: "If everyone in the country has the momentum of being a big leader, the Chinese nation will be saved." ”

Liu Song was stunned: "What you are referring to is not the fat sheep in our mouth?" ”

Liu Song said loudly: "Listen to the tone of the big boss, and know that those sheep are Japanese devils." Seventh Brother mentioned that the devil's plane circled on Dawang Mountain a few days ago, and soon it will run to the side of the cottage to spread wild, isn't it to the mouth? ”

Yu Wanli sneered: "Young Master Zong, your soldiers were wiped out by devils outside Nanjing, do you want to fake our cottage and practice the art of killing people with a knife?" ”

Zong Tao dumbfounded Yu Wanli, and also sneered: "Yu Er, what you said is wrong." Do you think that this cottage is a pure land? Of the 300,000 compatriots who died in Nanjing, how many of them had a grudge against the devil? ”

Yu Wanli's face turned red, and he didn't dare to look at Zong Tao.

Zong Tao was righteous and awe-inspiring, and said in a loud voice: "We haven't even had any holiday with the devils even the Bailai brothers. Originally, we could not have gone to Nanjing City, but as the children of Yan Huang, we couldn't let our ancestors be ashamed. Sacrificing one's life for the nation is not only the duty of a soldier, but also the obligation of the descendants of Yan and Huang! ”

The third master, Feng Hanmin, snorted: "Young Master Zong is right, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband." But we are in the mountains, what are we going to do against the planes and artillery of the Japanese devils? ”

Zong Tao glanced at Feng Hanmin gratefully, nodded and said, "Yes, compared to the well-armed Japanese devils, we can only be flesh and blood. But we also have the advantage, that is, China has a vast land, there are dense jungles, and with the valleys and rivers, we can turn the disadvantage into an advantage. The most important thing is that we have a temperament that cannot be insulted! ”

Chen Ziqing, the fourth master, waved his hand and said: "Big words, just empty words." ”

Zong Tao was not angry at all, and said slowly: "Actually, it's not empty words. Let's take our company, for example, less than a hundred people, dragging a squadron of devils, which is a well-equipped team of nearly two hundred devils. But we were not afraid, did not give in. If that battlefield is the topography of Dawang Mountain, I believe that it is not a myth to annihilate the devils. Because we were forced to the Yangtze River, there was no way back. Although our company is gone, there are only more than 20 devils left, is it considered a victory? ”

He Dashan, the fifth master, gave a thumbs up and replied: "Count! With one against two, there is such a result, which is remarkable! ”

Liu Song laughed: "Young Master Zong is a hero!" Untie him, it's not hospitality. Our brothers, we respect heroes! ”

Li Erhu wanted to untie Zong Tao for a long time, but after listening to Liu Song's words, he quickly untied the rope.

Although Zhang Daniu and Li Erhu were not tied very tightly, their hands were numb for more than an hour. Zong Tao moved his muscles and bones, and then hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for raising your noble hands and all the brothers." ”

Gao Jicheng, the sixth master, said with a smile: "The young master of the sect is grateful to us if he doesn't hold a grudge, and he can't afford to thank us." ”

Zong Tao hurriedly said: "They are all descendants of Yan and Huang, a little misunderstanding, that is a very common thing." A brother who does not oppress the good is the one who understands the righteousness of all. ”

Yu Wanli said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense, if the big boss loosens your ties, it means that you can go home." Since you are not a fat sheep, and we have not wronged good people, you can go. ”

Zong Tao was about to speak, Liu Song waved his hand, walked into the hall, circled around Zong Tao, and said with a smile: "Young Master Zong is really the eldest son of Old Master Zong?" ”

Zong Tao smiled: "If it is fake, the descendants of the authentic Zong Dayuan." "The old man of Zong Dayuan is a scholarly family, usually humble and gentle to others, and can be regarded as a good person.

Liu Song stopped and looked at Zong Tao: "Do you calculate that the devil will cross the river?" ”

Zong Tao said categorically: "I will come over soon!" ”

"They're coming to our cottage to the detriment of us?"

Zong Tao looked solemn: "The devil has a big appetite, and he wants to annex the whole of China." Dabie Mountain is the only way for devils to invade the Central Plains, and the devils burn, kill and loot along the way, will they let go of such a team and become their henchmen? ”

That's true.

Yu Wanli coughed dryly: "It is impossible for a devil to sweep away all the cottages. ”

Zong Tao stared at Yu Wanli and smiled slightly: "There is only one kind of team devil who is immortal, and that is to be his lackey." ”

Yu Wanli was annoyed and ashamed, and said angrily: "The young master of the sect agitated the three-inch incorruptible tongue, which is nothing more than trying to pull us into the water and call the brothers to be cannon fodder!" ”

Zong Tao hugged his hands in his arms, glanced at Yu Wanli disdainfully, and did not answer.

Liu Song glared at Yu Wanli dissatisfied: "The second master, what the sect brothers said is true. I have a relative who came from the other side of the river and said that the devils are inhumane, burning, killing, looting, insulting women, and they are indeed some brutes! ”

Yu Wanli was anxious and shouted: "Big boss! ”

Liu Song waved his hand and said: "Our cottage rules have always been to treat people with courtesy. Brother Zong is not a fat sheep, so we have to give him the opportunity to choose. Brother Zong, if you are willing to stay and go, you can choose yourself. ”

Zong Tao was secretly happy in his heart, but pretended to be confused and said, "How can you say this?" ”

"If you want to go, retreat your oceans, send you down the mountain, and if you want to stay, then you have to test your skills, if your skills are strong, we will give you a hand."

He Dashan smiled: "The young master of the sect is pampered, and he has also served as a captain and company commander, can we keep his big hand in the shallow water of the cottage?" ”

He Dashan was very impressed by Zong Tao in his heart and used the radical method.

Zong Tao snorted: "The five masters don't know anything, I go home like this, and I am even more humiliated." The Japanese devil is not destroyed, how can I have the face to go home? ”

Yu Wanli glared and shouted: "Big boss, you heard it, the eldest young master of the sect just wants to use our cottage brothers to fight devils." ”

Liu Song shouted: "Second master, you are wrong about this, the Japanese devils are the common enemy of our nation, they are cruel and unkind, even if we don't offend them, they will definitely come to the door!" ”

Li Erhu shouted: "Young Master Zong is a man, he didn't embarrass us Dabie Mountain people, I support Young Master Zong to stay." ”

Liu Song looked at Zong Tao and smiled slightly: "What do Brother Zong mean?" ”

Zong Tao said loudly: "Just follow the rules of the cottage." I choose to stay! ”

"Good! Then compete on the spot! ”

As soon as Liu Song said it, everyone dared not have any more objections.
