Chapter 66: The Folk Women Complain
The old man said, "Live now!" There's food and drink here, and I don't want your store money! When that son recovers, you should go home early, so as not to worry about your family! ”
Wu Yueying hugged her fists and said: "Thank you, uncle, you are such a good person!" ”
Feng Ying asked: "Is the old man a noble surname?" ”
The old man said: "The old man is free of your surname Zhou, and his single name is a full character." ”
Mei Ying asked again: "What is this place?" ”
"This is Shangluo County, and our village is called Zhoujiazhai."
Wu Fengying unloaded her gun and sword, and sat on the edge of the kang: "Uncle, don't you have a wife and children?" ”
Zhou Lao suddenly became very sad and said, "Alas! The son was killed by the thieves in the Black Tiger Village, and the wife cried to death because she missed her son too much! ”
The sisters couldn't bear to see the old man sad, so they didn't ask any more questions.
It was night, and my sister made a fire to cook, so I ate something. After the tea and food are full, they are all served. The bed rested.
By the second day, Miss Fenglian's stomach didn't hurt anymore, and her body was much more comfortable. After discussing it, the sisters felt that it was quite quiet here, so they decided not to leave for the time being, and stayed here for a day or two, so that Sister Fenglian could take care of her spirits, and everyone would rest before leaving.
That night, everyone slept after dinner, Zhang Meiying suddenly heard someone crying outside the window, and after listening carefully, someone was crying, saying: "Sisters, what happened here, how can anyone cry?" ”
Feng Ying said: "No! How could anyone cry in the middle of the night? ”
Meiying said: "My ear has always been good, I can't hear it wrong!" ”
The five women were very curious, and they all sat up, got dressed, and kicked their boots. Grab your weapons and go out. The sisters jumped on the ridge of the house, and followed Zhang Meiying to the crying place for half a mile. When they saw that this was the residence of the young woman who had opened the door last night, they crept to the wall and listened carefully to the cries of the house. It was her man who only listened to the woman's crying, and it was Xu Heihu who scolded her. Five people came to the gate and knocked on the knocker a few times.
The woman stopped crying. He came out and asked, "Why are you again?" ”
Feng Ying said: "Sister-in-law, we are all knights in the rivers and lakes, if you have any suffering, just tell us, maybe we can help you!" ”
The woman looked at them and said, "Forget it, look at your thin and weak appearance." Definitely won't help me much! ”
In order to prove her sister's skills to the woman, Feng Ying turned to Yu'e and said, "Sister, you can fly one and let this sister-in-law verify my sister's true kung fu!" ”
Bai Yu'e stomped her foot up several feet high, and then floated down again.
The woman was dumbfounded. He said, "Oh, the little woman really has eyes that don't know Tarzan, and underestimates a few heroes!" Come, a few little brothers, hurry up in the house, please! ”
When she returned to the house, the woman was busy making tea, serving wine, and stir-frying, and sat down after a while.
Yueying said: "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be so polite. If you need help, just let us know! ”
The woman said, "Alas! Speaking of my bitterness, it is really bitter than Coptis chinensis! My father-in-law's surname is Zhou's name is Dingfang, and his two fathers and mothers were injured by the thieves in Black Tiger Village. Ever since you married me. He and I were very affectionate and affectionate. The child on the kang is my son, who just turned six years old this year. Three months ago, my husband took our mother and son to Chang'an City, and my son almost lost his life, but fortunately he was saved by a white-robed hero. ”
Bai Yu'e said: "Sister-in-law, it turned out to be you!" ”
The woman asked, "...... you?" ”
"I'm the one who saved your son. Don't you know me? ”
The woman looked closely and said, "Oh." What a coincidence, it turned out to be a few of you! ”
It turned out that this woman was the mother of the little boy who Bai Yu'e saved in front of Liu Yulong's horse when Bai Yu'e threw the whip on the day the fifth daughter first entered Chang'an. The five girls all thought it was too coincidental. I didn't expect the world to be so small, and I would meet people I had seen in Chang'an here.
Meiying asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened to you when you went home that day?" ”
The woman continued: "Since then, the husband has never dared to take us out of the house, and he spends his days at home with us every day. Until one day, Xianggong suddenly had a whim, packed up his baggage and went to the south to do business. I was reluctant to let him go, but he insisted on leaving. I thought that since Xianggong had such ambition, how could I not fulfill him, so I let him leave the house. Who would have thought that Xiang Gong should be unlucky, and he met Xu Heihu, the owner of the Black Tiger Village, who tied him back to the mountain and forced him to be a minion. Originally, we were a prosperous family, but I hated that Xu Heihu and the dog thief broke up our loving husband and wife alive, and never let my father-in-law go home again. I miss my husband like the sea, and I hope that he will come home early every day! ”
Wu Fengying slapped the table, glared at the second eye and said angrily: "Woo yes! What a Xu Heihu! This sunny and red day, bright and bright, you dare to rob people casually and break up people's loving husbands and wives alive, you are really guilty of ten thousand deaths! ”
Wu Yueying saw that her sister was angry, afraid that she would go to Xu Heihu desperately, so she hurriedly asked: "Sister-in-law, doesn't the magistrate here care about those thieves?" ”
The woman said, "Alas! That Xu Heihu is strong in martial arts, and his subordinates have reunited with 4,000 minions, which official government dares to offend him? The group of people under him can be said to be robbing horizontally, domineering, and doing everything! They come every three days, and they come every five days, and they take whatever they see. As long as the villagers say something wrong, he will scold lightly, beat him heavily, and even use knives and guns, kill people and set fires, and the villages within a radius of dozens of miles are really unlucky! ”
Yueying said: "But we didn't see the panic of the local people when we came last night? ”
"Childe has just arrived, and I don't know anything. That Xu Heihu repeatedly ordered the people not to create a tense atmosphere, otherwise he would order the slaughter of the village. ”
Feng Ying said: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry! It's not me Wu Fengying who boasts of her ability, if I can't save your father-in-law, I won't be surnamed Wu! ”
Feng Lian also cheered: "Second sister is right, we will go to Black Tiger Village tomorrow to ask for someone!" ”
When the woman heard this, she hurriedly took her son down, and both mother and son fell to their knees, and said, "Oh, it's so good that I have thanked a few benefactors." ”
The five people stood up and helped the mother and son up, comforted them, and when they saw that it was almost the fourth watch, they all returned to Daddy Zhou's house to sleep.
The next day, it was bright. At sunrise in the east, the five girls had breakfast, put on their armor, brought weapons, and said goodbye to Old Man Zhou. Leave him twenty taels of snowflakes of silver. Zhou Lao said that he didn't want any silver, and Hu Fenglian forcibly stuffed him into his arms.
Father Zhou said, "Are you going to leave now?" ”
Yueying said: "Exactly! I've been bothering you at home for two days, and it's time to leave today! ”
Zhou Lao knew that these five children were busy on the road, so he didn't keep them anymore, and said: "Those fathers have gone all the way, and they have the opportunity to come to the cold house again!" ”
The five girls clasped their fists and said in unison: "Daddy, take care." Here we go! Saying that, a few people came to the courtyard, untied the horses, and under the eyes of Zhou Lao, they left Zhoujiazhai and ran towards the Black Tiger Village.
Zhou Quan suddenly remembered something and said, "Oops." I forgot to tell them that the direction is the Black Tiger Village, where there are thieves! This is over, they must be more than lucky! ”
The five sisters walked out of seven or eight miles and found that the mountains in front of them were mountains and mountains, with ups and downs, and they were very steep. If you look closely, the view of this mountain is really good. Strange peaks and strange rocks, cliffs and cliffs, both dangerous and magnificent.
They don't know. In fact, this mountain is called Wuhu Ridge. Why is it called Wuhu Ridge? Because there are a total of five mountains around this mountain, and these mountains are connected to each other, it is called Wuhu Ridge. After the Five Tiger Ridge, it is the Black Tiger Village.
Wu Fengying looked up at the front and said, "Look, how good this mountain is!" Pine and cypress. Strange peaks and strange stones, like a fairyland! ”
Wu Yueying retorted: "If you see it, it's good." Then go up and live. ”
Zhang Meiying and Wu Yueying rode the same horse, and she took advantage of Yueying's words and said with a smile: "Go and talk to the bandits." It's good to be a lady of the village! ”
Wu Fengying turned to look at the two of her and said, "Wow, you two little hooves dare to make fun of me!" See how I treat you! So saying, she urged the horses over and fought with them for a while before parting.
Wu Yueying looked around, feeling murderous, and hurriedly said: "Sisters, the murderous aura is very heavy here, why don't we go to Black Tiger Village!" ”
Without waiting for the other three women to speak, Wu Fengying hurriedly said, "What are you afraid of!" Isn't it just a bunch of bandits, will they still eat us? ”
Yueying said angrily: "Feng Ying, can't you change your temper?" Isn't it a small disaster for you to get into Kyoto? ”
"Isn't there a great calamity?"
"You're crazy! Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble everywhere and injuring those three younger sisters? ”
Zhang Meiying saw that the two sisters were about to quarrel, so she hurriedly said: "Sister, we all have martial arts, and we won't suffer losses if we fight, and it's also a good thing to be able to eliminate harm for the local people." ”
Wu Yueying said: "I'm not afraid of death. The so-called: 'There are thieves in the mountains, and there are thieves in the water.' "Those people are not easy to mess with, and besides, there are 4,000 soldiers, and we are just weak women, so it will not be good if something happens." ”
Hu Fenglian said: "Sister, don't grow up to be majestic and destroy our ambition!" Anyway, we can't go home now, maybe it's okay, and we can still occupy the mountain! ”
Bai Yu'e listened to them in mid-air, and she didn't want to speak, but when she saw that the terrain was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, she couldn't help it, and fell down and said: "Sisters, after all, we are few people and single, and what the eldest sister said is not unreasonable." If you want to take down this Black Tiger Village, you can't fight the enemy, you can only outwit it! ”
"Choking long ......", I suddenly heard the gong in front of me loud, and people shouted horses. I saw twenty or thirty big men pouring out of the dense pine forest, each holding hooks and locks, knives, guns and clubs. The group jumped down the hill and blocked the five sisters' path.
A man in his twenties held a three-strand steel fork and shouted at Wu Yueying and others: "Stop! I opened this road, I planted this tree, I want to pass by from here, and leave to buy road wealth! If you dare to say half a word, I will wait for a knife and a knife, kill or bury, and ask you to go to the lookout platform. If you're afraid of death, get the money quickly! ”
When the five sisters heard this, they all held their weapons in their hands at the same time.
Wu Fengying asked, "Are you asking for money?" ”
The man said, "Yes." ”
"I have the heart to give, but I'm afraid that one won't agree."
"Who would dare not say yes?" (To be continued)
