This shout exposed the action, originally according to Professor Wan's plan, the ******** was put in the jujubes, and the acute poison was put in the porridge, and after the bandits drank the porridge and were poisoned, the jujube poison reappeared, and then took the opportunity to rush in, and the people in the troupe should be together, and they could beat them like soup and snow, who knows, the two bandits went out of the wall and broke the plan, so they could only launch an attack in advance.

In the theater, there was a shout: "Who, something happened." "Brethren, there's a leak."

Shi Suo jumped into the cloth wall in one step, a large group of bandits inside, just filled the porridge to drink, some only drank two or three sips, the poison did not occur, a chaos, from a tent next to it, Hua Jinxiu rushed out with people, and there was a big chaos in the field. The stone lock rushed towards a few strong men who looked like bandits.

A tall middle-aged man shouted next to him: "Don't panic, there are few ideas, catch them." ”

Li Mei, who rushed in behind Dafeng, saw that the shouting person was the leader, raised a crossbow in his hand, three small arrows, and flew straight over, the man saw the golden light flashing in front of him, and hurriedly dodged, the small arrow came quickly, dodged one, did not dodge the second, on the arm and stomach, each hit an arrow, screamed, and fell to the ground.

"Okay," Dafeng cheered, waved the rope in his hand, hung a dagger on the head of the rope, like a meteor hammer, and cut two bloody holes on the faces of the two bandits, she was like an angry lioness, jumping and jumping, invincible, the flying knife on the rope pointed to the east and west, and in an instant, several bandits were injured by her, and the stone lock was beside it.

The people of the Hua Jinxiu opera troupe, most of them have martial arts, at this time, carrying all kinds of weapons, shouting and rushing to the bandits, Hua Jinxiu is holding a three-section stick, a girl next to him, holding a seedling gun, Shi Suo recognized that it is Hua Jinxiu's daughter, the two of them led more than ten opera actors, joined the war group, at this time, in other tents, people from other theater troupes also poured out, some hid aside, some picked up the chairs and sticks at hand, and also joined the battle, and some ran around, and the scene became more and more chaotic. Professor Wan shouted from the side: "Brothers, catch the bandits, don't run around, the opportunity to catch the bandits has come." ”

Someone heard the shout, picked up the weapon to join the battle, the bandits were eating, unprepared for battle, all of a sudden was beaten, the leading man was shot by Li Mei's two arrows, but Li Mei's arrow shaft was slender, not fatal, the big man rolled over, got up, dripping blood on his body and staggered away, the stone lock caught up, waved the big stick and hit, two or three bandits came next to him, desperately resisted, stopped the stone lock, and made a mess.

Hua Jinxiu shouted loudly: "Brothers, catch the bandits, the time has come to be saved." "Take the lead, rush to the bandits, a group of men, desperately rush to kill, the bandits in their hands threw their jobs to the ground, too late to get weapons, a ghost cried wolf, was killed and fled in all directions.

Dafeng saw that Shisuo was surrounded by three or four bandits, and ran over in two steps, and with a flick of the rope, one bandit was dragged to the ground by her, and the rest of the bandits saw that she was fierce, so they turned around and ran.

There were a few bandits, seeing that Li Mei was young and a girl, and wanted to pick a bargain, so they came over and grabbed it, the crossbow arrows in Li Mei's hand had been shot, and it was too late to reload the arrows, she was not panicked, her body shook, dodged a punch from a bandit's face, and kicked the other bandit into the waist, kicking the bandit back two steps and sitting on the ground. Li Mei stretched out her hand and pulled out the lancet, dancing with a knife light, killing the bandits.

Hua Jinxiu's daughter was shot with a seedling gun, a shot stabbed a bandit in the arm, and Li Mei converged, the two girls were back to back, knives and guns were raised, punches and kicks, left and right stabs, the enemy was three or five people, Shi Suo roared and arrived, whirring two sticks, and the bandits besieging the two girls scattered and fled.

At this time, more and more people from other troupes joined the battle group, the bandits were difficult to parry, from the group of bandits next to the stage, a long whistle sounded, all the bandits left their opponents and fled outward, Hua Jinxiu was bullied by the bandits for a long time, seeing that the bandits were about to escape, their eyes were red, they held three sticks, and they chased after them, several bandits turned around and resisted desperately, Professor Wan hurriedly shouted: "Don't chase the poor guys." ”

Hua Jinxiu woke up suddenly, stopped, put away the three sticks, Shi Suo and Dafeng and others were no longer pressing, and the bandits were like wearing rabbit shoes one by one, escaping from the theater and leaving the wilderness.

This battle was a complete victory, everyone cheered, hugged Shi Suo and others, and thanked them silently, several actresses from the troupe took Dafeng's hand and praised her as "contemporary Mulan", Hua Jinxiu's daughter pulled Li Mei and said excitedly: "Sister, where did you come from?" My name is Yuerong, you are younger than me, why are you so capable. ”

People from various theater troupes gathered together, and some shouted: "Brother Hua, where did you invite the savior?" Some said, "The bandits will come to retaliate, so let's run." ”

Professor Wan stood on the stage and said to everyone, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me." ”

The crowd gradually quieted down, and Professor Wan said: "Don't be afraid, even if the bandits come again, there is nothing to be afraid of, our number is actually more than twice as many as the bandits, and many people have martial arts, why are they pinched by the bandits?" It's because of the uneven hearts and selfish intentions that they are broken by each one, as long as they are twisted into a rope, are you still afraid of these twenty or so bandits? Think about it, even if we don't come today, if you can unite and fight the bandits together, I'm afraid that the bandits will be defeated a long time ago, right? ”

When the people below heard this, they all said yes, and some of them showed ashamed expressions.

"Therefore, unity is the magic weapon to win, shrink your head and shrink your head, short-sighted, you are destined to be oppressed, let's join forces, single-mindedly, even if these bandits return now, what are we afraid of?"

"Well said." Hua Jinxiu shouted.

Someone below shouted, "Brother Hua, we will listen to you in the future, let's do it together." ”

"Yes, our troupe was brought together by bandits, and it can be regarded as fate, let's do it together in the future." The people below shouted in a chaotic manner.

Hua Jinxiu also jumped on the stage, "Brothers, what should we do in the future, you can discuss it slowly, right now, according to me, this knowledgeable eldest brother, led these heroes to save us from the fire, and what he said is full of our thoughts, let's let him reason with us, are you willing to listen?" ”

"Yes." A shout was heard far away.

From the tent where the bandits lived, in addition to the knives, guns, weapons, and goods and supplies that were found, there was also a bright and shiny iron plaque with four small characters on the card: Iron Lake Conference. It was that "Iron Lake".

Shi Suo took the iron card in his hand and smiled, "It's just right, we are going to the Iron Lake Conference, and we still lack a pass, so we have prepared it here." ”

Li Mei said: "My father also went to the Iron Lake Conference, and I happened to go with you. ”

Everyone cleaned up for a while, and Hua Jinxiu repeatedly kept Professor Wan and others for two more days, Professor Wan said: "We still have something to do, and besides, you'd better not stay here for a long time, although the bandits have escaped, they will come back if they can't keep it." ”

"Don't be afraid," Hua Jinxiu said confidently: "After your teaching, everyone has gathered their hearts, and if the bandits dare to come back, we can also beat them." ”

"No, if the bandits collude with the government, the scourge will be even greater and more difficult to deal with. This Iron Lake card was given to them by the warlords, and the root cause of the chaos in the world and the rampant bandits is that the officials are not governed clearly and the government is dark. ”

"You're right, it's more troublesome to mess with the government than to provoke bandits. We'll be right away. ”

Hua Jinxiu's daughter Hua Yuerong was reluctant to Li Mei, and the two girls talked for a long time before they said goodbye.

Professor Wan and his entourage were separated from the opera troupe, and set off on the road, along the way, Li Mei collected flowers and plants along the road, soaked and dried, just like an old Chinese medicine doctor, Shi Suo and others were very surprised, Li Mei said: "My father is a doctor, I have been collecting medicine and medicine since I was a child, what is so strange." ”

On this day, the crowd approached the Iron Lake. The iron lake is not big, the lake surface is calm, but it is a reed bush by the lake, stretching for several miles, several times larger than the lake, the water ducks are all over the place in the reeds, the reed flowers are fluttering, the scenery is very beautiful.

Tiehu Village is close to the reeds by the lake, the village is not big, there are reed stacks in front of the house, the mat stacks, it seems that weaving reed mats is the main business, Shi Suo said: "Here are reeds and reed mats everywhere, if A-Ning comes, he will definitely be able to show his skills." ”

The lake is several miles away, barren and vast, where is the place of the "Iron Lake Conference", everyone has no clue, and after asking in the village for a while, the villagers are all dazed and shake their heads, "What will?" We've never had meetings here, and we don't have meetings. ”

Li Mei rolled her eyes and asked, "In the lake, by the lake, are there any grass bandits or something?" ”

"Shh," an old man from the village hurriedly said, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense, those underworld masters are all ghostly, don't offend them." ”

"Where are they usually?"

"On the edge of the lake, there is a fairy platform in the reeds, where is the old camp, when you walk, you must hide far away." The old man kindly advised.

Out of the village, Professor Wan praised: "Xiaomei, you still have a lot of eyes, that's right, if you find the bandits' nest, it will not be difficult to find the Iron Lake Conference." ”

Li Mei smiled, "Uncle Wan, you are a great literati, but when it comes to the knowledge of rivers and lakes, you are not as good as me." ”

Indeed, Professor Wan, Shi Suo, and Dafeng are not as good as Li Mei for the various doorways on the rivers and lakes. Li Mei has been wandering the rivers and lakes with her father since she was a child, and she can be regarded as experienced. The four people walked along the road to the reeds, only to see the wild reeds everywhere, pulling the ground to the sky, boundless and bankless, people did not enter it, the top of the head could not be seen, a small road, obliquely branched down, deep into the reeds, Dafeng was curious, and said: "Let's go into the path, maybe we can find bird eggs." ”

Everyone turned off the road according to their words, and got into the grass and reeds deep for one person, the scenery all the way was desolate and primitive, and from time to time there were unknown wild birds and autumn insects, passing by, and several young people were amazed. Li Mei walked in front, reminding everyone how to prevent traps, how to prevent snakes and insects, and how to find bird eggs, which made several adults admire.

"Attention," Li Mei suddenly stopped, signaling everyone to be vigilant, she slowly walked to the front, on the side of the road, there was a low thorn bush, mixed with reeds, Li Mei carefully picked up the thorns, untied two three-edged grass buckles, and took out a small bamboo bow.
