When the ghosts heard this, they were about to jump on their horses and run away, but Ruda yelled, "I see that one dares to move." ”

The big ghost is finished, and now it's over. Immediately, a call was issued: "Brothers, bow down." The ghosts, who had always obeyed their boss, knelt on the river beach with a thud.

The boss scar ghost Chen Dong arched his hands above his head and said to Luda: "This heroic brother, heroic grandfather, the little ones have eyes and no beads, and they don't know Mount Tai, and I hope that your old man will forgive, forgive, and forgive." Haihan, Haihan, Duoduo Haihan. ”

Luda walked up to the scar ghost Chen Dong and said, "Let me have you covered." ”

Scar Ghost nodded again and again: "Haihan, Haihan"

Ruda added, "Let me forgive you." ”

Scar Ghost nodded again and again: "Forgive, forgive." ”

Ruda smiled and said, "Do you think it's possible?" ”

The Scar Ghost nodded again and again, "Maybe, maybe." ”

Thinking about it wrong, he quickly changed his words and said: "You always say it, you always say it." ”

Ruda laughed and said, "Count you kid interesting." Then if I ask you, you must answer truthfully, or I will throw you into the river one by one to feed the fish. ”

The scar ghost Chen Dong said with a crying voice: "Heroic ancestor, if I don't tell the truth, let alone feed the fish, you always feed me with chopped cloth and chop cloth, it's okay." ”

Luda said: "Look at your scumbag, let me ask you why you are restless and self-conscious, living a peaceful life at home, and running out to do this hurtful thing." ”

Scar Ghost Chen Dong said: "Look at your old man's home, who wants to put a good life and come out to be a bandit, isn't this a little hairy chicken pretending to be an eagle to play big." ”

Luda said: "Then you guys still have to be bandits." ”

Scar Ghost Chen Dong said: "It's not all forced by people. ”

Luda said: "Someone forced you with a knife on your neck?" ”

Scarface said, "It's more vicious than holding a knife on your neck." ”

"Tell me what's going on?"

Scar Ghost Chen Dong said: "Actually, the eight brothers were originally ordinary people who fished, hunted, and farmed nearby, and they could be regarded as good citizens with families and jobs. However, since the conscription system of two out of five and one out of three was implemented here last year, the originally peaceful life has been shattered. ”

Scarface looked at Ruda and listened with a calm expression, and boldly lowered his hand and continued: "This is the area under the jurisdiction of Wuguan, and we were captured by the people there to be guarded by the guards. We are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also our duty to be soldiers and take care of our families. But as soon as we arrived at Wuguan, we could be regarded as eight lifetimes of mold, the officials not only did not pay us salaries, but also withheld the food of the brothers, all day long hungry and half diarrhea not to mention that they would be beaten and scolded, and the brothers would die there if they did not run away. At this, Scar's tears flowed out, and the ghosts began to cry as well.

After shedding tears, the scar ghost stopped crying and said: "I ran home and saw that the whole village was empty, not only did everyone run away, but even the chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs were missing, and as soon as we gritted our teeth and stomped our feet, we went up the mountain to become bandits." ”

After listening to the statement of the scar ghost Chen Dong, Luda looked up at the ghosts and asked, "Is that what he said?" ”

The ghosts said: "Yes, what the eldest brother said is the truth." ”

Luda sighed and said, "Tong Fei is not that dog official, and his heart is too ruthless. ”

The fourth handsome face covered his face and said: "It's not Tong Fei, now the soldiers and horses in Wuguan have already been replaced." ”

Luda said: "Then, the dog officer surnamed Tong ran there." ”

The handsome-faced ghost horse flew and said: "It is said that that guy was transferred to the capital in the first month of this year. ”

Ruda kicked away a stone with hatred and said, "Hurry up and let this dog officer run away." ”

Scar Ghost said: "Heroic grandfather, do you have an old man who has a grudge against that child?" ”

Ruda waved his hand to stop Scarface's words and said, "Say, you guys have done those bad things?" ”

The scar ghost cried and said: "The brothers are just riding horses, holding knives, guns and weapons, scaring and scaring people, and robbing some money and goods." ”

Luda said with a murderous face: "Have you ever killed someone, **** a woman?" ”

Scar Ghost said: "Brother grabbed some money, and the items were forced to do it in desperation, and if you borrow a few of our guts, you can't do the murder and arson of **** women, it's too inhuman to do that." ”

Luda said: "Since you haven't done anything heinous, then stand up." ”

A few ghosts, thanks to them, got up from the river beach.

As soon as the Scar Ghost saw that Luda had opened the net, he said with a smile on his face: "Hero, since you are so magnanimous, why don't you go to our cottage to have a look, anyway, it's getting late now, and there is no ferry to cross the river, so you can't just spend the night on this beach." ”

The ghosts also came forward to persuade them.

Ruda saw that they didn't have any malicious intent, so he said, "Okay then." I'll go with you to the cottage and settle down. ”

When the ghosts heard this, they hurriedly ran over to lead Luda's Dawan horse, asked the gods to help Luda into the saddle, and rushed to the cottage.

With those ghosts, Luda ran five or six miles upstream along the bank of the Yellow River and came to the foot of a mountain that was not too high.

The scar ghost pointed to the mountain and introduced to Luda: "Hero, this mountain is called Yigongling, and our cottage is on the mountainside. ”

Everyone will be chained to a forest at the foot of the mountain, and climb up the winding path to the cottage of the Yellow River Baxiong.

The cottage they talk about is actually a huge stone cave halfway up the mountain.

There are about two people in the stone cave, seven or eight zhang long, six or seven zhang wide, ** people go in and it seems very spacious. There are more than a dozen pine oil torches inserted on the stone wall of the cave, which illuminates the cave bright and warm, and in the middle of the cave there is a large platform made of large willow wood that is used as a table, and on each side there are four tree stumps that are used as stools. It seems that these eight ghosts are very particular about the equality of everyone, and they are all equals every day.

Wu Liang, the elder brother of the eight people, moved one of the tree stumps to the first place towards the entrance of the cave, and ran into the cave on tiptoe, took a goatskin and spread it on it, and said to Luda respectfully: "Good man, our place is too simple, please sit down." ”

Ruda didn't give in, walked there and sat down and said, "Let's all sit down too." ”

The scar ghost paid as the boss and said: "Sixth, seventh, eighth, you three hurry up and prepare wine and food, and our brothers will accompany the good man to chatter first." ”

Then the scar ghost clenched his fists and saluted Ruda respectfully: "I'm really sorry, I don't know the hero's surname after a long time of dealing with him, and I don't know if the hero can tell him." ”

Luda said: "My name is Luda, and I am from Yongzhou City. ”

When the scar ghost heard this, he said, "It turns out that you are the Lu Da who rebelled against the martial arts." ”

Before finding Tong Fei, Luda was reluctant to reveal his whereabouts, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, so he said: "I am Luda, not the Lu Da you said, you may have heard it wrong." ”

Scar Ghost said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I really misheard." ”，

At this time, the sixth, seventh, and eighth brothers brought large pots and small bowls to the table and said, "The wine and food are here, and the banquet is open." ”

Luda looked at the table, heh, they really turned out the old bottom of the house, smoked rabbit meat, stewed pheasant, braised wild boar, stir-fried wild celery, steamed Yellow River carp, the whole big table is almost full, can make so many things on this barren mountain and wild mountains, it can be regarded as rich, but there is one thing, these things are

After salting, I can't taste a little bright flavor.

Scar Ghost picked up the wine bowl and said, "I'm sorry Lu Yingying, there is really nothing delicious here, so you can eat it." ”

Luda saw the Yellow River Baxiong treating himself so respectfully and said, "It's nothing, it's good that you can have a piece of enthusiasm." ”

Ruda saw that although they were the kings of the mountain, it was not easy to live, in order to facilitate storage and preservation, they ate all pickled things, and they wore ragged clothes and searched for them, not to mention that they lived in such a dark and damp cave. I secretly scolded the Son of Heaven that day only knew that he was eating, drinking and having fun, and the officials were even more lawless, treating the lives of the common people as grass mustard.

Luda has heard that the Great Song Dynasty once had a glorious history, that is, the Emperor of the Holy Ming Renzong Son of Heaven since the beginning of the first year of the Heavenly Sage's dragon throne, widely open and kind words, reuse virtuous people, listen to Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Fan Zhongyan and other honest and honest ministers of the advice, vigorously develop the agricultural and industrial economy, and implement the policy of hiding the wealth of the people, not only so that the country's financial revenue has been greatly improved, but also has a large amount of savings, the people have their fields, the workers have their labor, and the businessmen have their benefits, It can be said that the country is safe, the people are happy, but the good times are not long, after 22 years of wind and rain in Yingzong and Shenzong, after Zhezong Zhao Xu ascended the throne, the Manchu Dynasty began a new party for 18 years, the internal struggle of the old party, staged one after another, you sang the farce of my stage, so that the country's various measures and systems, the order is changed day by day, the government is out of many ways, and the economy of the whole country is declining. It is even more of a rat under the bean soil, and one generation is not as good as the other. Although this Emperor Weizong said that he was talented and intelligent, but as the king of a big country, he did not practice the way of politics and the country, preferred the study of Lao Zhuang, and had a deep hobby for calligraphy, gold and stone carving, etc., and loved ingenuity, poured out the financial resources of the treasury, used the labor of the people, collected the world's rare treasures, and gradually made it impossible to make ends meet, and began to take wealth from the people. The common people are deeply tormented, in order to survive, people have to tear the cloth as a banner, uncover the pole, everywhere people are forced, occupy the mountains of the mountains, according to the villages, the great rivers and mountains are in a storm.
