(According to the way of news broadcasting, it should be said that for several consecutive days, the number of red votes of Jiang Ming has continued to grow and hit new highs, maintaining a growth rate of xx percent, and is in the leading position in the world.

This small village, which is only four and a half miles away from the foot of the mountain, is indeed nameless, but Old Man Li did not lie to Feng Xiaoci. I don't know how many years this village has existed, or why people settled here, and gradually formed a village. Li Laohan remembered asking his grandfather when he was young, why is this village nameless? His grandfather thought about it and told him that maybe the first person to settle here was a great man, very famous, and he hid in seclusion by the green water under the green hills, maybe so that others would no longer know that he remembered him, and he wanted to be nameless, so the village was nameless.

Li Laohan didn't understand this answer at that time, and he didn't bother to think about it seriously, but he didn't think about it at all after he grew up and grew old, regardless of whether it had a name or not, it was just an inconsequential trivial matter. If you have time to think about this problem, it is better to nibble on a pig's trotter and drink a few sips of the old wine that you have earned today.

Ordinary farmers are always very stingy, so they don't stay up late and waste lamp oil.

When Old Man Li was nibbling on a pig's trotter and drinking a sip of old wine by moonlight on the stone bench under the big tree in his small yard, his son had already fallen asleep under the quilt early. The son drank a small half of the old wine, leaving him with a large half. And when I came back from the mountain today, the many new meat and wine sent in the cottage and a horse of Shu brocade were placed on Li Laohan's kang, these things for them, the biggest significance is not that they will have wine and meat to eat for at least ten days in the future, but the relationship with those people in the cottage is reassuring.

Because it is preserved, the braised pork is very salty, but it tastes extra fragrant because of the heavy taste.

Thinking of that Shu brocade, the corner of Old Man Li's mouth grinned. The daughter of the old Liu family in the west of the village is an adult, and he plans to ask someone to send this Shu brocade over tomorrow. If the old Liu family accepts it, it will be a great thing to be happy. It's just that his son is almost thirty years old, and his daughter-in-law contracted a serious illness a few years ago and couldn't be cured, and since then the Li family has only left them.

The daughter of the old Liu family is only fifteen, and I don't know if his family will agree.

Just thinking about these things, Old Man Li suddenly raised his head and looked out of the door vigilantly. The fence door was closed, but I don't know when a dark shadow suddenly appeared outside the door. The black shadow stood straight outside the door, and the man's eyes looked exceptionally bright in the moonlight.

This frightened the old man Li and immediately got goosebumps, he stood up violently and stared at the black figure outside the fence door and asked loudly, "What person!" ”

The person outside the door seemed to smile, and then said in a creepy tone: "The one who came to ask for the account." ”

People say that they are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if they don't do bad things, and there is only a fence wall in Old Man Li's yard, a fence gate that can't stop wild dogs. If it's really a ghost, I'm afraid I won't be able to knock if I want to. But the man stood there gloomily, and then said a word about the person who asked for the account, which made Old Man Li fall into an ice cave all of a sudden, and even his hair exploded.

He was about to shout loudly for his son to get up, but suddenly his neck was cold. Old man Li subconsciously looked down, and it turned out to be a steel knife as cold as water stretched out from behind and put it on his neck. A burly man slowly turned from behind him and walked across from him, but the steel knife was still pointed at his neck.

"Hello, old fellow."

The man smiled, eerie.

"It's you!"

Old man Li recognized it, and the one holding the steel knife was the man with a fierce face who was scolded by himself as an idiot and a stupid and stupid person on the roadside at the entrance of the village today. He was shocked, and then realized that he might be dying tonight. After thinking of dying, he suddenly thought again, don't let anything happen that makes him die blindly.

Liu Shibao looked at Old Man Li's frightened and slightly distorted face, and sneered twice, then leaned forward and whispered, "Old guy, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." ”

……

……

Old man Li's son is called Li Mao, when he was sleeping in the bed, he was grabbed by his hair from the kang and pulled down, and when he fell to the ground, he screamed in pain, and subconsciously jumped up to get angry, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately closed his mouth. The room was very bright, but the reluctant oil lamp was not lit, and there were many people in the room, holding torches. His father was grabbed by the hair and pressed to his knees, with a steel knife around his neck.

Li Mao looked at his father, and Old Man Li shook his head slowly, but he didn't know what he meant.

"Who are you?"

He asked loudly.

The gloomy man who looked to be about forty years old holding his father sneered, "We are from Yanyunzhai. ”

"Fart!"

Li Mao rushed forward to rescue his father, but was forced to retreat by two horizontal knives.

"I don't want to talk nonsense, take us up the mountain into Yanyun Village tonight, and leave the surnames of the two of you, otherwise...... I'll kill your father first, of course, he won't die a happy death, and if you don't agree, I'll cut off one of his ears first. If you don't say yes, I'll gouge out one of his eyes, and if I don't say yes, I'll cut out his tongue. There are many opportunities for you not to agree, and it depends on whether your father can survive it. ”

Liu Shibao said with a smile, and gestured at Old Man Li's face with a horizontal knife. The horizontal knife was too sharp, and even if it touched it so lightly, Old Man Li's wrinkled face was immediately cut out of a bloody wound.

"I--you-mom!"

Li Mao's eyes were about to burst out, and he roared angrily, regardless of the two horizontal knives in front of him, he rushed forward and wanted to let his father out. Liu Shibao kicked Li Mao in the chest, and his whole body was kicked backwards. The two soldiers who were waiting for the right guard came up and held down Li Mao one left and one right, Liu Shibao slowly walked in front of Li Mao and looked down at him and said: "Still a filial son, then I'll give you a chance, now I will catch you and let your father go to lead us up the mountain into Yanyun Village, if he doesn't agree, I will kill you little by little, how about it?" ”

Old man Li raised his head sharply and shouted, "Don't! Good man, I beg you, you catch me! Catch me! ”

Liu Shibao shook his head and sighed: "You are not young anymore, maybe you are not afraid of death, but your son is only thirty years old, he may not be afraid of death, but I am sure that you are afraid of him and he is afraid of you death." ”

"Lead the way, or he'll die."

Liu Shibao looked at Old Man Li and said.

"No! Grandpa! Can't lead the way for this brute! ”

Li Mao shouted eagerly.

With a snap, Liu Shibao slapped Li Mao hard, and immediately, half of Li Mao's face was swollen, and blood slowly flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

"Cut out his tongue!"

Liu Shibao said angrily: "Diao Min, I see that you have a hard mouth, or this general's knife is hard!" ”

A soldier on the right side stepped forward and pinched Li Mao's mouth, another person went up to strangle Li Mao's head, and the soldier in front took out a dagger and was about to stab Li Mao in the mouth. Li Mao struggled violently, but he couldn't break free at all when he was held down by three or four soldiers waiting for the right guard.

"I'll bring it!"

Old man Li threw himself on the ground, crying and begging: "I will take you up the mountain, please don't hurt him." ”

"Haha!"

Liu Shibao laughed and said: "That's right, it's worth dying for a gang of thieves?" ”

"Grandpa!"

Li Mao struggled and shouted eagerly: "Can't, Grandpa!" ”

With a bang, Liu Shibao smashed Li Mao's head with the handle of the knife, and suddenly, Li Mao's eyes rolled up and then fell softly. Old man Li rushed over and shook his son while crying, and then he saw blood slowly flowing down from his son's hair, and soon stained half of Li Mao's face. Old man Li hurriedly wiped it, but he couldn't wipe it clean.

"Don't worry, he can't die!"

Liu Shibao picked up Old Man Li: "Let's go, as long as you honestly call open the gate of Yanyun Village, I guarantee that your father and son will not only not die, but will also have great wealth." ”

……

……

The soldiers on the right side of the guard walked through the mountains and forests like ants moving before the rain. They all had a small stick in their mouths, and their horses were munched to prevent making noises. No one spoke in the procession through the dense forest, only the rustling of footsteps and the sound of the wind blowing through the branches. Old man Li walked at the front of the line, and Liu Shibao followed behind him with a horizontal knife against his back.

Behind Liu Shibao was a group of more than 1,000 elite infantrymen, who were the most combative soldiers carefully selected by Feng Xiaoci, and the first wave of the offensive tonight would be launched by them. As long as Old Man Li can deceive the gate of Yanyun Village, as soon as the drawbridge is lowered, they will immediately rush in and snatch the gate.

Li Mao was tied up and walked beside Feng Xiaoci, and the rope was so tight that his upper body was a little sore. Feng Xiaoci rode a horse, glanced sideways at Li Mao, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, as long as your grandfather can open the gate of Yanyun Village, I will not hurt your father and son." We are court officials, not bandits. ”

"Untie him."

Feng Xiaoci commanded.

Li Mao glanced at Feng Xiaoci, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his bloody mouth. His eyes were disdainful, which annoyed Feng Xiaoci.

"Today's incident is indeed a lot of offense, after taking down Yanyun Zhai and capturing the bandit leader surnamed Li, I will report to the court to ask for credit for your father and son, maybe the reward of the court will be enough to make your father and son enjoy the glory and wealth for a lifetime."

Feng Xiaoci said patiently.

Li Mao just sneered, but didn't say a word.

The procession marched in silence, with the occasional nocturnal bird perched on a low branch by the roadside being startled, or a fat hare or two clumsily fleeing into the distance. The road into the mountain is not very difficult, and what is really impossible to cross is the chasm that suddenly appeared in front of the gate of Yanyun Zhaizhai. No one can jump over the bridge without lowering it.

Old man Li walked in front silently, he walked very slowly, so the tyrannical Liu Shibao pushed behind him and scolded: "Don't think of ghost ideas!" If you can't take Yanyun Village tonight, I'll skin your father and son alive first! ”

Hearing this, Old Man Li suddenly stiffened, then smiled desolately, turned back to Liu Shibao and said, "I know that even if our father and son deceive you into opening the gate of Yanyun Village, you will not let our father and son go." ”

Liu Shibao was stunned, and then sneered: "Then it depends on whether your father and son are honest or not." ”

"You let my son walk in the front with me, even if it is death, I want to die with my son."

Old man Li pleaded: "It's all here, I can't die in the end and I can't see my son again." If you don't say yes, I won't leave! ”

"Old thing, you're looking for death!"

Liu Shibao kicked Old Man Li in the chest.

"Shibao, let their father and son go ahead."

It happened that Feng Xiaoci came up from behind and heard it, and he frowned and ordered.

Li Mao was escorted up and walked side by side with Old Man Li, Old Man Li looked at his son sideways, and asked with a sad smile: "Little rabbit cub, Grandpa has disappointed you." ”

Li Mao smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not speak.

The two walked side by side, silent for more than ten minutes. Looking up at the road ahead, Old Man Li suddenly asked, "Little rabbit, do you remember the first time I took you up the mountain when you were a child?" ”

Li Mao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"Are you afraid of death?"

Lao Li asked.

Li Mao smiled and said, "Look how you died." ”

Father and son looked at each other and burst out laughing. Liu Shibao and Feng Xiaoci looked inexplicable, and were just about to make a voice to shut up the two of them, when Lao Li Tou and Li Mao suddenly ran forward together, and then jumped forward. There is a cliff there, Li Mao went up the mountain with Old Man Li for the first time when he was young, he almost fell from here because of his playfulness, if it wasn't for Old Man Li's quick hand to grab his hand, he would have fallen down the cliff and died.

This time, Old Man Li still held his son's palm, tightly, deadly, the father and son's hands were clasped together, and then jumped down from there.

"The heroes of Yanyun Village, avenge our grandfather!"

Before jumping down, Li Mao roared in the loudest voice.
