Chapter 8: Reward

Xue Liangchen snorted coldly, took the ointment, the clean cloth, pulled out the short knife on his waist, roasted it on the fire on the side for a while, and said softly to Yue Fei: "This little brother, you bite this wooden piece, I will pull out the arrow for you and apply the medicine, it will be fine for a while!" Then he ordered Xue Liangyu on the side: "You hold him down, don't let him move!" ”

"Great!" Xue Liang agreed, and then stretched out his hand to hold down Yue Fei, he has been brave since he was a child, he can wear double armor at the age of fourteen, and jump directly on the war horse without stirrups, although he is the youngest among the four brothers of the Xue family, but he is the first in terms of strength. But when Xue Liangchen pulled out the arrow for Yue Fei, he only felt that the body below slammed and almost lifted himself away, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "You have so much strength." ”

Yue Fei ignored him, and after Xue Liangchen bandaged his wounds, he stood up with difficulty, bowed to Xue Liangchen and said, "Boy Yue Fei, thank you for saving your life and healing!" ”

"Yue Fei? Isn't it Yue Wumu? Zhou Ping was taken aback, and carefully looked at the injured young man in front of him, only to see that the other party had a stocky physique, his face was covered with dust and blood, and he couldn't see what he looked like for a while, so he had to listen carefully to the curiosity in his heart.

"That's it, you've just been injured, lie down and rest!" Xue Liangchen smiled slightly and was about to leave, but he heard Yue Fei behind him ask: "Dare to ask, why didn't Fang Cai kill the thief with all his strength, but set the thief away?" ”

Xue Liangchen was stunned when he heard this, turned around and smiled: "Little brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

"When you asked your men to light the fire, you only lit the hay outside the right side of the village, but the houses and other places in the village were not lit! It's clear that he just wants to scare the thief away! ”

On the side, Xue Liangyu was furious when he heard this, and pressed his backhand on the handle of the knife on his waist and shouted: "Boy, are you going to die?" My second brother's turn to get your guidance! ”

"Fourth, step aside!" Xue Liangchen snorted and smiled at Yue Fei: "There are only more than ten of us, it's good to be able to scare the thieves away!" ”

Yue Fei looked at the frightened faces of the archers around him and didn't say anything more. Zhou Ping on the side looked at Yue Fei's face covered with dust and blood, but the question in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"Could this young man really be Yue Wumu! If I'm not mistaken, Yue Fei seems to be from Xiangzhou! ”

Zhou Ping finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart anymore, and walked to the side, and after a while, he came back with a bucket of water, and said with a smile: "Brother Yue, looking at the dust and blood on your face, it must be very uncomfortable, wipe it!" ”

"Thank you, brother!" Yue Fei arched his hand gratefully, and then scrubbed it himself, as the dust and blood were washed away, revealing the ordinary face below, only to see a pair of eyes, one big and the other small, rough and a little ridiculous.

Yue Fei saw Zhou Ping staring at his eyes, but he was not angry, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai don't laugh, my eyes are not the same size since I was a child!" ”

"Sure enough, it's King Wumu!" Zhou Ping suppressed the excitement in his heart, and any Chinese in later generations could understand his feelings at this time. A living martial saint appeared in front of him, but it was better to restrain himself, otherwise it would be bad to annoy the other party.

"Brother Yue has misunderstood!" Zhou Ping hurriedly smiled: "I think you are so familiar below, as if you have seen it somewhere, if you don't mention it, I haven't found out that your two eyes are not of ordinary size!" “

"I see!" Yue Fei was still a sincere boy of sixteen or seventeen years old at this time, and he didn't think much about it, so he believed Zhou Ping's nonsense: "I see, the younger brother is also quite familiar with Brother Tai, I must have met it when I rushed to the ruins, by the way, I haven't asked Brother Taifu yet." ”

"Taifu?" Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Yue Fei was asking for his name and name, and then he remembered that Yue Fei should have read a little book, and seeing that he was dressed as a child of a poor family in the countryside, it was quite incommensurate with his speech and demeanor.

"Under the surname Zhou Mingping, this is a Youzhou person!" Zhou Ping told the origin and discernment of his nonsense: "It's the Tian Ke of the Xue family, and this time I came with the main family to get the thief!" ”

"The younger brother's surname is Yue Mingfei, the Tangyin family in Benzhou, the family is poor and has no way to make a living, and he is a domestic helper in the Han family!"

Zhou Yue talked about it, Yue Fei told his family background and discernment, Zhou Ping learned that Yue Fei lost his father at a young age, only his mother was in the hall, and he became more and more sure that this person in front of him was the famous Yue Wu Mu Yue E, and he became more and more careful when he spoke, Yue Fei was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy at this time, and he had just experienced a struggle on the line of life and death, and there was also a kind of pouring ** in his heart, he chatted with Zhou Ping for a while, and suddenly sighed: "I have shot the thief Zhang Chao last night, I thought that it was just an idle matter to arrest a few remnants today, but I didn't think of it-" Speaking of this, Yue Fei sighed, lowered his head, and his expression was quite depressed.

Zhou Ping looked at the peasant boy in front of him, the feeling of respecting the gods just now gradually dissipated, and gradually gave birth to a little closeness, and whispered comfort: "Brother Yue, this incident is not your responsibility, if it weren't for Zhu Zhi's greed and the thief's annihilation, how could he be defeated?" ”

"Brother Zhou is right!" Yue Fei showed a look of hatred on his face: "But I don't blame that Zhu Zhi for being greedy, after all, the thieves are cunning, and he is not the only one who is plotted." But as a county lieutenant, he fled alone after encountering a thief and abandoned his subordinates, which is really damned! Speaking of this, Yue Fei slammed his fist on the ground, but accidentally touched the wound on his shoulder, and his face couldn't help but change drastically.

"Brother Yue, be careful of the wound!" Zhou Ping hurriedly supported Yue Fei, and secretly sighed that it was the surname that determined the fate, this person was just an ordinary field guest now, and he dared to openly accuse the county lieutenant in front of outsiders, and it was no wonder that he ended up like that later, Zhou Ping was thinking about how to persuade a few words, but he heard someone behind him shouting: "Ah Ping, come over and help, there are not enough people here!" ”

Zhou Ping responded, but it was Xue Liangyu who was counting the spoils of war and asked him to come over to keep accounts, Xue Liangyu commanded his subordinates to work, and whispered to Zhou Ping: "Ah Ping, don't pay attention to that injured kid, he looks like he doesn't know what to do, he knows that he is a short-lived ghost at a glance, be careful of bad luck!" ”

"Thank you, Lang Jun!" Zhou Ping replied with a smile and a smile, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "This Xue Shilang is really born with a crow's mouth!" ”

Anyang County Ya.

"What, the thieves are powerful, there are more than a thousand people?" Shen Heng's face turned pale, like a wall of powder around him.

"Not bad!" Zhu Zhi, who was kneeling at the bottom of the head, had a thick bandage tied on his shoulder, and his face was full of bruises, as if he had just escaped from the battlefield: "The lower official learned that the group of bandits was in Gaoping Village, so he led the archers of Sixiang to arrest him, and he had already surrounded the thieves in the village, but he didn't want more than a thousand bandits to suddenly arrive.

"Lieutenant Zhu, please get up!" Shen Heng got up and helped Zhu Zhi to the side and sat down, if what he said was true, then Anyang County would be in danger, the Great Song Dynasty had been peaceful for a hundred years, and the people of Hebei had long since lost their knowledge of soldiers, but they couldn't leave this county lieutenant. Shen Heng thought of this, and was about to consult him on how to strengthen the defense of the county, when a scribe suddenly came in and whispered a few words in Shen Heng's ear. Zhixian's face changed slightly, and he stared at Zhu Zhi fiercely, then walked out quickly, and hung Zhu Zhi alone in the hall.

"You said there were only fifty or sixty thieves?" Shen Heng's face seemed to have a layer of frost condensed, and he asked Xue Liangchen.

"Not bad!" Xue Liangchen thought that Zhixian was so ugly because he learned that the archers were defeated by bandits in Gaoping Village, and hurriedly explained: "County Zun, although the thieves escaped, the captive population was rescued, and eight archers died, and the injured were all treated, so there was no major problem!" He was afraid that the magistrate would ask for the property back, so he deliberately did not mention the property.

"Fifty or sixty people, such a good Zhu Zhi, dare to deceive a certain family!" Shen Hengqiang suppressed the anger in his chest, looked at the Xue Liangchen brothers, Liu Sheng, Zhou Ping, and Yue Fei in front of him, and said to Xue Liangchen gently: "It's okay, you can tell the official in detail about the war!" ”

"Yes, county honor!" Xue Liangchen sang a fat promise, and then said, he is a fine person, as the saying goes, "officials protect each other", if the county lieutenant was greedy for merit and ambushed the matter of telling it, he would definitely offend Zhu Zhi, maybe even the county magistrate in front of him was offended, so he didn't say a word about what happened before he arrived, only said that after he arrived, he designed to scare away the bandits, snatch back the captured people and treat the archers. After finishing speaking, Xue Liangchen bowed down to the magistrate and said: "The small people have not pursued the bandits, causing the thief leader to escape from the net, and please forgive the county!" ”

"That's it, you only have more than ten people, but there are fifty or sixty thieves, and the disparity is huge, no wonder you!" Shen Heng stretched out his hand to help Xue Liangchen up, and thought to himself: "This guy with a dozen or so people can scare away the thieves who are five or six times his size and recapture the people who were taken captive, if this person sits in Zhu Zhi's position, how can that gang of bandits be enough!" It's better to let this person sit in the seat of the county lieutenant! The thought burned more and more in his heart like a ball of fire.

"County Zun, the little people have something to report!" Yue Fei on the side couldn't bear the surname, so he bowed down.

"Oh, it's Brother Yue!" Because of Han Xiaoxuan, Shen Heng still remembered this Tian Ke, seeing the bandages on his body, for some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart: "Please tell me something!" ”

"County Honor!" Yue Fei kowtowed, and explained the county lieutenant Zhu Zhi's greed for merit and the ambush, and the first thing to escape in the village: "Although he was ambushed in the village at that time, as long as the county lieutenant stayed and fought to the death, he may not have no chance of winning. But he beat his horse and escaped alone, so he was defeated! In the end, Yue Fei lifted the sleeve of his right arm to reveal the whip mark and said: "The villain grabbed Master Zhu's mount and wanted to persuade him to stay, but he was whipped fiercely, this is the whip mark!" ”
