***********************

The mountain road is crooked, the spring cold is steep, and the rising sun rises from the top of the mountain, which illuminates the residual frost of the mountain in a particularly dazzling light.

Wu Ming carried two rattan boxes and a basket full of mountain goods, and was silent behind the immortal wind Dao Elder Bingzhen and Chengzong, Xiao Chengyuan walked closely beside Wu Ming, and kept muttering along the way: "This place is more than two hundred miles away from the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain, and it takes three days to arrive by carriage, if you want Brother Wu to go to Longhu Mountain to play when you are free, you must accompany Brother Wu to go to the entire holy land......"

Arriving at the foot of the mountain for more than half an hour, the carriage that picked up the people of Bingzhen had been waiting for a long time.

Wu Ming refused the coachman's help, personally put the two rattan boxes and baskets on the carriage, stood aside and bowed his head, and quietly waited for the chief of Bingzhen to get on the carriage.

Bingzhen Dao Chang sighed secretly, came to Wu Ming and said gently: "In a few days, Chengyuan's senior brother Chengzhi will lead a few people to preside over the Prayer Truth Temple, Chengzhi is more than thirty years old, not much older than you, not an outsider, the mountain will trouble you to take care of it." ”

"Yes." Wu Ming's answer was low and short.

Bingzhen Dao Chang shook his head: "Take care, you have a chance to go to Longshan Ancestral Court to see Cheng Yuan, he likes you." ”

"Yes." Wu Ming still lowered his head and did not look at the head of the Bingzhen Dao.

Daoist Bingzhen said no more, lifted the hem of his robe and stepped onto the carriage. Cheng Yuan stepped forward and patted Wu Ming's arm, whispered "Big brother take care" and boarded the carriage, only Cheng Yuan pulled Wu Ming's sleeve with tears in his eyes, and kept talking in a daze.

Wu Ming hugged Chengyuan into the car, bowed deeply to Daoist Bingzhen, and watched the carriage gradually move away, before walking up the mountain with a sense of loss. Back at the boulder in the middle of the mountain, Wu Ming jumped on the boulder on the side of the road and looked into the distance, the shadow of the carriage was no longer visible, but his mind was full of Chengzong and Chengyuan's voices and smiles.

The next morning, Wu Ming, who was a little hungover in the Taoist temple, was just about to put on a frame to practice boxing, when he heard the sound of banging on the door, he put away his fists and feet, put on his robe and came out to open the door.

On the steps in front of the door, a young man sweating profusely saluted Wu Ming respectfully.

Wu Ming looked a little familiar, and he couldn't call his name for a while: "Are you from Tianjia Village under the mountain?" ”

"Yes, yes! I'm afraid that Daochang Wu won't remember me, my name is Tian Zhenggang, the fifth in the family, Tian Zhengkui, who was rescued by the Taoist, is my eldest brother, and on the day the Daoist left, I also toasted the Taoist with a few brothers. Tian Zhenggang replied loudly, and it could be seen that he was a simple man.

"Remember, you are ......" Wu Ming pointed to the two baskets at Tian Zhenggang's feet.

Tian Zhenggang hurriedly uncovered the wide leaves covering the two baskets, revealing two hares, two knives of fresh pork, a bag of rice and a large wine jar: "This is my father, my mother and a few brothers to honor the Taoist, don't dislike the Taoist." ”

Wu Ming grinned, and was not pretentious at the moment, and raised his hand to the big ginkgo tree under the stone wall in the west: "I took it, the trouble is just under the big tree, my house is there, walk along the path for about two hundred steps, you can see it when you turn through the bamboo forest, I will close the door and pass." ”

"Great!" The sturdy Tian Zhenggang picked up the burden and strode away.

When Wu Ming arrived, Tian Zhenggang was curiously looking at the chic cabin, his eyes were full of surprise, and he could see that he had never seen such a Western-style house with a very different style.

Wu Ming climbed the steps, pushed open the hidden door, and politely invited Tian Zhenggang to come in, Tian Zhenggang followed in with a large basket in one hand, standing in the middle of the room and looking around.

"Just put it down and come over for a drink."

Wu Ming walked to the stone fireplace, lifted the copper kettle that was still steaming and poured a bowl of water for Tian Zhenggang: "You're welcome, come and sit down, it's warmer." ”

Tian Zhenggang timidly moved over, took the hot water handed by Wu Ming with both hands, raised his head and drank it, wiped his mouth and carefully placed the empty bowl on the low table in front of him.

Wu Ming added another bowl to him, carried the copper kettle out of the pot to catch the water, came back and set it on the stone on the outer edge of the fireplace, picked up a firewood and gently picked up the fire, and added firewood to make a fire unhurriedly: "Is your brother better?" ”

"It's much better, after the Taoist rescued him, Chengzong Daoist went home every three or five days to change the medicine and prescribe a prescription for my brother, the half-foot-long wound has already scarred, but it can't be forced, and it is estimated that it will take another month to get off the ground." Tian Zhenggang saw that Wu Ming didn't have the slightest, so he slowly let go.

Wu Ming was very happy to hear this: "That's good, although my life has been saved, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resume normal walking in the future." Zhenggang, how old are you this year? ”

"I'll be eighteen after the New Year." Tian Zhenggang also smiled, with a simple face.

"Then I'll call you brother, are you hungry?"

"Not hungry, not hungry!"

"Anyway, I want to eat, I'm very happy to see you today, a few Taoist leaders are gone, I'm alone on the mountain, let's drink two glasses with me, just drink this jar of wine you sent, you rest the roasting fire, I'll go get vegetables."

"I'll come, I'll come, you sit."

Wu Ming didn't sit and wait, but started with Tian Zhenggang, and it didn't take long for him to build a charcoal fire in front of the fireplace and put a hot pot on the stove.

The simple and diligent Tian Zhenggang had already relaxed a lot, and took the initiative to scoop out the wine from the big wine jar with a bamboo tube and pour two large bowls, and the room was suddenly filled with the tempting aroma of wine.

Wu Ming picked up the bowl and took a sip: "Good wine!" ”

Tian Zhenggang was very happy: "This wine is made by my mother, no one's wine within a radius of dozens of miles is as good as my mother's wine, my second brother They said that you have a good amount of wine, and it is estimated that you will like our wine." ”

After a few bowls of wine, the relationship between the two warmed up.

Wu Ming asked about the recent situation in the village, Tian Zhenggang said that it was not good, a few years ago, the officers and soldiers searched for bandits who killed officials and robbed guns everywhere in the city, and also sent more than a dozen officers and soldiers to the village to inquire, which made the whole village panic and unpeaceful. A few nights ago, the cunning wild wolf on the mountain entered the village again, biting to death the sow of the village elder Uncle Qian's house, and snatching away a sheep, and the dogs in the village were so frightened that they did not dare to bark.

Wu Ming knew that the villagers had no weapons, so he asked why they didn't dig traps or put clips to clean up the wild wolves? Tian Zhenggang immediately talked eloquently, saying that the wolf is the most cunning beast, and he will walk around if he feels wrong, traps, clips, wooden cages and other mechanisms are useless to it, and before his eldest brother was injured, he was a well-known hunter, and in this life wild boars, wild sheep, roe deer, and muntjac can get anything back, but he has never hit a wolf, unless he has a good gun in his hand.

Wu Ming, who was determined to leave this place, thought about it, approached Tian Zhenggang and asked, "Zhenggang, if there is a Hanyang-made rifle, do you dare to go to the wolf?" ”

Tian Zhenggang also drank open, revealing the copper-colored strong muscles of his chest, and met Wu Ming's eyes without timidity: "Brother Wu, if you can really get Hanyang, I, Tian Zhenggang, can definitely give you a few good wolf skins!" ”

"Well done! But just now, you just said that the officers and soldiers went into the village to search everywhere a few years ago, it can be seen that if you have a branch of Hanyang and let outsiders know the Tao, you are likely to suffer from misfortune, so the eldest brother wants you to keep it a secret, every word that our brothers say today, anything you see, you can't reveal half a word to outsiders, can you do it? Wu Ming looked at Tian Zhenggang with a smile.

Tian Zhenggang was stunned for a moment, puffed up his chest and became extremely solemn: "Brother Wu, you are the life-saving benefactor of my family, how can you be harmed?" I swear that I will never tell the story of today, and if I break my oath, I will not die a good death! ”

"In this way, the eldest brother can trust you, and you are as good as your eldest brother! I've heard the villagers say that your brothers are all men of affection, and if your eldest brother hadn't stepped forward that day, I'm afraid there would have been more dead and injured in the village. ”

Wu Ming stood up, walked to the head of the bed and removed a huge wooden pier, uncovered the thick wooden planks on the floor, and took out a polished rifle and came to Tian Zhenggang: "Authentic Hanyang made, at least seventy percent new, the rifling is not worn much, it is estimated that there are not many guns, you can try it, rest assured, there are no bullets." ”

Tian Zhenggang was stunned, stood up and rubbed his eyes in disbelief, staring at the spear in Wu Ming's hand for a while before stretching out his trembling hand to take the rifle: "Oh my God! It's really......"

Wu Ming looked at Tian Zhenggang, who was distracted, and said very seriously: "Zhenggang, whenever I think of the brother who was injured by wild boars in the village, I feel sad, I thought at the beginning, if you had a real guy in your hands, there would be no tragedy that day." ”

"Isn't it!" Tian Zhenggang shouted excitedly.

Wu Ming stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder: "I heard you talk about the wild wolves in Uncle Qian's house just now, I feel even more uncomfortable, it is not easy for the villagers to raise big pigs and sheep, if you don't get rid of those wild wolves and wild boars who don't know when to come again, maybe one day there will be dead people in the village." During this time, I have been thinking about this, when there was no real guy earlier, everyone could only be anxious to see their families and villagers suffering, but now that they have it, they should stand up and eliminate harm for the people! ”

"Brother Wu......" Tian Zhenggang trembled slightly with excitement, his Adam's apple squirmed a few times and he couldn't speak, and his slender eyes flushed.

Wu Ming pulled him to sit down: "Don't worry, sit down and say." ”

The two sat down again, poured a large bowl full of wine, and touched it heavily, and did it all with pride.

Wu Ming wiped his mouth and put down the bowl, and said to Tian Zhenggang, who was flushed: "Zhenggang, I will leave this place for a long time, before leaving, I want to do something for the villagers in Tianjia Village, and I will walk more easily." I wanted to do it alone, but I wasn't sure, I was scared, now I can rest assured that I have you, after I leave, this gun will be left for you, and there are more than 100 bullets, how many are left, and then you can hide the gun quietly, the world is getting more and more chaotic, and the days to come are not peaceful, there is a gun to defend yourself, and you are brave. ”

"Brother Wu, why do you want to leave? My whole family hasn't repaid your kindness, I can't go, I don't want a gun! Tian Zhenggang stood up in a hurry.

"What are you anxious about? Sit down and say, I didn't say I'll leave immediately. Wu Ming burped: "Zhenggang, there is a way that there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and the human debt I owe to my eldest brother is much more than yours!" You don't understand it, let's put it this way, people have a long life, and there are some things that can be written down here. ”

"I still don't get it." Tian Zhenggang's face was full of doubts.

Wu Ming smiled: "It's okay if you don't understand now, I won't look away, I've made up my mind for your brother, hahaha!" Zhenggang, big brother, I drank too much, and the wolf fight can only be said tomorrow. Also, you have to go back and talk to your family, see what excuse you can find to sneak out, and take me into the mountains for a few days, you are better at this than me, I have never hunted when I am so old, I have never hunted birds, and I am not familiar with the surrounding mountains, and I have to rely on you to help me with this wish, so that I can leave with peace of mind. ”

"Brother Wu, I'll go back, I'll be here early tomorrow morning, and we'll go into the mountain together!" Although it is not a good season for hunting, the simple and trustworthy Tian Zhenggang agreed without hesitation.

"Good! Then I'll wait for you. After Wu Ming finished speaking, he stood up slowly, walked to the side of the bed, fell asleep on the bed.

Tian Zhenggang hurriedly went up to help Wu Ming take off his shoes, picked up his legs and put them on the bed, covered Wu Ming with a quilt, returned to the low table, picked up the spear, looked at it and touched it, reluctantly put it back in place and covered the board, and then moved the wooden pier back to its original position, then relieved to clean up the table, and then filled the fireplace with firewood, and quietly went out of the door carefully.

An hour later, two women appeared in front of the silent hut, heard a uniform snoring coming from the room, and the two discussed in a low voice, summoned up the courage to go up the steps, and knocked softly on the hidden door.
