Bed Bug He drank a few drops of Ganlin, and suddenly remembered his experience as a bandit.

As mentioned earlier, his family has been selling baked cakes for generations, and after returning from the team, he wanted to join the banner of the boss of the firewood knife and live a happy life for a few days. So he hung up the farm tools, sold the ploughing cattle, and went to seek refuge with the boss of the firewood knife.

No one knows the real name of the chai knife boss, and everyone calls him "chai knife boss". "Big Brother Chai Dao" is said to be also a native of Qinglong Town, without a father or mother, living by chopping firewood, often carrying firewood to the entrance of the cave to sell, in exchange for a few liters of rice. One day, he returned from the entrance of the cave and encountered bandits on the way through Eagle's Beak Rock.

That day, he happened to buy four taels of pork, wrapped it with straw rope and hung it around his waist. He told the bandits that he had nothing on him, only a little bit of meat, and that he could take it himself if he wanted. The bandit didn't know that there was a deception, so he really went to get it. At this moment, the boss of the chai knife pulled out the chai knife from his waist and hacked the bandit to death.

Not only did he not lose anything, but he also searched for a dozen taels of silver from the bandits. This unexpected gain made the boss of the firewood knife understand that it is better to rob than to chop wood. Since then, he has been robbing at Eagle's Beak Rock.

Because he has been accustomed to using a firewood knife for many years, he feels that it is more labor-saving than chopping wood, as long as he sharpens the edge, a knife passes, and a human head will roll down the rock, which is very enjoyable. Over time, he became a murderous addict, and if he couldn't kill anyone for three days in a row, he would foam at the mouth and tremble his hands, until he killed someone and saw blood. If one day the business is booming and he kills several people in a row, he will be full of excitement, his face will be ruddy, and he will walk as fast as flying.

Bed Bug He came to the mouth of the old nest of the boss of the firewood knife and explained his intention to the guards outside the door. The guards reported, and after a while, two cronies came and took the two to the cottage compound. They were received by Yang Bowen, the military advisor of the boss of the firewood knife.

Yang Bowen is also a native of Qinglong Town, his father is a farmer, and there are two century-old shops on the way to Qinglong Town, which is a place where bandits often gather. Locals say that these two old shops are often haunted and unlucky to live in, so they have been empty. The Yang family lived here and opened a shop.

At that time, most of the people who came to stay in the shop were merchants who came and went to Shuangbiyan Ancient Post Road. There are many bandits who block the road and rob the ancient post road in Shuangbiyan, and these bandits often come to Yang Guy's shop to drink, gamble, and rape the women who were robbed by the robbery, and share the money they robbed.

Under the influence of these people, Yang Bowen knew many things on the rivers and lakes, and he was used to listening to "Water Margin" since he was a child, and he had a soft spot for robbing houses. Among the bandits, many of them were the subordinates of the boss of the chai knife, and after introduction, he also joined the gang of the boss of the chai knife.

Yang Bowen was gifted and resourceful, and was very appreciated by the boss of the chai knife, and was soon promoted to military advisor.

According to the rules of bandits, if you pass the interview, the next level is to "pass the hall". The so-called "passing the court" is to test the courage of the defector, to kill people and overstep the goods, and to taboo cowards to join the gang.

Yang Bowen brought a bowl of water, let the bedbug He top a bowl on his head, standing at the south end of the hall, he gave a password, and a big man flashed out of the gate.

The big man glanced at the bedbug He, stood about five zhang away, pulled out the foreign gun from his waist with a "whoosh", and raised his hand to shoot it......

Bed bugs have never heard of this hurdle to be crossed, and if they are so scared that they wet their crotch or collapse to the ground, they will be eliminated. If you pass this pass, you can officially join the house to worship incense.

He also knew that the boss would only appear in the main hall when worshipping incense. The gang planted their own incense, and there were nineteen incense sticks, eighteen of which were burned for the eighteen Arhats, and the middle one represented the gang boss.

Nineteen incense sticks are inserted in five piles, the first three and the last four, the left five, the right six, and one more inserted in the middle. After planting incense, the gang knelt down and swore to the boss sitting in the main hall, until the boss spoke: "It's all a family, get up!" "The ceremony is over. The final level is to meet the bandit boss who directly leads him.

Bedbug He estimated that the big man standing opposite might be his future leader, but at this moment, facing the muzzle of the black hole, although he knew that the other party would not intentionally kill, but if he missed......

He shuddered a little at the thought of this. But I was afraid of making jokes, so I had to grit my teeth and harden my head.

The big man snorted contemptuously, "Bang! Bang! Two gunshots rang out, shattering the bowl and dripping water over his head, drenching the top half of the bedbug.

"It's hard enough," the big man put away his gun and said to Yang Bowen, "I still have to slip through before I can join the gang." ”

Yang Bowen nodded, pointed to the big man and said to the bedbug He: "This is called Yi Mazi, and he will be in charge of it in the future." Hopefully you'll have a smooth ride. That is what it means to pass the level.

The bed bug He followed Yang Bowen out of the hall and came to an ear room. Yang Bowen sat down and asked, "Have you watched "Water Margin"? ”

He replied, "I don't know how to read, but I've heard the storyteller tell me." ”

Yang Bowen nodded with satisfaction: "Very good." Do you know the story of Lin Chong when he first entered Liangshan, Wang Lun asked him to hand over the 'name letter', right? ”

Bed bugs are so shocked. Because Wang Lun's "name petition" is to ask Lin Chong to raise a person on Liangshan, otherwise he will not be taken in. Could it be that Yang Bowen also wants him to kill someone?

Yang Bowen then said: "We will not deliberately make things difficult for you like Wang Lun. Doing what we do, what we do is a life of licking blood from the knife edge, you are still too timid, you must improve your guts. From tomorrow, you go to Shuangbiyan to collect money from passers-by, and if you don't make a mistake within half a month, you can officially join the house to worship incense. Of course, if you feel embarrassed, we don't force it, you can send it off now! ”

The bed bugs bowed their heads and said in unison, "We are willing to slip away!" ”

Early the next morning, Yang Bowen asked Bug He to pay a deposit of fifty oceans, receive a saber, wrapped it in cloth, dressed in a short dress, and walked to the eagle's beak rock to rob and start his career as a bandit.

Eagle's Beak Rock is the gateway of Qinglong Mountain, the terrain is dangerous, there are many merchants in the past, the mountain is high and the forest is dense, and it has always been an ideal place for green forest activities.

Those people hid in stone forests and thorn canopies before cutting the path, and when someone passed, they shouted to frighten passers-by and rob them. After succeeding, bluff and retreat to the mountain - halfway up the hill on the south side of the flyover, there is a cave, which extends in all directions, and you can escape freely.

Because of the first time in the green forest, you must be careful, how can the bed bug reach the eagle's beak rock, that is, disguise as a passerby, carefully inspect the surroundings, familiarize yourself with the terrain, and enter the cave, drill back and forth several times, choose a good route, and make marks along the way, so as to escape quickly in case of emergency.

Everything was in order, it was already afternoon, and the bed bugs He hid behind the stone wall, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

After waiting for half an hour, a team of more than 20 people came from the west, and it was difficult to start because of the large number of people. In the evening, four salt customers passed by, and the bed bug He shouted loudly and blocked the road with knives. Seeing this, the four salt customers were so frightened that they abandoned their burdens and crawled for their lives, and one of them accidentally fell under the cliff, screaming miserably, and became the ghost of the eagle's beak rock.

The bed bug He won the first battle and obtained four loads of white salt, waited for another hour, and saw that no one passed, so he hid the salt in the cave, ate dry food, and found a dry place to spend the night.

Early the next morning, Yang Bowen sent someone to check on the bedbug He handed over the salt to the spoils of war, ate the dry food, and still went out of the hole to ambush.

There is a while, there are five or six paper customers through, easy to let go of a broken drink, the paper guest is so frightened that his soul is not possessed, and he has to abandon his burden and flee for his life, this time he has experience, bluffed: "Who dares to run, Lao Tzu shot!" Hands up! ”

The paperman really stopped and obediently raised his hands. When they discovered that there was only one bandit and no guns, it was too late, so they had to be searched.

This time, the bed bug He got five loads of white paper and thirty pieces of ocean.

With these two experiences, the bed bug was even more daring, and concluded that the robbery was nothing more than that, and it was easier than plowing the land. I was happy in my heart, and I decided that I had done a good job, and I followed Yi Mazi to do it, as the saying goes, it was his horse.

On this day, I went down the mountain with Yi Mazi to do business.

Bed bugs are so bored that they talk about "the boss of the firewood knife".

Bed Bug He said: "When I was a child, adults said that 'Boss Chai Knife' became addicted to killing, and I felt incredible. Now that I think about my experience, I realize that this is a natural thing, and maybe in a few years, we will become the 'boss of the firewood knife'. ”

Yi Mazi agreed: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, killing people may be the same as a woman stealing a man, at the beginning, it will be endless for a lifetime." ”

Bed Bug He sighed: "Actually, I should have joined the gang a long time ago, recalling the hard work in the past, I didn't have to eat, I didn't have to play, it was really in vain." Isn't life just a happy life, we only work hard for two days, without a drop of sweat, and the income is worth half a year, even if we die one day, it's worth it. ”

When Yi Mazi heard the word "death", he immediately became nervous: "Crow's mouth, don't talk nonsense!" ”

According to the rules of banditry, it is taboo to mention the word "death" at this time, which is an extremely unlucky omen.

Bed Bug He turned to look at the other side of the mountain road, and he found the secret: "Brother, you see, the passers-by are hiding in the pavilion for a long time and no one is coming. Did they hear the news? ”

Yi Mazi also looked at it, nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"What to do? We can't always wait in vain. ”

"Be patient, they'll have to come."

Bed Bug He suddenly asked, "Brother, if they come together, do you dare to do it?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Yi Mazi said: "They didn't dare to come, which means that they were very scared." I have a way, if they come together, we will bluff and scare them away, and their stuff will not be ours again? ”

"Look, two of them are on the way." Yi Mazi reminded.

Yi Mazi also saw a soju picker and a salt guest walking towards this side from a distance, and his heart immediately became excited, and he muttered: "Very good, these two guys must be poor, if there is no oil and water, I will start killing first and taste the taste of killing!" ”

Seeing that the wine seller and the salt merchant were not far from Shuangbi Rock, they hurriedly blackened their faces with the ink they had prepared. When the drinker in front of him appeared in the ambush circle, the bedbug He jumped on a rock, danced his knife and shouted: "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, leave to buy road money!" ”

Before the liquor seller could react, Yi Mazi rushed out from behind and put the saber on his neck......

Yi Mazi felt from experience that it was easy to deal with a liquor seller. So, he searched his body aggressively, and soon found a large bag of koyo from the liquor seller.

Because this bag of Guangyang was tightly tied with straw shoe rope, Yi Mazi inadvertently put down the saber, but he didn't expect to pay for his life for this negligence.

The bed bug was so angry that he jumped off the rock, brandished his saber and went straight to the liquor dealer. Unfortunately, the knife technique was not familiar, and the other party also had a saber, and it was very difficult to cut, and at this moment, a broad-mouthed companion of the wine seller came to help with a flat pole.

The bed bugs gradually disappeared, and they saw that the liquor dealer was fierce and unstoppable. At this critical moment, the broad-mouthed flat pole was slashed twice by him, and almost broke, and he bluffed and fled.

The bed bug He panted and climbed up the mountain and got into the cave, and it was estimated that no one would chase him, so he cried loudly, he was not crying for Yi Mazi, but for the silver with white flowers.
