The boss of the firewood knife was discussing with the military advisor Yang Bowen in the inner hall, and suddenly heard someone crying in the outer hall, followed by Yang Bowen's scolding.

After a while, Zhu Xiangbin, the third master, came in, and the firewood knife boss asked who was crying where, and the third master scolded: "Two wastes, they want them to go to Eagle's Beak Rock to do a small business, but one was killed, and the other was almost killed, and he actually had the face to come back and beg me to avenge him." Then, Zhang Xiangbin recounted the resistance of the bed bug He brothers by liquor dealers at Eagle's Beak Rock from beginning to end.

After hearing this, Yang Bowen's eyes lit up and he praised sincerely: "Hero, hero, truly rare hero!" Forty or fifty people did not dare to pass, but he dared to break through and kill our men! This shows how remarkable his courage and wisdom were! ”

The firewood knife boss asked puzzledly: "Master Yang, why do you still praise this wine dealer for killing our man?" If all the meat tickets are like him, where will we survive? ”

Yang Bowen said: "Boss, may I ask, since you pulled the pole, how many people in the meat ticket have such courage?" ”

The boss of the chai knife thought for a moment and said, "There are probably two of them, one is me, and the other is the current wine seller." ”

"That's right!" Yang Bowen said, "Boss, you are a hero of the green forest, Qinglong Mountain has only produced one in two thousand years, and I am afraid that the only one who can be as famous as you in the future is this wine seller. ”

The boss of the firewood knife suddenly realized, and immediately ordered Yang Bowen: "That wine seller must also pass by from the eagle's beak rock, you go down and order the bedbug why be sure to find out his details as soon as possible, and if you have news, report it quickly!" ”

Yang Bowen was ordered to withdraw.

The bedbug got Yang Bowen's order, thinking that the boss really wanted to avenge him. On the same day, they disguised themselves as straw sandals and went to the bottom of the mountain to explore. He was most impressed by a wide-mouthed footman, and soon asked if he was Cai Feihu from Huangqiaopu, and the other wine seller was his companion.

The bed bug He kept going, and went to find out that it was Cai Feihu who killed his eldest brother, and his parents died early.

The bedbug He returned to the cottage to report to Yang Bowen, and asked to go to the county seat to kill Cai Feihu and others to avenge his eldest brother.

Yang Bowen said: "You don't have to worry about revenge, the boss will make his own arrangements." ”

The boss of the firewood knife and Yang Bowen learned that Cai Feihu was fine, and the two discussed it and decided to go to Huangqiaopu on a certain day. So on a dark and windy night, Cai Feihu's house was besieged.

It is said that Cai Feihu and several brothers drank blood wine and were about to go to the rich man of the village, but they were suddenly surrounded by a large group of people. There is a wrong, and there is a debtor. Soon after he understood what was going on, he became more calm, faced the boss of the chai knife, and calmly admitted: "I am Cai Feihu, and the bandit in Eagle Beak Rock was killed by me!" ”

Under the torch, the boss of the firewood knife looked at Cai Feihu seriously, and saw that he was not afraid, and he was surrounded by a heavy siege, it was rare for him to be so calm!

The boss of the firewood knife touched his chin and exclaimed: "Sure enough, he is a good man!" But killing people to pay for their lives is a matter of course, I pity you very much, and I can't bear to teach you to die. I'll let you take a step, if you have the guts, I'll wait for you at the east end of Qinglong Bridge at midnight today, but you can't see me empty-handed, you must carry a human head in your hand! With a wave of his hand, the torches turned back, and in an instant, it was dark outside, leaving cold stars twinkling in the distant mountains.

Cai Feihu finally came back to his senses, touched his head, and muttered, "The head is still there, this can't be a dream, right?" ”

His horse boy Zhang Sigou breathed a long sigh of relief: "If you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, and we will live a good life." ”

Zhang Sigou scratched his head and asked, "Big brother, what does it mean that the boss of the firewood knife wants to take someone's head to see him on the way?" Will there be fraud? ”

Cai Feihu didn't speak, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face: "This is a good sign." ”

"What's the good sign?" The crowd was puzzled.

Cai Feihu looked at Zhang Sigou proudly: "I haven't run in vain on the road all these years, and being able to decipher the words of the chaidao boss today is proof of it." You won't know that the chaidao boss wants to dominate the green forest, and he listens to the words of the military advisor Yang Bowen and prepares to recruit talents. There are few people who have the courage to kill his men that day, so tonight they have come to take us in. ”

"We're in luck!" Several brothers shouted in unison.

The horizontal flesh on Cai Feihu's face twitched, and he ordered in the posture of a leader: "Prepare to go, take the head of Zhang Cai's master first, and I have my own arrangements for everything!" ”

The Biaozi brothers estimated that Cai Feihu had decided to take refuge in the boss of the chai knife, so they didn't ask more, and each took out a sharpened kitchen knife from his waist and prepared to go out.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the inner room, and then the wooden door "creaked" open, and Yin Shi stepped forward and knelt in front of Cai Feihu: "I saw and heard everything you did just now." If you want to bring someone's head to the boss of the firewood knife, please don't hurt anyone, and cut off my head!" ”

Everyone was unprepared for the extraneous branches, and Cai Feihu persuaded: "Please get up, you don't have to worry about manly affairs, you can only enjoy wealth and glory in the future." ”

Yin shook his head: "I don't want such wealth and glory, I'd rather die, don't persuade me." Do it! ”

Cai Feihu's face was expressionless, and he raised his eyes to look at the inner room.

"Don't worry, Chunsheng has fallen asleep early." As soon as Yin Shi mentioned his son, tears couldn't help but gush, "When he wakes up tomorrow and disappears from me, you can say that his mother has been taken to heaven by the gods to enjoy happiness because he has never done anything hurtful in his life." If he wants to see his mother, he must behave in a good way, accumulate virtues, and one day he will be moved by the gods. ”

Cai Feihu took off the sweat towel around his waist to wipe his tears for his wife, and choked up: "You and I are husband and wife, is fate over like this?" ”

Yin Shi pushed his hand away: "Don't wipe my tears for me, my tears may not stop while I am alive." If you are still thinking about the relationship between husband and wife, you must tell Chunsheng what I said. Also, I beg you for one more thing. ”

Dalu: "You speak." ”

"No matter what you do outside in the future, I won't know, I just ask you not to rob the Zhang family's things, let alone kill people surnamed Zhang. I know that you have always hated the rich man Zhang, please don't kill him, his life is up to me. Can you meet my requirements? ”

Cai Feihu nodded, looked at his wife, his face finally showed a rare smile, and said gently: "Good wife, you are so kind!" So kind that I can't bear to hurt you and hurt you. But today I have no choice but to devote myself to the green forest, and if you watch me kill people and set fires every day, your life will be worse than going to hell, isn't it?

Yin nodded repeatedly.

"So," Cai Feihu said with a long sigh, "it's better to live and suffer than to die, and if a kind person like you goes to the underworld, Hades will take special care of it." ”

Yin nodded, he still had something to say, but before he could say it, he only felt a darkness in front of him, and his head was out of his neck......

Brother Biaozi cried out in a lost voice: "Big brother, you ......"

Cai Feihu smiled again, wiped the saber away the bloodstains, and said to Zhang Dalu seriously: "Don't you often say to me: brothers are like siblings, and wives are like clothes; If your hands and feet are broken, you can still repair your clothes? ”

Zhang Dalu's face was distorted and said: "That's not what I said, it was Liu Bei who said it to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". ”

Cai Feihu nodded: "No matter who said it, I think this is too right!" He looked at the four of them emotionally, choked up, "From now on, I will be Liu Bei, and you will be my Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and you will fight the ......world together."

There was a rooster cry in the yard, Zhang Dalu looked at the Beidou in the sky, and reminded: "Midnight is coming, go to the bridge to see the boss of the firewood knife." ”

Cai Feihu nodded, lifted his wife's head, and ordered, "Bury her body." ”

"Don't buy coffins?" Biaozi asked.

"Don't buy it." Cai Feihu shook his head: "At the moment, we are all poor, and the mortuary is at home, and my son is not easy to explain." ”

"Are you still violent and tyrannical tonight?" Biaozi asked again.

Cai Feihu glanced at the head in his hand and sighed, "Let him go." After speaking, he threw the saber in his right hand on the ground and calmly went to the appointment.

Zhang Dalu exclaimed: "You don't bring a knife?" ”

"No. They're going to look down on me. Without looking back, he strode towards the Yellow Dragon Bridge.

In the middle of the night in a dry year, the stars are exceptionally bright. Cai Feihu took advantage of the starlight, stepped on the dew on the ridge of the field through a field ridge, and found several torches at the east end of the bluestone bridge from a distance.

got on the bridge, and the words came over there: "It's Cai Feihu?" ”

Cai Feihu grabbed Yin's hair with his right hand and raised his head: "It's right down there." ”

Under the torch, the firewood knife boss praised: "It's midnight, you didn't miss the appointment, you are really a good man!" ”

Cai Feihu approached, lifted the head and raised: "The things that the boss wants have been delivered." ”

The boss of the firewood knife ordered a horse boy to take the head: "Thank you for sending the meeting gift." Let's go, we specially prepared thin wine, and we chatted while eating! ”

Cai Feihu followed the boss of the chai knife and came to the Drunken Immortal Hotel on the edge of the town. Two big red lanterns hung in front of the shop, and a few horses were wrapped around the wooden stakes outside the shop, and the horses were grazing and snorting. The shopkeeper hurriedly came out to greet him, and the dozen or so accompanying horses extinguished the torches and divided up to guard the store.

It was a tall man who entered the private seat on the second floor with the boss of the firewood knife and Cai Feihu. After sitting down, Cai Feihu noticed that this person had big eyes, a high nose, and prominent cheekbones, which was not as good as the introduction of the firewood knife boss, Cai Feihu immediately hugged his fists and saluted: "This brother is Mr. Yang Bowen?" ”

The tall man returned the salute: "It's right below." We didn't know each other before, how did Brother Flying Tiger know my name? ”

Cai Feihu said: "Mr. Yang's name has spread all over the rivers and lakes, and today I can see that it is really extraordinary. Fortunately, I will be honored. ”

The boss of the firewood knife coughed dryly, tapped the table with his fingers, and the shopkeeper led the shopkeeper to present the wine and food, and then took the door and quietly withdrew.

The boss of the hatchet raised his glass and invited. Cai Feihu was originally a rough man and didn't pay attention to etiquette, but when he saw this table of good wine and delicacies, he was not polite, he was swept away, and he ate a lot, as if he was coming to the banquet, and he didn't ask anything else.

The boss of the firewood knife glanced at Yang Bowen, Yang Bowen coughed dryly, looked at Cai Feihu and said, "Brother Feihu, the boss invites you tonight, do you know his old man's intentions?" ”

Cai Feihu was munching on chicken thighs, his mouth full of oil, and he said, "I know." The boss is thirsty for talent, and wants to pull me into the gang. ”

The Boss nodded in satisfaction.

The muscles on Yang Bowen's face began to relax: "Sure enough, he is an understanding person!" Truth be told, we have come from afar to appreciate your courage and resourcefulness. The boss wants to expand the team and achieve great things. As the saying goes, a thousand armies are easy to get, but a handsome is hard to find, and there are very few people like you. Brother Flying Tiger joins today, the boss is really like a tiger, come, cheers to our future work together! ”

The chai knife boss raised his wine glass with a smile and groan, however, Cai Feihu was indifferent.

Seeing this, the boss of the firewood knife changed his face suddenly, and slammed the wine glass down, and four horses immediately flashed into the seat, each holding a musket, and aimed the muzzle directly at Cai Feihu.

Cai Feihu lifted the hem of his clothes and wiped the oil off his mouth, and his eyes were fixed on Yang Bowen's face.

Yang Bowen glanced at the boss of the firewood knife inquiringly, made a gesture, put down the four guns together, and said: "I have a question for Brother Shunlu: Since the head has been sent, why did it suddenly change the hexagram?" Could it be that you only know that the boss has the intention of accepting you, but you don't know that bringing in the head is to submit a 'letter of nomination'? ”

Cai Feihu was silent.

Yang Bowen said patiently: "Okay, you are not from the green forest, and it is forgivable if you don't know." I'll tell you right now - you have to take refuge in the boss. ”

"How can you be so sure?" Cai Feihu said.

Yang Bowen said: "First, if you kill our people, morally speaking, if we don't pursue you, we should be grateful to Dade; Second, you have killed innocents, and there is no way out except to throw yourself into the green forest! ”

Cai Feihu picked up the wine glass next to him, tilted his neck and drank the wine dry, then took the wine jug and poured two glasses in a row, put down the glass, looked at Yang Bowen and said, "Yes, I have killed the innocent, and there is no way out." However, whether I do it myself or take refuge in Master Zhu, it is still up to me to make my own decisions. As for the murder of your brother, I have already given you a very good account - is it not just that the head I have brought today belongs to my wife, and that I have exchanged my wife for one of your brothers? ”

The boss of the firewood knife and Yang Bowen looked at each other.

"Truth be told, I had already pulled up my pole before you came." Cai Feihu said a little drunk, "I admire the boss's eloquence and strategy, and I envy you for having such a resourceful military advisor as Mr. Yang." Cai was born rough, but he was born with a lawless personality and did not want to be controlled by others. I'm sorry, I'll write down this feast for the time being, and I'll double it back when Cai plays a piece of the country.

The boss of the chai knife poured himself a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, ambitious!" He held his glass close to his lips.

Seeing this, the four horses put their guns against Cai Feihu's head again.

Cai Feihu realized that the boss of the firewood knife had made a killing move, and he couldn't stop laughing.

"What are you laughing at?!" The firewood knife boss glared, "What else is so funny about you when you die?" ”

Cai Feihu said: "I laugh at you and don't mean to kill me, but it's just to scare and scare." ”

"How so?"

"Because killing me is useless to you, and if you stay, it will be of great benefit."

The boss of the chai knife knew that Cai Feihu was playing tricks, and his purpose was nothing more than to linger, and sneered: "A ruthless and unrighteous person like you, with a heart like a snake and scorpion, even if you regret it now and are willing to follow me, I will not want you!" ”

"If I Cai Feihu regrets it now, it means that I am too worthless, and I will be laughed at by the world if I spread it!"

"Well, I will fulfill you and leave you a good reputation that will not change your original intention until you die!" The boss of the wood knife raised his glass.

"Slow!" Yang Bowen hurriedly stopped, "Don't kill him!" ”

The boss of the firewood knife gritted his teeth and said: "The beasts that even killed his wife are a bane, and maybe they will affect us in the future." ”

Yang Bowen said: "It's not that I don't agree to kill him, he just said that if it is more beneficial to keep him, why not let him speak out and do it again?" ”

The wine glasses of the boss of the firewood knife have been brought to his lips, and the guns of the four horses are filled with medicine, and they are waiting for the boss of the firewood knife to drink the wine.
