Chapter 276: Wolf Disaster in the Mountain Village (14)
"Hmph, yes! You all think I'm dead, and even Dong thinks that he really deserves to die, but God he just wants me not to die! β
As mentioned in the last book, the mountain picker who secretly opened the gate of Lijia Village in the middle of the night and led the wolf into the house admitted in public that he was the Dong Erzhu who was thrown into the woods outside the village by Li Yu and waited for death because of his affair with Li Xiuying.
This fierce news was thrown out, and the people in Lijia Village, who were originally angry at each other because they deliberately set the wolf to hurt people, turned pale in an instant...... Since this face can change so quickly, it means that there is something else going on here.
Fortunately, Dong Erzhu is not a person who is willing to hide all his secrets in his stomach, and when he saw that his eyes fell on the villagers, the person immediately turned his face to the side, as if he didn't dare to look at him, and sneered loudly: "Dare to love you, you also have times when you are afraid of things?" Today, let's talk about this in front of outsiders! β
It is endorsed in the book, it turns out that the father of Dong Erzhu is the sworn brother of the previous Lizheng in Lijiacun.
Later, because the brothers felt that each other was particularly close to themselves, they simply partnered together to start a caravan business.
Li Li Zheng accounted for half of this caravan, and the wealthy Dong family accounted for the other half: from then on, all the mountain goods hunted in Lijia Village were handed over to the Dong family caravan to be sold, and after making money, everyone would share it in half!
At first, the business was very prosperous, but the good times did not last long, just twenty years ago, when the hunters of Lijia Village were hunting in the mountains, they found an injured blue-feathered fire pattern strange bird in the tree.
What is amazing is that this bird has only one leg!
After the identification of the most experienced old hunter in the village, this strange bird with wounded wings should be the strange bird that is bathed in fire all over its body and sees a great drought in the world - Bi Fang!
Seeing that the legendary strange bird was seriously injured in front of him, the villagers of Lijia Village suddenly felt that their eyes lit up.
According to legend, at the last moment of the Mongol and Jin attacks, a rebel general named Puxian Wannu suddenly raised his flag behind the Jin State and established a local government called the Eastern Xia State, which only lasted for 19 years.
It is said that this Puxian Wannu was originally a solicitation envoy on the Xianping Road of the Jin Kingdom, and after rebelling against the Jin Dynasty, he led the army to break through the Jin Kingdom of Shangjing and Tokyo one after another, and plundered the treasures.
However, the good times of the Eastern Xia Kingdom were short-lived, and soon the Mongol army took advantage of the decline of the Jin State to attack in a big way, and surrounded this small country in a remote corner in one fell swoop.
When the Mongol Γgedei Khan found that most of the treasures left by the Jin Dynasty had fallen into the hands of Puxian Wannu, he sent a letter to force him, but the messenger was beheaded by Puxian Wannu.
After being refused, the Mongol army began to attack the Eastern Xia Kingdom, and Puxian Wannu was immediately defeated and killed.
However, the Mongol army that destroyed the Eastern Xia Kingdom did not find the long-coveted treasure of the Jin Kingdom in the imperial palace of the Eastern Xia Kingdom.
Some people say that Puxian Wannu knew that he was invincible to the Mongol army, so he buried all the treasures in his hands in a rift valley in the hinterland of a large mountain, thinking that he would restore the country and raise troops on another day.
In order to prevent the treasures from being dug up by outsiders, Puxian Wannu excavated a "poisonous spring" in the place where the treasures were buried, which was full of highly toxic black water, if people and animals accidentally touched the poisonous water, the muscles around the body would be eroded by the poisonous water in an instant, and only the white bones of the body remained!
Some people say that Pu Xian Wannu was born in a small tribe with a hundred-legged dragon as a totem, and the black water in this "poisonous spring" is the venom in the poison sac of the hundred-legged dragon!
Coincidentally, this blue-feathered one-legged Bi Fang is precisely the nemesis of the hundred-legged dragon; And the fire pattern blue feather on Bi Fang's body can neutralize the toxicity of the treasure protection poison spring, so that people can unearth the treasure safely!!
Thinking of the legend of Pu Xian Wannu burying treasures, the eyes of the Orion Men of Lijia Village who looked at Bi Fang immediately became eager.
However, what these people didn't expect was that although Bi Fang looked not lightly injured, he was still fierce and abnormal.
Sensing that someone was quietly approaching, the Bi Fang jerked his head and spat out a few pools of bright red sticky slime at the hunter who was outflanking him from behind.
As soon as the slime splashed on the person's body, the skin and flesh that touched the slime suddenly seemed to have been burned by a raging fire, turning into pieces of black charcoal that turned into fly ash at the slightest touch.
If the Bi Fang had not been seriously injured, none of the hunters who participated in the hunt at that time would have come back alive...... Even so, the Orions still paid the price of six dead and thirteen wounded before they plucked two blue fire pattern tail feathers from Bi Fang's body!
This has laid the disaster of division and contention for Lijia Village!
It was only when the surviving hunters fanatically stroked the two hard-won Bi Fang tail feathers that they realized a problem: although everyone was familiar with the legend of Puxian Wannu digging a spring to protect the treasure, where was this black spring?
Leaving the legendary treasure of ten thousand slaves buried as much gold and silver as a hill, this Bi Fang tail feather is just a beautiful blue bird feather!
However, just as Li Li was sighing at these two blue bird feathers that cost six lives, an exciting news came from outside his brother and director: "There is a wealthy merchant in the Guannai who does not want to reveal his identity who is willing to buy this kind of Bifang tail feather at the price of 10,000 taels of silver!" β
Although the news did not reveal how many tail feathers this wealthy merchant wanted to buy, he pushed himself and others, and most of the wealthy merchants also offered a sky-high price of 10,000 taels to buy bird feathers for the treasure of Wannu.
Anyway, it's all about digging into the hole, and it's enough to have a tail feather to protect yourself...... It's nothing more than eating more hard work and moving out a few more times by yourself.
In this way, Li Lizheng quickly reached an agreement with Dong Yuanwai: sell a tail feather to this wealthy businessman in Guannai, and at the same time bring more people to hide in the dark and keep an eye on him!
Once this person left for the valley where Puxian Wannu buried his treasure, Li Lizheng would follow him with someone...... At that time, the remaining tail feathers in Li Lizheng's hand will come in handy.
I never expected that this praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind!
Li Lizheng and Dong Yuanwai were on their way to sell tail feathers when they were attacked by a group of unknown bandits.
A group of more than a dozen people failed to escape, and the bifang tail feather, which was worth 10,000 taels, was missing!
When it was learned from a passing caravan that the corpses of Li Lizheng and his party had been discarded on the forest mountain road, Lijia Village, which was originally quiet and peaceful, was about to make a lot of noise.
On the one hand, no one wants to continue to provoke this gang of bandits and bring disaster to the village; But on the other hand, everyone was reluctant to give up the last expensive bird feather worth at least 10,000 taels of silver
After some discussion, Li Xuan, who was elected by the village as a new generation of Lizheng, finally made a decision: "Recruit a person with a foreign surname from a side village to the only daughter left by Lizheng in the previous office, and in the future, I will say to the outside world that the Lizheng family in the previous office is dead, and the affairs of his family are not clear to others." At the same time, the remaining Bi Fang tail feather was handed over to several elders in the village to take turns to keep it, and first avoid the limelight of bandits. β
Unexpectedly, two years after the death of the previous Li Zheng, a ragged desert escapee came to Lijia Village and asked to see the current Li Zheng in the village...... This person is the only son of Dong Yuanwai, Dong Erzhu!
