An Ying Mountain, on the stockade.

Hush and Qiu Fuzi worked in the kitchen for a day, making a big dish for Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Come on, come on, you can drink tonight." Ye Fu brought a few large jars out of the cellar, and after warming the stove, he filled it for everyone, and secretly poked and poked himself to refill a cup.

Everyone ates, drinks, and chats happily.

"In a flash, I have been away from the capital for more than half a year."

"Big brother, is the capital fun?"

Ye Fu numbled his mouth: "It's okay, just more people, more beautiful girls, and higher houses." But it's definitely not the same as in the mountains, it's a lot more fun here. ”

"Really?"

"Of course."

……

The corners of Zhuang Xiaoling's mouth hooked slightly, listening to the two chattering on the side, and when everyone was slightly drunk, he dragged them into their respective rooms one by one and covered them with quilts.

Qiu Fuzi didn't take a few sips, he was the most sober of the crowd, and walked up to Zhuang Xiaoling: "I'll take care of it." ”

"Thank you, teacher, you better go wash and rest first."

The familiar title still has the taste of the past after years of death, and both of them are a little emotional.

Zhuang Xiaoling was in place for a moment, picked up the shhh

"Thank you Master Qiu for speaking and letting her stay."

"Her identity ......"

"To me, it doesn't matter." Zhuang Xiaoling took out a Yunjin blessing bag from the house and handed it to Master Qiu, "Teacher, Happy New Year." ”

Qiu Fuzi's eyes were as plain as ever, and he reached out to take the lucky bag, and his fingers sharpened the white plum embroidered on his head.

Many years ago, the two also celebrated the festival together, and learned that Master Qiu liked plum blossoms, and Zhuang Xiaoling would break a branch in the early morning to send it over.

"The plum blossoms on the mountain are proud of the frost and snow, the wind and bones are rugged, and it is not easy to bloom a flower, and I can't bear to fold it again."

After Zhuang Xiaoling finished speaking, he entered the cabin and closed the door gently.

Master Qiu stood outside, listening to the silence of the court, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a bleak smile.

"You don't want to fold plum blossoms, but you still imprison me."

After the year, the wind and waves are calm, the time on the mountain is leisurely, the spring is getting better, and the mountain flowers are splendid.

One day, Zhuang Xiaoling was enjoying the flowers on the edge of the dam, and clusters of small yellow flowers were clinging to the green bamboo, so lively and cute.

A brother who was inquiring at the foot of the mountain hurriedly returned to the stockade and reported: "Chief, I saw a lot of officers and soldiers, and they surrounded An Yingshan!" ”

"Dare to mess with me, brothers carry the guys!"

Ye Fu heard the movement, out of the wooden house was to see everyone sharpening their knives, and they were going down the mountain violently.

"What's wrong?"

"Jin Ruoze, that old slippery head, actually dared to send troops to surround my uncle's territory, and he was bound to teach him a lesson! Hehe, if he dares to come to suppress the bandits, Lao Tzu will dare to go to his house to eat and drink and not leave, anyway, An Yingshan has so many brothers, one person can eat him for several years! ”

Ye Fu frowned when he heard this, obviously suspicious of Zhuang Xiaoling's arrogance.

Mountain bandits and thieves like to say big things, like this headless and brainless, I don't know the sky and the earth is thick words, Ye Fu is categorically unbelievable.

"Why, you don't believe me?" It seems that he saw through what Ye Fu was thinking, the corners of Zhuang Xiaoling's mouth were hooked, and he walked forward in disheveled clothes, pretending to be chic, "Don't worry, the brothers haven't seen any battles, and they will be fine." ”

"Don't be impulsive just yet." Ye Fu frowned and thought, "If it's just Jin Ruoze, it's not enough to be afraid, but what if it's King Jingyang's soldiers and horses?" ”

Zhuang Xiaoling and the others were stunned when they heard this: "What do you mean?" ”

"Remember the woman who asked you to rob me down the mountain?"

Zhuang Xiaoling's eyebrows flashed, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Of course I remember." ”

"She's ...... The wife of King Jingyang, who had not passed through the door, led an army to Ancheng to suppress bandits. ”

"Then I'll go down and take a look first, and ask Jin Ruoze what he means."

Ye Fu nodded and stayed on the stockade to wait.

Zhuang Xiaoling led people down the mountain at speed, to the flat and open valley boundary, where he observed, and sure enough, he saw that there were soldiers stationed, and the demeanor of the soldiers was revealed, and the discipline was strict.

"Shhhhhhhh

"Hmm."

An hour later, Jin Ruo appeared in front of Zhuang Xiaoling.

Zhuang Xiaoling raised his steps lightly, paced in front of him, and his tone was relaxed and indifferent: "Jin Junshou, send troops to live at the foot of Uncle Ben's Mountain, is it to protect my safety?" ”

Jin Ruoze smiled gently: "Second Master Zhuang said that he was laughing." This soldier is not under my command, but someone else who wants to 'protect' you. ”

"So, are you determined to fight against Uncle Ben?"

Jin Ruo smiled clearly: "Second Master Zhuang Mingjian, it's the court that can't tolerate you, not Jin." ”

Zhuang Xiaoling returned to the mountain angrily.

Ye Fu knew the situation and analyzed: "That army is about 2,000 people, if you add the county, the strength is ten times that of us, and we can't fight hard." ”

"Boss!" The people who stayed at the bottom of the mountain to collect news came up again, "Boss, that group of people is divided into two groups, and half of them have gone to the direction of Banya Village!" ”

"Let's find out!"

"Yes."

For a few days, the group traveled back and forth between Banya Village and the village, and learned that the group was looking for a person.

"The man in the portrait resembles a little brother...... someone whispered.

Ye Fu probably knew: "Then I'll go and let them not embarrass the villagers." ”

"You're not allowed to go anywhere." Zhuang Xiaoling called Ye Fu, "For today's plan, how to keep all the brothers, not to let you die." The mountain was sealed by Jin Ruoze, and the village did not send any more food and medicine, they wanted to starve us to death, and finally surrendered without a fight. ”

"They don't dare kill me." Ye Fu was confident and frank, looking at everyone, "I don't want my brothers to suffer for my personal reasons." ”

Ye Fu went down the mountain and went with him.

"If there's any situation, I'll come back and report it immediately."

"Yes, sir."

The rice and grain on the stockade were only enough for two days, and everyone knew the urgency of Xu Wei not to be defeated. Zhuang Xiaoling stared at the clusters of small yellow flowers on the edge of the stockade, wiping his beloved bow and arrow.

The weapons of the people in the stockade are not conventional swords, guns, swords and halberds, most of them are slingshots and stones, bows and arrows, and they make a living as ambushes and tricks.

Fighting against a well-equipped and powerful regular army, everyone's heart beats suddenly.

Everyone packed up their things and made the final preparations for the fight, and Akifuko was arranged in the house.

Zhuang Xiaoling walked in: "There is a cave on the edge of the pond on the top of the mountain that goes down, and there is food stored in it, if the officers and soldiers attack it, you can go there to take refuge and pretend to be a village woman, even if they find out, they will not embarrass you." ”

"What about you?"

Zhuang Xiaoling smiled: "Of course, it's a happy revenge, kill a happy one!" ”

Zhuang Xiaoling walked to the door, turned around and knelt down in front of Master Qiu, his eyes were pious and intense.

"Sir, I have made too many mistakes in this life, and I wish to become a master and apprentice again in the next life, Ah Ling should be a good student."

Qiu Fuzi looked at Zhuang Xiaoling lightly, and watched him leave.

Ye Fu arrived in the village, went straight to the head of the village, everyone saw the portrait of the person excited, hugging the head of the head.

Hush desperately protected Ye Fu in the middle, so as not to let people rub and hurt her.

"Hand her over and we'll be safe, right?"

Everyone muttered quietly, and a few people looked at Ye Fu with respect and awe.

respect her for daring to go into danger alone, and fear that she is a criminal of the court.

At this time, the village chief came over with a wooden cane, and everyone got out of the way.

"This brother, although we Banya Village people are humble and poor, we still have a heart of virtue, and we will never sacrifice you to achieve fulfillment."

Ye Fu smiled lightly when he heard this.

"Thank you, village chief."

Ye Fu didn't say anything and walked to the entrance of the village.

A group of soldiers seemed to be aware of it, and when they saw the villagers crowding around them, they immediately went to report to the commander.

A stele was erected at the entrance of the village, and the inscription was three words: Banya Village.

Ye Fu stood still at the entrance of the village, and walked over a majestic person, who seemed to be their leader.

After seeing Ye Fu, the commander carefully compared the portrait in his hand, and after confirmation, he ordered: "Bring him to me!" ”

The two soldiers went out of the queue to Ye Fu to escort her away.

The villagers watched the formation and retreated to the side.

Hush slammed into one of them, stretched out his foot and kicked the other, and ran backwards by pulling Ye Fu's arm.

"I can't let my big brother be taken away!"

Seeing this, the commander outside the village ordered the two to come back.

"Anyway, it's all a death, and I don't care if it's a whole corpse or not."

"What do you want to do?" Ye Fu asked reflexively.

"On the order of Miss Wenyi, Banya Village will be demolished and everyone will be arrested, especially the person in the portrait."

When the people heard this, they saw the soldiers draw their bows and string their strings, and they fled one after another.

Ye Fu was also booed and retreated.

Arrows came in an overwhelming manner, but there was room for everyone to escape.

The people fled in the direction of Anying Mountain, and if they fled an inch, the arrow array would be closer.

The officers and soldiers at the foot of An Ying Mountain seemed to have received the news, and when they heard the news, they moved towards the village, and under the attack from both sides, the encirclement that could survive became smaller and smaller.

"Set fire."

The commander Shi Qi commanded outside, and the empty village suddenly became a sea of fire, scorching and baking a warm spring day.

"Is he trying to capture us all alive?"

Ye Fu stumbled in the crowd and pulled the boos on the side: "You go back quickly from the other direction and inform Second Master Zhuang that they will all come down the mountain." ”

"Good!"

Ye Fu took the villagers to turn around, ran from the right side of the village, to the foot of Anying Mountain, and there was a high cliff above.

The people rested at the foot of the mountain.

"Did you bring knives with you?"

"Yes!"

"Cut down the trees, keep the raw non-flammable ones in front of them, prevent them from setting fire to them again, and sharpen some sharp weapons."

When everyone heard this, they took action.

The soldiers and horses outside stopped their fierce attack and began to search in an orderly manner.

Zhuang Xiaoling led people down from the mountain and encountered soldiers at the foot of Anying Mountain, and the two sides fought.

"An Yingshan bandits, no one is left!"

On the one hand, the army of the well-trained King Jingyang, on the other hand, is the mountain bandits who fell into the grass, the disparity in strength is too great, Zhuang Xiaoling and others are defeated and retreated, and finally struggled to escape to the place where Ye Fu and others are stationed.

"How's it going?"

"The villagers are all right, what about you?"

Ye Fu looked at the brothers who came one after another, and frowned, "Is it difficult to deal with?" ”

Zhuang Xiaoling smiled bitterly: "Miserable." ”

"Big brother, don't be afraid, we can bear it!" Yakiniku held up a scimitar and inspired.

"Go back to the mountain and go around." The corners of Zhuang Xiaoling's mouth bent, and he pulled Ye Fu forward.

"What about the villagers?"

"Take it with you, too."

"Okay."

Zhuang Xiaoling found the village chief and explained the transfer to the mountain. The people of the stockade walked behind, and the villagers walked in front, and successfully withdrew to the stockade before the soldiers approached.

"Chief, the soldiers couldn't find us and gathered at the foot of the mountain."

"Hmm."

Zhuang Xiaoling pulled Ye Fu's sleeve, looked at her smart eyes after getting her attention, and said with a slight smile: "You go back to the village first to settle everyone." ”

Ye Fu frowned, and pressed the person's shoulder with his backhand: "I know that I can't beat that group of people, but you still have to go down the mountain?" ”

"If you can't beat it, just wait to be caught?" Zhuang Xiaoling pulled down Ye Fu's hand, looked back at the brothers, full of confidence, "Don't worry, rest assured, please rest assured." The third flying pigeon passed the book, saying that he would be able to come back in two days. ”

"Is it useful for him to come back alone?"

Zhuang Xiaoling glanced at Ye Fu: "Do you think the third child is as ambitious and defenseless as you?" ”

"Eh, can you not compare me when praising your brother, it's a big explosion."

Zhuang Xiaoling couldn't understand some of Ye Fu's language, but when he saw her complaining appearance, he couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, you will be safe." ”

Ye Fu raised his eyes, and lightly swept the corners of Zhuang Xiaoling's mouth, as well as the winding paths under the eyes, and the sparse mountains and forests.

"I'll only wait for you for two days, and if you can't see your people after two days, I'll condemn you, go and copy the dealer and then wipe out the three tribes. You'd better trust me. ”

After speaking, Ye Fu turned around without hesitation.

Zhuang Xiaoling watched the person walk away with a faint smile, called the two brothers and ordered: "I have wronged the two of you, and I can't follow the brothers to participate in the action." ”

"Don't worry, boss, we will protect our little brother."

"Hmm."

Zhuang Xiaoling led people down to the middle of the mountain, destroyed the road in the steep terrain and steep slopes, piled up stones and trees, and sent people to squat.

He ambushed again from top to bottom, and gradually dusk.

A man in a brown cloth shirt with a white silk hat was prostrate on the slope, and after whistling, he was dropped and pulled up by a rope.

"Chief," he reported, "I see that they have divided into several squads and are patrolling the foot of the mountain. ”

Zhuang Xiaoling had a serious face and looked at the sky that was about to be dark: "Pay attention to vigilance, they may come up the mountain as soon as it gets dark!" ”

"Yes."

The people staggered back to their respective positions and hid themselves with branches of trees.

Sure enough, after dark, there were many people in the woods, and many people came up with weapons to smear them.

Zhuang Xiaoling whistled, and a group of people quietly got up and put the rope that bound the boulder.

As soon as the soldiers were on the alert, they were knocked downhill by the falling boulders and were seriously injured.

In a moment, in the thick inky night, the depths of the mountain forest were quiet again.

The soldiers were more cautious, and their feet became more and more shallow.

But Zhuang Xiaoling and others are "ghosts" in the mountains and forests, and they are used to it, and they immediately smell different smells when outsiders are there.
