Don't look at these people from the rivers and lakes who came to besiege Fang Jinsheng when they all ran like monkeys, in fact, there were already many people with miasma, weak limbs, and poor physical strength, and even some people were affected by Mr. Yu's words, and hallucinated, and later developed into a claw to catch ghosts. Lu Ying contributed his wine very painfully, got together with others, and used it to detoxify a few half-dead juniors.

It was getting late, and everyone found a spacious stone crevice to rest temporarily. People still kept a certain distance from Lu Ying, and Lu Ying didn't care about seizing the opportunity and occupied the dry position in the innermost part of the stone cave, so Fang Jinsheng and the three of them sat around the innermost and built a fire, observing the movement outside while talking around the fireplace.

"You've all been here to Fourteen Mountains for the past few years, isn't it the first time you've encountered this?" Fang Jinsheng said.

There was a stand on the fire, Lu Ying squinted his eyes and roasted a hare, and said, "It's not the first time I've come, they don't know." Fourteen Mountains are so big, how easy is it to meet jackdaws smoothly? If you want to avoid the checkpoint, it's simple, but if you think about it, inside the bandits' den, the places that you don't dare to take care of, is that what ordinary people can go? ”

Fang Jinsheng thought about it, this is indeed the reason. Lu Ying nodded when she saw that she didn't seem to understand, and smiled: "This is just a preface, the text is still behind, I said little lady, aren't you afraid?" ”

Although the summer night was cool, but the cold in the deep mountains and forests was extremely heavy, Fang Jinsheng shrank inward with his knees, leaned his back against the stone wall, and said casually: "I said that I am not afraid that you will believe it?" ”

Lu Ying laughed.

Fang Jinsheng said again: "Since I've come here, I'm afraid it's useless - eh, is it baked?" I'm dying of hunger. ”

Lu Ying took the rabbit in front of him, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then leaned in and sniffed it, his eyebrows jumped.

"Okay, that's good, but you have to be prepared, the conditions are limited, I'm afraid this thing won't taste so good."

Fang Jinsheng took a rabbit leg he shared, sniffed it, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took a bite, and swallowed it before he could chew it.

Seeing this, Chu Shannan, who was next to him, hung down without a trace of the hand holding the rabbit's leg.

Lu Ying seemed to be eating something delicious in the world, chewing on the side of her mouth, and smiled playfully at Fang Jinsheng: "The little lady is no better than us rough people who run the rivers and lakes, and it is normal to not be used to eating for the first time." ”

After speaking, he touched it in his arms with one hand for a long time, took out a half-sized water bladder, picked up the plug with his teeth, spit it aside, and drank it from the mouth of the sac.

Fang Jinsheng didn't need to taste it to know what was in it, and glanced at him: "Why do you still have wine?" ”

"Shhhhh After speaking, he kissed the water bladder very coquettishly, and Fang Jinsheng's retching that had just subsided almost didn't have another attack.

Rao was hungry, she really couldn't eat anymore, looked at the rabbit leg in her hand, and threw it aside.

Lu Ying paused, and sighed: "Violent destruction of heavenly things." ”

Fang Jinsheng glanced at the group of people sitting outside and asked, "What do they ...... you It seems to be afraid and hateful, why is that? ”

The rabbit meat in Lu Ying's mouth has not yet been chewed, and when he heard this, he lowered his eyes and smiled, when he laughed, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and his slightly heavy eyebrows and eyes were a little vicissitudes under the firelight.

He raised his eyelashes and looked at Fang Jinsheng: "You really want to hear it?" ”

Fang Jinsheng had a hunch that things in this were probably not simple.

She nodded, and the flames in front of her flickered from time to time under the instigation of the mountain wind, occasionally floating sparks.

"There was once a god in Qingzhou, who punished evil and promoted good, solved countless cases, and enjoyed a good reputation among the people." Lu Ying put the rabbit back in its place, and rubbed his thumb with the wine at the mouth of the water bladder intentionally or unintentionally, his expression was not serious, but he had no smile, and his face was always covered with a layer of cold color that made people retreat for no reason.

"After the rise of bandits in the Fourteen Mountains in the southwest, he was also sent by Lord Zhizhou to suppress the bandits. At that time, the 14 mountains were divided into the first seven mountains and the last seven mountains, which were under the control of two mountain bandit leaders, one of whom was called 'Jackdaw' and the other was called 'Fire Sin'. It is said that these two were originally brothers, and they laid down the fourteen mountains together, and after occupying the mountains as bandits, the latter seven mountains were divided into fire sins, and the fire sins committed a lot of crimes, and their reputation became bigger and bigger, while the jackdaws of the first seven mountains did not act all year round, rarely came out, and had no prestige in the rivers and lakes. ”

"The back seven mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the fire is strong. After the head catcher went to the Fourteen Mountains, he naturally had to occupy the first seven mountains as a stronghold before he could find a way to break into the last seven mountains. At that time, he had made many military exploits, the scenery was prosperous, and he was full of spirit, and he really led people to take the first seven mountains in one fell swoop, thinking about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes and the morality of chivalry, he saved the life of the jackdaw, and planned to escort him back to the palace for interrogation in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Ying suddenly paused, frowned, and stared at the flames rising without saying a word, with a slowly rising killing intent in his eyes.

I don't know if it's because the wind happened to be blowing, Fang Jinsheng's knees trembled, and a familiar figure flashed in his mind.

But when he reached Houqi Mountain, he found that it had become a volcano - the fire burned the entire mountain forest, and the so-called 'fire sin' was trapped in the cottage, still naively waiting for his good brother to save him. When the head catcher realized that something was wrong, he found that the retreat had been blocked, and only then did his subordinates report that there were a large number of mountain bandits in the first seven mountains in ambush, and the 'jackdaw' had been robbed. ”

Fang Jinsheng frowned inexplicably: "What...... What do you mean by 'so-called fire'? ”

"The two swapped identities." Chu Shannan, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke, and the eyes hidden under the hood did not know how to look at the ground in a desolate manner, and the light and shadow alternated on the soap veil.

Lu Ying didn't look up, his eyes were always on the fire: "Yes, Huo Xi expected that the head catcher would not kill the 'Jackdaw', so he exchanged identities and territories with the Jackdaw, and promised the Jackdaw that he would bring people to the Houqishan Mountains to support, and attack back and forth, so as to wipe out these officers and soldiers." It's just that Jackdaw doesn't know that the person who Huo Sin really wants to get rid of is not the officers and soldiers, but him. ”

A stick of firewood was half-burned, and it was warped, and there was a slight crackling sound in the fire. The sudden silence around could be heard of the needles dropping, if it weren't for the sound of people's conversations gradually coming from outside, Fang Jinsheng almost thought that the entire mountain forest was listening to this past.

After a long time, Fang Jinsheng broke the silence in a low voice: "What about later?" ”

Lu Ying seemed to be pulled back to consciousness a little by her voice, her well-defined eyelids opened and closed slightly up and down a few times, and she came back to her senses and said, "Later, the real jackdaw was still waiting for the fire to fulfill his promise, and in the end, the fire man came, but he didn't come to save him." At that time, the people of the first seven mountains, the people of the back seven mountains, and all the officers and soldiers were all killed together, and in the end, they were all red-eyed, and they didn't know whether the soul under the sword was their own people or the enemy. Seeing that the situation was not good, the catcher planned to catch the jackdaw and evacuate, but the fire outside was too big, and he couldn't take the jackdaw out. And the fire sin finally succeeded in occupying all the hills of the Fourteen Mountains, and his reputation became so great that even the imperial court gave up three points. ”

Fang Jinsheng's IQ suddenly went online: "So, the current 'jackdaw' is actually a fire sin, and he is just wearing the name of a jackdaw?" ”

Lu Ying nodded.

Although he had already guessed in his heart, Fang Jinsheng still asked with confirmation: "......What is that divine capture?"

"That god captures the surname Lu, the name Ying, the word Suiyang, grasps the wrong mistakes, and also contributed to the birth of a mountain king, but he is an unknown person. After the Battle of the Fourteen Mountains, he resigned on his own, mingled with the people, was destitute, and waited for death. ”

Lu Ying's voice suddenly became a lot clearer, he raised his head, changed his comfortable posture, and put his arms behind his head with a smile, leaning against the stone wall.

It's as if from beginning to end, he's really just recounting the experience of someone he doesn't know.

Fang Jinsheng couldn't help but fall silent, while Chu Shannan never moved, like a humanoid sculpture.

Lu Ying waited for a long time, tilted her head to look at this, then at that, frowned and shouted, "Hey-you two are too deep in the play to get out?" ”

Fang Jinsheng glanced at him with a little unbearable: "These things are all caused by fire in the final analysis, haven't you explained it to those people?" ”

Lu Ying laughed twice, shaking his head while laughing: "Do you think anyone will believe what I say?" ”

Fang Jinsheng: "We believe." ”

The smile on the corner of Lu Ying's mouth suddenly disappeared slowly, and there was a faint and confusing light in his eyes, but it was fleeting.

Fang Jinsheng tugged at Chu Shannan's sleeve, trying to get an echo: "Right? ”

Chu Shannan was like a piece of wood on the road, and he almost didn't respond to any accosting from Lu Ying, and the other party Jinsheng also ignored him, but this time, he actually nodded lightly.

Fang Jinsheng was quite surprised, and couldn't help but look at him twice, Chu Shannan seemed to mind her gaze a little, and moved to the side.

Fang Jinsheng: "......"

Lu Ying lowered her head and smiled, picked up the roast rabbit meat on the shelf again, broke off one leg, and handed it to Fang Jinsheng very heroically.

"I didn't expect that after many years, I actually asked me to meet two confidants, come, give face, and do one!"

When Fang Jinsheng saw him like this, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he took it with disgust, and while thinking about where to hide this leg for a while, he said, "This jackdaw and the fire sin are completely opposite in their behavior, so no one can see that it is wrong?" ”

Lu Yingnunu mouthed and said: "There are many versions of the rivers and lakes about these two people, and besides, they are originally a family, and they rarely show up, and their subordinates act in the eyes of outsiders, so who will be so clear?" At this point, he paused, his smiling eyes slightly upward, as if remembering something.

"But I remember vividly the jackdaw I saw with my own eyes, his eyes were beautiful and bright, and he was a little boring, but worth associating."

The more Fang Jinsheng listened, the more familiar he felt, and asked suspiciously, "Are you talking about that ......?"

Lu Ying smiled at her meaningfully: "I remember you asked me if 'Jackdaw' was his real name - of course not, he has a rather elegant name, called Chu Shannan." ”
