This troubled era has also seriously affected the business of Beacon Mountain, Zhengcheng's dart bureau is gone, this year's New Year's Gift is naturally gone, Zhengcheng's caravan has broken the shadow, Tang County, and the caravan of Hexian County has not been under Beacon Mountain at all, and now passing under Beacon Mountain, except for the people who fled north, is the box soldiers who transported grain to Zhengcheng, Beacon Hill has not been opened for several months.

Li Xiaoqi sat on a rock, looking at Zheng Cheng who seemed to be dead, sad, he was lucky all the way from this broken place, and finally had a little rush in Taiping Mansion, so there was such a thing, so he had to flee in panic, all the way to this mountain, and finally the robbery was on the right track, and the shops in the city were also prosperous. Alas, when will we be able to live a rich life! In her life, she can still live that rich and enjoyable life!

Zhang Gouzi rushed over from afar, waving and shouting as he ran: "Fifth master! Fifth Master! Uncle told you to go back quickly! There's something urgent! ”

Li Xiaoqi jumped off the mountain stone and hurriedly ran to the stockade, what happened again?! Li Xiaoqi rushed into the main hall, and Li Zongliang hurriedly signaled to her: "Don't worry! Nothing serious. ”

Li Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and sat next to Li Zongliang, Zhang Tiemu hurriedly poured a cup of tea for her, Wei Shuisheng looked at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "Just now Guizi and Tiemu went down the mountain to inspect, and met a group of fleeing women, children, old and young, I didn't expect that we knew each other, Xiaoqi still remembers the Mr. Fan who stayed with us for one night in Hexian County, right?" ”

Li Xiaoqi nodded hurriedly and asked in surprise, "Is it his family?" Isn't he an official? The family is so rich, why did they escape with it? Something must have happened. ”

"I think so too, something must have happened, this troubled world, alas!" Li Zongliang sighed and said, Li Zonggui looked at Li Xiaoqi and said: "Mr. Fan is dressed in plain clothes, with filial piety, it seems that he is also a person who has never been far away, and has not escaped, so a group of people, mostly women and children, several cars, are resting at the Eagle Wing Rock under our mountain, this loss is us on the mountain, and if we change others, it is a piece of fat!" ”

Li Xiaoqi frowned, looked at Li Zongliang and asked, "What does the eldest brother mean?" Want to go down the mountain to meet Mr. Fan? ”

"Hmm." Li Zongliang nodded and responded: "Let's go down the mountain to meet him together, and then see if there is anything we can help, Mr. Fan is also kind to us." ”

Li Xiaoqi immediately stood up and agreed: "Then I'll go change my clothes." "The eldest brother has decided on something, and the little one, like Erhuai, listens to the eldest brother.

There are mostly women and children under the mountain, Li Xiaoqi called Sister Zhang and Mrs. Sun, Li Zongliang left Zhang Tiemu to guard the gate tower of the wall, five brothers and sisters, and added Sister Zhang, Mrs. Sun and Lu Feng, who must follow the past to see the excitement, and went down the mountain to the winged rock.

As the name suggests, it is a large rock that protrudes like a wing, recessed underneath, flat leeward, and densely covered with shrubs on the left and right, and has always been a good place for ambushes, and of course a good place for camping. Li Xiaoqi looked at the two or three half-old brown-covered tung oil carts in front of Yanyingyan from a distance, and there were two slightly smaller Taiping carts behind him, both of which were pulled by oxen, and the cow fell to the ground and no one paid attention to it. There was a group of people gathered under the rock, and they didn't know what they were busy with, and they didn't even have a sentry guard.

Only a few dozen steps away from the crowd, the group of people who didn't know what they were busy with still didn't know anything, Li Zongliang paused, turned his head to look at Wei Shuisheng, the two shook their heads helplessly, Li Erhuai took a few steps forward, looked around, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Give me five people, make dumplings for them!" Not a single one left! Lu Feng stretched his neck and looked around, pouting: "If you use five people, one of me is enough!" ”

Li Erhuai turned his head and glared at Lu Feng and was about to refute, Sister Zhang took two steps forward and gently pulled Li Erhuai's clothes, Li Erhuai swallowed back the words in his mouth, Li Xiaoqi stared at Sister Zhang's hand with a smile, Sister Zhang hurriedly let go, took two steps back with a red face, Mrs. Sun lowered her head, pursed her lips and smiled, Li Xiaoqi kicked Lu Feng with her foot and sneered: "Punch a three-year-old child, kick an eighty-year-old man, what a hero!" ”

Li Erhuai and Li Zonggui laughed out loud, Lu Feng glared at Li Xiaoqi, and pointed at Li Erhuai indignantly: "Obviously he said it first!" Li Xiaoqi looked at him, smiled and said: "He is a little mountain bandit, what kind of hero is he, you are a hero of Shangqingmen, a big hero, a big hero!" How can you compare to him? Lu Feng's neck was long because of Li Xiaoqi's words.

While a few people were talking, they finally alarmed the group of people, and the outermost few people hurriedly turned around to look this way, Li Xiaoqi recognized a middle-aged man in the middle at a glance, it was the elder Chang who met on the road and was with the young master of the Fan family, Li Zongliang, who was walking in the front, arched his hands, and had already greeted with a smile: "Old Chang, do you still recognize me?" ”

Lao Chang clasped his hands in his sleeves and sleeved them in front of his chest, squinted his eyes and looked at Li Zongliang and the others carefully, suddenly pulled out his hand, pointed at Li Zongliang and shouted in surprise: "Uncle Mu!" Alas, there is also the second master of the wood, and the third master! Alas, sir! It's the ones who saved the young master last year! Lao Changtou recognized Li Zongliang and the others, and shouted in surprise, while turning around sharply and beckoning inside.

Mr. Fan stood up from the crowd and hurriedly squeezed out.

Li Zongliang had stopped, Li Xiaoqi was crowded between Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng, looking at Mr. Fan carefully, he was a lot thinner, his original white and round face had collapsed cheeks, his face was blue and yellow, his eyes were full of bloodshots, his expression was sad and sad, his eyes were dull and staring at Li Zongliang and the others, Li Zongliang hurriedly took half a step forward, and said with a long salute: "Mr. Fan is fine, in Xiamuda, do you remember?" ”

Mr. Fan's tears welled up, pointed at Li Zongliang with his straight arm, turned to Wei Shuisheng, and then pointed over one by one, and suddenly squatted on the ground, holding the number one and crying. Li Zongliang was stunned, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Li Zongliang, and said in a low voice: "He looks like this, I'm afraid that the young master is gone." Wei Shuisheng sighed lowly: "What Xiao Mi said makes sense. ”

Li Zongliang sighed secretly, hurriedly took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to help Mr. Fan, Li Xiaoqi turned his head and instructed Lao Changtou: "Lao Chang, find a stool for your master to sit on." ”

Lao Changtou was wiping his tears one after another, and when he heard Li Xiaoyi's words, he hurriedly turned around and looked for it, but also found a pony to come over, Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng helped Mr. Fan to sit down, squatted beside him, and persuaded in a low voice.

Lu Feng clenched his fists on his chest, looked at the women standing under the winged rock one by one, and frowned, Li Xiaoqi and Sister Zhang and Mrs. Sun stood a little farther away, carefully looking at the car, cattle and people, and also frowned, Sister Zhang and Aunt Sun were sadly cried by Mr. Fan, and also shed tears, Li Erhuai and Li Zonggui squatted beside Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng, and they were also full of sadness when Mr. Fan cried.

Mr. Fan stopped his sorrow, wiped his tears with his sleeve, looked at Li Zongliang arched his hand, and his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly speak: "I actually saw a few more here, fortunately, ••••••" Mr. Fan arched his hands again and again, but he couldn't continue.

"What's the matter, sir?" Wei Shuisheng simply asked straightforwardly, Mr. Fan tilted his head, closed his eyes and swallowed back the tears that were about to flow out, and sighed: "The family is ruined, the family is ruined!" ”

"Sir, tell me slowly, what is going on? What about the young master? Li Zongliang asked in a low voice, Mr. Fan raised his hand to cover his face, trembling and speechless, Lao Changtou sighed sadly, took two steps forward, and said while sighing: "The young master is gone, just a while ago, first the tax collectors came to collect grain, and then the county officials came again, and then they were soldiers. What a soldier! Better than a thief! The young master argued with them for a few words, and was cut to the ground with a knife, and with a knife, it was gone, and the Fan family had this one root, and the root was broken! ”

Li Zongliang was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Isn't Mr. Fan an official?" How dare they, dare to do so? This royal law! ”

Mr. Fan waved his hand weakly: "The country is no longer a country, an official?" Ha! What is it?! Mr. Fan hung his head, for a long time, and suddenly sighed, as if he came to his senses, looked up at Li Zongliang and the others one by one: "You are all good, all are good." ”

Seeing that Mr. Fan's expression was still in a trance, Li Xiaoqi took a few steps forward, looked at Lao Changtou and asked, "How did you escape?" What's going on? ”

"I can't go on, I want this and that every day, grandma heard that the young master was gone, and she didn't come up in one breath, so she also followed, and she paid the food at the limited time, and there was no way." Lao Changtou sighed and spoke, Li Xiaoqi was dizzy when he listened, turned his head to look at the women and children under the mouth rock and asked, "Who else is there in the family besides your master?" ”

"Oh, and the big lady, there." Lao Changtou hurriedly turned around and pointed to the crowd and said, Li Xiaoqi followed his fingers, and he couldn't see clearly when the head was blocked, so he simply went to the crowd to find himself.

Mrs. Fan was also paying attention to Li Zongliang and the others, seeing Li Xiaoqi coming, she hurriedly stood up, lowered her eyes, and bent her knees generously to perform a blessing ceremony, Li Xiaoqi looked at her carefully, tall and thin, with delicate facial features, black and bright hair, curled into a simple round bun, tied with hemp rope, her temples and hair were scattered, lined with a blue and yellow complexion, her eyes were also full of bloodshots, she was dressed in a coarse linen filial piety suit, but her attitude was generous and bookish, Li Xiaomi's eyes were full of appreciation, thought about it, and bent her knees. made a not-so-good-looking and standardized blessing: "Sister Fan is polite, I just wore men's clothes for convenience." ”

Mrs. Fan was obviously relieved, and picked the corners of her mouth a little embarrassed, Li Xiaoqi stepped forward and pulled her to sit on the felt carpet on the ground and asked, "What happened?" Why did you escape like this ••••••? ”
