An hour later, several people sat in the glade outside the cave, and Xie Tingning ate roasted rabbit legs and told about his tragic experience.

It turned out that after breaking up with Lin Shaoge and the two that day, Xie Taning hired a carriage to return to the capital. Halfway through, I met two merchants from the direction of Pingyuan City in a wine shop, saying that there was a little girl who sold hairpins in Pingyuan City, picking up a Yunhai silver hairpin, and only selling a thousand lines of silver, but unfortunately the two of them really couldn't make up the money, otherwise they would make at least five times as much as they bought it and sold it in Kyoto.

When Xie Tanning heard this, his eyes didn't shine, so he immediately threw fifty taels of silver to the coachman, turned around and rushed to Pingyuan City. He deserved to be unlucky, entered the Jiangdong territory, and happened to meet Hong Sanniang and his gang, so he was arrested.

Seeing Xie Tanning's delicate appearance, the red sanniang pressed on the ground, wanting to force him to be husband and wife, but Xie Tanning was startled and frightened, and it was useless. So Hong Sanniang laughed at him as a rabbit and threw him to the bandits...... I don't know what happened next, Xie Tianning didn't say it, and the three bandits didn't mention it.

Looking at his appearance, although he was a little wilted, it didn't look like he was being caught in something.

Xie Qianning hated and gnawed all the rabbit legs, wiped the back of his hand behind his back, and wanted to pat Bang Yue's shoulder.

"Second brother, speaking of which, I also had a dream that I dreamed that you were a woman, and I didn't want to see you dressed as a man and a woman today, and you were really beautiful!"

Lin Shaoge slapped his oily hand back, frowned, and said, "Brother Xie, did you still dream of buying a bunch of Yunhai silver hairpins?" ”

Xie Tianning was stunned and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Lin is clever!" I even guessed this. Sure enough, I saw it in a dream, wrapped it in oiled paper, and kept it close to my body. ”

Bang Yue and Shaoge glanced at each other, and asked with a smile: "Then you woke up and didn't touch your body, but you really conjured up that hairpin?" ”

"Whew!" Xie Tianning sneered, "Naturally, I touched it, but there was oil paper, and there were two buns in it!" ”

"When?"

"Just after saying goodbye to you two that day." Xie Qianning was stunned for a moment, and explained with some embarrassment: "It's not that the foolish brother is hiding that the two of you want to eat alone, it's just a dream, and he thinks that the dream has come true, this matter... Can't say it, can't you? ”

Bang Yue's heart suddenly.

Those nine hairpins, seeing Xie Tanning wrapped them in oiled paper and put them away closely, how could they become two buns? !

Lin Shaoge shook his head lightly and smiled: "Then Brother Xie has not eaten buns?" ”

"Thrown!" Xie Tianning waved his hand, "Brother, think about it, for example, if you dream of holding a beautiful woman, when you open your eyes, you find a big man lying in your arms - you have to kick him to the edge of the sky to relieve your anger!" ”

After that, he looked at Bang Yue, scratched his head and said, "Second brother, stupid brother didn't mean that...... If only a man as beautiful as the second brother......"

Shaoge coughed lightly: "Call her brother and sister." ”

"Oh...... Oh?! Sure enough, it's a woman?! Ah, it's a woman, such a good-looking woman......"

Bang Yue rolled her eyes, thinking in her heart that Xie Tianning was afraid that he would turn around and secretly hide the nine hairpins in the bun, but when he went down the mountain, he drank the antidote and forgot about this stubble...... I don't know if those two buns have been thrown on the side of the road for many days, and they are still alive?! Tens of thousands of taels of silver, it's worth the risk of going back and picking it up......

Lin Shaoge no longer continued to dwell on this topic, and called the three bandits who were trembling on the side.

"Who are Silver Tiger, Long Ye, and Old Man? How did you become bandits? ”

The three of them talked for a while, but they didn't know how to do it, and they shook off what they had seen and heard along the way.

It turns out that these three are from the same village as Hong Sanniang, called Taohuagou.

The villagers live halfway up the mountain, and the fields are in ditches. When the flood hit, the fields and livestock in the village were flooded, and the villagers lived on high ground, but there were no casualties, but they watched the water continue to flood, and they were afraid that they would starve to death in the coming year. And after they had taken counsel, they fled toward the west.

Along the way, I found that they were not the only ones who suffered the disaster? The land of the entire Sanjiang Province has either become a big lake or a muddy pond, and it is full of hunger.

In the beginning, there were still grass roots and bark that could be picked off to satisfy hunger, but in the end, even the trunks were gnawed, and there was nothing to eat, so they could only drink water. A group of people walked under the scorching sun, like a group of moving water bladders, listening to the sound of "cooing" from a distance, and when they got closer, they were all swollen and shaking a big belly.

Until the first man falls.

I'm really hungry.

Speaking of the taste of cannibalism for the first time, Liao You, the black-haired mole, smacked his lips: "It's like pork being soaked in a water tank for ten days and a half months, just a smell of water!" ”

Later, Hong Sanniang's mother didn't move.

Hong Sanniang has been carrying her on her back, and in this group of people, she and her mother drink the least water, because Hong Sanniang knows that she doesn't care if she drinks water.

Everyone looked at her mother's lean and thin arms and legs, and their eyes were green.

They demanded that Hong Sanniang sacrifice her mother's body - this was a matter of course, because the two of them also lived to the present by sharing the food and falling down first.

But Hong Sanniang didn't agree. She didn't believe her mother was dead.

In fact, Hong Sanniang and her mother really weren't dead until they snatched her from Hong Sanniang and started to eat, she finally screamed and died.

Hong Sanniang went crazy. She snatched a shovel and knocked the men kneeling beside her mother's body to the ground, chopping them to death with a spade.

I don't know where she got her strength. When everyone reacted and persuaded her to stop, those people couldn't tell who was who.

This meal was minced meat.

Later, Hong Sanniang became the leader of everyone. Soon, she led them to destroy a village, and no one starved to death since.

Their share can only be regarded as bandits, irregular. They have traveled to many places, and they have seen the methods of the real bandits, and they have long forgotten what they were like, avoiding the big bandits, swallowing up the small bandits, burning and looting all the way.

Only Hong Sanniang was calm from beginning to end - except for the time when her mother died.

She heard a lot from the mouths of the Lambs. For example, the "Silver Tiger" was originally a bandit leader who occupied the mountains as the king, but this time he took advantage of the natural disaster to ambush on the official road, robbed several disaster relief troops and local evacuated officers and soldiers, grabbed a lot of grain and grass and armaments, and incorporated the surrendered officers and soldiers, and now it is already a bandit army with the strength of a regular army.

"Silver Tiger" once suffered a punishment, the forehead was tattooed with words, after falling into the grass, on the forehead carved a big "king" word to cover the black word, silver powder painted it, from then on to the "silver tiger" as the number, all the villages and towns he occupied, want to live, must be engraved on the forehead "Wang" word, painted with black ink, in order to show submission.

Hong Sanniang's nose is sharper than that of a dog, and she can always smell the smell of "Silver Tiger" ten miles away, and take everyone to carefully avoid it.
