In these chaotic times, it is difficult to find a peaceful place.

There must be an enemy blockade on the main road, and there may be bandits and bandits on the mountain road.

The small village where the elder Wei and the others rested was visited by a group of mountain bandits not long ago, but the bandits did not get any benefit.

It was raining heavily, and they could only spend the night here.

After the two babies were asleep, the three of them met to discuss their future itinerary. Gong Qingzhen said that if they didn't rush to Danyang, they were afraid that they would not be able to keep up with the big army.

Da Lao Wei said: "I'm not ready yet! ”

Xiao Xu asked in a low voice: "Comrade Elder Wei, what else do you need to prepare?" ”

"At least we have to prepare some rain gear, now that we are raining so hard, we are taking two babies, how can we hurry?"

The three of them were chatting, and they fell asleep unconsciously, and when they woke up, it was dawn, the rain had stopped, and Xiao Xu urged him to continue his journey.

When they walked out of the broken grass house, they saw a large group of old and weak women and children supporting each other, standing outside the house, staring at them with curious eyes.

Gong Qingzhen hurriedly said: "Folks, we are not bad people, we are just passing by here to take shelter from the rain, let's leave!" ”

Xiao Xu hurriedly pulled her sleeve, and the elder Wei said goodbye to these people, and then walked out of the village with the two companions. A muddy path stretches ahead.

On the way, Xiao Xu asked Lao Wei again: "Comrade Lao Wei, where is your hometown, and who else is there at home?" ”

Da Lao Wei said: "This belongs to my personal privacy, and it is inconvenient for me to introduce it to you, although we are all comrades-in-arms who have been in and out of life together!" ”

Xiao Xu "cut" and didn't ask any more.

The road ahead was deserted, and the mud on their shoes was getting heavier and heavier, and when they felt sore, hungry and weak, they were already in front of a mountain sandwich.

"No, I have to take a break and eat something before I can continue my journey!" Xiao Xu sat on a stone on the side of the road.

Elder Wei raised his eyes and looked at this Jiashan and said, "If the enemy doesn't ambush here, then the bandits will definitely rob passers-by here!" ”

As soon as his words fell, a horse's neighing came from the mountains and forests on both sides.

Gong Qingzhen was busy vigilant, and a group of bandits in tattered clothes and riding donkeys and horses whistled to show up.

The two women were busy protecting the baby in their arms, and the group of bandits quickly approached and surrounded them.

The elder Wei took a big look and found that there were no more than ten bandits in this group, one leading a horse and two riding mules, riding

The donkey's servant has yellow muscles and thin muscles on all faces, and is weak and windless, but they all hold kitchen knives and spears in their hands, and those who stand on the mountains to start their heads also hold a clay gun in their hands.

"Whoever knows each other will hand over your belongings, or you will be empty!" The bandit who took the lead had a beard on his face and shouted in a Xiangxi accent.

Elder Wei asked unhurriedly: "What if we have no property?" ”

"Then keep these two girls and sell them at a good price at the market!" This bandit leader has a sideways face and a little strength.

Gong Qingzhen and Xiao Xu hurriedly hugged the child tightly, and the elder Wei raised his arms and said loudly: "You see, I am now barehanded!" ”

The bandit leader responded: "Yes, you hurry up and hand over your belongings and get out, I will leave you with a cheap life!" ”

Elder Wei shook his head and said, "You guys are too thin!" As he spoke, he put down his basket and took off his black robe, revealing a tight black robe. He kicked the mud off his shoes and moved his hands and feet.

The group of bandits stared at him curiously, and the elder Wei said to the two companions: "You don't have to be afraid, stay where you are and don't move!" ”

A bandit came to pick up the black robe he had left behind, and he grabbed him by the neck with one hand and threw it at the bandit leader on the hillside.

Although this bandit was thin, he was also an adult, weighing at least 100 pounds, but he threw it out like a weighing stone in the hands of the elder Wei and smashed the bandit leader.

The remaining bandits were surprised, and then rushed towards him in an uproar.

The elder Wei quickly pulled out the awl he was carrying, and when the awl went down, when he pulled it out, he brought out a shredded piece of meat, and the bandit who was stabbed wailed like a pig.

It took two minutes for these ten people to be injured by the elder Wei, and the bandit leader was angry with the earthen gun, and the bandit who was thrown over gritted his teeth, took out the flint and began to light the fire.

However, the bullet of the earthen gun was not issued, and the elder Wei had already snatched it, grabbed the earthen gun, and threw it on the mountain road, and the bandit who was responsible for lighting the fire rolled down the hillside in fright.

The bandit leader was furious, his eyes widened, and he smashed at the door of the elder Wei with a punch, but it was an awl that greeted him.

The awl pierced the leader's palm, causing him to grin in pain.

The elder Wei retracted the awl with great force, brought out a piece of flesh, the bandit leader screamed and fled down the hillside, the remaining bandits scattered in a hurry, a bantam mountain horse remained in place and did not move, the two mules took a step away and were about to escape, the elder Wei rushed down from the hillside, grabbed the reins of the two mules, and pulled it hard.

The three donkeys let out a cry that woke up the babies in the arms of the two women.

"Now we have mounts, we can save some foot effort!" Elder Wei said to the two women who were stunned.

He helped Gong Qingzhen and Xiao Xu onto the mule, and he himself rode a donkey, led a bantam horse to lead the way, and at the end of the road between the two mountains, the bandit leader blocked the exit.

Elder Wei raised the awl in his hand and scolded: "I know you are not convinced, but the price of challenging me is huge, I'm afraid you can't afford it!" ”

The bandit leader responded viciously: "You remember, my name is Diamond Mountain Leopard, and I will definitely seek revenge on you!" ”

The elder Wei showed a disdainful expression, continued to fight the donkey, and fled stupidly from the leopard.

Sure enough, there was a market town in front of it, but it was sparsely populated, and the elder Wei asked the pedestrians in the town that there was only one small inn here, so he had to stay.

The shopkeeper was a half-aged, and he was a little unhappy to see him bring two women and children.

Elder Wei pointed to the donkey behind him and said, "We came out in a hurry this time, and we didn't bring any money with us, but this donkey gave you money for the store!" ”

The proprietress brought out the meal, the rice was still brown rice, but there was already bacon and salted fish for the dish.

Xiao Xu hurriedly asked his companion in a low voice: "Could this inn be a black shop?" I see this lady looking at us weirdly! ”

Da Lao Wei took the bacon with the rice, and said vaguely: "Eat and drink with confidence, go to bed after you are full of food and drink, the last thing I am afraid of is the black shop!" ”

After the two women had eaten their fill, they began to work on the two babies, and the proprietress watched them.

Elder Wei still said to the two companions: "After you are done, just hurry up and rest, don't stay up late!" ”

He went back to the next room, and just as he took off his coat, the proprietress came in and asked him, "Are you a foreign missionary?" ”

Elder Wei threw "Capital" on the table and said, "Sort of! ”

The proprietress scratched her head and said, "I heard that foreign monks don't taboo meat and don't need to abide by the rules and precepts?" ”
