The three of them packed up, and the second master and I both carried the sword close to our bodies, and then carried a bag outside, the advantage of this is that it is convenient to draw the sword at a critical moment, and there is a backpack to press, even if we run, the sword will not sway back and forth on the back.

Looking around, there is a winding path halfway up the mountain, between the top of the mountain and the path is covered with waist-deep weeds, look at the direction, the three of them step into the grass, it is a very painful thing to walk in the grass, it should have rained on the mountain recently, the mountain wind is howling outside the grass, but the grass is hot and humid, one foot is full of mud, the mud is wrapped in grass, wet and slippery, the three people dare not distance too far from each other, in case someone slips and rolls down the cliff.

The most annoying is the mosquito, the mosquito can not get out of the grass, just around the legs and feet keep biting, to say that the mosquitoes in the grass are really powerful, through the pants can actually bite out of the bag, walked a few steps, I feel on the legs, ankles, as if ten thousand ants eat the bones as uncomfortable, the three of them all stop and scratch after walking a few steps, but through the pants, don't care at all, I just realized what is called scratching the boots, there is really no way, I can only use my hands to pat hard, I hope to relieve the itch with pain.

Seeing that it is not far away, but it can be stopped and stopped all the way, patting and beating enough to walk a meal, when stepping on the path, both hands have been swollen, the three of them quickly found a relatively dry place on the side of the road, sat down, like three horse monkeys, scratched up and down, left and right, this mosquito is not small, each pimple has a big thumb cover, and it is very itchy, if it weren't for Yuanmei, I really want to take off my pants, find a tree to rub well, the second master asked Yuanmei with a painful face: "Commander Li, do you have any anti-itching medicine in that bag?" ”

Yuan Mei also said with an uncomfortable face: "I really didn't expect the mosquitoes here to be so powerful, I knew it was like this, and I regret that I shouldn't have left the white flower oil alone." ”

"Whoever gives me a bottle of white flower oil now, even if it is a piece of ocean, I am willing," I said with a twist.

"I'm out three, ah, shhh The second master rolled up his trouser legs while pinching his teeth, and the pimples on his legs were one after another, dense, red and swollen, and he scratched out blood marks when he went up a few handfuls, even so, he still gritted his teeth and grabbed desperately, as if this leg was no longer his.

I can't care so much about it, and I rolled up my trouser legs, the situation is not much better than the second master, from the ankles to the thighs, both legs look slightly swollen, and I only scratched a few times, and I scratched out the blood marks, but the itch that scratched the heart and liver was not relieved at all.

Suddenly Yuanmei didn't move, coughed lightly, glanced at the two of us, and slowly put her hand on the mountain knife in her waist, we didn't say a word, stood up gently, and pulled out the sword from behind, the three of them looked at each other, nodded to each other, and Yuanmei shouted in the grass: "Come out!" ”

After waiting for a few seconds, there was no movement, the second master took a few steps forward and shouted at the grass: "Come out!" Otherwise, it will be ignited! ”

"Don't, don't, don't! Heroes, I'm just a merchant, a good man spares his life, a good man spares his life! As he spoke, a thin and shriveled old man came out of the grass, estimated to be Yuanmei's shoulders by looking at his height, skinny as wood, wearing a shabby hat, a fox-like little pointed face with black shiny, small beanie eyes, a collapsed nose, two dog oil beards, deep cheeks, and about fifty years old.

Dressed very ordinary, with patches on a coarse cloth shirt, a pair of coarse cloth bloomers underneath, and white socks and square-mouth cloth shoes.

The whole person went to that station, hunched over and slumped back, as if he had smoked Fushou paste for many years, but the eyes of the little beanie were dripping and turning, and he was extremely sleek at a glance.

He looked at the knife in our hands, and said with a flattering smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I just had a stomach upset, and it happened to be convenient in the grass, and I didn't deliberately eavesdrop on a few heroes, but I didn't pay attention to my ears, and I heard a few mosquito bites. ”

He said this to the second master, depending on the situation, he regarded us as bandits, and recognized the second master as our head, to say that the eyes of this person who went south and north were poisonous, and he could recognize who had been the bandit leader at a glance.

As soon as they heard that there was white flower oil, a golden light shot out of the eyes of the three of them at the same time, and the second master said: "If you don't say this good thing earlier, it's sharp, hurry up!" ”

The man agreed, returned to the grass, and picked out a pair of flat poles from it, on which there were two square bamboo baskets, and in front of the bamboo basket hung a small gong slightly larger than the plate.

He took out two bottles of coveted white flower oil from under one of the covered bamboo baskets, and the second master took advantage of me and Yuanmei's sword collection effort, without saying a word, he grabbed a bottle with a knife, sat on the ground, unscrewed the bottle cap, poured a small half bottle on one leg, and began to rub it non-stop, while rubbing, while humming comfortably.

I picked up the rest of him, and also fell on his lap, first a hot sting, and then a cool feeling from the outside to the inside, like hot water pouring snow into the skin, the itchy unbearable instantly swept away, I saw that the merchant still maintained a respectful look to stand aside, the second master seemed to forget him, closed his eyes, intoxicated alone, I can't help but feel a little too much, as the saying goes, eat people with short mouths, take people with short hands. He stood up, walked behind the second master, took out the "former enemy" cigarette from his bag, took out one and handed it to the merchant, he was stunned at first, then smiled slightly, took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, I took the opportunity to ask him: "What do you call the eldest brother?" ”

"Hey, I didn't have my father and mother in my early years, I grew up in the pile of flowers, and followed the beggar gang leader of the year surnamed Liu, and then carried the burden all the year round, around these mountains, people call us Liu Paoshan, and now that I'm old, people call me Liu Laoshan directly, and I became Liu Laosan, hehehe, I don't know which generation to talk about from his mother." ”。

It can be seen that this cigarette has made this Liu Laosan relax a lot, without the previous tension, leaning against a thick tree next to him, looking at us leisurely.

As soon as I heard this, I said that this was a good opportunity to find out the situation in Qiucheng, so I pretended to ask casually: "Brother Liu, where is this road ahead?" Is there a town? It's not early in the morning, so we have to find a place to stay, or we'll have to live in the wilderness at night. ”

Liu Laosan didn't raise his eyes and said: "In front of Qiucheng, a small place, there are still two clean restaurants, but you have to hurry, from here, it will take about two or three hours to arrive, this small city in the mountains, there are usually no passers-by, so the store closes early, and generally starts to come to the door as soon as it gets dark." ”

"Oh, how is this Autumn City? We're going to go there and find some mountain goods to do. ”

When Liu Laosan heard this, he sneered and said: "Don't make fun of the little old man, how can you do such a small business as collecting mountain goods?" The hero doesn't ask where he comes from, the little old man understands the rules of the rivers and lakes, in this way, you guys are resting, I still have to hurry, take a step first. ”

After saying that, he picked up the burden and turned around to leave, Yuan Mei suddenly: "Hi", Liu Laosan turned his head and looked at her with a serious expression, Yuan Mei pointed to the grass and said: "Two people come, one person goes, this is not appropriate, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, even Liu Laosan took me and the second master, they were all stunned, and then Liu Laosan smiled and said: "Awesome, you can't help it, I'm sorry, I'm so nervous that I forgot about my eldest nephew, Daliang, come out." ”

Before the words fell, with a sigh, a big man stood up from the grass, this person is probably a head taller than the second master, wider than two me, it is not too much to describe it with a big waist and a round waist.

This man shaved a big oily bald head, several scars on his forehead that were more than a finger wide were very eye-catching, one of which extended from his forehead to his eyebrows, garlic nose, the ground covered the sky, no chin, a pockmarked face, wearing a white sweat coat, black bloomers, a big red plate belt tied around his waist, a small leather bag hung on the plate belt, I don't know what to hold inside, and there was a blanket hanging on his left shoulder, it looked like he was in his twenties, and he looked like he was fierce and evil when he stood there.

This man stood there without saying a word, staring at us vigilantly, but looking at the blanket on his shoulder, I know why Liu Laosan didn't let him come out, and the blanket was filled with the money for the goods.

Liu Laosan shouted at the bald man: "Daliang, I've seen all the heroes, it's not early, let's go quickly." ”

The big beam urn sounded angrily: "Hmm", bent down and picked up a big black dog from the grass, and carried it to his right shoulder, this big black dog seemed to be dead, drooping his head, closing his eyes, and motionless.

Da Liang carried the dog and followed Liu Laosan and left, the second master sat and looked at their backs, and suddenly shouted: "Brother Li, don't be in a hurry to go, the money of white flowers, three oceans!" As he spoke, he really took out three pieces of ocean from his pocket, threw them up and down in his hand, and made a clanging sound.

Liu Laosan had the heart to say no, but this jingle sound was like a soul hook, he walked a few steps forward, suddenly stopped, turned around and walked back, and said as he walked: "Oh, I said that I am filial to all the heroes, how can I collect money, and there are only two bottles of white flower oil, how can it be worth so much?" Having said that, his two pairs of beanie eyes never left the glittering ocean in the second master's hands.

"Hey, we are people who do big business, how can we take advantage of you, and spread it out to make people laugh, just a few oceans, you have it." The second master said arrogantly.

I wondered how he had suddenly become so generous. I was still thinking about this and that in the tomb of Yelang, I was thinking about that, and I couldn't wait to detain anything that could shine on the dead man and sell it for money, what is this singing?

However, according to my understanding of the second master for so many years, there must be a reason why he is abnormal, is there something wrong with this Liu Laosan?

I stood silently not far behind the second master, making sure that I could see the back of the second master, in case he signaled to me.

Although Yuan Mei didn't stand up, she moved out gently, according to the position of the second master, once something happened after Liu Laosan passed, she could stand between Liu Laosan and Da Liang at any time, it turned out that she also saw that something was wrong.

Liu Laosan stared at the ocean and walked over with a flattering smile, but when there was still a certain distance from the second master, he suddenly stood up and said: "Since the good man insists on giving, the little old man is not easy to shirk, that refutes your face, but it is really too much, the little old man, I am ashamed of it, you see that this is okay, if you want to give, throw me one, little old man, I will continue here, so as not to disturb you in the past." ”

People say that the rivers and lakes have gone a lot and become old foxes, it turns out that I still don't believe it, this time I am completely convinced, no matter how hard this Liu Laosan is, just this experience in the rivers and lakes, the heart of guarding against people, is enough for me to learn for a lifetime.

The second master didn't expect that there would be such a hand, and the ocean thrown into the air didn't catch it, and it all fell to the ground, he quickly lowered his head to pick it up, and after picking it up, he stood up and said: "How can you throw money to people, you are scolding me for being unreasonable, okay, I'll send it to you, it's always okay, right?" You said that you, give a money, you are afraid of wolves and tigers, and you came out to run the rivers and lakes, really, why are you so small. ”

As he spoke, he walked towards Liu Laosan, I had the heart to follow, but as soon as he moved, the second master's right hand pretended to scratch his lower back, and made a palm downward motion, signaling me not to move, I had to continue to lean against the tree, take out a cigarette and light it, hide behind the smoke, and quietly observe Liu Laosan's every move.

Liu Laosan saw that the second master was coming, turned around and shouted Da Liang, Da Liang is too obedient, let him stand, let him go, no wonder Liu Laosan dared to hand over the blanket to him for safekeeping.

Liang heard him call him, put the dog on the ground gently, strode towards Liu Laosan, I noticed the feet of the beam, the foot is too big, roughly measured his shoes, estimated that the material of one of his shoes, enough for me to make two pairs of more than enough, I heard that there is a thing called the elephant is the largest animal in the world, it is said that the thing is bigger than Juxian Building, the legs are as thick as the beam, a foot can trample several people to death, but I feel that the feet of this beam are probably not much different from the elephant's.

At the same time that Liang stood behind Liu Laosan, the second master also came to Liu Laosan's face, I could see from the back of the second master, when he looked up at Liang, he also shook slightly, indeed, Daliang's figure like the reincarnation of the King of Tota, the fierce and vicious face, without moving his hand, he could scare the other party half to death at that station.

The second master took Liu Laosan's hand, flipped his wrist, turned it to the palm of his hand, and put the ocean into his hand one by one.

Liu Laosan collected the money, smiled at the second master with both hands and fists, leaned forward slightly and said: "Thank you, thank you for the big boss for your love, the big boss is doing great things at a glance, he is a happy and bold person, I am fortunate to see it today, the little old man is also the blessing of the three lives, but it's a pity that the sky is not early, otherwise the little old man will have to ask the big boss for advice, but it doesn't matter, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, and there will be a fate in the future. The little old man is going to be one step ahead, heroes, please! ”

As soon as Liu Laosan turned around, the second master suddenly shouted: "Wait! ”
