"I'm just using an analogy." Chen Nian explained, while using his knife to cut down the thorny trees in front of him. Lu Xiao saw that she was struggling to cut, and muttered "useless" in a low voice, but pulled her behind him, stepped forward a few times to clear the way, turned around and pulled her up, and asked: "Then if there is a great traitor who is very good to you, what should you do?"

Chen Nian suddenly thought of Feng Junyang, and he didn't feel a little distracted. When they were together, they only felt that everything was good for him, and everything was within his calculations. Looking back now, although his words and deeds are not good or bad, they have nothing to do with the word "morality".

Lu Xiao looked at Chen Nian and didn't speak, and couldn't help but reach out and pestle her, "Speak." ”

Chen Nian thought for a while and replied softly: "I don't know, if he is really such a person, I will not be with him, but if I am asked to go to the righteous killing of relatives, I can't do it if I ask myself, and I can only go far away, out of sight and out of mind." ”

Lu Xiao paused and asked again: "Then if you are a good person to others and a bad person to you, how can you treat him?"

Chen Nian smiled unconsciously this time, and replied: "This is easy to do, and it depends on how he treats me, if he just rolls his eyes a few times to me, I will put up with him, if he still wants to come over and provoke me, I will beat him with a blue nose and swollen face." ”

Lu Xiao couldn't help but smile and said, "This method is good, I wrote it down." ”

The two of them talked and walked, and the mountain road did not feel how difficult it was to walk. Chen Nian took Lu Xiao around the mountains for a few days, and finally found a rudder in Qingfeng Village, but he didn't want to be empty, so he didn't see half a figure. Lu Xiao couldn't help but ask Chen Nian, "Are you looking for the wrong place?"

Chen Nian shook her head, if it was elsewhere, she might have found the wrong place, but here she had followed the people in the village, and she had stayed overnight, how could she be wrong, she asked Lu Xiao to stay in the same place, and she went around everywhere, and when she came back, she looked even more surprised, and said: "It seems that there have been a lot of people stationed here, there should be people from outside, how can no one be gone, what's going on,"

She didn't understand, Lu Xiao was puzzled, thought about it, and had to ask, "Do you know the location of other rudders?"

Chen Nian shook his head and said: "In the past, my father-in-law was very strict with me, and I was not allowed to run around, so I could sneak out to play when he was not in the village. If you want to find another rudder, you can only ask and look for it. ”

The two of them left here to look elsewhere, but the mountains were no better than the towns outside, and it was easy to meet a village, where they could ask for directions. Chen Nian and Lu Xiao spent several days in the North Taihang, and then they found a small dilapidated cottage, but it was not under the jurisdiction of Qingfeng Village.

The owner of the village is also an interesting person, he first saw Chen Nian and Lu Xiao, and he came to the door as a deal, he was so happy that he smiled, and he was thinking about making a vote, but he didn't want Chen Nian to open his mouth to speak fluent black language, not only peers, but also elites in his peers.

It stands to reason that since they are peers, they shouldn't do it anymore, but the owner of the village has been angry these days, and he moved on impulse. Who knew that the man's skills were very powerful, and he would have put down several of his brothers after dividing five by two, if it weren't for the girl on the side who told him not to kill anyone, I am afraid that everyone would have to accompany their lives on this transaction.

The owner of the village is both sighing and regretting, and it is really a bad thing that was delivered to the door. Since you can't beat it, then admit it, the owner of the village immediately jumped back a few steps, and simply hugged his fists with both hands to Lu Xiao and said: "This strong man, we don't know Taishan and collided with the two, let's apologize to you, and you will raise your noble hand to spare us this time." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiao looked at Chen Nian, waiting for her instructions. Chen Nian first asked Lu Xiao to release the mountain bandits to show his sincerity, and then said to the owner of the village: "It's easy to say if you want to release people, but I have to ask you a few words." ”

When the owner of the village saw that he didn't need to take money to ransom people, he was immediately surprised and delighted, and hurriedly agreed: "You ask, you ask, we will never hide what we know." ”

Chen Nian asked him about the rudder of Qingfeng Village, and the owner of the village listened to it and said strangely: "This girl, listening to your words, it should be our people in Taihang Mountain, how can we not know about Qingfeng Village,"

Chen Nian smiled and replied: "Don't hide it from the owner of the village, my ancestors were born in Qingfeng Village, but I went to Mobei a long time ago to make a living, and I came here to find a few old friends on the orders of my elders, so I learned some words on the road before leaving. ”

"I can't find it, I can't find it." The owner of the village sighed again and again, and immediately told Chen Nian how Qingfeng Village offended the Xue family of Jizhou and was surrounded and suppressed by the army of Qingdao and Hebei.

It turned out that day Qingfeng Village was broken by Xue Shengying's general Li Chong, most of the people in the village were killed and wounded, and the big boss Zhang Kuisu only escaped with more than 1,000 strong people in the village, and was chased by officers and soldiers all the way to North Taihang, which got rid of the chasing soldiers behind him. So far, only seven or eight hundred people have survived in Qingfeng Village, and Qingfeng Village still has a few rudders in North Taihang, and they have sent people to respond, and the rest of the villages have also seen the past feelings, and they have rushed to help Qingfeng Village.

The people of the Northern Taihang gathered in one place, thinking about how to join forces against the officers and soldiers in the future. But before anything could be discussed, the officers and soldiers attacked again. This time, it was the Qingji coalition army, and I heard that it was the Xue brothers who repaired again and joined forces to avenge their father.

The officers and soldiers were menacing this time, and the people and horses of each village did not dare to resist them, so they had to flee separately. Who knows that the officers and soldiers don't care whether you are a Qingfeng Village or not, they only encountered the mountain and flattened, and in just two months, they almost wiped out all the cottages in North Taihang.

"It's because of the small name of our village and the remoteness of the place, that it leaked out of the hands of the officers and soldiers." Speaking of the back, the owner of the village couldn't help but feel sad and sighed: "Alas, so many heroes have been folded in the hands of officers and soldiers, and it is unfair." ”

Chen Nian was speechless for a long time after listening to it, she had heard about it from Qiu San in the first half of the matter, but she only knew about it today in the second half. It turned out that Xue Shengying and Xue Shengxian had joined forces again, and it turned out that the surviving villagers of Qingfeng Village were chased and killed by officers and soldiers after fleeing to North Taihang. According to the time, these things should have been done by Xue Shengying after she occupied Qingzhou, she was in Qingzhou City at the time, right next to Feng Junyang, but she never heard him say a word.

He just said that Qingfeng Village had nothing to do with her, and that it was the consequence of Zhang Kuisu's incompetence. He also said that he would accompany her into the mountains in the future to find Ye Xiaoqi and Xiaoliu.

Chen Nian only felt that his heart was empty for a while, and his legs were weak and he didn't have half the strength, so he seemed to be a little unable to stand, so he had to sit down slowly with the mountain stone beside him. She wanted to ask the owner of the village, but she opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.

Lu Xiao glanced at her with some concern and asked, "Are you okay?"

Chen Nian shook his head with a wry smile, and it took a while before he could make a sound, and asked the owner of the village: "What happened to the people of Qingfeng Village, what news is there?"

The owner of the village saw that her face was not good, and only when she was worried about her old friend, he comforted her and said: "It's not dead, counting a few rudders, I heard that there are still a few hundred people left, Zhang Da is unwilling to cause trouble for the brothers of North Taihang, so he took people back to South Taihang, saying that he wanted to lead the officers and soldiers back, and it was a big deal to die with them." ”

Chen Nian sat silently for a while, and when he had some strength in his legs, he stood up and said a few kind words to the owner of the village and left.

After walking two steps, the owner of the village chased up from behind, looked at Chen Nian, and then looked at Lu Xiao, and said to the two of them with a look of love: "The two of you can deliberately fall into the grass, it is better to enter our village, don't look at our small mountain, but the brothers are good brothers who take care of each other, and they are blessed and enjoy the same hardships, that is, there is a steamed bun that has to be broken into several halves to eat." Besides, we don't pay attention to seniority, it's all based on personal ability, and we will listen to whoever has the ability. ”

Lu Xiao couldn't help but interject and asked: "Whoever has the ability to listen to it, then I have the most ability, then you all listen to me, even you, the owner of the village, also listen,"

The owner of the village nodded hurriedly and solemnly promised: "That's natural, if you two are willing to join us together, I will give you two of you." ”

Lu Xiao was about to speak, but Chen Nian next to him took over and said: "Domeng is in charge of the wrong love, but we still have something to do, so we can't stay here, so let's say goodbye first, and see you again in the future." ”

After she finished speaking, she politely bowed her hand to the owner of the village, pulled Lu Xiao and left, who knew that they had gone out far away, and the owner of the village was still a little unwilling, and asked in a loud voice: "Two strong men, you can't stay here, let's follow you." ”

Chen Nian didn't even look back, only pulled Lu Xiao and walked forward without stopping.

The owner of the village watched the figures of the two of them disappear on the mountain road, and couldn't help but sigh, and just as he was sighing, a big accomplice next to him stepped forward and asked in a rough voice: "Boss, what are we going to eat at night, the rice left in the rice bowl is not enough to even boil gruel." ”

When the owner of the village heard this, he immediately became angry, and angrily threw the big knife in his hand to the ground, shouting and scolding: "Eat, eat, eat, you group of foodies, a group of people can't beat one person, and you are embarrassed to say that you eat." ”

Several accomplices were scolded by him, and explained: "Isn't it that they are all hungry and have no strength, and they can fight after eating for a long time." ”

"That's it, that's it, we haven't eaten dry rice for a few times."

The owner of the village was stunned when he heard this, and the anger in his chest was suddenly discharged, so he simply threw himself on the ground and shouted, "I don't have rice and noodles for you to eat, so if you want to eat it, eat me." ”

The big man just now looked at the place where Chen Nian and them disappeared with some regret, and muttered: "Those two must have dry food on them, I would have known to ask them for a little." ”

When the owner of the village heard this, he was even more angry, stepped forward and kicked the man's buttocks, and scolded: "Damn, get out." Lao Tzu is a mountain bandit, not a beggar, if you want to beg for food, you can go by yourself. ”

Chen Nian and Lu Xiao have gone far away, and they can't hear the noise behind. Lu Xiao saw that Chen Nian was just walking with his head bored, guessing that she must have felt uncomfortable because he heard about Qingfeng Village, hesitated for a moment, took two steps forward and stopped in front of her, and asked, "What do you have plans?"
