At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the eight kings fought for power, the dynasty was disordered, and Hu Yi rose up in all directions, chasing the Central Plains, resulting in the fall of Shenzhou. The Han people were in danger, and a large number of people crossed the river and moved eastward, and the residents of the vast Central Plains became scarce. In places where wars are frequent, there are even scenes of desolation that are thousands of miles uninhabited.

The Central Plains is fertile for thousands of miles, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is hundreds of times stronger than the desert in the north. For a time, the Hu people were all over the land of China, tents replaced the thatched villages, the chickens and dogs barked instead of cows and sheep, and the Han people who were nostalgic for their homeland and had never crossed to the south were scattered and declining, and they were gradually lonely.

However, it is said that the nomadic people are like fire, predatory nature, and the Chinese people who stay in the Central Plains are harassed, and the Han people regard themselves as well-dressed Chinese, calling the people in the remote places Dongyi, Nanban, Xirong, and Beidi, how can they show weakness, so there are conflicts between the Hu and Han people, and the resentment gradually deepens, and finally it becomes a trend of fire and water.

In order to prevent the invasion of the Hu people, the families who stayed behind all built forts according to the village, built high forts and deep walls, trained strong men, and strengthened their armaments in order to defend themselves. The peasants scattered around them joined one after another and became the subordinates and tenants of the village fort. They are also farmers and soldiers, plowing the fields, sowing seeds, hoeing grass, harvesting, drying and collecting, and in their leisure time, they practice martial arts, practice formations, and strengthen their prestige.

In the castle, the residents' houses are centered on the owners of the big clans, which are continuous, neatly arranged in the east, west, north and south, and all the items for food, clothing, and housing are all made by the castle, and the life can be said to be sufficient.

It is said that there is a Huangjiabao on the bank of the Yellow River in Hongnong County, where there is a Huang surnamed Wang, the patriarch Huang Tai, the word Huaiqian, is fifty years old. The Huang family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, but by the time Huang Tai's grandfather's generation began to decline, to Huang Tai's generation has been three generations of single inheritance, just because of the large number of houses and the large family, they still enjoy a high status among the clansmen.

When Huang Tai was young, he traveled to Beijing to learn from Beijing, and Guo Pu and others followed Huan Guzi to learn Yi, and obtained the essence, and then returned to the mountains and wilderness during the rebellion of the Eight Kings.

Although Hongnong is located in the hinterland of Zhongzhou, the Hu people are also increasing day by day, and the fertile and fertile fields are gradually turned into cattle and sheep pastures, and the crops and green seedlings are submerged in the weeds, which is already a desolate scene.

In the late spring of the fifth year of Jin Yonghe, Shi Hu, the king of Zhao, died of illness as soon as he became emperor, and his son killed each other for the throne, and the Zhao empire fell apart in an instant. Under the turbulent times, the relations between the Hu and Han ethnic groups have become more tense. Armed clashes between the castle and the nomadic tribes continued.

Although Huangjiabao is far away on the south bank of the Yellow River, rumors are gradually spreading: the Hu people in Shannan are coming to attack Huangjiabao. For a while, the people were confused. The Zha Lai tribe has more than 3,000 tents, nearly 10,000 soldiers who control the strings, the power is strong, once last year, captured several castles around the city, men, women and children are all killed, cattle and sheep and wealth are swept away, and the people of Huangjiabao talk about the color change, so that some people propose: in order to avoid trouble, the tribe should move south.

Huang Tai was silent on the surface, only his eldest son Huang Xian and a few strong men were around him, and he went to the fields to inspect the cultivation every day as usual, secretly sent people to investigate and arrest the people who spread rumors, tied them to the wooden stakes next to the Zhuang Ding training ground, summoned the villagers, announced the crime in public, and severely punished them with twenty whips to set an example. Soon, the rumors subsided, and Huangjiabao gradually returned to calm.

Although Huang Tai calmed down the rumors, the worry in his heart deepened: there is no wind and no waves, and I am afraid that the peaceful life as before will not last long. But he is well versed in easy reasoning, knows the truth of God bless people, and actively responds to possible changes: on the one hand, he sends people around to inquire about the current situation, and on the other hand, he urges his two sons to recruit and train Zhuang Ding and repair the city wall.

There is a huge lotus pond in the back garden of the Huang family, there is a road paved by the pool, it is the middle of summer, one side of the flower bed red flower cover path, one side of the pond weeping willows are still around, the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, the breeze is swaying, and the lotus fragrance will cover the whole courtyard.

There were two old men walking on the road, followed by a little scholar. The old man on the left is thin, with sparse eyebrows and bright eyes, dressed as a Confucian. The old man on the right has a big body, sword eyebrows and eyes, but he is dressed in a short dress.

The thin man is Huang Tai, the owner of Huangjiabao, and the other old man is his in-law Weng Dian Hengzi Yishan, who is the former head of Huangjiabao.

Huang Taiyu has two sons and a daughter, the eldest Huang Xianzi Huairen, the second Huang Yuan Zi Huaiyi, and the daughter Xiuniang. In the early years, when the Yellow Fort saw that the world was in turmoil, he asked someone to teach the children some gun and stick skills to defend themselves. At that time, Dian Heng was a tenant of the Huang family, and when he saw the notice, he recommended himself, claiming to be a descendant of Dian Wei, the former general of Emperor Wu of Wei, and he was skilled in bows and horses.

Dian Yishan has a hearty personality, has a good kung fu, the children progress quickly, the lord of Huangbao is very satisfied, and hired him as the head coach of Zhuang Ding, responsible for Zhuang Ding's drills. Although Dian Yishan has a vulgar appearance, he has raised two good girls who are like flowers and jade, one Ruojing and the other Ruolan. usually practices martial arts with the Huang family brothers and sisters, childhood sweethearts, and their feelings are deepening. The two old men saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts. When he reached the age of marriage, he arranged the marriage for the children, the eldest married Ruojing, and the second married Ruolan.

After the Huang brothers got married, Dian Heng gave the head of the head of the head of the sect to his eldest son-in-law Huang Xian, and he was also happy and clean, and in his spare time, he came to Huang Tai to drink a few glasses of wine and talk about the situation in the world. Huang Tai is five years old, although the two are literate and martial, static and moving, they can talk, and they are usually only commensurate with brothers, but they are even more cordial.

On this day, Dian Heng came to visit, and Huang Tai invited him to the back garden to enjoy the flowers. The two walked around the lotus pond for half a circle and never said a word. Huang Tai secretly thought: Today's Dian Heng is a little strange, he is quick to talk on weekdays, but today he seems to have taken dumb medicine, so he asked: "Brother Xian, you and I have known each other for many years, and now we are close relatives, and I only want to speak a few times and stop, is there something unspeakable?"

"Hey!" Dian Heng sighed before answering, and then expressed the doubts in his heart. The day before yesterday, Ruojing returned to her parents' house with tears on her face, and the old couple interrogated again and again before learning the inside story. Ruojing and Huang Xian have been in love since childhood, and after getting married, they are even more like drums and pianos, raising their eyebrows. Who knows that Huang Xian has often been unable to return recently, and his temperament has become increasingly irritable, and he has no warmth in the past.

"Brother Huang, I watched these children grow up, and I know their feelings very well, the boss's performance can't help but worry me, I'm afraid I'm ......" Speaking of the back, Dian Heng swallowed back the words again.

Huang Tai knew what Dian Heng meant. It turns out that although Huang Xian and Huang Yuan are siblings, their temperaments are very different, the eldest is anxious, he doesn't like to read, but he is obsessed with martial arts, and his brothers and sisters count his martial arts well. The second child likes to read, and he is strong and weak. At the beginning of the year, the world was in turmoil, and in order to strengthen the defense, Huangjiabao recruited hundreds of Zhuang Ding, and hired several sect leaders, all of whom were abnormal in appearance, including a Taoist priest. Dian Heng was afraid that there would be bandits mixed in and lead Huang Xian to the wrong path.

Huang Tai sighed: "Brother Xian, I have noticed this matter. There are also doubts in my heart. I have ordered Huang Yuan to secretly investigate this matter, and if there is any misconduct in recruiting new people, he should be dismissed. ”

As he spoke, there was a snap, and a dead branch fell from the old willow tree by the side of the road, and landed right in front of the two of them, and fell into several pieces, and a small bird on the tree was frightened and flew into the sky.

Huang Tai gasped, his expression was solemn, and he hurriedly ordered the scholar to call Huang Xian. Dian Heng was also taken aback, and secretly thought: "A dry branch falls for no reason, I'm afraid it is an ominous omen." Xun is wood, wood falls to the square, Ze has the wind in the Fu, Xun five numbers to two numbers, five numbers to get twelve when Jiachen, twelve divided by six left, the hexagram is: guinea fish Ji, Li Shi Dachuan. Lizhen. ”

It turned out that Dian Heng and Huang Tai had been friends for many years, deeply edified, and became more and more interested in easy learning, and began to learn the art of divination, but the kung fu was too shallow to feel it and get through, and he was puzzled, so he unconsciously read it out: "Fengze Zhongfu, guinea fish Ji, Li Shi Dachuan." Lee Jung ......"

Huang Tai knew that he was interpreting the hexagram and said: "Brother Xian, this must be a bad omen! The appearance of the dead branches and dead trees is unharmed, but the inside is rotten, and the image of the hexagram, two yang and one yin, is corresponding to the dead wood. You take wood as Xun, the hexagram is wrong, Xun is two yangs on the top and yin on the bottom, yin is like the root of a tree that goes deep into the ground, the root is yin and the dry yang, that is, the wood with roots and not rotten wood. Learning is the most important to integrate and use flexibly, not only to know the number of images but also to understand and understand, and if one of the two is missing, it will lead to occupation but not verification. Wood falls to the square, up and down to exchange, this hexagram is the fire Ze, two from three, five numbers when Jiachen, a total of ten numbers, to six more than four, the moving line is four, that is, the nine four of the hexagram, the mountain is damaged, the interaction hexagram is the kan for the separation, the gold is the body, and is overcome by the fire, and the hexagram name has the meaning of disability. When talking about Huang Xian, this hexagram appears, and I am afraid that it will have a bloody disaster. Dead trees fall to the ground, and tree birds fly in fright. The bird is also away from the elephant, flying in the exchange, the same as the previous hexagram, now it is two eyes to the handover, double damage is coming, the disaster may affect the entire Huangjiabao. ”

Dian Heng heard that Huang Tai finished interpreting the hexagram, and he became nervous, Huang Tai is called Sai Zhuge , an unpredictable prophet, and his words must be true, Dian Heng is convinced of this, he is worried about Huang Xian's safety, and he is afraid that Ruojing's happiness will not be relied on. In fact, Huang Tai is also worried.

Just when the two of them were extremely anxious, Huang Yuan hurried over with the scholar and said, "Dad, the eldest brother took dozens of Zhuang Ding to Danya Mountain early in the morning to hunt. ”

It turned out that Huangjiabao Zhuang Ding took five days and three training systems, today happened not to be a training day, Huang Xian was reprimanded by his father yesterday, and his heart was very depressed, so he summoned twenty or thirty people to Danya Mountain to hunt, and by the way, he relieved his boredom. Before leaving, he sent someone to invite the second brother, but Huang Yuan was studying in the study at that time, so he refused. Shi saw the scholar panting and looking for Huang Xian, and knew that something important must be there, so he came together.

Huang Tai did not explain the reason to Huang Yuan, and urgently ordered him to lead a hundred Zhuang Ding to chase Huang Xian, and instructed: "No matter what happens, you must call your eldest brother back as soon as possible, and you must not stay late." Huang Yuan took the order and left. The two returned to the chamber and waited.

Thirty miles to Huangjiabao in the south is the mountainous area, the peaks are towering and green, the miscellaneous are connected, there is a peak in it, it is particularly eye-catching, only to see the thousand rocks on the mountain, the stream at the bottom of the valley is rushing, the hillside is lush with trees, the birds and beasts in the forest are in groups. This mountain is Danya Mountain.

It turned out that Shi Hu, the emperor of the Zhao Empire, was very fond of hunting in his later years, and demarcated a large royal hunting ground on the south bank of the Yellow River, which stretched for thousands of miles from east to west. The Inspector also took the opportunity to seize and plunder in the village, and if he resisted, he was falsely accused of committing the crime of beasts, and many people died as a result. After Shi Hu's death, the world was in chaos, and the supervisors were often killed by the enemy. Gradually, the hunting grounds were no longer managed, and the common people were free to hunt. Danya Mountain is within the range of the royal hunting grounds, and the wild beasts are protected, and they naturally reproduce more abundantly, and they haunt the mountains and forests in groups.

Boom ...... Ha! hey!, a rapid gong sound mixed with the shouts of people at the foot of Danya Mountain shook the whole mountain forest, and a herd of elk grazing was frightened, and fled in a hurry, and was driven by hunters to the open area outside the mountain forest.

More than 20 people outside the mountains and forests are bending their bows, and the leader is Huang Xian. "Shoot!" Huang Xian gave an order, and everyone fired arrows together, and the elk fell to the ground with a wail.

But it was said that there was an elk that was extremely strong, and that it was rushing left and right in the encirclement, finding a gap and escaping, and galloping south.

Huang Xian chased after him, and everyone followed. Huang Xian immediately drew his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow to the back of the elk, but the deer did not fall to the ground, but still ran in pain, turned a hillside, and fell into the ditch. A fat-shaped soap-clad farmer rode forward and jumped off his horse to fetch the elk.

"Whew, don't move!" "Snort" suddenly heard a sound in the distance, and at the same time, a flying arrow hung in front of Zhuang Ding. The arrows penetrated deep into the earth, and only half of the shaft of the arrow was exposed on the ground, still trembling slightly, and the difference between Zhuang Ding's feet was not a millimeter.

The Zhuang Ding was so shocked that he took a few steps back, and he was at a loss for a while. Huang Xian was also shocked in his heart, both angry at the unreasonable and shocked by the cleverness of his shooting method, following the prestige, only to see a pair of people galloping on the inner side of the hillside, about sixty or seventy people, all braided to the left, carrying a bow and a crotch knife, the person at the head, wearing a green silk robe, described as a strong man, with a high nose and deep eyes, thick beard and white skin, it was a team of Hu soldiers.

Huang Xian knew that the Hu people were domineering, predatory, and incompatible with the Chinese, and thought: No matter who he is, if he bumps into me Huang Xian today, he must not let him take advantage. So, he stepped forward, called Zhuang Ding back, and reprimanded: "I am Huangjiabao Huang Xian, who is in front of me, dare to rob my prey!"

The man in the clothes looked at Huang Xian carefully, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, brocade clothes, holding a bow and a crotch knife, sitting down on the jujube red horse, neighing angrily, hanging an iron rod on the victory hook, and secretly boasting in his heart: The well-dressed Chinese are really extraordinary. But he didn't show weakness in his mouth, and replied loudly: "I am Helian Longjian, the third son of the chief of the Helian Yanyu tribe of Zalai, and this elk was shot by me with my own hands, how can I say that I robbed your prey?"

Huang Xian looked sideways, and saw that a feather arrow was inserted in the lower side of the deer's neck, which was the key point. It turned out that Helian Longjian had also brought people here to hunt, and when he saw an elk running on the hillside, he did not notice that he had been hit by an arrow in the back, nor did he see the men and horses chasing on the other side of the hillside, so he shot down with an arrow. Seeing a dispute, he was unwilling to give up his prey to others.

Huang Xian said angrily: "This deer is an ownerless thing, whoever catches it first will belong to whoever it is, it is clear that I have been shot, why do I want to take it again!"

Helian Longjian was aggressive: "It doesn't matter if you shoot in the back, I shoot the vital point, this deer should be me, I can't blame others, only blame you for your poor archery!"

Huang Xian was even more angry: "You dare to laugh at my lack of ejaculation!"

Helian Longjian sneered, but did not answer.

"Hmph" Huang Xian also sneered: "Then let's test the archery, if you win, this deer will naturally belong to you?"

Helian Longjian said: "Okay, I'll compare arrows with you" It turns out that this Hu people's ancestral residence in the grassland, born to be good at riding horses and archery, Huang Xian and him compare arrows, it is his strength, naturally not afraid.

Huang Xian said again: "What if you lose?"

Helian Longjian said: "This deer belongs to you." ”

Huang Xian said: "I don't want a deer." ”

Helian Longjian said, "What do you want?"

Huang Xian said: "If you lose, the deer will return to you, and you will have to take three punches from me." ”

Helian Longjian laughed three times and responded: "Okay, Lao Tzu depends on you, how do you say to compare the law?"

Huang Xian said: "A hundred steps away, make an arrow target, count twenty arrows, and the one with more bullseyes wins." ”

Helian Longjian's heart sank, and he secretly thought: If it is ten arrows and eight arrows, I will not lose, and these twenty arrows will have no chance of winning. Then I thought: If I shouldn't, I will let him underestimate me, and besides, this Huang Xian may not be all hit. So, he readily agreed.

It turned out that Huang Xian had been instructed by his father-in-law for many years and practiced a good martial arts, especially his arm strength was amazing, he could open a strong bow with 100 stones, and his archery skills were even more 100 shots.
