Section 16 The night of the murder of the moon and the dark wind and the high wind
After Shen Mu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered how to gain a foothold in the West Mountain Road.
I haven't thought of a good way to solve the future livelihood of the cottage, but when I said this, I woke up myself, and suddenly, I felt that modern life has a terrible way to make money.
The crowd listened to his explanation. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Left and right, everyone is homeless and has no descendants, and no matter how much silver is on the body, it will have no effect. As long as there is wine and meat in the cottage, there is food and drink, which is also a good thing. What's more, Shen Mu also said that in this way, the money will only increase.
The thought of being able to post more money stopped people from talking about anything.
After a while, they all dispersed.
Duan Chao left Shen Mu and pulled him to sit beside him. Said: "Brother Shen, it's not that I'm a talker, how do I think that now you don't seem to be the old Brother Shen, tell us about it, but what kind of stimulation did you have?"
Shen Mu frowned and said, "Boss, we said it earlier, we're really fine." I just feel that I went wrong and wrong before, and we can change it by taking this opportunity. ”
Duan Chao said: "It's good to change, it's good to change." But don't blame the big brother for being too talkative, Brother Shen's approach is a bit of a fuss, I'm afraid that the brothers will be a little uneasy. ”
Shen Mu said: "The Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other. The ambition is different, and we can't be together. I'm for our stockade, not for people's selfish desires. If you even worry about this little thing, you can't continue to go further with the big boss. Shen Mu knew that the pioneers of the reform of the past dynasties would inevitably be criticized, but if there was no change, the country would not be a country, and the village would be even less powerful.
Duan Chao said: "This is the reason, fortunately, the brothers have been born and died together." Duan Chao paused and continued: "These trivial matters, Brother Shen can just look at them." Right now, I'm starting to worry about what we will do if Seven Star Village comes back in six days. Brother Shen said that he had made up his mind in his heart, but he never said it, and as a brother, I was always up and down in my heart. It's not strange for you to say it, originally I, Duan Chao, was not a person who was afraid of things, but how could I ...... today?"
Shen Mu said: "I understand what the big boss means, the main thing is that we have lost again and again now, and everyone's hearts are not low." This time it is in the face of a giant provocation like Qixingzhai, and there will naturally be some influence in my heart. However, the big boss is relieved. Although Shen is powerless, his brain is still dexterous. Now, let's take advantage of these two days, all the belongings in the village have been counted, and then find a secluded and safe place to hide. After waiting for six days, the enemy is defeated, and it is convenient to make the next plan. ”
Duan Chao knew that he was categorically inferior to Shen Mu in the matter of using his brain, since he said so, then it would be good to follow Shen Mu.
The next day, Shen Mu took Lao Luo down the mountain early in the morning. In the evening, he returned alone in a carriage. Duan Chao and the others asked Lao Luo's whereabouts, Shen Mu just smiled and said nothing, he was really anxious to ask, so he only said that he would know in the future, and if he said it now, he was afraid that it would be difficult to receive miraculous results.
In the next four days, Shen Mu led people to dig several big pits in the village, first the big pit was supported by the net rack, then the fallen leaves were patched, and the red soil was carefully covered, making the same appearance as the surrounding land, which looked like a trap for catching beasts, but the barbed bamboo sticks were inserted in the four walls of the pit.
Lu Laosan saw the strangeness and said, "Mr. Shen, you said that we have been busy for the past few days, digging so many big pits, what is the use." ”
Shen Mu said: "Well...... Catch the thief ......"
Hou Chengdao: "Hey, if you catch a thief, you don't need to dig a pit." Oh, I know, Mr. Shen wanted to dig a pit in advance, and then bury the thieves who came to the stockade alive, which would save a lot of effort at that time. ”
Ma Linzi said: "You don't understand, where is this to arrest people, if people step on a foot, most of them will retreat and open more, I have seen this trap in Beizhen, it is a trap." The horse was big and heavy, and if it really stepped on it, it had to be planted in it. It's just that if it is said to be a horse pit, it does not rub bamboo thorns around the pit wall. ”
Lu Laosan said: "Hey, guess what, just ask Mr. Shen to know." Right, Mr. Shen. ”
Shen Mu smiled: "Don't say, don't say." "Actually, this is indeed what Ma Linzi said, it is a trap in the horse pit, but Shen Mu is unwilling to disregard human life, so he inserts the bamboo thorns used for killing people around the pit wall to trap the enemy for a while. The reason why Shen Mu didn't say it. is worried that after saying this, Lu Laosan and others will definitely stick bamboo at the bottom of the pit, so that those who fall into the pit will either die or be injured.
After digging the hole, Shen Mu led people to prepare a lot of dry firewood and piled it up around the simple wooden fence of the village.
Then he wrote a few more words, asking people to place them on the side of the mountain road and at the gate of the village.
Duan Chao has not been easy these days, and Shen Mu has already led people to order all the silver taels, grain and grass. Wulong Mountain originally deposited a few thousand taels of silver, but most of it was later traded by Shen Mu to Juan. A few days ago, he built a village to buy grain, and the remaining silver was only five or six hundred taels.
This calculation can make Duan Chao anxious. Fortunately, Shen Mu made an inventory, otherwise he would still think that he was a rich man with a lot of money. Immediately, he led people to dig up rocks, dig out secret rooms, and made a precise gate, found a large treasure chest, put silver in it, locked it, and moved all the grain and treasure into it.
After doing this. Worried and scared. Fear that someone will think about this bit of silver, and fear that it will really be remembered, and it will be terrible. Duan Chao rolled up the bed, and actually slept in the cave for two nights.
It wasn't until Shen Mu called him a few times that he walked out of the stone cave where the treasure was hidden.
Shen Mu said: "Big boss, if you do this, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here?"
Duan Chao snorted coldly and said, "What three hundred taels, there are five hundred and eighty-six taels of silver and one hundred stones of grain." ”
Shen Muxin said: Hey, this Duan Chao is very arrogant on weekdays, and he has no heart and lungs. How did I hear that this is just a little bit of silver, but instead I have become a miser who picks at the rope.
Shen Mu said: "Yes, yes." The big boss remembers it clearly, and with the care of the big boss, this "treasure pavilion" will be foolproof. This was a joke. But when I listen to Duan Chao's ears, it is extremely pleasant.
Duan Chao said: "Brother Shen, you suddenly came to me, but what's the urgency? By the way, today is the first few days. ”
Shen Mu said: "That's why I'm here. Today is the seventh day, and if the people of Qixingzhai do what they say, it should be here today. I've got you ready, just waiting for you. ”
Duan Chao hurriedly ran out of the stone room, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned back. Seeing that the treasure chest had already been locked, I felt a little relieved. Immediately, he carefully locked the door, and brought in a lot of branches and weeds to block it, and then went with Shen Mu.
However, he said that Wang Jie did not return to Qixingzhai that day, but folded the grinding top of Qixingzhai. The name of the big boss of this grinding top was originally Chu Xiong, but later he felt that the word bear was indecent, so he changed to a hero's male. A year ago, under the persuasion of Wang Jie, the village was returned to Qixingzhai. Wang Jie asked Chu Xiong for a lot of silver, and the two actually worshiped their brothers.
Chu Xiong heard Wang Jie complain about the miserable situation of the year, so he thought about making a stand for his brother and looking for the bad luck of Wulong Mountain. So he couldn't help but say, so he took all the brothers in the village and went to the current broken village in Wulong Mountain to make a big fuss, earning enough face for Wang Jie.
Chu Xiong originally put empty words, he wanted to scare and scare the people of Wulong Mountain. Unexpectedly, this matter was known by Liang Dongcheng, the second leader of Qixingzhai. immediately scolded Wang Jie, accused him of not abiding by the rules of the village, doing his own business, and handed him over to Guo Liang, the fifth master of the housekeeping law.
Wang Jie couldn't stop screaming, and said something with oil and vinegar, saying that the people of Wulongshan don't give us face in Qixingzhai. Originally, he followed the instructions of the third master, Han Pu, and went to worship the mountain, just hoping that the group would come to serve tea and hand over the stickers, but he was unexpectedly scolded by the people of Wulong Mountain. Thinking that these people toasted and did not eat and drink, and insulted the reputation of Qixingzhai in public, he went to the nearby Moyuding to move troops to teach them a lesson.
After Liang Dongcheng heard this, he went to ask Han Pu again, and as Wang Jie said, he was instructed by Han Pu to go to Wulong Mountain to "say hello", so he spared Wang Jie's meal. But thinking that Mo Yuding finally released cruel words, although this matter was provoked by Wang Jie himself, but what kind of role is he in Qixingzhai and Dingzhou Mansion, if it is just a big talk that has been empty and spread out, wouldn't it make the other three Dazhai in Xishan Road catch the cynical joke. So he pointed out to Wang Jie that their seven-day appointment would be handled by themselves, and it would be done beautifully. Dignified Seven Star Village, how can you personally bully a small cottage with only eighteen people. Liang Dongcheng is naturally disdainful, and after the big boss knows, he will be even more disdainful. Wang Jie himself instructed the people who grinded the top, and they would end this matter.
Of course, Wang Jie was willing to serve, and he quickly went to the top of the grinding overnight, and discussed with Chu Xiong how to make the Wulong Mountain group of people exhausted, without losing the prestige of Qixingzhai.
Chu Xiong slapped the table, stood up, and said loudly: "What else do you want, let's cut the grass and eradicate the roots, as if there is no group of people from Wulong Mountain." This is called a small punishment and a great commandment, so as to set an example. When the time comes, everyone is dead, and the second master will not say anything. ”
Wang Jie thought that when he was in distress that day, he couldn't throw himself into the mountain, so he begged all the way to Xishan Road, ate tree bark, chewed wild vegetables, and often stole some sweet potato dry food from the farmhouse to wrap his stomach, and was chased by dogs. The hardships along the way are all caused by Duan Chao. Heaven is a good reincarnation, today he fell in Wulong Mountain, God told him to take revenge, why not!
The two immediately hit it off, and planned to give him a killing operation on the night of the appointed time, while the people of Wulong Mountain were asleep.
On the day of the appointment, Chu Xiong gathered his men and horses early in the morning, all the more than 50 men from the cottage, rode horses, swords, and went to Wulong Mountain.
Mo Yu Ding is only forty miles away from the foothold of Wulong Mountain, and he rides a fast horse and arrives in half an hour. Wang Jie was worried that he would go early, the people of Wulong Mountain had not yet fallen asleep, and it would be another fierce battle when the time came, and it would never be good to hurt his own brothers. Then on the town fifteen miles away from Wulong Mountain, a tavern was chartered, and the group ate and drank until the moon was dark and the wind was high, and then they continued to set off.
