The matter is divided into two ends, and Shang Xuhu and Lu Siniang walked straight to the city gate with Xiao Qiji. When they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw the guards interrogating the people of the city one by one, and the inspection was very strict. Due to the government's arrest of Ding and conscription, the tyranny of the levy, and the people fled and fled, so the prefect's new order: strictly check the past traders, etc., and those who go out of the city gate must have customs clearance documents. Shang Xuhu was anxious in his heart, thinking about how to get by. Suddenly, he saw his old friend Ding Wu, and followed a caravan of horses and horses to prepare to go out of the city, so he stepped forward to talk, it turned out that Ding Wu had a distant relative, who was a cousin of the Lei prefect, and he was doing business in this Jeju Mansion according to the prefect. Ding Wu didn't make much of a living, so he worked under him.

Shang Xuhu listened, and had a plan in his heart, so he begged Ding Wu to take him out of the city, and said that his father-in-law died, and went to the funeral with his wife and children. Ding Wu was in a difficult situation earlier, and he had received some favors from Shang Xuhu, so he should accept it. So Ding Wu interceded with the principal, and Shang Xuhu served some broken silver, saying that it was annoying everyone, so he could scrape together some wine money. The principal also settled on a favor, so he agreed. This caravan has the face of the Governor of Lei, and it passes unhindered in Jeju City, and the soldiers do not inquire, and Shang Xuhu follows the caravan out of the city smoothly.

Farewell to Ding Wu, Shang Xuhu never stopped all the way, but the donkey cart was very slow, and he only traveled more than 30 miles by noon. Xiao Qiqi was hungry and thirsty, and cried noisily all the way. Lu Siniang called her senior brother to find a good man in a farmhouse and begged for some gruel to feed. It was easy to survive the noon, and it was almost dusk, and the children's noise was very helpful, so they had to find an inn to stay in, and then travel tomorrow. But it is said that at this crossroads, there is a small shop in the mountains, called: "Coming and Going Inn". The two brothers and sisters stayed.

Shang Xuhu saw that this inn was located in a remote area, there were few customers, and the shopkeeper and Xiao Er were all ghostly, not like a good person, and he was afraid that he had encountered a black shop. But at this time, the baby was in her arms, and she had to settle down and rest without fatigue, and the distance ahead was far away. Besides, the tiger is still proud of his martial arts, so why should a few thieves bother? So he chose a clean guest room, unloaded the donkey cart, and instructed Xiao Er to add some forage for the livestock. So he and Lu Siniang hugged Xiao Qijian and stayed, made dinner after a while, and asked the store for some mare's milk for Xiao Qijian to eat.

That night, he settled down and went to bed, and the two of them also rested early. Shang Xuhu was worried, so he lay down with his clothes and couldn't sleep steadily. At the third watch, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the door. When I took a closer look, the moon was near the window, and three figures were clinging to the window. I faintly heard someone ask: "I'm afraid it's not a rich family?" The other replied, "It's good to go out for a long journey," and then the figure flashed, but there was no sound. Shang Xuhu thought to himself: Could it be that he really met a villain. Don't make a noise, just wait and see what happens.

After the visitor walked away, Shang Xuhu quietly got up, opened the window and jumped on the roof, sneaked to the top of the shopkeeper's room, and peeked at the tiles. Seeing that the shopkeeper and the two shopkeepers were conspiring, the shopkeeper said: "Tonight, this family is a guest, I wanted to take some sweat medicine, but the man was clever and boiled water and cooked by himself, so he didn't get off the phone." If you steal his donkey first, he will not be able to do it tomorrow, and I will try to get him slowly!" Shang Xuhu understood, so he turned back to the house, woke up his sister, packed his bags, and prepared to leave tonight.

After the two of them cleaned up, they put ingots of silver on the bed, which was considered the house money. So he got down from the window with the little abandonment in his arms, got into the donkey cart, and prepared to leave. Suddenly, Xiao Qi cried, and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper heard the sound and rushed over to surround him. The shopkeeper shouted: "The store money is not settled, but where are you going?" Shang Xuhu replied: "The money of the store is in the bed in the house, and we need to go first if we have an urgent matter, and I am afraid of disturbing the store in the middle of the night, so I have not said goodbye!" Another shopkeeper said: "Don't lie to me, you must not leave tonight!" Leave the coils and the animals behind, or spare your life! ”

Shang Xuhu suppressed his anger and said coldly: "In this way, isn't this 'Coming and Going Inn' a black shop that seeks money and harms people's lives!" The shopkeeper laughed when he heard this, and said, "What is black and white in this world now? 'Coming and going inn' has no contact! There are many unjust souls who have died here, and I don't miss a few of you as companions! ”

Shang Xuhu was originally a person in the rivers and lakes, and how could he stand such a threat, so he pressed his sword and said: "A few thieves, what a big breath!" On this Huangquan Road, I'm afraid it's not for us to be our companions, but you are careful of your own life! The shopkeeper was also furious, and said, "I can't rely on me to find death", so he picked up the big knife and slashed at the door, Shang Xuhu flashed, the knife fell into the air, and the sword swirled in his hand, and fell on the front neck of the shopkeeper, and suddenly blood splashed, and the poor shopkeeper didn't have time to make the second move, so he died and whimpered! When the two shopkeepers saw this, they were so frightened that they dropped their blades and shouted "Someone is dead", and they ran away without seeing anyone.

Shang Xuhu didn't chase after the shopkeeper, abandoned the donkey cart, and hurriedly fled with Lu Siniang in the night with Xiao Qiai. I didn't dare to pause all the way, for fear that the shopkeeper would report to the official, and the yacha would catch up. By daybreak, he had walked fifteen or sixteen miles. Shang Xuhu said: "The road must not be walked, the official is fast and the horse can catch up in a short time, or turn to the trail, although the trail is rugged, but the horse is not easy to walk, and the official is difficult to catch." So he took the trail instead.

After walking along the path for two or three hours, I saw a thatched hut on the hillside, and wisps of cooking smoke were rising. Lu Siniang said: "After walking for a few hours, you might as well go to the hut to beg for saliva and drink, and rest your legs, even if the adults are not tired, the children can't stand this kind of fatigue." "Shang Xuhu thought that the path was difficult to walk, and the official would not catch up for a while and a half, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door, rested for a while, and inquired about the road ahead by the way.

However, it is said that there are two brothers living in this hut, and in order to avoid forced labor, they built two thatched huts in the deep mountains and lived by hunting. At this time, I was making breakfast, and I heard the sound of knocking on the door, thinking that this deep mountain beast is full of wild animals, and people are rare, but who is coming? Then he opened the door and took a look. Seeing that the two couples came to beg for water with a child, they let them enter the door and said: "On the road to the distance, who does not have a difficult time, the cold house is simple, only some coarse tea and light rice, add a pair of chopsticks, so I can make do with a full stomach!" ”。

Shang Xuhu saw that the two were simple and sincere, so he said: "Thank you brother for your kindness, the adults don't care, but the child is young, and I beg for some porridge and rice soup, I have some spare silver, and I should thank the two brothers!" After that, they offered silver taels, and the two insisted on not accepting it, but persuaded Shang Xuhu and Lu Siniang to eat. I couldn't excuse myself, so I ate some food and fed the child soup. Shang Xuhu asked, "Where is the way forward?" What is the itinerary? The hunter replied: "There is a Yangshan County sixty miles away, but the distance is difficult to walk, there is a tiger head mountain in the middle, and there is a gang of gangsters in the residence, often blocking the road and robbing, but it is impossible to go, you and other strangers do not know what it is, and you have lost your life in vain." I advise you to return the same way and take the road to stability! ”

Shang Xuhu thought about how this was good, he couldn't go back and forth, and he could only break through, so he said: "I can't afford to delay the journey." We just need to be cautious, and we may not meet bad people. Orion repeatedly dissuaded him, but Shang Xuhu just didn't listen. So he quit Orion, hurriedly got on the road, and hurried to Nashanyang County.

After walking for another twenty or thirty miles, there were no bandits and gangsters, but the mountains were deep and dense, and the birds were crying and the apes were crying, which was very terrifying. When I arrived at a quiet place, overgrown with thorns and no way around, Shang Xuhu said: "Mo is taking the wrong path, you two are here for a while, I will go to explore the way", Lu Siniang replied: "That's fine, you go and go back quickly, and we will also take this convenience to rest!" Shang Suhu then jumped over the thorns and looked all the way.

Shang Xuhu walked forward half a mile away, the trees were high and low, and there was no road, so he walked to the high place, hoping to see if there was anyone, and to inquire about the distance. As soon as I arrived at the mountainside, I heard my sister calling for help and hurried down. I saw that where Fang Cai was, the grass and trees were broken, and there were traces of fighting, but there was no trace of the junior sister and the little abandoned disease. He followed the footsteps and chased forward. About two or three miles of road, I saw a cottage, the left is against the cliff, and the abyss is approached, there is a high mountain ravine behind the block, only the south side is empty, a high fence is erected with a solid wood, and it is connected with an iron cable. There is a wooden and stone watchtower in the stand, about two zhang high, there is a door left at the bottom, there is a minion to protect. There is a banner erected on the watchtower, and it is written: "Hero Village" three big characters.

Shang Xuhu secretly calculated, it seems that Orion's words are true, it must be this gang of gangsters who kidnapped his junior sister. Worried about the safety of his sister and Xiao Qi, he couldn't take care of it, so he stepped forward with his sword and shouted loudly towards the cottage: "The hero of the hero village, Shang passed by the treasure land, unfortunately lost his wife and children, and bothered the heroes, I want to ask if you have ever seen a small family?" ”

When those minions saw a reckless man, they all laughed and replied: "Your lady is safe and well, and she is enjoying happiness in this heroic village!" If you want to redeem your family, go back and get a hundred taels of silver. Otherwise, I will enter the cave house of the owner of my village tonight, and it is better to be a lady of the village than to suffer a reckless man with you. ”

Shang Xuhu had so much money, and the situation was entangled in the junior sister, and it was robbed together. He was penniless, leaving only a long sword to protect himself. Seeing that the thief was unreasonable, he just raised his sword to kill the general, and the arrow on the watchtower paused, and he had to retreat. Want to know who is in charge of this hero village? So what is the difficulty of Lu Siniang? Can the small abandonment disease be safe? How can the Tiger save people? Let's take it slowly!
