Late XIX century, winter.

Mongolian border, rural.

Tian Xiaoting had nothing to do, and suddenly remembered a distant relative, who could be regarded as her aunt, and sent her letters several times to let her play, but there was nothing in the cottage in the past two days, so she went to her aunt's house alone.

Uncle is not at home, but my aunt is at home alone, to be honest, my aunt is still good to Tian Xiaoting. Although it is said, there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the coarse tea and light rice are also very fragrant.

Tian Xiaoting stayed at her aunt's house for a few days, and her aunt helped her tie her hair with a red head rope, took out the only silk in the box, and made her a dress. Although it is said that the capital of her aunt's family to do business outside was given to them by her and her brother Tian Yuping at the beginning, Tian Xiaoting is still very grateful in her heart!

On this day, my uncle came back, and when I got home, I went to the bedroom to open the box, and when I saw that the silk was gone, I went to my aunt angrily to settle the account.

"Who told you to bring her that red head rope, and who told you to take out the silk and make clothes for her? In these years, there is a shortage of soldiers, it would be good to give her a bite to eat, and you still make clothes for her?" Uncle said angrily. "Besides, what are you doing with her staying in our house these days, don't you have to spend money on food and drink?"

"You be quiet, you are a man, how can you say such a thing? You are embarrassed to say a red head rope, don't forget, the capital of your business is given by your brothers and sisters. You must stop saying such unconscionable words again, and tell her what to do?" My aunt reproached him and said, "If it weren't for the fact that our brothers and sisters usually help us to get by, I'm afraid we would have died of cold and starvation, and we can't be ungrateful." ”

Coincidentally, Tian Xiaoting was passing by their window at this time, and she heard what they said.

Tian Xiaoting returned to the room and took off the red head rope, took off the satin clothes, dropped ten taels of silver, left a note for her aunt and put it on the table, and left.

At this time, it was snowing heavily, Tian Xiaoting was shivering with cold, she couldn't take care of so much, she didn't look back, she just took her legs and left!

Tian Xiaoting was angry as she walked, thinking to herself what this uncle regarded as her.

Tian Xiaoting walked back along the road and walked to a deserted place, but when she turned around, she found that five or six people were following her.

Tian Xiaoting took a closer look, it was broken, and she met a bandit.

Usually she carries two guns on her, but this time she came to play, for fear of scaring her aunt, so she didn't bring it.

"Girl, stop, don't run!" I heard a bandit shouting from behind, telling Tian Xiaoting to stop.

There is no village in front of it, no shop in the back, and it is deserted. It can be said that every day should not be, and the earth is silent!

Tian Xiaoting was very anxious, speeding up her pace while thinking about countermeasures.

The bandits giggled and chased faster, "It's a beautiful girl, don't let go of the gun, catch it alive!" ”

At this moment, Tian Xiaoting bent down and picked up a stone.

"Attention, she has a stone in her hand!" A bandit found out.

"She can also hit stones, well, this girl is very interesting! I like it! Another bandit said.

Tian Xiaoting turned around and raised her hand, knocked the stone out, and hit the head of a bandit, who was so painful that he let out an "oops", covered his head with both hands, and squatted on the ground.

Tian Xiaoting picked up another stone casually, turned around and threw it out, and hit a bandit on the forehead, and immediately blood flowed down the corner of his forehead.

When the bandits saw that the situation was not good, they hurriedly took out their guns and fired a shot into the air!

"Stop!" A bandit got angry, probably a small head.

As soon as she heard that they had released the gun, Tian Xiaoting didn't dare to move anymore.

The bandit who fired the gun held a gun against Tian Xiaoting's waist and said, "Don't move!" If you move again, I'll kill you, hands up! ”

There was no way, Tian Xiaoting had to raise her hands above her head.

"Very good, as long as you obediently listen to us, we will not hurt you, but if you dare to resist, then don't blame us for being rude!" He warned Tian Xiaoting.

As he spoke, he moved his hands and feet to tear Tian Xiaoting's clothes, wanting to insult her.

"Help!" Tian Xiaoting was embarrassed and shouted.

"Stop, what are you going to do in broad daylight? Don't stop it yet! "It so happened that a horse came up on the road, and a man sat on the horse's back.

"Who are you? You are impatient, and you dare to take care of the affairs of the masters! The bandit with the gun said as he raised his gun and was about to hit someone.

After hearing only a "whoosh", the bandit's gun fell to the ground, and it hurt so much that it made an "oops".

It turned out that he hadn't had time to pull the trigger, and his wrist had already been hit by someone who didn't know what he was doing.

Another bandit had just pulled out his gun to shoot, but he was shot in the wrist and the gun was dropped. Suddenly, those bandits didn't dare to move, they were all stupid.

Tian Xiaoting didn't expect that the person in front of her would be so fast and accurate!

Tian Xiaoting took the opportunity to pick up the two guns from the ground, aimed them at the left legs of these bandits, and "snapped" a few shots, all of which were discounted, and all their guns were confiscated.

"Grandma spares her life, I won't dare next time." The men lay on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"If you dare to do something bad next time, I will encounter you again and smash your heads! Get lost! Tian Xiaoting said.

"Yes, yes, let's go!" The men supported each other, barely stood up, and limped away.

When the people who came saw Tian Xiaoting so ruthless, they were also shocked!

"Girl, are you alright?" The man jumped off the horse, came to Tian Xiaoting, and said, "You are ruthless enough!" ”

As he spoke, he took off his mink coat and put it on for Tian Xiaoting.

At that moment, Tian Xiaoting felt particularly warm.

"Girl, you've got a big deal in trouble! They're sure they're going to get you in trouble again. ”

"I'm not afraid of them! I don't ask my aunt and grandmother what I do. Tian Xiaoting said.

Then, seeing her kneeling down and kowtowing to the person who came, "Engong is above, thank you for your kindness, please accept my worship!" ”

"Girl, what are you doing here?" Zhang Tianhe hurriedly helped her up and said, "As long as you're fine, why are you here alone?" What do you do?"

Tian Xiaoting pondered for a moment, thinking, this is my life-saving benefactor, I can't deceive him, so, she said: "Engong, don't hide it, I am from Tianjiazhai, my brother's name is Tian Yuping, I am the owner of the big village, my name is Tian Xiaoting, I am the master of the second village, that is, the beard that the people say." ”

"It turned out to be the second owner of Tianjiazhai, disrespectful and disrespectful, no wonder his hands are so clean and neat!" The person who came gasped in his heart, it turned out that this girl was a bandit leader, but he still said calmly on the surface, "Don't call me anything gracious or unkind, it sounds awkward, my name is Zhang Tianhe!" ”

"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Tianhe!" Tian Xiaoting said.

"This one does."

"Brother Tianhe, what did you throw at them just now? Hit it so accurately! ”

"Xiao Zhang's flying knife!" Zhang Tianhe said.

"You can also shoot throwing knives? So powerful! ”

"Don't you throw stones accurately, everyone is each other."

"I'm far worse than you," Tian Xiaoting smiled and said, "Since I have a fate to meet Brother Tianhe here, then, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, what's the problem? You ask! ”

"May I ask Brother Tianhe, have you married a daughter-in-law?" Tian Xiaoting looked at him and asked a little shyly.

"Ah, this, this," Zhang Tianhe didn't expect her to ask this question suddenly, "Not yet." ”

"That's great!" Tian Xiaoting said, "Since you don't have a daughter-in-law, and I haven't married, we are all from the green forest, and there is no need to go around in circles with you, so I'll just talk straight, so what do you think of my little sister?"

"This, this," Zhang Tianhe thought to himself that this girl's face was really big enough, "You are naturally very good!" ”

"Brother Tianhe, then look, how about I be your daughter-in-law?"

"This, this." Zhang Tianhe's face flushed, he didn't expect her to be so direct.

"Don't do this mother-in-law, just say it's okay." Tian Xiaoting said, "I am a cheerful person, straight, and will not beat around the bush, but let me tell you, I am not unmarried, and I am not the kind of woman who is water-based Yanghua." ”

"I know this, I can see that the sister is sincere," Zhang Tianhe paused, "Let me go back and discuss this matter with my mother." ”

"Don't talk about Auntie's side, I'll ask you a question, do you agree?" Tian Xiaoting continued to ask.

"I, I," Zhang Tianhe couldn't help but stutter a little.

"What am I, do you agree or disagree?" Tian Xiaoting wanted to laugh when she saw his embarrassment.

"Sister, I think so, I want to marry Jin Lan with you first and become brother and sister," Zhang Tianhe said, "I don't know what you think?" ”

"Righteous knot Jinlan?" When Tian Xiaoting heard this, she said, "So, are you unwilling?" ”

"Girl, you can't say that, you see, the two of us just met, haven't we?"

"Well, in that case, I won't force you," Tian Xiaoting rolled her eyes and said, "Then we have to hold a ceremony and kowtow." ”

"Bye?" When Zhang Tianhe heard this, he said, "There are no barren mountains and mountains here, how can you worship them?" ”

"Isn't that easy? Haven't you heard people say that the soil is a furnace and the grass is incense? ”

"Well, in that case, let's do as you say."

In this way, the two kowtowed in the ice and snow and bowed to each other.

At this moment, another group of bandits came.

"Quick, get on the horse, you sit in front, I'll sit in the back to protect you, run!" Zhang Tianhe's movements were quite sharp, jumped on the horse, pulled Tian Xiaoting up, and ran away after hitting the horse.

Tian Xiaoting sat in front, he protected her in the back, and at that moment, Tian Xiaoting only felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

"Slap" "Slap" The bandits shot in the back, "Stop, stop!" Don't run! ”

They didn't pay any attention to it, didn't look back, and ran forward desperately.

"We are from Heiyun Village! If you have a kind, come to us in the cottage! Zhang Tianhe shouted loudly.

Tian Xiaoting understood that he was afraid that these bandits would find trouble in Tianjiazhai, and Heiyunzhai was not something that anyone dared to provoke.
