Unsheathed Sword Chapter 47: There is a chick phoenix among the colorful clouds
When Xu Huaigu heard her words, he couldn't help laughing. He felt that this girl was delicate and innocent, and did not look like a bad person, so he relaxed his vigilance and asked her, "Listen to you, you are very familiar with this mountain, do you often come here?" ”
The girl turned her head to look at Xu Huaigu, raised her pointed chin, and nodded with a proud smile.
Then she walked to the edge of the cliff, sat down next to the vertical cliff wall dozens of feet high, stretched out her two little feet to the outside of the cliff, and gently swayed along the wind.
Xu Huaigu looked at this scene but was a little frightened, for fear that the girl would accidentally fall. He kindly reminded: "You walk in, the edge of the cliff is too dangerous!" ”
The girl ignored his concern and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, this mountain won't hurt me." ”
Xu Huaigu showed a strange expression and looked at the girl suspiciously.
The girl still has a cheerful expression like a fawn, as if nothing in the world can make her lose. She looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance on the edge of the cliff, dangling her two little feet, and she was very happy to play alone.
Xu Huaigu saw that she refused to leave on the edge of the cliff, so he also walked over and sat beside her.
He looked down at the towering cliff face, and saw all kinds of terrible rocks, and there were clouds and mist between the cliffs, and the distance from the bottom of the cliff was very high, which made people feel afraid.
This scene is indeed dangerous. He only glanced at it, and he felt dizzy, and his body was a little uncontrollable and wanted to fall.
A hand immediately grabbed the back of Xu Huaigu's hand and pinched it fiercely. This action knocked him awake from his vertigo, so that he did not fall.
The girl pulled her hand away, and blamed angrily: "If you don't have the courage to sit on it, don't sit on it, what if you fall?" ”
Xu Huaigu's face was nervous, and he nodded hurriedly, still a little afraid in his heart. But in fact, after taking a look at the bottom of the cliff, the cliff towering into the clouds is not so terrifying.
He still sat with Feng'er.
The morning sun rises and turns the sky golden. The clouds are rolling in the sky, and the waves are rolling.
A flock of unknown white long-feathered birds flew through the sea of clouds from afar, in front of their eyes, and then flew away in the golden morning glow.
Seeing this beautiful scene, Xu Huaigu forgot that he was on the cliff, and only admired the beauty of the world in his heart. He remembered that the girl next to him was also an extremely beautiful beauty, and with this beautiful scenery, it was even better, and the loneliness and confusion of last night were gone.
The girl seemed to be a little tired of looking at Yunhai, so she took the initiative to ask, "I've never seen you before, and I don't know your name yet." ”
Xu Huaigu straightened his clothes, showed a soft smile, and replied: "My name is Xu Huaigu, I came from the south, traveled all the way to the north, and rested here last night. ”
The girl nodded, and also introduced: "My name is Feng'er, and I grew up in this mountain, so I like it here very much, and I also regard Dashan as my friend." ”
When Xu Huaigu heard the name "Feng'er", he looked at her a few more times in surprise, and thought to himself: "It turns out that this is what they call Feng'er, she looks so beautiful, no wonder she is remembered by the group of thieves in Hulu Mountain." ”
But of course he wouldn't say that.
He made a sudden realization, and said sideways: "It turns out that you are Feng'er, I have heard of you in the mouths of the people on this mountain, and they all like you very much." ”
When the girl heard this, she smiled sweetly again, and replied with crooked eyebrows: "Yes, I like them too." I grew up with them, and they've always been nice to me. ”
When Xu Huaigu heard this, he could almost guess the ins and outs of this matter.
Feng'er should be the child of this group of bandits on Fengtou Mountain, and she grew up with them on this mountain. But because Feng'er was too beautiful, the people of Hulu Mountain were worried about her and wanted to take her away on the grounds of owing money, so Wang Daya took Xu Huaigu up the mountain to do a deal.
In fact, he guessed eight or nine and ten. It's just that Feng'er is not the child of the bandits, but they picked it up in the mountains.
Xu Huaigu was not interested in the bandits on the mountain, but he had a good impression of this girl. The girl's eyebrows are delicate and cute, and the innocence on her body is also very infectious, sweeping away Xu Huaigu's negative emotions last night.
Xu Huaigu remembered that the girl's name was Feng'er, and it just so happened that this mountain was also called Fengtou Mountain, so there might be some connection between the two. He asked curiously, "Your name is Feng'er, is it because this mountain is called Fengtou Mountain?" ”
The girl burst out laughing when she heard this.
She smiled slyly like a fox, and said in a delicate voice, but with a bit of mystery: "No, it's because my name is Feng'er, that's why this mountain is called Fengtou Mountain." ”
……
In the cottage of the crested mountain bandits.
Wang Daya was anxiously looking at the people in Hulu Mountain in front of her. This time, the people who came to Hulushan to collect debts were their three masters, a feminine half-old man with thin cheeks, dry and pale skin, and two long beards.
This person's name is Hu Ye, and he is a military advisor on Hulu Mountain. To say that he is a military advisor is actually boasting. Where do the bandits need any military advisors, they do some lowly deeds of killing people and goods on weekdays, and they are not marching to fight.
Hu Ye's usual job is to help manage the daily affairs of Hulu Mountain, and to maintain a good relationship with the government, so as not to be copied by the official army.
This military advisor was just sealed by himself, which sounds domineering, but in fact, he has no real skills in his stomach. He relied on his ability to slap horses, plus he could write, and he sat in the position of the third master step by step.
However, even if it is only the third master of Hulu Mountain, Wang Daya does not dare to be disrespectful.
Hulu Mountain has developed extremely rapidly in recent years, annexing several small hills nearby, and now there are more than 100 young people in the cottage alone, and the power is very great.
And Crested Mountain has always been a very conservative mountain, with a total of about twenty or thirty people, and it is not Hulushan's opponent at all. If Fengtou Mountain can't handle this matter well this time, Hulushan can take the opportunity to find this excuse to annex them too.
Wang Daya was very annoyed. In the past few days, the people of Hulushan have to go up the mountain every day to collect debts, and the people who come are more and more statused every time. This time it's the third master, and next time maybe it's the second master, and the big boss is coming.
Wang Daya has heard of the big boss of Hulu Mountain, named Fan Jiang, a man with five big and three thick, who is as strong as a bear.
He still seems to be a cultivator, making a pair of Xuanhua big plate axes, relying on martial arts to run rampant in this mountain range, and the people who die under his hands can form a village.
Wang Daya has always been afraid of Fan Jiang, and she didn't dare to snub this half-old man.
He bent down and lowered his head to hand Hu Ye a small cup of tea, and also stuffed a small piece of silver with him, smiled in a low voice, and said, "Hu Dangjia, please accept these little things." To tell you the truth, we have already raised three hundred taels of silver, and we are sending someone out to get it, and we will be back in two or three days. ”
Hu Ye glared at him and didn't go to pick up the money. Then he seemed to be smiling again, stroked his slender white beard, and said, "The king is in charge, what do you think I am a fool?" Two days ago, you couldn't even take out a hundred taels of silver, how long did it take to raise three hundred taels of silver? It's not that I said, you perfunctory our Hulu Mountain like this, it's hard for me to explain when I go back. When the time comes, we will be angry, and you will only suffer. ”
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Wang Daya was also anxious, patted his chest and promised: "Hu Dangjia, I, Wang Daya, guarantee with my own life, it is definitely not perfunctory to you, but we really found the silver." After three days, I will definitely return the money to you, or else...... I will apologize with death! ”
Hu Ye looked at him in surprise. I thought that he dared to apologize for his sins with death, if he hadn't really found a way?
Fan Jiang, the big boss, didn't care about the silver, but he was always thinking about the beautiful girl named Feng'er, so he came up with this plan to take Feng'er away.
Of course, Hu Ye wants to perform well in front of Fan Jiang, maybe Fan Jiang is happy, and he can achieve the position of the second leader. After all, on Hulu Mountain, the words of Tianwang Laozi are not as effective as Fan Jiang.
Hu Ye waved his hand resolutely, pretending to be painstakingly persuasive, and said: "Wang is in charge, it's not that I am unwilling to be accommodating, but I also have hardships." To tell you the truth, our big boss has taken a fancy to Feng'er on your mountain and wants to take her to the mountain to live a good life. As long as you are willing, not only can the three hundred taels of silver be used as bride price, but our big boss is also willing to shelter Fengtou Mountain for ten years. Within ten years, even if the government sends troops to encircle and suppress you, we in Hulushan are willing to protect you. How, this condition is sincere enough, right? ”
When Wang Daya heard this, she was completely panicked.
Their target is really Feng'er, so it will be too troublesome. If you don't satisfy them, you won't have a good life in the future.
Wang Daya's eyes turned red and said, "But ...... But...... Feng'er, she is only twelve years old, how can Fan Da take a fancy to her? ”
Hu Ye saw that Wang Daya insisted on refusing to let go, his face was also gloomy, and he turned his face and said, "Don't let me talk any more nonsense." The meaning of our big boss is already very clear, you either release people, or we will kill people and rob them. As for killing the mountain, how many people you will die, but it is all between the words of our big boss, you should weigh it yourself. ”
Wang Daya was heartbroken, and he actually shed tears at a lot of age.
After Hu Ye finished saying this, he didn't care about Wang Daya's reaction, and left angrily.
For a long time, it was almost dark, and Wang Daya was still looking at the ground from the seat.
In front of his eyes, he picked up Feng'er on the mountain that winter and Feng'er played happily on the mountain. said that they raised Feng'er, but it was also her liveliness that gave them the motivation to live in this lifeless cottage.
He really loves Feng'er, but the lives of so many people on the mountain are pressing on his shoulders at this moment, and people are breathless.
How do you decide?
Wang Daya didn't know.
