Chapter 45: Rescuing the Folk Girl

Everyone saw the officers and soldiers attacking, Qingfeng Guan saw that he could not be saved, and now the situation was critical, everyone shouted, raised their swords, and killed them from below towards the mountain.

The officers and soldiers on the mountain road deceived Qingfeng Guan and there were few people, no matter whether they were good or bad, they were ready to catch them all in one go, so that they could take them back to receive the reward. was attacking desperately, and never thought that a group of high rollers came behind him, all of them were masters, and they were killing up the mountain like chopping melons and vegetables. Now don't reward money, save your life, turn around and flee down the mountain.

The Taoist priests and bandits in Qingfeng Temple were originally defending desperately, but now they saw that the officers and soldiers under the mountain were in chaos, and knew that reinforcements were coming, so they mustered up their bravery, took the lead, and rushed down the mountain.

The men on both sides surrounded the officers and soldiers on the narrow mountain road, and they all started to kill the officers and soldiers so that they could not be defeated.

These officers and soldiers usually let him receive the reward, lest he be left behind, and now let him fight for his life, he only hates his father and mother for giving birth to a leg and running fast.

The official can't prohibit his subordinates from fleeing, not to mention that the opponent is fierce, and it is important for him to flee for his life. As soon as the officer fled, the other officers and soldiers saw that they fled faster, and some jumped directly off the cliff in pursuit of speed, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The officers and men who had been crowded with the mountain roads fled in an instant. The heroes on both sides converged together, and they were all glad that it would be too late again, and Qingfeng Guan was afraid that it would suffer a catastrophe.

At this time, Yang Shucheng remembered that Ni Chun was still at the bottom of the mountain, and hurriedly handed Song Chao into the hands of Shang Anbei, the "one-armed swordsman", and said, "I'll pick up my friend." ”

Yang Shucheng took Zhao Wen and hurriedly ran down the mountain road, running more than a mile, but he didn't see a few officers and soldiers chasing Ni Chun around. This Ni Chun's body is fat, and now his feet are also broken, he is unable to move, he is limping, spinning in the woods, and he has already been slashed several times in the leg by officers and soldiers, and blood is dripping straight down.

But this "fat monkey" Ni Chun's strength to win was particularly strong, and he only drilled in and out of the dense forest, causing these four or five officers and soldiers to catch up, so that he could save his life.

Yang Shucheng and the two saw it, shouted, and rushed over, the four or five officers and soldiers were dragged out of breath by the fat man, and now two masters suddenly came, and they had already turned around and fled.

That Ni Chun was saved, and a fart sat on the ground, like a hill, panting like a cow.

Yang Shucheng didn't urge him and let him rest. This Ni Chun rested for more than half an hour before he barely stood up. Yang Shucheng took him towards the Qingfeng View.

When he arrived at Qingfeng Temple, Shang Anbei followed and applied medicine to his leg, so that his wound did not continue to bleed.

Those bandits, fearing that the officers and soldiers would retaliate again, thanked you, turned around and fled. The Taoist priests in the Qingfeng Temple were also afraid that the officers and soldiers would come back to loot, so they all went down the mountain one after another and went to the Taoist temples elsewhere.

Yang Shucheng preached to Shang Anbei, the "iron mantis" Jiang Chang protected Song Chao, and came to the river temple on the edge of the Yellow River, and was killed by the master of Dongchang. and took out Jiang Chang's double dagger as evidence.

Shang Anbei said that his senior brother had a very deep heart, and he was chased and killed by the enemy, so he had to flee to the capital as a last resort, and he was entrusted to be a nursing home in General Song's house.

"Since he entrusted his loyal ministers to me after he died, I must not forget what I entrusted, raise him as an adult, teach him martial arts, and help him kill traitorous ministers in the future, which can be regarded as a good thing for the Ming Kingdom." Shang Anbei caressed the top of Song Chao's head lovingly, thinking about the tragic death of his senior brother, his heart was full of sorrow.

Shang Anbei and "Taihang Strange Hero" Yan Min have been friends for many years, Yan Min said: "It's not safe here, the officers and soldiers have suffered a loss this time, they will come to retaliate sooner or later, I see that you all go to the Wild Wolf Valley with me." I will slaughter sheep for you to eat. ”

Zhao Wen thought that the two Dongchang lieutenants had taken their lives because they had eaten a mutton, looked at Yang Shucheng, and stuck out their tongues.

Yang Shucheng has been wandering outside for more than two months, planning to return to Luoyang and report his family's safety.

Originally, Ni Chun was going to follow, but now that his leg was injured, it was not conducive to traveling far, so he had to follow Yan Min to the Wild Wolf Valley.

In this way, Yang Shucheng returned to Luoyang alone.

The two sides walked down the hill and broke up. Yang Shucheng took a big step and came to the southeast. Two days later, he returned to Luoyang City. Come to Uncle's house.

After staying at his uncle's house for two days, Yang Shucheng wanted to resign, saying that he had achieved swordsmanship and was going to Baiquan Village to find Tong Yuhui and avenge his father's murder.

Uncle didn't want his nephew to go into danger, but he thought that his nephew was also unfathomable, Niu Er on the street was nowhere to be seen, and other ruffians didn't dare to walk on this street anymore.

When the uncle thought of this, he nodded and agreed to his nephew's northward journey.

Yang Shucheng wrote a letter to his family to report his safety, asking his uncle to find someone to take home. Uncle is also full of promises.

The arrangements were made, and when he got up early the next day, Yang Shucheng put a simple package on his back, took a long sword, said goodbye to his uncle's family, went out of the north gate, and came to the north with a sigh of relief.

After crossing the Yellow River, along the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain, we walked north for two days.

At noon on this day, he was walking profusely sweating, there happened to be a mountain village, and he saw a flag of a rice shop, hanging high on the tree, Yang Shucheng approached the rice shop, ready to eat some food, and rest his feet by the way.

Walking into the restaurant, there were a few tables outside the house, it was time to eat, but there was no diner, Yang Shucheng shouted: "Shop, shop......"

It took a long time for a middle-aged man to come out of the house and say, "Don't do business, you can go." ”

Yang Shucheng saw that he was open but not doing business, a little strange, and then saw that his face was full of sadness, as if the tears had not dried.

Yang Shucheng was strange and asked, "Why don't you do business with the door open?" I'll eat a bowl of noodles and leave. ”

The man looked at Yang Shucheng with sad eyes, and said for a long time: "There is something at home, so I don't do business anymore." ”

Then I heard weeping in the house.

The middle-aged man then walked into the house. Yang Shucheng stayed outside the door.

Yang Shucheng knew that there was something going on at home, so he had to leave, walked more than a dozen steps, and met a person from the village on the way, who was enthusiastic and took the initiative to say: "I haven't eaten, something happened to him at home." ”

"What's the matter?" Yang Shucheng asked casually.

"Oh, what a sin. He has a daughter at home, who is like a flower branch, and was taken by the 'mountain monkey', and was snatched away this morning, where do you think he will have the heart to do business. ”

Yang Shucheng asked: "Who is the 'mountain monkey'?" Dare to rob the people's daughters, is there still a royal law? ”

"Now the world is in chaos, where is there any royal law. This 'mountain monkey' is not a local, I heard that it is a native of Lin County, he is very famous, it is he who killed the monks of Feiyu Temple, based on the temple, killing people and robbing money everywhere, not wanting to be driven out by the enemy, falling grass in Taihang Mountain, and coming out to rob people's property from time to time. ”

Yang Shucheng immediately thought that it was the wicked Shi Renjun, he almost killed Mr. Li Xing, who had a life-saving grace for him, and he was bumped into by me today, and he must eliminate the harm for the people. If I don't even dare to move him, how can I have the ability to avenge my father's murder?

Yang Shucheng made up his mind, so he asked the villager, "Where is this mountain monkey?" ”

The villager said, "On the hillside not far ahead, there is a ruined temple there, and he is in the temple, and he will be married tonight." ”

Yang Shucheng inquired and decided to act tonight, so he said to the man: "I'm very hungry, is there a place to sell food near here?" ”

"Whoever travels, where will he bring his home to walk. Just come to my house. The warmth of the people of this village is rare.

The people of this village were still enthusiastic, and took Yang Shucheng towards the village, walked to the village, and walked all the way to his house, where there were two or three crooked thatched houses, which were also poor homes.

When the villager came into the house, he hurriedly asked his wife to make a fire, boiled porridge, and fried leeks. Yang Shucheng was not too little, so he drank two bowls of porridge with leek tea. Before leaving, he gave the villagers a few pennies.

Yang Shucheng said goodbye, walked out of the village, and slowly walked westward, into the mountains. After walking three or four miles, I saw a ruined temple on the hillside, and the walls had collapsed.

Yang Shucheng quietly walked to the front of the temple, and from the gap in the wall, he could see that the Buddhist hall inside had fallen a lot, but it had also collapsed a lot, and it was a very large temple before, but now it is abandoned.

Yang Shucheng stood outside the temple and vaguely heard the sound of talking inside the temple.

Yang Shucheng thought that it was not false here, so he took a clear look at the situation in the temple, and then walked into a small forest outside the temple to rest and sit at night.

Yang Shucheng sat in the forest, cross-legged to carry the Taiqing Qi. Look at the red sun falling in the west, after a while, the sky will be dark, and soon a bright moon rises outside the forest, shining like a white snow in all directions. When I listened to it again, there was a shouting sound from the ruined temple over there.

Yang Shucheng finished his stop and walked towards the broken temple. Although the temple is deserted, there are many trees around, Yang Shucheng borrowed the tree barrier, and soon came to the temple, looking in from the broken wall, those stone people and handsome minions are gathered in the main hall, talking and laughing loudly, and a burst of wine and meat aroma came.

Yang Shucheng wanted to save people, so he came to the backyard quietly, and saw a house still neat, with an iron lock hanging on the door, and a minion sitting on the wooden bench at the door. I think Shi Renjun didn't let him go to drink and be lively, and let him guard the newcomer tonight in front of the door. The minion was sitting there, pouting, smelling wine, sulking alone.

Yang Shucheng quietly came to the back of the house, suddenly ran to the front of the man, stabbed with a sword, hit the ribs, the man did not move, Yang Shucheng repeated another sword, and his life was killed.

Yang Shucheng twisted the iron lock, pushed open the wooden door, and sure enough, there was a folk girl tied in the house, and at a glance, she was fourteen or fifteen years old.

Yang Shucheng stepped forward and broke the rope with his sword, and said to her, "You run away." ”

The peasant girl was a peasant girl, and she was nimble, free, and quickly ran out of the house. Yang Shucheng confessed in the back: "You run back from behind, hide in a relative's house and don't come out." ”

When the girl got this, she ran like a puff of smoke to the back of the temple and ran away from the broken wall.

Here, Yang Shucheng watched the girl run away, and he didn't run away, but slowly walked to the front hall.

Just walked a few steps, I saw a minion running from the front hall, saw Yang Shucheng walking slowly, and saw the accomplice who fell to the ground, and immediately understood the origin of this person, this minion was still calm, he did not step forward to kill, but also ran to the front quickly, shouting:

"Someone's coming......"

With this shout, in this silent mountain temple, like a wolf howling, a group of robbers immediately rushed out from the front hall, each with a bright murderous steel knife in his hand.
