Chapter 10: Eliminating Harm for the People
Murong Yucan's intuition told him that his father Murong Zhenling's departure from home was to rush to Huashan and run for the cheats, he rode a fast horse and ran all the way to check his father's itinerary, but he didn't find anything, and there was no trace of his father in the hinterland of Huashan, it really seemed to have disappeared.
Minna, Grandpa and Murong Yucan rushed to Huashan a day apart, and according to the distance, Minna and they should have arrived in Huashan first, because Minna was delayed in a small town called Fenglingdu.
Feng Lingdu, a small city that is not big or small, is located in the mountains and mountains, surrounded by mountains, in the middle of the formation of a piece of east and west long north and south and very narrow plain, a wind wind from both sides of the mountain peaks, the city can not blow, that is, named Feng Lingdu, the population of 2,000 people, because of the continuous mountains, so the people here used to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, every household in the mountains to grow mushrooms and ginseng, the unique location plus the soil fertile trees numerous, is a natural good condition for planting, the annual harvest is good, Every year, there are several batches of mushroom and ginseng merchants from all over the Central Plains, and the people in the small town live a good life, and the houses on both sides of the street are two-storey, one is used as shops and the other is inhabited.
But this was a long time ago, and now Fenglingdu seems to have declined, the doors and windows of the shops on both sides are closed, and the pedestrians on the street are too many to use three or three or two, and occasionally walk by one or two, and there are even fewer people doing business.
Minna and Grandpa already felt strange when they first stepped into this small town, the houses on both sides were so well built, so many shops were not doing business, there was no vitality, dead silence, and most importantly, they ran as fast as they saw as if they were avoiding them.
Minna looked very strange and said to her grandfather: "Grandpa, have you noticed it, it's a little strange here."
"I saw it," Grandpa said.
While the two were talking, a door next to them suddenly opened, and an old man poked his head out of it and shouted at Minna and Grandpa: "Two guest officers, hurry up, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time."
Minna was even more puzzled, with Minna's character, she must have made it clear, so she stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, why can't you stay here for a long time."
When the old man saw that Minna was coming, he was even more anxious as if he was very scared, "Let's go, let's go, for your good, let's go", and was about to close the door.
Minna stretched out her hand and said, "Uncle, don't be afraid, we are not bad people."
The old man said: "I know you are not bad people, otherwise I would not have talked to you, you better leave quickly."
"Why?" asked Minna, puzzled.
"Alas, come in, come in quickly" The old man couldn't help it, so he simply opened the door and let Minna and Grandpa in.
Minna and Grandpa entered the house, there were seven or eight people in the house, these people seemed to have a meeting here, the old man took two bamboo stools, Minna and Grandpa took the stool and sat down, the old man went to fetch two bowls of water, and after drinking the water, handed the bowl back to the old man, Minna said: "Uncle, what can you tell us, maybe we can help you."
"Hey" The old man completely opened the conversation box and said how prosperous and peaceful this place used to be.
"Five years ago, I don't know where a group of people came from, as soon as they entered the city, they began to kill and rob, and they still set up camp in the mountains when they were finished, and they had to come down three times a year, making the people here miserable and miserable," the old man choked and wiped his tears after speaking.
Another old man next to him also said with a crying voice: "My son was beaten to death by them when he resisted."
Another person also said, "My son is too."
"Damn, so bold in broad daylight, there is no royal law" Minna was furious.
"At the beginning, the government still went into the mountains to suppress it once, but the Black Panther Gang was really powerful, and the government suffered heavy casualties, so it simply didn't care."
"Uncle, don't be afraid, leave this matter to us."
"Ouch, how much ability can you have as a little girl, you better go quickly", the old man shook his head and said: "What kind of black panther gang, there are three leaders, all of them are strong in martial arts, and the big boss also raised a black panther, the black panther is fierce and bloodthirsty, and it is very terrifying."
"It's okay uncle, I must eradicate this Black Panther Gang, otherwise I'm sorry for my surname", Minna pulled up her grandfather and "go", and grandpa also said "go" neatly.
The old man looked at the grandfather and grandson in surprise in the back, and when he reacted, he waved his hand, and everyone picked up the guy and followed behind, and went out on the street, and the old man made another move, and some people came out from the interior of the house on both sides, some with rakes in their hands, and some with hoes in their hands, and followed Minna and Grandpa to the mountains.
Minna's name was obtained by her grandfather, and her surname is "Ming", which means to 'have the sun and moon in your heart and dare to be the first in the world'.
Entering the mountain, Minna and her grandfather walked one after the other, and after walking for two or three miles, they saw a village in front of them, and Minna ordered everyone to wait here.
Maybe these bandits are used to it, and they wouldn't have thought that there would be people so bold to come to the door, and there was no one patrolling, and even the little minions on the gatehouse of the stockade were guessing and fighting.
Until the two of them had come to the bottom of the gatehouse, there was a sharp-eyed person who saw someone coming, whistled and blew the little minions immediately stared at it for a long time, probably because they didn't expect someone to come, and they didn't expect it to be a beautiful girl, followed by a white-bearded old man.
"What a drop".
Minna didn't answer, she held her breath in her heart, held the fire, walked straight forward, walked to the door, and with a dark force of her right palm, the two doors fell immediately, and the minions rushed up with a burst of screams.
Minna picked up a branch on the ground, holding the branch in her hand as if writing a big "one" word, rushing from the left left (apostrophe) from the right (捺), rushing from the front (vertical), Minna in front of a bulldozer like a bulldozer, opening the way for the old man, the old man in the back with his hands behind his back leisurely, the back of the minions lying on the ground.
After a while, they arrived in front of the bandits' house, which had been entrenched here for five years, looted a lot of property, and built the house in great style.
There were three people coming out of it, it was the three leaders, the one in the middle, with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, and a huge black leopard lying at his feet.
"Who dare to come up here", shouted the big man in a loud voice.
But as soon as the words fell, the old man Ouyang Qin, raised his right hand and shot a stone to take the left eyebrow, and then his right foot kicked the ground, and a stone went straight to the right eyebrow, and the two of them didn't make a sound, and they fell to the ground almost at the same time, with a bloody hole in the center of the eyebrow and a whimper.
As soon as these three people came out, Minna and Grandpa saw that these people were not martial arts practitioners at all, but they were just a little more bold and ruthless than ordinary people.
The two fell down only in an instant, and the big boss in the middle had not yet reacted, but the black panther next to him bared his teeth and snorted, rushing towards Minna, Minna stood motionless, the panther rushed to Minna's feet and suddenly stopped, sniffed at Minna's feet, and circled around Minna, sniffed here and there, and suddenly rubbed on Minna's feet like a kitten, like a pug who had left his master for a long time and suddenly saw his master, the big boss seemed to not believe what he saw in front of him, His eyes were bulging and his mouth was open, and he was stunned.
Minna patted the panther on the head, and the panther stopped and lay meekly at Minna's feet, staring at its former owner with her teeth bared.
The old man Ouyang Qin turned his head and waved to the back, and the old man led the people to "rush" as if he had received the charge order, and rushed up with a rake and hoe, and the old man waved his hand to stop.
The big boss was paralyzed in fright, and he couldn't say anything.
Minna stared at her and said, "I ask you, where do you put the property you robbed."
The big boss pointed to the back, the old man waved his hand, the old man led the people into the back, moved out dozens of boxes, the old man waved his hand and motioned for everyone to carry things and go, and the people carried things down the mountain.
The old man still turned back step by step, not knowing what would happen next.
Hearing Minna's "up", there was a "whoop" and a "ah" scream, and the Black Panther Gang, which had been entrenched for five years, was eradicated.
Minna clapped her hands, said "go", took her grandfather's arm and walked down the mountain, the black panther also followed, Minna stopped and turned back to the black panther and said: "I can't take you with me, go back and forth from there, don't hurt people anymore or I won't spare you", the black panther seemed to understand, lay on the spot and looked at Minna's back for a while, and went towards the dense forest.
Minna and her grandfather came down the hill to the city and saw them from afar
Someone was beating gongs and drums at the corner of the street, the street was full of crowds on both sides, and when the two approached, the people on both sides knelt down in unison, "Thank you Woman, thank you Heroine Bodhisattva ......", Minna has never seen this kind of scene, and immediately hid behind the old man, Minna is really a Bodhisattva, she can't see this kind of scene, at this moment she only has a burst of warmth in her heart.
The old man stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists and saluted: "I don't know the names of the two honorable people."
"It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about it," the old man Ouyang Qin replied.
The old man bowed deeply and said, "The old man has thanked the people in the city on behalf of him", knelt down again after speaking, and kowtowed.
Kneeling and kowtowing, except for parents, that is something that only a bodhisattva can bear.
"Get up, get up, get up, folks, get up" Ouyang Qin said and helped the old man up, and the old man got up, and the villagers all got up.
"I wonder if you can tell me your name," the old man asked.
"Grandpa doesn't have to be polite, it's just a trivial matter, my name is Minna"
"The heart of the heroine and the bodhisattva, in the eyes of the heroine, is a gesture, this is to save thousands of people from fire and water, the old man thanked the people in the city on behalf of the people" After speaking, he bowed to Minna, bowed deeply, and the people on the left and right also bent down and bowed.
Minna really hadn't encountered this kind of scene, standing still and not knowing what to do, holding her grandfather Ouyang Qin's hand: "Grandpa, let's go, let's go."
"Okay, let's go"
"Wait", the old man said in the back, waving to a person next to him with three beautifully packaged boxes in his hands and handed them to the old man, the boxes contained mountain ginseng, three huge mountain ginseng.
"This is a little bit of the people's heart, please accept it, and the people also have comfort in their hearts," the old man said sincerely.
Ouyang Qin looked at the people, tears flashed with tears, took the thing, bowed to the people, and Minna also bowed.
"Farewell," Ouyang Qin raised his hand and saluted the old man.
"Take care, you are always welcome here"
The two turned and walked off into the distance.
