In March, the warbler flies and the grass grows.

The goddess of spring has brought mountain flowers all over the mountains to Yunwu Mountain, and has also dedicated the crystallization of nature to people - the plum trees everywhere on the slopes of the mountain are full of green plums, and the fruits have bent the branches.

The villagers were overjoyed, and each family, carrying baskets, went to the mountain plum forest to pick fruits.

Zhang Shaofei and Liang Yaofu of Liang Tianzhai were picking green plums in the plum forest on the mountainside, discussing this year's good harvest. Suddenly, Zhang Shaofei's eyes looked through the tree and saw two warriors coming from the mountain road in the distance: one was a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a head like a bucket, a face as big as a basin, and a murderous aura. The other is sturdy and resembles a large winter melon. They were all dressed in gray and black clothes, with coarse cloth belts around their waists, black trousers that bound their feet, and flat cloth shoes under their feet. A tall man walking in front, holding a bright and sharp axe. The dwarf boy who followed behind was armed with a large shiny knife.

Ah, I finally recognized it, because the nicknames of the two samurai were too well-known in the imperial court: the tall man with a sharp axe in front was called "Sha Danju", and the short boy with a knife in the back was nicknamed "Blind Tou Han"! Seeing the two of them coming with weapons in their hands, Zhang Shaofei couldn't help but gasp.

Zhang Shaofei, who was the assassin of Zhongzhou, went to the court, and everyone occasionally met in the corridor or aisle.

The reason why Zhang Shaofei was impressed by them was because "Sha Danju" was famous in the imperial court. He once defeated nine of his companions in a row in the martial arts competition of the imperial court, and finally lost to Hui Ming, who had been a general of the imperial court, and was relegated to the second place. Because of his common name Sha Daju, and the nickname given to him by other samurai in the court, not many people would call him by his real name to his face. Sha Danju is bold on weekdays, once served as the president of Zhenjiang in Zhejiang, attacked the city and the village, took the lead, the board axe wielded, touched it to die, met it and died. Sha Danju should have made great achievements, but his colleagues were jealous and framed him as a collaborator, but fortunately, Guan Zhenjiang, a fellow villager who was still a scholar at the time, stepped forward to deal with him, and he was saved from prison. After this incident, Sha Daju was loyal to his fellow countryman Guan Zhenjiang. The dwarf boy with a big sword in his hand was also a warrior of the imperial court - Meng Houang. He was originally a stoneworker in northern Shaanxi, extremely powerful, simple-minded, daring to fight and kill but brave and unscrupulous, and his companions assigned him to do any dangerous heavy work, and he did it correctly. Because his surname "Meng" has a similar pronunciation to "blind", and his name "ang" and "han" are also similar, people have given him the nickname "blind head Han".

Liang Yaofu saw Zhang Shaofei looking on tiptoe, followed his gaze, and saw two warriors with weapons in the distance, looking around with thieves, searching for something, and asked Zhang Shaofei: "The warriors were supposed to practice martial arts in the martial arts hall, and they came to our Yunwu Mountain with swords and axes, what do they want to do?" ”

Zhang Shaofei has been with Liang Yaofu for a long time in Yunwu Mountain, and knows that although he is a gambler by nature, he is still a kind person, and he has no intention of harming others, so he said bluntly: "They are warriors from the imperial court, and they came from the imperial court this time to hunt me down." ”

Zhang Shaofei's words surprised Liang Yaofu, and he asked puzzledly: "Ah, you are kind and helpful to people everywhere, how can such a good person have a grudge against them?" ”

Zhang Shaofei sighed and said, "The ins and outs of this matter are as long as a whole piece of cloth, and I will tell you in detail when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Liang Yaofu: "Once you fall into their hands, you will definitely die." Hurry up and run to the back mountain and hide. ”

Zhang Shaofei waved his hand: "No, just hiding is not the final solution." ”

Liang Yaofu felt in a dilemma: "If you want to fight, you say you don't fight; If you want to hide, you say you don't hide. Now that you're burning your eyebrows, you'll have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds! ”

After Zhang Shaofei fixed his eyes, he said confidently: "There is a way, this matter cannot be defeated, it can only be outwitted." ”

Liang Yaofu asked puzzledly: "Outwitted?" How to outwit? ”

"Listen to me." Zhang Shaofei leaned over and whispered to Liang Yaofu about his plan.

Liang Yaofu's face was surprised at first, then turned flat, and finally nodded with a smile: "Good, good, good!" Just do as you say! ”

Zhang Shaofei dodged behind a plum tree with a thick trunk, secretly watched the progress of the situation, and acted at the opportunity.

Liang Yaofu carried a bamboo basket full of green plums out of the plum forest, crossed the stream, walked on the mountain path, and sang mountain songs while walking towards the "blind head Han" and "sand dan dwelling".

"Blind Touhan" and "Sha Dan Ju" came to Yunwu Mountain, saw the vast mountains, the four fields were quiet, only heard the sound of the waterfall in the distance, there was no figure around, and the heart was wondering, I don't know which direction to search for Zhang Shaofei, suddenly there was a mountain song, and I saw someone along the mountain trail towards them. The two of them were in good spirits and swaggered forward.

The blind man shouted and asked, "Hey, old man, I'll ask you about someone!" ”

Liang Yaofu blinked his eyes and looked at the two of them, and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Liang Yaofu has never left Yunwu Mountain ten miles away in his life, so when he listens to those rap words, it is like "chickens and ducks talking", so he still waved his hands, pointed to his ears again, made gestures, and said, "I don't understand what you said." ”

Blind Tou Han and Sha Danju were ordered to hunt down Zhang Shaofei and came to Qiu County for a while, so they could barely hear the meaning of Liang Yaofu's answer, and after the two discussed it, Sha Danju said in a half-salty and half-light local language: "We are looking for someone and want to inquire about you." ”

Liang Yaofu frowned: "The sky and the earth are big, and there are more people in the world than the trees on the Cloud Mountain, I don't know who you are looking for." ”

Sha Danju pointed his finger to Taizhen: "He is also from your Taizhen Village." ”

Liang Yaofu said angrily: "Since his family lives in Taizhen Village, you can go there to find it!" ”

Sha Danju: "We searched over there, but there was no sign of him. We suspect that he ran to the Cloud Mountains and went into hiding. ”

The blind man agreed: "We estimate that we are eight or nine this time." ”

Liang Yaofu said angrily: "Ahem, how do I know what the person you are looking for looks like?" ”

Sha Danju: "We have a portrait of him, you can take a look." ”

Blind Han took out a white cloth from his arms, shook it off, raised it in front of Liang Yaofu, and accentuated his tone: "This person's name is Zhang Shaofei." ”

Liang Yaofu looked at this hand-painted bust with a fixed concentration: the face of the Chinese character is painted, the heavenly court is saturated, the nose is high, and the eyes are bright, which is somewhat similar to Zhang Shaofei's appearance.

Liang Yaofu nodded lightly while looking at the portrait: "This person, I seem to have seen it, I have seen it." ”

When Sha Danju heard Liang Yaofu say that he had seen Zhang Shaofei, he was overjoyed, stretched his neck longer than a goose's neck, and asked impatiently: "When did you see him?" ”

Liang Yaofu still said slowly: "I saw him on the other side of the col just now......"

Sha Danju was overjoyed, the horizontal flesh on his face was pulled a few times, he shook the sharp axe in his hand, and asked, "Where is he?" ”

The blind man's urging voice was as loud as a broken gong: "Tell us quickly!" ”

Liang Yaofu scratched his head and hesitated: "I will tell you his whereabouts." This...... This...... But I'm missing my job. ”

"Missed your job?" Sha Danju understood what the other party was referring to, and said bluntly, "You mean to get some benefits from us?" ”

Liang Yaofu: "This is what you said, I didn't force you." ”

"Okay, I'll discuss it with my brother." Sha Danju tilted his head and discussed with the blind man for a while, stretched out the fan-like slap, and spread out his five fingers, "We'll give you five taels of silver." ”

Liang Yaofu pursed his lips, looked uninterested, and said, "Only five taels of silver?" It's too little for beggars, I don't do it! ”

Sha Danju: "Five taels is too little, then ten taels." ”

Why is Sand Urchin so generous? Because when they were leaving, Prime Minister Guan gave a promise: If Zhang Shaofei is caught, he will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold. Therefore, this mere ten taels of silver is nothing compared to the high reward.

When Liang Yaofu heard that they had raised the reward, a smile immediately bloomed on his face, and he nodded in agreement: "Okay, a word is a deal." The silver prize is ten taels. But you must first give you a reward, and then I will show you the way. ”

Sha Danju's thick eyebrows hung up, shook the sharp axe in his hand, and said viciously: "I have a word with you first, if you scold us, then we will not only return these rewards, but also split you in two!" ”

The horizontal flesh on the blind man's face twitched, and his voice was like thunder: "I will also throw you off the cliff to feed the vultures!" ”

Liang Yaofu pointed to the weapon in the other party's hand and said, "You are people with steps like the wind, fierce and vicious, and you are a murderer in your hands. I'm a slow-moving old man, even if I want to escape, how can I escape? How could I be so stupid and seek my own death? ”

Sha Danju felt that Liang Yaofu was telling the truth, took out ten taels of silver from his arms, handed it to him, and said, "I estimate that you will be a urn to make gall, and you don't dare to deceive us." ”

Liang Yaofu took the silver, stuffed it into his arms, and said, "The person you want to arrest is not easy to walk where he is hiding." ”

Sha Danju shook the sharp axe in his hand, flashed out of the cold light in the sunlight, and said contemptuously: "We will also get the difficult road to take!" ”

Liang Yaofu said with a sneer: "I'm afraid that even if you two see him, you won't be able to catch him." ”

Sha Danju laughed loudly and said humbly: "Hmph, that Zhang Shaofei, when he was in Zhongzhou and called the assassin, was just a weak scholar, and this time he didn't want to escape from our palms." ”

The blind man also came to join in the fun, stretched out his right arm, stretched it inward and bent it a few times, and the muscles on his arm slid back and forth like a little mouse: "Hmm, where is he as strong as us." You see, our physique, we don't need to do anything, just putting it on will scare him to death. ”

Leung said in a mysterious tone: "I know he has a great helper. ”
