Chapter 16: Grace

Zhu Shencheng glanced at the sitting tiger, and then at his brothers, but did not speak for a while.

"Boss Wang......."

Seeing Zhu Shencone's hesitant expression, the mountain tiger couldn't help but plead again, and before he could say the rest of the words, Zhu Shencone suddenly laughed: "Jin Wu, take the guy!" ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Jinwu put the knife back without hesitation, which surprised the mountain tiger.

The sitting tiger didn't react for a while, until Wang Jinwu put the knife into the sheath and asked him with a smile why he couldn't get up yet, and then the sitting tiger subconsciously touched his neck and reacted to what was going on.

The sitting mountain tiger didn't pick up the knife he threw aside, and walked towards Zhu Shencone after getting up. Seeing this, Wang Chuer and the others were immediately vigilant, and just wanted to step forward to stop the sitting tiger, but Zhu Shencone raised his hand to stop them.

When he arrived a few steps ahead of Zhu Shencone, the mountain tiger stopped, and without saying a word, he pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar to Zhu Shencone and bowed his head, and even said that it was not, and thanked Zhu Shencone for not killing.

"Heroes don't have to be like this, get up and ......." Zhu Shencone hurriedly stepped forward to support it with both hands, but he couldn't hold it up under one support, and praised it even more in his heart, and then he pulled the mountain tiger up from the ground with more strength in his hands.

"Good strength!" The mountain tiger was surprised in his heart, he didn't think that this Zhu Shencone seemed to be weak, the strength in his hands was not small, and he had always been powerful, but when he competed with Wang Jinwu just now, he had already comprehended Wang Jinwu's divine power, and if he really talked about his strength, he was actually slightly inferior.

And now, Zhu Shencone's strength is not small, even if it is not as good as himself. Look at the people behind Zhu Shencone, all of them are sturdy men, and most of the weapons they hold in their hands are in the military system, especially their positions and postures are clearly and faintly carried by the military formation, no wonder there is such a courage to smuggle salt.

For a while, the mountain tiger really regretted that he didn't provoke the people he shouldn't have provoked today, and he looked at the other party with few people in front of him, relying on his own large number of people, and he didn't observe carefully, but now he can be regarded as understanding, if he really fights with Zhu Shenchong's group, although the mountain tiger feels that he may be able to change a few people on the other side with his own ability, but the casualties on his side must be far more than Zhu Shenchong's.

"Tiger Master......."

"The little ones don't dare to call themselves masters." Zashan Hu hurriedly shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Boss Wang, the small surname is Li, and the single name is a tiger character, calling me Li Hu or Tiger is, what kind of tiger master, it's just a random nickname." ”

"Hahaha, it's okay." Zhu Shencone laughed, at this time he had already made up his mind, although this Li Hu had a fierce face and strong martial arts, he was not a bad person, and this person was very righteous and straightforward, just now the knife was on his neck and he still pleaded with him to his brother regardless of his own safety, as long as such a person is convinced, he will definitely not backtrack.

The people of today are not as simple as the people of later generations.

Of course, this only refers to ordinary people, the so-called righteousness slaughters more dogs, and the negative heart is mostly a scholar, if you guess correctly, this Li Hu should be from the border army, and he has experienced the battle of the men, and what he cares about most is a mouthful of spit and a nail.

The atmosphere eased.

Helped Li Hu up, found a rock on the side and sat down, asked a few words, and sure enough, as Zhu Shencone expected, Li Hu was born in the border army, and he was not only a small flag of the left guard of Datong Town, but also a personal soldier (family ding) of Deng Guozhong, the former deputy garrison.

In the forty-fifth year of Wanli, the Tumut Department went south to attack the Great Wall and plunder, the garrison fled, and the deputy garrison Deng Guozhong took the initiative to meet the enemy with more than 100 border troops, and unfortunately died under the outnumber.

After the war, the Mongols entered the Great Wall and plundered and suffered heavy losses, and officials at all levels in order to shirk their responsibilities, Deng Guozhong, who died in the war, was not honored, but was detained in a black cauldron, his family was assigned to the army, and his wife and daughter were sent to the Jiaofang Division. The upright Li Hu was implicated in Deng Guozhong's grievances at that time, and was arrested and imprisoned under the suppression from above, stripped of his military position, and finally convicted and sent to Wuxiang Coal Mine to become a miner.

No one expected that the battle for the country would end up like this, and Li Hu's heart was like ashes.

Life is even worse in the coal mine, whether it is the mine supervisor or the steward below, it is not a good thing, and they are not treated as human beings at all.

After a long time, where can Li Hu endure this bird anger? Once, because of a trivial matter, the steward actually killed two miners alive in front of everyone, which immediately aroused the resistance of the miners.

Li Hu, who was already dissatisfied with this, broke out all of a sudden, after all, he was a person who had been a border army and a low-level officer, coupled with Li Hu's straightforward temperament and good skills, he was respected as a big brother by everyone among the miners. Li Hu led people to directly kill the mine manager on the mine, and he took a bad breath out of his chest.

Killing someone, and being a mine supervisor, is not a trivial matter, but it is impossible to turn back after this thing has been done.

Li Hu was a person who had served as a border soldier, and afterwards he knew very well that this place must not continue to stay, if he stayed here and waited for the mine supervisor to return to his senses and mobilize people, then none of them would be able to escape.

In this way, Li Hu decisively took his brothers who resisted together to pack up and escape from the mining area overnight, and then turned all the way south, hiding in Tibet and spending several months running from Wuxiang to here.

When they arrived at Sheepshead Mountain, Li Hu and his brothers temporarily settled down on the mountain, although they were far away from Wuxiang and avoided the pursuit of the mine supervisors, but how to survive next was the most important.

These people can be said to have nothing but their belongings, and even the foothold on this side of Sheep's Head Mountain has just been found temporarily in the past few days, not to mention others.

Seeing that this day is getting colder, if there is no food, this winter will definitely not survive, plus if you want to stay here, you have to think of other ways besides food, all of which require money.

After thinking about it, Li Hu has only one way at the moment, and that is to occupy the mountain for the king to rob the rich and help the poor.

This was also forced to be helpless, and Li Hu and others played the banner of "sitting on the mountain tiger" and started a business with no capital in Sheep's Head Mountain.

But I didn't think that the first time I opened, I ran into Zhu Shencone and his gang, not only did I not scare the other party, but I accidentally even fell into the hands of others. As soon as the gunshot rang out just now, when Wang Jinwu's knife was on Li Hu's neck again, Li Hu was disillusioned and was ready to die on the spot.

After listening to Li Hu's narration, Zhu Shencone suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that Li Hu's gang did not look like a real strongman, and it was like this after making trouble for a long time.

"Sixth Master, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and today I offended the ...... Sixth Master."

"He who does not know is not guilty, and there is no need to mention the past." Zhu Shencone waved his hand, and then asked Li Hu how many people they had now and where they had settled.

Li Hu told Zhu Shencone that there were more than 100 of them, and only most of them were young and strong who came out with him today, and the rest and their families who ran out were settled in the mountains.

As for the foothold, Li Hu sighed and said that he would temporarily accommodate himself at the Laojun Temple.

This place is still to the sheep's head mountain unintentionally found, although this Laojun temple has long been abandoned, but there are still some ruins and broken walls to live in, these days Li Hu took people to build some thatched huts and grass huts in Laojun Temple, hoping to survive this winter.

"It's not easy." patted Li Hu on the shoulder, Zhu Shencone sighed with emotion, thought about it and turned back to Wang Jinwu and said, "Go!" Fetch some rice! ”

Wang Jinwu responded, but then didn't leave immediately, and asked Zhu Shencone how much he should take.

Zhu Shencone scolded with a smile, and directly said that he would take all the rest needed for three days, Wang Jinwu grinned and agreed, and ran backwards in a hurry.

"Sixth Master, ...... are you?" Zhu Shencone and Wang Jinwu Li Hu understood the conversation, his eyes widened and he asked incredulously.

"I didn't bring much rice and food when I went out, so I can only keep some for you for now." Saying that, Zhu Shencone beckoned Wang Chuer to come over, took the silver money he had just asked him to get from Wang Chu's second-hand, and put it in his hand and stuffed it directly into Li Hu's arms: "Take these first, and when I return later, I will send you some grain, rice and farm tools." ”

"This ...... This....... ”

Li Hu didn't know what to say for a while, holding the broken silver and leather money that Zhu Shencone stuffed him with both hands, listening to Zhu Shencone's words in his ears, he was a dignified seven-foot strong man with red eyes, and then thought of the previous disrespect to Zhu Shencone, Li Hu knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Zhu Shencone again and again.

"Big brother......!"

Li Hu's actions made those people not far away suddenly have a commotion, and they thought that something had happened, and a few anxious men couldn't help but shout and ask at the same time, and their feet came to this side.

Afraid that Zhu Shencone would misunderstand, Li Hu hurriedly turned around and shouted at the brothers, then got up and raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and then walked towards his brothers.

When he got closer, Li Hu told the brothers what he had just done, and after listening to Li Hu's explanation, everyone first looked at each other, and then they were overjoyed.

They never thought that there would be such a result, it stands to reason that Zhu Shencone spared Li Hu's life is a great kindness, and now Zhu Shencone actually gave them silver money and rice grain, which is ...... That's really .......
