Before dawn, the mountains got up together and came to the courtyard to wash and wash. Dashan patted Xiaoshan on the back, "Good boy, don't sleep lazy, it's a martial arts practice!"

"My mother wants to take care of my little sister, and I have to do more at home and share more for my mother. At that time, I was still young, and my mother had to take care of two children and work alone, but fortunately I had the help of my uncle in the village. Now that I'm older, I'll take care of this family! Usually I go to look for firewood every three or five days, but it's not autumn, maybe one day the snow will close the mountain, and it's not easy to find firewood again, so I have to go up the mountain today!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go with you, I can't eat white food, right!"

Xiaoshan likes to stay with Dashan, and he can't keep his mouth shut happily. He rushed into the house, kneaded the rest of the previous night's meal into several balls, grabbed a few greens and put them into the sack, and then took the firewood knife and made two gestures to the mountain. The two walked out of the small courtyard and gently pulled the courtyard door together.

The riverside path was tortuous, but the two of them walked very fast, and they had reached the place before they saw the sun. The hill is familiar with the path into the dense forest, and the trees are carefully selected. It is a pine forest that grows extremely luxuriantly. Koyama says that he chooses a different area each time so that it doesn't have much impact on the woods. The pine here is flammable and does not grow too tall, which is just right for the hills. He reached out and patted a half-dead pine, blew into the palm of his hand, and then waved the firewood knife, and the knife went down, leaving a knife mark half a finger deep on the trunk. Dashan saw that he was enjoying it very much, so he just sat on the sidelines and watched, took out the rice ball from the cloth bag and ate it with the green leaves, this time the food was very graceful, like a rich woman, swallowing slowly. Xiaoshan didn't care, he was still competing with Lao Song.

After a while, the old pine fell, and Xiaoshan picked up the firewood knife to break it down, and the whole thing was clean and neat. Dashan saw that Xiaoshan had finished cutting, so he ate the remaining rice balls in one bite, wiped his hands on his clothes, and then walked to Xiaoshan's side and took the firewood knife.

"Let's go eat, I'll be left to watch. ”

Xiaoshan pointed to a few old trees, and Dashan walked in front of one and patted it.

"Brother, you're dying, it's a good deed, I'm worried about running out of firewood at home. In the next life, I will strive to be reincarnated as a human being, and I will be angry if I use a firewood knife to cut down a few more big trees!" After saying a few words, the mountain gently pushed, and the trunk of the tree fell backwards. Xiaoshan was dumbfounded, and he couldn't swallow the food in his mouth anymore.

The mountain pulls the fallen old trees together, cuts the branches to a normal length, and ties them up with hemp rope, leaving two shoulder-width sections for carrying on the back. This big bundle was two or three hundred catties, so the mountain tied another stream of hemp rope.

"Uncle Dashan, you are really amazing, can you teach me?"

"I'm just more powerful, and the methods are actually the same, and when you grow up, you will definitely be better than me!" Dashan touched Xiaoshan's forehead, "It's just that these trees will suffer even more in the future." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and sat down together on the pine needles, enjoying this moment of tranquility. The light and shadow flickered, scattering thousands of copper coins.

"Rest for half an hour. ”

Dashan touched his head, stood up suddenly, picked up the firewood knife and walked in the direction he came,

"Wait for me here, I'll be right back!"

In a moment, the mountain dragged back a large section of branches,

"On the other side of the river, the peach branches, you may not have paid attention to what you found when you came, or you could have picked a few more peaches to eat. ”

The mountain cut off a straight section and slashed it with a firewood knife, and suddenly sawdust flew away. I saw that he was skillful with the knife, the knife was fast and accurate, and the strength was just right. After a while, the branch was already formed, and it was a peachwood sword. Dashan carved it carefully, the wooden sword looked extremely delicate, he clenched the hilt of the sword, and made a few slashes in the air, and the wooden sword whirred.

"Do you want to carve a few words on the sword?"

"Engrave Li Xiaoshan on one side, and engrave Li Dashan on the other!" Xiaoshan shouted in a hurry.

Dashan retrieved the wooden sword and carved it gently, although Xiaoshan knew how to write his name, he also recognized it for a while when he saw this lettering.

"Here, for you!"

Dashan threw the sword to Xiaoshan, and Xiaoshan couldn't put it down, and kept groping on the sword, obviously cherishing it tightly. When the mountains saw that he was happy, their hearts were full of joy.

"Hey, it's strange how I can make a wooden sword!" Ohyama patted his head and muttered.

"Most of the so-called Jianghu people like swords, and there are also sons and brothers who are studying, and the sword is destroyed like a dead mother. The next time I opened an iron shop, I saw the sword boy, so I took the opportunity to fold the sword, and then posted the words 'ancestral sword' at the door of the store, and then put on some fancy sword ornaments to ensure that business was booming!"

Or can you tell others that Lao Tzu is the master you can't afford to mess with? But on the battlefield, the two armies are facing each other, not alone, and the role of the sword is really limited. But even so, those great generals all wore swords, as if only swords could be elegant. Dashan said helplessly,

"In general, the sword is only a help, and the person who uses the sword is the key. I can kill people with a wooden sword. Dashan smiled awkwardly,

"What a killing, bah! Xiaoshan, I hope that you will marry a daughter-in-law in the village in the future, honor your mother, and love your sister, which is very good. It's exciting, but it's not what you think. I can't say what wasn't good enough, I can't remember, but I'm here and I think it's good. Do you know what I'm talking about?"

Xiaoshan has been playing with the wooden sword, only listening to three or two points, and looking at Dashan with a puzzled expression. Dashan smiled, stood up, and stretched his waist greatly,

"Let's go home. ”

"Go down!"

The big and small mountains each picked up the firewood and hurried back.

"Xiaoshan, you cut down more next time, this tree will be much lighter after it is all dried! Xiaoshan, you give this hemp rope to Titi, and it will wear out this small waist for a while! Xiaoshan, I am hungry again, did you finish eating that dumpling just now?! Xiaoshan, it is said that your neighbor's sister-in-law is really good-looking, and she is almost as beautiful as everyone in the city, she is really a good mountain, a good woman! Xiaoshan, ......

"Xiaoshan, throw that broken wooden sword to me, you can't hear me when I speak!!" Dashan said angrily, although his tone was very heavy, but his heart was warm. Xiao Shan knew that he was intentional, and smiled at him, still holding the wooden sword in his hand and playing with it. These two people, carrying firewood, one speaks, the other wields a sword, and neither of them affects the other, which is extremely harmonious.

Walking to the place of acquaintance, the two put down the firewood at the same time, and they had a very tacit understanding. Then they took off their clothes and jumped into the river together. More than ten zhang wide river, the mountain is always one length ahead of the hill, but in two years, it is difficult to say. It was just noon when the mountain pulled the hill up from the shore and patted him on the swarthy back. Seeing the calluses on Xiaoshan's shoulders and remembering that this child was burdened with the heavy responsibility of a family at such a young age, Dashan's heart was a little sour. Seeing that Dashan was covered with scars, and the half of his face covered by the mask also seemed to reveal sadness, Xiaoshan stroked those scars with his hands, with tears in his eyes.

The two of them continued to walk back, and the road was as before. From time to time, I was about to enter the village, and suddenly there was a soft call from the grass beside the road.

"Hill, Hill ......"

Ershan stopped and looked into the grass. Half of a person's head slowly appeared in the grass, and the hill took a closer look,

"Grandma Liu, why are you here?"

The old lady winced and replied,

"Something's wrong, there's an accident! The officers and soldiers came and stabbed the daughter-in-law of the seven boys to death! The people in the village picked up the guy and were about to fight with the officers and soldiers! Poor little daughter-in-law, pregnant for seven months, often wandered around the village with the seven boys during the day, how much the seven boys hurt her! What a good pair! What a pitiful pair, one corpse and two lives......" Mrs. Liu cried as she spoke, and finally couldn't cry, she still suppressed her emotions and continued,

"The people in the village told me to come here to stop the people who have returned to the village from the mountain, don't go yet, most of the children and women in the village have been gathered in the honey forest, and there will be no danger for the time being. ”

Dashan was stunned, then put down the firewood and said,

"Xiaoshan, you stay here with your Grandma Liu, I'll go and see, don't come with me, do you hear!" Xiaoshan didn't speak, but burst into tears. Dashan handed the hill to Mrs. Liu, took out two sticks from the firewood, and flew towards the village.

Before the mountain came near, a loud cry was heard in the distance,

"You are the village chief, except for you and that kid, everyone else has been killed, dare to do a bad thing, not looking for death!" A soldier with a knife and armor held a large knife in his hand, waving it in front of the thin old man with his hands tied.

The old man couldn't cry, and said vaguely,

"You dogs, fuck your ancestors, Lao Tzu will not let you go when he arrives in the underworld, Lao Tzu will strangle you one by one with his own hands......" The old man had snot and tears streaming down.

The armor kicked the old man to the ground and laughed,

"You're here to pinch me, haha!" the surrounding soldiers laughed together.

"Brothers, this old boy, how to deal with him?"

The soldiers rushed to echo,

"It's still too painful to cut off your head, it's too cheap, this old boy, it's better to think of some powerful means!"

Someone else grabbed the way,

"Our brother can bet once, use this small blade to him, see how many knives he can swallow, I think he can hold ten knives, what do you think!"

"Hang a rope by the river, drown slowly, and let him drink like that big belly!

“......”

Listen to the advice of the leader of the armor,

"I think the third child's proposal is good, today this matter is because of this pot-bellied woman, if this old man dies like a girl, then it will be really happy!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

The old man was watered, and his stomach was already bulging, and it was impossible to irrigate it again. The soldiers tied two ropes around the old man, one to the stone and the other to be dragged after death. The soldiers laughed and pushed the old man to the bridge, where they picked up the old man and the rock, ready to enter the river while they were still in the river.

At this moment, two pieces of firewood suddenly flew and hit the foreheads of the two soldiers, and the two of them were injured, their bodies shook, and then they fell backwards, and after losing their hands, the old man flipped onto the bridge. All the soldiers were shocked, and they all looked up at the green water. I saw a green shirt, wearing a silver and black mask, only one left eye was full of anger, and an old-fashioned firewood knife was clutched in his hand, and he rushed towards this side viciously. Before the first soldier could react, he had cut his neck with a firewood knife, he caressed his neck with both hands, blood gushed out from his fingertips, and his mouth was also spurting blood, and he couldn't save it anymore. The man in the green shirt was light and ruthless, and after a few flashes, all five soldiers in this formation were cut throats and died tragically on the spot. After the killing, the green shirt floated a few feet away, standing opposite the rest of the soldiers. This person is Li Dashan, who spent the first day in Lushui Village. I saw that his green silk hung down a foot, covering most of his cheeks, and his chest rose and fell as usual, and he seemed to be accustomed to killing people for a long time.

"Why do you kill innocents indiscriminately...... Why indiscriminate killing...... Why kill innocents indiscriminately!" The roar reverberated and startled countless birds. The soldiers' faces changed drastically, they were white and frightening, and they were shocked when they looked at their dead companions. Both sides were stunned on the spot, and no one moved for a while.

Li Dashan looked at the many dead bodies lying horizontally by the river, and there was only anger in his eyes. Except for the five soldiers whose throats were cut, the rest should have been villagers in Lushui, men and women, hoes and knives all over the ground, and sticks and brooms that the woman had thrown in her hands after she died. Some people were pierced through the heart by arrows, some people had their hands and feet cut off, thrown far away, and finally stabbed into the lower abdomen with a knife, some people were pierced by spear barrels, and the corpses were hung high like this, and some of the heads were only half of them, revealing the blood-red brain marrow, and there was a lonely body, and the head that belonged to him could not be found...... There was also a living person in the corpse, it was "Seventh Brother", his hands and feet were tied together, lying on his side on the ground, his clothes were full of blood stains, his eyes were blood-red, and he stared at a bloody mass in front of him. It was an unborn child who was picked out from the mother's womb and put in front of the eyes of the "Seventh Brother". Now, it's just a piece of flesh and blood the size of three or four catties. The "Seventh Sister-in-law" not far away was disemboweled, and her abdomen had already sunk. Most of the blood froze, and only a little slowly flowed into the green water, but it was enough to dye the green water scarlet.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" the leader roared suddenly.

Several soldiers reacted and reached out to draw their feathered arrows from their quivers. Li Dashan suddenly burst out, rushed to the front of the soldiers in an instant, and cut the necks of the two in a single breath. The other man had just picked up the feather arrow, and was broken by the mountain, and with a strong push, the feather arrow passed through his chest. One man had already drawn the bowstring, but the arrow was caught by the mountain, but it could not be shot, and the mountain struck it, and the man flew backwards, and was pierced out by the broadsword of his companion behind him.

More than 20 soldiers suddenly became in chaos, but none of them stepped forward to resist and retreated in parts. Li Dashan's eyes were red, the firewood knife was waved, and there were dead bodies everywhere he went, all of whom were killed by cutting their throats. The ridiculous thing is that this group of bullying and good people can only act as a prestige in front of the people, and they have no power to fight back when they encounter a strong enemy. I think it has a lot to do with the forces behind it, and it's just a fox and a fake tiger. The leader of the armor found that the situation was not right, and quickly ran to the bridge, he jumped on the war horse, and was about to get up and run, only to see an object behind him break through the air, and instantly embedded in the back of the head, it was the firewood knife. The war horses neighed, and they took the road away, and the corpses of the armor soldiers were strewn, and they did not see the light of day. The remaining soldiers put up a little resistance, but they were also wiped on the neck by the sharp blades seized by the mountain, and they died no longer to die.

Li Dashan was blood-red from head to toe, several blood marks on the mask were terrifying, blood slowly dripped down the scattered long hair, and the ground under his feet was dotted red. Li Dashan held a long knife in his hand, trembled slightly, walked behind the village chief, went down with a knife, and cut the rope. The village chief came back to his senses and kept vomiting. The village chief looked at the corpses all over the ground and wept bitterly. "Seventh Brother" was very calm, he took his wife into his arms, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I'll be with you in a short time, waiting for me, waiting for me ......"

I saw that the "Seventh Brother" stood up, took out a long knife from the soldier next to him, and walked silently towards the outside of the village, knowing at a glance that he was going to avenge his wife and children. Li Dashan dragged him back,

"These little minions dare to be so rampant, and the forces behind them should not be underestimated! You are going to die, deal with this place, I will accompany you, anyway, I kill so many, I don't care about so many. Also, you can't kill without me!"

"Seventh Brother" looked back at Li Dashan and smiled bitterly, laughing more ugly than crying. He is a smart man, and with his own strength, how can he avenge the great revenge. If you can't take revenge, it won't make any sense to die.

Not far away, a child stood on the spot, his face full of tears. Dashan slowly walked up to the child and held him in his arms. The child is surprisingly strong,

"Is my mother here?"

"No, it should be in the honey forest. ”

"Who are those?"

"A dog that is a good dog is like killing a few dogs. ”

The two of them were speechless.

The mountain beckoned to the distance, and Mrs. Liu trotted over, tears gushing out, and the whimpering sound in her mouth made the listener's heart ache and the listener shed tears.

"Don't cry, I'll leave it to you. Mrs. Liu took Xiaoshan's hand, Xiaoshan clenched his hand tightly, and looked at the soldier in the pool of blood with fierce eyes.

"Village chief, transfer all the remaining people in the village, I'm afraid I won't stay here anymore. By the way, the honey forest you are talking about is not safe enough. ”

"The average person can't find it. A few years ago, some officers and soldiers began to come to snatch livestock, and in order to prevent accidents, I asked people to eat and put quilts there, but I didn't expect that they would really be used. The village chief cried again after speaking. The mountain patted him on the shoulder,

"At least there are people alive. Village Chief, you have thought it through! You should take Mrs. Liu and Xiaoshan first, and whether you can survive in the future depends on yourself. ”

"Why don't you hide with us?" the village chief looked at Dashan seriously, and Xiaoshan also raised his head to look at him.

"You have to live well, I'm ......," Dashan said, his fingertips pointing to "Seventh Brother", and continued,

"That guy won't go either, so let him come with me. I'm not going to let him die easily. To be honest, these seven sons are not simple, they are really not simple......"

Dashan looked at the "Seventh Brother" in the distance, stunned. After a while, he turned his head, squatted down, and touched the head of the hill.

"Xiaoshan, there are some things I want to say to you. These officers and soldiers are extremely cruel, and they have done absolutely evil deeds, and they have died innocently. But there are many things that should not be borne by you, and your responsibility is not here. The village is almost gone, but your mother is still there, your sister is still there, and there are children like you. You are the hope of the village, and only if you live well, can the dead villagers rest in peace!"

Xiaoshan finally cried out loud,

"Xiaoshan, don't be blinded by hatred, remember? Those things, I will fight them, you Uncle Shan, you can resist it. Do you believe me?"

Xiaoshan nodded slightly. Listen to the mountain again,

"Village chief, take them away, and never come back. Now that the situation is urgent, the corpses of the villagers will be handed over to the two of us, and we will simply dispose of them, after all, the living people are more important! Alive, well, must be alive!"

The village elders were in tears, and they knew that there would be more officers and soldiers coming at any time, and if that was the case, no one would be able to leave. He pulled up the hill and turned around with Mrs. Liu to walk towards the green water, and the hill turned back from time to time. After a long walk, the mountain cried out to them,

"Li Xiaoshan, I don't seem to be called Li Dashan, but since I met you, I have been Li Dashan! Xiaoshan smiled, tears flowed into his mouth, and he swung the wooden sword in his hand with all his might, wondering if he would be destined to say goodbye to him.

The village chief and the others had already walked far, and they no longer saw the figure of the hill, and the mountain chief breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked to the side of the "seventh brother".

"How about it, have you seen enough? Hand in hand, let's give the villagers a ride. ”

"Seventh Brother" nodded and went with the mountain. The two found wood at the head of the village, built a huge wooden platform, piled pine needles and dry firewood under the platform, and then placed the corpses of the villagers on the wooden platform one by one. "Seventh Brother" personally picked up his wife and children, put them down gently, smiled gently at them, and stroked them with both hands. "Seventh Brother" is not an old-fashioned person, people cannot be resurrected after death, whether they are buried in the earth for peace or burned into powder, in fact, there is not much difference. If you are born again in troubled times, a few people can have others to see them off, which is sad and sad.

Dashan and the "Seventh Brother" each lit a torch and lit the wooden platform one by one. The pine wood caught fire quickly, and the fire rose sharply in an instant, and soon the entire wooden platform was covered in raging fire, and the faces of the mountain and the "Seventh Brother", along with the clouds in the sky, were printed red. From a distance, it looks like a fiery cloud. The barrier of Naping Mountain is also glowing red, but it is even more mysterious. Smoke billowed and could be seen clearly from a distance, but I was afraid that before long, someone would come to investigate the situation.

Li Dashan's chest rose and fell, and he roared,

"Folks, go slowly!"

"Seventh Brother" shouted after him,

"Folks, go slowly!"

The mountains and the road,

"Folks, let's go!"

"Folks, let's go!"

“......”

The two of them shouted for a while, and their bodies remained upright under the platform, and their whole bodies were almost dried by the fire. By the time the fire subsided slightly, the corpses of the villagers had already turned into ashes, and the mountain pulled the "Seventh Brother",

"These rivers and lakes and temples are all going to die, aren't you afraid?"

"Seventh Brother" shook his head calmly,

"What's so terrible about being dead? ”
