Chapter 42: The mountain village is bad again

Xiao Er, a shopkeeper in the fishing village, said: "This is also what those people said before, I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Ula Peach stopped, gasped twice, and said: "This is incompatible with the white-haired tiger's style of doing things, and there must be demons when things go wrong." If that's true, maybe there's something else!"

Alayanzong groaned slightly, "Maybe I've really gone too far. Let's go. ”

The trio continued westward along the mountain road.

The trail is not steep and relatively gentle. The mountains to the south are slightly higher and more steep, while the mountains to the north are slightly lower and are all shrubs.

The mountain breeze was blowing very coolly. The sun hung high in the sky, and the sun passed through the mountains and shone warmly on the body. It's almost noon.

The wave of people who disembarked together may have been unable to see them at all because they had left earlier.

There was a mountain spring flowing out of the cliff in front of them, and the three of them drank the spring water, washed their faces, and filled the water bladder again, intending to find a place to settle down and eat some dry food.

After walking a few dozen meters, there was a relatively flat stone in front of me, and I was going to sit there. When I got closer, I realized that there was a fork in the road to the north.

Along the way, there is a small mountain village not far away, where several thatched houses are located irregularly.

The three of them walked towards the village.

A small river flows from west to east, and houses are built on the banks of the river.

Before he could get closer, he heard shouting.

Several people, dressed in rags and with their hair in a messy bun, were bent down to carry bamboo baskets, as if they were loading goods onto a carriage.

The man next to him was brightly dressed and holding a leather whip in his hand, and he was whipping the ragged man.

The leather whip fell, and the man carrying the bamboo basket was a clever man, but he didn't dare to resist, and he still bent over to work.

The man wielding the whip was a man of about thirty years old, the whip was whipped and his mouth was swearing.

"You poor ghost, you eat and drink, and you still earn wages, you can't work hard, you are slippery and lazy, it's really a beating!"

He again raised his whip to whip a thin boy of fifteen or sixteen, and his wrist was grabbed.

The glamorous man was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw that it was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man who grabbed his wrist, with black curly hair and blue eyes, and a resolute face.

He was dressed in a clean and neat green suit, with a short sword hanging from his waist and a package on his back diagonally.

But he was still full of stubbornness and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Alayanzong said with a straight face: "Don't hit people. ”

The glamorous man raised his voice, "Can you handle it?"

As he spoke, his right arm slammed downward, he wanted to shake off Alayanzong, but he didn't expect Alayanzong's arm to be extremely strong, he didn't pull it at all, and the arm held high was still held there by Alayanzong.

He panicked a little.

But the mouth is still tough, "You... You... What do you want to do?"

Alayanzong emphasized again, "I just want you not to beat people again!"

He held his arms high and still didn't give in, "Our own business, you don't have to worry about it!"

Alayanzong smiled, the five fingers of his left hand were strengthened, and the glamorous man felt that the vise was clamped tighter, and he screamed in pain.

"Alas, alas, lightly, lightly, don't fight, I won't fight, the young man's men will be merciful!"

When Alayanzong saw him say something soft, he let go of his hand.

The glamorous man kept groaning, holding his right wrist with his left hand, as if it was still hurting.

Several ragged people carrying bamboo baskets straightened up and looked at this place, incredulous at what was in front of them. The younger ones were fifteen or sixteen years old, and the older ones were over fifty.

The bamboo basket is filled with fresh fish.

The glamorous man carried a whip to dodge Alayanzong ten steps away, and even pointed at Alayanzong with a whip, "You kid is nosy! Don't go, I'll ask Brother Tiger to teach you a lesson in a while!"

After that, he whipped a few ragged men, "What do you see? Keep working! Do you want to be whipped?"

The men hurriedly leaned over and rushed to the carriage with the basket in hand.

Seeing that this guy was only scaring a few laborers, Alayanzong did not whip him to beat him, although his mouth was very hard, and Alayanzong ignored him.

Greeting the peach of Ula and the fishing village shopkeeper, sitting on a stone on the side of the road, Alayanzong took out the mutton jerky, gave some to the shopkeeper, put it in his mouth and chewed carelessly, and drank a sip of spring water in the bladder from time to time.

Ula Peach chewed the jerky and said vaguely: "That person said Brother Tiger just now, let Brother Tiger teach you a lesson." ”

Before Alayanzong could speak, the shopkeeper laughed, "Maybe the tiger brother he said is the white-haired tiger!"

Alayanzong was stunned, stopped chewing, and looked at the ragged people, "If it's really a white-haired tiger, these people are his cheap labor." ”

Ula Peach was stunned for a moment, "It's really not a good bird! There is no free lunch in the world." ”

The shopkeeper looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, and took down a piece of dried mutton that he put to his mouth, "That... That... This... Can't I eat this mutton jerky for nothing?"

Both Alayanzong and Ula Peach laughed.

Ula Peach said: "This matter is not another matter, you should be another matter. Eat with confidence!"

The shopkeeper smiled, "That... That's how I think too much. Then he continued to eat jerky.

At this time, the carriage was filled with fresh fish, and the bright man beckoned two men of about forty or so, and said a few words, and the two led the horses, went up the mountain road, and drove away.

The glamorous man led the five ragged men to a grass hut.

The five of them faltered, as if they were tired.

The three of them were full, and they didn't see the glamorous man come out again.

Alayanzong got up, intending to turn back and leave the village to continue his journey, when he suddenly heard the shout of a bright man, and then saw him rushing out of the house, shouting:

"Brother Tiger is back! Brother Tiger is back!"

Alayanzong looked east, and a wooden boat was slowly coming up the river.

At the bow of the boat stood a man with a hat and white hair, who was a white-haired tiger.

The white-haired tiger stuck the penny into the water and propped up the wooden boat one by one.

The glamorous man ran to the simple dock by the river, stood there to greet the white-haired tiger, and kept shouting, "Brother Tiger Tiger, you are finally back!

The white-haired tiger stopped the boat and threw the cable onto the dock, and the glamorous man was tethered.

The white-haired tiger asked, "Who dares to bully us?" You go and ask someone to unload the fish first. I'll see who eats the ambitious leopard gall!"

The glamorous man put his hand to his mouth and made a trumpet shape, shouting, "Come out and unload the fish!" and followed the white-haired tiger step by step, "The person who bullied us hasn't left yet, and he is on the shore, and he is a stinky boy who has not dried up." ”

The white-haired tiger was stunned for a moment, "Is it a stinky boy?" and looked to the shore.

He saw the three members of the Alayanzong standing on the road on the shore and looking at him, and the white-haired tiger struck the glamorous man with an ear scraper.

"What a stinky boy who hasn't dried up! Is that what you can say? That's a hero, called Shaoxia!"

The glamorous man was immediately stunned, covered his left side of his face and said with a crying voice: "Brother Tiger, I... I..."

"What are you, don't you want to make amends!"

The white-haired tiger hurriedly walked ashore, hugged his fist at Alayanzong, and said with a smile: "I don't know that the young man came in advance, and the white-haired tiger apologized." The black-haired dog doesn't know how to be polite, blame me for not being strict with discipline, and I have taught him a lesson. ”

A series of performances by the white-haired tiger and the black-haired dog, Alayanzong saw it in his eyes, and said with a smile: "It is said that dogs fight human power, and he is a dog fighting tiger potential!"

The black-haired dog saw that the white-haired tiger was polite to Alayanzong, and he probably understood eight or nine points in his heart, so he hurriedly saluted Alayanzong, "The young man forgives his sins, the black-haired dog has eyes and no beads, and he offended the young man." ”

At this time, several ragged men came out of the grass hut and went straight to the dock boat to carry the fish.

Alayanzong pointed to the compartment and asked the white-haired tiger, "This is the hired worker you hired, right?"
