Xiao Yunfan, the head of the Silver Thirteen, had naturally heard of it, and knew that these people were going to deal with him, so he was disdainful in his heart. In addition, he has a long-standing dislike for the beggars, and his dislike for them is even greater. Secretly said: "Silver Thirteen is as famous as me, and I think he is also a dignified man." But most of the heroes in the rivers and lakes have a self-respecting reputation and rarely kill women. Silver Thirteen may have his reasons for doing this.

In any case, his friend Xiao Yunfan thought that he would, if he really deceived the world and stole his reputation and killed innocents indiscriminately, then the beggar gang wanted to deal with him, and I had to stand by and watch. If he really does the right thing and does it well, I, Xiao Yunfan, will have to fight with the beggars to the end even if I risk my life. ”

As soon as he thought of this, he was proud in his chest. He heard that the man surnamed Ma was going to discuss with the beggars, and he wouldn't do it for a while. For the place they said, Xiao Yunfan also remembered it. He immediately returned to the inn and slept again to replenish his spirits.

In a dilapidated tiled house, twelve lowly beggars guarded the door. In the room, a bloated old woman sits on a mahogany chair. Beside her, two disciples were beating her back, and the woman had a pockmarked face and her hair was scattered. He was smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth.

The old beggar surnamed He held a green bamboo cane and bowed to the old woman, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Elder Tian for making a fortune." "This old woman is Tian Qiulan, one of the eight elders of the Beggar Gang. She squinted at the old beggar surnamed He, and a puff of smoke came out of her fat mouth.

Then she knocked the cigarette ash in the smoke pot on the sole of her shoe, and said slowly: "He Laogou, what do you mean by this?" He Laogou stepped forward with a smile and said: "Someone wants to buy the life of silver thirteen, and the price is fifty thousand taels." The younger brother is often cared for by the elders and has never reciprocated. Now that there is such a beautiful thing, it is natural that you will be the first to think of you. ”

Tian Qiulan nodded and said, "You kid still have a conscience." But I'm afraid it's not so easy to move the silver thirteen, and when will our beggars change their business?" He Laogou sniffed and said, "Elder Tian, this deal has been sent to the door, if you let this mouthful of fat be robbed by others, it will really not be worth it." ”

His words hit the nail on the head, which really made Tian Qiulan tempted. With 50,000 taels of silver, this second half of his life is enough to worry about food and clothing. Tian Qiulan hooked her fingers at him and motioned for him to come forward and speak. He Laogou leaned into her ear and said: "Ma Mingyuan of Majiazhuang is willing to spend 50,000 taels of silver for the life of thirteen silver, I have already brought the person, I don't know if you want to see him?"

Tian Qiulan said with a smile: "Since everyone is here, you invite the God of Wealth in." He Laogou said: "Yes." He walked outside the door and said to Ma Mingyuan in the distance: "Brother Ma, come here, Elder Tian is affectionate." ”

While speaking, Ma Mingyuan walked into the room, and a fishy smell in the room almost made him sick. He forcibly arched his hand and said, "Elder Tian has been looking up for a long time. Tian Qiulan smiled and said: "The old beggar is very shabby, I don't know where Uncle Ma came from for so long, and where did he come from?"

Ma Mingyuan's face turned red and said: "Elder Tian is famous in the beggar gang, and for Ma, he is a senior master. Ma likes to make friends with heroes and heroes in his life, and he has great reverence for his predecessors. Elder Tian didn't have to be humble. ”

Tian Qiulan said: "Uncle Ma's words are beautiful, and I am happy with this old woman in a high hat." Someone came to show Uncle Ma. Before she could finish speaking, a clever subordinate immediately moved a chair over.

Tian Qiulan said again: "Uncle Ma is a guest from afar, it stands to reason that the old woman should treat you well." However, Uncle Ma is well-informed, so naturally he doesn't look down on the old beggar's things. I don't think it's better to be free from this kind of false courtesy. ”

Ma Mingyuan smiled and said, "What Elder Tian said, it is already very rare for you to be willing to see me, how dare I ask for anything else." Tian Qiulan stretched out her fat palm and scratched her neck, squinted at He Laogou and said: "I said that Uncle Ma has something to ask my wife, I don't think it should be, look at Uncle Ma's luxurious clothes, at first glance, he is a big family." I think he must be making fun of my wife. ”

He Laogou sniffed again and said, "Look at what you always said, I have a few dares to ask you to be happy." Brother Ma, Elder Tian is a cheerful person, you will tell her the old man about your affairs as it is, she is the most chivalrous and courageous, and she will definitely call the shots for you. ”

When Ma Mingyuan heard this, he burst into tears and said, "Elder Tian, your old man must be the master for me." My sister-in-law Ma Qingping was innocently murdered by the thief Yin Thirteen, and he didn't count the murder and pulled out my sister's body naked and threw it in front of my Majiazhuang.

The villain's martial arts are sloppy and he is not his opponent. I wanted to ask Brother He to help me, but Brother He said that as long as I told Elder Tian about this matter, she would be jealous and hateful, and she would definitely seek justice for me. ”

Tian Qiulan raised her head, stretched out her hand and slapped it heavily on the table beside her, and the tea bowl on the table jumped up and rolled down. I only heard her say loudly: "How can this be reasonable, this silver thirteen is indeed too deceitful, don't say that it is your Uncle Ma who begged to come to my door, even if Uncle Ma doesn't say that this matter will reach the ears of the old woman, he will slaughter this dog thing." ”

Ma Mingyuan listened to her righteous words, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The seniors are high-spirited and bright, and the younger generations admire the five-body throwing to the ground." ”

Tian Qiulan glanced at He Laogou, He Laogou hurriedly helped Ma Mingyuan up, patted the dust on his body for him, and said slowly: "Brother, what do I say, Elder Tian is chivalrous, you just put your heart in your stomach, since she has promised you, the head of Silver Thirteen will be screwed off sooner or later, and you will be the night pot." ”

Ma Mingyuan stretched out his sleeves and wiped his tears and said, "Brother He, Elder Tian, I, Ma Mingyuan, am not a person who doesn't understand the rules. As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket of three thousand taels and handed it to He Laogou with both hands and said, "Please also ask the elder to accept it." ”

Tian Qiulan said: "Lao He, you go and call all the disciples outside the door in, and say that I have something to tell them." After a while, the twelve disciples walked into the house holding the bamboo poles. Tian Qiulan said: "A few of you will go down to check the whereabouts of Yin Thirteen now, and report back immediately if you find it." The twelve said in unison, "Yes." "Fish out as he spoke.

Tian Qiulan pondered for a moment and then said, "Uncle Ma, after you go back, write a challenge letter in your name." We are people in the rivers and lakes, and we have to do it according to the rules of the rivers and lakes. Ma Mingyuan said: "Yes, the juniors will go back and prepare." Tian Qiulan said to Ma Mingyuan: "People can't be resurrected after death, Uncle Ma is still mourning, old dog, you send Uncle Ma." ”

Saying that, the two of them saluted Tian Qiulan, and then hurried out of the house. Ma Mingyuan was still uneasy and said, "Brother He, is this Elder Tian reliable?" He Laogou looked around, pointed at him and said, "I said you kid, I have to say this in front of my elder brother and me, if you really let Elder Tian hear it, you will be considered yellow." ”

Ma Mingyuan nodded and said, "Yes, yes, what the eldest brother said is." When I get the head of the thirteenth silver, I will have the rest of the silver delivered. He Laogou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I believe in your credibility big brother." ”

In March, everything recovers. A row of willow trees on the bank of the river has just spit out their buds, and thousands of soft threads are swaying from side to side in the spring breeze. A cold voice said, "People in the world who are unfortunate deserve to die." As he spoke, he threw a small wooden sign with Ma Qingping's name written on it in front of a dug earthen pit, spat on it, and then used his foot to wipe the soil in front of the pit and bury the wooden plaque.

The man who spoke had silver hair, and the strange thing was that the silver hair was straight like pine needles. His eyebrows were also white, and he had a cold and arrogant look on his face. Although it was early spring, the weather was still very cold. He wore only a brown animal skin vest on his upper body, a wolf tooth ornament around his neck, and the neckline of the vest was open, revealing his solid chest muscles.

This person is the famous Silver Thirteen. His origin is unknown, but twenty years ago, this person became famous overnight like a meteor. Some say he's a gambler, others say he's a killer, and some say he's a madman. Regardless of the truth, one thing is true, this man's martial arts are excellent.

None of the people he wants to kill will live. What he wants to do, no one can stop. The wounds of those killed by Silver Thirteen are peculiar, their entire face will be sunken, there will be a hole in their throat, the joints of their limbs will be dislocated, and the skin of their chest will be marked with a wolf's head.

Silver Thirteen sat by the river and took a piccolo from his bosom. The sound of the flute is clear and pleasant, and the music is bright and concise. On the other side of the river sat a middle-aged fisherman. At this time, a woman in a goose-yellow shirt, she heard the silver thirteen playing the flute, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really good." Can you play another song?"

Silver Thirteen stood up and turned to leave. The woman raised her hand, and an extremely long ribbon was wrapped around a branch. She leaped and flew over the river. She chased after her and said, "Hey, why don't you answer, are you deaf?"

The girl said, "Hmph, this girl listened to you blow well, so I asked you to blow it again, and others just cried and shouted and begged me to listen, and I didn't bother to pay attention to him." Silver Thirteen ignored her and turned and walked forward. The girl flicked her wrist, and the ribbon tied to the branch returned to her.

She glanced at the back of Silver Thirteen and said, "Boy, what this girl wants you to do, if you dare to say a word, I will let you know my means." Yin 13 said: "What I don't want to do, others can't force me." The girl smiled and said, "Coincidentally, this girl likes to be strong." You'd better be honest and obedient, maybe I'll reward you with an ingot. Otherwise......"

Silver Thirteen ignored him and strode forward. The girl's wrist flicked, and the ribbon went around his neck like a long snake. Silver Thirteen bent his knees, and the ribbon fell into the air. The girl was not reconciled, and with a pull of her right hand, she sent it again, and the ribbon pierced the back of Silver Thirteen's head like a javelin.

The silver thirteen heads did not look back, and strode forward. The ribbon flew quickly, but it was always three inches from the back of his head. After all, the length of the ribbon is limited, and the people of the Silver Thirteen are beyond the reach of the ribbon. His figure flickered, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared. The girl chased after her, but she could not catch up.

She put away the ribbon and said loudly, "Hey, you wait for this girl, I have to look good next time I see you." As soon as she turned around, an old fisherman looked at her and said, "Girl, you want to get into trouble again?" The girl turned around and stuck out her tongue, and said with a red face: "Second Uncle Hu, you have seen it all." ”

The fisherman said, "You girl really don't know the height of the sky, do you know who that person is just now?" The girl said, "Isn't he just a man with white hair?" The fisherman shook his head and said: "This person is a big devil, and people on the rivers and lakes can't wait to avoid it." But you might as well provoke him. ”

When the girl heard this, she laughed and said, "What kind of big devil? If he is really a big devil, how can he be so afraid of me?" The fisherman shook his head and sighed: "Girl, you must be cautious when walking the rivers and lakes." As the saying goes: 'A mountain is higher than a mountain, and a water is deeper than a water', just your little bit of Taoism, thanks to your uncle and me, otherwise you will have to suffer if you really meet the top masters. ”

The girl grimaced at the fisherman and said, "You old fellows are the most annoying, and my ears can afford to hear calluses in the words of one mountain and two mountains." If you want me to say that you are a human being, the older you are, the more timid you are. The fisherman smiled bitterly and said: "When people are old, they will be timid, and young people will be bold and do things without depth, and there will always be a day when they hit their heads and break their blood." ”

The girl walked up to the fisherman, looked at his fish basket and said, "Second Uncle Hu, you caught a fish after fishing for a long time." And this fish is only so small. As she spoke, she deliberately gestured with her little thumb.
