Chu Zhongli walked to the village chief's side, and with a flash of his sword, he cut the rope on the village chief's body, only to see that the village chief's face was pale and coughing, obviously not recovering from the fright just now. Chu Zhongli said to the village chief: "Village Chief Li, I think that now Shixi Village has become a target, and it will be extremely dangerous for the villagers to stay here. There are still vacant houses in Linjiang City, and just while everyone is here, you can announce to everyone that the villagers of the entire village have moved to Linjiang City. ”

Lao Li nodded, Chu Zhongli called everyone over, and said: "People, I am Linjiang Chuhou, under the jurisdiction of Linjiang City and the surrounding counties, last time I passed by here to suppress bandits, everyone knows me, now this place is extremely dangerous, everyone should go to Linjiang City with me, go to the house to live, and give five taels of silver for settling expenses." There are blacksmiths in the city, farms, fish markets, and shipyards in the suburbs, where everyone can work as workers, and then use the money to buy food to eat, and they can also have no worries about food and clothing. ”

The village chief said to the side: "Folks, you haven't forgotten, when Lord Chuhou came to us before, the requisitioned grain was doubled. Lord Chuhou said that one is one and two is two, and he will definitely not speak and will not count. If it weren't for Lord Chuhou suddenly coming out to rescue him this time, then we would all have to die here, if we don't leave, and there will be a bandit coming next time, what will we do?

When everyone heard this, they all said yes. "That's right!" "Let's go, it's too scary!" "I'll give five taels of silver as soon as I go, that's good, I've never seen five taels of silver in my life!" The villagers agreed one-sidedly in an instant, and some of the rich families were not very happy, but they reluctantly agreed. Although the peasants have the characteristic of relocating to the land, this characteristic is no match for the human nature - fear of death. The peasants don't have much culture, they haven't seen much of the world, they often can't understand abstract concepts, but they have a very strong ability to understand concrete things, and this time the robbers gathered them together to prepare for slaughter, this is the concrete scene, this concrete scene has brought a great impact on their simple hearts, in this case, of course, they are very willing to go to a safe place.

The village chief said: "It's okay if everyone is willing, then let's go back and pack our things, and let's set off with Lord Chuhou early tomorrow morning!"

"Hey...... All right. Chu Zhongxuan thought, why is it still one night, but since the village chief said so, then let's wait for one night. Thinking about it again, this order of the village chief is a matter of experience, and it is a decision made in line with the actual situation, and the villagers must attach great importance to their altars and jars, and some rich families have more than five taels of silver in their homes, so it is indeed not a wise move to let them take nothing and leave. What's more, if you really don't bring anything, there will be nothing at home after arriving in Linjiang City, and it may cause greater expenses. Thinking of this, he also nodded and recognized the village chief.

After hearing this, the villagers went home to clean up. Ji Qingji walked to Chu Zhongli's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Chu loves the people like a son, I admire him very much." ”

Chu Zhongli said: "Brother Qingji doesn't need to say that, this incident was originally caused by me, but I took responsibility for what I caused, the world is like this, often do one thing, there will be countless consequences, and the result is good or bad, it is difficult to predict, I wait but with a passion and try my best to move forward." ”

Ji Qingji said: "According to Ji, being able to take care of the things he causes by himself is already considered a manly man, and most people make trouble by themselves and let others bear the consequences, hahahaha......"

Speaking of which, Chu Zhongli and Ji Qingji both laughed, and Ji Qingji said: "Since everyone has to clean up for the night, then you and I might as well have a drink tonight, drinking wine and eating meat, and chatting at the same time, isn't it happy?"

Chu Zhongli said: "Naturally, it is a happy thing, but I am afraid that I will get drunk, and I can't resist the enemy when he comes." ”

"Whew. Ji Qingji's eyes flashed with light, and said: "Brother Chu doesn't know, Ji Mou drinks, often has a point of wine to have more strength, and ten percent of wine is more than ten things, if the enemy really comes when he drinks, then he will beat them with wine!"

Chu Zhongli heard this, and said happily: "Exactly, exactly, this is also what Haojie did, since this is the case, the two of us will get drunk and rest!"

That night, the two went to the village chief's house to beg for wine and meat to eat, and just in time to move tomorrow, there was a sheep that was not easy to carry, so they killed everyone and invited everyone to eat, and gave the two a leg of mutton alone. There was good wine, and it was difficult to move away, so he took two large jars to Chu Ji and the others, Chu Zhongli was holding a bloody leg of mutton, Ji Qingji was carrying a jar of good wine in one hand, and the two walked out. These two jars of wine are connected to the jar and there are twenty catties, and Ji Qingji is like carrying two bamboo baskets. Ji Qingji said: "Invite guests to dinner in the village, there are too many people, too narrow, you and I will go to the village outside the slope for a picnic, which is spacious and can see the situation in the village, isn't it good?"

Chu Zhongli nodded and said, "Indeed, I don't like too many people." ”

The two left the village and sat on the grass in the suburbs, and Ji Qingji picked up some branches, lit a fire, and threw the leg of mutton into it to roast. Chu Zhongli patted his head and said, "Oops, Brother Qingji, you wait for me first, I'll go get something." ”

Ji Qingji said: "What do you want to take?"

Chu Zhongli said: "We didn't bring tableware. ”

Ji Qingji laughed, spread out his ten fingers, and said, "What kind of tableware do you need to eat a leg of mutton, this is tableware!"

Chu Zhongli said: "What my brother said is, since we are going to drink and forget to bring the bowl, I should take it." ”

Ji Qingji picked up a jar of wine and shook it twice, pointed to his big mouth and said, "What bowl do you want, there is no bigger bowl in the world!"

Chu Zhongli said with a smile: "Brother Qingji is really bold, Chu admires it, in this case, how about you and I pour him two bowls first?"

Ji Qingji said: "That's no better!" Unsealed the two jars of wine, and a thick aroma of wine wafted out of the jar.

Chu Zhongli nodded and said, "Good wine." ”

Ji Qingji said: "Does Brother Chu also understand wine?"

Chu Zhongli shook his head and said: "I don't know the quality of wine, I only know that if one or two confidants can drink together, then any wine is good wine." ”

Ji Qingji laughed and said, "With this sentence, Ji should be respectful first!"

Chu Zhongli also lifted the wine jar, took three sips in a row, and slowly put it down.

Ji Qingji was surprised: "I didn't see it, Brother Chu doesn't look majestic, but the amount of wine is not small." ”

Chu Zhongli said: "That's because I have been worried a lot since I was a child, and since I grew up, I am willing to drink some wine whenever I have troubles, and the amount of alcohol is getting higher and higher. ”

Ji Qingji frowned. said: "Brother Chu is young, why are you so worried?"

Chu Zhongli sighed: "Alas, Brother Qingji doesn't know, just because I have plenty of time today, I will tell Brother Qingji about my experience." Chu Zhongli raised the wine altar again, Ji Qingji also immediately raised the altar to accompany him, after Chu Zhongli drank two sips of wine, he told him how he couldn't practice, how he was despised, and how he tried his best to develop other aspects to make up for the shortcomings of his inability to practice, and finally told him about Xuanyin Daochang.

Ji Qingji also sighed and said: "Brother Chu couldn't practice before, so he worked hard in other aspects, even if he was ridiculed, he didn't give up, this kind of perseverance is admirable." Ji Mou said the truth, there are not many people I admire in my life, and Brother Chu is one. ”

After Chu Zhongli heard this, he was moved in his heart, knowing that the other party was a straight-hearted man, so he didn't go to be polite to him, raised the jar and drank a few big sips, but Ji Qingji lifted the jar and drank half of the jar in a row. After drinking, Ji Qingji put down the wine jar and told Chu Zhongli about his worries over the years, but he didn't have the tragic fate of losing his talent for practice, whenever he encountered something that he couldn't solve, he always honed his ability and finally solved it. After Chu Zhongli heard this, he was very moved by his enthusiastic spirit, and hoped that he could have the experience of the other party.

The two chatted for a while, and Ji Qingji said: "There is one thing I want to ask, since Brother Chu said that he can't practice, why is his kung fu so good now? ”

Chu Zhong thought about it, if this matter is told truthfully, Donghuang Taiyi will be exposed immediately, then he will be sorry for Donghuang seniors, but if he lies casually, he will be too sorry for Ji Qingji. So he compromised and told Ji Qingji that he was indeed blessed by the gods, but he hid the name of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and told him that whenever he was about to be beaten, he might get the help of the gods, which was the case that day, but sometimes the gods would not work.

After Ji Qingji heard this, he stretched out his thumb and praised it: "Brother Chu is blessed by the gods, it is a good person who has a good reward! I, Ji Qingji, will also do more good deeds in the future, do not do bad things, be loyal to the country, be filial to my father, and be responsible for my friends, maybe I can be like you, and I will also be blessed by the gods!"

Chu Zhongli knew that he was definitely not drunk, but just wanted to take advantage of the coolness, so he fell down and said: "Brother Qingji, so the only happy thing that the junior brother is currently doing is to lead the army to pick the Niutou Mountain and save an innocent woman." ”

Ji Qingji said curiously: "I haven't heard of the details of the attack on Niutou Mountain, Brother Chu will tell me quickly, so that I can appreciate the heroic atmosphere!"
