The clothes want to wet the apricot blossom rain, and the wind blows the willow wind.

Spring along the coast always comes relatively early, only a little more than a month after the end of the year, the raging north wind disappeared overnight, the sea blew a slightly drunk and intoxicating warm wind, and then looked up, the peach and plum apricot trees by the courtyard wall have quietly grown flowers and bones, swaying in the spring breeze.

Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers.

The villagers of Lujia Village are starting to get busy again, and the plan of the year lies in spring!

The men were busy sorting out the fishing nets of the boats that had been shelved for a winter, especially the fishing boats, although they were reinforced according to the instructions of the road fishermen, and if they were not launched in the water for a winter, they still needed to be repaired with sawdust tung oil.

The women went together to turn over the soil and sow seeds in the woodlands of the back mountains, and for the whole village of Lujia Village, everything was so fulfilling and busy, year after year, year after year.

After the village paid tribute to its ancestors in the ancestral hall during the Qingming Festival, Lu Yiyi, Lu Yiwen, and Lu Xiaobo were invited to the house.

Everyone was silent, and no one was willing to speak.

Because I know what I will say today, and their relationship, if you don't say it, it will definitely not work, and it seems redundant to say it!

There was silence for a long time.

Lu Yi finally took Sun Yuan'er to the three of them and knelt down, Lu Yiwen and Lu Xiaobo hurriedly stood up, but saw Xiao Yu'er waving his hand to signal the two of them to sit down, but Lu Yiwen and Lu Xiaobo, who sat down again, had tears streaming down their eyes.

The two kowtowed three times and got up, still not a word could be spoken, but their eyes were equally red.

Xiao Yu'er broke the silence and said word by word:

"You can go with confidence! As long as we live! Aunt Yu will not have anything!"

Lu nodded, and saw the two little friends who were silently crying from childhood to adulthood, their mouths opened, and they couldn't make a sound, and they held back the tears in their eyes and pulled Sun Yuan'er out of the room.

Lu Yu's room was tightly closed.

Lu Yiyi and the two knelt down and kowtowed in silence, and then got up and left the courtyard.

The footsteps were far away, and a heart-rending cry could be heard in the room.

A horse-drawn carriage was parked at the entrance of the village, snorting happily.

Helping Sun Yuan'er and the servant into the carriage, Lu Yi turned to face the village, knelt down seriously and kowtowed three times again, but when he got up, he found that the men, women and children of the whole village were standing not far away and silently sending each other, the old people and women were red-eyed, and some of the children were shaking their shoulders and sobbing constantly, but they didn't cry, because Xiao Yu'er had confessed, don't let Lu Yi see everyone crying, then he would be sad.

As soon as Lu jumped into the carriage, he could no longer control the tears that welled up in his eyes, and he lay on the bumpy carriage and cried bitterly.

Sun Yuan'er lifted the curtain, gently hugged her man from behind, and comforted softly:

"You're going to make them even more upset. ”

Lu Yi stopped crying, wiped his eyes, stood up, turned back and waved his hands desperately at the crowd at the entrance of the village, until the carriage entered the col, and the familiar village was no longer visible.

The adults who saw them off slowly dispersed, and the children stayed, still looking out over the mountain col in the distance, hoping that the carriage would suddenly turn back.

Lu Yiwen sat on the sand weakly, hugging his head and crying, Lu Xiaobo raised his head, and kept comforting his sister who was sobbing in his arms.

Xiao Yu'er patted them on the shoulder, looked at the children in the village and said in a deep voice:

"Your brother Lu Yi and Uncle Lu Yi are gone, but the most uneasy and most worried thing is that someone will find our village and hurt everyone! So you have to work harder to practice martial arts! Let every brother and sister who walks out of the village have no worries in the future! Can you do it?"

The children wiped their eyes and replied neatly:

"It can be done!"

Xiao Yu'er suddenly laughed heartily, turned his head to look at the mountain col, and shouted with all his strength:

"Lu Yi! remember to come back early!"

——————

There is no way to verify why Qingniu Mountain is called Qingniu Mountain, no matter which direction you look at, it has nothing to do with Qingniu.

When the head of Wenda passed by here more than 20 years ago, he also wondered how he looked at this Qingniu Mountain, which looked like a giant python in the winding and circling mountain, why did he choose the name Qingniu? But he was just passing by, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

The master of Wenda had just committed an accident in Sunan County, in fact, this matter seemed to him to be very rare and ordinary, but his luck was not good enough.

Walking the rivers and lakes, especially when he was only in his early twenties, energetic, and good martial arts, he had just solved a family of three for an old man.

The reason is simple, and it is common in these troubled times.

When the old man went out to the spring, he fell in love with a girl in an ordinary family with four walls, and planned to buy it into the house as a maid for twenty taels, the price was indeed fair, but he didn't expect that the family didn't know how to lift, so he sent his nephew to bring two entourages to pick up people.

It's just an accident happened, the girl's brother actually practiced martial arts, it seems to be not bad, grabbed the flat shoulder and beat the nephew to death without a few moves.

Is this worth it?

The staff was very angry, so he found the master of Wenda through a nursing home, and helping his friends solve problems has always been his principle of life, so he went.

That girl is indeed very beautiful, no wonder the old man never forgets the matter, which can be solved with fifty taels of silver, because he proposed to bring the girl over unscathed, so the old man happily doubled the silver.

After cutting off the head of his daughter's brother with a knife, he looked at the hysterical old couple, thinking that it was still a good person to do it to the end, so he made up for it twice, and then picked up the girl who was already scared and threw it on the bed with only one broken quilt.

If such a good girl doesn't taste it first, how can she be worthy of her handsome and chic appearance, if the old man doesn't know how to lift, the master of Wenda doesn't mind using the knife again, after all, I heard that the old man has a few concubines It's not bad.

Afterwards, after the old man took over the silly girl, the master of Wenda had a hundred taels of silver in his hand, and others were interested, and he had to pay attention to honesty when walking the rivers and lakes, so he decided to go to the frost jade building in the county town to relax.

That girl looks really good, but a young girl who has no personnel is not much different from a salted fish thrown ashore, far less than the blowing and singing under the slender white jade fingertips of Miss Lingling, the top brand of Shuangyu Building, isn't it fifty taels of silver at a time?

It was unfortunate when Wenda went to the house, Lingling was not feeling well, as a frequent visitor to the Frost Jade Building, he used to play on the first and second floors, and several Oiran head cards were on the third floor, saying that he was not feeling well, and basically there were other guests.

That night, he drank some wine, but he didn't hold back, and rushed forward, and sure enough, he saw Lingling sitting in the arms of a young man, and one of the young man's hands was hiding from the cold winter wind in her low neckline.

The master of Wenda kicked over the young man, slapped Lingling hard, and just finished scolding a slut, he was surrounded by the guards who rushed over, he didn't panic, because he was very confident in the knife in his hand!

But one of the middle-aged men who looked like a steward only said a word, and he had no choice but to escape.

"Who dares to make trouble in the field of Zeng's house in Jiangnan?"

One of the eight great families in the nine counties, if he knew that Shuangyulou belonged to the Zeng family, how could he kick that kick here, throw out that slap, and scold those two words?!

Wenda is impulsive and enthusiastic, but he is not stupid, he ran through the window at that time, fortunately his light skills are not bad, at that moment he was very grateful to the master who had been angry with him, if it wasn't for forcing him to tie sandbags to his legs when he was a child, he wouldn't have been able to run away that night.

Sunan County definitely didn't dare to stay, so it went to the direction of Beijiang, the more remote the better, and the wrong one entered Qingniu Mountain.

When the master of Wenda was sitting on the edge of a stream to rest and eat dry food, he suddenly heard a gong sound, at first he thought that it was the master of the Zeng family chasing after him, and he was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly after seeing the people who came, it turned out to be more than a dozen "strongmen with cut paths" in tattered clothes, and the weapons in their hands were also varied, and the most frightening people should be a few axes for chopping wood.

The cottage of the strong people is located in the depths of Qingniu Mountain, Dubei Peak, is a broken temple, the first time the master of Wenda saw it, he felt that this is a treasure of feng shui, not to mention the mountains and rivers, mainly hidden, and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It only takes two or three people with strong martial arts skills to guard the only entrance to Dubei Peak, and that is really a man who can't open it.

So he stayed and decided to occupy the mountain here, make a fortune, and be a free-spirited mountain king.

The Zeng family looks very powerful, but you can't find me, what can you do with me?

The original more than ten bandits are also outlaws who have committed crimes, but their skills are really commonplace, so in this feng shui treasure land, they will actually worry about filling their stomachs, since they have decided to stay, they must be rectified.

After more than 20 years of development, Dubeifeng has long been unrecognizable, with more than 30 sets of courtyards of blue brick houses, as well as a magnificent Juyi Hall, and more than 60 minions under his command, most of which are personally trained by the masters of Wenda, and their martial arts are extraordinary.

Over the years, dealing with the government has made the master of Wenda well aware of the danger of hard encounters, and has developed dozens of medicine woodcutters, so that they have become the eyes and ears of Dubeifeng, and receive a few dollars and broken silver every month, so that any wind and grass can reach his ears as soon as possible.

At the age of more than forty, he already has gray hair on his head, and many years of comfortable life have made the body of the head of Wenda a little blessed, but the martial arts have never been put down, and the green forest life of licking blood on the tip of the knife does not allow him to be careless, and it is impossible to fully trust the people under him.

If one day you lose your martial arts, then your life will be gone, and it is estimated that the piles of gold in the treasury and the five flower-like ladies you snatched will be divided up by the wolf-hearted things under your hands within a stick of incense.

Recently, the head of Wenda has been a little uneasy, last winter, when Gu Si, a ruffian in Fubo Town, more than fifty miles away, went up the mountain with a gift to ask for help, he agreed in the face of the expensive gift.

In fact, those gifts are secondary, he doesn't care much, the key is that the feeling of being respected is too good, and he also knows that the place where birds don't in Fubo Town, he also went there many years ago, and it is estimated that the whole town has been searched once, and he can't squeeze a few taels of oil.

So he sent two people who were competent and had extraordinary martial arts to help, who knew that this time he would become a mud cow into the sea, and Gu Si, the bastard, didn't say a word.

Could it be that there is a master in Fubo Town? But it doesn't look like it, but the older he gets, the more spicy and cautious he becomes, he still thinks it's better to be careful, and in recent months he has been patient, and has not let his men go down the mountain to hunt.

About five or six miles away from Qingniu Mountain, there is a small village called Fujia Village.

The village is not big, there are only about 20 families in total, earthen houses and thatched houses, it looks dilapidated, and there are some fields on the edge of the village, some of which have been barren, and some of which are planted with crops, lush and green, revealing a green vitality.

It's summer, and the weather is getting hotter.

Outside the village, on the yellow mud road, there was a donkey, black and white fur, carrying two bulging bags on his back, and a black knife hanging, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man walked around to enjoy the scenery, believing in the horses and horses, no, it should be the donkey by the reins, looking very comfortable.

When he was about to reach the village, a lean and lean child suddenly jumped from a lush tree at the entrance of the village, and with a panicked face, he rang a gong in his hand, and ran quickly into the village, shouting as he ran:

"The bandits are coming down! the bandits are coming down!"

Immediately the village became noisy, with several young and strong men rushing forward with hoes and sticks, and old women and children following with brooms and shovels in their hands.

The young man holding the donkey was dumbfounded, standing at the entrance of the village and walking, not walking, he could only scratch his head in embarrassment and smile unnaturally.

Of course, the young man is Lu Yi, after sending Sun Yuan'er back to Datong Commercial Bank, the two of them have been grinding for a while, the young boys and girls who have tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time are like honey and oil, and they can see that Sun Da's shopkeeper grinned, and he had to remind Lu Yi that it was almost summer, and he said that he would go out and travel?

The disliked road was ruthless, packed up softly, and stepped on the official road leading to the outside.

At first, he wanted to buy a horse, but the shopkeeper Sun Da rolled his eyes and warned him that when he first entered the rivers and lakes, the freshly dressed angry horse could easily become a fat sheep in the eyes of others, or ride a donkey honestly, not conspicuous and not jealous, and the donkeys were all found for him, fortunately, Lu Yi really didn't care about these, but Sun Yuan'er had a few awkward quarrels with his grandfather for this matter, your grandson-in-law traveled to the rivers and lakes for the first time, you don't support it, forget it, and make a stubborn donkey for him to ride?

The donkey is indeed very stubborn and walks very slowly, so Lu Yi gave it a name, called the big shopkeeper.

In this way, every time I call the big shopkeeper, I will think of the dark face of the big shopkeeper, and naturally I can think of Sun Yuan'er's coquettish face.

Lu Yi saw the excited villagers, hugged his fists and said:

"Don't misunderstand, folks, I'm just passing by, and I want to ask for a glass of water in the village, I don't have any other intentions, and I'm not a bandit. ”

The crowd dispersed, and an old man came out, with his back bent, and a crutch in his hand, which should be an elder in the village.

The old man looked at the young man carefully for a while, pointed to Qingniu Mountain not far away, and asked vigilantly:

"You're really not a bandit coming down from Qingniu Mountain?"

Lu Yi smiled and shook his head, his smile was genuine and honest.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, turned back to the crowd and said:

"Disperse, disperse, this little brother shouldn't have come down from Qingniu Mountain, let's go and get busy. ”

Lu Yi led the donkey and followed the old man and asked:

"Do the bandits in Qingniu Mountain often come down?"

The old man sighed, pointed to the fields outside the village, and said helplessly:

"Young man, there were originally fifty or sixty families in Fujia Village, and it was a big village in ten miles and eight townships, but more than 20 years ago, since the master of Wen Da, who killed a thousand knives, came, he went down the mountain to loot once or twice a year, killed people and set fires, and ruined his daughter. ”

"What about the government, doesn't it matter?"

The old man smiled bitterly and said:

"How can the government not care? But when you go into the mountains, you can't find anyone, the thieves are very good, and now there are some people who give them a tip-off, where is it so easy. ”

The old man lived in a dilapidated wooden house, the roof was covered with thatch, there were only three rooms in total, a kitchen, a hall, and the remaining one was used for living, the house was simply furnished, only some rough wooden tables and chairs, and a few hoes and shovels for farming were piled up in the corners, and nothing else.

"My father-in-law's surname?"

Lu Yi sat down on a small bench under the old man's roof.

The old man scooped a bowl of water from the water tank, handed it to Lu Yi, and said with a smile:

"The people in this village are all surnamed Fu, and everyone calls me Boss Fu, and now I am the patriarch of the village. ”

Lu Yi took the bowl and took a sip, it should be a mountain spring coming down from the mountain, and the entrance was sweet, so he took another big sip.

"Drink it, this one was picked up from the spring in the mountain! Young man, I see that you are alone, where are you going?"

Lu Yi replied with a smile:

"Go to Bac Gang County and look for ...... A relative, the first time he went out, he went off the road on the three forks over there, and he bumped into your husband by mistake, and he was thirsty, so he went into the village to ask for saliva to drink, but he didn't expect to have a misunderstanding!"

Boss Fu sat down on the stool beside Lu Yi and said helplessly:

"Where did there be such a thing before, the people in the village were hospitable, the people in the mountains, who hasn't had an inconvenient time, but now everyone is scared by the bandits, so that the little brother laughs, by the way, I haven't asked the little brother Gao's surname. ”

"Lu Yi, Uncle Fu, where is this master of Wenda in Qingniu Mountain?

Boss Fu looked around, lowered his voice and said:

"That beast doesn't know where it came from, there were more than ten bandits on the Dubei Peak of Qingniu Mountain, all of whom were exiles, but their skills were commonplace, and they didn't dare to come down to harm everyone, after the surname Wen came, they taught them martial arts, and went around robbing houses, and soon enveloped the hundred and ten people, when they went down the mountain, they robbed the valuable, and the slightly younger women were arrested, and now there are estimated eyes and ears in the nearby villages, and the officers and soldiers will go down the mountain to retaliate!"

Lu Yi asked intentionally or unintentionally:

"Dubei Peak, where is it in Qingniu Mountain? Barren mountains and mountains, it is estimated that you can't find it in a few places where you go in. ”

Boss Fu nodded, and then said:

As long as one thief is not killed, the officers and men will be unlucky when they leave! Moreover, the one-backed peak is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also easy to escape into the vast mountains, and the officers and men have not been able to bargain for any time. ”

"I see!, Uncle Fu, you still haven't said where Dubei Peak is?"

Boss Fu looked at Lu Yi again and persuaded:

"I see that you have a knife hanging on your donkey, don't you want to learn from those great chivalrous men who kill traitors and eliminate evil? Listen to your uncle's advice, let's go! You can't beat them when you go into the mountains. ”

Lu Yi shook his head with a smile and said:

"I don't plan to do chivalry, I'm just a little superficial, I'm just curious. ”

The old man saw that what Lu Yi said was not like a fake, so he drew a sketch on the ground with a wooden stick, and put the location of Dubei Peak and the route into the mountain one by one, and Lu Yi secretly remembered it with his heart.

Lu Yi chatted with the old man for a while, left a handful of copper coins, got up to say goodbye, led the donkey along the yellow mud road and slowly left, and gradually disappeared into the mountains and jungles.
