Chapter 8 Entering the rivers and lakes for the first time
The entrance of the village was crowded, and I don't know when three to five hundred people had gathered.
Murong Xue walked like a fly, ran to the entrance of the village, and saw that a group of people were holding farm tools in their hands, piled up in one place, all trembling, looking left and right, and talking to each other.
Another group of people stood far away, their faces were full of sorrow, one of them wore a brocade hat, wore a red robe, and pedaled long boots, standing on the stone pillar and shouting: "Fellow villagers, the strongman is brutal, if you kill into the village, you will not be left behind, but you don't have to be afraid, we have the right time, place and people, as long as we unite as one, fight bravely to kill the enemy, we will be able to defend our homeland, I promise, kill the strongman, and give you free twenty percent of the land rent." ”
Murong Xue walked over and patted the person who spoke lightly, "This brother, are you defending against a strongman?" The man rolled his strange eyes, and saw that it was a descendant of coarse linen, and waved his hand impatiently and scolded: "Go, go!"
Murong Xue was helpless, and asked a few more people, but they all looked at him with disdain and ignored him.
Seeing that these people were so rude, Murong Xue was angry and turned around and walked back. Passing by a farmhouse, I heard a cry coming from inside. A girl cried: "Mother, will Daddy die, Mother, I'm afraid! Mother, I'm afraid!"
Murong Xue's heart was shocked, she bit her lip, sighed, turned around and walked towards the bridge.
Murong Xue walked through the crowd to the bridge, jumped on the drum stone, and shouted: "Han people, listen, you are not strong opponents, don't sacrifice needlessly!"
When the crowd heard a loud shout, they were all taken aback, and suddenly they were silent, and they all looked at him, and one of them shouted: "Housheng, who are you?"
Murong Xue's expression was cold, he jumped off the stone, pulled out the divine sword from his back, and swung the sword away, and with a bang, the drum stone with thick legs was neatly swung in half by him, and the upper half flew into the river. Everyone was shocked.
The group of people from afar ran over, fell to the ground together with everyone at the entrance of the village, and said in unison: "Young man is brave, help, save my life!"
Murong Xue said with a smile: "You guys get up and tell me how many strongmen there are?"
The man who shouted just now stepped forward, bent down and said, "Young man, there are about five or six hundred strong men. ”
Murong Xue thought for a moment and said, "Promise me something, and I will save you." ”
The man hurriedly said, "The young man commands." ”
Murong Xue looked at the back of the village and said in a deep voice: "Your mother-in-law at the back of the village is lonely and pitiful, if you want me to help you kill the strongman, you must promise me to give her three meals a day, so that she can eat enough, not cold, not hot, and raise her for the rest of her life." Do you still want to do it?"
Everyone said in unison: "Yide, Yide!"
Murong Xue said coldly: "You are not allowed to repent, if you repent, I will not spare you." Everyone said in unison: "Don't dare, don't dare, Shaoxia can rest assured." ”
Murong Xue waved her hand, "You guys are standing twenty steps behind me." ”
The men thanked them and went to stand in the back.
Murong Xue walked onto the wooden bridge, holding the divine sword, standing proudly. The evening breeze blew his long hair flying in his ears, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on his handsome face, like an iron-blooded hero.
The sun set, the whole village was shrouded in darkness, suddenly a sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and in a moment, countless torches flashed out of the woods, and the group of strongmen roared over, there were as many as six or seven hundred, and the leader of the strongmen shouted: "Little ones, rush into Yaning Village, pick that rich man to rob me!"
As soon as the minions approached the village, they suddenly saw Murong Xue standing on the bridge with a divine sword in his hand, although he was coarse and linen, he was like a god in the firelight, majestic and majestic, and he didn't dare to move forward for a while.
The leader stepped forward immediately, looked at Murong Xue, and smiled coldly, "Boy, are you standing here trying to find death?" Murong Xue was calm, didn't speak, and slowly beckoned to the leader.
The leader saw that he was imposing, and he was timid in his heart, but everyone saw it, so he had to drive off the bridge with a hard head, holding a steel knife, pointing at Murong Xue and scolding: "Little bastard, get out!"
Murong Xue stood in the wind, calmly, and said in a deep voice: "You listen to my words and leave quickly, so as not to be on the spot." ”
The leader laughed, "Little rabbit cub, are you scared to be a grandfather?" Before the words fell, the big knife slashed at the top of Murong Xue's head, Murong Xue hurriedly fought his sword to meet it, the blades collided, and the big knife was suddenly broken into two pieces.
The leader was surprised to himself, Murong Xue no longer showed mercy, jumped up, waved the divine sword, only to see a cold light passing by, the leader didn't have time to shout, suddenly, the head slowly left the body, fell to the ground, rolled a few times, fell into the river, splashed a splash.
The minions were stunned and stunned, Murong Xue waved his sword and shouted: "If you don't leave quickly, dare to come again, this is the end." The minions shouted violently: "The second master is dead, nonsense!" After a while, they all ran away without a trace.
Everyone in the village was shocked, and for a moment, they all cheered, threw away the farm tools, and ran over to surround Murong Xue, who inserted the divine sword back into the scabbard, shook off everyone, and returned to the back of the village alone.
Guan Yuqing saw that Murong Xue hadn't come back for a long time, she was so anxious that she went out to watch from time to time, Murong Xue had just entered the house, Guan Yuqing hurriedly got up, "Big brother, what's going on?"
Murong Xue saw her anxious expression, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, the strongman has already retreated." ”
Guan Yuqing was relieved, and the three of them ate some dry food and slept in their clothes.
Early in the morning of the second day, when the sun was rising, Guan Yuqing left all the dry food for the old woman, and left ten taels of silver, and the two of them left and went on the road.
Before he arrived at the entrance of the village, the man came to him last night, and he bowed his hand from afar, walked closer, and said with a smile on his face: "Little brother is wise and brave, he is really young and promising, admire and admire!"
Murong Xue sneered, "It's too famous." The man smiled again, "I, Gu Xinjiang, am the Baozheng of this village, and I haven't asked for advice yet." ”
Murong Xue felt a little impatient, and replied indifferently: "Murong Xue is down." ”
Gu Xinjiang looked at the carriage, "Little brother, where are you going?"
"Please don't forget what you promised yesterday. It's a long way to go down to Chengdu Mansion, so it's a long way to go!" Murong Xue said that he was about to leave with his horse, but Gu Xinjiang hurriedly stopped him, and squeezed out more smiles, "Little brother, go slowly, I still have something to ask for." ”
Murong Xue was deeply bored, and said coldly: "What else is going on?" Gu Xinjiang suddenly had a sad face, "It is reported that the strongman will come tonight, I have thought hard, there is no way to retreat from the enemy, and I beg the little brother to stay for another day." ”
Murong Xue laughed, "Kill tonight, if you come back tomorrow night." Do you want to leave me here to show you the home and nursing home? I think it is the long-term solution for you to go to the government office. ”
Gu Xinjiang hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, on behalf of hundreds of families in the village, I implore the little brother to kill all the thieves, otherwise our village will be killed, and no one will be spared!"
Murong Xue couldn't help but be silent, thought for a moment, and had a plan. Then he said to Gu Xinjiang: "Before you ...... at night Such and such. ”
When Gu Xinjiang heard this, he was overjoyed and turned around to make arrangements.
Murong Xue shook her head and said to the person in the car: "Yuqing, let's stay for another day, this mountain is very beautiful, let's go up the mountain and take a look." When Guan Yuqing heard this, she was overjoyed, poked her head out of the car, and nodded with a smile.
The two parked the carriage in front of the old woman's house, wrapped it in the house, Murong Xue carried the divine sword, Guan Yuqing happily, took his arm, and paced up the mountain.
