Chapter 121: The Last Cliff
Zhou Tong and his entourage left the official road, took the path, and came to the corner of Taihang Mountain, at the foot of the mountain, about 20 or so households, and the simple village sign was written with two words that were a little twisted and twisted: the end of the cliff. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info I guess this is the name of the village, the end of the cliff, a very good name, watching the autumn wind falling wood, Xiaoxiao Wanwan, a kind of sad elegance. The layout of the village is also very interesting, facing each other, winding along the foot of the mountain in a neat and orderly manner.
Zhou Tong stopped and said, "The environment here is good, it's very comfortable, what do you think?"
Zhou Yunqing said: "Dad, the environment here is good, as you said it is very comfortable, but there are only twenty households, is it a little too lonely, and it is far away from the city." ”
Pang He said: "The scenery is very good, does the master want to be here?"
Zhou Tong said: "No, I'm just very envious, envious that they can live a very comfortable life, although away from the prosperity, it seems a little lonely, as long as this life is safe, it will not lose a kind of happiness! ”
Pang He and Yun Qing nodded and went to the village to greet them, the villagers seemed very enthusiastic, and under the leadership of the village chief, the whole village gathered together to set up a banquet to entertain them. It's really a paradise, and there is no smoke sales. The banquet was not as good as Su Ji, there was also wine and meat, and everyone cheered and drank, and they were happy. At the wine table, the village chief said to Zhou Tong: "Here, although there are only 28 households, basically everyone has their own occupation, there are farmers, hunters, blacksmiths, carpenters, gentlemen, and so on. It can be said that although the sparrow is small, she has all kinds of organs, you see, she is a weaver, and he is a doctor, and he is the head of the militia in our village..."
Zhou Tong hurriedly asked: "Militia chief, village chief, is this for?"
The village chief sighed: "The village has its own livelihood, because we have to pay taxes, we will arrange some militia to take the things produced in the village to the market to sell." Originally, there were no bandits, but later, I don't know when a group of people came who specialized in robbery, although they said that they would not kill people, but only rob property, but they robbed us of what we sold in the market, and we used what to pay taxes to the government. As a last resort, we organized the young people in the village to protect them along the road. As long as we don't run into a large group of bandits, we can all sell them for money!"
Zhou Tong heard it: "This, doesn't the government care?"
The village chief said: "Whatever, as long as they can receive taxes, where can they care about this." If you can't get it, you will go to the village and grab it. We went to report the case a few times, and they didn't care about us at all. ”
Zhou Dong and the others were really angry when they heard this: "Is this still an official? I only know how to get money from the people, and I am simply a group of white-eyed wolves!"
The village chief said: "No, it's okay, our village is working together, and we can still get by." ”
Zhou Tong said: "It's not a way to go on like this. ”
The village chief wondered, "What else can be done?"
Zhou Tong asked, "I don't know where this gang of bandits, how many people there are?"
The village chief waved his hand and said, "Li Yuan, come here!"
The young man named Li Yuan stood up, burly, energetic, and enthusiastic, and as soon as the village chief called, he ran over: "Village chief, what's the matter?"
The village chief said, "Do you know the specific situation of the gang of bandits who intercepted us, for example, how many people there were, and where?"
Li Yuan blinked: "There are more than thirty people in total, I don't know where they are, they all move around, sometimes they run into each other, there are many people, we can't beat them, so we can only give them things." ”
Zhou Tong said: "It seems that there are not many of them, so let's lead the snake out of the hole." ”
The village chief trembled: "This must not be, they are bandits, we are just ordinary people, I can't let them die in vain!"
Zhou Tong said: "Village chief, I forgot to tell you that I was the head of the 100,000 forbidden army, this is my son, and he is my apprentice." We came here, and the village chief entertained us like this, and we didn't want to solve this problem for this village. Please believe me, I will give the village chief a satisfactory explanation!"
The village chief was shocked: "You are the head of the 800,000 forbidden army?"
"Exactly!" Zhou Tong said: "However, this is also the past." ”
When Li Yuan heard Zhou Tong say this, his blood boiled: "Really, great, I have long seen that these bandits are not pleasing to the eye, in broad daylight, they still cover their faces, and they are doing unsightly things." ”
Zhou Tong suggested: "In this way, let's take stock of the weapons in the village tomorrow, put them on the carriage, attract them to come, and then capture them." ”
Li Yuan said happily: "Okay, just do it!"
Zhou Tong also said happily: "Little brother Li Yuan, I will rely on you tomorrow!"
The village chief is still a little worried: "I'm afraid, if I offend this group, the people in the village will suffer!"
Without waiting for Zhou Tong to speak, Li Yuan preemptively said: "Village chief, we have long been fed up with this gas, and they have made a miasma, if we don't eliminate them, our village will wait for them to grab the entrance of the village in the future!"
Zhou Tong continued: "Yes, little brother Li Yuan, that's right." If it's once or twice, that's fine. But now, they have been making a living from it for a long time, and if they have no livelihood, they will inevitably rush to the village. ”
"I know what you said!" said the village chief, "but in my heart, there is always some worry, worrying about what will happen!"
Zhou Tong said: "Village chief, you don't have to worry, all these consequences will be borne by me Zhou!"
Li Yuan refused now: "This is a matter in our village, how can you be an outsider, there are not many people in our village, but it is not easy to bully." ”
Everyone at the table agreed, and they all said that they wanted to eradicate this gang of bandits.
This is the end of the dinner in which we discuss how to get rid of the bandits. Pang He is also enthusiastic, isn't this just chivalrous righteousness, looking forward to tomorrow, what kind of hero he is, a little intoxicated. Su Ying looked at Pang He's confused appearance and asked, "What are you thinking, you seem to be very intoxicated?"
Pang He came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's nothing." ”
"It's nothing, you're still so intoxicated, tell me honestly, what do you think?" Su Ying asked.
Pang He said: "It's nothing, it's just that I want to think of something happy and happy!"
Su Ying still didn't give up and asked, "Happy, happy, what's the matter, say!"
Pang He faced Su Ying's desperate pursuit, so he had to give up resistance: "I'm thinking, tomorrow, I can work with my master to help the villagers get rid of the bandits." ”
"No, you're intoxicated with these?" asked Su Ying in disbelief.
"Alright, go to bed early, tomorrow, we're going to help the villagers deal with the bandits." Pang He said.
Su Ying twisted Pang He: "I know how to pretend to be asleep!"
Pang He's "ah" resounded at the foot of the mountain, and twenty-eight families were shocked.
