Ren said: "There have been robbers in the Evil Tiger Forest recently, Brother Liu, you have to be careful." Liu said: "There is really such a thing." Ren said: "What did I lie to you, the jewelry merchant was killed, and the jewelry was taken away by robbers." Liu said: "It's terrible." Zhang Lingyu turned around and accosted: "Uncle, how far is this evil tiger forest from here." Ren said: "Twenty miles north from here is the Evil Tiger Forest, and I am not a local when I listen to the accent of the son." Lingyu said: "We are passing by here on business, and we heard that there are often robbers in this evil tiger forest, and I don't know if there is a fixed day for the appearance of the strong road." Ren said with a smile: "Son, you are really good at laughing, how can there be robbers and robbers, what fixed day should you choose." After pondering for a while, he came to his senses: "If Childe had not said so, we would not have noticed that the robbers were either jewelers or rich and wealthy merchants, and some small traders were also robbed along with the rich merchants, and we have never heard of ordinary pedestrians and small traders being robbed." ’

Zhang Lingyu said: "This shows that someone specially inquires about the situation for the robbers, and they only do it when there is a big deal." Ren said: "What Gongzi said is quite reasonable, they can't spend half a year off like this." Lingyu stood up and clenched his fists and said to the guests at each table: "We are just doing a small jewelry business, and I hope that all friends can help us keep a secret, otherwise we will be in trouble if the thieves know about us." Ren said: "That's a certainty." Others chimed in and said they would never divulge the secret. Lingyu hugged his fists again and said, "Thank you in advance here, everyone's wine money tonight will be counted in my account." Liu said: "Son, which dart bureau are you hiring, why don't you have a dart flag?" ’

Zhang Lingyu said: "We didn't hire a dart master. They are all partners. Liu said: "I see that you all carry swords and are you still afraid of a few bandits." Lingyu said: "We are all three-legged kung fu. It's okay to scare the little thief with a sword. If you meet a real robber, you won't be able to. Everyone in the dining hall laughed, and Ren secretly said: "I think you are a fool, and you tell others to keep it secret, how can it be, not only can it not be kept secret, but it may spread faster." ’

Zhang Lingyu turned around and sat down and said, "Second brother, let's have a toast." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it, Tong Yunfei and Chang Yue'e also picked up the wine glass and drank it. Lingyu and the others went back to the room when they were full of wine and food. Zhao Laogen's family also went back to the room to rest.

Chang Yue'e and the others all came to Lingyu's room, Lingyu lit the oil lamp, and Ma Junlan couldn't wait to speak: "Big brother, I can't figure it out, we are just on the way, you say that you are a jeweler, isn't this clearly asking robbers to come to us for trouble." Chang Yue'e smiled: "Sister Lan, you are right, Brother Yu just wants to call the thieves to trouble us, so we can clean them up." Ma Junlan was a little embarrassed and said, "I see." Big brother, am I stupid? Lingyu sat at the table and took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Little sister." You're not stupid, your first instinct is to care about our safety. Ma Junlan smiled: "It's still the eldest brother who understands my thoughts." ’

Tong Yunfei said with a smile: "I think it's stupid, who are we afraid of with the big brother, what is there to be afraid of a few little robbers." Ma Junlan said hurriedly when she heard this: "I'm just stupid, you're not a thief yet, you're not even a big thief." Lingyu smiled: "Okay, little sister don't quarrel." Ma Junlan was out of breath.

Zhang Lingyu said to Tong Yunfei again: "The words of the second brother can't be said like that, as the saying goes, there are mountains outside the mountain, a mountain is higher than a mountain, there are capable people behind the capable people, no one dares to say that he is the first in the world, even if he is invincible for a while, it is just that the opponent did not appear." Tong Yunfei said: "The eldest brother taught me a lesson, and the younger brother wrote it down." Lingyu said: "Let's hurry up and rest, there may be another fight tomorrow." Chang Yue'e and the others all went back to their rooms to rest.

After a few people left, Zhang Lingyu cleaned up the bed, sat down to drink a cup of tea, and then walked over to close the door, and as soon as the door was halfway closed, a petite and delicate figure flashed into the room. Lingyu bolted the door, turned around and said with a smile: "Sister Yan, why are you back again, you forgot to take something." Hao Yanjiao's face was slightly red, and she smiled coquettishly: "Yes, I forgot to bring my eldest brother back to the room, so I came back." After speaking, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hang Lingyu's neck, looked at Lingyu and said, "I haven't had a chance to be alone with you these days, and everyone wants to kill you." Lingyu wrapped her arms around her, kissed her on the forehead, and smiled, "I miss you too." Hao Yanjiao said: "I'm afraid that the eldest brother only thinks about Sister E, and has forgotten the younger sister a long time ago." Lingyu said: "How can it be, I have been thinking about you in my dreams." After speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her little mouth, and after kissing for a while, Hao Yan said dreamily: "I won't go back tonight, just rest here." Lingyu put her arms around him and whispered, "As long as you want, I have no opinion." ’

Before dawn the next day, Hao Yan went back to her room. After dawn, everyone went to the dining hall to eat after freshening up, and after eating, they set off on their way, and it turned out that a few guests who were heading north saw Lingyu and they were leaving, but a few guests did not leave. Lingyu said to those people: "Aren't you guys also going to the capital, so you can take care of them when you go with us." One of those people said, "If there are too many people, we can't take care of them, but there are just a few more unjust ghosts, and we don't want to unjustly die ghosts." Tong Yunfei smiled and said, "What are you afraid of, we all come with swords, if there is really a robber, we will kill him and never return." The man smiled and said, "Last time, those two jewelry merchants also pretended to be Jianghu people with swords and swords, but they didn't die and tired others. Lingyu said: "Since we won't persuade you anymore, then we will leave first." The man said, 'I wish you all the best to take care of your journey.' Zhao Laogen's family walked in front of them in a carriage, and Zhang Lingyu and they followed behind on horseback.

Zhao Laogen's family sat in the car and chatted while walking, Ye Ziniang sighed and said: "Our family is really miserable, just out of the tiger's den and looking at it again, we are about to enter Longtan, knowing that there are robbers, Zhang Gongzi still wants to leave." Ye Zi said: "Mother, don't talk nonsense, Zhang Gongzi and they are all heroes of the rivers and lakes, all of them are strong in martial arts, why not be afraid of a few robbers, they are not jewelers at all, Zhang Gongzi must have his reason for saying this." Zhao Tusheng said: "My sister is right, how can a jewelry merchant care about the life and death of us poor people, only a real charlatan would do this." Ye Zi said: "So you don't have to be afraid, mother. Ye Ziniang said: "I am concerned about your safety, and it doesn't matter if my old woman is dead or alive." Ye Zi said: "Zhang Gongzi's life is much more expensive than our gold, no one is afraid, what are we afraid of." Tusheng said: "What my sister said is reasonable, mother, you can rest assured." ’

Zhang Lingyu and the others were walking together, and saw that there were hills and ridges in the distance, and the woods were dense, Ma Junlan said: "Big brother, do you see if there will be a Vicious Tiger Forest in the distance." Lingyu said, "I think it should be." (To be continued......)
