Shui Ruohan was silent and did not answer.

After a while, he asked, "The gang wearing the yellow scarf, but the bandits?" The bearded man nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly." Shui Ruohan said: "The bandits are dressed up, I saw them when I was a child, and when I think about it, I vaguely remember that every time my parents came to the capital to see us, they often mentioned the bandits to us, so after I made up my mind, I shot the one wearing a yellow scarf." When the bearded man heard this, he laughed and said, "The virtuous nephew is really wise and brave, and he shot and killed a leader in the bandit gang as soon as he made a move, and he made a great contribution to the gang, and he should be rewarded." As he spoke, there was another burst of laughter.

Shui Ruohan said: "Our five brothers learned martial arts, originally to kill the bandits, this is a matter of duty, and there is no need to praise it too much." The bearded man was strange and asked, "Are you five people?" Shui Ruohan smiled and nodded.

The bearded man looked at Shui Ruohan with wide eyes for a while, and said with a smile: "I remember, when the former Sui gang leader was in power, he sent five children to the capital to learn art, isn't it you?

Shui Ruohan said: "When we passed through Yinghao Town, we saw a group of ruffians bullying a villager who sold fruits, counting the heads, there were fifteen or sixteen, my eldest brother sent them away, the third brother must have something to deal with, let me come back first to explore the way, I came alone." ”

The bearded man suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity." Shui Ruohan was puzzled and asked, "What is a pity?" The bearded man sighed: "It's a pity that although the five virtuous nephews are highly skilled, they are not members of the gang, and the thieves often come to harass them, but there are few good people in the gang, so they can't deal with it, and there are ......" and said two "and", but suddenly stopped talking. Shui Ruohan said: "What else?" The bearded man just sighed and didn't speak, looking at his expression, it seemed that there was something unsightly, and it was difficult to speak. After a while, he said: "Virtuous nephew, since you have returned to the village, you will join the gang to do things, assist the seat, deal with the enemy, and enjoy the glory and wealth in the future." Shui Ruohan thought for a while and said, "Our five brothers came back this time, mainly to visit relatives, and in a few days, we will go back to the master's gate, and we can only talk about it later." When the man heard this, the muscles on his face trembled, his face showed displeasure, and he said in a low voice: "In this case, this matter will be discussed later." ”

During the conversation, he arrived at a village early, and the bearded man pointed with his finger and said, "This is the Hero Village." "When Shui Ruohan looked at it, it was the place he had just been. Looking around, I saw broken walls and tiles, mud and potholes, the doors of the houses were closed, and half a figure was missing.

At this time, a thin man on a horse said loudly: "The bandits have retreated, everyone should come out." The mouth was slightly open, and the voice was silent, but the voice spread far away, and it could be heard from a hundred feet away, and the words were clear and legible. Shui Ruohan was taken aback, his eyes couldn't help but look at the man, and he said in his heart: What a strong internal force.

After looking at it for a while, I was thinking to myself, and the door of the opposite house opened with a "ah", and a middle-aged couple walked out. Shui Ruohan heard that the villagers opened the door one after another, turned their heads and looked, the couple before meeting, the man was handsome, and the woman was dignified and beautiful, both of them were thirty-five or sixteen years old, wearing coarse cloth shirts, and under surprise, they shouted: "Daddy, Mom." He jumped off his horse and threw himself forward. The couple looked up and took a closer look, and when they saw that it was their son, they were immediately excited, and shouted: "Han'er!"

The bearded man watched the reunion of the three and sighed: "The family reunion, flesh and blood are connected, it is really gratifying." The words were full of envy. The middle-aged man heard the bearded man speak, glanced at him, spread his hand, wiped his red eyes, made a gesture, signaled the mother and son to stop hugging, and stood respectfully without saying a word. This middle-aged man is Shui Ruohan's father.

The bearded man laughed and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a "click", and a lightning bolt pierced the sky, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark sky. Immediately followed by a "boom", the explosion thundered violently, and several in a row, rolling in, not loud. The bearded man looked up at the sky, knew that it was a rainstorm, and untied a skin bag from his body, puffed up, and said, "Take it." "Throw it at the water-stained door.

Shui Ruohan saw that something was smashed at his father, afraid that his father would be injured, so his right hand reached out, grasped it firmly into a claw, and held it firmly in his hand. When the bearded man saw this kung fu, he secretly praised it and said with a smile: "There is a hundred taels of silver in this leather bag, and I have less to carry with me in this seat, so I will make up for it another day." With that, he turned his horse's head and galloped away. Seeing that the helper was gone, the rest of the people trotted all the way to follow.

The three of them stood outside the house, watching everyone go far away, and the sky was full of lightning and thunder, and the wind blew their clothes fluttering and whirring. Shui Marks took his wife's hand with his left hand and his son's hand with his right hand, stepped into the house quickly, closed the wooden door, and took the latch to plug it in.

In an instant, soybean-sized raindrops fell rapidly, falling from mid-air, down the window, and straight into the house. There were two small windows in the house, both of which were open, and the water mark went to close one, and his wife Huajiao also went to close one, turned around and said, "Han'er, sit down." I haven't seen you for a long time, my parents miss it so much, let my parents take a good look. Shui Ruohan said "oh", walked to the table, found a stool, and sat down. The water mark sat down. Hua Jiao saw that it was dark, so she went to the cupboard and took out a candle, and with the help of the firewood burning on the stove, she lit the candle with a "snort", walked to the table, and placed the candle horizontally, so that the wax oil dripped in the middle of the wooden table. After a few drops, he stuck the candle in the wax oil vertically, and sat down, looking at his son's face with a look of joy. The water mark also generally has to look at his son, and he can't make a sound of laughter.

Shui Ruohan looked at his parents with a smile, looked around, and saw that the furnishings in the room were extremely simple, with a square wooden table in the center, a white blue and white teapot on it, and four teacups. A bench is placed on each side of the wooden table, which is short and rough. When I looked at it from the east, I saw that there was a wooden bed with a tent hanging on the periphery, which looked relatively clean. On the south side is a small cabinet, which is also made of rough material. There is a stove in the west, the stove is red, obviously there is burning firewood, at this time it is "crackling", and there is a large bundle of firewood stacked on the side of the stove, dry and neat. Although the house is not big, it is very neat and refreshing, and it is obvious that the owner prefers to be clean.
