Chapter 52: Three Hundred Warriors (Part II)
Zhang Fan saw Zhang Sanju and Wang Lao Wu leaving, so he and Situ Shang walked back along the alley, and saw that the pots and pans that had been used to boil medicine and rice porridge had been taken away, and at the same time, the originally dense victims in the entire Xicheng were almost gone, so he asked Situ Shang: "Old man, why are these victims so busy, and they will almost be gone after a while." Don't they live here?" the old man smiled: "Childe, you stay in the mountains all year round and don't know what is going on in the city. Shuoyue City was originally an important city for trading between Qi and Rong, and if it was prosperous, it was second only to Anxi City in Liangzhou. This time the plague struck, although hundreds of thousands of Li people died, but for the entire Shuoyue City, it was less than a percent, but it made those giant businessmen and dignitaries into a snake. Ordinary Li people, most of them are more or less inseparable from the giant businessmen and rich people, the previous businessmen hid, ordinary people did not produce, and suddenly became without food and clothing, and there was a threat of disease, countless Li people died one after another, and the situation was miserable. When Zhang Fan heard this, he sighed: "In order to achieve their despicable goals, those careerists ignored the death of the poor and released poisons, turning hundreds of thousands of people into bones.
The wealthy businessmen have a lot of wealth, and they are not controlled by others, and their every move affects the hearts of countless Li people, and countless lives are ruined by the lightest. In order to survive, hundreds of people have become a tool for others to collect money in their ignorance, and in the end, life and death are up to others, which is really sad and lamentable. Situ Shang smiled: "Childe, you don't need to sigh. The world originally follows the law of the law of the jungle, and we only have the right to survive if we are stronger than others, otherwise we will be oppressed by others after all, which is a fact that can never be changed. Since you have chosen the way of the human emperor, you should cheer up, act decisively, and give all the people in the world a clear blue sky. When Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled and said, "Yes, now I have no turning back, and I must keep moving forward." ”
"Big brother, are you back? We've been waiting for you for a long time. Suddenly, several female voices came. Zhang Fan looked up and found that he had returned to the previous place, the black wind was still leisurely basking in the sun, squinting his eyes to nourish his spirits, and dozens of girls in gray clothes were looking at him blankly, so he asked out loud: "Sisters, are you okay? Why don't you go back?" The girl heard this, crying: "Big brother, our relatives are gone, and I don't know how to make a living, I heard that the big brother is willing to take us in, so I asked the sisters to come to the big brother." Big brother, we can cook, sew clothes, and help you wash your clothes, so you can accept us, right?" The women also said coquettishly: "Engong, we really have no way out, and we don't want to go to ** as a prostitute, we are willing to serve Engong for the rest of our lives, and ask Engong to take them in." Zhang Fan shouted in his heart: "Nani, there is actually a girl who took the initiative to send it to the door, isn't this a sheep into the wolf's den, quack, take it all." When he saw that the young women of his twenties and thirties were in tatters, he felt pity for them, and thought that he had no shortage of food and clothing, and that his cultivation was profound, and that it would not be a problem to protect them, so he said: "Okay, big brother, it's too late for me to welcome them, so why don't I want you? This is a hundred thousand taels of silver tickets, and you should use them for the needs of daily life, and at the same time buy some food and clothing." As he spoke, he pulled out a dozen thick silver tickets and handed them them. Seeing this, the women immediately smiled happily and said in unison: "Gongzi Xie." Then he took the silver ticket and left. Seeing this, Zhang Fan shouted in his heart: "What's the matter, I didn't agree yet, so I left?" He didn't say much when he saw everyone going to buy supplies. Situ Shang said with a smile: "Childe, this time you will be shouldering the lives of hundreds of people, you can't spend the money indiscriminately, and you have to find a suitable livelihood, otherwise you will spend all the gold and silver one day." Zhang Fan smiled: "Old man, it's okay." I know in my heart that gold and silver are other than the things themselves, and now everyone can't solve the problem of food and clothing, so what are you doing with saving gold and silver? As for making a living, I'll think about it. ”
"Engong, my Wang Lao Wu is back!" Just as Zhang Fan was discussing things with Situ Shang, a shout came from the alley. When Zhang Fan heard this, he thought: "You turtle son, can't you scream so ugly, you are simply a street vendor." He turned around and saw a large group of warriors dressed in new coarse gray clothes and carrying large swords approaching him. Those martial artists look very strong, and their cultivation is from the Bone Refining Realm to the Pulse Refining Realm, all of them are extraordinary, obviously not the victims who were lying on the ground before, but like the bandits who have just come back from looting. When Wang Lao Wuyi came to Zhang Fan, he said excitedly: "Lord, you see that these friends of mine are not bad, right? I said that I will definitely satisfy you, hehe." Zhang Fan couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Wang Lao Wu, you are all strong and strong, not like people in this Xicheng." Wang Lao Wu smiled and said: "Lord, your subordinates won't lie to you, they are all often mixed in Shuoyue City, but the plague a few months ago was too scary, I don't know why some martial artists with advanced cultivation have fallen ill, and the brothers don't dare to come out to move." Today, everyone heard that you have solved countless things that doctors can't solve, and I admire you even more in my heart. When everyone heard this, they said in unison: "The subordinates pay a visit to Engong!" Engong is benevolent and righteous, and his righteousness is thin and cloudy, and his subordinates admire him, and he is willing to follow Engong and go to the soup to fight the fire. ”
Seeing this, Zhang Fan said in his heart: "Grandma, how can the master look like the boss of the underworld, he has accepted a group of younger brothers, begging for protection money from door to door on the street, and also peeking at the beauties on the side of the road by the way, hey!" He saw everyone greeting him, and said loudly: "Brothers, don't be polite." I, Zhang Fan, have a little medical skills, and when I saw the people suffering, I stepped forward to save them, which is what I should do, and I can't afford to be a hero. Now that the brothers are willing to believe in Zhang and follow Zhang, Zhang will not let the brothers down. Now do the brothers have a place to live?" Wang Lao Wu heard this, and hurriedly said: "Lord, you don't have to worry, we have a mountain field outside Shuoyue City, and there are dozens of places to live in the city, you don't have to worry. When Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, since I have a place to live, then I don't have to worry about it for the time being." Wang Lao Wu said again: "Lord, now that you are in Shuoyue City, let's go to the mountain field to have a look, you will definitely be satisfied." Zhang Fan smiled: "Old Five, don't worry, I still have a group of maids going out to buy things, let's wait for them for a while." When they heard this, they replied, "Yes!"
After a while, thirty-six maids wearing green cloth skirts came back with several carts of rice oil and other daily necessities, and they saw a large group of big men standing beside Gongzi from afar, and hurriedly asked: "Gongzi, what's wrong? Why are there so many people around you?" Zhang Fanlang laughed loudly: "Don't be afraid, they are my new subordinates." We'll be back to the village in a moment. The maids were full of suspicions, and thought: "When did Gongzi accept the younger brother, why don't we know? But they wanted to think about it, so they didn't ask much, they just quickened their pace and walked briskly towards Zhang Fan.
When Zhang Fan saw the maid coming back, he turned his head to the warriors in front of him and said, "Brothers, you can divide a few people to help bring the things, let's go to the cottage." Wang Lao Wu hurriedly replied: "Lord, don't worry, leave this matter to me to deal with, you can get on the horse quickly." Zhang Fan showed a slight look of doubt on his face, and asked, "Old Five, did you bring horses or carriages?" Wang Lao Wu replied: "Yes, my lord." The subordinates had put their horses in the hall on the west side. We can ride back to the village in the past. You can get on the horse first, and the rest of the things will be reported to you slowly on the way. Zhang Fan nodded, then turned to the maid and said, "Sisters, after a while, the fifth child will arrange horses for you." Now let's go back to the village. Then Zhang Fan got on the horse, rode the black wind and led the warriors to the west for hundreds of meters, and came to a hall called "Tianyitang".
When a warrior saw Zhang Fan coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Subordinate Zeiss has come to see the lord, and the horses have already been prepared." Seeing this, Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Zeiss replied in panic: "This is the responsibility of subordinates." Zhang Fan waved his hand to signal him to go down, and then said to the warriors and maids: "Everyone get on the horse, we will be in the village." Then all the warriors and maids mounted their horses, and the group of hundreds of people marched westward.
It took them more than half an hour to cross dozens of uphill slopes and over a few wildernesses, and at last they saw several steep peaks in front of them, and a dirt road extending from the plains to the highest mountain in the middle, disappearing into the dense woods. Seeing this, Wang Lao Wu said loudly: "Lord, the road ahead leads to our Qinglong Village." Our Qinglong Village is on the mountain in the middle. We just had to go up the hill, through the woods, and turn a few corners. Zhang Fan laughed loudly and said, "Okay! Let's go." Drive!"
Everyone rode all the way up the hillside, and soon came to a gentle place halfway up the mountainside, only to see the surrounding trees leaving a long black shadow on the ground under the illumination of the setting sun, and the birds that returned late had already returned to the forest, chirping non-stop, the warm wind blew through, rolling up the thick yellow leaves on the ground, and several roosters and dogs barking mixed with the sound of people's voices came from the front. Zhang Fan looked at the hundreds of wooden houses on the gentle slope in front of him, and saw the smoke rising from the chimney, but there was no trace of pedestrian activity.
Seeing this, Wang Lao Wu hurriedly explained: "Lord, although there are many warriors in our cottage, there are not many miscellaneous servants, and some of the brothers who stayed in the cottage have their own tasks, so they look a little cold. Zhang Fan nodded when he heard this.
At this moment, several crossbowmen jumped down from the tree, knelt down on one knee in front of Wang Lao Wu, and said loudly: "Crossbowmen Li Tianjian (Wang Honghuo, Cai Jun) participate in the king leader and welcome the king leader back to the mountain." When Wang Lao Wu heard this, his black face twitched, and he pointed at Zhang Fan and said: "Now that my Wang Lao Wu has worshiped Zhang Fan and Zhang Gongzi as the master, you should quickly see the new leader." When several people heard this, they hurriedly saluted Zhang Fan and said, "See the leader!" Seeing this, Zhang Fan smiled and said, "No need to be polite, you continue to monitor the surroundings." The crossbowman replied, "Yes, chief." Then he leaped lightly, went up to the treetops, and hid himself in the dense forest.
Everyone continued to ride forward, a few minutes later came to the gate of the cottage, saw a high five or six zhang, two or three zhang wide Dazhai door hanging a sandalwood plaque, on the book "Qinglong Village" three ancient seal characters, so that the simple gate looks a little domineering, is wild. Everyone got off their horses, and several servants came up to take the horses away, and Zhang Fan took Situ Shang, the maids, and the warriors into the gate.
"Yo, Brother Wang is back!" a hearty female voice came from the front, and then a plump woman in a blue cloth dress laughed and walked quickly. When Wang Lao Wu heard this, his black face turned slightly red, and he said to Zhang Fan: "Lord, this is Meng Phoenix, the master of Luanfeng Hall in Qinglong Village, the daughter of the previous owner of the village, there is something special in the village, don't be surprised." Zhang Fan smiled slightly and said, "Old Five, I didn't expect you to be so afraid of her, don't worry about seeing me get her, haha." ”
At this time, Meng Fenghuang had already met Zhang Fan and the others, she looked at Zhang Fan, and saw that he was wearing a brocade robe and a white robe, with a slender figure and a handsome face, he was simply a pretty son, and saw that he was carrying a big black sword that was not tall with himself, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh. As soon as the warriors saw Meng Fenghuang seeing Zhang Fan, the flowers trembled, the milk waves surged, the plump buttocks loomed, the charming eyes were sluggish, and the sexy and charming were extremely attractive, and they couldn't help but feel the fire in their hearts.
Meng Fenghuang came back to his senses, and when he saw that all the martial artists were staring at him, he snorted lightly, and immediately beat all the martial artists from heaven to hell.
All the warriors lowered their heads in shame, and their bodies trembled, presumably they would suffer again in the future. Zhang Fan saw that although the master of Luanfeng Hall was wearing a coarse cloth dress, he couldn't hide her plump and delicate body, and her face was not powdered, which made her skin like congealed fat round and jade, and the country was natural, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the beauty was not in the palace, but in the Lingshan.
Meng Fenghuang saw that Zhang Fan came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Presumably, this boy in white is Zhang Da Divine Doctor, the little woman Phoenix is polite." When Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled and said: "Zhang Fan has seen the master of the Phoenix Hall, and he knows how to use medical skills, so he doesn't dare to call himself a miracle doctor." Meng Fenghuang laughed and said, "Yes, Doctor Zhang came to my Qinglong Village, and he is a guest from afar, please come in." As she spoke, she walked towards the compound in front of her.
Zhang Fan glanced at the courtyard with a golden silk nanmu plaque hanging on the vermilion lacquer gate, on which "Qinglong Hall" was written, and turned to the crowd: "Let's go, let's go in." Immediately, everyone followed Meng Phoenix into the compound.
