Chapter 37: The People Are Panicked and Anxious

Uncle Liu sat on the edge of the kang, asked Xinghua and Dahu in detail about the before and after they met the bandits, and said after a long time: "I have lived for more than 40 years and experienced bandits, and I think that Dahu's father was killed by bandits." ”

He took out a cigarette pouch and filled it with cigarettes, lit a fire, took a few puffs, and then said: "That year, the big tiger was only seven or eight years old, and there was a group of bandits in our pimple, about forty or fifty people, the leader of the big boss is called 'Shaling Leopard Head', and the second leader is called 'Zashan Bao'. When the big tiger father was hunting on the meadow, he found out about the situation and hurriedly returned to Tunzi and asked the villagers to retreat in another direction as soon as possible, but the villagers were suspicious, and some of them packed up their things, and brought those that could be taken away, and hid those that could not be taken away; some of the big girls and little daughters-in-law hurriedly touched their faces with black ash from the bottom of the pot; and some did not believe that the bandits would come, and it was difficult to leave their homeland, so they were unwilling to leave this tunzi. The big tiger father urged over and over again, which delayed the time to escape.

Later, when people saw that the bandits who killed people without blinking an eye entered the tunzi, they robbed things when they saw them, and they harmed them when they saw women, so they hurriedly ran out. But it was too late, and the big tiger father had no choice but to cover the villagers and fight and retreat, he held two bows and arrows, and broke them in the back.

He shot a lot of bandits, but after all, he was outnumbered, and when the villagers retreated to a safe place in the depths of the meadow, he was so tired that he had no strength to pull the bow again, and when he was careless, he was hit in the heart by a sharp arrow shot by a bandit, and then several bandits pounced on him and made up for him.

By the time I arrived, he had already lost his breath, and the two bows and arrows in his hand had been robbed by the bandits. I hurriedly cut down a few bandits. Snatched a bow and arrow from the hands of the bandits, the one that the big tiger is now using. ”

When Uncle Liu talked about this, he saw that Dahu Niang, Dahu and Xue'er were already crying silently. He paused, sighed, and said: "I estimate that this bandit is still the head of the Shaling leopard more than ten years ago, I heard that the head of the Shaling leopard died of old age, and now it is the second master of the mountain bag that takes over the big boss." This mountain bag is a ruthless, beautiful, scourge the people, all kinds of evil bandits, he is in his fifties, and the weapons he uses are very special. It's an iron fan, and when I'm idle, I like to play with the fan. I don't know how many good family women he has played. As long as he is in love, no one can escape from his palm. ”

Dahu said: "If he comes this time, I will fight with them, and I must avenge the killing of my father!" The muscles in his face tensed. The eyes were red too. This big tiger is very reckless, and he can do what he says.

The big tiger lady said: "What are you fighting? Child, you can't be so reckless as your father last time, you are alone, even if you are covered in iron, how many nails can you grind?"

Dahu said: "My father is not acting recklessly, he is here to protect the villagers. ”

Uncle Liu said: "Those bandits are not fuel-efficient lamps, and those who come are not good." I think they're here to steal food and get rich. As long as the apricot blossom is not discovered by them, it will not act rashly. Now it's better to hide the apricot blossoms. ”

The big tiger lady was worried: "But, where is this big living person hiding?"

Uncle Liu said: "By the way, there is a vegetable cellar in the nest shop in our vegetable field, why don't you hide the apricot blossoms and big tigers there?"

The big tiger lady nodded and said: "Now there is only this way, the big tiger has injured the bandit, it is best to let him hide a little farther." ”

Uncle Li said: "My family's vegetable plot is on the mountain, and that place is quite remote, and no one knows the way. ”

"Okay, big tiger and apricot blossom, you should hurry up, or it will be too late. The big tiger lady said, took out a small basket, put a few budding rice flour cakes, and took the bow and arrow from the wall and said to the big tiger: "Child, bring food, and then take this bow and arrow, this is what your father bought from the hands of the bandits with his life, and it can no longer fall into the hands of the bandits." ”

"I know it, mother. Erhu agreed, pulled up the apricot blossom and followed Uncle Li out of the road.

When the three of them passed Uncle Li's house, the big yellow dog of the Li family saw the living person, so he ran out screaming "Wangwang", and Uncle Li took a lot of effort to drive it home.

Then, they passed by the Qian family, the eldest brother of Qian Xuewen, the principal of Shaling Yucai Middle School, that is, the hometown of Zheng Erhu's classmate Qian Youwei, the courtyard wall of the richest man in Shaling......

Besides, the bandits of the one-eyed dragon were frightened by Zhao Dahu's cold arrows, and after they couldn't leave the apricot blossoms, they ran in the moonlight for more than twenty miles in a panic before they came to their senses, grabbed the reins of the horse, and stopped. The red-faced ghost ripped off a sleeve and wrapped the cyclops around the one-eyed dragon's arm.

Tilting his neck and saying: "Today is not an auspicious day for the zodiac, what a fucking frustration, I actually met the plague god." ”

"Not really. The red-faced ghost said: "The little beautiful girl in hand flew, you said that we have been working on the grassland for so many years, and it has been very smooth, but I didn't expect that his mother actually touched a big nail." ”

"Don't your grandmother's grinding, let's talk about it later!" shouted the one-eyed dragon.

Everyone was silent, and silently quickened the pace of walking.

At that time, bandits were rampant, especially the vast, vast sand ridges and endless prairies, because of the vast and sparsely populated, primitive and desolate, inaccessible, it became a place where bandits gathered, and became a secret nest of natural dangers that was convenient for bandits to hide.

If people walk at night and suddenly hear strange noises from sorghum trees, thatched piles, or pits of tree hair, or something falling on the side of the road, they must be careful, either wolves or bandits are coming.

Therefore, some bandits often sleep in the mountains, forests, and grasslands at night, and they have become accustomed to it, and the mosquitoes in summer cannot drink their blood, and the cold wind in winter cannot penetrate their bodies......

The bandits often come out and break into people's homes, burning, killing and looting, causing chickens and dogs to jump in the nearby villages, and people are panicked......

The one-eyed dragon, the red-faced ghost, and the crooked-necked bandits ran for dozens of miles again, and only stopped their hurried footsteps when they saw a sorghum field.

It was the cultivated land and the grain grown by the bandits near their mountain. Before they had time to harvest, Liu Ziwen, the magistrate of Shaling County, and Liu Zihao, the big landlord of Xiaogushan, joined forces with Dongshan sheepskin locks to attack their lair, fought for several days in a row, and besieged the mountain bag, so that the mountain bag sat and ate empty, and there was not much surplus grain. That's why they were in a hurry to get out of the city to grab food.

As a result, these bandits not only often went out to grab grain, but also under the banner of doing the right thing for the heavens, and also knew the importance of raising troops and land, so they took into account the cultivation of cultivated land and growing grain as a supplement, so they were able to survive and develop for more than 30 years, and they were one of the largest and most powerful bandits in the Shaling area.
