Last time, Shaoqu and Dong Chengwen met Lian Jue and a few people in the restaurant, and when they knew that Ni Feng and they were going to hunt, Qiu Yu proposed to hunt some pheasants and hares outside the city when he was drinking in the restaurant. Dong Chengwen rarely went out of Shangyuan City, and when he saw Qiu Yu mention it, he was very interested and agreed with Qiu Yu's opinion, so on the same day, Shaoqu and Qiu Yao went back to the Flying Eagle Gang, found a few familiar gangs, and borrowed five bows, Shaoqu, Nian Hong, Qiu Yao, Dong Chengwen, and Fengchuan each had one each. On the second day, before dawn, the five went out of the city.

The area around Shangyuan City has fertile soil and abundant products, and there are more or less pheasants and hares in any jungle. Out of the city for more than ten miles, five people got into a jungle, as soon as they entered the jungle, they startled a pheasant, the pheasant just flew up, Shaoqu pulled the bow and arrows, the bowstring sounded, the arrow pierced the pheasant's wings, and the pheasant hit the ground and kept fluttering. Qiu Yu saw Shaoqu shoot an arrow at a pheasant and said: "Shaoqu is so good at archery, you usually don't work hard, right?" Shaoqu ran over to pick up the pheasant when it landed, and said as he ran: "It's just that the reaction is faster, and it's easy to shoot at such a close distance." ”

At the beginning, the five people hunted the pheasant, everyone was full of interest, but for more than an hour, the five people did not see anything, just touched a small river ditch, the five people dealt with the pheasant, and caught some small fish, sprinkled some salt flowers and roasted together to deal with the Chinese rice.

Qiu Yao was making some river water to extinguish the fire, when Feng Chuan gently patted Shaoqu's shoulder, Shaoqu turned his head to look at Feng Chuan, Feng Chuan pointed to a bush next to the small river ditch and said, "Look." After listening to Feng Chuan's words, Shaoqu looked in the direction that Feng Chuan was pointing, and saw only a snake with a thick body of two fingers hiding in the grass five or six zhang away. Dong Chengwen and the others also heard Feng Chuan's words on the side, and they also saw the snake in the direction that Feng Chuan was pointing. Shaoqu took an arrow and drew his bow, aimed at the snake, and said, "Let's shoot an arrow together and see who can hit it." Dong Chengwen and the four people listened to it and said: "Okay", Dong Chengwen and the four people also took arrows and bows one after another, just when the five people were about to shoot the arrows, a figure ran from afar, the person shouted "help" while running, the five people saw the running person, they loosened the bowstring, put away the arrows, and then there were two people running behind the person.

After the man got closer, the five of them realized that it was Lian Jue, only to see that Lian Jue's clothes were full of dirt and leaves, and his hair was also a mess. When Lian Jue saw Shaoqu and Dong Chengwen, he shouted: "Nian Hong, save me, someone wants to kill me!" Shaoqu and a few people watched the two people behind Lian Jue run as fast as Lian Jue, and they knew that the two people did not know martial arts, so they stood in place until Lian Jue ran behind them, and the two people also stopped opposite the five people of Shaoqu.

When the two saw Lian Jue hiding behind the five Shaoqu people, they said loudly: "What, do you want to stand up for someone you don't know?" Nian Hong heard the anger and didn't know where it came from, and scolded loudly: "How can I tolerate you villains acting recklessly!" The two listened to Nian Hong's words and said: "I will give you two taels of silver, how about you hand him over to me?" Dong Chengwen listened to the words of the two people, his forehead wrinkled and said: "Shaoqu, can you catch them?" Shaoqu listened to Dong Chengwen's words and replied: "No problem." After speaking, Shaoqu ran towards the two of them, and Nian Hong and Qiu Yao also went together.

Seeing Shaoqu, Nian Hong, and Qiu Yao coming, the two raised their daggers and headed towards Shaoqu. The two of them waved the dagger in their hands in an orderly manner, and in two or three clicks, they were snatched away by Shaoqu and them. Then the two of them were taken down by Shaoqu and their wrists were tied.

Seeing that their wrists were tied, they didn't know what to do, so they hurriedly begged for mercy, and after a while, tears and snot mixed up on their faces. At this time, Dong Chengwen, Feng Chuan, and Lian Jue also came to Shaoqu's side, and Dong Chengwen saw that the two were begging for mercy and said: "Why do you want to kill this Lian Jue Gongzi?" The two listened to Dong Chengwen's words and hurriedly said: "I don't know any Lian Jue Gongzi, we were begging on the road, and someone gave us two daggers and ten taels of silver, saying that if you kill this son, this dagger and silver are ours." At that time, we didn't dare, because this boy still had two guards. Later, the man told us that this boy had never practiced martial arts, and that the two guards sometimes left him, and that the man also said that the dagger and the silver could be given to us first, but if we did not kill the son, he would come back and take the silver and the dagger back. After the man said this, he left, and we put away the silver and dagger, because we were afraid that the man would come back and ask for the silver and the dagger, so we followed this boy all the time, with the attitude of giving it a try, but we really seized the opportunity, but this boy was very clever, and ran away when he saw us. That's how we chased, and then we ran into you. Dong Chengwen listened and said, "What does the person who gave you money and daggers look like?" The two people listened to Dong Chengwen's words and replied: "The man is wearing a dust-proof cloth hood on his head, and we can't see the person's appearance at all, and on that wide road, there are many people who don't want to show their faces, and it is common to wear cloth hoods." Dong Chengwen listened to it and said, "Then you don't know anything?" The two listened to Dong Chengwen's words and replied: "That's really all we know." Dong Chengwen said to Shaoqu after dealing with the two of them with an "oh" sound: "Tie the two of them to the tree, and tie them with rattan to make it stronger." ”

It took a lot of effort for the two men to tie the two men to the tree strongly, and except for the head, the whole body was wrapped around the rattan and tied to the trunk. Seeing that the two of them were only outside, Dong Chengwen said: "We won't kill you, but whether you can survive or not depends on your luck." If you follow the laws of Shangyuan City, you will not be able to escape death. After speaking, Dong Chengwen and Shaoqu left.

Seeing Dong Chengwen leaving, Lian Jue said, "Where are we going?" Dong Chengwen: "Send you home." Lian Jue listened and replied: "When I tied up those two people just now, I promised that if you send me home, I will pay you a hundred taels of silver, and I will not forget." Qiu Yu said with a smile when he heard this: "Even Gongzi is really rich, but there are many troubles, just a few days, we met twice." But we don't want to pay for the child's money, but after we get to your house, you have to invite us to eat and drink well. Lian Jue: "Don't worry, as the second son of the Yuancao Chamber of Commerce, I still give one hundred taels of silver, delicious and delicious, there will be good food, the Yuancao Chamber of Commerce is not very famous, but there is no shortage of money, but it is still not as rich as the Flying Eagle Gang." ”

Dong Chengwen and a few people walked out of the jungle, Fengchuan walked in the forefront, this time Fengchuan expanded his perception, snakes and insects did not escape Fengchuan's perception along the way, and every time he encountered snakes and insects or something, Fengchuan would point out, which surprised Shaoqu and a few people, and kept asking Fengchuan how to do it, Fengchuan listened to it and told Shaoqu them nonsense.

Out of the jungle, through the two villages, is a road, the road connects Shangyuan City and all the towns, along the road has been walking, after two days I saw the wooden archway with the three words of Linyuan Town standing on the road, Dong Chengwen knew that this was the town where Lian Jue lived.
