The leader of the third village was even more unlucky. He had just smashed four daggers away, but before he could take care of anyone else, he was positioned by two long spears.
Seeing that the two brothers were in trouble, the leader of the fourth village became as anxious as a madman. He flew a steel knife up and down and rushed into the military formation. The other elites of Yingkou Peak were afraid that the leader of the fourth village would go to the two brothers for tea and leave everyone alone. Rush forward early to protect and charge. In just a short time, although more than a dozen sergeants were chopped off, most of the elites of Yingkou Peak were killed or injured. The leader of the fourth village came out of the military formation and looked around him. Only five or six people were left to fight.
The leader of the officers and soldiers who led the team was also surprised when he saw that 30% of the troops on his side were reduced. He hurriedly suppressed the team and sent people to report to the captain quickly that he was ready to prepare.
Huangshan led a large group of troops to the front. Seeing that most of his elite brothers were killed, blood immediately rushed upwards. He didn't care about anything else. He threw away his salt and goods, each holding a knife and a gun, and rushed forward. The leader of the team knew that something bad was going on. There were too many people on the other side. If the captain's reinforcements arrived slowly, he might have annihilated the entire army if he held on. But if he withdrew his troops at this time, this No. 30 soldier would be killed by others. As soon as they were chased, they immediately collapsed. These soldiers were wearing armor and stomach, and they would definitely not be able to outrun these bandits, and they were certain to die. They might as well fight hard to withstand it, and maybe save their own lives.
When the captain heard the shouts of killing, he rushed over with the officers and soldiers of the brigade. On the way, he met the soldiers who reported the news. The captain was grateful that he was wise and came not too late. However, even if he led the troops to rush forward, he could only catch up with the scene where his deputy was heroically beheaded. Relying on the strength of their numbers, Huangshan finally broke through the formation of these sergeants at the cost of twenty lives, divided and surrounded the group of sergeants, and beheaded all of them.
The officers and soldiers couldn't believe that someone actually dared to confront his own army openly, especially when the other party was just a ragtag group of men with broken knives and broken guns. Is it tolerable or not? The captain was determined not to let go of any of the gangsters. He immediately roared, swung his sword, and charged forward in the lead.
The brothers at Yingkou Peak, led by Huang Shan, were already furious. Seeing the officers and soldiers rushing over again, everyone rushed up swarm regardless of the number of people.
The captain was brave, but he didn't have as much experience as his deputy. The consequence of the captain taking the lead in the charge was that although the officers and soldiers were fully armored and had sharp swords and guns, they dispersed from the formation and broke into a chaotic battle as soon as they came into contact. Although all the elite members of the cottage had been exhausted just now, when it came to a one-on-one fight, the people of Yingkou Peak were more daring to fight tooth and nail than the officers and soldiers. There is no disadvantage in fighting. After the captain was stabbed to death by Huang Shan and others, the officers and soldiers immediately broke up and fled for their lives when they saw that their leader had been killed.
Although Huangshan and others dispersed the officers and soldiers, they didn't know if there was any backup from the officers and soldiers nearby, so they could only find a way to evacuate as soon as possible. Checking the manpower of the village, there were still more than 30 people with minor injuries and those who were intact. Huangshan personally carried the four village masters on his back. Yan Huo couldn't take care of them, so he took all the brothers who could move, immediately stood out from the mountain pass, and rushed back to the village overnight.
This time, not only did they lose 70% of the elite in the village, but also all the savings from the idea of copying the village were lost, except for the more than 20 rock salt that the village had saved before. The brothers who had formed a sworn brotherhood at the beginning, except for the fourth leader who died only after returning to the stronghold, the rest were all killed in this battle, and their bodies were not even recovered.
What's even worse is that the Shu army has entered Hanzhong, and all of his original business areas have become battlefields. Because of this war, almost all the countryside in the three counties have been deserted. Everyone is gone. Who can sell the salt to? go? Moreover, the business in my village has always been smooth, and I get along well with the people around me. The food in the mountain can only be prepared for half a month and ten days. Anyway, I can go down the mountain to buy it at any time. Now that the people have fled, the food is in vain. There is not much left. I don’t know how long this battle will last. We can’t just rely on hunting for a living after all the food is eaten by more than thirty people, right?
The more Huangshan thought about it, the more headache he got. He walked around in front of the mountain and behind the house for a long time, but he couldn't think of any solution. Huang Shan stamped his feet and thought to himself: "You are such a bastard. Is it possible that I also want to serve as a soldier to get food?"
Just as he was thinking about it, a little brother from the village hurriedly ran up from the bottom of the mountain and shouted: "Master of the village, four guests came down from the mountain. They said they had important matters to discuss. One of them called himself Huang Hai. Is it you?" Big brother."
Huangshan was stunned: "My eldest brother? That's an honest man. Why is he here? Go, go quickly, call the brothers, pack up, and follow me to pick up my eldest brother up the mountain!"
Wealth that does not return to its hometown is like walking in brocade at night.
Chinese people have been very particular about face since ancient times, especially in front of relatives and friends. Even if they suffer some financial losses, they still have to have face. Therefore, once Chinese people become wealthy, they will never forget the return of fallen leaves to their roots. You must go back to your hometown and let your ancestors, relatives, friends and neighbors know that you are successful and prosperous. You can come and get some light from me. What if you don't return home? What I said just now is very clear. I just want to wear brocade clothes and sneak around at night. No one can see me, but it’s useless.
It's not like Huangshan hasn't been back since he left home for three years. After all, it's nearby and this is his territory. But when I went back, after all, I was labeled as an unfilial descendant of smuggling salt. Although I was the leader of a village with five people and six people outside, when I got to the village, I still kept a low profile. I was afraid that some elders would give me a lesson. It would be very shameless to let the brothers in the village see it.
Huangshan was really happy to hear from his brothers that his clan brother had arrived. He knew that his clan brother had been loyal and upright since childhood. He had been often praised by his elders since he was a teenager, and he was regarded as the favorite to take over as the next generation clan leader. He was one of those people who would avoid being taught a lesson when he saw someone from a distance in the village. If the clan brother suddenly came to his village, he must have something to ask for. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would not take the initiative to go up the mountain to take care of his unscrupulous brother.
This is his own territory, and he cannot afford to lose face in front of his tribe. So I was happy, so I ordered all the brothers in the village to put on their best clothes, clean up neatly, and accompany me to welcome the clan brother. This was to give face to the clan brother, and also to gain face for myself.
Huang Hai and the other four were stopped on the mountainside by sentries. The four of them are not in a hurry. No matter what, after all, when they get to the end of the field, their clan brothers will definitely not suffer any loss. Not long after, he saw more than 30 people hurriedly coming down from the mountain. Huang Hai looked at them carefully. Although everyone was wearing homely clothes, they were still in good spirits. When these people came closer, they divided themselves on both sides and stood in two teams. Give up the village leader Huangshan.
Huang Hai stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the people in the village. When he saw his brother coming out, he also came forward to greet him. Huang Shan hurried a few steps forward, gave a big gift, walked on the ground, and said: "Brother, brother, I don't know that my brother is here, so I can't." Welcome me in time, brother, forgive me!" More than 30 brothers from the village behind also bowed their hands and saluted, shouting in unison: "Welcome brother"
Huang Hai hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed him, and chuckled: "Fifteenth brother, we are all our brothers, why bother? Hurry up, get up."
Then he bowed his hands and saluted everyone, and said with a smile: "Thank you, brothers."
Huang Shan stood up, held Huang Hai's arm, looked at Huang Hai up and down, and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for almost a year. Are you okay? I heard that all the people in our clan have moved away. Where will eldest brother stay?" How are the brothers in the clan?"
Huang Hai shook his head and said, "Fifteenth brother, it's hard to say enough. I'm not busy with this. I'll talk about it later. Come on, come on, I've met these brothers."
Huangshan followed the Yellow Sea and came to Zhou Bao and others. Zhou Bao and the others had already been sizing up Huangshan. Look at this Huangshan, with sword-like eyebrows and tiger eyes, a square mouth and a straight nose, fair complexion, a short soap suit, tied tightly with cowhide straps, although his face is smiling, his eyes are open and closed, but he is shining brightly. The three of them clasped their fists together and said, "I've met the leader of the village!"
Huangshan laughed and returned the courtesy one by one, saying: "Since we are brothers of eldest brother, we are not outsiders. Come on, come on. Please come on the mountain and let us talk in the village."
Huang Shan took Huang Hai's hand, and they went up the mountain side by side. Zhou Bao and three others followed closely behind, and the rest of the brothers in the village followed closely and crowded up the mountain.
Wang Tong and Zhou Can were observing the brothers in the village while going up the mountain. These two people had practiced tuan yong for two months and had developed an occupational disease. Whenever they saw a group of people, they would compare them with their own tuan yong queue. Although these people all looked fierce, they were following behind, their steps were messy, and the team was in a mess. In my heart, I looked down upon the training of this team. He thought to himself: "It's a pity. If this group of people could train in our hands for two months, they would definitely be a good team player."
When they arrived at the mountain, Huangshan first distributed the brothers in the village, and quietly ordered them to prepare a banquet of wine and meat, and later entertain the clan brothers and distinguished guests. I accompanied my eldest brother and waited for the visitor, and went to the hall to talk.
Called the hall, it's just a slightly larger hut. If you squeeze it in, it can accommodate forty or fifty people. When they arrived at the hall, Huang Hai first introduced Zhou Bao, Wang Tong, and Zhou Can. After being polite to each other, the guests and hosts took their seats.
After all, Huangshan was concerned about the safety of his tribe, and he also wanted to ask about the move. Huanghai had to ask his own village, when did they move, what troubles were there on the road, who was killed, who died of illness, who was still alive, and how to resettle the valley. What's going on? I told you in detail.
Huangshan listened, feeling helpless, angry, sad, and relieved for a while. After Huang Hai finished speaking, he found out that all the remaining members of his family were settled in the villa, and the young and old had no worries about food and clothing. I was already filled with emotion. I couldn't sit still at that time. I kowtowed to the three people with a big gift and said: "Everyone is so generous, Huangshan is grateful. But if you are destined, Huangshan will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Zhou Bao and the others hurriedly stepped forward to pull up Huangshan and said with a smile: "The village leader is polite, it is our duty to rescue people in distress. The village master does not need to worry about it. Besides, the elder brother Huang Hai is also the leader of our mountain village group training team. We are all like brothers. You shouldn’t even see outsiders”
Huang Shan smiled and said, "That's very good. Then please let the three of you follow the eldest brother and call me fifteenth brother."
Huang Hai said: "Exactly, exactly, just call it that, so you won't see anyone else!"
Zhou Bao and the other three are also informal people. They felt awkward and unhappy about the concession they had just made. After hearing what Huang Hai said, they did not refuse and agreed immediately.
A few people sat down and Huang Hai started talking. After hearing this, Huang Shan chuckled and said, "It would be wrong for me not to come. Brother, there is nothing else here but salt. Is it possible that we have a salt shop here, but we still have to let our brothers eat plain food? How can we deliver this?" , which is a bit troublesome.”
Zhou Bao asked: "We can slowly think about how to transport it. I wonder how much salt is available here, the fifteenth brother?"
Huangshan said: "Brother Zhou, to tell you the truth, although I suffered a severe setback in the past two months, not only all the savings in the village were wiped out, but only 30% of the brothers were left, but this... The salt I have here is more than forty dan. It is enough for our villa to last for a year."
Zhou Baodao: "Forty stones is more than enough. That's enough. But with these forty stones of salt, I'm afraid our villa has no other income except farming and hunting. So, fifteenth brother, do you think it's feasible to exchange grain for salt?"
Huang Shan smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, you have to say it. Brother, I am short of food. Seeing that the village is running out of food, brother is very worried."
Zhou Can said: "Fifteenth brother, this private salt business is very profitable, why is the village running out of food?"
"Brother Zhou, you are right. Selling salt privately is really profitable. Originally, my cottage, this salt product came and was sent to the three nearby counties, either in exchange for grain or in exchange for money. I always made more money every time. The surplus. I also saved a lot of money. Generally, there is not enough food. It covers three villages and five miles, so just buy it. Now the battle is so fierce that the people living in the mountains below have run away. Not only is there no land to produce salt, but also food. I can’t even find him. My brother is trapped in the mountain now and has nothing to do.” Huang Shan said, shaking his head.
Zhou Can's mind was spinning the fastest and he said with a smile: "Fifteenth brother, if this is the case, why not move the brothers from the village to our villa together? Although there are not many people in our villa, the valley stretches out and dozens of families work on it. It’s okay to eat.”
Huangshan chuckled and said, "This matter is important and needs to be discussed with the brothers in the village."
A few people were still talking, and some brothers from the village came up and said that the wine and meat were ready, and they could have a banquet. Huangshan sent an order, and all the brothers gathered in the front of the hall to have a feast and drink together.
In the village, it was said to be a party, but it was just game on the mountain, large pieces of meat cooked and cut, filled with several pots and jars of village wine. We are all farmers and hunters, so as long as we are happy eating, that's all.
After eating and drinking happily, several brothers, drunk, went on the field to compete in martial arts. The winner was proud of himself, and the loser only received a few words of ridicule. However, no one cared about the brothers in the same village. .
The Zhou Bao people were a little polite at first, but when they were halfway through eating, they let go and exchanged cups with the brothers in Huangshan Village, shouting and shouting.
When Wang Tong saw everyone competing in martial arts, he couldn't help but point fingers. The victor had already seen it and came forward to challenge him. Wang Tong was not polite. He jumped up, took off his shirt and became shirtless. Rushing into the arena.
The brother in the village had competed with his own brother earlier, but it was just a half-truth and half-false, just for fun. This Wang Tong was a guest. Although he was the guest of the village owner, he couldn't be rude, but after all, it was about the face of the village, so he didn't want to do it easily. After losing, seeing Wang Tong's skill and skill, he didn't dare to be careless. He also threw away his clothes and faced each other shirtless.
The two played fast and fast, and the sound of ping-pong could not be heard. They met each other more than 20 times in the field.
