At Donglai Peak, the leader of the village, Song Shu, was wearing a coat and pacing in his meeting hall. Half an hour ago, his subordinates came to report that Xiaolou Peak had been breached by Xique Peak, and the Yuling Village was all dead. Shen Yulou fell off a cliff, his life and death unknown.
The leader of the Song Dynasty, whose original name was Song Shu, was originally a good man, but unfortunately his family fell into decline. Song Shu studied hard in Hanchuang, originally thinking of going to Beijing to take the exam and revive his family business.
It coincided with the civil strife in Zhao and the war between Qi and Jin. When passing through Lingzhou with a caravan that was taking advantage of the war to resell goods, Shi Biao, the then owner of Donglai Fenghan Village, plundered people and goods up the mountain.
The leader of Hanshan Village, Shi Biao, didn't want to kill anyone. He just wanted to leave the belongings and let everyone go down the mountain. However, he saw one of the people in the group wearing a long gown, which was incompatible with the attire of everyone in the caravan.
After calling him and asking him carefully, he found out that he was a scholar who was about to take the exam. There were all rough guys in Shi Biao's Hanshan village. He heard that he was a scholar. All the heroes in the village were rough men. When they heard that they had kidnapped a scholar, they came forward one after another. Come and watch.
Shi Biao was so talented that there were a group of rough guys in the village, and there were only a handful of literate people, so he spoke to Song Shu, saying that the world is now in chaos, and the people are in dire straits. Although he is a thief, he only robs the property of unscrupulous merchants and never hurts him. I only hope that everyone in Hanshan Village can come down and do good deeds in the future.
The leader of the village, Shi, earnestly persuaded Song Shu to stay in the village and wait until the world was peaceful before going down the mountain.
At first, Song Shu didn't want to leave the army alone, but when he thought about it carefully, outside Hanshan Village, the world was in chaos and wars continued. As a scholar, where could he go? After some thought, Song Shu agreed to stay at Donglai Peak. superior.
Shi Biao's only daughter Shi Shi grew up in the green forest. She followed a group of heroes to dance with guns and sticks. She was used to seeing rough guys in the mountains. Suddenly, there was a handsome scholar in the village, so she couldn't help but talk to this little scholar of similar age. A few words.
Over and over again, the girl of the green forest and the down-and-out scholar fell in love with each other. During the days when Shi Biao got along with Song Shu, he felt that the scholar had a good character, so he married his daughter to him.
After Qi Yun established the country, the scholar Song Shu did not go down the mountain again, but An Xin worked with Shi Shi in the Donglai Peak to assist Shi Biao in running the Hanshan Village.
The next year, Shi Biao suddenly fell ill. When he was dying, he called his son-in-law Song Shu to his bedside. He entrusted his daughter to Hanshanzhai and passed away.
With Shi Shi's support, everyone in Hanshan Village had no objection to Song Shu becoming the master of the village, so the down-and-out scholar turned into a hero in the green forest of Lingzhou.
Over the years, Song Shu has been thinking about the old village owner's kindness in saving his life and taking him in. He has also been in love with Shi Shi for many years. The couple worked together to keep the village in order, strictly abiding by the rules left by the old village owner, robbing the rich and giving to the poor. , no harm to human life.
Since Shen Yulou came to Lingzhou, he conquered Xiaoloufeng and founded Yuling Village. Inviting all the villages in Lingzhou to establish the rules of Lingzhou Green Forest, Song Shu and his wife also admired Shen Yulou's character, so they took the lead in supporting Shen Yulou with everyone in Hanshan Village. Thinking that from now on, Lingzhou Green Forest will be able to do good, it can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of the old village owner.
Unexpectedly, this peaceful day passed not long ago. Today, I heard that the Hutou Village and the Hubao attacked Yuling Village at night. Song Shu was still sleepy, so he walked around in the meeting hall with his clothes on and thought deeply.
Song Shu was also a little confused. Although Hu Bao was good at martial arts, Shen Yulou was a master at the beginning of his career. How could he wipe out the village overnight?
"What's the matter? Master, I saw Xiao Huang running over in a panic just now. Something important happened." Since Shi Shi married Song Shu, she has been working as his good wife with peace of mind, even if her father will The cottage was left to him, a scholar who didn't understand martial arts, and Shi Shi silently supported her husband without any complaints.
Although the two have not had a son and a half for many years, it does not affect the relationship between the couple at all. Late at night, I saw my husband being woken up by Xiao Huang. He said a few words to him outside the house and then left in a hurry.
The husband entered the house with a solemn expression, not wanting him to worry about her anymore. Shi Shi pretended to be asleep, felt her husband cover her with a quilt, closed the door and left.
Shi Shi put on her clothes and followed her husband's steps to the meeting hall. Seeing her husband's sad face, Shi Shi opened the door of the meeting hall and said softly to the pacing husband: "Shu Lang, what are you talking about?" What happened?"
"Yuling Village is gone." After a moment of silence, Song Shu said.
"What? How is it possible, where is Brother Shen?"
"Hutou Village destroyed Yuling Village overnight. No one survived at Xiaolou Peak. Brother Shen fell off the cliff and his life or death is unknown." Song Shu continued.
Shi Shi was surprised and said: "Brother Shen is still a newcomer to the realm. Xiaoloufeng has also recruited many martial arts masters these days. With Hu Bao's martial arts, I can defeat Hutou Village by myself alone. They. Let alone those idiots like them can destroy Yuling Village."
"I asked Xiao Huang to go find some of his acquaintances in Hutou Village to inquire. In recent days, Hutou Village has recruited a group of masters from unknown sources. All of them are very skilled, at least at the beginning. Peep into the realm of Dengtang." Song Shu said with worry.
"Since these people are such masters, how can they be willing to be under that Hu Bao?" Shi Shi said.
Song Shu's eyes became more worried: "What Madam said is exactly what I am worried about. Although the Three Peaks and Eighteen Villages in Lingzhou are a land of green forests, they are also a good place to hide. Whether these people are in the martial arts realm or at night The schemes used to attack Yuling Village are beyond my level."
Sighing, Song Shu continued: "If Yuling Village is still there, we can still resist this group of people together with them, but now our lips are dead and our teeth are cold. If my prediction is correct, they will attack us after tomorrow. "
Shi Shi knew that her husband was a scholar. When his father passed away, he often made suggestions for the village. Every step he foresaw proved to be correct. It was precisely because of this that his father left the village in his hands. When she heard her husband say this, Shi Shi felt a little panicked.
He has been in the village since he was born, and this village is his home. Now that he heard his husband's analysis, the group of people might want to take action against the village, so he hurriedly asked his husband: "Shu Lang, what should we do? This village is Father’s life-long effort, husband, we have to find a way to protect everyone.”
Song Shu didn't want to keep Hanshan Village, but now judging from Xiao Huang's report, his wife and several leaders in the village alone cannot stop that group of people. There are only two ways to go.
"Madam, what I have been thinking about just now is how our Hanshan village can resolve this disaster, but no matter how hard I think, we only have two options."
"Which two ways?" Shi Shi asked, knowing that what her husband was talking about was the best choice he could think of.
"The first way, if we want to save the village and save everyone's lives, is to take the initiative to surrender Hutou Village. However, this strategy can only buy temporary peace. In the future, after those people use Hutou Village, we will still be in trouble. .”
"What about the second way?"
"This second way." Song Shu's eyes showed a trace of determination. The old village leader entrusted the lives of his daughter and all the brothers to his own hands before his death, and he would save everyone's lives even if he died.
"The second way is for our husband and wife to take our brothers and leave Donglai Peak, leave Hanshan Village, and give this empty village to Hu Bao's group."
"No, this village is my father's hard work, and it must not be given away to others."
Although Shi Shi was gentle to her husband, she was the daughter of a green forest leader who grew up in a village. She had a fiery temperament and strong martial arts skills. Now that I heard that my husband wanted to give up the village that his father had built, he immediately refused.
Seeing his wife's fierce reaction, Song Shu understood his wife's feelings towards Han Shanzhai after having been married for many years. However, if he hesitated now, he would lose not only the village, but also the lives of the brothers.
Song Shu saw his wife alone in front of the window, looking out the window, her shoulders hunched, as if she was crying. He walked forward, gently caressed his wife's back, and said: "Madam, I know your feelings for Hanshan Village. Come on, this is your home.”
"But the village is dead, but the people are alive. If we don't make a decision, and when those people attack Donglai Peak like they did with Shen Yulou, by then, we will lose not only Hanshan Village, but also The lives of these brothers who have followed the old village leader for many years."
"Husband, I know you only want the cottage to be good, but after all, this place is my father's hard work for many years." Shi Shi wiped away her tears and blurted out the impulsive words just now. Now that she thought about it carefully, she knew the second way her husband had mentioned. , is also the best choice for Hanshan Village at the moment.
No longer stubborn, Shi Shi also followed the old village master's temperament and acted decisively. Now that he had confirmed his husband's choice in his heart, he continued to speak: "My husband is right, the village is dead, and people are alive. You can't do it for Dead things, sacrificing the lives of brothers, according to my husband, when will we set off and where will we go?"
Song Shu knew that his wife was willing to give up Hanshan Village, so he naturally made great determination and trust in himself. He immediately took his wife's hand and looked out the window.
A wisp of moonlight had quietly climbed up into the sky, and the surrounding dark clouds made way for the moonlight. The moonlight passed through the window of the meeting hall and shone on the faces of the couple. Song Shu paid attention and said, "We can't wait any longer. Let's set off immediately. Everyone, take your luggage and some luggage with you. It’s okay if you don’t need it. Let’s go south to Liangzhou.”
——
Liangzhou City, Yuelai Tower.
Since Gu Xiao and Chi Tianya agreed to go to Lingzhou together, without waiting for Gu Xiao and others to refuse, Chi Tianya had people move all the belongings that Gu Xiao and others left in the inn to Yuelai Building.
In the past few days of getting along, Lao Li and Xue Hu had already distinguished themselves on the matter of drinking, which ended with Xue Hu's resignation.
Lin'er kept pestering Uncle Kui and Aunt Kui to tell her stories about rivers and lakes every day. Even when Uncle Kui and Aunt Kui went to sell vegetables, Lin'er followed and shouted. With such a smart and charming person, Lin'er kept pestering her. With the help of the beautiful girl, the business of what was originally just a vegetable stall to hide its identity has become surprisingly good. All the young masters from the big families in Liangzhou City know that they are here to 'sell vegetables and beauty', even if they want to hide it. The identity of Uncle Kui and Aunt Kui is dumbfounded.
Now that he has decided to go to Lingzhou, Chi Tianya has met more often with Guisumei. The relationship between the two has made Gu Xiao, Lin'er and others see clearly. Even Texue sees Chi every day. People all over the world want to step forward and teach this man who doesn't understand the style a lesson.
Speaking of Tuxue, I have been living in Yuelai Building these days, and my daily food intake makes this fat ferret seem to have gained some weight.
Since he was going to Lingzhou, Gu Xiao also ordered Uncle Li to go back to the mountain to send back this holiday gift, and also report to the master about his situation at the bottom of the mountain, so that the master could rest assured.
Uncle Li flatly refused. He had seen the skills of people like Chi Tianya. Even Chi Tianya was quite afraid of people. How could Uncle Li rest assured that the young master would go alone. He knew what the young master was thinking, and was worried that his old wounds had not healed. If Lingzhou was executed and someone took action, he would be afraid that his old wounds would relapse.
After several days of entanglement, Old Li couldn't defeat the sharp-tongued 'monkey spirit' young master Gu Xiao, so he had no choice but to follow Gu Xiao's instructions and go back to the mountain to report to Gu Jianyi.
However, Lao Li also agreed with Gu Xiao in his heart that after returning to the mountain to report the matter, he could go to Lingzhou to meet up with the young master. Gu Xiao asked Lao Li for help. If the meeting happened, he would bring the Broken Moon Sword Box with him. When it comes to taking action, he also has a handy weapon.
