Yu Liufei was unwilling to give in, stood up, followed lame old Xu, and muttered: "Oh! Uncle Xu, this part is actually the famous swordsman Ting Yu Luo Ye asking the state official! I have heard it passed down in legends in the world I have heard it so many times that my ears are almost ringing with noise, but I have never listened to the whole story in the teahouse. Since you have already talked about it here, why don't you explain it carefully to me, what happened next? Okay? ?”
Lame old Xu looked at everyone who had already mounted their horses, frowned and said: "Okay, stop chattering, we have to hurry. If we can reach Kangzhou City and stay there before the sun goes down today! I will How about we have a drink at the inn and finish talking to you?"
When Yu Liufei heard this, he turned around and ran towards his horse. As he walked, he shouted to Xiao Xiao: "Girl, get on the horse quickly, we have to hurry up and hurry up."
Lame old Xu looked at Yu Liufei's excitement, glanced at Yu Liufei who had already galloped away to catch up with the pace of 'Jiang Yu' and the others, and thought to himself: The little bastard named Yu is so blind under the lamp, The protagonist of my storyteller was right next to him, keeping pace with him. He was still focused on trying to understand what I told him. Hey, the second brother didn't let us tell him his real name. I'm afraid this stupid boy didn't know when he would understand it. .
Several people walked along the tree-lined horse path along the river again. Xiao Yu reined up his horse and came to Uncle Liu who was riding a donkey, and they walked hand in hand.
"Uncle Liu, have you noticed this?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.
Uncle Liu smiled slightly, glanced at the horses of Yu Liufei and Xiao Xiao who had already reached the front, and muttered: "Well, I'm afraid only that silly boy and the little girl didn't notice. Since he's following, let him follow. , let’s just rush on our way.”
Xiaoyu nodded, already making plans to deal with it. The person following him was none other than the old farmer he was passing by. If they hadn't taken time off by resting, he might not have been able to follow because of his weak legs. Go up to them, it's really difficult to confirm whether this old man is good or bad. If he is a bad person, they and his party will be eliminated. If he is a good person, he really has to teach his son a lesson for him.
After traveling for dozens of miles, the Lanyan Mountain that the group of people looked at from the side was no longer a cliff, but an undulating and sloping hillside.
The sun was facing west, and the sun was already shining brightly. It was probably the beginning of Shenshi.
There is a wooden fence blocking the road at the entrance of the cliff mountain in front, with pines and banyans standing beside it. On the side of the mountain is a thatched hut under the tree.
Behind the hut is a forest of sycamore trees. This tree blooms late and begins to bloom in late spring. There are mostly pink and white buds on the trees, and the scenery is pleasant.
There is a big stone standing at the entrance of the col, with three big characters "Tongzilin" carved crookedly on the stone.
Three slightly brightly dressed and beautiful people were sitting under the big banyan tree near the fence, with a stone table and three stone stools, one for each of them.
There were only three thick bowls and a jar of old wine on the table.
Next to the banyan tree stand three knives tied with red ropes.
Xiao Yu and his group rode up to the front, with 'Jiang Yi' and Xiao Yu walking in front.
'Jiang Yi' has kind eyebrows and kind eyes. He is dressed in clean and tight coarse cloth clothes. He looks like a fairy. When riding a horse, he looks like a Confucian gentleman. He has an extraordinary bearing.
Xiaoyu, on the other hand, held her head high and held her chest high, as high-spirited as a young man should be, and also full of vitality as a young man should be.
'Jiang Yi' shook his sleeves, cupped his fists and said slightly apologetically to the three people sitting under the banyan tree: "Brothers, we are passing by here and we hope it's convenient."
The three of them looked at each other, as if they thought the old gentleman was joking, and then laughed, feeling that they and their group were a joke.
Let’s take a look at the names and appearances of the three people:
One person is called Zhao Kuo. He has a muscular body, a black beard, and very dark skin. He has a Chinese character face, halberd eyebrows, big eyes and fish mouth, and is dressed in brocade clothes. He looks very out of place with him, like a black donkey. Wearing an official uniform.
One person was called Li Qian. He was of medium height, wearing a suit of armor with two crotches, and round guards on his chest and back. He had a square face and looked like a down-and-out soldier. There was a slight resemblance between this man's features and that of the old farmer. Judging from the age difference between him and Xiao Yu, they knew at a glance that he was the son of the old farmer.
One person calls him Xiao Python. He is also of a fit figure, but he is dressed more casually. He wears loose clothes and has a bare chest and one arm. A black python tattoo is wrapped around his arm until the snake's head is on his chest. His hair is disheveled and his cheeks are sunken. With a fierce look on his face, he is a difficult person to deal with at first glance.
The three of them looked at their group of six people, four horses, and a donkey, equipped with either swords, fishing rods, or carrying poles. They didn't look like rich people, but the animals they used for transportation were not. It's not cheap. No ordinary people can ride all the way on horseback. At that moment, the few of them who blocked the road concluded that they were wealthy merchants, traveling pretending to be simple farmers in order to avoid robbers like them on the road.
Zhao Kuo sat on the side near the banyan tree, glared at Li Qian, and sneered: "Oh! Li Qian! It's strange, your father has changed his temper. Why did you let this big wave of fat water come over? Today Didn’t you persuade them to take a different path? Sir, I have never seen anyone dare to ride through our Tongzi Forest from upstream."
Li Qian frowned and thought to himself: At the fork in the road, every wave of people passing by from other places would be persuaded by his father to take the mountain road. Why didn't he persuade these people to take a different route today? Could it be that something happened to his father? Sick and bedridden? No, I have to go back and take a look. Although my father had a conflict with me, in the end it was him who pissed him off all the time. He said that he didn't care about him because he was angry. It was impossible to really ignore him.
Zhao Kuo saw that Li Qian was still thinking about something, so he reached out and poked him, and cursed: "Idiot, why are you so stupid, why don't you go up and say hello?"
Li Qian finally regained his composure and was not angry with Zhao Kuo. He reached out and picked up a flat knife on the ground, jumped down from the stone ridge near the banyan tree, stopped in front of several people, and shouted:
"It's okay to travel. I'll leave your horses and donkeys, and all the money you have with you to buy the way." Li Qian snorted lightly, giving himself some confidence, and looked at Xiao Yu and his party.
Xiaoyu looked at Li Qian, who spoke well, didn't look evil, spoke calmly, and didn't look evil, so much so that he didn't look like a highway thief.
Hearing this, 'Jiang Yi' still had a kind smile on his face and asked: "What, little brother, your family paid for the construction of this horse track? Do you still have to buy a road to walk on it?"
Li Qianban hit the wooden fence with his knife, causing the horse to take two steps back in fright, and replied: "Old sir, we are asking for money to kill people. You are such an old man, so I strongly advise you to leave your belongings and leave. Otherwise, don’t blame my knife for being rude.”
Hearing this, 'Jiang Yi' got off his horse, took a ten-tael ingot from his sleeve and gave it to Li Qian, and said to Li Qian, "Little brother, I wonder if these are enough for us to buy a way."
Li Qian frowned worriedly and winked at 'Jiang Yi', wiped his hand under his neck, and then shouted angrily: "I told you, hand over all your money and keep the horses! Only then can you save your life! Otherwise, no one will be spared from the sword. , leaving corpses in the river!"
Dugu Yi thought to himself: This kid winked at me to remind him that the two people above him are not good friends, and that it would be better to give them money and leave, so as not to waste their lives. It seems that they are not bad-hearted, so I will keep him later. life.
On one side, Zhao Kuo took the knife and turned over, stretched out his hand to pull Li Qian's collar, pulled it back, and tore it away, cursing: "Momojiji, you usually kill people and steal goods, you kid Moji, you can't see it." You dead man, go back and farm with your old guy, ah, what a shame. Get out of the way and let me do it!"
