Ten miles south of the town is Woniu Mountain. At the foot of Woniu Mountain is the official road leading to the south. I heard that a group of bandits have appeared in the mountain in recent years, but they all rob the rich and give to the poor, so the people in the town are not afraid. But if those wealthy businessmen want to go south, they must pass by I'm always on tenterhooks when I'm down the mountain.
Around noon, they had arrived at the foot of Woniu Mountain.
After walking all morning, the sun makes me feel comfortable all over, but it makes me feel a little thirsty after being in the sun for a long time.
Wang Rengui rode a horse and walked in front of the escort team. Naturally, we can see farther and wider than others.
"There is a small tea shop in front." Wang Rengui turned around and said to the junior brothers below: "I think everyone is thirsty. Let's go there to drink a bowl of tea to quench our thirst before leaving."
After a while, the six people arrived at the door of the small tea shop. Extraordinary took a look and found that the shop was indeed very small. It was built with a straw shed. A flag with the word "tea" hung above the shop. Outside the shop, There were three long tables and a few benches arranged haphazardly, but it was relatively clean.
"Shopkeeper, you only sell tea here, do you sell other things?" Wang Rengui got off his horse and shouted towards the store.
"Guests, this place mainly sells tea, but there is also some braised beef." A little old man in his fifties or sixties walked out of the shop happily.
"Bring me a few pots of tea and cut a few kilograms of braised beef." Wang Rengui said, sitting down around a long table with the other five people.
Soon, several pots of tea and several kilograms of beef were brought up. It was better to eat beef for lunch than eating dry food. Everyone started to put it on the plate.
"Wait a minute," Xiao Mufeng suddenly said, "Brothers, please wait a moment."
"Mu Feng, what's wrong? What's the matter?" Wang Rengui stopped his chopsticks and looked up at Mu Feng and asked.
"Senior Brother Wang, this is at the foot of Woniu Mountain!" Xiao Mufeng smiled and continued. "Are you sure that this old man is not a bandit from Woniu Mountain? What if the tea or meat is poisoned?"
When everyone heard this, they all secretly said that it was a big risk, but it was really unjustifiable to ignore the tea in front of them and not drink it, and not eat the beef in front of them.
The little old man also heard Mu Feng's words, and just looked at them with a smile and did not refute, but his eyes stayed on Mu Feng for a little longer.
"Then what do you think we should do?" said the senior brother named Fan, "How about we let the old man try it first?"
"It's useless." Mu Feng shook his head and said, "If the old man takes the antidote in advance, he will be fine even if he takes it."
"Mu Feng, if you have an idea, just tell me!" Chen Feifan said.
Mu Feng knew that the person who knew him best here was Chen Feifan. He glanced at the five people around him and the old man, and said: "There is only one way, and that is to sacrifice one of us here and let him eat first to see if he has any There is no reaction. If there is no reaction, everyone can eat it with confidence."
"Oh, that's easy." Wang Rengui said with a smile: "Juniors, I am your senior brother, I should give it a try first. But I am taking the lead on this mission. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, you should do it."
Everyone listened to the first few sentences and admired Senior Brother Wang, but after listening to the last few sentences and seeing Wang Rengui's evil smile, they became more and more unhappy. It was obvious that he didn't dare to try, and he said so many righteous and awe-inspiring words, which moved others in vain.
But seriously, who is willing to try it first?
"I'll do it!" Fei Fei's words broke the previous embarrassing scene.
"Brother!" Mu Feng didn't want Chen Feifan to take this risk.
Feifan picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he said: "I think it's not poisonous. I can trust that old man. Anyway, I'm hungry, so I'll eat later."
The old man had been listening to the conversation of the six Fei Fei and remained silent. At this time, he watched Fei Fei eating beef with a trace of approval in his eyes.
Drinking fragrant thirst-quenching tea and eating delicious beef, Feifei felt that this was really a pleasure.
When Xiao Mufeng saw Fei Fei eating, he was heartbroken and started to eat with Fei Fei. Anyway, now he was a relative like Fei Fei, and he wanted to die together.
After half an hour, everyone saw that Fei Fei and Mu Feng were fine, and their stomachs were already starving, so they served a few more pots of tea, cut a few kilograms of beef and started eating.
"Brother, why did you dare to eat just now?" Mu Feng watched the others gorge themselves and asked Chen Feifan quietly.
Feifan smiled and said: "I have two reasons. The first reason is that since you don't want to eat, someone must stand up, so I will stand up. The second reason is also the most important reason. , it’s just that it can’t be poisonous here.”
"Why?" Mu Feng looked at Fei Fei a little puzzled.
While looking at the old man not far away, Feifei said softly to Mu Feng: "The bandits have been here for several years, and I think this teahouse has been open for several years. If anyone has been poisoned by drinking tea here before, , then who else will come here to drink tea, then it is not a waste to open this tea shop. Therefore, this tea shop will not poison, but the old man should not be simple, he is probably the spy of the bandits on Wuniu Mountain. Since he There is nothing suspicious, and we cannot hurt people for no reason, but we may not be careless until we go out of Woniu Mountain."
"Yes!" Mu Feng now admires this elder brother more and more. Not only is his talent in swordsmanship better than his own, but even though he usually looks stupid, he is more considerate than anyone else at critical moments. of thoroughness.
The remaining four people had a full meal, gave the old man a piece of silver, and then the six people set off again.
An hour later, Wang Rengui and the others were about to leave the boundary of Woniu Mountain.
"I didn't pick this tree, I didn't make this road. If you want to pass by, I will leave money behind."
I saw a group of eight people running out from both sides of the official road. The leader was a man in his thirties, who was the one who spoke just now.
"This eldest brother" Wang Rengui pretended to be calm, got off his horse in a hurry, cupped his hands towards the man and said: "We are just passers-by and don't have much money. Please let us go."
Wang Rengui said that, but he was scared in his heart: "Damn, why are you so unlucky? We were about to leave the boundary of Woniu Mountain, and just when we were about to relax, eight bandits came out. There were more than us. Two of them, it seems difficult to deal with."
The man sneered and said: "Hmph, hum. You are telling lies. What is in the box behind you?"
"Senior Brother Wang, stop talking nonsense to him and draw your sword." Feifan knew that this battle was inevitable. It seemed that his guess just now was correct. The old man was indeed an informant. How else would they know there was a treasure chest in their team and show up now when vigilance is at its lowest?
After what happened just now, his extraordinary fearless spirit has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the four of them, and they couldn't help but admire him.
With a "choking" sound, the six people took out their swords at the same time.
The eight bandits saw the sword in Fei Fei's hand standing in front of the team at a glance, and they all laughed.
Chen Feifan did not hesitate. At the moment when they laughed at the sword in his hand, he flew towards the big man standing at the front of the bandit team and stabbed him.
