Late nineteenth century, winter.
Mongolian border, countryside.
Tian Xiaoting had nothing to do when she suddenly remembered a distant relative, who could be regarded as her aunt. She sent her several messages and asked her to play. It happened that there was nothing going on in the village these two days, so she went to her aunt's house alone.
The uncle is not at home, so the aunt is at home alone. To be honest, the aunt treats Tian Xiaoting well. Although it is said that there is no delicacy from the mountains and seas, the simple rice and tea are quite fragrant.
Tian Xiaoting stayed at her aunt's house for a few days. Her aunt used a red ribbon to braid her hair, took out the only silk and satin in the box, and made her a dress. Although it was said that her aunt's family's capital for doing business outside was given to them by her and her brother Tian Yuping, Tian Xiaoting was still very grateful in her heart!
On this day, my uncle came back. When he got home, he went to the bedroom to open the box. When he saw that the silk satin was not there, he angrily went to settle the account with his aunt.
"Who asked you to give her the red ribbon, and who asked you to take out the silk and satin and make her clothes? These days, the war is raging. It's good to give her a bite to eat, but you still make her clothes?" said my uncle angrily. "Besides, why are you keeping her at our house for these days? You don't have to spend money on food and drink?"
"Please keep your voice down. How can you, a man, say such a thing? You have the nerve to say that with a red-headed rope. Don't forget, the capital for your business was given by your brothers and sisters. Don't ever say that again. What should I do if she hears such heartless words?" His aunt scolded him, "If my brother and sister hadn't helped us with our daily lives, we would have died of cold and hunger long ago. We can't be ungrateful. "
It happened that Tian Xiaoting was passing by their window at this time, and she heard everything they said.
Tian Xiaoting returned to the room, took off her red headband, took off her satin dress, dropped ten taels of silver, left a note for her aunt on the table, and left.
At this time, it was snowing heavily outside, and Tian Xiaoting was shivering with cold. She couldn't care less, so she just took her legs and left without looking back!
Tian Xiaoting was angry as she walked, wondering who her uncle thought she was.
Tian Xiaoting walked back along the road and reached a remote place. When she turned around, she found that there were five or six people following her.
Tian Xiaoting took a closer look and saw that it was broken and she had encountered a bandit.
She usually carries two guns with her, but this time she came here for fun and was afraid of scaring her aunt, so she didn't bring them.
"Girl, stop, don't run!" A bandit shouted from behind, telling Tian Xiaoting to stop.
There is no village in front of it, no shop in back, and it is deserted. It can be said that the sky does not respond to the calls, and the earth and the earth are silent!
Tian Xiaoting was very anxious, speeding up her pace while thinking about countermeasures.
The Mongolian bandits laughed and chased faster, "She is a beautiful girl, don't shoot her, capture her alive!"
At this moment, Tian Xiaoting bent down and picked up a stone.
"Attention, she has a stone in her hand!" One of the bandits discovered it.
"She can also break stones. Well, this girl is quite interesting! I like her!" said another Mongolian bandit.
Tian Xiaoting turned around, raised her hand, and knocked the stone out, hitting a bandit on the head. The bandit let out an "ouch" in pain, covered his head with his hands, and squatted on the ground.
Tian Xiaoting casually picked up another stone, turned around and threw it out, hitting another bandit on the forehead, and blood immediately flowed down his forehead.
When the Mongolian bandits saw that the situation was not good, they quickly took out their guns and fired a shot into the air!
"Stop!" One of the Mongolian bandits got angry, probably a young leader.
Upon hearing that they had fired, Tian Xiaoting did not dare to move anymore.
The man who fired the gun put his gun against Tian Xiaoting's lower back and said, "Don't move! If you move again, I'll kill you. Raise your hands!"
There was no other way, Tian Xiaoting had to raise her hands above her head.
"Very well, as long as you listen to us, we won't hurt you, but if you dare to resist, don't blame us for being rude!" he warned Tian Xiaoting.
After saying that, he started to move his hands and feet to tear Tian Xiaoting's clothes, trying to molest her.
"Help!" Tian Xiaoting was so embarrassed and angry that she shouted.
"Stop, what are you going to do in broad daylight? Stop it!" It happened that a horse came up the road at this time, with a man sitting on the horse.
"Who are you? You are tired of living. You dare to interfere with the affairs of the elders!" The gun-wielding bandit said as he raised his gun and was about to hit someone.
After hearing a "swish" sound, the Meng bandit's gun fell to the ground, and he let out an "ouch" in pain.
It turned out that before he had time to pull the trigger, someone had already hit his wrist with something unknown.
Another Mongolian bandit just drew his gun and was about to shoot. He was hit in the wrist again and the gun dropped. Immediately, the Mongolian bandits didn't dare to move, they were all dumbfounded.
Tian Xiaoting did not expect that the person in front of her would be so fast and accurate!
Tian Xiaoting took the opportunity to pick up two guns from the ground, pointed them at the left legs of these Mongolian bandits, and fired several shots, all of which were discounted and all their guns were handed over.
"My aunt, have mercy on me. I won't dare to do it again next time." These people lay on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"If you dare to do bad things next time and I meet you again, I will smash your heads! Get out!" Tian Xiaoting said.
"Yes, yes, get out of here!" These people supported each other, stood up reluctantly, and limped away.
The visitor was shocked when he saw Tian Xiaoting was so ruthless!
"Girl, are you okay?" The man jumped off the horse, came to Tian Xiaoting, and said, "You are so cruel!"
With that said, he took off his mink coat and put it on Tian Xiaoting.
At that moment, Tian Xiaoting felt particularly warm.
"Girl, you've got yourself into a big trouble! They and their accomplices will definitely make trouble for you again."
"I'm not afraid of them! I don't want to ask my aunt what I do," Tian Xiaoting said.
Then, Dan saw her kneeling down on her knees and kowtowing to the visitor, "My benefactor, I cannot express my gratitude for my kindness. Please accept my bow!"
"Girl, what are you doing?" Zhang Tianhe quickly helped her up and said, "As long as you are fine, why are you here alone? What do you do?"
Tian Xiaoting pondered for a moment, thinking, this is my savior, I can't deceive him, so she said: "My dear friend, to be honest, I am from Tianjiazhai, my brother's name is Tian Yuping, he is the leader of Dazhai, and my name is Tian Yuping. Tian Xiaoting is the leader of the second village, that is, what the people call Huzi."
"It turns out she is the second leader of Tianjiazhai. I'm disrespectful. No wonder her hands are so clean!" The visitor took a breath of air in his heart. It turned out that this girl was a bandit leader. However, he still said calmly on the surface, "Don't It sounds awkward to call me someone who is not benevolent to my benefactor, my name is Zhang Tianhe!"
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Tianhe!" Tian Xiaoting said.
"This is acceptable."
"Brother Tianhe, what did you throw at them just now? It was so accurate!"
"Xiao Zhang flying knife!" Zhang Tianhe said.
"You can also shoot throwing knives? You're so good!"
"You can throw stones very accurately, everyone is talking to each other."
"I'm far behind you," Tian Xiaoting said with a smile, "Since Brother Tianhe and I are destined to meet here, can I ask you a question?"
"Of course, do you have any questions? Just ask!"
"Brother Tianhe, have you married a wife?" Tian Xiaoting looked at him and asked a little shyly.
"Ah, this, this," Zhang Tianhe did not expect that she would suddenly ask this question, "not yet."
"That's great!" Tian Xiaoting said, "Since you don't have a wife and I'm not married, we are all from the green forest, and there's no need to talk in circles with you, so I'll just tell you the truth. Then look at me, little sister. How am I?"
"This, this," Zhang Tianhe thought to himself that this girl has such a big face, "of course you are very good!"
"Brother Tianhe, what do you think about me becoming your daughter-in-law?"
"This, this." Zhang Tianhe blushed. He didn't expect her to be so direct.
"Stop talking about this and that mother-in-law, just say it's okay." Tian Xiaoting said, "I am a straightforward person, straight-tempered, and I don't mince words. However, let me tell you, it's not that I can't get married, and I can't get married either. Not that kind of woman who is flirtatious."
"I know this. I can see that the girl is sincere." Zhang Tianhe paused, "Let me go back and discuss this matter with my mother."
"Let's not talk about auntie for now. Let me ask you something. Do you agree with it?" Tian Xiaoting continued to ask.
"I, I," Zhang Tianhe couldn't help but stuttered a little.
"What am I? Do you agree or not?" Tian Xiaoting wanted to laugh when she saw his embarrassment.
"Sister, I think so, I want to marry you first and become brother and sister," Zhang Tianhe said, "I wonder what you want?"
"A sworn knot with Jinlan?" Tian Xiaoting heard this and said, "So you don't want to?"
"Sister, you can't say that. Look, we just met, right?"
"Well, in that case, I won't force you," Tian Xiaoting rolled her eyes and said, "Then we have to hold a ceremony and kowtow."
"Bow me?" Zhang Tianhe heard this and said, "There is nothing in the barren mountains and mountains here, how can I worship you?"
"Isn't that simple? Didn't you hear people say, pile earth to make a furnace and plant grass to make incense?"
"Well, in that case, let's do as you say."
Just like that, the two kowtowed and worshiped in the ice and snow.
At this moment, another group of Mongolian bandits arrived.
"Quick, get on the horse, you sit in front, I will sit behind to protect you, run!" Zhang Tianhe moved very quickly, jumped on the horse, pulled Tian Xiaoting up, hit the horse and ran away.
Tian Xiaoting was sitting in front, and he was protecting her from behind. At that moment, Tian Xiaoting felt that she was the happiest person in the world.
"Pa" "Pa" the Mongolian bandits fired from behind, "Stop, stop! Don't run!"
They ignored him at all, didn't look back, and ran forward as hard as they could.
"We are from Heiyun Village! If you have the guts, come to us in the village!" Zhang Tianhe shouted loudly.
Tian Xiaoting understood that he was afraid that these bandits would cause trouble in Tianjiazhai, and not everyone dared to cause trouble in Heiyun Village.
