Early the next morning, the three set off again.
Du Yongyu prepared a lot of pancakes in his package, and he generously took them out to share with the two of them.
However, Ye Ming said that it was best not to eat now, save his stomach, and eat later.
After hearing this, Miss Shen followed the good deeds and really kept her belly.
Du Yongyu was not stubborn at all. Seeing that these two people refused to eat, he also stopped eating.
It's just breakfast anyway, no big deal.
Along the way, at noon, the three of them came to a village.
At this time, the sound of gongs and drums was heard in the village, and many people were wearing big red flowers and red coats. They seemed to be having a happy event.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the village head, a villager came forward and warmly invited the three of them to eat on the flowing water mat.
After Du Yongyu asked, he found out that the daughter of the village chief of this village was marrying the son of another village chief.
Both families are old landowners. It was Laba today, so they chose today to get married.
Anyone who passes by the two villages today can have a meal of flowing water.
The three of them went to the banquet and saw that there was a banquet specially prepared for beggars. Although it was just simple white porridge and pickles, it was indeed a big deal for so many people.
Since Du Yongyu was dressed in brocade and was young and handsome, the villagers naturally did not dare to look down upon him. They did not arrange for them to be with the beggars, but treated them as official guests and invited the three of them to sit down.
Du Yongyu didn't want to take advantage of things for free, so he gave some copper coins as a congratulatory gift.
When the villagers saw his arrogance, they respected him even more and greeted him with good wine and food.
While eating local wine and food, Du Yongyu couldn't help but glance at Ye Ming.
The man who said in the morning that it would be better to save food in the stomach seems to be true.
Miss Shen was not surprised by this and just ate the food gracefully.
She was indeed hungry.
Originally, after finishing the meal, they could leave here and continue walking, but Ye Ming said that it would be good to watch the excitement.
Seeing that Miss Shen had no objection, Du Yongyu said nothing.
It was quite interesting to drink hot tea after dinner and watch a few tone-deaf old people singing in the village. But not long after, some villagers suddenly screamed in fear, saying that bandits from the mountain had come down from the mountain and headed straight for the village.
When the village chief heard this, he was immediately horrified.
It goes without saying what the bandit wanted to do when he came down the mountain at this time.
Fortunately, the villagers were not completely unprepared.
Today's meal is not for free.
Many people have picked up hoes, axes, hammers, poles, etc., ready to fight against the bandits.
The well-fed beggars were also mobilized, and the villagers promised to take care of the food for ten days as long as they helped fight off the bandits.
A group of people united together looked very impressive.
Not long after, I saw a man riding a horse in the distance, followed by several people riding donkeys and oxen, and then a group of people running on both feet.
A group of people came shouting and cheering, looking very aggressive and not easy to mess with.
Seeing this, the villagers were a little timid. Many beggars dropped their "weapons" and ran away when they saw the bandits' aura.
Before the fight even started, the momentum of the villagers had already collapsed.
The bandit on horseback was in front of the village. If he looked carefully, he could actually see that he was wearing a pair of badly broken armor. It looked like it was something only found in the army.
Some people were also horrified when they saw the leader.
It turned out that this man was a frontline deserter who fled here and became the king of the mountain. He gathered a group of subordinates and brought trouble to the village for nearly a year.
Most of the young people in the village are gone, and the rest are mainly old, weak, sick and disabled. Seeing the bandit leader coming here in person, many people have already started to feel excited.
The village chief walked out of the crowd and discussed with the bandit leader, hoping to exchange money and food for stability.
When the bandit leader heard this, he laughed loudly and said that the village chief's proposal was feasible.
When the villagers heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
It is naturally a good thing to be able to exchange money and food for stability without having to die.
The villagers raised a thousand catties of grain and ten taels of silver and gave them to the bandits.
After the bandits collected the money and food, they did not retreat.
Seeing this, the villagers were a little angry.
The village chief also asked the other party why he did not keep his promise.
Generally speaking, bandits, bandits and the like rely on the mountains to support them, but they still make some promises.
After all, if you push too hard and make the people really risk their lives against you, it won't be worth it.
The bandit leader saw that the villagers seemed to be angry, but he still didn't take it seriously and laughed:
“After collecting the money and food, logically speaking, it will naturally be refunded.
But today I heard that the village chief is getting married, and we brothers also want to meet the bride. "
As these words came out, a group of bandits behind them also laughed very arrogantly.
When the village chief heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.
The bandit leader didn't care, but insisted on handing over his daughter to the village chief and asked them to take her back to the mountains to live for ten and a half days before sending her back.
The village chief would not agree to this, and neither would the villagers.
Although the village chief is a landlord, he usually treats people like them reasonably. In short, he is much better than the bandits.
Therefore, although everyone was afraid, no one from the village could retreat and escape.
The bandit leader was also angry when he saw that the villagers were so ignorant.
Since he was a deserter, he couldn't stand the unity of the villagers. In his opinion, everyone should run away as soon as they encountered danger.
That way, you won't look different.
Unfortunately, it backfired. Even if he intended to make the bandits roar, he could not scare away the villagers.
Seeing this, the bandit leader decided that it would be better to kill him directly.
As he was riding on his horse, planning to attack, he suddenly saw a young man who looked like a young man rushing out of the crowd.
The man rushed out, holding a sword, and came towards the bandit leader very fast.
When the bandit leader saw this, he knew he was a master and immediately raised his knife to attack.
However, the young master who looked like he was about to attack from the front suddenly dodged, went around to the side, grabbed one of the bandit leader's legs, and pulled him off the horse.
Although the bandit leader had some skills, he was not very strong. He was unable to break the move or release the force when he was pulled. He landed face first on the ground, causing dust to fly everywhere.
Just this one moment, he almost fell to death.
The young master didn't give him a chance to fight back at all. He stabbed out the sword in his hand and penetrated his back.
After the bandit leader's body struggled violently a few times, there was no movement again.
Since the two sides only met face to face, it only lasted a few breaths.
The other bandits in the rear were laughing wildly one moment, and the next moment they saw their boss being beheaded, they were all shocked.
But there were also some people who were either stubborn or lack of brains, screaming for revenge for the boss, and rushed towards the young master.
Someone took the lead, and the bandits from behind immediately rushed up with howls.
The young master who took action was naturally Du Yongyu.
Seeing this group of bandits charging towards them, there was no fear on their faces and they raised their swords to fight.
The villagers in the rear were very excited when they saw the bandit leader being executed. The village chief gave an order and a group of people rushed forward to fight the bandits.
With a master like Du Yongyu in this battle, the result goes without saying.
A group of bandits were defeated and fled in defeat.
This time, the villagers not only kept their money and food, but also harvested many cattle and donkeys left by the bandits.
And, of course, there's the bandit leader's horse.
The bandits were beaten away, and the villagers cheered.
Only Du Yongyu pointed at everyone and said:
"What are you celebrating now? I don't know if the bandits on the ground are dead or not. We are just celebrating here. What if someone pretends to be dead?"
With that said, he walked to the body of the bandit leader and stabbed him from the back to the heart with another sword.
When this was not enough, he twisted the sword in a circle with a movement of his wrist.
In this way, Du Yongyu nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing that all the villagers were looking at him, he said:
"If you see it, just do it like this!"
Hearing this, the villagers imitated his example and began to apply additional blows to the corpse.
It turns out that there are really some bandits who are not dead and some who are pretending to be dead.
But this time they are all really dead.
Some villagers who usually hate bandits very much used an ax to chop off their heads.
Du Yongyu's face twitched when he saw this. From this point of view, his approach didn't seem so bloody...
Ms. Shen only watched the first half of the battle, and did not dare to watch the second half of the final blow. It was too bloody and unacceptable.
Du Yongyu, who was covered in blood, looked a little evil and a little reliable.
This guy is indeed capable.
Fortunately, there was a happy event today. Hot water was readily available in the village, so Du Yongyu took a bathtub from another family to take a bath.
Miss Shen looked at a group of people cleaning up the blood stains on the corpses outside, and felt sick as she looked at the severed limbs.
In particular, one person's head was smashed and his brains flowed all over the floor. Miss Shen almost vomited when she saw this.
Miss Shen, who looked a little pale, hid in the room and did not dare to look outside.
Ye Ming didn't know when he appeared next to her, and he was still in the mood to eat.
Seeing her uncomfortable look, he smiled and said:
"It seems that your heart is still not strong enough. Come on, eat something to calm down."
With that said, he handed the bowl in his hand to Miss Shen.
Miss Shen thought Ye Ming had a good idea, so she took the bowl and saw that what was in the bowl was——
Tofu brain......
Ugh~~~
Under the "last straw" given by Ye Ming personally, Miss Shen squatted on the ground and vomited.
When Ye Ming saw the bowl smashed and the tofu brains spilled all over the floor, he sighed with a smile:
"Hey, what a wonderful bowl of tofu nao, it's such a pity to waste it like this.
Little sister, don’t you know that every step of the way is hard?
It really shouldn’t be such a waste of food! "
"Brother taught me a lesson... ugh~~ Xin Mu knew he was wrong... ugh~~"
The villagers threw all the bandits' corpses into mass graves, dug a big pit, and buried them all at once.
Then he sprinkled a lot of loess on the blood-stained ground in front of the village to cover up the traces.
Such processing makes everything appear normal.
The village chief put a bandage on his hand and felt a little emotional when he saw that it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
Today I defeated the bandits and saved my daughter from getting married. It was really a fluke.
Du Yongyu had already taken a shower and put on the best clothes in the village provided by the village chief, which looked pretty good.
Du Yongyu, who looked refreshed, looked around and saw Ye Ming and Miss Shen missing, so he asked.
He quickly found Miss Shen, who was sitting on a chair in the room with a pale complexion.
Ye Ming was still sitting next to her, eating tofu nao with relish.
As an old Jianghu, Du Yongyu immediately understood what was going on, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He found that this crazy "Brother Shan Yuan" was really damaging in his actions.
It was just a matter between brother and sister, and he couldn't say anything.
The so-called weddings usually take place at dusk.
At this time, the sun was setting in the sky, and it was finally time for the groom to get married.
The two villages are only ten miles apart, so the wedding team should have arrived at this time.
Miss Shen and Du Yongyu heard that the wedding team was approaching, so they both went out to check.
Due to the discomfort of vomiting, Ms. Shen was in a bad state. When she went out, she didn't even cross the threshold and tripped over.
Fortunately, Du Yongyu had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he caught him...
After the two looked at each other, they both looked back awkwardly, not daring to look at each other again.
We came outside together and looked at the truth outside the village.
Both of them have failed to get married many times, and they are extremely envious when they see others getting married.
At this time, the villagers and the villagers were eagerly waiting for the arrival of the wedding team.
But what was waiting for them was not a welcoming team, but a panicked person running towards them.
When this person saw the crowd, he shouted excitedly:
"The groom, the groom is missing!"
...
