"Master Ouyang, you are so awesome. I admire you so much." The little bandit praised Li Yu.
Li Yu looked at this little bandit, somewhat unconvinced, and said, "Really?"
A fat bandit said: "Yes, hero, those moves you just made were so powerful! A powerful internal force knocked us all away!"
Another bandit said: "Moreover, hero, how do you manage to see our movements with your eyes closed? Is it the legendary positioning by hearing sounds?"
All of a sudden, the other bandits also heard praises and kept saying to Li Yu. Li Yu was very happy to hear it, showed a proud expression, and still said modestly: "This is nothing, they are just some things." It's just basic skills. My true abilities haven't been shown yet!" But these bandits did not stop praising Li Yu.
Li Yu suddenly showed a serious face and said: "Okay! Don't think that if you praise me a few times, I will let you go! You usually block roads, rob, and run rampant! Today I will eliminate harm for the people!"
The bandit holding the big knife knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Master Ouyang, these people are all bandits who followed me. If you want to eliminate harm for the people, just kill me. Please let them go!"
Li Yu said: "Are you their leader? That means you still have some skills. Okay, I will arrest you and bring you to the official now!"
At this time, the other bandits also knelt down and begged Li Yu for mercy.
"Master Ouyang, don't take him to see the officials. It's because of this big brother that we can survive until now!"
"Yes, Master Ouyang. We really can't survive, so we have to become bandits here!"
"My hero, the dog officials here don't make decisions for us people at all! If you send Brother Haiwei there, he will definitely die!"
"If it weren't for Brother Haiwei, our family would have died long ago. Just let him go."
Seeing everyone kneeling down to beg for mercy, Zhang Haiwei, the leader, said: "Shut up! Who told you to speak! One person does the work and the other takes responsibility! You are all forced by me, just push everything to me!" Then! He said to Li Yu: "Master Ouyang, my skills are inferior to others, and I am convinced that I am defeated by you. Today, I will let you do whatever you want."
Li saw these people defending this person so sincerely, and he must have something special about him. Just as Li Yu was hesitating, a tall man stood up and said, "Master Ouyang, if you want to arrest someone and bring him to court, arrest me! I am willing to take the blame for Brother Haiwei!"
Zhang Haiwei scolded loudly: "Er Dong! Your brother and sister are still waiting for you to go back. What will they do if you leave?"
Erdong said: "It's okay. As long as Brother Haiwei is here, I believe you will take good care of them!"
At this time, several people expressed their willingness to take the blame for Zhang Haiwei.
Zhang Haiwei said to Li Yu: "Master Ouyang, you can make your own judgment. They have low martial arts skills and can't do anything extraordinary. I did everything. If you want to arrest them, just arrest me! They are all coerced by me." of!"
Seeing this situation, Li Yu said, "Okay! I didn't say to arrest him and bring him to see the official now! Everyone, get up!"
When everyone heard what Li Yu said, they all said, "Thank you, hero! Thank you, hero!"
Li Yu turned his head, walked towards his horse, and said in a arrogant tone: "I won't send it now, but I didn't say I won't send it in the future! You are not allowed to commit adultery again in the future." Just before Li Yu As he mounted his horse and was about to leave, Zhang Haiwei stopped Li Yu.
Li Yu said: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Zhang Haiwei said: "Master Ouyang, in today's matter, it is indeed our fault that we were careless and bumped into you. If you don't mind, please come to our place to have some light food before leaving."
Li Yu was indeed a little hungry at this time, and he didn't know how far it was from here to the town. Seeing Haiwei's sincere attitude, he said, "That's fine."
Zhang Haiwei happily said to everyone: "Okay! Brothers, let's go back with Ouyang Daxia!" Everyone cheered!
Zhang Haiwei and Li Yu were riding side by side. Li Yu asked, "Who did you learn your kung fu from?"
Zhang Haiwei sighed: "When I was a child, I had a master who taught me a few tricks. Unfortunately, he only stayed for a short time and then left. I didn't even have time to ask his name."
Li Yu said: "That's it. Then why did you come here to become a bandit?"
Zhang Haiwei said with anger: "My father was beaten to death. I went to report it to the officials, but the dog officials not only ignored me, but also said it was my father's fault. I argued with them, but they beat me up instead. Later, I I took a knife, rushed in and killed the dog officer, and then I escaped here."
Li Yu said sympathetically: "In this way, this dog official really deserves it!"
Zhang Haiwei said: "Master Ouyang, let me introduce to you the person who introduced us. The little man is called Li Chunlin. Although he is small, he always takes the lead in everything. The tall man is called Chen Erdong. He is a hard-working man. I have an older brother who is not very smart, and a younger sister who is just ten years old. The fat man’s name is Xiong Pan, and we all call him Big Bear. There is also an older one named Liu Cheng, Brother Liu. , he was originally an honest farmer. One year there was a severe drought, the harvest was not good, and he could not pay taxes. The government forcibly confiscated his land. He had no way to survive, so he had to take his wife and children to become bandits. Yes..." Li Yu listened to people talking, and it seemed that everyone had a story, and they were all forced to come here helplessly.
After walking for about an hour, we came to a dense forest. The gaps between the trees were so small that even children could not pass through. Zhang Haiwei dismounted and moved around a few trees. Li Yu felt a slight tremor on the ground. Then he saw that the trees in the forest actually moved, then moved to both sides, and a road appeared in the middle.
Li Yu was shocked and asked: "What is this?"
Zhang Haiwei smiled and said: "This is a formation called Chaos Wood Formation. It was also taught to me by my master at the time. Although I have only learned this one, it has been of great use to me."
Li Yu walked on this road and looked at the trees on both sides in surprise. He saw that after everyone passed these trees, they automatically moved to the situation where they were just closely connected. Li Yu thought to himself: "No wonder I heard people say that they can't catch it all the time." If you see these people, with such a formation as a cover, you will definitely not be able to find their location."
After walking through the woods, I saw several thatched houses, with some women, old people, and children in front of them. Women sewed and children played with each other. Some old people are sitting leisurely at the door, and some old people who can't sit still are carefully taking care of some vegetables and fruits in front of the house. The bandits dispersed and walked towards their families, happily reunited with their families.
Zhang Haiwei said: "Let's go, you can go to my house."
Li Yu waved his hand and said, "That's so embarrassing. Your family is waiting for you to go back."
Zhang Haiwei laughed loudly and said, "I am the only one in my family. Everyone in this place is my family!" Zhang Haiwei rode his horse and led Li Yu slowly towards his residence. On the road, pedestrians greeted Zhang Haiwei one after another.
Li Yu looked at this place with great interest and said, "This place looks a bit like the paradise that Mr. Tao Yuanming said."
Zhang Haiwei asked doubtfully: "Where is that place?"
Li Yu said: "It is almost an isolated place, and the people there live a life without competing with the world. However, they are all self-sufficient, but you are robbing other people's property."
Zhang Haiwei sighed: "We don't want to do this either. But it is too difficult to be self-sufficient. Moreover, cloth is needed to buy clothes, and the elderly and children have to eat some meat. There are also some people who are sick and have to go See the doctor, this all costs money."
Li Yu said: "Do their families know what you are doing?"
Zhang Haiwei shook his head and said: "They don't know. So we asked Ouyang Daxia to help us keep it a secret. We told the public that we were going to work. Sometimes we couldn't bring back the money, so we just said we couldn't find any work outside."
Li Yu nodded.
Zhang Haiwei said: "We've arrived at the place where I live." The thatched house that Zhang Haiwei lives in is the one at the end. The two dismounted and Zhang Haiwei said: "Master Ouyang, please go to the house to rest first. I killed a wild boar on the mountain a few days ago and cooked it for you to try." Then he set up a stove at the door of the house. Put a pot on the shelf, add a handful of firewood, and heat the fire very well. He took out a large piece of meat that was drying on the rack, cut it into pieces and threw it into the pot. He put in some seasonings and the like, closed the lid, and then walked out of the house. Li Yu was a little confused, wondering what Haiwei was doing. After a while, Haiwei came back with a lot of fruits and vegetables in his hands. He cut some radishes, potatoes and other things into pieces, threw them into the boiling pot, and continued to stew.
Zhang Haiwei walked into the room and said to Li Yu: "My hero, are you drinking?"
Li Yu became interested and asked, "Do you have any wine here?"
Zhang Haiwei said proudly: "Yes! There was a caravan a few days ago, and they were transporting wine. We just happened to snatch it. Now, I keep it here. It is definitely enough for us to drink!"
When Li Yu heard that there was wine, he shouted: "Okay! I haven't drank for a long time."
Zhang Haiwei brought some side dishes and then opened a jar of wine. The aroma of the wine, along with the pork stew outside the door, filled the small thatched hut. Li Yu's mouth watered when he smelled the aroma. Zhang Haiwei poured wine for Li Yu, and the two drank heavily. After a few drinks, Zhang Haiwei took a large bowl and filled a bowl full of fragrant potato, radish and pork stew outside the house and placed it on the table. .
Li Yu didn't look unfamiliar either. He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and ate it. Then he took another sip of wine and said with a satisfied look on his face: "It's great! I haven't drank for several days!" Along the way, Li Yu didn't know how long it would take to get to Longquan, so he didn't dare to buy wine. Firstly, he was afraid that he would get into trouble if he drank too much, and secondly, he was afraid that he didn't have enough money.
Zhang Haiwei said flatteringly: "Daxia Ouyang is also a cheerful person!"
Li Yu drank some wine, his eyes were a little wandering, and he said: "Don't call me a hero or not! Meeting is fate. You are older than me, so I will call you Brother Haiwei. You can just call me Xiandi." Come on! Let’s drink!”
"Okay! Drink!" Zhang Haiwei responded to Li Yu, and the two of them continued to drink.
In Yinlong Villa, a man walked up to Li Zhentian and Han Ji and explained everything that happened that night. Li Zhentian had a sullen face and a fierce look in his eyes. It was because he had believed these rumors that he made a big mistake. Han Ji thought about it and said to Li Zhentian: "Zhentian, do you feel that something is wrong with this matter?"
