Chapter 8 The Road Meets Beard
"It's not that it's ten miles from the town, but it's ten miles from this mountain." Meng Youtian explained: "This is a branch of Taihang Mountain. This mountain is called Niubei Mountain. Where did you come from?"
"We came from Wuding on the flat ground and walked for four or five days!" A Xiu said, "While inquiring and walking, I don't know how many roads I have walked, I guess it's not close."
"Wu Ding, yes, I've heard of it." Meng Youtian nodded, dragged the shelf to the side of the road, and said, "There is a sound of horse hooves, someone is coming in front, let's go aside."
After a while, the two riders rushed towards each other. Seeing someone in front of him, they slowed down. They stared at Meng Youtian and the other three with their vigilant eyes and inserted their hands into their arms. After seeing Meng Youtian's hunter dress, A Xiu, and Man'er with round eyes on the air, they looked at each other and rode forward again.
Meng Youtian frowned and waited for the two riders to walk away before he said to A Xiu: "Cover your face and walk with your head down. Don't look around. There will be a large group of people passing by later. This is--" He shook his head and stopped talking, not wanting to scare A Xiu.
Ah Xiu didn't understand why, and saw that Meng Youtian was so serious that he was not inconvenient to ask more questions, so he quickly did as he said.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves sounded. This time, there were really a large group of people, with more than a dozen riders, all of whom were strong men, talking and laughing loudly and stepping on the snow.
Meng Youtian winked at Axiu, both of them lowered their heads and slowed down, hoping that the team would pass by quickly.
The sound of horse hooves kicked and kicked, passing by, and each sound seemed to hit Meng Youtian's heart. He was hoping for peace and nothing could happen and pass by this group of evil spirits.
"Huh?" Someone suddenly made a surprise sound among the rider, and the sound of horse hooves suddenly slowed down. Someone turned his head around and followed Meng Youtian, shouting: "Stop, I have something to ask you."
Meng Youtian complained secretly, so he had to stop, turn around, and look up at the knight who was speaking.
The knight was wearing a fur coat, a fur hat on his head, and a scarf on his face. Only eyebrows and eyes could be seen. If it weren't for the implicit evil spirit, it would be very pretty.
"Is that the prey you killed? Is it a leopard?" The knight pointed to the wooden rack, his voice was quite thick, but Meng Youtian felt that he pretended it on purpose.
Meng Youtian looked back and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It's okay. The prey covered by weeds is nothing else, but the leopard's tail was exposed at some point.
"Yes, that's the leopard I beat." Meng Youtian could only answer honestly.
"You are your legs? Take it down and I'll take a look." The rider jumped off the horse and stared at Meng Youtian with some suspicion. Several more knights came over and circled around with a smile.
Meng Youtian nodded and whispered to A Xiu. A Xiu walked over and carried Man'er down. Meng Youtian lifted up the weeds and dragged the golden leopard out.
The rider who dismounted the horse circled around the leopard, kicked the leopard with his feet, and observed carefully again. A big man nodded his head and said, "No, it's such a good-looking man."
Meng Youtian swallowed and wanted to say something generous, and used this leopard to send the group away, but he felt really distressed.
While hesitating, the rider had finished observing and looked at Meng Youtian and said, "Sell it to me, you can offer a price."
Meng Youtian smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how much I can sell, please take a look!"
"Look at it?" The rider narrowed his eyes and teased: "I'll give you a copper plate, where are you doing?"
Meng Youtian scratched his head and didn't know how to answer. He couldn't afford to mess with these people even if he didn't give it to him!
"Don't tease this young couple, it's not easy to take care of their families." The man immediately put on his hat with a horse whip, revealing a scar on his left eyebrow, and smiled: "Fifth, give the money, we are still in a hurry to go!"
"I know!" Another big man reached out to take out the bag on the horse, and a roll of ocean wrapped in red paper was already in his hand. He thought for a while, and twisted it. The roll of ocean had been divided into two pieces, saying, "It's good-skinned, worth twenty oceans." As he said that, he gently pushed the horse's head and handed the ocean in his hand to Meng Youtianyi, "Boy, take it!"
Meng Youtian hurriedly took it with both hands, nodded vigorously, and said, "Thank you, my uncles."
The two men jumped off the horse, threw the leopard on the horse's back, and then got on the horse one after another. The rider with beautiful eyes and evil spirits came on the horse and turned around and said to Meng Youtian: "Go home quickly, don't go to the town, be careful of disaster." After that, he pulled his head and left.
Meng Youtian looked at the figure disappearing from the distance, let out a long breath, greeted Ah Xiu, pulled up the wooden shelf and accelerated his pace.
After walking in a depressed manner for a while, A Xiu couldn't help but feel confused and asked, "Brother Ai Tian, who are they? It's not too bad to give money to the things."
Meng Youtian shook his head gently and said, "If I guess correctly, they are beards from the mountains. Today we are lucky. The one we met was from Jiulongtang. The one with a scar on the left eyebrow should be Liu Wushuang, who is still a more benevolent."
"Lag people compete for food, and heroes compete for their goodness." Bearded men are bandits. If they do not harm the poor, the people will not have much disgust towards these bandits who fight against violence and protect the good and rob the rich and help the poor. They still regard them as heroes in "Water Margin", and Liu Wushuang happens to be one of them.
It is said that Liu Wushuang was originally a poor man. He had been a child and had a cattle for the landlords, and was lonely and lonely. He was upright and loved to stand up for the unfairness. He was also extremely powerful and powerful. It happened that his nickname was also called Xiao Gemini, and someone called him Liu Wushuang. This loud name was quickly recognized by everyone, and his original official name was lost. Later, he became a master from Cangzhou who came to perform in art, and then he traveled around for five or six years before returning. Now, he had both strength and martial arts, and Liu Wushuang was even more amazing.
Soon, Liu Wushuang connected with the poor villagers and established a big sword club to resist the government's heavy taxes and the exploitation and oppression of landlords and gentry. The county government colluded with the landlords and landlords and landlords and gentry, falsely claimed that Liu Wushuang rebelled, led troops to suppress, threw Liu Wushuang's pregnant wife into a prison, forcing Liu Wushuang to surrender. His wife was weak in physique and could not withstand all kinds of torture, and died in prison. Liu Wushuang was extremely sad and angry when he heard the news, gathered friends, disguised himself into the city, and took advantage of the opportunity of the county magistrate to attend the banquet to catch the villain, dragged it to his wife's grave, and cut it into two pieces, resulting in the life of the county magistrate's dog. This happened more than ten years ago, and it was a sensation at that time. Enlightenment Novel Network
