Chapter 38 [Yangjiatun] (1)

The sparrow had never slept, and she was still listening to the conversation between the two of them clearly in the tent. Just as the words of You Er in the partition wall, she lifted the tent and walked out, her expression obviously felt a little excited.

Luo Lie pointed at the sparrow and said, "Oh, you are actually eavesdropping on us!"

The sparrow spat and said, "I'm not eavesdropping. The two of you are talking so loud that they can't sleep. Even if they block their ears, they can still hear clearly." She came to Zhang Changgong and sat down: "Brother Zhang, can you tell me where did you hear the place where the blood wolf appeared?"

Luo Lie coughed, thinking that the time for the sparrow was not appropriate. After all, it was the blood wolf who took Zhang Changgong's mother away. If Zhang Changgong's heart was revealed, the sparrow was still a little simpler in dealing with people.

Fortunately, Zhang Changgong didn't mind and sighed, "It should be near Mancangtun, but I have searched all the mountains in that area. Not to mention the blood wolf, I have never even seen the traces of the wolf."

The sparrow said: "Are the blood wolf you mentioned very big, the size of a lion, with different colors in both eyes, one is yellow and the other is blue? The tongue is also blue?"

Zhang Changgong was shocked: "How do you know?" The shape of the blood wolf described by the sparrow was almost exactly the same as the villagers who witnessed the blood wolf that day said.

The sparrow said: "I have never seen a blood wolf, but my father once came to Pale Mountain to explore. He has seen it in a place called Rocca Rock."

Zhang Changgong said: "Luojia Rock? Isn't it on Heihu Ridge?"

The sparrow took out his father's notes, turned to the page about the blood wolf, and handed them to Zhang Changgong. Zhang Changgong smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I can't read!" In fact, many people in the mountains are illiterate, and Zhang Changgong is not illiterate. He can recognize his simple words and his own name, but it only adds up to dozens of words. It is indeed difficult for him to show him the notes.

Sparrow said: "Brother Zhang, let's not hide it from you. This time we came to Pale Mountain to find something. In the past, my dad met a blood wolf on the way to find this thing." She still wanted to persuade Zhang Changgong to join their team. If Zhang Changgong could join their team, it would definitely be of great help to the next action.

Zhang Changgong nodded, but did not say anything. He just took out his wine bag, opened his mouth and drank a big sip of wine. After a while, he whispered: "I haven't been to Heihu Ridge in recent years. Because Heihu Ridge was occupied by bandits, all the beasts have escaped there. According to common sense, the blood wolf would not lurk there, but..." His eyes were fixed on the notebook in the sparrow's hand. The sparrow should not lie to him. The sparrow's father should have seen it with his own eyes, otherwise how could the shape of the blood wolf be recorded in such detail?

Luo Lie took the notes and looked carefully. Ma Boxuan recorded the notes in detail and attached a hand-drawn illustration. The illustration was drawn with a wolf's head, a huge kiss on the fangs, showing his fierce look.

Erdao Ridge is only three hills away from Heihu Ridge. According to normal degrees, they can reach it in one day, but they cannot enter rashly before the situation of Heihu Ridge is discovered. Zhang Changgong's impression of Heihu Ridge is seven years ago, and that was his last time to hunt there. As the bandits in the Langya Village continued to grow, the entire Heihu Ridge was filled with bandit forces, and he never went to the mountain again.

There is a Yangjiatun between Erdaoling and Heihuling. There are several families living in scattered villages, mostly elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who are unable to travel far. Although Yangjiatun is close to Heihuling, it has not been disturbed by bandits in recent years. It is not because the bandits on the mountain have kind hearts, but because Yangjiatun has no things to rob, and the only seventeen remaining people are all struggling to survive on the verge of life and death. Fortunately, there is no shortage of firewood in the mountains, and winter heating can solve the problem. As for eating, you can only rely on the mountains to eat, relying on the mountain goods picked up in the mountains in autumn and hunting few prey in the surrounding mountains and forests to make a living. Although life is difficult, you can at least live a miserable life.

Zhang Changgong would come to Yangjiatun every once in a while to give some food to the elderly, weak, sick and disabled villagers who were detained here. This time was no exception. When he heard Zhang Changgong bringing his friends, the thirteen elderly people who could walk around in the village came out to greet him with a child of more than half of the thirteen elderly people were disabled. What was even more shocking is that their disabilities were not caused by congenital, or lack of brothers and feet, or blind and tattooed noses. He could tell at a glance that they were hurt by humans. After asking Zhang Changgong quietly, he realized that these disabled elderly people were all given by the bandits in Langya Village, which shows the cruelty of the bandits.

The child was named Tiewa, thirteen years old this year. He was the only child who stayed in Yangjiatun. His parents died early, and only one grandmother is now paralyzed in bed. It is precisely because of this reason that he did not escape from the mountain and stayed in Yangjiatun to take care of his grandmother. At a young age, he had already become the head of the family, and in fact he has become the backbone of the village. The youngest group of old people left in the village is over 60 years old. He is either seriously ill or disabled. Only Tiewa, a half-grown child, can be called labor. It can be said that the reason why these old people in the village survive until now is thanks to the care of Tiewa.

Zhang Changgong also happened to pass by the tragic situation in the village, so he often came to help them. He also took the time to teach Tiewa some kung fu to defend himself. This child was not only hard-working but also spiritual, but also made Zhang Changgong appreciate that such a young child is responsible and responsible, but also has a fair heart.

Zhang Changgong distributed the tiger meat he brought to the villagers. Tiewa was already busy cooking. Seeing that he was so sensible at such a young age, Sparrow liked it quite a bit, so he went to the kitchen to help him.

The two of them organized a sumptuous dinner together. Tiewa took the rice bowl to feed his grandmother. After coming back, he saw Luo Lie and the others still waiting for him and said a little embarrassedly: "Master, you and the guests will eat first, and the food will be cold after waiting." Although Zhang Changgong did not officially accept him as his disciple, Tiewa has always insisted on calling him this.

Luo Lie smiled and said, "There is no reason why the host doesn't come to eat first. Tiewa, the food is still hot, come over and have a meal."

Tiewa then came over and sat next to Zhang Changgong. Arnold handed him a bowl of wine that had been poured, and Zhang Changgong blocked him back: "Child, don't let him drink."

The blind man laughed and said, "Golden Retriever, are you covered in your head? How old is Tiewa? Just let him drink?"

Tiewa smiled honestly and said, "I drank it secretly, but I got drunk with only one bowl of wine. I was so scared that my grandma was so scared that I thought I was dead, so I hugged me and cried all night."

Everyone laughed.

Tiewa said: "After the fight, I will never drink again."

Sparrow said: "Tiewa is really filial!"

Tiewa was a little embarrassed by her praise, and looked at her toes with cramped eyes.

Luo Liedao: "Have the bandits from Heihuling come here recently?"

Tiewa shook his head and said, "They have robbed all the valuable things. There are only seventeen people in the village, and they are not interested." He paused for a moment and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, three days ago, a group of people passed by here, dressed very well, and asked about Heihuling."

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional. Luo Lie asked, "Who is it? How many people are there in total?"

Tiewa said: "There are twelve in total, all with weapons, three of which should be soldiers, but they just asked for directions and did not stop."

Zhang Changgong frowned and said, "Is it the military that entered the mountains to suppress bandits?"

Luo Lie said: "Impossible, how could so few people come if it were a bandit suppression?" The bandits on Heihu Ridge are known as two thousand. Even if they have exaggerated and fictional elements, at least there must be more than a thousand people. Twelve people to wipe out such a huge bandit team is tantamount to dying. This team may be to investigate the enemy situation, or passers-by, or just one of the many bandit teams in Pale Mountain. For some reason, Ye Qinghong's shadow suddenly appeared in Luo Lie's heart. When he thought of the separation of Fengtian, Ye Qinghong was full of unwilling expressions. He even worried that Ye Qinghong would not be able to do so.
