Chapter 28 Danyang Bandit
Zhou Ke chased him and heard that he had found an abandoned Taoist robe by the roadside. Zhou Ke followed him and picked it up with a knife to look at it. He thought it was Qin Wei's work. The nearest big city was Zhenjiang, and it was immediately ordered to go straight to Zhenjiang City. Because Qin Wei and Linger were walking, Zhou Ke and others actually arrived in Zhenjiang first and laid a trap in the city. As soon as Qin Wei arrived, they wanted to catch turtles in an urn.
Qin Wei and Linger came out of Changzhou and walked all the way from the path. When they passed Danyang City, Linger was thirsty and tired because they ran for many journeys with their arms. They couldn't walk to a bamboo forest, so they told Qin Wei to sit down and rest for a while before walking. Qin Wei also felt thirsty, so he left the two of them here and went around to look for water. Unexpectedly, when he came back, he couldn't find Linger and Manxiu. When he looked closely at the ground, there was a purse embroidered with peach blossoms between the stone seams. Qin Wei recognized that it was sewn by Linger for him when Manxiu was one year old. Qin Wei realized that it was not good and hurried along the road. Soon, he met a woodcutter who had just come to cut trees in the forest. Qin Wei asked him if he had seen a woman holding a child. The woodcutter replied, "I just arrived and didn't see any woman passing by with a child in her arms. But..." "But what?" You're not a local, are you?" Yes, I took my wife and children to the capital to visit relatives and passed by. Because I went to look for water, I didn't want to come back, but I lost my wife and children." Oh, so it is. This place is called Bamboo Forest Village, which is named after the lush bamboo forests around it. It was also a peaceful place. Since five years ago, two bandits came here, occupied the village and the mountains, and gathered hundreds of people on the mountain. However, no one dared to provoke them, and even the government couldn't help him. Later, the government simply went to the mountain for filial piety during the Spring Festival to seek two peace. The two bandits were originally two brothers, one called Boss He and the other called He Lao Er. The eldest was reckless and made the two sledgehammers as strong as cattle. The second brother is smart and cunning, but his martial arts skills are mediocre. He uses a simple knife. Another point of the second brother is that he is particularly lustful. As long as the woman is a little beautiful, she will be robbed by him. I don't know how many good women have been spoiled. Hearing this, Qin Wei looked angry and shouted so much that it was unreasonable. This shout shocked the woodcutter, only because he was really majestic and shocked. The woodcutter calmed and continued to say, "Don't worry, this brother, listen to me. When the two occupied the back mountain for three years, that is, two years ago, a good man passed by and happened to meet the two brothers of the He family who were robbing a woman. The good man's martial arts were excellent. At that time, he used his ability to capture the two people. When he was about to kill them for the harm for the people, he saw the two brothers admit their mistakes and begged him not to hurt his brothers. . Seeing that the two were still a little righteous, the good man let them go, but they vowed not to do such harmful things from now on. Since then, the two brothers of the He family have been very restrained and have not plundered a poor or woman. Oh? So, did the two brothers repent? Do you dare to ask the name of the good man?" However, Qin Wei asked why he asked the name of the good man. It turned out that Qin Wei was the most knowledgeable hero. When he met such a good man, he couldn't help asking. Listen to me in detail. However, he said that since he learned the good man's lesson and got his life to spare, the two brothers of the He family invited him to go up the mountain, drank wine for several days, and invited him to join the partnership many times. After discussing, they only robbed the rich to help the poor and walk for heaven. The hero said that he happened to intervene on his way home. Seeing that the two brothers were righteous, he stayed for a few days, but now he is going down the mountain to go home. The two brothers of the He family couldn't hold back, so they sent a lot of gold and silver to the good man and sent him down the mountain to return home. Unexpectedly, a year ago, this hero actually returned to this place and joined the group. He worshipped the two brothers and called himself He Laosan. As for his original name, no one knows. Speaking of this, Qin Wei frowned and thought about how the original chivalrous man fell into the grass and became a bandit, which was very unpleasant. So, now it's a three-person robbery?" Since He Laosan came, the thieves on the mountain have expanded several times, but they have rules and only intercepted unrighteous wealth. They have done nothing to the people, but they are also called righteous thieves. There are no beasts around. Presumably the disappearance of the little lady must have something to do with the cottage. I'm afraid my brother will have to ask these people in person. But Boss He has a hot temper. Brother, be careful!" Thank you so much!"
Qin Wei ran all the way to the foot of the mountain according to the way the woodcutter showed him. However, this mountain is really dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Flags are flying around the mountain, and the defenders are orderly, just like the platoons in their battalion. Qin Wei couldn't help but be shocked.
Qin Wei was about to consider how to enter the cottage to save Linger, but when he saw the cottage door open, a small team came out, but the pace was neat and orderly. Obviously, Qin Wei knew that the bandits in this place could not be underestimated, so he was more careful. In the middle, there was a tall horse, dancing two sledgehammers, with deep eyebrows, round eyes and a fierce face. Needless to say, it should be the boss He said by the woodcutter. Boss He heard that rich people were passing by and was about to lead the little guys down the mountain to rob. After Boss He and others left, the cottage door was closed and there was no way to start. Qin Wei had to quietly follow Boss He's team to see if there was an opportunity to enter the cottage.
Qin Wei wanted to knock down a roa, put on his clothes and followed Boss He into the cottage. However, when he saw that everyone robbed several merchants who had no power to bind chickens, he couldn't help helping them, knocked over many little guys, and hurt Boss He with a knife. Mr. He was in a hurry, but he lost more and more in the war. He had to take time to ride a horse while the crowd was fighting with Qin Wei. Qin Wei stunned the horse with stones in the distance. Boss He was overturned to the ground, but Qin Wei had no time to take care of many people. Boss He still limped and fled back to the cottage under the cover of the crowd.
I had prepared a banquet in the cottage. When the second brother and the third brother returned triumphantly, they were surprised to see Boss He's return. I asked what was going on. Boss He was angry and told the process just now. After saying that, he was even more angry and wanted to order troops to go out to capture the person who injured him. He Laoer saw that the eldest brother was at a loss and thought that this man must have extraordinary martial arts. If the eldest brother fought again, he would inevitably hurt his life. His eyes turned and he took the initiative to fight. He Laosan, who was beside him, advised them not to be impatient and wait to find out before making a decision. Unexpectedly, He Laoer didn't listen and led two teams out.
At this time, Qin Wei had returned to the door of the cottage and saw another person coming out, with a long thin face, beard, and a simple knife. Qin Wei thought that this was what the woodcutter said. When He Laoer saw Qin Wei, he patted his horse forward, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Who is coming? You can report your name!"
"People who draw a knife to help each other on the road! You don't deserve my name!"
"But you hurt my eldest brother?"
"In the light of day, the universe is bright, how can children and other rats run rampant here!"
"Hmm! What a bold! You dare to take care of our brother! It seems that I'm tired of living! Well, let me give you a ride!" With that, he patted immediately. At that time, Qin Wei looked up on one side and swung the knife in his right hand at the horse's hoof. He only heard the tragic hiss of the horse next to him. He Laoer fell to the ground before he could take action. When he stayed on the ground and rolled a few times and was about to get up and fight again, he felt that a cold knife had been put on his neck.
