Chapter 20 Mountain Bandit

Mr. Fan did not insist. He smiled and motioned that the long worker collected the wine pot and let the five people eat. Li Xiaoyao was full of his mind, and his mind was focused on Mr. Fan's words and expression. He only ate food without knowing the taste. Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng were full of vigilance while talking to Mr. Fan. Li Zonggui looked at Li Xiaoyao and Wei Shuisheng also raised his ears vigilantly. Only Li Erhuai ate heartlessly!

After dinner, Mr. Fan placed the five people in the three rooms closest to the outer courtyard. The room had already had a heater, which made the room as warm as spring. The warm room was equipped with tea and ** covered with clean and soft bedding. Li Zongliang thanked Mr. Fan and sent him back from the guest room. He flashed in the door and watched him enter through the crack of the door. In the inner courtyard, he turned around and whispered, "Don't take it lightly. Let's keep it for an hour."

"Well, it's still the old rule. The eldest brother is guarding the head, and then it's me." Wei Shuisheng replied, and Li Erhuai burped and kept nodding: "I listen to my eldest brother."

Li Xiaoyao picked up the outermost bed, yawned and crawled into the quilt. She fell asleep in a moment. There was nothing to do with her during the vigil. Besides, it's useless for her to worry about it now. Anyway, there are big brothers.

One night was safe. The next day, the first ray of dawn had just come out of the sky. Li Zongliang and Li Erhuai had gone out, took the old green donkey out, packed up the car, and prepared to set off on the road.

Li Xiaoyao yawned, climbed out of the warm and comfortable quilt with difficulty, put on a long jacket, poured out the hot water in the heater and rinsed his mouth, washed his hands and face, and finally went out of the guest room door.

Mr. Fan has entered the yard, brought several long workers to send hot porridge, steamed buns, vegetarian buns, meat buns and a few plates of pickles mixed with sesame oil, and greeted Li Zongliang and others for dinner. A long worker led the iron green mule yesterday and came out. Mr. Fan let Li Zongliang with a smile: "This mule will be used for you. At least it's better than that old donkey. The road from here to South Vietnam is not easy to walk. With this stronger mule, there are many conveniences on the road.

Li Zongliang was stunned for a moment, reacted for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and refused, "Sir, you are too polite. This can't be done. This mule is worth seventy or eighty taels of silver at least. Anyway, I dare not accept it!"

Mr. Fan glanced at the busy long-term worker in the distance, smiled, and said in a slightly lower voice, "Take it. If you go further, it is Zheng Cheng. Although it will soon be able to enter Nanyue, the faster it is, the easier it is to have an accident. This strong mule does not run much slower than a horse. It's really something. Maybe it can peak. Yes, although my family is not good, I can still afford to send a mule. Several of them are kind and blessed people. I will make friends with you. When we meet again in the future, maybe I will rely on you!"

Li Zongliang didn't know how to refuse for a moment. He quickly turned his head and looked at Wei Shuisheng and others. Li Erhuai and Li Zonggui turned their heads and couldn't move their eyes on the iron green mule. Wei Shuisheng looked at Li Zongliang and hesitated and said, "This is also Mr. Fan's kindness•••••"

Li Xiaoyao looked at Li Zongliang with full expectation. Naturally, she wanted this mule. If it hadn't been for them, the wolves last night might have had to eat his son. This kindness of saving his son was not expensive at all.

"Hmm." Li Zongliang agreed and bowed to Mr. Fan and thanked him, "My brother won't refuse any more. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you for your gift today."

"That's it."

Mr. Fan breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on his face, and ordered the long worker to take steamed buns, a few kilograms of cooked meat, pickles, bean cakes for feeding mules, directly loaded more than half of the car, and asked people to take two wolf skins and smiled, "I asked people to skin the wolves that several heroes beat yesterday, but it's too late for the sheath. , there are only these two wolf skins at home, and the remaining four are biased by me!"

"You're welcome, you don't have to use these two!" Li Zongliang hurriedly refused, but after all, he still collected the two sheathed wolf skins and spread them in the car. Several people packed up and stopped. Li Erhuai excitedly took Tieqing's mule. Several people resigned from Mr. Fan. Li Xiaoyi sat in the car, waved goodbye to the old green donkey, and left the village and rushed all the way to Zhengcheng.

With this extremely strong and handsome big green mule, everyone finally dared to sit in the car and rest. Except for Li Xiaoyao, the other four people took turns to lead the mule on their way.

walked for another eight or nine days and listened all the way. There were still two or three days away from Zhengcheng. Several people were nervous and excited, and dared not be careless. They far bypassed the more and more and dense military camps, and only dared to take a remote road.

In the afternoon, after a piece of stone in the east of Lianyunshan, southeast of Zhengcheng, there were more than a dozen men of different ages squatting. Each man held a wooden stick in his hand. The length and thickness of the wooden stick was different. Some of the bark on the wooden sticks had not been peeled clean, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at the front and lying down the mountain. The two people looking at each other.

The two people in the front, a man and a woman, are not tall. Although they are thin, they look extremely strong. Their faces are round like pot helmets, their eyes are also dripping round, their eyebrows are thick and short, and their lips are thick out, as if they have been popping their mouths. At this time, they hold a sharply grinding woodcutter in their hands and staring nervously at Tang County. A car, a mule and a few people coming over.

"Sister, this designation is a rich man. Look at that mule! No worse than a horse! It's worth hundreds of taels of silver! Sister, you must do this ticket!" The round-faced man licked his thick lips and stared at the iron green mule with saliva, and couldn't move his eyes. The sister squatted next to the round-faced man with a round face and round eyes, but she was much more beautiful than the man. Her hair was tight into a bun behind her head. She was strong and dressed in short clothes. She looked very neat. Now she was frowning and staring at the car, mule and people under the mountain.

"Well, there are four people in total. Let's see if there are any people behind." The sister replied that the round-faced man waved his hand behind his back. More than a dozen men suddenly became nervous, swallowed and waited to rush down. As soon as the business started, they had done it twice. Once they didn't grab anything. Once, they didn't expect that they hired a darts master and were beaten all over the mountain by the darts masters.

"Don't hurt people later, just grab things." My sister turned around and solemnly told her that more than a dozen new mountain bandits nodded nervously, clenching the wooden stick in their hands, half squatting, waiting to rush out behind the round-faced man.

Li Xiaoyao sat leisurely at the door of the car, with his legs hanging around, looking up at the snowy mountains next to him, and gossiping with Wei Shuisheng: "Brother Shuisheng, the scenery here is really good. You can enter the poem. Brother Shuisheng can write a poem. It's okay to read one."

"The poem of aquatic life is not as good as my reading! I'll read you a good poem, and you listen: There is snow everywhere!" Li Erhuai jumped over and rushed to read. Li Xiaoyao shook his body and smiled. Li Erhuai stretched out his arms and stroked out. He was about to read down. Suddenly, a snow fog burst in front of him, and a group of people shouted and rushed down the mountain.

Li Zongliang, who was walking at the front, stared at the snow fog and shouted, "There are mountain bandits! Xiaoyao got out of the car, took the mule, and the noble son protected Xiaoyao, aquatic, Erhuai, and took the guy!"

Wei Shuisheng and Li Erhuai were standing on the edge of the car, reaching out and pulling out the knife and gun. Wei Shuisheng jumped forward, handed the long gun to Li Zongliang, and stood on the right side of Li Zongliang with a gun. Li Erhuai held a stick and handed the saber to Li Zonggui. Holding a wooden stick, he jumped to the left side of Li Zongliang. Li Xiaoyao jumped out of the car and jumped out of Li Zonggui's hand. Li took the mule reins, and Li Zonggui protected Li Xiaoyao with a knife. Through the gap between Li Zongliang in front of him, he looked at the group of bandits who rushed down from the mountain.

When he rushed to the bottom of the mountain, the last mountain bandit was tripped by something. A man fell to the front. The person in front of him fell down and did not rush to the bottom of the mountain. He fell more than half of his own people first, and more than half of them simply rolled all the way to the bottom of the mountain. Li Xiaoyao looked with his eyes bent and smiled. I'm afraid these mountain bandits are still new. They are not only raw, but also powerful.

Li Zongliang looked at Wei Shuisheng and almost laughed. Li Erhuai simply laughed. Li Zonggui smiled and muttered to Li Xiaoyao, "You are so stupid that you dare to be a bandit." Li Xiaoyao nodded with approval.

The young man who rushed to the front and danced a machete looked back. He blushed with anger and stamped his feet. He didn't care about the group of men behind him who fell down and rushed towards Li Zongliang and others fiercely with a few people who had not fallen.

"Brother, let me do it!" Li Erhuai said with a grin.

"Good! Be cautious!" Li Zongliang looked at the bandit leader who rushed all the way and said with a little relaxation. Looking at this step, he has never practiced, and there is no rules, but he is very strong. If he fights for brute force, there are not many people who can beat Erhuai.

Li Erhuai smiled, jumped two or three steps forward, stepped steadily, and watched the bandit leader rushing over. The stick skillfully raised, flicked the firewood knife in the hand of the robber leader, and pressed down the stick with his backhand. At one stroke, he gnawed a dog from the mountain bandit leader with a round face everywhere and lay on the ground. Wei Shuisheng jumped He picked up the firewood knife and threw it to Li Zonggui.

"Bah! Just like you, do you still want to rob as a mountain bandit?!"

Li Erhuai took a bite of the bandit leader, stepped on the buttocks of the round-faced bandit, and put his head against the back of the bandit with a stick. The bandit who desperately wanted to get up kicked his legs, but he could not move at all. The bandits holding firewood sticks in the back did not dare to rush forward any more. They turned their heads to look at their sister who followed the round-faced mountain bandits.
