Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 29 Returning with a lot of rewards (seek comments!)
"Tell me, who are you?

"..."

"Lady Qian, get the needle!"

"I said... I said, my name is Liu Bao, the third head of Hudaomen in Songcheng..."

"Not ginkgo bandits? What about them?"

"Ahem...not at all, some of them are refugees from Zuofengsa, and some of them are...local villagers."

"The third head of Hudaomen? How could you be a gangster with a group of refugees?"

"Someone found me. I didn't want to do this kind of thing, but she gave us 100 taels of gold..."

"us?"

"There are also the big head and the second head, and from the other party, it seems that other forces have also been recruited to participate, not limited to the city of Songcheng."

"Who is the other party?"

"I don't know, I have been wearing a veil all the time, I just remember that there seems to be a lotus flower mark on my wrist..."

"You have sharp eyes, Layman Qian. It's better to confirm this kind of key clue."

"Makes sense."

"Don't... what I said is true... there is really a mark on the wrist... I didn't lie... ah! ah!!"

……

puff!

Qian Xuanzhong wiped the blade of the sword, retracted the long sword into the scabbard and hung it on his waist, then looked at Chen Yu who was thinking thoughtfully.

"Chen Daochang, did you think of a clue?"

Chen Yu shook his head. He didn't have any clues. He just felt that human life was worthless in this world. A mere 100 taels of gold could make a group of powerful warriors give up their skins and mix with bandits to raise their butcher's knives against ordinary people.

100 taels is only two thousand in silver, which is a huge sum of money to ordinary people, but it may be that much in the eyes of most wealthy businessmen.But recently, Liu Bao alone killed no less than a hundred people.If we add the first and second masters mentioned by the other party, it is estimated that nearly a thousand people died directly or indirectly in the hands of these three people.

Even he himself had blood on his hands after this battle. Most of those were refugees, the people who were brought along.

Chen Yu put away these messy thoughts in his heart, and didn't think too much about it anymore. After all, what he killed was a person who did evil, a gangster who worked for a tiger, and a bandit with a life on his hands.

There is really no need to empathize with those who are not worthy of death.

Qian Xuanzhong next to him was much safer, calmly cut off Liu Bao's head, wrapped it in a cloth, and said that he was going to take it to the government.

At the beginning, he was still worried that if the forces behind Liu Bao were in collusion with the government, he would jump into the fire pit if he rushed to report to the officials.

But now it seems that it should be just a mouse hiding in the dark, otherwise it would have set off a storm, instead of sneaking around to make troubles in the name of bandits everywhere.

The matter of the lotus imprint is unclear, and the two of them tacitly did not mention it—just report to the official, they are not reckless brats, and it is obviously not suitable for them to continue to investigate further when there are only two of them. .

If you want to check, you have to do it in the dark.

The best way is to let the government intervene as a pusher on the surface.

Furthermore, although Daliang is not peaceful, it is not yet the time to rely on the two young men to turn the tide, and it is not a story in a Chinese novel.

"I won't go to the poor, I have some things to deal with, and I have to trouble layman Qian to deal with it."

Chen Yu said, no matter whether he reported to the officials or not, Qian Xuanzhong would probably publicize the killing of the bandits.What Tsing Yi Sword seeks is fame, and as long as it doesn't go deeper, the forces behind Liu Bao probably won't pay too much attention to this chivalrous man who has always been a chivalrous man.

A chivalrous man, passing by, beheaded a bandit who committed crimes. It was too normal and would not arouse suspicion.

As for Liu Bao... If there is a huge force behind it, then the life and death of a mere third-rate martial artist who is hired with money may not be too important.

If the power is weak, Tsing Yi Jian is not easy to provoke.

It's just that this kind of thing should be left to the other party, a chivalrous man who specializes in wandering the rivers and lakes. He, Chen Yu, is alone, and now he just wants to go to the nearby village to ask which one has chickens. If there is no one, he has to rush to Yungu Village a trip.

At this time, it was approaching noon, and it was too late to go. I would have to walk at night once I came back. The mountain road was bumpy, and climbing the mountain would undoubtedly delay more time.

Being famous doesn't really appeal to him, and he always just wants to live his life on the mountain in peace.

So I lost the leisurely mind of meddling.

At the same time, remind the other party that even if you report to the official, it is best not to go in person, just find someone to report on your behalf.

"alright."

Qian Xuanzhong naturally understood the key.As for Chen Yu's reluctance to be together, perhaps the monks don't like to show their faces and pay attention to fame and fortune, so they hand over the feat of killing bandits to themselves.

Tsing Yi Jian is a free-spirited and casual person. Since others don't want to, forget it, but he will not be rewarded for nothing. The bandit leader subdued by the two of them, especially Chen Yu, helped a lot in solving the large group of bandits. So he couldn't take all the credit with peace of mind.

So he reached out and flicked left and right in his arms, and took out a cloth bag, which was bulging and felt very comfortable to hold.

"Chen Daochang is high-minded, and he doesn't want to get involved in these trivial matters and fame and fortune, but I have to remember this kind of favor, gold and silver and other things must be disliked by the Daoist, so I ask the Daoist not to refuse this bag of Yangzi. "

With the knowledge of herbal medicine learned from the mountain doctor, Qian Xuanzhong picked a lot of herbs along the way, most of which were mixed and taken, leaving only some really rare and rare medicines left.

This bag of Yangzi is one of them. It is rumored that it is the main medicine of the Zhenwu Mountain Dragon and Tiger Dali Pill. I thought I would go to the Central Plains to ask Zhenwu Daoist to smelt the pills, and taste the legendary one pill that gives birth to a hundred qi. , Qi Qi Tong Zhou Tian's magic pill.

But at this time, he handed it over to Chen Daochang in front of him, and he didn't feel distressed.

In Qian Xuanzhong's eyes, Chen Daochang has a handsome figure and a noble temperament. He is undoubtedly a person with profound Taoism, and he has a kind heart, so he is a person to befriend.

After thinking for a while, he untied the small sword at his waist again. It was a bronze sword, depicting flowers, plants, flying clouds, and pictographs written on it.

Chen Yu looked at the two characters and knew each other.

Yuan Hua.

"This is forged by my uncle. Daoist, please hold it. If you meet again by fate in the future, or meet someone from our sect by chance, it can be used as a token."

Qian Xuanzhong said so.What he told Liu Bao before when he fought against Qilianmen was naturally false, and even the torture technique was made up casually to bluff people. He actually came from the Yuanhua sect of the Qiyangmen sect, and his status is not low, he is the second son of the head.

Chen Yu took the two items without refusing them.

It's not about coveting anything, I just feel that the person in front of me is really okay, and I will keep it in mind, if I meet him in the future, I can still drink tea, drink alcohol or something.

At this time, the villagers in Majiatun came out, and the two stopped talking and cleaned up the corpses scattered in the field together.

Amid the thousands of thanks from the villagers, Chen Yu and Qian Xuanzhong bid farewell, and walked away alone, leaving a cool back.

One person asked whether there were chickens raised amidst the enthusiastic surroundings of the villagers.

It's a pity that there is no village household to raise it after asking.

There were a few adult chickens, and some villagers tried to tie them up and give them to Chen Yu, but he declined in the end.

He was in trouble, so he didn't go to get these things.

Without waiting to stop, Chen Yu turned around and left quickly, and accompanied by the village elder holding a spear, he was sent to the river.

Yungu Village has to go east, and after crossing the river, it will arrive at a village called Liujia Village.

I really don't know how the old cattle herding man could run so far to the foot of Qingtai Mountain.

Fortunately, he kept saying that the old man had bad legs and feet.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Yu finally arrived at Yungu Village, but he couldn't see the old cattle herding man. After changing into a Taoist robe, he took care of it to dilute the blood on his body.

Sure enough, he was welcomed by Yungu Village in this outfit, not too enthusiastic, but not at all resistant.

Yungu Village is not small, much larger than the Majiatun and Liujia Villages he passed by before. There are hundreds of households, and the houses are scattered along the waist and foot of the mountain.

It didn't take long to search for it, and several farmers came to the front with their back baskets, which were covered with grass wadding, and the sound of chirping came out from the cracks.

Filled with vitality of life.

With a wave of his hand, without haggling over the price, Chen Yu directly took all the chickens in the basket.

By the way, he also caught one male, two females and three adult chickens, and paid for them together.

He thought, he had never raised chickens, but the old hen should have done so, and it should be much better than him in terms of raising children.

Before leaving, Chen Yu thought about it, and still bought two pieces of meat from a farmer's house, one was wild boar ribs, and the other was flower-tailed pheasant.Adult wild boars are very big. If you encounter them in the mountains, one or two people will not be able to subdue them. I have only heard of them before. I bought some back today and plan to try something new.

The key is to improve the food. The chickens are still young and have been raised for a long time. These two pieces of meat and half a piece of cured chicken in the Taoist temple should be able to satisfy the appetite for a period of time.

Changing out of his Taoist robe and carrying the bamboo basket on his back, Chen Yu returned home with a full load on the green grass amidst a groaning clucking symphony.

　Alas, this episode of the plot collapsed again. I originally wanted to pretend to be a bit of a contrast, but the result is still straightforward.Summarize and reflect, try to write better next time (_)
