Three and a half women in four courtyards

Chapter 13

Zhuizishan and Liangchufu are adjacent counties, and the market is more lively than Liangchufu.

Hou Mingli made a fuss about staying in the shop, and then went to the pharmacy with Cong Sihuang to find the white flower snake, and bought some special medicinal materials that could not be bought in the Liangzhu Mansion.

The next day, the three packed up and drove to the road.

Seeing that the carriage climbed up the cangzi dam beam, this was a place of right and wrong, the two adults sat in front, watching the road ahead with high nervousness, lest there would be beards robbing the road.

Climb to the top of the beam, and run down the mountain road all the way to the bottom of the beam. The carriage was a little bumpy, and when the wheels ran over a big rock, it got a little high, and threw the short feet sitting behind it out.

The two adults patronized and concentrated on looking ahead, unaware that the short feet were thrown halfway.

The short feet told the boy that he was more honest, so he crawled up on the ground, only yelled twice, neither cried nor yelled, and ran after him, trying to catch up with the carriage and climb back into the carriage.

But after all, he was young, and he still couldn't run a horse. He watched the carriage go farther and farther.

The carriage was running ahead, and when it turned a corner, the two of them were excited and braked quickly.

Standing in the middle of the road was a man holding a pistol, his face was covered with a rag, and only his eyes were exposed.

"Ang! Stop for me! Go on, I don't have eyes for this flying firewood (bullet)! Keep the presser (horse) and pieces (money) all, friends touch the code (meeting) to ask for money or not Life!"

What are you afraid of? I really met a beard.

The bearded man was talking nonsense, Hou Mingli heard it, and quickly stopped the carriage by the side of the road.

The beard gestured with a gun, dragged them to two trees, told them to turn their faces away, then pulled out a rope from his waist, and tied them to the two trees.

From the heart of the Four Emperors, if no one came to help those who were tied up in this wilderness, they would have to be picked up by evil spirits if they were not frozen to death at night.

He begged Huzi and said: "Oh, brother, I am a doctor. I heard that you are in this business, don't grab the doctor. Just let us (us) go."

The beard was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a while and said: "Ang, I eat a lot of food and turn around (do everything). I don't have so many familiars (partners), so I will rest after finishing this ticket (quit doing) !"

After finishing speaking, he put the gun on his back belt, pouted his buttocks and searched the two of them.

At this time, Short Legs caught up and saw someone from a distance tying his father and the Fourth Emperor to a tree.

He ran over quickly.

When Hou Mingli saw the short feet running over, he was so anxious, he quickly gave him a wink and asked him to hide.

Shorty looked at Hou Mingli with a wink and didn't move, but his eyes were fixed on the gun on the waist of the bearded man.

The bearded man was busy searching the body with his butt pouted, and didn't see Shorty at all.

Shorty took advantage of this gap, ran over suddenly, and snatched Beard's gun into his hand.

The bearded man was startled, and when he turned around to see that it was a child, he felt relieved: "Ang, he's a brat, he's good enough to be honest (courageous)! Will you let him go?"

Apparently, the beard didn't pay attention to the short feet, and walked over in a big way. Just as he was about to grab the gun, the short feet got nervous, and his fingers pulled the trigger, and the gun went off.

After the sound of "Ba--", the beard rolled his eyes and fell down with a snort.

Shorty was frightened and dumbfounded. He held the gun in both hands and stood there motionless.

Neither Hou Mingli nor the Fourth Emperor thought that an eight or nine-year-old child would fire the gun and kill Hu Zi.

At this time, someone shouted from a hilltop in the distance: "Oh, there is a beard of Jiedao, the water is muddy, it has been swiped, it has been swiped! (It was discovered, go away)" It seems that this bearded accomplice is in the distance The mountain bag is high.

"An, Wenhu, come here quickly, and untie the rope between your father and me!" From the Fourth Emperor, let the short feet hurry over and untie the rope.

Only then did Quantaohu come back to his senses, and ran over to untie the ropes between the two of them.

The three climbed into the carriage in a hurry, and the carriage rushed down the cangzi dam beam like the wind.

The news that the eight-year-old Shortfoot had killed a Huzi immediately spread throughout Daxigouchuan, and the interpretation became more and more legendary.

The various versions are like the storytelling written by the blind Wang in Chilechuan, which is known to both adults and children.

One of the versions said that the short feet of the old Hou's family were the reincarnation of Tu Xingsun who was on the list of gods, and he knew how to escape.

When the beard saw him raise his hand, he fired a shot. As a result, the short foot slammed into the ground and missed.

Huzi saw that the figure of the short foot was gone in a flash, and he stood there in a daze with his gun held up and his eyes wide open, thinking that I am delusional?
Before he could recover, Shorty got out from behind his ass, snatched his gun from behind, and knocked the beard down with one shot.

The other beards climbed up the mountain, and when they saw this, they were frightened out of their wits, and each went home to find his mother to eat Zazaer (feeding milk).

There is also a version.It is said that this short-legged man is the reincarnation of the short-legged tiger Wang Ying in Shuibo Liangshan. His feet are very fast, faster than Dai Zong, the Supreme Protector of Shenxing.

When the beard raised his gun to hit him, the bullets flew out and couldn't catch up with him.

He ran, circling his beard.

Beard feels that in the blink of an eye, people don't know where they are going.

As a result, the gun was robbed, and the short feet were bluffed.

Some worshipers even came all the way to Xiadi in Shanxi, and knelt down in front of the gate of Hou Mingli's house, saying that they wanted to learn martial arts from Quantiaohua as their teacher.

Hou Mingli had never seen this battle, and Hou Zhang was also frightened.

I thought to myself, so once it is passed on to two, two to three, once it is passed to the bearded accomplice, what should I do if I come to the house to seek revenge!
She lied to the people who came to her apprenticeship and said that short feet did not go home after the Cangzibaliang incident, and went directly to Feiyun Cave in Jialong Mountain to find his master to explain and teach Shangxian to keep his grandson. .

These admirers did not give up, so they asked: "Ang, grandparents, where is the Feiyun Cave in Jialong Mountain? I beg my grandparents to clarify!"

Mrs. Hou Zhang grinned and said, "Oh?! Don't overthrow me. You are ordinary people. How do you know where the Feiyun Cave in Jialong Mountain is? That's where the gods live."

Before leaving, these worshipers performed eight obeisances and nine kowtows, begging again and again: "Mother Patriarch, when my master comes back, I must send you a letter. Your home is at..."

After dismissing these people, Hou Zhang asked Hou Mingli to send the short feet to her natal family overnight and entrust them to her natal mother for foster care.

In this way, Shortfoot settled down in that ravine called Shixia.

The eight-year-old Shortfoot also knew some rumors about himself, and he was not only not afraid, but also pleased.

I thought to myself, since Tu Xingsun and Dwarf Tiger come and go without a shadow, then I have to practice some real skills.

So every day I ran wildly on the mountains to practice my leg strength, and ran to the mountains to chase rabbits when I had nothing to do.

After going back and forth, sometimes I really caught up with the rabbit, and I took the rabbit back to make meat incense for my grandparents.
