son-in-law

Chapter 910 Ancient Legends

The bandit with blood all over his face weakly said four words: "Pingdu Escort Bureau."

Hearing this, the girl with the green scarf on her head showed shock and was in a daze until Meng Can pushed her, then she regained her senses, with a look of tears on her face.

Soon the girl became excited and said that she would go to Huanghuagang to see her grandfather.Everyone advised her not to stop, she had to go, if everyone didn't accompany her, she would go by herself.At this time, Meng Can asked Shi Huang to lead troops to go, but Shi Huang was quick to order 200 government soldiers to set off.

People in Shenzhou love to watch the excitement, especially in the Liang Dynasty where entertainment is scarce.There are men fighting, women pulling their hair, and widows cursing in the streets and alleys. Everyone rushes to see it, just to see it first, not to mention the event that dozens of people died.

He watched a group of people rushing out of the north gate of Fengzhou City, walking briskly, even trotting.

Running in the front are some naughty poor boys; behind the boys are a group of unemployed people, the so-called hooligans; behind are women and children, and there are even old people on crutches who usually struggle to walk.

The villagers helped the old and the young, and walked in a hurry, as if they couldn't see the excitement, which was a great pity in life.

Shi Huang led the team forward, while the pace of the Fubing's work was as slow as usual.

Su Yu told Meng Can that it's good that the team can move forward, don't expect them to move forward like that group of teenagers.

While Su Yu was speaking, he saw an old man on crutches surpassing the soldiers.

Seeing this scene is really dumbfounding.But there was no shame on the faces of this group of government soldiers, but an expression that should be taken for granted.In other words, this group of people came here as corvée, without wages, and only had two meals a day.This time I have to take a "long distance" to do business. If I have the benefits, I will be an official. I have nothing to do with them, so there is no enthusiasm at all.

As for bandits and bodyguards, whether they die or not has nothing to do with them.As long as no one kills Fengzhou city, they don't know how to worry.

The team of more than 200 people moved forward lazily, which made Hu Hui's face flushed with anxiety, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and rode away quickly to Huanghuagang.Worried that something would happen to her alone, Su Yu asked Lin Cong, who was still dreaming of becoming an official in the capital, to follow along.Lin Cong led four soldiers, whipped his horse and left.

Suddenly, I heard an old woman beside me cursing, and the voice was sonorous: "Little scorpion, don't run away. If you run again, a horse monkey will catch you and eat you, son of a bitch."

The seven or eight-year-old boy was just naughty, and he stopped after being cursed by the old woman.The old woman's body is actually quite strong, but her pair of small feet made her use crutches.The feet alternated, and the speed was not very slow. As he walked, he muttered angrily: "Old woman, what did I do? I'm a few dozen years old, and I still have to take care of you, a little bastard."

The old woman walked over, grabbed the boy by the neck, stared and said in a low voice, "I can tell you, don't be afraid when you see dead people, just dig out of their clothes, there must be money. If you don't work then, I'll cut you to death! Did you hear me!"

While speaking, the old woman raised her crutch with a grim expression, but the boy was not afraid of her, and broke free and said, "How does grandma know that the dead must have money?"

The old woman put down her crutches, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and whispered to the little boy: "You are still young, so I don't know. This happened more than ten years ago. At that time, grandma took your uncle to turn over a lot of money. Later, Marry your mother for your father and give birth to you, a little bastard. Now your uncle has no money to marry a wife, this is the time for you to repay him! Do you understand!"

Others didn't hear what the old woman said, but her words couldn't escape the ten-level master riding on the horse, and Su Yu listened to her words all over the place.Can't help but glance sideways at the old woman.

It should be said that Su Yu is not in a hurry by nature, and he can bear his temper in everything he does.The government soldiers were slow, so he didn't urge him, instead he gave up riding and let Bai Zhan ride. He sat in the cart, and invited the eloquent old woman to get on the cart and go with him.

The old woman was flattered, but seeing that Su Yu was well-dressed, amiable and handsome, he must be a good person, so she decided to get in the car.Before getting in the car, I had to shake the dust off my body for a while, but after getting in the car, I was very cautious, shivering like a girl, sometimes brushing my pale temples, and sometimes looking away.Sitting on a long board chair, but maintaining a half-sitting posture to stand up at any time.

Meng Can is also a very curious person, she didn't know why Su Yu took an old lady in the car, so she got into the car.

Su Yu smiled, first asked the old woman some gossip, and waited until the old woman was less nervous before asking: "Has something like this happened in Huanghuagang before? When did it happen, and how many people died?"

The old woman recalled and said: "Thirteen years ago, that is, the first year of Tianci, there were three escort agencies in Luoyang to send escorts to Fengzhou. Just here in Huanghuagang, a group of bandits rushed down the mountain. Let’s do it together. Don’t mention the misery of the beating. We don’t know exactly how many people died. Anyway, when we went there, we saw dead people all over the mountain. At least there are hundreds of NO.13.”

Su Yu frowned: "Is this group of bandits still the same group as before?"

"I heard that it's a replacement." The old woman said, pointing her fingers, "That is, ten years ago, the seventh son of the Tang family came here as a Jiedu envoy. He heard that there were bandits in Huanghuagang, so he led his troops to suppress the bandits. But It’s strange to say that there was a lot of commotion that time, bringing more than 1000 people, but there was no result for such a big show.”

"No result?" Su Yu was curious: "What was the scene at that time, mother-in-law, specifically."

"At that time we were standing at the gate of the city watching the fun." The old woman smiled and said, "Oh, the seventh son of the Tang family is really good looking, and his soldiers are also good. His soldiers are the ones who can really fight. The clothes on their bodies are all made of iron, so they are really invulnerable. I thought, if there are such people who go to suppress the bandits, how can it be impossible. But the strange thing is that more than 1000 of them went up the mountain and never came back. Let’s go to Huanghua too Gang looked at it, but did not find the bandit's body, and the bandit's lair was also burned by a fire. It made us a group of people go for nothing, and we didn't find anything..."

After speaking, the old woman shrank her neck and stuck out her tongue.

There is a regulation in the "Law of the Great Liang", even if it is a dead person, the property on his body should not be taken casually.The old woman said it smoothly, feeling that she had said the wrong thing, and became a little scared.

Su Yu just smiled and didn't care, but asked: "Did no one see where the bandit suppressing team went?"

The old woman smiled with relief: "Some people say that the seventh son suppressed the bandits in the mountains, and buried them directly after killing all the bandits. Others said that the soldiers threw the bandits' corpses into the cave behind, and then they went back straight away. Liangzhou, so I didn’t come to Fengzhou again. Our old lady has heard about it, but we don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Su Yu lowered his head to think about something, at this time Meng Can asked with a smile: "Are there any legends about this Huanghuagang? Even the legend of ghosts and monsters is fine, mother-in-law, let's hear it?"

Su Yu glanced at Meng Can, the girl was smiling.

The old woman took her grandson's hand, looked at Meng Can, smiled and said, "Madam is right, there are quite a lot of legends about Huanghuagang."

When the old woman talked about the legend of Huanghuagang, there are all ages, from ancient mythology, to Qin and Han Dynasties, to Sui and Tang Dynasties, and finally to the current dynasty, she talked endlessly.

As far as the land of old Qin is concerned, although there is not much plain and the people are not well off, it has a long history and the most indispensable thing is all kinds of legends.

In the Qin Dynasty, Fengzhou was under the management of Chen Cang, and the biggest celebrity in Chen Cang was Bai Qi, the god of war.It is said that Bai Qi was buried in Xianyang after he was given death, but people in Fengzhou said that the tomb in Xianyang was a tomb of clothes, and Bai Qi's body was actually buried in Huanghuagang, Fengzhou, which is where the bandits are now.

"...It is said that after Bai Qi died, King Qin Zhao could not sleep peacefully, so he moved his grave. And the valley road became a mountain road. This road has always been the only way for Chen Cang to enter Fengzhou On the road, people walk on horses all the year round, so as to calm down Bai Qi's soul..."

People in the Liang Dynasty believed in ghosts and gods, and believed in ghosts and gods. In fact, the Tang Dynasty before the Liang Dynasty was the same. For example, how many people lost their heads in the "Witch Gu Case".There are many cases of killing people because of superstition, so I won't repeat them here.

The old woman was talking about the story, Su Yu didn't take it too seriously, but Meng Can listened with interest, and asked the old woman, has no one robbed the tomb for many years?

The old woman said, that Bai Qi is the star of the Pojun descending to earth, who would dare to steal his tomb?Besides, he was granted death and his grave was removed, so what valuable funeral objects could he have?So no one came to rob the grave.

"Then are there any legends about bandits?"

"Yes, of course there is."

The old woman continued to talk about the legends about the bandits, but she didn't hear anything very valuable after all.However, Su Yu heard the old woman say that there is a cave in Baoling Mountain to the east of Huanghuagang, and bandits bring sacrifices there every year to worship ghosts and gods.

It is said that the cave is so evil that it has never returned until now.The inside of the cave is very big, there is water not far from the cave, there are water dragons hidden in the water, there are glowing bell stones in the sky, and there are flying hairy men.

Someone once put a colorful tiger into it, and soon after, the sound of the tiger fighting fiercely with the water dragon was heard, but soon the tiger's sound disappeared.For those who are brave enough to look in, the surface of the water is full of ripples, and the shore is full of blood stains of tigers.

And there is not just a dragon in the water, they are scrambling, rolling, tearing up the tiger and eating it.The scene was extremely terrifying, and no one dared to enter the cave since then.

Su Yucai didn't believe there were evil dragons, so he asked Meng Can with a smirk, "Let's go in and have a look?"

The girl bit her lip, then suddenly raised her head, and hugged Su Yu's arm with a smile: "Wherever brother Yu is going, Meng Can will go."
