() It was snowing heavily, and Yi Gusi stood in front of the door for a long time, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps stepping on the snow, and saw a dozen people coming here not far away, most of them were dressed in animal skins The ghostly people in the clothes, but Yi Gusi also saw that there were several Central Plains people in brocade robes among the crowd.

Yi Gusi frowned. In Daqimeng Mountain, people from the Central Plains were rarely seen. On this snowy day, a few people from the Central Plains suddenly came, which made Yi Gusi immediately alert, and couldn't help but reach out He touched the small machete at his waist.

"Cave Master, Cave Master Jian is here to see you." A ghostly big man who led the way called from a distance, holding a steel fork in his hand and carrying a bow and arrow on his back. Gu Si waved: "Yi Gusi, my old friend, it's me!"

Yi Gusi had a serious expression at first, but when he heard the man's voice, the wariness on his face disappeared, and he showed joy. Why did you come here? Did your bitch drive you out of the house and run here to take refuge?"

Jian Hu laughed loudly, came forward, approached, and punched out, Yi Gusi also punched almost at the same time, the fist strength was not very strong, hit the opponent's chest, and then hugged each other, Yi Gusi was already laughing He said: "Go into the room quickly, there is a fire inside, and there is still half a jar of spirits. If you come a little later, you won't be able to enjoy it."

Jian Hu pretended to be angry and said: "If I can't drink wine when I get to your mountain, I will burn your wooden house down." While talking and joking, Yi Gusi had already brought Jian Hu into the house. After arriving at the house, Jian suddenly remembered something, turned around, and said to the Central Plains people behind him: "Guys, this is Cave Master Yi Gusi!"

Yi Gusi frowned and looked at those people, and saw that there were three people from the Central Plains, the first one was over [-] years old, with a lock of green beard, he looked dignified, with a smile on his face, seeing Yi Gusi's expression, He already cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Cave Master Yi Gusi, who has admired his name for a long time, and seeing you today, is really lucky for three lives!"

Yi Gusi didn't like this polite way of communication, he frowned and asked Jianhu, "Is this your friend?"

Jane smiled suddenly and nodded, "It's our mutual friend."

Yi Gusi was noncommittal, he had never liked people from the Central Plains, but considering Jian Hu's face, it was not easy to drive this person away, so he entered the house, and the middle-aged man followed him into the house, while the other two people from the Central Plains were Stand in front of the door and don't go in.

After entering the house and sitting by the fire, Yi Gusi cut to the chase and asked, "Jianhu, how much food do you have in the mountains?"

Jane suddenly sighed: "We can't survive the winter, less than half of the winter, our food will be completely cut off, and it's still under the condition of our extreme savings. If there is no food, many people will definitely starve to death."

Yi Gusi asked someone to take the wine bowl, took the half jar of wine, poured three bowls of wine, and then said: "I sent someone to Taiyuan to inquire about the ghost master two days ago, but he hasn't come back yet. I don’t know how the ghost master is doing now.”

Jian Hu's expression immediately turned serious. He was about to drink, but at this moment he slowly put down the bowl and asked, "Yi Gusi, how much food do you have?"

"It's more difficult than yours." Yi Gusi frowned and said, "The food can last up to 20 days. After 20 days, you can only use the stored dried meat. The dried meat can only last for five or six days at most. As long as it is dried When the meat runs out, we can only eat heavy snow."

"Then what are you going to do?" Jian Hu asked, "Wait for the ghost master to come back?"

Yi Gusi frowned and said, "What if it's not like this? Would your brother still lead someone to snatch it?"

Only then did Jian Hu pick up the wine bowl, took a sip, put down the wine bowl and said, "If Huang Dake hadn't come over, I would really have come to find you to go down the mountain to grab food together."

"Huang Dake?" Yi Gusi looked at the Central Plains man, Dake means a good friend, when a ghost local calls an outsider Dake, if he treats the other person as his own, he is a reliable friend, Jian suddenly Calling this person Dake means that Ruo Ruo trusts and has a good relationship with this Central Plains native. After taking another look at the Central Plains native, he finally asked, "Who is he?"

The people in the Central Plains were calm and relaxed. Yi Gusi talked to Jianhu just now and ignored him. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and kept a smile on his face. At this time, Yi Gusi moved to ask and looked at Jianhu. Just as Jian Hu was about to speak, he raised his hand, indicating that Jian Hu could answer by himself, and said to Yi Gusi with a smile: "I am Huang Zhigui!"

Yi Gusi was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed surprise, he stood up in an instant, he had already pulled out the small scimitar from his waist, pointed the blade forward, and Jian suddenly said sharply: "Yi Gusi, what are you going to do?"

"Jianhu, I would like to ask you, what are you going to do?" Yi Gusi said angrily, "Who caused our current situation, don't you know? He deceived us, why do you still have to fight with him?" Together, you should cut off his head with one knife." Glaring at Huang Zhigui, he sneered and said, "You know what crime you have committed, and if you die here today, don't blame us!"

Jian Hu said in a deep voice: "Yi Gusi, put down the knife first, Huang Dake came here today to explain everything to you. If he deceived us, how could he throw himself into a trap and send him to your door for you to slaughter? He even The food we are in short supply will not be delivered.”

"What did you say?" Yi Gusi frowned, a little puzzled, but he didn't withdraw the knife.

Jian suddenly said: "Yi Gusi, do you know the current situation of the ghost master?"

"Could it be that you understand?"

"Of course I know." Jian Hu said in a deep voice: "The ghost master is now in the hands of the government, and they have already arrested the ghost master and put him in prison."

"What?" Yi Gusi's complexion changed abruptly, "The ghost master was arrested? Why...how did this happen?"

Huang Zhigui said solemnly: "Cave Master Yi, Cave Master Jian's words are true, there is absolutely no falsehood. The ghost master of Hexi Valley was arrested by the government and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, where he suffered great humiliation."

Yi Gusi sounded like a tiger, and roared: "What's going on?"

Jian Hu had already taken Yi Gusi's knife, and said solemnly: "The ghost master had a conflict with the government for food, and the government said that the ghost master wanted to rebel, so he was arrested in the prison. An eyeliner learned that the people in the big prison took the initiative to torture the ghost, forcing the ghost master to admit that he was going to rebel. Except for the ghost master, He Gu and the two accompanying brothers have been arrested. We can see."

Yi Gusi clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, staring at Huang Zhigui, he sneered and said, "This is all the news you got?"

"Huang Dake is not alone." Jian suddenly said: "I also sent people to Taiyuan City to inquire. The ghost master did have a conflict with the government at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and later someone saw that the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrested the ghost master and his party. Walk."

Yi Gusi sat down slowly, he is the second person in Guifang, although he has a hot temper, but at this moment he also understands that if this kind of thing really happens, he will bear the fate of tens of thousands of Guifang people, and he must remain absolutely calm down.

Huang Zhigui sighed: "Perhaps Cave Master Yi knows that the lives of the people in the world are in dire straits. The tyrant, in order to achieve the dream of immortality, disregards the life and death of the people, and imposes lavish taxes. For this reason, he repeatedly said that the emperor should reduce taxes and let the people rest and recuperate, but the tyrant insisted on going his own way. Even his own son, His Royal Highness King Han, was dissatisfied with what he did. My uncle and His Royal Highness King Han were preparing for a coup d'état in Beijing for the sake of the people of the world. , To overthrow the tyrant, but it is a pity that the success fell short...!" Speaking of this, he shook his head with a solemn expression.

"The struggle between you Central Plains people has nothing to do with us." Yi Gusi sneered: "We just want to survive by our own hard work."

Huang Zhigui nodded and said: "What Cave Master Yi said is true, but under the overthrow of the nest, there are no eggs. If the tyrant is extravagant and extravagant, and the world is in turmoil, Cave Master Yi thinks you will be safe and sound?"

Yi Gusi frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"

Huang Zhigui said solemnly: "Although Beijing was defeated, the Huang family was not defeated, and the Huang family's painstaking efforts for the dawn of the world have not disappeared. Our Huang family is now relying on Yusuo Lake to fight against the government, just for the sake of being able to fight against the government one day." Kick the tyrant off his horse and let the people of the world live in peace."

Yi Gusi sneered and said: "Why do you think we don't know the tricks in your hearts for the people of the world? We don't get involved in the infighting of the Central Plains people...!"

"Then what about the ghost master?" Huang Zhigui looked calm, "Cave master Yi thinks that the government will release the ghost master safely? Cave master Yi, don't forget that the living environment of your ghost side is really unimaginable. Huang just wants to Let me ask you, if the Huang family hadn't reached a deal with your Ghost Fang to exchange things and give you the food you need every year, what would your Ghost Fang be like now?"

Yi Gusi just sneered and didn't speak.

"The government has never cared about the life and death of you Guifang people. You have to pay taxes every year, but when you are in danger, the government has never cared about you." Huang Zhigui raised his hand and pointed outside the door, "Now the snow is blocking the door. Shan, there is a shortage of food for tens of thousands of people in Guifang. The goods you sent this year are now stored in the large warehouse of the household department in Taiyuan City, but they have not sent a single grain of rice that you deserve. I watched you starve to death, and I was unwilling to give you the food that belonged to you, Cave Master Yi, I would like to ask, with such a government, can you ghosts live and work in peace and contentment?"

Yi Gusi stared at Huang Zhigui's eyes and asked, "What is the purpose of your saying these words?"

"I just want to tell Cave Master Yi that your fate should not be in the hands of others." Huang Zhigui and Yi Gusi looked at each other without dodging, "The fate of you ghost people should be in your own hands!"
