(According to the way of the news broadcast, it should be said that for several days in a row, the number of votes for Jiangming's Rihong has continued to increase to new highs, maintaining a growth rate of xx%, and is in a leading position in the world... er, awesome -It's a bit big to force, continue to ask for red tickets to collect)

This small village only four and a half miles away from the foot of the mountain is indeed unknown, but old man Li did not lie to Feng Xiaoci about this.I don't know how many years this village has existed, and I don't know why some people settled here and gradually formed a village here.Old man Li remembers asking his grandfather when he was young, why is this village unknown?His grandfather thought about it for a while and told him that maybe the first person who came here to settle down was a great man with a great reputation. Maybe he hid in seclusion by the green water under the green mountains so that others would no longer know that he thought of him. He wanted to be anonymous. , so the village has no name.

The old man Li didn't understand the answer at the time, and he didn't bother to think about it seriously. After he grew up and got old, he didn't think about it at all. Whether it had a name or not, it was just an unrelated matter. The little things that matter.If you have the time to think hard about this issue, you might as well nibble on a pig's trotter and drink a few sips of old wine that you just earned today.

Ordinary farmers are always very stingy, so they don't stay up late to waste lamp oil.

When old man Li was sitting on the stone bench under the big tree in his small yard, taking a sip of pig's trotter and drinking old wine under the moonlight, his son had already got into bed early and was sound asleep.The son drank less than half of the jug of old wine and left most of it for him.And when I came back from the mountain today, the many meat, new wine and a piece of Sichuan brocade sent by the cottage were placed on Old Man Li's kang. But the relationship with those people in the cottage is reassuring.

The stewed pork is very salty because it has to be preserved, but it tastes extra fragrant because of its strong taste.

Thinking of that piece of Shu brocade, old man Li grinned.The daughter of the old Liu's family at the west end of the village has grown up, and he intends to entrust someone to deliver the Shu brocade tomorrow.If the old Liu family accepted it, it would be a great thing to be happy about.It's just that my son is almost 30 years old, and my daughter-in-law got seriously ill a few years ago and couldn't be cured. Since then, they are the only couple left in the Li family.

The daughter of Lao Liu's family is only fifteen, so I don't know if his family will agree.

While thinking about these things, old man Li suddenly raised his head and looked outside the door vigilantly.The fence gate was closed, but at some point a dark figure suddenly appeared outside the gate.The black shadow stood straight outside the door, and the man's eyes looked extraordinarily bright under the moonlight.

This frightened old man Li and immediately got goosebumps all over his body. He stood up abruptly, stared at the black figure outside the fence gate and asked loudly, "Who is it!"

The person outside the door seemed to smile, and then said in a creepy tone: "The person who came to ask for the bill."

People say that if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Old man Li's yard only has a fence wall and a fence door that can't stop wild dogs.If it's really a ghost, I'm afraid I won't be able to knock if I want to.But the man stood there gloomyly, and then said that he was the one who had to pay, which made old man Li feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and even his hair exploded.

He was about to yell loudly for his son to get up, but suddenly his neck felt cold.Old man Li subconsciously looked down, and it turned out that a cold steel knife was stretched out from behind and rested on his neck.A very burly man slowly turned around from behind him and walked across to him, but the steel knife was still pointed at his neck.

"Hi, old guy."

The man smiled, eerie.

"It's you!"

Old man Li recognized that the one holding the steel knife was the vicious-looking man whom he called an idiot, a fool, and a fool by the roadside at the entrance of the village today.He was startled, and then realized that he might die tonight.After thinking about dying, he suddenly thought again, don't let anything happen to him that makes him die with regret.

Liu Shibao looked at Old Man Li's frightened face and sneered a few times, then leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Old man, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

……

……

Old man Li's son is called Li Mao. When he was sleeping soundly in bed, someone grabbed his hair from the kang and pulled him off. When he fell to the ground, he screamed in pain, and subconsciously jumped up to get angry. But seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately shut his mouth.The room was very bright, but the oil lamp that was reluctant to light was not lit. There were many people in the room, holding torches.His father was grabbed by his hair and pressed to kneel on the ground, with a steel knife on his neck.

Li Mao looked at his father, old man Li shook his head slowly but didn't know what to express.

"Who are you!"

he questioned loudly.

The gloomy man who looked around 40 years old who was holding his father sneered, "We are from Yanyun Village."

"fart!"

Li Mao rushed forward to rescue his father, but was forced back by two horizontal knives.

"I don't want to talk nonsense, take us up the mountain to Yanyun Village tonight, and leave the two of you alive, otherwise... I will kill your father first, of course, he will not die quickly, if you don't agree I will cut off one of his ears first. If he refuses, I will gouge out his eye. If he refuses again, I will cut off his tongue. You have many chances to refuse, it depends on whether your father can stand it .”

Liu Shibao said with a smile, and made a gesture on Old Man Li's face with a horizontal knife.The horizontal knife is too sharp, even if it touches old man Li's wrinkled face lightly, a bloody gash will be drawn immediately.

"I-fuck-you-mom!"

Li Mao roared angrily as if his eyes were about to pop out, and rushed forward to get his father out regardless of the two horizontal knives in front of him.Liu Shibao kicked Li Mao's chest, and he was kicked backwards.Two soldiers from the right guard came up and held down Li Mao, one left and one right. Liu Shibao walked slowly to Li Mao and looked down at him and said, "You are still a dutiful son, so I will give you a chance. Now I will catch you and let you go." Dad will lead us to Lushan into Yanyun Village, if he doesn't agree, I'll kill you little by little, how about it?"

Old man Li suddenly raised his head and shouted: "No! Good man, I beg you, you catch me! You catch me!"

Liu Shibao shook his head and sighed: "You are not young anymore, maybe you are not afraid of death, but your son is only 30 years old, maybe he is not afraid of death, but I am sure that if you are afraid of his death, he is also afraid of death." Afraid of your death."

"Lead the way, or, he dies."

Liu Shibao looked at old man Li and said.

"No! Grandpa! You can't lead the way for these bastards!"

Li Mao shouted eagerly.

With a slap, Liu Shibao slapped Li Mao hard. Immediately, half of Li Mao's face became swollen, and blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Cut off his tongue!"

Liu Shibao said angrily: "Troublemaker, I think your mouth is tough, or this general's knife is tough!"

A soldier of the right guard stepped forward and squeezed Li Mao's mouth, another person went up and strangled Li Mao's head, and the soldier in front took out a dagger and was about to stab Li Mao in his mouth.Li Mao struggled violently, but was held down by three or four soldiers of the right guard and couldn't break free at all.

"I bring!"

Old man Li fell to the ground, crying and begging: "I will take you up the mountain, please, don't hurt him."

"Ha ha!"

Liu Shibao laughed loudly and said, "That's right, is it worth dying for a gang of thieves?"

"Grandpa!"

Li Mao shouted eagerly while struggling: "No, Grandpa!"

With a bang, Liu Shibao hit Li Mao hard on the head with the handle of the knife. Immediately, Li Mao rolled his eyes up and fell down softly.Old man Li rushed over and cried while shaking his son, and then he saw the blood slowly flowing down from his son's hair, which soon stained half of Li Mao's face red.Old man Li hurriedly wiped it, but he couldn't clean it no matter what.

"Don't worry, he won't die!"

Liu Shibao picked up old man Li: "Come on, as long as you open the gate of Yanyun Village honestly, I guarantee that not only will you father and son not die, but you will be rich."

……

……

The soldiers of the right guard walked in the mountains and forests, as densely packed as ants moving before the rain.They all had a small stick in their mouths, and the horses were all bited to keep them from making noise.No one spoke in the team marching in the dense forest, only the rustling of footsteps and the sound of the wind blowing through the branches.Old man Li walked at the front of the team, and Liu Shibao followed behind with a horizontal knife against his back.

Behind Liu Shibao is a group of more than a thousand elite infantry, they are the most skilled soldiers carefully selected by Feng Xiaoci, and they will launch the first offensive tonight.As long as Old Man Li can trick Yanyun Village into opening the gate, and as soon as the suspension bridge is lowered, they will immediately rush in to snatch the gate.

Li Mao was bound and walked beside Feng Xiaoci, the rope was so tight that his upper body was a little numb.Feng Xiaoci rode a horse, looked sideways at Li Mao and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, as long as your grandfather can call the gate of Yanyun Village, I will not hurt you father and son. We are the imperial army, not bandits .”

"Untie him."

Feng Xiaoci ordered.

Li Mao glanced at Feng Xiaoci, and sneered at the corner of his bloody mouth.The look of disdain in his eyes made Feng Xiaoci very annoyed.

"Today's incident is really offending. After I capture the bandit leader surnamed Li alive in Yanyunzhai, I will report to the imperial court for your father and son's credit. Maybe the imperial court's reward will be enough for your father and son to enjoy the glory and wealth for a lifetime." .”

Feng Xiaoci said patiently.

Li Mao just sneered, but didn't say a word.

The team marched in silence. Occasionally, nocturnal wild birds on the low branches by the roadside were startled, or one or two fat
