The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 75

Boss Xiao opened his eyes in a daze, only to feel that the surroundings were bright and dazzling, his body struggled, but his whole body was tied tightly.The people in the cottage don't need to farm and farm, and the only people who usually live in the village on the top of the mountain are him, Zhao Laosi and a bunch of unmarried brothers.

Boss Xiao is from the Taihang Mountains in Shanxi. He is from Jiugou Eighteen Villages. He has lived in the village since he was a child. If he hadn't been tricked by someone when he went to work outside the village, he would still be the third head of the village.But it just so happened that he was rescued by a landlord family named Han at the foot of the mountain. There was no son in that family, only a twenty-eight-year-old lady. The two fell in love for a long time, and he became their family's son. The door-to-door son-in-law.

Originally thought that life could continue in such a peaceful and stable way, but who knew that a year ago the Tartars entered the village and robbed the Han family of everything, and when the Dayong army arrived, the old couple of the Han family had already died tragically up.Boss Xiao escaped with Mrs. Xiao and became refugees going south.

Although the imperial court stipulated that the counties resettle refugees, but now everyone is in danger of survival, who is willing to give them a safe place for this large group of people?They begged all the way from the north to the south, and finally settled down in Moling County. They thought they could have a place to live, but the local landlords still refused to give them a piece of land, a piece of mountain, even a piece of food.

It was at this time that Boss Xiao came up with the idea of ​​building a village. He gathered those refugees and built a Qinglong Village in Moling and Jiangning counties where there was no one to care about.Because he lived in the cottage when he was a child, so the rules of this should be clear, and everyone elected him to be the boss of the cottage.But at the same time, the livelihood problems of this group of hundreds of people were also borne by him.

The mountains and forests in this area are not the deep mountains and old forests in the Taihang Mountains. There are no big beasts at all. Only some mountain birds and hares can't support the young and old in this village. That's why Boss Xiao took people to snatch them. The notorious landlord and bully family occasionally brought some silver back as a charity.

They have a large number of people, and he has some kung fu, so he can bluff those cowardly landlords. As for why he tied Mrs. Xie and made him a big one, it was because Boss Xiao also felt a little tired. , He wanted to wait until he got the money, or flee to other places and settle down; or distribute it to each household, and then make a living independently.With money, at least everyone can do some small businesses without living a precarious life.

Of course...the most important point is to heal Mrs. Xiao's eyes.

"Little brother, since you want to leave, why didn't you leave last night, and now you're taking advantage of my danger by tying me up while I'm drunk?" Boss Xiao struggled helplessly, frowning and looking at him. He glanced at Zhou Tianhao who was lying against the wall.

Zhou Tianhao frowned, and opened his eyes: "I'm drunk myself, why tie you up?" Suddenly he moved his body, raised his eyes to Xiao Laodao: "I was tied up too, what's going on. "

As soon as Zhou Tianhao finished speaking, the door outside suddenly opened with a creak, and the thin man stood at the door with a few young men. Seeing Boss Xiao, he said, "Boss, what did you say when you built the village? Let the brothers eat and drink spicy food, and will never be looked down upon by the rich with a few stinky money! But now? Brothers follow you, and you can’t eat a few meals when you are full. Buy grain seeds with money? Do you want the brothers to live the life of being bullied by the landlords before?"

After the thin man finished speaking, he only smiled and said: "But it's no wonder, you were the son-in-law of the Han family back then, and you're used to collecting rent, but now you want to change the way and let the brothers support you again?"

Before the man finished speaking, the young men outside were already agitated, and the thin man said: "Yesterday, Mrs. Xie was let go because of Boss Xiao's soft-heartedness. Otherwise, the 10 taels of snowflake silver We got it today!"

After hearing this, everyone became more and more excited. Only one person raised his weapon and shouted: "Go to Xie's house and grab the silver! Go to Xie's house and grab the silver!"

There was a lot of noise inside, when suddenly a whistle sounded from the foot of the mountain, a few young lads went to the mountain gate and glanced at them, only to step back a few steps in fright, walked up to the thin man, and said: "The third master, the foot of the mountain A lot of people came near the mountain temple, mighty and mighty, there are probably a hundred or so!"

These young men used to be peasants who were farming, and every time they followed Boss Xiao and the others down the mountain, they relied on their numbers and power. Now that Xie's family had summoned so many people overnight, they immediately became a little nervous stand up.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhou Tianhao said loudly, "Brothers, can you listen to my younger brother? Last night, Boss Xiao and I had a drink and chat. It can be said that we didn't know each other. I also know that everyone was originally a poor man in Dayong. It is the court's fault and the emperor's fault to live such a precarious life in this mountain forest."

When everyone heard the words, they all stared at Zhou Tianhao curiously, seeing that he was in his early 20s, but dared to speak ill of the emperor so openly, it was not easy.

Seeing that everyone gradually became quiet, Zhou Tianhao continued: "But there is only one emperor, and there are thousands of people in the world. How can he take care of thousands of people by himself? I apologize to everyone on behalf of the emperor!" Zhou Tianhao said, only bent down and lowered his head, his face had already changed into a serious expression, and then said: "If everyone listens to me, the magistrate Kang of Jiangning County, Mr. Kang, He is the number one scholar in the year of Yiwei. His father, Kang Xianzong, is the emperor's teacher. He is a good official. If you are willing to put down the weapons in your hands, I will take you to see Mr. Kang, and I will definitely let him give you a place to go! Even if you can't No worries about food and clothing, but it must be better than these three hardships, the most important thing, you don't have to hide, you can continue to be the people of Dayong in a fair and honest way!"

"We...why should we listen to you?" Someone in the crowd questioned.

"Third Master said, we are bandits now, and if we go down the mountain, we will be jailed. You are not lying to us, are you?"

"You're not lying to us, are you?" Everyone asked in unison.

Seeing that everyone was excited, the thin man said: "He is a liar, we don't believe him, when the Xie family's money is in hand, we will have the money to buy land! Then we don't have to live in this remote mountain Yes! Brothers, take them away."

Seeing that the thin man was about to leave, Boss Xiao suddenly raised his leg and kicked the handle of the knife at his waist. The knife flew out from the thin man's waist. Zhou Tianhao turned around, caught the handle of the knife behind him, and forcefully Once pressed, several hemp ropes should fall to the ground.

Zhou Tianhao threw off the hemp rope on his wrist, gently rubbed the area where the hemp rope had strangled, and turned to Xiao Laodao: "Thank you!"

Everyone used to be a banker, and they had never seen such skills before, but they were all stunned by the perfect coordination just now.Zhou Tianhao split the hemp rope on Boss Xiao's wrist with one knife, threw the short knife into his hand, and tore off the clothes that were already in disarray, revealing several tight and powerful muscles on his chest and several wounds with pink scars.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. To be honest, I was still fighting against the Tartars in northern Xinjiang a few months ago. I was ordered to return to Beijing by my elders because I was injured. But although I am not on the battlefield, my heart is on the battlefield! You guys I will help you get back your home, but please, don’t rob other people’s home! Believe me! Dayong will never let his people lose their homes, and he will definitely not try his best to let you return to your homeland! Now Please be patient for a while, and I will let Mr. Kang arrange you properly."

These lads are all seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people, who are already full of vitality. Hearing what Zhou Tianhao said, everyone's blood boiled up, and they just asked: "Little general, I don't need to be resettled, as long as my father and I are taken care of." Mother is settled, I will follow you to the battlefield and kill the Tartars!"

Zhou Tianhao only patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good job, let's kill the Tartars together!"

Boss Xiao, who was silent all the time, also shouted, "Take me!"

Zhou Tianhao turned around, and the two clapped their hands together, "Okay! Take you!"

Someone over there looked at Zhou Tianhao's injuries and asked curiously, "Little General, why is your arrow wounded in the back? Did you get shot when you were running away?"

This question is rather embarrassing to ask... Zhou Tianhao just cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "It's really on the battlefield, how can there be a place for you to run? I've been shot like a hedgehog. I'm lucky, and I have a protective heart on my chest." Mirror, so I escaped a catastrophe!" When Zhou Tianhao said this, he remembered that his mirror was taken away by Boss Xiao.

"Where's my mirror? Where did it go?"

Boss Xiao was taken aback for a moment, but then he came to his senses, and only replied, "Sent to Xie's family."

Zhou Tianhao was shocked, and muttered in his mouth: "It's over now...it's exposed."

But Xie Yujiao and his party came to the foot of Qinglong Mountain, and saw that there was indeed a dilapidated mountain temple on the mountainside.Shen Shihu took the lead to check the surroundings with people, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he invited Xie Yujiao to come down.

Xie Yujiao got off the carriage, raised her head and looked around, Shen Shihu pointed to the two green pines in the valley and said, "That's the message tree. When we arrived just now, we heard the whistle. On the way."

Xie Yujiao found it very interesting, so she just said, "In the future, we will also build one in Xie's house. If any suspicious strangers enter the village, we can take precautions."

After this incident, Xie Yujiao became more and more cautious. Shen Shihu knew that she was quite frightened, so he only comforted her: "Miss, don't be afraid, Xie's house is still very safe, these robbers don't dare to come and provoke you."

Xie Yujiao relaxed a little, and seeing that the people from Qinglongzhai hadn't come down, she took two steps forward. Seeing that the mountain god's honor was still enshrined in the mountain temple, she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed silently.
