Chapter 62 Congratulations to the Groom (1)

Sanshan Town is not considered inaccessible. As a small town in the mountains, it has two specialties, one is wood, and the other is bandits.There are many towering trees in the mountains, and many families make a living by logging. When the flood season occurs, groups of loggers will go into the mountains to log, shouting neatly and pushing the trees down into the mountain stream, and then they will go down the mountain stream. Just out of the mountain, saving time and effort.

Too much hair is prone to lice, and the mountains are prone to bandits. There are two well-known bandit dens nearby, one is called Hushan and the other is called Wolf's Den. Among them, Hushan is located in Sanshan Town.The name Hushan has its own fangs, and it seems that if you mention it, you will be bitten.I was staying in a hotel in the town, and the owner of the shop was so proud when he mentioned Hushan, I couldn’t help but muttered in my heart when I saw it, suspecting that this bandit den was a branch of his family.

In order to cooperate with him, I had no choice but to pretend to be shocked, and when the shop owner asked me why I came here, I told him truthfully that I was going to Hushan to deliver a letter.The pride on his face stopped abruptly, and he said in a stuttering manner: "You...you are going to deliver a letter to the bandit's lair?"

I said "hmm" and said with a smile: "Isn't it to deliver a letter, is it to join a group?"

The innkeeper opened his mouth wide and did not speak for a while.I was a little scared by his eyes, and hurriedly said: "I am really here to deliver a letter. There is a letter to be sent to Hushan, to a man named Hu Xiaotian."

"Oh." The shop owner came back to his senses and sighed, "Sir, it's not easy to make a living."

"That's right." I answered him and asked again, "Does the owner know the way into the mountain?"

"Oh, sir, when are you going to enter the mountain? There happened to be a mountain man in the store. He was from a village not far from Tiger Mountain. He came out to buy wine. If it happens, you can go into the mountain with him."

It would be great if someone went with you.I was overjoyed when I heard that, so I asked the shopkeeper where the mountain man was now, and when he was in the shop, I asked the shopkeeper to introduce him to me.The mountain man was a middle-aged man in his forties, named Yang Sizhao. When he learned that I was going to enter the mountain, he not only agreed to me, but also said that Hushan was still some distance away from their village, and asked me to rest in their village for one night. go again.

I thanked him endlessly, and after lunch, I helped him push the cart carrying wine into the mountain.The mountain road is long, and we gossip while walking to pass the time.I asked him: "I bought so much wine at once, can I finish it?"

Yang Sizhao smiled and said, "Hey, so much wine, I can't even use it up in the shower alone, let alone drink it. This is for weddings in the village. There is a couple getting married tonight. The husband came by coincidence and happened to do it for them. a witness."

I said "ah" and laughed, "It turns out that there is a happy event, but I have a lot of good fortune, so I have the audacity to talk about it. I don't know the name of your village?"

Yang Sizhao told me that their village is called Xiaoyang Village.I was taken aback when I heard it, and thought that this is really a good name, what a boldness it is to be called Xiaoyang Village under the eyes of Hushan.Seeing me in a daze, Yang Sizhao laughed, and explained: "It's not the sheep that ran into the tiger's mouth, but Mu Yi Yang. The whole village is named Yang."

It turned out to be Xiaoyang Village, and I was relieved.Because of the companionship, the road was not lonely, and we chatted casually.Speaking of Tiger Mountain, the bandit's nest that I was about to go to, Yang Sizhao's face was full of pride. When I saw it, I wondered in my heart why the people in this town always had such a proud expression when they talked about bandits. After you're done with your business, you also work as a job in the cottage by the way?

This is by no means just me talking about it. In some places, the folk customs are fierce, and the usually honest and kind-hearted people will rob the road in small groups to supplement their families when they are free. It is not uncommon for them to work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

Yang Sizhao saw that I looked at him not quite right, and he probably knew what I was thinking, and hurriedly said: "Speaking of which, Xiaoyang Village has a relationship with Hushan Mountain. Since ancient times, Xiaoyang Village has been hidden in this vast mountain. , although life is tight, it has been peaceful, and there are only two things to worry about, that is, wolf disaster and banditry."

The banditry is okay, Yang Sizhao told me that a few years ago, the old patriarch rescued Hu Xiaotian, the leader of Hushan, from the mouth of the wolf, and the two sides formed a friendship. Yangcun is here.It's just that the old patriarch thinks that they are kind people, and it is not appropriate to have too close contacts with the bandits, so they return the things intact every time.Even so, Hu Xiaotian still believes that the gift cannot be discarded, and he still sends it as it is.

Later, the old patriarch said that if Hushan still wanted to save the head of the family in Xiaoyang Village, he would swear to the God of the Mountain that no one from Hushan would be allowed to enter Xiaoyang Village for generations.Hu Xiaotian was grateful for the old patriarch's life-saving grace, and solemnly swore to the mountain god that as long as the mountain is still there and the water is still flowing, people from Hushan will never set foot in Xiaoyang Village.

The mountain people swear to the mountain god, this is an ironclad nail.Later, the old patriarch died due to wolf poison attack, and all the bandits in Hushan wore sackcloth and filial piety. Hu Xiaotian personally carried the old patriarch's coffin and sent him to be buried. The villagers invited him into the village for a bowl of water and wine, but he just stood at the entrance After drinking, he refused to step into the village.

"It's really kind and righteous!" After hearing Yang Sizhao's words, I suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Since the banditry is gone, the only thing left is the plague of wolves. Are there many wolves in the mountains?"

"Why are there not many? Who in the mountains grew up listening to wolves howling? They all have a mouth. If you want to eat, wolves will eat too. We meet on a narrow road. If you can't kill me, I will kill you. There is nothing to worry about. What’s more, these animals are so hungry that they will rush to the village to harm the livestock. Every year in Xiaoyang Village, livestock are taken away by wolves. In a year when the wolf disaster is severe, the men in the village dare not leave the village for fear that the children in the village will be killed by wolves. kiss."

The wolves in the mountains have become so rampant.My back felt chills when I heard it, and I couldn't help but look around, for fear that there might be a wolf pioneer hiding in some corner.Wolves are cunning and spiritual by nature, and they can fight wits and courage with people.

Seeing me poking my head, Yang Sizhao couldn't help laughing and said, "Sir, don't worry. After the banditry is gone, we only worry about the wolf plague. But I didn't expect that within a few years, even the wolf plague would be gone."

"Oh?" I looked at him in surprise, thinking that the old patriarch saved the bandit leader from the mouth of the wolf, so the bandit trouble was eliminated. leader?
"How did the plague of wolves be eliminated?" I asked Yang Sizhao, "Has anyone ever organized to go into the mountains to fight wolves?"

"Hey, no. No one thought of eradicating the wolf plague." Yang Sizhao said, "At the beginning, no one noticed it. I don't know when, Xiaoyang Village never had wolves again. At first everyone They were all very happy, thinking that there were fewer wolves in the mountains, but later they became strange, because everyone has seen that the wolves in the mountains are not only not less but more, but they just haven’t entered the village again.”

"Why is this?" I was whetted by him and hurriedly asked.

"Later, someone calculated that the disappearance of the wolf disaster started when the bitch entered the village. Then someone murmured, maybe this little bitch hooked up all the wolves in the whole mountain, so no wolves entered the village again. . " Yang Sizhao said without beginning or end.

"Bitch?" I saw him speak strangely, but I was confused.

"Oh, bitch is not a curse word, it's the name of a dog." Yang Sizhao explained.It is a dog of unknown origin. It was picked up from the mountains by Yang Siyuan, a young man from Xiaoyang Village, when he went to cut trees.At that time, it was just a little suckling dog, suddenly jumped out from the bushes and circled around Yang Siyuan's trousers, startling him.

This beautiful little puppy has a snow white nose and a snow white tail.It's just that people can't figure it out, how could this little puppy, who was born not long ago, appear alone in this deserted mountain?I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, after sleeping on the undershirt that Yang Siyuan took off, this little puppy of unknown origin still followed him home.

It is a bitch, Yang Siyuan called it a bitch.The bitch became the second mouth of Yang Siyuan's family, who had no father or mother, and depended on him for life.It was from the time the bitch entered the village, the wolf disaster gradually disappeared from Xiaoyang Village.

And this miraculous thing?I became curious when I heard it, and hurriedly asked: "The disappearance of the wolf disaster is related to the bitch, how do you know for sure?"

"Originally, this was just our guess. After all, no one can make the bitch speak up, right?" Yang Sizhao told me, until one day they took the bitch into the mountains and encountered the people in the wolf's den.

The two largest bandit dens within a hundred li radius, Hushan in Sanshan Town and Wolf's Den in a neighboring town, somehow ran into them in the mountains that day.Yang Siyuan and the others were all sweating in the face of the bandits. Although they held machetes back to back and were ready to fight the people in the wolf den, everyone knew that a few machetes were no match for the bandits' Mausers. Vulnerable.

A brother of the same clan was not reconciled, and wanted Yang Siyuan to ask the bitch to bring down a few bandits and bury them with them.And it wasn't until then that everyone realized that the bitch was gone.The people in the company all cursed, saying that the master was in trouble and ran away by himself. Xiaoyang Village has such a dog, which is embarrassing and embarrassing.

Although Yang Siyuan didn't say anything, he was really disappointed in his heart.Just when everyone was about to go out and fight the people in the wolf's den, the bitch suddenly emerged from the bushes and came back again, and there was a rustling sound behind it.When the people present heard this sound, their faces immediately changed drastically, because people in the mountain could hear that the only ones who could make such footsteps in this mountain were wolves.

Even the people in the wolf den began to change their colors. Although their bandit den was called a wolf den, the wolves didn't know that they had such a den, so naturally they wouldn't treat them as family members.The hands of the bandits were trembling with their guns. They had pointed their guns at the men in Xiaoyang Village. As soon as the wolves appeared, these men immediately turned their guns, but no one dared to shoot.Because after the first shot, all the wolves in the mountains were fine, knowing that no one had time to reload the second bullet, and there was plenty of time to tear them to pieces.

And at this moment, something astonishing happened.After these wolves appeared, they were so quiet, neither howling nor pounced, but standing around these people.

"The wolves were summoned by the bastard!" I yelled, "It knew that the people in Xiaoyang Village were in danger, so it summoned the wolves to save them!"

"Who says it's not!" Yang Sizhao slapped his thigh, "It's an unprecedented miracle that shocked everyone, and the bitch is still whining, as if waiting for Yang Siyuan's order to kill the wolf. How are the people in the nest?"

"Then what happened afterwards?" I traveled all over the world, and this was the first time I heard such anecdote, so I couldn't help but be a bit skeptical.

"Later, in order to avoid enmity with the wolf den, Yang Siyuan asked the bitch to let them go." Yang Sizhao said.

I became very interested in this legendary dog, and asked him: "Is that bitch still in the village now, can I see it this time I go?"

"Well, it's hard to say." For some reason, Yang Sizhao was very excited when he talked about the bitch just now, but suddenly his words became vague. No matter how much I asked, he refused to talk about the bitch again.

I didn't know if I asked something that shouldn't be asked, seeing him like this, I had no choice but to shut up.Seeing that I was a little embarrassed, Yang Sizhao seemed a little embarrassed, too busy and had nothing to say: "Sir, who is going to send a letter to Hushan?"

"Hu Xiaotian, have you seen him?" I said.

"Sir, do you want to send a letter to the head?" Yang Sizhao was stunned upon hearing this.Seeing that his expression was wrong, I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you know, sir?" Yang Sizhao observed me for a while, as if confirming something, and then said, "The big master is long gone, and now the young master Hu Xiaoshan is the master on Hushan."

"What, Hu Xiaotian is dead!" When I heard the news, I was stunned for a moment, and then I became very anxious. I finally got Gu Yin's whereabouts from Guhuai Prison, and knew that he came to Hushan to look for Hu Xiaotian. Now Hu Xiaotian is dead, won't the clue of Gu Yin's whereabouts be broken again?
