Crossing the green wheat ears

The mountain road is difficult to walk. It is not far away, and it takes a long time to go around. Still very careful.

Fortunately, Grandpa Wu told him in detail. Following those landmarks, Wei Cheng finally found Hongsong Ridge. There was a cottage in front of him, which seemed to be Hongsong Village.

Finally found!

Wei Cheng was riding on the horse, urging the horse forward, the red horse had just run a few steps, suddenly, a tripping rope came up on the ground, knocking Wei Cheng and the red horse to the ground, fortunately, Wei Cheng didn't want to disturb the people in the cottage, The horse ran fast, so the horse's inertia was not that great. Wei Cheng took advantage of the moment the horse fell down, pulled his foot out of the stirrup, and rolled twice when he landed, avoiding the two long knives that struck him.

"Which one is on the lock, dare to come to my Hongsong Village to step on it?" One of the people saw that the sneak attack would not work, and then came with another knife, asking while chopping.

Wei Cheng has practiced boxing and kicking since he was a child, and his body is nimble. When he saw the long knife slashing towards him, he dodged, stretched out his hand and "bang" and grabbed the man's wrist. Kick away the other person who is trying to attack from behind.

Seeing that Wei Chenggong is a powerful husband, the two of them dared not love to fight, they ran into the woods, went left and right, and went back to the cottage to report the news.

It was also Wei Cheng's luck that the government had encircled and suppressed the gangsters in Dongshan several times, but to no avail. When the bearded men drilled into the mountains, they couldn't find any guards who were not familiar with the situation.

Later, the successive officials could only turn a blind eye and acquiesce in their existence.The government didn't care, and no one dared to mess with these beards, so they were very carefree and relaxed their vigilance.

The same is true for the Hongsong village. One is that the Hongsong village is hard to find, and the other is that no one has dared to break into the village since it was built.Therefore, only two trip ropes were set up outside the village, and the minions took turns guarding them at ordinary times.

Many people in the beard were just ordinary people in the past, because they couldn't survive, they put on a lot of effort to make beards. When it comes to skills, they really have nothing special about them. They can't be compared with Wei Cheng. The two who arrived were just like this. When they saw Wei Cheng's martial arts skills, they gave up and ran away.

In this way, I am afraid that the beard in the cottage will be alarmed.The plan to secretly rescue his brother failed, although he was annoyed, Wei Cheng tried his best to calm himself down, thinking about what to do next.

He was inexperienced, it was the first time he was fighting wits with someone, and the object was still a beard, so it was inevitable that he hadn't considered well.

Before Wei Cheng could think about it, a group of men and horses came out of the stockade. The first was a dark horse. The man on the horse was not tall, with a dark purple face and a long knife in his hand. He raised the knife and pointed at Wei Cheng. , "Where did you come from, dare to break into my red pine village? Don't you want to live?"

Wei Cheng rode on the horse, cupped his fists and saluted, "Down to Wei Cheng Wei Changshan, my elder brother was taken into the village by you the day before yesterday, I don't know what will happen to his life?"

When the leader heard this, he laughed loudly: "Young man, you are very courageous. You dare to go to Yema Mountain alone. If you want to save your brother, bring me some money."

Wei Cheng: "My family has prepared the money, and it will be delivered tomorrow. May I have a look at my brother?"

The leader: "It's really your brother's bottom pillar (slang, close person). It's also okay to touch the code (meet and meet), take the money, 100 taels of silver to see once." Well, it's money's eye.

Wei Cheng came out in a hurry, how could he bring so much money.Seeing that Wei Cheng was silent, the leader laughed, "No money? If you don't have money, you don't want to see him."

The other beards next to him joined in the fun, "Yes, don't want to meet, did you hear what our fourth family said? I really thought that Hongsong village was opened for your family, so you can come whenever you want, and see you whenever you want?"

Wei Cheng suppressed the anger in his heart: "We have no enmity with you Hongsong Village, why did you tie up my brother?"

The leader looked at Wei Cheng, and then looked back at his brother, "He asked us why, what an old man (a layman), we have a beard chasing a young man (kidnapping), and why? Hahahaha." The others followed suit. Sarcasm.

The Sidang family finished laughing, and pointed at Wei Cheng with a knife, "Boy, we have already made it clear in Yezi (letter) that we want your brother's life, so take the money to redeem it as soon as possible, and if you dare to be late, chop off his chicken feet (Hand) and stepping on the wood (feet)." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Wei Cheng with disdain, took the horse's reins, turned the horse's head, and wanted to go back to the village. He didn't pay attention to such a brat.

Wei Cheng got angry all of a sudden, took off the bow from behind, put on the arrow, opened the bow to the full moon, and shouted "Four masters." The moment the leader turned his head, the arrow shot out with a "swish", and four people were seen. The hat on the head of the house was nailed to the gate post next to the gate of the village with the "snap" of the arrow.

"Hiss!" The fourth master only felt a chill on the top of his head, subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his head, and the other beards also looked straight at him, the arrow was so accurate!

"Listen," Wei Cheng put away his bow and arrows, held a spear, and pointed at his beard, "If you dare to hurt a single hair of my brother, I, Wei Changshan, will flatten the Red Pine Ridge of Yema Mountain."

The four-headed leader blinked and recovered from his fear. Xu was overwhelmed by Wei Cheng's aura. Xu felt good about him not hurting his own life just now. Wuqiu, I only tied up a brother in the village because of an old grievance, you can rest assured, if you can deliver the money on time, your brother will be sent back safely." Finally, I stopped talking nonsense, these Wei Cheng understood.

After Sidang's family finished speaking, they led the troops into the stronghold. While walking forward, they couldn't help but listen to the movement behind them, fearing that Wei Cheng would shoot him another arrow.

"The fourth leader, let's just leave it at that? Are you really going to send that young man (hostage) back as it is?" One of the minions asked the fourth leader while walking. He was a little lame in one leg, but he was walking fast.

"If you don't send it back, you still want to tear up the ticket? Grandma is a ball, because of your stupid thing, Hu Laoer, it almost hurt Grandpa's life, why don't you hurry up and get out of here." He said and whipped Hu Laoer. .

"Hey, hey, the fourth master, I didn't expect that kid to be so good at archery." Hu Er Er didn't dare to provoke the master, smiled playfully, and ran away while apologizing.

The fourth child walked a few steps in and stopped. In front of him was the meeting hall in the village, which was actually a big room. The three elder brothers and the fifth child were all waiting for news from him inside.

Stepping into the room, the fourth brother's face was a little red, but with his original skin color, it was hard to tell.

"Brother," the fourth child entered the room, sat on a chair, and poured himself a bowl of tea from the pot.

"What's the matter, are they brought back or driven away?" the boss asked.

"No, it's the kid's younger brother who was kidnapped. He's just a kid. He doesn't know everything. I don't have the same knowledge as him." The fourth son said in a lower voice. The cottage is so big, the eldest brother and the others probably knew him a long time ago. It almost turned the bottom off.

"Fourth brother, you really deserve to be called a fool. Hu Laoer fooled you, you can follow the road, no matter who you are, you will be tied to the mountain. Fortunately, we have inquired about this family. It is not difficult to provoke. If When you hit a nail someday, it depends on what you can do." The fifth child robbed the fourth child for a few words.

"I, didn't I want to give our brothers some income." The fourth child was a little guilty. He was persuaded by the second child Hu to kidnap the ticket, and he did it on a whim without discussing it with the other leaders in advance.

"Okay, stop arguing about these useless things, since they are tied up, there is no reason to take a trip." The so-called thieves don't leave empty-handed, so does the beard.

"Who caused the disaster last year? It's hard for us to stutter." The fourth child muttered, and the fifth child looked at him, then at the other brothers, and didn't say anything more.

Since last winter, their beards have also had a difficult time living. They used to live by looting their homes. When a famine hit, the rich families ran to the city to hide. The remaining ordinary people would starve to death. , Let them rob food?

Take a walk in the village, even mice can't find a grain of food, let alone people!

It's so easy to look forward to the relief food from the government, but there are a lot of relief food, and it's not distributed all at once, only a little each time, and I want to grab a full meal for the brothers in the whole village, I don't know how many people have to be robbed to make up enough!

Let's buy it with money, his grandma's. The government is afraid that the rich will hoard grain, and every time they buy grain, they will limit the amount and report their household registration status!

Worry about the beards!Send people down the mountain in turn to find ways to get food everywhere, and the money is spent quickly.

This time, it was just in time for the fourth brother to take people to Wande Town to look for food. Who knew, after a tour of Wande Town, he was fooled by Hu Laoer to go to Yansui, and came back with a personal ticket.

It's not like he hasn't been tied up before, so let's just tie him up. Although the other leaders blamed the fourth child for his lack of brains, they didn't take it seriously.

At this time, Xi Yuan was tied up in a wooden house in the village. Fortunately, it was April weather. He got up early to send Xi Wei and the others to the exam. It was a little cold in the morning, so he wore more clothes. Because of this, the temperature in the mountains was low. At night, I was still so cold that my upper teeth hit my lower teeth.

It's been two days!The family must know.

That day, when Xiyuan woke up, he was thrown into a carriage. The carriage ran very fast and bumped all the way. Xiyuan was hurt by the bumps, but he still tried his best to pretend not to wake up. He held his breath beforehand, The amount of drug inhaled was small. Although he was unconscious, the time was much shorter than expected. Taking advantage of this time, the kidnappers relaxed their vigilance. Xiyuan considered whether he could find a chance to escape, or, at least understood, Who kidnapped himself, and what was the purpose of the kidnapping?

"Fourth master, we caught a fat sheep, how can the eldest master praise you when we go back?" A flattering voice came from outside.

"Okay, big brother give me a reward, share it with you kid." Another voice said.

"No, I don't want it, this is what I should do, and it's all thanks to the fourth master." The man continued to flatter.

"Hey, you kid, you're on the right track. Stand up." The carriage picked up speed, and Xi Yuan bumped twice, almost hitting the wall of the car.

"Isn't it almost here? Why hasn't the fifth master said to pick us up yet?" The person in the car looking at Xiyuan opened the curtain and asked the other two.

"It's probably coming soon, the fifth one is very reliable in speaking and doing things." said the one called the fourth master.

Sure enough, after a while, Xiyuan heard the sound of horseshoes.

"Hey, hey, I can count on you guys." Xiyuan heard a voice saying, probably the fifth child who just arrived, "How much food did you get?" Then the curtain of the car was pulled open, and there was light inside, Xiyuan Close your eyes and pretend to be unconscious.

"Fourth brother, how did you get a living thing back? The food? I asked you to buy food, where did you buy it?" The fifth child opened the curtain and looked at it, then put it down again, Xiyuan heaved a sigh of relief.

"Grandma is so ugly, it's not easy to buy food at all now, so I keep asking, and there are guards guarding the grain store, as if they are following the yamen." The fourth child complained, "I thought that we were running out of money in the village. I just helped a young man back." There was complacency in his voice.

"Okay, fourth brother, I can make up my own mind!" The fifth child sneered, and his words were full of meaning.

The fourth brother was in a cold war, and the major issues in the cottage were always discussed by several leaders. He was making decisions without authorization. asked nervously.

"No, you are so capable, and it's too late for eldest brother and the others to be happy. But, fourth brother, how did you come up with such a good idea?" asked the fifth child.

"Hey, I didn't expect it. It was Hu Er Er who reminded me that I did it." The fourth child said.

"Oh, Hu's second child." The fifth child stretched his tone and did not say a word. The fourth child was not interested in asking for credit because of his anxiety.

Hu's second son, Xi Yuan vaguely felt that he had heard of such a person somewhere, but where exactly?There is no such person among the people I know!

Also, Xiyuan felt that the voice of the fifth child who spoke just now seemed to have been heard somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Along the way, Xiyuan didn't find a chance to escape, so he had to continue to pretend to be dizzy.Later, when the car stopped, he was dragged out of the car and thrown into the wooden house. A person kicked him several times "Kang Bang Bang", but Xiyuan resisted to make a sound.

"Damn, I ruined my family! If I don't kill your family today, my surname will not be Hu!" Hearing that it was Hu's second child, he had enough kicks, turned around and left the house, and the other two looked at Xiyuan.

"Xiao Liu, why did this family offend Mr. Hu? Why is the family ruined?" There were two beard chattering voices outside, and Xiyuan was now [-]% sure that it was Hu Zi who kidnapped him.

"You don't know, it seems that Hu's second daughter-in-law took his daughter and let someone in this family abduct him, and his father is also furious. Hu's second wife can't swallow this breath."

"With his limping appearance, how can he still talk about a wife? Don't talk nonsense."

"You still don't believe me, Hu Lao Er used to have a daughter-in-law, but he was addicted to gambling, so he ran away in anger. His leg, he couldn't pay back the money he lost, and he was crippled." Called Xiao Liu the way.

It turned out to be him!Now Xiyuan remembered, gambling, lameness, father's death, daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law marrying, isn't Hu Er Er the ex-husband of Aunt Yuzhen?

This damned gambler should have tried to kill him back then!Xiyuan hated his teeth, but the first thing he should solve was how to get out, he couldn't sit still.

Xiyuan struggled hard for the ropes that bound his hands and feet, but the more he struggled, the tighter the ropes became. In the end, Xiyuan's arms and legs were stretched out by the ropes.

Pig's trotter buckle, Xiyuan heard from his grandfather and father that when slaughtering a pig, the pig butcher will fasten the pig's trotter buckle on the two front and rear hooves of the pig. The more the pig earns, the stronger the rope buckle will be. , No matter how strong the pig is, it can't break free.

Now, this method has been used on himself.

Because of the struggle just now, the hands and feet were tied too tightly, Xiyuan couldn't help it, so he had to pretend that he just woke up, and shouted for someone, two people from outside came in and asked what was the matter, Xiyuan said he was going to the latrine, but the two of them didn't make things difficult for him , Untied the rope buckle for him, led him away, and tied it up again when he came back.

This time Xiyuan didn't dare to move easily.

In the evening, two guards were changed, and Xiyuan was given a sorghum pancake.Even though he had just crossed over and his family's conditions were poor, he had never eaten such thick grains. However, in order to preserve his strength, Xiyuan still tried his best to swallow it.

In the dead of night, the guards outside were snoring, but Xiyuan didn't feel sleepy at all, thinking how his family would panic when they knew he was missing.

Xiaowei will finish the exam in one day, and Chengzi will also take the martial arts exam in a few days, grandparents, father and mother... Xiyuan thought about the family members one by one, usually he didn't feel it, but now he realizes that these people It has become a part of life, even in danger, it still makes him worry about it.

The family members will try to save themselves, right?However, it is easier said than done to rescue someone from the bandit's den!
