Beauty Jianghu

Chapter 198 Finding Paradise

In the middle of the night, this group of bandits got up secretly, about twenty of them, and ran quietly down the mountain.

When I ran to the foot of the mountain, I saw Li Xing and Xiong Songlin. These two men were highly skilled in martial arts. One held a sword and the other played a jade flute to greet them.

Seeing that they were already prepared, if there was another mutation, they would definitely not forgive me, so I had to come back obediently, get into the haystack, and discuss it in a low voice.

After much discussion, it was impossible not to bring them into the village, especially the dozen or so people from the Taihang Mountains who were brave and brutal. If they offended them, they would be dead.

The next day, before dawn, this group of bandits sincerely took the brothers of the "Taihang Three Heroes" and Yang Shucheng and other five people towards the mountain stronghold.

It only took two days in the mountains. We came to a small river and walked along it. It was a hidden path. If someone hadn't led us there, we wouldn't have known there was such a small mountain path.

After walking zigzag on the path for more than half an hour, we came to a cliff, where a stream flowed out of a cave.

Two bandits waded into the cave, pulled out a small boat, and said, "Those who don't know how to swim can just sit on the boat, and those who know how to swim can swim in."

As a result, all bandits can swim, but most of the "Taihang Three Heroes" cannot swim.

There was no other way. Seven or eight people sat in the small boat, which was full. The remaining people had no choice but to cling to the side of the boat and swim inside.

In the dark cave, after swimming for a while, I saw a little light in front of me.

"arrive."

Then everyone used their strength to row the boat to the light, and it was out of the cave.

Outside the cave, it was suddenly clear. There was a large piece of flat land inside, with flat fields, green crops, flowing streams, and lush forests. It was such a good place! No wonder this group of bandits didn't want to bring everyone here even if they were beaten to death.

The village women inside heard that the men had returned from doing business, and thought there were a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, all of which were so shiny that they would blind people's eyes.

Therefore, they came to greet them one by one excitedly, and when they came closer, they found that except for knives, the men had no treasures in their hands. On the contrary, there were seven or eight men missing. They thought they lost their lives by mistake.

There are definitely risks in doing business. There are profits and losses. When you make money, you are happy, but when you lose money, you also beat your chest.

Those who had lost their loved ones began to cry loudly, and there was a lot of crying and curses.

But seeing so many strangers coming, I thought they were here for revenge. Could it be that they wanted to kill the man and rob the woman?

One woman saw it and understood in her heart that she did not dare to cry. The other women also stopped crying and looked at the strangers helplessly.

The bandit leader hurriedly explained that he was someone who came to join the gang.

They saw a group of men coming, some tall and some short, some handsome and some ugly. The women didn't say much. Anyway, there was a lot of wasteland here. When people came, they would open up more wasteland and they wouldn't starve to death.

When there are more men, the women here are particularly popular. During the slack time, they may have to show off their beauty again.

The men here didn't say anything when they saw the women, and they couldn't say anything themselves. Could it be that if they said it, these women would kill the person and avenge their men?

So, he led the group into the village ancestral hall.

This group of bandits were originally villagers from nearby Tongbai County. Due to a drought one year, there was no harvest. This group of villagers, led by their leader, robbed the owner of the village's food, and the government sent troops to encircle and suppress them.

This group of villagers couldn't win the fight, but they didn't want to go to jail, so they ran into the Dabie Mountains under the leadership of their leader.

The officers and soldiers went into the mountains to encircle and suppress them, driving the villagers like rabbits, jumping up and down without a single day of peace.

Finally, under the leadership of an old hunter, we came to this good place to avoid Qin.

This hunter also accidentally discovered this cave heaven and fortune by chasing a deer.

This group of villagers lived in this place, opened up wasteland and farmed land, and lived a stable life. It's just that they rebelled once, and they still have some addiction, so they go out of the cave to do business every now and then. Doing business is always easier than farming.

Who is willing to work hard to farm and give up that easy business? Not only are the men willing to go out to do business, but the women are also urging the men not to stay at home all the time, but to go out to do business and earn money to support their wives and children.

I made a lot of gold, silver and jewels from one business, and my addiction got bigger and bigger. This time I finally met the "Taihang Three Heroes" and Yang Shucheng and others, and finally started a loss-making business, and even gave up the cave to others. .

In the ancestral hall, a big feast is held to celebrate the new arrival. It's nothing more than chicken, duck, fish and goose, and the wine is home-brewed grain wine.

While drinking, Xiong Songlin asked them: Why do they seem to have been trained and set up some formation when they kill?

This group of villagers regarded them as one of their own, so to tell the truth, they went out of the cave to do business a few years ago and did not want to meet anyone.

This man was a short, fat man with sparse hair on his head. Despite his unimpressive appearance, he was highly skilled in martial arts. With one person and a sword, he could challenge four or five people and beat them into flight.

Unexpectedly, the group of villagers fled back, and the man followed them in quietly.

He came as a guest and stayed in the cave for more than a year. It turns out that he came here to avoid revenge and hid in the cave for more than a year without daring to go out.

He was also bored during this year. Seeing that they liked to do risky business, he taught them some sword skills. Seeing that they were not good at martial arts, he taught them battle formations so that they could cooperate with each other. If one attacks, the other will attack. Cover, if one is defeated, the other will come to protect, like a mandarin duck formation.

So much so that after this group of villagers learned this mandarin duck formation, they went out to do business and were always successful, making more and losing less. The business grew bigger and bigger.

Unexpectedly, this time they met the "Taihang Three Heroes" and they suffered defeat for the first time.

When Li Xing saw them saying this, he turned around and asked them: Who is this person?

"I won't hide it from you, this person's name is Chen Shaoyong."

As soon as he said it, Li Xing and Yang Shucheng laughed loudly and said, "We know this man. He is now taking an apprentice named Jiang Wen. He followed Li Zicheng to Beijing and was named a general. ”

"Oh." The villagers in these caves are really envious.

After a day of drinking, they arranged for the visitors to sleep in each house at night.

The next day, the men in the village began to build houses. There were many trees and stones here, and they used local materials. By evening, the houses were almost completed.

The "Three Heroes of Taihang" led more than a dozen of their brothers to clear up wasteland and plant the land, preparing to stay here for a long time.

Yang Shucheng and five other people stayed for two nights and were about to resign.

They had important things to do and couldn't delay, so the people in the cave held a banquet to say goodbye. When they were leaving, Li Xing gave them a small bundle, which he got from Taoist Priest Jin Guan. It was just a favor.

The banquet is over and I say goodbye. Yang Shucheng and the other five people walked out along the cave.

Yang Shucheng looked back at the cave and couldn't help but think of a poem:

Find a peach garden to avoid Qin,

Pink is another spring.

Do not send the peach blossoms to follow the flowing water;

I'm just afraid that the fisherman will come to ask about it.

The five people identified the road, passed through the Dabie Mountains, and came to the southern foot of the mountains.

After asking for directions, we walked west along the foothills for half a day and saw Liujia Village.

It was still evening, the sun had not set in the west, but the door of Master Liu was open. A big red lantern hangs high on the door, emitting a pleasant light. Is there any happy event for the Liu family?

As he was walking forward, he saw Bai Yuyao slowly walking out while waving her folding fan.

When he raised his head and saw everyone, he ran over and said, "General Li, you are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Yang Shucheng looked at him and smiled. Bai Yuyao knew his smile and said to them, "I'm bored waiting here. I have become the Liu family's son-in-law."

"Congratulations, congratulations." Yang Shucheng and Li Xing congratulated him.

It turned out that Bai Yuyao jumped down from the cypress tree, and the Liu family was frightened and wanted to escape but couldn't. Xiong Songlin introduced them to them in time, saying that Bai Yuyao was Li Zicheng's general and was passing by Zuo Liangyu on business.

When the Liu family saw that Bai Yuyao was not a tree god, they were less afraid. They saw that he was also a talented person with high martial arts skills. The key was that he was a general of the new dynasty and his future was limitless. They no longer cared about his toying with this person. thing.

The Liu family invited the tree god to their home to entertain him, but he was flattered for a while. Even King Shen was invited to be present. The people in the room drank wine and ate meat, and soon became drunk.

The rich man and his wife returned to the room. The rich man's wife asked him, "What should I do with this girl?"

Mr. Liu asked: "What do you think of this son-in-law?"

"I think he is a promising person."

"Is my daughter willing?"

"I'll ask her." The mother-in-law walked into her daughter's room happily. After chatting for a few words, she couldn't help but ask:

"What do you think of General Bai?"

"How about what?" Liu Yuqin lowered her head and said calmly.

"Just...just, are you willing to marry him?"

When Liu Yuqin heard this, her face turned red again and she turned around.
