The new year comes in the first month.

Along the way, people welcome and see off the six gods, drink Tusu, and worship ancestors. There are wealth gates on the friezes, and spring banners hang on the lintels; big villages blow firecrackers after nightfall.People stay up all night to watch the New Year's Eve, and during the day, they exorcise, burn, burn and replace, which is very lively.

The common people are always optimistic and accessible.Trampled by the sky, new shoots grow in the footprints of the horse's hoofs, and when encountering a little warm wind and running water, small flowers facing the sun will secretly bloom.

Although what I see every day when I open my eyes is still a world of ice and snow, it seems that spring is really not far away.

Shen Shiwei and I have been busy for another day.When it was time for dinner, a passer-by said that there was a village in the middle of the mountain, and Shen Zhiwei refused to go on the mountain road, so I left him waiting at the mountain pass and went to ask for alms by myself.

After walking for a while, I finally turned down the ridge, only to find that the village was a little different from the ones I met before.Every house is closed, I knocked all the way, and occasionally heard voices coming from behind the door, but no one answered.

After turning two more turns, I saw crowds of people on the threshing dam, probably some kind of folk activity.

On New Year's Eve, Shen Shiwei and I completely tore our faces apart.Seeing through the little bit of affection between him and him, I feel lighter instead.There is no need to think too much now, just go straight to the threshing dam.Now that I have traveled through time, I must watch the excitement that I have never seen in the past, who cares who is still waiting for me hungry?

When I got there, I realized that it was not a folk activity, but a mass event.

Those who gathered on the dam were all young and strong men, holding the guys together into three groups.Sternly suppressing Xingyun's scolding, I tiptoed to the outer circle without anyone noticing.

Probe into the brain.But I heard a familiar voice calling me again and again: "Brother Liu!"

Someone desperately fought against the current to get out of the crowd, squeezed in front of me, and slapped my arm several times: "Why are you here!"

I was also pleasantly surprised, and punched him on the shoulder: "Lao Ye! You are walking slowly enough!"

Ye Yingguo said: "I made a round trip to Qianquan Mansion! Where's your brother?"

who is my brotherI sneered in my heart, and diverted the conversation: "It's so lively! What are you doing?" Before I finished speaking, Ye Luguo forced something cold into my hand.

Looking down, it turned out to be a plain knife.

How could I accept it, and hurriedly let go, Ye Luguo squeezed my fist tightly, "Hold it, hold it, even if you don't use any effort, I will also defend you."

I said, "What's the matter? Do you still need to defend yourself?"

Ye Yuguo took me to a sparsely populated place, turned his back and said: "You are also unlucky, why did you enter this village today!" He spat on the ground: "Bah! If we are not unlucky, I can’t even enter this village today! Brother Liu, I’m not going to hide it from you, Lao Ye, I’m serving the country with King Liu.”

I was confused: "What King Liu? How to serve the country?"

Ye Yingguo's face was full of pride: "Tuonan Liu Datong's Liu, serving the country of the National Army! When Dajing died, the two generals Guo and Liu led the Baoguo Army and Manzi to fight in Tuonan for two years. Have you ever heard of it? How did the barbarian Emperor Wu die? Old General Liu shot down the banner with an arrow that shot down the flag, scaring him out of his wits! Our King Liu is the descendant of General Liu !"

I can't laugh or cry, but this drama of establishing a name and tracing the authenticity is really endless, and everyone is the same.Of course I have heard the story of serving the national army, but both Guo and Liu are young heroes, especially Liu Changqian, who was only 17 years old when he was skinned and eaten by Zhengao people. I wonder if he has the time and energy to spare?

I said: "Lao Ye, you are a hero! But I have nothing to offer. By the way, my brother is still waiting for me. I have to go back to find him. I will go first. You take the knife first."

Ye Yuguo hurriedly put his hands behind his back: "I won't keep you, I'm afraid they won't let you go!"

I wondered, "Who?"

Looking up, I was tugging with him for a while, and finally attracted people's attention.Some people in the other two battle groups looked at us aggressively. Seeing me looking back, some people took a sickle and slashed at my neck twice.

Ye Luguo hesitated for a moment, a little embarrassed: "Our military master Zeng sent us to the village to do meritorious deeds, and it just so happened that the bastard who was the star of the sky also sent someone to mess with Latin. The villagers fought with us." He clapped his hands fiercely, He laughed flatteringly and generously: "Come on, why did I forget our merits! Take this too!" This time I stuffed something hot into my lapel again, it was two pieces of straw Leaf-wrapped dumpling, a lot of rice grains overflowed from the cracks.

A red-faced man also overflowed from his formation.Holding a simple knife upright, he smiled before saying anything, and touched two of my chest muscles: "It's even more amazing when you look at it up close! What does he eat to make him so big! Hey, Lao Ye, is he in the gang or not?"

How dare I wade into this muddy water, take advantage of the moment when Ye Luguo twisted his face to talk to the red-faced man, kicked off like a cunning rabbit, and jumped a foot away.I ran two steps, and suddenly remembered that I forgot something, and threw the simple knife in my hand towards Lao Ye: "I'm sorry, this time it's my brother, I'm not righteous!"

Although I knew that ordinary people couldn't catch up with me, the more I thought about it, the more ridiculous I felt, so I simply ran across the village in one breath.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw Shen Zhiwei standing under a big tree with a crooked neck from a distance.

When he saw me running wildly all the way, we were both taken aback.I hurriedly braked the car, pretending nothing happened, shook my clothes, and walked towards him leisurely.

Fortunately, there are rice balls given by Lao Ye. As I walked, I took out one and threw it into his arms: "Lunch."

Shen Zhi didn't answer, the rice ball hit his chest and rolled to the ground.He sneered: "Brother Qin is as distant as a yellow crane, once gone he will never return."

I didn't go to pick up the rice ball either, I sneered and said, "Is it okay?" Taking advantage of the situation, I beat him up again: "It's agreed to wait at the mountain pass, why run around?"

The mockery on Shen Zhiwei's face deepened, and he raised his face towards the intersection at the foot of the mountain: "Hey, how dare I wait at the mountain pass?"

Seeing that there was something in his words, I swallowed my saliva and asked: "... Is there any trouble?" Seeing that there was no one around, I used lightness kung fu to jump up to the old tree with crooked neck.

The place where I parted from him just now was filled with smoke and dust, although it was not very clear, but horses neighed and people made noise, a black and red banner was hoisted high, it was the officers and soldiers who were gathering.

I jumped off the rock, cold sweat broke out all over my forehead: "This is broken."

Shen Shi said coldly: "I encountered more than once or twice interrogation, what's wrong?"

I smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid I've got it right this time."

This small village is surrounded by two mountains, and there is only one road to go in and out of the mountain. We are the turtles in the urn.I took Shen Zhiwei back to the dam, only to see three waves of people Ma Wu yelling and cursing, but they still couldn't fight.Fortunately, Ye Luguo was still lingering on the sidelines. Seeing me go and come back, Shen Shiwei was overjoyed and ran towards us, waving a shining big knife.Before he chopped me down, I rushed to shout: "Something went wrong!"

Ye Luguo is an old Jianghu, and he didn't panic too much after hearing what I said, so he hurriedly called the red-faced man over.In addition to the red-faced man, there were two lower-ranking officers leading the Bao Guojun team.It's just that they don't seem to have much actual combat experience. When they heard that the officers and soldiers came, they were in a mess and had all kinds of opinions.I listened to their nonsense for a while, but there was nothing I could do. I walked to the buffering white space in the middle of the dam, channeled my internal energy, and shouted: "The officers and soldiers are coming!!"

The crowd was silent for a moment, then suddenly the chamber exploded.Fortunately, a genius thought of it to verify whether I was lying or not. After a while, the spies came back running out of shit, and only kept shouting the word "official".

The word "official" is like a drumbeat.Once he shouted, he gave a heavy blow to the war drum of sorrow. People were like grains of rice on the drum, and they also leaped panickedly towards the sky.Some scolded Liu Wang for a terrible death, some said that Hun Tianxing should have his head cut off, and some called that even one of the officers and soldiers should not even think about living.Someone screamed again and again: "I'll tie them up and go to the magistrate! I'll tie them up and go to the magistrate!", but was overwhelmed by the roar of others: "You are afraid of the barbarians coming to kill you, are you not afraid of our brothers coming to kill you? !"

Shen Zhiwei found a stone roller and sat down comfortably since he arrived on the dam.After observing the stupid human beings for a long time, he said Shi Shiran: "It's better to strike first, and it's still too late to go to the mountain pass to make a fuss." But he was facing the leaders of the national army.

The voice is not high, but the words are extraordinarily positive and round, and the spirit is calm.If it was someone else, I was afraid that he would be scolded "who are you?", but his appearance and demeanor were so intimidating that those officers shut their mouths at the same time.A few minions who were standing far away didn't hear clearly, so they dared to push the elbows of others and asked softly, "What did he just say?"

As soon as the Bao Guojun fell silent, the silence spread like ripples, getting bigger and bigger, and finally swept across the audience.

In the silence, Shen Shiwei's calm eyes swept over everyone, and he said: "I have a way to protect everyone. Come with me."

As I spoke, I stood up from the stone mill. I had no choice but to stride forward and stand side by side with him.Seeing that the crowd was about to commotion again, I pretended to open the way for him and kicked the stone roller a foot away.

The buzzing of the discussion stopped immediately, and when it sounded again, it had turned into a boil.

Ye Yingguo's voice was particularly loud: "Brother Liu, our lives are entrusted to you!"

Shen Zhiwei and I walked towards the mountain pass.In the middle of the trip, I couldn't help but sneak a glance back. Seeing that there were dozens of people following us, I felt relieved.

Finally, a corporal leader who reported to the national army came to his senses, caught up with three steps at a time, and asked Shen Shiwei: "Who are you?"

Shen Zhiwei smiled contemptuously, and didn't look directly at him, as if he didn't need to talk about his mysterious identity.The opponent froze, but was actually bluffed by him, and retreated into the crowd again.

Shen Zhiwei led the team out of the village, and I don't know when he paid attention to it. The last section of the road into the village is wide at the front and narrow at the back, with stone walls on both sides that people can climb up, like a gourd mouth, it is simply a textbook for ambushes terrain.

Shen Zhiwei sent people to climb up the stone walls on both sides. Although it was too late to prepare rolling stones and wood, there were some ready-made stones on the mountain.Then he divided the remaining people into two groups, hid them in front of and behind the mouth of the gourd, and found a long rope from the village as a tripping rope.

These three groups of people were going to fight just now, but now they are walking together in order to survive. Although they are still a mob, Shen Shiwei is organized in an orderly manner, and the formation is set up in a short time, waiting for Zhengao to enter the bag.

I still asked Ye Luguo for the simple knife, and Shen Shiwei assigned twenty or so men to guard at the end of the road, waiting for the Zhengao people to come back in disorder and catch them by surprise.

He gave me good timing and went to the other side of the road to lead the army.When I saw him walking away, my heart was flustered, but I still couldn't help but greet him: "Hey!"

He turned around.I saw that his face was impatient, and suddenly I couldn't help it. After a while, I finally said: "You, you still stay with me?" He can't use his internal strength now. Can take care of.

Shen Shi was slightly stunned, and then he turned his head as if what I said was nothing more than a howling mountain wind and he didn't hear a word, and headed towards Ye Luguo.

Well, I put my hot face on someone's cold ass again, why do I have such a short memory?

After retracting a piece of rock, I lightly tried the edge of Pu Dao with my fingers.Seeing my twenty or so temporary team members sweating profusely from nervousness, I thought about telling a joke that fit the occasion to relax, but after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of anything, so I had to give up.

Shen Zhiwei just saw the officers and soldiers avoiding him from a distance at the foot of the mountain, so why did he come to report to me again and become the bastard in the urn with me?

He doesn't even want to owe me a piece of pork, but he doesn't mind that I owe him heads over and over again.

Although he doesn't regard me as a friend, but intentionally or unintentionally put himself in danger for me, I'm afraid few friends can do it.

I only felt a pain in my finger, which had been cut by the knife edge, and I hurriedly stuffed it into my mouth.

If it works, I really wish I could pry open his celestial cover and see what this bastard is thinking.

The bloody smell in my mouth gradually diluted. I heard the sound of horseshoes on the road, and hurriedly signaled the team members to bend down and poke their heads out to peek.Hearing the sound of hooves, only 50 to [-] people came up the mountain. If this small number of people entered our encirclement, they might never come back.

The hooves of the horses gradually approached and passed over our heads. A young man of seventeen or eighteen in the team grabbed my thigh tightly.I don't know if he is a subordinate of Baoguo Army, Huntianxing, or a villager, his face is full of horror, and his mouth is silently opened and closed like boiled fish.I stared at his tonsils, and didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that he would scream.

The few minutes of waiting for the sound of horseshoes to go away was like sitting on charcoal.

After another long time, the shouts of killing in front finally sounded.

The young man finally got what he wanted, and he also groaned strangely.

We jumped up from behind the rocks and bushes, and saw the Zhengao man in the gourd mouth in front of us being killed and turned his back on his back.

I cleared my throat.When I was lurking just now, I thought for a long time what to shout at this moment, but now there is only the most traditional and simple sentence hovering in my mouth.

Pointing forward with my long knife, I yelled, "Kill!"
