Beacon quenching beauty

Song Qingshu put on a piece of clothes like a torn sack and sat on the grass on the hillside basking in the sun.

The sun in early spring shone warmly on the body, and there was a little greenness on the surrounding grass and trees.He just drank a big bowl of porridge with wild vegetables. He added a few pieces of wild rabbit meat to the porridge, warming it from his stomach to his body. He squinted his eyes and wanted to sleep comfortably.

This is a habit developed at Aunt Niu's place. Taking a nap after lunch is good for health.

"Big brother! Big brother! Your medicine." The big-eyed man walked over with a thick porcelain bowl and a flattering face.

Song Qingshu reached out to take it, and slowly drank the medicinal juice inside, "Wu Yi, how much ration do we have?"

The big-eyed man also sat down on the ground beside him, scratching the top of his head, "There is still half a piece of the wild boar that I killed last time, and there is not much rice noodles left. I guess it can be eaten for another two days with some wild vegetables and mushrooms."

Song Qingshu took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it over, "Go, take your brothers, and the fifth and sixth sons, who are more safe, go to Xucheng County at the foot of the mountain to buy some grain, and help me grab two more by the way." medicine."

The big-eyed man smiled mischievously, "Brother, you still have to save your money to buy medicine and treat diseases. How can we buy food for us?"

Song Qingshu gave him a blank look, "You all call me big brother, can I still watch you starve? Hurry up and come back before dark!"

The big-eyed man jumped up and ran with a "hey".

Song Qingshu looked at his back from behind, rubbed his forehead and sighed, why did he become a big brother without paying attention? If he was still Song Shaoxia in the past, these characters were all cut off by him when he was walking in the rivers and lakes. Can also collude.

But now the situation is different. These robbers are actually villagers from the nearby villages. They were too poor to survive and started this worthless business.

Coincidentally, the big-eyed man is also surnamed Song. There used to be an old lady and a brother in his family. He was an honest and responsible farmer.

Originally, he could still live, but his village was looted once by Zhang Shicheng's army passing by at the beginning of the year, and then the army sent by the imperial court to exterminate Zhang Shicheng was ravaged again.

After the two armies crossed the border, the officials still came to the door every now and then, with a lot of taxes and corvee. The old man at home finally starved to death in the late spring and early summer. , Many people in the village admired him, so he brought his brothers and called a group of fellow villagers who were about to starve to death to go up the mountain to start a robbery business.

The country folks didn't have the honorable name of the banquet, because they wanted to be the king of the mountain, the Song brothers went to ask for advice, and then they heard the words "martial arts unrivaled" from somewhere, so they split them apart, one and half , the elder brother is called Song Wuyi, and the younger brother is named Song Gaishi.

Song Wuyi and Song Gaishi came to Song Qingshu during the robbery, and after a fight, they all bowed down together, willingly retiring to be the second and third masters, and gave up the position of eldest brother to Song Qingshu.

Song Qingshu has no place to go anyway, seeing that if he doesn't care, these stupid thieves are likely to starve to death, because everyone's surname is Song, and they stayed in the family 500 years ago, and became Song in a daze. The eldest brother Song Da is the head of the family, and the most important task every day is to find rations for this group of people, and be careful not to starve to death.

These days there are refugees all over the place, and everyone passing by is so poor that if they want to rely on robbery to eat, they may starve to death, so Song Qingshu first took out the silver taels he had with him, and asked them to go down the mountain to buy rice, flour, sugar and salt. Then he led the people to hunt in the mountains.

He carried the slingshot given to him by Zhang Wuji with a gilded and carved handle. To wild boar and roe deer.

All the mountain bandits finally had enough to eat for two days since they became bandits, and they all respected this new scholar elder brother like a god, and they all knew that there was a capable master in Wuniuling , Follow him to eat, so there is an endless stream of people from nearby.

Song Qingshu saw that the population on Wuniuling was increasing, and he was worried. The accommodation was easy to manage. Everyone is not particular about it. You can sleep several people in a thatched hut. The problem is that rations are difficult to solve. The little money has long been spent, hundreds of people are about to run out of food, Song Qingshu is riding a tiger, and the big boss has been working for several months, he can't give up at this time, let alone watch his subordinates starve, and suddenly feel the burden on his shoulders It weighs more than a thousand catties, and I understand why Zhang Wuji, who is a majestic Mingjiao leader, always laments that he would rather be an ordinary person.

On this day, I took a dozen or so nimble hunters into the mountains to hunt. I was very lucky. I caught a wild boar, a roe deer, a few rabbits, and a pheasant within half a day.

Everyone went back with their prey, and Song Wuyi followed Song Qingshu happily, "Brother, you are not only accurate with the slingshot, you are also good at kung fu. You always take medicine and are not in good health. You are so powerful that you can kill wild boars with one sword." Now, take these things home today, everyone will have a share, and with some wild vegetables and sweet potatoes, no one will be hungry."

Song Qingshu asked him, "How many people are there on our mountain now?"

"More than 400 and almost 500 people."

"Excluding the old and the young doesn't count, how many of them are really able to do business?" What he said about doing business in the right way is what these people say is buying and selling without capital, blocking roads and robbing.

Song Gaishi caught up from behind, just in time to hear this sentence, "Brother, do you want to bring someone to do a vote? The problem is that there are no lucrative merchants passing by recently?"

Song Qingshu didn't answer him first, but asked, "How many martial arts are there?"

Song Wuyi blinked his big eyes and calculated in his mind for a while, "There should be four hundred."

"Okay! When you go back today, gather these 400 people together for me. It's not good to keep them scattered like this. To practice, first divide them into four teams, with 100 people in each team. You lead one team, and Gai Shi leads the other. The fifth brother of the Qi family will lead a team, and the fat man will lead another team. I will teach you some simple boxing skills and rules, and I will start practicing tomorrow." Qi Lao Wu and Fatty are capable people in the cottage after the Song brothers.

Song Wuyi and Song Gaishi clapped their hands together and said yes, "Yes, yes, military training! It's still the eldest brother who is thoughtful, and we can't raise these people like uncles, and they won't be able to do it when the big business comes."

Song Qingshu nodded and smiled, "That's right, I'm going to let them do a big deal in a few days." His face turned cold, and he instructed, "You guys have to practice carefully. Remember, there are clear rewards and punishments! There are those who dare to smile disobediently Fight as you need, even if you kill one or two, the rules have to be established, and I will check after ten days, and if any team fails to lead the soldiers, the leader of the team will serve with military sticks!"

The two brothers shrank their necks in fright, "Understood, big brother."
