The leader of the third village was even more unlucky. He had just smashed four daggers away, but before he could take care of anyone else, he was positioned by two long spears.
Seeing that the two brothers were in trouble, the leader of the fourth village became as anxious as a madman. He flew up and down with a steel knife and rushed into the military formation. The other elites of Yingkou Peak were afraid that the leader of the fourth village would go to the two brothers to drink. Tea left everyone alone and rushed forward to protect and kill. In just a short time, although more than a dozen sergeants were chopped off, most of the elite soldiers of Yingkou Peak were killed or injured. The leaders of the four villages came out of the military formation and looked around them. There were only five or six people left who could still fight.
The leader of the officers and soldiers who led the team was also surprised when he saw that 30% of the troops on his side were reduced. He hurriedly suppressed the team and sent people to report to the captain quickly that he was ready to prepare.
Huangshan led a large group of troops to the front. Seeing that most of his elite brothers were killed, blood immediately rushed upwards. Without caring about anything else, he threw away the salt and rushed forward with swords and guns. The leader of the team knew that something bad was going on. There were too many people on the other side. If the captain's reinforcements arrived slowly, he might have annihilated the entire army if he held on. But if he withdrew his troops at this time, the No. 30 soldiers would be killed by others. As soon as they were chased, they immediately collapsed. These soldiers were wearing armor and stomach, and they would definitely not be able to outrun these bandits, and they were certain to die. It was better to resist them with all their strength, and maybe save their own lives.
Hearing the constant shouts of killing, the captain rushed over with the officers and soldiers of the brigade. On the way, he met the soldiers who reported the news. The captain was grateful that he was wise and came not too late. However, even if he led the troops to rush forward, he could only catch up with the scene where his deputy was heroically beheaded. Relying on the strength of their numbers, Huangshan finally broke through the formation of these sergeants at the cost of twenty lives, divided and surrounded the group of sergeants, and beheaded all of them.
The officers, soldiers, and lieutenants really couldn't believe that someone actually dared to confront his own army openly, especially when the other party was just a rabble with a few broken knives and broken guns. Is it tolerable or not? The captain was determined not to let go of any of the gangsters. He immediately roared, swung his machete, and charged forward in the lead.
The brothers at Yingkou Peak, led by Huangshan, were already furious. Seeing the officers and soldiers rushing over again, everyone rushed up in a swarm regardless of the number of people.
The captain is brave, but he really doesn’t have as much experience as his deputy. The consequence of the captain taking the lead in the charge was that although the officers and soldiers were fully armored and had sharp swords and guns, they dispersed from the formation and broke into a chaotic battle as soon as they made contact. Although all the elite members of the village had just been wiped out, when it came to a one-on-one fight, the people of Yingkou Peak were more daring than the officers and soldiers. There is no disadvantage in fighting. After the captain was stabbed to death by Huang Shan and others, the officers and soldiers immediately broke up and fled for their lives when they saw that their leader had been killed.
Although Huangshan and others dispersed the officers and soldiers, they did not know if there was any backup from the officers and soldiers nearby, so they could only find a way to evacuate as soon as possible. Checking the manpower of the village, there were more than 30 people who were slightly injured or intact. Huangshan personally carried the four village masters on his back. Yan Huo couldn't take care of them, so he took all the brothers who could move, immediately stood out from the mountain pass, and rushed back to the village overnight.
This time, not only did they lose 70% of the elite in the village, but alsoZhai Concept's savings were all lost, except for the more than 20 pieces of rock salt that had been saved in the village. The brothers who had formed a sworn brotherhood at the beginning, except for the fourth leader who died only after returning to the stronghold, the rest were all killed in this battle, and their bodies were not even recovered.
What’s even worse is that the Shu army has entered Hanzhong, and all of their original business areas have become battlefields. Because of this war, almost all the countryside in the three counties have been deserted. If it’s gone, who will sell the salt to? Moreover, the business in my village has always been smooth, and I get along well with the people around me. The food in the mountain can only be prepared for half a month and ten days. Anyway, I can go down the mountain to buy it at any time. Now that the people have fled, the food is in vain. There is not much left. I don’t know how long this battle will last. We can’t live by fighting for more than thirty people after they have eaten all the food, right?
The more Huangshan thought about it, the more headache he got. He walked around in front of the mountain and behind the house for a long time, but he couldn't think of any solution. Huangshan stamped his feet and thought to himself: "You are such a bastard, is it possible that I also want to serve as a soldier and get food?"
While he was thinking about it, a little brother from the village hurriedly ran up from the bottom of the mountain. , shouted: "Master of Dazhai, four guests came down from the mountain. They said they had important matters to discuss. One of them claimed that his name was Huang Hai, and he was your eldest brother."
Huangshan was stunned: " My eldest brother? That’s an honest man. Why is he here? Go, hurry up, pick up your brothers, and come with me to take your eldest brother up the mountain!"
It’s like not returning home if you are rich! Walking in brocade at night.
Chinese people have been very particular about face since ancient times, especially in front of relatives and friends. Even if they suffer some financial losses, they still have to have face. Therefore, once Chinese people become wealthy, they will never forget the return of fallen leaves to their roots. You must go back to your hometown and let your ancestors, relatives, friends and neighbors know that you are successful and prosperous. You can come and get some light from me. What if you don't return home? What I said just now is very clear. I just want to wear brocade clothes and sneak around at night. No one can see me, but it’s useless.
It’s not like Huangshan hasn’t been back since he left home for three years. After all, it’s nearby and this is his territory. But when I went back, after all, I was labeled as an unfilial descendant of smuggling salt. Although I was the leader of a village with five people and six people outside, when I got to the village, I still kept a low profile. I was afraid that some elders would give me a lesson. It would be very shameless to let the brothers in the village see it.
Huangshan was really happy to hear from his brothers that his clan brother had arrived. He knew that his clan brother had been loyal and upright since childhood. He had been often praised by his elders since he was a teenager, and he was regarded as the favorite to take over as the next generation clan leader. He was one of those people who would avoid being taught a lesson when he saw someone from a distance in the village. If a clan brother suddenly comes to his village, he must have something to ask for. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would not take the initiative to go up the mountain to take care of his unscrupulous brother.
This is my own territory, and I cannot afford to lose face in front of my tribe. So I am happy, so I ordered all the brothers in the village to put on their best clothes, clean up neatly, and accompany themselves.I went to greet my clan brother. This was to give face to my clan brother and also to gain face for myself.
Huang Hai and the other four were stopped on the mountainside by sentries. The four of them are not in a hurry. No matter what, after all, when they get to the end of the field, their clan brothers will definitely not suffer any loss. Not long after, he saw more than 30 people hurriedly coming down from the mountain. Huang Hai looked at them carefully. Although everyone was wearing homely clothes, they were still in good spirits. When these people came closer, they divided themselves on both sides and stood in two teams. Give up the village leader Huangshan.
Huang Hai stood with his hands behind his back, and was looking at the people in the village. When he saw his brother coming out, he also came forward to greet him. Huang Shan hurried a few steps forward, gave a big salute, walked on the ground, and said: "Brother, brother I didn’t know that brother was coming, so I couldn’t greet you in time. I apologize, brother!” The more than thirty brothers in the village behind also bowed their hands and saluted, shouting in unison: “Welcome, brother”
Huang Hai stepped forward quickly. He grabbed him and chuckled: "Fifteenth brother, we are all brothers, why bother? Hurry up, get up."
Then he bowed his hands to everyone and said with a smile: "Thank you, brothers.
Huang Shan stood up, held Huang Hai's arm, looked at Huang Hai carefully, and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for almost a year. Are you okay? I heard that all the people in our tribe have moved away." Now that I'm gone, where will my elder brother stay? How are the brothers in the clan?" Huang Hai shook his head and said, "Fifteenth brother, it's hard to say anything. I won't be busy with this. Let's talk about it later. Come on, come on. I've seen you. These brothers."
Huangshan followed the Yellow Sea and came to Zhou Bao and others. Zhou Bao and the others had already been sizing up Huangshan. Look at this Huangshan, with sword-like eyebrows and tiger eyes, a square mouth and a straight nose, fair complexion, and a short soap suit, tied tightly with a cowhide strap. Although his face is smiling, his eyes are open and closed, but he is shining brightly. The three of them clasped their fists together and said, "I have met the leader of the village!"
Huangshan chuckled and returned the courtesy one by one, saying: "Since we are eldest brother's brothers, we are not outsiders, come on, come on, please come on the mountain, Let's talk in the village."
Huang Shan took Huang Hai's hand, and they went up the mountain side by side. Zhou Bao and three others followed closely behind, and the rest of the brothers in the village followed closely and crowded up the mountain.
Wang Tong and Zhou Can, while going up the mountain, observed the brothers in the village. These two people had practiced group bravery for two months and had developed an occupational disease. As long as they saw a group of people, they would fight with themselves. Tuan Yong’s queue comparison. Although these people all looked fierce, they were following behind, their steps were messy, and the team was in a mess. In my heart, I looked down upon the training of this team. He thought secretly: "It's a pity. If this group of people can train in our hands for two months, they will definitely be a good team player."
When they arrived at the mountain, Huangshan first distributed the brothers in the village and quietly ordered them to prepare wine and meat. There will be a banquet to entertain clan brothers and distinguished guests. I accompanied my eldest brother and waited for the visitor, and went to the hall to talk.
It is said to be a hall, but it is just a slightly larger hut. If you squeeze it in, it can hold forty or fifty people. When they arrived at the hall, Huang Hai first introduced Zhou Bao, Wang Tong, and Zhou Can, and after being polite to each other, the guests and hosts took their seats.
Does Huangshan care about the safety of its people?When he asked about the move, Huang Hai had to explain in detail the time when he moved his village, what troubles there were on the road, who was killed, who died of illness, who is still alive, how to resettle the valley, and what the current situation is. .
When Huangshan listened, he felt helpless, angry, sad, and relieved. After Huang Hai finished speaking, he found out that all the remaining members of his family were settled in the villa, and the young and old had no worries about food and clothing. I was already filled with emotion. I couldn't sit still at that time and kowtowed to the ground with a big gift to the three of them: "Everyone has great righteousness, Huangshan is grateful. But as long as there is a destiny, Huangshan will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"
Zhou Baosan The man hurriedly stepped forward to pull up Huangshan, and said with a smile: "The village master is polite, it is our duty to rescue people in distress, the village master does not need to worry about it. Besides, the elder brother Huang Hai is also the training leader of our mountain village, everyone is like a brother, even more "You shouldn't be seen outside."
Huang Shan said with a smile; "That's very good. Then please let the three of you follow me and call me fifteenth brother."
Huang Hai said: "That's right. Yes, that's right, that's why we don't see anyone outside!"
Zhou Bao and the other three are also informal people, and they felt awkward and unhappy when they gave in to each other just now. He said, without refusing, he agreed immediately.
A few people sat down and Huang Hai started talking. After hearing this, Huang Shan laughed and said: "It's wrong for me not to come. Brother, there is nothing else here but salt. Is it possible that we have a salt shop here and let the brothers eat plain food? How can we deliver this? "It's a bit troublesome."
We can slowly think about how to transport it. I wonder how much salt is available here,"
Huang Shan said: " Brother Zhou, to tell you the truth, although I suffered a lot in the past two months, not only all the savings in the village were wiped out, but even my brothers only had 30% left, but this, my salt There are more than forty stones of goods, which is enough for our villa for a year." Zhou Baodao said: "Forty stones of goods are enough, but these forty stones of salt goods are not enough. Our villa has no other income except farming. Do you think it’s feasible, Fifteenth Brother, to exchange grain for salt?”
Huangshan said with a smile: “Brother Zhou, you’ve said it, brother. We are short of food. Seeing that there is no food in the village, my brother is very worried."
Zhou Can said: "Fifteenth brother, this private salt business is very profitable, why is it that the village is doing it instead? Are you going to run out of food?"
"Brother Zhou, you are right. Selling salt privately is really profitable. Originally, the salt goods from my village were sent to the three nearby counties, or to When exchanging food or collecting money, I always have a lot of money left. I usually don’t have enough food, so I just need to buy it. Now the battle is too fierce, and the people in the mountains are here. All the residents have run away. Not only is there no place to grow the salt, but they can’t find any food. My brothers are now trapped in the mountains and have nothing to do,” Huang Shan said, shaking his head.
Zhou Can’s mind was spinning the fastest and he said with a smile: “Fifteenth brother, if that’s the case, why don’t we move the brothers from the village to our villa together?Although there are not many people in that villa, the valley stretches out and dozens of families work and eat, so that’s no problem.”
Huangshan chuckled and said: “This matter is important, and we need to discuss it with the village brothers. Negotiate. "
A few people were still talking, and some brothers from the village came up and said that the wine and meat were ready, and it was time to have a banquet. Huangshan sent an order, and all the brothers gathered in the front of the hall to have a feast.
In the village, it is said to be a party, but it is nothing more than food from the mountains. Large pieces of meat are cooked and cut, filled with several pots and several jars of village wine. Everyone is from a peasant family. As long as they are happy with the meal, it is fine. That's it.
After eating and drinking, several brothers, drunk, went on stage to compete in martial arts. The winner was proud of himself, while the loser only got a few words of ridicule. But no one cared about the brothers in the village.
Zhou Bao and others were a little polite at first, but when they were halfway through eating, they let go and exchanged glasses with the brothers in Huangshan Village. , shouting and yelling.
Wang Tong couldn't help but point fingers when he saw the people competing in the field. The victor had already seen him and came forward to challenge him. Wang Tong was not polite. , jumped up, took off his shirt, and rushed into the arena.
The brother in the village had competed with his own brother, just for fun. This Wang Tong is a guest. Although he is the guest of the village owner, he cannot be rude, but after all, the village's face is at stake, and he does not want to lose easily. Seeing that Wang Tong is very agile, he does not dare to be careless, and he throws away his clothes and faces each other shirtless.
The two played fast and the sound of ping-pong could not be heard, and they met each other more than 20 times in the field.
