I don't know the years in the mountains.
Ordinary mountain people rarely deliberately remember that today is a few months and days.
But
This day is the fourth day for the villagers of Quanyong village.
The fourth day after Chu Yun and Xiao Yang Jian left.
In the deep mountains, there is no source of information. The villagers can only wait in the village with fear. I don't know which day the mountain bandits of Heihu mountain will come back to settle accounts.
But of course, not all villagers believe that Chu Yun's master and apprentice will lose. There are also very few villagers who still have a glimmer of hope.
What if?
What if the bandits in Heihu mountain are really eliminated?
Early in the morning, Quanyong village, the entrance of the village.
The old village head stood there leaning on a crutch. He was thin and slightly bent. His turbid eyes looked calmly into the distance. There was a red far sun rising in the sky.
For the mountain people in the black cloud mountains, the sun rises every day, but the dark cloud over the black cloud mountains can never be dispersed.
"Woof, woof!"
The barking of the dog came from behind the entrance of the village. The old village head slowly looked away and saw that the big yellow dog left by Chu Yun was barking with high morale.
Under its cry, two figures with shovels began to dig the earth at the foot of the rhubarb dog.
During this period, the rhubarb dog squatted and sat there. The golden hair looked brighter and brighter in the sunshine. The whole dog face was proud.
Clang——
The iron shovel shoveled into the soil. Before long, it hit a hard object, like a stone and a metal object.
Among the two figures holding the shovel, one of them was obviously excited. After pulling out the shovel, he didn't continue to dig. He lay on the ground with his brother. Next to the just dug pit, he separated the soil in the pit with his hand and touched the things shoveled by the shovel.
"It's a piece of silver! Brother, it's a piece of silver! "
Wang Ji took the heavy silver ingot and wiped away the soil tightly adhered to it with his hand. His gray face showed a very fine look.
Brother Wang Li was also excited and speechless. He took his brother Wang Ji's hand and shook it hard to express his emotions.
"Wang..."
Rhubarb sneezed, the dog's head shook, looked at Wang Ji and Wang Li with very contemptuous eyes, and then slowly came to the village head, strolled to the old village head and lay down, yawning in boredom.
After that night, Chu Yun left, but left the gold digger Rhubarb in Quanyong village to protect the safety of the old village head and deter those irregularities.
The only people who really killed the old village head and took the initiative to stand up were Wang Ji and Wang Li at the bottom of the food chain.
After Chu Yun left, the old village head didn't blame the two men. Although the two brothers had killed him, if Chu Yun hadn't stopped him, he would have been killed by the two men now.
But
The old village head still didn't blame them.
Moreover, after that day, the old village head often asked the two brothers to eat in his own house. At first, Wang Ji and Wang Li were unwilling, but they couldn't stand the strong request of the old village head. Later, when they didn't come, the old village head cooked the meals for the three people and directly mentioned them to the broken thatched house of the Wang brothers.
As soon as they came and went, the two brothers, Wang Ji and Wang Li, became the closest people to the old village head in the village.
The villagers said that the old village head had no children, so he wanted to treat the disabled brothers as his sons.
These days, rhubarb has been following the old village head, wholeheartedly obeying the master's orders and protecting the old man. In the process, it is idle and bored, so it sends out its own work and wanders around the village looking for possible treasures.
But to be honest
What treasures can there be in such a remote mountain village?
There is nothing underground except some scrap iron, but
When rhubarb scraped out some metal, Wang Ji and Wang Li brothers saw it, but they were very happy, because these things can be taken out for money. For them who lack livelihood skills, picking up garbage for money is an essential job, so they picked up the metal scraped out by rhubarb.
After rhubarb saw it, it seemed that there was really nothing to do. He commanded the Wang Ji and Wang Li brothers to dig by themselves. In a few days, although all the pieces dug out were scrap iron, it also made the Wang Ji and Wang Li brothers very happy.
And today
Rhubarb took them and dug out a twenty Liang silver ingot, which made Wang Ji and Wang Li almost speechless with excitement.
"Ah Ji, ah Li, you two come here..."
The old village head coughed twice and called softly.
"Village head."
The brothers Wang Ji and Wang Li came forward, still clutching the silver ingot in their hands, and the excitement on their faces had not faded.
"You'd better not take the money..."
The old village head looked at the silver ingot in their hands, sighed gently and said, "after all, the silver ingot was found by the spirit beast. It should be handed over to its owner. In a few days, if the great Xia Chu comes back, you will return the money to the family."
“……”
The two brothers, Wang Ji and Wang Li, lowered their heads and shook their hands with silver ingots. It was obvious that they were very tangled in their hearts.
No wonder they tangle.
For the villagers in Quanyong village, the main way to make money is hunting and planting. These hard work may not save five liang of silver for a whole year. This is still the family that earns the most. For example, Wang Ji and Wang Li can earn two liang of silver a year, even if God bless them.
And now
This silver ingot weighs as much as twenty Liang.
A small silver ingot is worth ten years of hard work.
"... village head, we listen to you."
After hesitating for a long time, Wang Ji and his brother looked at each other, then walked forward, handed the silver ingot in the palm of his hand to the old village head sitting on the stone at the entrance of the village, and said, "it's not ours, no more."
"Alas."
Hearing these words, the old village head couldn't help sighing.
In his opinion, the two brothers Wang Ji and Wang Li are very kind in nature, but because of the torture of those mountain bandits, they have the obsession of daring to kill others
What a sin.
He took the silver ingot, took Wang Ji's and Wang Li's hands, put them on the palm of his hand, and said, "my old bone doesn't live for a few days. After I leave, you can move to my yard. If you manage the two cows and a few acres of land properly, you can have a good run."
This is already an account of the future. It is clear that we should give all our inheritance to the two brothers Wang Ji and Wang Li.
When they heard the speech, they were moved. Their nose was sour and their eyes were red.
"Village head, we are wrong..."
Wang Ji cried bitterly and said, "how could I move such a mind with my brother... We are not human!"
The old village head's eyes turned red, shook his head, held their hands and said, "I don't blame you, I don't blame you. If you weren't forced, you wouldn't be like that. I said, I didn't blame you. If you want to blame, you can only blame the damn world and those damn mountain bandits..."
"You're right."
At this time, a clear voice came from one side.
The old village head and the three people still had no reaction. Rhubarb, who was lazily basking in the sun, was an exciting spirit standing up, shaking his tail vigorously, excitedly ran to the speaker, jumped three feet high, jumped directly into Chu Yun's arms, opened his mouth and licked.
"All right, all right..."
Chu Yun couldn't resist the excessive intimacy. After rubbing the dog's head twice, he threw rhubarb to Xiao Yang Jian. Then he came to the entrance of the village with a smile.
"Old man, meet again."
Chu Yun smiled faintly.
"Great Xia Chu..."
The old village head was shocked. Looking at Chu Yun, his eyes were full of disbelief and surprise, and said, "you... Have you..."
At first, when Chu Yun left, he said he would wipe out the black tiger mountain in seven days.
Now, it's only the fourth day.
But
Chu Yun returned to Quanyong village alive four days after his departure, which is enough to explain some problems. Only then did the old village head get excited and find it difficult to control himself. The crazy idea emerged in his heart, but he always hoped that it could become a reality.
Facing the excited eyes of the old village head, Chu Yun smiled, nodded and said, "I've just come down from the black tiger mountain. Now there's no place for the black tiger mountain in the black cloud mountain. I killed six of the nine masters myself. The big master yunzhonglong and the military division have been given the head. Next, Jinxia city will send officers and soldiers to carry out the final sweeping and clearance, In the future, there will be no banditry in heiyun mountain. "
“……”
The voice fell, and the old village head's body trembled. He wanted to hear the answer in his mind. When he really heard the answer in his ears, an unreal feeling appeared in his heart.
For a time, I didn't know whether it was true or whether I was dreaming. After screwing my thigh hard, I realized that it was true.
Then, I couldn't help crying. In an instant, old tears were everywhere.
He didn't doubt whether what Chu Yun said was true or false, because Chu Yun had no need to deceive him.
"Black tiger mountain... Destroyed..."
The old village head's lips trembled, his fingers trembled, and his whole body trembled.
After hearing the news, the brothers Wang Ji and Wang Li also widened their eyes, trembled and sat on the ground.
The huge emotional impact made them suddenly do not know what response to make. The whole person was at a loss and numb, and some could not tell whether it was true or false.
When they came back, the surrounding was covered by the roaring voices of the crowd. It turned out that the villagers standing near the entrance of the village also heard the news and soon sang loudly to the point that the whole Quanyong village was well known.
The villagers came out from every household, and everyone's emotions were expressed excitedly. Following the roaring voice, they gathered at the entrance of the village.
Chu Yun and Xiao Yang Jian have quietly disappeared without anyone noticing. Together with the Nuggets spirit beast rhubarb, they also left together.
The reason why I came back to Quanyong village was not only to pick up rhubarb, but also to send a quasi letter to the old village head who dug his own grave.
He has been waiting for this news for too long, so Chu Yun decided to convey the news at the first time. In the whole Quanyong village and even the whole heiyun mountains, the only person worthy of Chu Yun's serious treatment is the old village head.
After all
Whether a person deserves respect depends not on his wealth, status and strength, but on what he has done.
Although the old village head of Quanyong village is just a mortal and has no power to bind chickens, he would rather dig his own grave in order to protect the villagers.
This is an act worthy of respect.
……
"Disciple, how do you feel?"
On the mountain road, the master and apprentice slipped the rhubarb dog and walked slowly towards Jinxia city. Chu Yun saw that Xiao Yang Jian's expression was not calm, so he smiled and asked.
"Master, I feel that what we do is meaningful."
Xiao Yang Jian said in a deep voice, "originally, the purpose of this trip to suppress bandits was to avenge my father and eldest brother. However, from the moment I saw the villagers in Quanyong village, I realized that the thing you took me to do, master, has other meanings besides avenging myself.
Even, this meaning is no less important than the Revenge of the Yang family. They are equally important. Fortunately... We finally succeeded. "
Chu Yun nodded and touched Xiao Yang Jian's hair with satisfaction. He said, "it's a very precious and necessary ability to think from the perspective of others. You can master this ability at this small age. It's very gratifying to be a teacher."
Then Chu Yun smiled, stretched out his hand, took out a martial art, sent it to Xiao Yang Jian and said, "take this skill."
"This is..."
Xiao Yang Jian took a look and saw a few big characters written on the cover of the book——
God thunder wind breaking gun.
"This is a local martial art, and it is also one of the few martial arts in the master's hands. Now you have crossed the threshold of critical territory and can practice martial arts. This is just right. No matter how high it is, you can't learn it now."
Chu Yun smiled and said, "if you can master this divine thunder wind breaking gun to a great degree, you won't have to rely on skills to win against thousands of martial artists in the stone territory. You can crush them by strength alone. In addition, as a teacher, I have another skill to teach you. "
Seeing Chu Yun's look become very serious, Xiao Yang Jian couldn't help looking straight and said, "master, what skill is it?"
"The best skill in the world!"
Chu Yun said in a deep voice with an incomparably determined tone.
