After walking for several days, they arrived at a place called heiliu town.
Those who escape have no money to stay in the inn. I bought food in the town and went on my way.
Xu Bo also bought two Jin of fine grains and two Jin of beans. These things are precious now!
After a short walk, I came to a small village with only a few families. It's also their good luck. When they came across the village, they took a boar of forty or fifty Jin to sell in the town.
Gu Li, the leader of the group, saw it, ran to ask the butcher, and then came back to ask everyone, "buy this wild boar and eat it together. What do you think?"
It is much cheaper to buy meat from this villager than from the butcher.
Hearing that this boar only costs five Liang silver, we thought it was a good deal. The main reason is that on the way, we all ate dry food and wild vegetables. We didn't have any oil and water, and we were all greedy for meat.
The pig selling villager is also warm-hearted. He lent his big pot to everyone. The villagers' mother-in-law even sent some spices.
But Gu Li refused the woman's kindness, but put salt in the meat.
People who can live to the present, how can they not even have the heart to take precautions. It's OK to wash the big pot, but I don't know the seasoning.
Hearing the smell of the meat, Yan Wushuang felt that the villagers were warm-hearted.
Xu Bo looked at him and said, "don't you think he's overzealous?" Now that the price of grain has increased, meat is naturally more expensive. How can a boar like this get ten liang of silver. How could there be such a warm-hearted person in this world now that he sells wild boars cheaply and borrows pot and sends seasonings.
Yan Wushuang thinks Xu Bo is too suspicious.
"You have to be careful when you go out," Xu said. Otherwise, you will lose your life if you are not careful. "
Forty or fifty catties of wild boar are clean and there are more than thirty catties of meat left. Their group includes 29 children, half of whom are young. It's OK to kill two Jin of meat by one person in this old age, so the meat is cooked all at once.
The meat divider is Gu Li's daughter-in-law. When she ladles meat, she also looks at people. The people in front are all full of one tablespoon. When it's Yan's turn, it's only half a spoon.
Yan Wushuang is a timid and cowardly young man outside, and he is mute. Even if the flesh is less than others, the woman firmly believes that he dare not resist. Sure enough, Yan Wushuang saw that there was so little meat. He only looked up at her, and then walked away silently with the tin.
Xu Bo took the tin to the three members of the Hongsan family and said, "my child said he would pour the meat out. It's a pity that he did. Let's eat it for you!"
"What's the matter?" Hong San asked
"Uncle Xu sighed and said," Gu Li's beating meat is unfair. He was angry and said he would rather throw it out than eat it. "
Hong San wants to refuse, but he doesn't expect his daughter-in-law to ask him first: "how is the money then?" They don't have much money on hand, though they are almost home. But it's very likely that we've been robbed all over the house, so we'll have to deal with everything again. And that's all about money. Therefore, now a share of silver can't be split into two parts to spend.
Hong San was embarrassed to hear that, but he didn't scold his wife. After all, wife is also for this family.
The people who practise martial arts are very sensitive in hearing, which naturally falls into Yan's unparalleled ear. These days, he and Xu Bo take good care of the Hongsan family. Unexpectedly, the family even had two bowls of meat money to contend with them.
"Xu Bo is very straightforward to say:" this money is naturally our out
Gu Li's daughter-in-law took the meat and said with a smile, "thank you, brother Xu." Finish saying, still let oneself daughter also thank.
"Thank you Uncle Xu," CICI said sweetly
Xu Bo knew that Gu Li's daughter-in-law was a shrewd one, and said with a smile, "it's just two bowls of meat. It's not worth it."
After eating the meat, the pot was washed clean and the party went back to the side of the road. Gu Li arranged for four people to watch the night, and then went back to sleep after a fight.
The people who watch the night are very alert, but today these four watchmen are very happy.
Yan Wushuang looks at the four people and knows that Xu Bo is right. There is something wrong with the meat. Yan Wushuang leaned on Xu Bo. In fact, he asked in the voice of only two people: "Xu Bo, what do they do?" It's said that Gu Li and they are very careful. They are useless except for this pot.
"I think so."
Thinking back and forth, Yan Wushuang said: "if we say to do things, there is only water. But this water is the well water in the village. Can the villagers not know how to put medicine in the water? "
Xu Bo said: "you didn't find that there were only five families in this village. These five families, if not accomplices, are accomplices in all likelihood. "
After half an hour, everyone else fell asleep except Yan Wushuang and Xu Bo, including four night watchers.
Yan Wushuang looks at the person falling asleep on the side of the road and asks: "Xu Bo, what can I do now?"
"Whatever they are, we go our own way."
Yan matchless but did not agree: "if we leave, what do they do?" If they go, these people may die.
"You want to save them? But have you ever thought that once we save them, they will be exposed. Expose your whereabouts and you will be in danger. "
"I know, but I can't watch them die," Yan said
With that, Yan Wushuang looked at Xu Bo and said, "Xu Bo, even if you stop me, I will save them."
Xu sighed, but no longer objected: "if you want to save, save!" It's only three days' ride to Chuncheng. I'm not afraid to find Tang Xingping in Chuncheng.
Half an hour later, seven people came this way. In the night light, Yan Wushuang saw the men with swords and spears, and the two women with cloth bags.
Seven people killed six, leaving the man who sold them pork. "What do you want to do?" Yan Wushuang asked
When Xu Bo was there, the man couldn't bear it at all: "seeing that you have bought a lot of things in the town, and that your group of people are not bad in appearance and dress, you know that you must have a lot of money on hand."
Xu Bo asked, "and then? Are you going to kill all these people? "
The man said, "men kill, women and children sell." Unless it's ugly, how can it sell for a few dollars.
Yan Wushuang understands that these are not villagers at all, but bandits.
After killing all these people, they threw them into a big pit and covered them with branches. Then, turn back to town. As for whether Gu Li's party will encounter danger, they will not care.
The next day, a group of people got up and found the one with heavy head. If you think about yesterday again, you will know something is wrong. But after checking, we found that there was no shortage of property except Xu Yan and his son. But at this time, no one asked where they were going, and everyone packed up and left in a hurry.
The body in the pit was found by passers-by that afternoon. Xiang Hongda happened to hear about it in the town. He felt that there was something strange about it, so he rushed to the village to examine the body.
