Zhang Fu drove his mule cart close to Butcher Zhang, shouted "Dad" and pulled the reins to stop.

Butcher Zhang lowered his face and waved his hand seriously to Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu stopped talking and drove his car to follow the team forward.

Butcher Zhang's wife poked her head out of the car window and looked at Butcher Zhang with red eyes. She didn't retract into the car until the figure disappeared from sight.

Butcher Zhang looked calmly on his face as he watched his family and the group of six other people walking further and further away, but his heart was in turmoil.

He really didn't want to face the person in front of him. When he saw him, those past events that had been buried for many years would come to mind, making him unbearable to look back, making him filled with grief and anger.

But the world is full of tricks, and even if he racks his brains to avoid it, it will still be in vain.

Shanzi left Butcher Zhang behind just to clarify the doubts he had had in his heart for so many years. If it was true as rumored, he would never let this two-faced wolf go by today.

Shanzi and Zhang Tuhu both worked as bandits in a village called Xiyangshan. Shanzi was also a small leader of Xiyangshan. When Xiyangshan was besieged by officers and soldiers, Shanzi happened to go down the mountain to visit an acquaintance.

Dodged a bullet.

Afterwards, he also searched for his surviving companions in Xiyang Mountain, but could not find any.

He also inquired from various sources about the real reason why Shanzhai was besieged and suppressed, and he heard various different versions. The most widely circulated one is:

Brother Zhang fell in love with a stunning woman acquired from Dongyang Mountain, so he aroused his eldest brother and led his men to snatch her from Dongyang Mountain.

Second Brother Zhang used officers and soldiers to escape from a golden cicada outside a town called Hope, and took the stunning woman away to fly away happily.

Even his eldest brother was plotted by him. Together with several other brothers on the mountain, he was killed by officers and soldiers outside Hope Town.

The officers and soldiers didn't know what was going on. In order to rescue the stunning woman, they went to attack Xiyang Mountain. Of course, they found nothing, so they massacred all the people in the village, set fire to the village and burned it to the ground.

Shanzi didn't know whether the news was true or not, so he was half-convinced by this statement. Based on his understanding of the Zhang family brothers, such a thing should not happen. The second brother Zhang is the kind of person who would rather die than harm his eldest brother.

.

But from then on, Shanzi tried his best, but never saw Brother Zhang again.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, I would see him here again.

The second brother Zhang is living in such poverty now, and he doesn't look like a man who lives happily with a beautiful woman. If he had planned it a long time ago, even relying on the Zhang family's savings in the mountains for so many years, he wouldn't be living like this.

After meeting Brother Zhang’s wife, this question became even stronger.

Brother Zhang thought he hadn't noticed that the woman sticking her head out of the car was Brother Zhang's wife.

Although Brother Zhang's daughter-in-law is very beautiful, she is not that stunning woman. Shan Zi has seen that stunning woman and was deeply impressed by her.

Now Shanzi has to examine this second brother carefully. If he dares to say something to fool him, Shanzi's big sword is not a vegetarian.

Seeing that the group of six families had gone far away, Shanzi took Butcher Zhang to go to the village. After Butcher Zhang refused because he had to go on a journey, the two of them sat on a rock in the forest.

In fact, Butcher Zhang had recognized Shanzi a long time ago and saw that Shanzi was going to take action against the six families. No matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to come forward.

Just face it again and never mention it again.

Butcher Zhang was hit by a flood when he was twelve years old. He and his brother were unable to find odd jobs for a long time. Every family in the village was also in dire straits. There was no spare capacity to help them, so the two of them ran out of food.

After not getting any food for several days, Brother Zhang took Butcher Zhang to the town to beg for food.

They didn't get much food in the town, but they heard a piece of news: being a bandit can give you enough to eat.

Brother Zhang decided to go up the mountain to give the two brothers a chance to survive.

After all, the two brothers still had a sense of right and wrong in their hearts. Brother Zhang tried his best to inquire and found out that the bandits only robbed the rich and gave to the poor, but did not harm the poor people. Then he made up his mind and took Butcher Zhang up the mountain.

I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, but as soon as Butcher Zhang and his two brothers went up the mountain, they were noticed by the mountain leader and stayed.

The hilltop where Butcher Zhang and his two brothers took refuge was called Xiyang Mountain. It is true that the bandits in Xiyang Mountain only engaged in robbing wealthy businessmen who passed by and never harassed the poor people.

The two brothers settled down on the mountain and stayed there for eight or nine years.

In the past few years, the two brothers learned some boxing and kicking from a leader with martial arts skills in the mountains. Because of his outstanding martial arts skills and his courage to fight hard, the elder brother gradually became one of the top little bosses in the mountains.

Although they became bandits, their consciences made the two brothers always know that the path they took was wrong. However, Xiyang Mountain not only robbed the rich but also helped the poor, which made them constantly paralyze themselves: this path did not seem to be wrong.

Too outrageous.

The two brothers were often trapped in such contradictory emotions and found it difficult to extricate themselves.

One time, Brother Zhang led his men to rob a caravan, and a beautiful woman went with the caravan. As usual, Brother Zhang and the others only left the money and left the woman untouched. They released all the people, carriages and horses.

gone.

Unexpectedly, before the caravan had gone very far, it was robbed by people from another village, and the stunning woman was also robbed up the mountain, on the boundary of Xiyang Mountain.

The village that kidnapped the people was called Dongyang Mountain. It was next to Xiyang Mountain. The two villages had their own territory and never crossed the border, so they had lived in peace for so many years.

This time, Dongyangshan crossed the line and violated the established rule of "no robbery". What's even more annoying is that he also robbed someone.

Although there is no rule in Dongyang Mountain about robbing the rich and giving to the poor, they usually only rob wealth but not sex.

Of course Xiyangshan would not tolerate being bullied to death by Dongyang Mountain, so the head of the family even sent Butcher Zhang's eldest brother to deal with it.

Brother Zhang led a sneak attack on Dongyang Mountain and successfully snatched the stunning woman back to Xiyang Mountain.

Under the direction of the head master, Brother Zhang led a few more people to escort the woman and her entourage on the road.

Brother Zhang and the others sent the people to the outskirts of Hope Town and were about to return to Xiyang Mountain.

It will be safe once you enter Hope Town. People from Dongyang Mountain will never dare to rob people in the town. Once you pass Hope Town, it is no longer the territory of Xiyang Mountain and Dongyang Mountain.

Brother Zhang and the others said goodbye to the woman, and when they were about to leave in high spirits, they found that they were surrounded by officers and soldiers and that they had been ambushed.

They were ambushed not only by officers and soldiers, but also by people from Dongyang Mountain. Zhang Butcher saw with his own eyes that the second-in-command of Dongyang Mountain appeared among the ranks of officers and soldiers.

After a fierce battle, the people in Xiyang Mountain were outnumbered and fell one after another. Brother Zhang was also seriously injured. At the critical moment, he desperately protected Zhang Butcher and the stunning woman from the ambush.

Butcher Zhang escaped alive with the woman and her entourage, but Brother Zhang never came back.
