***************************

When the Qingming Festival is over, even if summer really comes.

Thanks to the old father-in-law's unique herbs, the gunshot wound on Lu Dajia's face has been cured after more than ten days of treatment. A piece of flesh and blood was missing on the cheekbones on his right face, leaving a large dent scar, which instead made the rebellious bandit leader look much gentler.

However, four of the seven bandits shot failed to survive for three days, and died in pain due to excessive blood loss and complications. The funerals of these four people and the second in commander who died in battle had already been held, and a grand memorial ceremony was held on the Qingming Festival.

The second in commander was not buried immediately. The body was treated with lime and a large amount of Chinese herbal medicine, and then placed it in a thick coffin made of a century-old sequoia.

It is the season when the fields are limited on the mountain. The thirty-six bandits who have cultivated and raised up and the women and children who have increased to more than 60 people have a rare leisure time. Perhaps the sadness has passed. Beside the stream and under the big trees are full of cheerful sounds of women and children. Except for the bandits who take turns to guard the two entrances and exits in the east and northwest, everyone relaxes.

Master Lu sat at the wooden table under two large camphor trees, carefully reading the newspapers sent back from the eyeliner at the foot of the mountain, and he could find useful information from it. When he read the excitement, he would slap the table from time to time and sigh. He was very grateful for Wu Ming's useful suggestions and fully realized the great benefits of collecting information.

After finishing his work, Lu Dajun came to the big tree and looked at the old newspaper half a foot thick on the table. He didn't feel anything. He sat down and complained in a muffled voice:

"Brother Wu is such a weird guy. Ansheng, but I don't want to give him two beautiful wives. Now I don't even drink wine. I have been unable to find any figure every morning for more than half a month. He has been walking around every intersection and every mountain and refused to rest. He also has to go to the abandoned mountain village of Duan Laowu in the northwest to check it out. He wants to say a few words to him but has no chance, which makes Kuiyuan and a few half-aged children go crazy with him with guns all day long. I really don't know what he is thinking about?"

Master Lu calmly took a sip at the teapot spout, took out the folded wanted order and opened it, pointed to the blurry avatar printed on the wanted order and asked: "This wanted order is posted all over the towns and major transportation routes of Jiangxi, Anhui and Zhejiang provinces. What do you think?"

"What else can I think? Brother Wu himself doesn't care about this wanted order, and the name on the wanted order is Wu Shan Yazi, which is very different from the real person's appearance. Even if Brother Wu stands in front of the officers and soldiers, he doesn't have to worry about being recognized." Mr. Lu said carelessly.

Master Lu stretched out his two fingers and tapped the wanted order rhythmically: "Zhengde, you should use your brain more. Although this wanted order does not cause much trouble to Brother Wu, there are more things on it."

Mr. Lu put down his cigarette pillow: "Second brother, what do you see? Did Brother Wu guess that he would be wanted by the three provinces before, so he stayed here to avoid the limelight?"

"Barring! Look at his man who seems to be afraid of trouble? Don't forget the name "Lone Wolf" given to him. I have deeply understood over the years that this man's name can be wrong, but his nickname will never be wrong." Master Lu said seriously.

"That's right! Then tell me what's the point?" Lu Zhengde was rarely humble.

Master Lu knocked on the table again: "First of all, this wanted order was issued in the name of the Jiangxi Provincial Bandit Suppression Command, and also the autograph of Provincial Chairman Lu Diping. This means that the case committed by Brother Wu has shocked the whole province and has even reached the end of the sky. Otherwise, there would never be a sea arrest in the three provinces. I haven't seen it a few times in so many years! Secondly, the wanted order said that Brother Wu was the leader of the bandits of the northeastern Jiangxi bandits, and treated him in the same way as Fang Zhimin and others who have become famous for several years. Tell me, is this simple?"

Mr. Lu said this and patted the large stack of newspapers on the desktop: "Also, during this period, the newspapers in Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces were almost full of news about the suppression of bandits and communists. Last month, Chairman Jiang flew to Nanchang and personally arranged the overall situation of bandit suppression in Jiangxi. Some time ago, more than 4,000 troops from the Eastern Gangean Army entered Fujian through Fenshui Pass and attacked Chong'an. They were defeated by Liu Heding's troops of the 56th Division of the zhongyāng Army. They returned to Jiangxi and were probably going to fight back again... The newspaper said the day before yesterday that two armies from Zhejiang would enter Shangrao to assist the local area to wipe out all the red bandits. It seems that we are also on the clearance line! It can be seen that this place may not be able to stay."

Lu Zhengde was worried: "What should I do? Heiqi Village in the north and Zhanlonggang in the northeast sent people to question why we destroyed Duan Laowu. If these two families were allowed to unite to deal with us, we would not even have the ability to resist. They would have set their sights on the tens of thousands of dollars we had raised from Duan Laowu Village."

"I'm not Zhuge Liang!"

Master Lu shook his head helplessly: "I knew what to do. I tried to mention it to Brother Wu these days, wanting to ask him to come up with an idea, but he didn't want to listen. Alas! We escaped from Quzhou to this place for 15 years, and the young and old changed from a dozen people to more than 40 people now. In addition, the group of wives and children born back were almost 100. The place under our feet is not far from Yushan County. Before, the great family in the martial arts world was worried that the officers and soldiers would encircle and do not dare to occupy more places here, which made us cheaper. Now that we encounter this kind of thing, I am afraid that we will not be able to stay safe. If we run away again, where should we escape?"

The two of them thought and lamented, but they didn't think of a solution until the sun was west. Seeing Wu Ming, sweating all over, bringing his three children back, they had to ask the wife to arrange the food and fill her stomach first.

Wu Ming took off two large bowls of rice and left. He took a shower in the stream north, rubbed his clothes, and whistled leisurely.

Lu Zhengde and his master had been waiting for a long time. Master Lu's second 14-year-old daughter ran up with a blushing face, snatched the wooden basin from Wu Ming and turned around and ran away. She went to the back of the house to help Wu Ming dry clothes.

Wu Ming knew something was wrong at first glance. He walked to Lu Zhengde, sat down facing the master, picked up cigarette paper from the table, put the golden Guangfeng tobacco shredded tobacco, skillfully rolled up a trumpet, looked around and lit the matches to light the fire, took a few sips, and picked up the teacup in front of him: "Is there anything? Is it true? Is the third brother not back?"

Lu Zhengde really didn't know how to speak. Master Lu looked at Wu Ming with a frown. He moved his beard a few times, but he still couldn't speak.

Finally, Master Lu asked, "What are you and a few young people busy with during this period?"

Wu Ming answered truthfully: "I walked around a hundred miles and found that this place had no development potential. Apart from some forestry benefits, the only thing left is the Tiebankeng coal mine in the west, but the Tiebankeng coal mine has been occupied by local gentry for many years, so we cannot get involved."

Lu Zhengde opened his mouth wide: "So you are busy with this, I thought you were helping us check the terrain."

"Kuiyuan, take the newly purchased map." Wu Ming shouted unexpectedly.

Lu Kuiyuan, who had just finished taking a shower, hurriedly ran out with a roll of map and sat timidly on the side of his father.

Wu Ming pushed away the stack of old and new newspapers that Master Lu deliberately placed on the table, and opened the newly published map of Zhejiang Administrative Region and asked: "Are you homesick?"

Lu Zhengde was very surprised. The master immediately looked at Lu Kuiyuan who lowered his head, knowing that it must be this kid who told Wu Ming about all his recent hesitation and confusion.

Wu Ming smiled slightly: "Don't blame Kuiyuan. In fact, half a month ago, I saw a lot of things in newspapers and several zhèngfu announcements sent up the mountain. I was very worried about the safety of this place. I don't know how your Lu family came here from Quzhou, but I know that since you haven't returned to your hometown for so many years, it means that you can't stay in Quzhou, right?"

Master Lu nodded awkwardly: "The enemy is very powerful, we can't afford to offend him."

"Say it, say everything you should say, unless you don't believe me, I really want to help you." Wu Ming spread out the map and didn't move, smoking quietly waiting for the decision of the two of them.

Lu Zhengde finally couldn't help it: "Brother, don't be angry if you say something, it's related to the life and death of nearly a hundred people in the clan. Forgive your brother for being arrogant. Brother, why do you stay and help us?"

Wu Ming sighed: "When I stayed, I didn't think about helping you, and you didn't need anything to help me. At that time, I just wanted to rest for a while, sort out my messy mind before leaving, and felt deeply guilty about the dozens of women and children you kidnapped... Later I realized that your situation was more dangerous than I thought."

"I remember I reminded you at the beginning not to ignore the hidden dangers left by Huo and Duan Laowu. After all, the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Villages are not vegetarians in a radius of two hundred miles. There are too many black people who eat black people these days. Later I wondered whether I can help you overcome difficulties. After all, you are a group of good friends I rarely make in this world."

Apart from the sudden attack that day, I haven't heard Wu Ming say so much for a long time. Master Lu and Lu Zheng cāo were very surprised and very moved when they heard it.

Lu Kuiyuan also raised his head and looked at Wu Ming and his two elders nervously.

Wu Ming threw away the cigarette butt: "Although I feel uncomfortable with some of your actions, I can understand that after all, it is not easy to live in troubled times, let alone you grabbed me up the mountain, but in the end you took me in, valued me, and respected me, and I was very grateful.

"Actually, I am not a good person. I have always had this idea in my mind: It would be good to get along with such a real friend like you. Maybe I can save my life in the future, so I stayed. So, don't you think I'm lying, right?"

"No! I understand in my heart that this is the truth." Lu Zhengde replied convincingly. He had never met a person as honest as Wu Ming in his life.

Master Lu sighed: "Brother Wu, I admire you! Don't say anything. Today I just want you to help you out. In my heart, you have long been my relative."

"Is that true?" Wu Ming asked with a smile.

Master Lu was furious in a blink of an eye, and his pale face turned red, which scared Lu Kuiyuan to stand up quickly.

"Okay! Don't be angry, just kidding."

Wu Ming put away his smile, but his eyes were still gazing at the furious Master Lu. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone couldn't think of it: "When will I send my second boss back to the countryside for burial?"

Lu Zhengde was stunned again, Master Lu was so shocked that his eyes widened: "Can you mean..."

"Maoliangwu, in the deep mountains north of Changshan, was only plague two years ago. I am afraid that those who stayed there would have died long ago. That place is a place that is not responsible for the death. Although the hundreds of miles south is Changshan County, within a radius of hundreds of miles, most of the villages are She people living in high mountains for generations, and they are very wild!" Lu Zhengde quickly told the difficulties.

"Kuiyuan, take out the newly bought horse lantern and light it up."

After Wu Ming ordered, he leaned on the map, took a stack of newspapers next to him, and found the Quzhou Ri newspaper from half a month ago. Lu Kuiyuan just happened to bring the lit lantern over.

"Look at this newspaper, I will read a paragraph: The first special district county inspector's office order, and the provincial government orders will start to carry out population statistics according to the established plan. All counties and towns must verify the population and the number of land within one year, record it in detail, and issue a new version of the national identity certificate. There is still a large paragraph below, and I won't read it. Everyone, don't you think this is an opportunity?"

Lu Zhengde and Master Lu pondered for a moment and looked at Wu Ming together.

Wu Ming signaled Lu Kuiyuan to raise the lantern and pointed to the north of Changshan on the Zhejiang map. He explained to the two who came up to look carefully: "The place where I drew the red circle is Maoliangwu, Changshan, the hometown of the second head. Although this place belongs to Changshan, it is closer to Kaihua County to the west, only 30 kilometers, or less than 80 miles away. This road on the map was found in the Ming Dynasty. It was estimated that it could be a carriage. It is less than twenty miles from Qili Village north of Quzhou County to the east. You only need to cross Hengling to have a road. More than forty miles northeast is the waterway connecting the Xin'an River Lake. It will take less than one day to take a boat to Chun'an County. If you set up a steamer, you will probably be able to get there in half a day."

Seeing that the two of them were incredible gods, Wu Ming ignored them: "Look at the south side, walk a few miles to the foot of Dongshan, and take a boat down the Leyuan River. It is Zhaoxian Town, a thousand-year-old ancient town between Changshan and Quzhou. The waterway is unobstructed and it is probably difficult to walk on land, but it can also be used as a horse. Everyone, where are you going to find such a good place to settle down? And I dare say that no matter how chaotic the world is, you will not be able to hit it there. It is also a place that is not responsible for three, and it is also close to your hometown Quzhou. If you want to take revenge, you can plan slowly. We have dozens of people and dozens of guns, and in the dark. As long as we have a good relationship with the She people around us, who dares to mess with? More importantly, we can go to any county around and spend some money to fool a legal identity. With a legal identity, what can't we do? Are you addicted to being bandits?"

Master Lu looked at Wu Ming blankly: "How do you know so clearly?"

Wu Ming lowered his face: "Don't worry about how I know, think about my situation first. You are in danger now, and you may not be able to leave if you don't leave. Not only may a fire fight at any time, but what's even more deadly is the large-scale clearance that the zhèngfu army is about to launch. If you can grit your teeth and decisively leave this place of failure, take this opportunity to send the coffin of the second leader back for burial, and then settle down there directly, which is also a solution. As for the plague, it has long passed, and it is no big deal."
