Raising the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 74: On Donglai Peak
At Donglai Peak, the leader of the village, Song Shu, was wearing a coat and pacing in his meeting hall. Half an hour ago, his subordinates came to report that Xiaolou Peak had been conquered by Xique Peak, and all Yuling Villages were dead. The leader of the village Shen Yulou fell off a cliff, and his life and death are unknown.
The original name of the leader of the Song Dynasty was Song Shu. He was originally a good citizen, but unfortunately his family fell into decline. Song Shu studied hard in a cold window, originally thinking of going to Beijing to take the exam and revive his family business.
It coincided with the civil strife in Zhao and the war between Qi and Jin. When passing through Lingzhou with a caravan that was taking advantage of the war to resell goods, Shi Biao, the then owner of Donglai Fenghan Village, plundered them up the mountain with his people and goods.
The leader of Hanshan Village, Shi Biao, didn't want to kill anyone. He just wanted to leave their belongings and let everyone go down the mountain. However, he saw that one of the people in the group was wearing a long gown, which was incompatible with the attire of everyone in the caravan.
When I called him and asked for details, I found out that he was a scholar who was about to take the exam. There were all rough guys in Shi Biao's Hanshan village. When I heard that he was a scholar, all the heroes in the village were rough men. When they heard that they had robbed a scholar, they came forward one after another. Come and watch.
Shi Biao was so talented that there were a group of rough guys in the stronghold, and there were only a handful of literate people, so he spoke to Song Shu, saying that the world was now in chaos and war, and the people were in dire straits. Although he was a thief, he only robbed the property of unscrupulous merchants and never harmed anyone. I only hope that in the future, everyone in Hanshan Village can come down from the mountain and do good deeds.
The leader of Shi Village earnestly persuaded Song Shu that it would be better to stay in the village and wait until the world is peaceful in the future before going down the mountain.
At first, Song Shu didn't want to leave the army alone, but after thinking about it carefully, now, outside Hanshan Village, the world is in chaos and wars are endless. Where can he go as a scholar? After some thought, Song Shu agreed to stay at Donglai Peak. superior.
Shi Shi, Shi Biao's only daughter, grew up in the green forest. She followed a group of heroes to dance with guns and sticks. She was used to seeing rough guys in the mountains. Suddenly, a handsome scholar appeared in the village, and she couldn't help but talk to this little scholar of similar age. A few sentences.
Over and over again, this daughter of the green forest and the down-and-out scholar developed feelings for each other. During the days when Shi Biao got along with Song Shu, he felt that the scholar had a good character, so he married his daughter.
After Qi Yun established the country, the scholar Song Shu did not go down the mountain again, but An Xin worked with Shi Shi in the Donglai Peak to assist Shi Biao in running the Hanshan Village.
The next year, Shi Biao suddenly fell ill. When he was dying, he called his son-in-law Song Shu to his bedside, entrusted his daughter to Hanshanzhai and passed away.
With Shi Shi's support, everyone in Hanshan Village had no objection to Song Shu becoming the master of the village, so the down-and-out scholar suddenly became a hero in the green forest of Lingzhou.
Over the years, Song Shu has been thinking of the old village master for saving his life and taking him in. He has also been in love with Shi Shi for many years. The couple worked together to keep the village in order, strictly abiding by the rules left by the old village master, robbing the rich and giving to the poor. , no harm to human life.
Since Shen Yulou came to Lingzhou, conquered Xiaolou Peak and founded Yuling Village. He invited various villages in Lingzhou and established the rules of Lingzhou Green Forest. Song Shu and his wife also admired Shen Yulou as a person, so they brought Everyone in Hanshan Village took the lead in supporting Shen Yulou. They thought that from now on, Lingzhou Green Forest would be able to do good, which could be regarded as fulfilling the wish of the old village owner.
Unexpectedly, this peaceful day passed not long ago. Today, I heard that the Hutou Village and the Hubao attacked Yuling Village at night. Song Shu was still sleepy, so he walked around in the meeting hall with his clothes on and thought deeply.
Song Shu was also a little puzzled. Although Hu Bao was good at martial arts, Shen Yulou was a master who had just begun to see the world. How could he wipe out the village overnight?
"What's the matter, head of the house? Just now I saw Xiao Huang running over in a panic. Something important happened." Since Shi Shi married Song Shu, she has been working as his virtuous wife with peace of mind, even if her father will The cottage was left to him, a scholar who didn't understand martial arts, and Shi Shi silently supported her husband without any complaints.
Although the two have not had a son and a half for many years, it does not affect the relationship between the couple at all. Late at night, I saw my husband was called by Xiao Huang, and he hurriedly left after saying a few words to him outside the house.
The husband entered the house with a solemn expression, not wanting him to worry about her anymore. Shi Shi pretended to be asleep, felt her husband cover her with a quilt, closed the door and left.
Shi Shi put on her clothes and followed her husband's steps to the meeting hall. Seeing her husband's sad face, Shi Shi opened the door of the meeting hall and said softly to the pacing husband: "Shu Lang, what are you saying? What happened?"
"Yuling Village is gone." After a moment of silence, Song Shu said.
"What? How is it possible, where is Brother Shen?"
"Hutou Village destroyed Yuling Village overnight. No one survived at Xiaolou Peak. Brother Shen fell off the cliff and his life or death is unknown." Song Shu continued.
Shi Shi said in surprise: "Brother Shen is still a newcomer to the realm. Xiaoloufeng has also recruited many martial arts masters these days. With Hu Bao's martial arts, I can conquer Hutou Village by myself alone. They, let alone those idiots, can destroy Yuling Village."
"I asked Xiao Huang to go find some familiar men in Hutou Village and inquire about it. In recent days, Hutou Village has recruited a group of masters from unknown sources. All of them are very skilled, at least at the beginning. Take a peek at He Dengtang." Song Shu said with worry.
"Since these people are such masters, how can they be willing to be under that Hu Bao?" Shi Shi said.
Song Shu's eyes became more worried: "What Madam said is exactly what I am worried about. Although the Three Peaks and Eighteen Villages in Lingzhou are a land of green forests, they are also a good place to hide. Whether these people are in the martial arts realm or at night The schemes used to attack Yuling Village are beyond my level."
Sighing, Song Shu continued: "If Yuling Village is still there, we can still resist this group of people together with them, but now our lips are dead and our teeth are cold. If my prediction is correct, they will attack us after tomorrow. "
Shi Shi knew that her husband was a scholar. When his father passed away, he often made suggestions for the village. Every step he foresaw proved to be correct. It was precisely because of this that his father left the village in his hands. When she heard her husband say this, Shi Shi felt a little panicked.
I have been in the village since I was born, and this village is my home. Now I heard my husband’s analysis, and the group of people may want to attack the village. They hurriedly asked my husband: "Shu Lang, what should we do? This village is My father’s life-long effort, husband, we must try our best to protect everyone.”
Song Shu didn't want to keep Hanshan Village, but now judging from Xiao Huang's report, his wife and several leaders in the village could not stop that group of people. There are only two ways to go about it now.
"Madam, what I have been thinking about just now is how our Hanshan village can resolve this disaster, but no matter how hard I think, we only have two options."
"Which two ways?" Shi Shi asked, knowing that what her husband was talking about was the best choice he could think of.
"The first way, if we want to save the village and everyone's lives, is to take the initiative to surrender Hutou Village. However, this strategy can only exchange for temporary peace. In the future, after those people use Hutou Village, we will still be in trouble.
.”
"What about the second way?"
"This second way." Song Shu's eyes showed a hint of determination. The old village leader entrusted the lives of his daughter and all his brothers to his own hands before he died, and he would save everyone's lives even if he died.
"The second way is for our husband and wife to take our brothers and leave Donglai Peak, leave Hanshan Village, and give this empty village to Hu Bao's group."
"No, this village is my father's hard work, and it must not be given away to others."
Although Shi Shi was gentle to her husband, she was the daughter of a green forest leader who grew up in a village. Back then, she had a fiery temperament and strong martial arts skills. Now that her husband wanted to give up the village her father had built, she immediately refused.
Seeing his wife's fierce reaction, Song Shu understood his wife's feelings towards Han Shanzhai after having been married for many years. However, if he hesitated now, he would not only lose the village, but he might also lose the lives of these brothers.
Song Shu saw his wife alone in front of the window, looking out the window, her shoulders hunched, as if she was crying. He walked forward, gently caressed his wife's back, and said: "Madam, I know your feelings for Hanshanzhai.
Come on, this is your home.”
"But Shanzhai is dead, and people are alive. If we don't make a decision, and when those people attack Donglai Peak like they did with Shen Yulou, by then, we will lose not only Hanshanzhai, but also
The lives of these brothers who have followed the old village leader for many years."
"Husband, I know you only want the cottage to be good, but after all, this place is my father's hard work for many years." Shi Shi wiped away her tears and blurted out the impulsive words just now. Now that she thought about it carefully, she knew the second way her husband had mentioned.
, it is also the best choice for Hanshan Village at the moment.
No longer stubborn, Shi Shi also followed the old village master's temper and acted decisively. Now that he had confirmed his husband's choice in his heart, he continued to speak: "My husband is right, the village is dead, and people are alive. You can't do it for
Dead things, sacrificing the lives of brothers, according to my husband, when will we set off and where will we go?"
Song Shu knew that his wife was willing to give up Hanshan Village, so he naturally made great determination and trust in himself. He immediately took his wife's hand and looked out the window.
A wisp of moonlight had quietly climbed up into the sky, and the surrounding dark clouds made way for the moonlight. The moonlight passed through the window of the meeting hall and shone on the faces of the couple. Song Shu paid attention and said: "We can't wait. Let's set off immediately.
Everyone, take your luggage and some luggage with you. It’s okay if you don’t need it. Let’s go south to Liangzhou.”
——
Liangzhou City, Yuelai Tower.
Since Gu Xiao and Chi Tianya agreed to go to Lingzhou together, without waiting for Gu Xiao and others to refuse, Chi Tianya had people move all the belongings that Gu Xiao and others left in the inn to Yuelai Building.
In the past few days of getting along, Lao Li and Xue Hu had already distinguished themselves on the issue of drinking, which ended with Xue Hu's resignation.
Lin'er kept pestering Uncle Kui every day, and Aunt Kui told her some stories about rivers and lakes. Even when Uncle Kui and Aunt Kui went to sell vegetables, Lin'er followed him and shouted. With such a smart and charming person, Lin'er kept pestering her.
With the help of the beautiful girl, the business of the vegetable stall that was originally just a hidden identity turned out to be surprisingly good. All the young men from the big families in Liangzhou City knew that they were here to 'sell vegetables and beauty', even if they wanted to hide it.
The identity of Uncle Kui and Aunt Kui was dumbfounded.
Now that he has decided to go to Lingzhou, Chi Tianya has met more often with Guisumei. The relationship between the two has made Gu Xiao, Lin'er and others see clearly. Even Texue sees Chi every day.
People from all over the world want to step forward and teach this man who does not understand the style a lesson.
Speaking of Tuxue, I have been living in Yuelai Building for a while now, and my daily food intake makes this fat ferret seem to have gained some weight.
Since he was going to Lingzhou, Gu Xiao also ordered Uncle Li to go back to the mountain to send back this holiday gift, and also to report to the master about his situation at the bottom of the mountain, so that the master could rest assured.
Uncle Li flatly refused. He had seen the skills of people like Chi Tianya. Even Chi Tianya was quite afraid of people. How could Uncle Li rest assured that the young master would go alone. He knew the young master's thoughts and was worried about his old wounds.
Before he recovers, if Lingzhou is executed and someone takes action, he may be afraid that his old injury will relapse.
After several days of entanglement, Lao Li really couldn't compete with the sharp-tongued young master Gu Xiao, so he had no choice but to follow Gu Xiao's instructions and go back to the mountain to report to Gu Jianyi.
However, Lao Li also made an agreement with Gu Xiao in his heart that after returning to the mountain to report the matter, he could go to Lingzhou to meet up with the young master. Gu Xiao asked Lao Li for help. If the meeting happened, he would bring the Broken Moon Sword Box with him.
When he started to use his hands, he also had a handy weapon.
