Today is the day that the Scimitar Xiao Liusan brothers have agreed to come to the countryside to visit Ding Hao and Ding Hao's mother. The three ruffians left the city and happily walked on the country road, looking left and right along the way, but they were not bored at all.
.
They rarely go to the countryside, and they naturally feel something special when looking at the countryside. Occasionally they see people working in the fields, and they stop to watch them for a while. There are small village girls walking on the road, and they also take a look at them, and they comment on them when they come.
Face, people walked over and commented on their butt cheeks, laughing and joking, enjoying themselves.
But the May sun was already a little unbearable. Tie Niu and Da Tou pulled off their coarse clothes and tied them around their waists, revealing their dark, strong bodies as made of iron. This made them feel cooler.
From the end of the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, people were very fond of tattoos. Some people not only had tattoos all over their bodies, but also tattoos on their tongues. Affected by this trend, these three rogues were no exception. Tieniu had a one-horned rhinoceros tattooed on his chest.
The bull's eyes were wide open, as if it was about to run wildly. On the back of its big head was a tiger that had descended from the mountain. The tiger's body was lying on its shoulders, squatting forward and back, its teeth and claws showing, and the tiger's head was on the chest, as if it was about to choose someone to devour.
That time was different from modern times. Nowadays, tattoos are like hanging the sign of a gangster on the body. Good people should keep away from them. At that time, it was very fashionable for ordinary people to have tattoos. When a village girl passed by, she was not only not afraid, but also had a pair of eyes.
It was inevitable that he would linger a few more glances at the two of them, which made the two scoundrels puff out their chests and shy bellies, feeling very proud of themselves.
Scimitar Xiaoliu was in a miserable situation. He originally thought that he was going to see his elder brother and his wife today, so he had to dress decently, so he got a piece of clothing that he had obtained from others before he had time to sell it at a reasonable price.
Putting on the prince's robe.
Scimitar Xiaoliu's temperament made him look like a monkey when he put on the young master's robe. He was neither fish nor fowl, but he naturally felt very good. He was not willing to strip his back like the two scoundrels beside him, so he was covered in sweat while walking, so he had to open the
An arty fan provides shade over the head.
Seeing that Lijiazhuang was just ahead, Scimitar Xiaoliu groaned feebly: "The red sun is scorching like fire..."
Even though Da Tou took off his clothes, he felt it was unbearable, so he said, "It's best to have a ladle of cold water to pour it on."
Tieniu said angrily: "When it gets hot, I go to rest under a tree and recite some kind of bird poem."
Scimitar Xiaoliu shrugged and said, "You are uneducated, do you envy us?"
"Bah! You have the knowledge of a bird..."
The two were bickering, and the big head walked past a field of crops in front of him and shouted happily: "There is a river in front of you. How about going to drink some water and wash yourself to cool off before going to find your big brother?"
Xiaoliu and Tieniu immediately ran over after hearing this. When they saw a big river in front of them, with its mighty water and rolling white waves, they were delighted. Xiaoliu said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was a river? Let's go...
Hey! Those people came here happily, what treasure did they pick up?"
The three ruffians were really lively, so they hurried up to meet them. They saw many men, women, and children walking out of the village. Four big men in front of them were carrying a pig cage. The three of them looked inside the pig cage and saw that it turned out to be something beautiful and beautiful.
The little lady looks to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is wearing a rough moon-white linen shirt and skirt. Her body is a little dirty. Her dark black hair is messy, but her beautiful oval face is delicate and pretty.
Scimitar Xiaoliu had never read a book and couldn't explain how to create a good method. He just felt that the feeling of seeing this young lady was just like watching the old shopkeeper cut open the embryo in the gem shop a few days ago. When the stone body reveals a piece of beautiful green jade inside, it makes people's eyes light up and their hearts are full of joy.
Such a troublesome little lady, her slender hands were tied behind her slender waist with thick hemp ropes, and she was curled up in a pig cage. Her eyelashes were long under her scissored eyebrows. A pair of eyes were frozen, as if they had turned a blind eye to everything around them.
As soon as Scimitar Xiaoliu saw it, he stopped a big man who was approaching with great joy and asked: "What shameful thing did this little lady do?"
When the big man saw that he was from another village, it was a good time to make a name for the Li family, so he hurriedly said: "This little bitch can't bear the loneliness, cheats and raises men, and has no moral integrity. Do you think such a person should die?" Speaking of which, she is a widowed woman of the Dong family, and her mother-in-law is the girl I married in Lijiazhuang, but the men of the Dong family are dead. We, the Li family, are doing justice to God and drawing our swords for justice."
For the crime of adultery in the Song Dynasty, men were sentenced to three years of slave labor and women to two years of slave labor, which is equivalent to today's labor reform. However, although the court had relevant laws and regulations, relatively closed and backward villages were still accustomed to lynching without reporting to the official. Generally speaking, He said that although the law does not recognize this kind of behavior, it usually does not prohibit it, especially since this kind of thing is usually unanimously approved by the whole village and implemented by all. That would be a serious matter that would cost you your job or even your head, so most officials pretended to be deaf and dumb. Civil lynchings were much more cruel. The most common method was "dipping in a pig cage", and no one thought there was anything wrong with it. .
When Scimitar Xiaoliu heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said: "You are righteous, you are really righteous. Such a woman really deserves to be killed. Why is she the only one? Her thief has already been beaten to death with sticks?"
The big man said: "Her adulterer is the manager of the Ding family village. Ding Hao has also committed a crime now. The Ding family is about to punish him. It is not my Li family's turn to take care of the Ding family, so we will only punish him." This is the little whore." After saying that, she followed her hastily.
Scimitar Xiaoliu was shocked when he heard this. He quickly pulled Datou and Tieniu to the side of the road, checked their ears and said, "Did I hear you right? Did you hear clearly what he just said? This little lady is Brother Ding." The woman..."
Datou said in a naive voice: "You heard me clearly, it's our sister-in-law. Oh no, my sister-in-law is going to sink into the river. What should we do?"
Tieniu rolled up his sleeves, spat into his palms, and said angrily: "Straight bitch, you dare to harm my eldest brother's sweetheart, but you don't take our three brothers seriously. Just wait, I'll beat him up." They personally fell on their backs."
Scimitar Xiaoliu grabbed him and shouted: "Stupid Tieniu, do you only know how to use force?"
Tieniu glared and said, "Why, do you think this little lady deserves to be killed?"
Scimitar Xiaoliu took a sip and said: "Fuck you, you bastard. Look how beautiful that little lady is. She is in love with our eldest brother and is a concubine. A man loves a woman. It's a match made in heaven. It's not like these days. It's such a trivial thing for someone to molest an ordinary man. Since our brothers saw it, we have to deal with it no matter what, but no matter how hard we brothers are, if all the thieves and bastards in this village bite us, how will we escape after saving my sister-in-law?"
Da Tou said: "Xiao Liu'er, you always have many ideas. In your opinion, what should we do?"
Scimitar Xiaoliu rolled his eyes and said, "Follow me!"
When Ding Hao rushed to Lijiazhuang, he was already exhausted. Half of the people in the village had gone there. Fortunately, there were still some people who didn't follow to watch the fun. Ding Hao asked a child playing in front of his house about the situation. He was shocked out of his mind for a moment.
Run to the river immediately.
After leaving the village and not reaching the river, he saw many villagers walking toward the village, whispering to each other. Ding Hao's heart suddenly sank, and he ignored them. He yelled: "Dong'er!" He stumbled all the way.
When he arrived at the river, many people in Lijiazhuang didn't recognize him. They just stood and looked at him in surprise.
Ding Hao stumbled to the river. He saw the river slowly rolling eastward with undulating waves. There was still half a human figure on the water. His knees softened and he couldn't help but kneel down in the mud by the river. He never stopped.
Unable to get up.
The river was mighty and went away silently, as if all his souls had been shattered, drifting into the distance with the river...
"Dong'er, my Dong'er..."
Ding Hao was devastated. His mother had just died of a sudden illness, and Dong'er had left him again. This series of heavy blows had already made him crazy.
"Thank you, Brother Hao, for rescuing the slave family. The second young master is a person who cannot be offended. You are from the Ding family and you often walk around him. You should be more careful in the future to prevent him from intentionally causing trouble for you."
"They say you are stupid. You have always been dull and honest, but now you have learned to be so glib."
"Brother Hao, in the next life, Dong'er will marry you, be your wife, and serve you for the rest of your life. Do you want it? Do you mind?"
"When people follow you, even if they eat chaffy vegetables and no matter how miserable their lives are, they will feel happy in their hearts."
"Brother Hao was wronged by you! Because... he was with the slave family... last night!"
In early spring in February, at the bridge at the entrance of the village, she was shopping for clothes and taking a few breaths of hot air. She looked pitiful, like a white squirrel squatting by the river. When he blew a frivolous kiss, her little face was stained with peach blossoms.
A hint of shyness...
"The spring breeze stirs the heart of spring, and the eyes wander into the mountains and forests... The man wants to pluck me when he sees me, and my heart wants to embrace lotus. I plant hibiscus everywhere, and the lotus seeds are blooming... The ice in the deep is three feet thick, and the snow covers thousands of miles. My heart is like a pine and cypress, your love is yours.
How can it be the same?" That was the sound of her singing a cappella while washing her hair in the clear spring.
Amid countless pairs of disdainful eyes, she used the hairpin he gave her to style her hair, and her charming smile made her look charming...
All that is vivid in my mind, the voice, face, smile, and appearance are still there, and the traces of the beauty have faded away.
The sun was scorching in the sky, and Ding Hao embraced the ice.
There are eight sufferings in life. Birth, old age, illness, death, separation from love, long-lasting resentment, not being able to seek, and not being able to let go. Is everything in the Saha world suffering?
"That's him, he's that shameless thief!"
After a moment of panic, Ms. Dong Li panicked. She was afraid that Ding Hao would cause trouble for her. She was afraid that Ding Hao would tell her scandals. Although the Li family always protected her shortcomings, if the scandals were exposed, she would not be able to live with her face. She was like a crazy girl.
The bitch jumped on her feet and yelled: "Look at all the old and young men in Lijiazhuang. He has seduced someone else's daughter-in-law, and now he has come to Lijiazhuang to demonstrate. This is riding on the head of a man in Lijiazhuang.
He is a man, how can he endure it?"
Ding Hao turned his head furiously, blood gushing from his pupils, as if he were crazy. Dong Li was so frightened that he could not utter a single word.
"Beat him to death, beat him to death! Such a filthy thing cannot be sustained by heaven and earth, so it is only natural that he should be beaten to death!"
Many men from Lijiazhuang rushed up and started to punch and kick Ding Hao. Ding Hao roared, raised his fists, and fought with them like a desperate trapped animal. He used his fists, his elbows, and his knees.
He used his teeth to hit in a completely chaotic manner, but each blow would land heavily on someone. His body was covered with other people's blood, as well as his own blood. Now he could only strike hard with his fists and feet.
He only felt happy when he hit a certain human body. Only when countless fists and kicks landed heavily on him did he feel that he was still alive. He screamed like a wild beast, tearing everything in front of him with all his strength...
Ding Yuluo couldn't help it anymore. She couldn't care about the hidden murderer or the exposure of her identity. She rushed out from the darkness and shouted in a deep voice: "So many people are fighting against one person? When I see injustice on the road, I draw my sword to help."
La!"
Ding Yuluo took cover and rushed into the crowd. She was merciless. She used her fists and kicks at the same time, cleanly. Each palm hit a person's vital joints, and each kick hit a strong man. But
Although she has a famous teacher, her actual combat experience is really limited. It is better when she fights alone. In such a melee, she killed the old master with random punches. She also suffered a lot, so she had a solid foundation and never hit the vital points. Treat her.
She rushed through the crowd and fought her way to Ding Hao. Behind her, the strong man fell to the ground groaning in pain. She also received many punches and kicks on her body.
Ding Hao's eyes were red, and there was only the enemy in front of him. Ding Yuluo rushed in front of him. Without thinking, Ding Hao slammed his bloody fist towards her face. Ding Yuluo flipped his wrist, wrapped it around, gently and skillfully.
Then he pulled Ding Hao over with his strength. Ding Hao had only been thrown by this method once, and his memory was still fresh, so his heart moved and he regained his consciousness. Ding Yu fell into his ear and shouted: "I forgot that you were originally
How did you teach me a lesson? To seek death is to be a coward, but to live is to have hope!"
The always domineering Li family members were enraged and rushed towards them one by one, roaring.
"Let's go!" Ding Yuluo shouted, rushed into the crowd, and launched a spinning kick in the air, kicking five or six strong men until blood spurted from their mouths and noses and fell onto their backs. Ding Yuluo was immediately surrounded by more people in the center.
Luo took action and shouted: "Still not leaving? If you don't leave, I won't be able to escape."
Ding Hao had already recognized her identity. He looked at her intently and then ran forward like a wounded wolf. Before he could get far, there was a green gauze tent in front of him. Ding Hao dived in and disappeared.
figure...
In the green gauze tent, Scimitar Xiaoliu, Tieniu, and Big Tou were sitting side by side on the ground, looking at the crops in front of them as if they had never seen such beautiful scenery before, and couldn't take their eyes off it.
After a while, Datou said: "Xiao Liu'er, let's sit here. The sun is indeed not shining, but it is airtight here and it seems to be even hotter."
Sweat dripped down Xiaoliu's neck like a small snake. He snorted coldly: "Well, what do you want?"
Before Da Tou could say anything, Tie Niu said: "It's really hot. I also want to get up and walk. It will be cooler if the wind blows."
Scimitar Xiaoliu said sternly: "Sister-in-law is behind you, where are you going? Just sit still for me. Let me tell you, we have done a lot of things, but they are all trivial things. If you want to
I don't frown on anything, including murder and arson, but there is only one thing that no one is allowed to do, and that is betrayal. Brother Ding and we are sworn brothers, and Brother Ding's woman is our sister-in-law.
Rumu, if any of you has a pair of thief eyes and looks around to spy on your sister-in-law, my little six will recognize you, but the knife in my waist will not recognize you. If you are in my hands, I will dig out your eyes."
Tieniu slapped his neck and said, "What the hell are you talking about? Who do you think we are? We're so bored that we almost fainted. Well, if you say we'll tolerate it, we'll tolerate it. When will we leave?"
Scimitar Xiaoliu said: "My sister-in-law's clothes are all wet. How can I get rid of them if they stick to my body? No matter what, I have to wait for my sister-in-law's clothes to dry."
When he said this, he turned around and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
"Hey! Nothing's wrong with the slave family." A voice came from far away, and surprisingly it was Luo Dong'er's voice.
Scimitar Xiaoliu said: "That's good. After my sister-in-law's clothes are dry, we will accompany her to look for her brother. If you find any insects or mice, don't be afraid. Most of the grass snakes in this field are not poisonous. Don't worry.
It won't bother you even if you move it."
Luo Dong'er responded crisply again, and the two sides fell silent again.
It turned out that Scimitar Xiaoliu and the people from Lijiazhuang wanted to soak the pig cage with his eldest brother's woman, so he immediately took Datou and Tieniu to rush to the lower reaches of the river, took shelter behind a huge rock, and looked at the movement there. Only those villagers were seen.
When they arrived at the river, they spoke righteously again, and Scimitar Xiaoliu said: "You two wait here. As soon as they throw my sister-in-law into the water, I will drag her over. If she is discovered, it will be up to you two."
After the death, if everything goes well, we will rescue the elder sister-in-law and go to find the elder brother."
Tieniu and Datou knew that Xiao Liu'er had excellent water skills. He could sleep on the water when lying on his back, and when standing upright, the water could only reach his abdomen. It was easy to rescue someone, so they immediately nodded in agreement. Xiao Liu took off his outer clothes and walked by the river.
He broke off a long reed, pinched off the head and tail, blew out the tube and then quietly dived into the water.
Luo Dong'er was thrown into the water. Because the cage was filled with big rocks, he immediately sank to the bottom of the river. The scimitar Xiao Liu, who had already shut down the weather, immediately approached him and took out a half-foot-long curved sword that he had collected close to his body.
He cut the bamboo cage with a knife and pulled her out.
Although Luo Dong'er was not afraid of death, she was thrown into the water and felt suffocated, so she couldn't help but struggle. Xiao Liu'er dragged her away from the place, then dived slightly and stuffed the reed into her mouth. Luo Dong'er was able to breathe and regained her composure.
When he came down, he opened his eyes and saw a young man about the same age as himself, gesturing to him hurriedly in the water. Seeing his good intentions, Luo Donger calmed down and let him hold up his arm and dive with him downstream.
To the distance.
Scimitar Xiaoliu had excellent water skills and was traveling along the current at an extremely fast speed. When he arrived near the big rock, he dragged Luo Dong'er ashore. There was a green gauze tent on the shore. How could the people in Lijiazhuang discover their whereabouts? Luo Dong'er's clothes were just wet.
, although the girl's body has not yet grown, her summer clothes are thin, and it is still a bit indecent to be trapped by the water, so the four of them had to escape into the green gauze tent. After walking for a while, they no longer distinguish between east, west, north and south, and they don't know where they are.
Wherever they went, the four of them had no choice but to take shelter in the green gauze tent for a while, waiting for her clothes to dry before finding a way out. They were completely unaware of Ding Hao's feat of breaking into Lijiazhuang and taking on more than a hundred men on his own.
In the evening, Scimitar Xiaoliu went to Dingjiazhuang to explore around, then left the village and went into a forest. Luo Donger, Datou and Tieniu immediately went up to them. Donger asked hurriedly: "Brother Tongjia, what are you doing?"
Have you heard any news about him?"
Xiao Liu said bitterly: "It's a pity that we left early. My eldest brother heard that his sister-in-law was arrested by the Dong family's Diao Po and took her to Lijiazhuang, so he hurried there as well."
The three of them called Luo Dong'er sister-in-law all the way. Luo Dong'er sounded shy at first and repeatedly stated that she was not married to Ding Hao. The three of them ignored them. When they called her sister-in-law, Dong'er stopped refuting.
Ding Hao ignored him and only asked: "Brother Hao rushed to Lijiazhuang? How is he now?"
Xiao Liu said: "Eldest brother arrived a step too late. I had already rescued my sister-in-law and left at that time. Out of grief and anger, eldest brother single-handedly fought with hundreds of men from the Li family."
Luo Dong'er heard the tragic change in her face and cried: "This... what should I do? How can he be the opponent of those people alone? He... is he injured or something? How is he doing now?"
Xiaoliu said again: "The injury... doesn't seem serious. Hmm... it shouldn't be serious. He can escape without knowing where he is. I think... he shouldn't be seriously ill."
Tieniu was so angry that he raised his leg and kicked it, and cursed: "I usually say that you are smart, but our brothers always ask you to intervene in everything. Who would have thought that your mother-in-law and mother are really anxious. If you have any other farts, you can just let it out in one go."
"
Xiaoliu glared at him, patted his butt and said: "As soon as the elder brother took action, a ranger who happened to be passing by came to help him. He knocked down more than 20 strong men, suppressed the people of Lijiazhuang, and brought him to his aid.
He was let go, and now there is no trace of the eldest brother. However, although the eldest brother has not practiced martial arts, he is still very strong, so he should be fine. But... besides the Ding family, where else can he go, sister-in-law, do you know?"
Luo Dong'er shook his head and said: "There is nowhere to go. He...he has lived in the Ding family compound since he was a child. Now...my aunt has gone and Zhu'er's whereabouts are unknown. He must have thought that I was dead too. Now...now he is alone."
Where else can one go?"
Speaking of the sad part, Dong'er burst into tears. Tieniu looked frustrated and shouted: "I can't stand it anymore, Xiao Liu'er, where is that thief woman? I'll go kill her first, and then go to Lijiazhuang to have a good time."
, after beating the Li family, we will go to the Ding family to seek justice for my eldest brother. Do you want to go?"
Scimitar Xiaoliu said: "The culprit who harmed my sister-in-law is the Dong family woman. This thief woman has returned to Dingjiazhuang. We might as well go and beat her up. As for the Ding family, they are not so easy to talk to. We need to discuss it in the long term.
Even if you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about your sister-in-law. If we are all trapped in it, what should we do as a weak woman?"
Luo Dong'er listened to their discussion about how to deal with her mother-in-law, but she couldn't bear it and said hurriedly: "Forget it, mother-in-law...she sank the slave family into the river, and this fate was ended. From now on, she is her, I am me, there is nothing more
That's it for the dispute. You are all upright and good men, how can you come to bully him? Speaking of which, you have to find Brother Ding."
Xiao Liu frowned and said: "This is a bit difficult. More than twenty people have been injured in Lijiazhuang. Many big men are still lying at home with dislocated bones and broken bones. The Li family is clamoring to seek bad luck from the eldest brother.
The eldest brother will definitely not appear in public, and the resurrection of the sister-in-law must not be publicized. Otherwise, how can the Dong family shrew be willing to let you go? She has used her identity as mother-in-law, and it is inconvenient for anyone to publicly defend you. If she knows the approximate whereabouts of the eldest brother,
It will be much easier for us to find him quietly."
"Ah!" Luo Dong'er suddenly exclaimed and said happily: "I have thought of where Brother Hao might go."
The three of them were overjoyed and asked in unison: "Where has eldest brother gone?"
Dong'er said: "Brother Hao has been discussing with me that he would go to Guangyuan Mansion to serve General Cheng. At that time, he said he would take me, Aunt Yang and Zhu'er with him. Now...now he is here
There is no place to stay here, and I thought we had... I must have gone alone."
The three of them were stunned for a long time, and Xiao Liu shook his head slightly and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Even if the eldest brother is leaving, he should meet with our brothers and talk to each other. Now that it's getting late, sister-in-law might as well follow us back to the city and stay with us for the time being.
My family has many brothers and sisters, so you and my sisters will live together for the time being. We will search carefully for the whereabouts of my eldest brother in the next two days."
Datou scratched his head and said: "Then... what should we do if the eldest brother has left?"
Tieniu said proudly: "What's the matter? If the eldest brother has left, we will escort the sister-in-law to Guangyuan to find him."
Datou said with a sigh: "Guangyuan? I have heard of that place, but... the three of us have never been to such a far place."
Tieniu said nonchalantly: "How long is the journey? I think back when our official family in the Song Dynasty failed to accomplish anything, we sent a dragon stick to Jingniang thousands of miles away. How loyal it was. Zhao Guan's family and Zhao Jingniang were strangers to each other, and the person we were escorting was our sister-in-law.
What brothers want is a word of righteousness, and there is nothing they can do without it."
When Scimitar Xiaoliu heard him mention Zhao Kuangyin's heroic deeds, he couldn't help but feel heroic in his heart: "Okay! Let's take my sister-in-law back and wait for three days. If there is no news from my brother after three days, we will send my sister-in-law to Guangyuan!"
Luo Dong'er was so grateful that she almost fell to her knees: "Three brothers are very righteous, Luo Dong'er thanks you for your great kindness..."
"Sister-in-law, please get up quickly," Scimitar Xiaoliu hurriedly stopped her: "You are our sister-in-law. You don't have to kill us for this great gift. Sister-in-law, please get up quickly. Big Tou and Tieniu are both orphans. Wherever they go.
It’s all roots. Xiaoliu has many brothers and sisters. Dad just hates that there are a few freeloaders in the family. He doesn’t bother to care where I go. Let’s just make an agreement. My sister-in-law will go to my house. If there is no news about my elder brother in three days,
, the three of us brothers...'covering my sister-in-law from thousands of miles away, looking for her husband in Guangyuan'"
Dong'er's face heated up when he heard this, but Tieniu and Datou laughed loudly. The three brothers clapped their hands and swore an oath of alliance, and then protected Luo Dong'er and walked towards Bazhou City.
