Shanxi, Youyu County. The sun is shining brightly, the wind is deserted, and the lonely Cangtou River winds northwards out of the city and pours into the turbid Yellow River. Looking down from the sky, you can see all the rifts and ravines unique to the Loess Plateau. This is a barren land, but the people living on this land are as tenacious as weeds.

Not far from Cangtou River is an official road, which can lead directly to the Great Wall Fortress Khahukou. At this time, a donkey cart came on the official road, and was driving north slowly. The handlebar is a middle-aged man with a frosty face, with a very special Aries belly handkerchief on his head, which is obviously a local from Youyu County.

There were two young scholars sitting behind the donkey cart. Due to the rugged official road, the donkey cart was swaying extremely hard. The two scholars had to grab the shaft of the cart with both hands so that they would not overturn off the cart.

These two scholars were not alone, but Cai Yue and Li Yingjun who were traveling west, pursuing poetry and distant places. There was little vegetation on the plateau and the wind and sand were strong. The two white-faced scholars were tanned a lot, and their faces were covered with dust.

It is said that Cai and Li left the capital in early April, headed west to Xuanfu, and entered Datongfu in early June, without any danger. They didn't even encounter a thief with a clipping path. I have to say that these two guys are very lucky. They are like playing games, and they are rushing all the way without fail.

Cai and Li stayed in Datong for a long time, then continued to travel west to Shuozhou, and arrived in Youyu County in early July. They are now planning to visit the long-famous Great Wall, Khahukou, to see if they can inspire inspiration and write several frontier poems that have passed down from generation to generation.

"Brother, how long will it take to reach the Killing Hukou?" Li Yingjun asked the handlebars. The donkey cart was shaking too hard, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Young master, it's still a while." The handlebar grinned, but muttered in his heart: "Does these scholars have ruined their minds and have a good life, but they just want to go to the border to see the scenery outside the border. Isn't it just a broken castle? What's the good looking thing? If you happen to meet a Tartar coming to hunt the grass valley, you won't have your life lost, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

It is mid-July, which is the season for wheat harvesting. There are wheat fields on both sides of the Cangtou River, and nearby villagers are busy harvesting wheat in the fields.

At this moment, a loud and distant voice came from the wheat field not far away:

Ducks up the river and gooses down the river

A pair of hairy eyes and eyes are taken by brother

I cooked that money (yo) and got the rice

Let's take you on the road

The glass of clear water is lit through the window

Smile at my brother

The door with double-fans is here (yo) the single-fans are opened

Call brother (yo) Come back soon

Ah...ah...

The door with double-fans is here (yo) the single-fans are opened

Call brother (yo) Come back soon.

This is a song about Xintianyou with a distinctive feature of northern Shaanxi. The song is loud and clear, and the lyrics are easy to understand. It is really nothing to modern people, but it is a bad impression in the ears of two scholars, Cai Yue and Li Yingjun, not to mention that the singer is actually a young girl.

However, the uncle who was driving the bus listened with relish. As soon as the singing stopped, he immediately pulled his throat and sang loudly:

The geese are back and spring is blooming again.

My sister, I think of myself.

The grass on the hillside is yellow and green,

My sister, I'm waiting for you...

Crescent teeth hidden in the dark night,

All of them got into my brother's arms.

The river in the east of the village is rustling,

My sister, I'm so happy that I'm calling myself...

The handlebar uncle looked covered in dust, but when he opened his mouth, he was shocked. His voice was bright and round, and he wore a golden and cracked jade, but the lyrics were very explicit.

Cai and Li blushed and shook their heads repeatedly when they heard this. It was outrageous. It was really a disgrace to be gentle. These frontiers were indeed not educated.

The handlebars were singing very vigorously. Suddenly, the dust heads were flying in front of him, and more than a dozen horses were galloping towards him. The knights on the horse's back dressed clearly differently from the Han people. Everyone held sharp knives in their hands, bows and arrows on their waists, and a greedy grin appeared on their faces.

The handlebar style changed drastically. He grabbed the reins and jumped out of the donkey cart, ran to the nearby hillside, shouting, "The Tartars are fighting the grass valley, everyone should run away!"

At this time, the people harvested in the wheat fields left their work to escape. They did not forget to carry the wheat while running away. They could carry as much as they could, otherwise they would be stolen by the Tartars.

The so-called "grass-beating valley" means robbing food. Every July and August, when wheat harvest season occurs, the Tartars would sneak in groups from remote passes around the Great Wall to rob the food of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of this, many people on the border of the Ming Dynasty worked hard for a year, but in the end they were unable to recover. The family could only die in the cold winter, saying that they would not respond every day, and that the earth was not effective, which was not ordinary miserable.

After all, Cai and Li were inexperienced. Seeing everyone running away crying and calling their parents, they didn't react for a while, and they were still sitting in the donkey cart in a stupid way. So they didn't know why.

"You two fools, run away quickly, the Tartars are looting!" A village girl in her teens ran past the car and kindly reminded the two that Cai Yue recognized the young girl who had just sung.

"Brother Ziyu, run!" Cai Yue first reacted and pulled Li Yingjun out of the car.

At this time, the group of Tartars had rushed to thirty meters away. The sharp sword in their hands shone with cold light and a creepy scream in their mouths.

Cai and Li were so scared that their legs were almost weak and their knees. The village girl who ran a few meters ran back when she saw this, grabbed Cai Yue's hand and said, "Follow the nest and run to the hillside, the Tartars will not be able to get up the hillside."

Cai and Li followed the village girl to the hillside. At this time, the group of Tartars had already arrived at the hillside, took down their bows and arrows and started shooting mode with a slap. The screams were endless, and the people who were caught in the arrow kept rolling down from the hillside.

The two weak scholars, Cai and Li, had never seen such a bloody scene. They were so scared that their faces were as bright as earth and their hearts were broken. Fortunately, the number of Tartars was not large, and they specially picked the people carrying wheat to shoot them. Therefore, Cai and Li were lucky enough to escape, successfully ran to the hillside, and escaped the range of the bow and arrow.

"Dad!" The village suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Cai and Li looked in the voice and saw an old farmer carrying a big bundle of wheat rolling down the slope, two feather arrows inserted on his back, and the arrows all emerged from his thin chest. It was probably impossible to survive.

At this time, a young man seemed to want to turn back to rescue the old farmer, but as soon as he picked up the old farmer, he was shot in his throat and two bodies rolled down the hillside together.

"Second brother!" The village girl screamed and cried again.

Cai and Li were both frightened, and Li Yingjun's legs became even weaker and even fell to the hillside.

"Brother Ziyu!" Cai Yue was shocked and staggered a few steps to hold Li Yingjun, but unfortunately he was still a beat slower. The latter rolled down the slope, probably because he fainted.

A Tartar laughed and rushed forward to lift Li Yingjun on the ground, shouting in Tatar, "Scholars are scholars, haha!" After that, he put Li Yingjun on the horse's back like a dead dog.

"Brother Ziyu!" Cai Yue wanted to rush down the hillside to save people, but the village girl next to him grabbed him tightly and cried, "Don't go down, you can't beat him, don't worry, the Tartars will not kill your friends. They not only robbed food, but also slaves. My mother and my elder brother were robbed by the Tartars last year... Woo woo!"

After saying that, the village girl squatted down and cried loudly, and she became a tearful person. She was sad when she saw her and cry when she heard her. Cai Yue was stunned and fell to the ground in dejection. It was so miserable. This was not the poem or distance he wanted.

Beauty often only exists in imagination, and reality is always so cruel!

Dingling... Dinglingling...

A rapid copper ringtone vaguely sounded, followed by cheers. Cai Yue, who was holding his head in pain, subconsciously raised his face. He saw dust flying across the bank of Cangtou River, and a team of Pumas ran towards him in a flash.

This horse team was about twenty riders. The horses were all wearing black clothes and black scarf covering their faces, showing their stunning eyes. There was a copper bell tied around the neck of the horse underneath. It jingled when running, and the sound was quite scary.

"It's the third lady of Heitaishan, it's the third lady!" The village girl with tears in her eyes stood up and shouted excitedly. The people who had successfully escaped were also shouting with joy, as if the savior had come.

At this time, the black-clothed horse team had already rushed to the other side of the Cangtou River. The man in black was headed, and seemed to be a woman. When she lifted the reins of the horse, the war horse rushed directly into the river.

The river water was very shallow, only reaching the horse's knees, and more than 20 rival horses wade through the water directly, splashing water all over the sky.

Whoosh swish swish swish...

As soon as a black knight got ashore, he immediately bent his bow and arrow, and shot three Tartars who were packing wheat ears to death.

The Tartars were so angry that they shouted, jumped onto the horses and rushed towards the black-clothed horse team. The two men and horses fought fiercely on the wheat field.

The woman in black in the lead used a long sword and rode her horse to rush to the left and right, and stabbed the two Tartars to death. She was very brave!

"Three Lady, Three Lady is invincible!" The people on the hillside whirled their fists and shouted: "Damn Tartars, kill them!"

Some brave young men rushed down with farm tools such as shoulder poles, and shouted to kill him for a moment.

There were only a dozen of those Tartars, and nearly half of them were killed. Seeing that the situation was wrong, they whistled and ran wildly.

"Brother Ziyu!" Cai Yue shouted loudly, because Li Yingjun was also strapped on the back of a Tartar and ran wildly, and the Tartar was riding very well, and there was one more person on the back of the horse and he ran very fast.

The Black-clothed Horse Team chased after a while and killed several Tartars. The remaining five Tartars eventually escaped. These Tartars had very good horses and their riding skills were better than those of the Black-clothed Horse Team.

"Three Lady, Three Lady...!"

When the people saw the Tartars being beaten away, they cheered and ran down the surrounding hillside. However, the black-clothed horse team took the horses left by the Tartars and the bodies of the Tartars together, and rode their horses away quickly.

"Thank you, the third lady, for saving the suffering and suffering Guanyin Bodhisattva, for blessing the third lady for a long life, long life and blessings..."

The people knelt down and bowed to the black-clothed horse team that was moving away. Some young people even followed the black-clothed horse team and chased each other, shouting the third lady to take me in.

Cai Yue looked at the dust head that disappeared in the distance and was confused. At this time, there was no more poetry and invincible feelings, only fear, grief and worries!

"The Tartars just now shouted that the Tartars generally treat scholars more favorably, and your friends should not suffer any hardship!" The village girl's face was covered with tears, but she still comforted Cai Yue, obviously a kind-hearted girl.

Cai Yue glanced at the young village girl with an average appearance and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving me just now!"

The village girl wiped her tears and said, "I don't need to thank you anymore. Can you help me move my father and second brother back to the village?"

Cai Yue quickly agreed, but fortunately the donkey cart was still there, so Cai Yue called the handlebar to help and transported the two bodies to bury.

Looking at the young village girl kneeling in front of the earthen grave and crying in the dark, Cai Yue's throat seemed to be blocked by something. According to him, there was no one else in the village girl's house, which was really miserable.

"Miss Ye Zi, what are your plans in the future?" Cai Yue held it in for a long time and finally couldn't help asking.

The village girl raised her face covered with tears, her eyes showed hatred, and said stubbornly: "Go to Heitai Mountain to join the third lady and kill the Tartars!"

Cai Yue frowned. He had just inquired with the villagers that the so-called third lady of Heitaishan was just a group of strong men who occupied the mountain and became king. So he advised: "Miss Ye Zi is a good citizen, why bother to fall into depravity and seek refuge in the bandits who fought against the family and robbed the house!"

The village girl raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically: "What's wrong with the bandits? The third lady never robs the common people, but only robs those corrupt officials who are unkind for wealth and unkind. She also kills the Tartars to protect the nearby people. Compared to those officers and soldiers who only bully the common people, they will escape when they see the Tartars.

You have seen it just now. If it weren't for the Third Lady today, more people would die, and the food would be stolen by the Tartars, and more people would starve to death in winter. The officers and soldiers do not care about our lives and deaths, and the Third Lady is the guardian of our people. The nest is to join her, otherwise you will report to the official to catch the nest!"

Cai Yue was embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "Miss Ye Zi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that!"

...

Black Taishan.

A horse team rushed towards the village gate. A strong young man on duty on the arrow tower set up a canopy and looked into the distance. After seeing the people clearly, he immediately shouted excitedly: "The bosses are back, open the village gate!"

The thick village gate slowly opened, and a team of black-clothed horses had already arrived and rushed in directly.

"The boss is back!"

"Miss is back!"

The men, women, young and old in the village ran out to greet each other, and they all smiled happily. Today, the head of the family led the team to "hunting". It seemed that they had gained a lot, and they actually snatched back more than a dozen horses.
