The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind.
Following the leadership of their boss, Shisanniang, more than a dozen of the younger brothers in Black Tiger Mountain collected the abundant fruits without any effort. Of course, there were a few hiccups.
On one of the carriages of a convoy walking on a hidden mountain road, a little girl was crying, with lots of tears streaming down her face. Her weak little hands held the length of a young man next to her that was covered in blood.
On the cargo of a carriage, a woman sat cross-legged there, trying not to fall down as the carriage swayed, with two swords hanging on her waist, dragging her head with one hand, looking under the cargo,
He used the free space at the front of the car to talk to the crying little girl.
"Stop crying. If you cry any more, you will wake up the sleeping tiger in the mountains."
"Just..." Xiao Yanyu raised his tear-filled cheeks and looked at the woman. He was about to say that you are the tiger, but when he thought that she was also a ruthless bandit leader, he immediately changed his words and said: "You
He is a bad person, you are all bad people."
As soon as the little girl said this, everyone immediately laughed: "Bad people? We are bad people to begin with."
.....
Black Tiger Mountain is the collective name for the mountains in the north of Hezhou. Not long after the founding of the Chu State, there were internal and external troubles. At that time, some people fled to the mountains for refuge. Later, the domestic politics gradually stabilized, and some people walked out of the mountains and returned to the masses.
life, while some continue to stay in the mountains.
Gradually, the people living in the deep mountains discovered another way to make money, robbing, and then began to engage in banditry. It was under such circumstances that the Bandit Black Tiger Mountain was established.
At first, there was only one force in Black Tiger Mountain, which often robbed convoys on the trade roads, and the government also dispatched officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits. However, the terrain of Black Tiger Mountain was complex. When the Black Tiger Mountain bandits saw the arrival of the officers and soldiers, they fled in all directions and became farmers in the mountains.
The officers and soldiers were helpless. Later, the Chu State was fighting everywhere, and the court was focusing on the border. The local officials were no longer working hard to lose weight. Black Tiger Mountain grew bigger and bigger, and other small hills appeared, all of which were closely related to Black Tiger Mountain.
Over time, the relationship has become the current pattern.
The convoy went around hidden mountain roads. The rugged and steep mountain road finally stopped at the foot of a certain mountain because there was no longer a road for the carriage to travel.
A man from the convoy jumped out of the carriage and put two fingers in his mouth. A sharp whistle sounded in the mountains and forests, piercing the night sky. At this time, white belly began to appear in the distant sky.
After everyone waited for a long time, a group of people appeared on the mountain path. When they saw the woman sitting in the carriage of the motorcade, they all respectfully shouted: Thirteenth Mother.
"When unloading a truck, you should use horses to carry it, and if you need to use people to carry it, you should do it quickly." Thirteen Years stretched out and said.
"yes."
"Have you prepared the food in the village? The brothers have been hungry all night."
"That's necessary. The Jade Military Advisor has already made arrangements. After eating, the brothers can sleep peacefully and peacefully."
"Did you do anything big yesterday?" Thirteenth Niang jumped off the carriage and looked up at the direction of the village on the mountain.
"Everything was within the plan of the military advisor. When the flower-faced tiger heard that Thirteenth Mother was not in the village, he couldn't help but come over and was caught in a trap by us, but..."
"It's just that our urn is not strong and the turtles escaped?"
"Yes, yes, the Thirteenth Mother is like a god."
"Stop flattering me here." Thirteenth Niang kicked the man away. "I don't expect you to keep that flower-faced tiger. It would be nice to let him eat a turtle."
"Hey hey hey, yes yes yes."
"Stop giggling and get to work."
At this time, a younger brother on the side said: "Thirteenth Mother, these two are..."
Thirteenth Niang glanced at the still unconscious boy and a little girl who was only sobbing, and said: "These two treasures I picked up by chance, you guys can carry this little guy up the mountain. Don't break it. Find a room for them."
He lies down, and I will take the little girl up the mountain myself."
"No, I want to be with him." Xiao Yanyu hugged Chen Mo's arm tightly.
The Thirteenth Niang ignored the little girl's actions, knocked her out a little bit on her neck, carried her on her back, and walked up the mountain slowly.
"Brother Xiao, what are the origins of these two people, and they can actually let Thirteenth Niang carry her up the mountain?" A strong young man who came down from the mountain looked at Thirteenth Niang's retreating back, and quietly approached a man who had met Thirteenth Niang last night.
Next to the man who was moving with my mother, I asked.
"You've lost your ears? Didn't Thirteenth Mother just say that she picked it up casually?" Then the man patted the man's shoulder and added mysteriously: "Be careful with the treasure you picked up."
"Baby?" The young man looked at the half-dead boy lying on the carriage. He didn't look good-looking. He wouldn't be able to sell it for much money even if he was a young husband.
...
To put it bluntly, the place where bandits live is called a bandit nest, but if you look closer, you will see that it is a stockade. A stockade is similar to a village. What is different from ordinary villages is that the stockade here has many more defensive measures.
Diaojiaolou are built in this village.
Perhaps many people think that the Bandit Den is just a group of idle people gathered in a dilapidated small village, but to the deep-rooted Black Tiger Mountain Village, it is just a village.
Tracing back to its origins, this cottage was originally built by people who fled here. Later, it developed into a bandit's den.
The door of the huge wooden thorn village was opened, and the goods carried by people and horses were sent into the village. It immediately attracted the attention of some children in the village. The bolder ones even tried to pick up the items.
"Go away, go away, and if you move your hands or feet, I will chop off your hands." A man looked at each other angrily.
But the children were not afraid at all. They made faces at them and ran away.
When the goods were moved to the stockade, someone immediately took over and pulled the goods to the warehouse in the stockade in an orderly manner.
Thirteen years old also appeared at the gate with a little girl on his back, looking at the bustling village and smiling.
"Thirteenth Niang, Thirteenth Niang, who are you carrying?" A little boy with a runny nose came over, looked at the little girl who seemed to be sleeping on Thirteenth Niang's back, and said with his fingers in his mouth.
"Little nose, this is the wife Thirteenth Niang found for you." Thirteenth Niang said with a smile.
"Daughter-in-law?" Little Sniffle was confused for a moment, then danced happily and shouted in the crowd: "I have a wife, I have a wife."
As soon as Little Sniffle shouted this, more children were attracted to them, and they circled around Thirteen Years Old.
Some boys looked at the little girl behind Thirteenth Niang and immediately shouted: "This is mine, this is mine."
Then a group of children started to quarrel and chatter over the little girl.
"Get out of here and make a fuss. Whoever wins the fight will be his." Thirteenth Niang said impatiently, and then shouted to a woman: "Aunt Li, come here."
A woman in linen clothes put down her work and trotted over.
"Take her to my room."
The woman named Aunt Li said "Hey" and carefully took the sleeping little girl behind her, hugged her and left this noisy place. Some of the children who were following Aunt Li were all given away by Aunt Li.
Drive away.
When Thirteenth Niang saw the man standing on the watchtower in the village, she flew up and stood with the man on the watchtower amid the envious eyes of the children.
The man was a little taller than Thirteenth Niang, with a medium-strong build and a slight smile on his face. Watching Thirteenth Niang's arrival, he slowly opened his mouth: "It seems that things are going very smoothly."
"As you said, it's effortless. If they weren't scared, we would have no choice but to give up." Thirteenth Niang said with a smile.
"We have secretly leaked the news before, and we should cooperate. They will most likely believe it. And we also need the goods this time, otherwise this winter will be difficult." The man said with a relaxed look.
"Aren't you still here?" Thirteenth Niang patted the shoulder of the man who was called the military advisor by the people in the village.
"I'm not a god, and I can't conjure up a bunch of food."
"Has the matter been dealt with in Niangpi Town?" Thirteenth Niang changed the subject.
"It's done. Almost everything that can be scraped in the village has been scraped. So, if you don't grab this batch of goods this time, I will become a sinner."
"No, no."
"Who is that young man?" The man noticed at this time that the people in the village brought back a seriously injured young man. Who among them as bandits could be so kind-hearted to save an injured young man?
"Oh, someone who dares to call me a tigress to my face." Thirteenth Niang wanted to laugh when she thought of what the young man named Chen Mo called her last night.
"Oh? You didn't kill him. When did you become so merciful?" The man teased.
"I had a fight with him but didn't kill him. This guy is very good at resisting beatings." Thirteenth Niang briefly explained the situation last night.
"You can't just bring someone back if you resist a beating, what if he is a gap between those people." The man shook his head. "You still want to reform him."
"He's not one of those people from the mountains. He's just a passer-by. When he saw me, he said he came to fight with me. Do you think it's interesting?"
The man was stunned for a moment and said, "That's quite interesting. The little girl is also with her?"
Thirteenth Niang nodded and said, "I'm tired. I'm going to bed. I'll bother you in the village."
"If you want to say you're tired, I'm even more tired. You didn't even move, and I even got into a fight."
"You are a man, please be more considerate." After saying this, Thirteenth Niang jumped off the observation tower.
Chen Mo was thrown into a small house and lay motionless on a straw mat.
After a while, a person walked into the house. It was the thirteenth girl who said she was going to bed.
Thirteenth Niang walked to Chen Mo and looked at him who was still unconscious. She bent down, put her head next to Chen Mo's, and whispered into his ear: "I know you're awake, but now
But in my territory, don't try any tricks. If you want to escape, I won't stop you, as long as you can escape. By the way, that little girl is in my room, and I will betroth her to her in the future.
As for the children in the village, you are not brothers and sisters anyway, so you can just escape by yourself."
After saying that, Thirteenth Niang left here. From the beginning to the end, Chen Mo did not open his eyes. It was not like she said that he was already awake.
