After noon, the weather was still hot, and the sun set on me like fire.
The mountain road is overgrown with weeds, leaving only a narrow path. The weather is humid and sultry. Walking on such a road is simply a kind of torture. Sweat comes out layer by layer like twisting a towel.
But there happened to be two people walking on such a road. They were both dressed as scholars, with white robes and hair tied up. The person walking in front had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a slender figure. The robe was rolled around his waist, his hair was stuck to his face, and his skin was a little sunburned.
Withered and yellow.
"Brother, wait for me, don't walk so fast." The man behind him was much thinner, like a child wearing clothes that didn't belong to him: "I don't want to stay in Youzhou City, but I come here, and it hurts you and me.
Suffer together."
"How can you know the world without traveling thousands of miles? If you only stay in Youzhou City, how can you see such great rivers and mountains." The elder brother turned his head and grinned, his smile was clean and beautiful.
"What's so interesting about these poor mountains and rivers? I heard there are bandits here. Don't attract bandits." The younger brother trotted forward, complaining.
"What are the bandits to be afraid of? If they dare to come, I can cut a path with one sword and one person." The elder brother slapped the sword on his waist and made a jingling sound.
"Hey!" With a loud roar, Cheng Dalei jumped out of the woods and shouted: "It's robbery, it's robbery, the men stand on the left, the women on the right, you... As for you, stand in the middle."
The younger brother's face turned red and he hurriedly stood behind his elder brother. The elder brother glanced at Cheng Dalei and drew his sword with a clang.
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
With his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, he was handsome and handsome. He swept the ax in Cheng Dalei's hand, then looked at his own sword, and suddenly raised his hand in a gesture of surrender.
"We surrender!"
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
Cheng Dalei and the man's younger brother opened their eyes wide at the same time. The older brother suddenly pulled the hat on his younger brother's head and said, "This is my younger sister. She is so pretty. If it doesn't work out, please keep her and let me go."
The long hair hangs down, showing off a delicate face that can be broken by blows. The man disguises himself as a woman, which makes him even more charming.
"Brother!" My sister looked unhappy and kicked him: "How could you betray me?"
"Sister, I still have a great future, so just sacrifice it. I will miss you."
"Whoever makes you miss me is a bastard."
"stop!"
Cheng Dalei stopped the brother and sister in time and said, "What's your name?"
"My name is Li Waner, and his name is Li Xingzai." This time it was the younger sister who betrayed her elder brother.
"What for?" Cheng Dalei asked.
"Poet!" Li Xingzai raised his head and said.
"Poet?" Cheng Dalei asked in surprise.
"Exactly, my dream is to travel all over China and write poems that will be famous throughout the ages." Li Xingzai said seriously.
"Then you must have been to many places?" Cheng Dalei thought for a while and said, "Very good, congratulations, you were kidnapped."
The two of them were driven up the mountain by Cheng Dalei. Li Waner whispered: "Brother, do we really want to go up the mountain with him?"
"Come on, what are you talking about!" Cheng Dalei urged.
Finally, Cheng Dalei escorted the two of them to Toad Village. When they passed the school grounds and saw the banner of Toad Village, Li Waner was startled.
"Is this the legendary Toad Village?"
"Hey, where did the word "legend" come from?" Cheng Dalei was a little confused.
Li Xingzai looked at Cheng Dalei: "Are you the Toad King who used the strength of five people to resist a thousand elite soldiers and killed Black Rock City without any armor?"
"Hey, am I so famous now?" Cheng Dalei scratched his head.
"The legend also says that you have to eat human flesh and drink human blood for every meal... You took us up the mountain, do you want to eat us?" Li Waner said in fear.
"Do you think I look like a cannibal?" Cheng Dalei said helplessly.
"Like." Li Waner nodded sharply.
Cheng Dalei rushed to the street.
"Okay, let me explain to you the rules of Toad Village." Cheng Dalei collected his hurt emotions and said: "You just stay here, I won't beat you, and I won't lock you up. If you want to leave, feel free to leave, but
There are bandits within a fifty-mile radius here. If you are confident that you can get out of Qingniu Mountain safely, you can leave."
"Then why are you leaving us here? Do you really want to..." Li Waner subconsciously hugged her chest.
"Ahem." Cheng Dalei coughed lightly and reluctantly returned his gaze to Li Waner's chest. He looked at Li Xingzai and said, "Aren't you a poet? Write down everything you have seen and heard. When you finish writing, I will send someone to escort you out of Qingniu Mountain.
.”
"Commander Xu!" Cheng Dalei shouted: "Prepare pens and ink for them and arrange their rooms."
Li Xingzai and Li Waner were sent to the same room. When there were only two people left in the room, Li Waner said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, why are you deliberately left here? Even the teacher praised your swordsmanship..."
"Ha." Li Xingzai fell down on the earthen bed. He was very adaptable to the simple environment here: "Don't you think this cottage is very interesting?"
"What's so interesting? Why didn't I see it?"
"This is the first time I've seen bandits who robbed people, and I always feel like there's something else about this village." Li Xingzai spread out the rice paper in front of him: "Come on, polish your ink. Since you are a poet, let me write some poems first.
A poem."
…
Name: Cheng Dalei (an ordinary bandit with a small reputation)
Age:18
Skill:Three-axe
Hidden attribute: a good person
As soon as the Li Xingzai brothers left, Cheng Dalei started to check his own information. He had been busy with other things and hadn't looked at his own information for a long time, but it turned out that his reputation had been upgraded unknowingly. This should be after defending against the Black Rock City attack.
, the news gradually spread, and the reputation was harvested.
It used to be a fledgling business, but now it is somewhat famous. I don’t know if its reputation will be used for other purposes if it continues to be upgraded. At least for now, it seems useless.
"Master." Huang Sanyuan greeted Cheng Dalei when he saw him.
Cheng Dalei remembered something and asked, "How was the response when you sent the peppers to Luoye City?"
"I'll give all the peppers to Miss Su. I'm afraid it will take some time to know how the response will be." Huang Sanyuan.
"So what do you think of the recent dishes stir-fried with chili peppers?"
"I felt uncomfortable at first, but after a few days of not eating, I still want to eat." Huang Sanyuan.
Seeing Huang Sanyuan's expression, Cheng Dalei felt confident. It seemed that peppers had to be planted well, and the future development of the village would depend on them.
"What are the other cottages busy with?" Cheng Dalei asked as he walked towards the farmland of the cottage, "Are they all thinking about those birthday gifts and busy robbing them?"
"Now the entire Qingniu Mountain is staring at this matter. As long as those birthday gifts pass through Qingniu Mountain, someone will definitely take action." Huang Sanyuan asked: "Master, are we really not going to take action?"
