Chapter 45

This is an inconspicuous small village, located in a small valley in Guangwu Mountain, with seven or eight families sparsely located. Not far away is a gulf that is dozens of feet deep. The canal led from the Yellow River has long been diverted from the gulf. Weeds and trees are growing at the bottom of the gulf, leaving only some small puddles formed by rainwater.

On both sides of the gulf, an ancient city that had long collapsed. To the west of the gulf is the Han King City and the Bawang City in the east, whispering the battle that took place here a thousand years ago that determined the fate of the world.

On the other side of the ditch, opposite the village, there are many thatched huts distributed sparsely and chaoticly. Several thick smoke columns rose from the hill not far from these thatched huts.

There is exactly where the cellar opening opened by Tong Qilang, and those thatched huts are the residences of the cellar workers.

Most of the cellar workers were brought by Tong Qilang from Xiuwu County, which is one of the largest porcelain production areas in the north, and there are thousands of good people who burn cellars. Others are refugees from the surrounding prefectures and counties. Some of them work in the cellars, and some log wood and charcoal in the mountains.

In the largest courtyard in the center of the village, a young man in his twenties was sitting on a stool, with his upper body open and his chest open, bare feet, and a stool under his seat.

Xiong Er and Jiao Wu stood in front of the boy, dejected, telling the story of his encounter at Zheng Er's house not long ago.

After hearing the two of them say, the young man shouted loudly: "That guy Zheng Er, there is no business these days, and it depends on our family's care, so he has not sold his family's book. How dare he be so trash! Where are the others? The two of them dragged them over and broke his legs. Do you dare to make trouble with us Qiao!"

Xiong Er accompanied him and said carefully: "Dalang, don't worry about Zheng Er for now. Let him clean up the pigs he brought back without delaying the use. At that time, will we still let us defecate? What's hateful is that the three thieves I met just now actually snatched two pigs! While they have not gone far, we might as well send a few people to snatch them back!"

The boy nodded: "Well, Xiong Er, you are getting more and more promising, and you are considerate! Come on, find seven or eight strong ones, and follow Xiong Er and Jiao Wu, and catch up with the three to snatch our pigs back! You should be careful as long as you don't beat the person to death. If you have a life lawsuit, the county can't suppress it, and other things are no problem!"

The people around him agreed in a mess, and someone ran out and brought a group of big men back in a moment.

Xiong Er was overjoyed and bowed to the young man on the stool, "Dalang sits here, and the young man will come with him, so he will definitely do the things properly! Those three thieves from other places will make them lose their skin!"

Dalang waved his hands repeatedly: "Go quickly, go quickly, get things done early, don't miss it, come back and drink and eat meat!"

Xiong Er winked at Jiao Wu, greeted everyone, and walked out of the yard with a whisper.

It turned out that the two came back just to say that they met three big men in front of Zheng Er's gate. The two sides were not against each other when they fought, and the three robbed two pigs. They did not say that Lu Fang had calculated the money for them. In the two of them, the three people were not serious. As long as they brought people to defeat them, the money would fall into their pockets.

Watching the crowd go out, an old man in his fifties behind the young man whispered: "Dalang, we are in a remote area of ​​Heyin County. How can we not know about a foreigner? Recently, I heard that a high-ranking official came to the capital and took his subordinates to the bank of the Yellow River. The staff member of the family repeatedly told him that the official's identity was extraordinary and we must not provoke them, otherwise we would not be able to afford to be guilty. The three people mentioned by Xiong Er and Jiao Wu were not the followers of the high-ranking official, right? We have to be careful of this matter!"

The young man was indifferent: "Old Wu, you've thought too much! I've heard of this, but what is the identity of Xu Daguanren? If you want two pigs to eat, just say something, the county is sending it over there? How could you send your subordinates to Zheng Er's house to buy it? Think about it, if we were Xu Daguanren, and we wouldn't eat anything delicious first when we arrived in Mengzhou? How could we send people to search after these days!"

Seeing that the old man still didn't believe it, the young man patted his shoulder: "Safe, rest assured! I have a sense of my own doing things. I have thought carefully about everything, how could something go wrong in this!"

Seeing that the young man had decided, the old man sighed and said nothing.

Xiong Er and Jiao Wu, with seven or eight big men, swayed out of the small mountain village, walked to a small hillside, pointed at a not far away and said, "Those three slaughtered the pigs and went east. They are not experts and can't drive pigs. If the two of them take them away, they will probably not be able to walk fast. Let's hurry up and catch up without waiting for the sun to set!"

The two of them cheered and followed Xiong Er and Jiao Wu in a mess toward the mountain.

Lu Fang calculated the time, and he rushed back to the bank of the Yellow River, but it was too late, so he took his people back to the Sanhuang Temple.

Two soldiers each carried a pig, and they were panting if they couldn't walk a mile.

The pigs of this era usually rely on the outside to grazle and raise them. They don’t grow up, weighing only a few dozen kilograms, which is incomparable to those fat pigs in Xu Ping’s previous life who were only over 200 kilograms at any time. But this is a living creature after all. After all, it is a living creature. He is held in his arms and kicked around with four hooves, struggling around, and walking in a random way.

When he arrived at a small woods, a soldier said to Lu Fang: "The palace is straight, it's good and bad. This beast is moving around in his arms, and it's too much to hold it."

Lu Fang said, "Okay, you can sit by the forest first. I see some kudzu vines over there, so I will pull a few of them and tie them up so that they won't move endlessly."

The two soldiers agreed and panted to the woods, sat on the ground with their butts, stretched out their big hands to press the two pigs tightly on the ground, and looked at each other and gasped.

One said: "I just think that the pork is delicious, but I don't want it to be so laborious to transport it!"

Another said: "Just just watch Zheng Tu drive a few pigs, they can go wherever they go. Who knows we don't have the ability? Could it be that the guy has the murderous aura accumulated by killing pigs? These beasts are so scared that they dare not move at first sight? I heard that the butcher has murderous aura that others cannot see."

"Maybe it is," said the previous one, leaning against the tree to rest.

Lu Fang quickly walked to a rock beside the woods and pulled the vines with his hands. He was afraid that he would not dare to force his hands. After a while, he pulled one out. He looked around and saw a lush weed not far away. He pulled a handful of weeds in his hand. Then he felt relieved and took a few vines to pull them randomly.

At this moment, a loud shout came from a distance: "Look, there are three thieves who are robbing our pigs over there! Let's gather together, don't let them run away!" To be continued.
