Chapter 12 Sneak in the dark night
The winter mood gradually fades away and the stream begins to bloom. The primrose flowers bloom sparsely among the bushes, the morning breeze passes by, and the golden sways, which is very cute.
Yang Sanlang and Lu Qiuniang became their own husband and wife. They fell in love more and more inseparable, but they were even more diligent and pragmatic.
After lunch that day, Lu Qiuniang spoke to Yang Sanlang at the wooden table: "Brother Sanlang, I heard from Aunt Zhang that some families have found some suitable hillsides nearby and have cultivated a few acres of terraced fields. When the season comes, they will plant some corn, millet, sunflower, etc., but they are still short of seeds. Although I have known the work in the fields since I was a child, I can only know the skills of raising silkworms and silk weaving and tailing clothes. Therefore, I have to find some silkworm seeds. If I raise them well, I can produce some silkworms this summer."
Yang Sanlang knew her feelings and smiled and said, "It must be that some aunts couldn't think of a solution for a while, and it was difficult to talk to Brother Dashi, so he asked you to mention this matter. They were too careful. I know this! I later told Brother Dashi that not only seeds, but some agricultural tools, stone mills, pots, bowls, etc., they also had to go down the mountain to find some. Although the silkworm seeds you mentioned were difficult to find, if you were determined to find them, you would always find them. However, if the girl Qiu Niang really made silk, she would need to build another loom. She had to ask someone for advice. It would be better to draw a style. When she did it as usual, it would probably be in the autumn."
Lu Qiuniang never thought that the husband was enlightened today, or was not stupid at all. Not only did he hear what he meant, but he even said what he had not said. He looked down at the newly made red fox boots on his feet. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He couldn't help but lean forward and pecked Yang Sanlang's face with a touch of red lips. He was about to avoid it, but Yang Sanlang grabbed him and carried him up, and walked inside. Lu Qiuniang's cheeks were slightly red, she struggled a few times, scolded him a few times, but was gently thrown on the kang.
Yang Sanlang opened his posture and was about to do something wrong, but the door outside rang, so he cursed "dogs" and got up to open the door. Lu Qiuniang also got up from the kang, tidyed her clothes and buns, and cursed with a red face: "Fresh boy! Unrestrained!"
Yang Sanlang pretended not to hear it, but when he opened the door, it was Niu Chong: "Brother Dashi asked us to come over and say there was something to discuss!" Yang Sanlang put on his outer robe and rushed with Niu.
In Guandashi's thatched hut, Wang Tongru, Hu Liu and several other group trainers whom they were familiar with were sitting. Seeing Niu Chong and Yang Sanlang coming, the group trained troops to give up a bench and asked the two to sit down. Guan Dashi was not polite: "Brother Wang, brothers, a Taoist priest came over to Shangqing Temple the day before yesterday and told him about the situation of Henan Dao. We are afraid that we have to spend more time in this mountain. We will ask everyone to come here, just to make some long-term plans."
Wang Tongru also said: "Although the old man can't recognize a few words, he still has some knowledge after his age. There are more than ten households and more than twenty families in Yangliu Villa. The villagers live in life, which is nothing more than food, clothing, living, raising, and burying. Therefore, if you want to be here for a long time, you have to go down the mountain to find supplements for some items." After hearing this, everyone felt clear and reasonable.
Guan Dashi said again: "Since I have become a master of the country, I have to take care of the livelihood of the villagers. So as Mr. Wang said, brothers, go back and rest first. When the sun goes down the mountain, we will gather at the school ground. Then everything will follow the order!" The soldiers of the group replied, "Oh--" and dispersed.
But Yang Sanlang returned to the hut and coaxed Lu Qiuniang into the inner room in the name of resting with orders. He did something wrong... The spring scenery was just about to be cute, and the afternoon was beautiful. Qiuniang blushed and shrank under the animal skin quilt. Looking at Yang Sanlang who was snoring loudly, she was neither hated nor angry. Her raised arms finally fell slowly...
At dusk, all the regiments were trained and assembled. Guan Dashi checked the stone spears on everyone's hands and said, "Brothers, let's go down the mountain now! You can go to several villages near Luoyang at about the evening. Now the bandits are increasing their troops westward. We must avoid the bandit camp and only find some food, farm tools, cooking utensils, etc. in the empty villages, and then bring them back. Before dawn, we must go back to the mountain!"
Guan Dashi said, and took out a clean wooden stick, which was slightly shorter than the chopsticks, slightly thicker in the middle, and slightly thin at both ends. Niu Chong gave it to everyone, and said, "In order to avoid any brothers making noises and expose their whereabouts, after going down the mountain, everyone bit this in their mouths and must not take it down!" Everyone answered: Yes! Guan Dashi waved his hand, and everyone quietly went down the Mangshan under the dark twilight.
When spring comes, the swallows return, and the night wind blows on his face, and it is no longer harsh. Guan Dashi and other regiments train troops and move quickly. When they go down to the foot of Mang Mountain, they sweat. After a moment of pause, the regiments train troops choose the right direction, hold wooden sticks, and form the word "man" geese formation, sneak forward in the artemisia shrouded in the night...
After walking for about an hour, I saw a deadly village sitting in a distance. Since the bandits captured Luoyang, all the villages in the suburbs have been washed away, and there have been no sounds of people. Everyone was about to move forward, and the sound of horse hooves came from the front of the left. Guan Dashi, who was running in front of the formation, immediately raised his left arm and signaled everyone not to move. After waiting for a while, the man and his horse were galloping away at about fifty steps ahead, and the sound of horse hooves gradually disappeared in the night. Guan Dashi turned around, pointed his eyes with his fingers, swung his staggered movement, indicating that the bandits had left. Then he waved his left arm and the group trained troops to touch the village.
After searching, I got some things and piled them under a tree in the north of the village. Everyone was excited and left the village and headed towards the next village... So, when I was so busy that I was approaching, Guan Dashi led the troops to train from a village, with some things on their backs. Guan Dashi then sent a cow to rush over, counted the number of people, confirmed the gathering, and turned back the same way. All the things that had been piled outside the villages were packed, and the troops were running towards Mangshan with the joy of storm.
More than an hour later, the regiments trained troops and rushed back to the foot of the mountain to stop for a while. Looking sideways, they saw a vast grave, where foxes were singing and swallowing, and the phosphorus fire was swaying, which was quite strange. Even though Guan Dashi passed by the battle formation, he felt cold on his back and hair stood up. For a moment, the regiments trained troops forgot to take off the wooden sticks in their mouths. Guan Dashi calmed down and found that two horses were tied under a pine tree a hundred steps away! The sound of the horse "现, 现" was not loud, but on such a night, it was clearly heard.
Although the trip was complete, in order to avoid being surprised that the bandits did not carry horses. At this time, the horses in front must be bandits. Yang Sanlang then came over from the side, used his hand as a knife, and made a "solve" gesture at his neck. Guan Dashi shook his head and returned a gesture, meaning "Don't alarm the snake." Then he told Niu Chong with a gesture, asking him to lead the regiments to train troops, go back to the valley from the other direction, leaving only himself, Yang Sanlang and Hu Liu and the other two, touched the possible direction and found out.
After a meal, the three of them touched a near a tomb. At this moment, the clouds disappeared and the moon appeared. The blurred moonlight shone through the dense branches and sifted on the ground, illuminating a hole on the side of the tomb. Judging from the size, it was neither a fox nor a rat. Even if you drilled into a person, you should have plenty of room. As expected, a thin rope was tied straight to a tree not far away. In the hole, a "ding dong" sound of metal and stone striking, as if there were sneaks and other actions below. Hu Liu was scared to see it, and pulled Guan Dashi, but was stopped by Guan Dashi's "silence" gesture, and then calmed down.
After observing for a long time, the skylight on the east side was getting brighter and then I saw two "things" with dirt-shaped faces coming out of the hole, holding some objects of varying radius. After careful analysis, they were undoubtedly the two bandits, but the armor was covered with a thick layer of soil, which looked like two earth rats. The ones in their hands should be the "underlying weapon" of the deceased ancestor. The three suddenly realized that it seemed that the bandits wanted to steal the tombs of their ancestors, plunder the treasures and treasures, and to serve as military expenses. These two bandits were obviously just exploring the way, otherwise they would not have to steal the tyranny of the bandits, and just rob them by robbing them!
This matter has exceeded Guan Dashi and others' expectations. With more than ten groups of trainers in Yangliu Villa, even if they want to stop it, they are afraid that they will be a mantis chariot. "It is not appropriate to have trouble at this moment, you must think of some other methods!" Guan Dashi thought this way, and gradually had some ideas in his mind. So when the bandits escaped, Guan Dashi took Yang Sanlang and Hu Liu and rushed back to the valley.
It was already dawn, and the regiments did not return to the hut, and they all waited for the three people in the valley schoolyard. When Guan Dashi saw it, he bowed and said, "Brothers, I have worked hard all night! These supplies are first concentrated in the hut of the deceased brothers Ma Zhong. When I come back, I will share them with Mr. Wang to each household! Let's go and rest!" The regiments trained and said, "Oh--" and under the guidance of Yang Sanlang and Niu Chong, they placed the supplies they found overnight in the hut where Ma Zhong lived and rested.
Guan Dashi put down the stone spear, turned over the horse, and walked quickly, looking towards Cuiyun Peak.
