Chapter 4 Wild Rose (2)

Shi Tianji also leaned over.

"Old Shi, you two are responsible for the ground. When I go to the air, let's give him a 'dumpling'!" Shi Lang said to Shi Tianji.

"Don't worry, brother, grandma, no one can escape alive!" Seeing a woman being attacked by a group of evil men, Shi Tianji would angrily draw his sword to help even without the commander's order.

As the two of them spoke, the second wave of attack from the knife hand began.

Shi Lang glanced at a rock two meters away, stepped forward, took advantage of the momentum, and squatted, his body soared into the air, and then a kite turned over, and his body was already above the knife hands.

"Brush, brush..." Shi Lang flew over and swung around the air with the elasticity of the tree trunk, and used the embroidered spring knife in his hand to cut off the ropes that were clapped by more than a dozen knife hands one by one.

"Pu, pu..." More than a dozen knives fell from the air like dumplings.

"Your grandma's, your grandma's..." Shi Tianji kept cursing, while raising his mace. After a while, more than a dozen sword hands were sent to the West by Shi Tianji and the woman.

Shi Lang jumped out of the air.

"Old Shi, you are moving fast enough, so don't leave me a few." Shi Lang said to Shi Tianji.

"As soon as I saw these turtle grandchildren, I was so angry that I didn't want to send them all to see the King of Hell at once." Shi Tianji said gritting his teeth.

"Thank you, the two benefactors, for helping you!" The woman clasped her fists and thanked her, and at the same time, she squeezed her eyes mysteriously at Shi Lang.

Shi Lang smiled knowingly.

"'Iron Arm Divine Ape' is indeed well-known!" Du Heng followed Luo Shiyin from the slope. He was obviously impressed by Shi Lang's kung fu just now.

"Where is where, it's just a trick of carving insects." Shi Lang said modestly.

"Shi Lang's light skills are very impressive." Luo Shiyin walked to Shi Lang and the woman to praise Shi Lang.

"This is my...Brother. These are my brothers." Shi Lang introduced Luo Shise and other members of the team to the woman. Without Luo Shise's permission, Shi Lang did not rashly introduce Luo Shise's true identity to the woman.

"Thank you all for your help!" The woman quickly glanced at Luo Shiyin and others, and then bowed and thanked her.

"Big girl, why do they kill you?" Shi Tianji asked the woman quickly.

"This matter is a long story, and it will be difficult to explain it in a while." The woman did not directly answer Shi Tianji.

"The female hero is very skilled and is definitely not an ordinary person." Luo Shiyin said to the woman.

Looking at Luo Shiyin's cold gaze, Shi Lang was extremely nervous. He quickly considered the possible situations and his response strategies.

Yes, the woman in black in front of me was the leader of the Salt Gang who Shi Lang had let go privately, Ye Ruliu, known as the wild rose. Shi Lang vaguely felt from Luo Shiyin's words and deeds that he had recognized Ye Ruliu in front of me. What would the commander do next? Shi Lang couldn't guess for a while. However, judging from the commander's move that the commander ordered him to rescue Ye Ruliu just now, perhaps the commander had no malicious intentions towards Ye Ruliu. As a confidant who had been through life and death with Luo Shiyin for many years, Shi Lang would always make good speculations and judgments about his immediate boss' words and deeds.

"My dear is too much. The little woman is just a wild woman from the mountain. She has learned a little bit of kung fu from her family since she was a child to defend herself." Ye Ruliu felt the embarrassment of the current situation from Shi Lang's nervous eyes. Facing Luo Shiyin's forcing eyes, she answered calmly.

"Haha, okay. The heroine not only has great skills, but also has a free and appropriate response. I don't know where the heroine's home is?" Luo Shiyin obviously appreciated Ye Ruliu's performance. He hoped to further understand the heroine's hero who was famous and made his most capable subordinate, Shi Lang, risked his beheading and helped him.

Shi Lang relaxed a little more nervous. His behavior of privately releasing Ye Ruliu violated the court's laws. The commander not only did not blame him, but instead rescued him from the prison in Dongchang. At this time, Shi Lang secretly decided: Taking advantage of this opportunity to meet Ye Ruliu again, he must confess to the commander the process and reason for privately releasing Ye Ruliu to the commander.

"Since my benefactors are my life-saviors, I don't need to hide it. There is a Shigang Village at the top of Qinglan Peak. I am the leader of Shigang Village." Ye Ruliu replied.

After listening to Ye Ruliu's report to his house, Shi Lang suddenly observed Luo Shiyin's reaction nervously.

"It seems that there are really hidden dragons and creeping tigers in Changbai Mountain." Luo Shiyin had no expression on his face.

"My kindness is so great, but it's just that some rural mountain people are in a corner and are looking for some life." Ye Ruliu said calmly.

"Shi Lang, you see it's too late. Can we stay in the heroine's cottage for a night?" Luo Shiyin turned around and asked Shi Lang.

"..." Shi Lang couldn't understand the true intention of the commander for a while.

"No problem. Look, there are barren mountains and wilderness nearby, and there is no other place to stay. If the benefactors don't dislike it, they might as well sit in our village. The little girl can also prepare a little wine to express her gratitude." Before Shi Lang could speak, Ye Ruliu said first.

Ye Ruliu clearly felt a kindness from Luo Shiyin's words, and she agreed readily. Of course, a large part of the reason why Ye Ruliu sent an invitation to the small team members so readily was also due to her sweetheart Shi Lang. Unexpectedly, after many separations, she met again in this wilderness mountain and ridge, Ye Ruliu wished she could not immediately invite Shi Lang to the village to tell the pain of parting.

Ye Ruliu had already judged Luo Shiyin's identity from Shi Lang's words just now. Of course, she also felt that Luo Shiyin had seen her true identity. For Shi Lang's situation, if only Luo Shiyin and Shi Lang were there, she would calmly explain to Luo Shiyin the identity of the leader of the Salt Gang and try to exonerate Shi Lang's crimes. She would rather take all the charges on her, and she would not want her beloved to suffer the consequences of guilt. However, there were other people she was not familiar with on the scene. Without knowing the identity of the other party's personnel, Ye Ruliu still was not convenient to act rashly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Shi Lang.

"Okay, the brothers have been walking on the mountain road for a day and are a little tired. It's okay to go to the mountain village to rest." Luo Shiyin said readily.

"My benefactors, please." Ye Ruliu saw Luo Shiyin agreeing, looked at Shi Lang quickly with a cheerful look, and then happily walked forward to lead the way.

The group walked towards Shigangzhai.

It took me nearly half an hour to reach Shigang Village. The village looked small and was located at the top of a mountain. A narrow path leads from the bottom of the peak to the top.

"The village master has such a good eye. He chose such a good place. It can be said that the mountains are dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack!" Luo Shiyin said to Ye Ruliu, who was walking in front of the way with an admiration.

"My benefactor is too rewarded!" Ye Ruliu said modestly.

While talking, several people climbed to the top of the peak and came to the gate of Shigang Village.

The east, south and west directions of the mountain village are ring-shaped walls built with stones, and the north side is a cliff. The gate of the mountain village faces south, and a wooden horizontal plaque is hung above the lintel. The plaque contains four big words "Take the danger and help the poor". About half a meter in front of the door ridge is a nine-level stone step, and below the steps is a wider platform.

It was already dark at this time.

"Brothers, there are guests tonight, hurry up and serve wine!" Ye Ruliu ordered to his men standing at the door and rushing.

When the sentry heard the order, he quickly ran inside to prepare.

The banquet was placed in the lobby of the village. Although the dishes on the table were not as high-end as those in the capital, they were also filled with unique mountain delicacies and wild game in the mountains.

In addition to the female leader of the village, there were several leaders in the village.

"Thank you to the rescue of all the benefactors, there are no delicacies in the mountains and fields, so I can only prepare some wine and treasures to express my gratitude. I will first to toast the five benefactors!" After the female leader said that, he drank cheers and drank wine with pleasure.

"Since the village leader is so kind, don't be too polite. Come on, let's drink it together." Luo Shiyin said to several subordinates.

"Okay, drink, drink!" Shi Tianji was the most happy. As soon as Luo Shiyin finished speaking, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup.

"Brother seems to be a cheerful person, so I'll give you a drink first!" Ye Ruliu saw that Luo Shiyin was speaking with pleasure, so she took the lead in to toasting Luo Shiyin.

"Thank you for your kindness from the village leader." Luo Shiyin happily drank the wine in the middle of the wine.

Ye Ruliu had a good amount of wine. After toasting Luo Shiyin, he walked to Shi Tianji, Shi Lang, Du Heng and Xie Yuan to toast. When toasting Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu had a little tenderness in her eyes. She gently approached Shi Lang and whispered: "Brother Shi Lang, I haven't seen you for many days. I wish you!"

"Okay." Looking at each other, Shi Lang felt a sense of tenderness in his heart.

The two of them gently touched the wine glasses and each took a sip of the wine in the glasses.

Ye Ruliu finished drinking at Shi Lang, returned to her seat, and said to the men present: "Brothers, I was attacked by Qu Da's subordinates in the mountains and forests just now. Thanks to these benefactors who helped me to save them, I was able to get the danger into safety. Everyone should treat my savior well and toast them with a few more glasses of wine."

After hearing Ye Ruliu's orders, her subordinates naturally did not dare to neglect and stood up to toast the members of the team.

Several leaders in the village were also drinkers. As the saying goes, when you meet a close friend, you can drink a thousand cups, and eight or nine generous men gathered at the table. It was really a scramble and it was very lively. Shi Tianji was even more enthusiastic with the second village leader and Gui in the village. The two of them played the tricks and refused to give in to each other. In the end, both of them got drunk. One lay on the table and slept soundly, and the other slipped out to the bottom of the table and snored like thunder.

"I think it's getting late, and I'll have to rush to go tomorrow. Please arrange your residence for the heroine." Seeing that she had enough wine and meals, Luo Shiyin said to Ye Ruliu.

"I have asked them to clean up the room. My benefactor might as well drink a few more drinks." Ye Ruliu said.

"I can't drink any more. If I drink more, with the heroine's alcohol, I'm afraid we will find it difficult to get on the way tomorrow." Luo Shiyin said.

"Okay, if the hospitality is not good, I hope I will forgive you." Seeing that Luo Shiyin was determined, Ye Ruliu stopped forcing her. She stood up and led the small team members to the wing room on the east side to the rest.

"My benefactors, have a good rest. If you have any needs, come to the room to find me." After settling down the beds of the small team members, Ye Ruliu was about to leave. While she was talking, she quickly gave Shi Lang a affectionate glance.

Shi Lang immediately understood the deep affection and expectation contained in Ye Ruliu's gaze. He nodded to Ye Ruliu affectionately, and tacitly understood each other.

Saying Ye Ruliu, Shi Tianji, Du Heng and Xie Yuan immediately fell on the kang to sleep.

Luo Shiyin walked out of the wing room and came to the platform in front of the village gate.

The hum of crickets came from time to time from time to time from the grass on the edge of the platform. The whole village showed extremely quiet in the mountains.

At this time, Shi Lang walked over and stood quietly behind Luo Shiyin, as if he had something to say to Luo Shiyin.

"'Wild Rose' is really skillful." Before Shi Lang could speak, Luo Shiyin spoke first.

"Sir, you can't hide anything from your eyes." Shi Lang's tone was full of apology.

"Actually, in the woods during the day, when she pulled out the unique 'deadly rose thorn' from the world from the rivers and lakes, I concluded that she was Ye Ruliu, the leader of the Luzhou Salt Gang in Zhejiang, known as 'wild rose' in the rivers and lakes." Luo Shiyin spoke very slowly.

"Yes, it's her. I came out with you, and I also wanted to tell you why I let her go privately last year." Shi Lang felt deeply guilty.

"Actually, I know a little about this. I have also heard some of the various remarks about Ye Ruliu in the world. When I saw him today, he was indeed well-known. I have some new ideas about this legendary woman. You might as well tell me about her situation in detail." Luo Shiyin did not have any intention of blame Shi Lang.

"Okay, sir, please sit down. Wait for me to tell you in detail." Shi Lang pointed to the stone bench in front of him and said to Luo Shiyin.
