I want to cultivate swordsman

At noon, when the sun was rising overhead, Xu Zhiqiu and the others finally walked out of Wangxian Mountain.

Compared with when we came, the descent went smoothly and nothing happened.

After the few people came near the official road at the foot of the mountain, they found a place to wait. According to the original agreement, there would be people driving a carriage to patrol the vicinity every day to meet them. After all, they didn't know when they would come out. .

While waiting, Catcher Xing and his two subordinates ate some grain cakes to satisfy their hunger, and at the same time broke a part and handed it to the mouths of the two hunters. One of them didn't wake up, but the other young one woke up and ate it. A few mouthfuls.

Xing Butou asked the hunter what was going on, the man slept and ate some grain cakes, and recovered some strength, he stammered and reluctantly told the story.

It turned out that this man was called Wang Dazhu, and because he spent a lot of money and gambled, he owed a lot of debts. His wife and children couldn't bear to run away, so he followed his uncle to Wang Xianshan to wander around, thinking that he could earn some hard money and marry another daughter in law.

They originally planned to stay in Wangxian Mountain for seven days before going back, but suddenly a heavy snowfall disrupted the plan. The heavy snow blocked the mountain, which not only covered the road conditions, but also caused the temperature to drop suddenly. They had no choice but to rush all night, but they finally left. Crossed the route and ran to the female ghost.

At first they didn't know that there were ghosts, and they were all fascinated. When they saw a house, they wanted to go inside to keep warm, and they could have a bowl of hot rice by the way. Moreover, the three hostesses in the house Extremely enthusiastic, it is inevitable that people can't hold it.

As a result, in the middle of the night, just as Wang Dazhu fell asleep in a daze, his uncle slapped him awake. Seeing this, he was so startled that he was sweating all over. There were three companions lying on the bed, but the one on the innermost side was slapped by the woman. The ghost pressed down and sucked up the yang energy, making it look like a mummy.

Wang Dazhu's uncle was supposed to be sucked by a female ghost, but the yellow talisman hidden in his clothes saved his life. Everyone in their business knew that there were ghosts and ghosts in Wangxian Mountain, so they went to Xuanyun to observe and pray for it. Zhang's life-saving talisman was used, and it really worked. Wang Dazhu's uncle woke up and immediately woke up Wang Dazhu, dragging him and running away.

After running for a mile, the two of them suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, and finally passed out. This was because they drank the meat porridge earlier. When they woke up, their bodies were numb. After climbing out for a mile, he really lost his strength, so he covered his body with nearby weeds and passed out again. When Wang Dazhu woke up again, he saw Xing Tutou.

After listening to Wang Dazhu's narration, Xing Butou sighed and said, "You really want money and don't care about your life. You dare to rush into a place like Wangxian Mountain. If it weren't for the company of Xu Xianren, all of us would be killed." go in."

Wang Dazhu thanked him gratefully, and then asked Xing Butou about his companion, Xing Butou didn't hide anything, he hesitated for a while, and then told him what he saw, although Wang Dazhu had already expected the result in his heart, but listened After I finished, I still couldn't help but shed a few tears. The only thing I can rejoice is that I and my uncle are still alive.

Half an hour later, a carriage stopped in front of the crowd along the official road. The man who acted as the groom was Zhao Shugen, the county government catcher. Walked out from Wangxian Mountain.

Zhao Shugen got off the carriage and said to Butou Xing: "Boss, it seems that your trip went well, and you came out so soon."

Xing Butou didn't open his mouth, and Xiao Wu, the fast catcher, said angrily: "It was only when your mother gave birth to you, and we almost died in it."

Zhao Shugen was not angry when he was scolded, he glanced at Wang Dazhu and his uncle lying on the ground, and asked, "Why are there only two?"

Catcher Xing replied, "Everyone else is dead." Then he and his subordinates carried Wang Dazhu into the carriage, and the carriage started to drive back along the official road. When they entered the gate of Lin'an County, Wang Dazhu endured the pain. He couldn't stop crying, until this time, he felt that he had completely survived.

When approaching Wutong Street, Xu Zhiqiu got out of the carriage ahead of time, and didn't plan to go to the county government office with Xing Butou and others.

Catcher Xing became anxious immediately, and hurriedly said: "Xu Xianren, you are our savior, and you are also a great hero this time, how can you go home now?"

Quick catcher Xiao Liu also poked his head out and said: "Immortal, let's go to the county government with us. If the county lord knows about you, he will definitely give you a banquet and reward you."

Xu Zhiqiu had no interest in setting up banquets and awarding rewards. He didn't like trouble, and he didn't like to show off, so he just asked Catcher Xing to send the reward to Wutong Street.Catcher Xing said a few more words, seeing that Xu Zhiqiu had made up his mind, he had to agree, and promised that the reward would be more.

After the carriage left, Xu Zhiqiu went back to Wutong Street alone. The biscuit seller Wu Xunqi was talking to someone and didn't notice him. The butcher Zhang Quande was busy in his yard and didn't notice him. Widow Pan saw Xu Zhiqiu's back.

Widow Pan hastily put down the spoon in her hand, and beckoned to Xu Zhiqiu, "Young Master Xu, is everything going well?"

She knew that Xu Zhiqiu had gone to Wangxian, and seeing that he came back so early, she hurriedly asked.

Xu Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Well, it's pretty smooth."

Widow Pan immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, do you want to eat a bowl of stewed tofu?"

"No, if I come to my sister's place to eat tofu another day, I have to go back and assure my aunt that I'm safe." Xu Zhiqiu said with a smile, and then walked towards the small courtyard of the second uncle's house.

In the yard, my aunt was busy drying clothes. When she saw her nephew coming back, she was taken aback for a moment, then wiped her hands and asked, "Why did you come back so soon?"

Xu Zhiqiu said the matter again, and ignored some dangerous things in order to prevent his aunt from worrying.

When my aunt heard that only two people came back alive, she sighed and said that it was all fate, and then asked Xu Zhiqiu about the reward, and when she learned that Catcher Xing would send it over, she was dissatisfied and said, "You should also go to the county government office." , What if those people who eat rice withheld your reward money? They have done a lot of things."

Xu Zhiqiu thought about it, and felt that Xing Butou and the others probably wouldn't do this.

Sure enough, Xing Tutou, who usually likes to take advantage of things, didn't dare to have other ideas this time, so he personally delivered the reward in the evening, a total of 30 taels, double the 15 taels that he had said at the beginning.

My aunt looked at the 30 taels of silver in vain, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.Second Uncle Xu earned at most ten taels a year, but it would be good to save two taels in the end after throwing it away for food and clothing. It would take many years to save the 30 taels.
