Chapter 40: Fu Xiaohu's Bizarre Adventure (4)(1/2)
The two of them walked nonchalantly for a day, and finally entered Luoyang City. It happened to be night when they entered the city, and the neon lights in Luoyang City were bright, which firmly suppressed the two bumpkins.
After asking around with passers-by, they finally found the Hou Mansion. After handing over two pieces of marble, the two of them were in a bit of a dilemma.
Go back now? Or stay one night in Luoyang?
The city of Luoyang is so prosperous, and there are probably no inns that cost four coppers a night. Walking back? The two of them have been tired for the whole day, so they have to rest. Finally, Fu Xiaohu made the decision: Go back to Nantun Town now. They have enough strength to be able to
If you save, save.
On their way out of the city, they passed by Baihua Tower, and Tan Wushuang was dumbfounded by the girls in coquettish clothes waving handkerchiefs at them.
"What are you looking at?" Fu Xiaohu kicked Tan Wushuang.
"Xiaohu," Tan Wushuang stared at the girls and said blankly, "Let's take a look. You don't have to spend money just to see them."
Fu Xiaohu thought it made sense and looked in the direction of the girls. He was also stunned by this look. These girls were so beautiful, even more beautiful than Jade. There were not many young girls in Chaolan Valley, Jade
She is the most beautiful. Of course, this conclusion was secretly drawn by these bad boys. Li Fenglan is too unfeminine, Amber is too stupid, and Jade has basically no shortcomings except being indifferent to others. Therefore, Jade is more attractive than Li Fenglan in the valley
like.
In fact, the girls in Baihualou are not as beautiful as Jade, and even the famous courtesans are not as beautiful as Jade, but they can't help but dress well and dress up well. These two silly boys have never seen anything in the market. Looking at those makeup looks
Just right, the girl dressed boldly and unrestrainedly, really opened the eyes of the two of them.
In the corridor on the second floor of Baihua Building facing the street, a woman in pink with her shoulders half exposed threw a handkerchief at the passing crowd. The handkerchief fluttered and landed on Fu Xiaohu's face. He picked up the handkerchief and smelled it.
, so fragrant.
Although reluctant to leave, the two of them left Luoyang City. The prosperity of Luoyang shocked the two of them. Until they left the city and walked in the deserted wilderness, Fu Xiaohu seemed to still be able to hear the noisy sounds in his ears.
There were the cries of vendors and the laughter and curses of pedestrians. Of course, the noisiest thing was the warm and soft words of the girls from Baihualou soliciting customers.
Fu Xiaohu whispered: "I heard Zheng Beifeng say yesterday that the oiran of Baihualou can't use twenty taels of silver in one night."
Tan Wushuang said with yearning: "Twenty taels? Not expensive."
Still a little reluctant to leave, the two of them walked very slowly. Not far ahead, there was an ox cart driving slowly. It could be seen that there was a family of four on the ox cart, but I didn't know what they were doing so late.
It was not safe on the road at night, so in order not to make others afraid, the two of them followed him from a distance.
Suddenly, a group of people jumped out of the bushes beside the road. What they had in their hands were steel knives. The family in the oxcart was so frightened that the female family members screamed again and again.
Fu Xiaohu pulled Tan Wushuang over and hid in the woods nearby.
"Xiaohu, this is... the way of robbery!"
"Shh," Fu Xiaohu said, "keep your voice down."
"No, don't we want to be heroes? Let's go and save that family quickly. The old man in the valley said that there are no masters in robbing families, so we don't have to be afraid."
Fu Xiaohu shook his head and said: "I think these robbers are experienced people. They should have done many things. They don't know how to kill people. If they wanted to kill people, they would have done it when they rushed out just now. Let's wait and wait for them.
Once we succeed, let's follow up and raid their hometown."
"What if...they have a lot of people at home?"
"It's so close to Luoyang, there won't be any big bandits, and the number of people will definitely not be too many. Even if there are many, are you afraid? The four of them, Li Fenglan, dare to break into the Songshan sect, which has about a hundred people."
These words stimulated Tan Wushuang. There was fire in his heart and light in his eyes, as if he could rush into the bandit's lair and destroy the bandits in the next moment.
After a while, the robbers succeeded, beat the men of the family, carried the grain and pulled the ox cart back to the woods. At this time, Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang rushed over to help.
Fu Xiaohu asked: "Are you okay?"
As we got closer, we could clearly see a family of four, a middle-aged man, a young man, a young woman, and a little girl. It seemed that the couple took their daughter and father to Luoyang City to buy things, and they came back late.
Robbed by gangsters.
The middle-aged man burst into tears: "Our family's winter goods are all on the bullock cart. How can we live like this?"
Fu Xiaohu took out the copper coins in his arms and handed them to the middle-aged man: "You take the money first, and we will help you get your things back. Where do you live?"
The middle-aged man looked at the coins blankly. These coins were definitely not enough for the family to eat and drink. He said blankly: "Who are you two?"
Tan Wushuang smiled and said: "We are heroes. Uncle, please tell me where you live so we can catch up and send your things back to you, and the thieves will be gone in a while."
The middle-aged man was hesitant and gave his address.
Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang stopped talking and chased the robbers in the direction they left.
It didn't take long before they caught up with the robbers. They were leading a bullock cart and couldn't walk very fast. They followed the robbers and jumped on the treetops. There were eight robbers in total.
He was a practicing martial artist, but his martial arts skills were mediocre, and he didn't even notice the two big living people above his head.
I followed them for more than an hour, up a hill, and turned several turns on the top of the hill. Finally, I stopped in front of a village surrounded by mountains on three sides. The village was not large, with more than fifty people living there at most.
It looks quite shabby.
Fu Xiaohu was very excited and his hands were shaking constantly. Tan Wushuang was also about the same.
Those people opened the gate of the village and walked in one after another. When everyone went in, the gate of the village was closed from the inside. They observed carefully and found that no one was standing guard and it was very dark in the village.
"Xiaohu, let's do it."
"good!"
The two jumped off the branch, rose and fell on the flat ground, and flew into the low wooden fence. Although their dexterity skills were not as good as Li Fenglan's and others, they were not bad. There was no sound when they landed. The robbers who were dividing the property did not hear it at all.
Notice them.
Fu Xiaohu shouted: "You thieves! You dare to block the road and rob someone in broad daylight! I will do justice to God."
The robbers were very puzzled. First, where did these two people come from? Second, what in broad daylight? Where could the sun be seen here?
There are more than 20 people in this bandit village who can hold knives. Did these two stupid young men eat something unclean? Two against twenty? Not to mention that the leader of the bandit village is a master, and there are two martial arts masters at noon.
The people came looking for death, but were beaten and kidnapped by the boss.
The robbers were not hesitant and attacked the two of them with their knives.
Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang were good at martial arts, but they had never fought with anyone before, and they didn't have weapons in their hands. They were a little confused when they fought. This was slightly different from what they imagined. However, the two of them didn't mess around for long, and they got used to it.
After that, the robbers began to retreat steadily.
The two of them didn't kill each other, they just had to fight until they could get up. After a little effort, there were only three robbers left standing. The three robbers looked at Fu Xiaohu and the others, trembling.
At this moment, a deep voice came from inside the bandit village.
"Who broke into the stronghold?!"
When the three robbers saw their savior, they hurriedly shouted: "The boss! There are two juniors who don't know how to live or die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Xiaohu saw a majestic black shadow like a man and a bear rushing towards them, and the two hurriedly fought. This burly man practiced horizontal kung fu and was quite accomplished.
It's not on the same level at all. But that's it. With the joint efforts of Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang, they were restrained in less than ten rounds.
Now, the robbers were dumbfounded. The boss was a master, couldn't even defeat him?
The leader of the bandit village was also very surprised. Are these two young men a bit too good at kung fu? They couldn't be the favored sons of some famous and upright family, right?
Fu Xiaohu looked at the bandits lying on the ground and was about to say something. Suddenly, a group of women and children rushed out from various cabins in the bandits' village. They blocked the bandits. But it was too dark.
Fu Xiaohu couldn't see their expressions clearly.
Unexpectedly, the bandits lying on the ground became angry.
"You're from a girl's house! Who asked you to come out! Go back to me!"
"Go back to the house and lie down! You're a loser!"
Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang were confused. Where did this come from? They had read many Jianghu picture books, but none of them mentioned that there were female dependents in the village? These women...were the dependents of these bandits?
The women did not leave. One of the leaders, a middle-aged woman, suddenly knelt down and said with a cry: "Two heroes! Please do your best! Don't kill us!"
The bandit leader stood up angrily, pulled the middle-aged woman behind him, and roared: "Why are you joining in the fun?! Get back here!"
The middle-aged woman grabbed the bandit leader's hand hard and begged: "Master, please don't be so stubborn. Let's admit our mistakes to the two young heroes! Our lives are at stake!"
"What do you girls know?! Get out of here! I will be a man even to death! I will never give in!"
"Hmph," Fu Xiaohu sneered, "Man? What kind of man do you think you are if you are robbing families and homes?"
"Hmph," the leader of the bandit village sneered, "The world is difficult and we are just asking for food. If you want to kill or chop me, please feel free to do so, no need to say more!"
Fu Xiaohu found a stone pier and sat down. He spoke slowly: "The family that you robbed just now had their winter goods on the oxcart. Without these things, their family of four will starve to death."
The leader of the bandit village said: "Without these things, all of us in the village will starve to death."
"You have hands and feet. As long as you are willing to work, you will not starve to death. Why do you benefit yourself at the expense of others?"
"If you are not forced to do anything, who will become a bandit? If you have a good livelihood, who will go to the mountains to become a bandit? You are good at martial arts, poor in culture and military, maybe you are a young master from a noble family, do you understand us low-level Jianghu people?
Among us, some of our families were wiped out by our enemies, and some of us were forced to have no choice but to give reasons. Each of us has a reason."
Fu Xiaohu pointed at the dirty clothes on his body and asked with a smile: "Do you think I look like a young man from a noble family?"
The leader of the bandit village said: "If he is not a rich man, he is also a disciple of some sect."
Fu Xiaohu was silent. It was not that he had nothing to say. When he was a child, he was forced to read by the elders in the valley, and he understood a lot of the principles in the books. But is it useful? God is unfair, and the world is dark. He just entered the world for two days, and he
He was deceived twice, each time giving him a new understanding of the world.
There is one thing that he is sure is right no matter what time it comes, and that is: this world is not black and white.
