Chapter 77: Hongmen Banquet
After hearing Mo Yan and Mo Yu's words, Su Muwan finally straightened the matter and began to think about a solution in her mind, how to deal with this group of bandits without any effort.
At this time, a knock on the door came from the gate, but the sound was not loud, as if I was afraid that people would hear it.
Could it be that the thieves are back? Mo Yu and Xiao Liu looked at each other.
The guards in the courtyard held the swords tightly beside them. Someone stepped forward to open the door, but a thin figure stood at the door.
That person is Xiao Lei?
He walked straight to the yard, looked at Su Muwan, and said slowly: "I know you are good people. I heard them say they dare not fight against you. They will give you medicine tomorrow. You can hurry up and leave quickly, otherwise they will not give up."
"Xiaolei, why are you with them?" This is what Su Muwan has always been curious about. How could Xiaolei, a child, follow Xie Da and the others?
When Xiaolei's eyes seemed to be trapped in memories when he heard Su Muwan's question.
"Two years ago, our family passed by here by chance. My sister was taken by Xie Da at first sight, so they tied our family to the mountain with the intention of forcing my sister. In order to protect my sister, my parents were beaten to death by them. After my sister was insulted, she learned the news of her parents' death and hanged herself. Seeing that I was young, they kept me doing some chores on the mountain."
"Xiao Lei, then you..."
Su Muwan originally wanted to ask him why he didn't escape, but stayed with the thief.
But I saw that the spark suddenly ignited in Xiaolei's eyes, "They killed my family, and I stayed by their side. The reason for living is to avenge my parents and sister one day. I must kill all the lives of this group of dog thieves one by one!"
Su Muwan was silent. She didn't know how to persuade Xiao Lei, who regarded hatred as the driving force for life, because she was the same. She and her youngest son in her previous life were killed, and revenge had become her biggest obsession for living for the rest of her life.
So facing this child whose eyes were flashing with the fire of revenge, Su Muwan didn't know what to say.
"But you are different. You should escape from the village as soon as possible. I know you can leave, don't come to this muddy water."
Xiaolei advised Su Muwan with a serious face. His voice was a little hoarse, which made people feel that he was not only a child.
Su Muwan shook her head and said word by word: "Xiaolei, we won't leave now. We still have to save the people in this village. This group of thieves can no longer let them continue to harm people."
"So I hope you can help us and also treat it as helping yourself."
Xiaolei thought for a while, "Okay, I just have a condition. I will take Xie Da's life with my own hands to avenge my family of three!"
Su Muwan nodded. If this could make him let go of his hatred, then promise him. She took Xiaolei and others to the house together.
"Then how can I help you?" Xiaolei asked anxiously.
"You tell us all the news you know about this group of thieves." Su Muwan has not yet found out the number of this group of people and who is supporting him.
Xiaolei said everything he knew: "This group of people used to be on the nearby Heifeng Mountain. The village was called Heifeng Village. There were 60 or 70 people in total. The six brothers of Xie were the ones who were the most skilled in martial arts. They had never done anything big except occasionally going down the mountain to grab some passers-by's money to buy money from passing merchants.
But a few months ago, someone suddenly sent a letter to Xie Da. After reading it, he became more and more unruly and became more courageous. He used to only rob some people who were single, but later someone passed by the SLR and left some money."
"The letter? Who wrote it for him?" Su Muwan was very curious. What was written in the letter? She actually made Xie Dada bolder.
Xiaolei shook his head, "I don't know, but later there were several letters that were put in his house on the mountain by Xie Da. Usually he did not allow anyone to go inside."
When Su Muwan heard the letter was still there, she breathed a sigh of relief. She asked again: "How many people are guarding this village now?"
"There are not many people on the mountain, but there are more than 40 people at the foot of the mountain, most of whom are guarding the village entrance. The rest basically follow Xie San and the others, robbing passers-by on the road during the day. However, they leave on weekdays when they ask for some money. When they occasionally meet big families, they will find a way to take them to the village and rob them all."
There is no doubt that Su Muwan and her group naturally enjoyed the treatment of a big family that Xiaolei mentioned.
After hearing what Xiaolei said, Su Muwan probably had a solution in her mind. She called a group of people to her side, kept her voice down, and explained her plans to them.
the next day.
Early in the morning, Xie San urged two women to bring back last night to start washing rice and vegetables, and let them cook a good meal.
As for Xiaolei, who cares about him? What can a little kid do?
As noon approached, Su Muwan brought Xiao Liu and others to say goodbye to Xie Da, "Thank you for your hospitality, but my parents in the capital are still thinking about me. They should go on the road as soon as possible and go home as soon as possible. However, if you have the chance in the future, you will definitely come here again to gather with your brothers."
Xie Da heard what he said sounded nicely, but he was cold in his heart. Boy, I will send you on the road later, Huangquan Road!
But he looked apologized, "Young Master, I'm really sorry. Although everyone in the village went to help this morning, the road was probably not repaired until the afternoon."
"So that?" Su Muwan frowned.
Xie Da said again: "Why not do this? Prince Wang, I see you didn't have dinner last night. Why not stay here for a few of us brothers to have a meal later. After the meal, the road will be repaired and we can see you off."
"That's so troublesome for everyone. Let's eat the dry food we brought with us." Su Muwan refused.
This time, Xie Da couldn't have eaten her own dry food and put on an expression of anger.
"No trouble, no trouble. Now the women who have good cooking skills in the village are almost ready. Mr. Wang is not disgusted."
Su Muwan shook her head quickly, "How can this happen? Since the elder brother invites you warmly, we should be respectful and obedient."
"That's right. Prince Wang might as well bring his younger brothers and sisters and a few younger brothers together, let's have a lively meal together."
Xie Da was still worried about Xiao Liu's beauty, how could he miss her? And those two masters, the main purpose of this meal was to subdue the two of them.
Su Muwan pretended to go back and brought Xiao Liu back to the yard where she lived.
"Are you all ready?" Su Muwan looked at the person in the yard.
Everyone nodded, "Don't worry, Princess, we are all ready."
"Okay, when we are ready, we will go and explore the Hongmen Banquet!"
Where is the ancestral hall.
Xie San sat on a stool and waited for the two women to cook. These two people made it in the morning, and it was indeed much better than the ones Xiaolei made.
At this moment, he was basking in the sun, thinking about the feeling of pressing the man under him last night,
Feel extremely comfortable.
Thinking about the elder brother agreed and left Su Muwan to him, Xie San wanted to pass quickly and that the little face would be his own after dinner.
At this time, the food was ready, and Xie San asked someone to take the two of them away.
He stood in front of the food with a sweat pill in his hand and thought about it. He couldn't medicine every dish. In order not to make them suspicious, his group of people always had to take a few bites, so they picked up a few pieces and added medicine and stirred them.
In the corner, Xiaolei saw his every move clearly. He was originally small and had been hidden behind the rice bag for a whole morning without anyone being discovered.
When she saw Xie San ask someone to bring the food out, Xiaolei took the opportunity to run out and came to Su Muwan's residence. He told Su Muwan all the dishes that Xie San had given medicine.
Then, as Su Muwan ordered, he caught up with the bandits who escorted the two women.
"Brother Ermao, Brother Big Head, let me go up the mountain with you. I haven't been up the mountain for a long time."
The two bandits and Xiaolei were familiar with each other, so they nodded and agreed. The three of them took the two women toward Heifeng Mountain.
When they got to a place, two people suddenly jumped out of the front and unexpectedly knocked the two bandits out. They were sent by Su Muwan to pick up Xiaolei.
They quickly put on the clothes of two bandits and followed Xiaolei up the mountain to save the women and children in the village.
When Su Muwan and his friends arrived late, Xie Da and his brothers had already sat at the dinner table and waited.
The Hongmen Banquet begins now!
Xie San had already told his brother in advance which dishes were added to the ingredients, so they all avoided those dishes very well at this time.
But Su Muwan and others just didn't stretch their chopsticks into those dishes, and Xie Da was almost anxious.
"Young Master Wang, try this mushroom stuffed with small flower mushrooms. This is the local feature of our Qingcheng City. This kind of small flower mushroom can only be eaten at this time and the taste is very fresh." Xie Da tried his best to recommend a dish to Su Muwan.
Su Muwan was disgusted, "Brother Xie, I never eat mushrooms."
Don’t eat mushrooms, right? I don’t believe you won’t eat anything else.
Xie Da pointed at a chestnut stewed chicken again, "This chestnut stewed chicken is also a seasonal dish today. It is stewed and glutinous. You can try it."
Su Muwan didn't say anything this time. She picked up a chopstick into the bowl and was about to deliver it to her mouth, but for some reason she put down the chopsticks again.
"A few brothers, I, Mr. Wang, are traveling abroad and have not met someone as enthusiastic as you. I am so touched."
After saying that, Su Muwan suddenly stood up, "I have nothing else, I have only one treasure to give to a few older brothers." Then she reached her hand into her sleeve and took out a black object.
The thieves stared at Su Muwan's hand with their eyes. They wanted to see clearly what it was, but naturally they didn't notice the movements of Mo Yan and the others at the table.
