Chapter 4 Black Cloud Village

On a hill four or five miles away from Baiyang, two or thirty houses of various sizes are distributed in an orderly manner on the hill. In the middle, there is a two-story wooden building, with five chairs placed on the left and right in the hall. On it is a huge tiger-skin seat, with a plaque hanging in the middle, with the words "Juyi Hall" written on it. There is a weapon stand on both sides of the door, and there are all kinds of swords, guns, swords and halberds. At this time, seven or eight burly men in the hall were arguing fiercely.

"Brother, there are only two of us. Let's go down and just a few of us will do it. Otherwise, I can get some food if I take them there. Look at my brothers, many of us haven't eaten for two days, and chaos will happen."

"How did the fourth brother speak? My elder brother always advocated robbing the rich and helping the poor and practicing the way for heaven. Why can't I stand being hungry? At that time, my brothers didn't see that you were so cowardly when they burned incense and became sworn brothers. If you did this, what do other colleagues think of us? What do the villagers in the surrounding villages think of us? And the prestige we have accumulated will be destroyed."

"Okay, stop talking about the third brother. The fourth brother is also afraid that his brothers will not be able to stand hungry. He has always been stubborn. What are you going to care about with him?"

"Okay, don't argue anymore. We can't do this. And before that point, Junshi Jia, Lao Liu and Lao Qi have been out for more than half a month, and they should be coming back soon."

"The brothers on the mountain are hungry for half a day, but if they know that we are robbing the people, a big thing will happen. They are all from the surrounding villages, all of which are for the name of being a hero and righteous for so many years. Doing so will make the brothers feel cold. If you bear it, Lao Jiu and Xiao Shi will ask the brothers to boil some water for the brothers to drink some water."

"What benefits can the two of them do if they really robbed this time? What's the benefit of more than 400 people? And they can't get this, otherwise they'll wipe it out from my heart in the future." Looking at the bustling quarrels in the hall, a black bearded man sitting in the top of the head patted the table and scolded him.

After hearing the big man's words, everyone calmed down. The two young men sitting near the door looked at everyone and bowed to the door. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and started talking about other things again.

It seems that these people are still true and just talking about the matter, and don’t take any attention to the big man’s scolding everyone.

"Brother Jiu, why don't we go down the mountain to see those two people. If we really have food, we will lend them a little. I'm so hungry that I'm so hungry." One of the two young men walking outside said to the other, with a tender face full of expectations.

The remaining young man looked much more calm and said to him: "Xiao Shi, you can't endure the most. You only know how to make trouble. Junshi Jia, Brother Six, Brother Seven, and Brother Seven are probably coming back soon. Let's not make any trouble. If you have money that day, I will take you to Changshan County. That place is good. Now let's listen to my elder brother, go and cook some hot water and see if there is anything to eat around."

"Brother Jiu, go and see it. It's not far away. It's been a long time since no one has left this road. Let's go and see it, but we won't steal it. Maybe there's really surplus food. Let's solve the big problem for brother and the others."

Seeing Xiao Shi say this, Lao Jiu thought for a while and whispered: "Okay, then go and have a look, but listen to me and don't run around."

"Okay, no problem!" Xiao Shi replied happily.

In fact, Lao Jiu is also a young man, so how could he stay in the mountains? He was eighteen or nineteen years old, and he was so active that Xiao Shi agreed after a few words of encouragement. The main reason was that he was too bored.

This village was actually built by ten of their fellow brothers. Why are they called brothers? Because they are all orphans, they were all picked up by an old Taoist outside. They grew up in a broken Taoist temple in the dense forest in the mountains. There are usually no one to go there. There are more than ten acres of land next to the Taoist temple, which is enough for them to live.

The old Taoist is very knowledgeable and has some force. He teaches them some knowledge or martial arts without any trouble. However, five years ago, he was seriously injured after coming back. He died soon after, leaving behind ten brothers.

Originally, the senior brother wanted to take a few people to serve the court, but when he passed by Changshan, he saw a village where officers and soldiers were slaughtering the village. When a few people saw it, they killed the officers and soldiers and brought the remaining villagers up the mountain to live.

After inquiring, I found out that these officers and soldiers were preparing to kill good people. They were not old and belonged to angry young people. They suddenly had no good feelings for the officers and soldiers and the court.

With this skill, several people shouted the slogan of practicing Taoism for heaven. After burning incense and praying to the lords, they began to rob the rich and help the poor. The landlords in the villages around them asked them to rob them. Now all the gentry mentioned Heiyun Village to be afraid.

However, after several years of recession and droughts are getting worse every year, the gentry themselves have difficulty in their own life. It is almost impossible to ask for some food now, and every household does not have much surplus food.

And I heard from Junshi Jia that he could not kill chickens to get eggs, otherwise there would be no place to ask for them in the future. I would raise them for a few years first, and after the famine passed, they would be rich and the village would be fine.

So half a month ago, Lao Liu and Lao Qi took Military Commander Jia to Changshan County to buy grain with their savings over the years. However, after half a month of traveling, the people on the mountain were so hungry that they were roaring, but they didn't see Military Commander Jia and the others back.

Sometimes they all think about whether Lao Liu and Lao Qi will run away with the money. Of course, this is just to think about it. How can the brothers and the others live since childhood? There is still this trust, and it may be that something has been delayed.

By the way, the brothers Lao Jiu and Xiao Shi secretly bypassed the guards on the mountain and rushed towards the bottom of the mountain.

Bai Yang and Xiaoyan rested under a tree for a while, and were about to get up to walk, but unexpectedly, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

As the two of them slowly approached Bai Yang, they finally saw clearly that they were two young men, about two or three years younger than Xiaoyan. When they saw Bai Yang and Xiaoyan, they didn't know what to say, so they looked straight at Bai Yang and Xiaoyan, not knowing how to speak.

The few people looked at each other for a while, and the younger young man there suddenly shouted: "I have opened this mountain and I have planted this tree. I want to pass by it from now on and leave to buy wealth. Brother, let's have some food to help you. Haha!"

"Brother Jiu, why are you calling half of it? There are still some behind it?"

"It's enough to have these words. I see that they don't look like rich people. Why don't we go back!"

Bai Yang looked at the two of them. The other party shouted a few words at first, but later they muttered, not knowing what they were talking about.

But he was not stupid either. Combined with the outfits of the two and the few words Lao Jiu shouted at the beginning, he was robbed.

However, Bai Yang seemed to have a bad heart. Later, it might be seen that they were poor people, so he lowered his voice and asked if there was any food. Seeing that the other party was not old, he should be a martial arts practitioner. The muscles that bulge out of those coarse cloth clothes should have good kung fu.
