Shanxi, Youyu County. The sun is shining, the wind is desert, and the lonely Cangtou River meanders north out of the city and flows into the turbid Yellow River. From a bird's-eye view of the sky, you can see the unique ravines and ravines on the Loess Plateau. It is a barren land, yet the people who live on it are as tenacious as weeds.

The Cangtou River is not far from an official road, which can lead directly to the Great Wall fortress to kill Hukou, and at this time a donkey cart came on the official road, which is slowly driving north. The handlebar style is a middle-aged man with a weathered face, with a white sheep's belly handkerchief with northern Shaanxi characteristics on his head, and it is obvious that he is a native of Youyu County.

Behind the donkey cart sat two young scholars, who were so swaying because of the rough road that they had to hold on to the wheels with both hands so that they would not fall off the cart.

These two scholars are not the other, they are Cai Yue and Li Yingjun who traveled all the way west, pursuing poetry and distant places. There is little vegetation on the plateau, the wind and sand are strong, and the two white-faced scholars have tanned a lot, and their faces are covered with wind and dust.

It is said that Cai and Li left the capital in early April, traveled all the way west to Xuanfu, and entered Datong Mansion in early June.

Cai and Li stayed in Datong for ten years, then continued westward to Shuozhou, arriving in Youyu County in early July, and now planning to visit the famous Great Wall to see if they can be inspired to compose a few poems that have been handed down to the world.

"Big brother, how long will it take to kill Hukou?" Cai Yingjun asked the handlebar type, the donkey cart shook too much, and he couldn't stand it a little.

"Childe, it's going to take some time." The handlebar grinned and laughed, but he muttered secretly in his heart: "Are these readers reading books and reading bad brains, a good and comfortable life, but they want to go to the border to see the scenery outside the Seychelles, isn't it just a broken castle, what is there to look at, if you just come across the Tartar Land to fight the grass valley, don't you lose your life, what are you thinking about, you won't be so unlucky......"

It's mid-July, and it's wheat harvesting season, and there are wheat fields on both sides of the Cangtou River, and nearby villagers are busy harvesting wheat in the fields.

At this moment, a loud and distant voice came from the wheat field not far away:

Ducks in the upper river and geese in the lower river

A pair of hairy eyes look at the elder brother

Boiled that money, money (yo) and put down that rice

On the road, I will pick up the firewood and take a look at you

The glass of the clear water shines through the window

He smiled at his brother with a mouth full of white teeth

The double-leaf door comes (yo) and the single-leaf opens

Call my brother (yo) and come back quickly

Yes...... Yes......

The double-leaf door comes (yo) and the single-leaf opens

Call my brother (yo) and come back quickly

This is exactly a Xintianyou with northern Shaanxi characteristics, the singing voice is loud and clear, the lyrics are easy to understand, it is really nothing to modern people, but it is immoral to listen to the ears of Cai Yue and Li Yingjun, two readers, not to mention that the singer is still a young girl.

However, the uncle who was driving the car listened to it with relish, and as soon as the singing stopped, he immediately tore his throat and sang loudly:

The wild geese came back and bloomed again,

Sister, I think of a person in my heart.

The grass on the slopes of the hill is yellow and green,

Another year, sister, I'm waiting for you......

In the darkness of the crescent moon is hidden,

plopped into his brother's arms.

The river in the east of the village roared,

Sister, I shouted happily to my mother......

This handlebar-style uncle looks full of dust and frost, but when he opens his mouth, it is a big surprise, his voice is loud and mellow, wearing gold and jade, but the lyrics are very explicit.

Cai Li and the others were red-faced when they heard this, and shook their heads again and again, how can this be reasonable, it is really insulting, these border people are really not educated.

The handlebar style was singing vigorously, and suddenly saw the dust flying in front of him, and more than a dozen horses galloping towards this side, and the knights on horseback were obviously dressed differently from the Han people, and everyone held sharp knives in their hands, bows and arrows at their waists, and their faces showed greedy smiles.

The handlebar's face changed greatly, he grabbed the reins and jumped off the donkey cart, and ran up the nearby hillside, shouting as he ran: "Tartar hits the grass valley, run for your life!" ”

At this time, the people who were harvesting in the wheat fields left their work and fled in all directions, and did not forget to carry the wheat as much as they could, otherwise they would all be robbed by the tartars.

The so-called "grass valley" is the meaning of grabbing grain, every year in July and August during the wheat harvest season, the Tartars will sneak in groups from the remote passes of the Great Wall to rob the grain of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of this, many people in the Ming Frontier worked hard for a year, but in the end there was no harvest, and the family could only wait for death in the cold winter.

Cai Li and the others had no experience after all, and when they saw everyone crying and running away, they didn't react for a while, and they sat stupidly on the donkey cart for some reason.

"You two nerds, run, the Tartars are coming!" A teenage village girl ran past the car and kindly reminded the two that Cai Yue recognized the young girl who had just sang.

"Brother Ziyu, run!" Cai Yue reacted first and pulled Li Yingjun to jump out of the car.

At this time, the group of Tartars had already rushed thirty meters away, the sharp knives in their hands flashed coldly, and their mouths let out a terrifying scream.

Cai Li and the two were so frightened that they almost fell to their knees, and the village girl who ran a few meters out of the village ran back when she saw this, grabbed Cai Yue's hand and said, "Quickly follow the nest to the hillside, the Tartar will not be able to go up the hillside immediately." ”

Cai Li and the two followed the village girl to run up the hillside, and at this time the group of Tartars had already come to the bottom of the hillside, took off the bow and arrow, laughed wildly and turned on the shooting mode, and the screams were endless, and the people who were hit by the arrows kept rolling down the hillside.

Cai and Li, two weak scholars, had never seen such a bloody scene, and their faces were as frightened as earth, and their hearts were broken. Fortunately, the Tartars were small in number, and they singled out the people who carried the wheat to shoot them, so Cai and Li were lucky enough to escape the hillside and escape the range of their bows and arrows.

"Daddy!" Nagu Village suddenly let out a heart-rending scream.

Cai Li and the others followed the prestige, and saw an old farmer carrying a large bundle of wheat rolling down the slope, with two feather arrows stuck in his back, and the arrows came out of his thin chest, and it was estimated that he would not survive.

At this time, a young man seemed to want to turn back and rescue the old farmer, but as soon as he picked up the old farmer, he was hit by an arrow in the throat, and the two corpses rolled down the hillside together.

"Second brother!" The village girl screamed and cried again.

Cai and Li were both stupid, and Li Yingjun's legs were even weaker, and he actually lost his footing and rolled down the hillside.

"Brother Ziyu!" Cai Yue was shocked, staggered a few steps to catch Li Yingjun, but unfortunately he was still a beat slow, and the latter rolled down the slope with his bones, probably fainting.

A Tartar laughed, stepped forward and lifted Cai Yingjun on the ground, and shouted in Tatar: "Reader, it's a reader, haha!" After speaking, Cai Yingjun rested on the horse's back like a dead dog.

"Brother Ziyu!" Cai Yue wanted to rush down the hill to save people, but the village girl next to him grabbed him desperately, crying and shouting: "Don't go down, you can't beat it, don't worry, the Tartars won't kill your friends, they not only rob grain, but also slaves, my mother and my eldest brother were taken captive by the Tartars last year...... Whining! ”

After speaking, the village girl squatted down and cried loudly, and she had become a tearful person, and the person who saw it was sad, and the person who heard it was crying. Cai Yue's whole person was stupid, and he fell to the ground in a dejected manner, it was too miserable, this was not the poetry and distance he wanted.

Beauty often only exists in imagination, and reality is always so cruel!

Jingle Bell ...... Jingle Bell ......

A rush of copper bells faintly caught his ears, followed by bursts of cheers, and Cai Yue, who was holding his head in pain, subconsciously raised his face. I saw the dust flying on the other side of the Cangtou River, and a Puma team rushed here.

This horse team is about 20 horses, and the knights on the horses are all dressed in black clothes, black scarves cover their faces, only revealing their intimidating eyes, and a brass bell is tied around the neck of the horses, which jingle when they run, and the sound is quite terrifying.

"It's the third lady of Heitai Mountain, it's the third lady!" The teary-eyed village girl stood up and shouted excitedly, and the people around her who had successfully escaped also chanted with joy, as if the savior had come.

At this time, the black-clothed horse team had rushed to the other side of the Cangtou River, and the black-clothed man at the head was slim, it seemed to be a woman, and I saw her lifting the reins, and the war horse rushed directly into the river.

The river is very shallow, only to the horse's knee, and more than 20 enemy horses wade directly through the water, splashing all over the sky.

Whoosh ......

Immediately, as soon as a black-clothed knight came ashore, he immediately bent his bow and arrows, and shot three Tartars who were packing ears of wheat to death.

The Tartars were so angry that they jumped on their horses and went on the black-clad horse, and the two horses fought each other in a fierce battle over the wheat field.

The woman in black at the head made a long sword, rode her horse to kill left and right, and stabbed two Tartars to death under the horse, very brave!

"Three ladies, three ladies are invincible!" The people on the hillside waved their fists and shouted: "Dog's day Tartars, kill them!" ”

Some brave young men rushed down with farm tools such as flat poles, and for a moment the sound of killing shook the sky.

There were only a dozen of those Tartars, and nearly half of them were killed, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they whistled and rushed to the road.

"Brother Ziyu!" Cai Yue shouted loudly, because Li Yingjun was also on the back of a Tartar and galloped wildly, and that Tartar was quite good at riding, and there was an extra person on the horse's back and he was still running fast.

The black-clad horses chased after them for a while, and then killed several Tartars, leaving the remaining five Tartars to escape. The horses of these Tartars were very good and their riding skills were better than those of the black-clad horses.

"Three ladies, three ladies, ......!"

When the people saw that the Tartars had been beaten away, they ran down the surrounding hillside with shouts of joy. But the black-clothed horse team did not wait for the people to approach, but took the horses left behind by the Tartars, and the corpses of the Tartars were also taken away, and rode away quickly.

"Thank you Sanniangzi, save the suffering and save the Guanyin Bodhisattva, bless the three ladies with a long life of 100 years, a long life and many blessings......"

A crowd of people knelt down and bowed to the black-clothed horse team that was far away, and some young people chased after the black-clothed horse team, shouting that the third lady should take me in.

Cai Yue looked at the dust disappearing in the distance and was dazed, at this time, there was no poetry and no feelings, only fear, grief and worry!

"The Tartar shouted at the reader just now, the Tartar generally treats the reader more preferentially, and your friend shouldn't suffer anything!" The village girl was full of tears, but she also comforted Cai Yue, obviously a kind-hearted girl.

Cai Yue glanced at this average-looking young village girl, and said gratefully: "Thank you girl for saving me just now!" ”

The village girl wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, you don't need to, can you help Wo move Daddy and Second Brother back to the village." ”

Cai Yue hurriedly agreed, but fortunately, the donkey cart was still there, and Cai Yue called the handlebar to help and transported the two bodies to the burial together.

Looking at the young village girl who knelt down in front of the grave and cried darkly, Cai Yue's throat seemed to be blocked by something, as far as he knew, there was no one else in the village girl's family, and it was really miserable.

"Miss Ye, you...... What are your plans for the future? Cai Yue held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.

The village girl raised her tear-stained face, her eyes showed hatred, and she said stubbornly: "Go to Heitai Mountain to join the third lady and kill the Tartar!" ”

Cai Yue frowned, he had just inquired with the villagers, the so-called three ladies of Heitai Mountain, in his opinion, were just a group of strongmen who occupied the mountain as the king, so he persuaded: "Miss Yezi is a good people, why should she be willing to fall and go to the thieves who rob the house!" ”

The village girl suddenly raised her eyebrows, and said sarcastically: "What's wrong with the bandits, the third lady never robs the common people, only robs those corrupt officials who are rich and unkind, and she also kills the Tartars to protect the people nearby." Compared with those officers and soldiers who can only oppress the common people, they will flee when they see the Tartars.

As you saw just now, if it weren't for Sanniangzi today, more people would have died, the food was snatched away by the Tartars, and more people would starve to death in winter. Officers and soldiers don't care about our life and death, the three ladies are in charge, and the three ladies are the protectors of our people. The nest is to defect to her, or you will report to the official to catch the nest! ”

Cai Yue was stunned, and said embarrassedly: "Miss Yezi, I'm sorry, that's not what I mean!" ”

……

Black Terrace Mountain.

A team of horses galloped towards the gate of the village, and a sturdy young man on duty on the arrow tower put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, and immediately shouted excitedly after seeing the people who came: "The masters are back, open the gate quickly!" ”

The thick gate of the village slowly opened, and at this time, a team of black-clothed horses had already rushed in and rushed in.

"The big boss is back!"

"Miss is back!"

The men, women and children in the village have run out to greet them, one by one with a smile on their faces, and today the head of the house personally led the team to "go hunting", it seems that the harvest is very great, and more than a dozen horses have been snatched back.

At this time, the woman in the lead turned over and dismounted, and casually untied the masked black scarf, revealing a very cold and pretty face, light blue eyes, and a flying look, it was Xue Bingxin.
