22. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger's son

In the face of high walls and thick forts, you can find another way, many bandits secretly enter or open the door falsely, it is easy to do when you enter the door, grab a hostage casually, who dares to move those people in the house?

What's more, the bandits come prepared, with knives and guns in their hands, in case one accidentally provokes the bandits, kills and injures relatives, they can't be drawn, and if they break the wealth and eliminate the disaster, just break some money, as long as the person is okay.

After all, property is something outside the body, and if it is gone, it can still be earned; If the people are gone, no matter how you earn it, you can't earn it back; The bandits also control the psychology of the people, and they are even more lawless.

There are also bandits who kidnap children from large families, and some adults will also be kidnapped, and they will tear up the ticket if they don't pay the full amount of money and food.

I heard that some bandits kidnapped two children at a time, and I didn't know which child was a rich family, so they made two bowls of broth and gave them to eat, but one child ate all the meat and soup, and the other child only drank some soup, and did not eat the leftovers.

The bandit leader let go of the child who had eaten all the meat and soup, leaving the child who only drank soup and did not eat meat, saying, "That child belongs to a poor family, and the child of a poor family is tied up and has no money to ransom it, let it go."

This kid who only drinks soup and doesn't eat meat must be from a rich family, and he doesn't eat the meat in the broth because he drinks spicy food, so he keeps him for me, it's useful. I really got him right.

In the mountains, the bandits dug many deep shafts without water, tied up meat tickets, blindfolded, dragged into the mountains, sent down the shafts, and threw something to eat every day. When the family paid the ransom, they threw a rope down and hung it up, and sent it out of the mountain blindfolded.

If the family does not pay enough ransom, then they will no longer throw away food, they will be starved to death, and only a pair of white bones will be left after death.

Many of them are redeemed people, and when they return home, they are either seriously ill or have a nervous disorder, and they go crazy all day long; After the family sold their belongings, they ransomed a waste person, and many of the families of this bandit were ruined and the people were struggling to make a living.

No matter how difficult it is, people still have to survive and live, so in the later period, the villagers began to organize militia groups at their own expense, building high walls, digging deep ditches, buying guns and ammunition, and the villagers sent one or more people out of each household, and trained in batches during the slack time, and there were several fixed groups of people every day, patrolling with guns and guarding their hometowns.

In this way, even if some small thieves have a few guns, they do not dare to rob them, and most of the bandits go to the deep mountains, guard at important intersections, rob the merchant gang and passers-by, and force the merchant gang to organize human and horse guards, as for the passers-by, they will ask for more blessings.

After a while, the villagers who were the guy quickly caught up with the bandits, and the bandit leader with a beard was not in a hurry, he turned around and stood, and pulled out two shell guns from his waist with both hands, one gun at the "chasing soldiers" and the other at the sky.

All of a sudden, the villagers were suppressed, and they all stood behind and didn't dare to move, but could only watch the people go away; There was a stunned young man who picked up the bird gun and was about to release it to the bandits, but was taken away by an elder next to him, and scolded:

"You don't want to live, can you kill people with a bird? What if I hurt my pot-bellied woman? ”

The villagers were not as strong as the bandits, and they didn't dare to move, so they had to disperse slowly, go home, and go to the brick-walled house to watch the excitement.

Ming Cheng's father listened to it roughly, and he also knew that the bandits were going in the direction of the basket, so he didn't say a word, picked up a flat pole casually, and went out to walk in the direction of the mountain.

The three dog fathers were not relieved that he was alone, and he also a flat shoulder to follow, the sky was about to be dark, Ming Cheng's father heard the footsteps behind him, turned his head and saw that it was the three dog fathers, and wanted to call him back, but the corners of his mouth moved, and he didn't say it after all.

thought to himself, such a dangerous thing, since he went with him, he didn't care about the bad luck in front of him, it was impossible to ask him to go back, and he wouldn't do it if he made a appearance; As for pretending to be polite, asking him to go back or something, and saying thank you, it's all too fake.

Da En didn't say thank you, so Mingcheng's father simply didn't speak, but he was a little moved in his heart, this brother is worth it. Of course, what he thinks about the most now is his wife, who has a big belly, and if he gives birth halfway, he doesn't know what to do?

You must know that in the year when the medical conditions were extremely low, many women gave birth to children, and they described it as stepping into a coffin with one foot, and there were often difficult births that led to death, and birthdays were indeed a mother's suffering day.

So along the way, Mingcheng's father was so upset that he didn't want to speak, and when he met a three-dog father, he couldn't beat a fart, and both of them were hurrying with their heads down, and there was a slight gasp sound.

Although it was dark, fortunately they had grown up on this road, and they could touch the dustpan railing with their eyes closed; But fortunately, today is the sixteenth day of the lunar month, the fifteenth moon is sixteenth round, and the moon is hung up in the sky early, like a big street lamp, illuminating the road a little bright.

The dustpan railing, as the name suggests, is a mountain as steep as the big ear railings on both sides of the dustpan, and there is a col in the middle that is the same as the dustpan; The locals name the mountain, and most of them use common items to describe it, such as: Niubeiling, Qiaoji Insurance, Sheep's Horn Point, etc., which are easy to remember and understand.

Mingcheng's father and Sangou's father grew up together since childhood, and they often go to the dustpan to chop wood, so they know very well what the big roads and small roads are. After walking a few miles, I saw a few lights in the big mountain col in the far distance.

There were just a few dilapidated houses that no one lived in, built temporarily by the forest guards, but now abandoned, and there are lights at this point, needless to say, it is the den of these bandits.

The dilapidated house is indeed a foothold for the bandits, and now in the hall here, these outlaws are drinking and eating meat.

The room was also lit with candles, under the candlelight, Mingcheng's mother had a big belly, sitting on the edge of the bed, and there were dishes and chopsticks with food next to her, but she didn't move, Mingcheng's mother couldn't eat, first, she was not in the mood to eat, and secondly, she really felt that her stomach was very full and she couldn't eat.

The bearded bandit leader was eating and drinking at about the same time, and let his subordinates continue to shout to eat and drink, and he paced himself into the room, looked at the dishes and chopsticks that did not move at all, looked at her, and said:

"Jing Hui"

"Please call me Mrs. Wang"

"Jinghui, don't you recognize me? I'm Shengda, Pan Shengda of Shuinan."

"Pan Shengda, whom I know, died three years ago", Ming Cheng's mother, Yu Jinghui, couldn't hold back any longer, and two lines of tears slipped down.

That was three years ago, no, it was four years ago, and that scene, like a knife, had already been carved into the tombstone of the grave deep in my heart, and I couldn't erase it......
