Xu Gaoyang got off the mount, took out the water bladder from the horse and drank some water, sat on the boundary stone, planning to rest for a while, he had been rushing for several days, he had worked so hard, and now that he had finally arrived at the ground, the nerves that had been tense naturally relaxed.

He looked left and right, and saw a tall middle-aged man not far away, with an axe in his hand and a rope wrapped around his waist, who looked like a woodcutter, at least similar to the woodcutter in Chang'an.

Xu Gaoyang beckoned to the woodcutter and said loudly: "This old man, inquire about the way, how far do you have to go from here to Qiuzhou City?" ”

The woodcutter was red-faced, full of horizontal meat, with a thick beard, in terms of appearance, it was absolutely fierce enough, he kept staring at Xu Gaoyang, seeing Xu Gaoyang dismounting, he had the heart to dodge, he didn't want to meet Xu Gaoyang, but before he could go farther, he heard Xu Gaoyang call him and ask him for directions, this woodcutter was stunned, he felt quite surprised, and someone asked him for directions, which is rare.

This woodcutter is not a real woodcutter, but a robber who kills people and sells goods, of course he does not make a living by chopping wood, his surname is Feng, his parents did not give him a big name when he was a child, just a small name San'er, when he was young, others called him Feng San'er, but when he was older, because he was doing a business without capital, that is, he was a robber, and he was good at cutting people with an axe, so his peers gave him a nickname, named Feng Sanaxe, first, he did three, and second, he never cut people more than three axes, which is also a compliment to him.

Feng Sanaxe smiled, he was waiting for the fat sheep here at the intersection, waiting until his neck was long, and finally waiting for one, this fat sheep saw that he was not afraid, and dared to say hello to himself, it seems that he is lucky today, and he wants to make a fortune!

Striding towards Xu Gaoyang, Feng Sanaxe smiled and said, "This passing master, you are going to Qiuzhou City." If you follow this road, even if you ride a horse now, it is estimated that you will be able to reach the city gate in the middle of the night, and then wait for half a night before you can enter the city at dawn. ”

Feng Sanaxe walked up to Xu Gaoyang, looked at him, and saw that Xu Gaoyang was wearing a general tight-fitting beard. The material of the clothes looks very good, and there is a big burden immediately, it is estimated that there can be valuable things in it, plus such a horse, this fat sheep, it is really rare to see fat!

Xu Gaoyang has never encountered any real danger since he was born and grown, so he naturally did not feel any danger, and he felt that the woodcutter in front of him was very warm-hearted. He snorted first. A little embarrassed, he said: "Qiuzhou is so big, I really didn't expect it, then it seems that I have to find a place to spend the night tonight, and I will enter the city early tomorrow morning." Excuse me, dude. Do you have villages and towns, and do you have cleaner inns? ”

Feng Sanaxe was even happier, with a smile on his face, and said, "We are here in the frontier place. How can there be a good inn, if you don't dislike it, master, then go to my house to deal with it for one night. My mother-in-law has made a good barbecue, the house is also big, and it is clean, so it is best for you to go to my house for the night, anyway, you want to stay, who is not to give the money to the hotel! ”

When Xu Gaoyang heard him say the first half of the sentence, he felt that the people here were simple, and a woodcutter had such a good heart, but when he heard the last, he couldn't help laughing, he was in love, he wanted to make money for my stay!

Money is a trivial matter, Xu Gaoyang doesn't care, he smiled and said: "Cheng, then go to your house!" However, I have a good mouth, and if your mother-in-law's barbecue is not delicious, I will not pay for the meal. ”

"Master Bao, you are satisfied!" Feng Sanaxe pointed to the west and said: "My house is a little way from here, just on the way to Qiuzhou, if you go from my house, although it is a small road, it is still smooth, tomorrow morning, you can rush to Qiuzhou City at noon." ”

Xu Gaoyang stood up and said, "If you don't say it earlier, you have to show me the way, it seems that you really want to make money from my store!" My surname is Xu, what do you call it, brother? ”

"The villain's surname is Feng, Master Xu, you can call me Feng San'er. Listen to the accent, Master Xu, you are from Chang'an, right? It's hard to travel alone! Feng Sanaxe began to talk, wanting to trick Xu Gaoyang is a few people, and whether there are any companions behind.

Xu Gaoyang did not doubt it, and replied: "Yes, I am from Chang'an, isn't it hard to travel alone, and I have to meet you who want to make money!" Turning over and getting on the horse, he followed behind Feng Sanaxe, and the two chatted while walking.

Feng Sanaxe is tall and strong, and he is not slow to run, although he is snorting and panting, he can still keep up, as long as Xu Gaoyang does not run too fast, he will not fall.

I walked out of ten miles in one go, and the more I walked, the more desolate it became, and the trees gradually increased, but the road became narrower and narrower. In the distance, Xu Gaoyang saw the cooking smoke, and he shouted: "Feng San'er, I'll be at your house in front, I think there is only one yard, and there are no neighbors around your house?" ”

Feng Sanaxe thought to himself: "If we do what we do, if there are neighbors around, then something is wrong!" He ran a few steps behind, reached Xu Gaoyang's horse's head, looked up and said: "This forest is all owned by small people, and there is too much land, so there are no neighbors!" ”

"This forest belongs to your family, then you are a big landowner, if there is such a big forest in our Chang'an, it must be the position of a marquis!" Xu Gaoyang said in surprise, and as he spoke, he got closer to the courtyard, and saw a middle-aged woman come out of the door and stand at the door to look.

Xu Gaoyang asked again: "Then why don't you hire some tenants, the forest is so big, there should be a lot of production, right?" ”

"There are few people in Qiuzhou, and every family has a lot of land, and no one wants to be a tenant!" Feng Sanaxe ran a few steps and shouted at the woman at the door: "You lazy woman, don't you see the guests, don't you go to the barbecue and cook, take out the best wine in our house, Master Xu is from Chang'an, and he is working hard alone, we have to entertain well, Master Xu is a generous person, he promised to give us money, he must serve him well!" ”

This sentence told all the details of Xu Gaoyang, the middle-aged woman at the door was Feng Sanaxe's wife, known as Feng Sanniang, and she was also a thief. Very good, the fat sheep comes to the door, then slaughter him!

Feng Sanniang agreed, trotted back to the yard, went directly into the kitchen, took out a jar of wine, poured a small bowl out, and took out a small packet of medicinal powder from the corner, poured a little medicinal powder into the bowl, shook it, dissolved the medicinal powder, and then came out of the kitchen, holding the wine bowl with a smile on his face.

Feng Sanaxe welcomed Xu Gaoyang into the courtyard, diligently helped Xu Gaoyang get off the horse, and said very, very stiffly: "Master Xu, please take a sip of wine to relieve fatigue, my family's wine is made by myself, and the taste is not ordinary. ”

Xu Gaoyang got off the horse and said with a smile: "How can you drink as soon as you enter the door, it's serious to take a handkerchief to wipe my face." ”

Feng Sanniang lowered her eyebrows and said, "The slave family will take a handkerchief for the master!" Naturally, she handed the wine bowl to Xu Gaoyang, this action did not show any flaws at all, and when Xu Gaoyang took the wine bowl, she turned around and entered the house, it seemed that she was going to get a hand towel.

Xu Gaoyang turned around and said to Feng Sanaxe: "Brother, you are very blessed, look at your mother-in-law, she looks pretty good, it's a pity to be worthy of you!" Holding a bowl in his hand, he naturally took a sip, feeling that the taste of this wine was a little special, a little sour, and a little muddy, but it was okay, it was not a bad wine, so he drank it all.

Seeing that Xu Gaoyang drank all the wine, Feng Sanaxe smiled and said: "Master Xu, this wine can be on the top, it is strong, please sit in the room and rest." He took the horse away and tied it to a tree in the yard.

Xu Gaoyang entered the house and saw that the furnishings in the house were very good, so he said: "It seems that your family is quite wealthy, your family's forest is really rich, otherwise you wouldn't be able to live such a good life." He sat down on a stool, but his body shook suddenly, and he couldn't help but say, "This wine is really strong, and as soon as I drank it, I was a little dizzy." ”

Feng Sanniang came in with a handkerchief at this time and said, "The master's surname is Xu?" ”

Xu Gaoyang hummed, only felt that his head was getting more and more dizzy, and he felt sleepy, so he took the hand towel, wiped his face, and said: "Next time you take a hand towel to a guest, remember to wet it with hot water, don't dry it, just bring it." ”

Feng Sanniang bolted his horse and walked into the house, holding his axe in one hand and the rope in the other, standing in front of Feng Sanniang, and the husband and wife looked at Xu Gaoyang together.

Xu Gaoyang shook his head, only to feel even more dizzy, he reluctantly raised his head, looked at the Feng family and his wife, and said, "You, why do you look at me like this, like this?" ”

Feng Sanaxe said with a smile: "Back to Master Xu's words, generally speaking, before sending people on the road, you must always give people a good meal, and then go on the road after eating, so as not to be hungry on Huangquan Road, but I am in a hurry, so I won't give you good food, just send you on the road!" When you get to Lord Yama, you have to remember that the villain's surname is Feng, and the two of us killed you, so you don't have to sue the wrong person! ”

Xu Gaoyang was taken aback and said, "What, what do you say, ......" He jumped up suddenly, but with such a hard effort, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he couldn't stand it anymore, and then fainted, and he didn't know who was going to die!

Feng Sanaxe said again: "Don't faint, I haven't let you choose how to die, do you want to be strangled by a rope or hacked to death by an axe?" ”

Feng Sanniang said impatiently: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, you can strangle to death, so as not to bleed all over the ground, I still have to wash the ground." You kill him first, and I'll see what's in his baggage!" ”

Feng Sanaxe said: "Okay! He threw the axe to the ground, came to Xu Gaoyang with a rope, circled around his neck, and killed Xu Gaoyang with both hands.

Feng Sanniang opened Xu Gaoyang's baggage, flipped it up, and shouted as she flipped it: "Oh, there are several pieces of money, a brand, and two sets of clothes, the material of this dress is really good!" ”

Feng Sanaxe moved Xu Gaoyang's body aside, and said with a smile: "There is also a horse, it is a good horse, if it is brought to the city to sell, maybe it can be sold for hundreds of times, I think there are not many bald horses, there are not many good ones, and the saddle sheath can also be sold for a lot of money, this time our family can send it!"
