Realizing the danger, Zhang Xiaozu instinctively covered the dry food bag with one hand and held the hilt of the hunting knife with the other hand. His eyes were fixed on the group of people in the southwest. His breathing became rapid and he was extremely nervous, as if the group of people would rush over the next moment.

"What if they rush over and robbed them?" Zhang Xiaozu asked himself in his heart.

"They have twice as many people as we do. If we fight, we have no chance of winning."

"We can give up some of the dry food and shake hands with them."

"No! If so, people from other villages will think that we are weak and easy to bully, and they will all come to rob our dry food."

"If someone comes to rob, there is only one battle!"

Zhang Xiaozu swallowed, feeling his mouth dry and his right hand holding the knife trembled uncontrollably. He was scared because he found that if he really fought, he would not dare to cut the knife in his hand on someone, which would be too terrifying.

"Xiaozhang, why are you stunned? Why, are there people you know over there?" Niu Dawa called Zhang Xiaozhang twice and found that Zhang Xiaozhang was staring at a group of people not far away in a daze, so he pushed him.

"Ah?" Zhang Xiaozu didn't react for a moment.

"What, let's go quickly, if you don't leave, you will fall behind." Niu Dawa glared at Zhang Xiaozhu with annoyance. He saw Zhang Xiaozhu looking confused, as if he had just woken up and didn't know what to do. So he grabbed his arm and pulled Zhang Xiaozhu in one direction. At the same time, he said: "I discussed with Uncle Li and decided to give some dry food to the people in Zhangjia Village. The two of us will join us and enter the Black Forest together. We are only thirty people, and there are indeed too few people. We work with people in Zhangjia Village. Now even if we meet a big guy like a tiger, black and blind man, we can do it. Hey, I say, you kid quickly and you can't be underestimated by the newly grown boys in Zhangjia Village."

After hearing what Niu Dawa said, Zhang Xiaozhu completed the incident when he was distracted just now. He looked forward and found that Niu Yao and others had arrived at Zhangjia Village and seemed to have already expressed their plans to join forces. He saw that the villagers of Zhangjia Village were full of sorrow and were all happy.

The two people from the villages joined together, and 120 people immediately became the largest team in front of the valley entrance.

Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help but lit up his eyes and found that what he had just worried about was solved so easily. In this way, it not only won over the people of Zhangjia Village, but also strengthened the strength of the team, and protected himself from being bullied, which was a killing kill for two birds with one stone.

"Elders do have great wisdom!" Zhang Xiaozu admired Niu Yao and Li Dashan very much, and felt that there was too much to learn.

The stone fell to the ground in his heart, and Zhang Xiaozu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and he became relaxed. He quietly rubbed the sweat on his palms on his pants, for fear that Niu Dawa would make a joke when he found out. But after thinking about it, he asked what he had worried about just now. He wanted to know what Li Dawa would do.

Niu Dawa walked in front and heard Zhang Xiaozhu’s question. He answered: “Food is life these days. If someone robs our food, it will be no different from killing us. We will fight to the end.”

"Do you dare to cut the hunting knife in your hand at a living person?" Zhang Xiaozu asked again.

Niu Dawa suddenly stopped, looked down at the ground, and after a while, she sighed quietly: "I didn't dare, but I must dare, otherwise all the old and young men in Liujia Village would starve to death. Perhaps it is the difference between adults and children. The responsibility and responsibility of adults are really heavier, and suddenly they are overwhelmed, which makes people feel a little breathless."

Zhang Xiaozu looked at Niu Dawa's back with a dazed look. He had never thought that Niu Dawa could say such philosophical words. Is this the stupid and stupid guy he knew?

"The wind is whistling and the rain is rustling. Let's raise your head, straighten your chest, and don't turn back. Go up the sword mountain, go down the sea of ​​fire, and sing a song to make wine and dishes. Don't be afraid, and move forward. I will be crazy by myself, and I will not be afraid of the gods or demons." Niu Dawa hummed and walked forward with great strides.

Infected by Niu Dawa's sonorous and powerful tune, Zhang Xiaozu felt his blood surge, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, steady and powerful, without any trembling. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "Come on, my responsibility and responsibility are my weight, even if it is a thousand pounds, I will not be afraid."

He took a step forward, and his figure seemed to be taller, as if he had shed his tender shackles before he was sixteen years old and had truly grown up.

When Niu Dawa and Zhang Xiaozhu rushed back to the large army, the leaders of the two villages had already discussed a plan to gather everyone's dry food together, and then select the worst one to hand over, and then distribute the rest evenly according to the cap.

The people in Zhangjia Village were a little embarrassed and blushed because they felt that they had taken advantage of Liujia Village. When the two villagers took out the food they brought one by one, the people in Zhangjia Village became more and more ashamed, because they brought some hard cakes, hard buns, etc. that were difficult to swallow, and some of them were even moldy. The dry goods brought by the people in Liujia Village were fragrant, and you could tell at a glance that they had just made it.

"I'll listen to everything from Zhangjia Village." Zhang Daqiang, the leader of Zhangjia Village, suddenly shouted to the people in his village, "I believe everyone knows how much we have taken advantage of others. I don't know what you are feeling now. Anyway, I'm so embarrassed that I want to find a mouse hole to get in. There is no reason to take advantage of you in vain. No matter what you lose, we can't lose anything. So I decided to get four or six points of prey caught in the Black Forest. We are four, brothers from Liujia Village six, if you don't agree, you will immediately get your stuff and get out of here."

The young and young men in Zhangjia Village are also honest people, and they all said they had taken advantage of the elder brothers in Liujia Village, and they all agreed with Zhang Daqiang's decision.

"Brothers, I'm here, I'm here." Niu Yao waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Our two villages are only a few miles apart. We know each other well and know that all brothers are honest people. So I came to join you. You have many adults in your village, but there are fewer people in our village. Four and six points are really not suitable. In my opinion, it's better. If you have a lot of harvest, then four and six points are just us four and six points. If you have average harvest, we will only 5 and 5 points. Anyway, it's a purpose. We work together to get through this disaster year. If you feel that you owe the love of our Liujia Village, then you will pay it back after the disaster year. Let's agree first, we will not give in at that time. We will accept all the money as much as you pay. Haha."

"Good brother, if you remember this love from Zhangjia Village, you will be rewarded in the future." Zhang Daqiang patted Niu Yao's shoulder heavily. He did not act pretentiously anymore, because Niu Yao told the truth.

"Don't stand there. Put down all the dry food and go outside to prevent anyone from robbing it. I just looked around and found that there were many strange faces I didn't know. The old saying goes, you should not have the heart to be a thief, and you should not have the heart to be a thief." Niu Yao ordered.

After he said this, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous. Now every bit of food is related to the lives of the whole village, and it is not enough to be careless.

Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa hurriedly put down their dry food and crawled out of the crowd. They stood to the outermost point, looked around vigilantly, and felt that everyone looked like robbers.

"Hey, baby, Xiaozhu, you two are here too!" A thin black guy suddenly rushed out from behind, holding Zhang Xiaozhu's neck with one hand and Niu Dawa's neck with the other, and greeted them happily.

"I knew they were going to come."

"It's lively now."

There were several average-aged boys behind him, and they looked very happy when they saw Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa.

Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa were startled by the thin black guy. When they looked back, they immediately grinned. They couldn't help but punch the thin black guy in the thin black guy's chest and cursed with a smile: "Damn it, where did you guys go just now? We walked around but didn't see your shadow, and thought you didn't come."

These boys are from Zhangjia Village. They are both of Zhang Xiaozu, and they are just in their age. They just held their coming-of-age ceremony this year. They often play together on weekdays, go down the river to fish and go up trees to get birds, and they are very familiar.

"You're just here today, it's a pity. I missed a good show." The black and thin boy shook his head and said regretfully. His name is Zhang Dezhuang, which is homophonic with "Growing Zhuang". He hopes that he will be majestic and mighty, but this boy seems to have been sent from heaven to deliberately fight against him. He has eaten a lot of chicken, duck, fish and meat since he was a child, but he just couldn't gain weight. He was so thin that he almost got sick. Therefore, his nickname of "Skinny Monkey" can be said to have been resounding for several miles.

When Niu Dawa heard a good show, his eyes lit up and urged, "What good show? Tell me quickly."

"Tsk tsk, you two didn't see it. The scene and the scene yesterday were simply shocking the world and the ghosts and gods!" The thin monkey was amazed, shook his head and waved his hands, pretending to act to cheer up the appetites of Zhang Xiaozu and the others.

"Get out!" Niu Dawa is not a good-tempered person. He slapped the thin monkey and said to the other person, "Zhuangsheng, come and talk."

The boy named by Niu Dawa is named Zhang Chutian, and he was nicknamed "Zhuangzong". Because he had studied in a small private school in the county for a year and a half, he could read more than 200 words and was the most knowledgeable of his peers, he got the nickname.

Liu and Zhang Ercun have been digging food from the ground for generations. The poor people in the mountains have never seen the world. They envious and admire scholars who do academic research. But if they ask them to pay for the boys at home to stop doing farm work and go to private schools to study, they will not do it even if they beat them to death. The boys who grew up in the mountains have been used to being young and are not able to withstand their temperament. Therefore, people in the two villages are basically illiterate for generations, so they can write their own names.

Zhang Xiaozhu has always admired Zhang Chutian because he was beaten by the old village chief with willow branches for a whole year. After suffering, he could barely recognize 108 words. However, Zhang Chutian could even recognize more than 200 words, which was really amazing.

Zhang Chutian also enjoys the nickname "The No. 1 Scholar" on weekdays. He would occasionally say a few words in his mouth and dressed very carefully. Take this time for example. He and Zhang Xiaozu and others were wearing coarse linen clothes. Because the weather was stuffy, Zhang Xiaozu and others unbuttoned two or three buttons, spread their chests, and their hair was messy and messy. He was just tied with a hemp rope behind his head. However, he was different. His clothes were flat and he couldn't even find a wisp of folds, and his hair was smooth and smooth. He did stand among the wild boys Zhang Xiaozu and his group of wild boys, and he did look like a scholar.

"Cough cough" The top scholar covered his mouth with his hand, coughed twice, cleared his throat, grabbed it with his right hand, as if he was grabbing a piece of gavel, and patted it in front of him, and then raised his eyebrows and stared at him, looking like a storyteller in a tavern.

On weekdays, everyone likes to listen to this guy telling stories in a pretentious manner, no matter whether he hearsay or is nonsense, he just likes it, and he feels it has a unique taste.

The top scholar Qingyin shouted: "It was said that at 3 noon yesterday, more than ten villages gathered here, wanting to cross the valley and go to the black forest to hunt. However, the entrance of the valley was stopped by Maba, a large family in the county. Each person had to hand over five kilograms of food to enter the valley. When leaving the valley, half of the prey had to be handed over. Everyone was blocked at the entrance of the valley, and they dared not speak out. When the two sides were in a stalemate, the three villages finally started attacking and wanted to break into the valley forcing. Nearly two hundred people in the three villages, holding hunting knives, steel forks and other weapons, started attacking. As a result, the five people in the big family were killed in a moment and abandoned their armor and wailed everywhere. The battle almost ended at the beginning. Seven people in the three villages were killed in battle, and all the rest were injured, and none of them escaped. The five people in the big family were just stained with dust on their clothes, and they bounced their hands, as if they had just played a game."

"Dog Damn!" Niu Dawa jumped up with his eyes and shouted in disbelief: "It's true, five fights 200, and he won the damn?! Not to mention winning, he won the damn easy?"

Zhang Xiaozu was also unbelievable. Although he had already speculated that several major families were very strong, otherwise he would not dare to offend the public and force the angrily ban Gukou and collect tolls, he never expected that he would be so outrageously strong. Five people fought against 200 people and still won easily. Could it be the five gods of war?
