"You evil slave, how dare you rob your master's property? Aren't you afraid that I will report to the official?" A thin scholar dressed in green clothes struggled to get up from the ground. He didn't bother to dust off the crayons on his body, but pointed to a servant in front of him who was about the same age but much stronger than him.

"Report to the official? I said to Huang Xiucai, here are in the wilderness, where do you report to the official? Besides, if I, Huang San, kill you, no one will know." Huang San said with a smile.

"Dare you dare!!" Huang Xiucai felt a little guilty when he heard the words of his evil slave. The other party really had the intention to kill himself and threw him into the wilderness. I'm afraid no one knew. He believed that he had said that taking a small path could shorten the journey of several days, so he chose this wilderness path. Now it's too late to regret it.

"Hey!" Huang San flipped through the package in his hand, took out a few taels of broken silver, and a blue-white jade ring, and smiled, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

"No, I can give you the money, but the jade ring cannot!" Huang Xiucai could not have someone snatched away his jade ring. Although this jade ring was not a treasure, it was his father who had told him to keep it well and be regarded as his father's relics. Therefore, the Xiucai shouted and rushed towards Huang San, but he was not the opponent of the strong evil slave.

Before Huang Xiucai got close to him, the other party kicked him hard, knocking him to the ground again, and spat: "Don't be ignorant. You just have no power to tie a chicken, and you want to fight me. You scholars have nothing to do with studying hard? Don't be shameless, but today you spare your life, that's what I am in a good mood. And you'll give your bullshit articles to you."

After saying that, he stepped forward and kicked Huang Xiucai several times, then threw down the package with only a few clothes left, and one was the large package he carried. After the large package was still on the ground, several books fell out of it.

Huang Xiucai’s name is Huang Xiao, he is 16 years old this year. He was originally a scholar. This time he went to the provincial capital to participate in the rural examination, but unfortunately he failed.

Huang Xiao was considered to have a son when his parents were old, but he didn't look like the two elders at all. There were also a lot of gossip around, saying that he was not the biological child of his parents. Huang Xiao naturally heard of this, but he didn't care about it. Two years ago, the two elders died and left dozens of acres of land, so he had no worries about it. However, he focused on studying and spent all his life in order to take the science exam. Now he even sold the fields at home and took one of his slaves to the exam. Unfortunately, after failing the exam, the slave also began to think about it and took the few taels of silver he had left.

Picking up the parcel on the ground, Huang Xiao felt sad. He was full of confidence in participating in the provincial examination this time, thinking that he could pass the imperial examination. In this way, even if he devoted all his family property, it would not matter, but he still did not understand the world and people's hearts. He had no money to clear the examiners, and it would be useless to write your articles no matter how good it was.

Huang Xiao sat there for a long time before sighing: "The most useless scholar is the scholar. The ancients really did not deceive me, but now I am penniless and have no means to make a living. Forget it, for nothing, if God wants to destroy me, why should I struggle again?"

Huang Xiao packed up the books, and then he was a little confused. The blow of failing the exam and the sadness of being penniless now, he didn't know the way in this wilderness, so he had to follow the path.

"Stop, I open this road, I plant this tree, I want to pass by it from now on, and stay to buy wealth!" I don't know how long it took, but a few figures next to the mountain road jumped out and shouted at Huang Xiao.

This shout made Huang Xiao come back to his senses. When he looked up, there were about a dozen men standing in front of him with different weapons such as steel knives, iron forks, wooden sticks, and iron swords.

Huang Xiao knew that he had encountered a robber and bandit, and instinctively felt a little scared. However, he suddenly remembered that he was almost at a loss now. What's the difference between starving to death and being killed by a robber?

Thinking of this, his courage suddenly became bigger and shouted at the robber in front of him: "You thieves, scholars, are great scholars, how can you surrender to you evil people? If you have the courage, come and kill me!"

"Huh?" The robber in the lead was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect that the thin boy in front of him had such courage.

"The third leader, this kid is a scholar!" A robber next to him said to the leader in a low voice.

"I didn't expect you to be very brave. I'll ask you something. If the answer is done, you might be able to spare your life." The third leader said to Huang Xiao.

"Hmph! If you want to kill, kill, why do you need to say too much?" Huang Xiao was completely willing to do so.

"Are you really a scholar?"

"How can there be false?" Deep down, Huang Xiao still attaches great importance to his identity as a scholar. After all, as a scholar, isn't it just for the exam to get fame? Even if he just said, "The most useless is a scholar," he actually cared about it.

"That's good, take it away!" Sandangjia smiled and waved his hand.

Before Huang Xiao could figure out the situation, he saw two big men coming out from the opposite side, one left and one right, and set him up.

"What do you want to do?" Huang Xiao knew that the robbers in front of him seemed not to want to kill him, and that momentum just now disappeared, so his instinctive fear and fear returned to him.

"Boy, you are lucky. Our boss will invite you." A robber holding Huang Xiao laughed.

Although Huang Xiao struggled for a while, with his strength, he could be ignored in the hands of these two great men.

Half an hour later, Huang Xiao was taken to a mountain valley, where a simple copycat was built. Huang Xiao found that this place was not entirely ferocious robbers, there were many old, weak, women and children in the copycat, and he also found that after these robbers came back, the vicious look on their faces disappeared. Huang Xiao thought about it, this was their copycat, and there was no need to look so fierce.

"Big boss, see who I brought to you?" The third boss took Huang Xiao into a yard in the middle of the mountain village and shouted.

It seems that he brought him to meet the robber. Huang Xiao was a little nervous. He didn't know what the robber wanted to do, but no matter what he did, there was no good thing.

"Third brother, you are back, you have said that you don't have to call the boss when you get home. Just shout outside." A middle-aged man came out of the house and smiled, "Huh? This little brother?"

"Yes, brother, he is a scholar." said the third brother.

"Scholar?" After hearing this, the elder brother was happy and walked quickly to Huang Xiao.

Huang Xiao retreated fearfully and shouted, "You thieves, who do many evil things, will be retribution."

After seeing Huang Xiao's somewhat panicked expression, the eldest brother hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand, little brother, we are not real robbers. We just plunder some landlords who are unkind on the mountain road because we can't survive. We will not hurt ordinary people. Third brother, did you take something from Brother Xiucai?"

"How can it be? Look, these are his two packages, I will take them all for him. Look at his appearance, although he is not like the poor scholar in our village before, it is not much better." The third brother placed the two packages in his hand next to Huang Xiao's feet.

Huang Xiao looked at the two of them and was a little confused. Could it be that the two people in front of him were really not robbers? Or they were lying to him, but there seemed to be no need to lie to him. Although he thought so, Huang Xiao could not completely believe them in his heart.

"Don't talk too much, you go back first." The eldest brother didn't let the third brother continue. After seeing the third brother leave, he looked at Huang Xiao and sorted out the package, and then asked with a smile, "Little brother, don't worry, we are all ordinary people, we will not rob the things that exploit our landlords and old wealth."

"Everything is there." Huang Xiao replied.

"That's good. My name is Liu Qiang, and I am the leader of this copycat." Liu Qiang said.

"Master Liu, since you are not bandits, then let me leave, right?" Huang Xiao said.

"Little brother, I just hope you can stay in the parcel for a few days and help me a little favor. In a few days, I will definitely send you out." Liu Qiang said.

"What do you want me to do?" Huang Xiao didn't know what he could help.

"Actually, it's very simple for you. I can't read and there are no literate people in the copycat, so I would like to ask you to explain the meaning of a book to me." Liu Qiang said with a smile.

"It's that simple?" Huang Xiao was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Liu Qiang asked him to help.

"Yes, it's very simple for you scholars, but for us illiterate people, it's harder than climbing to the sky." Liu Qiang smiled bitterly.

"Okay, I can help you." Huang Xiao said.

"Thank you so much." Liu Qiang smiled, but he immediately asked again, "Little brother, do you know martial arts?"

"Martial Arts?" Huang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then asked back, "If I knew martial arts, how could you bring it here?"

Liu Qiang smiled awkwardly and said, "I offended this time so much. Please forgive me, brother. By the way, brother, what do you call me?"

"Huang Xiao." Huang Xiao said, "Okay, give me the book, I'll explain it to you."

"No hurry, no hurry. It's too late. You can stay here first, and tomorrow is not too late." Liu Qiang said.

Since Liu Qiang said so, Huang Xiao naturally made arrangements based on him.

That night, when Huang Xiao was about to go to bed, a knock on the door sounded outside the door.

When Huang Xiao opened the door, he found a girl standing outside. She looked about eleven or twelve years old. Although she was wearing a coarse cloth, she could not hide her pretty appearance.

"Are you the elder brother Huang, the third uncle invited today?" Before Huang Xiao could speak, the girl looked at Huang Xiao and asked first.

"That's right, I don't know the girl?" Huang Xiao replied, but he muttered in his heart that he was not invited today, but captured.

"Then you must know a lot. Can you teach me to read words?" The girl asked happily when she heard Huang Xiao admit it.

"This?" Huang Xiao hesitated for a moment. Although he didn't know who the girl's surname was, he also knew that it was probably the daughter of the Liu Qiang family. He could not live here for a long time, so he naturally could not teach her anything.

"Brother Huang, is that okay?" The girl looked at Huang Xiaoba and blinked her big eyes and said expecting.

"Let me think about it." Huang Xiao would definitely not agree. After helping Liu Qiang explain the book he couldn't understand tomorrow, he left here. Regardless of whether it was a robber's nest or not, it had nothing to do with him.
