Li Kui, Chen Er, Hei Pi and Zhu Gan were each carrying a basket and walking on the mountain road. The baskets were covered with black cloth, making it impossible to tell what was inside.
Pei Yun was walking in the front. He originally wanted to ask a few people to push a shopping cart, but considering that the mountain road was difficult to walk on and the shopping cart was difficult to push, he gave up the idea.
As for what was in the basket, it was of course the "bride price" he prepared.
Pei Yun had no impression of Sun Erniang from Erlongzhai, and his previous life had never dealt with Erlongzhai.
Some of the information was heard from Li Kui.
Sun Erniang's original name was Sun Niaoniao. Because she was the second child, she was called Sun Erniang. Her father was the leader of Erlong Village. Before he died, he did not pass the position of village leader to the eldest brother Sun Yu, but passed it to Sun Niaoniao.
Sun Yu liked being a ranger and didn't like staying in the village, so he had no objection.
Erlongzhai is quite far from Qingyan Mountain, and Pei Yun and his companions did not arrive until almost evening.
whoosh!
An arrow shot at Pei Yun's feet, and then bandits appeared and surrounded Pei Yun and others.
Seeing this scene, Pei Yun felt that Sun Erniang was an important figure. Even in this year of famine, her vigilance was still so high. Although these bandits looked skinny and had little fighting power, they reflected Sun Erniang's management ability of the mountain stronghold.
Li Kui blushed a little. The bandits from Heifeng Village just lay on the ground to bask in the sun and didn't even notice someone coming to their door. However, the bandits from Erlong Village were discovered before they even got close to the gate.
But why are they all women?
"Who are you? What are you doing in Erlong Village?"
Among the bandits surrounding them, one of the female bandits spoke up.
Pei Yun smiled and bowed, "I am Pei Yun, the head of Yiyun Village. I have come to pay a visit to your village leader Sun. Please pass on the message."
The female bandit looked Pei Yun up and down and asked, "Are you the Pei Yun who kidnapped Magistrate Xue's daughter?"
Pei Yun had not expected that his reputation had spread so far. Erlongshan had almost left the scope of Ruifeng County, and the other party actually knew that he had kidnapped the county magistrate's daughter.
It seems that this thing done by the predecessor has really become famous.
He smiled slightly, "That's me."
"You wait."
After the female bandit finished speaking, she headed towards the village and returned shortly afterwards, "The village leader wants you to pass through."
The female bandits who surrounded Pei Yun and others made way for them, but remained wary of them.
…
Erlongzhai.
Sun Erniang was already standing in the yard outside, her posture as straight as a pine tree, her eyes and brows revealing a heroic spirit that was no less than that of a man. She had a high nose bridge, large and bright eyes, and the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, which showed a bit of sharpness and decisiveness.
He had a slender figure, broad shoulders and a thin waist. He was wearing a tight short shirt with his cuffs and trouser legs tied tightly with cloth belts, making him look neat and tidy. He had a deerskin waist bag slung around his waist.
Standing next to her were ten female bandits, who were her ten confidants. The stronghold was also full of women, with no male bandits at all.
Pei Yun entered the village gate and saw Sun Erniang at first sight. Although the village was full of women, Sun Erniang was like a firefly in the dark night, so bright and outstanding.
Even though these female bandits were all wearing short clothes of the same color and style, they could still recognize who the village leader was at a glance.
It was the first time that Pei Yun saw such a heroic and attractive woman.
Although her face looked pale due to hunger, it did not affect her beauty at all.
"Pei Yun has met Master Sun."
Pei Yun stepped forward and spoke. Sun Erniang nodded and said, "I wonder what important matter has Master Pei come to my Erlong Village for?"
"I like to get straight to the point, so I won't beat around the bush. I heard that the Sun family has a rule that you marry whoever beats you, and Erlongzhai is the dowry. I wonder if this is true."
Sun Erniang frowned slightly. "So you are here to compete."
"good."
"What about the betrothal gift?"
Pei Yun clapped his hands, and immediately Li Kui and others put the basket on the ground and then uncovered the black cloth.
When they saw what was in the basket, the women in Erlong Village couldn't help but gasp and couldn't take their eyes off it.
Even Sun Erniang was like this, with disbelief in her big eyes, and she was obviously shocked.
The basket naturally contains various foods.
Rice, flour, pork, vegetables and even fruit, things they had hardly seen since the famine began.
The 'bride price' that Pei Yun brought was so rich that it strongly impacted the eyes and brains of everyone in Erlongzhai.
Li Kui looked at the shocked expressions of these female bandits and inexplicably felt a sense of superiority. He had been shocked before, and now it was finally the turn of others to be shocked.
But why are there only women left in Erlongzhai? There were men there before.
Could it be that he was killed and eaten?
Li Kui felt a little disgusted. He had always heard that the status of male bandits in Erlong Village had not been high since Sun Erniang took over. He did not expect that there was none left now.
This might be a man-eating tigress!
Sun Erniang used a lot of willpower to take her eyes away from the food and look at Pei Yun.
"I heard that you kidnapped the county magistrate's daughter. These were obtained in exchange for her."
There was sarcasm in his tone.
As a woman, she certainly knew what would happen to a woman if she was kidnapped by bandits, and she despised such behavior.
Pei Yun smiled and said, "You are wrong. This is all the food from my Yiyun Village. Kidnapping the county magistrate's daughter was just a misunderstanding. I let her go down the mountain and I don't want anything."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I just want to ask you whether you want to compete or not."
Sun Erniang sneered, "Of course, there is no reason to refuse the betrothal gift that is delivered to your door. But don't regret it if you lose later."
