In the late Ming Dynasty, Qingzhu County was surrounded by mountains, with high mountains and dense forests. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. The land was barren and bandits were rampant. The government also sent people to encircle and suppress many times, but they got lost when they entered the mountains and forests, and returned without success every time.
There are many mountains and dozens of large and small villages. There is a village in Huqiu Gang that is very special. In just a few years, its power has grown to hundreds of people, approaching several large villages. What is staggering is that The leader turned out to be a woman.
The leader is called Bao Erniang. She is of medium height, ordinary appearance, and slightly dark skin. It is difficult to be noticed among the crowd. Despite his young age, he is very ruthless in his work. He specializes in robbing wealthy businessmen in the past. Sometimes he will also rob some of the court's grain teams. The reason why he is so rampant is because of the dangerous terrain of Huqiu Ridge. open.
Bao Erniang was originally a farm girl. Her father, Bao Cheng, was an honest tenant farmer. Although her life was hard, she was happy. When Bao Erniang was five years old, Su Xiong, the landlord's son, happened to come to collect land rent. Originally, there was no need for Su Xiong to come in person to collect the land rent. However, in order to establish his prestige, this young master actually came to collect the rent himself this year.
Su Xiong is a prodigal, and he never thought that he would fall in love with Bao Erniang's mother Liu's . After seeing too many vulgar fans in Fireworks and Liuxiang, he accidentally saw a pretty village woman and became obsessed with Liu. He quickly entered the inner hall. After all, Su Xiong was the son of a large family. He remained calm at the moment and had a plan in mind, so he left with his followers.
A few days later, Mrs. Liu went to the market. On the way back, she met Su Xiong, who had been lying in wait for a long time. Someone suddenly jumped out, frightening Madam Liu and taking a few steps back. When he saw the person coming, his face turned pale. Su Xiong did not move out of the way, but whispered a few words in Liu's ear. Liu looked at Su Xiong with a complicated expression, and finally followed Su Xiong away.
Bao Cheng waited and waited until the child's mother came back, so he locked Bao Erniang in the room and gave some instructions. I followed the road to the market alone to find my wife Liu. When we arrived at the market, it was already sunset. Bao Cheng asked around and found out that his wife had followed Su Xiong. He hurried to the landlord's house, but was stopped by his servants when he arrived.
Bao Cheng refused to leave and stayed with his servant Shiba. Su Xiong came over after hearing the news and told Bao Cheng that his wife had left, not long ago, and she might still be able to catch up now. Bao Cheng was doubtful and didn't trust the child, so he turned back the way he came. Hurry and hurry for fear of missing it, and there will be no trace of the lady at home.
Poor Bao Erniang has not eaten since noon when she was young, and now she is ravenous. Bao Cheng quickly made a fire and cooked two bowls of rice porridge, and fed Bao Er to drink some first. Bao Er clamored to find his mother. Bao Cheng was also anxious and calm in his heart. He finally coaxed Bao Er to sleep, but he couldn't sleep a wink all night. At dawn, Bao Cheng took his daughter to the landlord's house.
Su Xiong was afraid of disturbing his father, so he didn't even put on his clothes. He ran out while tying his clothes and said to Bao Cheng, "Didn't I tell you? Your wife came back with me, but she has already left. Bao Cheng said, "But my wife is not at home." Su Xiong said, "That has nothing to do with me. I sent her away." If Bao Cheng believes it, he must break in himself. Search it again before you feel at ease.
"Insolent." Su Xiong shouted: "I've rebelled against you. Someone come and beat me." After giving the order, five or six servants armed with thick wooden sticks gathered around him. Bao Cheng was beaten to a bloody head with a stick. Bao Erniang was so frightened that she cried loudly, attracting some neighbors to watch. Su Xiong was afraid that things would get serious, so he stopped his servants and told Bao Cheng to leave quickly and not to come back again, otherwise he would not be lenient.
Mrs. Liu, who was deceived into the Su Mansion, also stayed up all night anxiously. It turned out that Su Xiong stopped her and said that her husband was in the Su Mansion, but Liu refused to believe it at first. My husband was clearly at home when I went out, so how could he be in Su Mansion now? Su Xiong said: "I passed by the village today and met his husband-in-law who was bitten by a snake. I took him to Su Mansion for treatment.
When I arrived at Su Mansion, I didn't see my husband-in-law. Su Xiong said that her husband-in-law was seriously injured now. , the doctor was treating me, but now I was afraid of disturbing my husband, so I asked him to wait patiently.
Mrs. Liu clamored to go see Bao Cheng at dawn, but the servants would not let her out. Su Xiong came over and pretended to be sad and said, "Your husband's treatment failed and he has passed away." When Mrs. Liu heard the bad news, she fell to the ground and did not recover for a long time. After a while, he said, "Where is the body of my husband-in-law? I want to see my husband-in-law." Su Xiong said regretfully: "It was bitten by a venomous snake. It was burned out for fear of spreading the poison to people.
Mrs. Liu went out as if she was crazy. Chuang Chuang wanted to go home to see his son, but he was so sad that he passed out. After Yuyou woke up, he only heard Su Xiong say: "You have a good rest now, I will pick up the child for you." "Ms. Liu could only agree temporarily. Su Xiong came to the door and gave the servants a few words, and several servants rushed towards Bao Cheng's house.
Bao Cheng was seriously injured and was lying on the kang. After resting, Bao Erniang stayed by her father's side. Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and several men with fierce looks rushed in. They picked up Bao Erniang and left. Bao Cheng tried to grab it, but was pushed down by the big man and his head was heavy. She hit the edge of the kang and was so angry that she vomited out a mouthful of blood and died on the spot.
Bao Erniang was snatched into the Su Mansion and was not taken directly to see Liu. Instead, Bao Erniang was brought to Su Xiong. When Er Niang saw Su Xiong and hugged her, she bit her. Su Xiong slapped her in the face. A servant held down Bao Er Niang. "She can't be allowed to see Mrs. Liu, otherwise the matter will be exposed," Su Xiong thought to himself. He came up with a poisonous plan and just refused to do it.
He gave the servant a few words, and the servant took Bao Erniang out of the city. Unknown to him, the danger was approaching again. After struggling, the servant pushed her to a river. The servant pushed Bao Erniang into the water, and she disappeared after only a few moments of floating. But now she disappeared, and the servant panicked. Confused, he quickly went back to report to Su Xiong.
Su Xiong sent people to burn down Baocheng's house, and went back to falsely tell Mrs. Liu that the child was unfortunately killed. Su Xiong thought that his plot had succeeded, but he didn't expect Mrs. Liu to be strong. The husband passed away, and the child had to survive on his own. Now that the child was gone, he was so dejected that he hit the pillar suddenly.
Besides, this Bao Erniang choked a few times in the river. Afterwards, she started to hold her breath and floated up again. When she woke up, she found herself lying on the shore. She lost her father and mother in one day.
She became an orphan along the way. Stumbling along the river, I came to a small village. I was cold and hungry. I wanted to go into the village to find a bowl of water. The villagers were unwilling to take her in because she didn't know where she came from, so she was driven away mercilessly. In fact, I can't blame the villagers. No one has enough to eat, and those who have more food are more pitiful than others.
When Bao Erniang was helpless, Old Man Liu extended a helping hand to her. This Old Man Liu lived with his son and daughter-in-law, and his son had not yet been married. Go to the grandson.
When Bao Erniang was driven away, he saw that she was very wet and pitiful, so he invited her into the house, found some clean clothes to put on, and gave Bao Er the little rice she had in the house. Mother. Bao Er, who had not eaten for a day, was not polite. He picked it up and ate it hungrily.
Old man Liu sat aside with a smile and asked her to eat slowly. At this time, old man Liu's son Liu Yong and his daughter-in-law Tian came. After returning from the farm work, they were all stunned when they saw the new child at home. The two of them sat down and asked Bao Er where her mother's family was and who was sending her back.
Thinking of her parents, Bao Erniang burst into tears.
Maybe it was because of overflowing motherhood. Tian stepped forward and hugged Bao Erniang and said, "The child is also pitiful. Let's keep her at home first. We will then inquire carefully about whose family has lost the child before sending it to her."
That's it. Er Niang stayed here for more than half a year. She never imagined that Mrs. Tian would be happy at this time. Old man Liu happily said that Er Niang Bao was the virgin who gave birth to a child. Although the days were a little tighter as we had more time to eat, the whole family treated Bao Erniang very well.
In the blink of an eye, Bao Er has lived in Liu Laohan's house for four years, and Liu Yong's son Liu Qing is also three years old.On Liu Qing's third birthday, Old Man Liu and his two children were waiting at home for the return of his son and daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, what awaited was bad news.
It turned out that in order to celebrate his son's birthday, Liu Yong decided to go into the mountains to hunt some game. Tian was worried and went with him. He met some rich men in the town who teased Mr. Tian. Liu Yong got angry and started fighting with them. He was knocked to the ground after a while. In order to protect his father-in-law, Ms. Tian blocked a sap for him, and the two of them survived. Beaten to death.
was discovered by people from the neighboring village and carried back. Old man Liu felt like the world was spinning and he held on to the door frame tightly to prevent him from falling. When Bao Erniang saw the bodies of Liu Yong and his wife, she seemed to see her own parents. A fierce light flashed in her eyes and she clenched her fists tightly.
Old man Liu was struggling to survive alone with a half-year-old child. Bao Erniang was often unable to do anything but go to the streets to beg to support her grandfather and younger brother.
If you are lucky, you can get half a sesame seed cake from a kind person. If you are unlucky, you will not only get no food, but you will also be bullied by the rich kids in the town.
Once, in order to pick up a falling copper plate, Bao Erniang accidentally bumped into a well-dressed middle-aged man and slapped him on the spot several times, making stars pop out of his eyes.
Another time I was really hungry. I saw some beef in the dog bowl of a wealthy family that was tied outside the wall. I tried to get it secretly. After I was discovered, I was beaten and even poured dirty water. .
experienced all the sufferings in the world at a young age.
When Bao Erniang grew up to seventeen or eighteen years old, she was beaten for many years, and she actually developed a kung fu. If he had been honest about farming, things might have been different. Unwilling to be bullied again, Bao Erniang took leave of her grandfather and sister and went to the village.
was ruthless in her work, and within a few years she quickly reached the second position in the village. Although she was a woman, no one dared to look down upon her.
One night, Bao Erniang led people down the mountain to plunder the Su family's house. They plundered all the Su family's granaries. Those that could not be moved were burned on fire. All the family property left by the Su family's business for generations was looted.
The Su family father and son usually do many evil things and offend many people. Now that their family fortune has been burned down and no one is willing to help them, they have been living on the streets and become beggars.
Bao Erniang's reputation is so frightening that people in the world call her the "Female Bandit King".
After Bao Erniang took revenge, she became iron-hearted. In her heart, only Old Man Liu and Liu Qing were the only ties in her heart.
Of course, Old Man Liu didn’t know that his granddaughter turned out to be a famous female bandit king. She would go back every few months and tell Old Man Liu that she had found a job in the city and she would definitely make him and his brother live a good life in the future. day.
Old man Liu believed it to be true and always praised his granddaughter when meeting everyone.
The cottage where Bao Erniang was located became a thorn in the side of the local government, and soldiers were sent several times to destroy the cottage. Once, a traitor appeared in the stronghold and opened the gate at night to let in the soldiers.
The boss Li Hu picked up his sword and went to fight the enemy with two fists. His four hands were seriously injured, and Bao Erniang risked her life to save him.
Li Hu knew that he was about to die soon. He was grateful to Bao Erniang for sacrificing his life to save her, so he passed the position of village leader to her. The first thing Bao Erniang did when she became the leader of the village was to take Grandpa Liu and his younger brother into the mountains.
Old man Liu didn't know that his granddaughter had become a bandit at first and thought he was being held hostage. Knowing that Bao Erniang was a bandit, he always tried to persuade her to change her ways.
Bao Erniang agreed verbally, but still went her own way, as if she was venting her childhood grievances. She would rob wealthy businessmen when they saw them passing by on the road.
A few years later, Bao Erniang robbed the court's grain transport team sent to the north. Wei Changgong sent his capable general Yang Batian to destroy Bao Erniang.
After the previous experience, the defense of the cottage has become stronger. Although the mountain was dangerous, Yang Batian could not bear it and his men were strong. The stronghold was quickly breached, and Bao Erniang did not dare to fight, so she hurried to the back mountain to find Old Man Liu and his younger brother.
led them to escape from the back mountain. Suddenly a cold arrow shot over. Old Liu pushed Bao Erniang away and was pierced through the heart by the arrow. When Old Man Liu was dying, he told Bao Er to correct his evil ways and return to justice. When will the injustice be repaid?Don't remember the past and live a good life with your brother.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were about to catch up, Bao Erniang could only leave Old Man Liu and escape with her younger brother. Watching the cottage behind me burst into flames, I thought about the first half of my life. With tears streaming down his face, he kowtowed heavily in the direction where Old Man Liu fell.
"Grandpa, don't worry! I will definitely change my past and be a good person, raise my brother up, and let him study and bring glory to our ancestors." After saying this, Bao Erniang led her brother away without looking back.
From then on, there was no more female bandit king in the world. Ten years later, a new restaurant opened in Luzhu County. The owner was a woman. Although she looked ordinary, she had an enviable younger brother who was admitted as a scholar. .
Others call the woman Liu Erniang.
