Chapter 2 Heroes Have Dreams
In this world of the jungle, not only ordinary people will be divided into three, six, nine and so on, even if it is the same profession, there is a hierarchy, for example, in this escort mission, there are also mercenaries, there are combat mercenaries who are only responsible for fighting, and then there are service mercenaries like Uncle Xu and Chen Donglai, who are specifically responsible for stalking and miscellaneous work, and they are also the most statusless mercenaries.
Looking at the combat mercenaries, riding high-headed horses, with a magical look, Chen Donglai was annoyed for a while, how could he have suffered such a nest, so he couldn't help but complain to Uncle Xu, "Uncle Xu, you said that they are also people, why is the gap so big?"
"What do you want? Everyone is a martial artist, of course they are a human being!"
"Uncle Xu has something I want to ask you, when I was boxing just now, my heart suddenly beat faster, and the blood felt faster, and finally I sprayed two mouthfuls of black blood, I wonder if I was poisoned!" Chen Donglai looked at Uncle Xu with a nervous expression.
"Oh, really?" Uncle Xu grabbed Chen Donglai's wrist, and then said to himself, "Creation!
"Uncle Xu, what the hell is going on with me!" Chen Donglai looked at Uncle Xu with an anxious expression.
"It's not a bad thing to rest assured, do you feel that you have a lot more strength now?" Uncle Xu suppressed his shock, and asked Chen Donglai calmly.
"Don't tell me it's really like that! I feel like I'm full of energy!"
"Didn't you just ask how to become a martial artist?
"What!" Uncle Xu's words caused Chen Dongkai to exclaim in surprise, causing the people around him to look at him in surprise.
Chen Donglai knew that he was out of shape, so he quickly calmed down his emotions and hurriedly whispered: "Uncle Xu, you're not joking, are you!
"You can only be regarded as just getting started, there is still a long way to go! It is too difficult to become a martial artist, not to mention anything else, it is not easy for us to get the exercises and martial arts, not to mention that becoming a martial artist not only requires exercises and martial arts, but also requires resources that are even more prohibitive!" Uncle Xu sighed.
"Listen to what you mean, although the exercises are difficult to obtain, there is still a chance?" Chen Donglai heard the meaning of Uncle Xu's words and continued to ask.
"At present, there are four ways to get martial arts. The first is the kind of person with a little qualification, who can sell himself to the nobility and serve as a slave to the noble, of course, this kind of slave has a much more status than a slave, and if he performs well in the future, he will have the opportunity to be absorbed by the aristocratic family as a person with a foreign surname;
The second level is the kind with excellent qualifications, you can join the sect, where the cultivation environment and resources are of course the best;
The third is like us, you can spend money and task points, and exchange exercises and martial arts with the trade union, although this is the most direct, but neither money nor points are decimals, like us, don't think about it in ten or twenty years;
The fourth is that luck goes against the sky, encounters the place where the predecessors sit and transforms, and gets the inheritance. ”
Uncle Xu glanced at Chen Donglai, sighed and continued, "And even if you get the martial arts, you don't have a lot of resources and famous teachers to guide you, don't talk about becoming a martial artist when the time comes, it's good to be able to practice yourself and abolish yourself!"
Uncle Xu's words made Chen Donglai stunned, "If you don't have resources and famous teachers to guide you, why would you abolish people?"
"Hmph, how can it be so easy to become a martial artist, the slightest mistake will go crazy, and you must compete with people everywhere for resources, death and injury are inevitable, and it is good to end up with a lifelong disability, maybe it is normal to expose the corpse in the wilderness in the end!"
glanced at Chen Donglai and continued, "Remember that cripple Wu in our alley, he was brave and ruthless outside, and in the end, he was merciful to others, but he was disabled, and now he walks with a limp, so you'd better live honestly with me, don't think about those messes!"
"A great husband was born between heaven and earth, how can he live under man day by day? I, Chen Dong, will be a hero in my life, and I will be a ghost in death!!"
Chen Donglai's words directly startled Uncle Xu, and at the same time made Uncle Xu's heart, which was already unwavering, tremble, and he silently kept chanting the sentence "Life is a hero, death is also a ghost", and then he was silent!
Chen Donglai also immediately realized that he had spoken a little too much, after all, Uncle Xu had been a low-level mercenary all his life, and he didn't say this from the side to say that Uncle Xu was incompetent, so both of them fell silent. Du tacitly did not speak, and followed the caravan silently
。。。。。。。。。
After a whole day of hurrying, the whole convoy of people became gloomy like the sun at sunset, and I only hoped that the leader would find a place to camp as soon as possible, and rest in a good situation.
At this moment, the front of the convoy suddenly drank "Be careful!" The leader's words were like a stimulant, instantly dissipating the fatigue of the convoy, and the whole team immediately clenched the weapons in their hands and stared around cautiously.
"We are the caravan of the Wang family of Zhangyang City, I don't know which way you are friends, please give our family master a few thin noodles, our Wang family of Zhangyang City will be grateful!!" The leader in front of him said his way out loud to the dense woods with thousands of faces.
"Zhangyang City Wang family, it's easy to say, no matter what I say, I have to give your family master Wang Heng a little face, so that half of the caravan's goods are left, you can leave!" An arrogant voice came from the woods.
"In this way, Your Excellency is ready to settle with our Wang family?" Hearing the words coming from the woods, the team leader knew that the other side had no intention of talking at all.
Wanhua Continent is the weak, bandits are rampant, it is common for caravans to encounter robberies outside, generally speaking, caravans will break their fortunes and avoid disasters when they encounter this situation, and the bandits also pay attention to the long flow of water, and will not do things absolutely, so they will be released if they charge a certain toll, but like this time, the direct lion opened his mouth, and half of it is basically not to talk about it.
"Hmph, don't be ashamed, then don't blame us for being polite!" After saying that, the originally quiet woods instantly appeared in rows of strong bows, surrounding the caravan.
Seeing the posture of the bandits, the caravan leader's face changed drastically, although he expected that this group of bandits would be more difficult, but he didn't expect that they were so well prepared, and even had a strong bow.
It stands to reason that this is just a simple commodity escort mission, and the total value is no more than 10,000 gold coins, so it is impossible to attract the robbers who are as strong as scheduled! But in the face of the current situation, the arrows have to be sent on the bow, and the leader has to order the caravan to prepare for battle.
Just when the leader Wang Lung was ready to fight to the death with the bandits on the opposite side, a pleasant voice suddenly came from the caravan carriage: "Brother Wang Lung, give them our goods, for this money, so that the big guy will not lose his life!!"
"Miss, this batch of goods is gone, how can you go back and explain to the head of the house?" Wang Lung became even more excited when he heard the words in the carriage.
"You can earn it again when the money is gone, but the lives of the brothers are really gone, don't say it, just do what I say!"
"Alright!" then turned to the bandit on the other side and said, "Half of the goods for you, let us go!"
"Hehe! Now I know that it's given, but it's a pity that it's too late! Now all the goods are left, listening to the voice in the carriage should be your young lady, I heard that Miss Wang is as beautiful as a flower, and she is a famous celebrity in Zhangyang City, let her come out and let everyone see what these ladies are like!"
At this time, Uncle Xu and Chen Donglai glanced at each other and exchanged glances, it seems that this matter can't be good!
