339, inflated bandits
There are only a few hundred homeless people in this small settlement, and Ren Xiaosu saw that there were children running around at the door of the earthen kiln dug in the distance, and it seemed that this small settlement had taken shape for a long time.
There are many small rivers in the river valley area, and in Ren Xiaosu's mind, where there are rivers, they should be lush and green, but the river valley area is not.
Large-scale sandy soiling on the ground will wash the soil from both sides of the river downwards as it passes, and perhaps in a few years, new valleys will form in the riverbed, leaving a scarred valley on the ground during the dry season or when the river is diverted.
The whole land seemed to be cut by the current.
The places chosen by the displaced people are relatively flat and suitable for growing crops.
Originally, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin planned to live here for a while now, and get to know the bandits in the entire area with the homeless people here.
As they were talking, there was a sudden rise of smoke and dust in the distance, and from a distance, they thought it was a small sandstorm.
An aunt said nervously: "Why is there someone again, whose family is it this time?"
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Is that a bandit coming?"
"Aren't they bandits, the smoke and dust are the sand raised by the motorcycle they were riding," said the aunt as she ran in the direction of the kiln, shouting to the other side, "Take the child back to the kiln." ”
I saw the bandit team in the distance approaching rapidly, and gradually everyone could see the figures, the muscles of the motorcycle they sat on were like beasts, and the sound of the engine and exhaust pipe was like a beast roaring.
This scene is particularly rough and violent.
In the distance, people could hear the excited roars of the bandits, and they saw the homeless people as if they had seen prey.
Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin glanced at each other and mixed in the ranks of the homeless people, planning to wait and see first.
The homeless people seem to have had the experience of coping with each other, and after hiding their children, they stand in a line on the flat land, as if to greet the commander, but the team is crooked, and each other's moods are different.
Ren Xiaosu counted it, there were more than 20 bandits in this group, and they were not a force at all in the entire river valley area, but they didn't know how many people were hiding in their nest.
But I saw the group of bandits riding motorcycles racing and roaring around the homeless, this is the bandits' demonstration, circle by circle, their circle of riding is getting smaller and smaller, and the homeless people can only huddle tightly out of fear.
Gradually, when the faces of the homeless people showed a look of fear, the bandits' team gradually stopped, and one person jumped off the motorcycle and pulled down the scarf he used to cover his mouth: "You are farming here?"
"Yes, yes," said one of the homeless people in fear, "I've been planting here for several years!"
"What's the point of farming," the bandit spat on the ground, spit out the sand in his mouth, and then smiled: "I see that you have a lot of old men here, and a manly man should be born with pride, and he hides here every day to farm, what's the point?"
"But what are we going to eat if we don't farm," the homeless man whispered, "we just want to grow some crops to feed ourselves." ”
"From today on, you will follow me," the bandit leader patted the face of the homeless man in front of him: "Follow me, eat fragrant and drink spicy, it was the consortium that bullied you in the past, and follow me to bully the consortium in the future!"
Ren Xiaosu observed these people, just like Yang Xiaojin said, these people's motorcycles are eighty percent new, and the automatic firearms in their hands are newer than motorcycles.
What's even more exaggerated is that many of these people have two guns on their backs, as if there are too many guns to use.
Maybe the new equipment has given the bandits the confidence, and more than 20 people dare to bully the consortium......
When the displaced people heard that these people were still going to fight with the consortium, they were even more afraid: "We don't fight with the consortium, we will only farm." ”
However, the bandit leader's face sank: "If you don't fight, you have to fight, brothers, escort them all back to me!"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, this is a robbery, probably because there are too many guns, so there are more guns than people now, so this group of bandits has to expand their scale.
This matter must also have something to do with the civil strife in the northern bandits' den, and the entire river valley area is now in chaos, and everyone is starting to behave unruly!
"Do you want to go with them?" Ren Xiaosu asked in a low voice.
"Let's go," Yang Xiaojin responded, "Maybe we can learn more about the current situation in the valley area, and there are only more than 20 of them, if we want to leave, they can't stop them at all." ”
"I mean, if we don't kill them......" Ren Xiaosu muttered.
With guns pointed, the homeless people had no choice but to return to the kiln with their children and be escorted all the way north.
The bandit leader rode a motorcycle next to the team, the motorcycle clicked, and he shouted proudly: "Don't think that I am a domineering person, if you want to say that you are the outermost settlement in the river valley, so I don't know the situation, now in those settlements in the north, people have already been robbed by various mountains, even if we don't take you today, someone else will come tomorrow." ”
"But we won't fight," said the homeless with a sad face.
"Who can't fight, I'll give you a gun, I don't need to save me bullets, just sudden! And it doesn't matter if you don't want to fight, you can do other things," Jin Lan said with a laugh.
I don't know what other things this Jin Lan is talking about, but this sentence confirms Ren Xiaosu's guess, it seems that there are really too many guns and bullets to rob people.
However, Ren Xiaosu pondered how many munitions they had put here, how could it seem that the entire river valley area was in chaos.
If this continues, many people will definitely die in the valley area.
Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp, and this has been the case since ancient times.
And after the war subsides, I am afraid that after the entire river valley area is integrated, a very large bandit organization will be born.
Is this the purpose of Qing Jin, to use killing to sift out the "impurities" in the river valley area, so as to achieve the purpose of integrating the bandits in the entire river valley area? And then hold this force in his hands?
And he just dropped a batch of guns and bullets, and the group of bandits all swelled.
Automatic rifles are a rarity for bandits, but the consortium knows very well that guns and bullets are the least valuable.
Although there is no evidence, Ren Xiaosu has already determined that this must be Qingjin's doing, and there will be no one else.
And Ren Xiaosu is very sure that there must be Qing Jin's followers in this valley area, which is the power he finally used to complete the integration of bandits.
At this time, because the Yang clan was fighting with the Li clan in the south, the northern defense was empty, and each fortress was only left with an independent regiment at most.
If this bandit army goes south, the barrier will definitely not be breached, but if you want to destroy all the factories outside the barrier, I am afraid that it will make Yang's economy breathless for three years at once.
And the Yang clan probably thought that the northern bandits were not to be afraid at this time, after all, which consortium would take the bandits in their eyes and let them play in the mud in the river valley area by themselves.
The Zong clan and the Yang clan are enemies of such an opponent, I'm afraid it will be a big headache.
