Chapter 324: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
It was a dawn breeze and waning moon, a cold and lonely autumn, full of mountains and fields, and the old face of the past seemed to be changing into a new dress at the moment, welcoming a new beginning.
But all this, all this beauty, is unchanged for him.
When the door of memory was gently clicked, the memory overflowing from the crack in the door was so heavy and so sad.
He, a skinny little boy dressed in tatters, with a yellow face and skinny skin, walked aimlessly, and wherever his footsteps stopped, there was home.
It wasn't until the evening of that day, when he cowered against a thick tree, and accidentally glimpsed the pair of green eyes around him, that he saw the face of death for the first time.
His intuition told him that it was the wolf there.
He came to his senses immediately, and although he was so hungry that he could no longer remember when he had eaten his last meal, he did not have a chance to think about it, so he ran away.
Although he didn't know if he could get rid of them, he knew that if he didn't run, he would definitely die.
It was already evening, let alone in the wilderness, and it was an unprecedented thing to be able to meet people, let alone meet someone who knew martial arts.
But maybe God has mercy, the boy really met someone, this person is Luo Du, that is, the Tanglin bandit who is close in front of him.
Luo Du rescued Huang Xiaojia and taught him martial arts, and half a year later, the two parted ways, one ended up in the army, and the other embarked on the road of bandits.
Life is so capricious, it's like a joke from God, when two people meet again more than ten years ago, they are already in two completely different positions.
"How do you know it's me?" Knowing this relationship, Luo Du was no longer as silent as before, but took the initiative to ask.
"Yes. Huang Xiaojia pointed at the axe not far away with the finger holding the sword.
Also, how can such a distinctive thing not make people think clearly.
"Huh. Luo Du just laughed self-deprecatingly.
Looking back, it looks like the scenes of the past were just experienced yesterday, and looking back at the present, the joke is so big.
"What are you here for?" asked Huang Xiaojia straight to the point.
If Luo Du and his party came to Tiger Roaring Mountain to ambush Tian Yuan's soldiers, this is completely implausible.
You must know that Luo Du and his party were already there when Huang Xiaojia came, how could they know that these people were going back.
Could it be that they tried their luck and stupidly lurked in Tiger Roaring Mountain, which is ridiculous.
Therefore, the appearance of Luo Du and his party has nothing to do with Tian Yuan, and they must have their own reasons.
"Do you know how the Tanglin bandits were formed? Why do people from the outside world attach the word bandits to Donglin?" Thinking that it was a foreign acquaintance, Luo Du's words box was also opened, although he did not answer Huang Xiaojia's question, but the question he raised was obviously the following.
"Isn't it because there are too many bandits here in Tanglin, so they are called Tanglin bandits?" Huang Xiaojia thought about it, but still couldn't figure out a thought, and said casually perfunctorily.
"Huh. Luo Du smiled weakly, as if he was a little depressed.
"It's no secret that the geography of the desert is the worst today, but it's even tougher. As he spoke, he paused and looked at Huang Xiaojia.
"Tanglin, the West, it does not mean that the land is barren, but the lack of resources and materials, and it can be imagined over time. When Luo Du said this, his eyes were a little melancholy, a sense of powerlessness that mourned his misfortune and angered him.
"Then how are you..."Huang Xiaojia wanted to speak and stopped, he remembered that ten years ago, this Luo Du seemed to be just a hunter, not a bandit, so he couldn't believe it when he saw him for the first time.
"You must know that there is no right or wrong in many things, and there is no reason for this Tanglin bandit to be unified by someone behind it. ”
Huang Xiaojia nodded silently when he heard this, if there is no one to lead such a powerful force as the Tanglin bandits, then in the end, they will only go their own way and face the danger of being broken.
In the same way, the fact that the people behind this can command the bandits of the entire Tanglin undoubtedly shows that their methods are powerful.
"I met a group of like-minded people, but we didn't join the organization, and after we rejected each other's invitations, they naturally started to kill. ”
"What? You didn't join the bandit organization in Tanglin?" Huang Xiaojia said this, her face was a little happy, I don't know why.
"No, so we made each other lively and engaged them. Luo Du's words are here, in fact, things have become clear.
That is, ten years ago, Huang Xiaojia and Luo Du separated, Huang Xiaojia traveled all over the country, and finally entered Tianyuan as a soldier, and Luo Du, a hunter, met like-minded people, and in the end, whether it was forced by life or harsh government, they chose the path of banditry.
It's just that they didn't join the organization, and in the end they quarreled with each other, and inevitably went to war.
"Yes, as the person behind the scenes, he wants to coordinate the bandit forces of the entire Tanglin, but you are actually contrary to his philosophy, so naturally you have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Huang Xiaojia said as she couldn't help but praise her wit.
"But what does this have to do with why you appeared in Tiger Roaring Mountain?" Although there are still some entangled life-saving graces between the two, one yard is one yard, which does not mean that Huang Xiaojia will be soft-hearted.
Looking at the serious expression and unsmiling face in front of him, Luo Du nodded imperceptibly, the little boy who needed shelter back then has really grown up now.
"It is said that somewhere in Tiger Roaring Mountain, there is a passage leading directly to the Tanglin bandits, the inner base camp, so we decided to fight against the water. Luo Du said succinctly.
However, Huang Xiaojia knows how much determination is behind this simple sentence.
"Since you're looking for that passage, why did you attack us? The next moment, Huang Xiaojia changed his words.
I saw Luo Du smile helplessly, and then he spoke, "There are so many of you, rather than being discovered by you, let's take the initiative first." ”
"And in this way, you can not only replenish your reserves, but maybe you can also lead this matter to the Donglin bandits, so that you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, right?" Huang Xiaojia smiled and spoke, but the smile at this time was like a little fox.
"Huh. was said by the other party, Luo Du did not refute, and smiled wryly.
When the two talked about this, all the things were clear, and Huang Xiaojia could see that the other party was not lying.
