Chapter 13: The Male Disaster (Part II)
I took a short break in the men's camp, but this was a place of right and wrong after all, and I quickly commanded everyone to move south with things and things. As for the jailers and the campers, I put them in their cells after they were tied up, and it would be at least a day before they were discovered.
According to the original plan, we marched in the opposite direction of the daughter country, before dawn, a village and town appeared in front of us, I asked Wu Ying to find out how many people there were, Wu Ying waved his hand and said: "Platoon leader, carry out the order." Qi Xiaohuan said: "Yes!" Then he led a class of men.
I looked at Wu Ying and smiled: "You kid is quite good at learning and selling big fish and eating small fish." ”
Wu Ying smiled: "I want to give them more opportunities to exercise." ”
After a while, Qi Xiaohuan came back and said: "It's a big village, there are more than 100 families, I didn't alarm them." ”
I said, "Well done, you'll be in charge of the investigation in the future." ”
I discussed with Geng Ling: "Do you go through it directly or bypass it?" ”
Geng Ling said: "The brothers are still wearing prison clothes, and they have to attract attention everywhere when it is dawn, so I have to say that we have to 'borrow' some clothes from the people here." ”
Yu Manli was worried: "Will people lend it to us?" ”
Liu Sijiao squeezed his eyes and said: "It has to be a last resort, they have to borrow it if they don't borrow." ”
I looked at Yu Manli worriedly and said, "Bai Chang is so big, he is not even as good as Liu Sigao as a woman." ”
Yu Manli said: "She used to be an official, how can I compare?" ”
Liu Sigao said: "Don't call me Sigao in the future, my big name is Liu Jing." ”
I waved my hand and said, "Okay, let's 'borrow' clothes from the people!" ”
These people knew the meaning of the song when they heard it, and they were not from a serious background, so they squeezed their eyebrows together and responded: "Okay." ”
"But let me make it clear," I said aloud, "borrowing and borrowing must be polite, and only limited to clothes, and not to be interested in wealth, let alone lustful!" ”
Yu Manli whispered: "You just need to be optimistic about Liu Sijiao, what is the heart of our man's family?" ”
A cadre of people poured into the village, saw the clothes on the clothes pole stretched out their hands to take, there was the courage to rush directly into the house to rummage through the cabinets, it is conceivable that the team of more than 1,000 people, this quiet small village was made in an instant into a black miasma, chickens and dogs jumped, men called children to cry, but there were quite a few women brave and abnormal, although they did not dare to resist, but they scolded loudly.
After a while, a few village girls came to see me tremblingly with an old lady, who had probably just been woken up from the bed, and finally figured out the situation before she said in a loud voice: "Hero, hero spare life." ”
The village girls said, "This is our patriarch, and we want to negotiate with your leader." ”
I hurriedly stepped forward to support me, and said politely: "Old lady, don't be afraid, we really can't help it, don't worry, we will ask for a few clothes, and nothing else will be moved." "Although this is not China, we must not forget the tradition of respecting the old and loving the young.
The old lady was dizzy, grabbed my arm and said, "Auntie, we are in the poor countryside, and we really don't have what you want." ”
Geng Ling whispered in my ear: "'Auntie' is generally the name of the common people for bandits. ”
I rolled my eyes and said, "Damn, you bandits are even women?" I stretched out my hand and shook it in front of the old lady's eyes and said, "You are optimistic, we are men." ”
"Huh?" The old lady was demented for a long time, and finally realized the correct word to call the bandits: "Good man, be merciful." ”
I cried and laughed: "Auntie, we are not bandits. ”
The old lady was startled and said, "Me is not either!" "This lady is wrong...... Qi Xiaohuan came to me and whispered, "Brother Long, this village is poor enough, and the average household does not have three or four pieces of clothing. ”
I wondered, "Isn't this place very close to the capital, and the common people are so poor?" ”
Qi Xiaohuan said: "Isn't this going to war with the Heggis Continent?" The young and strong women of the village have all gone to war, and there is no one to farm, leaving behind the old, weak, sick and disabled. ”
After listening to this, I couldn't bear it, and said to Geng Ling: "Give money." ”
Geng Ling said: "What kind of money?" ”
"Give as much as you can from other people."
"Oh." Geng Ling responded, took out a piece of gold and put it in the old patriarch's hand: "Is this enough?" ”
The old lady didn't expect the bandits to give money after robbing the things, and weighed the weight of the gold, so she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and said vigorously: "Enough, enough." ”
I was disheartened and said, "Tell everyone to close the team and continue on the road." ”
As a result, under the call of the old patriarch, the whole village gathered at the entrance of the village to give us a farewell ceremony, and many people asked earnestly: "When will the heroes come again?" ”
…… This operation only confiscated or said to buy less than 300 sets of clothes, which were changed by a few people, and the others were still wearing prison clothes, which made our team look a little more tragic and tragic in exile, Qi Xiaohuan said to me halfway: "Brother Long, we have more than a dozen more people." ”
I wondered, "How much?" ”
Qi Xiaohuan said: "They are all villagers from that village, children raise men, and when they see that we don't beat or scold the locals, they are willing to go with us." ”
"Child boys?" I immediately had no teacher: "It's the same reason as a child daughter-in-law, right?" ”
Qi Xiaohuan said: "Some were abducted and trafficked, the village was too poor, and many women couldn't afford to marry men, so they spent money to buy them from traffickers." ”
I'm messy in the wind, what does it mean that I can't afford to marry a man? And then I also have relatives, it seems that no matter where you are in the daughter country or where, no one wants to follow you if you don't have a car or a house, but human traffickers are hateful wherever they are! I was indignant and said, "If you want to follow us, bring it!" ”
Qi Xiaohuan said: "I have promised them." Said mournfully, "When I see them, I think of my own life experience, if I had met Brother Long earlier, I wouldn't have to suffer in those years." ”
Yu Manli also said indignantly: "I shouldn't have given them money if I knew it, she said that we were bandits, what should we be polite to them?" ”
I said: "Remember, we are not bandits, in the future, I will set up a rule, no matter where I go, I am not allowed to take a stitch from the masses, and I have to pay according to the price, we were also forced to be helpless, even if the court wants to kill us all, we can't give them such a handle, in the end, even if we can't run, the people think we are good, it is also a back road." ”
Geng Ling said: "Xiaolong did the right thing. ”
Liu Jing said with a smile: "It's really rare for a man to have such insight. ”
I was stunned and said, "What is this, I will let you see real men in the future." ”
Yu Manli said excitedly: "Don't say anything else, just say that Brother Long's move to kill back to the men's prison camp is too powerful, Brother Long, how did you come up with it?" ”
I disdainfully said: "This trick is a fart, it is all in third-rate novels, so you should be a treasure." Then I smiled and said, "But it's enough to deal with women." ”
Liu Jing was unconvinced: "You are also a little smart, there are many female generals in your daughter's country who can fight, but you haven't met them." ”
I waved my hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's not discuss the issue of men and women, in the final analysis, this is the real internal contradiction of the people, men can't do without women, and women can't do without men." ”
Liu Jing pouted and said, "Who can't live without a man?" ”
Yu Manli also said-for-tat: "No one can't do without women." ”
I raised my hand and said, "I can't live without women!" "That's the truth, it's long before I left it for the first time. When I was fine, I loved to pay attention to beautiful girls, robbed them of candy when I was in kindergarten, pulled their pigtails in elementary school, wrote love letters to them in middle school, and began to hunt like a prey in college, I like to buy magazines with beautiful women on the cover, I like to watch movies on large scales, and even buy socks on Taobao I like to deal with female merchants, that one "pro" calls over to make your heart soft, and you are embarrassed to go offline if you don't buy a socks for three or five hundred yuan. In short, it is precisely because of women that men are willing to live a long and healthy life, and without women, how boring the world would be!
Who knew that after I finished saying this, Wu Ying Yu Manli and they looked at me with strange eyes, and finally Yu Manli couldn't help but lean over and whispered: "Brother Long, you won't really do that, right......"
I'm speechless, is it so much of a sin to like a woman? I snorted and laughed, "Sooner or later, I'm going to make you like women." ”
Yu Manli covered her face: "Oh, Brother Long, you are too ashamed." ”
I'm speechless again...... Fortunately, no matter what the self-positioning is, a man is a man after all, and we made a trip with all our strength, and finally left the capital far behind in the afternoon, and in the afternoon it was about forty or fifty miles, and there was a continuous mountain in front of us.
At this time, everyone's physical strength finally reached the limit, I asked everyone to eat and rest on the spot, while discussing the future plans with Geng Ling, Geng Ling said: "From now on, to the west is Yecheng, but it is difficult for so many of us to cover up the tracks, Yecheng can't go, to the east is this mountain, I suggest let the brothers rest and recuperate, let's go over the mountain overnight." ”
I said, "What about after you cross the mountain?" ”
Geng Ling said: "I've thought about it, my daughter country can't tolerate us, and the only way out at present is to go to other countries to join the army." ”
"Join the army?"
"Yes, although the Federation Continent and the Heggis Continent have not officially started a war now, but the smoke of gunpowder has risen, and the war in the countries of the Federation Continent is tight, and it is the time when the source of troops is needed, to the west of the daughter country is the Eighteen Nations Alliance with the Hegis Empire only separated by the Black Forest, and further north, is the Honglie Empire that is also on the front line of the Heggis attack, and we people will definitely not be able to ask for it."
Yu Manli said in a panic: "Are you going to fight?" Is there no other way out? ”
Geng Ling said: "Our trouble is already a rebellion in the eyes of the imperial court, even if you want to be a commoner, you can't get it, it's better to ask for a surname to see how men from other countries live." ”
"This ......" I was silent, if I want to go back, it seems that I still have to fall on Su Jing's bracelet and daughter country, if I do what Geng Ling said, wouldn't I want to stay in the Federation Continent forever?
At this moment, I suddenly heard a gong in the woods in front of me, and 100 or so people and horses flew out from it, led by a woman with a double knife on her back, a ribbon tied on her forehead, and three peacock feathers fluttering in the wind, the woman was lazily lying on the saddle bridge, a pair of phoenix eyes looked at us with a smile, and the attendant beside her held a flower spear in her hand, sat on the horse, and said expressionlessly like reading the text: "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to fight this, leave to buy road money, the tooth is broken and half a word, I am in charge of killing and burying." ”
I was stunned and said, "What's the situation, there is also a toll here?" ”
Geng Ling leaned into my ear and said, "We have met real bandits!" ”
Robbery? Robbery? What do you say?
