Chapter 4: The Unexpected

"This mountain is opened by Lao Tzu, this tree is planted by Lao Tzu, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy life money!" The sound of a rough mine sounded loudly on the road ahead of the caravan, and even Li Mu, who was following the team, could hear it from afar.

"Oh no, I've encountered a bandit blocking the road and robbing him, and I don't know if some of the marksmanship I have practiced temporarily in the past few days can protect my mother's safety?" Li Mu's heart chuckled, "Even if I'm afraid, it's useless, just let me go up and meet him for a while!" ”

They came to the front of the caravan, but they didn't see the sword or sword. A dozen or so strong men invited by the caravan lazily carried large swords, and looked at the two faceless people who were standing in the middle of the road at this time with an indifferent look.

Why is it said that you can't see clearly? Because these two people were gray-headed and dirty, and their clothes were tattered, and one of them had a full beard on his face, and although his eyes were like copper bells, they couldn't hide his down-and-out appearance at this time.

Yang Zicheng, who soon followed up, was also puzzled when he saw this, he had walked so many places, and he had seen a lot of people, but he had never seen two people who looked hungry and couldn't even carry a stick in his hand, and he actually had the courage to come here to intercept a caravan of hundreds of people, although he felt very strange, Yang Zicheng was not soft, and hurriedly said to the leader of the caravan's guards: "Let the two of them get out of the way, otherwise they will be sent to Huangquan Road!" ”

"The two heroes on the opposite side listen, we are the caravan of Yangping County, Jizhou, who once killed the thieves and thieves in Taihang Mountain, and also beat the Xianbei people outside the border, if the acquaintance immediately gets out of the way, he can still save his life, otherwise, don't blame me for not recognizing people with the big knife in my hand!" The caravan leader shouted in a loud threat.

The beard on the other side heard that there was no fear in this, but the other person on one side tugged his sleeve a few times, and whispered: "Big brother, let's not rob the road, let's go back to the mountains to be a little minion, and have a bite to eat, if someone is hacked to death here, it will really not be cost-effective." ”

"You kid, you're really cowardly, since I'm not in the company of your thieves in Taihang Mountain, I naturally can't go back, and if I go back, I'll bring humiliation on myself, you see I'll get some entanglement now, let's return to Changshan." The beard still said in a rough voice, for fear that the caravan on the opposite side would not know if the two of them were in a group with the bandits on Taihang Mountain.

The speaker has no intention, and the listener is naturally intentional, when Li Mu heard the beard on the other side calling himself Zhou Cang, his heart fluctuated and fluctuated, "It has been less than a month since I came to this troubled world, and the first person I met was actually quite famous in the Three Kingdoms era, and he was a fierce man who gave Guan the green hat to resist the big knife, but this guy and the Zhou Cang who was the green hat Guan statue did look a little godlike, and he looked like Li Kui in the water margin. ”

"Since I have caught up, I have to take this guy in now, firstly, to save this guy from being hacked to death by the guards of the caravan, and in the future, Guan Cuckold will have one less little brother, and secondly, I will have one more meat shield retinue." Li Mu's evil thoughts had already been thought out in his heart.

"Do it." Yang Zicheng on the side gave an order.

"Brother Yang, do it slowly, let the younger brother come forward to persuade him, and let the two of them leave, so as to avoid a bloody storm and less bad luck." Li Mu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, what are you kidding, just let you slaughter the entourage who swore to follow the cuckold, then this is too a waste of talent.

Yang Zi established the horse and agreed to Li Mu's request.

"The black man on the other side, please listen to me," Li Mu, who stepped forward, hugged his fists and saluted, "I heard just now that the two heroes are unwilling to be in the company of mountain thieves in Taihang Mountain, but why are they robbing houses on this Qingping Avenue?" Do you have anything that you can't be known about? ”

"Actually, it's the two of us who are completely penniless, so hungry that if we don't do this, we're going to starve to death." The entourage around Zhou Cang preemptively said, for fear that Zhou Cang would not open his eyes, and he was about to make a move, and when he saw that the young man opposite was holding a spear in his hand, he knew at a glance that he was not a person to be messed with.

"It's really a shame to mention this! We originally lived in Zhending, Hebei, now there are no relatives at home, some time ago sold the family property, scraped together a little money, and wanted to rush to Hedong to do the business of selling horses, but I didn't expect to pass through the Taihang Mountain, but was blocked by hundreds of thieves, we can't beat those people, were robbed of money, and coerced us to work together in the mountains, we were naturally unwilling, so they were locked up, hungry for four or five days, while they were unprepared, looking for an opportunity to escape here, now is hungry completely dazzled, I didn't have the strength to go, so I had no choice but to do this robbery. Zhou Cang said with a sad face.

"Haha, it's the first time I've done a robbery, no wonder you have so little experience." Li Mu's heart was completely happy, "Actually, you still have the life to be a thief, in the romance, you were born a thief, and you can be bleached until the end, except for Zhao Yun, who is the most famous, you Zhou Cang is also one." "In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after the demise of Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun did such a thing as the King of the Mountain for a period of time.

"It's really a penny to stump you heroes!" Li Mu continued, but there was a look of regret on his face, and then he stared at Zhou Cang and the others with sincere words and complaining eyes: "Since you are now homeless, it is also somewhat similar to my little brother's situation, since we meet again, why should we have known each other, you and I are all fallen people at the end of the world, why don't you two go with me, all the way north, and take refuge in Wangjiazhuang, where your mother's mother is located in Changzi County, this is also better than wandering around, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Cang, who had been staring at Li Mu, was somewhat moved when he heard this, but he also saw that the person opposite was absolutely not well-intentioned, and he co-authored to persuade the two brothers to follow him in the future.

"Big brother, I think the form is compelling, let's just do it, we don't have to do that bandit in the future, we still have food to eat, and there is a place to stay." The buddy on the side had tears in his eyes, and he was very happy to persuade his eldest brother Zhou Cang.

"Although the two heroes can rest assured, Li Mu hereby guarantees that as long as I have something to eat in the future, you two will not go hungry, as long as you follow me, you don't have to continue to bully the township, do bad things, and don't have to live a hard life." Li Mu continued to bewitch Zhou Heizi, who was pure in heart and innocent like a piece of paper, and his brother.

Not to mention that the food is good, but as soon as he heard the words of eating, bowls and the like, Li Mu found that the faces of the two people in front of him were almost full of hunger like a beast seeing the prey, and at this time the nervous mood was completely relaxed, it seems that this came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the first act of recruiting subordinates should be successful immediately.

"Are you telling you true? If the two of us really follow you, if you really feel that you are lying to us in the future, don't blame us for turning our faces and being ruthless," Zhou Cang said directly.

"No problem." A smile appeared on Li Mu's face, and his eyes were full of brilliance.

Seeing Li Mu's tricks and fooling the two entourage, everyone in the caravan not only felt that it was too late to start, but also became more and more respectful of Li Mu, especially Yang Zicheng, who saw the previous scene of not landing at a glance, and completely affirmed the idea that Li Mu was not an ordinary person before.

After Li Mu accepted Zhou Cang and the others, everyone thought that he should be happy, but at this time, he saw his face full of sadness, and he looked distressed, this is because Zhou Cang, the two starving ghosts, had already eaten some of the dry food left by Li Mu and their mother and son in the blink of an eye, and there was not even a little bit of scum left, and they also looked at Li Mu with a look of expectation, which meant that they had not eaten enough.

At this time, Yang Zicheng, who was accompanying Li Mu, saw the situation, pulled Li Mu's still way, came to a secluded place on the side, and said: "Brother, are you worried about the lack of dry food after adding a family?" ”

Seeing that Yang Zicheng was not shamelessly smiling and mocking, and there was a faint sense of concern, Li Mu nodded and agreed, "Exactly." ”

"I see that brother, you have a good face and sophisticated manners, and you will not live under people for a long time in the future, and you will definitely have a great achievement in the future, I don't know if you are willing to accept Yang's funding, this will be a long time, and I will leave a friendship with you, and see you again in the future."

"In this case, thank you Brother Yang, if it is really as you said in the future, I will not forget Brother Yang's help today." Li Mu replied calmly.

After solving the imminent problem of entangling food, Li Mu seemed to be in a good mood, humming some strange songs in his mouth, "Hey~~Today is a good day~~ Auspicious things can be done~~" Then he patted the buddies beside Zhou Cang and asked, "I don't know the name of this brother?" ”

"Under Pei Yuanshao." The guy who was still eating made a sentence, and Li Mu's eyes were full of laughter.
