Chapter 4 Encounters with Robbers on the Road

Hunan is a hilly area, one mountain after another, and one town after another. Under the leadership of Shi Bin, the two walked and chatted, although the cold wind was howling and the mountain road was difficult, but it was rare for the two to be like-minded and very happy.

A little tired after walking more than ten miles of mountain roads, Wang San was about to discuss with Shi Bin whether to stop and rest, but saw him suddenly lying on the ground and listening with his ears against the grass. Seeing that Wang San didn't realize the danger, he pulled his shirt fiercely, put his middle finger to his lips, and made a silent gesture with a serious face.

Seeing that Wang San was still puzzled, Shi Bin whispered, "There are people, just in that bush." Do you see the footprints on the ground? And the new ones went all the way into the forest. Because this is the only way to enter and exit Xiangtan City, it is a little far away from the county seat, and those defenders are beyond the reach of the whip, so there are often robbers in this area. ”

Thinking of what happened to him some time ago, Wang San has already retreated, after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, how can the two brothers fight with a group of outlaws?

"What to do? It seems that the two of us have to find another way down the mountain. ”

Seeing Wang San frowning and looking worried, Shi Bin smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, these footprints are messy and have clear outlines, which means that there are few people, at most five." ”

"Four or five?"

"There is no mountain king in this mountain, after all, this is not chaotic, it's just a few villagers under the mountain."

Villager? This can make Wang San's mind mush. The gang of ruffians and hooligans at the foot of the mountain occasionally robbed houses. Do the villagers also do this kind of business?

It turned out that in the case of lack of food and clothing in the cold winter or the cold winter, the villagers who lived at the foot of the mountain would also change careers to become green forest heroes, and occasionally came to rob the road. It's just that once Yamashita has enough food and clothing, they will become ordinary people again, and they will be regarded as 'temporary workers'.

"Also, there were indeed only four or five bandits I met last time, and they didn't look like outlaws, they just slashed randomly, otherwise the little brother really couldn't escape." Wang San smiled embarrassedly.

Shi Bin is a very experienced hunter, and he is naturally a good jungle warrior, and after a while, he made a counter-ambush plan:

He and Wang San touched the hill bag from both sides of the woods and split into two roads, Shi Bin first wounded a few robbers with crossbow arrows, and the other bandits saw that he was only one person, and they all came down to pursue. It will no longer be divided into two ways to weaken the strength, and Wang San will naturally collapse as long as he kills the robbers from behind, and it will be even easier if they are divided into two groups.

I quietly touched the small mountain bag, and looked at it from a distance, and sure enough, there were four villager-like people sitting there drinking and chatting. Not far away, there was also an emaciated man hiding behind a tree, staring at Shi Bin and the mountain road they had just walked.

The two of them divided into left and right and quietly crawled over against the ground. Both the hunters and the soldiers were very self-protective, and crawled to a distance of only twenty meters from them, but the robbers still did not notice them.

Shi Bin quietly took out a crossbow arrow and a few thistles from the bag. He scattered the thistle in front of him, then raised his crossbow arrow and began to aim.

Fortunately, there is basically no wind now, and it is easy to aim, so there is no need to adjust the aiming method, and the trigger is slammed on the back of a strong man, and the man falls down in response.

When the other robbers saw the strong man fall, they screamed in fright, and immediately picked up their weapons and rushed to Shi Bin, who was firing the dark arrow. And Shi Bin calmly released an arrow and injured another emaciated robber. After that, he turned around and ran, and pretended to be running for his life with a twisted heart.

After the emaciated man was stimulated by the arrow wound, he was even more desperate, and rushed towards Shi Bin. However, he didn't pay attention to the thistle under his feet, and immediately fell to the ground as soon as he stepped on it, making him scream again and again, and he couldn't stop bursting into foul language, "Grandma, you shameless bastard, you will use some shady tricks。。。。。。 ”

Seeing that the two accomplices were gone, the remaining three guys hesitated. In an instant, Wang San came out from behind with a knife again, and the robbers were still looking at the two injured accomplices in front of them, but they didn't pay attention to the back body, and Wang San put down two of them with a knife. Only one of them dodged quickly, but he was still so frightened that he ran away, ignoring his accomplices.

After all, it was only five little robbers who didn't hurt them, and Shi Bin and Wang San didn't plan to kill them all, so they ran away from the three frightened guys.

But the robber, who was pricked by the thistle terrestris and couldn't escape, could only lie on the ground and struggle. Shi Bin and Wang San walked over together, and the emaciated robber was still scolding, very frightened, and such abuse should be to cheer himself up.

Seeing the two of them walking slowly, it seemed that he was looking at a prey that could not be escaped.

What upset the robber was the guy in a tattered uniform. A sneer on his face, as if he wanted to kill him.

After all, attacking a soldier is a capital crime, and the bandit gradually calmed down and stopped insulting, but there was still a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

"Keep scolding? What, dumb? Wang San looked at him with disdain and sneered.

The man was angry but still didn't dare to make a sound, looking at the long knife in Wang San's hand and the military uniform on his body trembling slightly. But there was still something in my mouth.

"If you are nervous about what you are thinking, you will say it. I look like a wreck, and I feel disgusted when I look at it! Shi Bin glared angrily.

"It's nothing, just scolding the fool you shot with a crossbow arrow."

"Oh? Huh, idiot? Shi Bin asked with a smile.

"Yes, we were originally villagers at the bottom of the mountain, but our lives were too difficult to come up to the mountain to do something. Today he was watching, only telling us that two passers-by came from the other side of the mountain and seemed to have oil and water, but he didn't say that both of you have weapons, and one of them is still a military master. ”

"You mean, if we hadn't won, you'd be ready to make us zombie wilderness? If you scum don't kill you, I can't calm the hatred in my heart! Wang San scolded fiercely.

"Spare your life, the military master spare your life... The emaciated man wailed, "We're just robbing a fortune to eat and feast, there is absolutely no blood debt, not the group of demon kings who have lost their conscience!" ”

At the moment when Wang San was about to swing the knife, Shi Bin stopped him, "Brother, he is also a poor person, just a villager who has no food, let it go." ”

Seeing the man sitting on the ground with his injured leg in his arms, with a trembling look, and thinking about Shi Bin's words, Wang San also lost his killing intent, and then put the knife back into the sheath, and said coldly: "Count your kid's fate, if you meet a benevolent and righteous person like my eldest brother, if Lao Tzu leads the team, you will definitely be slaughtered!" ”

"What's your name?" Shi Bin asked.

"The villain Li Ergou is just a tenant in the village."

"I don't look like a vicious person, but don't do this immoral thing in the future and live a good life. Let's go. ”

"Thank you, thank you." Li Ergou was like being amnestied, turned around and walked away, walked too quickly, and injured his feet, and fell twice in a row.

Before he took a few steps, he was pulled back by Wang San, and when he looked back, it was this fierce god again, Li Ergou was so frightened that he once again lay on the ground and was ready to kowtow.

"Don't look like you're boneless. However, you 。。。。。。。。。。 Did you forget something? Wang San deliberately dragged out his voice and sneered.

"Things? The little ones don't understand. Li Ergou was very puzzled. Shi Bin didn't understand the meaning of Wang San's words, and his face was puzzled.

Shi Bin didn't understand this very well, he let it go, what else?

"Big brother, these guys should have some savings after being robbers for so long, so they should take some out as life money."

Seeing that Shi Bin's face was not very good, Wang San patiently explained: "It's not that the younger brother is greedy for money, but the ill-gotten wealth that these guys get is indeed subsidized for the family, but most of them go to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble without doing a good thing, so it's better for us to take it and do something serious." What's more, after entering the city, you will definitely have to spend money everywhere, and now is not the time to treat money as nothing. ”

felt that this was indeed the case, so he asked Li Ergou to lead the way and lead them to the place where the ill-gotten gains were hidden.

As he walked around the mountains, he finally arrived near Li Ergou's lair, but this place also surprised Shi Bin and Wang San.

The petty robbers, though insignificant in combat, were cunning and hid their ill-gotten gains in a cave that had to be climbed up with vines.

You know, it's very troublesome to enter the cave, not to mention that you have to bring things in, and ordinary people can't imagine that there will be ill-gotten gains hidden there.

Wang San looked at Li Ergou and said with a smile: "Yes, it is really a bit wise to think of hiding these belongings in this cave, whose idea is this?" ”

After hearing this, Li Ergou lowered his head and remained silent, and did not answer Wang San's question. Looking at Li Ergou's appearance, Wang San smiled and said: "I looked down on you, I didn't expect you to come up with this idea, you still have brains!" ”

Just as he was about to be modest, Shi Bin also said to him: "Since you are so smart, you shouldn't do this for a living." I believe that if you work a little harder, you won't have to worry about a bite to eat, why do you want to do such a despicable thing? ”

This is a reprimand to those who have the grace of not killing, Li Ergou even disagrees, and he has to listen patiently. What's more, he was not a fool in the first place, and replied obediently: "What you said is that I will definitely do things well and be a good person in the future." ”

"Wait here, I'll find you later." Before climbing up the cave, Shi Bin said to Li Ergou.

As soon as Shi Bin turned around, a cunning look flashed in Li Ergou's eyes, and Wang San sneered: "If you want to be killed by a crossbow arrow, hurry up and run!" As soon as he finished speaking, he and Shi Bin climbed along the vines into the cave.

A total of more than 200 taels of silver and a few copper coins were obtained, and a few pieces of good leather armor were carried out. It can be regarded as a fruitful harvest, and both of them are smiling.

Although it was not a lot of money, it was enough for the two brothers to spend some time.

As the saying goes, if you have money in your pocket, your waist is hard, and the road in the future will definitely be better, and Shi Bin and Wang San are even more ecstatic when they think of them.

When he came out of the cave and saw that Li Ergou was still sitting there covering his injured foot, Shi Bin couldn't help but feel pity, and took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Li Ergou.

This trick startled Li Ergou, it was already unexpected for him not to kill him, and now he actually gave him five taels of silver, what is going on?

Seeing this, Wang San shouted even more: "Big brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Nothing interesting, didn't you see that he had a foot injury? If you don't have a good cure, you will definitely be lame in the future. In this troubled world, if a cripple is not killed, he will also die, so isn't it still not sparing him? Maybe there will be another malicious robbery. Shi Bin patiently explained, "So, the eldest brother wants to be a good person to give him some money to treat his leg injury, and I believe he will be a man again." ”

Hearing this explanation, Wang San seemed to see a madman, but he didn't want to quarrel because of this, so he shook his head, pointed at Shi Bin and sighed, and said, "Big brother, how can you be like this?" Well, I'll listen to you for the sake of him, who is indeed pitiful and didn't hurt us. ”

The weather was cold, but Li Ergou felt very warm at this time, and Wang San also felt a feeling like a spring breeze, although the two didn't know why they felt this way, but they were both surprised and admired by Shi Bin's decision.

However, Wang San was still a little unhappy, and yelled at Li Ergou: "What are you doing here? If you don't take the money, get out of here, wait for Lao Tzu to cut you? ”

is indeed afraid that this military master will not listen to his eldest brother's words and will draw a knife to cut him, Li Ergou only knelt on the ground and kowtowed, said thank you, and immediately flew away.
