3. Go up the mountain
Finally, the sound of horses' hooves disappeared, and the two people on the ground stood up tremblingly, and Zhu Quan spat fiercely in the direction of Wei Chengyong and their departure, "Phew, a bunch of stinky bandits!" Stinky bandits! ”
Cheng Huaicai's face turned red, and he pointed at Zhu Quan and scolded: "It's all you glutton, if you hadn't delayed the hour yesterday, we would have used to drill the forest early in the morning?" ”
Picked up the paperwork and money bag on the ground, raised his eyes to look around, and continued to scold: "Luocaoling, Luocaoling, it's not a good place when you hear it!" Didn't you say you were familiar with the road? It's good now, not to mention the loss of two seedlings when the time is delayed, how can you explain if you let me go back? ”
Zhu Quan stared at his money bag being held tightly by Cheng Huaicai, and he didn't dare to speak too hard, swallowed his saliva and said: "I've run several times before, and it's okay, and early in the morning, who knew there would be bandits here!" ”
Then he glared at the girls who were still standing in front of the car, and shouted, "Why are you standing stupidly if you don't get into the car yet?" ”
When a few girls got into the car, they turned their heads and asked Cheng Huaicai with a smile: "Master Cheng, are you still tied up?" ”
"It's still a fart, don't hurry up, think about how to explain to the flag owner!"
Cheng Huaicai sat on the frame in annoyance, leaned against the door and turned his face upwards with his eyes closed, secretly thinking to himself. Zhu Quan jumped into the car, sat on the frame on the other side, and said flatteringly: "Master Cheng, it's time to go on the road, do you want to return my money bag to me?" ”
"Who's taking your money bag?" Cheng Huaicai turned his head and stared at Zhu Quan angrily. If it weren't for the fact that this product thought that he had picked up a big bargain at noon yesterday and drank a few more glasses and missed the hour, he would not have been shouted at like a pig with a knife around his neck today.
Zhu Quan cautiously pointed to the money bag in Cheng Huaicai's hand, Cheng Huaicai looked down and asked casually, "This is yours?" And what about mine? ”
Zhu Quan said with a smile: "Before leaving, didn't you say that you were too afraid to take too much, and you were hidden under the frame?" ”
Cheng Huaicai casually threw the money bag on Zhu's body, and said angrily: "Look at your little interest, just know that you are staring at your few broken money, and you have the ability to inquire more about how there are good seedlings, if you can find a few more like yesterday, it will save a lot of trouble!" Yesterday's ......"
Speaking of this, the two of them seemed to remember something, and their faces changed together: "Yesterday, the Mo family girl came to the door by herself to sell herself, and the price she gave was the lowest, and we were secretly happy." I didn't expect to be kidnapped by the bandits again today, no, I followed the bandits voluntarily, could it be that the girl is the bandit's eyeliner? That's not right, these bandits looked menacing, but they only robbed the two little girls, and nothing else moved, no, let's hurry back and report to the flag owner truthfully! ”
Seven or eight people rode up the mountain, and a few people on horseback were still chatting, "Second master, why don't you snatch all those little girls?" "Just count Wang Liuzi talking the most.
"Grab it and raise it?" The second boss glared at Wang Liuzi and continued: "Recently, the outside government has been arresting conscripts everywhere, and in the past few days alone, more than 30 people have come to camp. In case the officers and soldiers call, those little girls can't fight, they can't run, and if they are caught by the officers and soldiers again, they won't leak our bottom. ”
Then he said meaningfully: "However, after this commotion, at least those little girls will not suffer too much, and they should be safe to where they are going." ”
Halfway up the mountain, there was a large clearing that had been turned over, and there were still a few people working early in the morning, a few strong men panting and cutting down the dead trees in the field, and a few following behind to tie up the branches and move them to the firewood house opposite. A few people were working while chatting with each other.
"What kind of wilderness is it to open up, I don't know what the big boss thinks?" A black-faced man straightened up, wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, and lifted his shirt to fan himself.
"I heard that this is the idea of the second master, and the second master said that no matter how many wild things in this forest are, they can't withstand our people catching them every day, and we are different from those mountains, and we can't just go down the mountain to rob them, or we really become bandits, or we can open up some land and plant it ourselves, and we can afford it for generations." A hoarse voice should arrive.
"Actually, this grass ridge is still good, if this land is opened, it will not be worse than the ground under the mountain." An old man with a little older and gray hair grabbed a handful of soil on the ground and twisted it on his fingers and said: "I heard the old generation say that this ridge used to be pure stones and nothing long, and then a divine bird flew over here and accidentally dropped the fairy grass in its mouth, but I didn't expect that the fairy grass took root as soon as it landed, and a large forest grew out, so this place is called Luocaoling!" ”
"It's the first time I've heard of this place name when it's so big! Speaking of the ground down the mountain, it's a pity," a square-faced, big-eyed, but somewhat bald man spat in the palm of his hand, picked up his axe and slashed at the trunk, and said as if he was forced, "If you are not forced, who wants to run here." Every year there is a war, and they can't harvest it even if they plant it, and the government still collects taxes as usual, and every family has to work hard to build plank roads and dig moats, and I see that they all build gardens for themselves! ”
"The official said that this plank road and digging a moat are to protect our people, but how many people have starved to death in those villages under the mountain? Those who can run have run away, and those who can't run will sell their sons and daughters, and if they can't exchange a few dollars, they will still starve to death in the end! Why don't these officials come to protect us? A man with a sallow face and a little puffy face said while tying firewood.
"That's a matter of the government, it's your bird business?" A thin, slightly hunchbacked guy squinted at these people, and said with a look of disinterest: "Anyway, we're not hungry, the big boss is about to have a happy event, and we can still follow the excitement, hehe!" ”
Several people suddenly darkened their faces, and the bald man glared at the hunchback, and said angrily: "Old leper, of course it doesn't matter if you are single, if you have no wife and no daughter like us, you won't say that, you..."
Just when the atmosphere became tense, a sharp-eyed guy saw a group of people in the distance and immediately shouted: "Look, the second master is back!" ”
