Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Catching the Strong

"You see if this will work, I will go up to the mountains to hunt, and when I catch the prey, I will share your share, which will be regarded as a compensation for your money." Wei Yan said with a blushing face.

"Don't coax me with rhetoric, I don't think you're a good person, I'm not a good person, tie it up first."

The yellow-faced man gave an order, and the other people snatched his hunting fork and tied his hands behind his back, regardless of Wei Yan's struggle.

At this time, a farmer suddenly shouted, "Oh no, run, the officers and soldiers are coming......"

"Ah...... It's the ...... of the officers and soldiers."

"Run...... Come on...... Don't be caught......"

The crowd dispersed, moving even faster than when they came.

Wei Yan had a ghost in his heart, he was more afraid of officers and soldiers than those farmers, and hurriedly followed.

However, his hands were tied behind his back, he didn't run a few steps, he fell, and he scolded in a hurry: "I'll go, you guys are too unrighteous, right?" Isn't it just stealing a few cabbages, so I'll untie them......"

Although Wei Yan's appearance was pitiful, everyone only cared about running away by themselves, and everyone paid attention to him.

"Why am I so miserable......" Wei Yan said dejectedly.

At this time, he suddenly felt a tightness in his wrist, and he suddenly became nervous, thinking that it was the official army coming.

When he looked back, it turned out to be the yellow-faced man with the surname who had run back and was untying him.

"This big brother, thank you......" Wei Yan was moved, tears flowed, "My name is Wei Yan, you remember my name, I will definitely become a celebrity in the future, when you have something to do, you can come to me, I will repay your ......"

"These little bunnies, tie a rope and tie a dead knot...... Oh, my name is Dian Wei......" The yellow-faced man lowered his head to untie the rope, muttering as he untied it.

"it!" Wei Yan was excited, and reflexively kicked his legs.

Dian Wei was caught off guard and was kicked in the stomach by Wei Yan and fell on his stomach.

"What are you doing!" Dian Wei was not happy.

"Brother Dian, I'm sorry...... I...... I suddenly had a leg cramp just now, probably from the fall just now......" Wei Yan said casually.

Although Dian Wei was a little unhappy, he didn't care too much.

He was just about to get up, when suddenly more than a dozen spears stretched out in front of his and Wei Yan's eyes, against their bodies.

"Don't move, be careful to stab you!"

Then they saw more soldiers running past them.

After a while, the farmers who had escaped were also captured.

It turned out that these soldiers were specially out to catch strong men, and as long as they were adult men, they would not let go of any of them.

In order to prevent people from escaping, they shrink in from different directions.

Therefore, the few people who ran fast just now fell into the hands of another team of people, and they were also arrested.

In addition to them, these soldiers also captured quite a few people, at least about two hundred.

There were all these strong men, peasants, beggars, and even passing merchants.

Moreover, these soldiers who catch strong men cannot simply be called soldiers, perhaps it is more appropriate to call them bandits.

Because they not only arrested people, but also robbed them, and more than 200 strong men were arrested, and more than a dozen carts of things were robbed.

What pots and pans, broken curtains, broken mats, they wanted, even Wei Yan's hunting fork was confiscated.

If it weren't for the fact that this group of people were indeed wearing the clothes and armor of the big men and holding the standard weapons distributed in the army, and saying that they were bandits, no one would suspect them.

This is good, Wei Yan's rope doesn't need to be untied, because everyone is tied.

Like pigs and sheep, they were tied to a rope in a long string, and every few meters were guarded by a soldier at intervals, and anyone who dared to make trouble, or walked slowly, was given a leather whip.

Wei Yan was anxious, Qingqing was still waiting for him to go back, he was now pulled into a strong man, leaving Qingqing alone, not to mention the possible danger, and he didn't even have a place to eat.

"Brother Dian......" Wei Yan lowered his head and whispered to Dian Wei, who was walking in front of him.

Although Dian Wei was born with a strong force, in this case, he could only hurry obediently.

Dian Wei didn't speak, just glanced back at Wei Yan slightly.

Even so, it was seen by the soldier next to him, "Look at what, look for it!" Hurry up and walk! ”

He waved his whip and wanted to smoke Dian Wei, but he was glared at by Dian Wei coldly, and he was a little scared, and finally only said a cruel word.

This is also normal, after all, the strong men who are caught will also join the army in the end, and of course try not to provoke those ruthless characters, so as not to bring trouble to themselves.

"Brother Dian, let's find a chance to escape." Wei Yan said.

"Why run away? It's not bad to be a soldier, it's better than to hide, maybe you can make meritorious contributions...... Hi ......" Speaking of this, Dian Wei sighed, and a big old man was also sentimental.

Wei Yan saw that there was a story, and suddenly the fire of gossip was burning.

"Brother Dian sees that you are not the same as those contemptible people in the mountains and wilderness......" The main point of the speech was over, and Wei Yan only said half a minute, waiting for Dian Wei to take over.

"Hey......" Dian Wei sighed again, "It's hard to say......"

"Tell me about ......"

"I think I Dianwei has been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have a place in the township, thinking about which day I can serve the Son of Heaven, but the world is impermanent, once I helped a friend to fight unevenly, I accidentally killed Fuchun Ling, fled here, it has been two years, I have lost contact with my family for two years, I don't know what happened to my wife and children......"

"Even so, you should flee......" Wei Yan instigated.

If Dian Wei is willing to flee with him, with the force of the two of them, they are not afraid of dozens of ordinary people, and they can go back to Qingqing when the time comes.

"Humph! If I escape, I am still a fugitive, I have to go home secretly, not a gentleman, today let me join the army, with my ability to be a half-official, when the time comes, go home in a beautiful way, wouldn't it be happy! Dian Wei's words were full of heroism.

The two-year fugitive career not only did not wear down Dian Wei's spirit, but made him even more eager to become famous.

Some people would rather live like a leper dog and get by, but Dian Wei is unwilling, he doesn't know what responsibility is, but he puts the responsibility on his shoulders and never lets it go for a moment.

Wei Yan suddenly admired Dian Wei, and he didn't say anything more, because he knew that no matter what he said, Dian Wei would not go with him.

However, if he wants to escape, he really has no confidence on his own, so he can only follow forward first, and take one step at a time.

Wei Yan followed them in a daze for about a day's journey, and finally arrived at the foot of a mountain.

Later, he learned that this mountain was the famous Changshan Mountain.
