In the next few days, Yang Congyi led a group of catchers to help repair the damaged wall, although it was manual work, but it was much better than sleeping in the open and drilling into the woods and being bitten by mosquitoes.

Yang Congyi took advantage of the opportunity of his group to build a wall alone, and passed the news to the catchers at the bottom of the mountain, telling them that everything was going well on the mountain, and that they were trying to find out the news about the fugitives, and asked them to send a team of people to continue north, get in touch with the catchers in several other counties, inform each other of the situation, and explain to each county that they should not act rashly when they encounter bandits.

When working with the bandits, moving stones, and resisting wood, he learned that the power of Nitou Mountain was not small, and the leader could go to Tianzhu Peak, and it was not easy for him to go to Tianzhu Peak, so Yang Congyi breathed a sigh of relief.

I also found out about some bandits who have recently gone up the mountain, and if the bandits who have just gone up the mountain have no special skills, they will basically go to the back village to do some simple heavy work, raise pigs and sheep, and cut firewood to carry water. When he first heard this, Yang Congyi still felt incredible, going up to the mountains to be a bandit, doing all these chores?

But then people figured it out, there are usually two or three hundred people in this nipple mountain, only by robbing houses, where is enough to feed so many people, especially now that the world is peaceful, the business of robbing houses and houses is not easy to do, in order to survive, these bandits on the mountain who were originally farmers naturally have to re-employ. The bandits have their own division of labor, and they finish what they need to do every day, they don't have to worry about eating the last meal and what to do with the next meal, everyone eats in the same pot, they don't starve to death in the good years and famines, and they don't have all kinds of exploitation, and they live freely.

In the final analysis, these bandits are just hugging a group to survive, if you want to talk about the quality of life, there is really no, as for the wife and children, they dare not think, if they can have a wife and children, life is rushing, and they will not come up the mountain.

There were a total of fifty or sixty bandits in Qianzhai, and after a few days of getting along, they were basically clear, and there were two who went up the mountain after the year, but none of them were fugitives. There are more than a dozen people who are placed in the back village, and they don't know exactly what to do, after all, each of them has their own things to do, and ask those irrelevant people to do.

In this way, it became more difficult for Yang Congyi and the group to investigate quickly, they were in the front village, and they had no chance to go to the back village, and if they did not contact the people in the back village, it was impossible to find out the details of those people. Although Yang Congyi was anxious, he also knew that it was useless to be in a hurry, this kind of thing relied on opportunities, and it was not advisable to break through.

In the past few days, whenever he has time, he will also go to Leader Song to learn marksmanship. Song Leader is very deep in marksmanship, every time he points out at will, he can have a harvest, since he said goodbye to his uncle and went down the mountain, this year is his own practice, and there are not many opportunities for actual combat, although nine moves and eighteen styles, has been practiced proficiently, but the actual combat of the change of moves, the use of skills, he is still lacking very, the same marksmanship, in his hands and in the hands of Song Leader There is a world of difference.

When he practiced in the mountains before, his uncle would also tell him how to practice and how to fight, but at that time, he had just learned to shoot, and he only cared about practicing, so he could take care of how to fight. As for how to luck and how to fight, there are too many skills in it, and I can't learn it for a while, so Yang Congyi will try to learn as much as he can, after all, there are not many opportunities like this. Because of the relationship between the right guard commander, the Song leader did not hide his personal interests, and taught his feelings about gun training and enemy skills one by one.

There are a lot of things to learn, but to digest them, but it is not three or five days to do, without actual combat, some skills can not be mastered, can only be slowly realized in the future.

The wall of the front village was almost repaired, and when he practiced with the Song leader on this day, Yang Congyi inadvertently said that he had been on the mountain for some time, and he only knew the front mountain, and he didn't know what the back mountain was like. I heard the Song leader say that he recently received a batch of grain, just in the back mountain, and needed people to transport it back, and the back village could not transfer too many people, and yesterday he also said that he wanted to draw some people to help in the front village, if he wanted to go to the back mountain to see, it was just right, but the road was a little far.

As soon as Yang Congyi heard that there was such an opportunity, of course he agreed to come down, what is the long way away, as long as he can contact the people in the back mountain, it doesn't matter how far away.

Leader Song let him have time to find the second leader, and what to do is just listen to the arrangement of the second leader.

Where was Yang Congyi willing to wait any longer, he arranged for a group of catchers to continue to help repair the last section of the wall, and immediately went to Houzhai to find the second leader.

The second leader's residence is on the hill on the right, and after asking all the way, he saw an independent courtyard in a remote place, which is also an old building, and it should be some years old.

The courtyard gate is closed, and I don't know if the second leader is at home. Yang Congyi couldn't take care of much, since he came, knock on the door and talk.

I pulled up the knocker and knocked a few times, and I heard someone inside the door ask, "Who?" ”

Yang Congyi heard that there was someone in the courtyard and was not sure who it was, so he replied loudly: "I am from Qianzhai, and the third leader asked us to come to the second leader to help carry the grain." ”

A message came from inside the courtyard: "Wait." And there was no life.

But not long after, the courtyard door opened, and a bandit came out of the courtyard, looked at Yang Congyi, and said, "You are alone?" ”

Yang Congyi said: "Everyone else still has something to do, let me listen to the second leader first, and then tell them the same when I go back." ”

"Come in." After the bandit finished speaking, he turned around and entered the door, and when Yang Congyi entered, he closed the courtyard door again.

The bandit took Yang Congyi to a room and reported to the inside: "Second leader, someone brought it." ”

"Let him in." The second leader commanded from inside the house.

The bandit pushed open the door and let Yang Congyi in. Yang Congyi did not hesitate, raised his feet and went in.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a bookcase in the middle of the room, which was full of books and papers, and it looked quite messy. The second leader was looking down at a booklet in his hand, and Yang Congyi came in, and he didn't look up.

"What's your name, and how many people did the three chiefs send?" The second leader still didn't look up.

Yang Congyi stood five feet away from the book case and replied: "My name is Yang Lao Wu, plus me, there are a total of twelve people. It seems that the two leaders are a person who likes to be quiet, and he answered the other party's questions directly, without saying much.

"It's you." When the second leader heard the words "Yang Lao Wu", he immediately raised his head and saw that it was indeed Yang Congyi, who had gone up the mountain not long ago.

Yang Congyi said: "These days, the wall has been repaired in Qianzhai, and now that it has been repaired, the three leaders will let us listen to the leader's orders." ”

The second leader looked at Yang Congyi, thought for a while, and then said, "The third leader asked you to come, and I won't say anything." If something goes wrong, you can solve the problem of eating for the next three months. ”

As soon as he heard this, Yang Congyi felt a little uneasy in his heart, what danger was there in carrying food? Food is a big thing, if something really goes wrong, it will definitely not be good to stay on this mountain, and if you can't find out the news, you have to run away, waste time in vain, don't talk about it, if you anger them, chase them all over the mountain, then it will be all over. So what should be asked, you still have to ask clearly.

"Second leader, how far is the distance we are going to carry grain, is it dangerous?"

"It's not far, only a dozen miles. But all the way to the mountains and dense forests, if someone has bad intentions and steals food and hides it, it will not be able to be recovered. Since the three leaders let you come, if there is a problem with the amount of food at that time, they will naturally have to look for you. ”

As soon as he heard this, Yang Congyi's heart lightened, and he still thought that there would be any danger, and it was impossible for them to steal grain and hide smuggling. So he asked again: "I don't know how much food will be given to us this time?" ”

The second leader said, "One hundred quintals of newly harvested rice." Okay, come back early the day after tomorrow, and someone will take you to the delivery. After saying that, he continued to look at his account book.

Yang Congyi saw that the second leader didn't say anything anymore, said yes, and left the room.

He didn't like this second leader, the second leader gave him the feeling of being like a high-ranking bureaucrat, always speaking coldly, deliberately distancing himself from other people, as if he wanted to be different.

However, Yang Congyi didn't care too much, anyway, he was not a bandit, and he would not live in this Nitou Mountain for a long time, as long as he was sure that there were no fugitives on the mountain, he would turn around and go down the mountain.

Back in Qianzhai, Yang Congyi found the Song leader and told him about going to see the second leader, and the Song leader asked him to listen to the second leader's instructions and go to deliver first, a hundred quintals of rice is a bit much, if there are not enough people, then draw some people to help.

It can be seen that Leader Song is not concerned about the matter of food, nor is he worried, he doesn't care about the problem of bandits eating, so what does he care about, Yang Congyi is a little curious about this.

These days, I often meet with Leader Song to learn martial arts, and the two quickly get acquainted with each other, and they are called brothers in private, although they have not reached the point of talking about everything, each has reservations, but there is not much estrangement. Yang Congyi was very curious about the experience of the Song leader, but he had never been able to ask, after all, from the marshal's personal guard to the current bandit, there must have been a very bad experience during the period, and it would inevitably be embarrassing to ask.

But for the sake of the task, he still has to find out a little bit or two, before listening to the bandits guarding the door said that the Song leader is from above, with a background and power, if it is true, then he should be very familiar with the situation in the mountains.

"Brother Song, I heard that you have only arrived at Nipple Mountain not long ago?" After struggling for a long time, Yang Congyi still decided to investigate.

It was the first time that Leader Song heard Yang Congyi take the initiative to ask about him, and he was a little surprised, but then replied: "It's only been more than half a year since I came here. Why are you suddenly interested in my business? ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "It's not suddenly, it's always curious, Brother Song, you are Marshal Yue's personal guard, even if Marshal Yue is gone, you can still be in the barracks, why did you run up the mountain upside down?" ”

Leader Song looked at Yang Congyi fixedly, did not speak, and did not know what was in his heart.

Yang Congyi was shocked, could it be that he said something wrong and was seen through his identity?

Worried, he pretended to be calm, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Brother Song, what did I say wrong?" ”

Leader Song suddenly asked, "What do you think of going up to the mountain to be a bandit?" ”

Yang Congyi replied directly: "It's very good, it's very free, the key is to eat enough, no trouble, no messy things." ”

Song Tou said: "You're right, I just want to be free when I go up the mountain." ”

Yang Congyi asked again: "Brother Song, you are a martial artist, don't you feel a pity that you are living such a foolish life on the mountain?" ”

When Leader Song heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and asked rhetorically, "Do you think it's a mess on the mountain?" ”
