Listening to Zhao Youde's question, more than a dozen people with guns on the opposite side laughed.

"Grandpa is from Tiger Head Village on Tiger Mountain!" A tall bearded man laughed, "The road you guys are taking, but we are in charge of Hutou Village, and if you want to go over, you have to leave some money to buy road money, isn't it too much?" ”

Tang Hu was helpless, he always felt that the bandits in the neighborhood were really going back more and more, and he didn't see that seven or eight of them were riding horses, but they were not easy to mess with? "This brother, I don't know how much you need to buy road money?"

"Yo, I met someone I know! The three masters, let's just want their horses! A little minion said beside the tall and fat beard, "The little ones are good horses, those few are good horses!" ”

The tall and fat beard continued to laugh, "The master wants your horse, leave the horse, man, I'll let you go!" ”

"Big brother, these people who don't know the height of the sky have a great appetite!" Zhao Youde snorted coldly, since he became a soldier, no one has been so presumptuous in front of them.

Tang Hu hooked the corners of his mouth, "This brother, we will leave two horses, and we should be friends with you!" We're in a hurry! Just let us go, how? ”

The tall fat beard squinted his eyes, "Atmospheric! I'm Hutou Zhai Zhang San, and I know you as a friend! ”

"Thank you!" As soon as Tang Hu waved his hand, two people got off the horse behind him, and then led the horse over, and then more than a dozen bandits took the horse.

"The three masters are really good horses!" The little minion looked at the body of the horse obsessively, and the strong legs of the horse were stroked.

"Put away your saliva, you can't change your life as a groom!" The beard slapped the little minion on the head, and then looked at Tang Hu, "Since I have accepted your horse, I will not embarrass you!" In the future, remember that whoever wants to cross this road has to leave 30% of the filial piety money! I will not hurt your life! ”

Tang Hu nodded, and then led the people forward and continued to walk. Generally speaking, the people who come out to do business every day are a few people who are in charge of a small number of people, according to Tang Hu's speculation, this tiger head village, I am afraid that there are 100 bandits.

After walking for a while, until he couldn't see the bandits before, Tang Hu stopped, "Lao Gao, Wu Er, you stay, explore the nearby villages or something, and see what this Hutou Village is." There is also the location, armament, terrain, etc., as well as the style of this Hutou Village on weekdays, whether it has hurt innocent people. ”

"Don't worry, big brother!" The two dismounted and responded. Previously, it was handed over to the bandits in front of two horses, so two people had to ride with the other two, and now, these two people were left by Tang Hu to inquire about the news of this tiger head village. You know, they are only more than thirty miles away from the base now, and they have encountered a group of bandits who don't seem to be too small.

Judging from the situation just now, this Hutou Village also has dozens of guns, although they all look relatively old, and there are equipment like bird guns, but it is undeniable that they are also guns.

Tang Hu nodded, "Others, keep going." ”

"Yes!"

So, Tang Hu walked all the way, leaving two people all the way, this work of finding out the news was not something that could be done in a day or two, and in the end, only Tang Hu and Zhao Youde were left, and the two also stayed.

Horses, naturally, are dedicated to the beards who block the way, that is, bandits.

"Big brother, there's cooking smoke ahead!" Zhao Youde pointed ahead.

Tang Hu nodded, "Let's go." ”

The so-called watching the mountains and running dead horses, Tang Hu and others also walked a lot of roads, only to see a sparse village, a very old-fashioned Guanzhong village.

There are children playing at the entrance of the village, and there is a relatively large venue, where several women are doing needlework, and after seeing Tang Hu and Zhao Youde, they all raised their heads. You know, this village is almost always in the mountains, not to mention isolated, but outsiders rarely come.

Tang Hu nodded at Zhao Youde, and Zhao Youde stepped forward first.

"Aunts, I don't know where this is? My two brothers got lost and had to look in the direction of the smoke. Zhao Youde spoke.

"Yo, I was lost! I said so! A peasant woman then spoke, "This place is called Baolai Village, which is ten miles away, but it is only our village." ”

"Thank you, auntie." Zhao Youde nodded, "My brothers are tired now, I don't know if there is a place in the village for us to rest?" Of course, we can pay! ”

The eyes of several peasant women lit up a little, outsiders, for them, it was income! Food and lodging cost money!

"If the two big brothers don't dislike it, why don't you live in my house!" A peasant woman stood up and smiled.

"Then it's troublesome for this aunt, here is one yuan, so I will treat it as hard-earned money for my aunt first!" Zhao Youde hurriedly took out a fiat currency.

The peasant woman's eyes widened, the reform of the fiat currency had been implemented as early as 1935, although they were in the mountains and villages, but occasionally they had to go into the town to catch the market, naturally they also knew the fiat currency, as soon as they took the fiat currency, they led Tang Hu and Zhao Youde into the village.

Tang Hu paid attention to the various situations in this village all the way, and only then did he feel that this village should be an ordinary village, at least, he didn't see any difference. In some villages, when there is not enough to eat, the whole village has become bandits.

Soon, they came to a private house, a thatched hut, and heard the woman say, "Two big brothers, this is our house, and there is a utility room next to it, clean up, two brothers can live there tonight." ”

"Thank you."

Then the peasant woman went into the house in a hurry and went to find the man in charge of her house.

Tang Hu was helpless, "Old Seven, there should be nothing abnormal in this village, but this village is not too far from the previous good Han village, and you should also know the situation of that village. ”

"Yes."

……

At dinner, Tang Hu looked at the black bun in front of him, and his eyes were a little black, it wasn't that he couldn't eat it, he hadn't eaten anything when he was hungry? It's just that this is really bad, he and Zhao Youde got a total of four black buns, and nothing else.

"Old Seven, you go and give some money, let them get some meat and vegetables, and by the way, find out the news."

"Good Ratcha."

Zhao Youde hurriedly put down the black bun, took out the three-yuan fiat currency, and hurried to the front of the house to find someone.

"Auntie!"

"Auntie!"

"Eh, big brother, what's wrong?" In the hall, the woman stood up, Zhao Youde glanced inside, and there was a man and a boy.

"This brother." Zhao Youde greeted the man, "That's the case, my eldest brother and I got lost, so we stayed here for a night, but this food is really ...... I've got some money here, you see, can you give me some meat? ”

Zhao Youde handed over the fiat currency.
