"Tsk, there's finally meat to eat."

Liu Ce took the dead giant snake off the tip of the spear, sat in front of the fire trough and began to cut the snake skin with the head of the spear, took out the snake gall bladder and threw it aside, then ripped off the whole snake skin, stabbed the snake body with the tip of the spear, and after a few circles around the barrel of the gun, he put it on the fire trough and began to smoke.

The woman hurriedly pulled her daughter into her arms and thanked Liu Ce for her kindness, and the three big men couldn't come back to their senses for a while, and the three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say......

"I said, you kid is really interesting, different from other officers and soldiers......" The bearded man looked at Liu Ce in front of the fire trough and muttered, Liu Ce glanced at him, and said slowly: "Don't pretend to be dead, come and sit." Then he beckoned to the mother and daughter, and motioned for them to come over as well......

The three of them endured the pain and sat down in front of the fire trough, Liu Ce put their weapons at his feet, he didn't trust anyone until he could confirm his judgment. It turned out that after Liu Ce witnessed the three of them serving a meal to their mother and daughter behind the stone statue, he changed his opinion, and was determined to restrain them first and then make plans.

After Liu Ce communicated with the three of them, he learned that these three people were indeed Jing Bing among the thieves, the bearded man was called Yang Kaishan, Xiao Qi was his cousin named Yang Youhuai, and the scarface was called Feng Ying.

After the thieves captured Gaoyang City, they killed people and set fire to the city and did all kinds of evil, and the three of them really couldn't stand it and went to the boss to theorize, which means that they only robbed large households and did not kill civilians, but they were reprimanded by the leader and threatened them verbally. The more the three of them thought about it, the more angry they became, so they simply took advantage of the time to escort the grain and grass to kill the grain transport team officer, took advantage of the chaos to take away a few bags of white rice and a few mules and horses, and on the way met Bao'er's mother and daughter who were being chased by the bandits, and simply repelled the bandits and rescued them, and Bao'er's mother and daughter have been following the three of them for nearly a month.

After Yang Kaishan finished talking about all this, he then threw two pieces of dry firewood into the fire trough, and was angry: "The military discipline of the officers and soldiers is corrupt, the thieves are cruel and unreasonable, and the sufferers are all unarmed ordinary people!" ”

After hearing this, Yang Youhuai nodded: "Thieves kill people!" Officers and soldiers also kill civilians! Is there any reason for this?" After a pause, he glanced at Liu Ce, and saw that his expression remained unchanged, so he continued: "If it weren't for the continuous exploitation of the government, the countless exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the peasants who couldn't eat enough for a year, and still owed a bunch of debts, they couldn't afford to pay them off for a lifetime, what else could they do if they weren't thieves at this time?" ”

Feng Ying has been silent, but his eyes reveal disdain for the government and the official army, in his opinion, the thieves are hateful, but the officers and soldiers are not like this, the thieves have done the work, the officers and soldiers have also done it, looking at Liu Ce, covering his lower abdomen, which is still slightly painful, Feng Ying clenched his fists......

After a while, the snake meat was half burnt, and the temple emitted a burst of meat fragrance, Liu Ce picked it up and rubbed his fingers on the snake meat a few times, then tore off a piece and ate it, and then handed the meat to Bao'er's mother and daughter......

Liu Ce got up and looked at the rice on the ground, and secretly said, "Waste." Then he picked up the big pot rack on the ground, carried a bag of rice and said to Yang Kaishan and them: "Go out and get some water, eat enough first." Then he kicked the weapon back to them......

Yang Kaishan and the three of them were also stunned, they didn't know what medicine Liu Ce's gourd was selling, and they were still hesitating to pick up the weapon......

"Pick up all the weapons, I only need a small half bag of rice." Liu Ce looked at their faces and replied slowly, "I barely believe you, because the mother and daughter have been with you for a month, which means that you are still human." ”

After hearing these words, the three of them hurriedly picked up the weapons and put them away, looking at Liu Ce who was pouring rice into the pot, Yang Kaishan opened his mouth and said: "Little brother, I see that you are extraordinary, it is better to form a gang, and this soldier is in chaos and has a good idea of taking care of each other." ”

"Big brother, how can you trust the officers and soldiers, have you forgotten, why did we join the ...... of thieves in the first place?" Yang Youhuai pulled Yang Kaishan to stop him.

"Shut up, this little brother is different from those officers and soldiers, if it weren't for his mercy, would we still be standing here and talking?" Yang Kaishan shook his hand, "What's more, one more person means one more guarantee!" Lao Feng, you say something, what is the pestle doing there? ”

Feng Ying still stood aside and didn't speak, but the expression on her face when she looked at Liu Ce had eased a lot......

Liu Ce listened to their conversation, sneered, and was about to speak, when he saw Bao'er walking up to him and timidly handing him the leftover snake meat, with a pleading glint in his eyes. Liu Ce bent down and stroked his somewhat pale face, as if he had been hit by something in his heart, only then did he understand why he was so indifferent, just because in the final analysis, he never regarded himself as a member of this world, so he could face the cruelty of this world with a cold eye. Looking at the poor girl in front of her, it was really sad to have this kind of experience at such a young age, "Official, I know that you are a good person, Brother Yang and the three of them are also good people, let's be companions together, and there is a good ...... to take care of" The woman mentioned the courage to say these words to Liu Ce, she knew very well that if Liu Ce and Yang Kaishan were partners, she and Bao'er would be more secure.

Liu Ce didn't speak, just stroked Bao'er's face, and after a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he got up and said to the woman: "What do you call it?" The woman's name is not enough to worry about, before fleeing, everyone called me Sister-in-law Qing......" "Sister-in-law Qing, please boil water and cook, let's eat first." Then he turned around and hugged Yang Kaishan and hugged them: "Under Liu Ce, the former commander of the Deng Zi Battalion of the Fourth Regiment under the Thunder Army, since Brother Yang invited you, then Liu will support each other with you in this troubled world, but I said ugly things in front, rape ** women, indiscriminate killing of innocents, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

As soon as they heard the three big words "Thunder Army", Yang Kaishan and the three couldn't help but gasp, no wonder this kid is young but his marksmanship is very exquisite, Yang Youhuai and others were still unconvinced before, thinking that Liu Ce won purely by luck (in fact, it was indeed a fluke), and now it seems that people do have the capital.

"Okay, since Brother Liu is willing to work together, it can't be better, the three of us hate the most in our lives is that kind of chicken and dog thief, and we will never do this kind of thing." Yang Kaishan patted his chest and boasted, the nail leaf on his chest was shaken, and the other two saw Yang Kaishan hugging their fists at Liu Ce like this, and reluctantly agreed.

As soon as Sister-in-law Qing heard that she let herself cook, she immediately added fire to the trough, and then poured the remaining water from the water bag into the pot and began to observe the fire.

Sister-in-law Qing felt more relieved at this time, the people who fled in groups were most afraid that they would be a burden and would be abandoned at any time, and now that Liu Ce gave him a job, it was finally useful, and he and Bao'er might be able to live.

After eating breakfast and resting for a while, everyone in the temple walked out to start a new day's survival journey. Liu Ce came to a mule and horse, looked at the three or four bags on the horse's back, opened one of the bags, found that it was full of sand, grabbed a handful and said with a smile: "Heh, how many bags of white rice can I take?"

Looking at Liu Ce's playful eyes, Yang Youhuai's face turned red, how do I know if you would attack Sister-in-law Qing at that time, just trick you out so that I could take the opportunity to give you a knife......

Liu Ce threw away all these bags full of sand and stepped on a mule horse, only to find that this mule and horse belonged to half of the horse like the war horse in the army, and the saddle was just a few pieces of cotton cloth pieced together.

Yang Kaishan and the others also stepped on the mules and horses, and Sister-in-law Qing and Bao'er could only follow behind, Liu Ce saw it and asked, "Their mother and daughter just followed?"

Yang Youhuai said: "They can't ride horses, so they can only follow like this, what else can they do?" ”

Liu Ce thought about it, turned over and dismounted and looked at a dilapidated flatbed truck at the entrance of the temple, and borrowed a copper hammer from Feng Ying, Feng Ying hesitated and agreed to him.

Liu Ce ran to the cart, pulled it over, and then fixed the loose wheel with a copper hammer, "Who has a rope?"

Everyone understood what Liu Ce was sitting on, and their good impression of him immediately increased a lot, so thoughtful, the people who took care of women and children should not do evil things.

Feng Ying got off the horse and took out two thick hemp ropes, skillfully fixed two dead knots on both sides of the handrails of the car, and found a flat pole to put on the neck of the mule and horse, a simple carriage was formed, and after doing this, Feng Ying fixed the lower wheel, then nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at Liu Ce......

Sister-in-law Qing bowed to Liu Ce and Feng Ying gratefully, and got on the cart with Bao'er......

"Brother Feng seems to be very good at craftsmen." Seeing that he was bored all the way, Liu Ce rarely spoke to anyone for a month, so he chatted with Feng Ying on the side.

Feng Ying snorted coldly, but his expression was much kinder than in the previous temple, "My family has been a blacksmith for generations, and my craftsmanship is still well-known in my family, and many of the weapons of your officers and soldiers are still made by me." Feng Ying looked proud, and he didn't dare to say anything else, but he was very confident in making tools, but the government regarded craftsmen as an inferior industry, no matter how good his weapons were, he couldn't improve his life, only the gentry of the gentry were endlessly exploited, and finally he couldn't survive before joining the thief army.

"Oh, is it? Then I have time to ask for advice. Seeing that he was so confident, Liu Ce knew that just like in his previous life, anyone would always feel superior in the field he was good at, no matter how cheap the field was.

A few people chatted without a word, and the dull atmosphere was reduced a lot......

……

On the empty avenue, a luxurious carriage drove slowly, hundreds of soldiers wearing iron armor and holding spears around were orderly guarding both sides of the carriage, and the front leader was a general wearing a tiger's head and silver light, with bright eyes, holding a long knife weighing dozens of catties of fine iron (refer to the shape of the Romance Guan Yu Yanyue knife), sitting on a tall war horse from a foreign land, and a pawn behind him held a white bottom, red on the edge, and a big "Xue" word on the flag was eye-catching!

There was a grumpy sigh from inside the carriage, as if at a loss for his unknown fate, and the horse's hooves continued to jolt along the muddy avenue......
