Shile looked to him as a young man younger than himself, dressed in rags, gray-headed, as if he had not washed his face for several days, and in his early twenties, although not tall, but also stocky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shile didn't mean to be afraid, because he didn't have any money on him, and besides, he couldn't suffer a loss even if he fought.

Shi Le looked at the robber in front of him and laughed: "Hahahaha......"

The man asked confusedly: "Hey, what are you laughing at, I'm going to rob the road and take out the money on my body, otherwise don't want to pass through here!" ”

Shi Le smiled: "Hehe, I said brother, you want to rob the road and put your eyes bright, do you see me like a rich man, don't you see that I am dressed more torn than you?" Indeed, Shile fled all the way, and his clothes were already torn.

The man said dejectedly: "Today is really unlucky, not a single copper plate has been robbed, how can I go home?" ”

Shi Le saw that the man was going to send half a baked cake to his mouth, stepped forward and reached out and snatched it from his hand, the man was caught off guard, and when he asked for it again, Shi Le had already swallowed it in his stomach, and said: "Incense is incense, but it's too little to be enjoyable, hehe." ”

"You dare to grab the pancakes! See if I don't waste you, you black-faced man! The man stepped forward to hit Shile, Shile dodged again and again, and coupled with his own strength, he twisted the man's arm in a few moves, and the man shouted, "Let go of me!" ”

Shi Le said: "Okay, let's go!" As soon as he put his hand down, he pushed forward, and the man lay on the ground.

Shile stepped forward to help him up and said, "This brother, why do you bother to do this for a living? ”

The man said: "You think I want to, everyone in the family is starving to death, and I am the only one left, so I want to come out to find something to eat, but I can't get food, so I have to rob the road, but I didn't expect to rob a baked cake in one day, and I was reluctant to eat it all at once, but you filled it into my stomach at once!" ”

Shi Le comforted him and said: "Brother, thank you for the baked cakes, the sky is about to get dark, and we have no money to invest in the store, so it is better to ask for someone, let's go down to the river to catch a few fish and bake them to eat to fill our stomachs." ”

The man said: "Okay, it seems that we don't know each other, my name is Lu Ming, a native of Jizhou." ”

"My name is Shile, and I'm from Bingzhou, brother, let's catch the fish and roast it first, and then let's talk while eating."

"Okay." Lu Mingdao.

When the two came to the river, Shile caught a few fish with a tree stick, and made a fire on the shore to roast and eat.

The two chatted while eating, Shi Le told Lu Ming what he had done, and he asked Lu Ming again: "What are your plans for my brother in the future, do you want to go on like this?" ”

"What else, in the future, you will either ask for food or rob the road." Lu Ming said helplessly.

"Brother, it's not a way for you to go on like this, if you want, I have a good place to go to ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing."

"Big brother makes me happy that I am poor, do you still have a worry-free livelihood in these years?"

"You are also from Jizhou, haven't you heard of Chiping's Golden Bull Village?"

"Taurus Village? I'm not from Chiping, and I don't know what Taurus Village is. ”

Shi Le said: "There are seven leaders in Chiping's Golden Bull Village, they occupy the mountain as the king, there are a lot of men and horses under them, usually rob the house, I have a relationship with them, if you want to go to join the gang, tell them my name, they will definitely accept you." ”

"Why, do they know your name?"

"Of course I do." Shi Le then said how to subdue the seven people, and Lu Ming immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Thank you big brother for your guidance, thank you big brother for your introduction, I will go to Jinniu Village tomorrow to join the gang." ”

"Okay, you can go and eat a bowl of rice, alas, in this year, apart from being robbers, what other ways do we have to live."

"Big brother, since they want you to be the owner of the village, now you are also at a dead end, and it is a dead end to go home again, why don't we go to Jinniu Village together?"

"No, I told you just now, I used to be a guard of the king of Chengdu, and the size is also an official, and the salary will not be less, I think that after going home this time, I will take the old mother and the child to Yecheng, and I will go to the king of Chengdu to work as an errand again, with my food income, our family can barely eat, so I don't want to go that way."

"Okay, if the eldest brother doesn't want to join the gang, I'll go alone, but I heard that the king of Chengdu and the king of the East China Sea are fighting, and hundreds of thousands of people have died, so it's also risky for the eldest brother to go."

"The king of Chengdu treats me well, I must go back."

"Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, if the eldest brother is not satisfied in Yecheng, it is not too late to go to Jinniu Village."

"Hmm."

The two lit the fire and chatted until the second half of the night, and the next day Lu Ming quit Shile and went to Chipingtou Jinniu Village.

Shile traveled all the way south along the waterway, ate grilled fish when he was hungry, and finally arrived at his hometown in a few days.

Shi Le forgot to change back to the ancestral tomb in a hurry, and just wanted to take his mother and nephew to Yecheng, entered the house, pushed the door open, but no one could see the house, he shouted around and searched: "Mother...... Mother...... Mother...... Toilet...... Huzi ......"

But after looking for a long time, he still didn't see anyone, he looked at the pot again, as if he hadn't moved the pot for a month, he knew that his mother and Shi Hu must have gone out to beg for food!

Shi Le asked the neighbors, and sure enough, someone told him that since he had left not long after, the family had no food, so the old man and the child went to beg for food, and when he asked where he went, the neighbor shook his head and said that he did not know.

Shi Le thought that if they wanted to beg for food, they would definitely go south, so he decided to follow the path of Taihang Mountain all the way south to find it.

As soon as Shi Le left the village, one hundred and ten sergeants came in front of him, each holding a rope in his hand and carrying a big knife at his waist, and pounced on the village like a wolf and a tiger.

But he was still discovered, and a sergeant had already stepped forward to tie him up, and Shi Le hurriedly said: "Why do you want to tie me up, what law did I violate?!" ”

"It's not illegal, I just want you to come with me!"

"I'm not going! I'm not going! I'm not going to the gladiatorial arena again, let me go! Schleer said as he tried to break free.

An officer came up and shone a whip on his chest: "Be honest! If you're not honest, I'll shoot you! ”

"Why! I'm not really a criminal! It was wronged! Shiler's eyes widened in anger and he defended himself.

"What kind of gladiatorial arena criminals, tell you, according to Dongying's public order, find a job for you hungry people, and those who know each other will obediently follow us, so as not to suffer hardship!" The officer said.

Only then did Shi Le understand that it was not because he escaped from the gladiatorial arena that he was arrested, but as soon as he heard what kind of rice bowl it was, he knew that it was not a good thing, and he retorted: "Rice bowl! I don't believe you can do anything good. ”

The sergeant didn't want to talk to him anymore and ordered him to be escorted into the village.

These soldiers were ordered by Sima Mei to arrest people everywhere, in order to catch the elite people and sell them as slaves, which happened to enter Shile's village.

The men went into the village from all fours, and drew close to the middle, and took all the able-bodied people, tied them with ropes, and gathered them together in the town, and made a register of them.

From the sergeant's conversation, Shile learned that he had been taken as a slave and was about to be sold!
