The young general looked around in the tea stall, there were a total of four people working in the tea stall, two men, and an old man seemed to be all people in the village, but the fourth person couldn't see his face clearly, and he couldn't even tell the difference between men and women.

Dressed in gray-white clothes, it looks a little strange like filial piety clothes, with a hat on his head, drinking tea with his head down, and a black long sword on the side of the table. The long sword also had a peculiar appearance, without a sword grid, and looked like a slender black stick.

The young general's eyes stayed on the man's body for a while, but he didn't do anything more, just looked at the owner of the tea stall again.

"Shopkeeper, how much water do you have?"

"Huh?" The stall owner was stunned, looked at the young general, and grabbed his hair: "Here, there are several wells in the backyard, how many does the general want?" ”

The young general took it out in his arms, but Ban Xiang didn't find any money, after all, he didn't have any money with him when he was marching outside.

After thinking for a while, he took a piece of jade from his waist and handed it to the owner of the tea stall, this jade is not worth much, but he heard that people outside the gate like these things, maybe they can change it with some water.

"Can this be changed, and how much can it be exchanged?"

When the stall owner of the tea stall saw the jade in the young general's hand, his eyes lit up and did not darken.

Hearing the young general ask, he nodded again and again.

"Yes, you can change it, you can change it a lot."

The young general nodded and handed the jade in his hand to the stall owner, waving behind him.

The other two men behind him untied several small leather bags from their horses, took them, and handed them to the owner of the tea stall.

"Fill these up first." The young general said, and said to a person next to him: "You go to the camp again and call some brothers to come over, bring more water bags, and it is best to take a few days' supply." ”

"Yes." The soldier on the side nodded, lowered his head and got on his horse outside and ran towards the outside of the village.

The stall owner took the jade in his hand and grinned and showed the yellowish teeth in his mouth.

The soldier who took the water bag in his hand said, "I'm going to fetch water for you." So saying, he went to the back.

The young general didn't say anything, found a table and sat down, while the soldier stood by with a vigilant look.

The young general sat on the shore of the table, one hand on the table, and the other hand under the table, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist.

After all, this is a place outside the gates, and it's always good to be careful.

His gaze fell once again on the man in gray, who had looked a little strange at first.

The gray-clothed man's head was always slightly lowered, because there was a hat to cover her, and she couldn't see her clearly, and her figure looked a little thin, but it always gave the young general a sense of danger.

Maybe I thought about it too much, and the young general shook his head secretly, when he was just an ordinary ranger.

Gu Nan felt the young general's gaze, his eyes lifted a little, and he looked at the young general along the edge of the hat.

The young man was about a teenager and looked like he was just starting out. The eyebrows are heroic and the face is handsome.

The internal breath from her body is not heavy, and she doesn't know if it's an illusion, she hasn't encountered any internal breath along the way.

Even when she practiced the inner breath herself, she could feel a slight stagnation, although she didn't understand why, but she didn't really care about it, after all, for her, it was just a little slower to accumulate internal breath.

With her current internal breath, it is difficult to make any progress, and she is not in a hurry.

The young general looked at the man in gray, and suddenly felt the head of the man in gray raised, and a gaze swept over his body. A cold feeling made him feel inexplicably palpitating.

The hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist tightened, but the feeling was gone, as if it were just an illusion.

The young general's hand was released, and he no longer looked at the man in gray, but waited for the soldier to call someone to take the water away and leave.

The tea stall became quiet again, only the sound of people pouring tea and drinking tea remained, and there was no communication between people.

The woman who was seeing the woman not far from the street seemed to have already seen the doctor. After saying a few words, he left some herbs behind and lifted his medicine bag. Looks like it's leaving.

Outside the village, there was a sudden noise of running horses, followed by a commotion at the village gate.

The woman looked up in confusion.

The young general in the tea stall frowned and grabbed the sword in his hand.

Gu Nan, on the other hand, was still sitting quietly in his seat, drinking his own water.

There was a lot of confusion at the entrance to the village, but soon the crowd split up and fled, some hiding in their houses, some holding their heads under the small stalls next to the road, and some trying to escape along the street.

And from the crowd a group of people on horseback entered the village, about thirty or forty people. He was dressed in fur, with a sword in his hand, and his hair was unkempt. His face was mostly gray and dusty, with an uncomfortable smile.

It looks like a horse thief outside the plug.

The man who wanted to flee did not run far when several horse thieves chased him on horseback and slashed him to the ground.

Blood was spilling all over the ground, and soon a foul stench was filling the streets.

There was a cry of alarm among the villagers, which seemed to be even more alarmed, but no one dared to run again, but cowered in the corner, avoiding the horse thieves.

The leader was a big man with a beard tied to his chest, carrying a knife that was about to grow longer, and a few pieces of gray-black fur were tied with rope and used as clothing, and the fur must have been wolf's skin, which was finely furned, and was slightly shaken by the wind in the street.

Passing by the middle of the road, he saw the objects on the stalls on both sides of the road, picked up a few with the tip of his knife and took them to his hand, smiled and hid them in his arms.

His eyes looked at the villagers hiding on both sides of the road, laughed a few times and said in a foreign dialect: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, hand over your money and food, and I will leave." ”

After speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, squinted his eyes and shouted in stiff Chinese: "I won't hurt you, hand over the money and food!" ”

The woman standing on the street turned pale, the hand holding the medicine bag tightened a little, and carefully took a few steps back, as if preparing to escape.

But before he could get any far, he was seen by the leader of the horse thieves.

He put down the long knife in his hand with a smile and urged the horse to walk slowly.

The woman did not dare to move again, and stood there with her head bowed.

The leader of the horse thieves walked up to her and picked the woman's chin with the tip of the long knife in his hand, causing her to lift her face.

The woman lifted her head and gasped nervously.

Looking at the woman's appearance, the leader of the horse thieves laughed, and shouted an unintelligible word to the horse thieves behind him, and there was a burst of laughter among the horse thieves.

The leader of the horse thieves withdrew his knife and waved his hand, and then several horse thieves came up, jumped off their horses, and prepared to tie the woman to their horses.

"Don't!" The woman let out a scream and struggled, but spoke clearly Chinese.

But no one paid any attention to her, and the thief smiled and untied the rope from his horse.

"Bang!"

A hand in the tea stall slapped on the table, making a muffled sound, and the horse thief was stunned and looked into the tea stall.

It was the young man dressed as a general, and at this time his eyes were cold, and he looked at the horse thieves coldly: "Put that woman down." ”
