Chapter 41 Helping the Weak

When the three of them stepped forward, they saw puffs of cooking smoke coming from the chimney of a house.

That's where the voice came from.

At this time, I heard someone in the yard shouting: "He/mother/the, grain, where is your family's grain?!" Another voice that sounded flustered said, "Good man! Uncle! At the beginning of the year, there was a war, and the government came to collect grain, and then the officers and soldiers came to grab the grain, and they couldn't wait to scrape down a layer of our land. It's been out of food for a long time! Don't believe it, you see, our old man and his child look like they have food? If you have food to eat, you won't be so hungry that you will be thin into a skin......"

"Who are you fooling! If you don't have food, you would have starved to death, Lao Tzu didn't eat your set, hurry up and get food, otherwise Lao Tzu will cook this little lady! Find it! ”

Chen Xu and the others followed the sound of talking and walked into this dilapidated earthen courtyard. Unexpectedly, the division of labor among this group of people was relatively clear, and there were two skinny, ragged people standing at the door, who looked like homeless people, looking around, obviously letting off steam. When these two people saw the three soldiers in armor, they immediately shouted: "The officers and soldiers are here!"

Seeing this, Suo Hu and He Meng immediately rushed forward left and right, how could the two skinny homeless people get past the battle-hardened, tall and strong soldiers, and they were subdued by Suo and He at once, and put them on the necks of the two homeless, so frightened that these two people did not dare to move again.

At the same time, Chen Xu rushed into the house with one arrow step.

There were four people in the room, two homeless people in the same ragged clothes grabbed a little girl and pressed it on the stove, the little girl was wearing patched clothes, thin skin and bones, at this time her head was facing a mouthful of "coo" bubbling hot water, an old man was kneeling on the ground, and the four people looked at Chen Xu who rushed in in a daze.

One of the homeless people on the edge of the stove said, "Who are you?" He/mother/of, nosy! ”

Chen Xu did not answer.

At this time, Suo Hu and He Meng each escorted a homeless person into the house, and the old man who had just knelt on the ground moved his knees on the ground, hugged Chen Xu's thighs and said, "Master Jun, save us!"

When the homeless man who opened his mouth just now saw it, he said with a hideous face: "Don't move! Put your bow down for me! Otherwise, I'll kill this girl! ”

"Good! I put my bow and arrows down. Chen Xu responded, put away the bow and arrow in his hand, "Don't hurt them, let this little lady go!" Listening to the conversation you just had, you are only asking for food, not harming people's lives. We have food here for you. ”

It was the homeless man who spoke just now who spoke, and it seemed to be the head of this group of homeless people who grabbed food: "Don't talk about these haves and don'ts, let them go first, and make conditions to me!"

"If you let go of that little lady, I'll let them go." Chen Xu insisted that he would not hand over the initiative to the enemy, there were hostages in his hands, although he did not know the relationship between several people, but at least he could make the two people on the other side have some scruples.

"Are you really stupid for us! Let go of this girl, Lao Tzu still has a way to live, I beat you, I ran away?! The head of this outcast is not stupid, said.

Chen Xu was no longer a rookie who had just come to this world at this time, and he was not shaken by these few words, he remained calm and said, "You see that we have a relationship with this family? The three of us just came up to beg for a drink. ”

"You let this little lady go, there is a way to live, we have three horses tied outside, you can ride away. But if you kill this little lady, then there is nothing to say, only a dead end! ”

As soon as the words fell, Suo Hu, He Meng and Chen Xu had a tacit understanding, and the knives on the necks of the two homeless people were slightly forced.

Frightened, a homeless begged for mercy: "The military master spares his life!" The military master spares his life! ”

Chen Xu stared at the leader of the homeless people opposite and said, "What about my idea?" I think you're just asking for food, and if you hurt the innocent, it's not good for everyone. ”

But the leader of the homeless people seemed to be indifferent, Chen Xu looked at the boiling water that was erected by the two homeless, and his head was facing the steaming strands of boiling water in the stove, if his hand slipped and he planted his head, the picture was too miserable to imagine.

At this time, the man who was controlled by He Meng shouted: "Boss, save us!"

When the leader of the displaced people on the opposite side heard this, he scolded: "Shut up!" and gave the man a look.

Seeing this, Chen Xu said, "That's it." I suggested that we exchange two horses for the life of this little lady, and that I take my two brothers and carry them out first, leaving two horses behind. You let the little lady go, and then go out again and ride away. After you left, we came in and saw that the little lady was safe and sound, so we let go of your two men. What do you think? ”

"Okay! You go out first! The fierce man said.

So, Chen Xu turned his head and instructed Suo Hu and He Meng behind him: "Let's go out first."

Just as he was about to go out, the fierce man spoke again: "Before you go, leave the grain behind."

Without speaking, Chen Xu put the dry food on the ground on the three of them and left the house.

After leaving the house, the three of them escorted the two homeless people out of the courtyard, and by the way, they took one horse away, leaving only two war horses in the yard.

After leaving the courtyard and walking for a while, He Meng said loudly: "Forget about cutting these two goods, who cares about the life and death of these two subordinates at the moment of life, let's keep it!"

After He Meng said this, the two people holding him showed fear on their faces and were silent.

Chen Xu said: "We didn't force them to be in a hurry, keep these two goods, just in case, they have some scruples."

At this time, he heard the sound of horses' hooves "trampling" in the courtyard, Chen Xu heard the sound of the voice, and saw that the two men were each riding horses, fleeing to the front, and did not take the little lady away.

Chen Xu immediately said: "Suo Hu, you go to the courtyard to see the situation, He Meng, you are here to watch these two goods, if you are disobedient, you will be killed."

With that, he jumped up and ran in the direction of the two fleeing men.

The two people obviously hadn't ridden a horse, they weren't fast, they didn't run far, and they were soon caught up by Chen Xu.

The two people in front heard the sound of someone chasing after them, and when they saw that it was Chen Xu, they looked shocked, scolded a few words, waved their whips, and wanted the war horse under their crotch to run fast.

But it was too late.

Seeing this, Chen Xu held his breath and focused on the backs of the two of them, took a bow and pulled arrows, and the two arrows were fired together, both of which hit the target.

Burst!

The sound of arrows entering flesh is heard.

The two of them planted on the ground with a "bang", and Chen Xu also received a prompt sound in his mind that the system had obtained negative emotion points. Apparently killed.

The war horses that were not restrained by their masters ran wildly, so they quickly caught up and lassoed the two horses and controlled them.
