Chapter 161: The Adult Who Speaks
The Flame Mountain Gang provides two meals a day, hares, voles, pheasants catch what to eat, not a famine year, but a refuge, the neighboring villages and towns do not dare to let people in, lest they be sat by the officers and soldiers, but the shops do not let go of the opportunity to squeeze out a lot of money, the guys carry the goods in twos and threes to peddle, rice grain, vegetable oil, fat pork everything, three or four times more expensive or someone will obediently pay money, or barter, these people are hungry, forced to hurry, regardless of the unlucky people who rushed into the town.
is rich and easy to do, and once robbed his own people, but the Flame Mountain Gang, which is based on the broken temple, does not worry about food.
Every time Zeng Niu bought food, he always brought a ticket with him, daggers, sharpened stone knives, sharpened wooden sticks, and the most threatening thing was the small repeater tied to Zeng Niu's forearm.
I don't know where Zeng Niu got it, this kind of range is up to twenty steps, and the strength is small, if it is not coated with poison, it is difficult to have the lethal Zhuge crossbow, in his hand is reborn, continuous shooting, each arrow can pass through the light armor, break the muscles and bones, and the shot will definitely die.
Zeng Niu deliberately showed the power of the crossbow in front of people, a splash who relied on the strength of Kong Wu and bullied the homeless, relying on standing outside the shooting range, not taking Zeng Niu seriously, and when he was hit by ten arrows in an instant, he collapsed like a hedgehog, and shouted without looking at him before he died: "This is impossible."
It is impossible for Zeng Niu to stand up for this sentence, when he appeared with a crossbow, no one dared to despise this group of children who did not have all the hair, and the merchants were also in awe of this little overlord, and the grain sold to him was definitely enough, and he did not dare to be shoddy.
Therefore, even if they can't manage it well, the Flame Mountain Gang will not eat worse than the adults outside.
Therefore, even if the children are coarse and torn, they do not lose their spirit, but they are young and sluggish, and a heart under their immature faces matures in advance, and they lack the innocence and playfulness that they should have at this age.
They hated the officers and soldiers who carried out robbery in the name of quelling the rebellion, and resented the court that connived at the murder of the officers and soldiers.
"Boss, his name is Fang Zhichen, he is from the same village as me, and he wants to join our Flame Mountain Gang."
If there is food, there will be people who will defect, Zeng Niu Dama Jindao sat on the god table, listening to the help of the people to recommend friends from the same village to join the gang.
Fang Zhichen is already twelve years old, and in this era, at the age of twelve, he can almost be on his own, and he can be regarded as an adult.
"Brother Niu is on top, the younger brother Fang Zhichen is willing to respect Brother Niu, and let the messenger have nothing to say, I only hope that Brother Niu can reward the younger brother with a bowl of rice to eat, so that the younger brother can support the old mother at home."
Fang Zhichen was dressed in rotten clothes, and his eyebrows were scattered with a rare bookish atmosphere of the Flame Mountain Gang, although he used a reckless tone, he still couldn't hide the tone of reading the sage books for many years.
Tang Yin said that the treatment of scholars must be intersected and treated with courtesy, otherwise they will never get their hearts, and the score is placed for people who only look at the appearance and do not look at the inside.
Before Fang Zhichen knelt down, Zeng Niu jumped off the table, standing on both sides of him, Jiaojiao, who had changed back into a dress, and Pu Sheng, who could not hide his bright colors even if he wore back into men's clothes, followed him step by step, only Su Xiulei couldn't move and leaned against the wooden pillar to concentrate on reading.
Zeng Niu stopped Fang Chenzhi from kneeling and said, "The Flame Mountain Gang can't do this."
Without waiting for Zeng Niu to reprimand, Pu Sheng spoke first: "Gong Qing, didn't you tell your fellow countryman that the Flame Mountain Gang only accepts people whose parents died?"
Knowing the gang rules, he deliberately brought people to cause chaos and let the boss be a villain for nothing, Pu Sheng was quite dissatisfied with Gong Qing.
"Wronged, I saw that their family was robbed, my sister was insulted, and the old lady was so angry that she vomited blood and had nothing to eat, so I brought him over to try it to see if the helper could make an exception, and I couldn't forget it."
Gong Qing screamed.
"Don't blame the young brother, I begged him to come and see the helper."
Fang Chenzhi exonerated Gong Qing.
Jiaojiao attached to Zeng Niu's ear and said, "Gong Qing usually likes to swagger outside under the banner of the Flame Mountain Gang, and last time he held half a chicken and gnawed in front of people, how could this scholar ask the boss for no reason, he must be going to take care of it."
Jiaojiao is a delicate and delicate girl in the gang, and the gang always likes to do things around her, and she is close to Zeng Niu, and some male babies will indirectly tell Jiaojiao and let her convey it to Zeng Niu to know."
Zeng Niu didn't like Gong Qing's scoundrel appearance, since he had a friendship with the village, he had to take responsibility for bringing people, what does it mean to not be able to forget it, and then listening to Jiaojiao say this, his impression of Gong Qing is even worse.
In order to lead by example, he and Su Xiu never even ate a chicken leg, they always ate breast, Gong Qing actually enjoyed half of it alone, and ** Cheng still snatched it from others.
"Rules are rules, who will obey what I say after making an exception, the food in the gang should be left for the helpless orphans, if you are willing to help, save a meal and give it to Brother Zhi'er, at most I will let you eat the remaining meal."
Zeng Niu unceremoniously squeezed Gong Qing.
"No, why should you give up my share, there is no shortage of food in the gang."
Hearing that his share was going to be deducted, Gong Qing revealed his true nature, this kind of selfish ghost who is not willing to eat at all and uses public food as a favor is the most disgusting.
Jiaojiao and Pu Sheng all changed their faces, but Fang Chenzhi was ashamed, in order to cause Gong Qing to feel sorry, sorry and about to leave, Fang Chenzhi just turned around, Gong Qing immediately changed to a disgusted expression, how could there be half of the friendship he said in his mouth.
Zeng Niu said yes, afraid that he would have a prejudice against himself, so Gong Qing said a few stammering words before retreating.
Jiaojiao and Pu Sheng both had something to say, and Zeng Niu knew what they wanted to say, so he waved his hand to stop it.
According to Tang Yin's teachings, this kind of bad factor that destroys the harmony of the group must be eliminated as soon as possible, and a rat feces will spoil a pot of porridge.
Fang Chenzhi had just walked a while, worried about where to find food for his sick mother, hating that he was powerless to tie the chicken, and even a rabbit ran faster than him.
"Brother Fang."
Because someone called, Fang Chenzhi stopped, and Su Xiu ran in front of him with a small cloth bag on his back.
"My name is Su Xiu, and Brother Niu wants me to send you this food."
Inside the baggage were a few pieces of cookbread and salted pork.
"This ......"
Fang Chenzhi was a little surprised, Zeng Niu didn't seem to be a person who was easy to shake his soft heart, and the homeless people said that the Bull Demon King was like a great enemy, as if he was an evil ghost who had escaped from the underworld.
"The Flaming Mountain Gang doesn't accept people whose parents are still alive, because we are engaged in the business of killing heads, and there is no tomorrow today."
He dropped his schoolbag and said, "Zi said: My parents are here, and I won't travel far; There must be a way to travel. If you travel far away, you have to tell your father and mother where to go, don't worry about it, let alone fight for your life? Unless the imperial court doesn't want Jiang Ning anymore, after a while, the officers and soldiers will no longer hunt and kill everywhere, Brother Fang will take good care of the old mother, and I will send food every day in the future."
To explain the reason, Zeng Niu can't make an exception openly, but he can give it privately.
Fang Chenzhi's eyes were red with emotion, and he accepted this kindness: "My Chenzhi is not an ungrateful person, I will definitely repay Brother Niu's kindness one day."
Su Xiu didn't talk much, he never said much if he didn't tell him, and after saying goodbye to Fang Chenzhi, he turned back to the broken temple, and happened to meet Gong Qing who went into the forest to relieve his hands, Su Xiu followed, kicked Gong Qing's buttocks, and made him fall into the urine puddle.
"Who kicked me?"
Except for Zeng Niu, Su Xiu, Jiaojiao, and Pu Sheng, the four demon kings, he didn't dare to mess with, and he Gong Qing boasted that he was the fifth person in the Flame Mountain Gang.
"It's not Su Xiu."
Tang Yin taught Su Xiu, the tree is straight and easy to break, and people are always defeated, there was no chance before, but now Su Xiu will practice it immediately.
As soon as he heard that it was the number one double-flowered big red stick in the gang, full of wolf nature, and he didn't bite to death and didn't let go of the Su villain, Gong Zhi was stunned, his head was pressed in the urine and he didn't dare to move, and he didn't open his mouth to breathe until the footsteps went away, and he spit out the filth in his mouth, and kept cursing Fang Chenzhi, and even complained about the sister-in-law Fang who had brought him before.
A few days later, a group of newcomers came.
Liu Guangshi couldn't grab enough in Jiangning, so he stared at the nearby Haoqiang, and couldn't move Qingyun Village, some small gangs and small factions of fish and meat villagers were no longer polite, and the new eight or nine people were just fish that slipped through the net, and everyone had knives and guns in their hands, and regarded the homeless people as the object of venting their anger, and they robbed for a while.
"Heng, can you beat the Bull Demon King?"
Just because of the unwilling angry words of a homeless person, these people are eyeing the Flame Mountain Gang.
One mountain can't tolerate two tigers, and the Flame Mountain Gang is a big kid, they can't win, they really don't have the face to continue to mess around.
I randomly found a homeless person and beat him, forced him to ask about the details of the Flame Mountain Gang and Zeng Niu, knowing that Zeng Niu actually had a crossbow in his hand, and a group of children had all the weapons to defend themselves, so they had to put away their contempt, and they wanted to kill them immediately, but after discussion, they decided to take advantage of the dark night to sneak attack.
Worried that someone would go over to report the news, a few people stood guard on the road to the ruined temple.
When Fang Chenzhi took a long detour to the ruined temple, the sky was already dark, and the children heard that a villain had come to the door, and they couldn't hide the panic on their faces, and they all looked at Zeng Niu.
Tang Yin has analyzed with him, the real ruthless characters will wait until the officers and soldiers come to the door to evacuate Jiangning, and they have no chance of winning when they meet Zeng Niu, Zeng Niu and Su Xiu are here to hone their skills, not really to occupy the land as the king, recruiting orphans is to make plans for the future, and Zeng Niu's hard work these days has been in vain.
Sending Su Xiu to investigate the situation, Zeng Niu instructed the children to clean up the softness, and if they can't beat it, they will run, and there is no need to fight with people.
Su Xiu brought back bad news, not only did this group of people have swords, but also horses as foot strength, the situation was very bad, and according to Fang Chenzhi, they thought that the Flame Mountain Gang had hidden a lot of money, and they would definitely chase after it.
If you want to escape, you have to abolish these horses first, and it is better to kill one or two people.
The first person in the gang to charge and dare to die was Su Xiu, and Zeng Niu handed him the heavy responsibility.
"You touched through the woods, cut off the feet of your horses, and ran straight in the direction of Fucheng."
especially told Su Xiu: "Take Jiaojiao, Pu Sheng and Da Lengzi to find the young master, here I will break off, don't come back."
Zeng Niu boasted to Tang Yin that he would never go back until he took charge alone, and now was the time for him to prove it.
"Brother Niu, be careful."
Su Xiu ordered a few people, sneaked into the woods in the dark, and heard Gong Qing volunteering, Zeng Niu snickered in his heart, this guy was afraid of death and wanted to slip away.
"Gong Qing, you stay, there are more important tasks to be handed over to you."
The plan is very simple, Zeng Niu hides behind the idol, Gong Qing is responsible for leading people to the idol, Zeng Niu shoots the repeater in the dark, no matter whether the other party is dead or injured, hit and run, just to buy time for Su Xiu to run away.
After succeeding, Zeng Niu and Gong Qing fled separately.
Su Xiu always has a mission, and when he heard the horse's sorrowful screams and vulgar curses from afar, Zeng Niu knew that Su Xiu had succeeded.
Although the wind was mixed with the cry of a child, Zeng Niu had no intention of mourning, and he was not allowed to shine at the moment of life and death, only hoping that the sacrifice outside would not be as serious as imagined.
"Over to you.
Zeng Niu fixed the repeater and slowly sank into the darkness.
Gong Qing saw Zeng Niu's positioning, and walked outside the broken temple with another thought, he saw a group of fierce men approaching with murderous anger, two of them were bleeding from their feet and necks, and they had to rely on people to support them to walk.
Su Xiu and the others only made the two of them bad at walking, but several horses were all planted.
"Heroes, please spare the little one's life, the little one was forced by the Bull Demon King."
The remaining six people were unharmed, and some of them were carrying longbows, and seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Gong Qing immediately turned back.
"The Bull Demon King is very cunning, he hides behind the idol to plot against all the heroes."
The Flaming Mountain Gang's tricks were all over the place, and they had just seen it.
A few children shouted and shouted at them from afar, but they didn't expect these people to be just bait, and they scattered halfway, the real killing was like a poisonous snake, crawling close to the grass, and suddenly the group slashed at the horse's feet, and then scattered in a hurry, and when they stabilized their position to chase, they could only chase one or two babies who fell by themselves, and were about to catch up on the forced confession, an ugly baby who cried indecently, while crying, took out a short knife, stabbed into the neck of their second master, skillfully pulled out the knife, and when everyone was busy stopping the bleeding for the second master, Pull another baby and run.
"Run."
No matter how fast the two babies ran, they couldn't outrun the bow and arrows, and the archer pulled out the strong bow to shoot the ugly baby, but the ugly baby stopped one step in advance, covering the other baby to go first, and the wooden box in his hand shot out a sky full of silver needles, even though none of them were fired, but the archer lost his head, and the feather arrow flew over the shoulder of the ugly baby.
With the bow and arrow again, the two babies have escaped into the darkness.
After suffering a loss, they were suspicious of Gong Qing, and escorted him into the temple, and the archers shot three arrows at the idol in one breath, and the arrows passed through the wood, but there was no blood or human wail.
"Well done, when you kill them, all their money will be yours."
Zeng Niu squatted on the beam and pillar, puffed and released arrows, guarding against the surroundings but did not expect the attack to be from top to bottom, the gangsters were shot in a panic, several people were injured, and the blood flowed all over the face was not terrifying, the most threatening of them was the archer, Zeng Niu jumped off the beam, stabbed a knife in the back of the archer's heart, and after landing, he rolled directly to the direction of the backyard, got up and ran, and did not look at Gong Qing who was begging for help.
Zeng Niu didn't count that the villains didn't believe Gong Qing's words, so he left two people to outflank him from behind.
In terms of personal strength, Zeng Niu couldn't compare to Su Xiu, the crossbow and arrow magazine was empty, and the hidden weapon sent by Tang Yin was handed over to Su Xiu to use, and the self-defense dagger was still inserted in the archer's back.
Suffering from the enemy on his belly and back, he had nothing to do, gritted his teeth and yelled: "Uncle Dog, Uncle Po, don't help me, I can solve them."
Before leaving, he told Tang Yin that he didn't need any help, but the manuscript in Su Xiu's hand would be updated in a while, which showed that Tang Yin had been sending people to keep an eye on the broken temple to protect him and Su Xiu.
Zeng Niu said the opposite, and as long as the gangsters found that there were others nearby, they would definitely shift their attention to the dog's nose and broken throat, and if the two parties did it, it would be none of his business.
Neither Zeng Niu nor the two gangsters who were looking around saw or heard anything going on.
Except for the sound of the wind and the wind, there is not even a shadow of a ghost.
"Aren't all adults talking? I'll just talk about it, you can take it seriously, Uncle Dog, Uncle Po, don't make trouble, hurry up and kill them without leaving a piece of armor, at most I will help you beat your legs and rub your waist every day in the future."
Zeng Niu confessed, but it was still the wind that responded to him, and it was the wind that was the wind......
