Ranger.

Master Jin Laozu has not yet borrowed Guo Jing's happy silly boy to say: The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. Before, the so-called ranger was just a slightly decent self-title.

The word "swimming" is a good description of their habits. At that time, under the premise that ordinary people needed the government to issue a road guide certificate to go out of the county border, such a group of people who did not have official 'passports' were not much worse than the homeless people. If you don't run around, you have some skills, and if you are caught by the government, you will have to go to prison and then be sent back.

Under such a big premise, the so-called word 'chivalry' is really the self-title they use to grow a little face. In the eyes of the common people, this is a group of ruffians and bullies who rely on force. Gangs are bandits and hooligans. Roaring in the streets and alleys all day long, competitive, causing trouble, and what he does is really not related to a chivalrous word.

And in fact, based on the behavior of this group of rangers, these words really did not wronged them. Although there are also people who are good at fighting grievances or even robbing the rich and helping the poor, they are still far from the chivalrous demeanor mentioned in Master Jin's book.

Take Qiu Ge as an example, although he didn't do much to bully the weak. But after all, he grew up in an environment where the weak eat the strong on the small grassland, and when he was strapped for money, he relied on his fists and did not give money for food. However, although he was born as a horse bandit, since his father-in-law, the Han people who were robbed to the grassland were originally honest farmers, although they were forced to become horse bandits for survival, but their nature was not much worse.

But when he returned to Guanzhong, he followed the gang of horse bandits, extorting business travelers and robbing passers-by, but he learned a lot from this bad thing. Fortunately, although his nature is fierce, it is not bad, especially after understanding the affairs of men and women, he slowly understands why his mother didn't get it, and why his father died. After such an experience, Qiu Ge was particularly disgusted with certain things. Helplessly, his circle of friends knows such a group of unscrupulous people, and he has seen too many things, and he really can't take care of them, so he can only turn a blind eye and listen to them.

When he stopped, some of the movements were particularly harsh, and Qiu Ge plucked out his ears unhappily and said, "Eighth child, hurry up and put that little girl back." Your bag of grain can be thrown on the road in the middle of the mountain, and when people find out that they are gone, a fool can know that we are up the mountain! ”

The eighth child was thinking about finding an opportunity to sneak into the forest and have a good time, but when he heard this, he didn't want to, but he rolled his eyes but agreed: "Hey, big brother." If she were to be let go of the woods of the black Brown winter, the little girl would have to feed the wolves before she could continue, and I would send her to the hut at the foot of the mountain. Tie it up first, and as long as the people in this stockade find someone, they will not go into the forest in the dark. That's it, right? ”

Qiu Ge let out a muffled 'um' sound, turned his head and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. The old eight were like Feng Lunyin, hehe, and he directly pulled a piece of cloth to plug the little girl's mouth, tied his hands and feet, and walked into the forest without being too tired to carry it. The person who knew Lao Ba's mind followed the person who drank the soup glanced at Qiu Ge with his eyes closed, and he didn't know who to explain: "I'll accompany Lao Ba to go back, in case the people in the village catch up, I can report the news." ”

The eighth, who shouted twice and ran fast, hurriedly followed, and as soon as the man got up, two more people said: If you want to go to convenience, you want to go to collect firewood and make a fire. Before leaving, he did not forget to explain to his companions that they were optimistic about their food.

It wasn't until the firelight shook Qiu Ge's face that Qiu Ge got up slowly, and moved to the nest of the tree where the fire was lit with his bag of grain: "Xiaobei, you haven't lost the pot yet, give me something to eat." ”

Xiaobei is the fourth child of their group of grain stealing gangs, and he is a little brother who followed Qiu Ge with the bandits later. Nineteen people in this line are ranked according to their age, although Qiu Ge is not the oldest, but he is the oldest and has the most solid subordinates, so he became the boss. Except that he is the fourth Xiaobei and the seventh Pang Ye are his brothers, the rest are just temporary companions, so he really can't care about what the eight people do.

"Hey, big brother, you wait a while. The guys are carrying it at supper, picking up firewood, and they can't eat this supper without him. "Xiaobei is a few years younger than Qiu Ge, but he has been giggling and laughing without seriousness, and Pang Ye, who is just twenty, looks older than him.

Listening to his brother's laughter, Qiu Ge smiled slightly, and then he felt a lot more relaxed. originally thought that this night was just a hand-to-, but I didn't expect the third child to be so unreliable. It is only said that there is food, and the people in the mountains will do some rural tricks. But this night, I ran around the mountain and saw what was going on, if they hadn't reacted quickly, they would have been blocked in the valley and slaughtered by others by now. Although it is safe for the time being, there is no road in this barren mountain and wilderness, and how to get out tomorrow is a problem. Fortunately, the food has finally arrived, and with the skills of their brothers, it is not a problem to hide in this mountain forest for a while.

"Go, pick it yourself. On such a big day, the leaves are wilting, and you are afraid that you will not be able to get firewood. ”

Hearing this, Qiu Ge raised his eyelids and took a look, it turned out that someone was watching Pang Ye holding a large bundle of branches and trying to beg for a fire. After all, this is not a fateful friendship, Pang Ye is young, how can he care about that little face. Why are you a ruffian who thinks about getting something for nothing.

"Alright, Xiaoye. We can't burn those, so we'll give it to the third child. Qiu Ge raised his voice and said, "Hey, third child, pay attention when you light the fire." The crown of the tree is lighty, and it can be seen from the mountains on this dark midwinter night. ”

The third child proudly snatched most of the branches from Pang Ye, and responded casually to Qiu Ge's reminder. For Qiu Ge, the boss, he is amazing in martial arts, except for the fourth Qi Bei and the seventh Pang Ye among the nineteenth people, the rest of the people Qiu Ge can pick five one by one. Therefore, for such a capable person, when there is danger, everyone counts on his skills and naturally respects him. Is this danger gone......

Pang Ye walked to Qiu Ge's side angrily and brushed the branch in his arms, and the leaves almost swept to Qiu Ge's face. Before Qiu Ge could speak, Xiaobei reprimanded: "You don't know how to do things, you have the courage to fatten you, and you are still burning at your eldest brother." Although Xiaobei reprimanded him, he still suppressed his voice and didn't let others listen to the joke.

Pang Ye noticed that a branch was on the side of Qiu Ge's mouth, and he hurriedly picked up the branch and moved: "I'm sorry big brother, I'm not aiming at you." I just can't get used to ......."

Qiu Ge understood the character of his little brother, and he didn't blame anything, and patted his belly: "Okay, we're still waiting for Xiaoye to get us a supper and sacrifice our five internal organs temple." Hurry up and take the pot down, there's still water? I touched a handful just now, this wheat has already been shelled, hurry up and get some porridge to drink, this night tossed ......"

Pang Ye agreed and untied the big burden on his back. As soon as the burden was opened, I saw that the pots and pans, soup spoons and chopsticks, stacked neatly and neatly according to the size, and the gaps were filled with some wooden barrels containing onions, ginger and garlic, which were stuffed to the brim. At least Qiu Ge and Xiaobei thought that they couldn't run with so many things on their backs, but there was no terrible sound. Pang Ye is very good at this, and he is very quick to clean up, and it is not cumbersome to carry it on his body.

In fact, most of these rangers who run the single gang have some guys who eat, of course, this does not refer to their weapons, but real things for eating. Unlike the actors in the TV series of later generations, the hero wandered around the world, packed a few clothes with a small baggage, and went out with some money. In this era, the transportation is so inconvenient, coupled with the vast area and sparsely populated, the city is concentrated in so many places. It's not the future life, as long as you go out, as long as you have money, you won't worry about the environment for food and clothing wherever you go. If you really wander, if the 'heroes' don't bring their own dry food, you may not be able to find a restaurant even if you have money. Therefore, Xiang Qiu Ge and the three of them have been wandering for many years, and they never have much money on them, so they have long been accustomed to cooking by themselves and what they have to eat.

Before Pang Ye put the pot on the bonfire, he heard a scream in the distance. Qiu Ge reacted quickly, stood up with a heel, drew his scimitar, and stared in the direction from which the voice came from with a wary look. The others were stunned for a moment, and then they also stood up and took out their weapons. Xiao Bei picked up his horizontal knife and stood beside Qiu Ge, muttering in a low voice, "You won't chase it so soon." Before the words fell, there was another scream in the distance.

Qiu Ge's face was grim against the firelight, he straightened his ears and carefully distinguished the constant sounds, and the corner of his eyes swept the people who came over, and saw that someone had already carried the food on his shoulders and was ready to run, and said disdainfully in his heart: "It's not like listening to the movement." If the people in the cottage chased after them, there would be some shouts, but now there are only screams...... Probably the eighth and they encountered some kind of beast. Kindness? It's coming. ”

Hearing that it was a beast, everyone was obviously relieved, so many of them were burning the fire again, and they were not afraid of the beast. Listening carefully to the sound of running from far and near, I saw a dark shadow running around the tree. When I came to the firelight, I saw that it was the old eight who ran back with a snort, and the little girl was still resisting his shoulder, and she hadn't put it down yet.

Everyone asked what was going on, and the old man waved his hand out of breath, but he couldn't speak. When everyone was anxious, they saw a figure running over, and the root of the tree that had been lifted under their feet stumbled and rolled over. Everyone hurriedly helped him up, but it turned out to be the old seventeen who wanted to 'drink soup' in the past.

I heard him say in a frightened voice: "Quick, yes, yes, there is a tiger!" ”

Qiu Ge was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't panic, and hurriedly ordered: "Fourth, burn the fire and get a few torches." Everyone gathered together, and the tiger did not dare to come. Seventeen, five and nineteen! How are they? ”

Qiu Ge gave this order, and the panicked people who had just heard about the tiger calmed down. The fear of tigers is innate, that is, no matter how strong the martial arts are, there are a few people who are not afraid of tigers. But now that there are many of them, and there are torches, they are not afraid of tigers daring to break in. However, Qiu Ge told Xiaobei to get a few torches, but everyone felt that it was safer to have a torch in their hands. At the moment, I can't care about the fifth and nineteenth who haven't come back yet, they are all people who have no roots and no family, who and who don't have the same blood in their bones, and they call out brothers, who cares about their life or death at this time.

The eighth got to the edge of the fire, and he didn't care about taking advantage of the little girl, so he threw the little girl on the ground with a flick of his arm, grabbed the water bag he didn't know whose one and raised his head and took a sip. The little girl had already fainted after being carried headfirst for so long, but she woke up again after a fall. He opened his walnut-like eyes dimly, and when he saw that there were still a group of wicked people in front of him, he couldn't help but cry again. But with strips of cloth stuffed in his mouth, his voice was muffled like the panting sound in the puppy's nostrils. The red and swollen eyes couldn't shed tears, and the little appearance looked so pitiful.

Qiu Ge frowned and glared at Lao Ba, seeing that he didn't pay attention to himself at all, he was angry, but now was not the time to settle accounts at all, so he could only hold back the anger in his heart and look at Lao Seventeen.

This old seventeen was originally a second-rate son in the countryside who refused to settle down and farm, and was glared at by Qiu Ge's eyes that contained a hint of murderous aura, and his legs trembled as if he had seen a tiger. said hesitantly: "I, I just, just see the shadow of the road." The fifth child was pounced...... Then I ran away with the eighth, and the nineteenth was pounced on again. Now, I'm afraid ......"

Feelings: This unpromising guy didn't even see the appearance of a tiger clearly, so he left his brother and ran away. Pang Ye pouted when he heard it, what kind of people are these, you don't even dare to see if your partner's brother is dead, what can you expect from them when something happens.

As soon as a dozen torches were lit, the woods at the darkest pre-dawn suddenly became lively. Birds and insects chirped, they were embarrassed, and the fox squirrels ran after each other, and they all ran over to join in the excitement and then turned around. Not to mention whether they can eat these 'prey' sent to the door, but the 'boss' issued an order to drive them far away.

In this situation, Qiu Ge didn't care if he would be discovered by the people on the mountain, so he took the torch and prepared to take Xiaobei and Pang Ye to see how the fifth and seventeenth were doing. Of course, the people didn't want the three strongest people to leave at the moment of danger, so they dissuaded them with nonsense, although they said that it was dangerous to disperse at this time, but what they said was that they were dead, and it didn't matter what they did. Qiu Ge could only suppress the anger in his heart and arrange for everyone to be vigilant, but he insisted on looking for it, after all, it was two people, no matter how powerful the tiger was, he couldn't take two people away at once, maybe he could save one.

Before Qiu Ge could finish explaining this truth, a tiger roar interrupted everyone's quarrel. As if impatient with their babbling and arguing, two bronze bells with blue eyes slowly walked out of the shadows, and walked leisurely along the boundary between light and darkness, looking at the prey besieging the city. By the light of the fire, almost everyone could see a playful expression on the face of the tiger with a white forehead and a black royal pattern. Even Qiu Ge, who had killed a tiger before, stared at him and suspected that he had seen it wrong, but the appearance of the tiger in front of him gave him a kind of contempt, disdain, and provocation for people like himself.

Provocation! Qiu Ge perked up and said loudly: "Everyone be careful, this beast wants to lure us to take the initiative to go over." Don't be fooled! Do not leave the range of the fire. ”

Everyone responded in unison, huddled back to back, each holding a torch and stretching forward, constantly poking at the tiger, but not a single step closer to his feet. At this tense moment, the little girl with her hands and feet tied and the strip of cloth in her mouth suddenly struggled, and her mouth whined like a shout. Everyone only thought that this little girl was afraid when she saw the tiger, but who could believe that this little girl actually knew this tiger. The eighth child kicked the little girl impatiently, and was tossed by this tiger, but the opportunity for him to put out the fire was completely gone, so he was naturally in a bad mood.

However, just as everyone was paying full attention to the tiger in front of them, thinking about how to drive it away. The tiger, who had been going back and forth several times, suddenly stopped, stopped and looked at them, as if he wanted to give up and retreat but was unwilling.

The spirits of the people were lifted, and some of the bold ones brandished torches and swords, laughing and scolding at the tiger. Seventeen, who was crowded on the side, was sweating in his nervous palms, and he couldn't hold the knife. Hurriedly held the torch in one hand, put the knife into the armpit, wiped the sweat on his buttocks, and raised his arm to wipe the sweat on his forehead. Before he could put his hand down, he felt as if his vest had been hammered hard by a hammer, his chest was stuffy, and a mouthful of blood spurted out when he opened his mouth. Before he could react to what was going on, he looked at the ground blankly, and saw a shadow suddenly jump up and pounce on the person next to him.
