Yuan Xi on the other side was also about to reach the end at this time. It was noon, although the weather was not hot, but after walking dozens of miles with a load, he was still covered with hot sweat, and the whole person was steaming hot.

The others were stimulated by the thirty acres of land, and they were all energetic, and they didn't feel tired at all. The first person who couldn't hold it was Yuan Xi himself, although he didn't want to bear the consequences of losing, his body was indeed the weakest. He carried the least amount of weight on his back, but was the first to walk in vain. After all, he was a scholar before, and he didn't exercise much, so it's understandable that his physical strength was poor.

And the straw sandals seem to be too shabby, and the blisters are about to grind out as they walk. Yuan Xi estimated that if he changed to soft-soled sneakers, he would definitely be able to walk a few more kilometers.

Xu Dayan saw him slow down, and hurriedly held him up, saying, "What's wrong?" Can't walk? Why don't you take a break? ”

The smiling tiger Li Ping said: "After all, he is the noble son of a big landlord's family, and his body is weak." ”

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "No, I've already rested twice, and according to our plan in advance, we can only rest when we walk to the front pavilion." Otherwise, you won't be able to get to the place before dark. ”

As a captain, you must lead by example, if you don't follow the discipline, the people under your command will definitely be messed up. In his previous life, he was used to being a grassroots leader, and he still knows this.

Xu Dayan took off the things on his body and said, "Then I'll carry your things." ”

"That's embarrassing." As soon as his shoulders loosened, a sense of comfort suddenly spread throughout his body, but he still had to be polite.

Xu Dayan was burly and arrogant, and said: "Big landlord, just give me an extra ten acres of land when the time comes." ”

Li Ping's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "I'll also carry a little, and give me more land when the time comes." ”

Yuan Xi thought that his landlord's cattle were blown out, but he didn't need to spend any money anyway.

They were pestering here when suddenly there was a commotion in the field ahead. There was the moo of cows, the bleating of sheep, and the shouting of people.

Li Ping likes to watch the excitement the most, and hurriedly said: "What's going on, let's go up and take a look." ”

Yuan Xi turned his head to see that a group of big men were driving the scattered sheep and roaring towards here. They had been walking in a long serpentine pattern on this path in the field, while the big men drove the sheep and walked on another parallel path. Then a few women who came out of the field cried out, "Come, thief, rob my sheep......

There were about twenty or thirty men in the flock in front of them, all of them bare-chested and bare-breasted, wearing a gown, but all of them were holding clubs in their hands. Although the peasant women shouted, they did not dare to come forward for fear of being beaten.

One of them also laughed arrogantly: "I just robbed your sheep, what's the matter?" ”

This Yuan Xi said: "Stop, form a formation, let's go and drive away the thieves who robbed the sheep." ”

Xu Dayan did not do less to help each other when the road was uneven, he said: "Why bother to form a formation, I am enough alone." So he jumped down from the field alone, rushed a few steps, and shouted, "Where did the thieves come from, let us go to camp here first, and retreat quickly." ”

In fact, the group of big men had already noticed their group, and they were wondering how they could still meet a team of about dozens of people in the poor countryside, thinking that it was an ordinary caravan, and hired some martial artists with swords on their backs, so they scolded: "Where did you come from, don't worry about your grandfather's business, get out!" ”

This can provoke Xu Dayan, he has already boasted about Haikou in front of Yuan Xi, but these people don't give face, then he took a few steps forward and took out a short halberd from behind, and the two thieves slapped the two halberds down, and immediately put down two people.

After all, they are professional soldiers, and their physique is different from ordinary people, and the two thieves have no power to fight back at all, so they fall to the ground, moaning, and shouting: "Broken, broken......" I don't know where it was broken.

"Good boy, do you know which hill we are from?"

One of the black-faced men shouted.

Xu Dayan sneered: "I don't care which mountain you belong to, do you know which mountain I am from?" ”

The black-faced man said, "Oh? Which hill are you from? He wondered if he had met some fellow green foresters. After all, I still haven't seen it, and I haven't even heard of it before I went to camp first.

Xu said with big eyes: "It's good to say, we are working under Jizhou Mu." ”

The man shouted, "Fuck, it's an officer." ”

It's just that Yuan Xi's team didn't bring a flag because they wanted to reduce the weight on the road, so they looked like a group of bandits, those thieves obviously had no eyesight, how could there be a fellow green forest wearing armor and walking neatly? At this time, after Xu Dayan's eyes, he opened the dog's eyes and took a clear look, although they panicked one by one, but they were not scattered, several thieves looked at each other twice, and suddenly took the road and fled.

Yuan Xi and a few others happened to see this scene next to them and laughed out loud. Yuan Xi thought to himself that his father's signboard was quite loud, and even the thieves ran away immediately when they heard it.

But in the blink of an eye, I couldn't laugh. I saw that the bandits retreated in an orderly manner, and they also knocked over several peasant women who were following them, one of whom was holding a baby in her hand and was snatched by a thief. The peasant woman lost her baby, and she screamed. The thief who robbed the child was just taking the opportunity to take revenge and bully the weak, but it was also a burden to hold the child in his hand, so he threw it away, and the baby was frightened and couldn't stop crying, and after falling to the ground, the crying stopped abruptly. The peasant woman climbed forward, probed the baby's mouth and nose, and suddenly screamed heartbreakingly.

Fan Yang, who was on Yuan Xi's side, covered his eyes, sighed, and said, "It looks like it's gone." ”

Yuan Xi's eyes suddenly burst into flames. In this era, it is the norm for children to die young, and a family has three or four children, at least half of them die for various reasons, so others are a little sorry at most, but in his opinion, a fresh little life is gone in front of him, how can this be endured?

"Chase!"

Li Ping said: "Boss, really chasing? These thieves don't have the guts, they can escape quickly, if they catch up, let's not think about Juye Slope today. ”

Yuan Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Juye Po is a fart!" The duty of a soldier is to protect the people. Quick, unload the things on your back, take a small weapon from each of you, rush up to me, and kill me! ”

The group of people around him was considered well-trained, and after listening to the order, everyone immediately did it. The bell clanged, and the things on his back were immediately thrown to the ground. Xu Dayan was the first to roar angrily and chased after the thief who had just thrown the baby.

"Gather together, don't scatter." Yuan Xi commanded while running.

The group chased the thief out a few hundred meters with the broken thief, and the man was finally frightened, and fell to the ground with garlic under his feet. Several of his companions did not dare to turn back to save him and continued to run forward. And he didn't stand up, but knelt directly on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "A few heroes spare their lives......"

Yuan Xi rushed up, out of breath and said, "Spare your life? Why don't you spare the lives of small children? He swung the halberd with great force, but he used too much force, and not only did he not hit the man, but he fell himself.

Xu said with big eyes: "I'll come!" ”

"Ahh

I only heard the thief's scream, and he was nailed to the ground by Xu Dayan's halberd.

Yuan Xi stood up and glanced at the bloody corpse, and said, "Chase again!" ”

Fan Yang was stunned for a moment: "Still chasing?" ”

At this time, the ground suddenly trembled, and I don't know who shouted: "Cavalry!" ”

Everyone looked at it together, only to see dozens of dark shadows popping up from the fields.
