Volume 2 The Walker Patrols the Four Seas Chapter 118 Chihe Village Chapter (2)
The main quest has been issued, looking for Heiyang Village, and when you hear it, you know that this must be the group of mountain bandits mentioned in the battlefield preview, and for the time being, Jiang Ling's group of players is likely to be in cahoots with the mountain bandits.
Jiang Ling didn't have much psychological burden on this, and he was still thinking in his heart that the other party might also be a group of green forest heroes who did the right thing for heaven, stole the way, and killed the rich to help the poor.
At present, Jiang Ling and the three of them followed the convoy and walked along the path, although Leia had falsely offered to help each other get the package, but Khernov had no intention of helping with his arms crossed, Jiang Ling ignored him, and politely asked the youngest man if he needed help.
The young man looked a few years younger than Jiang Ling, leaning on a big sack made of linen, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead, but he shook his head vigorously to signal that he didn't need to help.
Jiang Ling didn't continue to insist, I was afraid that the other party would think that he was too diligent and had bad intentions.
The three of them didn't have the cheekiness to sit on the cart, but walked next to the cart pulled by the mule in front, after all, there was a lot of goods on the cart, and it was strange to see the two thin mules and donkeys.
Leia is still talking to the old man, trying to get as much useful information as possible, with her understanding of some customs and customs of the Fengyin Continent, as well as her intelligent mind, there will be no loopholes in front of this kind-hearted old man.
"Twenty miles ahead, our village will be there." The old man said.
"It won't take long." Leia rolled her eyes and pretended to ask, "I don't know what the name of your village is?" â
"What is not a noble village, it is just a small village, but the name is given by a learned senior, called Chihe Village." The old man opened his mouth kindly, and then smiled a little embarrassedly: "The old man is the head of the village. â
"It turns out that you are always the village chief, you are so simple and kind, and you have to do it yourself when you go out to buy goods, and the people in the village are happy." Leia flattered her appropriately, and her words were mixed with the meaning of inquiry.
The old man shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't have any skills, and the people in the village are very simple and kind." I don't always follow when I go out to pick goods, usually I can have a few sons to go. As he spoke, the old man turned his head to look at the woman beside him who was holding the child, and his eyes showed love, and said, "It's just that today I am going to the county town to bring back my daughter and grandson, so I will go with them." â
"Oh, then this little boy is your grandson, and he looks so cute." Leia looked at the little boy and smiled.
The little boy looked like he was four or five years old, with a pair of big eyes that were clear and immature, and he was secretly looking at the woman in the beautiful red dress, but when LÊa smiled at him, he shy shrank into his mother's arms, and after a moment he peeked out and glanced at LÊa again.
"How old are you, and you still drill into your mother's arms, are you ashamed." Mother quipped.
This woman looks a few years older than Jiang Ling, she looks delicate, her eyebrows and eyes are gentle and kind, her smile is gentle, and her eyes are full of love when she looks at her son.
Jiang Ling couldn't help but glance at this woman, if Leia is a bottle of mellow and attractive wine, then such a simple and clean field woman is like a stream on the mountain.
Leia stretched out her hand to tease the child, and then asked, "By the way, old man, there won't be any bandits in the barren mountains and mountains around here, right?" â
As soon as these words came out, the faces of several villagers around them changed slightly, and after glancing at Leia, the woman also subconsciously hugged the child tighter.
The village chief was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "There is indeed a group of bandits, not far in front of Heiyang Mountain, there are about 100 people. â
Leia said, "Ah, wouldn't it be dangerous for you to pass by their territory so openly?" â
The village chief took out a wine gourd from his arms, took a sip of wine and calmed down, and said, "The bandits on Black Sheep Mountain... Heroes, they can be regarded as some benevolence and righteousness, their big bosses have some friendship with the people of the triad in the village, and they have not done anything to the people in the village for many years, and generally only plunder the merchants who pass between the two cities. We ordinary people don't have anything to intercept, but every time we pick goods, we have to pay them some food and wine. â
Jiang Ling thought silently when he heard this, listening to this meaning, the mountain bandits on Heiyang Mountain are indeed not innocent people, and they also know how to talk about morality.
The village chief looked ahead and added, "It's that I forgot to remind you, this is almost their territory, and there may be someone coming down to pick up the goods, so you must not argue with them." Their big bosses generally don't go out much, but the second boss is a violent temper, and the third boss has a lot of ghost ideas, looking like a good person on the surface, but in fact he is ruthless. â
"Understand, we won't cause trouble for the elderly." LÊa spoke, secretly jotting down the information.
After chatting for a few more words, Leia turned her head and whispered to Jiang Ling and Khernov: "It seems that there is Black Sheep Mountain in front, we can go up the mountain directly, or go to the village to have a look first." â
Jiang Ling and Khernov thought about it when they heard this, and Leia asked again: "The location of the battlefield this time is called Chihe Village, and it is not called Black Sheep Mountain, maybe there are really some plots waiting for us in the village, why don't you go to the village first?" â
Khernov nodded, feeling that it made sense, Jiang Ling also thought so at first, but the next moment, Jiang Ling frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "I think it's better to get on the line with the mountain bandits first." â
"Oh?" Leia looked over and asked, "What do you say?" â
Jiang Ling explained the details he had just thought about: "What if, I mean, the hostile players and bandit teams are in the village at this time? The three of us went straight over, wouldn't we have to face the hostile players and the 'forces' they possessed alone? â
Leia instantly understood what Jiang Ling meant, and said, "Are you saying that we should first complete the system tasks, determine a united front with the mountain bandits, and gain power?" â
"But what if there is any treasure in that village, or a neutral resource?" Hull suddenly said, "What if the hostile player arrives at the village first, obtains the things in the village, and loses us?" â
Jiang Ling first glanced at Khernov quietly, not because Hull refuted his opinion, but because Hull's sentence was very insightful and thoughtful, Jiang Ling secretly said in his heart that this fighting nation is not as well-limbed and simple-minded as it appears, but has a strong game strategy ability.
But Jiang Ling also thought about it in this regard, and replied: "You are right, but in comparison, I think it is safer to make friends with forces first." â
Hull also frowned slightly, and didn't seem to agree very much, but he felt that what Jiang Ling said made some sense, so he didn't refute it directly.
Leia thought for a moment, lowered her voice and said, "I'll inquire about the information again." â
Jiang Ling reminded: "Especially this triad. â
The battlefield information mentions that there is a gang called the triad in the village, and just now the village chief also said that the mountain bandits' Datong Road has a relationship with the people in the triad, so this triad is very likely to be a key in the plot of this battlefield.
Leia turned around and wanted to continue the conversation with the village chief, when the little boy had already stood up from his mother's arms and stood on the cart, holding her mother's shoulder with one hand and a small kettle in the other, and looked at Leia with big eyes flickering.
Seeing this, Leia smiled warmly and asked, "What are you going to do, little friend?" â
The little boy paused for a moment, then plucked up the courage to hand over the kettle in his hand and said in a milky voice, "Drink water." â
Leia was suddenly surprised, took the kettle, and gently pinched the little boy's cheek, and said, "Thank you, little cutie." â
The little boy shyly tried to burrow into his mother's arms again, but his mother gently stopped him and signaled him to be bold, and the little boy hugged his mother's arm tightly and turned to smile at LÊa.
The child's innocent smile hides the spring blossoms, and the mother also smiled very happily when she saw that her son had made some progress, and Leia couldn't help but feel warm in her heart and smiled.
But the next moment, LÊa suddenly turned her head.
Jiang Ling instantly realized that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" â
Leia returned: "There are people in the woods ahead, seven or eight people. â
Leia didn't press this down too low, and the village chief also heard it, he was first shocked by Leia's keen perception, but then he thought that the other party was a dart master and should have some skills. The village chief spoke: "It may be that the heroes of Heiyang Mountain have come to fetch wine and rice noodles, and they will bother the three of them to go to the back for a while, and let the old man deal with them." â
The village chief was afraid that these three dart masters would rely on their own force and clash with the mountain bandits, which would easily affect several villagers on the one hand, and hurt themselves on the other hand.
But from the words of the village chief, Jiang Ling guessed that although those mountain bandits had rules of not harming the villagers, they would not be too polite to think about it.
The village took another sip of wine, drove the car closer to the woods, and sure enough, a group of people rushed out, eight in all, each with a bright and swaying guy in his hand.
When the village chief saw these people, his eyelids jumped, and he muttered, "I don't know each other." â
"Old man! Scare you silly! Among the eight people, one of them was bare-chested and exposed, with a slap on his chest to protect his heart, and the rough man smiled fiercely and said, "Black Sheep Mountain robbed!" â
The village chief hurriedly got out of the car, took two steps forward cautiously, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Heroes, I understand the rules, there are drinks and rice noodles specially prepared for heroes in the car." â
"The old thing still has a bit of eyesight." The leading man took two steps closer, put the big knife on his shoulder, and suddenly said: "But recently, Lao Tzu has been short of some money to spend, just have rice noodles to use for a fart, take the money out!" â
Jiang Ling saw this scene in the back, his brows furrowed, and he felt that something was wrong, these bandits didn't seem to have any meaning to talk about rules.
The village chief listened to the tone of the other side much more stiff and ruthless than before, and couldn't help but be a little confused and panicked, and hurriedly said: "In the past, it was okay to leave rice and noodles and wine, we went out to purchase, and the money on our bodies was spent." â
"Don't talk nonsense, rice noodles and drinks, you call Hanako?!" The man actually took a step closer, slapped the village chief, and shouted: "Money! Lao Tzu asks for money! Otherwise, you're going to die! â
The men pushing the wheelbarrow on both sides of the vehicle were the eldest son and the third son of the village chief.
The mountain bandits also approached, and the leading man raised his knife again, pointed at everyone and shouted, "What are you doing!" Look for death! â
