Chapter 284: Lost in Troubled Times
Huang Meng looked back at this small village that should have been quiet, but now it revealed that it was strange, how could Huang Meng not be curious? Now Huang Mengdu has walked to the last door of the west of the village, and he is about to leave the village if he takes another step, but Huang Meng really has the heart to understand, what is going on?
However, those villagers treated Huang Meng as a demon, and it was impossible for anyone to come out to explain, so it seemed that this matter could only be put aside for a while, and then there would be a chance to visit again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Huang dreamed of taking another step and preparing to leave, after all, everything in this world is so unfamiliar, although the historical background is familiar to everyone, but this is a game after all, no one knows what will happen. Even if it is a game company, they are not 100% sure, such as the previous Demon Spirit Warlord incident, which really gave the game company a good lesson, and it turns out that the game company also has times when it can't grasp the game process.
So Huang Meng walked out of the small village and stepped on an ancient road, and found that it was possible to summon mounts here, but fortunately there was no need to walk, otherwise he might encounter the same embarrassment as the gods. Although Shen Rebellion also has mounts, it is inconvenient for him to ride in the deep mountains, so he basically has to walk for a while.
But just as Huang Meng was about to summon the BMW to leave the place, he suddenly heard someone shouting. Although the voice was a little small, Huang Meng could hear it very clearly due to the silence nearby.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, and wait!"
Huang Meng looked back and saw an old man dressed in rags and linen clothes with patches and patches trotting over. Because the old man is too old, it is actually an exaggeration to say that he is trotting, but he just looks at his footsteps are very difficult to turn upside down, but in fact, he does not go very fast. No, although he was struggling to move forward, he was still some distance away from Huang Meng. If he was allowed to run a long distance, he might fall to the ground and die directly, I don't know if this is Huang Meng's sin.
So Huang Meng temporarily gave up his heart to leave, and finally met someone in this village who was willing to take the initiative to talk to him, of course he couldn't miss it, maybe this was some kind of hidden mission.
It's just that the old man's speed of action is really slow, so Huang Meng can only turn around and walk back to the village, and see what the old man says.
Almost after a breath, Huang Meng came to the old man's side, and this strange speed made the old man wipe his sweat again and again, and even felt a little like hitting a ghost in broad daylight. But after all, he has lived for so many years, and he has never seen anything strange, and he is not strange when he thinks about it. Only then did he take a breath and said, "Zhuangshi, you're not here to catch a strong man, are you?" I don't think you're the same as the other officials. ”
"What's the difference?" Huang Meng said and checked his dress up and down, although Huang Meng had never seen what the officers and soldiers in this background mission were wearing, but his dress should indeed be different. Besides, how can ordinary officers and soldiers afford equipment above dark gold?
But the old man's answer was not Huang Meng's thing at all, I saw the old man wiping his sweat with a blackened handkerchief and said, "That's the case, when I saw a strong man passing through our village just now, not only did you not make a fortune, but you also did not wreak havoc, it must be different from other officials." That's why I risked my death to see it. ”
"Risking death? Do you want to be so exaggerated? Huang Meng really felt quite speechless, could it be that they really regarded themselves as monsters before?
The old man suddenly looked around cautiously, and then lowered his voice and said, "Don't you know the strong man, some officials are more ruthless than bandits, and even more rampant, and all the young men in our village have been captured and confiscated, including my little grandson, who is only 16 years old. Now only we are the old, weak, sick and disabled in our village, and we are really blind, what kind of world. ”
The old man cried as he spoke, and suddenly from the corner of the wall, an old lady walked out slowly, the old lady walked to the old man's side, held the old man's shoulder and said, "Strong man, it seems that you are really not an official who came to arrest people, so can you agree to the old slave's request?" ”
Before Huang Meng could reply, the old man stood in front of the old lady and said, "Strong man, don't listen to my wife's nonsense, we have nothing to do, as long as you don't bully us poor people, if you need food or something, we may be able to piece together a little bit, I am the head of this village, this little thing is not difficult to do." ”
"Get out of the way, old man! I have to say! The old lady who was hiding behind the old man pushed the old man away, and said in a hurry, "This strong man, I don't think you are a bad person, you are dressed a little like those officials who captured my grandson, if you are in the same military camp as them, if you see my grandson one day, just take a look at him for us, is it okay?" ”
"What's your grandson's name?" Huang Meng wanted to help with this, but as soon as the words came out, he regretted it a little, because Huang Meng felt that this kind of task might not be completed at all, because according to the words of these two old men, it was inferred that their grandson must have been taken away as a strong man, no matter which military camp he was assigned to, it was very difficult to even have a name for the record, and there was no way to find the existence of this person. In other words, the people who were arrested had almost no chance to return to their hometowns, and it is estimated that these villagers also knew that they would be called Huang Meng Demon when Huang Meng first entered the village.
The old man and the old lady saw that Huang Meng's attitude was good, and they were moved to tears, and the old man, the village chief, was so excited that he couldn't speak, but the old lady wiped away his tears and said, "Zhuangman, my grandson's name is Ergou, Wang Ergou, his father died in the chaos, and his mother also looked for a short time. ”
System news: Whether to help the villagers of Yinling Town find their grandson 'Wang Ergou', you can get a certain amount of points and villager favorability after completing the task.
Huang Meng was thinking about whether he should refuse the old couple's request, and suddenly received a message from the system, only to know that this was a specific task, but it happened to be triggered by Huang Meng. If Huang Meng, like those officers and soldiers, burned, killed and looted as soon as he entered the village, he would definitely not be able to get this task.
It's really hard for Huang Meng now, since the system news has said so, then what the old couple said must be true, although they are all virtual characters, but they are standing in front of Huang Meng's eyes, how can Huang Meng refuse them ruthlessly?
So Huang Meng was ruthless, nodded and said, "Okay, two old men, in fact, you don't need to thank me, I will definitely keep this kind of thing in mind, and when I enter the military camp one day, I will definitely help you keep an eye on your two grandchildren." ”
"Oh my God! Thank you, Strongman! The old man cried even more now, a handful of snot and tears, and the old lady next to him was even more excited, and even knelt on the ground, Huang Meng was startled, and hurriedly helped the old lady up, although this old lady is a virtual character, but Huang Meng also felt that it should not be so big, he is a young man, how can he receive such a big gift?
"The two old people don't need to be like this, if I have the opportunity one day, I will definitely give you a fair time." Huang Meng looked at the two old men who were crying, and his heart was really painful, these characters were so realistic, how could they treat their feelings as virtual data?
The old man reluctantly controlled his emotions, and said with a bitter face while wiping his tears, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" "Well, this old man is so excited that he doesn't seem to be able to say anything else.
At this time, another system message sounded, which suddenly pulled Huang Meng back from emotion to reality.
System message: Congratulations on successfully accepting the task of 'Looking for Wang Ergou', there is no time limit, the task reward is unknown, and if the task fails, you will lose some popular favorability.
"I'm dizzy" Huang Meng hid his face and was speechless, although the name of this task is very funny, but Huang Meng was not happy at all, although Huang Meng reluctantly followed this task, but Huang Meng knew very well that this task could hardly be completed, and the probability of failure was more than 99%, it seemed that the failure penalty would mostly fall on his head. It's really a good idea to do bad things, and he suffers a dumb loss, but Huang Meng feels that he has no regrets, and he knows that he shouldn't do some things, but someone still has to do them. Otherwise, what kind of human beings are human beings, aren't they like animals?
When the old man and the old lady saw Huang Meng's tangled appearance, they thought that Huang Meng was unwell, Huang Meng was their future savior, how could they watch it, so the two old men asked a little anxiously, "Zhuangshi, what's wrong with you?" ”
Huang Meng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's nothing, by the way, I have to leave, I will definitely help find your grandson!" ”
"It's really unrewarding, I can't imagine that there are such kind people in the world, but looking at the strong man, you don't look like Pei Gong and their people, are you, oops, what am I doing, it's really mouthy." The old man said that he actually slapped himself, and it seems that he really thought that he had said something wrong and disrespectful.
"Pei Gong? Liu? Huang Meng almost didn't think about it, so he said directly, so scared that the two old men almost fell.
The old lady helped the old man and said cautiously, "How can a strong man call Pei Gong by his name?" It's going to kill your head. ”
"Haha, I'm afraid of what he's going to do? It's good if I don't kill him. Huang Meng laughed directly, and the laughter was undisguised, almost spreading throughout the entire village. Although Huang Meng is a little arrogant, what he said is really not an exaggeration, if Liu Bang does not have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, he is really not Huang Meng's opponent.
"Hey, strong man, don't make a noise, be careful, you have to be killed if you don't say anything this year, alas, the sky has no eyes." The old man looked around and said cautiously, although the old lady didn't speak, but looking at her nervous eyes, you can know that she must be exactly the same as the old man's thoughts. One can imagine what the people here have been tormented by the war. Whenever a war happens, it is always those generals who are in the limelight, but it is these ordinary people who suffer, which is really unfair.
"Okay, okay, I'll be careful, I have to leave the two old people, and we will meet again." Huang Meng was about to turn around and leave as he spoke, he felt that there was not much point in continuing to stay here, and he had to go out and have a look.
But Huang Meng just took two steps, but was dragged by the old man, he didn't expect that the old man had so much strength, Huang Meng was afraid that he would lose his breath if he was too excited, so he quickly stopped and turned around and asked, "What's the matter, old man?" ”
"A strong man can't go directly, he needs to take a detour, and there is a wetland (swamp) not far in front of him that is not dry all year round, whether it is a cow, a horse or a living person, as soon as he steps into it, he will not want to live." The old man looked at Huang Meng a little nervously, for fear that Huang Meng would not believe him and continue to move forward.
