The middle-aged man led the way in front with a hoe, and Luo Han followed behind.

Out of politeness, Luo Han asked: "I don't know my uncle's name yet, and I will repay him in the future." ”

The middle-aged man waved his hand: "I can't talk about my surname, my surname is Wang, and everyone in the village calls me Wang Laosi." ”

"Then I'll call you Fourth Uncle. I don't know what kind of boundary this is? ”

The fourth uncle said: "This is Liangzhou, where is the young man from?" Why don't you even know this? ”

Luo Han's eyes rolled: "I just returned from a trip to the West, and my hometown is Yizhou." ”

The fourth uncle suddenly said: "No wonder he will go the wrong way, it seems that he should have gone in the wrong direction in the mountains." I envy you martial arts people, you have the ability to go anywhere. It's not like ordinary people like us, who have never been out of the county in their lives. ”

It seems that Luo Han guessed correctly, the geographical division of this scene is according to the ancient state and county system, but I don't know what the situation of the imperial court is. But this is not easy to inquire, and there is no hurry, just listen slowly in the future.

Luo Han said: "Although people in the martial arts seem to be free, they often wander between life and death, and their ordinary life is not necessarily bad. ”

The fourth uncle nodded: "That's not bad." Let's just say that a while ago, the Tigers and the Leos Club in the county fought over a trivial matter, and more than a dozen young men died like this. ”

Luo Han asked tentatively, "Is no one in charge?" ”

The fourth uncle shook his head: "Who dares to care about them?" The local government has never interfered in martial arts affairs, as long as they don't gather people to rebel, oppress civilians, pay taxes on time, and let them fight to the ground, they will not come forward. ”

Pay your taxes on time? Luo Han wanted to complain a little, but think about it, traditional martial arts does have bugs, a group of violent people kill people and set fires all day long, and destroy the sect at every turn, but the government never comes forward, under normal circumstances, which emperor can tolerate such a thing? This scene setting is probably a reference to modern Japan, with some changes made in combination with the plot, and it is also a bit like the attitude of Xuan Yiwei.

Luo Han himself is also a "martial arts person", and it is inconvenient to ask how to distinguish between martial arts people and civilians, so he casually agreed: "This is also the case in Yizhou, so we also live with our heads tied to our trouser belts, sometimes I think that if we can rest at sunrise and sunset, plough the acres of farming, and ignore the grievances of this martial arts, it is also a great blessing." It's a pity that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. ”

The fourth uncle said with a smile: "Listening to Shaoxia, it seems that he has an extraordinary background, he understands a lot of truths, and his knowledge is much stronger than that of me, a farmer." ”

Luo Han said: "The fourth uncle has won the award, the road is simple, the real truth is in ordinary life, the fourth uncle may not know less than me, but he is not good at expressing it." ”

The fourth uncle laughed again: "Shaoxia is really good at talking." In front of us is our village. Big Strong! Two dogs! Aunt Cui, a guest is in the house! ”

In front of them were sparse civil houses, and it was roughly estimated that there were about 20 families, some children playing in the open space, and some women sitting at the door mending their clothes, but there were no men, and they were still working in the fields and did not come back.

Luo Han looked at the sun in the sky, it should be around four o'clock in the afternoon, and the fourth uncle came back early for him.

Two children, one tall and one short, ran over, the high one was twelve or thirteen years old, and the short one was eight or nine years old, and the fourth uncle followed and said in unison: "Daddy." ”

The fourth uncle smiled and said: "Da Zhuang, Ergou, come and see this young man, he is a hero who walks the rivers and lakes, very powerful." ”

Luo Han hurriedly said: "My surname is Lin, a single name is a cold character, you can call me a big brother, I really don't dare to be a hero or something." ”

Ergou said: "Brother Lin is good." ”

Da Zhuang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Brother Lin, what kind of martial arts do you know, Brother Lin?" Can you teach me? ”

The fourth uncle, who had always been happy, changed his face when he heard this: "Shut up!" Then he turned to Luo Han: "Lin Shaoxia, don't listen to Da Zhuang's nonsense, we don't learn any martial arts." ”

If you want to talk about martial arts, Luo Han doesn't know it, but he has thoroughly understood the exercises, and it is feasible to teach others the exercises he has learned, but first, the number of paths is wrong, and second, there is no cheating in the trial ground, and it is not possible to practice it in three or two years.

Da Zhuang was unconvinced: "Daddy, why don't you let me learn martial arts?" I can fight off those bandits after I learn martial arts, so that you and the people in the village will not be bullied. ”

The fourth uncle said angrily: "Bastard, do you think martial arts are so easy to learn? Let's not talk about whether you have that talent or not, if you learn martial arts, you are a martial artist, and you will have to fight and kill all day long. Have you forgotten about the Tigers and the Leos two days ago? ”

Da Zhuang was still unconvinced: "I learned martial arts to fight away from thieves, not to fight and kill others, it's a big deal that I don't use martial arts on others." ”

The fourth uncle was so angry that he slapped Da Zhuang in the face and scolded: "Idiot, do you think that if you don't look for others, others won't look for you?" Is learning martial arts something like a country kid like you can do? You don't want to think about it, if you become a martial artist, our whole family will not be protected by the government, can you protect the whole family? ”

Before the fourth uncle said that he was envious of Luo Han, he really came to his own child, but he still showed a true attitude.

Da Zhuang was taught a lesson, and he was about to turn around and run away in a puff, Luo Han hurriedly grabbed Da Zhuang and said softly: "Da Zhuang, you want to learn martial arts just to eradicate the bandits, right?" Shall I help you destroy the bandits? Tell me, what is the origin of this bandit? ”

Da Zhuang was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted, "Brother Lin, is what you said true?" Are you really willing to help us eradicate the bandits? ”

Luo Han nodded: "Seeing that the road is uneven, pulling out a sword to help, it is within my generation." ”

The fourth uncle Xu beat the child on the spur of the moment, and he couldn't help it, so he came over and touched Da Zhuang's head, and said: "Lin Shaoxia doesn't know, this group of bandits are wandering in this county, robbing homes and robbing houses, and harming the township, which is not tolerated by the government, so there has never been a fixed foothold. Even if Lin Shaoxia has the heart, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it. ”

Luo Han thought about it and said: "The thieves are gathering, there are a lot of people, and there must always be food and accommodation." Even if his whereabouts are uncertain, he must temporarily set up camp and stay for a few days everywhere he goes. If there is any news about their recent appearance, it may not be impossible to trace them. I will keep an eye on it nearby, and if there are any clues, I will definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and return peace to the villagers. ”

When the fourth uncle heard this, he said excitedly: "If this is the case, I will thank the young man for his great kindness in advance for the villagers." ”

As he spoke, he was about to salute, Luo Han hurriedly hugged the fourth uncle and said, "The fourth uncle doesn't have to be like this. The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, and the fourth uncle is willing to show me the way and leave me to eat a meal, and I should have something in return. ”

The fourth uncle stopped talking nonsense and said, "Young man, come with me, Aunt Cui, hurry up and cook, Da Zhuang, why don't you go to the chicken pen to catch an old hen?" ”

Luo Han hurriedly said: "No, no, just eat some coarse tea and light rice." ”

"How can that work? Da Zhuang, why don't you go soon? ”

"Okay, Daddy."

Da Zhuang ran away happily, and the fourth uncle pulled Luo Han into the next room, brought tea, said hello, and went to the stove to help.

Luo Han wasn't actually hungry, he just wanted to take the opportunity to find out the information. Seeing the fourth uncle leaving, Luo Han played with the two children, and said a little by the way. The two children were very interested in the little fox on Luo Han's shoulder, but unfortunately the little fox was not interested in amusing the little kid.

After eating, Luo Han himself had a preliminary understanding of this scene, and quietly left the tiger skin as a reward before leaving the small village.

This "Heroic 113" scene is a high-martial arts scene, and although the martial artists have no chance of becoming immortals, they are also extremely powerful. Martial arts cultivation to the extreme, opening mountains and gravel is not a problem, and the life span will be extended. The government does not care about the grievances of the rivers and lakes, if there is a murder, the government can determine whether the deceased is a warrior through the autopsy, if it is a warrior, it will be ignored, if it is a civilian, it will be dealt with by the county government. At least in the eyes of the fourth uncle, the most powerful martial artist in the world must be in the imperial court, otherwise how can he suppress the martial artists in the rivers and lakes?

In addition, the currency of this world, like many martial arts stories, is composed of gold, silver and copper coins, which means that Luo Han does not have to worry about money. However, Luo Han didn't plan to spend too much of his gold, after all, this was brought from the outside, and it was common to all scenes, if he could get the money for this scene, of course he would use this scene, and whoever couldn't take this thing out would be a waste. Therefore, Luo Han should admit that it is also selfish to eradicate the bandits.

When I arrived at Wangjiaji, it was already getting dark. Luo Han found a small alley where no one was around, and used a dagger to cut a few small pieces from the gold nuggets for daily expenses. Although Storm did not encounter the scene of the big explosion equipment in the Xuan Rank, there were also some gains from killing so many powerful monsters, especially the loot of killing a few trial squads, and there were several pieces of silver-level equipment, and this dagger was also the top of the B-level, and the default B+-level weapon was still a good weapon.

went to the tailor's shop to buy ancient costumes that fit the scene, changed some loose silver by the way, and then washed his hair by the river, smeared a little powerful hair growth lotion sold in the Proving Ground, made his hair longer, and put on a hair crown, Luo Han completely became a heroic ancient ranger.

Luo Han knew from the fourth uncle before that there were only three kinds of people with short hair in this scene, one was a prisoner who had been tortured, one was a monk who was still vulgar, and the other was a martial artist who pursued individuality. Overall, short hair is still a bit too conspicuous here.

After changing his outfit and having change, Luo Han bought a horse, and after asking for the way, he rode to the county seat, successfully entered the city before the city gate was closed, and found an inn to stay.

This is Luo Han's second time in the ancient scene, compared to the Three Kingdoms, where people's livelihood is withering and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, it is more prosperous, and all kinds of food are more suitable for Luo Han's taste.

Luo Han finished dinner beautifully, filled his not very empty stomach, and prepared to blow out the lamp to sleep. At this time, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing and the sound of weapons colliding outside, Luo Han pushed the door and went out, and saw the shopkeeper running upstairs.

"Don't be impatient, it's just that the two martial arts gangs in this county are fighting, so you just need to stay in the house and you can do nothing."

Several guest room doors opened one after another, and the shopkeeper repeated this sentence back and forth, so that the guests could rest assured that they seemed to have a lot of experience.

Luo Han asked, "Little Er, which two gangs are outside?" ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's the Tiger Gang and the Leo Club, these two were originally in charge of the east and west of the city, and they were in peace." A while ago, a master came to the Tigers, and he wanted to occupy more territory, so he provoked a fight. ”

Luo Han nodded, he knew from the fourth uncle that these gangs lived on the protection money of merchants on weekdays. The government has limited manpower, and it can't control some public security incidents of petty theft, picking quarrels and provoking troubles, so it allows gangs to do this, let the gangs maintain law and order on their behalf, and even requires the gangs to pay taxes proportionally to enrich the government treasury. It's just that if there are other gangs grabbing land, the government doesn't care, as long as you collect money and pay taxes according to the rules, it doesn't matter who you are.

This kind of gang is mostly some martial artists with low martial arts, who are not capable enough to roam the rivers and lakes, and are unwilling to live like ordinary people. Their fight was not much stronger than the gangsters' fights, and Luo Han was not interested in observing, so he went to sleep after closing the door.

At dawn the next day, there was some commotion outside, Luo Han opened the window and looked out, and a group of officials were examining several corpses on the street outside. After a while, a leader-looking official said loudly: "It has been verified that the deceased are all martial artists, and it can be proved that they are members of the Tiger Gang and the Leo Club, so there is no need to file a case for investigation." Remove. ”

A group of officials left, and then a group of powerful men squeezed out of the crowd, carried the corpses, and left in two waves.

"It's kind of interesting, I have to wait for the official to be determined before taking the body for burial." Luo Han thinks it's very interesting, this kind of life at the bottom of the rivers and lakes is probably a portrayal of most martial artists, no wonder the fourth uncle is reluctant to learn martial arts.

asked the shopkeeper to send some early, and the shopkeeper was about to leave, when Luo Han stopped him.

"What else does the guest officer command?"

Luo Han took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to the shopkeeper, and said, "Little second brother, you inn is full of people, you must be very well informed." ”

The shopkeeper happily accepted the broken silver, such a small grain was equivalent to his salary for more than ten days.

"The guest officer inquired about the news, but he found the right person, and there is no news in Pingcheng County that I don't know."

"Then let me ask you, do you know about a gang of bandits roaming this county?"

"You mean Scar Camp, who in Ganquan County doesn't know Scar Camp. If you want to talk about this scar camp, but the government can't help the gang, wandering around, coming and going like the wind, everywhere you pass, whether the landlord is strong or an ordinary villager, if you pay the money obediently, you can be safe, if you don't obey the slightest, it will be all destroyed. It is rumored that this scar camp is full of scars, and it is full of warriors who have crossed the rivers and lakes, but it is not comparable to these gangs in the city. ”。

Luo Han was curious: "These bandits are so ferocious, why doesn't the government increase their efforts to exterminate them?" It could be that the government is not strong. ”

The shopkeeper took the money and knew everything: "Guest officer, what you asked, how can there be a bandit in the world who can oppose the government?" It's just that these bandits are too cunning, and every time they plunder, they are clean and neat, and they have fled into the mountains before the officers and soldiers arrive. You said that the elite soldiers of this government are limited after all, how can they take care of the surrounding countryside? I heard that because of this group of bandits, Lord Taishou has been scolded by the state government several times. ”
