Chapter 27: Where Three States Meet
After the meal was ready, the bandits began to grow in large chunks, and Doctor Hua also took Zihao and Zhou Cang to join the meal.
However, because Zhou Cang had already eaten lunch, he only ate a little bit to make himself return to a full stomach.
It's Zihao, because he was picked up by the honest young couple halfway home, and there was only leftovers, so he didn't eat enough at all, so he ate more this time, three bowls of rice, which was because he didn't want to expose his talent and was absorbed by the bandits.
At the end of the meal time, the bandits went to dispose of the looted belongings and rations, as well as the corpses all over the ground, and Dr. Hua was also asked by the bandit boss to deal with the injuries of the injured bandits.
After a full hour, the bandit boss gave the order to set off.
"Don't be stunned, hurry up and get ready to go, be careful that those families find our traces, and then exterminate them."
The bandit boss shouted, and mounted his tall horse.
The other bandits followed suit and formed an orderly procession.
The bandit boss and twenty horsemen led the way, then after the battle was killed, the horses that were empty and loaded with supplies followed, and finally the bandits and wounded who had no horses, as well as Doctor Hua and Zihao and others, followed slowly behind.
As for the corpses in Shanyang Village, they were arranged by the thief boss to pile them up in a room long before eating, and set a fire to them when they left.
Along the way, whenever there was free time, Dr. Hua would teach Zihao and Zhou Cang to read and write.
In this regard, the bandits didn't care about it, they ignored it directly, and completely according to the wishes of their own boss, when Zihao and Zhou Cang did not exist.
Not only that, but every time they ate, they didn't prepare water and food for the two of them, but Doctor Hua asked for a little more food under his efforts, but because he wanted to give it to Zihao and Zhou Cang, the three of them were not full, so they could only barely cushion their stomachs to ensure that they would not starve to death.
It took them two months to find a place to stay, a branch of Mount Tai, located at the intersection of Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou.
There are more than a dozen villages in the surrounding area, large and small, which deserve a piece of "rich land", and this is because they have captured a few small villages, coerced the young and strong to join the gang, and took the old and weak women and children to the mountains to build a village.
If not, I'm afraid that the surrounding villages will have to be twenty or more.
However, it is precisely because of the actions of these bandits that everyone in the surrounding dozen or so villages is in danger, and many villages have begun to form village guards under the call of the village chief and clan elders, and even several large villages that have contacts are still discussing whether to join forces to defeat this cottage.
In the past two months, Zihao and Zhou Cang have been tortured, and the two of them and Doctor Hua have fallen behind more than once because of hunger and walking speed.
However, the bandits would not give up Doctor Hua, a medical talent and the treasure that could bring them exercises, and were directly arranged by the bandit boss to take them on the road.
As for Zihao and Zhou Cang, they didn't care about it, and they looked like they were left to fend for themselves.
However, Zi Hao accidentally saw that the eyes of some bandits occasionally skimmed towards them, obviously observing them.
He didn't know if the bandit boss had arranged for these people to kill them if he saw them leaving the team, or if he just wanted to see their perseverance so that they could be included in the cannon fodder team.
But he didn't dare to gamble, so he could only grit his teeth, take Zhou Cang forward, and just follow behind the team, even if his legs were numb, the soles of his feet were blistered, and he couldn't stand hunger and fatigue countless times, and fell to the ground, he could only follow closely, and he didn't dare to leave the team at all.
In this process, Zhou Cang's performance was very unexpected by Zihao.
Maybe it was because he inherited his father's honest temperament, or maybe it was because he was not convinced that Zihao, a child younger than him, performed better, this six-year-old child actually showed perseverance beyond ordinary people and followed closely behind Zihao.
As long as Zi Hao doesn't stop to rest, he will never stop, and as long as Zi Hao doesn't cry out in pain and tired, then he will never snort.
There may be some reason for the unwillingness to be unconvinced, but Zihao guessed that it was more likely that he had the strength to surpass him when the bandit shot his mother before, but he still pulled him to hide under the corpse, and did not follow him out to take revenge.
As for Zihao saving his life because of this, he didn't care at all.
Children, too, are always a little paranoid and only think that they are right.
But Zihao didn't care, he remembered the grace of a meal, and when he had the opportunity, he would definitely not hesitate to kill these thieves and take revenge in person.
But the premise of all this is to live.
Fortunately, in the days of hurrying, although Zihao and Zhou Cang were extremely difficult, they had the medicinal wine and massage prepared by Doctor Hua from time to time, and the two of them followed the team closely.
As for the perseverance shown by the two, whether it would cause the thieves to be vigilant and kill the two directly in order to avoid future troubles, neither the two nor Doctor Hua cared.
Zhou Cang didn't think of this, and Zihao consciously ignored it, because it was useless to worry about this now, at least it was enough to be okay for now.
As for the days to come, we can only take one step at a time.
There is no way, he is controlled by others, and his fate is his current situation, he can't resist, and he can't resist.
As for death, he didn't think about it.
Relive a life, no one wants to die.
Especially from an ordinary and ordinary world, to a world full of mystery.
Even if this world is not as interesting as the previous life, the mystery, extraordinary power, and background of the era are more worth looking forward to than the previous life.
In such a situation, no one will want to die.
The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones......
Whenever Zihao can't bear it, he will recite this text from middle school in his previous life in his heart, and at the same time connect with the novels he has read, constantly hypnotizing himself as the protagonist of this era of this world, and the suffering he suffers is in preparation for shining on the heavens in the future.
Of course, once he relaxes, he will immediately warn himself that he is definitely not the protagonist, you must endure it, you must develop obscenely, otherwise you will waste yourself to death.
No way, this is what he has learned from reading many online articles, those who make themselves the protagonists are often the fastest and most miserable people in the novel.
I have to say that this method is very useful, and it is precisely this method that Zihao can persevere, not only grinding away the impetuousness of his previous life, but also exercising his perseverance and becoming much calmer.
