Chapter Forty-Eight: Mountain Bandits
It is a great blessing to go out and meet a nobleman.
Although he was just helping to ride, Chen Changsheng was still very happy in his heart.
"I don't know how old my husband is?"
Chen Changsheng casually chatted with the old man, and some drinks were neatly placed on the cart, looking at this appearance, he came to Changxing City to buy goods.
Uncle Lu smiled: "I just turned seventy. ”
Chen Changsheng complimented slightly, "Fifty knows the destiny of heaven, sixty sixties, seventy ancient rare, old man, you are a long life." This world is still rare, it can be seen that it must be the filial piety of the father and the son, and the family is harmonious. And your body is naturally great. ”
Uncle Lu smiled happily, "Your little brother will be tight, but you are not wrong, I have a son, a grandson, and a granddaughter." Although it is not a rich family, it is also rich and well-fed, and lives freely. ”
Chen Changsheng also laughed to himself, "Three generations are in the same house, and the body is healthy, which is a good thing." ”
Old Master Lu nodded, "Yes, as long as we live to our age, we will understand better." But the little brother is not very old, so he has this realization, presumably something happened in the family, right? ”
Chen Changsheng thought of himself and couldn't help but sigh lightly, "The family is ruined, and my parents are gone, so I have these thoughts." ”
Old Master Lu couldn't help but glance at Chen Changsheng more, "This is very unfortunate, seeing that you are young, it has made you miserable." ”
Chen Changsheng smiled, "It's all over, life is always forward-looking." ”
Uncle Lu nodded, "It's quite good that you have this idea, everything looks forward, and nothing is unpassable." ”
Chen Changsheng smiled, remembering that Qingyunzi said that the town could just be learned about here, so he said, "Dare to ask the old man, what kind of town is ahead?" ”
Old Uncle Lu smiled: "Isn't it a little brother who doesn't know? ”
Chen Changsheng replied: "Because I asked a friend to say that I wanted to take a look, I don't know much about it, but there is a small town twenty miles south of the city. ”
Old Uncle Lu didn't continue to ask, "This is Xiangyun Town in front of it, and the population is not large. However, there is a mountain and forest road ahead, and the little brother should pay attention to it for a while, don't say anything about the collision. ”
As soon as he heard this, Chen Changsheng was surprised, and asked what was going on, and if there was anything else.
Old Master Lu explained with a smile: "The world is not good now, there is just a hill in front of this that separates Xiangyun Town from this Changxing City. There are also some people who are forced by life to do the thing of occupying the mountain as kings. ”
Chen Changsheng couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, but it is true that the world is not very good now, and this kind of thing is rare. He just didn't expect that Changxing City and that Xiangyun Town were only twenty miles away, so no one cared about this matter?
Hearing Chen Changsheng's question, Old Master Lu smiled disapprovingly: "A few rogues, where is the official mansion in charge?" When someone comes, they disperse, so there is nothing to do with them. However, there have been no deaths over the years. It's just a matter of scattering things, and that's it. ”
Chen Changsheng smiled, this kind of thing is generally turned a blind eye to the government, after all, it is too much trouble to really arrest it. It's just that if this is a dead reason, it is naturally the government's inaction and indulgence.
It's just that he, Chen Changsheng, is also a cultivator, and he doesn't have any strength, so he can't interfere in this matter. Even if you want to help, you can't help, and you can't say that it will cause trouble for this old man Lu in the future.
At that moment, the two casually chatted about other issues, and they didn't think about this matter for the time being. When I was about ten miles ahead, a dense jungle appeared in front of me, and there were hills on both sides, but ordinary hills, and the range was not very large.
Although this old man Lu didn't care about what he said, Chen Changsheng could also think that he could go out of the city at such an early time, so he naturally wanted to try not to touch them, and if he could avoid them once, he would avoid them once, but he really couldn't hide from it, just like he said, just scatter things, after all, if he asked for money, he didn't have it.
At this moment, the sky is only getting brighter, and even the sun has not really risen.
Uncle Lu slowed down and slowed down the mule, not because he didn't want to rush over directly, but because the movement was even louder, it was better to pass slowly. In this way, the movement is smaller, and it can pass better.
The range of this jungle is actually only one mile away, and the total distance itself is only twenty miles, which is almost in the center. These gangsters have suffered from Xiangyun Town, but this is very helpless.
When Chen Changsheng thought of this, his heart became more and more unhappy. But as Uncle Lu said, what can you do when it comes to this? The most he can do is get rid of some evil spirits that harm people, and that's the right thing.
But the two of them were still thinking too optimistically, and as soon as they walked to the middle, four people on one side walked down, holding ghost knives in their hands, looking at them with fierce eyes.
Old Uncle Lu stopped, glanced at Chen Changsheng, and told him that it was best not to do anything. Chen Changsheng understood, so he sat there and didn't move.
Uncle Lu got out of the car and said with a smile: "A few uncles are invited." ”
"Yo, old man Lu, it's early today."
One of the rather tall men smiled, his words tingling, and looked at Chen Changsheng at the same time.
Old Master Lu laughed dryly, "Third Master Song said that he was laughing, there was really something at home, so he rushed back as soon as the city gate was opened." ”
The others laughed shamefully, very disdainful.
Then Song Sanye said again: "Who is this person?" ”
Old Uncle Lu hurriedly said: "A relative in the family happened to be in Changxing City, so he was going to take him over and live for a while, so he had never seen him. ”
He was very humble and respectful. Then he pointed to the cart, "This time it's the same as before, with some wine." How many masters take a look? ”
"Relatives?"
Song Sanye smiled, looked Chen Changsheng up and down, and then smiled again: "I don't think it's like you at all." ”
Chen Changsheng frowned slightly, saying this is looking for trouble, deliberately making things difficult, whose relatives must be like him? But since he said this, he wanted to deliberately get more benefits.
Uncle Lu's face was a little ugly, he himself was making a little money to live, and usually being taken away part of it had already made him run away in vain, and now since then, he is full of bitterness. smiled at the moment: "Song Sanye, it's not easy for the little old man, you have a lot of adults, so be gracious." ”
Song Sanye smiled disdainfully, his eyes swept over Chen Changsheng to look at the wine on the cart, and said slowly: "It just so happens that the brothers have also been thirsty recently, and you old man don't have any money." Take half of it, and honor us. ”
As soon as he heard this, Old Brother Lu's face suddenly became bitter. Because Changxing City and Xiangyun Town are not far away, there is not much profit from this drink, if you take half of it, not only will you run for nothing, but you will also have to lose money.
Old Master Lu begged: "Third master, third master." Help, help. For the sake of the little old man, it's not easy, just take less, it's really poor at home......"
Before he finished speaking, he was brutally interrupted by another person, "Why do you old man talk so much nonsense?" Didn't the fuck just take a little bit of your wine? As for whether this is going to be dead or alive? ”
Uncle Lu had a bitter face, he was already seventy years old, and it was really not easy, seeing that a few people were about to move wine, he knelt down with a plop, "Please, a few masters, just raise your hand once." ”
"What?"
Song Sanye raised his chin and said coldly: "Do you also want to be broken like your son and lie at home?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Chen Changsheng immediately understood, no wonder this old man Lu was so old that he had to go to Changxing City, twenty miles away, to sell wine. The relationship is that the son has broken his leg, and it looks like it should be done by these bandits.
They're not even rogues, they're just a few bandits.
Uncle Lu's body trembled, he was not afraid of breaking his leg, but he was afraid that if he was also unable to move, he would cut off the family's source of income, and he would be entangled there for a while.
"What are you looking at?"
The thief who reprimanded Old Master Lu swept towards Chen Changsheng with cold eyes, and without waiting for Chen Changsheng to speak, he directly pushed Chen Changsheng to a stumbling back. Chen Changsheng frowned, and he was about to do it as soon as he clenched his hands.
"Forget it, forget it."
Old Uncle Lu's face was sad, but he hurriedly got up and stopped Chen Changsheng behind him. He was kind, he was still protecting Chen Changsheng at this time, and he knew in his heart that these bandits were ruthless, if Chen Changsheng collided with them, even if he saved his life today, this limb would not be complete.
"Phew, Stinky Daoist."
The bandit snorted and went over to check the drinks on the cart.
"Huh? Third brother, this old man's drinks this time are good, much better than before. ”
One of them opened his mouth and shouted, and immediately the other three people walked over, slapped open one of the jars and took a sip directly. Chen Changsheng also saw that among the four people, Song Sanye was the most powerful, and the three of them should have become bandits after worshipping together, blocking the road and robbing here.
"Well, that's good, then take it all."
Song Sanye took a sip and was immediately overjoyed, "I didn't expect it, you old man did a good job this time." ”
