Since ancient times, the profession of robbers has occupied an important position in every dynasty or every historical period, and most of the robbers are born from poor peasants.

But, then again. Although there are many heroes among the robbers who like to fight injustice, rob the rich and help the poor, but the reason why the robbers are called robbers, not chivalrous, let alone righteous people, the real reason for chasing them is because the main business of this robber is actually to rob the house, even if they will occasionally distribute it to the poor people after grabbing the finances, but as long as it is a robbery, it is indispensable to kill people and goods, and no one can guarantee that the person they kill is the one who is extremely vicious, and no one can guarantee that they have not killed an innocent person。 No one can guarantee that among the so-called rich people they kill, there are no people who should not have died.

A robber is a robber after all, a murderer, a robber, and this does not need to be whitewashed or concealed by its sinful nature.

Erniu and the hostess held a child, after thousands of mountains and rivers, a long journey, just to find a place to settle here, there were many poor people like them around, some people fell, some gave up, and some slowly left. In the end, only a team of about ten people remained.

In this procession, there is a group of elderly couples, a thin teenager, three dark and thin village women, and a mysterious middle-aged man in a robe.

The group of ten people walked without any communication, and they all carried the sticks they had picked up on the side of the road in their hands, one to use as crutches, and the other to guard against some equally hungry beasts on the road. Even if it doesn't work in the end, at least you feel safer.

At this time, Zhao State, the whole country is in drought, thousands of miles of red land, people don't say that they eat, even saliva is difficult to find, when escaping from the Xiandu, basically most of the people in the city have not eaten for several days, countless people have starved to death, and even the washing liquid in the government has been empty, so it will become a borderless land, resulting in no law and discipline here, murder, robbery, violence, one after another.

Even if they didn't suffer from that disaster, they would have to flee from the city in the end, because most of the people in the city did not starve to death, but died in the conflict between people.

There were one hundred and fifty-six wells in the city. It was all cut off, and there was no longer a drop of water, and the riverbeds of the three small rivers were all exposed to the cracked bottom. Dead fish and mussel shells stuck diagonally in the original river bottom, ironically something.

The trees outside the city were dying one by one, not because there was no water, but because the people had gone out of their way to eat the bark when they were hungry.

In this grim environment, it is difficult for people to maintain the reason and restraint unique to human beings, and instead of the most basic pursuit of survival, living has become their ultimate goal, and everything else is not important, what courtesy, righteousness and shame, what personal dignity, and what conscience are all left behind.

The reason why a group of ten people always walk with each other on this dry land is precisely because they are smart and understand that if they want to live a little longer, they can only go all the way in the footsteps of everyone.

Along the way, they saw too many poor people who fell to the ground and didn't want to get up, and they did help some poor guys, but in the end, those people had lost hope of life and were willing to wait for death.

Everyone finally came to a mountain stream, and suddenly they heard the terrible sound of falling rocks on the mountain, and stopped everyone shouting with a spear in his hand on the cliff.

"Stop...... The people below listen, you need to know that this mountain is Lao Tzu's territory, since it is Lao Tzu's territory, so it is not appropriate to let you go over with such a swagger...... But that's okay...... Uncle, I was born into a poor person, so naturally I won't be too embarrassed for the poor......" The big man then put his hand in his mouth, and a whistle that sounded through the sky had just fallen, and at the entrance of the mountain stream in front of me, suddenly a group of robbers rushed out, there were thirty or forty people, and all of them showed a fierce face.

Er Niu and the others saw these people, and instantly took two steps back, they were a group of ten people, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and now when they encounter these robbers who kill people for a long time, where can they have a good end, not to mention that this robber will not be short at all, since the way forward of everyone is blocked at this time, naturally everyone will not have the slightest possibility of escape.

Sure enough, the robbers who rushed out quickly surrounded the group of ten people, and the old couple who were at the front were pushed down by a strong man, and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time, and the three women were kicked back by several thin but obscene-looking men as they fled backwards.

The most pitiful thing was the young man, who wanted to escape towards the gap in the cliff on the side, but was stopped by several robbers who had been guarding there for a long time, and he was slashed twice in the leg, and the blood flowed.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... We were all poor people fleeing the famine, with nothing on us, all of us having not eaten for days...... Please, raise your noble hand and let us go......" At this time, the mistress held the child and pleaded bitterly.

When the robbers heard this, not only did they not have the slightest pity, but they even laughed when they looked at each other.

"Hahaha...... This girl said, as if who is better here, we eat this bowl of rice here, what we do is to make a living by robbing the house, usually when the life is good, occasionally do some good deeds, but now this kind of people eat people more, our life is not easy, you say you can't let our brothers have no food to eat, this kind of world, what kind of benevolence and righteousness, what kind of kindness, and whether you have seen too much drama. If you really do what you say, shouldn't I still prepare dry food for you to send you over the mountain...... It's so beautiful......"
