Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Villagers Misunderstand
It's a town, but it's just a slightly larger village, but the houses in the village are scattered, and the people outside look like it's the size of a town. (Fengwu Literature Network http://www.qiuwu.net.)

The mercenaries of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Regiment saw the outline of the town in front of them, and they felt that the fatigue of the day was swept away, and they felt full of hope, Lu Shan was also very excited at this time, although the mercenaries were in charge of life in the wild, but who didn't want to be able to have a comfortable bed for themselves to rest.
So Lu Shan turned his horse's head, faced the many mercenaries behind him, and said excitedly: "Brothers, our luck is good today, we don't have to rest in the wilderness, there is a town not far ahead, everyone hurry up, let's go to the town to rest." Then he paused and continued: "However, I have to say in advance, everyone should not take it lightly when they get to the town, they must stick to their posts, and do not forget their tasks, do you hear clearly?"
The mercenaries' hearts had already flown to the town, and they had long wanted to go over early, and when they heard Lu Shan's instructions, they all shouted loudly: "Hear clearly." ”
Lu Shan also knew their thoughts, looked at their expectant eyes, waved his big hand and said, "Okay, then let's go." With that, he took the lead and walked towards the town.
After walking for a while, you can clearly see the houses in the town, all of which are simple wooden houses, including some thatched houses, which can be seen that this town is really not very good, and life is definitely not much better, but for the mercenaries who have been running around for a day, it is enough, and it is good to have a place to live.
When they were about to approach the town, Lu Shan and the others vaguely heard a shout from the town in front of them, and it was very chaotic, I really wanted to have old people and children, Lu Shan looked at Ye Fei beside him, and the two of them frowned at the same time.
Lu Shan's right hand was raised, stopping the pace of the mercenary group's advance, this is the experience cultivated over the years, the situation in front is unknown, you can't approach lightly, every time you encounter an unexpected situation, Lu Shan always asks the mercenary group to stop and prepare for defense, and it is because of this that the mercenary group is saved again and again.
Everyone saw Lu Shan's gesture, and they all stopped, in the wolf mercenary group, Lu Shan's words are a qiē, for Lu Shan's order, the mercenaries are firm support and support, so when they saw his gesture, they forgot about the waiting of the town in front of them, forgot about the ** of the day, and their spirits suddenly tensed up, and they took out their weapons.
Ye Fei looked at Lu Shan and asked for his opinion: "Big brother, you wait here, I'll go to the front to see what's going on?"
"Brother, I'd better go over, you can just wait here. Lu Shan stopped Ye Fei and said to him.
Ye Fei waved his hand and said: "Big brother, don't fight, you are the head of the mercenary group, how can you leave your own mercenaries, and these mercenaries are still you can manage them, so it is more appropriate for me to go and see them, and I can deal with anything." ”
Lu Shan knew that he couldn't persuade Ye Fei, so he had to say to him: "Then be careful yourself, and come back quickly if there is anything." ”
Ye Fei was just about to speak when he heard the sound of horses running in front of him, Lu Shan and Ye Fei turned around to look, only to see two horses running over the town, and after a closer look, they found that it was Ah Gen and Xiaohu.
Soon the two ran to Lu Shan and them, Lu Shan looked at them, not knowing what was going on, Ah Gen gasped at this time and said, "Front...... Front...... That ......"
Xiaohu saw that Agen was panting uncomfortably, so he pulled him to rest, then took a deep breath himself, calmed his breath and said to them: "In the village in front, I don't know why many people ran out, and they all came to us with weapons and shouting. ”
When Lu Shan heard this, he was even more puzzled, he was not familiar with this place, nor did he know the people here, and they were all holding weapons, obviously not here to welcome them, so he turned to look at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei thought for a moment, and then asked Xiaohu, "Do you hear what they are shouting?"
Xiaohu listened to Ye Fei's inquiry, shook his head after thinking about it, and then said: "No, I just saw a lot of people running out of it at that time, and they kept shouting to kill, I don't know what they were shouting, did you hear it clearly? Xiaohu said and asked Agen again.
Agen also shook his head and did not speak.
Ye Fei had no choice, so he had to say to Lu Shan: "Since this is the case, we definitely can't hide, it's so close, we can't run, and there's no need to run, we just wait here and see what those people want to do, but no matter what, we still have to be prepared to defend." ”
Lu Shan nodded in agreement, then turned to the mercenary behind him and said, "Everyone defend and prepare to meet the enemy, no one is allowed to do anything without my order." Then with Ye Fei, Agen and Xiaohu, the four of them stood at the front of the team.
Soon after Lushan and the mercenaries were ready, they saw a group of unusual people running in front of them. It is unusual because almost all of the people in this group are old people and women, all of them are older, and each of them is wearing coarse cloth clothes, with large and small patches on them, and holding hoes, sickles, or clubs in their hands, which are called weapons.
When this group of unusual people ran in front of Lushan and them, they saw the people of the mercenary group, and they didn't expect that there would be so many people, and their hearts were a little weak, so they didn't attack at the first time.
Lu Shan and they didn't expect it to be such a group of people, seeing them like this, and they didn't look like they were moving, so he didn't order to attack, so the two groups of people confronted each other.
Lu Shan didn't know what was going on, so he wanted to ask the other party about it, but before he could speak, he heard a white-haired old man walk out of the crowd on the other side, holding a wooden stick in his hand, pointing at Lu Shan and their group and scolding: "You damned bandits, robbers, didn't you just send you a lot of tribute two days ago?, why are you here again? Are you trying to squeeze us dry and not leave us a way to live? Then don't you all have a good time, let's fight with you." ”
At this time, the group of people behind the old man also shouted angrily: "Yes, fight with them, don't let us live, everyone will not be happy." ”
When Ye Fei heard them say this, he felt that maybe they had misunderstood his group, so he got off the horse and walked out, Lu Shan wanted to hold Ye Fei, but Ye Fei waved his hand and refused.
Ye Fei walked all the way to the middle of the two gangs, and then saluted the old man and said, "Hello old man, we are from the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, I heard you say that just now, I think you misunderstood us." ”
When the old man heard Ye Fei say this, he didn't calm down, but became even more resentful, and snorted and said: "You come here again, I sue you for nothing, we won't fall for you, and you, young man, are you also caught by them, don't be afraid, you hurry over now, we will protect you." ”
Originally, Ye Fei was a little angry that the old man didn't listen to his explanation, but when he heard the words of concern for him, he was also moved, so he patiently continued: "Old man, you really misunderstood, we are really a wild wolf mercenary group, don't believe it, this is our badge." Saying that, Ye Fei showed his badge to the old man, and said, "And that is the leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group." As he spoke, he pointed to Lu Shan on the horse.
Lu Shan also walked out of the team, came to the old man and saluted, and said: "Old man, I am Lu Shan, the leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, do you have any misunderstanding? ”
After the old man saw Ye Fei's mercenary group badge, he finally believed it a little, and when he heard Lu Shan say this, he felt a little ** not far from ten, but he still asked suspiciously: "Are you really not that gang of bandits?"
Ye Fei smiled at the old man and said, "Old man, don't worry, we are really not the bandits you said, you can think about it, if we are bandits, will we talk to you for a long time?"
The old man finally believed them when he heard this, and then hurriedly apologized to Ye Fei and them: "I'm sorry, we treat you as a thief, I'm really sorry, the old man is really rude." ”
Ye Fei and Lu Shan waved their hands together and said, "It's not in the way, the old man doesn't have to be like this, but we have a question, I don't know what the old man said about the bandits?"
When the old man heard this, he sighed and said, "It's a long story at this time, this is a disaster for our Straw Hat Village, let's go to the village first, and then let's talk slowly." ”
Lu Shan nodded, and then said to the mercenaries behind: "Okay, it's okay, everyone is off guard, and now enter the village." ”
So the mercenary group walked towards the village with the villagers of Straw Hat Village.
