702. Aung San's troubles
Aung San, a native of the town of Dodan, is a gatherer who is best known for collecting all kinds of magical herbs in the forest.
However, recently, the Invercargill Warcraft Forest has been occupied by a large number of Warcraft Beasts, and Aung San does not dare to go deep into the forest to collect herbs, so he has been wandering around the mountains and forests around Dodan Town, trying to find some valuable ornamental plants to bring back to the town and sell to those immigrants.
Most of the immigrants in Dodan came to Bena Province, and they went to Dodan to do business, and they all had a few dollars in their hands, and when they met something they liked, they were also accustomed to paying for it, whether it was useful or not.
Aung San remembers that he had just gotten into a bush to gather a few red pine mushrooms from the roots of a rotting pine tree, and before he could climb out of the bush, he saw a group of slave traders driving a group of natives with their hands and necks tied around their necks through the dense bush and returning from the aboriginal tribe.
These slaves were all young and strong natives of those tribes hidden in the mountains, there were men and women in the crowd, and there was no deliberate distinction, all the natives were connected by an iron cable, their hands were tightly tied by ropes, many of them had some minor injuries on their bodies, and even some of the indigenous women were not covered by their clothes.
Several slave traders with leather whips followed the procession, and when they saw that one of the slaves was walking a little slower, they raised their whips and slammed them on their bodies, which immediately made a hole in the linen clothes, and the beaten slaves shook violently, and they were about to continue walking.
Aung San clenched his fists and slammed them into the rotten leaves of the forest, and he lay on his stomach in the bushes and did not even dare to show his head, the slave traders walked briskly under his nose, and Aung San hid his back basket in the bushes, following the group of slave traders.
He knew that the laws of the Grimm Empire forbade the capture of the natives of the plane, and this group of slave traders did not dare to openly escort these natives into the town of Dodan, and they might have to spend the night in the woods outside the town of Dodan and find some wagons from the carriage shop to transport the natives to the city of Wilkes.
So Aung San felt that he could try to find an opportunity to save these natives from the clutches of the slave traders.
He followed behind the group of slave traders, well hidden.
He watched as the slave traders drove the natives through the pine forest at the foot of the mountain, stopping in a wooded glade near the town of Dodan where they tethered the natives to trees like dogs, and the slave traders patrolled the forest with great vigilance, and some of them were responsible for lighting fires and cooking.
Aung San wanted to send news to the indigenous tribes, but feared that if he delayed, the slave traders would transport the natives away, he hesitated, and then he saw a group of masked robbers rushing out of the dense forest, and surrounded a group of slave traders in the glade, and they fought almost without survival, and after a rain of arrows, the robbers who rushed into the crowd cut down the slave traders one after another, like cutting melons and vegetables.
Aung San didn't expect things to turn around.
He was thinking about running out to thank the bandits, but they thought that there was no one around, and they confirmed that there was no one left, so they took the natives into the woods and did not untie the locks on their bodies.
Just when Aung San was surprised, he saw two robbers walking behind tearing off the face scarves from their faces, which turned out to be members of an adventure party in the town that he was very familiar with, and he wanted to climb out of the bushes, but stopped immediately when he saw this scene.
The robber who walked in front whispered: "Hurry up and follow......"
These people drove the young natives into the dense forest like cattle.
Aung San gritted his teeth, but the thorns in the bushes were so piercing, and the whole person hid in the bushes and accompanied him all the way.
He never imagined that the gang of looting slave traders was actually a very famous adventure group in the town, and there were many very powerful first-class fighters in this adventure group, they often hunted monsters from the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, and almost everyone in the town knew them.
……
In the night, Aung San walked into his yard with his son, who was breathing steadily, and stopped his thoughts.
The three wives and brothers were waiting in the courtyard, and when they saw Aung San enter the courtyard, they came up, and one of Aung San's wives, Yali, was waiting at the door, and when she saw Aung San walk in, she asked him, "How is Randy, has the adult found the person who will save Randy?" ”
Aung San nodded and said in a deep voice, "That lord is a new garrison officer in the town, and he brought me to the commander of this garrison, who has healing skills, and he is the one who rescued Randy. ”
Ali, Randy's mother, took her sleeping son from Aung San's hands, and saw that his face was ruddy, his breathing was steady, and his condition had improved significantly, so she breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Thank the gods for their protection......"
Aung San took the glass from another wife, took a sip of water, and then said to his wife, Yali: "When he wakes up, don't forget to give him more water." ”
Although his wife, Yali, did not understand why Aung San said this, she turned around and nodded, indicating that she had written it down.
Aung San was the eldest of three brothers living in this courtyard, and his parents died in the mountains and forests outside the town during the last animal tide, and their bodies were not even recovered, when Aung San was just 14 years old and had learned some fur gathering techniques with his father.
The two younger brothers in the family are eight years old and six years old.
After the death of his parents, Aung San raised his two younger brothers alone.
Now that the two younger brothers are adults, the three brothers have not separated their families, and under Aung San's control, both younger brothers have married wives, and now Aung San is naturally the head of the family, and he is also the best collector in the town of Doden.
When they saw the eldest brother coming back from outside, the expression on his face was very heavy, and the two brothers knew that the eldest brother was in trouble, and they drove the women back to their respective houses.
The three brothers sat on the roof of the main house, lying side by side on the tiles, looking up at the pre-dawn starry sky.
Usually, some important things are discussed at home.
Aung San put a pair of thick palms behind his head, sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Lord to be a garrison officer, and this matter has become more complicated. ”
"Brother, have you gone to the barracks?" The youngest brother looked at Aung San curiously.
Aung San nodded and said, "I also saw the commander of the new garrison with my own eyes, he saved Randy's life with his own hands, and I took out the silver leaf grass as a thank you gift and presented it to the commander." ”
Latu, the eldest of the three brothers, was the one who liked to use his brain the most, and he frowned and asked puzzledly, "Brother, how did you know that officer, didn't they arrive in town yesterday?" ”
Aung San shook his head and said, "We met him yesterday in a forest north of the town, when he came out of the woods with a hunting bow on his back, and I happened to hide in a big tree nearby, and I saw him shoot a group of members of the expedition party posing as robbers one by one, and then let go of all the tribesmen captured by the adventure group. ”
Latu tapped his head vigorously and asked Aung San, "Brother, didn't that adventuring group have the secret support of the town's trading house?" How did they ransack those slave traders, didn't they know that the person standing behind those slave traders was Mayor Marko? What exactly did you see in the forest yesterday? ”
Aung San briefly recounted what had happened, and when the members of the party had killed all the slave traders in the forest outside the town, the three brothers fell silent.
Aung San continued: "I was like secretly following them, and when I found an opportunity, I rescued the people of that tribe. Night, I didn't find a chance to make a move, and I thought that if I really couldn't do it, I wanted to go to the tribe to ask for help, but I didn't expect that the members of those adventure groups were actually a group of ruthless people. ”
"By noon yesterday, they probably didn't receive any news from the town, so they wanted to leave here in a hurry, and they didn't want to leave with these tribesmen, so they started killing people outside the cave where they were hiding...... Before they could kill all the people of the tribe, the officer came out of the woods, killed them all with a hunting bow, nailed their bodies to trees, and cut off the heads of several people. ”
"Originally, I had been hiding in a tree, but I didn't expect that the officer actually found me, and he was about to shoot me with a hunting bow, but I saw that I couldn't escape, so I took the initiative to slide down from the tree."
"He probably saw that I was not a member of the expedition group, so he asked me if I could speak Bailin Tu, and when he saw me nodding, he asked me to tell the people in the tribe to hide a little farther away, and not to build a village too close to the town of Dodan......"
Hearing Aung San say this, Tula was surprised and said: "This officer is actually different from other imperial immigrants!" ”
"It's those exiled members of the adventure group, someone should have picked them up a long time ago!" Tula said with some resentment: "Not only are these guys bold enough to kill those slave traders, but they usually intercept and kill us townspeople in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, I'm sure that Crofts' death must have something to do with them!" ”
"Mayor Marco must have been mad yesterday, right?" Aung San turned to Latour.
Latu smiled, nodded and said, "The mayor is eager to take all the people in the town out to find those who cut off his wealth." ”
"Now the merchant group is probably confused, will they already know about the killing of all the members of the adventure group? However, they should be able to conclude that the killer is not one of Mayor Marco's men. After saying that, Aung San hit his forehead twice with his fist.
He closed his eyes, and forced himself not to think about these things, but before he could close them, he opened them violently and said to Latour:
"Yes, I didn't expect such a strong garrison to come to the town, tomorrow you work hard, go outside the city to inform those elders in the nearby tribes, this is an extraordinary time, let them stay away from Dodan Town."
"Well, I'll go tomorrow, the beast tide is coming, and they should hide in the depths of the mountains." Latour said.
