Chapter 14: The Hero Who Stole the Chickens
"The little one is a subordinate of Lord Conding, who accidentally ran alone in the field a few days ago. β
"Since it's Lord Contin's soldiers, get up. β
The cavalry let go of the hand that pressed him, and the spearman almost fell, the strength of the third order was really extraordinary, he peeked in the corridor and watched the cavalryman's force pressing him, and he knew that if he fought him, he would be defeated in less than three moves.
"We have just received an order from above, and we have deployed heavy troops in 72 villages and 24 small towns near Bai Quanling, and we will make every effort to arrest Bai Quanyu, a wanted criminal, as long as there is a fugitive figure, whether it is right or wrong, we will arrest you immediately, you are so weak, you should rest and go by yourself, you are not needed here." β
"Yes, what the seniors said is very true. β
"This is the fugitive on this wanted map, you can take one back, if you can give us information about the fugitive, we will also give you a reward. β
After receiving a wanted warrant, the gunman made a few detours around the village, and after finding that no one was following, he took advantage of the night to sneak into the horse corridor and meet Baiquanyu.
Bai Quanyu carefully read the information on the wanted notice, his brows tightened, he didn't expect this king to do things so desperately, he not only killed all his subordinates, robbed his property, mines, people, soldiers, but also ordered the whole country to want to arrest him, this is to kill him all, he remembered that when his father was alive, he was more loyal to this king than a dog, a fart of the king, he had to jump to the imperial capital to wipe for him, I really didn't expect this bastard to be so ungrateful, for his selfish desires, even if innocent people die, it doesn't matter at allγ
Water droplets from the porch fell on his forehead, and an icy chill hit him.
"I want to kill the imperial capital now. Bai Quanyu put away the wanted warrant and was very angry. "My lord, you are now a wandering hero, with no identity, no status, no money, so no soldiers in a tavern will accept your recruitment, we need to find a place to settle down, and then try to develop little by little. β
"Without money, without status, without status, will people be willing to follow me?"
The spearman nodded: "Yes, heroes will only follow heroes who are stronger than themselves, and soldiers need money, status, identity, and especially money, without money, there will be no soldiers to follow you, so you don't meet the requirements for recruitment in any aspect now." β
Late at night, the people in the village gradually entered their own houses to rest, Bai Quanyu slept in the porch until midnight, only to hear a rumbling sound in his stomach, so he had to go out helplessly.
The village was so quiet late at night, the streets that had been noisy and lively became empty as people fell asleep, and he walked alone on the stone avenue and breathed in the fresh air.
What he's worried about now is money, this world, no matter what he does, he needs money, he needs money to form an army, and he needs money to live, so he has to find a way to get some money. Bai Quanyu sat down on a bench next to a wooden house, thinking about how to get money, without which his soldiers would have nothing to eat, and he would not be able to recruit new soldiers.
He glanced back at the house with the wooden door locked, couldn't help but sigh, and said to himself, the evil money society can't be changed no matter where it goes. It's just that, it seems that he has to be a thief again! I think that I, a small lord of the White Spring Collar and the heir of the destruction dragon, will be reduced to being a thief, and there is no way to do it, come out and wander.
At this moment, a chick ran out of the house behind him, walked up to his feet, and threw him a look of contempt.
Bai Quanyu's eyes lit up and said, "There is!." The chick looked at him in a daze, not knowing what he said, but at this time he found that his face had changed to a not bad and kind look, it wanted to run, but it was too late, Bai Quanyu's right hand was like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and he grabbed the naughty chick with a 'whoosh'. That's right, his idea was to sneak into the backyard of the house and steal all the chickens raised by the owner of the house and sell them, because the backyard of the house in this village is only surrounded by fences, no door locks, and no walls, so he can easily steal the animals in captivity in the backyard.
After a while, he jumped into the fence in the backyard of the house, with a sack on his back and his face covered, where there were no more than 20 chicks in captivity.
Tiptoeing and throwing them into their sacks one by one, the roosters and hens crowed when the chickens were suddenly snatched away by strangers.
A light lit up in the house, and he quickly learned to bark twice and passed perfunctorily.
After a while, the lights in the house were quickly extinguished, and he successfully threw all 20 chicks, 3 roosters, and 3 hens into the sack.
The night is getting darker, there are only a few old cattle barking in the village, and on the streets, there are fewer and fewer soldiers stationed in the patrolling villages, and many soldiers even hide under the eaves of some houses and fall asleep.
The night breeze was blowing, it was cold, and he was sneaking around the village with the stolen chickens on his back, looking for a store, a grocery store where he could sell the chickens.
At one of the village's pools, there was a grocery store with a flickering fire that had not yet closed, and Bai Quanyu cheekily broke into the grocery store with the chickens he had stolen, and put the sack on the table. The owner of the grocery store didn't know what the man had brought with him, so he took out his magnifying glass and looked at the sack carefully, but after a long time of observation, he couldn't guess what was rolling inside.
With a strange expression, Bai Quanyu pointed to the several peaks that the chicken had risen due to the movement, and said.
"Shopkeeper, come to buy and sell, do you want chicken!"
Bai Quanyu smiled slyly, and the grocery store owner suddenly felt cold, looked at the proprietress on the side, and quickly knelt down and said, "Big brother, this chicken is not called by me, don't hurt me." β
The proprietress looked at the moving sack, and her face turned blue.
"You dare to kidnap the girl behind the back of the old lady?"
The proprietress grabbed the iron rod and jerked it at the boss's head.
"No, no, hostess, you misunderstood. β
"Misunderstanding, you don't know what you are thinking about, get out, get out of me immediately. β
Bai Quanyu didn't say the second half of the sentence stuck in his throat, because the violence of the proprietress really scared him, why don't you just buy a chicken, can you use it like this?
After all, he was a thief, so he quickly picked up the sack and ran out of the grocery store, only to hear a ghostly howl from the grocery store.
