Chapter 3 Fortune and misfortune are hard to guess
Shicun is located in the southwest of Nanzhou, located in the middle of nowhere, even the huge stone city nearly two hundred miles away from here is just a small city, although there are bandits nearby, but they are nothing more than some of the last goods, the body bones are stronger than ordinary people, relying on a ruthless force, most of the targets are the kind of traders who are the parents of Ye Shaobai, and the businessmen who have a little power have to ponder whether they can eat or not, and they have always been idle to do crimes, and recently according to the people in the city, three strong men have emerged nearby, and in two days, more than 100 bandits have been incorporated in the vicinityγ
Then the three of them entered the city alone, and robbed the rich merchants in the city in broad daylight. Although the garrison of Boulder City has never been on the battlefield at all, but this Wu clan is good at martial arts, not to mention the garrison of these far better than the villagers, and they surrounded a few people with guns and knives.
After that, the soldiers did not mention it as if they had forgotten about it, and allowed this group of strongmen to gather and set up camp on the nearby Mangshi Mountain, and ignored it completely.
At this time, rows of stone houses had been erected on the Mangshi Mountain, and in the largest of them, there were three people sitting around a stone table discussing something.
The man seated in the middle was about forty years old, with a thin build, cold eyes, and a fur coat with a fine leather soft armor inside, which looked like a human race on closer inspection. This person's name is Zhao Tiankui, the eldest of the three, and indeed a child of the human race, originally studied law in a academy in Xizhou, because he coveted the magic weapon of his classmates, he poisoned people's lives, and was chased and killed by the master all the way to Nanzhou.
The man on the left hand side is called Mu Erha, the second oldest of the three, looking to be in his thirties with a generous face, wearing a hairy shoulder, at a glance it is a native of Nanzhou, sitting there like a hill, and his muscles are shaking from time to time like an explosion. Mu Erha recognized Zhao Tiankui as his eldest brother six years ago, and he was the number one thug under him, and the two were embarrassed, and they had really done a lot of evil things over the years.
Compared with the two sitting on the right-hand side, they are completely followers, nodding their heads and smiling faces from time to time, and their eyes are still turning around. What is this person's name, it is estimated that even he has forgotten himself, everyone calls him a land dragon, just because this guy usually does some work of digging doors and stealing holes, building a line and leading the bridge, he joined the gang a year later than the second child, and the evil things done by the two are indispensable to him to inquire about the news, and he only wants to follow the two masters to drink soup, and even the newly recruited group of bandits outside know that this third master is actually a miscellaneous.
Zhao Tiankui was carefully wiping the flying knife in his hand at this time, and from time to time he sighed on it, and said in a tone that was neither yin nor yang: "I said San'er, everything is ready, your news can be accurate for me, if you don't have that baby, let the master work hard with those bitter hunters, don't blame the big brother for turning his face and not recognizing people." β
After hearing this, the land dragon hurriedly shrank his head, and said with a smile: "Don't work hard, don't work hard, don't worry, those old guys in the village were all big soldiers under the second prince in the early years, and when they were young, they were not much stronger than those garrisons in the city. Speaking of this, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Tiankui's unhappy face, and hurriedly changed his head.
"The little brother and his father were one of their soldiers earlier, and my brother guaranteed his life to San'er, Shi Lie fled with this group of defeated soldiers, and the baby was definitely in his hands. The little brother only begged the uncle to get the treasure, so that he could be accepted into a gang to drink soup. β
Zhao Tiankui's face changed after listening to the words behind him, and he said a faint "En", changed a flying knife and continued to rub it, the land dragon didn't know what the uncle meant, and he didn't dare to say anything else, so he had to sit there and laugh all the time.
"I said big brother, you are too careful, just the hunters in that village, you recruit people and inquire about the news, if you want me to say, whether they have treasures or not, I would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go, I will directly smash him with a stick and talk about other things. Mu Er's voice was like thunder, and he hammered the table from time to time between his words, his eyes were full of violence, until Zhao Tiankui glanced at him lightly, he smiled wryly, put his hand back on his lap, and was very afraid of his sworn brother.
Zhao Tiankui put the shiny flying knife on the table, and then put it neatly into the blanket around his waist, tidied it up, and slowly stood up and walked to the back room. just replied: "Do it the day after tomorrow." β
At night, Ye Shaobai lay on his bed and stared blankly at the roof, thinking about his body, imagining that he would one day be able to gallop in the wilderness with Brother Wuxin, but I don't know how long it took before he slowly fell asleep.
As soon as the sky was bright, Ye Shaobai woke up listening to the creaking sound of the wooden door, thinking about why Brother Wuxin was so early today, so he put on his shoes and socks and walked out of the house, just saw Shi Wuxin coming out of the house with his big knife, saying that it was a knife because Ye Shaobai really couldn't think of a weapon similar to it next to it.
This knife is six feet long and three feet wide with the handle, and there is no blade at all, and it is called a blunt knife that is slightly lifted, but in fact it is like an iron door panel with an extra handle, this object is Shi Wuxin happened to encounter a piece of meteorite iron that seemed to fall from the sky on the mountain one year, and his intuition was not ordinary, so he carried it back, and then smashed it with a sledgehammer for a whole year and smashed it into its current shape.
Others look down on him, and he himself is rare and tight, all because this blunt knife is heavy enough and strong enough.
"Brother Wuxin, did you go up the mountain so early?" asked Ye Shaobai rubbing his eyes.
"I don't go to the mountains today, I have a lot of skins before, and our family can't use them, so I went to the city to sell them and exchange them for some herbs I use. β
Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember: "Last time, I heard the little bell of the Refining Body Pavilion say that they may have a channel to exchange the exercises of the human race, so I asked her to exchange them for me, and if I have it this time, I will buy it back for you." Shi Wuxin said as he tied his blunt knife firmly to his back with the tendons of the beast.
"But that immortal magic? Is there really such a book? That can be a book for immortals, so expensive, right?" Ye Shaobai's body was shocked, and he was completely sleepless, he had heard that the human race had a academy, which specialized in teaching people to be immortals, and it was said that people there only needed to read and meditate to fly to the sky, but they didn't want to fall on their heads.
Shi Wuxin smiled and replied, "I'm not expensive." After saying that, he pushed the door and walked outside the house, put the package wrapped in a large amount of fur on his shoulder, and walked straight towards the outside of the village, without looking back, but shouting: "Tell grandpa that I am going to the city, and I will come back tomorrow." β
Ye Shaobai hurriedly followed, and when he saw that Shi Wuxin had already walked out of the distance in a few steps, he had to shout: "I know, be careful on the road." β
Shi Wuxin waved his hand to show that he was heard, and then disappeared in a few steps.
"Hey, this fiery temperament. Old Man Shi Lie didn't know when he also stood behind Ye Shaobai, looked at Shi Wuxin's back and said.
Hearing what Grandpa said, Ye Shaobai hurriedly turned around and said happily: "Grandpa, did you hear, Brother Wuxin said that he was going to buy me the books to be immortals this time, so is my body out of the way?"
The old man saw that Ye Shaobai was so happy, so he also responded with a smile: "I heard it, it must be out of the way, and I can't say that our Shaobai can take grandpa to the sky for two laps in the future." β
"Yes, yes, definitely, grandpa, you're hungry, I'll go and get you a hot breakfast. After speaking, without waiting for the old man to respond, he went to the house to work in three steps and two jumps.
"Alas, this kid is in a hurry. The old man looked at his back and muttered, and then went into the room.
After the grandfather and grandson ate breakfast, Ye Shaobai did the work of carrying water and chopping firewood as always, he was weak, and it seemed that this kind of housework that the girls in the village could do was also extremely tiring for Ye Shaobai, but today somehow, his body seemed to have endless strength, and even his shoulders were not so painful.
