As night approached, a bonfire rose in the middle of the forest, and the air was filled with the faint smell of barbecue. [Ran^Text^Library] []

The five of them, who were supposed to be bandits, sat around the roaring bonfire, staring at the pheasants on the blazing bonfire with wide eyes, saliva rolling in their mouths.

And next to the bonfire, Chen Tianze, who was still sitting on the tree by those few people during the day, carefully controlled the fire, turned his head to look at the little sparrow that was almost coming up, and scolded with a smile: "It's not good yet, it's a fart!"

The little sparrow smiled and shrank back, but his eyes never took off the roast chicken, which had a layer of hot oil on the fire.

In a short afternoon, Chen Tianze briefly got to know a few people here, the oldest is also the leader of this group of people, Lao Mengtou, whose real name is Meng Changzheng, and he is in his early fifties, and he has been a bandit in this mountain forest for more than ten years.

And the youngest and youngest little sparrow's real name was changed to Wang Cheng, the name is very domineering, but it's a pity that his body is too thin, and he talks the most nonsense in the group, and he chatters all day long, so he is called the little sparrow. The little sparrow was picked up by Lao Mengtou from the mountains, and he naturally didn't know where his parents were, and the little sparrow didn't seem to care, so he followed Lao Mengtou like this.

Li Mazi's real name is Li Mazi, and he had a pockmarked face when he was born, so he casually called Li Mazi without a little ink in his stomach, and the remaining two were called Miaoli and Zhao Chao. After seeing that Chen Tianze had no malicious intent, they all looked very enthusiastic.

"Alright. ”

Chen Tianze finally said softly and picked up one of them casually.

After hearing this, several people who were waiting for the opportunity to move rushed up, the little sparrow was the most neat, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he tore off the fattest one, held it in his arms and retreated several steps, and his mouth was gnawed in a hurry, but it was too hot, and he grinned in pain, and he was still reluctant to let go.

There were only two left, and the remaining Li Mazi and the remaining two went up and started to grab them, and there were signs of a big fight. And the old Meng Tou sat on the other side of the bonfire, swallowing his saliva, but he never made a move to grab it.

Seeing that several people were eating with their mouths full of oil, Chen Tianze tore off one of the chicken legs of the pheasant in his hand, handed it to Lao Mengtou, who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "This pheasant tastes good, can you be particular?"

Lao Mengtou unceremoniously took the chicken leg, and after biting it, he said vaguely: "This pheasant is called fruit chicken, it doesn't eat weeds or insects, it only eats fruits from all over the mountains and forests, so the meat is extremely delicious. ”

Chen Tianze shook his head with a smile, chewing slowly, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng, it seems that you have been in this mountain for a long time, and you just have some things to ask." ”

Old Mengtou hurriedly leaned towards Chen Tianze's side, nodded and said: "Chen Gongzi said bluntly that it doesn't matter, if you can help, my old Mengtou must have nothing to say." ”

Chen Tianze was also not polite, and casually handed the remaining pheasants to Lao Mengtou, who was obviously not full, and then took out a worn-out sheepskin map in his arms, spread it on the ground, pointed to one of them, and said: "I originally intended to go to that Xinye County, and I should have arrived according to the map, but for some reason I still didn't arrive after an extra day's journey." ”

The little sparrow sitting in the distance had pointed ears and exclaimed, "You walk slowly!"

Lao Mengtou took the map, glared at the little sparrow angrily, and said angrily: "A fruit chicken can't control your mouth, while playing." ”

"Two of them can be controlled!" said the little sparrow, but the old man ignored him.

After a few glances, the old Meng Tou smiled and said: "Chen Gongzi, I don't understand your map, to tell the truth, our place is already in Xinye County, but the county town is a hundred or ten miles to the west, and Gongzi is obviously a mistake to get to this place." ”

Chen Tianze frowned, this map was taken from a nearby county, but it has been a few years since he looked at the posture, Chen Tianze thought to himself that even if there was an error, it would not be too big, but he never thought that it was a hundred or ten places away, what a pit father!

Chen Tianze restrained his mind for a moment, and then spoke: "Where is the south, why is there a post road here?"

Lao Mengtou was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Son, to the south is Yinzhou, as for the post road here, it was opened up when the imperial court and Yinzhou fought in the early years, and then there were often business travelers passing by, after all, it is still closer, but there are too many bandits and bandits along the way in recent years, and there are gradually fewer business travelers." ”

Speaking of this, Lao Mengtou couldn't help but blush, probably because he was also one of them, and felt embarrassed.

Chen Tianze smiled, pretending not to notice Lao Mengtou's embarrassment, he was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "It's not bad in this way, I'll go directly to Na Yanzhou tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, the old Meng Tou was obviously startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Chen Gongzi must not, you can't go any further." ”

Li Mazi, who was dealing with chicken legs, hurriedly said, "Yes, you can't go any further." ”

Even the little sparrow nodded, and it was quiet for the first time.

Chen Tianze looked puzzled.

Without waiting to speak, the old Meng Tou poured beans into a bamboo tube and said: "Gongzi doesn't know, ten miles further is the territory of Yinzhou, and the people guarding the border between Yinzhou and Sizhou are not the people of the official yamen, but a group of bandits, the number of hundreds of people, and all of them are ruthless, extremely vicious and insidious, and there are some masters among them,"

Seeing that Chen Tianze seemed to be a little indifferent, the old Meng Tou gritted his teeth and said: "Back then, my old Meng Tou also had more than 30 people under his hands, but they were killed by those people one by one, and there were many large and small mountains in this vicinity, and almost all of them were killed by those people. I guess Childe's skills must be good, but as the saying goes, a good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves, and Childe will definitely suffer if he goes further south. ”

Chen Tianze was stunned for a moment, glanced at a few people with gloomy eyes, and knew it in his heart. Indeed, this old Meng Tou has some ability, but now that he is in such a situation, most of them are also made by those people.

"Brother Meng, you said that they are bandits, aren't you afraid that I am the leader of the bandits?" Chen Tianze said with a smile. The eyes are treacherous.

"Not really. Old Meng was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said.

"It doesn't look like it. Li Mazi and the three of them glared at each other, and then laughed.

The little sparrow, who was sitting in the distance, had pointed ears, and when he heard it, he opened his throat and said, "You look like a cook!"

Chen Tianze's head was covered with cold sweat, rubbing and rubbing.
