Chapter VII Livestock
"The general has an order, rest in place!"
"The general has an order, rest in place!"
“……”
A guard on horseback jogged from the front of the line, shouting the general's orders as he ran.
When everyone heard this, they immediately lay down on the ground, even Wushan was no exception.
It was hot, and everyone was dressed in leather armor and armed with weapons, and they were on the road for three hours in a row, which was a little reluctant for this group of emaciated beggars who had just eaten a full meal.
A moment later, the general who took the lead with a guard, crossed Wushan and the others, and rode towards the large army behind him.
Behind their group of vanguard troops in Wushan, five miles away from here, the convoy of the group of rich students also stopped.
"General, is there an anomaly ahead?"
"No, I'm tired all the way, let's rest for a while!"
"Good!"
The man who spoke to General Mustache was a middle-aged man dressed as a butler with a gloomy temperament, and after the butler asked about the situation, he came to the most luxurious carriage in front of the convoy and whispered through the carriage.
"Young master, there is no abnormality, just a short rest."
"Hmm!"
The young master in the carriage hummed softly, and he couldn't hear any emotions.
However, through the gap in the curtains, you can vaguely see a weak-crowned scholar with a beautiful face, eyes like stars, a square scarf on his head, and a strong spirit and a delicate appearance.
After a moment of silence, the weak-crowned scholar in the carriage asked tentatively.
"Steward Luo, those guards who came with the family really managed to reach Qinghe County?"
"Back to the young master, the old slave is sure! The guards who came with them were all brave and good at fighting, and everyone was a good hand at refining the skin mirror of the second furnace of qi and blood. ”
Along the way, the young master of his family went out for the first time, and he asked this question three times when he was suspicious by nature, and Steward Luo also answered it three times.
But this time, after thinking for a while, Steward Luo continued.
"Young master, don't worry, if something really happens, the first thing to happen is the group of untouchables in front who want money and don't want their lives."
"Really?"
Facing his young master's questioning, Steward Luo moved closer to the carriage and bowed down to continue.
"Young master, among the untouchables in front of you, there are those who are weak and sickly, and there are also those who are vigorous in blood and blood. If there are wild beasts, the first to suffer must be the weak and sick. ”
"Oh? What about the vigorous ones? ”
The young master in the carriage heard Steward Luo's explanation, and gradually became interested.
"Hey...... If you encounter demons and ghosts, vigorous qi and blood are the best blood food and the best target. ”
After saying this, Steward Luo laughed gloomily.
In the early years, Steward Luo had accompanied his Master Luo to Qinghe County several times, and he was very experienced when it came to these.
The reason why they did not mention their own convoy was because the carriage of the convoy had been blessed with culture in the early years, which was not only strong and wearable, but also able to hide the atmosphere.
In addition, the guards of the convoy are all strong guards of the major official eunuchs and wealthy gentry in Qingyang County, and it is not easy to mess with when the blood gathers together.
In such a comparison, whether it is a beast or a demon, they will choose to attack the cannon fodder in front of them.
Whether it is a human being, a ghost or a beast, it is natural to pinch soft persimmons.
Wu Shan and the others, who were acting as both bait and cannon fodder in front, were unaware of this.
Or rather, numbness.
Because those who signed up for this temporary government service were unable to survive for various reasons, or were desperate.
The four people who were already familiar with Xiong Daring, Xiong Erdan, Duan Yiming, and Wushan were sitting back to back at the moment, one watching one direction, and the eyes of the four of them flashed with cautious light.
The idea of sitting back to back together was boldly proposed by Xiong.
Xiong Daring and Xiong Erdan go into the mountains to hunt all the year round, the mountains are high and the forests are deep, and the two brothers are back to back every time they enter the forest, and this method has saved them many times.
This time, Xiong Daring and Xiong Erbile didn't want to be an exception.
Wushan and Duan Yiming are both smart people, and they soon knew the benefits of this method, so the four of them hit it off.
Leaning on Xiong Erbile, Wushan can feel the wide waist and thick back of Xiong Erbile, which is very strong and powerful.
Wu Shan looked at the mountain road in front of him with no end in sight, put his back on Xiong Er's gall, and asked lazily.
"I said Xiong Da, Xiong Er, isn't it good for you to hunt in the mountains and live a good life? Do you have to come here to give away someone's head? ”
"My brother said that you can't marry a daughter-in-law in the mountains, and if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you have to go to the city."
Wu Shan was silent, and he was also shocked.
It turned out that the stupid big man in his eyes had the same dream as himself, and he wanted to marry a daughter-in-law to live.
"What about your daughter-in-law?"
"I didn't like it! My brother said again, Qingyang County is too small, go to a bigger city to see. ”
Wu Shan was silent again, and was once again stunned.
Oh my! Everyone dares to say 'I don't fancy it', Wushan is twenty out of twenty, and there is no matchmaker in the family.
Wushan was hit by Xiong Er's words and fell into depression.
"Brother Wu, can I ask you for something?"
"Say!"
It's unbelievable that Xiong Da and Xiong Er are twins, and they are one year younger than Wushan, but they look like they are already middle-aged uncles.
"My name is Xiong Erguts, my brother's name is Xiong Daring, can Brother Wu not call me Xiong Er."
"No! Xiong Er, let me tell you, Xiong Da and Xiong Er sound bolder than Xiong and Xiong Er's guts have cards. ”
"Brother Wu, what is a card?"
"Uh...... Having a card is more majestic! ”
After Wushan said this, Xiong Da and Xiong Er were silent, and they no longer resented Wushan calling them Xiong Da and Xiong Er.
Majestic, these four words are full of temptation for Xiong Da and Xiong Er.
Soon, two guards arrived from the rear army, and the guards were all holding hemp bags on their horses, and when they approached the ranks, the guards threw down the sacks and turned away.
"You divide these dry cakes!"
Rumble!
Looking at the guards in the distance, this group of cannon fodder was instantly disturbed by two large bags of dry cakes, and everyone was in a mess, scrambling to grab the dry cakes.
"Brother Wu, here you go!"
Xiong Er handed Wushan three large dry cakes, holding two in his hand and two in his mouth.
Xiong Da next to him also handed scholar Duan Yiming a piece of dry cake, and the latter kept bowing and saluting.
As the second realm of qi and blood, Xiong Da Xiong Er has an advantage in this group of cannon fodder, and it is easy to grab a few pieces of cake.
Of course, Xiong Da Xiong Er was the first group of people to react under Wushan's reminder, so Xiong Er was very grateful to Wushan and helped Wushan grab two pieces.
As for Wushan, looking at the distant figure of the guards, he fell into deep thought.
When I was in the county government, under the supervision of the officials, everyone could still line up one by one to take turns to get food.
But now, the guard's behavior is completely to see Wushan and the others as a herd of livestock.
Two large bags of dry biscuits are not too few for a hundred or so people.
Moreover, among this group of people, there are several people like Wushan, Xiong Da, and Xiong Er who are in the second realm of qi and blood, and these people have a few dry cakes in their hands, and they almost occupy half of the dry food.
