Chapter 372: Everything is Difficult at the Beginning
On the rugged mountain road, Yang Zheng glanced at Hashan and the others in front of him, and whispered: "How do you think that when you go to this place where birds don't, shouldn't we go to find Ji Yexuan earlier." ”
Wu Yan sighed and pointed behind him, "There is such a big difference between the bodies of a few of us and the shepherd, walking in Kuntianzhou is like three bright torches, we have to find a hidden place and familiarize ourselves with the environment."
Moreover, it is not far from Hengmen Port, and it will be more convenient to go to sea from this place in the future. ”
Yang Zheng looked around, his eyes were barren and withered, and he didn't see people, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a poor mountain and a bad water. I couldn't help but sigh, everything was difficult at the beginning, but I didn't expect that the first step in Kuntianzhou would start from this barren mountain.
As the sun waned, wisps of cooking smoke gradually appeared on the mountainside in front of them, curling and rising. The pale blue smoke is full of the most ordinary human atmosphere, which adds warmth and fragrance to this desolate mountain.
Ha Shan stopped with a hesitant face, and after thinking for a long time, he said with difficulty: "My lord, the village is full of good people, since we invite the adults here, we will never have the heart to tell the truth, and please pity the ignorance of the people, don't hurt others." ”
Wu Genzheng looked at this small village hanging in the middle of the mountain with interest, and if he wanted to reach the village, he had to follow a sheep intestine path and circle up. "Oh, as long as you keep your word, you can spare their lives." Wu Gen said lightly, these villagers are just ordinary people, just like those at the bottom in the countryside of Zhao Kingdom, who run around every day to feed themselves.
But if you want to say that these people are good people, that's not necessarily true. may be honest and simple on weekdays, but there is a good saying that poverty is the root of all evil. These people who are struggling to make ends meet, once they encounter any benefits, the evil they can do is also shocking.
This is like a group of people who have fallen into the water, as long as there is a life-saving straw, in order to survive, they are not even afraid to press others into the water, even if they are helpless, they have to drag the person holding the straw into the water.
Walk along the mountain road to the village, which is not big, and many families live in the mountains, and there are only more than 30 families in total.
Soon someone walked out, and when they saw Wu Yan and others, they were all a little surprised, and a few people turned around and took the rope out.
Hasan was so frightened that he hurried to stop it, for fear of angering the three killing gods and bringing ruin to the village.
An old man came out of the house on crutches and called Hashan to his side with a puzzled face. Wu Jian found that the old man's house was the only one in the village who had built three stone houses, and it seemed that his status should not be low.
Sure enough, after whispering a few words with Hashan, the old man walked in front of Wu Gan, thinking about arching his hand, but just raised it to his chest and put it down, "Terran, the village is not rich in products, and there is no room for a few here, please leave." ”
Hashan was stunned when he heard this, this is different from what he had just discussed, his face was anxious, and he was about to step forward to speak, but he was stopped by the old man raising his hand.
"I am the king of the village, although the three of them have some skills, but when they get to the village, their fists are no match for the four hands, and we don't want to kill more, you go, this village is not welcome." The old man's face remained unchanged, but his tone was much heavier.
The villagers who heard the movement surrounded them with all kinds of weapons, and some even carried wooden shovels that were cooking, staring at Wu and the three of them with unkind eyes.
Looking at the fierce crowd around him, Wu Yan couldn't help but laugh in his heart, could it be that he had to be a thief today.
After looking around with his hands behind his back, Wu Gen sneered and looked at Hashan, "This is different from our original agreement, originally agreed, we will no longer embarrass you when we enter the village." Do we have to cut off two heads before you can accept us. ”
"A lowly thing like a dog dares to bark here. Li Jun, I can't talk to these tailless sheep, wait to take them down and beat them, and then sell them to the leaders outside. A young man took the lead and couldn't hold back, jumped to the old man's side, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and looked very vicious.
The old man glanced at the young man and took a step back, his meaning self-evident.
The young man moved his wrist and walked towards Wu Yan with a cruel smile. Among the three, this kid has a handsome face, and he looks really unhappy.
Wu Yan pulled Zhuo Ke, who was hiding a dagger in his sleeve and was eager to try. These days, Wu Gen will teach him boxing and knife techniques when he has nothing to do, and more importantly, teach him some fighting skills, to put it bluntly, some insidious means.
These methods are difficult to achieve, but they are extremely easy to use for opponents in the lower realm. There is no high or low skill, and the one who can win the opponent is a good means. Coupled with Yang Zheng's dark temperament, under the influence of the two, Zhuo Ke, a loyal teenager, gradually has a tendency to grow crookedly.
"Dog ......" The young man was just about to speak, when the black shadow flickered in front of him, Wu Yan was already in front of him, stretched out his legs and swept away, and the young man suddenly flew up and fell into the mud.
"You ......" got up and was about to speak, when the young man felt another sharp pain, and his body flew out again.
In this way, more than a dozen times in a row, as long as the young man dared to stand up, he would immediately be swept down by Wu Gan. Every time the dull sound of the flesh and the solid stone collided, the hearts of the villagers present would be tightened.
It's not that no one thought of stepping forward to save the young man, but they were all stopped by Yang Zheng and Zhuo Ke.
The old man's face finally panicked, and he regretted that he should not have listened to Hashan's words, these people were not only high-minded, but also ruthless, and the village was in danger. Thinking of this, the old man pleaded loudly: "Please stop it, we are gone, and if we continue to fight, we will die." ”
Wu Yan squinted at the old man and squatted beside the young man, "Can you take it?" ”
The young man also had some backbone, wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Wu Yan viciously, "Tailless sheep, if you want grandpa to be soft, go dream." ”
Wu Yan added a little strength, and flew out with one foot, and the young man hit the mountain rock on one side, his body embedded in it, and his head hung down softly.
He walked up to him with his hands behind his back and nodded, "Yes, it's a man, but I'm a little curious, after your shepherd's tail goes, it can grow again." ”
The young man's head was raised suddenly, his face full of horror, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Keeping saying tailless sheep, it seems that you have long longed for it, and I will fulfill your wish today." As he spoke, he grabbed the other man by the neck and dragged him out of the rock.
The young man's body hung in the air, struggling wildly, constantly kicking Wu Gen with his feet, and cursing with foul words in his mouth.
Wu Gan's hand tightened, and the young man couldn't get up in one breath, and his body spasmed, swaying back and forth like a dead fish.
Wu Yan pulled out the broken knife and was about to cut off at its tail.
"Don't." The old man in the distance exclaimed, and quickly knelt on the ground, "The heroes are merciful, don't break the tail of the harbour leopard, if you lose the tail, you can't even marry your daughter-in-law." ”
Wu Yan glanced at the young man, the other party was still unconvinced, sneered, and raised the knife in his hand high, and the cold light flashed.
"I'm convinced." The young man screamed, like a deflated ball, and said with a painful face: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have brushed the tiger's beard, please spare me once." ”
Wu Yan took the knife off its tail, and there was a white mark on it, but it was not even broken.
Throwing the young man on the ground, Wu Yan spread his hands lightly, "You see, it's very simple to be soft. With a low head, what pride, what character, what courage, can be thrown away, even if others laugh and slander, but life is stayed, this is the most important thing. Are you right? As he spoke, he squatted in front of the young man and patted his face gently.
The young man's head was buried deeply, and he didn't say a word, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
Wu Yan walked up to Li Jun and looked down at the other party, "We will stay here, remember your promise." ”
"The villain understands that he will never leak the whereabouts of several adults." The old man bowed his head again and again.
"What's your name?"
"The villain's name is Hada."
"Hey, the name is quite big, we used your house."
The village is located halfway up the mountain, so most of the villagers live in caves that have been carved out, and only a few people of higher status can build houses outside the caves.
The old man's house can be said to be the most spacious in the village, but at this time, he was forcibly requisitioned by Wu Gen to live, and it happened to be one room for three people.
The turmoil passed quickly, and the people in the village resumed their daily lives, but their eyes were still not very friendly when they looked at Wu Gan and the others.
Wu Gen asked Yang Zheng to clean up the house, and he took the village as the center and made a big circle to inspect the surrounding terrain. Standing on the top of a steep mountain, the evening breeze blows, and the clothes are blowing.
I have to say that this village really chose a good place, not only the location is hidden, but also easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are large and small caves in the village to store materials, which is really a good place to set up a village.
Feel the water vapor drifting in the distance, this place should not be far from Hengmen Port, but you can make a big deal to operate, as a transit point in and out of the sea.
Having made up his mind, Wu Gen turned over and jumped down and returned to the village.
In the evening, the villagers brought food, but it was only meat porridge boiled with wild vegetables, and there were hardly a few grains of rice in sight.
Yang Zheng tried the meat porridge and nodded, "It's not poisonous." "Take the lead in serving a bowl to Zhuo Ke.
The three of them sat on the hard stone bench, sucking the black porridge in their mouths, and Yang Zheng suddenly spoke, "Wu Gan, I see that you went to the surrounding area to inspect the terrain, why, do you have plans to gain a foothold here for a long time?" ”
Wu Yan put down the bowl in his hand and nodded, "The cunning rabbit still has three caves, we have just arrived in Kuntianzhou, and we are surrounded by enemies, and we urgently need some hidden places to hide." Although the environment here is harsh, the location is very good, you might as well use it as a stronghold, and then slowly map it. ”
"Then what are you going to do with these people, since you want to be a stronghold, you must have reliable people to guard it." After thinking about it, Yang Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Or simply don't let anyone guard it, so that no one will leak secrets." ”
"Let's keep it for now, we need someone to help us do things." Wu Yan put his hands behind his head and leaned against the wall, "These people, if they want to really be used by me, it is nothing more than the word Wayne."
Fight first, if you don't accept it, you can beat it over and over again, and if necessary, you can also kill chickens and monkeys. When they are completely scared and have no other thoughts, they can find ways to help them improve their lives. Once you have tasted the sweetness, you will never want to go back to your old life. ”
Yang Zheng nodded thoughtfully, "It's right to pay equal attention to grace and power, but this power is good to say, where does this grace come from, is it possible that we have to help them hunt." ”
Wu Gen Huo Ran got up, his eyes smiling, "It's okay to hunt, can you also rob, I'm familiar with this." After a few days, a young man from every household will go out with me. In this way, everyone will join the family, and no one will go to the informant. When there is a harvest and you taste the sweetness, don't worry, even if you don't let them go, you will go secretly. ”
Yang Zheng was speechless for a while, he was really inferior to Wu Jian in this regard.
After the three of them finished deliberating, they asked the villagers to remove their rice bowls. As the night wore on, Zouk had already fallen asleep. Wu Gen and Yang Zheng quietly walked out of their own house together.
The two glanced at each other, but they both smiled, Wu Yan looked in the direction of the cave, and said in a low voice: "I am in charge of the outside of the village, you will watch from the village, and take care of Zhuo Ke by the way." ”
"Okay." Yang Zheng was not verbose, turned around and went back to the house.
Wu Gan's body twisted, and the person had already reached the cliff next to the village, and soon disappeared into the night.
