Yi Xiaodao was walking on an unknown country road with his hands behind his back, and saw an old man not far away, wrapped in a torn cotton jacket, sitting in front of his house basking in the sun, so he stepped forward to talk.

"Uncle, where is this?"

The old man looked up at Yi Xiaodao and asked aloud, "Huh?" You're from a foreign country too? Ouch, I fled at a young age and suffered a lot... Hey, you don't look like you're on the run, why are you still fat? It's not like you haven't eaten! As soon as the old man sighed, he found the abnormality, pointed to Yi Xiaodao's cheek and said.

Yi Xiaodao touched his cheek, the food in the army was good, and he did get fat this time. Yi Xiaodao coughed dryly twice and said, "I'm hungry and swollen..."

"Huh? Can you still be hungry and swollen? It's a weird thing... Ah, this is Lincheng, and it used to be a good place, but unfortunately it can't be now. The old man shook his head and sighed.

"Lincheng, how far is it to go to Jicheng? How do you get there? Yi Xiaodao asked the most concerned question.

The old man slapped his thigh: "Jeseong? How do I know! Old man, I've never traveled twenty miles in my life, so I don't know how far Jeseong is..."

Yi Xiaodao didn't ask for any useful information, so he had no choice but to leave, and was about to leave when he was stopped by the old man: "Hey, young man, where are you going?" ”

Yi Xiaodao turned his head and said, "Naturally, I went to Jicheng, what?" ”

"Don't go that way, don't go that way, there's a ringing horse over there!" The old man hurriedly shouted to Yi Xiaodao, stood up tremblingly, and chased after him from behind.

"Hibiki horses? What ringing horses? Is there a herd of horses over there? Yi Xiaodao was puzzled.

The old man hurriedly said, "Oh, what kind of horses? Hibiki horses are bandits! You can't go there. ”

"There are bandits? Then report to the police quickly! ”

"Reporter? What officer? The county magistrate has been cut down, where to report to the official? I don't think you're a local either, so hurry up and go wherever you want. No matter how hard the family is, you can survive..."

Yi Xiaodao heard that the county master was cut, and hurriedly asked "scared": "Old man, tell me what the hell is going on, and I should be careful." ”

The old man pulled Yi Xiaodao, looked left and right, and dragged Yi Xiaodao back to his house, and the two sat down. The old man said, "This is a terrible sound, and it has been going on for many months. It is said that when it was first accomplished, he went to the county government and cut down the county magistrate. By the time the officers and soldiers of Ningcheng arrived, the group of ringing horses had already fled into the mountains. In that direction, from time to time I would go down the mountain to loot, and it was amazing! ”

"Then keep letting them do evil? The lord of Jicheng County was cut down, and the officers and soldiers of Ningcheng didn't arrest them? ”

"Catch? What to catch? Who would dare to catch something terrible in a fight? Ningcheng's soldiers searched Lincheng and forced people to... Hanging and jumping into the river is very much! Later, I also cut off the heads of some young men who reasoned with them and brought them back to ask for credit! The little old man's voice was lowered.

Yi Xiaodao stood up with a "rub": "There is such a thing!" No one cares! ”

"Alas, the king of Donglu has been cut down, who cares now? It's a day," the old man said with a sigh.

Yi Xiaodao looked at the old man's sighing appearance, and asked in his heart, "Uncle, this Donglu is so dangerous, why don't you leave?" ”

"This is my home, where can I go? The danger here is for others, but it's okay for my old man. What is this old bone afraid of? That's the case at home, they can take whatever they want, and I don't fight with them. Not to mention, the last time the horse head came, he saw that my old man was pitiful, and gave me a bag of noodles! The old man said mysteriously.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? It's noon, come, old man, I'll steam some buns for you, eat and leave! The old man said he was going to the kitchen.

Yi Xiaodao took out a small piece of broken silver from his arms, looked at the room, it was really a family with four walls, and there was not even a table to put things, so he put the broken silver on the small bench where the old man was sitting at the door, left the old man's house, and walked towards the way he came.

Yi Xiaodao was instigated, and he had to go back to join the army to be safe.

After a while, the old man came out of the kitchen with a broken bowl and two steamed buns, and disappeared from Yi Xiaodao, but saw a small piece of broken silver on the small bench, and hurriedly patted his thigh: "There are still rich people... Oops, oh no, isn't this stupid boy really going over there! I have to go and see, don't be killed by this good family's child..."As he spoke, he took the steamed bun back to the kitchen, put the silver in his arms, and went out to chase in the opposite direction of Yi Xiaodao.

The old man hadn't walked far before he heard the hooves of horses, and a group of big men wrapped in coats shouted at each other: "Yo, isn't this Old Man Yang?" Bite? Enough to walk here? What does white flour taste like? A big stout man saw the old man and shouted.

The old man shuddered and let go to the side of the road: "Still... Fortunately, there are good men... Thank you, King, for me..."

The strong man's name is Chen Youcai, and he is an authentic farmer, and he joined the ringing horse when he entered the city to catch the market. He was in a good mood today, and this time it was his turn to lead the team down the mountain to fish for oil and water, so he chatted with Old Man Yang: "Hey, it's a little thing." My eldest brother just can't see the poor, and if he sees one, he has to help one! I can't see the rich, I see one and kill the other! ”

When the old man heard Chen Youcai's words, he couldn't help but feel weak, and touched the broken silver in his arms: "That stupid boy seems to be rich..."

"Uh... Hero, where are you going? What did you gain on the way? The old man saw that the strong man was in a good mood, and he also chattered a few words.

"Hey, there's no one around the city anymore. Let the eldest brother go to the city and the eldest brother will not do it, and he will suffer here..."Speaking of the current situation, Chen Youcai still had some complaints in his heart: "Hey, old man Yang, what is your padded jacket torn?" Then the cotton is still worn after it has flown up! Two dogs, give him a padded jacket. ”

The young man, called "Ergou", jumped off his horse and handed the padded jacket to the old man.

Chen Youcai saw that Old Man Yang was trembling, and he didn't take the padded jacket for a long time, and said: "People are old and their hands and feet are not good, you put them on him, don't freeze." ”

Ergou grabbed Old Man Yang's torn cotton jacket, tore it off, and was about to change the cotton jacket in his hand to him.

"Ding"

Before Old Man Yang could cover the silver, the silver rolled out of the torn cotton jacket and fell to the ground.

Old man Yang was about to squat down to pick it up, but the second dog was quick to pick it up, grabbed it in front of Old Man Yang, and looked at it carefully: "What is this?" Silver! You can still have silver! ”

Chen Youcai was observing everywhere, and when he heard that "Yinzi" was taken aback, he jumped off the horse, came to the second dog, and looked carefully.

"Really, Old Man Yang, I didn't expect you to have such a big piece of silver hidden in your house? That's a lot to say! Chen Youcai looked at Old Man Yang with a somewhat unkind gaze.

Old man Yang trembled, and hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not mine... It's not mine..."

"Who fell from you, who didn't yours? The special silver envoy also wants our eldest brother's white face, the old thing is tired of life, right? Ergou viciously retorted Old Man Yang's words.

"It's really not mine..."Old man Yang took two steps back.

Chen Youcai stopped Ergou, who was about to have a seizure, and stepped forward to help Old Man Yang's padded jacket fold: "Old Yang, I know that this silver is not yours, can we still not know what is going on in your family?" I know what you're thinking, it's just that I'm afraid we're going to hurt someone. ”

Old man Yang didn't say a word, he was just afraid.

"People live in the world just for a bite of food, and our white noodles are not falling from the sky, we promise to only seek wealth and not kill people. In fact, this is also for the good of others, now it is a mess everywhere, if it is robbed by others first, maybe it will be gone..."Chen Youcai continued to persuade.

Old man Yang pondered for a while, and felt that what Chen Youcai said was not without some truth. Then he said, "Actually, I don't know who that young man is or where he came from... He just came to me to ask for directions, and asked how to get to Jeseong, but I didn't know, so I thought about keeping him for a bun... When I went into the kitchen and came out, the others were gone, so I left this piece..."

"And where are the others now?" Chen Youcai asked with a smile.

Old man Yang saw that Chen Youcai was smiling kindly, and he also laughed, and the wrinkles on the old man's face were relaxed: "I don't know, I don't think he came this way, so I came here..."

"Poof"

Chen Youcai covered Old Man Yang's mouth and stabbed him in the chest: "I don't know what you're laughing at, you should have lived enough at this age!" ”

Ergou was so frightened that he almost didn't hold the silver in his hand: "Brother Cai, the eldest brother gave him a bag of white noodles last time... Why did you kill it? Just scold..."

Chen Youcai pulled out a sharp knife and kicked Old Man Yang to the ground: "Brothers, look at it, rich people are like this." We give him white face, and we don't think it's good for us, and when others give silver, they help outsiders! Damn it! ”

Old man Yang was kicked to the ground, his chest was bleeding constantly, he turned around and wanted to crawl away, he struggled for a long time, and his body didn't turn over... He's dead.

"Brothers, go! Follow me to the fat sheep! Chen Youcai turned over and got on the horse, and his movements were extremely skillful, "Keep up!" ”

A group of bandits groped in the direction of Yi Xiaodao.

Yi Xiaodao's team only left the Nanhuai Realm today and entered the Donglu Realm. After entering Donglu, neither of them dared to take risks, so they set up camp here, and Yi Xiaodao went out alone to find out the news. Wei Youming originally planned to send a few people to follow Yi Xiaodao, but Yi Xiaodao did not agree, he had his own way of doing things, and in the end Wei Youming could only give up.

Now that Yi Xiaodao is back, the sergeant reported to Wei Youming, Wei Youming hurriedly came to the handsome tent set up for Yi Xiaodao, lifted the curtain and entered the tent, and asked, "Master Yi, how is the situation?" ”

"After walking all the way, I didn't meet anyone, and an old man said that there were ringing horses here, so that the brothers should pay attention. It seems that Shandong is really bad... This is still the junction of Nanhuai and Donglu, I don't know what the situation is in Jicheng, I really don't know what to do. Yi Xiaodao said truthfully.

Compared with the government, Yi Xiaodao wanted to know more about Wan Yanzong's news, but looking at Old Man Yang's appearance, it is estimated that he didn't even know whether Wan Yanzong ate or used it, so Yi Xiaodao didn't bother to ask.

Wei Youming saw that Yi Xiaodao had no idea, and he didn't urge, Master Yi always had more ways than him, and the Nanhuai conscription made him quite surprised. I thought that the recruits recruited from Yicheng and Jiacheng would need time to be trained, but who knew that they could run and fight one by one, and they were not inferior to the Yulin Army in the capital.

"Rest and rest, don't rush for a while." Yi Xiaodao showed a relaxed smile to Wei Youming.
