Chapter 69: Fifth Brother

Li Ji looked up at the little lady on the back of the mule, the arrow was shot at the third child's feet, it was her subordinates who showed mercy, and swept towards the tight bow and crossbow, ten years of war, in addition to food, the most valuable thing is not swords, guns and arrows.

Five men, up and down, not to mention knives and guns, not even a decent dagger, fled all the way east, all by robbery barely survived, if you can't grab the money today, you will faint from hunger on this road.

Mai Xiaoji pulled the reins of the mule with one hand and raised his knife in the other hand in front of the mule, bypassing a few men and going home directly.

When the three men saw that the prey was about to escape, they signaled to the boss, the fifth brother, to find a way.

Li Ji not only didn't think of a way, but even gave way to the side of the road.

"Fifth brother-" The strong old man who was almost shot through his foot yelled anxiously, "There are only two of them, what can they do if they have knives and arrows!" As he spoke, he got up and threw himself at the moving mule.

was pinched by Li Ji.

"Fifth brother......" Zhuang Lao San screamed heartbreakingly.

How about two people? They are full of food and drink, they have sharp weapons in their hands, and they are not opponents at all.

The five watched as the young man pulled the mule and left.

"Fifth brother ......" Zhuang Lao San cried prostrately.

After walking dozens of steps, Ji Rongjin put away his bow and arrows.

Mai Xiaoji kept his head back, preventing them from sneaking up, and on the other hand, he was a little sympathetic: "Jin Niang, you see that their clothes are about to break." ”

How could Ji Rongjin not see it, his eyes fell on the bamboo basket carried on the back of the mule, after a little thought, he bent down, took out a bag of things from it, and took out five strings of copper plates from the cloth bag, turned around and threw it back.

"There is everything on the mountain, and you can't starve to death if you get anything and sell it in the county seat."

She can only help here, whether she can go to the mountains to find mountain goods to support herself, that is the matter of the five of them, Ji Rongjin finished shouting, and returned to Dongsheng Town with Mai Xiaoji leisurely.

The little lady shouted in a word, Zhuang San, stopped roaring and crying, the four people were also stunned, and the fourth child couldn't help but run to the front to pick up the oil paper bag on the road, as well as five strings of copper coins.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother, you read five hundred texts." Stuffing the money into Li Ji's hand, he opened the oil-wrapped paper, and the aroma of meat came to his nose.

Five or six white and chubby buns were presented in front of a few people's eyes, oh my God! It's white flour, and a few people were stunned!

In the distance, the mules and people walked more and more, and gradually disappeared from his sight.

Bowing his head, Li Ji looked at the meat bun that the fourth child was holding in both hands, and reached out to take one, "Let's go, follow." ”

The eldest also reached out to take a bun, but he was reluctant to eat it, and when he heard the words of the fifth brother, he couldn't help but persuade: "Fifth brother, everyone gives us food, and you still go to rob people!" ”

Li Ji's footsteps are getting faster and faster, "Who said to rob." ”

"Then you are ......," the second asked puzzled.

Li Ji didn't reply to him, but said, "Boss, second, you two pick up the third and keep up." ”

...... "What is this for?" If you can't rob others, do you still want to slander others?

The fourth brother with the bun in his hand didn't know what the fifth brother meant, so he subconsciously followed him, took two steps and found that something was wrong, and hurriedly distributed the bun in his hand to everyone.

The three people who didn't move, seeing that the two in front of them were walking faster and faster, they didn't care why they were doing this, so they hurriedly lifted the third child to follow.

It wasn't until seven or eight o'clock in the evening that Ji Rongjin and Mai Xiaoji returned to Dongsheng Town, and when they came back, Cuifen, who was cooking, was not there, they warmed the steamed buns they brought back from the county seat, and after eating, they washed up and went to bed to rest.

On the second day, Cuifen knew that the owner was back, so she hurried over to cook breakfast, but she didn't expect five adult men sitting at the gate of the courtyard, and she was startled.

Since five years ago, the war in the west, an army came to rob Zhuang Ding, Dongsheng Town has lost a lot of men, and there are not many adult men in the past, Meng Buding saw such a man, and hurriedly and carefully went around from the back door to Ji Rongjin's room, "Jin Niang...... Jin Niang ......"

Ji Rongjin slept soundly and was woken up by her, "Sister Fen, what's wrong?" ”

Cui Fen was older than her, in her early twenties, and in modern times, she was in the best years, but in ancient times, she was already an old girl and no one wanted her.

"A lump of men at the gate of the courtyard."

"One...... What...... "Tuo, she heard it right."

"A man, weird and scary." Tryffin walked to the window and pushed open a crack to look out, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything because of the wall.

The men in Dongsheng Town are old and small, and there are no adult men, but there is a lump of ......

Wait, Ji Rongjin seemed to think of something, "God, it can't be those guys." She hurriedly went down to the ground to comb her hair and wash her face.

"Jin Niang, do you know them?" Cui Fen hurriedly came over to get a handkerchief and clothes and handed them to her.

After a while, Ji Rongjin packed up and walked out of the door, got down the corridor, walked through the path, and when he arrived at the door, his eyes swept away, but it was not those guys.

Li Ji heard the sound of footsteps, got up from the wall, walked to Ji Rongjin, bent down and made a big salute, "Girl-"

Ji Rongjin crossed his arms and looked at him coldly, "What do you mean?" ”

Li Ji straightened up, looked at her, calmly, "Homeless, I don't know what else to do except rob the house, if the girl doesn't dislike it, I am willing to work hard for the girl." ”

Productivity is low, labor is indeed a scarce resource, especially in Dongsheng Town, which has been arrested, the mountains are full of mountain goods, and they are really important.

Mai Xiaoji was sleeping soundly, he heard movement outside, and he also went outside the courtyard, just heard Li Ji's words, he didn't say anything, looked at Jin Niang, and took the idea, he has always been too lazy to use his brain, anyway, Jin Niang will get everything right, and he doesn't need to worry about it.

"You can take it."

She actually agreed! Except for Li Ji, the other four people are all happy, they can finally eat?

Li Ji smiled, "Thank you, girl, is there anything we need to do now?" "To sell oneself to others is to have the consciousness of selling oneself to others.

Ji Rongjin said lightly: "First, I used the money I gave you yesterday to exchange for this dirty clothes; secondly, go to the mountains to gather wood, and build a room at the west end of the courtyard, where you will live in the future; Third, after the house is built, I will go hunting with Brother Mai, and after that, when these three things are done, I will have my own explanation. ”

"It's a girl."

"My surname is Ji."

"Thank you, Miss Ji."

Ji Rongjin turned around: "Sister Fen, they don't know where to buy clothes, you lead them." ”

"Oh." Cui Fen was just about to leave, "I haven't made you breakfast yet!" ”

"It's okay, let's go."

"Yes, Jin Niang."

An hour later, the five of them changed their clothes and shaved their beards, and finally changed from being called Huazi to normal people, looking much cleaner and more pleasing to the eye.

The five men are of different ages, the oldest is in his thirties, and the youngest is the young man who talked to Ji Rongjin, about twenty, slender and handsome, with a graceful face between his eyebrows and eyes, like a child of everyone.

Ji Rongjin found that he was the youngest, but the four older men were all called the youngest 'fifth brother', which was very interesting.
