Chapter 222: Mountain Bandits
"It's a pity that there is nothing related to history in the book, otherwise it would be certain if this is a certain dynasty in ancient times." Chen Jiu had some regrets.
If he can determine the current events, he will definitely be able to operate better.
However, the information gathered in front of him is enough for him to use at the moment.
This world is a bit like what is written in the ancient mountains and wilderness, there are legends of ghosts and monsters, and there are also Taoist immortals.
But because of the existence of such an organization as the City God Temple.
Players can't be too presumptuous in this world, otherwise, they will not only face the pursuit of other players, but also the wanted of the City God Temple.
He didn't think that the City God Temple, which could become an official organization, would be no worse than the average player.
"As long as you are careful, your identity should not be revealed." Chen Jiu secretly thought in his heart, now he was only about ten miles away from the city in the distance, and he could reach it in an hour or two on foot.
"How to get into town is a problem." Chen Jiu frowned.
The ancient city was not like it is now, you can enter if you want, you can go out if you want to, whether it is in or out, it is best to have a reason, otherwise it is quite troublesome to be found out.
……
On the yellow mud road, an ox cart is moving forward leisurely, and the wooden cart full of goods runs over on the loess road, leaving two deep car marks.
A middle-aged man named Niu Er was sitting on the back of a cow and shouting unhurriedly.
This is a car to transport vegetables to the city, Niu Er will tow a car to a man's house in the city every day, because the distance is not far away, so he did not hire any dart master or anything, one is that the price is too expensive to be worthwhile, and the other is that he can't make any money in this car.
But every time he went, he would take one or two young juniors with him.
The reward is two vegetables in the car.
Although the remuneration is not rich, it is enough for these people outside the city to eat for a day, and Chen Jiu was able to grab this position because he only had one.
"Chen Er, you will follow your brother Niu in the future, and I will ensure that you will be able to eat every meal in the future." Niu Er in front shouted, in the market outside the city, he is an adult, and being able to connect with the lords in the city is a status symbol for people like them.
Chen Jiu nodded with a faint smile, "Okay, I will rely on Brother Niu to help me in the future." ”
In this kind of slum outside the city, there is generally a lot of people, some people are so hungry here that they go to find a way elsewhere, or some people go out and are killed by spirits, after all, anything can happen in this world.
Therefore, Niu Er did not have any doubts about Chen Jiu's identity.
No matter who he is, he is a good person if he can work for him.
"Don't think Brother Niu I'm bragging, I'll tell you that in this world, it's good to be full." Niu Er sighed, "Those officers and soldiers in the city are either busy catching mountain bandits or catching ghosts, where is there time to take care of these starving people outside our city." ”
"I've seen a lot of homeless people like you before, either starving to death or freezing to death, or going to be bandits, how can I come freely."
Chen Jiu was thoughtful.
From Niu Er's words, it is not difficult to see that the world at this time is indeed not very good, and there are homeless people everywhere, obviously there are ghosts and spirits in it.
While the two were chatting, Chen Jiu seemed to hear something and looked back.
Sure enough, a moment later, the sound of grass and trees breaking suddenly sounded on both sides of the loess road, and seven or eight figures rushed down from the hillsides on both sides.
"How can there be mountain bandits in this place!" Niu Er's face changed, there are still five or six miles away from the city, although this distance is not far, it is not close, but it is very embarrassing that it is stuck in the middle, and it is too late to call for help.
"It doesn't seem to be a bandit, it's a homeless person." Chen Jiu glanced at the seven or eight men who rushed down, all of them were hungry and yellow-skinned, obviously not quite in line with the situation of the mountain bandits.
It is estimated that he is also hungry and desperate, so he will take risks in this kind of place.
After all, this place is not far from the city, and Niu Er's carload and goods are not worth any money, so choosing to be a mountain bandit here is obviously not a good choice.
Niu Eryi saw that the person was not a mountain bandit but a homeless person, and his heart suddenly relaxed a little, and he shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Niu Er, is delivering food to Lord Wang in the city, and please raise your noble hands and let me go." ”
Chen Jiu couldn't help but glance at Niu Er, speaking of which Niu Er is also a smart person.
The first time to move out the name of the single person in the city, one is to let the other party know his identity so that the other party is afraid of himself, and the other is to tell the other party whose car is it, once it is robbed, it will be a big trouble.
can come up with such a sentence temporarily, this Niu Er is placed in modern times, and it is estimated that he is also a talent.
On the hillside ahead, a yellow-skinned man with thief eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes stood up, holding a shoddy woodcutter in his hand, and walked a little swaying, the yellow-skinned man stared at Niu Er viciously and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and said viciously: "Phew, take out the name of the master in the city to scare Lao Tzu?" What Lao Tzu is looking for is you Niu Er! ”
Niu Er was suddenly shocked.
Not a robbery? Instead, to seek revenge?
"Master, I don't remember that I offended you." Niu Er saw that the signs were wrong, and immediately changed his tone and said flatteringly.
"Hehe, your Niu Ye is a noble person who forgets things, my wife and children are starving to death in your hands, take a good look at who I am!" The yellow-skinned man said angrily.
Niu Er looked at it intently.
"Yellow skin? It turned out to be you? Why did I starve your wife and children to death? ”
"Humph! In the first half of the year, my wife and children were so hungry that I went to your field to find two vegetables, and you actually went directly to the government to arrest them, and their lives are still uncertain. The chopping knife in Huang Pizi's hand was raised, and he couldn't wait to break the strong Niu Er in front of him into thousands of pieces.
"The person was arrested by the government, you go to the government, what are you looking for me to do? Besides, it's not natural for me to report to the official for stealing things? Otherwise, they will all come and steal, how can I still live? The life of your wife and children is fate, but my life is not my life? ”
"Let you Niu Er say the sky today, Lao Tzu will slaughter you!" Huang Pizi licked his yellowed teeth, and waved the woodcutter in his hand, "Above, slaughter him, I have news, Niu Er, this kid definitely has silver on his body, slaughter him, so that the brothers will not starve anymore." ”
The men in front of them, although they are all hungry, have yellow faces and thin muscles.
But seven or eight people rushed together, and the fat man's face changed dramatically.
