Drive!

Ma Shuo rode a horse, Qi Jing drove, and the two walked together on the avenue outside Huangsha City, in the direction of returning to the village.

After the success of the distillation experiment, Ma Shuo did not make any further moves. However, the success of the distillation experiment increased the development degree of Ma Shuo's original brain domain by another 0.01 to 3.03.

Primitive brain domain development 3.03

Fusion Brain Domain Development 0.1-Information Unblocking 0.01%

Intelligence 1.6 - Normal speed of thinking

Physical strength 1.8 - physical strength 500 pounds

Energy 1.7 - (Max 1.7, All Strength Battle lasts 2 hours and 10 minutes)

The values on the virtual modules in the brain domain change again.

After putting away the high liquor and a small amount of alcohol obtained from the first distillation, Ma Shuo temporarily stored the equipment.

Then, after spending some more silver to buy some daily necessities, Ma Shuo and Qi Jing left Huangsha City with a few jars of high-grade wine and a small amount of alcohol.

The old lady is still at home, and for the time being, they can't stay in Huangsha City for a long time.

"Ma Shuo, you said that this time we went back, are there any mountain bandits blocking the road?" Halfway through, I don't know if I was idle, and suddenly Qi Jing stuck her head out of the carriage and asked Ma Shuo.

Hearing Qi Jing's question, Ma Shuo was really a little crying and laughing. Mountain bandits, or mountain bandits?

Last time, if Qi Jing hadn't rushed over rashly to clash with those people of the Huang family, there would have been no such things in the City Lord's Mansion later.

Actually, this matter can be regarded as the luck of Ma Shuo and the others, that Ximen Xiong did not take the two of them to heart, and did not kill people.

Otherwise, the two of them would have turned into corpses and been thrown into mass graves at this time.

Of course, the last time he encountered the mountain bandits, it was not without benefits, if it were not for the more than three hundred taels of silver he got from the mountain bandits, it would be impossible to buy the real estate in Huangsha City and other items smoothly this time.

So, from this point of view, Ma Shuo also has to thank those mountain bandits.

Mountain bandits, this time I really didn't meet again. However, on the way, Ma Shuo and Qi Jing met a few acquaintances, who were beaten by Ma Shuo and Qi Jing for the first time in the robber business.

Unexpectedly, these five guys have been waiting for Ma Shuo and the others.

When they saw Ma Shuo and the others, the five guys were stunned and knelt down directly in front of Ma Shuo's horse, but Ma Shuo was startled, thinking that these five guys still wanted to rob them, but they really didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

However, seeing them actually kneeling on the ground, Ma Shuo was a little confused.

"Hero, our brothers have discussed. After that, we will all follow you, because you defeated us last time. From now on, you will be our boss! ”

Hearing the words of the five people, Ma Shuo couldn't help but be happy, there could be such a thing. Of the five men who were sent to the door, Ma Shuo didn't refuse immediately.

Because he was thinking about one thing, if he wanted to develop in Huangsha City, he really needed some manpower, and when he went back this time, he also wanted to see if he could find some people from the village, after all, the people in the village knew the roots.

However, if you have the opportunity to get more people, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

From the five people, Ma Shuo did not feel the fierce spirit, which shows that these five guys are not really fierce people, they should really be poor people who can't survive.

If that's the case, it's not that they can't be accepted. As for faithfulness, it is entirely possible to cultivate.

Moreover, Ma Shuo is not afraid of their bad intentions, because Ma Shuo has enough self-confidence, as his mastery of martial arts deepens, his strength will become more and more powerful, and it is no problem to suppress these rammers.

After receiving Ma Shuo's affirmative answer, the five guys were so excited that they kowtowed to Ma Shuo again and again.

The five people consciously followed behind Ma Shuo, and Ma Shuo also deliberately slowed down, lest these guys not be able to keep up.

At the same time, Ma Shuo learned more about the situation of these guys through small talk.

After the five people, two of them were brothers, named Liu Yi and Liu San, and they originally had five brothers, and Liu Er, Liu Si and Liu Wu, including the rest of the family, had all starved to death or died of illness.

There are also three people, named Meng Da, Meng Hu and Hou Qi. Although Meng Da and Meng Hu are both surnamed Meng, they are not brothers, but uncle-nephew relationships, of which Meng Da is an uncle and Meng Hu is a nephew.

Five people, all from one village. In the whole village, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are only five of them left in the sturdy men.

Originally, they also wanted to be a border soldier, but because they didn't get entangled, they planned to be a robber who blocked the way and did some entanglement.

Unexpectedly, the first time I bumped into Ma Shuo's iron plate. It's just that Ma Shuo finally let them go and didn't pursue them too much.

Ma Shuo's actions actually touched the hearts of these guys, and several people actually decided to defect to Ma Shuo.

It's just that they didn't know where to find Ma Shuo, so the Liu brothers came up with a stupid idea, so they simply waited in place and passed by here when Ma Shuo and the others went back.

Because they judged that Ma Shuo should still go from here.

It's just that I didn't expect them to wait here for almost ten days, and to be honest, by this time, the five of them were already a little disappointed.

As a result, just when the five of them were about to wait any longer, Ma Shuo appeared, how could this not make the five of them overjoyed.

Knowing that the five people had been waiting here stupidly for ten days, Ma Shuo was also a little crying and laughing, these five rammed goods were stupid enough, if they really didn't go back to the village, they would really wait in vain.

A group of seven people, riding horses and driving carriages, finally returned to the village. Seeing her son come back, Ma's mother was naturally very excited, hugged her son's face, looked at it carefully, and then let go of her hand.

When she heard her son say that she went out to buy a lot of things this time and took in five subordinates, Ma's mother became a little entangled for a while.

Buying things, but it costs money, and the family doesn't have much money. There wasn't a lot of food at home, but there were five more big men at once, what should I do?

It's just that the son has already decided on this matter, and he can't object to it.

In fact, not only Ma Shuo, but also Ma Shuo himself, also has a headache at the moment.

I was patronizing the matter of asking for manpower before, so I agreed to accept the person, but now that I'm at home, I remember that the conditions at home seem to be a little unsuitable for adding so many people at once. One is the problem of food, and the other is the problem of housing.

The problem of food is better to talk about for the time being, because there is a batch of grain he bought this time in the carriage. Therefore, the most critical issue at the moment is the issue of housing.

Fortunately, it's already May, and the temperature outside is not low, so you don't have to worry about freezing. Tonight, let's make do with it, and tomorrow I'll go into the mountains to get some wood and come back, and I'll build a house first.

There was nothing to say all night, and after a night, Ma Shuo took Liu Yi and other five people into the mountain at dawn the next day. Six people entered the mountain, all armed with them.

Now, Ma Shuo is not short of weapons, in addition to contributing a sum of money, that group of mountain bandits also contributed a batch of weapons, although the quality is average, it is better than wooden sticks.

Originally, Ma Shuo was going to find the old blacksmith to retrieve the weapon he had made for Mark.

Thinking of solving the problem of five people immediately, I had to put the matter of finding the old blacksmith on hold.
