The second boss finally failed to hold on, and died because of excessive blood loss on the way out of the back mountain forest.

Xiao Jiu asked a minion to inform the people in the village to gather in the hall, and he sat on a chair in the middle of the hall, looking around with a cold face at the group of mountain bandits in Hare Mountain crowded in the house, all of whom had their heads down and did not dare to look directly.

With the prestige of killing the bandits in Wild Wolf Mountain and capturing the traitors alive, he shocked the crowd of people who were about to move in the cottage, and Xiao Jiu temporarily dispelled the idea of going down the mountain alone.

Now the world is in chaos, a mountain fire forced Xiao Jiu to flee for his life, this is no longer Xiao Jiu's original world, there is no time to be quiet, and even living in peace has become a luxury. What's more, his identity is a bandit, if he is recognized, he will either be beheaded or continue to die.

Adjusting his breathing and suppressing the chaotic thoughts, Xiao Jiu decided to play his current role first before he could plot anything else.

An afternoon had passed, and the "traitor" who had been lying in the open space in the middle of the lobby with his hands tied slowly woke up, trying to open his eyelids, and a few moans came out of his mouth from time to time.

Xiao Jiu saw that everyone in the cottage was basically all together, and slowly got up from the Eight Immortals Chair, and the eyes in the lobby instantly converged on Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu was still expressionless, and walked step by step to the dead dog-like grass to fly, and only stopped when he reached the front of him, and asked everyone; "What about those who betray my brother?"

Everyone in the lobby was silent and did not answer.

Xiao Jiu saw that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, and raised his hand to point at a thin mountain bandit, "Dagger." ”

The mountain bandit who was pointed at was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he quickly groped around his body, groped out a small sword about seven inches long at his waist, and handed it to Xiao Jiu respectfully with both hands.

Xiao Jiuyi picked up the dagger, carried the grass and flew up, and stabbed it into the lower abdomen, when the tip of the knife just went in, the grass flew out with a strong desire to survive, and struggled desperately, but Xiao Jiu grabbed his collar and stabbed at the waist with a knife, and gradually the grass flew out of breath, and his body gradually became paralyzed.

"Those who betray me are copycats, with three knives and six holes."

At this time, Xiao Jiu exuded a ruthless energy, and said viciously.

The mountain bandits in the lobby buried their faces even lower, hoping that Xiao Jiu, who was like a god, would not notice him, but Xiao Jiu ignored everyone and sat back on the Eight Immortal Chair in the middle of the lobby.

The situation in the cottage has been suppressed by Xiao Jiu's murderous and exemplary monkeys, and the bandits can be regarded as acquiescing to Xiao Jiu's status.

"Brothers, the cottage suffered heavy losses in a catastrophe, and the second master was killed by thieves again, and sooner or later I have to ask for an explanation."

"But the country can't be without a king for a day, and the cottage can't be without an owner for a day, today I will temporarily take over the cottage first, who has any objection?"

At this time, Xiao Jiu sat there like a god of war, and the picture of just stabbing the dead grass and flying on it was still vivid, who would dare to disagree?

After half a ring, Xiao Jiu saw that the hall was still silent, and said: "Since everyone has no opinion, let's do this first, but who dares to eat inside and outside, don't blame me Xiao Jiu for not being emotional." ”

After speaking, he threw the dagger flying on the dead grass to the ground, and the landing made everyone tremble.

After doing this, Xiao Jiu waved his hand, and the mountain bandits in the hall understood and began to leave one after another, among them, those who surrendered with their heads held their heads when the bandits in Wild Wolf Mountain came up, and they were glad that they had escaped.

Xiao Jiu didn't want to pay attention to this, after all, he was fleeing in a panic at the time, after this accident, there were less than thirty people left in the cottage who could move, and they couldn't withstand any changes, as for the other injured bandits, they didn't know how many would survive in this era of lack of medical treatment.

Watching a group of mountain bandits leave the hall one after another, when a middle-aged mountain bandit was about to leave, Xiao Jiu stopped him.

"Old horse, come."

The middle-aged man turned around and saw Xiao Jiu looking at him, so he stopped and came to Xiao Jiu's side, it is worth mentioning that this middle-aged bandit decided to go down the mountain with Xiao Jiu at that time to avenge the former bandit leader Jiang Erhu.

"Boss, you called me?" , The middle-aged mountain bandit grinned with big yellow teeth at this time, tried to make a friendly smile, and replied respectfully to Xiao Jiu.

"You shot that arrow before, right? What is used, a crossbow? ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man took out a bow and crossbow wrapped in black cloth and hung around his waist from behind him, and told Xiao Jiu some things in detail.

At that time, Jiang Erhu and Xiao Jiu's father, together with the middle-aged bandits, were all soldiers in the army, because they lost the battle with foreign races in Liaozhou, they became deserters and fled all the way back to Qingzhou, and the bow and crossbow were also weapons brought out by the army.

When the year was not good, Jiang Erhu entangled a group of people and began to gather in the mountains and forests, and took Xiao Jiu, an orphan in a neighboring county, to the village, which was already in its fourth year.

Listening to the story of the mountain bandit Lao Ma, although he knew some things through the memories in his mind when he crossed, Xiao Jiu had a deeper understanding of this era at this time.

The upper elites competed for power and profit, the common people at the bottom were dependent on the landlords and wealthy households, the land annexation was serious, and it was in the midst of successive droughts, and the poor people who were even struggling to survive had to pay high taxes, and the people had no way to live but were forced to become homeless or bandits.

In addition to these, border places such as Liaozhou and Tongzhou will also be raided by foreign races in the south, after all, the grassland residents in the north are not having a good time.

Listening to what Lao Ma dictated, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but think of the empires that were coming to the end of the dynasty in the previous life.

The destruction of the country is never overnight, it is the continuous accumulation of various contradictions, and finally it is gradually destroyed after a violent outbreak.

At the same time, it also made Xiao Jiu give up the original idea of going down the mountain alone, this is a troubled time, if you want to survive, you have to rely on strength, you have to have people, food, and knives.

lived for a hundred years in the previous life, which made Xiao Jiu know that he could not control the tide of the times by himself alone, and he had no earth-shattering ability to be a savior, but even if it was just to survive for himself, he had to plan for the future, otherwise he would suddenly be put on the neck one day, and this trip would not be in vain.

Xiao Jiu sent the old horse away, and Xiao Jiu was the only one left in the cottage hall, thinking about some of the advantages he had, but after thinking about it, he couldn't avoid the word money and food after all.

It's hard to make money.

Then Xiao Jiu looked at the bow and crossbow left by the old horse in his hand, and wanted to try to disassemble it to see if he could reproduce some according to its principle and equip his own "bandit army".

But the iron machines in the crossbow cut him off. Now the swords in the cottage are basically forged from pig iron, and a few chips can be broken when chopping wood, let alone using molds to make these parts.

Wait, pig iron?
