Chapter 12: The Outside World Is Too Dangerous
The south gate of the city will soon arrive.
Normally, the tax collectors guarding the gate have always been in charge of entering and leaving, so this time he was not exploited, and Lu Yuan went out of the city very easily.
The sun overhead is still poisonous, and it's about one or two o'clock in the afternoon, which is the hottest time of the day.
But Lu Yuan couldn't manage so much.
It's better to get a little hotter than to stay in the city.
"The people of the Black Wolf Gang have been killed, and this gang that controls all the commercial trade in Dayu County will definitely not give up.
There is also the county office.
In broad daylight, someone kills people on the streets of the city, no matter how corrupt and incompetent the master of the yamen is, he will never allow it, and this kind of thing that provokes the majesty of the imperial court on the surface happens.
So if nothing else, the search and pursuit of the Black Wolf Gang and the government is estimated to appear soon. ”
Lu Yuan tightened the back basket on his back, and on the flat official road, his pace was a little faster.
The reason why he was reluctant to stay in the city was to avoid these troubles.
The Tsing Yi swordsman named Ma Jiqing doesn't know what sect or faction it is, but that swordsmanship is really sharp.
If the Black Wolf Gang and the government are at the same level as Zhang Biao's people, even if there are many people, they may not be able to win the other party.
In the face of a martial arts swordsman who plays with his life, Lu Yuan doesn't think that those gangsters and Yamen officials who have always been greedy will really chase and kill to the death.
"The upper-class people have to consider their own face, they want to maintain their own rule, and they have many interests, so it is absolutely impossible to let Ma Jiqing go.
But the errands at the bottom, what kind of evil did they commit, so stupid as to risk their lives to find the eyebrows of such a murderer. ”
Lu Yuan watched a lot of related TV series and novels in his previous life, and he also had a somewhat shallow opinion on some dirty routines: "So in the end, the only ones who are unlucky are those small people at the bottom." ”
"Alas, this evil feudal society."
Lu Yuan sighed, looked back at the gate of the city, and looked at the city, as if he could see the tragic scene that was about to happen.
"Hurry up, seal the city gates immediately, no one is allowed to enter or leave,"
At this moment, a group of officials and a group of men in black rushed out of the city, came to the city gate, and immediately sealed off the place.
One of the leading catchers shouted, "The murderer is probably still in the city." The county lord has already ordered that the thief dares to commit murder in the city, and he must not be let go this time, and he must be taken down, with the law of the king. ”
Next to him, among the men dressed in black, there was also a fierce man with a fierce face who said: "The gang leader said, take down the thief who killed Zhang Biao, and reward him with a thousand taels of silver." That person dares to offend my Black Wolf Gang, if you don't kill him, how can I wait on the rivers and lakes? ”
As he spoke, these government officials and gang thugs joined forces to block the city gates.
Some of them came to the foot merchants who were about to go out, and said viciously: "Say, do you know a person named Ma Jiqing?"
What, don't know him?
I see that you are lying if you are weak-hearted, otherwise you are panicking.
Come, take him down for me, and check to see if there is any stolen goods on him. ”
"Yes!"
Several officials and members of the Black Wolf Gang immediately laughed wildly, and surrounded the small merchants who were detained by them at the door.
The murderous thieves were fierce, and they did not dare to seek trouble, for fear of losing their lives.
The old man didn't dare to trouble the strongman, but you people, don't I dare to bully and bully?
Although the county lord and the gang leader lost face this time, it was a prelude to a carnival for the people below them.
Such a great opportunity, if you don't grasp it well, and knock those farts out of the bones, then I'm really sorry for this God-given opportunity.
In the distance, seeing this scene, Lu Yuan's cheeks twitched, and he was glad in his heart.
"If I'm a little bit too late, it's going to be me who I'm being detained now, right?"
Looking at those wronged leaders who were taken away from all their belongings, and even were treated as suspects and might have to go to prison, he felt a chill.
Immediately, he didn't dare to stay longer, turned around and left quickly.
Quickly left the area of the city gate, and when the rear could not be seen here, the original walk was replaced by running.
After running for three or five miles, he completely left the county area and felt safe, so Lu Yuan stopped.
While panting, he wiped his sweat.
"The world is too dangerous, not only the swordsmen who kill people in the streets, but also the greedy officials and gangsters. Compared to the ferocious and terrible humans outside, the beasts inside the mountains are cuter. ”
Originally, he was dissatisfied and unhappy about becoming a hunter.
But at this moment, with the experience of entering the city today, Lu Yuan felt that being a hunter didn't seem to be so bad.
At the very least, you don't have to worry about it on weekdays, but you will inexplicably suffer an unjustified disaster, and a catastrophe is coming.
was approached by a group of officials and beaten on a charge.
Then he was thrown into prison, his family property was confiscated, and he had nothing in an instant, and he became a prisoner.
In the mountains, you only have to deal with those beasts that are cunning, but not too smart.
No matter how dangerous the beast is, can anyone be dangerous?
"When I returned to the mountain this time, I immediately went into retreat. If I don't upgrade my rudimentary archery skills and rudimentary swordsmanship skills to the full level, I have a certain amount of self-preservation power, and I will never come out. Lu Yuan thought to himself.
This time he went down the mountain, and he bought ten catties of salt, enough for a strong man to eat for two or three years.
Originally, I thought it was just in case, but now it seems that it happened to happen.
There are endless wild beasts in the mountains, and there are countless wild fruits and wild vegetables, all of which can sustain people's survival needs.
For a hunter, as long as he doesn't get stuck in the neck with salt, then he can stay forever.
"Anyway, I have an infinite life. Even if you stay in the mountains for a few years, it's like an ordinary person taking a nap, and it will pass in one fell swoop.
At most, the conditions in the mountains are poor, and it will take two more years of hard life.
But compared to these, it's better to be bitter than to lose your life inexplicably. ”
……
Lu Yuan's physical fitness is still very strong now.
It only took more than an hour to walk more than ten miles south along the official road, carrying more than 30 pounds of things on his back.
And after walking with weight for so long, he only felt a little tired, but it was not unbearable.
The easy official road soon came to an end.
Next to a small village, Lu Yuan looked at the mountain road that branched out from the official road in front of him and suddenly became rugged and steep, and his heart was full of intimacy.
Once here, it's Lantau Island.
Finally back to his own turf.
"But before I go back to the mountain, I have to go to the village to buy some rice."
Lu Yuan tightened the back basket on his body, followed a fork in the road, and walked towards the village.
Although it was said earlier, there are wild beasts and wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains, and these can be eaten.
But you can't eat these things all the time.
When it's time to eat rice, you still have to eat it, otherwise you will be too wronged yourself.
