Chapter 40: Troublesome Work

After returning the book to Skar, Oster wanted to take the opportunity to confess to the other party that he was a straw bag. Now that Sashu has no electricity, he is just an embroidered pillow, which will break when he stabs it, and he will be embarrassed by the master of the hall at all, and he will lose his life.

But after thinking about it, I don't know how to open my mouth. Seeing his bitter face, Skar mistakenly thought that he was still upset because he had not played a role, and apologized first;

"Brother Brown, the gang has been growing too fast lately, and there are more affairs than expected, and I promised you to show your strengths, but it was my fault that it was delayed again and again. In this case, you will patrol a circle of gang strongholds on my behalf first, and by the way, get familiar with everyone, and then let's think about it in the long run. ”

Oster thought to himself, anyway, there is no hurry, it would be good to go around and go, and get to know more people. Even if you are reduced to begging for food in the future, it is not a bad thing to have a beggar gang to cover you. So he agreed, and asked, "Where shall I go to inspect first?" ”

Skar replied, "You can go to the stronghold in Dongxiang first, which is next to the main road station, and then it is convenient to take the shuttle bus to other places." Most of the people stationed at the outlying strongholds are newcomers who have just joined the gang, and you tell them that you are the hall master and that you are patrolling on behalf of the gang. Everyone must be disciplined, and no unauthorized actions or disturbances must be allowed. ”

The idea of the gang leader is that recently, the armed struggle of the people in various places to resist rent and grab grain has been in full swing, and the ranks of the rebels have also expanded several times, absorbing many people of various backgrounds. The quality of these people is uneven, and many of them are unhelpful and disobedient. Half of the reason why he is busy like this is because he is dealing with the contradictions and conflicts between the gangs and the people in various strongholds;

So Skar wanted to find someone with outstanding combat power and the ability to calm the field to go around and stabilize these thorns. He had heard of Oster's record of killing the Knight captain alone and fighting ten without injury in Black Mountain Town, and he was convinced of his strength, thinking that this matter would not be a problem for the new hall master.

As a result, Oster didn't hear this at all, thinking that he was just going to let himself go around and get to know people by the way;

So he took the newly cast identity plate, rode on his horse and set off, walked for a long time, and arrived at the stronghold next to the post station.

Oster remembered that it was a small station he had passed by horse-drawn train when he first came to Black Mountain, and that it had now fallen into the hands of the rebels. Protected from robbers and harassment, it became a small market town with a large number of refugees, merchants, people, and supplies.

Oster went to the place and tied his horse, walked around, and sure enough, no one knew him. Walking to a shed, the rebel soldiers were lining up to eat.

The rebels had a food rationing system, and no one was allowed to steal or plunder the people, and this was the stronghold canteen. Oster felt hungry after running around for a long time, touched the nameplate in his pocket, and lined up at the back of the line.

There are all kinds of people in the team, although they all have red masks tied to one arm as a identification marker, but they have not yet had time to distribute uniform clothing and weapons; Some people look like former mercenaries and even green forest heroes.

Oster took the plate and followed the crowd to the front, and had just finished his meal when he heard a commotion coming from behind. I saw a strong man with five big and three thick walking straight away from the crowd, scolding and swearing in his mouth, "What kind of queue, it's like a group of fools." ”

The person next to him asked him to abide by the discipline and go to the back, he relied on the tall horse to push and shove with people, while saying, "What's the matter, are you not convinced, do you know who I am?" Saying it scares you to death, have you heard of the five demons of Montenegro, those are my five eldest brothers. ”

Seeing that he was stunned, he looked like he was not easy to mess with, and others were not as knowledgeable as him. The strong man plugged all the way to the front, looked around triumphantly, and sneered, "A group of cowards." ”

At this time, Oster had just finished his meal and turned back with his plate. One didn't pay attention, and just hit the strong man, and the hot porridge and rice splashed him;

"Whew! - "The strong man was burned to the point of jumping three feet high and screaming loudly. After patting off the porridge and rice, I saw that there was a large red patch on my chest and arms, and I immediately stopped doing it; "My delicate skin! …… What are you doing, find fault! ”

Because it was his own fault, Oster bowed his head and apologized to him. But the other party did not relent, stepped forward and grabbed Auster by the collar and pushed him hard;

Oster was pushed back a few steps and nearly fell, the nameplate in his coat pocket falling out.

The person next to him saw the sign on the ground at a glance and said in surprise, "Isn't this the hall master's nameplate, it turns out that you are the headquarters leader who is coming to inspect today." ”

Everyone gathered around and said, "Hall Master, you can take care of these horse bandits." After they joined the gang, they knew all day long that they were bullying others and causing trouble. ”

The strong man looked at Oster, stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "What, it's still the hall master?" This gang is too weak, so it's better to let my big brothers take the lead. ”

The person next to him said, "Don't be arrogant, I heard that this hall master is very powerful, if you really fight, your eldest brother is not enough to move his fingers." ”

The strong man laughed and said, "Joke, do you know who the Black Mountain Five Demons are?" The ringing horses who planted trees on the road to make way were nothing more brutal than my big brothers. The nearby caravan train said that it would rob whoever it was, killing people like hemp, and the officers and soldiers were so frightened when they saw it, what kind of thing is this kid? ”

The people around him and the strong men began to scold and fight, and Oster had already understood at this time that he was being arranged to do this kind of troublesome work. And now he can't cope with it at all, so he still walks away;

So he bowed down again and apologized to the strong man, and then separated the crowd and left silently. The people around him were talking, "Is this hall master so easy to talk to?" I heard that he was a wanted criminal who burned the paladin to death and shot the head of the town's bully, so why was he still afraid of horse bandits? ”

The strong man looked at Auster's back and said loudly with disdain, "Braggart doesn't make drafts, look at his cowardice." If this skinny monkey can beat the paladin, I will be able to kill the Abyss Lord. ”

Oster was unmoved, and continued to walk, how could he be beaten and hurt to lose face. However, as soon as he had not taken two steps, five even larger men came up to him, blocking his way.

The strong men were all carrying scimitars, dressed as bandits, with deep scars on their faces, chests, or arms; With a plate in his hand, one of them was sucking a carton of chilled milk. while shouting; "What's going on, what's going on?" "Bobby, let you make a meal for Lao Tzu, and he hasn't come back for a long time."

Oster thought to himself that the productivity of this world was sometimes quite evil, with swords, magic, and muskets all at the same time, and carriages, trains, and steam tanks going hand in hand; While cooking with firewood, there are even plastic straws.

The first strong man called Poppy ran over, and on the way he deliberately bumped Oster on the shoulder, ran to the strong men and said;

"Big brother, I'll tell you a joke, this red-haired weak chicken is actually the hall master here! They also said that this man could knock down the big brothers with one finger. It's really laughing, hahaha......"

The strong men suddenly became interested, "Let's see, who is so awesome." ”

Oster's scalp was numb, this was bad, one was not settled, and five stronger ones came in, and Skar had arranged a fatal errand for him. Now kneel down and beg for mercy, can you avoid a beating?

Bobby also added fuel and vinegar to the side, "I think let's go, a bunch of broken rules, this is not allowed to be done, that is not allowed to be done, and the leader is also so weak." Let's just go back to the mountains and continue to rob the house. ”

At this time, only a sparse collision sound was heard, and the five strong men with scars took off their plates in unison and fell to the ground;

All five of them had wide eyes and wide mouths. One of them trembled and pointed at Oster and said, "You—you're not ......."
