Towards dusk, it began to rain the sun, and from time to time a ray of golden sunlight shone through the gap in the clouds, sprinkling on the earth to form patches.

The neighing of horses, the laughter of men, and the cries of women were constantly heard in a team of dozens of people.

"Hurry up, if you drag it out, you'll all pull it and cut it. ”

There were only five horses in the whole team, and one of them sat on a black-bearded man, scolding, grabbing a tiger-headed knife, gently clamping his crotch and getting off the horse, stepping forward and waving it, and immediately the unkempt woman in the team who was crying and chirping, her head flew out, leaving only her neck splattered with blood and fell.

This bloody scene did not frighten the men in the procession, but only frightened the women, who covered their mouths with their hands and did not dare to cry anymore, and staggered on the muddy mountain road to continue walking.

"There's a village ahead!"

The little sentry who was exploring the road came back on horseback, and did not dare to ride too fast on the mountain road, but when he returned, the news made the team happy.

Especially the black-bearded man, he shouted happily: "The thief's skin, you can finally rest, how many people are there in that village?"

"No one. ”

Xiao Whistle shook his head, "It's deserted, no one, not even a grain of grain has been found." ”

"What? nobody? fuck ......"

The black-bearded man cursed loudly, and the high mood in the ranks went down again, no one means no food.

It's better than resting in the heavy rain on a mountain road.

The team sped up, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the mountains and forests to disappear, and a small road down the distance was a village.

In normal times, such a village should have smoke curling, or tenant farmers and farmers who farmed the fields, but now, not to mention the smoke curling, the cultivated fields have long been deserted, so it can be seen that this village has been empty for a long time.

This is also normal, the world is in chaos, thieves and thieves have made the people miserable, and then there are more than a dozen anti-thieves and official wars, and there are many uninhabited villages like this, which is really normal.

By the time the team descended the path and walked along the fields into the village, the heavy rain had gradually become lighter, but the sporadic light rain was still annoying.

Many men still have hats and robes to wear, and there are robbed cotton clothes inside, but the women have no extra clothes, only a few thin clothes close to their bodies, which are soaked by the heavy rain and shivering.

The black-bearded man rode a horse, condescendingly looking around, and sure enough, it was a deserted village, perhaps looted by bandits, or looted by officers and soldiers, some of the villagers' gates were kicked down, and some houses were burned by fire, and the white bones that faintly emerged from the dirt were still explaining the sad fate of the beginning.

There is no need to think about it, the black-bearded man also knows that he can't find a grain of rice in the house.

What can I do?

I can only continue to eat dry food, but the small amount of dry food will be eaten in a few days, what will be good then?

The black-bearded man was so annoyed that he had a headache, originally his rebel army had a few county towns in a row, and its prestige was so great that the officers and soldiers were terrified, and they were so uncomfortable! But the good times did not last long, suddenly a strange official army attacked, the rebels were defeated in a battle, and they scattered and fled, and the sentry team he led ran fast enough, but they ran and ran and did not know where they were going.

The dry food he carried along the way was almost finished, and it was impossible for people not to eat, the black-bearded man glanced back, thinking that it was a waste to kill a woman just now......

Without waiting for the black-bearded man to command, the surrounding men rushed into the houses to search, but unfortunately, just as he thought, his subordinates came out in tears, not to mention looting, the houses were so empty that even the bandits wanted to leave something when they saw it.

"Mr. Sentry, the yard in front looks pretty good......

His subordinates pointed to a courtyard at the front of the village, which was made of loess, mud and stones, compared to the fence walls of the surrounding courtyards, which was a "rich family".

If you want to live in a good house, it must be a good house.

"There it is!"

With a wave of the whip in the black-bearded man's hand, the team moved forward, and soon arrived in front of the courtyard.

He dismounted easily, handed the reins to the sentry next to him, and someone next to him pushed the door in advance, and as soon as he entered, he heard the front shouting, "Hey, why is there a donkey here?"

"What a donkey, you fork, that's a mule!"

The companion said disdainfully.

The black-bearded man followed him in, "What's the noise, where did the mules come from?"

The courtyard was quite large, but now it was all muddy when it rained, there was a well, and there was a half-damaged livestock shed, under which there was a rather large man, like a horse, but with long ears and small hooves, and it really looked like a donkey, but experienced people could still tell at a glance that it was a mule. This mule grows bigger than a donkey, and stronger than an ordinary horse, belongs to the fine draft animal, after the rebellion, except for the cavalry, this mule is much better than horses and donkeys in rough and difficult mountain roads, whether it is pulling carts and carrying carts.

Therefore, it is not strange that this folk can see mules, but the strange thing is that how can there be a mule in this deserted mountain village?

And the black-bearded man keenly saw that this mule still had luggage on it?

Anyone here?

Before the black-bearded man could speak, the sentry who came in and led the horse shouted, "Why is there a duck?"

I didn't see it, but as the sentry shouted, the people who came in one after another saw a fat white duck poking out of its head in the haystack of the shed.

"Quack ......"

The big fat duck crowed, and immediately made everyone drool.

"They're all bastards, and there's still someone here!"

The black-bearded man roared angrily and slapped the sentry next to him.

The sentry was slapped in the face, and the others drew their knives and took aim at several houses in the compound.

"Search for me!"

The black-bearded man gave an order, and with the sound of the "click" of the door being pushed open, a figure stood in front of the door between the opening and closing of the main door.

"Where did the Wild Daoist come from?"

The black-bearded man was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the figure was dressed in a gray Taoist robe draped over his body, unkempt, and did not tie a Taoist bun, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a wild Taoist priest.

He stretched out his hand to stop the impulses of his subordinates, and said vigilantly: "That Taoist priest, who are you? Where are you coming from?"

The wild Taoist priest stood motionless at the door, lowered his head and let his long hair cover his face, and muttered, "My head hurts so much." ”

"What is he talking about?"

"I don't understand. ”

"Sentry?"

The men looked at the black-bearded man.

The black-bearded man hesitated, his rebel army started an incident, and there was a soldier acting under the account of the "old eye king", and there were many auspicious and evil hexagrams, because the old eye king respected the Taoist priest very much, and did not allow the sixteen righteous army to hurt the monks.

But the black-bearded man quickly turned cold, no matter how much he fucked, the "old eye king" is far away in the sky, and now this wild Taoist priest will be killed, he wants mules and ducks, and it just so happens that the dry food is not enough, and people can eat for a day after chopping.
