Volume 1 The Long Night in the Sky Chapter 76 The Mountain Bandits on the Northbound Road
On the northernmost official road in Shanliang Prefecture, a pair of ragged grandchildren walked slowly, and several autumn geese made two turns in the sky.
The girl with two ponytails pointed to the autumn geese in the sky and screamed in surprise, and the grandfather rubbed her face with some doting, the official road here is not far from the Heavenly Dome Wasteland, and no one knows why the two beggar-like grandsons went to the wasteland.
Grandpa glanced at the official road behind him with some vigilance, a handsome young man wearing a Beiyou regular suit and carrying a black sword was walking far behind, maybe it was just the same road, that young man was not a bad person, but the farther away from the state city, the more useless the rules of the Beiyou Imperial Court were, who knows what people's hearts will be like in this kind of place.
Grandpa sighed, and couldn't help but sigh, Beiyou's autumn this year is really too demonic.
......
There is a low hillside on both sides of the official road in front, and the mountain is not high, but because it is far away from the boundary of Shanliangzhou, the government is too lazy to govern, and after a long time, a group of bandits gathered here.
It was noon, and the autumn sun was warm and warm, falling on people's faces, and there was a feeling of a girl's little hands gently brushing their faces.
Yu Qiang, whose face was full of scars, yawned deeply, he squatted on the dirt slope, next to a small coniferous tree half a person high, and looked at several brothers around him, most of them listlessly or squatting or lying on the mud grass.
Looks half-dead.
He shouted angrily:
"You...... You can't be mental, who will be afraid of us with this bear. ”
Not far from Yu Qiang, there was a one-eyed strong man, holding a knife in his hand and cutting a branch, he grinned and shouted:
"Brother Qiang, we are on this road, I don't know how long no one has come, ten miles and eight towns, who doesn't know that we are begging for a living in this Yangguan Road, besides, this side will be a wasteland in the past, and ghosts will go to that ghost place. ”
A group of men suddenly burst into laughter.
Yu Qiang rolled over and climbed up, and jumped to the one-eyed man's side to make a gesture, but his own brother, he didn't use his strength at all.
The man didn't hide, and even deliberately pouted his ass, and let Yinqiang kick it on the ass.
He deliberately learned the girl's house to sigh.
Resentful Authentic:
"Brother Qiang kicks other people's ......"
During the field, the brothers suddenly laughed louder, and Yu Qiang listened to the charming voice of the one-eyed man, and suddenly felt nauseous, and scolded and found a clean place to sit down.
When he sat down, he saw the little hungry wolf who was in charge of keeping an eye running over with a rolling belt.
Yu Qiang was shocked, rushed forward, grabbed this young man who was not very old, dark and capable, and asked:
"What's the matter, the officers and soldiers are finally here?"
"How many people? Is it Shanliang's garrison or the bandit team specially sent by the imperial court?"
The young man ran in a hurry, panting, and out of breath.
This will finally ease his senses, looking at the appearance of the big boss, he felt a little funny, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then smiled:
"No, Brother Qiang, there are fat sheep and girls. ”
When Yu Qiang heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, slapped the little hungry wolf in the face, and scolded with a smile:
"Then what are you doing running for your life, as if there are hundreds of officers and soldiers chasing you behind you. ”
The young man, nicknamed Little Hungry Wolf, stroked his face shyly and muttered:
"Isn't that a month since I met a fat sheep, I finally caught one, and I was excited. ”
Yu Qiang pinched the two taels of flesh on this kid's face, turned around and shouted at the brothers who were slowly getting up:
"Let's open meat today!"
......
......
There is still some distance from the Yangguan Road, and there is an ancient tree growing here, and the bark of the ancient tree is like the armor of a battle-hardened general, thick, but there are countless cracks.
Under the tree, the old man untied the sheepskin kettle around his waist and fed his granddaughter water.
The girl's lips were chapped, and the dry bark was like the bark of an ancient tree behind her, and the girl lowered her head to drink the water, careful not to leak a drop, but she didn't notice that her grandfather's lips were drier and the dry skin was thicker.
The old man's hand holding the kettle was still a little trembling because of exhaustion and weakness, it was the first time for them to leave Shanliangzhou, to such a far place, but a rebellious person like them, if they didn't escape, sooner or later it would be a dead end.
Suddenly, the old man's expression became nervous, the girl noticed the slight changes in her grandfather, looked up to the side, it turned out that the person with the sword also came to the tree, the girl is a child after all,
looked curiously at this person who had been with him all the way.
This person has very white skin, looks very good-looking, the girl has not read any books, there are not too many words of praise in her heart, the left and right are just plain thoughts such as really white, really good-looking.
But her grandfather thought more, in the wilderness, he was an old man and his granddaughter fled, once he met a bad man, he was nothing more than an old life, but his granddaughter was a female doll, if it was ......
The person under the tree is naturally Changqing who has gone all the way north, he didn't know that his appearance would have so many psychological reactions to his grandson, and at this time he was feeling the dark green sword in his pocket with his hand.
Since being injured by this little sword that night, Changqing has developed a strong interest in this weird flying sword, but the problem is that in the past few days, he has been carrying this dark green sword every day, and he has not figured out a reason, at this time, his fingertips are swimming back and forth on the spine of this small sword that is only nine inches or so, as if this is not a sword but a young woman in her twenties.
Feeling the gaze cast at him, Changqing slowly raised his head, and met a pair of young eyes that would be graceful and seductive in a few years, it was a young girl with a pair of ponytails, about twelve or thirteen years old.
Changqing retracted his gaze expressionlessly, continued to feel the dark green sword in his arms, and suddenly felt a little thirsty in his mouth, and easily untied the gourd on his waist.
Raise your hand and pour, there is no imagined sweetness and coolness, and the gourd is empty.
Only then did he remember that he had drunk all the water a few miles earlier.
He frowned slightly.
At this time, the girl's grandfather suddenly withdrew the sheepskin bag, and handed the water bag to Changqing in the girl's surprised gaze.
Changqing was slightly stunned, looked at the old man's chapped lips, and smiled slightly:
"I'm fine, thank you, old man. ”
The old man gestured again, and Changqing smiled again and shook his head.
The old man had no choice but to take back the sheepskin bag and pull the girl towards Yangguan Road.
Changqing was still sitting under the tree, took out the "Midsummer" small sword, and looked at the simple patterns on the sword in the sun, slightly stunned.
......
......
"Grandpa, we don't have much water left, and I don't know if we can find water in the wasteland, why do you just give it to a passerby. ”
The grandfather took his granddaughter by the hand and explained:
"Grandpa thinks that there won't be ordinary people who have nothing to do here, and those who can appear here are either bad people or very powerful people. ”
The girl who had drunk the water was in a much better mood, and asked with a wink of eyes:
"So is he a bad guy or a powerful guy?"
The old man smiled slightly, his chapped lips really couldn't laugh at anything, and he muttered in his heart:
"Either he doesn't like this bit of water and wants more, or I think too much, so I pull you girl and leave quickly." ”
The grandfather and grandson unknowingly stepped on Yangguan Road, alarming those who were hiding in the shadows.
First of all, the "bandits" who have no business for more than a month are a little excited, and the big boss Yu Qiang is out, like a wild wolf who has been hungry for many days, and finally sees a skinny white rabbit.
Although I know that this rabbit does not have a few taels of meat, even if it bites into its mouth, it will only eat a lonely one, but it is better than painting cakes to satisfy hunger.
But as the saying goes, a wolf is more hungry than a wolf, a mountain is higher than a mountain, and Yu Qiang is rushing out.
The little hungry wolf rushed out, but tripped over a stone and fell into a dog eating.
The one-eyed man wasn't much better.
A group of crooked bandits lined up on Yangguan Road.
These "bandits" were all ragged, except for Yu Qiang, who had a good-looking nine-ring broadsword, the rest were with sticks, some were carrying shovels, and a few were holding firewood knives for chopping wood.
One by one, their eyes glowed green, staring at the pair of grandchildren.
After all, Yu Qiang is a big boss, he has been in the industry for the longest time, and he is the best at playing the rules on the road, I saw him dancing with a nine-ring big knife in one hand, slamming the knife on the ground, taking a deep breath, and shouting:
"This place is my brother's flower, this tree and this flower are the same, if you want to fight here, leave to buy road money. ”
Seeing this, the old man's legs were weak, and the fatigue of the whole day and the fear in his heart burst out at this moment, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and almost passed out.
He pressed his head against the hard dirt and crawled forward little by little.
When the girl saw her grandfather like this, she suddenly became a little anxious, so she rushed to her grandfather and said angrily:
"You adults, what kind of ability is it to bully the elderly and children, if you want to kill them, you can kill them......
As soon as the girl said two cruel words, she was dragged to the ground by his grandfather and half-knelt on the ground, she had never seen her grandfather so fierce, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
The bandits on the opposite side saw it, their faces were a little hot, the men in the north were somewhat bloody, Yu Qiang fell into the grass back then, and there was some helplessness behind him, and then he also had the idea of robbing the rich and helping the poor, but as he got older, this unrealistic idea faded, but some things faded does not mean that they disappeared, and at this time, he was so excited by the half-grown girl, and the little thing in his heart suddenly gushed out.
In fact, the reason why their gang of bandits ended up like this, and they only dared to hide in this realm where birds don't, was because they couldn't get along.
After all, there is a mountain bandit who does not harm the lives of others, and only robs seven points and leaves three points for robbing money, and mountain bandits with bad rules like them are naturally squeezed out by other peers.
Today, I saw that the fat sheep was just a pair of ragged grandchildren, and I didn't have any ideas, but I just felt that the brothers had been decadent for too long, and they had to be pulled out to slip away, and good horses had to slip often.
The one-eyed man next to Yu Qiang stabbed the master, signaling Yu Qiang if he should say something, the little hungry wolf also calmed down, looked at the pair of grandchildren, and suddenly felt that he had done something wrong.
Suddenly, the eyes of the bandits lit up, and they saw a young man with a black sword slowly bypassing everyone, and they were about to go away.
Yu Qiang thought to himself, I just don't know how to get off the stage, it's good for you to send the steps to the door for me to step on, okay, let's rob you, find an excuse to let go of the crying grandson, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.
So he shouted:
"That kid over there, yes, it's just you, look at what, come here. ”
