Chapter 13: The Wanderers
"Away, I can't take you to Kyoto with me. Qin Feng touched his head and said, "You just stay here and wait for me to come back, and next time you can show your might." β
"Roar" Li lowered his head and roared, signaling Qin Feng to come back quickly.
Qin Feng put on his mask again, and several people led the horses to the city gate, and Fu Bo and the others sent them out of the city before going back.
Several people gathered at the city gate, said goodbye, and then began to set out on the road. When he left, Fu Bo also specially warned them that the mountain bandits near the city were rampant, and there were several groups of people living a life of robbing houses and houses. Let them pay attention.
"Drive", "drive", "drive".
"Mother, I'm hungry. A little boy was in tears.
"Huzi, don't cry, don't cry. There's also some bark on this. The boy's mother looked at the boy, tears rolling in her eyes, but she held back her tears.
Qin Feng dismounted, came to the little boy's side, rubbed the little boy's head, and gave him some cakes and some broken silver.
The little boy was very unsightly, and he devoured a meal.
"Thank you, Childe, thank you. The boy's mother hurriedly said, "Kuaihuzi said thank you, big brother." β
"Thanks, big brother. The boy looked at Qin Feng with innocent eyes.
"Eat slowly, big brother, it's still there. Qin Feng said.
For Qin Feng, these things were just a gesture, but for these people who hadn't eaten for a few days, they were more precious than gold.
As soon as the others saw that Qin Feng was giving food, people crowded up one after another, begging grandpa and grandma for food, and Qin Feng sent out all the food they had on their bodies. But there are too many homeless people, more wolves and less meat, and all kinds of looting.
Qin Feng originally wanted to stop them, but Qu Zichen said: "Let them rob them, they have been hungry for too long, and we can't distribute the food evenly to everyone." β
Qin Feng's outstretched hand retracted again. He turned to the boy's mother.
"This sister-in-law, I don't know where you are, why are so many people wandering?" Qin Feng asked.
"Childe, we are villagers near Youcheng, and there are people who have passed through the city and have been forced to be homeless and have nowhere to go. The sister-in-law said, "Our village was occupied by mountain bandits, so we could only come out to make a living, and the men in the family also died." Others were kicked out of the city because they could not pay their taxes. β
"What, then why don't you live in another city?" Qin Feng asked, Qin Feng's face began to turn cold.
"Look at Childe, you are all big families, where you know this. The sister-in-law said, "If you can't pay the taxes, you can still go to the city! We people who live in the mountains, young people, have all been arrested to repair the city, or they have been beaten to death by mountain bandits." There is nothing left for us, old and young, women and children, who are not capable of doing anything. I can only wait for death. β
"In this way, sister-in-law, you went to Graphite City to find the city lord of Shi Kunfeng, and said that Shi Huanwen asked you to come. Shi Huanwen said, "They will naturally arrange a place for you to go, the city lord of Graphite City is my father, and our Graphite City will help everyone." β
"Follow this road, about 7 days, and you can see Graphite City. Shi Huanwen pointed to the road and said.
Shi Huanwen shouted, the homeless people heard it clearly, but they still had some suspicions, Graphite City was far away from here. But they have nowhere to go, so why not trust those who have helped them?
Some people have already started to walk towards Graphite City, but others are still in place, and most of these are old people who know that they don't have long to live. That's it.
Qin Feng and the others walked for two hours, and then they found that there were groups of displaced people along the way, and they were sitting in piles next to the trees. The homeless people were in rags, their hair was messy, and a few were even scrambling for half a dirty steamed bun.
At first, Qin Feng would also give them some food and some money, although Qin Feng didn't have much money, Qu Zichen was not short of money. But the further they go, the more displaced people there are, and it is impossible for Qin Feng and them to give them all the money they have. And will tell them, let them go to Graphite City.
Qin Feng's approach was not exchanged for gratitude, and gradually some people looked at Qin Feng, and their eyes changed. Become greedy, become greedy.
"Big brother, look at these boys so rich. I just saw them scattering their money. A man with a cane and a thief's eyebrows asked, "There are such beautiful women, why don't we join some people and rob them?"
"In the wilderness, it is impossible to find even the corpse if you kill it. The man had a ruthless idea.
"I think it's okay, we've been eating the bark for several days, and if we eat it again, I'll turn into livestock. "It was the man who was called Big Brother who spoke. Although he is strong, he has not eaten for a few days, and he is almost out of strength to speak.
"Mouse, you go and tell Wang Wu and Zhao Si about this, and let's do it together. β
"Hmm," the mouse replied with a nod.
Qin Feng also said that these people had bad intentions towards them, but for him, these people didn't do anything out of line. He won't care about those people. Xu Mei was a little scared and kept pulling Qin Feng's arm.
"These people just don't have a face. Qu Zichen said angrily, "Do you really think we are kneading dough? If they dare to do it, they will teach them a lesson." β
"Let's go, if they don't appreciate it, we don't have to talk nonsense with them. Qin Feng said.
A few people led the horses like this, but there were a dozen people behind them, and their faces were fierce.
"Give it to me. β
More than a dozen people rushed up with their bare hands, and Qin Feng hurriedly pulled Xu Mei behind him. There is no suspense between the four people and the dozen people, it is Qin Feng who wins.
Everyone had a blue nose and swollen face, and when they saw that they couldn't beat it, they quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Uncle, spare your life! Uncle, we all listened to Yu Likui's bewitchment!" a group of people whined.
"That one is called Yu Likui, and you don't know your own mother who was beaten by Lao Tzu. Qu Zichen asked.
"Uncle, spare your life! I really didn't mean to rob you! We are also interested in getting rich, please spare me!" Yu Likui said.
Qu Zichen was directly beaten again, and he could see that it was a person's face, but he really didn't even know his own mother when he beat him again.
"Let me ask you, which village or city are you from?" Qin Feng asked, "And how did you not survive?"
"Uncle, I'm from Wowo Township. Our village was robbed by mountain bandits, and only a few of us escaped after the men were killed. Yu Likui said with a handful of snot and tears, "That's miserable! The bandits killed that day, the old and weak women and Confucians did not let go, and they pity my 80-year-old mother and my three-year-old son!"
"Ahem, seeing that you are so pitiful, I already knew that I would do it lightly. Qu Zichen coughed lightly and said.
"Big brother, didn't your mother die a long time ago?" said the mouse with a puzzled face, "And you don't even have a daughter-in-law, so the son?"
Yu Likui kicked him.
"Okay, boy, you dare to lie to me, the blow just now was still light. Qu Zichen is going to get started again.
Qin Feng stopped him and asked Yu Likui again, "I don't count your mother, your son." Are all the bandits you said true?"
"It's more real than the sky! My second aunt, the one who died so miserably!" Yu Likui began to cry again.
"Come on, don't keep talking about your relatives. Qin Feng asked the others again, "I asked you what he said just now, but is it true, if you talk nonsense, I will beat you up."
"Uncle, what Yu Likui said is true, we don't dare to talk nonsense!"
"Do you know where they are?" Qin Feng asked.
"They are on Fengming Mountain, and there are a lot of mountain bandits in this area. Why is the uncle asking about this?"
"Leave it alone. Qin Feng said, "Hurry up, get out! If you have nowhere to go, you can go to Graphite City." β
Qin Feng didn't want to worry too much about them, they were also poor.
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle. Let's go, let's go. β
......
"Fourth brother, let's go to his lair. Qu Zichen said.
"Big brother, I thought of a piece. Qin Feng said, "Let's go to this Fengming Mountain to see how hateful these mountain bandits are." β
"Qin Feng, this ...... How dangerous!" Xu Mei said, "Those homeless people say that they are a group of people who eat people and don't spit out bones. Let's not go!"
"Xu Mei, I can tell you that we are martial arts masters, and it is not a problem to block a hundred. Qu Zichen waved his hand and said, "I once took the enemy's mobile phone among the generals and retreated." β
"My second brother can't do it, so he will defend himself, and my third father is okay. My fourth brother is just a little bit worse than me. Qu Zichen said with a smile.
"Okay, big brother, don't blow it. Shi Huanwen sneered, "I don't know who it is, I used a trick in Graphite City, but I wasn't blocked by the fourth brother." β
"Alas, second brother, how can you dismantle my platform!" Qu Zichen said.
"Hahaha, Qu Zichen, I think you can only talk about it. Xu Mei smiled.
"Okay, eldest brother and second brother, let's prepare to go to Fengming Mountain. Qin Feng said.
"Qin Feng, why don't you listen to persuasion?" Xu Mei said, "Just a few of us with thin arms and thin legs are not enough, where are people stuffing their teeth?"
Qin Feng raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Who said it was a few of us?"
"Who else is there besides us?" asked Xu Mei.
"It's the four of us, not counting you. Qin Feng pointed at the other three, "Don't worry! We don't do things that we are not sure of, we are very powerful." β
