Chapter 23: The Bandits
In the mountains, a group of men with weapons in their hands took refuge behind boulders, staring at the mountain road below.
These people were ragged, but they were very different from the beggars on the roadside, and their faces were full of fierceness.
Obviously, this is a group of bandits who specialize in robbing roads.
"Big brother, is there a big deal when you call all the brothers this time?" asked a middle-aged man in an earthy yellow shabby cotton jacket and poked the bearded man at the front with his fingers.
He smiled, "Of course, this is a big deal, the brothers are cheering up, if this deal is done, it will be enough for our brothers to eat and drink for two years, and after the matter is completed, Lao Tzu will invite the brothers to go to Tianxianglou in the city to have a dash." ”
Everyone applauded in unison, and the bearded man saw that everyone was very interested, and explained with a smile: "Do you remember the person who came a few days ago? That is a noble man from the capital, who gave us three thousand taels of gold, and let us make this deal." ”
"What kind of deal? Big brother, you can tell me about it too!"
The curiosity of the crowd was raised, so they asked questions.
Nonsense: " In fact, it's not a big deal, everyone should know that Bai Sheng was beheaded a few days ago, Bai Sheng was killed for treason, but his family was pardoned, the Bai family couldn't stay in the capital, and they wanted to go back to their hometown, this road was the only way for them, the noble man gave us five hundred taels of gold, which was to ask us to kill all the Bai family here, hehe, the brothers are in good spirits, don't let the fish slip through the net for a while, although the Bai family is a gate, but now there is only one girl army left, don't worry, if there is a widow in the brother's phase, you can be happy here, but I said ugly in front, these Bai family members must die......”
After listening to the words of the beard, everyone fell silent and looked at each other, and the man in the khaki cotton jacket was silent for a long time, and said, "Big brother, we can't do this deal?"
"What, what do you mean, third?" the beard glared.
The man in the padded jacket frowned and said: "Big brother, General Bai Sheng is a loyal minister, protecting the country and the people, resisting enemies from all sides, repelling the invading barbarians several times, and is the military god of our Great Qin. ”
A few people chimed in.
"He's a loyal man. The beard spat on the ground with a mouthful of thick phlegm, "Don't forget how he was beheaded, he was beheaded for treason." ”
"That's also being victimized by traitors, big brother, we can't do things that are scolded by thousands of people. ”
"What is the victim of a traitor, Lao Tzu doesn't care about this, Lao Tzu only recognizes gold, if you don't follow Lao Tzu, you can get out. He said angrily.
The man in the padded jacket was also anxious, "Wu Lao Er."
, Are you still a fucking man, I have long seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, how did our brothers swear an oath when they swore together, saying that they would rob the rich and help the poor, eliminate violence and peace, what the hell have you done all these years, do you go alone, do you have to go with me? I'm going to tell the Bai family, guard against you, the turtle grandson..."
Several men followed him and stood up.
"Good, good..."
The beard sneered, and suddenly stabbed out, stabbing the man in the padded jacket.
"That's what I want to do to get rich. The beard kicked the man in the cotton jacket and faced the rest of the people, "Do you want to follow in his footsteps?" or follow Lao Tzu to eat and drink spicy food, you can choose for yourself." ”
Those people looked at the man in the padded jacket who fell to the ground and twitched himself, shrunk his head, and chose the latter.
The bandits re-ambushed and began to set up mechanisms, just waiting for the Bai family to arrive.
"I'm worried about going there to find a dead body, now there is a ready-made one, so I'll play a scene of selling myself to bury my father for the Bai family. ”
At this moment, a lazy voice came from behind.
When everyone turned around, they saw a teenager in tattered clothes leaning on a big rock in the upwind outlet, holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and his face was full of banter.
"The little bastard from there, the eighth bastard, went to bear him, and tonight he will drink this kid's heart and liver. The bearded man smirked and ordered a man behind him.
"Great!"
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked thief shook the long knife in his hand and slowly walked towards the young man.
"Monkey, be sharp, don't plant it in the hands of this baby. ”
"Hehe, monkey, what are you shaking in your hands, are you afraid?"
"This kid has fine skin and tender meat, you can be a rabbit master, I said monkey, don't pity the jade. ”
A group of bandits started to laugh.
The sharp-beaked monkey cheek thief spat fiercely, "It's all for my lord, my eyes are wide open, look at the Deception Sword Technique I just learned, and scare your dog guts."
"Ahh
The screams echoed through the mountains, startling the birds.
......
Mountain roadside.
Li Ling placed the corpses of a few kind-looking bandits on the side of the road, and found some hay and placed them on this person.
"Damn, let you old boys take advantage. ”
He knelt on the side of the road, looked at the corpse beneath him, coughed, cleared his throat, prepared for a rehearsal, and howled.
"I'm so pitiful, sell myself to bury the whole family, which kind uncle is good, give the villain a few taels of silver to let me bury the whole family, for the rest of my life, the kid is willing to be a cow and a horse, and the grass and rings are waiting for you..."
The crying is called a miserable, it is really sad for the hearer, and the cry for the listener makes people sigh.
He shouted a few times with his throat in his voice, he felt good about himself, this acting skill, if it was placed in his previous life, he would properly kill a lot of little fresh meat in seconds.
After about half an hour, there was a sound of wheeling, and it was the Bai family's convoy that arrived.
Li Ling immediately cried loudly, attracting the attention of the Bai family.
Bai Qi came forward to ask Li Ling what happened, and Li Ling told the story that he had already thought of, "The hometown has been suffering from drought and plague for many years, and he fled with his father, uncle and others. ”
His pitiful background really made the Bai family feel compassionate, and at the moment, Bai Qi and others helped Li Ling bury a group of thieves, and Li Ling was inevitably in the meantime
A howling cry.
Before the end, Bai Qi took out ten taels of silver under the instruction of Liu Lao Taijun and asked Li Ling to go home.
Li Ling originally wanted to get involved in the Bai family, but he was willing to accept this money, crying that he no longer had any relatives in the family, and it would be a dead end to go back, and begged the Bai family to be kind enough to take him in, he originally intended to be a cow and a horse in the Bai family.
Li Ling naturally became a subordinate of the Bai family and followed the convoy towards Zoucheng.
"In the future, I will protect the Bai family here for five years! ”
Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his mind, and fell asleep on the bumpy carriage.
