Chapter Twenty-Six: United!

The village is not big, and Gao Wu just turned around for most of the hour and had a preliminary understanding of the situation here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Gao Wu was walking aimlessly on the street with his things on his back, silently observing.

It is said that it is a street street, but it is actually a dirt road about five meters wide, but it is a little smoother and cleaner than other places.

There are not many shops on the street, only a few.

A tailor's shop, a blacksmith's shop, a grocery store, and a tavern. However, there are many small stalls on the roadside, some selling herbs, selling flatbread...

A rich aroma of barbecue mixed with bursts of wine entered Gao Wu's nostrils, which lifted his spirits as he walked. Turning around and looking over there, it was the only tavern in Qingjiazhai, with a big shed, and the tables were all set outside, and the guys and cooks inside and outside were busy with different jobs.

Dishes and wines made in the house are constantly brought to the table by the guys, and the guests are talking loudly and laughing.

Where is the best place to find out the news? Of course, it's the tavern, and there are all the people in the tavern. Where can I find the true news, and there are a lot of fake news, it is up to you to distinguish.

Gao Wu wanted to go to the tavern to sit with his things on his back, and by the way, fill his stomach that had been rumbling for a long time, and feed his gluttonous worms.

After a pause, Gao Wu thought that he had no money on him!

Doesn't it cost money to drink in a tavern? Of course, money is not everything, but without money it is absolutely impossible.

Gao Wu shrugged the things on his shoulders and smiled slightly, he actually carried these things all the way, and he didn't know how much these things could sell for.

The owner of the grocery store was a skinny old man with a goatee, dressed in a white gown, and looked like a very shrewd fellow.

"Boss, sell something!" Gao Wu threw things on the counter in a simple and rough opening sentence.

"Okay, little brother, wait a minute. The old man with the goatee said with a smile, his eyes flashing with the treacherous and cunning peculiar to profiteers.

...

"Little brother will come back next time!"

Gao Wu walked out of the door of the grocery store with three silver tickets of one hundred taels and one fifty taels, as well as fifty taels of broken silver.

"What a profiteer!" was speechless for a long time, and a few words popped out of Gao Wu's mouth.

It turned out that the old man saw so many animal skins, and he opened his mouth to bid two hundred taels. Gao Wu didn't think about it carefully, and opened his mouth to bargain for four hundred taels, doubling the price. Unexpectedly, the old man agreed without hesitation on the spot, and directly stuffed the silver ticket and some broken silver into Gao Wu's hands. Before Gao Wu could react, he was sent to the door by the old man.

Although he didn't know how much the goatee old man had earned, Gao Wu was sure that he had lost money. His own hides are definitely not worth more than four hundred taels.

Although he knew that he had lost, Gao Wu didn't care. In his eyes, the hides were nothing more than something to get in exchange for money, and he could go hunting if he needed to. And now he doesn't have much need for money, just enough for the time being.

Inside the shop, the old man with a goatee was stroking the wolf skin in his hand with excitement on his face.

"Look at this color, this luster, this touch feel, only the legendary wolf king skin is like this! This can be sold for at least 100 gold! And this bear skin, this leopard skin, are all good things! This time it is a big deal! And this white tiger skin, I haven't seen this little old man for a long time! What a big fat sheep!" (1 gold is equal to 10 silver, 1 silver is equal to 100 copper)

"God damn it!Who cut the white tiger skin in half, bastard!Who did it?!This is an art film!"

...

Not mentioning the sound of the old man with a goatee crying and shouting, Gao Wu turned around and went to the tailor shop, chose two clothes that fit, and only asked for two taels of silver. The light cyan power suit looks particularly energetic on Gao Wu's body.

In the tavern, Gao Wu asked for a pot of wine and a few plates of meat dishes and began to eat and drink. The degree of the wine is not high, about ten degrees, the color is not very pure, a little cloudy, but it is unusually refreshing to drink, and there is a faint fruity aroma. The portion of the dish is very large, the taste is also very delicious, and Gao Wu is really comfortable to eat.

While eating, Gao Wu listened to the sounds of people talking around him, and there was a lot of nonsense. There are also a lot of short ones among parents, and there is not much useful information.

After eating and drinking, Gao Wu called the guy over and settled the bill. Then he took out a dime of broken silver and put it in the man's hand, and asked, "Man, do you know where you can stay?"

The guy smiled and skillfully stuffed the broken silver in his hand into his arms, and said with a smile: "Guest, this is the first time you have come to this Qingjiazhai, right? Do you want to stay? I'll make you a better room. ”

"Well, open me a room. Gao Wu nodded.

"Okay, please. ”

"One in the hotel!" the man's muffled voice echoed through the tavern.

The room was in the backyard of the tavern and was a row of low wooden huts, about a dozen rooms. The furnishings of the room were also very simple, with only a bed, a table, and two chairs, a thin futon on the bed, and a candlestick and a tea set on the table.

"Let's stay here for a while, and find out what is going on here before thinking about where to go. Gao Wu muttered as he sat on a chair in the room.

So Gao Wu stayed in this tavern for the time being, and drank in the tavern on weekdays to inquire about the news. And just like that, three days passed.

On the surface, Qingjiazhai is still as calm as before, but in the mainland, there is a dark tide, and a depressing atmosphere has begun to spread.

As a big village that can still prosper so much under the oppression of Tiehu Mountain, Qingjiazhai also has a great reputation in the vicinity, and this time it is Qingjiazhai who secretly prepares to deal with Tiehushan.

These days, Gao Wu sat in the tavern, but he saw a lot of people from other villages coming and going, each carrying weapons. It's just that these people are very cautious and come and go one by one.

On this day, in the ancestral hall of Qingjiazhai, the village chiefs and patriarchs of each village gathered together. The village chief of Qingjiazhai sat on the top, and there were more than a dozen and a half hundred old men sitting below, and there were many excellent hunters and guards standing around.

At this time, these people were all sad and kept discussing something.

"Jing Wen, this is too risky! If you don't get it right, our villages will all be retaliated against by Tiehu Mountain!" said an old man in a black robe with a long beard shaking his head and sighing, a swaying light flowing from his eyes, as if he did not quite agree with Jin Wen's proposal.

"Old man Du, you have been careful all your life, what has changed in everything? The group of turtle grandsons in Tiehu Mountain have good wine and meat every day, and they are happy and happy; what about us? All the money they get has been paid for the capitation fee, and they may not be able to eat meat every New Year's Day!"

"You can bear it, I can't bear it, how can I give him so much money, he Tielong is going to force us to die!" This is a thin old man, wearing a set of cyan robes, and his expression is very excited.

These two villages are different from big villages like Qingjiazhai, and there are only a few dozen people in the whole village, and they are usually oppressed by Tiehu Mountain, and sometimes the villagers can't even eat enough, and their lives are really very difficult. There are hundreds of people in Qingjiazhai, and there are shops in the city that are specially stationed here. However, even so, these young families are gradually declining, and they can only barely maintain the prosperity on the surface, but the momentum is very small and it is not easy to be discovered.

And the worries of these villages are not unreasonable, with the strength of their villages, as long as dozens of bandits come to Tiehu Mountain, they can slaughter all their villages, and then the village will be destroyed. And Tiehushan has also done a lot of this kind of thing, there were two villages that didn't pay enough head fees before, and the whole village was slaughtered by Tiehushan.

"Alas~!" Old man Du sighed deeply, but the helplessness in his eyes was clearly visible. It's not that he doesn't hate the bandits of Tiehu Mountain, he simply wants to skin the bandits of Tiehu Mountain and eat their flesh, but he still has to think about his hometown! His village can't afford to withstand such a toss!

"It is imperative for us to fight Tiehu Mountain! Not to mention that for a long time, the bandits of Tiehu Mountain have been rampant and domineering around, and the villagers are prey, how many of our villagers have died at the hands of the beasts in Tiehu Mountain!"

"And now Tiehushan is getting more and more excessive, and it used to be just for money. Now he is not only seeking wealth, but also wants to rob people! Does he Tielong think that he is something, the emperor? Tiehu Mountain is a big tumor, and we can't wait for this tumor to get bigger and bigger! Moreover, it also has collusion with that group of dog officials! Relying on the strength of the imperial court is simply delusional!"

"You have all seen the arrogance of the Iron Leopard a few days ago, he dared to come to us with a dozen people to rob people, what did he rely on? It is not Tiehu Mountain! He did not succeed once, will there be a second or third time? If he succeeds once, will he come a second or third time? Can we still live if we don't resist? The Iron Leopard escaped to the forbidden land in the back mountain, and I don't know if he can come out. The people I arranged in the back mountain have not seen him in the past few days, and I don't know if he is dead or escaped. That Iron Leopard is Tielong's own brother, and Tielong will definitely not give up. ”

"You won't forget what happened in March this year, right? It's not the first time that has happened, and I dare say it's definitely not the last! If we can't eradicate it, sooner or later, Tiehu Mountain will be able to eat us all in our stomachs! If we can't eradicate it, we, never, will never be able to live a good life!"

After listening to Jing Wen's words, Old Man Du sat down on the wide chair as if his body had lost all its strength. March, how could he possibly forget. His son got married on that day, that is, on the way to marry on that day, his son was killed by the bandits of Tiehu Mountain, and his daughter-in-law was robbed to the cottage, and now I don't know whether it is life or death.

A happy family was destroyed in this way, and he thought of the villagers in his village who did not have enough food and clothes every day, and his expression became more and more excited.

"Bang~!"

"I'm in Dujia Village, join in, fight him to the death!" Old man Du stood up suddenly, and slapped his right hand heavily on the table, causing the teacups on the table to rattle.

"Haha! Okay! My Niujia Village will also join! Fight him to the death!"

"Just wait for your words, my Wangjia Village!

"Lijiacun ..."
