Chapter Twenty-Nine: Returning Home Badly and Encountering Bandits
The caravan slowly moved away from Wucheng, and gradually the city wall of Wucheng was blocked by the leaves on the side of the road, and it was no longer visible. Luo Jiang turned around and sat down.
"Dead dog, get up. ”
Luo Jiang dragged the hem of his shirt from the top of the stupid dog's head, and when he saw that the stupid dog was about to speak, Luo Jiang suddenly thought that there was someone around him, and hurriedly kicked it.
Sitting in a car with Luo Jiang was a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked very talkative, and said to Luo Jiang: "Little brother is also going to Nanyang City?"
Luo Jiang turned his head and said with the same smile: "Yes, go to Nanyang City." ”
The middle-aged man looked at the package on Luo Jiang's back and asked, "Little brother, what are you doing in Nanyang City?"
"Defect to relatives. Luo Jiang made up a lie.
The middle-aged man smiled, "I'm the same as you, I also go to a relative's house." The daughter married in Nanyang Province, and her uncle served in the government. Hey, it's not easy to go. ”
Luo Jiang couldn't help but say: "Nanyang City is only two hundred miles away from Wucheng, and it can be reached in one day, so what's so difficult." ”
The middle-aged man shook his head, "It seems that the little brother is going out for the first time, and the two-hundred-mile road from Wucheng to Nanyang City is not smooth." On this road, there are often bandits, and all those who encounter this gang of bandits must leave all their belongings behind, and sometimes they also commit murderous acts. It's dangerous. ”
Luo Jiang's heart suddenly tightened, he never thought that there were bandits on the official road.
However, the middle-aged man then relieved: "Don't worry, little brother, there are many people in this caravan we are with, and it should be safe." ”
Luo Jiang couldn't help but shake his head, sure enough, the prosperous dynasty of Daqin Kingdom was only glamorous on the surface, singing and dancing. Peace cannot be exhaustive.
With chatting all the way, it was already fifty miles away from Wucheng, and the sun was also overhead, shining hotly. The people in the caravan were hiding under homemade shady tents.
The caravan men announced that the convoy had stopped for a moment, pulled the wagon under the shade of the trees beside the roadside, and then dug a stove to gather firewood and water to prepare a meal.
And Luo Jiang paid the food fee, so he waited for lunch to be ready.
Sitting down on a stone next to him, Luo Jiang untied the water bladder on his waist and poured a sip, and then gave the stupid dog a sip as well.
"Be careful, don't lick the spout ......"
Before Luo Jiang finished speaking, the stupid dog's big tongue had already licked the spout, and he couldn't help but slap the dog's head and scolded: "Silly dog, you have licked everything, how do you want me to drink?"
The stupid dog took a step back aggrievedly, turned his head to look around and saw that no one was approaching, so he whispered: "Brother Jiang, I can speak human words, and I am already half a human being, so you can't dislike me, otherwise I will be sad." ”
Luo Jiang laughed for a while, "Where did you learn to speak, you can speak one set at a time, don't say you can speak, even if you can sing, you are still a dog." ”
"Forget it, forget it, if you don't treat me as a human being, you shouldn't treat me. ”
The stupid dog waved his paws, and then looked at Luo Jiang solemnly, "Brother Jiang, I've been silent all the way, do you know what I'm doing?" I've given myself a name, do you want to hear it?"
"I'm hot, I don't want to listen to it for the time being. ”
"Brother Jiang, what will you call me in the future if you don't listen?"
"It's easy, fat dog, lazy dog, cheap dog, lustful dog......"
"Brother Jiang, you hurt me. ”
The stupid dog put on a heart-wrenching expression, "I'm tired to think of this name." My name will be Barcelo in the future, and there will be your surname in it, Brother Jiang, what do you think?"
"Okay, okay. Luo Jiang didn't care.
The stupid dog immediately came up, "You shout first, I'll listen." ”
"I know the way, I know the way, I remember it. Dead dog, go farther, you don't know how hot it is. ”
Luo Jiang pushed Barcelo by the neck and pushed him away.
Barcelona was about to make trouble with Luo Jiang, but suddenly his ears were pricked up, his nose sniffed, and he said to Luo Jiang: "Brother Jiang, someone is coming." ”
Luo Jiang was stunned for a moment, only to hear a loud shout from the woods on the other side.
Between the shaking of the woods, a majestic figure jumped in, there were more than 20 of them, each with a bare chest, a large piece of chest hair on the chest, and holding a simple knife in his hand, very terrifying.
"It's a robber! Ah, I've met a robber. ”
The people accompanying the convoy were suddenly in chaos, but the people belonging to the caravan had experience in encountering bandits, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't run, hide next to the carriage, don't escape." ”
But after all, some people did not listen, and they fled in panic, but the next moment they only heard two soft sounds of "whoosh", and two arrows had already stuck two of them on the ground. The rest of the people stopped in horror, too frightened to take half a step, or hide behind a nearby carriage. The bandits have come to rob the property, and if they let people run away in a hurry, they will not run in vain.
More than 20 bandits, one of them is particularly majestic, with a fierce face, and a hideous scar runs from the corner of the mouth to the ear. But at this time, there was a red palm print on his bearded face, and the palm print was swollen and high, and even the shape of the five fingers was clear, and he didn't know who pulled it.
Who would dare to slap a bandit leader in the face?
I only heard the bandit leader shouting angrily: "Today, the master is angry, and everyone is killed." ”
With an order, all the bandits immediately turned into more than two dozen wolves and pounced on them cruelly.
At this moment, even those experienced businessmen had never encountered it, and they immediately scared their pants. There are one hundred and fifty people in the convoy, but there are only seven or eight guards with combat ability.
For a while, the shouts shook the sky, and the convoy was completely chaotic.
At the moment when the bandits pounced, Luo Jiang shook the cloth bag behind his back, and the ring knife was in his hand, and then he quickly carried the bow and arrows on his body, and the three arrows wrapped in it were inserted in his belt.
has a weapon in his hand, but Luo Jiang will not be stupid enough to fight to the death with the bandits, just rely on these people in the caravan, in the face of more than 20 bandits, they can only be cut down, and whoever wants to see the road is uneven, and is designated to be hacked to death with a knife.
Although Luo Jiang has righteousness in his heart, he is not stupid.
Lowering his body, Luo Jiang kicked the ground at his feet, turned around and ran towards the woods behind him. He was worried about Barcelona at first, but the lazy dog behaved much more agitated than usual and ran away faster than he could.
"Want to escape?"
Although Luo Jiang fled quickly, someone was eyeing him. A young bandit about thirty years old, holding a bright and flickering Pu knife in his hand, chased after Luo Jiang.
Luo Jiang brushed aside the branches and fled, followed by bandits and thieves.
Compared to escaping in the forest, Luo Jiang is obviously not as experienced as bandits, these bandits can play several times their number of officers and soldiers, let alone a rookie like Luo Jiang.
The bandits ran like a cheetah, gradually narrowing the distance between them and Luo Jiang.
