Chapter 12 The Land Where Bandits Gather

The autumn wind blows across the endless thirsty land with a hint of coldness.

The drought caused the land to lose its vitality at this time. The goal was the endless deserted fields. Is there a foul-smelling corpse on the side of the road? Most of them came from the fleeing team.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, there was a severe drought in Henan, no grass grew, and there were no people living in thousands of miles.

Corresponding to this tragic scene is the relaxed atmosphere of Xiaochuan and the others.

Chen Xiangyi was riding on the captured horse, her beautiful face was full of happiness, she looked at Xiao Chuan who was leading the horse for her, and said softly, "Xiao Chuan, you can ride the horse, I'm fine."

"No, your bones haven't healed yet. It's been a hundred days and you're not allowed to move." Xiaochuan pulled the reins and said angrily. For someone as gentle as his sister, Xiaochuan treated her as a relative. How could he let her Dismount and walk when injured.

All the refugees looked enviously at Chen Xiangyi who was riding a horse. It would be great if they could ride a horse themselves.

Chen Xiangyi's heart warmed, she held the handkerchief in her hand, and said, "Wang Youcai, come and lead the horse."

Wang Youcai was stunned for a moment, and said: "Why should I lead you? Han Gang, come here." He was very unbalanced in his heart, and he was very angry with Chen Xiangyi's tone of voice.

"My brother still wants to take care of me, why are you so narrow-minded?" Han Tie curled his lips and said, silencing Wang Youcai speechlessly.

"Yes, yes, so much nonsense." When she was with Xiao Chuan, the gentle Chen Xiangyi looked like a strong woman when she saw others.

"Hmph, I see my brother is tired." Wang Youcai came over to take Xiao Chuan's reins.

Xiao Chuan smiled embarrassedly. Chen Xiangyi rode on the horse, bent down, gently wiped the sweat from Xiao Chuan's face, and said with some distress: "Xiao Chuan, why don't you ride the horse with me?"

"No need, Xiangyi." Xiao Chuan refused, and Wang Youcai and the others would definitely feel uncomfortable if they rode a horse by themselves.

Wang Youcai looked enviously at Xiao Chuan behind him, and sighed, "Damn it, Xiao Chuan is very popular with women, why don't I have a woman to comfort me?"

Hearing Wang Youcai's words, Han Tie laughed and said, "Look, there are so many women among the refugees over there, and you've found one too." The two brothers laughed together.

"Damn it!" Wang Youcai, who owed the rein to the horse, jumped up and said, "How can I find a refugee as a freshman in Ming Dynasty!"

A group of people laughed, and the tense atmosphere eased a lot.But as he walked forward, there were more dead bodies on the side of the road, and his anger gradually became a little heavier.

"Hey, I remember the last time I came to Henan, this place was still densely populated and urgently prosperous. I never thought about why it has become like this in just a few years." Wang Youcai sighed, looking helplessly at this place with no end in sight. the waste.

Xiao Chuan also sighed in his heart. In the last life, this kind of scene like the end of the world only appeared in books. When he went back to the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago and saw this hell-like situation, the feeling in his heart, It is indescribable, said: "I don't know when this drought will end?"

"Drought is not the most important thing. The main thing is those treacherous villains with ulterior motives who swept away the refugees at this time and disrupted our Ming Dynasty." Han Tie said, his eyes scanning the bones on the roadside, his eyes full of anger. Han Gang looked at his younger brother , sighed leisurely, and didn't say anything.

"Mobile?" Hearing this, he looked at the group of refugees behind him. Maybe in the future, when the situation is exhausted, the group of refugees behind him will also turn into a mob.

"By the way, Mr. Qin." Dare Tie didn't call En Gong like his elder brother, but always addressed him as Mr., and said: "The frontier is about to reach the border of Shandong, where the disaster is less severe, and I am afraid that we will encounter bandits who fell into the grass. "

"Yes, at the junction of Shandong and Henan, there are countless bandits, and most of the bandits from the two provinces will be here." Han Tie sighed, looking ahead, his eyes were full of worry.

"Oh? Why are there so many bandits at the intersection of the two voices?" Wang Youcai asked his own question. He had studied hard behind closed doors for many years, but he didn't know anything about this kind of thing.

"You don't understand that, don't you?" Han Tie's tone was a little disdainful, and he mocked Wang Youcai's ignorance. Seeing Xiao Chuan's curious expression, he quickly explained: "Where the two voices meet, if there is a mountain The bandits, Shandong, Henan, and the officers and soldiers of the two provinces are unwilling to send troops to exterminate them. Henan says that these bandits belong to Shandong, and Shandong soldiers should exterminate them. Shandong also says that these bandits belong to Henan, and Henan soldiers should exterminate them. They all squeeze here"

"So that's it." Wang Youcai suddenly realized and said angrily: "Damn it, these soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death are so cruel, they even evade their responsibilities."

"These bandits are familiar with the mountain environment and the terrain. Some even dress up as ordinary villages and annihilate them? Easier said than done!" Han Tie knocked Wang Youcai speechless with one sentence.

Bandits?Xiao Chuan shook his head, feeling a pity in his heart. He was about to go to Shandong, and he would encounter such a place. Looking at the two brothers, he asked, "What should I do?" Xiao Chuan, who is in the 21st century, has no way of dealing with bandits Method.

"My lord, don't worry, I will do my best to protect your safety when the time comes," Han Gang said loudly, his eyes full of firmness.

"No brains!" Wang Youcai whispered disdainfully, looked at Xiao Chuan, and said, "I've thought about this too, Xiao Chuan, why don't we run away from these refugees separately, if there are too many people walking here, bandits will definitely target us, The main thing is that these refugees are many old and weak women and children, and being with them will greatly slow us down."

Han Tie also nodded, and Xiangyi, who was sitting on the horse, said: "After we separated from them, the target became smaller, the possibility of avoiding bandits became smaller, and our actions became more flexible."

"That's right," Wang Youcai said, "That's it, and when the time comes, let's make ourselves look bad. We have the Han Brothers for the small bandits, don't worry, and don't worry about the big bandits, we can completely avoid them." They, just be careful then."

"No, no, these people treat me pretty well on weekdays, so it's not good to abandon them." Han Gang's eyes were a little tangled, and he looked at Xiao Chuan. When the two brothers had just taken refuge in these refugees, old man Li helped them two brothers. , Han Gang has always remembered this kindness.

The eyes of several people have all looked at Xiao Chuan. He is already the backbone of the team at this moment. Xiao Chuan has not received any favor from this team, but if he leaves like this, these refugees probably have not yet entered the border of Shandong. Xiao Chuan couldn't bear to be slaughtered by the bandits when he went to a safe place, but then he thought about it, even if he was with them, what would he do if he met the big wave of bandits in the end.

Looking at the group of refugees nearby, I sighed in my heart. I don't know how many of them can reach a safe place. This is such a troubled world!

Chen Xiangyi's heart is very soft, and she is kind-hearted, and she actually doesn't want to see the fate of these bandits. However, she cares more about Xiao Chuan. As long as Xiao Chuan is safer, she doesn't care about anything, and said, "Xiao Chuan, we Get away from these refugees, we have no ties to her."

Xiao Chuan sighed, seeing that several people had this plan, let’s separate from these refugees, even if they stay together and meet bandits, what can they do, he can’t save them, just when he was about to speak, a beep sounded in his mind The sound of dripping.
