Chapter 16 Mountain Bandits
"Oh, that's right, Gaolin Town..." Lin Yiran was still a little puzzled.
Jiao Changgen replied: "This battle in Gaolin Town is not considered a real war!"
"Isn't it count?"
"Um!"
Lin Yiran asked, "What does that mean?"
Jiao Changgen replied: "Ningguo, Pingguo has hundreds of thousands of troops. In recent years, either Ningguo's own city has been occupied or Pingguo regained its own city. It's so messy!"
"It's chaotic enough, so what about two countries?" Lin Yiran continued to ask.
"Wu State and Ling State!"
"Oh, what about them?"
Jiao Changgen sighed, "I'm going to fight too, but we don't know much!"
"So that's how it is!"
At noon, the sun shone fiercely in the forest. The thick tree canopy finally blocked some scorching sun. Sitting under the tree, Lin Yiran realized a serious problem, that is, she did not have salt to replenish her energy. The weather was hot and she kept sweating. Not only did the water evaporate quickly, but the salt evaporate also quickly. If the body did not replenish her salt, it would not only look swollen, but it would even shaking when walking.
Among this group of people, many of them had a small handful of salt on their bodies. Most of them died on the roadside. What should I do? She wanted to find a small town and buy some salt in the town and put it on her body. Otherwise, she would fall on the roadside again, but what if she had the money to buy salt? Lin Yiran was worried.
No matter what, her belly needs to be filled. Lin Yiran learned from everyone, went to the stream to catch fish, or touch snails, wrapped her belly with them, and fought for it. She only caught two or three white shrimps and put them in the pottery jar at Uncle Jiao’s house to cook together.
Jiao Changgen said, "Little brother, I have discovered that you don't eat raw food or drink raw water!"
Lin Yiran smiled unnaturally, "Yes, uncle!"
Jiao Changgen shook his head: "But you don't even have a fire note?"
"I...I'll go to the next town to buy...Buy!" Lin Yiran replied pursed.
Jiao Changgen replied: "It's not easy!"
Lin Yiran looked gloomy: "I know, I don't even have a penny now."
"Maybe even if you have copper, you may not be able to buy anything."
"Why?" Lin Yiran asked stupidly.
"Because of the war, not only are things expensive, but they are also not easy to buy, especially salt!"
Lin Yiran asked curiously: "Then you..."
"We bought it because we were lucky, otherwise we would have fallen to the side of the road long ago!" Jiao Changgen replied sadly.
"So that's it!" Lin Yiran breathed, survival was so cruel.
No matter what, I first pulled the grass roots and ate three river shrimps with salty flavor in the Jiaojia.
Lin Yiran, who was not full, did not give up as unwilling to others, and was still looking for food in the surrounding area. She sat under the roots of the tree and closed her eyes to rest, and thought about her future.
Suddenly, a scream came from afar. A sharp scream cut through the silent woods, which shocked everyone in the woods to stand nervously and solemnly. The small man quickly rushed to the top of the tree, looked forward, and shouted, "It's a bandit!"
"What, bandit?" The people who were lowered from the tree looked at each other.
Jiao Changgen quickly picked up his bow and arrow, walked to Lin Yiran, and said, "Do you want to be a bandit?"
"I don't want to!" Lin Yiran replied without thinking.
"Since that's the case, let's run away quickly!" Jiao Changgen asked the woman to pick up her son, and he quickly picked up the bow and arrow and entered a resistance state.
Lin Yiran quickly tied up his baggage and followed Jiao Changgen out of the grove. Lin Yiran ran and asked, "Uncle Jiao, what should they do?"
Jiao Changgen replied, "Someone is waiting for the bandits to come and arrest them!"
"What?" Lin Yiran was shocked.
Seeing that the little brother was strange, Jiao Changgen ran and said, "Does it feel strange?"
"Um!"
Jiao Changgen replied: "If you are caught by the bandits, as long as they can be used by them, you can have a meal in the bandits' den!"
"Then they..." Lin Yiran asked, pointing to the crowd behind.
“Everything useful can stay!”
"Oh..." Lin Yiran didn't know what it was useful. She followed Jiao Changgen to run forward without any life. Occasionally, she turned around and found someone behind her, and she didn't know if she was a fellow traveler or a bandit.
The small man didn't want to be a soldier, but he wanted to be a bandit. When the bandits on the mountain came down, he jumped happily, "I finally met it, it's great, it's great!"
The lame man asked uneasyly, "The bandit is not much better than the Jun Ye?"
"What do you know? What's the best thing about being a military master? You also have to deliver food and clothing at home. How good is it to be a bandit? Do whatever you want!"
"But will the bandits want us?" asked the lame man uneasy.
The little man replied, "Why don't you want it? We don't lack arms and legs, and we can still fight, we must!"
A small group of bandits finally arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw some people parked in the woods. They were bent over with a pleasant smile, waiting for them.
The bandit in the lead frowned and was about to say something, but a thin and black man pleased him and shouted, "Master Shan, there is a man with a bow in front of him, and a skilled boy."
"Really, fake?" asked the bandit with interest.
"Really, really..., Mr. Shan, if you don't believe me, please ask others." The boy looked at the others.
The bandits looked at other women and children, and they nodded in order to be kept by the bandits.
Seeing that the matter was true, the little boss quickly shouted: "Boys, hurry up and grab those two on the mountain."
"Yes, Brother Six!"
A group of about ten bandits heard the assignment and immediately ran to chase people.
Lin Yiran, who hadn't had a decent meal for many days, could it be the opponent of the bandits? After running less than three miles, she and Jiao Changgen were caught up by the bandits.
The bandit saw that there was indeed a bow and arrow on Jiao Changgen's back and laughed happily, "That's great, we have another weapon."
Jiao Changgen saw the bandits staring at their bows and arrows, and nervously protected them and looked at the bandits.
The little leader had already followed from behind, shook his hanging arm and said, "Don't panic, as long as you follow us up the mountain, the bow will still be with us."
"I..." Jiao Changgen's face was full of entanglement. Only Lin Yiran knew what he was entangled, but she could do nothing to face more than a dozen bandits.
Alas, there was no suspense. He and Jiao Changgen were caught by bandits, but they only arrested men, not women and children.
"Mr. Shan, I can go with you, but my wife and son have to go with you, otherwise..."
"Otherwise... what the hell do you want, don't think we will be missing you. If you anger the old man, you will die immediately!"
Looking at the arrogant and arrogant bandits, Lin Yiran immediately laughed and said, "This uncle Shan, Uncle Jiao said 'otherwise', and he is uneasy and cannot do his best to do his best to help you, Mr. Shan."
Shan Laoliu snorted: "What does this mean?"
"Yes, yes, of course that's what it means."
"I don't know if he dares, so follow me up the mountain."
"Then..." Lin Yiran looked at Aunt Jiao and Xiao Afu.
Shan Laoliu shouted impatiently: "What, there is food on the mountain to raise idle people, women and children!"
