Lin Xiao was thinking about how to negotiate with Gao Jin when she suddenly heard Gao Jin humming a very familiar song.
"I love you when you walk alone in a dark alley, I love the way you don't kneel down. I love you when you face despair and refuse to cry. I love you..."
This song is the codeword for those born in the 10s - "The Lonely Warrior"!!!
As the bandit leader of the Daxia Dynasty, how could Gao Jin hum this song?
Could it be that……
Gao Jin, like himself, is also a time traveler?!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao could no longer hold back her inner excitement. She stood up from under the tree where she was hiding, and walked towards Gao Jin while echoing Gao Jin's song:
"Go, are you worthy of this tattered cloak? Fight, fight, with the humblest dream. To the whimpering and roaring in the dark night, who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes!"
Lin Xiao's move attracted Gao Jin, who stopped humming and turned around.
Several gangster boys were about to surround Lin Xiao, but were directly persuaded to retreat by Gao Jin's sharp eyes.
There is no other reason, because Gao Jin has been shocked by Lin Xiao's humming!
"You, how can you sing "The Lonely Warrior"?"
"Because we are from the same world!"
"You mean you are too..."
Before Gao Jin finished speaking, Lin Xiao nodded.
Gao Jin's mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it for a long time. He finally realized what Lin Xiao meant, and his expression immediately changed from the dull one to one of fanaticism:
"Great! I finally found the organization!"
The two were so excited that they shook hands and hugged each other, as if they were sorry to meet each other so late.
Everyone else was stunned at this scene.
Where are the kidnappers and ransom payers?
They are clearly two old friends who have not seen each other for many years!
Li Yuyan and Gao Jin's bandit brothers who were hiding in the bushes felt bad.
"When did you wear it?"
Gao Jin took Lin Xiao and sat on the big stone where he had just sat. The two of them were side by side, looking so intimate!
Li Yuyan and the bandits' hearts, livers, spleens, lungs and kidneys twitched when they saw this.
"It's been a few months since I came here, how about you? How could you fall into a trap?"
"I didn't know, I was working overtime, but my vision went dark, and when I woke up again, it was like this."
"Well, you should be wearing a soul. Next time I have a chance, I will take you to the capital. There is a mother and daughter there who are wearing clothes."
"You mean there are people like us?"
Gao Jin was shocked again.
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, then changed the subject and persuaded:
"Brother dei, have you ever thought about doing other things for a living? Being a bandit is so dangerous! How many of Liangshan's heroes have good endings?"
"You think I want to be a mountain bandit? There are so many mosquitoes on the mountain that they bite me to death. If I had any other way out, I would definitely not want to stay in the mountain."
Gao Jin smiled bitterly.
"In that case, why don't you bring your little brothers with you and let's make and sell salt together and make a fortune?"
Although Li Yuyan would select some craftsmen from the army to specialize in making salt, she always felt vaguely uneasy in her heart. She still had to have a group of talents who truly belonged to her.
She and Gao Jin come from the same time and space. In this strange and imaginary dynasty, they are like long-lost relatives suddenly reunited, giving each other an inexplicable sense of trust.
Gao Jin was surprised when he heard that Lin Xiao was going to take him and his bandit brothers to make and sell salt:
"Brother, you are more capable than me. How dare you chop off your head?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, he knew that Gao Jin knew little about the Great Xia Dynasty, so he smiled and explained in a low voice:
"Don't worry, as long as the salt is not poisonous, you can make it and sell it as you like!"
"Is there such a good thing? Then I will definitely join! However, the group of people under me don't know if they are willing."
"Then gather them all. Those who are willing will come down the mountain with you, and those who are unwilling will stay on the mountain and continue to be bandits. If they are targeted by the court, it has nothing to do with you!"
Lin Xiao's proposal won Gao Jin's heart, and he immediately called a bandit boy and asked him to call all the brothers, and also invited Lin Xiaowu along the way.
The bandit brother was a little confused, but he did not dare to disobey the boss's order and immediately ran to the bandit's den to convey the order.
Soon after, the bandits came to the top of the west mountain one after another.
Lin Xiaowu also stood among them.
"Brother Xiaowu!"
Lin Xiao immediately rushed forward and helped Lin Xiaowu untie him.
A few bandits wanted to stop them, but were scared off by Gao Jin's glare.
"How are you, are you okay?"
Lin Xiao asked with concern while untying Lin Xiaowu.
"Well, I'm fine, Xiao Linzi, why are you here alone?"
Lin Xiaowu looked around and saw no sign of anyone else.
He couldn't help but become worried.
How could Lin Xiao, with his small body, escape from being surrounded by these bandits?!
However, the next second, Lin Xiaowu was so shocked by Lin Xiao's series of operations that his jaw almost dropped.
First, Gao Jin, the bandit leader, told all the bandits that Lin Xiao was his long-lost cousin.
Then he went on to say that he wanted to go down the mountain with Lin Xiao and live a normal life. Those who were willing to go down the mountain with him could go down the mountain together, and he wouldn't force anyone who didn't want to.
This group of bandits is different from the group of bandits in Yingzui Mountain who do all kinds of evil and are fundamentally bad.
Many years ago, they were all honest farmers.
When the sun rises and the sun sets, he rests, digging in the ground with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky.
But the taxes that increase every year are like an invisible mountain weighing on them!
In order to survive, they had no choice but to replace their hoes with machetes and turn grass into bandits.
Being a bandit is not as comfortable as imagined. In addition to not having to pay taxes, you also have to worry about the head on your neck all day long.
If I don't protect myself, I'm afraid that one day I will lose my life and my soul will go to the west.
"Brother, is it true? Can we really return to normal life?"
A young bandit leader asked Gao Jin in disbelief.
Gao Jin nodded heavily:
"Yes, as long as we follow my cousin down the mountain, I guarantee that everyone will live a stable and happy life."
"Big brother is mighty! Long live big brother!"
"Brother, let's go down the mountain together! We are willing to follow in his footsteps!"
…
The excited shouts of the bandits echoed throughout the top of Xishan Mountain.
Lin Xiao looked at the group of bandits with a smile, and suddenly felt that his decision was right.
"Let's go back, pack our things, and go down the mountain!"
Gao Jin led more than 20 bandits and left the top of Xishan Mountain in a mighty manner.
Lin Xiao looked at their retreating figures, feeling a strong sense of pride in his heart.
Where there's a will, there's a way!
She believes that with their assistance, her salt-making business will become bigger and stronger!
After the bandits left, Li Yuyan walked out of the bushes where he was hiding.
When Lin Xiaowu saw Li Yuyan, he smiled "That's it":
"Let me tell you, Xiao Linzi, how can such a cautious person like you act alone? There must be helpers."
