Shen Tang relied on his excellent hearing to hear the middle-aged man say a few words to several colleagues when he went back. Those colleagues also had the same worries, but Shen Tang asked the "housekeepers" to wait far away and came to "borrow" the flint. With water and food, they don't look threatening.
The final result of the discussion was to help.
The middle-aged man nodded, turned around, waved to Shen and Tang, and said loudly: "You two little brothers, come here."
Shen Tang put on an innocent smile that was ignorant of the world, clasped his fists at a few people and said: "Thank you all heroes, you are really helpful. Although it is not autumn yet, the night on the mountain is cold and windy, and we brothers have little clothing. I’m really worried about getting frostbite…”
The middle-aged man only felt that these two were squeamish after hearing this.
Young people have strong yang energy, and it is not the twelfth lunar month of winter. How can they easily get frostbite after just one night in the wild?
I thought so in my heart, but didn't show it on my face, so I took Zhai Le to get fire and water bags and dry food - a hard battle with the bandits not long ago caused them to lose a lot of supplies, so the dry food they could get out now There are not many water bags, only for two or three people.
The middle-aged man looked embarrassed and embarrassed, and reluctantly said: "Oh, there are only so many, little brother, please don't dislike it."
Zhai Le naturally wouldn't dislike it.
It is extremely rare that they have so many injured people and are willing to lend a helping hand to strangers they meet by chance.
Zhai Le was just thinking about how to delay staying. When he turned around, he saw Shen Tang sitting by the bonfire, talking and laughing with a few injured guards. Brother Shen's eyes were filled with pure admiration, appreciation and curiosity, which made people subconsciously His age continues to decline.
Brother Shen is not very old. He is not yet twelve years old. He has not started to grow at this age. His face is full of childishness and his eyes are too innocent and simple. At first glance, he would have thought he was under ten years old. Who would think of this person? Are yellow-mouthed children too wary?
I just think it's childish and cute.
Zhai Le: "..."
He always thought that he could speak well, but even Brother with his character would sometimes not be able to stand him and would tell him to keep quiet. It wasn't until he met Brother Shen in front of him that he realized that there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world, and his mouth will not stop. It goes on and on.
When Zhai Le passed by, Shen Tang greeted him.
"Brother, come and sit down and listen to the story."
Zhai Le was in a daze for a moment - if he hadn't remembered that he and Brother Shen were not brothers, and they had only known each other for a few days, but Brother Shen's warm attitude, familiar and intimate tone, and the sticky "Brother"... he really I doubt that I have such a big brother!
My brother and he are real brothers and have never been so close.
However, as a person who is good at seizing opportunities, he still sat down very naturally and said with a smile: "What story?"
When no one is paying attention, the middle-aged man's face becomes slightly stiff.
"This strong man told me that someone in his village met a raccoon demon in the mountains on a rainy night, and it was a male raccoon demon!" Shen Tang looked curious and longing, and he couldn't help but dance when he was so excited, "To repay my kindness, I gave my benefactor a mansion. I promised you fertile land..."
To put it simply, he is a lazy farm boy, his family is poor, he eats dirt, and makes a living by chopping firewood. One day, he was trapped on the mountain by heavy rain, and he accidentally rescued the raccoon slave demon. In order to repay his kindness, the raccoon slave demon not only married the man a lovely wife, but also gave him a gift. A tragic story about a mansion, gold, silver and jewels, and a woman who promised her body to a man as his concubine, but was forced to separate because of a different path. From then on, she misses you every day and never sees you again.
The core of the story is vulgar and false, but because the storyteller said it happened to someone from the same village and was very eloquent, it gained some credibility. In addition, the children who listened to the story had little knowledge, so they naturally listened with gusto. As crazy as drunk.
Zhai Le smiled - if this story is true, most likely the farmer dug up someone's grave and buried it with the owner to make a fortune, but he was afraid of being spotted, so he directed and acted such a "racoon" play. "Slave repays kindness" - still cooperates with Brother Shen's performance on the surface.
Shen Tang kept listening to stories, flattering and praising her from time to time. Even if it was a boring story, she would be surprised and satisfy the storyteller's sense of accomplishment. The flattering was so flattering that the wounded guards felt like they were their own. The wounds don't hurt that much anymore.
Where do you remember to drive people away?
There were seven or eight similar stories about goblins and ghosts. Shen Tang also appropriately matched their clichés and shook up all his "family wealth". The essence was summed up with a few labels - "Many people with money are stupid", "Prodigal children are rich" "Second Generation", "Dandy and naive are easy to deceive".
Shen Tang also discovered some interesting things from the information they inadvertently leaked - they were indeed the guards of the Lin family in Lingzhou. It is estimated that the Lin family was a wealthy family. Because of the war, the family moved south and planned to defect to a powerful relative in the local area.
What's interesting?
What's interesting is that Shen and Tang have not seen the so-called "family members" since they have been here for so long. They are all bloody and injured guards.
Of course, this may also be because there are too many people and belongings in the team, and the family members of the host family are elsewhere and do not mix with these guards. However, Shen and Tang made a lot of noise. It is impossible for the host family not to see it. Yu Wenli will also come over to meet you.
The result was nothing.
Taking advantage of her age and appearance, Shen Tang chatted with the guards. The volume was not too low, and there were no guards or maids to remind them to keep their voices down...
Although she had doubts, Shen Tang did not raise them.
Firstly, I am afraid of disturbing the situation, and secondly, I am also worried that I may have misunderstood.
then--
She thought about it and took the initiative to bring the topic to the group of bandits. Everyone had something to say when they talked about the group of bandits. They all gnashed their teeth with hatred and wished they could eat their flesh.
Shen Tang seemed to be trembling with fear from them.
In a tearful tone, she hugged "Brother"'s arm and cried: "Brother, the gangsters are so scary, we won't be unlucky to run into them, right? Brother, Ah Tang really wants to go down the mountain. If he had known this, he would have gone into the mountain to hunt." What, I miss my father and mother, wuwu..."
Zhai Le froze, his expression stiff and petrified.
However, this did not affect the performance. From the outside, it seemed that he was frightened by the bandits and worried that he would lose his life at night.
So, with a handsome white face, he tried his best to put down a soft and blunt voice, and humbly begged the guards to let their brothers rest nearby. There were many of them together, and the bandits would weigh them in when they saw it. It was better than being separated by the bandits one by one. Break.
This request made the guards hesitate for a moment.
But Shen Tang and Shen Tang, especially Shen Tang's previous performance, were too popular - what kind of trouble could these two young boys cause? Even if there is fraud, they are not afraid! Shen Tang was indeed lovable, so he agreed.
After receiving permission, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Because it was already dark, Shen Tang yawned sleepily, found a tree to lean against, and folded her arms to sleep. Zhai Le was not far from her.
The two of them were completely defenseless.
Seeing this, the guards completely believed that they were harmless and continued to keep vigil and chat. However, they did not know that Shen Tang, who seemed to be sleeping, made small movements to adjust his posture by sitting back.
She just heard an extremely slight "thunk" sound.
Something seemed to be knocking on the wooden board.
Listening carefully, there was also the rustling sound of clothing and wood rubbing against each other. Her eyelids opened slightly, and her eyes quickly scanned the large wooden boxes protected by guards.
