As the name suggests, the two Zhangs are the second eldest in the Zhang family. Their parents have never read or read, and there are no teachers within a few dozen miles, so they simply chose such a simple and clear name. In troubled times, it is easy to make a living with a cheap name.
, this name might even be able to bless him.
Zhang Er was captured as a young boy because he was fleeing famine and was drafted into the army. He was the weakest county soldier in the Northern Dynasty army. His usual tasks were to maintain local security and suppress bandits. Of course, it was mainly the former, because they were allowed to enter the mountains.
I still don’t know whether they suppressed the bandits or the bandits suppressed them. Later, this group of county soldiers who grandma didn’t love and uncle didn’t love were scattered during the battle. Zhang Er’s team led people into the mountains to seek refuge without hesitation.
A group of bandits with considerable momentum.
Most of these bandits are defeated troops in the army, and many are even government soldiers. They are quite powerful. They have been wandering in the surrounding mountains for many years, and no one can defeat them. Now, they are targeting
We arrived at the small village on the hill opposite. Although this village is not big, there are excellent hunters in the village who can often catch the best prey. Although the village is located in a remote place, it is also well-known in Shiliba Township. Considering the surrounding
Most of the villages and towns had been looted, so this group of bandits targeted this village.
Something is better than nothing. Even if it is a hard-to-gnaw bone, so many people can still crush it if they rush up to it. The bandit leader who is in charge of command is convinced of this, and ordinary bandits such as Zhang Er are also convinced of this.
No doubt.
So many large villages and towns were reduced to ashes under their hands, how many waves can a small village make? What's more, their group of bandits are not ordinary bandits. Although Zhang Er, as an ordinary member of the bandits, is not
He understood the situation, but he could also vaguely feel that every time the villages and towns were looted, the local county soldiers showed no sign. This was definitely not an accident, and it was definitely not that the county soldiers did not even have the courage to do so.
After all, on the plains it is no better than in the mountains. With their large numbers and sharp weapons, the county soldiers still have a great advantage. What's more, if a group of bandits are wiped out, most of the materials of these bandits can be collected as their own trophies.
He said that the court would also give certain rewards, and even the timid and fearful county soldiers would swarm in front of this windfall.
But every time Zhang Er followed the others and rushed into the town cautiously, he always escaped without a trace. There was not even a shadow of the county soldiers who might rush out at any time.
However, although Zhang Er is not very smart, he can be a good person. He knows what should be asked and what should not be asked, especially in this troubled world. If you say the wrong thing or lose your head, no one will say anything for you.
, so Zhang Er has always been following the instructions from above in a daze. Anyway, money, wine, meat and women are indispensable every time.
For a person who even had to beg for a living before being captured and hungry every day, such conditions are no less than those in the fairy world, so no one cares where these things come from, let alone this fairy world.
Who is in control? Zhang Er thought. The other bandits had similar backgrounds to him, so naturally they all thought the same.
With wine, meat, and women, a person can do so much in his life, and he is already satisfied.
The surrounding villages and towns had basically been looted, so Zhang Er and the others were determined to capture the last remaining village.
The bandits were sitting by the campfire talking and laughing in low voices. A thin man jumped out and said: "Come on, come on, buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it, place your bet, place your bet!"
"Mountain Monkey, what's the bet this time?"
"How many families did you bet on last time? What are you betting on this time?"
"The monkeys in this mountain are so clever that they can't think of any tricky questions. I still remember that one time he actually bet on how many doors the second house on the left side of the main road in the village had. When he arrived, he saw that it was a toilet without a door.
He defrauded us of all the money we worked so hard for!"
After saying this, the whole crowd burst into laughter.
It was obviously not auspicious to place a bet on the toilet. The thin man said angrily: "Li Mazi, can you blame me? I wasn't the one who visited the place. I didn't know it before. Besides, it was just a one-time event."
, there will be losses and wins in the future, and you will also earn something, why do you keep holding on to that thing?"
"Okay, okay, Mountain Monkey, what's the bet this time?" A voice sounded, and obviously even the little leader couldn't sit still. One of the bandits' little leader was in charge of more than ten people, and everyone sitting around the campfire was
They were his subordinates, so the bandits didn't dare to say anything when their superiors spoke.
Moreover, everyone was watching him with the intention of watching the excitement. After looting so many villages and towns, he basically finished betting on everything that could be gambled. They even started to bet on which house had the most doors, so everyone was waiting for what Mountain Monkey would think.
A new bet has been made, and now the little boss obviously wants to participate. If this devilish mountain monkey shouts but can't think of anything, then he will probably have to be put in the shoes of the little boss in the future.
The mountain monkey raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face in the firelight became a bit lustful: "Then let's bet on how many women there are in this village."
"I've bet on this!" a bandit suddenly shouted dissatisfied.
"That's right, I bet on this for the third time. Don't think that I will forget it after a year!" Another voice also raised up immediately, and there was a chorus of agreement around him.
These bandits obviously did not expect that the people in the village would have the courage to take the initiative to attack, and they were in the dense forest not far away from them. In addition, they were in high spirits, so they spoke loudly, even when they reached the place where Li Xingchen was ambushing.
You can also hear it clearly.
In the darkness, Song Fei, who was next to Li Xingchen, trembled and said through gritted teeth: "These bandits are bullying people too much!"
"Don't move!" Li Xingchen stretched out his hand to hold his shoulders and said attentively, "Now we are just taking advantage verbally. If we act rashly, we may alert these bandits, and then we will not only be taken advantage of verbally."
.”
Sein Fei shuddered and lay down again. His whole body seemed to be integrated with the cold soil, as if this could suppress the burning anger in his heart. The young people around him also tightened their grip.
The guy in his hand tried his best to hide himself in the darkness, but his eyes were full of anger.
"Brother Chen, the front is ready," a young man ran over with his waist hunched. As a hunter who has been in the mountains for a long time, he knew very well how to hide himself in the dark and try his best not to make a sound.
The sound of wind and bamboo leaves have become his best cover.
This guy was one of the people Li Qiu picked, and he appeared here silently, which made Li Qiu secretly nod. Although Li Qiu was a little slippery, he still had a good eye for people. At that moment, he nodded slightly.
: "Do it!"
All the young people held their breath.
The young man who came back to report nodded sharply - obviously the bandit's laughter was like needles piercing his heart - turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Not long after, a flickering light of fire appeared in the darkness.
