They only thought that Ye Wu was a young man who was inexperienced in the world. It was true that there were many bandit uprisings, but these were two different things, with completely different natures.
The caravan boss continued to speak with a smile on his face and dropped the topic just now, but this time it was Ye Lin who spoke up.
Ye Wu sat there, knowing that he might have said the wrong thing just now, but he didn't know where the mistake was.
Obviously bandits are good people? Aren't the bandits he knows very kind people?
Whether it's Brother Long or Uncle Li...
There were many people who were prejudiced against them at first, but in his opinion, each of them had the right starting point, but everyone was prejudiced against them.
Speaking of which, I really miss them!
I don’t know where Brother Long is now or what he is doing.
While he was sitting there thinking about the things they had gotten together with, a sound broke through the air.
Ye Wu subconsciously raised his eyes.
I saw an arrow falling from the sky, with a pouch tied to the end of the arrow.
The arrow fell on the open ground, and the bag automatically burst open, and then a large amount of smoke began to spread, making people choke and unable to open their eyes.
"Defense! Be careful!"
Everyone in the caravan was a little flustered, but the caravan boss reacted quickly and spoke quickly.
Everyone hurriedly protected the goods in the middle, and a few capable people stood outside and took out weapons.
The Master of the Hall of Mirrors raised his hand and drew it into the void, and an invisible force enveloped them, preventing them from being choked by the rapidly spreading smoke.
Ye Wu looked around blankly.
The smoke was very thick, and there were constant coughing sounds in my ears, as well as the shouts of rock horses, people's shouts, footsteps, and collisions.
"What's going on?" Ye Wu asked.
"There should be bandits coming." Ye Lin explained.
Ye Wuwenyan looked at him and said: "Bandit?"
Thinking of what Ye Wu said just now, Ye Lin pondered for a moment and said: "There is no absolute good or bad in this world, you can observe first."
Ye Wu swallowed back what he wanted to ask and looked around.
"What's all this smoke for?"
"It's the smoke, used to interfere." Ye Lin said.
"oh……"
In the thick smoke, Ye Wu seemed to hear someone approaching from around him, but it was too chaotic to hear clearly.
Ye Lin and Tingting naturally stood on both sides of him. They could sense that someone was coming to the island again.
"You heroes!"
Ye Wu heard the voice of the caravan boss, who was shouting at the top of his lungs.
"We are willing to give out one-tenth of the goods, please give way to all the heroes! How about it?"
"This is the rule here. Because it is not an official road, there are many bandits, but in most cases, as long as you give out one-tenth of your property, you can live in peace." Seeing the confusion on Ye Wu's face, Ye Lin explained.
Ye Wu nodded, thinking that if this was the case, those bandits wouldn't be so bad, right?
Then he heard a rough voice.
"Cut the nonsense! We want one-tenth of the goods to be of no use! Either take out all your stuff, or... you can stay together! But well... we don't want anyone alive!"
The murderous intent at the end of those words was clearly discernible.
Ye Wu suddenly frowned and lowered his head. New confusion arose in his heart, and the thoughts he had just had were wiped away.
It seems that there is indeed a difference between these bandits and the bandits I know, but why?
Doesn't it mean that people will choose to become bandits when they are forced by the government to survive?
At the beginning, many people in the village said when chatting, who would want to be a bandit if they could survive and eat?
Therefore, even if the people in the village really go down the mountain to rob, most of them go to the government for goods. They only need to steal a part of it that is enough for them to survive. They will never take everything, and they will never do anything to ordinary people, let alone kill people.
.
But these people seem to be different.
They want to kill people.
"Heroes, it's not easy for us. Those of us who come out to do business are all waiting to eat! Especially in this Shuihua Fairy Lake, there are many dangers. If we are not forced to do anything, who would be willing to come! We
If we really can’t take out everything, then our whole family won’t be able to survive!”
"Everyone, please do your best. This shipment is our family's hope! Leave us some things, so you don't have to kill them all! Otherwise, our family will starve to death!"
The caravan boss begged hard, and the emotion in his words made people unable to help but feel moved.
But the bandits were not moved at all.
"Tch! What does it have to do with me that your whole family can't survive?!"
As he spoke, the surrounding smoke slowly faded away.
Ye Wu subconsciously looked around, but he didn't know where the bandits were hiding.
But judging from the sound...it seems to be from the bushes over there?
The caravan boss had a very ugly look on his face.
The other party had no intention of letting anyone go, so he was killing them all... A cruel look flashed across his face.
"Since you bloody bandits are unwilling to give us a way out, then we are not soft persimmons for you to manipulate!"
While talking, he first took out a knife.
In the caravan, many people also took out weapons.
It is absolutely impossible to get them to give up these things!
Without goods, their trip would have been in vain. In this case, where would they make money?
What's more, what he said was correct. Now the taxation of the Yehuo Dynasty has reached a terrible level. If they can't get the money, at least half of the people in the team will be forced to die.
Rather than being forced to die with your family, it's better to fight these bandits first!
"Brothers, it is still the old rule. If any brother dies in the hands of these bandits, I, Yuan, will double his share of money and give it to his family, and take care of his family's food. For our sake
My wife, children, and children! Let’s fight these guys!”
The eyes of everyone in the caravan were red, and they stared silently in the direction of the mountain forest.
They do this because they know for sure that once they leave, they will never be able to come back.
But at least the caravan they were in was fairly benevolent. There had been some caravan members who had sacrificed their lives in the past, and the boss would always give their families subsidies and funding.
This is why they are willing to follow.
So they didn't put up much resistance, but held their weapons firmly.
Even if you die, you still have to leave something good for your family!
Otherwise, if we really take advantage of these bandits, their death will still be a trivial matter, and the whole family will not be able to survive. What should we do?
Of course, since they came out to work as a caravan and hired powerful people in the team, it’s hard to say what the final result will be.
"What a bunch of ungrateful guys! Since you insist on seeking death, don't blame us for being rude!"
