In a ruined temple in Pingdan County, Nanhai Prefecture, Lin Ziran vaguely heard someone shouting in his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw a short and thin man standing next to him, shouting:
"The boss is in trouble!"
"Master, the officers and soldiers have entered the mountain!"
Lin Ziran, who was lying on the broken bed, quickly glanced at the short and thin man next to him.
At the same time, he said: "The officers and soldiers have entered the mountain? Are they coming for us?"
Luo Mazi said with a mournful face: "The brothers who were outside reported that a group of officers and soldiers were coming directly towards us. They must have discovered that we had robbed the convoy, and now they are here!"
Hearing this, Lin Ziran cursed in his heart: bastard!
He, Lin Ziran, was originally a good citizen on earth, but when he woke up a few days ago, he came to a different world and leaned over a bandit leader with the same name as him.
At first glance, this different world looks very similar to the 19th century on earth. It has already entered the steam revolution period.
But this is still not the earth, because they do not have seven continents and four oceans, but five continents, and the continents are blocked by sea water.
Not only did he travel through time, but he also became a bandit leader. Not long ago, this bandit leader led his men to rob a caravan.
This was nothing. The important thing was that after they finished robbing, they discovered that this was a caravan that helped officers and soldiers transport military uniforms.
He robbed a bunch of military uniforms and didn't say anything about it, but ended up getting into trouble with the officers and soldiers!
No, now the officers and soldiers have come to the door.
Lin Ziran stood up quickly and said at the same time: "How many officers and soldiers are coming? How far away are they?"
Luo Mazi immediately said: "There are more than five hundred people, and they have brought small cannons into the mountain. It will take half a day to kill us!"
Hearing this, Lin Ziran knew that it was impossible to force him.
They are just a group of hundreds of bandits. More than 500 officers and soldiers came here, and they were fully equipped with guns and artillery. They were impossible to resist. The only way was to run away!
Lin Ziran walked out and said: "Let brothers get up, let's leave here immediately!"
Luo Mazi quickly ran out to call for help. This group of people were all wandering bandits, the type who could roam the world in no time with just a rusty iron knife, a musket, and a bag of moldy dry food.
Therefore, there is nothing to deal with. You can run away immediately without any ambiguity!
But not long after, Luo Mazi returned to Lin Ziran and said, "Master, what should I do with those military uniforms? Take them away?"
"What's the use of carrying it? You dare to sell it to the officers and soldiers? Throw it away!" However, Lin Ziran suddenly stopped in the middle of the sentence and said: "Wait a minute!"
Lin Ziran thought for a while and then said: "Let the brothers put on military uniforms, and we will disguise ourselves as officers and soldiers and leave!"
Luo Mazi immediately said: "Master Gao Jian, if we pretend to be officers and soldiers, we will definitely be able to hide it from the eyes and ears of the officers and soldiers, and then escape smoothly!"
Lin Ziran glanced at him and said nothing!
The batch of military uniforms that I robbed must have included hundreds of sets, and the military uniforms, shoes and hats were all available.
If you put on the uniforms of these officers and soldiers and pretend to be officers and soldiers, you may have unexpected results!
After all, their current large group is too conspicuous.
All of them were dressed in colorful clothes, not to mention gangsters, and each of them was armed with a musket.
Anyone who sees it will know that this is a group of bandits!
They were so conspicuous, even if they could run for a while, it would be very difficult to avoid the encirclement and suppression by the officers and soldiers for a long time.
After Lin Ziran's instructions, many bandits were still a little confused, but they also wore military uniforms.
Hundreds of strong men were changing clothes in the deserted mountains and forests, wow, that scene...
After everyone changed into military uniforms, Lin Ziran ordered the remaining uniforms to be burned.
This is to confuse the officers and soldiers and make them think that all the uniforms have been burned. Otherwise, if the officers and soldiers find the remaining uniforms and find that the number is wrong, they will immediately guess that a batch of uniforms are missing, and then guess that they may have been used by them.
These bandits wore it.
After dealing with this, he led the people into the ravine.
About half a day later, another group of people came into the ruined temple. These people were naturally the officers and soldiers who came after Lin Ziran and the others. One of the officers led by them was seen looking at the burned carriage and the scattered things beside it.
Some military uniforms cursed angrily:
"These damn robbers!"
And the robber in his mouth has already run far away!
After hiding all the way and crawling in ravines for several days, they finally got rid of the pursuers.
During this period, their military uniforms really played a big role. Fortunately, they met several officers and soldiers, but they were fooled by them pretending to be officers and soldiers.
In total, we have traveled more than 100 kilometers, crossing three counties and entering Luohe County. The pursuers have long since disappeared, so we are initially safe.
However, Luo Mazi walked up to Lin Ziran and said, "Master, we don't have much food!"
Lin Ziran frowned slightly after hearing this!
The group of them had been running for several days, and in order to hide their traces, they burrowed into the ravine without having time to collect food on the way.
This resulted in not having much food left in hand.
And once food runs out, it will be difficult to lead the team.
These days, everyone is acting in a very realistic way, just to have enough to eat!
It's okay to hide and run around, but if Lin Ziran dares to let them starve, everyone will be able to make a living for themselves in less than two days.
And if no one under his command has robbed him, Lin Ziran will be very worried about his future in this world.
He knew from the original memory that this was a serious troubled time, and it was a troubled time with all guns and steam engines.
There are wars everywhere and people are in dire straits.
In such troubled times, nothing makes Lin Ziran feel more secure than someone with a gun.
So the most important thing now is to stabilize this group of bandits!
It's easy to stabilize them. You don't need to do anything else. Just have something to eat.
It's so simple, so pure!
In this troubled world, having enough to eat is already the lifelong pursuit of most ordinary people, and it is also the fundamental reason why they become bandits.
Therefore, he must find food in a short time!
Lin Ziran immediately took out a simple map, pondered over it for a long time and then said: "Let's go to Qingshan Town!"
When Luo Mazi heard this, he was a little confused: "This Qingshan Town is too remote, I'm afraid there won't be much oil and water!"
The Qingshan Town mentioned by Lin Ziran is located in the northeast corner of Lianguan County. It is surrounded by mountains to the south, hills to the north, and only a few plains in the middle.
Because the mountainous terrain in the south is difficult to travel, although the straight-line distance between this remote town and the county seat in the south is only 40 kilometers, if you walk there, you may not be able to walk there in a few days.
Lin Ziran continued: "The current situation, this remote small place, is just suitable for us to stay!"
"Besides Qingshan Town, there are no other places to go around here!"
They are now in the mountains south of Qingshan Town. There are no villages or towns around them. At most, there are only a few scattered families of mountain residents.
Not only were there not many people, but they also ran very fast!
These mountain people are very vigilant. When they see a large group of people approaching, regardless of whether they are bandits or officers and soldiers, they often just take the food and soft food and simply go into the forest decisively.
You won’t stay where you are stupidly!
Now the only place they can go to is Qingshan Town.
