Chapter 44 The Bandits Are Coming
Chapter 44 The Bandits Are Coming
As soon as Li Wei and the others entered the shed, Gu Lao Er came up together.
"Mother, I don't think these people are good things."
Li Wei nodded: "Be careful, we will leave as soon as the sun breaks."
Gu Lao Er, Gu Lao San, and Gu Lao Si nodded repeatedly.
"Third brother, you stay with your elder brother to watch in the first half of the night, second child, fourth child, you two should be more vigilant in the second half of the night."
On weekdays, one person keeps watch at night. Tonight, Li Wei asked the two to take turns to watch.
Even so, Li Wei still didn't close her eyes all night. The four people outside always made Li Wei feel like she was being watched. She just hoped that it would be dawn soon, so she could pack up her things and go on her way.
But in Yinshi, Lin Dahong got up early to make porridge, drank a bowl of hot porridge, packed up his things and was ready to leave.
Jin Dahu came up again.
"My lady, where are you going?"
"Tongchuan."
"What a coincidence, my family is from Tongchuan, and we happen to be traveling together."
Li Wei glanced at Jin Dahu, then at the three men behind him.
"All four of you are from Tongchuan County?"
"No, Heizi and I live in Tongchuan County, and my other two brothers go back to the village, just over the mountain." Jin Dahu pointed in the opposite direction.
To be honest, if Jin Dahu wanted to say that the four of them were going to Tongchuan City, Li Wei was going to go back straight away.
"It is better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Since we are all going to the same place, it is better to go together."
"Our family, the young ones, the old ones, the weak ones, if we walk slowly, I'm afraid it will delay things. You should go first."
"No rush, we don't have anything urgent anyway."
It's all said and done, the road is not her own, Li Wei has no choice but to walk together.
The other two who returned to the village quickly took their leave and left in the opposite direction.
"Wife, where did you come from? See if you drag your family, are you going to Tongchuan to seek refuge with relatives or plan to settle down in Tongchuan?"
Li Wei: "We are also from Tongchuan, and this is going back to our hometown to move things."
"It turns out that Tongchuan is a good place, and Ji'an suffered a disaster this time, but we in Tongchuan are fine."
"En. I don't know where Mr. Jin lives in the county town?"
"Huaishu Lane, you can come to me if you need anything from now on."
Li Wei took a look at the map of Tongchuan County through the system, and there really was a pagoda tree alley.
However, Li Wei was always on guard against Jin Dahu, because he had an intuition that he was dishonest.
But now I can't get rid of him.
The more she walked up the mountain, the quieter she became, the more uncomfortable Li Wei felt, and she always felt uneasy. Occasionally, a few crows could be heard, which was even more frightening.
Suddenly, a group of big birds swooped straight to a small hill opposite, as if they were robbing some food.
"These are vultures. There must be dead people on the slope."
Li Wei knew about vultures, a kind of bird that eats human corpses. In modern times, Li Wei once went to Seda to see a sky burial. After a series of rituals, she fed the corpses to vultures.
At that time, Li Wei wanted to take a closer look out of curiosity, but was blocked by a wall, so she could only take a rough look and felt very disappointed.
But at this moment, on the opposite hillside, the vulture was tearing at the corpse, and suddenly felt sick.
Gu Boss and Gu Lao Wu also saw the corpse being pulled by the vulture, squatted aside and vomited.
"In this mountain, people are the most useless."
"Dead here, still want to be decent? If you die, you will be the prey of others."
I don't know if this Jin Dahu expressed his feelings or what, in short, he was very natural when facing vultures eating corpses, but his reaction to Lao Gu's family was somewhat contemptuous.
Li Wei didn't speak, but continued to walk forward with a sullen face.
She hates to face the laws of nature, as if she is laughing at the so-called emotions, pity, and even the so-called civilization of human beings. They are all jokes, excuses for self-evasion, and foolish lies created by a group of people for a certain purpose. Believe it All of them are fools, because the rules of survival in nature have never changed.
But even so, Li Wei is still willing to believe in the value of civilization and emotion.
But these things are becoming more and more powerless in such an era where survival cannot be guaranteed.
"Mother, mother, the road ahead is too narrow for bullock carts to pass."
Suddenly, Boss Gu's voice came.
Li Wei also recovered from her contemplation, stepped forward and saw that the originally wide road had collapsed, with a cliff on one side and a cliff on the other.
Not only can bullock carts fail to pass, but people must be extremely careful when passing by.
If it collapses again, there will be no bones left when it falls.
"Don't worry, I know a path that can be bypassed."
Li Wei looked at Jin Dahu.
"Are you familiar with this mountain?"
"My brothers and I often hunt in this mountain, so we are quite familiar with it."
"The name of this mountain is Yandang Mountain. Although the mountain is not very high, it is very steep. Except for us hunters, few people come here on weekdays."
"Come from Shima Town and go to Tongchuan. This is the only way. How come so few people go?"
"My lady doesn't know that there are bandits in this mountain, and the common people would rather take a long way than take the risk."
Li Wei was startled, there were bandits in this mountain,
"Don't worry, you are kind to me. I know you won't encounter bandits if you take that road. I will definitely take you to Tongchuan County safely."
Seeing Jin Dahu's sincere face, Li Wei was not only a little ashamed, but she had been guarding against him all the time, thinking that he was not a good person.
But I didn't expect people to have good intentions.
"Thank you very much then."
Everyone started to detour, and the road led by Jin Dahu was indeed much easier. With manual navigation, Li Wei no longer followed the system prompts.
But Li Wei kept an eye out, since there were bandits in Yandang Mountain, she turned on the system and sensed the crowd within a radius of ten miles. If a large group of people suddenly appeared, she had to be vigilant.
Since Gu Er Er learned that Jin Dahu was familiar with the way, he began to chat with people very familiarly.
"Brother Jin, how did you encounter wolves last night?"
Speaking of this, Jin Dahu sighed.
"It's also bad luck. It's been snowing for so long. I wanted to hunt something to increase my income."
"Who knows that when you go into the mountains and miss something, you will encounter a wolf first."
"Do you all go hunting in the mountains at night?" Gu Laoer asked suddenly.
Jin Dahu's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "How can we come at night, we came during the day, this is not without gain, and we plan to stay on the mountain for a few days."
Gu Lao Er nodded, thinking to himself, this Orion's life is not easy.
Jin Dahu looked at the basket on the bullock cart.
"I heard that Shima Town was hit by a disaster. Seeing how leisurely your family is, you should be fine."
"Hey, Brother Jin, you don't know, this time Shima Town is in great trouble. Fortunately, our family escaped, otherwise, I don't know what's going on now."
"You don't know, many people froze to death along the way."
"It's too miserable to think about it."
Gu Lao Er blah blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
"It's really lucky for you to be able to recover the robbed food."
"No, maybe God opened his eyes."
Gu Laoer also found it incredible, but Jin Dahu's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Li Wei and the others, why did he feel that this family was not like ordinary farmers.
At this moment, the system suddenly reported that there were 32 people walking towards Li Wei on the mountain ten miles away.
Li Wei's heart skipped a beat. Thirty or so people came down from the mountain. They couldn't be bandits, could they?
Looking at the surrounding area, there is nothing but snow and rocks. If the bandits stop their family here, they will definitely die.
"Mother, Brother Jin said that there is a very flat pass ahead, so I suggest you take a rest there at noon."
Li Wei was frowning, Gu Er Er ran over and said.
Looking at Jin Dahu and his brother, Li Wei frowned, feeling bad again.
"Miss, I think everyone is tired, why don't you take a break and continue on your way. At this speed, you will definitely be able to reach Tongchuan County before dark."
"There are bandits in this mountain, let's not rest, continue on our way, and rest in Tongchuan."
"Don't worry, lady, bandits usually move in the north, don't go in this direction, I often go into the mountains from here, I know it well."
Jin Dahu said very firmly, but Li Wei didn't believe it even more.
The system said that there were 32 people walking towards them, so there must be 32 people, and the system will not lie.
"Yes mother, you can rest assured that you have Brother Jin, Tie Danniang is already tired, and Da Ya, everyone needs to rest."
Gu Er Er was really tired, and he was afraid that Li Wei would not agree to rest, so he suggested it right away.
Li Wei glanced at Gu Lao Er, and secretly cursed at his teammates.
"I said keep going and keep going. You need to rest. When you arrive in Tongchuan, let you rest."
Seeing Li Wei lose his temper, Gu Laoer didn't dare to say more, so he could only continue walking angrily.
A group of people continued to move forward, and the system reported in real time that the distance between the 32 people was getting closer.
Li Wei finally confirmed that the two groups of them were heading towards each other.
"Is there any other way to Tongchuan?"
"Report to the master, your current route is not in the direction of Tongchuan, do you need to re-adjust the route for you?"
"Where are we going now?"
"Master's current walking route is towards the top of the mountain."
"Tongchuan should turn east from the mountainside"
Careless.
Li Wei was almost moved to tears by her own stupidity and gullibility.
The road led by Jin Dahu is probably a den of bandits
