The village chief knows that walking in the mountains is dangerous.
If he were a foreigner, he would have died here long ago.
Fortunately, he is a local and knows where to go and where not to go.
However, despite this, the village chief also had a hard time walking.
Because such a long mountain road is not meant for an elderly person like him.
If we don't use oxen and horses, wouldn't this be exhausting people to death?
In fact, if the village chief carries a bag with dry food in it and slowly moves out of the village, it is possible to walk out.
But now...he is alone, with nothing except gold and silver. And there are many people hunting him along the way.
The village chief walked like a frightened bird. Sometimes it runs fast, sometimes it hides in the grass.
Soon he was completely exhausted.
"I can't believe that I have been doing everything in my life and ended up in such a miserable state." The village chief said with emotion.
He thought for a moment, opened the bag and took out the gold inside.
A small piece of gold is extremely heavy, and carrying it on the road would be exhausting to death.
The village chief dug a hole on the side of the road and buried the gold in it.
He placed a stone beside the pit as a mark.
Now only the jewelry is left in the baggage. These jewelry are priceless and light in weight, so they are very suitable to carry with you.
The village chief bundled the jewelry into a small bundle and continued on his way.
After walking less than a hundred feet, the village chief was tired again and panting.
He thought for a while: There may not be a possibility of coming back in this life. If the wind blows over, I still have to sneak back.
Even if you don't go back to the village, you can come here at night when it's dark and no one is around to take away the gold and silver.
So, why should I go to all the trouble and start hustling now when these things can be taken away at any time? Wouldn't it be too unfair to die from exhaustion on the way?
Thinking of this, the village chief buried the jewelry on the roadside. Then walk down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, not long after he left, he heard someone talking behind him.
It was the villagers who caught up.
"These people are coming so fast." The village chief secretly exclaimed in his heart, then quickened his pace and hid in the grass.
They are indeed the villagers of Gumai Village. Their eyes are like knives, and they are searching all directions to find the whereabouts of the village chief.
The village chief is a local and knows how to hide.
And these villagers are also very professional and know where to look.
After all, they had practiced many times when catching those women who escaped, and they were truly well-trained.
Now the two parties are competing. They are both industry insiders, and the comparison is who is more professional.
In the end, the village chief prevailed and escaped their pursuit.
However, the village chief was not very happy because he knew that there were still many difficulties to overcome.
After these people left, the village chief carefully stood up from the grass and arms.
Suddenly, my feet felt cold, and then there was a stinging pain.
The village chief turned around in horror and saw a snake bit him on the leg.
The village chief bit his lip hard to prevent himself from screaming.
He then tore the snake off and threw it beneath the cliff.
Fortunately, this snake is not poisonous enough. As long as we find the herbs in time, we can still save it.
The village chief limped along the roadside and began to collect herbs.
My head started to feel a little dizzy, and then my eyes became a little blurry, and I felt a little nauseous and vomited.
The village chief felt that his body was deteriorating rapidly.
See it, see it, the herbs are right in front.
The village chief saw the herb and ran over happily.
When he ran over, he could no longer see anything, and his eyes were dark and blurry.
He stretched out his hand and groped in the grass, and finally touched a piece of grass.
At this time, we no longer know who is the weed and who is the herb.
The village chief thought for a while, then simply pulled the grass and ate it hungrily.
Regardless of whether it is weeds or herbs, eating all the grass here will definitely cure the disease.
By this time, the village chief's mouth was numb. He had no idea what was in his mouth. He just chewed it mechanically, hoping to save his life.
After a few minutes, the village chief could no longer touch the grass around him.
At this time, he felt that his mouth was not so numb, or in other words, the numbness was not so severe.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes felt a blur of light, and then the light became clearer and clearer, and he regained his sight.
After regaining his sight, the village chief was immediately startled because he saw many people standing around, and they all looked at him with smiles.
He is a villager in Gumai Village.
It was a villager who had been bullied by him.
A villager said in a frivolous tone: "Patriarch, I never thought you still have this hobby?"
Another villager said in a more frivolous tone: "Chief, are you the reincarnation of a cow and horse? Why do you still like to eat grass?"
Someone else said: "Chief, if you like eating grass so much, why do you grow food in the fields?"
Someone else said: "No wonder the village chief was not thin at all in the year of famine. After all, weeds are everywhere, so you can eat them as you like."
Someone else said: "Village chief, can you teach us a thing or two about your grass-eating skills, so that we can also have a try?"
In short, these people are extremely sarcastic and will do whatever it takes to embarrass the village chief.
The village chief gritted his teeth and said nothing.
At this time, a villager said: "Forget it, it's getting late. Let's take him back."
The villagers smiled and took out the rope and tied up the village chief.
The village chief did not struggle because he knew that struggling would be useless.
I am old, and I am no match for these people with my two fists.
The village chief can only rely on his own IQ.
He said to these people: "Do you think that by arresting me, you have made a meritorious service? Don't forget that when you did bad things in the first place, you all had a share."
The villagers said calmly: "The patrol has already said that we have surrendered and can be given a lighter sentence. What's more, since we were coerced, the serious crime will be reduced by one level."
"Maybe it's just a slap in the face when you get to the Yamen."
The village chief snorted coldly and said, "How can you believe what the patrol officers say? If they regret it in the future, all of you will be dead."
The villagers said with a smile: "Then I won't bother you, old man."
The villagers led the village chief and walked toward the village.
As a result, they had just taken two steps when they heard the sound of horse hooves.
Everyone turned around and saw a dozen fierce men riding tall horses running over.
The villagers recognized the bandit from nearby and were frightened. They threw the village chief on the ground and dispersed.
When the village chief saw the bandits, he breathed a sigh of relief: "They're finally here."
The village chief's escape from the very beginning was actually to find this group of people. In order to find these bandits.
The village chief has always adhered to the concept of making friends with all parties and managing both black and white.
Therefore, he spends money like water every year.
Of course, the money spent is not your own money, but the clan's money.
If we hadn't spent so much money, how could we have ensured that the villagers would not be tempted by the outside world, and how could we have ensured that they would stay in the village obediently?
If we hadn’t spent so much money, how could we have ensured that the villagers would not be robbed by bandits?
Therefore, the village chief feels that he has made a great contribution.
The leader of this group of bandits is named Hei San.
Guys like Heisan are actually just low-class thieves.
He gathered a dozen people, and at first it was petty theft, and later it was extortion, and then they started robbing merchants.
In short, the harder it gets, the bigger it gets.
Later, he was banished to power and followed the path of merchants.
At this time, Heisan no longer wanted to work, because his brothers felt that instead of working hard here with his head in his belt and earning money, he might as well start a small business.
It would be too dangerous if the imperial court thought of them one day and sent a group of Qin soldiers to clear them out.
So, Heisan wants to be a good person...well...in other words, Heisan wants to wash his hands in a golden basin and change his evil ways.
But just before he corrected his evil ways, the village chief sent him some money, hoping that they would show their respect and not bully the villagers.
Hei San and his men thought about it and felt that this kind of life of getting something for nothing was more comfortable than robbing families and homes.
So, they continued to settle down.
Now they don't have to go out and rob merchants, they can just wait for the village chief to send money every month.
Sometimes Hei San also wonders, how come Gumai Village, which is so poor that he can't even put on pants, has so much money?
Hei San did not understand in the end that he was actually one of the reasons for the poverty of the villagers.
Once, the village chief sent a message to Heisan, asking him to find a way to rob several villagers.
Hei San was surprised at this time. He had never seen such a strange request in his whole life.
Since someone has made a request, it would be inappropriate not to comply.
So Heisan really went to rob these villagers.
According to the agreement in the letter, Hei San did not harm the lives of these people. He only took away all the money they had on them, beat them up, and let them go.
These villagers returned to their villages crying.
Later Hei San found out that these villagers heard about the prosperity outside and wanted to go out to work.
The village chief couldn't stop him, so he let himself cooperate and put on a good show.
Now those villagers are unwilling to come out even if they die, and they are all very obedient.
Heisan thought with emotion: As expected of the village chief, he is awesome.
A few days ago, Heisan discovered that the surrounding villages were different from the past. It got confusing.
Those sheep-like villagers suddenly became vicious, and several village chiefs or clan chiefs were brutally attacked.
Hei San was a little uneasy.
However, since he is a bandit, he is not that afraid.
He was just contemplating with his men whether they should be good now.
The subordinates said one after another: "Being good, of course, we have to be good. We have wanted to be good for a long time, but... isn't it a bit inappropriate now?"
"The world is a bit chaotic now. If the court strictly handles the situation, wouldn't it be..."
Heisan shook his head and said: "You see the chaos now, but actually it is very orderly now. There are patrols in every village, and things have never gotten out of control."
"Besides, we just need to go down the mountain while it's relatively chaotic now so that we can deceive the court and pretend that we are serious villagers and not bandits. We might even be able to get a mixed household registration."
The bandits all nodded: "That's true. We blamed it on the village chief, saying that the village chief concealed our household registration in order to allow the clan to pay less taxes."
Heisan nodded with satisfaction, indicating that this is what he thought.
After several people discussed it, they planned to set off.
Halfway through, Heisan met several villagers who were searching for the village chief.
Although Hei San did not display his own banner, he was a tall and powerful person, which was the hallmark of a bandit.
In the past, when these villagers saw it, they would run as fast as rabbits and disappear in the blink of an eye.
But something was strange today. Instead of running away, these villagers looked at them with hostile eyes, as if they wanted to pull them off their horses and beat them up.
However, these villagers seemed to have other important things to do, so they never did it.
Hei San felt a little unhappy, feeling that these villagers were really going to rebel.
After meeting more villagers, Hei San gradually understood what was going on.
It turns out that it was the village chief of Gumai Village who escaped.
Heisan thought: The village chief escaped? Well, when the village chief was elected, he must have brought a lot of gold and silver with him. If we robbed the village chief, wouldn't it mean that... we would have the capital to do business?
So, they led people along the narrow mountain road to look for traces of the village chief.
Half an hour later, one of his men with good eyesight pointed forward and said, "Look, everyone, isn't that the village chief?"
Everyone took a look and were surprised to find that it was really the village chief.
The village chief was tied up like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, impaled on a wooden stick, and carried forward by two men.
Heisan laughed loudly and rushed over with his people.
Those people hurriedly threw the village chief on the ground and ran away.
Heisan jumped off the horse and untied the village chief's rope.
The village chief breathed a sigh of relief and said to Heisan: "Brother, you are finally here. I was just looking for you."
Heisan said in confusion: "What do you want from me?"
The village chief said: "I am looking for you, so naturally I want to join forces with you to reorganize Gumai Village."
Heisan said oh.
He was thinking about how to ask the village chief for money.
The two parties had cooperated before and could be regarded as friends. Now the friends suddenly fell out and Xiang Fang wanted to lose everything. Hei San was a little embarrassed.
The village chief looked at Heisan in confusion and said, "What's wrong with you? Don't you want to follow me and occupy Gumai Village?"
Hei Sangan laughed and said: "What's the benefit of occupying Gumai Village? I'm so poor, it's better for me to start a small business to make money quickly."
The village chief said sadly: "Brother, you are so young, why are you so unambitious?"
Heisan: "..."
The village chief said: "If you occupy the village, I will allow you to plunder the village for three days. Except for my family, women, wealth, and silk, you can choose whatever you want."
Heisan looked at the village chief in surprise: "Choose randomly? Aren't they from your tribe?"
The village chief sneered: "They are just disobedient tribesmen. I want to teach them a lesson this time."
Hei San's thoughts immediately came to life: If he robbed the villagers and then robbed the village chief, wouldn't it be...hehe. .
