Zhang Bao and Lao He breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was Hu Dugu.
"Ran?"
Lao He looked at Hu Dugu's expression and asked.
"Ran!"
"There is an official road ahead. There is someone on it. There is no way to chase him. We can only let him escape. But fortunately, our identity is not exposed this time. It should be associated with bandits."
Hu Dugu thought about Zhang Bao's masked appearance when he came out, and the sound of robbery, and looked at Zhang Bao with some admiration.
Zhang Bao now.
He is really decisive in doing things and does not leak any water.
"The next step will be a troublesome thing. We can't have these three horses."
"If we let them go, they will probably be able to find their own way back, which is not what ordinary bandits would do."
"We raised them secretly. The village is so big, and the villagers often go to the mountains, so they can't hide it."
Zhang Bao looked at the three horses with some reluctance.
There is no good solution at the moment.
"How about taking it to the county government in Linxian County and selling it?"
Lao He also frowned.
"never mind!"
"Horses are rare now. If the news leaks out, we can still be traced. Don't get into trouble!"
Zhang Bao shook his head.
"What should we do?"
"This has become a burden!"
Lao He was a little helpless.
"killed!"
"Eat meat!"
Zhang Bao said decisively.
"ah?"
"killed?"
"Is it really delicious?"
Old He looked distressed.
These are all good horses!
It can fight, pull a cart, travel, and sell money. What a good thing!
"right!"
"Before we don't have enough ability to protect ourselves, we will commit the crime!"
"Kill, have a good meal, I won't go back tonight, I will go back tomorrow, the reason can be easily explained."
Zhang Bao said to the two of them.
Lao He walked around beside some horses with a distressed look on his face.
Hu Dugu nodded silently.
…
Inside the county government at this time.
Zhao Changsheng ran all the way and rushed directly into the Yamen.
But he was told that the master was not here and might be in Zuihong Mansion.
Zhao Changsheng ran towards Zuihong Mansion again. When he arrived at Zuihong Mansion, he inquired and found that the county magistrate had not been here.
Zhao Changsheng almost vomited blood.
After thinking about it, I went to Yihong Building again and walked around.
Finally found the county magistrate.
"master!"
"Oh no!"
"problem occurs!"
As soon as Zhao Changsheng entered, he said to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was drinking and listening to music, feeling very at ease, but he didn't expect that Zhao Changsheng rushed in and disturbed the mood.
"What?"
"What's up?"
"You were so panicked that you scared me!"
The county magistrate waved his hand and drove out the prostitutes.
"master!"
"Today I have received news about the bandits and I will go get them myself!"
Zhao Changsheng said to the county magistrate.
"oh?"
"Are they really bandits?"
"How about it?"
"Did you catch it?"
"Dead or alive? What a good thing!"
When the county magistrate heard this, he was immediately happy.
He jumped up with a slap on his thigh.
"The living ones were originally prepared to be captured and given to the old——"
"What?"
"Live?!"
"Ah, hahahaha! It's easy to handle now!"
When the county magistrate heard that it was alive, he immediately clapped his hands and laughed.
Rubbing his hands excitedly.
As long as you hand over the live bandits to the top, you might be rewarded instead of devalued for your success in suppressing the bandits!
"Where are the people?"
"Have you been taken back to prison?"
"I want to interrogate it myself!"
The county magistrate asked excitedly.
"Gone!"
"Snatched by bandits!"
"We walked halfway, but we encountered a dozen robbers who rushed out and chopped down all our people."
"After my subordinates fought hard and killed two of them, they broke out of the encirclement and reported to you, Master!"
Zhao Changsheng said with added jealousy.
"ah?"
"Gone?"
When the county magistrate heard this, he couldn't take a breath and almost carried it on his back.
Zhao Changsheng quickly patted his back comfortingly, and the county magistrate finally came to his senses.
"These bandits are going too far!"
"I'm just spoiling them!"
"Which mountain bandit did this?!"
The county magistrate was really angry this time.
"This... Er, Erlongshan... and Qinglong... are right!"
"The people from Erlong Mountain and Qinglong Cave did it together!"
Zhao Changsheng really couldn't get over it.
Thinking of tying the people from Erlong Mountain and Qinglong Cave together.
According to the timid temper of the county magistrate, he probably can't look for trouble.
"It's these two gangs of bandits again!"
"no!"
"Go home!"
"The bandits must be suppressed!"
The county magistrate didn't know why, but he suddenly became hardened.
Zhao Changsheng was dumbfounded when he heard this.
I had no choice but to follow him back.
…
The days are short in winter.
Coupled with the gloomy sky, it was completely dark now when there was still light.
wilderness.
Wild Ridge.
bonfire.
BBQ.
The three of them sat around.
Overhead are the stars.
It gave Zhang Bao an unreal feeling.
This was the most enjoyable meal Zhang Bao had ever eaten since time travel.
Three horses killed hundreds of kilograms of meat.
With three people, it would be impossible to finish the meal.
They selected the best parts of the horse and hung them aside to freeze.
When I return to the village, I hide it in my clothes. Now my winter clothes are thicker and can barely block it.
It is certainly unrealistic to waste so much meat.
Take those you can take back, dig a deep hole and bury those you can't.
When needed, come out and dig it back out.
The three of them were sitting around the campfire, eating meat.
Although there are no condiments.
But for these three people.
If you can enjoy a meal of sizzling and oily horse meat, what else is there to be picky about?
"Oh, it would be great if we could have a jar of wine now!"
Lao He wiped the oil on his lips with a satisfied look on his face.
"When you settle down in the future, you can have enough food and wine!"
Zhang Bao said with a smile.
"Hahaha!"
"good!"
"Master, if you had said this to me a month ago, I would have pretended not to have heard anything."
"But now that I hear what you say, I believe it!"
Lao He said with a smile.
"By the way, Uncle He, how is your injury?"
"It doesn't matter if you're injured today, right?"
The scab on Zhang Bao's arm is about to fall off, and it will probably take less than a few days for him to fully recover.
"alright!"
"It's really evil!"
"Master, the wine you used before was really useful."
"Today's injuries are all minor, nothing to worry about!"
Lao He opened his clothes and showed Zhang Bao.
But he was immediately chilled by the cold wind and shrank back.
Zhang Bao shook his head.
The alcohol content before was too low, so I'm afraid it won't have much effect.
It is estimated that Lao He's body recovered on its own.
As for Lao He's body, he looks skinny, but he has strength and eats a lot. At least he is much stronger than Zhang Bao now.
Lao He and Zhang Bao were chatting on the side.
Hu Dugu, who was sitting on the side, kept eating meat and didn't say anything.
The flickering firelight illuminated his tanned face.
I don’t know what I’m thinking.
After eating and drinking enough.
Zhang Bao put his hands behind his head and lay down next to the bonfire.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful night sky.
In the southerly direction.
Three neatly arranged bright stars hang in the sky.
It's where Orion's belt is.
Zhang Bao was in a daze.
I had experienced starry skies like this before when I was training in the wild.
This is also the eternal Samsung Gaozhao.
Now we are in a strange world.
For Zhang Bao.
Accept everything now.
It's not that easy either.
Like killing people.
In the past, this was something that was unthinkable, but in these troubled times, there is no such thing as restraint.
Is this a good thing?
maybe!
If a person has a strong heart and strong strength.
In this troubled world, maybe you are at ease.
In troubled times heroes emerge.
But if you just want to be happy, it might be possible to have only one person.
What should you do when there are other people around you who need to be protected?
What should we do with these bonds that are impossible to break?
Only make yourself stronger.
Only then can we protect it as much as possible!
For Zhang Bao.
He doesn't have any ambition to dominate the world now, he just wants to let the people around him survive in troubled times.
But even so.
Now it seems like a luxury.
