38, life-saving grace

There was silence in the woods.

The middle-aged woman looked at the middle-aged man and frowned and said, "Brother, no one."

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Could it be that he really heard it wrong?

Just when I was about to say something, I heard a chuckle coming from the forest. A slender figure fell from a tree not far away, "Zheng Village Master, I have a good ear."

The few people on the opposite side looked at each other vigilantly, but were stunned again the next moment. It was a boy who looked only twelve or thirteen years old. The boy looked a little thin and thin, and his skin was slightly sallow. If he didn't look at his eyes and the sudden appearance, it would almost make people think that this was an ordinary sick boy.

The middle-aged man looked carefully at the boy in front of him, "Little brother, are you helping me just now?"

Chu Ling turned his head and looked at the people in front of him with a smile, and said, "Why? Don't believe it?"

"No." The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Thank you little brother for your righteous actions."

"Brother..." Another man couldn't help but shout. This young boy was really the one who helped them? Why did he not believe it?

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the little brother can keep up with us all the way, which is enough to prove his ability. If he hadn't been there, we might have finished today."

The man couldn't help but mutter, "Who knows if he is a spy from the Clan, deliberately..."

"The third brother!" the middle-aged man said unhappily.

The man was obviously very convinced by this elder brother, and when he saw that he was like this, he stopped talking and stopped saying anything.

The middle-aged man then looked at Chu Ling and bowed: "Zheng thanks my little brother for helping me. I will never thank you for your great kindness. If there is anything Zheng can do, the little brother will just speak, and Zheng will never refuse."

Chu Ling looked at the middle-aged man and saw that he looked sincere and without any urgency. He smiled and said, "That's it... my master wants me to go down the mountain to experience it. I have lived alone in the mountain for a long time and it's not fun, so I plan to take it in. I also ask the Master Zheng to take it in."

"..." Everyone was speechless. The boy saved them just to try what it feels like to be a bandit?

Chu Ling blinked and said in confusion: "What's wrong? Is this awkward to the village leader?"

The middle-aged man came to his senses and shook his head and said, "It's not a pity. The little brother has saved our brothers. If you don't dislike it, it's better for everyone to become sworn brothers? From now on, the little brother will be the leader of the fifth village of our Heilong Village!"

"Brother!"

"..." The bandit leader always expresses his thinking like this? He casually recruits people to become sworn brothers? If she refuses, would she be beaten to death? Well, no, at their age, shouldn't he accept him as his adopted son and let her live the addiction to the young camp leader?

Well, she is not interested in being a son.

"In this way, it's better to obey your orders than to be respectful." Chu Ling bowed with a smile: "Little brother Ling Chu, I've seen brother."

Chu Ling exchanged three bottles of medicine that he had spent more than half a month to make for the identity of the leader of the five villages in Heilong Village. He felt that the deal was very cost-effective.

Heilong Village is seventy or eighty miles away from Xinzhou City, and there are at least twenty or thirty miles of mountain roads. Chu Ling followed his group all the way to Heilong Village, and he understood why Heilong Village has existed in Xinzhou for so many years but has not been wiped out. There is only 18 bends of the mountain road, and no one is accidentally in the Central Plains people who are going to be confused in the mountains, let alone the Celestial tribesmen. If they must be wiped out, the Celestial tribesmen will naturally not be able to destroy these villages, but if the price is too high, it would be too unprofitable.

These bandits just robbed some things, and they did not dare to do anything outside. But if they sent troops into the mountains to destroy Heilongzhai, there would be no shortage of people who lost their losses. With the thinking of the people of the Clan, not to mention one for three, even one for ten, it would not be worth it. As for those Southern Army, which can be said to have no combat power, the Clans looked down on them at all, and they did not use any effort at all. They gave up after returning in a few defeats.

Today, Qi is still on the other side of the Lingcang River. The ambition of the people of the Chuang tribe is to unify the world, not to deal with a group of unfamiliar bandits.

Chu Ling also learned about the information of the people in the Heilong Village along the way. There are now five or six hundred people in the Heilong Village, but the combat power can be used is only two or three hundred. Most of the remaining ones are old, weak, women and children. The leader of the village was named Zheng Luo, and he is thirty-three this year. It is said that he was originally an escort, but after the Clans captured the northern part of the Central Plains, the escort agency of the Zheng village was directly slaughtered by the Clans. Zheng Luo, who was only in his twenties at the time, was protected by his father and escaped from heaven. He was wandering in the rivers and lakes for a few years and then fell into the grass.

The second leader of Heilong Village is the middle-aged woman named Ye Jingniao, but everyone in the village calls her the second leader of Ye Erniang. Ye Erniang has a gentle name, and she is indeed a gentle person. Although she is now full of sharp temperament, she is a serious lady of a famous family ten years ago. Ye Erniang was only seventeen years old when the Feng clan entered the pass, and the one who was in charge of the family was her own brother. Unfortunately, her brother was a corrupt, and the people of the Feng clan rushed to surrender as soon as they entered the pass. They also wanted to give Ye Erniang, who was already engaged, to a hundred households of the Feng clan as a concubine. Ye Erniang's fiancé was beaten to death by the Feng clan members in order to seek justice. Ye Erniang found an opportunity to escape from the house. It is said that her original name was not Jingniao. These two words were chosen by her fiancé for her, and the two were going to get married. Of course, Chu Ling only found these things later.

The three village masters were the man who had questioned Chu Ling before, named Dou Yang. He looked like a literati, but he showed no mercy when he cut off the person. Chu Ling felt that this person was very suspicious, but he told her these things. Chu Ling had to suspect that what this person should have told her was fake news, so take the opportunity to test her?

As for the four camp leaders, they did not follow him this time, and they were named Di Jun, who was only twenty-four years old this year.

After Dou Yang finished speaking this, he looked at Chu Ling meaningfully, "Fifth brother, now you know all of us brothers. Should you tell us about your affairs?"

Chu Ling smiled at him innocently and said, "What the third brother said is that my surname is Ling, my name is Chu, a native of Liangzhou, and I am thirteen years old this year."

Dou Yang looked at Chu Ling, "Thirteen years old?"

Chu Ling laughed dryly, "Isn't life a hard time?" I know I'm short, but I will grow taller soon.

Zheng Luo, who had not spoken, responded: "No, right? Now in this world... it must be difficult for the fifth brother to be alone."

Dou Yang glanced at his elder brother and didn't say anything. No one was born alone. This little devil said that he didn't say anything. Chu Ling was depressed. He didn't have any household registration and ID cards these days. Do you have to ask me to compile a long list of miserable life experiences that touched the sky and made you feel at ease?

This lie... the more you tell, the harder it will be to complete the lie in the future. So let's forget it.

So, he smiled well at Dou Yang, and Chu Ling turned around and talked to Ye Erniang. His typical look was "not afraid of boiling water". Dou Yang was so angry that he looked a little funny. Zheng Luo looked at him and comforted him: "Okay, third brother and fifth brother are still young, so don't make trouble with him. Who has no secret of being indescribable?"

He didn't know what his third brother was worried about? But his fifth brother saved the lives of their group of people in real terms, and he didn't feel any hostility. Even if his origin is unknown and a child is just a child, at worst they can pay attention to it.

Seeing Zheng Luo say this, Dou Yang had to give up.
