"Hero, you are a great hero, just join us! Don't worry, when the time comes when you say go east, I, Ge Niu'er, will never go west." A bandit said in the crowd.

"Only when a hero like you comes here, we won't be bullied by others at any time." Another bandit said next to him.

Looking at the expectant looks of these bandits, Ye Ying finally made up his mind to go to the so-called Flying Eagle Club. Rather than being a gangster in other big bandit villages, it would be better to join this small group of bandits.

Come freely.

"Okay, I'll go over and take a look, but let me make it clear first. If I'm not satisfied, I will leave at any time." Ye Ying was not a person who was procrastinating, and he made a decision quickly.

What Ye Ying didn't expect was that when he said these words, all the bandits cheered. At the same time as he was surprised, he also felt a hint of joy at being taken seriously.

Hearing that Ye Ying agreed to go to the cottage, all the bandits became happy. Some of them were helping Ye Ying get things, and some of them went to lead the black horse. In this way, surrounded by the bandits, Ye Ying followed a group of bandits toward the depths of the mountain.

Go.

Everyone walked forward, chatting non-stop. Only then did Ye Ying finally get a rough idea of ​​the situation of the Flying Eagle Society bandits.

Rather than saying that the Flying Eagle Society is a group of bandits, it is better to say that they are refugees who fled into the mountains. Most of the bandits in the Flying Eagle Society are common people from Gejiazhuang, fifty miles away from here.

Because of the exploitation of the rich and the oppression of the government, the people of Gejia Village have been living without food or clothing. Some time ago, the government wanted to increase the tax burden, and most people in the village really couldn't afford it.

In order to avoid being imprisoned, the villagers, led by the village chief Ge Shun, simply fled to the mountains and established the Flying Eagle Society.

Speaking of the reason why Feiyunhui got its name, it has something to do with Ye Ying. Because this area was once the place where the Fierce Eagle Army fought. Many people here were taken care of by the Fierce Eagle Army. Many of them are grateful to the Fierce Eagle Army.

The villagers of Gejia Village are typical representatives of this kind of kindness.

When establishing the village, Ge Shun, who had transformed from village chief to head of the village, decided to name the village the Flying Eagle Society without hesitation.

They thought that after becoming a bandit, they could live a life of eating meat and drinking heavily. However, after a period of time, Ge Shun and others discovered that their life was not much better than before.

The bandits in the Flying Eagle Society are almost all transformed from villagers. They are kind-hearted and generally do not rob poor people's things. The rich usually hire bodyguards, and their valuables are escorted by the bodyguard bureau.

Ge Shun and his men were so powerful that they could bully businessmen or ordinary people walking alone, but they did not dare to attack those who had a little bit of skill.

Not being able to grab much, everyone had to open up wasteland and farm in the mountains, hoping to make a living, but they were still too optimistic about the situation in the mountains.

More than twenty miles away from the Flying Eagle Society, there is a Fuhu Village. There are two to three hundred bandits in the village. The bandit leader is named Yue Tianpeng, who calls himself King Fuhu.

Yue Tianpeng, the Fuhu King, is cruel and greedy by nature. In addition to robbing the passing people, he also doesn't let go of the small groups of bandits in the surrounding area. He often makes them pay the so-called "protection fee", which is actually a disguised form of robbery.

Soon after the Flying Eagle Club settled here, Yue Tianpeng sent someone to announce to them that the Flying Eagle Club must pay a fee of ten taels of silver every quarter, otherwise they would send people to attack. How dare the Flying Eagle Club, which is composed of ordinary people,

In order to compete with the powerful Fuhu Village, we had to accept this very unreasonable request.

In the past, at the end of each season, Ge Shun and others had scraped together things here and there, and were finally able to scrape together the relevant expenses. However, this time, the crops planted in the mountains failed due to drought, and nothing valuable was robbed.

The time to pay the protection fee was not far away, so they had no choice but to take risks and try to go down the mountain to grab something.

If they had seen young men like Ye Ying armed with weapons, Ge Shun and others might not have dared to take action, but this time there was really no other way and they had no choice but to take the risk.

Ge Shunman thought that with his pair of sledgehammers, he could scare Ye Ying and easily obtain some property. Unexpectedly, he encountered a tough fight this time, which led to the following events.

Everyone walked and talked, and time passed relatively quickly. Within two hours of walking in the mountains, Feiyinghui Village, which was deep in the valley, appeared in front of Ye Ying.

Ye Ying was immediately dumbfounded when he saw the so-called Feiyinghui cottage, and even had the idea of ​​turning around and leaving immediately, but after thinking about it, he decided to go to the cottage to have a look.

Rather than saying that this is a bandit village, it is better to say that this is a poor village. Most of the buildings in the village are made of thatch, and they are sparsely built in the gentle areas of the mountains.

There are no protection measures around the cottage, not even a simple wooden fence. Not to mention preventing attacks by officers, soldiers and other bandits, such a cottage may not be able to defend itself even when wild beasts come.

On the hillside, there are sloping fields that have been reclaimed by everyone, and crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes are planted in them. However, because the land in the mountains is really barren, these crops are not growing well, and the harvest seems to be very low.

Looking from a distance, there seems to be some fences made of bamboo and wood behind the village. It is said that some chickens and ducks are raised in them. When people are not full, these chickens and ducks can only catch insects and eat in the mountains.

Eating grass roots.

Not far outside the village gate, a group of children are playing here. There are several six or seven-year-old children who are not wearing anything and are running around naked. Although it is not particularly cold at this time of year, it is still a little chilly.

Already.

Ye Ying asked Ge Shun beside him a little strangely, and finally knew the answer. It turned out that there were a lot of branches and rocks in the mountains. In order to avoid scratching the clothes, many adults simply chose not to wear clothes for their children, and the clothes were scratched.

It's not easy to mend. The flesh on your body will always grow back if it's scratched.

"The children are pretty good. In some families, the whole family only wears one pair of trousers. Those who have to go out only put on trousers, and the rest can only hide at home."

A bandit next to him said something, which made Ye Ying feel even more sad. He thought that being alone and alone would be particularly difficult. In comparison, the lives of these bandits were not much better than when he was a child.

It is easy to resonate with people who have gone through the same situation. Seeing these children from bandits' families, Ye Ying couldn't help but think of himself when he was a child. An idea of ​​​​wanting to help them emerged spontaneously, which made his original idea of ​​turning around and leaving much lighter.

"Go and call everyone in the village. I have something to announce." It seemed that Ge Shun was impatient. As soon as he arrived outside the village, he said to a group of children at the door.

These children were quite intelligent. When they heard Ge Shun's words, they ran away in a swarm and quickly disappeared among the thatched houses in the village.

When Ye Ying and his party slowly walked into an empty dam in the village, many people had gathered here. There were white-haired old men, fat women, and of course those who were running outside the village just now.

child.

Almost everyone looked at Ye Ying with curious eyes. They wondered who this young man was and what he was doing in the village.

"Master, everyone is here, let's go up!" Ge Shun's role changed quickly. Ye Ying had not fully agreed to stay in this village. First of all, he had changed his title.

As Ge Shun walked up to the big rocks in front of the empty dam, Ye Ying looked down. There were about sixty or seventy people in the Feiyinghui village, but only less than 30% were young and strong men.

That group of people constituted almost the entire fighting force of the village.

"Everyone, this Master Ye is a master I specially invited from outside. Now he is the head of our Flying Eagle Club. From now on, I will be the second head. Don't call me wrong. Also, if anyone dares

If you are disrespectful to the leader, I will be the first to deal with him." Seeing everyone in the audience looking at him with strange eyes, Ge Shun raised his head and said loudly.

"This Master Ye is not only good at martial arts, he is also literate and well-informed. With him in our village, our life will definitely be better and better." The goatee on the side also said loudly.

On the way, Ye Ying learned that the goatee's name was Ge Yuncai. He was originally a scholar in Gejia Village. Although he had never been a scholar, he was a rare scholar in the village. After the establishment of the village, he became the village's leader without hesitation.

Military advisor.

After hearing what the two said, Ye Ying was a little dumbfounded. Before he agreed, he was beaten to the spot by the two of them. At such a young age, he actually had the title of "Master Ye". It seemed that Ge Shun and Ge Yuncai,

Want to show off your status in the village?

"Now please give us a few words, the head master." Ge Shun took two steps forward. He pressed his hands down in the air gently to signal everyone to quiet down. Then he took two steps back and stood slightly behind Ye Ying.

The position of one point.

After listening to Ge Shun's words, the people below all focused their attention on Ye Ying, wanting to hear what he was going to say.

Ye Ying looked at the people in the audience and saw that they were looking at him with some expectation. Even the half-year-old children were not naughty, but looked at him with curiosity. This made Ye Ying feel a sense of responsibility inexplicably.

.

"My name is Ye Ying, and I grew up in a mountain village. I will be a member of the village from now on." After Ye Ying said this, he closed his mouth in front of everyone's blank eyes.

Ge Shun and Ge Yuncai both looked at Ye Ying strangely, thinking that he was going to make some opening remarks, but they didn't expect it to end so quickly. But they were also very happy, at least it proved that Ye Ying was willing to stay in the village, with such a big man

With the masters here, other villages must be somewhat afraid of them.

Everyone in Feiying Village left the only wooden house in the village to Ye Ying. This was the place where the former leader, Ge Shun, lived. This wooden house was located in the center of the village, which also demonstrated the status of the owner.

The group of people finally finished leaving. Ye Ying sat quietly in the wooden house, looking at the moon that had just appeared outside the house. He didn't say a word, but his heart was turbulent and he couldn't calm down at all.

The changes in these days were too fast. From being a bandit-suppressing hero, to being hunted down, to wanting to be a ranger, he ended up becoming a bandit himself. Even now, Ye Ying still feels like he is in a dream.

But Ye Ying doesn't regret it. Since fate has pushed him to this point step by step, he should choose to accept it! Being a bandit is not that difficult, at least it is not as disciplined as a military camp, and it is much freer in comparison.

With this thought, Ye Ying quickly assumed the position of the head of the Flying Eagle Club, and he began to think about issues from the position of the head.
Chapter completed!
