Ertou Mountain, a simple mountain village was built in the snow-white mountain.
A lean man was outside a simple wooden house. He was wearing thin clothes and a small animal skin was draped over his shoulders. His hands were rubbing his arms. His body was trembling from the cold. White breath came out of his mouth, and the tip of his nose was almost purple.
His nose was dripping with mucus, and he was walking back and forth, seemingly to warm up his body.
Outside the cottage surrounded by a wooden fence, some noises were heard. The man heard the sound and looked around. The fence door was opened by a group of robbers and walked in. When the man saw the visitor, he was happy in his heart: "Brother... can you come back?"
Already."
"Haha..." The boss, who was walking at the front, said happily: "Brother... look what we grabbed? This time, my brother was lucky. Not only did he grab gold coins, he also grabbed clothes that can keep us warm.
"Brother... come here quickly and I will put it on for you." Seeing that his brother was still in the cold, the eldest master was unwilling to do so, but he had no choice before. Now that he had grabbed the clothes, he naturally hurriedly provided them for his brother.
Put on clothes.
Putting on the robe, although it could not completely resist the cold, it still made the eldest brother feel a little warm, and his trembling body also eased. "Brother... We have been robbers for several months, and this is the first time you have grabbed something.
, if it spreads out and other robbers hear it, they will laugh out loud."
The boss was displeased and patted his brother on the back of the head: "You boy, we worked hard as robbers for several months before we got our first harvest. Isn't it just for everyone to have a good life, at least..."
In this winter, we have our own set of new clothes."
"Hahahaha..." The other robbers laughed, and one of the robbers said to the younger brother of the first master: "The second master... the first master is right, we are not craftsmen, and it is not easy to be a robber. Today there are
With the harvest, the boss is naturally happy, and so are we, so don’t laugh at us."
"Aren't I also happy to say this?" The second master raised his eyebrows at the first master, "Brother... there are no gold coins. How many did you grab?"
"Hahaha..." The boss showed off and stretched out two fingers, "Two gold!"
"Haha..." The second master smiled heartily, "Brother... this is worth showing off in front of me. Hey, we still have a long way to go to become robbers!"
"What are you afraid of? Take your time." The eldest master was unconvinced and gestured with the two gold coins in his hand. "Today is the first time we have succeeded. It's not easy for everyone to stay in this mountain. Kong Li, Zong Peng," the eldest master said.
shouted.
Two robbers hurriedly ran up. "Master...what do you want me to do?" Zong Peng asked, and then looked at Kong Li, who was coming with him.
The headmaster handed two gold coins to the two of them. "You have taken these gold coins. I will give you a task. Go to Hetu City and buy some Paulo. As for the meat, forget it, it's the leftovers from last night."
There are also some that you can eat if you share a small amount, so you don’t need to buy them. After all, the two golds to buy meat are not enough for us to eat. Let’s just buy all of them. Hey~ I live in a desolate life. I haven’t drank for many years. Today
We, a group of brothers, celebrated our first successful robbery."
"Okay... Master!" The others cheered in unison.
Zong Peng was in charge of the money, so he took the money given by the head master and Kong Li went down the mountain and headed towards Hetu City.
······
When you visit in winter, you will never forget Hetucheng. The snow makes Hetucheng look a little pale, but its popularity has not diminished. In the cold winter, business travelers still come and go in order to make a living, and grazing and farming are still going on.
Everyone has to work, and everyone is busy with their work. The noise also makes Hetu City a lot more lively in winter.
When Kong Li and Zong Peng entered Hetucheng, they felt that the streets here were very clean. The streets that were originally covered with snow had been pushed to both sides of the streets due to proper handling.
"Yo yo yo" Kong Li was excited, "It's been a long time since we've been to Hetucheng. Zongpeng... It's still early. Why don't we walk around and see if there are any changes in Hetucheng? In a moment, we
How about we go back to the tavern and buy some paolo?”
"Hmm~~~" Zong Peng took a deep breath, touched the two pieces of gold in his pocket, and thought for a moment, "Let's go! This person is bored in the village all day long."
"Hey," Kong Li sighed, "What do you think? Although we are robbers to rob other people's money, we are a group of ordinary people who rob other people's money. Facing the mercenaries hired by those business travelers, we can be said to be
Our lives were handed over to other people's hands, and you asked us why we acted so cowardly as robbers."
"You're right," Zong Peng also felt. "But there's nothing we can do. We were bullied when we entered the military camp, and we were even kicked out. We had no food, so we had to do this, walk around, and go to the fighting arena."
Go shopping and risk your life in robbery all day long, why not go and see the slaves who also risk their life in it today."
"Yeah," Kong Li agreed, "We can also go and relax."
When they came to the fighting arena, the noise was rising and falling frequently. Kong Li and Zong Peng gently covered their chests, "This place is more intense than the robbery." Kong Li squeezed forward, wanting to go to the front to watch the intense action.
of fighting.
Zong Peng followed behind. As soon as he came to the front, there was a crash from the iron cage, and it was right in front of the two of them. "Wow~" The two of them trembled in their hearts. They only heard the slave inside yelling "Ah~~~" and hugged him.
After hitting another slave, the head kept hitting the iron cage.
"Bang bang..." The two of them were a little scared when they heard the sound. Although they had been robbers for a while, every time they went to rob, they were not facing each other. Moreover, when facing mercenaries, they were basically the same.
If you retreat automatically, you are fighting with your life like a slave.
After a while, the slave in the iron cage whose head was hit fell weakly to the ground, and blood flowed to the ground. It was obvious that he could not survive. The two looked at the excited slave, swallowed their saliva, and withdrew in despair.
"Wow~~~" Walking on the street, the two of them suddenly felt relieved. "This slave is much worse than us." Kong Li patted his chest, seeming a little lucky.
"Hey~ I'd better go buy Paolo, let's go back quickly!" Zong Peng suggested.
"Cheng" Kong Li also agreed.
On the street to the tavern, I happened to pass by the military camp. There were several carriages pulling goods parked outside. The carriages were filled with bags of stuff. I wonder what was inside?
Kong Li and Zong Peng walked by and looked curiously. At this time, some soldiers were carrying bags to the carriage at the main gate of the military camp. An officer was directing and shouting: "How many more are there? These are terrible
It's all food that's going to Hongbang Town. It's fast... After loading the goods, we're about to set off. There's serious snow there and there's a shortage of goods in the town. We're late. I don't know if anyone will starve to death."
"Yes" A soldier used all his strength to move the goods to the carriage. Kong Li and Zong Peng looked and saw that there were still three carriages that had not been loaded with goods.
Not long after leaving the military camp, Kong Li came up with a plan: "Zong Peng... why don't we go back now."
"Paulo hasn't bought it yet," Zong Peng said unclearly.
"We are robbers." Kong Li hid at the corner of the street and looked at the goods on the military camp carriage. "These are all food. Didn't you listen to the officer just now? These goods are going to be sent to Ertou Mountain in Hongbang Town."
The road is the only way to go, and we are risking our lives when hunting low-level monsters in Ertou Mountain, but if we take away these food, we will not have to starve throughout the winter."
Zong Peng looked at it, remembering how he felt when he was hungry. "You are right, what should we do?"
"Go back first," Kong Li said decisively: "If we take Paulo back, it won't be fast. They will set off after loading the goods. We have to go back in a hurry to tell the boss." Kong Li looked at the sky and saw how many days had passed at noon.
Hours, counting the time, when these goods left, I'm afraid it was also at night, which was a good opportunity for an ambush. "Let's go," Kong Li shouted, and the two hurried back to Ertou Mountain.
