I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 203 Come to business so soon?

Fengtai Village is no different from other villages, it is next to a meandering river ditch.

The houses are arranged zigzagging and scattered on both sides of the river ditch, a messy situation, without the slightest aesthetic feeling, just for convenience.

But as early as more than two months ago, the ditch had stopped flowing.And just before the flow was cut off, the villagers blocked the ditch and blocked the river.For this reason, there were physical conflicts with two downstream villages, and several of them bled to death.

Conflicts are normal. If your village intercepts the river, the downstream villages will inevitably have no water to use.

But it didn't take long before blocking the ditch didn't work anymore, because the upper reaches, the upper and upper reaches, also ran out of water.

Ever since, after half a month of hard work, the villagers had no choice but to flee in all directions when they ran out of water and food.

Those who have relatives and friends go to relatives and friends; those who don’t have any relatives and friends can only wander in groups to the river.

Wherever they passed, it was like locusts crossing the border, eating up all the bark and grass roots on the road.

All that remains is an empty village.

In this regard, the government did not have a good response, because there were too many disaster-stricken places to manage.The only thing that can be done, apart from the simple gruel, is to restrain those corpses.It is inevitable that a major epidemic will occur.

But now, that empty village was occupied by a group of traveling merchants as a temporary foothold.

At this time, it was almost dusk.

The three tigers lay on the dead tree in the field, looking at the village two miles away.I roughly estimated that there were about 700 people.Except for thirty or forty people with knives and sticks, the rest are some coolies.

From the clothes and legs, you can tell the difference.This is his unique vision and confidence as an old scout.

Ever since, when the situation was still clear, a simple plan was improvised.

Zhang Zhen, Lin Zaifeng, Kong Liang, and the fourth eldest 'Ji Chuan' brought four more brothers.The eight people carried their burdens and big knives on their backs, and after going around to the right road, they set off towards the village.

Even if they took a detour, they were only two or three miles away from Fengtai Village. In less than a quarter of an hour, the eight of them arrived at the south entrance of the village.

"Stop! Who is coming?"

At the corner of the wall at the south entrance of the village, there were two men with knives squatting. They were dressed in black tight-fitting clothes and looked like warriors.

Seeing the eight of them approaching, he immediately got up, took a few steps forward, and looked at them fiercely.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhen couldn't help laughing, took two steps forward, rolled up his sleeves, exposed the sashimi on his arm, and responded domineeringly: "Hey! Little bastard! Do you still want to use a knife with grandpa?"

Sashimi!

The shaggy and sloppy-clothed man in front of him is actually a member of the army!

It's still destroying the front army!

This is the famous Western Army.

When the two knife holders saw the sashimi on his arm, their eyes shrank slightly, and they couldn't help being a little stunned.Unexpectedly, in this remote village, they could meet Rui Fengjun?
What a hell of a life.

And just when the two of them were in a daze, Zhang Zhen took the lead and strode towards the village.

"You, what are you going to do?" The man with the knife trembled unconsciously.

The majesty and momentum of the Western Army were clearly revealed at this time, and it was not something he could compete with with his military style.

"Bullshit! It's getting dark now, grandpa must find a place to stay, right?" Zhang Zhen yelled loudly, and came to the entrance of the village without stopping.

The other man with the knife also reacted at this time, and quickly cupped his fists to salute, and said with an apologetic smile: "Several military lords, please wait a moment, the villain will go to inform the shopkeeper!"

Before he finished speaking, he quickly turned around and ran away.

But Zhang Zhen and the others had no intention of waiting at all. They stretched out their hands to push away the man with the knife left behind, and strode into the village.

At first glance, he is used to being domineering.

The broken road under your feet is full of dust.The houses on both sides of the road are also dilapidated, one part collapsed in the east and the other in the west.

The remaining houses that are not bad have been occupied by these traveling traders at this time.Through the low wall, you can also see the trolleys parked in the yard.

And on each trolley, there were four or five bulging sacks.

Judging from the shape of the sack, it is either salt or grain.

Well!
Unexpectedly, it came to business so soon...

Several people couldn't help looking at each other, and they all saw the joy in each other's eyes.

"Cough!" Kong Liang shook his feather fan and coughed, signaling for everyone to restrain themselves.

But at this time, the man with the knife who had gone and returned led the two middle-aged men and trotted over in a hurry.

There was a burst of dust.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The middle-aged man in the lead had a red face, a fat head and big ears, and a rich figure, wearing a dark red silk brocade short robe.

After just a few steps, he was sweating profusely.Standing still ten meters away, he glanced at them, smiled apologetically and cupped his hands and said: "Several military masters, villains are not talented, and they are added as the second shopkeeper of the 'Honglong Company'. The villain's surname is Hong, and he works three times at home. .

Dare to ask a few military masters, where did this come from?Where do you want to go? "

Zhang Zhen's face was not gloomy, he reached out his hand and took out the waist card he used to use from his arms, and threw it over indifferently.

Shopkeeper Hong hurriedly caught it, held it in front of him, took a closer look, and immediately shivered.

Captain Zhiguo
Although he is just a military official without a real job, he is at the seventh rank.

At this time, Kong Liang waved his feather fan and said: "Some brothers were ordered to go to Jinghu North Road from the 'Yongxing Army Road' for business. After the task was completed, they returned from here. Passing this place, it was getting late. , I want to borrow a place to stay."

"Oh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Shopkeeper Hong suddenly slapped himself on the face, then bowed and bowed with an apologetic smile, and took two steps forward, returning the badge respectfully.

"To tell you the truth, the villain also passed by this village and wanted to spend the night here. This Fengtai Village has been emptied long ago. It's all caused by this disaster boss. People are in panic!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Zhen waved his hand and interrupted without difficulty: "Wu that fat pig, what are you talking about! You and I are forwards, but after a day's journey, we are tired." If you are hungry again, if you have any good food, bring it up quickly!"

Hog?

Still serving food?

Do you think this is a restaurant?
When shopkeeper Hong heard this, his face immediately became embarrassed, but he didn't dare to attack, his face turned pale with anger.

But the middle-aged man with the sharp ears and monkey cheeks next to him hurriedly smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Yes, yes! I dare not say good wine and good food, but there is definitely no shortage of food. Military lords, please come here!"

After finishing speaking, he leaned sideways to lead the way, and even reached out to give shopkeeper Hong a hand.

But he heard it clearly, these few people are just forwards exploring the way, and there are big troops behind them!
Although they don't know the truth or falsehood, they can't afford to gamble, so they can only listen seriously.
