Ordinary people in the world of Uncle Nine

Chapter 264 Qingshan Town

...

"Damn! What do they care about? Now that there is war in the north, these warlords want to join in the past. How can they spare us their lives?"

One of the two, a thick-browed man, couldn't help but sneered when he heard Li Mu's words. Their place happened to be the border between the north and the south, and the warlords only cared about grabbing territory, and didn't care about the lives and deaths of the people in their jurisdiction. Now they all rely on the militia organized by the people themselves As a protective arm for villages and towns.

It is precisely because of this that these horse bandits are rampant here, because these militias alone cannot resist these horse bandits. For now, the militia in Qingshan Town is the largest in this area, and they often support the surrounding villages, but even so, many villages were looted.

"If you don't go to guard, where are you doing?"

At this moment, the two militiamen froze from behind, and saw a man wearing a simple jacket and a piece of red cloth on his arm with the words "Captain" written on it.

"Captain!"

After the captain appeared, the two militiamen tensed up and saluted him.

Li Mu looked at the captain in front of him. Although the militia team imitated the military system, it was a bit nondescript in many places. As the captain, his body was loose when standing. This reminded Li Mu of Captain Hao in Lishan Town. That is the ceiling of the militia.

The security team in Lishan Town was trained in an orderly manner by him, and the orders and prohibitions were always a small army, while Qingshan Town gave Li Mu the feeling that it was a team that had been put together improvised.

But Li Mu can also understand, after all, not everyone is as ambitious and powerful as Captain Hao, and most of the militiamen are at this level.

"Who are they?"

The team leader actually scanned Li Mu's body a few times, and then asked the two militiamen.

"Report to the captain, they have been checked, and there is no problem!"

"If there is no problem, don't let it go. You want to be lazy, don't you! Put your eyes on me, if something goes wrong, you are the only ones to ask!"

The two militiamen relayed Li Mu's identity. Because of Maoshan's Taoist status, the captain couldn't help but look at Li Mu a few more times, but he didn't make things difficult for Li Mu, and waved to him to indicate that he could go in.

But after Li Mu brought Xiaobao over, the captain's eyes fell on the package on his back, and the long strip wrapped in cloth gave him a pause.

"Stop! What is this on your back?"

The captain squinted his eyes, and shouted at Li Mu with his hands on the butt of the gun at his waist, and the two militiamen saw a long strip in the package Li Mu was carrying, and looked at each other at a loss for a while.

"Captain, as a Maoshan disciple, I can say that with a sword on my body."

Li Mu took off the mahogany sword and iron sword that he had wrapped in cloth strips on his back, and showed him one side of the mahogany sword.

"Okay, let's go in, stay safe in the town, don't run around!"

Seeing that Captain Taomujian didn't pay too much attention, he warned Li Mu and let him go.

……

After entering the town, it is different from the tense atmosphere outside. Although there are militia patrols from time to time, there are still many pedestrians on the street.

"Li Mu, is this place very dangerous?"

Xiaobao pulled Li Mu's clothes and looked up at him and asked, although he was young, he still knew what a horse bandit was, so he couldn't help being a little scared.

"Well, but don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Sensing Xiaobao's emotions, Li Mu smiled and rubbed Xiaobao's hair to comfort him.

"Find a place to live and see the situation first."

Li Mu looked at the shops on both sides of the street, and soon saw a Baohe Inn, and led Xiaobao there.

"The guest officer lives in the hotel?"

Seeing Li Mu and the shopkeepers was also a little surprised. Recently, there have been very few faces staying in the inn, and his inn is also swatting flies every day.

"A standard room is required."

After opening the room, let the shopkeeper prepare some food and deliver it to the room. They all have a room facing the street, so they can take in all the situation on the street by opening the window, so that if something happens, he can confirm it immediately.

After eating, Little Treasure also started to feel sleepy, so Li Mu fetched some water to wash him up, and soon fell asleep.

After Xiaobao fell asleep, Li Mu sat by the bed, drinking tea while looking at the passers-by on the street outside the window. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Qingshan Town looked familiar, but he just couldn’t remember where it was. I couldn't help but fell into thought for a while.

Bang Bang Bang!Bang Bang Bang!
Suddenly a rapid beating of a gong awakened Li Mu, and he looked out of the window, only to see traders and pedestrians on the street in a mess when the gong sounded.

"Bang bang bang!"

At the same time, Li Mu's door was also slapped, and Xiao Bao was awakened from sleep by these noises. Li Mu gave Xiao Bao a gesture, and then came to the door and asked in a deep voice.

"Who?"

"The guest officer is me!"

The voice outside the door was the shopkeeper's. Li Mu opened the door, and the shopkeeper hurriedly said to him.

"Guest officer, someone spotted the horse bandit just now, if it is not necessary, don't come out of the room!"

Li Mu was taken aback by the shopkeeper's words, how could there be horse bandits in broad daylight?Are horse bandits so blatant now?

After careful questioning, I found out that the scouts of the horse bandits had infiltrated the town. Just after being discovered by the militiamen, they killed a militiaman and took advantage of the chaos to hide. Now the captain is leading the militia team to search.

At this time, everyone had to wait in place for interrogation. Speaking of which, the shopkeeper carefully glanced at Li Mu, and was faintly relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual on his face.

Li Mu and the others just arrived today, and the shopkeeper was afraid that he was also a horse bandit scout, so when the alarm sounded, he immediately sent someone to notify the militiamen.

Tuk tuk tuk tuk!

The sound of footsteps gradually approached, and the shopkeeper was completely relaxed when he heard these footsteps and the faint voice of the militiamen. Soon Li Mu and the shopkeeper saw the captain with a fully armed team appearing in front of them. .

"Is it you?"

The team leader couldn't help being taken aback when he saw Shi Li Mu, and Li Mu also understood the reason why the shopkeeper had been guarding here at this time, he was a little dumbfounded, but he also admired the courage of the shopkeeper.

If he was really a horse bandit, when he heard the sound of footsteps, he would definitely take the shopkeeper's knife first, so he admired the courage of the shopkeeper to take the risk.

"Captain!"

Li Mu waved his hand to greet him, and then moved away to let them check. The guest room can be seen through at a glance, and there is no place to hide, so the captain and the others quickly searched.

"Now a horse bandit has sneaked in and killed one of our brothers. Before you catch him, you must not go out!"

Although the militia team in Qingshan Town is not considered regular, they all have a strong sense of responsibility. After the search was over, the captain gave Li Mu instructions, and Li Mu nodded to show his understanding. However, at this moment, a shot was heard from the street outside. ring.

boom!
