Chapter 211 Green Forest Heroes, Wonderful History

In this era, traveling far away is not a simple and happy thing.

Ordinary people need to worry about various problems when traveling, especially during troubled times, when all kinds of heroes emerge.

If you are not careful, you will lose both your life and money.

However, these problems do not exist for Qin Tian.

He is a cultivator, but he can still be stopped by someone who robs the way.

Speaking of which, Qin Tian did encounter several robberies along the way from Nanyang to Liaodong.

The first time was not long after coming out of Nanyang. When passing through a mountain forest, Qin Tian and Muchun were stopped by a few sallow-looking men.

These people had no armor and only had a few long knives in their hands. Qin Tian also noticed someone in the forest holding a long bow and aiming at him.

However, when they saw that Qin Tian was just a Taoist priest with no strength, and he had a little girl with him, they quickly relaxed their vigilance.

The man at the head was riding a thin horse. The man was sallow and thin, so the horse was naturally not much better.

Just when they were blocking the road, the horse no longer listened to the rider's orders, walked to the roadside and began to eat the weeds on the roadside. It was obviously very hungry.

The robber didn't feel ashamed at all, he was obviously used to this situation.

Although they are called robbers, these people know better etiquette than many scholars.

Seeing that Qin Tian was wearing a green Taoist robe, it was obvious that he was not from a rich family, so he did not embarrass Qin Tian.

That's right, Qin Tian changed his clothes and no longer wore white all the time.

The main reason is that he has always been dressed in white, and Qin Tian also feels that it is a bit too monotonous.

Taking two apprentices with him can be regarded as a new starting point on his path of cultivation. Qin Tian wants to change his clothes, which is equivalent to changing his mood.

So he used magic to change his white clothes into the most common cyan color for ordinary people, which is the cyan color that Qingqingzi Jin Youyouwo has in his heart.

The most common colors for people in the Han Dynasty were cyan and white, because these two colors did not require bleaching and dyeing and were the lowest cost.

Therefore, if you meet people wearing these two colors, they are not poor people, and their wealth must not be rich.

Generally, people who are trying to rob Dao won't embarrass such people too much.

Of course, the premise is that these people have the most basic moral principles. When they encounter such vicious people, they don't care what color you are wearing. They will definitely not let you go unless you peel off a layer of skin.

When Qin Tian met these people, he obviously belonged to the former group.

"You only want food?" Qin Tian confirmed again.

"Does this kid not understand people or something?" The bandit leader seemed a little impatient.

He spoke with a strong Central Plains accent and cursed bitterly: "Damn, it's not a good day when I go out today. I met such an unlucky person like you."

"I can't even scrape out any oil or water. What if you order some food and give it back to my mother-in-law? If you don't even have anything to eat, then you want to try grandpa's long knife?"

Qin Tian looked strange.

It's not because of the dirty words of the gang leader. For people like them, dirty words are just one of the weapons they use to protect themselves.

They need to use vulgar language and vocabulary to make themselves look less irritable and to make others fear them.

In this way, they can ensure that they can obtain the resources to survive.

Qin Tian felt weird because these robbers... were a little too pitiful.

He has never been the kind of person who gets easily offended by other people's words.

Even though these people are not polite, there are many insults in their words.

But Qin Tian knew that the lifestyle of these people determined the way they spoke.

If they could have enough food and clothing, they would definitely be like those literati, polite and courteous in their speech, and so arrogant that they could carry three hundred allusions in one sentence.

But they can't, so they can only use these vulgar words to make themselves look less irritable.

"Is it really enough to just order food?"

Qin Tian confirmed it again.

"That's right, Grandpa, I don't want much." The bandit leader glared at Qin Tian.

"It seems that you know you don't have much oil or water on you, and you even bring a oil bottle with you."

The bandit leader glanced at Mu Chun who was behind Qin Tian, ​​and said disdainfully: "You two are also poor people. Let's talk. Although I am a robber, I am not a heartless person."

"Everyone is having a hard time these days, so I don't want much from you. I'll take half of the food and drink you brought with you. Grandpa, I won't take any money. I'll give you a way to survive."

"But if you say you can't even get this little thing out, don't blame grandpa for being ruthless with my long sword!"

Qin Tian did not expect that the first robber he encountered in his life was actually a righteous man who was also a thief.

"But if I want half of it, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it back with so many people."

Qin Tian chuckled.

"Fuck your mother!" the bandit leader said with a cross-eyed look, "You look quite honest, how could you open your mouth and say some stupid things!"

"You also said that I can't take your grandfather back!"

Wei Yan snorted coldly: "If you don't want to give it, just say so. Grandpa won't waste time with you."

"Don't force me to snatch it, it will make everyone look bad!"

Qin Tian was not angry at all: "Since you said you can get it, then come and get it."

After saying that, Qin Tian actually took out a fragrant roast chicken from behind.

The roasted chicken was still steaming, wrapped in oil paper, and exuded an alluring aroma.

The bandit leader's eyes almost popped out.

"You kid, how do you carry such a big roast chicken with you?"

However, Qin Tian's next action made the bandit leader break out in cold sweat.

Qin Tian seemed to have a bottomless pit behind him, and he was constantly taking out all kinds of food and wine.

Even the wine was steaming!

The roasted chicken and roasted goose were just appetizers. What shocked the bandit leader the most was that Qin Tian actually took out bags after bags of rice noodles from behind!

In a short time, there was enough food for a dozen people and a month on the ground!

No matter how stupid the bandit leader is, he still knows that he is meeting an expert!

He immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground: "Wei Yan didn't know that the master was coming. He accidentally bumped into the master and offended the master. I hope that the master will be more generous and will not remember the villain's fault and let the villain go!"

This man was able to bend and stretch, but what surprised Qin Tian the most was his name.

"Your name is Wei Yan?"

"That's right, the villain who can't change his name even if he's not willing to change his surname is none other than Wei Yan!"

After saying that, Wei Yan carefully raised his head and glanced at Qin Tian: "Master, have you ever heard of my name?"

Qin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly: "I've heard some of it."

Wei Yan was also a famous general in the Three Kingdoms, but it was probably five years later that he first came to prominence.

Qin Tian did not expect that Wei Yan would become a bandit now, but he did not know how Wei Yan would become Liu Bei's subordinate in the future.

Wei Yan has a bit of chivalry in his body, which is why Qin Tian did not take action against him.

"Do you want more?" Qin Tian looked at Wei Yan with a smile.

"No, how dare you ask for something from a master." Wei Yan said repeatedly.

"Seriously you don't want it?" Qin Tian smiled and said, "If you really don't want it, I can take it back!"

Wei Yan knelt on the ground, secretly looking at Qin Tian's face, and suddenly gritted his teeth: "Yes!"

"Since the master has taken it out, there is no reason for me not to accept it!"

Qin Tian raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid that I will be angry?" Wei Yan replied honestly: "I think an expert has a broad mind and will not be angry because of this little offense."

"To an expert, this is just a drop in the bucket, but to me it is a life-saving thing."

"If we don't take this thing, I'm afraid Wei Yan will really do something unscrupulous. Rather than doing that, it would be better to die."

"Anyway, it's the same if you die early or later. If you don't accept it directly, even if you die, if you can have a full meal before you die, your life in this world will be considered worthwhile!"

Qin Tian couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Although Wei Yan doesn't seem to be very smart, he is somewhat clever and courageous enough. No wonder he will become a famous general in the future.

"As long as you can take it, I will give you as much as you can take."

"This is true!" Wei Yan's eyes lit up.

"Of course I take it seriously."

Qin Tian smiled and said: "But you can only take it once. If you come back again, it will be gone!"

Wei Yan is also upright and has no fear of fraud.

"Brothers, come out and get your things!"

With a loud roar, seven or eight people suddenly jumped out of the forest. Including those brought by Wei Yan, there were about a dozen people in total.

These dozen or so people were all holding long knives, and some of them carried several long bows on their backs.

In this era, these people are already considered a considerable military force.

At least it's enough for robbing homes.

At first, those people were a little timid, but after tentatively taking away some things, they found that Qin Tian really didn't care, and they suddenly became much more courageous.

Qin Tian actually kept his promise. No matter how much they took, Qin Tian could always take out more food from behind.

Not long after, a group of more than a dozen people had food and drink everywhere, with their hands on their backs and their arms on their backs.

They didn't even ride horses anymore, and they were carrying all kinds of rice, flour, grain and oil on their horses.

When Wei Yan saw someone secretly pulling off a chicken leg and putting it into his mouth, he immediately cursed: "Why are you so anxious? I'm so greedy, you bastard!"

"Don't take those useless things. If you have such stupid strength, why don't you bring more rice back to me!"

After less than half an hour, the group of people couldn't hold it anymore, and they wished that even walking had become a problem.

They only hate that they usually eat too little and have too little strength to take more.

"Can't take it anymore? I'm going to take it back if I can't take it anymore!"

Qin Tian chuckled.

Wei Yan looked at the seemingly endless amount of food placed in front of Qin Tian, ​​feeling really unwilling to do so.

When he got angry, he actually asked someone to pick it up in his mouth, and one person took it away with a roast chicken in his mouth.

Now I really can't even speak.

Although it was a pity, Wei Yan did not dare to ask for more.

There are so many things, enough for them to eat and drink well through the new year.

If you save some food, you can even survive until next spring.

Especially those white-flour white rice, the quality is even better, and can be sold for a lot of money at the market.

This money can also be exchanged for more food and drink, maybe even enough for half a year!

I'm afraid I won't be able to get so many things in a year by robbing homes and houses.

Wei Yan was content enough.

Seeing that the master was about to leave, Wei Yan didn't care about the things in his hands. He quickly put them on the ground and knelt down and shouted: "Thank you, master, for the reward!"

Qin Tian shook his head, smiled slightly, walked forward slowly, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

The group of people knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up until Qin Tian left for a while.

"General, why don't we ask that expert to stay?"

A little man next to Wei Yan came up and asked in a low voice: "If that master stays, won't we no longer be short of food and drink?"

Wei Yan slapped him across the face: "You idiot, if you want to die, don't drag us to die together!"

"How can a master like this stay in our small mountain valley if he is so powerful?"

"With his ability, the world is so big that he can't go anywhere he wants to?" Wei Yan snorted coldly.

"It's offensive today. It's a rare good thing for the master to spare our lives. He also gave us so much food. This is great luck. You kid actually dares to be dissatisfied!"

Wei Yan looked around at the people: "I'm warning you, keep your mouth shut about what happened today. No one is allowed to tell me!"

"If the news leaks out, be careful I will pull out your skin!"

The little man shrank his neck: "I know, General!"

But soon, he became happy.

"With these things, the people in the village can live a good year now!"

Wei Yan slapped him again.

"You can't look far ahead when you are short-sighted."

Wei Yan's eyes flashed: "Don't talk about this year, I'm afraid we will all have good days in the future!"

"Ah? Why?" The little man seemed a little confused.

Wei Yan snorted coldly: "Idiot, don't let me touch these things. I'm going to the city to exchange money for food!"

"Ah? Are all these things going to be sold?" The little man seemed a little reluctant to give up.

He has never eaten such exquisite white noodles since he was a child, and he is really reluctant to part with it.

"Just leave a little for a taste. The most important thing for us is to fill our stomachs!"

Wei Yan's eyes flashed with a light that didn't match his appearance.

"Exchange for more food. Do you know that we can recruit troops now?"

"Why recruit troops?"

The little man was a little puzzled: "There are enough of us. If we find more people, why don't we share our food?"

Wei Yan snorted coldly: "This is why I am the boss and you are the junior soldier!"

Of course he was not aimless, nor was he an arrogant fool.

Naturally, he had his own considerations in doing so.

After all, turning into a bandit is not a serious way out. Maybe one day he will be suppressed.

So he plans to be a good person.

But who would want these sallow and skinny guys?

It's different when you have food to eat.

Not to mention more, as long as you can pull together a team of two to three hundred people, have enough food, and practice for a month or two, as long as you look good, you can lead this group of people to defect to the princes.

Will there still be a shortage of such a mouthful of food by then?

Wei Yan's family was in decline, and he was not a real commoner. Otherwise, he wouldn't have led so many people to start a business of robbing families and doing it in a decent way.

It was because he was too kind among the robbers that he could hardly afford to eat.

They are said to be robbers, but in fact they also work part-time as farmers. How can they really live solely by robbing homes and houses?
