"Hehe, the cooks in the hotel are very good at cooking, they also cook a lot of dishes, but the one who can cook the whole sheep feast
Your own, in fact, in the future, I think the rest of the people in your village don’t need to go hunting in the mountains. Just raise sheep at home.
Okay. "Pinshu.com (www.VoDtw.coM Li Cong said with a smile, the sheep raised here were pure natural in the past life, and there is no such thing as feed.
West, these things taste more delicious. Li Congyou wants to help here.
"Yes, Master Cao, don't you know that there are really fewer and fewer prey in this mountain, and many prey are already coming
It’s extinct. Every time we go in and fight back, there are fewer and fewer things, but you can see the land here.
It’s not suitable for continuing to grow food crops. The grass grows higher every year. We can only raise sheep.
The meat of this sheep is not sold for money, and we all dislike the bad taste. We used to have a lot of meat.
Sheep, but because they can’t sell, they can only honestly reduce production. If Cao Ye wants to buy, they
They can pick this up, they are all good at raising sheep. "Boss Chen mentioned this thing too
Sadly, the village seems to be better in recent years, but they know the actual situation.
"Hehe, this is okay, as long as you can make this kind of taste, I see that every month I will
It doesn't matter if it is acquired, it's only a lot. It is estimated that you will have to expand the scale by then. "Li Cong said with a smile, since
My own Grand Hyatt Hotel has opened five or six, and the food here is getting more and more powerful.
Thousands of sheep are really not enough to eat. If this thing is eaten, it will be so inadvertent. How can you raise one?
It takes a long time, but if it takes an hour to eat, it will probably take almost an hour.
Boss Chen also came in the evening and fell asleep long ago. But there is no meaning to sleep at this moment,
This doesn’t mean that Li Cong is sleepy, so he shut his mouth. Bai Er has already been unable to open his eyes, but because the master still
Without a break, he, the attendant, would naturally not be able to rest, and he still understands such things.
Chen Chuankui was already up the next morning when Li hadn't woken up yet. It's normal for people in this mountain to get up early
, The main reason for getting up early is to go to bed earlier. Because there is no nightlife at night, so basically Tianyi
He went to bed and went to bed. It’s better if you have a wife, and there are some activities, but if you don’t have a wife,
There are many people who don’t have wives. This is in the mountains, and there are still relatively few people willing to come in. But today
Chen Chuankui got up too early. Boss Chen hasn't woke up before he wakes up, yells for his youngest son and goes out
, It seems that something has happened. Li Cong couldn't sleep anymore, so he just got up to see what was going on.
When Li Cong went out with the old village chief, it turned out that the hunting team in the village came back. Just by looking at them, he knew one.
This seems to be nothing. The prey brought back is really too few, not even two cars arrived, you must know that every year in the village
It’s going to be hunting twice. These two times can be eaten in the village for a year. Before, there were more than a dozen carts.
Not even a car arrived. This thing is really a bit big, and many people know that this winter may not go through.
This is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that the number of people who came back was wrong. There were hundreds of people in, how few people came out.
There are dozens of people. In the past, hunting in the mountains would cause great damage, usually just a few people. absolute
There won’t be so many people. The loss of dozens of people is a great thing for a village. Besides, it’s a loss.
These people who are missing are all big and powerful laborers in the village.
"This...what's going on, what about the other people? They were all eaten by wild beasts?" The old village chief said in disbelief.
The hunting history in their village is not short. Although they will go in and run around, they also know where to go.
Those who don’t go there are very dangerous places where they cannot go. Generally speaking, they don’t go there.
Now what is going on, they are not so dumb, the anxious old village head sweats all over.
"The village chief, no, they were all caught by the bandits in Congshan. We ran into their people when we went hunting in the mountains.
There are too many people, we can’t beat them, and they can’t swallow all of us.
It’s a big loss. They asked us to send 20,000 catties of wheat to redeem people. If they don’t get it in three days, they will...
The people were killed. "The man who took the lead said around his head, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.
"Damn, these bandits are really unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. We give them so many things every day. Why do they
I don’t know how to converge, you didn’t go to the government to talk about it? "The old village chief said angrily.
"We went, but the people in the government said that it is not a good time to suppress bandits, saying they will pay close attention to it."
Zi said helplessly, this is how the people in this government do things. If you have money, you can say anything. If you don’t have money, you want it.
It’s impossible to hand them over. The bandits in these mountains are not so powerful. When the government talks about them
It’s also a very headache. There are only a few hundred officials in this county, and the number of people in the city defense is no more than two thousand at most.
Son, there are two thousand bandits in this mountain, they are not jokes.
"Fart, shit, there is no time for them to kill the bandits, village chief, I don’t think we should consider this matter.
The government is there, we still have to solve it ourselves. Where are these dozens of people? It’s not a trivial matter. Let’s hurry.
Raise food tightly. "Another older person said, saving talent is now the most important thing. As for other things
Everything can be leaned back, 20,000 catties of grain is really not a small amount for them.
There are only more than two thousand people in the village. Ten catties of food for this person doesn’t sound like a lot, but if you really take it out,
It’s not that simple anymore. The average people eat coarse grains, but what they want is fine grains. If these ten catties of grain are past
If there are no accidents in the year, there may be nothing to eat in the last month.
"Hey, it can only be like this until now. By the way, we happen to have a few people from Cao's firm here. At this time
It's just that they can get so much food, and it will take a few days to get it to them. If we don't
Hurry up, there may be other changes. "The person who spoke just now said, his words made everyone's eyes
Looking at Li Cong, Li Cong could only come out.
"Hehe, you don't need to worry about this matter, and the food will be your future wages..." Li Cong
Explain their own intentions, and explain that the 20,000 catties of grain is their future wages, one by one directly
It's boiling, and a couple of silver a month. Although it is dangerous, what is the difference from now? They are also in danger now
It’s dangerous, but after death, there’s nothing, the most is to let the family members eat and drink without worrying. This is five hundred taels of silver.
Even if the son is dead, he can give an explanation to his wife and children in the family, and dozens of people have signed up right now. Some of the rest
Still hesitating, each of them didn't know whether what Li Cong said was true or false.
But all these hesitations became reality at noon that day, because someone sent it in the morning
20,000 catties of grain, besides Li Cong also pulled the salary of dozens of people, Li Cong said that he would give it to others.
With a one-year salary, it is impossible to carry so much money with him. This person is 36 taels of silver, fifty in the morning
Personal life-saving, this is more than one thousand taels of silver, packed in such a small box, the whole village has seen this thing,
Most of the people are dumbfounded. They have never seen a box for silver in their lives. See those who hold silver
We finally couldn’t sit still, and hurriedly went there to participate in the assessment. As long as they can shoot a red heart 50 meters away, this foundation
Basically, it’s okay. In fact, they’re okay even at 80 meters. There are more than two hundred people one after another.
Have passed the assessment, but there are still some people who are unwilling to go out. Li Cong will not force them, knowing that this must
It depends on the days to come to make them obedient, and there are so many people in the village all of a sudden.
It’s good. After all, this is a place under my own management. The decrease in population means that my rights will be discounted. However, the village
Changxin also understands that, knowing that these people are all going out to live a good life, and I can't stop him.
Li Cong also made another agreement with the village on the same day, that is to let the village chief help him
The surrounding hunters recruited two people to set up an office here. The village chief also paid five taels a month, only
If you can find a qualified one for yourself, there is a fee of one or two silver, this is something the village chief did not expect.
There is also the problem of raising sheep. Originally, the village chief was unwilling to let his eldest son go out. The body is already that.
It looks like it will go wrong if no one takes good care of it after going out, but in the end it was the son who convinced him.
Yes, you may stay here for the rest of your life. The child will never be found again, but after going out, follow
Li Cong can adapt many things to his salary, and the village head can’t stand the temptation of his eldest grandson to let his son go, no
Still let his youngest son follow his brother. According to his words, what happened is that the two brothers took care of him.
These things are basically settled, such things can basically be settled quickly as long as there is money.
It’s just that I have to go to the bandit’s den on the mountain to change people, which is a bit bad. The village head gave Li Cong a look at them.
If the people from the Cao’s house are willing to help these people, then nothing will happen, but what should I do?
Tell them, they don’t get anything, and people are willing to do things like paying for food here? people
The family’s mind is not flooded. Suddenly the old village chief seems to have thought of something. Those people on the mountain can do archery skills.
Very powerful. It can be said that they are not much worse than these hunters, if this Master Cao wants to subdue those people
I really want to go up and see what's going on. Maybe it will be a big gain for this Master Cao.
"Master Cao, don’t you want archers? The archers in our village are basically here, but dozens of them are here.
The mountain ability is also very good. They are also people who often hang around in the old forest. If you want Master Cao, you might as well.
Do us a favor. Go up and get those people down. Don’t worry, Master Cao. I must be with you all the way. It’s just us.
Although the people in the mountains are powerful, they are still somewhat inadequate compared with those bandits, and as far as I know, those bandits have the ability
It's also very impressive, and they can shoot many people. "Chen Changkui said with a smile.
Li Cong smiled, how could he not know what the old village chief was thinking in his mind. Anyway, I came to look for
Archer’s, time is running out, the past I found here is not enough for my own use, I still need
Look for more, since there are people, there is no reason not to go, and nodded immediately.
"Thanks to the old village chief. I went up the mountain to have a look. Presumably the bandits on this mountain don’t want to spend their entire lives on the mountain.
Yes, they also hope that they can have a better life, so I will go up and give them a bright road. "Li Congxiao
In fact, the bandits who looked so cruel in the eyes of these ordinary people were actually bullying them.
That's it. If there is a first-class fighter in this village, it will definitely not be the situation right now.
"Oh. Master Cao is really a great benefactor in our entire village, Master Cao, please be respected by the younger ones." The old village chief said
Kneeling down, everyone else in the village is also kneeling down. They want to go up the mountain because their brothers are in the mountain.
Being taken as a hostage, people, Master Cao has nothing to do with them, Master Cao seems to be just like us.
Human. Although they need archers, but think about it, there is no need to go to the mountains to find archers.
"Hehe, it's okay. I like to help people everywhere. It should not be too late. We should get on the road as soon as possible.
It's better. The credibility of these bandits should not be very good. After going up, you can just look at me for everything. "Lee
Cong said, other people can’t wait to leave right away. In fact, Li Cong’s time is much more precious than them.
It’s best to go up. If it’s a day of ink, I don’t know what happened to the Western Empire. You must know that the Western Emperor
It’s already been clear that the royal family’s deployment of troops and generals has long since become clear. This Tuoba family is not vegetarian.
The empire basically knows what happened to them, and some of the smoke bomb effects of the royal family can be considered as good, winning a week
, But the imperial family's move was so big that any fool could see it, let alone Tuoba's family.
"That's natural. Don't stay here. I can take a few people and follow Master Cao up the mountain. You can stay at home.
Prepare the food and drink, no one can say a word after going up, all will listen to Cao. "Chen Chuankui's prestige in the village returned
It is relatively high. Many people have to listen to what he says. If there is someone who doesn't listen, the consequences will be extraordinary.
Li Cong looked at Bai Er and the others. These people are just ordinary people and it is useless to follow him. It is estimated that if they go up, they will use force.
If this is the case, these few people are still a burden, and they all worry about Li Cong’s safety and want to follow. Li Cong didn’t even think about it.
Tell them to stay below, but Li Cong didn’t care about it, and asked Bai Er to take his token to the county magistrate.
If I haven’t gotten down for a day, I immediately mobilize soldiers to level the place. It is estimated that this kind of thing will not happen, Li
From that is to take precautions before they happen, who knows what big Luo Jinxian is on it.
Four carts of food brought more than 20 people up the mountain. The place where the bandits lived is naturally an unpopulated place.
The bandits don’t want to live in such a place, they also want to enjoy it, but there is no way it’s not.
If they live in a place where everyone can reach. It is estimated that the army of this government will arrive soon, and it will be another
It’s a famine. Although the people in this government collect money and don’t attack them, it doesn’t mean that they’ve been absent from work.
When they come down, they are more ruthless than anyone who kills, so look for a place where they can't get up. on
Even if they want to use force against themselves, they have to measure their own abilities. Don't say it, this method is still very good
, As long as there is no regular army coming, the second-line army in this county office will not have the guts.
The bandits live about six hours away from this Orion village. It was noon when they came out.
If you walk fast, you should be able to get there before the sun goes down. The few people who follow here are usually there.
The people in the old woods are all familiar with the situation here, but they are all worried about Li Congyou.
Some can't adapt. After all, this is in charge of Cao's house firm, but it is not all mud-legged like them.
However, after walking for a certain distance, they changed their views on Li Cong. Not only did Master Cao have good physical strength, but also Master Cao’s body
These people on the side seem to be even more powerful. They have been walking for more than two hours, and the others are already tired.
Yes, but Cao Ye seems to have nothing. Although they are very tired, they all know this
They can’t rest. This is a place where blind bears come out. If one comes out, they can handle it.
If two come out, they can only wait to die. So even if they are tired, they can only walk through here quickly and get to the front
I went to rest in the small river, the area around the small river is relatively wide and there is no danger.
"Master Cao, I really didn’t see it. I thought you were someone who didn’t walk very much.
The steward of the firm must have a carriage even if he does not ride a horse. Who knew you were walking with me. "Look at the old village chief
Li Cong said, he is already very old, and there can only be four people sitting on these four carriages. Originally, they wanted Li
I’ve never been sitting, but Li Cong refused. It’s more than enough to deal with this kind of thing on his own.
The village chief is very concerned about the affairs of the village, and Li Cong admires such a person from his heart.
"I don’t usually look like this, but I do my own exercises. This body is still fine.
It's not very far from there, I think it's at least half of it. "Li Cong took a look when he went up the mountain
For the map here, I feel that this place should be about to reach the place, and the people there should not be very good.
With the distance of human society, living with wild beasts, bandits are also human.
"It's almost there. To say that these bandits weren't bad guys before. They are all just like us.
He came from a poor family, but unfortunately, there is no way to survive. That was a matter of decades ago.
The severe drought has left many of us here without the basis of life, and most of them have fallen into trouble one by one.
At that time there were more bandits than good people. No one knew who the bandits were. Maybe they were still at home during the day. This night
I went up to the mountain to be bandits. There were quite a few such people. Later, the days got better, and they all became old.
The people have nothing to do with these on the mountain. They can’t go back. During the severe drought, they all shot the government’s grain to eat.
If you go back, you will definitely be seen through. No, as time gets longer and longer, they won’t be able to go back.
If you do, you can only be a bandit on the mountain. "The old village chief was a bit lamented when he talked about these people. Back then
It used to be one on the mountain. It was really impossible in that era. If you were a bandit, you had to starve to death.
"Hehe, since this is the case, it seems that none of them are evil people, so I will go up the mountain to save them.
All right. "Li Cong said with a smile, as if it was not a bandit’s den, but a tourist attraction, no matter what Li
What does Cong think, but the people around here admire Li Cong very much. They don’t dare to approach here
, You can look at the manager of the Cao family, they seem to look down on this place at all, this courage...
The bandits on the mountain are not there waiting to do nothing. They saw Li Cong's team a long time ago when they arrived. The dozens of bandits around had already aimed their bows and arrows at Li Cong. They are, this Chen Chuankui is known to most people. They are still very familiar with Chen Chuankui, they think of the people in Orion Village in the stockade. They also understand what's going on. In fact, they don't want to do anything about Orion Village. But recently there is really no food in the mountains. This is a dangerous way. They didn't dare to detain too many people. Liehu Village is not easy to talk about. If there are more things, maybe the old village chief will bring people to kill. Although the brothers in the village are much better than these hunters, it is better not to come here if they may bully other weak villages.
A bow and arrow shot out quickly. Those who enter the gate are all based on this rule. As long as the place where the bow and arrow shoot out is where you stop, it is their business to do what you should do in the future. Li Cong doesn’t understand this rule. Yes, I just saw a bow and arrow shooting towards me in the distance. Li Cong knew that he couldn't shoot himself, but he didn't want to be so cheap. The bandits all worship the strong. Li Cong happened to have a small stone under his feet, and he kicked it flying when he went up. Hit this bow and arrow. Originally, archery people didn’t use much strength. They were just a form. The strength Li Cong used was not small. No one thought that such a thing would happen. Bows and arrows were directly discounted. It has become two parts in the air, and what are the people on the mountain. Not to mention these Orion, even their boss, the person they admire the most has no such ability, their boss is a first-class fighter.
"Don't dare, don't dare, this is an order from the mountain, telling us not to exceed the bow and arrow. If the bandits on the mountain like you are upset, the people in our village will be in trouble. This is a sweep. They save face.
The old village chief hurriedly stopped Li Cong at this time. If the bandits on the mountain were angry with the people in his village, they might not be able to save their lives. He was not so weak before. , But now that people are in the hands of others, they are tough, but they are of no use. At that time, it is still their own that will suffer. That's why Li Cong will be discouraged. Although he also feels that it is really venting just now, it is actually useful. What? Nothing at all, in the end, I still suffer.
"Hehe, just playing with them. I think this is also useful. If you can't see their boss in the previous kidnappings, look at their boss now." Li Cong said with a smile, this mountain Sure enough, a hundred or so people came over with a few people, and one of them should be the boss.
"Who am I going to go up the mountain? It's mine for Uncle Chen to bother you for the old man to come over." What surprised everyone was that the bandit actually saluted Chen Chuankui in public. Although he was not very polite, his courtesy But there was nothing missing, and he also told Uncle Chen Chuankui what this guy wanted to do.
"Hmph, I thought you didn't know me long ago. Now you know to call me uncle. It seems that you still remember the friendship between me and your father. I thought the boss of this mountain was not you anymore. Why did this guy tie me? Did you forget my friendship with your father?" Chen Chuankui saw that it was this guy, and immediately he was not polite. No wonder, this guy is also from the generation of Chen Chuankui’s nephew. It's just that I haven't seen it for many years.
"Uncle Chen, you can honestly say that this happens every year in the surrounding villages, but how long has there been no such thing in your village? If it weren’t for this, it’s really impossible. Can I do something to your people? Although I have done something to your people, I didn’t kill any of them. It’s inevitable to get injured. There are so many people entering the mountain besides the people in your village. Where else is there? Now I’m here. The cottage really doesn’t have much food anymore.
The bandits also have difficulties, and the robbery also depends on people. Hearing what he said, the expression on Chen Chuankui’s face was a little bit off. Indeed, the people in their village these years People live a very good life, none of them go to the mountains.
"Hmph, then stop talking nonsense. I will gather 20,000 catties of grain for you. You can take it and go, and I will bring my people back. If you run out of grain in the future, just say it, as long as it is us I’ll give it to you if I’m starving, there’s no need to get this.
Chen Chuankui turned around and said, the bandit leader felt a little sorry to see Chen Chuankui’s back, to be honest. This old village chief still takes care of himself, even though he is the bandit leader. Can't influence.
"Wait, Uncle Chen and our affairs are over. The brothers are already escorting people over. It's still a while. Your old man sits down and drinks tea. I want to see which brother broke my brother's bow and arrow just now. Come out and try." This bandit leader is also a swimmer and aggressive. He usually does this by himself. I didn't expect someone to do his own thing today. It is inevitable in this heart to see who it is. Compared to those high-level fighters, he is not an ant, but he is all ordinary people in front of him, and he is very powerful in front of them.
Chen Chuankui wanted to stand up and say something, but was dissuaded by Li Cong. He came here to subdue them. Just now, he wanted their boss to come out. It's already out now, so naturally I want to talk to him well.
"Hehe, the boss, the person you're looking for is me, don't know what advice you can give?" Li Cong walked out with a smile, letting out his breath. There are at least five-level fighters. This boss looked very good just now. He can't say anything at this moment. There is a big gap between each level of fighters. It is not so easy to cross over. This person is He is much more advanced than himself, if he confronts such a person. I have no chance of winning at all.
"You...you..." the boss just couldn't speak. The warrior's abilities can only be seen by soldiers, and other ordinary people can't see it at all. This boss's men are just like that. Going up with a weapon, this guy is so disrespectful to the boss. If you don’t teach this boy a lesson, I’m really sorry, but when they want to do it, they will be slapped aside by the boss. Damn it, isn’t it just death? I’m scared to die if I didn’t see the boss. What are you going to do? Are you opponents of others? If you want to fight with them, wait until you die. The people on our mountain are destroyed. What qualifications do you have to fight with others?
"Hehe, the little ones don’t understand. You can teach them slowly when you become the boss. Let these people go down the mountain first. I have something to talk to you about. You don’t let the guests stay here. I talked to you in an open air place, right?" Li Cong said with a smile. Chen Chuankui who was on the side looked stupid. What did Cao Ye say? The Cao family firm is capable, but these people in front of him are bandits. , They don’t buy any face, and they don’t know what Cao’s family of firms belonged to. Cao’s family of firms’ power seems to have nothing to do with them, and they don’t care about anyone.
"Yes, yes, please from the adults, please from the inside, Uncle Chen, people will come soon, you just wait here, I won't send them later." The boss said to Chen Chuankui that it is necessary Go in, don’t be jokes about this thing. Level 5 fighters are all great figures in a county. What's more, when you are here, you have talked to yourself about business. He has also heard that many great figures need some. People come to do things that they don’t want to do. Could it be that a big deal has not come to the door? I don’t even bother to look at the 20,000 catties of grain when I think about it. If this kind of business is done well, it is better to reward money alone. The one who is many times more, I still care about your little food, it won't.
Chen Chuankui and his party will continue to follow up, but Li Cong let them go back first. There is nothing wrong with Li Cong. Li Cong thought there would be some experts here. Now it seems that there are not so many things. It can be done. Just now, I saw that guy's archery skills, which can be said to be quite good.
The people under the bandits on this mountain all said how good their life is. From the top, Li knows how uncomfortable their life is. Also, how can they be comfortable? The life on this mountain It’s not very good. I lack this and that, especially this winter. This is all caves. The degree of heat preservation inside can be imagined. Every day, if it is not surrounded by a fire, no one can live. The food they eat every day is not like they say it is big fish and meat. Sometimes, there are two nests every day in winter, and there is nothing to do on the mountain. Every day, I just go out to find some branches and so on. Just come up and burn the fire honestly, and they have nothing else to do. When Li Cong walked in, the taste in the room was not very good. The cave is not breathable, so it is naturally bad. Now, such a cave can be said to be very warm, so naturally this summer will not live here.
"This gentleman, did you have any feasts with us in the past?" The master tentatively asked on the road, did he offend the family members when he robbed him before? Such things happen frequently. A group of bandits in Laolonggou offends a family. It seems that they have no ability at all. This family is very rich. The boss took someone to give I got the gun. Who knew there was a fourth-level fighter in the family. Nothing happened for a year or two. The bandits were robbing houses every day, so naturally they didn’t remember this incident. Three years later, a fourth-level fighter went up and killed. There are more than 500 people in the entire cottage.
"No, we haven’t seen each other before, and I’ve never been around here. I don’t have any relatives or friends around here. There is no need to test me. We have no grievances in the past, and we have no grudges recently. I didn’t come to the mountains. For revenge seekers, if it is true, I don’t need to come here to talk nonsense with you. I am here to discuss your future with you." Li Cong said with a smile, and found a clean place. Sit down, the cave is really a bit dirty.
"This gentleman is a member of the government? We can't do it here?" The boss's reaction speed is also very fast, and it quickly occurred to him that Li Cong is a member of the government, and only the people in the government can talk to bandits. What do we say about the future.
"No, but it's almost the same. I want to include you, don't raise objections. How much money you can make now, I will give you three times." Li Cong said, his words directly caused the people around to poke their ears. "Furthermore, if you have something in the past, I can help you to eliminate the case, but one day, you will be normal people. If you don’t forget the days of the bandits, or just stay on the mountain. I'm not welcome."
Eliminate the record? Such things can directly make everyone in it crazy. UU reading www.uukanshu.com, they often think about their relatives, and they also want to live upright, but do they have that qualification? Do you have that ability? No.
"You all go out. No one can come in without me." The boss glanced at the brothers around him. Normally, there are no rules. If they want to come in, they will come in. They can't talk about it. They all know. , One by one, although I just wanted to know what happened after listening to Li Cong's words, but the boss said that, he could only go out.
"Who are you? To be clear, why are you doing this for? It's impossible to be a good person?" The boss's head is naturally clearer than others, knowing that there is no pie in the sky, or It’s better to ask clearly, so as not to be sold later, I still help others count the money.
"Haha, it's very simple. I need a group of people to help me with some things. I am a member of the Cao Family Firm. You can know our firm as long as you go down the mountain and ask someone casually." To the boss's hideous face Li There was never any fear. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation...)
