Chapter 8 The Bandits Are Coming
Chapter 8 The Bandits Are Coming
Reduced to prisoners, they were escorted to the remote Yizhou by guards, and they were escorted along the way with food and grass, but they were not allowed to touch the food and grass. For dinner, they only had dry and hard pancakes to fill their stomachs, and there was very little water. Under the weather, it has already deteriorated and a little sour.
When the sun goes down, the road ahead is dark, and only then can they stop and rest.Walking to the mountain road, the narrow mountain road is surrounded by mountains. They can pick up a lot of dry firewood and light it for lighting.
Fire is a milestone in human history. It is with fire that food can be cooked and humans start to use tools.
They were ransacked in the middle of the night, and they were still wearing the same set that night. Some people heard the movement and were dressed neatly, but some people were more miserable, such as Li Yao, who was still wearing the same white and thin obscene clothes. During the dusty journey in the past few days, he is no longer as white and clean as before, and the white has also turned into apricot yellow, but compared to the dirty and tattered clothes of others, he is already very tidy.
The temperature difference between night and day in the mountains is huge, and the fire can give them a little warmth.And the fire of the guards will not be used by these prisoners, as long as they don't die, they will be responsible.
Except for a few males, the whole group was old, weak, sick and disabled. Qin Xiangyu could barely move while sitting there, Li Lin had already fallen asleep leaning on Lian Ruyi, and all the female relatives sat there and began to rest.The two patriarchs, Li Bing and Li Baixi, took their sons to pick up some dry firewood nearby. They could only stay around and not leave the guard's sight, otherwise they would be whipped again.
Li Yao was also called by the original father Li Bing. Qin Xiangyu felt sorry for her son who carried her away for a day, but was embarrassed to let him not go. After all, all the men went to collect dry firewood, and she was an aunt, timid. Cowardly, he had no choice but to watch him leave helplessly.
Even if they are men, they have never done rough work. They have long been exhausted, and they can only pick up some short branches nearby, which are not as thick as two fists.
Li Bing sighed, seeing that the sky had already darkened, I was afraid it would be inconvenient, and the guards would come to drive them away, saying: "Forget it, don't pick it up, just take these back, let them rest early after the fire is finished."
In this situation, even Li Baixi, the former minister of the Ministry of War, could do nothing, he could only call his sons back.
The few people were not far away, and they all gathered in a while. Li Bing was about to approach the female relatives, but someone suddenly made a sound.
"One person is missing," said Li Bing's eldest son, Li Sheng.
Li Bing counted and didn't think of it for a while.
"Li Yao is gone." Second son Li Sheng added.
Li Bing's face changed, he was indeed missing, he almost forgot that he still had this son.Immediately, he was a little angry again, this youngest son really failed to succeed and failed, and he could disappear after doing such a little thing, so he was not as worry-free as his legitimate son.
"Ah!" Someone exclaimed slightly.
In the nearly dark night, a figure emerged from the shadows of trees, walking towards them.
After approaching, when the darkness faded, the slender figure finally revealed its true face.
"It's... Li Yao!"
That face was still beautiful in the darkness, and his thin body was holding a half-person-high dry wood in one hand and a rabbit in the other.
It gave everyone a great visual shock.
Where did he find so many dead branches and hunt a rabbit in such a short time?
Although Li Bing was only a sixth-rank official, his life was still considered rich, so he wouldn't let his son go hunting, so how could he be able to hunt?
With a questioning attitude, Li Bing was the first to ask.
"Where did you go just now? Where did the rabbit come from?"
Li Yao said blankly one by one with a blank face: "It's nearby, I picked it up."
Everyone's expressions were subtle.
Picked up?
Who is this deceiving?
But seeing that the boy's arms and legs are not as strong as the Li Baixi's son of the same age, it is even more unreliable to say that he hunted the rabbit, let alone in such a short period of time.
Everyone can only choose a more reliable reason to believe.
Li Sheng walked over, wanting to share the weight of some dry firewood for Li Yao.
"Third brother, let me get it for you."
Those swarthy eyes glanced at him, ignored him, and walked directly towards the female relative.
Li Sheng was stunned on the spot.
And Li Bing's face suddenly pulled down.
In the eyes of others, this is undoubtedly the elder brother's behavior of cherishing the younger brother, but the younger brother is disrespectful.
Only Li Baixi saw through this move. The half-person-high dry firewood, which the seemingly thin young man held easily, would have crushed him instantly if it had been given to Li Sheng.It is estimated that the young man also knew this truth, so he did not give it.
So he looked at the slender figure with more intriguing eyes.
The female relative was a little surprised when she saw the rabbit, she just thought it was Li Yao who helped to bring it back, thinking that there would be meat to eat tonight, her tired face couldn't help showing a gleam of joy.Only after Qin Xiangyu was happy, she noticed that her emaciated son had taken so many things, and thought it was the way to bully the concubine in the mansion, she felt distressed, but she didn't dare to say it, and could only look at Li Yao with tears in her eyes.
Li Yao sensed that she was about to urinate again, and turned to stare at her: "Don't cry."
Qin Xiangyu was stunned by the shout.
Li Yao was a little puzzled: "Crying when there is food?"
Qin Xiangyu threw herself on him and cried: "Mother loves you...it's all because mother is useless..."
Li Yao let Qin Xiangyu hang on his body.
He couldn't understand this ancient woman, who cried when she was happy, when she was unhappy, when she was tired, and when she had food, wouldn't she be out of balance because of this?
Even if the citizens of the Federal Republic of China are women, they have long lost the emotion of crying. They are independent, strong and very powerful. The female soldiers he encountered in the energy war can beat him straight up.
He thought that with fire and food, Qin Xiangyu could be quiet for a while, but it seemed impossible.
Li Yao sat on the ground, Qin Xiangyu cried for a while and leaned against him weakly.
He watched blankly as the men rubbed their fingers against the pile of dry wood for a long time.
"Are they trying to light a fire?"
Love Wisdom Brain: "Yes, in ancient times, humans made fire by drilling wood. This is the most primitive way of making fire."
Qin Xiangyu thought that Li Yao was asking her, so she said, "Yeah, just wait for your father and your brother to get things done, and we won't make any trouble."
Li Yao nodded, got up, and walked towards them.
Li Bing put on a straight face, and used to say in the tone of the head of the family: "Don't come to make trouble!"
Li Yao picked up a branch as thick as a finger, and quickly rotated and rubbed his palms together. It took two seconds to perfectly demonstrate how to make fire by drilling wood.
The people who have just tossed for a long time: "..."
The fire light shone on his face, flickering on and off. He turned his head and said calmly to Li Bing, "This is Zhuanmu. You call it rubbing wood."
Just now these people rubbed a branch for a long time, but it can't make a fire, so it can only be called rubbing wood.
Li Bing, who had been taught a lesson by his son, froze on the spot.
This night, although they were still sleeping in the open, it was the best night for this group of people on their way these days. They ate rabbit meat and had firewood for warmth. After a while, all the people fell into a deep sleep.
Listening to Qin Xiangyu's steady breathing beside him, Li Yao accurately threw dry firewood into the fire when the fire was a little weaker, and the fire returned to normal.
He absorbed a lot of energy during the day, and now he is wrapping around with mental power to repair his body functions.
Humans can't see it with the naked eye, but his skin is surrounded by a light blue flowing water-like aura, which is very beautiful.
If it weren't for the fact that this body is too useless and the energy is not enough, it will not be repaired in a short while, he can only hunt a rabbit, and he has brought back a wild boar.
Love Zhinao: "At three o'clock on the left, he is about 45 years old, with a medium build. A man named Li Baixi is watching you secretly. At six o'clock on the right, he is 12 years old and has a strong build. He is 32 meters away. The man at Supervisor Zhang is slowly approaching you."
Li Yao: I know what you said.Tell me something I don't know.
Love Wisdom Brain: "The former one can be ignored. The latter one, it is detected that the secretion of prostatic hormones and adrenal hormones in his body increases, the spongy muscles relax, the blood vessels of the spongy tissue are filled, and they are in a working state,"
In the end, the love intelligence brain came to a conclusion: "He seems to want to have breeding behavior with you."
Li Yao doesn't quite understand the origin of this: our pairing will never reproduce the best quality offspring, why does this ancient human want to reproduce with me?
Love Wisdom Brain was shocked: "He may be in love with you."
At this moment, Zhang Jiantou, who wanted to breed with him, had already walked up to him, his face was full of pimples, his small eyes shone with ill intentions, and he stretched out a hand wretchedly to put on Li Yao's slender shoulders , with a ferocious face, said: "Don't be afraid, come with me, or you will have good fruit to eat." As he said, he pulled out the whip on the side to signal.
The love intelligence brain seriously suggests: "If the other party falls in love with you, your love task may be accelerated."
Li Yao immediately stood up, nodded, and said, "Let's go." He took the lead and walked towards the grove that Supervisor Zhang wanted to take him into.
Supervisor Zhang didn't expect it to go so smoothly, the other party neither yelled nor yelled but cooperated so well.When he turned his head, he saw another person who was not asleep. He drew out his whip and threatened him.
Love Brain: "According to the book records, he took you to a remote grove and will confess his love to you soon."
So Li Yao stood still and turned to wait for Supervisor Zhang.
When Supervisor Zhang saw the young man, he thought that he was right, this is really a beauty, and then he stretched out his hand to hug Li Yao.
At this time, a strange number suddenly appeared!
Torches were lit all over the mountain, there was the sound of horseshoes rushing forward, and there was a faint arrogant roar echoing in the mountains.
Inspector Zhang's face turned pale, he quickly let go of Li Yao, rushed out and shouted: "The bandits are coming!!"
Bandits are coming and they are surrounded! ! !
