Chapter 18 The big man with long beard
When they heard that the bandits in the Hualin mountain village had raided down the mountain and were about to run away, the players of the Wan County Village Alliance suddenly became excited.

In their eyes, this wave of bandits is living and moving silver taels, which can be picked up. Who knew that the silver taels would fly away if they waited for such a little delay?

There were more than a dozen players arguing in the mayor's hall of Linshan Village. At this time, the players in this room were the elite lord players of Wan County. Each of them was a big boss who had developed the village into more than a thousand people.

If Li Xiaomeng knew that the population of some villages had grown to more than a thousand while the population of her village was still growing to a few dozen people, she would definitely be even more frustrated.

At this time, the head of Linshan Village, who was standing in the main seat, spoke:

"Stop arguing, the matter of electing the leader will be postponed, we will directly send troops to flatten the stronghold, and hunt down those bandits and rogues!"

The village chief of Linshan Village is named Sun Zhong. His family actually runs a business, and its scale is quite impressive in the local area. After he entered the game, he built the village and immediately let employees from the family business settle in and join Linshan Village.

By coincidence, Linshan Village is located not far from the south exit of Hualin Mountain. Business travelers coming out of Hualin Mountain must pass through Linshan Village if they want to go to Wan County.

After the change of heaven and earth, the territory expanded, and many people had to spend a lot of time crossing Hualin Mountain, so after they left Hualin Mountain, they would all come to Linshan Village to rest.

Over time, it brought a lot of economic benefits to Linshan Village, and many free villagers who escaped from Hualin Mountain also joined Linshan Village, making Linshan Village one of the first player villages in Wan County to reach the Thousand People Village.

Sun Zhong is one of the initiators of the Wan County Player Lords Alliance, and everyone will give him a little bit of favor.

As soon as Sun Zhong finished speaking, a bearded man next to him answered, "It's not too late, let's go, or they will all run away without a trace."

"and many more!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked a little shrewd stopped the people who were about to make a move. He thought for a while and said slowly:
"Our Wan County Alliance was first established, and today we were supposed to elect a leader..."

The bearded man sneered, and waved his hand to interrupt the shrewd man's words: "Haha, nomination? If we nominate the leader again, they will run away. Our alliance has just been established, and he failed the first mission? Village Chief Xiao , are you too impatient?"

The shrewd man was a little dumbfounded. He looked at the puzzled faces of the crowd, waved his hands and said, "You guys misunderstood. I just suddenly had a very good proposal."

"Listen to me, everyone is cooperating for the first time, and the abilities of each other are not very clear. If you want to recommend a leader, you can't choose it without spending a lot of effort."

"However, there is a good way at this time. Aren't those bandits going to escape into Hualin Mountain? Hualin Mountain has a complex terrain and a huge area. Although we have a large number of people, it is still stretched to spread across the entire Hualin Mountain. .”

"Now it's better to compare whoever catches more bandits and has a higher status will be the leader of our Wanxian Players Alliance!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, thinking about each other.

The bearded man clapped his hands fiercely, and shouted excitedly: "Good idea, Lao Mo, your idea is good!"

Mo Linghua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He already knew that this big man was often messed up, so he wasn't very angry when he interrupted him just now.

Sun Zhong pondered for a moment and raised a question,
"But how do you know whether the person captured is the bandit?"

Mo Linghua laughed, "That's simple. We can't catch every bandit, right? We just need to let those bandits identify each other."

"I don't think everyone will lose this person, just find a few people to replace him?"

"Okay! That's the arrangement, I'm off!"

The bearded man's eyes lit up, and he hurried out without waiting for everyone's consent.

All the village chiefs looked at each other, was it decided or not?

Sun Zhong looked at the big bosses who were at a loss, and made a decision: "Okay, if everyone has no objections, let's make this decision. Although it is a bit hasty, it is still a good idea."

……

The big bearded man walked out of the hall, his expression immediately became serious, he came to the entrance of the village, looked at the disorganized marching tents, and couldn't help sneering: "A bunch of mobs!"

He identified the direction and strode to a place where there was a lot of people talking. He saw three women talking together from a distance, and his expression softened.

When he came to the front, the bearded man was a little surprised to see his little sister hugging a familiar girl, crying and fussing, while his wife was gently comforting them.

The bearded man came to his wife, patted her on the shoulder quietly, and asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

Before the woman could answer, the two girls who were hugging each other seemed to sense that someone was coming, and reluctantly separated.

One of the girls was wearing a sackcloth village girl's uniform, with bright eyes and bright teeth, it was Li Xiaomeng, and when she saw the big bearded man approaching, she felt a little shy.

Another girl was wearing a cloth lady's outfit, and she also looked cute and dashing.

When the girl saw her brother coming, she shouted with joy: "Brother, brother, look who this is?"

The bearded man was startled when he heard the words, and looked over at Li Xiaomeng. The more he looked, the more familiar he became. My little sister asked himself this way, she must be an acquaintance of his family. The shadows overlapped.

"You, are you Xiaomeng?!"

Li Xiaomeng replied with some anxiety: "Big cousin, it's me..."

The bearded man was immediately overjoyed, and then became furious: "I said you, a little girl, learned to run away from home right after graduation, and you left for more than half a year, which made us worried to death!"

When Li Xiaomeng heard this, she shrank behind the girl, a little nervous, but hesitated to speak.

When the girl heard that her brother was furious, she immediately became angry too, "I said brother, we finally met Xiaomeng, and if you scare her away, I will ignore you in the future, besides, Xiaomeng ran away from home Isn't there a reason, if you want me to say, Auntie and the others only care about their new son-in-law, they have already ignored Xiaomeng, otherwise with their means, they can't find Xiaomeng?"

The big bearded man was startled, he wanted to express his anger but couldn't express it, looked at Li Xiaomeng who was shrinking behind his little sister, looked at her slightly thin face, he couldn't help sighing, his voice became softer,
"Okay, okay, it's my brother's fault, Xiaomeng, what's the matter, come to elder brother, now that you disappear, what if something happens?"

At this time, the gentle woman standing aside interrupted the conversation of several people, she pulled the arm of the big bearded man, and said angrily: "Okay, don't criticize Xiaomeng as soon as you come up, have you finished discussing? What? Out?"

Hearing the words, the bearded man immediately shifted his attention, and then he remembered that there were still things he hadn't arranged.

"The Hualin Mountain bandits have broken through and come down the mountain. Now they are escaping into the mountain. I have to quickly arrange for my subordinates to pursue them. This is related to our future development!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Li Xiaomeng and continued: "You will follow your sister-in-law later and stop running around. I have to talk about you after the matter is over!"

After finishing speaking, the big bearded man strode towards his village and camp, and after a while, the camp began to stir up commotion.

The girl took Li Xiaomeng's hand and said to her, "That's great, Xiaomeng, we actually came to a county, and we can meet often in the future."

"Come on, I'm going to catch bandits soon, hehe, it should be very interesting!"

Li Xiaomeng wiped away her tears and nodded. She was also a little happy. The family of the bearded man was the children of her aunt. The bearded man was her cousin, named Zhou Minghua, and this girl was named Zhou Mingyu, who was about the same age as her and older than herself She was born more than a month earlier, and the gentle woman next to her is Zhou Minghua's daughter-in-law, named Lin Xi.

Li Xiaomeng looked at Zhou Mingyu, who was eager to try, and couldn't help feeling a little envious, and then asked: "Didn't the eldest cousin tell us to wait for him here, will chasing bandits be dangerous?"

Zhou Mingyu waved his little hand, and said with some pride: "Xiaomeng, follow sister, don't be afraid, when sister is in the village, she often takes people out to catch bandits, you don't know, fighting is fun!"

Li Xiaomeng was also infected by Zhou Mingyu's optimism. Hearing this, he thought for a while and nodded. He also wanted to see how to fight a war. "Okay, then let's be careful. Also, when are you my sister?"

"Hey, I'm a month older than you. I'm my sister. Come on, call me sister. I'll protect you from now on!"

"Hmph, smelly Mingyu, sister, sister, can you see that you are as developed as me?"

"You stinky girl, you have become so bad, I'll scratch you to death!"

"Giggle, stop scratching, giggle, let's go!"

"..."

Lin Xi looked at the pair of sisters playing with each other with some amusement, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes.

……

Li Chengqian moved forward cautiously with the large army. There were many old and weak women and children in the team, which made the whole team move very slowly.

Chen Lin led other strong men and looked around vigilantly, while two strong men were exploring the way ahead.

In fact, at this time, Li Chengqian had every chance to escape alone. After all, he still had the ability to travel a thousand miles a day, and most people would not be able to move as fast as him.

But after thinking about it, he still planned to act together with the large army for a while. He was not familiar with Hualin Mountain, and he was easy to get lost. In addition, he also had some feelings for these bandits, especially since there were many of his own in it. Students, so he thought about helping them on the road as much as he could, and then acted cheaply after the large forces were out of crisis.

After walking for more than an hour, suddenly, arrows shot out from the left and right sides.

"alert!!"

Chen Lin roared angrily, raised the knife in his hand and kept slashing at the incoming arrows.

Li Chengqian dodged left and right. He didn't have any weapons in his hand, so he could only dodge. Fortunately, it was not convenient to shoot arrows in the dense forest, and there were not many arrows. After resisting for a while, the enemy's attack stopped.

Only one old man in the bandit team was accidentally scratched, and everyone else was safe and sound.

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the situation, this wave of arrows is to hold him and the others back?Or, the enemy doesn't have many arrows?

To be honest, this was the first time Li Chengqian was attacked on such a scale in this world, and he was still a little nervous.

Chen Lin roared angrily: "Where did the thief come from? Dare to block the way of your grandpa Chen?"

"Encircle!"

Hearing a burst of drinking in the woods, a group of people slowly appeared.There are about a hundred people in this group, and all of them are middle-aged men.

Li Chengqian quickly and roughly scanned the group of people in front of him with the secret technique, and secretly groaned in his heart.

Although the number of people in this wave is not large, their strengths are close to those of bandits. Although the number of people on my side is larger than them, they are basically old, weak, women and children who have no combat power. There are only a dozen strong men. It is possible for a man to fight two against one, or even against more people, but in a real fight, the chances of winning by himself and others are not high.
