Through the struggle of farming

In the scorching sun, Lu Jinliu looked up at the sky, took off the water bottle on his waist and drank it to the end before quenching his thirst.

The last time he went out was in the spring of last year, but now it's almost autumn, so he has been away for more than a year and a half, and he wonders if his home is still safe? !

Thinking of the little guy who was wrinkled in frustration when he was about to leave, Lu Jinliu felt a sweetness in his heart, wondering how to coax him back home with a little joy!

"Master, you can enter Qiyuan County after passing the Qutian Valley in front. Do you want to go there first or take a rest!"

Qutian Valley, as the name suggests, has rugged and narrow roads. Not only is it difficult to walk, but it is also known to be dangerous because this unique terrain is extremely easy to ambush.

Lu Jinliu called Zhou Xiaohe over, "Xiaohei, what do you want?"

Zhou Xiaohei was almost fourteen, and he was already a handsome young man.At this time, he was standing silently behind Lu Jinliu. Hearing this, he looked back at the accompanying man, thought for a while and said, "Everyone didn't have much rest this day. It's not easy to walk in Qutiangu. It's better to keep your spirits up." !"

Lu Jinliu nodded in satisfaction, Zhou Xiaohei was loyal and diligent, and his mind was still alive.Lu Jin has the heart of cultivation, and will give pointers to everything he thinks of along the way.

Lu Jinliu patted Zhou Xiaohei on the shoulder, "You're half right, it's not just about the difficulty of walking, the world is getting more and more chaotic now. You must remember that when traveling long distances, you must be cautious in the mountains, forests and valleys. !"

Zhou Xiaohei: "But, it's only one day away from Qiyuan County!"

Lu Jinliu looked at the distance and sighed: "The problem is that this is closer to Cuiping Mountain! It may not take an hour to drive the horse at full speed."

Zhou Xiaohei was taken aback, and then looked at Lu Jinliu with a sense of shame.Only after he had learned a lot from Lu Jinliu did he realize how lucky he was.Not to mention anything else, Lu Fang was much more capable than him, so he was still sold to Lu Jinliu.And he was raised by Lu Jinliu with good food and drink, and he was cultivated with all his heart.

Thinking about my previous ambitions, it might seem ridiculous to my elder brother, but he still accepted it in the end.Zhou Xiaohei is grateful. He decided early on that he would help Lu Jinliu in his life and was willing to work hard, but sometimes he was a little 'stupid'.

Lu Jinliu patted the back of his head amusedly, "Okay, why do you have so many ideas at such a young age! If you want me to say, you should just stay at home and don't know what to do when you come out?"

Zhou Xiaohei said aggrievedly: "I can help too!"

Lu Jinliu: "I didn't say you are useless, but after all, you are still young, and going out is not as comfortable as being at home!"

Zhou Xiaohei was so moved, he puffed out his chest and said loudly: "I'm not afraid of suffering, if I come out a few more times, I can help more!"

Regarding this point, Lu Jinliu had no choice but to let it go for a long time.

After the group of people rested enough, Lu Fang went to the line and beat everyone up.When they entered the valley again, everyone became vigilant.

"That's not right!" Lu Jinliu squinted his eyes and murmured.

"what happened?"

Lu Fang stepped forward and asked, after all, he had only worked as a shopkeeper, and he was good at running a business, but he didn't have much experience in running a business.

Lu Jinliu said casually, "Don't look, I don't remember that the grass is so lush on the mountainside in front of you."

After all, Lu Fang is a person who has seen the big world, his face is calm, and he just asks in a low voice: "Then what should we do now?"

Lu Jinliu: "Having walked in, there is absolutely no reason to retreat. Turn around from the west corner."

Lu Fang understood, and just calmly directed the team to the target point.

The west corner can also pass through the valley normally, but there is a natural sloping mountain wall covering it. As long as you find the blind spots on both sides of the valley, if someone can't see clearly what's going on inside.

When he arrived at the place, Lu Jinliu raised his hand to stop the team and explained the current situation.

The atmosphere was tense at once. Luckily, Lu Jinliu held the deeds of prostitution for these people. It was not like they had never encountered bandits in the past. Everyone was well-trained and there was no noise.

Zhou Xiaohei said with a bit of distress: "Brother, do you want to spend money again?"

When encountering bandits before, Lu Jinliu's side was not weak, but he didn't insist on making it difficult for bandits, as long as he gave some passing money, although sometimes bumps and bumps were inevitable, but in the end everyone lived in peace. .

Lu Jinliu had no choice but to do things that could be done with money?

"The bandit's business, if it's just for tolls, it won't be so tightly hidden. You have never seen a caravan enter the valley before and the bandit hasn't heard anything. Then it's probably because we have to go deeper, so we won't run away. People!"

Zhou Xiaohei was startled, "These people have no grievances, why do they want our lives?"

Lu Jinliu: "If they ask for too much, or even have a bigger appetite, most of the caravan will not agree!"

Zhou Xiaohei understood in seconds, it seemed that they had encountered a group of greedy bandits, sighed twice, and took out the big knife Lu Jin left for him to fight.

Lu Jinliu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "You can find a place to hide for a while, and come out when you're done."

Zhou Xiaohei resolutely said: "No, I have been practicing martial arts for almost four years, and I am better than ordinary people. Besides, I still want to protect you!"

Lu Jinliu had a headache, but Zhou Xiaohei couldn't do anything about it when he was stubborn, so he couldn't waste his time now.In the end, he had no choice but to assign tasks based on his experience and memories from the first glimpse.

If you can't go forward, you can't go back, and you can only fight hard.Relying on Liu Changmao's relationship, Lu Jinliu upgraded his small caravan to a medium-sized one, but he didn't support 100 people, and it was less than 50 people at full count.

Immediately, he arranged to sneak around to the back with good skills, and Lu Jinliu pointed to a few places that he thought were suspicious. After going around, if someone tried not to disturb the other party, no one would come to support him.Believe in the whistle, where there are people blow the whistle to signal everyone to act together.

As for the goods, Lu Jin stayed where he was and didn't let anyone guard him. He thought that if he couldn't beat him, he would run away with his people.Bandits may not necessarily chase after goods if they have a bottom.

Those goods were just goods brought by Lu Jinliu from other places, mainly for Liu Changmao's favor, and also to satisfy the old man's pleasure in doing business.

The only pity is that there are still some novelties in it that he wants to bring to his family for food and clothing, and he doesn't know if he can keep them in the end.

Lu Jinliu led Zhou Xiaohei and his two brothers Zhao Yong and Zhao Hu to climb up the cliff quietly. The wind and grass were low all around, and it was so close to him that it was impossible to look human.

Zhou Xiaohei breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he was only a 14-year-old boy, although he was bold, he was also limited.

Lu Jinliu pressed Zhou Xiaohei's shoulder and motioned everyone to follow him.The cave in front that was blocked by rocks always felt weird, and after taking a few steps closer, I heard voices. Lu Jinliu listened and signaled the two brothers of the Zhao family to go around and guard on the other side of the rock.

"Why do you think the big master insists on us to rob, there is no shortage of food and clothing in the village!" This is a dissatisfied voice.

"Shut up! Which brother in the cottage is as happy as us, not short of food and clothing, and not begging for life at the knife's edge. It's rare to be sent once, how dare you complain?"

The owner of the blustery voice was obviously embarrassing this time, "I'm not dissatisfied, I'm just curious. Even if we want to rob, our bandits are not bandits, why did the superiors order that no one should be left alive?"

"Don't question the words above, do what you are told, why are there so many questions? I will listen carefully and send you to the torture chamber."

This time there was a clear silence for a while, and then the breathy voice sounded again: "Isn't it just talking to you two brothers! Our three brothers have a friendship before entering the stockade, you will never betray me!"

At this time, another rough voice that had never appeared before said: "Hey, you should pay more attention to yourself, you son of a bitch! Whenever your misfortune came from your mouth, it wasn't the elder brother who helped you. If you want me to tell you, I have to let you try it!" Bitter fruit."

"Huang Laosan, don't talk about me. If it's not for your big brother to watch over your bad temper, whoever gets into trouble if you don't keep it safe."

"Fuck you, what are you talking about, you little bastard?"

"Shh!"

A sharp and loud whistle rang out with two points of sternness, and the tense atmosphere inside suddenly eased.

"Stop making noise, go out and have a look!"

As the footsteps got closer, Lu Jinliu stared closely at the rock, and when a shadow appeared on it, he violently struck.

He drew the knife on his back and hit the person on the head with the blade of the knife. The person was startled and hurriedly turned his head to avoid it, and then he was slapped on the back by the knife and fell to the ground.Lu Jinliu ignored the people on the ground and attacked the one who was closer.

In this fight, the only use of the Zhao brothers and Zhou Xiaohei is probably to tie them up.

After the end, Lu Jinliu touched the knife in his hand, quite pleased with himself.Well, in this "scientific" ancient time, not only did I practice martial arts, but I also possessed strange strength, so I am invincible.

What is that called?Dugu Qiubai or Dongfang Invincible?

Lu Jinliu trembled, shocked by his success, never thought that he would have such a day in the second year of middle school!

Lu Jinliu left someone to watch over the captives, while he hurried to help himself, and finally ended the battle before sunset and gathered all the people together.

Lu Jinliu looked at his subordinates, and obviously felt that they were a little different, more determined and courageous, but he could also see the discomfort on his face.That’s right, even if the ancients had a more indifferent attitude towards life, they were still human after all!

Lu Jinliu straightened his expression and took two steps forward, and said sternly: "Look at the comrades next to you, everyone is injured, some are seriously injured, and they won't be able to do heavy work after they can't take care of themselves! Patting his chest Ask yourself, if we hadn’t discovered this gang of bandits earlier today, would we have been so lucky and no one had died? Who among you would dare to tell me that you were the one who survived?”

The people below looked at each other, thinking about the consequences, they couldn't help shivering. Fortunately, fortunately, they were not the ones who died!

Lu Jinliu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the reaction below, and said in a relieved tone: "You have entered my Lu family, you are members of my Lu family, and you are doing things for Lu. Lu is not the pickpocket who crossed the river and demolished the bridge. , treat the injured, no matter how serious they are, they will be treated and raised!"

The people below were relieved, especially those who were seriously injured. Originally, the contract of sale was in their hands. If they thought it would cost money to die, they would have to pay for it themselves.You must know that the cost of medicine is not necessarily cheaper than buying a new slave!

Lu Jinliu continued: "You guys did a great job today. After you go back, each of you will get two extra months' money."

Immediately, his face was overjoyed, and the discomfort from seeing the blood just now finally eased a lot.

Lu Fang: "Young master, are these bandits going to be sent to officials?"

Lu Jinliu's eyes flickered for two minutes, and he replied: "Of course, bandits and bandits are the government's business!"

Turning around, he secretly ordered Lu Fang to find an opportunity to release the angry one among the three, behind his back to the still living captive, and then get someone to arrest him and hide him.

He still remembered the conversation in the cave, at first he also thought it was an ordinary bandit, but it sounded suspicious.

They went down the mountain to rob them specially, and even killed them, it seems that it was a personal enmity.Next, a cottage that doesn't rely on looting and looting to live comfortably, how wrong it is to think!

Although it seems that they don't know much, but they all have a grudge, so it's always good to know a little bit!If everything is handed over to the government, what else can he know!
