PFC Chapter 108 New Hope, Horse Bandits Attack
Chapter 108 New Hope, Horse Bandits Attack
In the cold wind, Zhang Ye stood in the wilderness, holding the still warm salted duck egg, which felt like a thorn in his throat and he couldn't eat it.
"What's the matter, Master Ke, you don't like it?"
Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, the aunt thought that the food was not to her taste, then she took out a scallion from the basket and said with a smile.
"Try this, our local specialty, sweet and crispy."
"Okay, okay, let me try it." Zhang Ye took it with a smile, pinched the scallion that was a little frozen in the cold weather, and took a bite.
It tasted really good, just like what my aunt said, sweet and crispy, without the spiciness of ordinary green onions.
"Good, delicious." Zhang Ye nodded quickly after tasting it, then turned around and said, "See how many fellow villagers are here. Buy their food at twice the market price and bring it to the brothers to try."
"Okay, big brother..."
Lu Shan responded habitually, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue he realized what was happening and quickly turned around.
Otherwise, if the person standing in front of this aunt was the leader of the independence army, Marshal Zhang Ye, she would probably faint from fear.
"Double!?" Hearing that they were going to buy everything and were willing to pay double the price, the auntie couldn't stop laughing and hurriedly took out the things in the basket: "Master, you are such a kind person. You know how to pity us country folk."
"Haha, what's the difference between country folk and non-country folk? Everyone comes from the countryside."
Zhang Ye rolled duck eggs and green onions into pancakes, held the porcelain bowl in his left hand, ate the pancakes and drank water, it was so delicious.
"That's different. There aren't many people willing to be kind these days."
After the aunt finished tidying up her things, she wiped her hands on her apron and smiled with extraordinary happiness.
"You're willing to pay twice the price for something. This is clearly a way of helping us. Even though I'm from the countryside and not well-educated, I know what's good and what's bad."
"This amount of money may not mean much to you, but for people like us, it can do a lot of things."
"My little one is getting ready to go to school. With your money, I can sew him a nice new school bag."
"That's really good." Zhang Ye's depressed mood eased a lot after hearing this, and he continued to ask questions using this topic.
"School doesn't cost money, right? Children should study more and learn some real skills."
"That's right, going to school and studying is the right path." Talking about this, the old lady's smile widened, and even a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes: "We are lucky to have come when Marshal Zhang arrived. Not only did he reduce taxes, but he also allowed the children to go to school for free."
"In the past, this was a place only the eldest sons of landlords could go."
"Haha, everyone will be the same in the future. Our own children are no worse than those young masters."
Zhang Ye grinned, feeling a little proud inside.
As long as he can gain the recognition of the people, his efforts are not in vain.
Not long after, Lu Shan came back. After collecting all the things, he did not take them away, but distributed them to the passenger compartments on the spot.
They have dry food and a stove in their car so they can cook their own meals. In such cold weather, it would be more appropriate to give these things to those in need.
"Okay, thank you, Master Ke. You've been really helpful today."
After paying the bill, the aunt put the money away and prepared to go home with the empty basket.
The reason why we were able to sell so quickly today is all thanks to Zhang Ye’s generous donation.
"Walk slowly, the road is slippery, go home slowly!"
Zhang Ye waved at him, turned around and walked back, intending to go back to the carriage to warm up for a while.
……
"drive!"
"Drive!!"
bang bang bang! ! !
In the open wilderness, the cold wind howled, bringing biting cold.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by the dull sound of horse hooves, accompanied by faint gunshots, which made people alert.
Zhang Ye keenly noticed something unusual and quickly turned his head, staring at the direction where the sound came from.
I saw a gray-white mist rising from the snow, as if it was stirred up by some huge force.
As the sound of horse hooves became clearer, he realized that the situation was not good.
In the fog, the sound of horse hooves grew louder and louder, like an approaching storm.
Although the vision was obstructed and the exact number of people could not be seen, judging from the huge scale, there must be at least one or two hundred people.
They were like a raging torrent, rushing towards this side with unstoppable momentum.
"Fuck, horse bandits!?"
Lu Shan reacted the fastest. He immediately pulled out the pistol from his waist and stood in front of Zhang Ye.
"Let's go, Marshal. Let's go back to the car first. This place is not safe."
"Why are you leaving? What will happen to these people if I leave?!"
The smile on Zhang Ye's face disappeared. He turned to look at the bandits who were about to arrive and said coldly.
"I didn't expect that there would be bandits of this scale in my Donglu territory."
"Marshal, please come with me first. The guards will take care of the civilians!"
Seeing the bandit group getting closer and closer, Lu Shan was so anxious that he was almost sweating.
This icy and snowy place is a mess everywhere. He can't afford it if something goes wrong.
At this moment, the passengers on the train and the people selling food were also frightened. They were all busy running around, trying their best to hide their belongings.
These days, there are countless bandits coming and going. Although this group of people are panicked, they also have some strategies to deal with it.
Generally speaking, horse bandits only rob money and don't kill people very often. As long as you cooperate honestly, you will basically not lose your life.
Da da da da da…
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. The old lady who was selling duck eggs was trapped in an encirclement before she could go home. In order to keep the money she earned from selling things, she had no choice but to take a detour to leave.
Because she knew that if she was blocked by these bandits, all the things she had today would be wasted.
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots were heard again, and the bandit group had rushed to the front. Some sharp-eyed passengers could even see the shining big knives in their hands.
"Seal all the holes and kill anyone who dares to escape!"
Before anyone got close, they heard the leader's shouts from the bandit group.
With his order, those bastards had a complete blast, riding on horseback and starting to aim at those fleeing figures.
bang bang bang! ! !
Gunshots rang out one after another, and some passengers who were preparing to escape along the wilderness fell straight into the snow. The bright red blood was steaming and dyed the ground red.
"Everyone, don't move! Just lie still in the carriage and don't move!"
At that time, the guard company arrived from the back of the carriage, comforting the many passengers while preparing for battle.
There are more than 300 people in their two companies, so it is very easy to deal with this group of horse bandits.
The reason why I haven't taken action yet is that I want to wait for these people to get closer and then catch them all in one go!
blah blah blah...
In less than a minute, the horse team arrived in front of the passenger carriage. The dense group of bandits looked at the crowded carriage with green light in their eyes.
It has been snowing these days and they haven't been open for a long time.
Fortunately, I was lucky today and happened to catch the railway collapse. Otherwise, where would I be able to rob this truck of fat sheep!
