Chapter 510 Asking the Bandits for Money
The bandits asked one after another: "Boss, isn't the 'No Killing Day' on the ninth day of the ninth month? It's only March now, so it's still a long way off..."
He Cang said: "The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the 'Avoid Killing Day', and today is the third day of the third lunar month, which is called the 'No Killing Day'... I just forgot to tell you..."
Chu Xiaomu then realized that the so-called "No Killing Day" was just a temporary fabrication by He Cang. He thought that in order to save his own face, his brain worked very quickly.
The bandits were half-believing and half-doubting, thinking that if March 3rd was really the day when "Little Tushan" would not kill, why had they never heard you mention it in all these years, then you really had a very bad memory.
But he was the leader of the bandits after all, and his Force skills and martial arts were far superior to everyone else, so naturally no one said anything.
Chu Xiaomu smiled at Liu Zang and said, "How about it, Brother Liu? I told you there is a third option, right? If you are willing to accept the loss, remember to give me the prize."
When Liu Zang heard him call him "Brother Liu", he immediately thought of someone, and the more he looked at this person, the more he thought he looked like him. He hesitantly said, "You are... you are... Chu..."
Chu Xiaomu said hurriedly: "I am Lin Yuan who left Qingyuan to find medicine in Jieyun Mountain. How could you forget so quickly?"
Liu Zhang laughed and said, "Yes, Lin Yuan from Qing Yuan..."
The bald Liu with a long scar on his head shouted, "Since the leader said you can choose the third way, then you should choose it quickly! We still have to go back to the village to drink and sleep!"
Chu Xiaomu was not polite and said, "My third option is to ask He Bazi to give me some money for the shock and then send me out of Xiaotushan."
As soon as he said this, the bandits laughed and cursed, saying that he was daydreaming. The leader had already done his best by not killing him, and you dared to ask for money? It was always the Red Forehead Gang of Xiao Tushan that robbed others. I have never heard of others daring to rob the Red Forehead Gang! What's more, you are alone, why? !
But He Cang's behavior was beyond everyone's expectation. He said a few words to a brother beside him, and the man led a horse out from behind the house and flew away. It was obvious that he was going back to the village to get the silver.
He Cang smiled awkwardly and said, "I forgot to make it clear to all the brothers. Today is March 3rd, which is called the 'No Killing, Give Away Money Day' in our Xiaotushan. This little brother wants to spend some money, which is naturally a small matter, a small matter, haha..."
The bandits looked at each other, thinking that we had just called today "No Killing Day", and this guy asked for money, and now it has become "No Killing Day, Give Money Day". If this guy wants a woman, it can't become "No Killing Day, Give Money Day, Give Women Day", right? This is too ugly! Although we are bandits, we also think it is extremely ugly!
Fortunately, this boy surnamed Lin did not ask for a woman again. He just stood there with a smile and said nothing.
He Cang said, "Listen carefully, brothers. March 3 is indeed... it is indeed a special day for our Xiao Tushan. The reason why I have not told you all is that I am afraid that once it gets out, many people will come to the mountain to ask for money. No matter how much money we rob, I am afraid it will not be enough to give away... Therefore, brothers, you must keep this secret and don't let others know..."
The other bandits responded in a meek voice, except for the long-robed bandit with a mustache who shouted, "We will follow the orders of Chief He!"
Chu Xiaomu almost laughed out loud after hearing He Cang's nonsense.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, He Cang sent everyone back to the mountain stronghold, leaving only two personal bandits behind.
Liu Zang stood aside with a sad face and refused to leave. It seemed that he had not forgotten that he had lost the bet.
After a long time, the man sent by He Cang finally came back with a heavy sheepskin bag in his hand.
He Cang took it and said, "Brother Lin, I'm a man of my words. I'll take you down the mountain." Liu Zang hurriedly took the sheepskin bag again. Naturally, this kind of hard work should be done by him.
Chu Xiaomu bowed and said with a smile: "It's not that I have to trouble you, but the road into the mountain is a bit winding and I'm afraid I can't get out by myself."
He Cang said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay." Although this man secretly saved his face, he also slaughtered him severely, which was indeed not something to be happy about.
Chu Xiaomu whistled a few times and came running from the darkness. The gust of wind he raised made the faces of the people nearby hurt.
When He Cang saw that his mount was such a majestic horse, he became more convinced that the horse possessed unparalleled magical powers.
He Cang also asked someone to bring out a horse and got on its back. He told the other three bandits to wait while he personally escorted them. Liu Zang followed him all the way but said nothing.
The three men and two horses were heading towards the official road outside the mountain with torches. Chu Xiaomu asked He Cang to turn back, but He Cang insisted on sending him to the official road, saying that although he was a mountain bandit, he had to keep his word.
He Cang suddenly asked, "Where is Brother Lin from? Can you tell me?"
Chu Xiaomu was stunned and thought to himself, didn’t I tell you that I was from Qingyuan? Did you notice something wrong?
He Cang went on to say, "The accent of the Qingyuan people is a little different from that of the seven major cities of Cangmu Country. Although the difference is small, I can still hear it. Brother, if you want to use this identity to sneak into Jinyang City, it's fine if the people you meet are ordinary people, but if you meet a real Qingyuan person like me, you will definitely be exposed."
Chu Xiaomu had rarely heard of Qingyuan before. He knew that it was still a wilderness. Although there were people living there, they were all barbarians who refused to obey orders. It was said that there were still barbarians in the places farther away near the sea. Therefore, the three major cities of Jinyang City, Yutuo City, and Yancheng did not send troops to station troops there. Chenmu Pass in Jinyang City and Xiehua Pass in Yutuo City were also built on the edge of Qingyuan wilderness to prevent barbarians from breaking in.
I didn't expect He Cang to be from Qingyuan. I thought I should be careful about the accent and discuss it with Jinglan after I meet her. For now, I can only say that I will be careful and what I am planning is very important, and I have to go to Jinyang City.
He Cang asked about his master again, Chu Xiaomu laughed and said that what he was planning had not yet succeeded, so it was better not to talk about these things. If we meet again, he will definitely tell you clearly. He Cang did not ask any more.
He could only say, "Brother Lin, you have such amazing skills at such a young age. It is really admirable. Although I, He Cang, am a bandit, what I admire most in my life are great heroes and great men with abilities, such as General Bi Ye of Bicheng and the Sword Master of Jinyangcheng... Unfortunately, I don't know any of them. Today I am fortunate to meet you, Brother Lin. If there is anything you need me to do, just let me know."
