Chapter 232 Buy a Mountain for You
Hawkeye laughed in silence.
When had he ever seen the white falcon look so cuddly?
So, whether it is a human or a bird, they all admire the strong.
Hawkeye waved his hand, and everyone in the Black Eagle Village looked at the little dumpling in unison, "Boss!"
Little Dumpling: “…”
Little Dumpling was having so much fun playing with her new big pet that she had no time to pay attention to them.
Zhao Xingjian spoke on his behalf, "There's no need to call me 'Boss.' Since you've decided to follow Xiao Jiuer, you must be resolute..."
Zhao Xingjian didn't say the words "turn over a new leaf" in the end.
If he had not experienced wandering outside for many years, he would definitely not be able to understand the bandits' position.
But now, he understands.
Having seen so much suffering among the people, he knew that bandits were not necessarily bad, and officials were not necessarily good.
"Who is this?" Eagle Eyes looked at Zhao Xingjian.
"My surname is Zhao. I'm a teacher in Heihe Village and also Xiao Jiuer's family member." Zhao Xingjian said.
"Hello, Master Zhao." Hawkeye smiled, "I'm getting more and more confused. The county magistrate's surname is Zhou, and he says he's our young ancestor's uncle; the teacher's surname is Zhao, and he says he's our young ancestor's relative. And as far as I know, our young ancestor's surname is Ye."
"It's all fate." Zhao Xingjian said, "Just like you and Xiao Jiuer."
Hawkeye nodded, "Master, now I understand what you said."
Zhao Xingjian said, "County Magistrate Zhou is actually my junior fellow apprentice. The reason I followed Xiao Jiuer here today was actually to speak well of him."
Hawkeye sighed, "Master, there's no need to say anything nice. Just because County Magistrate Zhou is my uncle, I can't hold him responsible for what he did!"
Zhao Xingjian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "However, I still want to ask, what do you think about County Magistrate Zhou leading his troops to encircle and suppress the Black Eagle Village the night before yesterday?"
Hawkeye's scarred face revealed a wry smile. "Master, your question is really unnecessary. I'm a bandit. Although I'm trying to reform myself, I'm still a king of the mountain. He's an official. Although he doesn't act like one, he still represents the government. It's perfectly normal for him to attack Black Eagle Village."
Zhao Xingjian nodded. "Since you see it so clearly, why were you so angry yesterday?"
"I'm not angry because he attacked Black Eagle Village, but because we agreed on terms, but they went back on their word and released us. They have absolutely no credibility!"
"The shooting of the arrows was definitely not arranged by him," said Zhao Xingjian.
"It doesn't matter anymore," said Hawkeye. "Everyone thinks the government's crackdown on bandits is justified, but I find it illogical. In my eyes, Black Eagle Village isn't a group of bandits, but rather a collection of homeless, pathetic people. The government's crackdown on bandits is nothing more than abusing their power to bully the weak. Master, of course, won't think I'm right, but I don't think I'm wrong."
Zhao Xingjian shook his head and smiled, "No, I think you're right."
Hawkeye looked at Zhao Xingjian in surprise: "Master, are you joking?"
"I'm telling you the truth. In today's world, the government is forcing the people to rebel. Unless it's absolutely necessary, who would be willing to become a bandit?"
Hawkeye was surprised and said, "I thought scholars were all pedantic and didn't understand the hardships of life. Master, your words really make me look at you in a new light!"
Zhao Xingjian waved his hand. "He's just older and more experienced. Speaking of which, County Magistrate Zhou actually agrees with me. You may not believe it, but the suppression of the bandits was just a whim of his. He never thought that bandits were necessarily bad people."
Hawkeye smiled and said, "Master, there's really no need to keep speaking well of him. I, Hawkeye, will keep my word. The siege of Black Eagle Village is over. As long as he doesn't stir up trouble again, we will naturally live in peace. I won't cause him any trouble."
"No, I hope you cause trouble for him." Zhao Xingjian said.
"What?" Hawkeye was completely stunned. "Master, aren't you here to lobby for him?"
"No, no! On the contrary, I hope you can make him suffer a little more."
This is the real purpose of Zhao Xingjian's visit to Hawkeye today. He hopes Hawkeye can help Zhou Huaining understand the real suffering of the people.
Hawkeye twitched his lips and said, "The master has found the wrong person. I don't have time to entertain a playboy like him."
"Just listen to me..."
Zhao Xingjian was about to continue speaking when he saw a familiar large carriage galloping from the village entrance.
The carriage stopped and Wu Yong jumped out. He was shocked to see a crowd of unshaven men in front of him.
When he saw Zhao Xingjian, his eyes lit up, "Master Zhao!"
Zhao Xingjian felt a headache and looked inside the carriage, "Why are you here again?"
If he came over at this time, I wonder if Hawkeye could resist beating him up.
"The Master didn't come!"
"He didn't come?"
Wu Yong nodded.
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to deliver something to Lord Zhao on the orders of the young master." Wu Yong took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Zhao Xingjian.
Zhao Xingjian opened it and took a look. "Is this... Shan Qi?"
Wu Yong nodded, "The young master said that he bought a mountain for Lord Zhao as a gift."
Zhao Xingjian closed the booklet and said, "What's wrong with your young master? Why did he buy a mountain for me for no reason?"
Wu Yong walked closer and whispered, "The young master said that this mountain is where the Black Eagle Village is located. He bought it as a gift to Lord Zhao. Lord Zhao can give it to anyone he wants..."
Seeing the two of them whispering there, Eagle Eye said hello to Xiao Jiuer and led his brothers to leave.
"Brother Hawkeye, wait a minute!" said Zhao Xingjian.
Hawkeye turned around and asked, "Master, is there anything else?"
"Someone just gave me a mountain, and now I give it to you." Zhao Xingjian walked over. "Here is the mountain deed, keep it."
Hawkeye was stunned. "Master, what did you say? Give me a mountain?"
"Take it!" Zhao Xingjian said, "This mountain is where the Black Eagle Village is located."
Hawkeye's mouth opened wide and couldn't close.
All the brothers from the Black Hawk Village were stunned on the spot.
Someone actually bought the Black Eagle Village and gave it to Master Zhao?
And Master Zhao gave it to the Black Eagle Village?!
Zhao Xingjian said, "With this mountain deed, Black Eagle Village will no longer be a banditry that rules the mountain. You will have your own home."
Tears flashed in Hawkeye's eyes. "Master, I... I... I don't believe it... I've never encountered such a good thing that fell from the sky..."
Zhao Xingjian sighed and stuffed the mountain deed into his hands.
"Brother Hawkeye, I've never encountered such a good thing. But today, thanks to you, I encountered it."
