Chapter 458: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor of the Founding of the Country 69
The west side is not only empty but also desolate, and it is also troublesome to go down the mountain. You need to climb to the top of the mountain and pass the meeting hall before you can go down the mountain from the east.
Moreover, most of the houses in the village are built on the east side, and there are only a few thatched huts for storing miscellaneous items on the west side. It is really not a good place to live.
When the exile team reached the west, Guo Yi waved his hand and said, "Everyone, set up camp here, build a stove, and pitch the tent. We have slept in the wild along the way. There is water and piles of firewood here. It is a good place to stay."
"We should still patrol according to the rules of camping in the wilderness. The patrols should not be interrupted. Keep an eye on the water and food sources. I don't think the top of Cangshan Mountain is much safer than the foot of the mountain. That guy named Wei is not a good person. He rolled his eyes and didn't come up with any good ideas..."
Seeing Lin Yuan coming, Guo Yi shut up and stopped talking.
He and Lin Yuan only met halfway, and although they were brothers, they had only known each other for two months. Lin Yuan had been a bandit for so many years and had a close relationship with the man named Wei. Some of his words made it sound like he was trying to sow discord.
Lin Yuan frowned and turned around. Wei Zhong ordered people to bring them over, but he himself ran away without knowing where.
He didn't know the bandit who was leading the way. He might have been captured by Wei Zhongxin in the mountains. He was very cunning and no useful information could be obtained from him. Lin Yuan got annoyed and simply sent him away.
"Brother Guo, you guys stay here for one night. I'll move you to another place tomorrow. I'll definitely give you a place to shelter from the wind and rain. I apologize for the poor hospitality today."
Guo Yi reached out and hit Lin Yuan on the chest, cursing, "You've only been drinking a few days of ink and you've learned to quibble with me. I'm scared when you talk like that. It's not you who entertained me, so why should I be so inconsiderate?"
"If you dare to treat me like this, I can't beat you to death, so you should worry more about yourself. I'm just trying to intimidate you!"
Lin Yuan chuckled, "Brother Guo is very generous! I'm not stupid. I know that Uncle Wei has always been so stingy. When he sees something good, he would like to take it for himself. How could he be willing to give it to you?"
"Brothers in the village cannot live a hard life with him. Our village is not ruled by the head alone. Everything must go through the meeting hall. This was the rule when my adoptive father was in charge."
Ji Liao and his daughter looked at each other and said nothing.
They will not take the initiative to interfere in the affairs of the village, not only to avoid suspicion, but also because Lin Yuan must see the truth. He must grow up, otherwise how can he withstand the ups and downs in the future.
The Hung Hing Gang is Lin Yuan's home. Lin Yuan wants his family to live in harmony and friendship, just like when the Hung Hing Gang was still alive. Unfortunately, Wei Zhong is greedy and the elders have their own thoughts. Without the suppression of the Hung Hing Gang, chaos will eventually break out.
Soon, the exile team settled down.
Uncle Gao, Aunt Gao and the other people who had just followed Lin Yuan up the mountain were worried and decided to stay in the west for the time being and live with the exile team, which was safer.
Aunt Gao sighed, "I thought we would have a place to stay in Cangshan, but now it seems that the bandits in Cangshan don't welcome us at all. They don't even welcome Gang Leader Lin. They are really ungrateful!"
"Obviously, the things were brought back by us along the way, but they took them with a clear conscience. They looked at us as if we were enemies, with their teeth bared. We didn't come up the mountain to eat and drink for free, we are also laborers!"
Uncle Gao pulled Aunt Gao and whispered, "Keep your voice down. Don't let Gang Leader Lin hear you. Gang Leader Lin is trying to find a solution."
Aunt Gao waved the spatula to cook for everyone. The steam from the pot and the aroma of the food wafted out, which made Aunt Gao's eyes red.
"Why are you talking so much! I'm not blaming Boss Lin. Boss Lin is our great benefactor. I just feel sorry for Boss Lin. He narrowly escaped death and came back. What kind of thing is this!"
"It's fine if they didn't welcome us with fanfare, but they didn't even give us a proper room. We're fine, but we're outsiders anyway. Now that Gang Leader Lin is home, does he want to sleep on the grass with us?"
Aunt Gao wiped away her tears, threw in a handful of wild vegetables, and a big pot of fried wild vegetables and bacon was ready.
Lin Yuan came over after smelling the fragrance. He had good hearing and heard it clearly. He knew that Aunt Gao was worried about him. Aunt Gao's child had died of the epidemic. Along the way, Aunt Gao had taken care of him and Huan'er like their own children, taking care of everything for fear that they would not have enough food or clothing.
As soon as Aunt Gao served the bacon, Lin Yuan reached out and picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It burned his tongue, but he swallowed it whole and gave a thumbs up, praising: "Aunt Gao's cooking skills are really good. It smells so good!"
Aunt Gao smiled when she saw Lin Yuan, "You are the only one who is greedy. The meal will be served soon. It's all your favorites. Go and call them."
Lin Yuan responded and said casually: "You guys rest here for a while. After dinner, I will take Huan'er back to my old house. What belongs to me cannot be taken away by anyone!"
"You followed me all the way because you believed in me. Cangshan will also be your home in the future. I promised to let you settle down in Cangshan, and I will definitely do it."
Lin Yuan called everyone over and they gathered together to eat dinner. He went to say hello to Uncle Ji before leaving with Huan'er and his men.
There is a tall building not far from the martial arts arena. It was Hong Xing’s former residence. It overlooks the entire martial arts arena and can also look in the direction of the warehouse. Lin Yuan also lived there in the past, making it convenient for his adoptive father to find him at any time.
After entering the high-rise building, there were crowds of people everywhere, as noisy as a vegetable market. A gambling table was set up on the first floor, and a group of bandits were playing shirtless and having a great time. There were copper coins, silver coins, and even gold on the table.
Lin Yuan's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "What are you doing? Gambling is strictly prohibited in the village. You can only gamble with cheap items, or there will be punishment if you lose. Who told you to gamble with silver?"
When the bandits saw Lin Yuan, they were stunned at first. Lin Yuan was a skilled martial artist and had a great reputation in the mountain village, so the bandits were still a little scared of him.
Some people have already started to pack up the silver and dice on the table, preparing to run away quietly.
A big bearded man slammed the gambling table and shouted, "I want to gamble today. I'm the second in command in the village. I haven't had enough fun yet. Who dares to leave?"
"We are bandits, we just want to have fun. Hongxing has a lot of rules, which is annoying. Now my father is the boss, we can do whatever we want, there is no need for so many bullshit rules!"
"Lin Yuan, you were so proud in the past, but you relied on the fact that you were Hongxing's adopted son to bully others and oppress them. What can you rely on now? Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?"
