When Ah Xingren saw Hawkeye swooping down, he was dumbfounded.
He was even more dumbfounded when he saw the soldiers put down their weapons.
What's going on? Are these soldiers out of their minds?
"Ah Xing, Ah Xing, come help me quickly!"
Eagle Eye looked at the weapons scattered all over the ground and felt that he couldn't carry them all by himself. He waved and shouted towards the hilltop, hoping that others would come and help.
"Oh, and geniuses too."
Li Chang'an looked towards the direction of the hilltop, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that besides this old man, there were other people preparing to rob them.
Indeed, the old saying is true: where there is a sleeping dragon, there will be a phoenix chick.
A group of ragged mountain bandits timidly walked down from the top of the mountain.
Hawkeye isn't very bright and can't understand the current situation, but they can still understand some things.
At least they understood that these people in front of them were definitely not someone they could handle.
"Come on, there's a lot of stuff here. Everyone take one, don't be shy."
Hawkeye was thrilled; he felt that today was the pinnacle of his life.
In the past, people in the mountain village all complained that they had something wrong with their brains, saying that they were only good for eating and had no other use.
Today I robbed such a big, fat sheep. The people in the village will definitely look at me with new respect.
Who knows, the chieftain might even give him two wives. Then, hehehehe...
Thinking of this, Hawkeye grinned foolishly.
Meanwhile, the other bandits of Pig Cage Mountain also moved their feet, picked up their weapons from the ground, and gripped them tightly in their hands. Only in this way could they feel safe.
They understood very well that in this world, there was no place for the poor to speak up, and no one would speak up for them.
Only when you have a weapon in your hand can you have the right to speak and talk to others about human relationships and principles.
A little girl had six or seven knives hanging from her body, making her look like a weapon rack, and she could barely move.
But she still tried very hard to pick up the spear from the ground.
Seeing that she was having trouble holding it, Chen Da reached out and picked up the spear, placing it in her hand.
"Thanks."
The little girl was very polite; after thanking them, she continued picking up the things.
The other soldiers laughed when they saw the girl like that.
The little girl only realized what was happening when she heard their laughter. Her face turned somewhat embarrassed, and she grimaced as she looked at the soldiers.
"Don't laugh."
"Hahaha……"
Seeing her appearance, the soldiers laughed even louder, and Bai Luoti even picked up a long knife from the ground and handed it to the little girl.
"for you."
The other soldiers followed his example and handed their long swords to the girl.
Seeing so many knives, the little girl was overwhelmed. She hurriedly took the knives while saying, "Too many, too many."
"Smack!"
Chen Da kicked Bai Luo: "All you do is bully kids. Do you have some kind of fetish? Why are you always picking on children?"
"That Japanese child was so young, how could you do that? And now you're teasing other children."
"The prince said that anyone under the age of sixteen is guilty of adultery. If caught, being torn to pieces is the least of their worries; being skinned alive is the most painful punishment."
Bai Luoti blushed, wanting to refute but not daring to. Chen Da's reputation was so great that it could stop children from crying in Fujian or Jiangnan.
After reprimanding his men, Chen Da looked at the little girl's emaciated body and comforted her, "Don't take these knives anymore. See those carriages behind? There's food there. Go and get some to eat."
The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard the word "food".
When she reached the wagon transporting grain, she used her knife to lift the tarpaulin covering it and saw that the wagon was full of beans.
These items were taken out by Li Chang'an to feed the horses; otherwise, he would have to take things out of his backpack every time he fed the horses.
So he brought several horse-drawn carts and took out several days' worth of food at a time, so as not to have to bother feeding the horses every time.
To him, these were just beans to feed horses, but to these little girls, they were lifelines.
"Food, food, come quick! There's food here, lots of food!"
The little girl danced and waved happily at the other bandits.
The bandits stared at the beans in her hand with greedy eyes.
They rushed to the grain cart, tore open the tarpaulin with their weapons, and stared intently at the grain inside, their eyes slowly turning red.
Once you've experienced the feeling of being starving to death, no one would want to experience it a second time.
Some of the bandits couldn't wait any longer; they grabbed a handful of beans and started chewing them.
The dried soybeans were a bit hard, making a crunching sound when bitten, but no matter what, they tasted better than grass roots and tree bark.
At least, this stuff can stave off hunger and doesn't have a grassy smell.
Looking at the bandits gathered on the grain carts, Li Chang'an sighed: "They're all a bunch of unfortunate people."
Looking at him like this, Zhang Xianzong couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This guy was all about killing and not burying those martial arts practitioners; he had the look of a fierce and angry Vajra.
However, he was compassionate towards these poor people, especially the elderly and children, whom he would often instruct his soldiers to take special care of.
Thinking of this, he said, "The rise and fall of the nation is the common people's suffering. Throughout history, how many dynasties have seen people not starve to death?"
"If any emperor can keep the people from starving to death in the streets during his reign, then he can be compared with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
