Looking at Wang Xuan kneeling on the ground, Pei Yun was a little confused.
You kneel down when we meet. You are not a bandit. Why are you calling me boss?
"Boss, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have shot you. My younger sister told me that you killed Pei Zhong and avenged my elder brother. You are the benefactor of my Wang family."
"If the boss doesn't mind, my life, Wang Xuan, will belong to the boss from now on."
Wang Xuan's face turned red when he said this. His real purpose was to go up the mountain to eat meat, but he said that it was to repay a favor.
Pei Yun did not expect that Wang Xuan's attitude changed so much. He wanted to use violence against him when they met for the first time, but he knelt down directly when they met for the second time. The contrast was quite big.
And this sounds a bit ambiguous. What do you mean by "you shot me"? You didn't hit me at all!
Wang Sui said at this time: "Boss, my second brother is the best hunter in the village. Every time he goes out hunting, he comes back with a full load."
Pei Yun is thinking about who to ask to sell masks in the county.
Those bandits in the mountains are all rough people. It's okay to let them rob houses, but if you let them do the mask business, they might be exposed.
This Wang Falcon is more suitable.
"You get up first."
Wang Xuan stood up, and Pei Yun asked, "Can you read?"
"I went to a private school for two years, so I know a little bit."
Pei Yun was quite satisfied. If the child could recognize words, there was no need to teach him.
"Is your father going up the mountain?" Pei Yun asked Wang Sui.
Wang Sui shook her head. “My father said he would protect my mother.”
"Okay, then you two follow me up the mountain. Wang Xuan, I have something for you to do. If you do it well, you can stay in the village, and you can also send rice, meat, and vegetables to your father every month."
Wang Xuan was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Master, just tell me what you want me to do. I will do it even if it means going through fire and water."
"It's not that serious. Let's go and talk while we walk."
Then the three of them went towards Qingyan Mountain.
…
"The boss is back! The boss is back!"
When the bandits in the mountain stronghold saw Pei Yun coming back, they were immediately excited and their worries were relieved. Pei Yun had been away from the mountain for four days, and they were all worried that their boss would not come back.
Then their good days would be over. Now that Pei Yun is back, they seem to have found a backbone.
"Have you been training well in the few days I've been away?"
Pei Yun spoke, saying that returning to the mountain stronghold made him feel very at home. Although these were all bandits and the lowest class of people in this society, they were his brothers, Pei Yun.
"Boss, we are training very hard and have not missed a single day."
"Boss, I can now write pinyin and recite the multiplication table."
"Boss, I can write my name now."
“…”
The bandits talked about their progress one after another, waiting for Pei Yun's praise.
To be honest, Pei Yun couldn't quite remember the names of these bandits, mainly because they all had shaved heads and looked pretty much the same, so he could only praise them as a group.
"Let me introduce you. This is Wang Xuan, the best hunter in Jiming Village. Zhugan, go and arrange a place for Wang Xuan to stay."
"Bald Qiang, take Wang Xuan to take a shower first, then come to my room with Ma Lian, Shou Hou, and Hu Zi."
The bald man nodded and left with the still confused Wang Xuan.
Pei Yun returned to the room and entered the mall with a thought. He sighed, and it was just as he thought, he could only enter the mall in this room and not anywhere else.
He came out of the mall and bought a large number of masks. He asked Wang Sui to call He Niang and others to help unpack them.
In this mountain village, he didn't have so many concerns. It didn't matter even if these bandits saw the packaging.
After the bald man took Wang Xuan to take a shower, he and the other three came to find Pei Yun.
"I have confirmed that soldiers will come to encircle and suppress us."
Pei Yun’s first sentence startled the four of them.
"Boss, what should we do now?" Ma Lian asked. If the soldiers came, they would definitely not be able to stop them.
There are only 36 people in the village who are truly capable of fighting, and the rest are either old, young, or women.
Although they can fight, they will die if they encounter officers and soldiers.
"Bald said before that we could gather people from other villages. I think this method is feasible. If we have more people, we won't be afraid even if the soldiers come."
"Please list all the mountain strongholds you know about, and we will recruit them one by one."
Pei Yun spoke.
The bald man asked, "Boss, is there enough food?"
Pei Yun smiled and said, "There's plenty, enough for the village to eat for ten years." There was shock in the eyes of several people.
The bald man told them that the boss had gone down the mountain to get food, but he didn't expect to get so much. That would be a lot of food to feed the entire village for ten years.
But they didn't see the boss bringing back any food, but the four of them were smart enough not to ask.
If the boss says it’s enough, then it’s definitely enough.
"There are probably more than fifty people in the Black Wind Village on Shuangtou Mountain."
"There are about sixty to seventy people in Erlongzhai, Erlong Mountain."
"The largest village within a hundred miles is the Tiger Village, which has nearly two to three hundred people. The village chief, Chang Wei, once killed a tiger. If we want to recruit them, it may be difficult."
Several people talked to each other and described the situation of the nearby mountain villages.
Pei Yun smiled and said, "Let's not worry about the Tiger Village for now. Let's start with the small villages. Shuangtou Mountain is the closest to us, so let's start with the Black Wind Village."
"Skinny Monkey, go to Black Wind Village and spread the word that there is food in Yiyun Village. As long as they come to surrender, they will have food to eat."
The skinny monkey nodded.
The bald man thought for a moment and said, "Boss, the leader of the Black Wind Village is very ambitious. I heard that he killed the boss to take over. If we want to annex his village, he will definitely not agree."
"Once they hear this news, they will definitely strictly control their subordinates and will most likely send people to check. Once they are sure that we have food, they will definitely bring people to rob us."
"Instead of waiting for the people from Black Wind Village to surrender one by one, I think we should take the initiative to attack them and beat them up. This will also test the results of our training these days."
Pei Yun smiled and said, "Did we have any grudge against Black Wind Village in the past?"
"Yes, many of our brothers were injured by the Black Wind Village."
"Okay, then let's have a good meal tomorrow and go to Black Wind Village."
While having dinner, Wang Xuan was shocked.
Especially when I saw the bowls of pork being served on the table, my eyes widened.
Although I have heard Wang Sui say it, hearing it is one thing and seeing it with your own eyes is another.
At the foot of the mountain, the common people ate grass roots, tree bark, Guanyin soil, and even corpses, and their lives were extremely miserable.
And here, he saw something.
Big steamed buns, braised pork, and a few dishes he couldn't name, and the broth was at his leisure.
In addition to steamed buns, there is also dry rice.
This shocked Wang Xuan immensely. Wang Sui had only given him a general idea, and he didn't expect these bandits to eat so well.
Wang Xuan swallowed his saliva and his eyes turned red. If he ate so well every day, he felt that he could give his life to Pei Yun.
He secretly swore in his heart that no matter what task Pei Yun gave him, he would complete it until his death.
