Pirate Song

Seeing these refugees constantly appearing on the road, Gao Huaiyuan's mood became worse and worse. Seeing that they were hungry, cold, and miserable, he wanted to help them, but considering his own abilities, he could only give up. There were so many How could the refugees be helped with the little money he had?

So he could only choose to turn a blind eye, urging several people to speed up along the way, and get to Daye as soon as possible. Once there, he would see if there was anything he could do!

They no longer traveled around the mountains and rivers along the way, but began to speed up according to Gao Huaiyuan's request. After traveling day and night for a few days, they entered the Poyang Lake area on Jiangnan West Road. As soon as they passed Poyang Lake, they used It won't be long before we reach our destination, the Gao family's old house in Daye County!

However, the number of refugees here is also increasing, and there are even people who have died of starvation lying on the roadside. Such a scene makes Gao Huaiyuan almost unable to believe that the so-called most prosperous era in Chinese history is actually not There will be situations where they die of hunger in the wild, which makes them even more uneasy.

"Master! I heard that there are a lot of bandits in this area, so we should be careful! After all, there are only a few of us. If we encounter a bandit, it doesn't matter if we are small. Master, we must not get into trouble, otherwise The little one can't bear it! Otherwise, let's make a fire early tonight (which means zhaojian. Later, because fire was misunderstood as zhajian, it became dajian in later generations, which means food and accommodation!). The little one who lives in front Town, we will leave early tomorrow morning and cross Poyang Lake in one day. I wonder what the young master wants?" Li Tong saw the hungry people on the roadside, all looking at their mule cart with eager eyes, as if they wanted to pounce on them and kill them. As if they were eating their mules and donkeys to satisfy their hunger, they stopped the mule cart uneasily and trotted all the way to discuss with Gao Huaiyuan, but this time his attitude was much more respectful.

Gao Huaiyuan also saw Li Tong's worry. After thinking about it, he felt that his proposal this time was for everyone's benefit. Moreover, if he missed the small town in front, it would be unsafe to travel at night, so he nodded in agreement. Come down.

Li Tong hurriedly drove the mule cart and entered the town with Gao Huaiyuan. He found a small inn in the town, stored the mule cart, and ran around to feed the mules and Huang Yan's donkey. , and helped Huang Yan and Zhou Hao put the things in the car into the house, and then returned to the front, carefully standing aside and serving Gao Huaiyuan.

After Gao Huaiyuan conquered Li Tong, he no longer acted like a young master every day. After seeing Li Tong's changes, his attitude toward him became much kinder. He invited Li Tong to sit down and have dinner with him. Li Tong even said he didn't dare. I asked for some food from the side and ate by myself.

Originally, Liu Er felt that she was also a servant and could not eat at the same table with Gao Huaiyuan. On the way, she proposed to have dinner with Li Tong, but Gao Huaiyuan refused and insisted on letting him eat at the same table with her. Liu Er did not dare to refuse. He agreed, so he had to sit down with Gao Huaiyuan and wait on him to eat.

A few people who were not very extravagant people casually ordered some food and started eating and drinking around the table. At this time, several people came in shouting from outside and ordered some food and drink in the small shop. Started eating and drinking.

One person got up and wandered into the backyard. After a while, he turned back and muttered something to a few other people. Then their eyes began to glance towards Gao Huaiyuan and others.

Along the way, Gao Huaiyuan, Huang Yan, and Zhou Hao grew to respect him more and more. Gao Huaiyuan always looked up to everything. The three of them formed a subtle relationship. Huang Yan and Zhou Hao both

Consciously becoming Gao Huaiyuan's follower, Zhou Hao's family was poorer, and he made up his mind to follow Gao Huaiyuan in the future. Therefore, Zhou Hao always regarded himself as the following person. No matter what Gao Huaiyuan said, it would not work. In the end

We can only let him go! Anyway, we just have one more brother!

While they were eating, they were discussing in low voices the route they would take tomorrow. Gao Huaiyuan suddenly felt that someone was paying attention to them, so he glanced at the men at the other table with the corner of his eye and saw that they were disheveled and carefree.

, there were two people carrying long cloth bags, and one could tell at a glance that they contained single knives. Looking at their eyes again, they immediately became alert.

He was a policeman in his previous life, and he had some experience in watching people. He glanced at it and immediately felt that these guys were not good guys, maybe they were just thieves who specialized in stealing or cutting off paths, so he thought in his heart.

Added a caution.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately stopped Huang Yan and Zhou Hao from continuing to discuss tomorrow's itinerary and asked them to concentrate on eating. He began to pay attention to the behavior of those guys.

He saw a man, tall and strong. Now that the weather had cooled down, he was still showing his chest, with a bunch of chest hair exposed. Moreover, he also had a beard, which made him look more fierce.

!

The other people spoke with looks on his face, toasted him from time to time, and called him big brother. While the guy was drinking and eating meat, he kept looking at these people, his eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice to the people around him from time to time.

What did the people say? Several people looked at him from time to time. Gao Huaiyuan felt bad. Maybe these guys were eyeing him.

Gao Huaiyuan did not provoke them, lowered his head and finished eating quickly, and immediately took Huang Yan and others back to the house in the backyard.

"It's still early, why don't we go for a walk in the town! Idleness is also idle, right?" Huang Yan is a lively person who can't sit still. As soon as he settles down, he wants to go out for a walk and see what's new.

So he proposed to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Don't worry, Li Tong, go outside and watch carefully what those men were doing! Don't let them notice!" Gao Huaiyuan said to Li Tong, who was lowering his head to pack his things.

Li Tong quickly agreed, his face changed a little. He didn't pay much attention to the men just now. When Gao Huaiyuan said this, he also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with those men. He immediately realized something, turned around and hurriedly walked towards the door.

Walk outside.

"Be calm, there's nothing to be afraid of. Maybe it's my misunderstanding. Just think of it as taking care of the mule. Don't be nervous!" Gao Huaiyuan saw Li Tong's nervous look, so he quickly stopped him and gave him instructions.

Li Tong was a little embarrassed. After all, he was the oldest among these people, but he wanted to be comforted by Gao Huaiyuan. He felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly nodded in agreement, took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and walked out of the room.

, went to do things according to Gao Huaiyuan's instructions.

"Didn't the boss say that those guys are interested in us? If that's the case, wouldn't we be in trouble?" After Huang Yan saw Li Tong leaving, he also realized that something seemed wrong, so he quickly said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"What are you afraid of? Don't forget that we all have skills now. How can we be afraid of a few thieves? But I think those people just now are not good people. They might be targeting us!" Gao Huaiyuan stared.

He glanced at Huang Yan and then said to them.

"Yes, yes! I'm afraid of them. I'm a man of skill now, how can I be afraid of them?" Huang Yan felt a little embarrassed by Gao Huaiyuan's words and said quickly.

Zhou Hao frowned, but did not answer their words, but continued to wait for Gao Huaiyuan's next words. Liu'er became a little scared and looked a little nervous.

"Don't be afraid Liu'er, I'm here! Nothing will happen! We are in the town, and they don't dare to act arrogantly here. If I heard correctly, what these guys just whispered was to discuss tomorrow

After we hit the road, they robbed our belongings, the mule cart, and Huang Yan's donkey on the road! It should be fine tonight!" Gao Huaiyuan quickly comforted Liu'er, and then continued to say to them.

"Then what should we do? The worst we can do is fight for them tomorrow! The boss has two good guys, how can he still be afraid of them?" Huang Yan said angrily.

Zhou Hao didn't speak, but nodded, expressing his agreement with Huang Yan's opinion.

"What you said is true. We are unfamiliar with the place here. We can't hide away even if we want to. I'm afraid it will be useless! Moreover, if we want to report to the government in this place, we may not be able to find anyone from the government. We will have to fight with them!

But there are more of them than us. Li Tong is timid and afraid that he won't be able to use it by then, so he has to rely on the three of us. The two knives given by the master cannot be exposed easily, otherwise, just these two knives will be enough.

It's enough to attract the covetousness of thieves! I think Zhou Hao shouldn't go out. He and Li Tong will go and keep an eye on those guys later. If we can eavesdrop on what they are saying, we can eavesdrop and come back so that we can be better prepared for tomorrow!

And we don’t have any guys on hand. Huang Yan, you are smart. Take some money and go out, wander around the town, buy two single knives and a pewter long gun and come back. Don’t let them find out. Keep what you want to do as confidential as possible.

Some! We use this thing for self-defense!”

"Don't worry, boss! I know what to do!" Huang Yan nodded, and both Zhou Hao and Huang Yan agreed. Even though they were young, they looked like newborn calves not afraid of tigers.

After arranging Huang Yan and the others, Gao Huaiyuan smiled at the uneasy Liu Er and said, "Don't be afraid, Liu Er. I'm afraid you don't know what I'm capable of. It's not a problem to deal with a few such little thieves. If something happens tomorrow,

You must not panic, sit in the car and don’t get out no matter what happens outside, otherwise it will distract me and actually harm me, have you remembered?"

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Liu'er nodded vigorously and summoned up the courage to say: "Liu'er has nothing to fear as long as he stays with the young master! Don't worry, young master, Liu'er will be obedient!" dd
