Chapter 13 Bandit's Den
The lonely moon was in the sky, and the night was vast. The evening breeze blew across the rustling branches of the trees, rubbing the dirty stubble of the peddlers. After colliding with the peddlers who were rushing to the road, they cooperated with the twitching grass and trees to leave scars on Wang Ningzhi's face. He had not struggled and knew in his heart that his thin body might not even be able to stop these bandits' fists, so he could only let these people clamp themselves with their hard arms, which hurts.
While moving, his eyes were blindfolded and he could only use the wind direction to judge the approximate direction... If the estimate difference is not large, it should be in the remote suburbs of Kuaiji County.
The bandits' speed gradually slowed down. After running for so long, they were already out of breath. However, the trivial conversation still showed that they had arrived at the destination, so they put Wang Ningzhi down, but the blindfold had not been taken off. The person next to them said, "We are here. Thank you for your cooperation along the way. There is no order on the next task yet, so we will not make things difficult for the young master. If it is too late today, let me stay here for now. I will ask you to clean up the residence for the young master..."
Wang Ningzhi had to follow the direction they guided. When he encountered a bumpy place, he would be reminded. Finally, he stopped and his eye mask was removed. The one who caught his eyes was a thin black boy. He seemed to have been woken up from his sleep. His eyes were confused. He looked at each other with Wang Ningzhi, and suddenly became excited. He called "Fat Sheep" and was covered by his mouth... He turned around and looked at it. The strange place was a small village, and his senses were very dirty and messy, which was quite in line with the identity of a refugee. The thin black boy was taken into the hut in front of him. After a while, he walked out again and said in a depressed mood: "Okay."
Most of the bandits who had just kidnapped him dispersed, leaving only the beard that was most impressed, and made a gesture of inviting him, and then locked himself in the hut.
Finally, there was only one of Wang Ning. Looking at the boy's old bed, which was still messy, he shook his head, went to clean up himself, flipped the tide sheets, and searched out a dirty bedding from the side through the window, which was not bright moonlight. It was obviously hidden by the thin black boy just now, and there was a strange smell.
However, in this case, he didn't care about being pretentious. After he had to clean up, he lay down with his clothes and put his bedding on his stomach.
It is difficult to save yourself now. I just scanned it casually just now. There were not many people here, but I didn’t have much effort to deal with myself. Moreover, this thatched hut is in the central area of the village, with other people living in all directions. At this time, there must be someone who watches the night... If you want to go out, you can only expect the Wang family to react.
The hut is very small, but there are a lot of things piled up randomly, from baskets to spoons of copper mirrors, most of them are abandoned old things, some with marks. It is obviously used for a long time. I don’t know how many owners I have experienced before I was collected here by the black and thin boy, hiding in this small thatched hut, waiting for the next fate... The black and thin boy looked quite smart, and these things should be sold by him, and perhaps even a slap in the buyer.
"No need to look at it. It's all worthless items. If you lower the price, it may not be possible for someone to buy it. As you are, you will not look down on it." When Wang Ningzhi was not looking around, a sound came from the door. Then he saw a black and thin boy carefully opening the door and rushing in. He sat on the ground at the wall with his bright eyes staring at Wang Ningzhi, but unlike the gaze he looked at Feiyang at the beginning, but with a hint of curiosity with a hint of longing.
Not surprised that the black and thin boy sneaked in. He thought it was also an uneasy person. Wang Ningzhi just leaned against the hard bed and asked, "Do you know my identity?"
"I don't know, but being able to wear such good silk clothes is also a wealthy family, but I can also look at people at least. You have extraordinary behavior and should be very knowledgeable... Besides, the one who can trouble Uncle Hu to do it himself is not a simple person." The boy inadvertently revealed the title of beard.
"So what do you want to do now?"
"It's nothing, I'm just here to see you." The young man replied seriously, as if he was afraid that he would not believe it. He spread his hands and signaled that he didn't take anything. "After going south, I rarely saw people from the gentry. A few days ago, I only saw Xu Shuai from afar behind, but it was no different from us. It was just that he could afford armor and could not compare with the real gentry."
"The gentry is nothing great. Have you seen enough? Just go out after seeing enough? I'm tired of it so late and want to sleep." Wang Ningzhi waved his hand, not afraid of the boy. He moved his body to make himself more comfortable, but the quilt smelled a little choked, which forced him to face upwards and his style was very restrained.
"You're uncomfortable sleeping like this, right?" the boy stood up. "I smelled the wine. I guess you had to fall asleep in this environment. It must be difficult... Do you need me to sleep with you?"
The body is stiff!
Wang Ningzhi turned his head mechanically to look at the thin black boy. His eyes, which were still bright in the dark night, now made him creepy... sleep with him? Although there were indeed many people who like Longyang at this time, this boy was too bold... he even recommended himself to sit on the pillow. This situation, and the boy was slowly approaching him, which made him feel disgusted. This was something he had not expected. Before he was kidnapped, he had thought of many possibilities. He was a child of the Wang family. Even if Xu Lian disliked him, he would not persecute his body. However, he did not expect that Xu Lian had not arrived yet, and he was going to be trapped in the hands of a boy. This was so similar to his previous life, he was trapped in the hands of a small person who could not have thought of it.
"You..." His throat was a little sore.
"I'm teasing you, I'm scared you." The boy who walked to the bed stopped and laughed loudly, then looked around and pulled a quilt out of the basket beside him, "Cover this, it doesn't taste like it. You sleep well. I guess you have a lot of trouble tomorrow...I'll leave."
The rustling sound gradually became less and with the sound of the door, everything returned to tranquility. Only the bright moonlight fell in the room, and the awakened little crawler crawled gently. After a long time, Wang Ningzhi's tense nerves relaxed.
...
After the Waking of Insects, everything revived. The air in the morning was still a little wet, but the temperature had warmed up, so that people would not endure the pain of wetness and cold. However, the refugees' nests were not as orderly as the gentry's mansions. On the contrary, they woke up early and late according to their tasks. People who got up early would not be afraid of talking loudly, as if they were afraid that others would not hear it.
Wang Ningzhi woke up in the noise, wrapped in a clean quilt, and really didn't want to get up, so he was still lying on the bed, listening quietly to the bandits' past conversations and children's play, thinking that if they were not refugees, they should be considered a village, at least stronger than tenant farmers, and they are independent. But then he thought, this era is in chaos, what's the use of being independent? The dealer may be trampled by horse hooves in a few days, and it is better than tenant farmers.
Bang bang bang bang!
The door of the room was knocked heavily three times, and a rough voice came in: "Young master, have you got up, I'll bring you breakfast."
Wang Ningzhi got up from the bed and was wearing clothes. Although he had some wrinkles, he was not the time to pay attention to it. He quickly put on his shoes and replied: "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed wide open. The black-skinned boy called Uncle Hu walked in with a bowl of porridge, followed by the black-skinned boy. Behind him were the black-skinned boy, most of whom were young people, squeezing at the door, staring at Wang Ningzhi with the pedestrians walking behind, pointing and pointing at the ground while looking.
"There is not much food, I only cooked a bowl of porridge. I hope the young master will not dislike it and eat a little bit to avoid being hungry. There is no news on it. Maybe the young master will stay here for a while." He smiled like a beard and showed his yellow teeth. Then he explained to the black and thin boy, turned around and walked out, shouting at the onlookers, "Whatever you see, do your work. Don't say that I will deduct your food rations at that time..."
The door closed again, and there was only himself and the thin black boy in the hut.
If the color is bright today, Wang Ningzhi, who looked at the thin black boy again, didn't feel anything. The special feeling last night should have been integrated into the scene, which was the same as the fear of waking up when having a nightmare but not feeling. I think this is just a thin boy, and his strength is probably not as great as himself. He was able to scare himself last night... As a descendant, his psychological quality is absolutely strong enough. He thinks that the problem of being scared last night is definitely not his own.
Just as he was puzzled, the thin black boy said, "How is it? Did you sleep well last night? Hurry up and have dinner. I have said that there will definitely be a group of people coming to bother you today. You'd better accumulate energy." As he said, he took out a white egg from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Ningzhi.
"Is this?" Wang Ningzhi was a little confused. The black and thin boy was a little cooked, but he still took the white egg. It seemed that it was a cooked goose egg.
The thin black boy was a little proud: "This is not something I stole, it was the egg laid by the goose I raised, so it would be useless even if you complain to Uncle Hu... I just considered that your aristocrats would definitely not be able to stand our food. I probably wouldn't even drink this porridge, and I just wanted to exchange it with you with goose eggs."
"What do you want to exchange for? Do you want to drink this bowl of porridge? If you want to drink it, just drink it." Wang Ningzhi pushed the porridge over and signaled him to drink it while it was hot, but the boy shook his head.
