Chapter 509 Questions
Chu Xiaomu didn't take it seriously and continued, "I saw him move a small stool and hold a bowl of rice porridge mixed with diced melon. When he was about to eat, he ran to the side and brought back an empty bowl, and then poured half of the rice porridge into the empty bowl."
"The bowl that Xiaotuan'er had was not big to begin with, and even though he was young, he could definitely finish it. Besides, it was a bowl of thin porridge, not enough to fill him up. I was curious, so I asked him why he had to divide the porridge into two bowls."
"Xiao Tuan'er... Xiao Tuan'er said that the monsters from the Sand Country are coming, and many uncles are going to fight them. My uncle is also going. But they don't have enough food to eat, and they don't have the strength to fight the monsters from the Sand Country... Dad told us to save food and leave the extra food for the uncles who are fighting..."
Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but tear up when he said this. This little girl was indeed someone they met in a small village outside Huachanyi, but it was Jinglan who asked the question.
Chu Xiaomu was also very touched. When he was alone with Jinglan and Xiaoying, he would think about this matter quietly, so he could speak it out fluently in one breath. Otherwise, with his clumsy mouth and tongue, he would probably get stuck after a few words.
He Cang listened quietly, with a grim expression on his face, and said nothing.
The other bandits were not as affected as he was and began to become agitated again.
Chu Xiaomu continued, "The Red Soldiers have already captured Bicheng, and are now stationed outside Jieyun Pass, ready to attack your Jinyang City at any time. Although I am a Qingyuan native, I also know that we Cangmu people should unite against the enemy and protect our country. Even at such a young age, Xiaotuan'er knows that it is better to eat less and save some food for the soldiers who are resisting the Red Soldiers. He Bazi, you are so capable, why are you not as knowledgeable as a five or six-year-old child?"
The bandits were all furious when they saw that such a young boy dared to teach the leader of Xiao Tushan a lesson. However, the leader He kept his head down and didn't say a word, so they naturally didn't dare to scold him.
Chu Xiaomu didn't expect that a few words could change the nature of these lawless bandits, but after a long conversation, he felt much better. He looked at He Cang quietly, waiting for him to speak.
He Cang asked, "Young man, your surname is Lin?"
"Yes, my last name is Lin Yuan, and I live on the east side of Jinyang City..."
Before he could finish his words, He Cang interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "I already know, there is no need to say more, little brother. I just want to ask you one question, is that person you?" The bandits looked at each other, not knowing who "that person" he was talking about.
Chu Xiaomu smiled and said, "What do you think, Mr. He?" As he spoke, he sent a hidden force to the bone-cutting knife stuck in the ground beside He Cang, and the blade suddenly trembled continuously, making a slight buzzing sound. This was obviously due to the extremely strong force agitation.
He Cang was holding the knife handle at this time, and suddenly felt the blade vibrate rapidly, and immediately understood. The young man in front of him, who looked unremarkable, was indeed the one who helped him in the dark. This boy was indeed an extremely rare master, but he could not tell to what extent.
A few sharp-eyed bandits saw the big knife in He Cang's hand trembling for a long time, and thought he was furious, so they shouted: "Boss, just kill him, why waste time here?!" Immediately, many bandits started to clamor loudly.
Liu Zang objected loudly: "No, no, we can't break the rules of Xiao Tushan. Everyone new to the mountain must be given two options. One is to go up the mountain and join a gang..." Although he shouted loudly, he was soon drowned out by the noisy voices.
Chu Xiaomu naturally heard it and couldn't help laughing secretly. He thought that this bald guy surnamed Liu didn't really want to save my life, but the bet I made with him hadn't come to an end yet, so he was naturally anxious.
He Cang stood up and pointed at Liu Zang, saying, "Guangtou Liu, come here."
Liu Zang was immediately frightened and turned pale. He thought that he was the one who pushed this bad boy forward. Leader He would definitely not let him off. He asked him to go over like this, but his left hand was still on the handle of the knife. He must be planning to chop me in half.
However, he was forced to go forward due to the authority of the gang leader, so he had to bite the bullet and walk forward. But in his heart he thought, let's just die, it's boring to be a bandit anyway.
He Cang said, "Although our brothers in Xiao Tushan are engaged in robbery, they are not born to do this business, but are forced to do it because they have no choice. You are right, we cannot break the rules of Xiao Tushan, and people cannot be killed indiscriminately. Everyone who is captured and brought to the mountain should be given two choices..."
Liu Zhang escaped death and nodded hurriedly.
He Cang went on to say: "Guangtou Liu, you will be the one to interrogate him today. There are two roads on the mountain. Let's see which one he chooses." He thought to himself that you, Guangtou Liu, could actually tie up such a powerful man and bring him up the mountain. You must have some special skills, or you may have something on this man. Therefore, it is most appropriate for you to interrogate him.
I also thought that this young man would definitely not choose to join the gang and become a bandit, but would choose to be sold as a slave. Then I would find a way to release him, and everything could be done without anyone knowing. The brothers would not know that I had the help of others to defeat that You Ganzhan, and they would not offend this strange young man.
Liu Zang received the order and repeated the rules of Xiao Tushan loudly again, and finally asked Chu Xiaomu: "Boy surnamed Lin, do you choose the first or the second rule?"
Chu Xiaomu smiled at him and said, "I don't choose the first or the second. I choose the third."
Liu Zang shouted loudly: "That won't do. Once you enter our Xiao Tushan, there is no third way!" The bandits started shouting and cursing again.
Chu Xiaomu said: "Why don't you ask He Bazitou if there is a third option."
Liu Zang said: "Even if you ask the leader, he won't tell you. Once you enter Xiao Tushan, you will either become a bandit with us or go to Jiaoshan to become a slave. There is no third party..."
He Cang waved his hand and said, "If the little brother wants to choose the third option, let him choose the third option. What are you talking about, Liu Guangtou?!"
After hearing this, the bandits including Liu Zang were confused again. Liu Zang lost the bet again and was heartbroken about his treasures; the others could not remember when Xiao Tushan had a rule of a third option.
He Cang said hurriedly: "Everyone, don't forget that today is our Xiao Tushan's... Xiao Tushan's 'No Killing Day'. Everything can be dealt with leniently, and the same applies to the ugly captives who were captured on the mountain..."
