Chapter 719: Poor Cottage
"Ahead? Good, good! ”
Hearing this answer, Xiao Han nodded again and again, looked around, jumped off the horse, and took Sun Ergou to the side of the road, so as not to delay the army's journey.
Standing under a tree on the side of the road, Xiao Han wiped the sweat on his head and asked the little soldier in front of him, "Ergou, do you know if there are any strong people near your house?" ”
"Strongman?" When Sun Ergou heard this name, he secretly glanced up at Xiao Han, his eyes full of doubts.
"Stupid, a strong man is a bad man! Robbers, bandits, bandits! Xiao Han glanced at Sun Ergou and explained weakly. This stupid boy doesn't understand anything.
"Mountain... Bandits..."
Hearing this name, Sun Ergou in front of Xiao Han was obviously stunned! Then there was a shock all over my body, my whole body trembled, my lips trembled, and I didn't speak for a long time!
Sun Ergou's strange appearance naturally fell in Xiao Han's eyes.
He looked at the somewhat thin teenager and asked strangely, "What?" I said bandit, what are you afraid of? It's hard to ......"
Xiao Han originally wanted to ask: Did Sun Ergou have been bullied by thieves before!
But he never expected it! Before he finished this sentence, Sun Ergou's legs were weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud! Then he banged his head!
"The general spares his life! The general spares his life! I used to be a bandit, but I didn't do anything bad, and they were killed! I'm innocent! Under the surprised gaze of Xiao Han and the others, Sun Ergou kowtowed and cried at the same time!
"What, you're a bandit?"
finally heard the content of Sun Ergou's crying, not only Xiao Han is dumbfounded now, but even Xiaodong and the stunned are also dumbfounded!
How did this inadvertently solve a big case?
"You, you don't know?"
When Sun Ergou said this, he himself was stunned at this time! When I react, I can't wait to slap myself twice!
That's right! People are just asking themselves, but why are they so weak in their hearts, so uncontrollable!
"Ahem, I don't know!"
What made Sun Ergou even more tearful was that Xiao Han and the stunned few people in front of him shook their heads together, and that serious look almost made him vomit three liters of blood on the spot!
"I ......" Sun Ergou's annoyed intestines are almost green, and now he is called a dumb person to eat coptis, and he can't say if he is bitter!
"You've been a bandit? Did that hurt anyone? ”
After a while, Xiao Han reacted and asked in disbelief.
He didn't care about Sun Ergou's previous "occupation", even if this "occupation" was a bit special!
But if you hurt someone, the nature is completely different!
Xiao Han is not a pedantic person, but he insists that if a person does something wrong, he must bear the punishment for doing something wrong! No one has the right to forgive a person's mistakes! All easy forgiveness is just another hurt to the victim!
Poor Sun Ergou was already dead-hearted, but when he heard Xiao Han suddenly ask him like this, he immediately rose a little hope from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly got up and kowtowed and said:
"General, it's true! I really didn't have anything to eat at the beginning, so I went with others to be a bandit! But I was young and had little strength! The big boss dislikes me, so he only lets me do some rough work in the village, and my stomach is full! Not to mention killing, I haven't even seen an outsider! ”
"Then why didn't you become a bandit and come to be a soldier again?" Xiao Han looked at Sun Ergou and asked with a frown! At the same time, I thought: This Datang enlisted in the army too casually, right, so there is no need to screen? Don't you check the ingredients? Don't you check the eighteen generations of your ancestors?
However, Xiao Han seems to have forgotten that if Datang was strict in enlisting in the army, he, a guy who couldn't turn it up for a generation, would probably have been dragged out and cut for five minutes!
It is estimated that he realized that Xiao Han did not want to investigate him immediately, Sun Ergou finally became a little more bold in his heart, secretly swallowed a mouthful of spit, and quickly explained: "When I became a thief, I was only forced to do it!" I don't want to do that job at all! But they didn't dare to go, until one time later, the people in the stockade went out to do business......"
Saying the words "doing business", Sun Ergou subconsciously glanced up at Xiao Han.
Their so-called business is naturally just a business without capital! If someone else heard this, they would probably be angry!
But Xiao Han was once infected by a big boss called "Supreme Treasure", and his curiosity was obviously greater than his disgust for the thief, and when he heard Sun Ergou say this, he was not angry at all, but urged him to continue.
After swallowing another mouthful of spit, Sun Ergou continued: "At that time, the owner of the village left with all the people who could fight, but he didn't come back until the evening! A few of us who stayed behind knew that it was not good, and they were so scared that they ran away that night! It took several days before I dared to go back to see, but I didn't expect that the people in the village still hadn't gone back at that time, and we knew that those people couldn't come back!
And without the owner of the village, this village will not be able to hold on at all! As soon as a few of us went back discussed, we packed up and divided our things! I divided a set of broken armor and some food, and after returning home, not long after, I happened to meet the conscription, so I followed into the barracks. ”
Sun Ergou said these words very sincerely, Xiaodong saw that Xiao Han still had doubts, so he leaned into his ear and said: "Master Hou, I see that what this kid said is true!" With this guts, I don't think I dare to kill a pig! Not to mention killing! Besides, we are short of people in the army now, let alone armor, even if we have a knife, we can come in! This is not surprising! ”
Xiao Han, who was still a little suspicious, also believed most of it after listening to Xiaodong's words!
Harming people, it's not as simple as thinking about it, it takes a lot of heart to support, and the little guy in front of him who doesn't admit himself in two sentences obviously doesn't have that kind of heart.
Thinking of this, Xiao Han said to Sun Ergou: "Get up, the matter of the bandit will not be investigated for the time being!" If a sufferer comes to the door in the future, it's not too late to settle the score! ”
"Thank you, General, thank you, General!" Sun Ergou was overjoyed when he heard this, and stood up with a thousand thanks, and his legs were still struggling.
Seeing Sun Ergou's trembling appearance, Xiao Han couldn't help but feel a little funny.
This thief is too sloppy, he can't even catch one percent of Cheng's gold, it's too embarrassing for the bandit!
wanted to tease him a few more words, but Xiao Han suddenly remembered the matter of military rations again, coughed and asked Sun Ergou: "By the way, you just said, you just divided the luggage, and you divided a set of armor and some food?" ”
Sun Ergou had a hard time escaping, and now he is grateful to Xiao Han, and when he heard this, he immediately nodded like a chicken eating rice: "Yes, yes!" ”
Xiao Han thought about it and asked with some confusion: "Is it they who bully you?" ”
"No, they don't have much!" Sun Ergou replied honestly.
"And how many people are in your cottage?" Xiao Han asked again.
"More than twenty!" Sun Ergou replied.
"More than 20 people are still so poor?! Are you thieves or beggars! ”
Looking at Sun Ergou in surprise, Xiao Han suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, how could this not be the same as he imagined?
