Chapter 600 The Little Dumb and the Little Stutter
Fenglin Town is just a small town, it is located in the Great Zhou Dynasty and borders Shuozhou in the Northern Han Dynasty and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it can also be said to be the three-regardless zone. Of course, Maple Grove has nothing to do with Maple Grove, and there is not a single maple tree here, let alone any maple grove. As for why it's called Maple Grove Town, I believe that the oldest people who live here may not be able to say it, so Maple Grove Town has nothing to do with Maple Tree.
Because it is located in the three-regardless zone, this Fenglin Town is a special existence, and the poor mountain next to Fenglin Town is infested with bandits, and some Khitan people from Nashuo Prefecture rush out from time to time to come here to fight grass valley. Being in such a harsh environment has led to the incomparably fierce folk customs of this Fenglin Town, whether it is the bandits who haunt the mountains, or the Khitan people passing by from Nashuozhou, the residents of Fenglin Town are not afraid. Almost every household is equipped with weapons, and once they encounter bandits or Khitan soldiers who come to fight the grass valley, they will raise their weapons to resist.
Of course, whether it is a bandit rushing from the mountains or a Khitan soldier coming from Shuozhou, the residents of Fenglin Town can have a slight advantage. Sometimes people die, but more often than not, more people are injured. However, this still did not make the inhabitants of Maple Grove any way back, so this Maple Grove Town was much more peaceful than the other towns in the vicinity, and this Maple Grove Town was also a little richer than the others.
The little mute was a resident of this town, and he had always been proud of the inhabitants of Maple Grove, and he had always looked down on the people of several other nearby towns. He felt that whether it was a bandit or a Khitan soldier, as long as they took up arms to resist, then they could have such a day of victory. The little mute's philosophy of life is so simple, and he has always thought so, as if you must use chopsticks to eat, in fact, you can eat without chopsticks.
Fenglin Town should be directly under the jurisdiction of the Northern Han Dynasty, but due to its special geographical location and the alliance between the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan Dynasty, the Daizhou government did not control it in any form, but just left it to fend for itself. To the west of Fenglin Town is the capital of Daizhou, to the east is Yizhou of the Great Zhou, and to the north is Shuozhou, one of the sixteen states of Yanyun. For the strong folk customs of Fenglin Town, whether it is the bandits in the mountains on the edge of Fenglin Town, or the Khitan that is surging from the north, they have not obtained any benefits, so Fenglin Town has been quite peaceful in the past few years.
Whether it is the little mute who has such self-confidence, or the other residents of Maple Grove Town who have such self-confidence, of course, their self-confidence comes from one person, an ordinary man called Old Knife. The old knife is an ordinary middle-aged man with a pair of thick hands covered with calluses. There is another obvious feature of the old knife, that is, the thumb of his right hand is missing, it is a powerful big hand, but the thumb is missing, which can't help but make people sigh.
In recent years, the peace of Fenglin Town is also due to this middle-aged man named Lao Dao, who doesn't know where he came from, but has extraordinary skills. No one has ever seen the old knife make a move, even if all the most powerful prime people in the town are combined, and they are not as strong as the old knife, he can make people feel scared with just one look. This is the old knife, the most low-key and most taciturn man in the town.
Everything about Lao Dao, there are rumors in the town that Lao Dao is a master of the rivers and lakes, because he is tired of the life of fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes, so he will live in seclusion in this remote Fenglin Town. Some people also say that Lao Dao was a subordinate of Guo Dashuai of the Guiyi Army in Nashuo Prefecture, who came to Fenglin Town to help deal with the Khitans. As for these rumors, someone once asked Lao Dao, and Lao Dao showed a thick smile, and then stopped talking.
The little mute is one of the young people who like to go to the old knife the most, and the little mute is a mute. Of course, it's not that he can't hear, but that he had a serious illness when he was a child, which caused him to be unable to speak, and the little mute's ears can be fine, whether it is the gossip in the town, or who is outside the town, he can hear it clearly. In fact, the little mute often wanders around the town, and the little mute is very curious about the outside world.
The little mute still prefers to come to the old knife, and asks the old knife to teach him knife skills, as for why he likes to learn knives, he should gradually like the cold knife intent that he exudes from the old knife. For a young man like a mute, Lao Dao did not have any impatience, but taught him carefully.
Although the little mute longs for the outside world, he knows that he can't speak, so he will stay in this Maple Grove Town with all his heart. As for why the little mute is so anxious to ask the old knife to teach him knife skills, in addition to the fact that he likes to use knives, there is another reason. Like other young people, the little mute has only recently begun to learn the knife, and at the age of seventeen or eighteen, it may be a little late to learn the knife now, but the little mute is happy to do it.
On this day, after the little mute left the thatched hut of the old knife, he came to the entrance of the town, and he had to wait for someone. But he waited from noon to afternoon, and that person had not yet appeared, which made him a little disappointed, and the excited eyes suddenly leaked, and he could only helplessly raise the knife in his hand, repeating the moves taught by the old knife just now.
The little stutterer had been staying in the col, and in addition to his strong body, he also had a strong brute force. The little stammerer wouldn't have stammered, and he clearly remembered that it was the first time he robbed. That was the first time he was taken out of the col by the commanders and on the official road. As for why the commander took him to the official road, he didn't know, he only knew that it seemed like a big fat sheep came from the official road.
The momentum of robbery is heavy, such as a swarm of people rushing down from the mountain, coming to the person who is about to be robbed, and then throwing off that voice and shouting: "Robbery". When they rushed to the front of the person who was going to be robbed, the commander didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine or had a convulsion in his head, and the most imposing words of shouting that voice actually had to be stammered to roar.
At that time, Xiao Stammering was only fourteen years old, and at that time he participated in the robbery for the first time, and at that time, Little Stammering didn't know that the robbery was to see blood. The first robbery, I have to show myself, and the excitement of the little stutter can be said to be a feeling of jumping into the sky. He jumped to the front of the team excitedly, in fact, there were not many people in the robbery team, only a dozen, and everyone was holding a regular weapon.
The little stammerer was about to throw his throat out of his throat and shout, but he still forgot something, he couldn't remember whether it was spring or summer, or maybe autumn or winter. It's just that he felt as if he was so hot at that time, and why was it hot, because he was just about to roar when suddenly a gust of wind blew.
They robbed a fairly gorgeous carriage, if you want to say how gorgeous, in fact, it doesn't count, I heard the brothers in the mountains say that they robbed a very gorgeous carriage. The carriage seemed to be made of gold, and the carriage was surrounded by jewels and jadeites and other ornaments, and although the carriage escaped in the end, everyone in the mountains knew that there really was such a gorgeous carriage in this world.
When the commander led them down the hill and surrounded the carriage, the little stammerer knew that the carriage was also very ornate, although it was not made of gold, and there were no ornaments such as gems and jadeites on it. But he still felt a noble aura emanating from the carriage, which was his first feeling, and of course he felt that the two pure white and uncolored horses in front of the carriage were also extraordinary.
Alas, the little stammerer sighed in his heart, thinking of his roar, but he thought of the magnificent carriage. This still felt a little off-topic, so he still recalled the time he yelled that day. When he was about to roar, there seemed to be a blow, not just a kind of wind, and there was a groom in the carriage, but there was only one groom, and of course the lord was hidden in the carriage.
Seeing that the little stammerer and others surrounded him, the groom did not show any fear, but looked at them with a strange expression. The groom's gaze was very strange, there was disdain, there was pity, but there was no fear, and the little stutterer didn't notice so much at the time, he just wanted to shake off his throat and roar out like this.
However, after the gust of wind blew, the little stammerer froze, and a corner of the curtain was blown out. Then he saw the most unforgettable scene of his life, and saw a naked woman sitting in the carriage, which could be described as a fairy. What kind of sinking fish and geese, what kind of shy flowers in the closed moon, he didn't think he could describe that woman.
The woman's eyes were tightly closed, her skin as white as snow, and her pair of charming, proud twin peaks. He had never seen such a beautiful woman, and it was a beautiful woman with a bare topless body. Fairy, his mind suddenly went blank, and he knew that it was only because of that gust of wind that he had seen the most memorable scene for him. He knew that no one else had seen it but him.
So he forgot to roar, he forgot that he had come to rob, he forgot everything, and he stared at the carriage with blank eyes. Although after the gust of wind, the curtain of the car quickly fell, hiding the stunning woman with her eyes closed again. But the little stutter seemed to have lost his soul, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.
"Damn, I told you to roar, why are you stunned." After being kicked hard in the back by the commander, the little stammering came to his senses, but his mind was occupied by the stunning woman with her upper body exposed. "Hit ••••• •••••• hit ••••••• robbery," he said in a trembling voice.
A heavy slap of "snap" landed on the little stammer's face, making his face a hot pain. "Damn, are you yelling, you don't even know this, how will you mix it up in the future." The Commander raised his hand and stammered a little slap, and then he yelled fiercely.
Although there was a burning pain on the little stammer's face, there was no trace of pain in his heart, and there was nothing else in his mind except for the stunning woman with a naked upper body. Then he saw the Commander swing his sword and walk towards the carriage, he tried to stop the Commander, but for some reason he didn't say a word. It wasn't that he didn't want to stop the Commander, but he couldn't, because from the carriage there was an aura that made him feel extremely palpitating, as if there was a monstrous beast hidden in the carriage.
He watched as the Commander's knife stretched out towards the curtain of the carriage, and when the Commander's knife gently lifted the curtain, the little stammerer felt a cold breath permeate the cart, making him shiver. As soon as the chill on his body came together, he saw a flash of red blood splattering towards him, the blood was still hot, splashing on his eyes, and then he saw the Commander's head suddenly fly up with a "whoosh".
There was an endless panic in his mind, he didn't expect that the leader's headless body would burst out of blood and fall to the ground, everything in front of him frightened him, almost scared him away, he had never experienced such a bloody scene and was immediately stunned.
When he awoke, he found that the carriage was gone, and that his companions who had gone down the mountain with him had died, and he was the only one left among the dozen or so robbers. In the end, he ran back to the mountains in fright, and from then on, he fell into a stuttering problem, and when he rejoined the other commanders, he could only listen to others shout in their throats: "robbery"!
