748. Chapter 748: Village Invite
Three days later, at noon, everyone walked tired and sleepy, three days, no one was seen, surrounded by the vast grassland, everyone looked tired eyes, boring, finally came to a small hillside, ready to rest and then walk, the first mountain eagle suddenly shouted in surprise: "Brothers, look? ”
Everyone looked up in amazement, there was a mountain village in front of the gentle hilly area, there were some drought-tolerant poplars growing outside the village, the leaves had fallen, the village seemed to be made of mud, low, shabby, there were no people outside, but a few sheep were bored and gnawing on the grass on the ground.

"Village?" Everyone was pleasantly surprised, but soon sat down on the hillside with a dejected expression, and found that what could the village do? This is a neighboring country, not its own country, the language is not understood, the customs are not understood, everyone goes in with a gun, and they will definitely be beaten by the enemy on the spot, and they don't have to get into trouble.
"Everyone spread out in place to rest, sniper cover, I'll go over and see if I can ask for some help." Lan Xue saw that everyone was tired and urgently needed a hot meal, so she couldn't bear it, so she immediately proposed.
"Can it work?" Luo Zheng also knows the situation of the team, continuous marching, everyone doesn't talk about it, but the body is indeed very seriously overdrawn, especially malnutrition, if you don't replenish it, you can't bear it at all, how can you complete the task of rescuing the Tiger King? Looking at Lan Xue with some concern, she asked uncertainly.
"Try it, I'm a woman, it's easier to communicate." Lan Xue smiled bitterly, untied the equipment on her body, put down her weapons, and didn't bring anything, so as not to cause misunderstandings, in this area of warlordism, children will play with guns, and guns are not a rare thing here, if you don't release kindness first, it is easy to cause conflicts.
Luo Zheng also knows that this is a last resort choice, if you don't rest, everyone's body will definitely cross, how can you talk about the task? Helplessly, he advised: "You must be careful, put the pistol on your back, just in case." ”
"It's fine." Lan Xue agreed, checked the pistol, put it on the belt on her back, took off her helmet, spread her hair, tied her tail with a rubber band, took off her gilly uniform and combat uniform outside, and revealed the camouflage vest inside.
Lan Xue glanced at Luo Zheng, but smiled happily and said to everyone: "Be careful, I'll go." As he spoke, he picked up the last compressed biscuit and put it in his pocket, walked to the front, and looked around vigilantly as he walked, in case of accidents, the headset did not dare to take it off, so as to facilitate timely contact.
Everyone found a place to lie down and hide, set up a sniper rifle, and not long after, everyone saw Lan Xue come to the entrance of the village, and some women came out of the village, holding guns in their hands, vigilantly aiming at Lan Xue, Luo Zheng and others were startled, and quickly aimed at the past, waiting solemnly, but heard Lan Xue's advice not to shoot.
Lan Xue was also startled when she saw the woman with a gun rushing out, but found that everyone's posture with a gun was not reasonable, knowing that it was not a well-trained armed person, who looked murderous, but she didn't feel murderous, and was puzzled, and whispered to everyone not to shoot, she raised her hands flat shoulder to show goodwill, and said in the international lingua franca: "Don't shoot, do you understand?" ”
I asked twice in a row, what were these people chirping, Lan Xue didn't understand a word, and thought about withdrawing it, suddenly, a woman came from behind the crowd, wearing a black screen, wearing a black turban, holding a gun, followed by several women, came to Lan Xue, and asked suspiciously: "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”
"We're mercenaries, let's come here to find something to eat, I don't know if it's okay?" Lan Xue said politely, deliberately using the word "we", first, to show that she is not alone, and second, to remind the other party not to mess around.
This person heard Luo Zheng's voice, looked at Lan Xue with a solemn face, where could he see the figure, and said suspiciously: "You are mercenaries?" What are the requirements if we hire you? ”
"It depends on what you do." Lan Xue reluctantly continued the topic and said, once this identity is determined, you can only play it down, otherwise it will be exposed, and it will be difficult to move an inch at that time.
"Save people." The woman said with a serious face, looking at Lan Xue tightly, perhaps thinking of something sad, and a touch of pain welled up in her eyes.
"Your question is very vague, and I can't judge the difficulty of hiring." Lan Xue continued helplessly.
The woman didn't answer immediately, but said something to the people around her, everyone put down their guns, but still looked at Lan Xue vigilantly, and gradually dispersed, the woman continued: "My name is Lucia, a missionary, a doctor, a Westerner, I came to this village ten years ago and settled down with my husband, three months ago, General Wata's men came and ransacked this village, and took away all the men over fifteen years old and under sixty years old. ”
"General Vata?" Lan Xue was stunned, thinking that this person should be a certain warlord, he was here to save people, it was inconvenient to intervene in local affairs, and he didn't want to deceive the other party, so he said embarrassedly: "I need to discuss this with my teammates, can't I give you a direct answer?" ”
"Are you afraid of the devil?" Lucia asked dissatisfied.
"It's not about being afraid or not, but the difficulty of the task itself needs to be assessed, and if we can't complete it, or if we can't do it with certainty, wouldn't it be death?" Lan Xue asked rhetorically.
"You have a point, what if we hire you to train? You are mercenaries and know how to shoot guns, you teach us people to shoot guns, and everyone has the ability to protect themselves, what conditions do you need? Lucia continued to ask, her eyes firmly looking at Lan Xue, full of anticipation.
"It's simple, we can stay here for three days, you just need to provide a house for us to rest and food for us to eat, how about it?" Lan Xue was immediately overjoyed and said, as long as she doesn't intervene in local affairs, it's easy to do.
"Okay, that's it." After Lucia got Lan Xue's reply, she said happily, and while explaining to everyone in the local language, the people around her immediately cheered and looked very excited.
Lan Xue saw this scene, but for no reason poured out a wave of sympathy, pity for these people, life is hard and bearable, men and children were taken away, life and death are unknown, and they have to arm themselves to protect themselves, who knows the pain? At this moment, Lan Xue decided to train them well, and the team took a break by the way.
"Please call your companions." Lucia said happily, "I've asked everyone to prepare food, and hot water, and the training is gone." ”
"Don't worry, it's just, you have so many weapons and ammunition?" Lan Xue said suspiciously.
