Chapter 8

Gao Shun rode his horse all the way to the south.

On the way, he saw more than one village, but every village was empty. When he went in to check, it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

After almost half an hour, Gao Shun finally saw a village from afar.

"I finally saw people, I thought I had traveled through time again." Gao Shun muttered, speeding up.

The scale of this village is obviously larger than other villages, and there is a lot of smoke.

"Old man, may I ask..." Seeing an old man leaning on crutches not far away, Gao drove his horse forward and asked with a self-conscious smile.

Unexpectedly, the old man looked like he had seen a ghost, and he was extremely frightened, and walked back with a cane.

"Hey..." Gao Shun just wanted to call the old man back, but as soon as he made a sound, the old man dropped his crutches and started to run with a limp.

At the same time, he was still shouting hoarsely: "Come on, the thief is here again, the thief is here!"

I am not a thief...

Gao Shun was a little depressed. He was regarded as some kind of thief. How could there be such a well-equipped and handsome thief like him?

Just as he was about to explain, Gao Shun's expression changed, he turned his horse's head around, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and turned around and left.

what did he seeHundreds of middle-aged men rushed towards him wielding kitchen knives and hoes, shouting something unclear.

Without thinking about it, he could guess that the old man already regarded him as a thief, and most of these young men came out to kill him.

What's the situation, are the folk customs here so tough?It shouldn't be, logically speaking, this place belongs to Xuzhou, and it should be the people who are honest and honest.

Gao Shun couldn't figure it out, but at the moment, fleeing for his life was his priority, so he didn't care too much about it.

Seeing that the thief disappeared into the distance, Zhang Caicai breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to signal everyone around him to stop, and went to help the old man who fell to the ground.

"It's all right! There is only one thief, and we have already scared him away!" Someone shouted beside him.

"No, Ali, I thought the thieves came in groups, at least dozens of them. How could there be only one person this time?" Zhang Cai sensed something was wrong and asked the people around him.

He was the leader, and just now he heard Zhang Li shouting that there were thieves who ran out, but he didn't expect that there was only one thieves.

"This... I don't know either. When I heard Uncle Wang yell that the thief is coming, I took the big guys out." The man named Zhang Li scratched his head.

Zhang Cai had no choice but to look at the old man: "Uncle Wang, have you seen the thief?"

"Hmm..." The old man suddenly blushed, "I called someone when I saw him holding a weapon in his hand, and I'm not sure if it's him."

"However, he is well dressed." The old man tried his best to recall: "He seems to be still wearing armor, and he is riding a tall horse. It seems that he wants to ask me something."

Zhang Cai frowned, it seemed that he had probably misunderstood.But he didn't say much, it's good for Uncle Wang to be more vigilant, after all, thieves often come to the town to rob.

"Go back, you should be fine today."

However, Zhang Cai still kept his eyes open and let the brothers hide in the dark.

……

In the distance, Gao Shun was still panting heavily. He really didn't expect that he was only here to recruit soldiers, and he would suffer such an encounter.

It should be regarded as a thief.He also heard the old man's shout just now, but the situation was too urgent to explain, so he had to leave first.

It was because he was wearing too ostentatiously, Gao Shun made a self-criticism in his heart.A well-equipped man riding a tall horse suddenly appeared in a small town, just like a man driving a tank and carrying a rocket launcher on his back suddenly appeared in a village in the later generations. Can you not be afraid?

After taking off the equipment and going again later, Gao Shun still wanted to give it a try.

You must know that the hundreds of middle-aged men who came out just now really made him greedy. They are so sturdy, and they are good soldiers after training.Moreover, they are all from the same place, and there will be no disputes.

In the evening, Gao Shun tied his horse not far from the town, hid his weapons and armor, especially the silver, and dug a hole to bury them, and then walked towards the town.

"Stop, who the hell!"

Several big men suddenly stood in front of Gao Shun and shouted.

Obviously they are more like thieves, well, blocking people and blocking the road, they are almost yelling to stay and buy road money.

Gao Shun complained in his heart, but still smiled on his face: "Brothers, I pass by here, can I borrow a place to stay overnight?"

"You stay here first!" Several people couldn't make up their minds, they discussed it, and Gao Shun was stopped, and one of them ran back.

Most likely looking for a leader.Gao Shun thought in his heart.

Sure enough, after a while, a middle-aged man arrived, saw Gao Shun, and asked, "Are you...?"

The middle-aged man was naturally Zhang Cai, and he hurried over when he heard another stranger appeared.

"Brother, I went to Xiapi City to seek refuge with my relatives, but I was met by thieves on the way, and my horse and luggage were taken away. I don't know where I am now. I only saw someone in your town after walking for an afternoon. Let me stay for one night." Gao Shun still said the same rhetoric, sincerely.

He purposely made his clothes a little tattered and made some mud stains on his face, just to be more realistic.

If he couldn't get in like this, then he couldn't help it.

Sure enough, Zhang Cai did not dispel his doubts about him, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It's easy to say, it's better to live in my house."

Gao Shun responded directly and followed Zhang Cai.

Although Zhang Cai is the leader, the house at home is not very good, it just looks a little stronger than others.

A woman in the room was burning firewood, and when she saw Zhang Cai coming in, she was about to go up to him, but she saw a stranger coming in, showing vigilance on her face.

"Xiao Cui, this is..." Zhang Cai wanted to introduce Gao Shun, but found that he didn't even know Gao Shun's name.

"Gao Yuan." Gao Shun said in time.

"This is Gao Yuan, come here to stay overnight."

The woman named Xiaocui nodded and continued to cook.

And Zhang Cai took Gao Shun to sit down and talk, and Zhang Cai also introduced his name and identity.

During the conversation, Zhang Cai also asked Gao Shun about some news about Xiapi City. Fortunately, Gao Shun integrated his memory and answered fluently.

Soon it was time for dinner, and Zhang Cai's two sons also came back, one named Zhang Hu and the other Zhang Bao, they were both fifteen or sixteen years old, Zhang Hu was alright, Zhang Bao was actually taller than Gao Shun, It's about 1.9 meters to the touch.

You know, at this time, a height of 1.6 meters is normal, a height of 1.7 meters is considered tall, and a height of 1.8 meters is even rarer, let alone 1.9 meters.

Seeing Gao Shun's suspicious expression, Zhang Cai explained with a wry smile: "The first one is fine, but the second one doesn't know what's going on. Great."

Gao Shun nodded.

Soon, it was time for dinner.At this time, ordinary people mostly eat two meals a day, and the second meal is at five or six in the evening, and they go to bed after eating.

The woman and the two teenagers have all retreated, leaving only Gao Shun and Zhang Cai.

When Gao Shun was about to ask Zhang Cai why there were so many people here instead of the surrounding villages, he only heard Zhang Cai say quietly:

"That person in the afternoon, is it you?"
