Chapter 120: Jianghu gossip

 Not long after, Gu Zhang and the village chief came back.

 The entry fee to the city is still the same, 300 cash per person.

It was a familiar experience, and no one raised any questions about the city fee at this time. Gu Zhang estimated that Gu Rong had spent all the money he had, and was thinking of giving some secretly, when he saw the eldest sister coming over and stuffing it into Gu Rong's hand. After grabbing something, he left.

Gu Zhang felt relieved and called everyone into the city.

 After stopping briefly in Xincheng, everyone continued to move forward.

After walking like this for a few days, before setting off this morning, Uncle Ma said seriously: "Today we are going to cross the Qinglong Gorge. There is a group of bandits occupying the Qinglong Gorge. There are about a hundred or so people. Everyone needs to go faster. , strive to pass the Qinglong Gorge boundary before dusk.”

"Secondly, everyone should cheer up. These bandits are not the refugees we encountered before. The bandits have been robbing homes all year round. They have some skills in fists and kicks. If they start to attack, no one will care about anyone. If you don’t work hard, you might have to explain it there.”

These words made everyone feel uneasy.

 But we still have to go.

Hurrying quickly and slowly, we encountered refugees blocking the road. At dusk, we had just entered the boundary of Qinglong Mountain.

Seeing that it was getting dark, everyone was worried. Gu Zhang asked Uncle Ma, "Can we go back a few miles and stop here during the day tomorrow?"

Uncle Ma shook his head, "It doesn't matter if you live today or tomorrow, sooner or later you have to live."

"What you need to rob is the same as during the day. It's just that during the day, everyone feels safer."

"This journey is less than ten miles. If you walk faster, it will only take half an hour."

Uncle Ma shouted, "Follow me, everyone, walk faster!"

Not long after entering the mountain road, it seemed to get dark all of a sudden, perhaps because of the cover of the surrounding trees.

The wind lantern was hung on the mule cart, and no one dared to speak. For a while, there was only the sound of mules' hooves and the rustling of dead leaves in the mountain wind.

The doll door had already been put into the car. Qian stuffed Bao'er over, and no one said anything. Gu Zhang only said, "Sit inside quietly and don't move or scream."

Bao'er didn't say anything. He screamed that day and was not only scolded by everyone, but also beaten by Gu Zhonghao. He also felt fear in his heart.

After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, Uncle Ma saw a handful of thorns lying on the road ahead. His heart trembled. He stopped the mule cart and asked in a loud voice, "Is that a hero from Qinglong Gorge in front of you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked out of the dark place beside the road.

 The person who came was a bearded man, holding a big knife in his hand and looking sideways at Uncle Ma.

Uncle Ma got out of the car and said, "Thank you for your hard work, boss."

The bearded man lazily raised his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper. Whose food do you eat? Whose clothes do you wear?"

Uncle Ma took out an **** flag from his bag and put it on the mule cart. "I hope the boss of the **** agency will give me a good show of strength, old horse."

Every year Zhenwei Escort provides some benefits to the bandits on the roads they often walk. This Qinglong Gorge is also provided every year.

The bearded man hesitated for a moment, "It's not that I won't give you face, but it's just a bad year. Everyone needs to eat. If I give you face, everyone will starve to death."

Uncle Ma said in a deep voice: "My ancestors have left some food, and the head of the house can eat it all. Brother, I only eat a small amount. I ask the head of the house to show his respect."

At this time, Gu Sanlang whispered: "What did Uncle Ma say? Why are you so verbose when you are dealing with this bandit? The bandit is only one person. What is there to be afraid of? If you don't believe me, you can't defeat him!"
