Chapter 73

"You can't go inside with these weapons. There are many spies of water thieves in those villages over there. If they see them, you will die."

The old man also sewed a fishing net. After putting the net aside, he said.

Not far away, Qin Shuo can also see some small houses, which must be a fishing village.

"What should I do?" Qin Shuo also had some vexing, slightly respectful inquiries.

"Put your weapons with me, and I'll keep them for you." The old man said.

Qin Shuo was about to agree, but Ma Yuan stood up with some vigilance on his face and said to Qin Shuo, "it's better not to give weapons to such people. If something happens, it's not something that can be solved simply."

As a general, he naturally has his own consideration. In fact, after Ma Yuan said this, Qin Shuo also responded.

The old man laughed and said, "in fact, you don't have to be so vigilant. I and those water thieves also have hatred that we don't share. At the beginning, my son was actually a yamen servant in the county government."

After talking about this, the old man did not go on, but Qin Shuo still looked at the sadness in his eyes.

As a Yamen in the county yamen, since he lives in a place full of water thieves, the ending is not difficult to imagine. Maybe he was buried under the sword of these water thieves.

In addition, the old people's disdain for the villagers may also be one of the accomplices. There is no egg under the nest.

During the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. These villagers must be facing the water thieves in their hearts, otherwise they would not survive by the water.

Besides, the old man's words didn't seem to be faking. Qin Shuo thought about it and asked the soldiers to give the weapons to the old man. However, they all had some short blades that could be easily carried.

Even with the water thieves, it must be possible for these generals and soldiers to retreat as long as they have these short blades.

There is no place to rest in the evening, so we have to stay in those fishing villages. It is not so fast to find Ganning.

After putting all these weapons in the old man's house, Qin Shuo also gave the old man some money as a gift, but the old man didn't seem to care at all and didn't accept the money.

At this time, Qin Shuo really believed in the old man. Instead of pushing and shoving, he wanted to wait until he found Gan Ning to give him more money.

Looking at the old man's shabby fishing boat, Qin Shuo also sighed slightly. The world outside and the world in shuobai village are just like a parallel world, and there is no way to compare them.

In fact, the whole environment of the late Han Dynasty was the same. The old people still had a boat as their home, but many of them didn't even have a boat.

When Qin Shuo saw this situation, he also felt some sigh. His village might grow up slowly in the future, but he would never change anything because of the development of military affairs and the increase of territory.

The number of soldiers in one's own territory must be controlled. Because of the bonus of the territory, the quality of soldiers is very different from that of other villages. When the upper limit is higher, the combat effectiveness will naturally be improved.

Qin Shuo didn't want to have any cannon fodder under his hand. Instead, he wanted all his soldiers to be elites, who could win the war with the least casualties, while others could be used in the production process.

Only if production is improved, people's quality of life will certainly be greatly improved, at least not as it is now.

Although there are only about 30 soldiers here, each of them takes one as ten. When there are dozens of them, even if they are unarmed, they can deal with hundreds of water thieves.

Of course, the water thieves mentioned here are not of high strength. If they are replaced by the future Jinfan thieves, the situation will be reversed.

Qin Shuo and dozens of people walked towards the small fishing village not far away. Before they came to the village, several villagers with sticks came to them.

"Who are you? What's the matter here? " The villagers were wary on their faces and yelled rudely.

Although there are not many people in Qin Shuo, and all of them are strong men with big waists, these villagers seem to have no fear at all.

"We are businessmen passing by. When we came here, we didn't take this road because there were so many water thieves. But now that all the goods are sold out, we only have some money left, so we decided not to take a detour."

Qin Shuo answered.

After hearing the word "Qian Cai", the eyes of several villagers opposite seemed to be shining, but they soon hid. Instead of the ferocity on their faces, they were replaced by a smile.

"In that case, it's already a little late now. Why don't you wait for me to live in Jiangliu village?"Several villagers looked at each other and finally reached an agreement.

"This is very suitable for me. Thank you very much. We are worried that we have no place to live. The money is the cost of our stay tonight. "

Qin Shuo smiles happily and takes out a gold from his arms and hands it to several people.

The greedy look on the faces of those villagers could not be hidden at this moment. As a result, Qin Shuo's money would take them to the village.

Qin Shuo was also a businessman who pretended to be a "stupid man with a lot of money". He did not show any sense of precaution, so he followed several people to the village.

After Qin Shuo walked behind and made a wink, Ma Yuan immediately understood what he meant. He put his hands behind his back and made a series of gestures.

One can see from the appearance of these villagers that what the old man said should be correct. It can be seen from the words and deeds of these people that they are greedy for money. Moreover, it seems that such means have been used more than once and twice, showing great proficiency.

Under the guidance of those villagers, all of Qin Shuo's soldiers lived in the village. Basically, every two or three soldiers lived together. In this way, if something happened, they could take care of them.

There was no word all night, but to Qin Shuo's surprise, nothing happened tonight, and the villagers who seemed to be unruly didn't harass Qin Shuo.

However, Qin Shuo still will not let go of his guard. It seems that there is only one reason why these villagers did not go out. Qin Shuo came in such a hurry that the villagers were not ready.

After getting up in the morning, Qin Shuo with Ma Yuan also wandered around the village, ready to inquire about Ganning.

Everyone in the village looks at Qin Shuo with strange eyes. Even the smile on his face is so false. He is not treated as a guest, but as a prey.

However, after a morning's inquiry, Qin Shuo didn't find any news, but only one thing made Qin Shuo feel a little interesting, that is, there is a player village next to this village.

I didn't expect that there were players who were not afraid of death. They actually set up a village in this place. Are you really afraid of water thieves?
