023 Uzbekistan Three

"Wow—"

Mo Shan tightened the reins, looked at the sky, and announced, "Stop and rest for a while."

The group tied two mules and horses by the tree, sat around, and took out dry food to eat. No one made a loud noise or ran around, showing good discipline.

Tang Hai noticed along the way that these villagers could obey orders and did whatever they were told, and no one complained. In addition, they were all with swords and steel forks, which were completely a paramilitary organization.

"Come on, master, drink water."

Mo Mian handed over the leather water bag. Tang Hai was not polite, so he took it and drank it. After walking for a long time, he was exhausted.

The mountain road is rugged, that's not a joke. When he got lost in the mountains, he always picked a relatively flat place to walk. Unlike this time, he tried to take shortcuts as much as possible, and he just flipped over the mountains.

The most troublesome thing is that there is a mountain stream in the middle, without a bridge, and you have to wade through it. It was cold and the ground was frozen. They took off their clothes, tied them up with ropes, and took them to the head of Moshan, and pulled a mule and horse into the water first. The water was not shallow, and the deepest part was almost flooded to their chests.

He had a headache when he thought of having to go back.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, Mo Shan stood up and signaled everyone to silence. He pointed his ears and sounded.

The others tacitly put down their dry food, pulled out their weapons and stood in all directions, surrounding Tang Hai in the middle. Before leaving, Mo Shan ordered that Tang Hai should be protected no matter what happened.

Seeing that everyone was facing a great enemy, Tang Hai was infected by the atmosphere, his heart was beating wildly. He reached into his waist bag and felt something cold, and his nerves suddenly tense.

rustle……

In the unbearable silence, the sound of stepping on the dead leaves came.

Tang Hai saw a villager standing in front of him rolling the bow and arrow and pulling it all over. He couldn't help but hold his attraction, clasping the things in his hand tightly and looking at Moshan.

Mo Shan's face was as deep as water, his eyes were cold and fierce, and he held a steel fork in his hand, and he was like a tiger ready to go.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, mixed with the sound of mules and horses sniffing.

Finally, several people appeared in sight, dressed similarly to those of the villagers in Mojia Village, and were all carrying weapons.

The visitor noticed them immediately, making a sharp whistling sound. After a brief noise, more than a dozen people appeared and held various weapons at them.

The battle is about to break out.

At this time, Mo Shan spoke, "Is it from Jumu Village? I am Mo Shan from Mojia Village."

A leading figure on the opposite side walked out, "It's indeed Mo Shan, I am Shi Tao from Jumu Village."

Tang Hai breathed a sigh of relief. Since he knew each other, he probably didn't need to hit him. He turned around and looked, and when he saw the people next to him, he felt relieved, but he didn't put down his weapons. He still kept his vigilance enough.

After the two leaders said a few words, Shi Tao suddenly waved his hand and retreated with the man.

Tang Hai was a little strange. Since he knew each other, why didn’t he meet together and walk around? It was safer to have more people. He couldn’t help asking Mo Shan.

Mo Shan warned him in a heavy tone, "If you don't want to die too quickly in this mountain, then you can't trust anyone except your own people!"

This sentence made Tang Hai frightened. How chaotic is this world?

…………

After resting for a while, the group continued to rush. Tang Hai obviously felt that the atmosphere in the team was much more tense. Thinking of Mo Shan's words just now, his heart was heavy.

After dark, they found a place to go against the lee and prepared to spend the night. Mo Shan arranged for people to take turns to watch, and everyone had a share, except Tang Hai was the exception.

After listening to Mo Shan’s arrangement, Tang Hai raised objections, “I also want to participate in the vigil.”

Mo Shan didn't say much after hearing this and agreed.

Tang Hai is not asking for trouble. He knows very well that in this dangerous world, he cannot do it alone, he must have help. But why do others work hard for you? This has to win people's hearts step by step.

Soon, he sensitively discovered that the eyes of several villagers at him changed a little. He knew that he was doing right.

Amid tension and alertness, a long night passed.

…………

The next day, it was almost noon and Wushi Town arrived.

Tang Hai walked up to a slope and took a breath, his eyes suddenly became clear. Surrounded by the mountains, there was a narrow plain and winding river next to it.

"No wonder this place became a market, with a good location," he said intimately.

The market is surrounded by tall wooden stakes, and there is only a gate several meters wide for people to enter and exit. Today is the day of the market. There are many people coming to the market. There are several teams in front of the door, and dozens of people are waiting to enter.

Tang Hai and the others also lined up and kept a certain distance from the team ahead. However, it can be seen that although everyone was still vigilant, their expressions became much more relaxed.

"At the market, everyone should be careful. When going out, you have to have a few people together and not act alone to avoid any accidents..." While there was still time, Mo Shan once again emphasized discipline.

Tang Hai knew that this was mostly for him and Mo Mian to listen to it. The only two of them in the entire team are the first newcomers.

As he was talking, there was a commotion at the front door.

"What happened?"

"Is it the bandits who came?"

The teams behind were unaware of the situation and suddenly became alert. They pulled out weapons at the same time and protected the goods in the middle.

Mo Shan pressed his hand on Tang Hai's shoulder with a calm expression and pointed a person's name, "Mo Shi, go and ask, be careful."

A tall and thin man rushed out without saying a word.

Tang Hai looked over and saw that the two teams near the gate were very calm, and he knew it.

After a while, the tall and thin man who went to inquire about the situation came back and revealed the reason, "It was the people from Hongshan Village who had a conflict with the guards of the Wu family."

"Are the people in Hongshan Village crazy?" Mo Shan said in a lost voice.

In the vast mountains, markets are a concentrated place for population and wealth, which can easily attract the covetousness of bandits. Therefore, behind a market, there are often strong characters, otherwise it will not be maintained.

Behind Wushiji are the three brothers of the compatriots, known as the Three Hegemons of the Wu family.

The three Wu family tyrants are famous for their own reputation, and their own strength is unfathomable. There is also a savage of more than 50 people under their command, each with a long steel sword. You must know that even Moshan cannot afford a long steel sword in the entire Mojia Village. Apart from the forces that are in the market, few people can afford such a force.

It is precisely because of this armed force that the Wushiji peace was protected, and no bandits dared to make an idea here.

Although Hongshan Village is stronger than Mojia Village, it is not on the same level as the three tyrants of the Wu family. Do you dare to have conflicts with the people of the Wu family?

The tall and thin man looked a little ugly, "It is said that because he is now entering the market, the fee he has to pay has doubled."

"What?" Hearing this, everyone except Tang Hai changed their faces.
