Chapter 243 Constant sincerity(1/2)
Li Banfeng squatted beside the mountain road for a whole day, grabbing several carts of food, livestock, cloth, and daily necessities.
When snatching away a cart of chores, Li Banfeng specially exchanged his thoughts with the farmer who was robbed:
"Look at this cream, it's obviously not of good quality. I'm an expert in this area, and the salesman is my junior brother!"
Xiao Yeci and Lu Chunying pushed the cart back and forth to the cave, and the food and drink expenses were piled high.
The children were so full after eating that Xiao Yeci took out needles, thread and measuring tape from the groceries to make clothes for the children.
These children were only wearing clothes, and they were covered in mud when they ran away. They had been hiding in the mountains and forests for more than a month, and their clothes were full of holes. They didn't bother to sew them or wash them. They looked really tattered.
This was done quite decently. Li Banfeng snatched back so much fabric to make clothes for his children.
After dinner, Li Banfeng asked about the origins of these children one by one.
A child named Xiaosuo was playing outside in the yard when he met a candy seller. The man said that business was good today and gave him candy for free to cheer him up.
After eating the candy, Xiao Suo fainted. The candy seller asked him to follow him, so he followed him all the way to the carriage.
After I got on the carriage, I tried to go home, but I couldn't. If I dared to move, the candy seller would beat him to death.
There were several other children who had very similar experiences. Some met a candy player, some met a foreign film player, and some met a puppet show performer.
These are the methods commonly used by Jiang Xiang to abduct children. Li Banfeng has heard similar things whether from other states or from Puzhou.
The remaining children were sent to this place by their parents, which Li Banfeng couldn't understand.
Their parents were foreigners and had no money to settle down in Jingde Village, so they spent all their savings and sent their children to Jingde Village in order to enable their children to receive the education of saints and have the opportunity to succeed.
"Aren't your parents coming to visit you?"
The young children were silent.
An older child shouted: "My dad came here once and I told him I wanted to go home. He slapped me twice and I never saw him again."
Children who grow up here are used to being tortured.
Children who were abducted were forced to be tortured.
How do we count these children who are sent here by their parents on their own initiative?
Li Banfeng was deep in thought when he suddenly heard Lu Chunying shout: "Mom, those idiots are here to steal food again!"
As soon as Li Banfeng went out, he saw a dozen half-grown teenagers standing in the distance, confronting Lu Chunying.
A boy of 13 or 14 years old, holding a bamboo stick in his hand, shouted at Lu Chunying: "You are just an errand boy, we can't blame you for asking your boss to speak out!"
Xiao Yeci walked out of the cave.
The young man cupped his fists at Xiao Yeci and said: "When you walk in the world, you carry the banner of your ancestor, and you rely on your loyalty as heavy as a mountain of gold.
Sister, you are a good person (you will make money), you have eaten all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, so just give me a bowl of soup for my junior brother!"
The others were following behind and making noises. Xiao Yeci was angry and annoyed. Looking at these children, he didn't know what to say for a moment: "Oh, you little bastard, he comes out to steal things, and he talks so irritatingly!"
Li Banfeng walked out of the cave and responded seriously: "Which line does the side-by-side piece on the zygote slide on?"
As soon as they saw Li Banfeng, the group of young men dwarfed by half.
They didn't know what kind of cultivation Li Banfeng was, but when they saw an adult man, they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.
The leading child bravely replied: "We are the disciples of the Seventh Master. If you haven't heard of the Seventh Master's name, come to our house and ask about it!"
Seventh Master?
Li Banfeng was stunned for a moment, then thought about the child's accent, and asked, "Are you from Haichiling?"
The child nodded and said, "Uncle, you have good eyesight!"
Li Banfeng said: "Throw it off!"
The child thought for a long time and replied: "Horn, horn..."
Li Banfeng smiled.
He probably wanted to say crotch vine.
"Your surname is Niu, do you know Pancake Village?" Almost everyone in Pancake Village has the surname Niu.
The child nodded and said: "I am from Pancake Village, my name is Niu Guangda!"
"Do you know Niu Fuzhi?"
"The hero of the Niu family is blessed and ambitious. That is my uncle."
Li Banfeng smiled.
How did this kid come to this place?
"Were you kidnapped here by someone?"
Niu Guangda shook his head and said, "I was sent here by my father. He said he wanted me to learn real skills."
Li Banfeng looked at the other children: "Are these children coming with you?"
"They are not from Pancake Village, but just like me, they were sent to Jingxian Village by their parents."
Jingxian Village, this is a child who escaped from another village.
Li Banfeng nodded: "Call all of you here, there will be food to eat here!"
Niu Guangda hesitated for a moment and asked: "Master, I haven't asked you your name yet."
Xiao Yeci gave Li Banfeng a hand: "My dear friend, the world is dangerous and there are some things that you cannot tell others easily."
Tell others easily?
Do you know my name?
Xiao Yeci was actually like them, she didn't know Li Banfeng's name either.
Li Banfeng looked at Niu Guangda and said, "My surname is En, and my name is En Gong."
His surname is En...
Niu Guangda turned around and looked at the children around him: "Which of you has learned hundreds of surnames? Do you have the surname En?"
…
Niu Guangda took a dozen children to live in the cave next door that night. Li Banfeng gave them a lot of food, but also explained the truth to them.
"Eating and drinking are not free. You have to work hard for me tomorrow."
Niu Guangda was a sensible young man. He straightened his back and said to Li Banfeng: "We all understand this principle. Without our benefactor giving us a bowl of rice, we can survive today."
, I will also starve to death tomorrow,
Since our benefactor has given instructions, we will hand over our lives to our benefactor. We can go up to the mountain of swords and descend into the sea of fire, all with a word from our benefactor."
Hearing this, Li Banfeng was silent for a moment and said: "There are two things I want to make clear to you.
The first thing is, your life is your own, don’t give it to anyone,
The second thing is, don’t talk nonsense about promises like mountains of swords and seas of fire, just do what you can, don’t belittle your promises, and don’t belittle yourself, do you understand me?”
Niu Guangda didn't understand what he was hearing, so Li Banfeng tried to be as straightforward as possible: "I'm going out to do some serious business tomorrow. Have you ever done anything like robbery?"
Niu Guangda dare not boast.
A young man next to him, named Fang Lianfu, with piercing eyes, looked at Li Banfeng and said, "My lord, we have thought about robbery before..."
Niu Guangda kicked Fang Lianfu, saying this as if we only dare to think about it and not do anything.
"My lord, we can do this business. I'll bring a few brave men to follow me. You can just give us a few words of advice."
Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "You don't know what kind of people should be robbed and what kind of people can be robbed. It's not your turn to actually take action.
Find a few people who are strong enough to push the cart and wait on the hillside. When I finish the business, go and bring the things back. If you can handle this matter well, you won't lose your chance."
The next day, Li Banfeng took everyone to the mountain road to rob again. They robbed for three days in a row, and the news spread to dozens of surrounding villages.
Most of the villagers did not dare to go up the mountain alone, but their devotion to the saint could not be broken.
When the mind is broken, the sincerity is broken. Without sincerity, how can there be any hope of studying?
The villagers discussed it, and six villages joined together and sent 60 strong men to escort the villagers to deliver food to the mountains.
These six villages were very impressive. The day before departure, the village prepared a banquet for sixty strong men.
On the day of departure, each of the six villages put up a big flag to clear the way in front of the team. The names of each village were written on the six flags, "Jingde", "Jingxian", "Musheng", "Mingde",
"Si Xian", "Huai En".
Standing behind the big flag are six middle-aged people. They are all carefully selected from the village. They have seen the world, their eyes are good at seeing things, and they have experience in the world.
When setting off, the strong men first shouted: "Come on!"
Jianghu people call themselves Laohe, which means: "We are Jianghu people, and we should look at each other appropriately!"
Sixty people formed two teams to protect the villagers who were transporting food expenses.
Crossing the bridge in front, the middle-aged man standing in the front row shouted: "Xuanliangzi, let it go, let's go!"
This sentence has two meanings. One is to tell your own people to walk faster, as there may be an ambush here.
