Chapter 92 092: Social Criticism 【Ask monthly ticket】
The middle-aged man did not agree.
He reasoned to consult with others.
Shen Tang relied on his excellent hearing to hear the middle-aged man bow his head and say a few words to a few colleagues when he went back. Those colleagues also had the same worries, but Shen Tang made the "servants" wait far away, and came alone to "borrow" the flint and water and food, which seemed to be no threat.
The final result of the negotiation is to help this.
The middle-aged man nodded, turned around and waved to Shen Tang and the two, and greeted loudly: "Come here, two little brothers."
Shen Tang put on an innocent smile that was ignorant of the world, and clasped his fists at several people, saying: "Thank you, all strong men, you have really helped me a lot. Although it is not yet autumn, the night on the mountain is cold and windy, and our brothers wear less clothes. I'm really worried about getting sick from the cold..."
The middle-aged man only felt that these two were squeamish.
Young people are full of yang energy, and it is not the twelfth lunar month of winter. How can they easily suffer from frostbite if they only stay in the wild for one night?
Thinking so in his heart, but not showing it on the face, he took Zhai Le to get the kindling and water bag dry food - a hard battle with the bandits not long ago caused them to lose a lot of supplies, so the dry food and water that can be evened out at this moment There are not many bags, only two or three servings.
The middle-aged man looked embarrassed and embarrassed, and reluctantly said: "Oh, there are only so many, please don't dislike it, little brother."
Zhai Le will naturally not dislike it.
With so many wounded, it is extremely rare for them to be willing to lend a helping hand to strangers they meet by chance.
Zhai Le was thinking about how to delay staying, when he turned his head, he saw Shen Tang sitting by the campfire talking and laughing with several injured guards. Brother Shen's eyes are filled with pure admiration, appreciation and curiosity, which makes people subconsciously lower his age.
Brother Shen is not very old, he is less than twelve years old, he has not yet started to grow his head at this age, his face is full of childishness coupled with too innocent and innocent eyes, at first glance he thought he was under ten years old. Who would be too wary of a yellow-mouthed child?
I just think it's childish and cute.
Zhai Le: "..."
He always thought that he could talk quite well, even his elder brother's personality sometimes couldn't bear him, and asked him to silence his voice to try to clean himself up. It wasn't until I met Brother Shen in front of me that I realized that there are people beyond people and heaven beyond the sky, and the mouth does not stop, babbling endlessly.
When Zhai Le passed by, Shen Tang greeted him.
"Brother, come and sit down and listen to the story."
Zhai Le was in a trance for a moment—if he hadn't remembered that he and Brother Shen were not brothers, and they had known each other for only a few days, only with Brother Shen's warm attitude, familiar and intimate tone, and a sticky "Brother"...he really doubted himself Having such a big brother!
Brother and his real brother have never been so intimate.
However, as a person who is good at seizing opportunities, he sat down very naturally and said with a smile: "What story?"
When no one was paying attention, the middle-aged man's face was slightly stiff.
"This strong man told me that someone in his village met a raccoon on a rainy night in the mountains, and it was a male raccoon!" Shen Tang was full of curiosity and yearning, and couldn't help dancing when he was excited, "To repay my favor, I will give my benefactor a mansion." Liang Tian also promised with his body..."
To put it simply, he is a lazy farmer. His family is barren and poor. He makes a living by chopping firewood. He was trapped on the mountain by heavy rain one day, and accidentally rescued the raccoon slave demon. In order to repay the favor, the raccoon not only married the man a beautiful wife, gave the man a mansion, gold, silver and jewelry, but also promised the man to be a concubine, but was forced to separate because of the transgression.
The core of the story is vulgar and fake, but because the storyteller said that it happened to a fellow villager with excellent eloquence, it has a certain degree of credibility. In addition, the children who listened to the story had little knowledge, so they naturally listened with gusto. Mesmerized.
Zhai Le smiled - if this story is true, it is likely that the farmer dug someone's grave, took the owner of the tomb to bury him and made a fortune, and was afraid of being targeted, so he directed and acted such a "raccoon slave" "Repaying Grace"—on the surface, he still cooperates with Brother Shen to perform.
Shen Tang obsesses over listening to the story, flattering and praising from time to time, even if it is a boring story, she can still be startled, satisfying the sense of accomplishment of the storyteller, the flattering is so smoky, those wounded guards feel like their own The wound doesn't hurt as much anymore.
I have told seven or eight similar stories about goblins and ghosts, and Shen Tang also appropriately matched their clichés, shaking off his "family fortune". generation", "dandyism is easy to deceive".
Shen Tang also discovered some interesting things from the information they accidentally leaked—they were indeed the guards of the Lin family in Lingzhou. It is estimated that this Lin family is still a wealthy family. Because of the war, the whole family went south and planned to join some powerful relatives in the local area.
Where is it interesting?
What's interesting is that the two of Shen Tang have been here for so long and haven't seen the so-called "family members", who are all blood-stained and injured guards.
Of course, this may also be because there are too many team members and accompanying items, and the relatives of the main family are in other places, so they don’t mix with these guards. But the disturbance caused by the two of Shen Tang was not small, it is impossible for the master not to see it, and they would come to see him out of politeness.
The results are not.
Relying on the advantages of age and appearance, Shen Tang chatted with these guards, the volume was not too low, and there were no guards or servants to remind them to keep their voices down...
Although he had doubts, Shen Tang did not raise them.
Firstly, I was afraid of scaring the snake, and secondly, I was worried that I had misunderstood.
So—
She changed her mind and took the initiative to bring the topic to the bandits. When everyone talked about the bandits, they had something to say, and they all gritted their teeth with hatred, wishing to eat their flesh alive.
Shen Tang seemed to be trembling with fear from them.
With a crying tone, holding "Brother"'s arm and crying: "Brother, the bandits are so scary, we won't be unlucky to run into them, right? Brother, Ah Tang really wanted to go down the mountain, if I had known this, I would have gone hunting in the mountain What, I miss my father and mother, woo woo..."
Zhai Le froze all over, his expression was petrified.
But this did not affect the performance. From the outside, it seemed that he was frightened by the bandits and worried that he would lose his life at night.
So, with a white handsome face, he tried his best to lower his soft and blunt voice, begging the guards in a low voice to let their brothers rest nearby. They add up to a large number, and the bandits will weigh one or two when they see it. It's better than being broken by bandits one by one separately.
This request made the guards hesitate for a moment.
But the two of Shen Tang, especially Shen Tang's previous performance was too popular - what storm can these two brats cause? Don't be afraid even if there are frauds! Shen Tang was indeed pleasing, so he agreed.
Obtained permission, the two heaved a sigh of relief.
Because it was getting dark, Shen Tang yawned wearily, found a tree to lean against, and slept with arms folded, Zhai Le was not far from her.
The two of them were defenseless at all.
Seeing this, the guards completely believed that they were harmless, and continued to watch the night, chatting and chatting, but they didn't know that Shen Tang, who seemed to be asleep, made small movements to adjust his posture by leaning on his seat.
She just heard an extremely slight "dong" sound.
Something seems to be knocking on the board.
Listen carefully, there is also the rustling sound of cloth rubbing against wood. Her eyelids were slightly opened, and her eyes quickly scanned the large wooden boxes protected by the guards.
The sound came from one of the wooden boxes.
There are definitely people in it!
Sure enough, there is a problem.
