Three Hundred and Thirty-Nine, Inflated Bandits

There were only a few hundred refugees in this small settlement. Ren Xiaosu saw children running around at the entrance of the earthen kiln dug out in the distance. It seemed that this small settlement had been taking shape for a long time.

There are a lot of small rivers in the valley area. In Ren Xiaosu's mind, places with rivers should be lush and lush, but the valley area is not.

The large area of ​​sandy soil on the ground will wash away the soil on both sides of the river when it passes by. Maybe in a few years, the riverbed will form a new valley. After the dry season or the river diverts, it will leave a scar-like valley on the ground.

The entire land seemed to be cut out by water.

The place chosen by the refugees is relatively flat and suitable for planting some crops.

Originally, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin planned to live here for a while, and get to know the banditry in the whole area with the refugees here.

As a result, while they were talking, smoke and dust suddenly rose from the distance. From a distance, they thought it was a small sandstorm.

An old lady said nervously, "Why is there another person here, whose family is this time?"

Ren Xiaosu asked: "Is that the bandit?"

"Isn't it the bandits? The smoke is the sand raised by the motorcycles they were riding," the aunt said while running towards the kiln, and she shouted to the other side, "Take the child back to the kiln."

I saw the bandit team in the distance approaching quickly, and gradually everyone could see the figure. The motorcycle they were sitting on was like a wild beast, and the sound of the engine and exhaust pipe was like a wild beast roaring.

This scene was extraordinarily rough and violent.

From a distance, people could still hear the excited roars of these bandits. They saw these refugees as if they were prey.

Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin exchanged glances and then got mixed up in the refugee team, planning to wait and see.

The refugees seem to have had experience in coping with it for a long time. After hiding their children, they lined up on the flat ground, as if they were welcoming an officer, but the line was crooked and everyone had different moods.

Ren Xiaosu counted, there are more than 20 bandits in this team, they are not considered to be powerful in the whole river valley area, but they don't know how many people are hiding in their lair.

But I saw the group of bandits riding motorcycles and roaring around the refugees,

This is a demonstration by the bandits. Circle by circle, the circle they ride is getting smaller and smaller, and the refugees can only huddle tightly out of fear.

Gradually, when the expressions of fear appeared on the faces of all the refugees, the team of bandits gradually stopped. One person jumped off the motorcycle and pulled off the scarf he used to cover his mouth: "Are you farming here?"

"Yes, yes, yes," said a refugee in fear, "I have been planting here for several years!"

"What's the point of farming," the bandit spat on the ground, spit out the sand in his mouth, and then said with a smile, "I see that you have a lot of old men here. Men and women should be born with pride, and hide here every day timidly farming. What's the point?"

"What do we eat if we don't farm the land," the refugee said in a low voice, "We just want to grow some crops, as long as we can support ourselves."

"From today onwards, you are following me," the bandit leader patted the faces of the refugees in front of him: "Follow me, those who eat hot food and drink hot food. The consortium used to bully you, so follow me to bully the consortium in the future!"

Ren Xiaosu observed these people, thinking what Yang Xiaojin said, the motorcycles of these people are probably new, and the automatic firearms in their hands are newer than the motorcycles. It seems that they have just updated their equipment not long ago.

What's even more exaggerated is that many of these people are carrying two guns on their backs, as if there is no place to use too many guns.

Maybe the new equipment gave the bandits confidence, more than 20 people dared to bully the consortium...

When the refugees heard that these people were going to fight against the consortium, they became even more frightened: "We don't fight against the consortium, we only know how to farm."

However, the bandit leader's face darkened: "If you don't fight, you have to fight, brothers, take them all back to me!"

Ren Xiaosu was taken aback for a moment, this is a robbery, probably because there are too many guns, and now there are more guns than people, so this group of bandits wants to expand their size.

This matter must have something to do with the civil strife in the northern bandit den. The entire river valley area is now in chaos, and everyone is starting to break the rules!

"Are you going with them?" Ren Xiaosu asked in a low voice.

"Let's go," Yang Xiaojin responded, "Maybe we can learn more about the current situation in the valley area, and there are only more than 20 of them. If we want to leave, they won't be able to stop us at all."

"I want to say, why don't we just kill them..." Ren Xiaosu muttered.

With guns pointed at one after another, the refugees had no choice but to go back to the kiln to pick up their children, and were escorted all the way north.

The bandit leader rode a motorcycle by the side of the team, and the motorcycle rattled, and he shouted triumphantly: "Don't think that I, Jin Lanjin, is overbearing. If you say that you are the settlement at the outermost edge of the valley, you don't know the situation. Now the settlements in the north have been robbed by all the people. Even if we don't take you away today, there will be others coming tomorrow."

"But we don't know how to fight," said the refugee with a sad face.

"Who doesn't know how to fight? I'll give you guns, don't save me bullets, just do it! And it doesn't matter if you don't want to fight, you can do other things too," Jin Lan said with a big laugh.

I don't know what other things Jin Lan is talking about, but this sentence confirms Ren Xiaosu's guess. It seems that the guns and bullets are really too many to rob people.

However, Ren Xiaosu wondered how much munitions Qing Zhen and the others had put here, and why it seemed that the entire river valley area was in a mess.

If this continues, many people will definitely die in the valley area.

Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimps. This has been the case since ancient times.

After the war subsides, I am afraid that the entire river valley area will be integrated, and a very large bandit organization will be born.

Is this the purpose of Qing Zhen, to use killing to screen out the "impurities" in the valley area, so as to achieve the purpose of integrating the bandits in the entire valley area? Then hold this power in his hands?

And he just dropped a batch of guns and bullets, which made a group of bandits all swell.

Automatic rifles were rare for bandits, but the consortium knew very well that firearms and bullets were the least valuable.

Although there is no evidence, Ren Xiaosu has already confirmed that Qing Zhen must have done this, and there will be no one else.

Moreover, Ren Xiaosu was very sure that there must be Qing Zhen's backup in this valley area, and that was the force he would use to finally integrate the bandits.

At this time, because the Yang family was fighting with the Li family in the south, the defense in the north was empty, and at most there was only an independent regiment left for each barrier.

If this bandit army goes south, the barrier will definitely be impenetrable, but if they want to destroy all the factories outside the barrier, I am afraid that Yang's economy will be breathless for three years at once.

At this time, Yang probably thought that the bandits in the north were nothing to fear. After all, which consortium would take the bandits seriously and let them play with mud in the valley area by themselves.

Zong's and Yang's against such an opponent, I'm afraid it will be a very headache.
