Chapter 74 Mountain Thief
Several people had a smile on their faces, and the conversation between them clearly fell on Zhou Xing's ears.
"I'll go to the city to change these things later, which will be enough for our village to use for a few months." A big man with a beard laughed.
"That's for sure. This time, dozens of ordinary mountain flavors have been beaten, or at least more than ten taels of silver. And that thing is worth at least a hundred taels of silver. Another person whispered.
"Brother Hu, where are we going to sell that thing to?" The woman's voice was also a little rough, but it was much lower than that of several men.
The bearded man smiled and said, "I have planned this. There are only a few companies in Linshan City who can afford that thing, and Lei Yu's reputation is good, and it should be more reasonable to sell it to them. Do you think it's feasible?"
"Brother Hu is really careful. It's the best." One person high-fiveed, and the others also nodded with a smile.
Zhou Xing was curious, and his eyes also shimmered slightly. What can be worth hundreds of taels of silver? So much money, but his family can't earn it all his life. He accelerated his pace and walked not far behind the hunters, staring at the basket they were carrying, trying to see what it was.
Because he suddenly thought that he could not go home empty-handed like this. When he came out, he had made up his mind that he would go home.
Suddenly, several hunters stopped. The hunter named Brother Hu turned around, but he had a fierce face and thick eyebrows. He glanced at Zhou Xing and shouted, "Kid, what have you been following us for!"
Zhou Xing smiled and took a few steps closer and said honestly, "Brother, I don't know what you just said is worth a hundred taels of silver?"
As soon as this was said, several hunters were slightly discolored. They lowered their voices and talked. How could they fall into the ears of people far away from them? One man stared at Zhou Xing and shouted, "Kid, it's none of your business!"
"Brother, I just didn't mean to hear what you said. I'm just a little curious. Don't misunderstand me as a mountain thief." Zhou Xing saw what they were thinking at a glance and said quickly.
Who knew that his words made several people's hearts sink. Under the mutual look, Brother Hu laughed and said, "Little brother, you may have heard it wrong just now. We don't have that valuable thing, just hit some wild animals on the mountain."
"Yes! Boy, you must have heard it wrong. One person is attached to the road.
Zhou Xing was stunned, his eyes turned, and suddenly said, "It seems that I really heard it wrong."
Several hunters looked at each other again and were relieved. Although it is very close to Linshan City, as the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. There are often mountain thieves around here. Even if the city owner sends people to search several times, it has no big effect. So four of them came out this time. If they didn't have a lot of money, the mountain thieves would not have come to rob them. Unexpectedly, I couldn't help talking about it just now. Although my voice was lowered, I was still heard. If this is known by the mountain thief, it is equivalent to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
"Little brother, see you again." Brother Hu arched his hand, and several hunters turned around and walked quickly towards Linshan City.
Zhou Xing touched his nose and was a little embarrassed. He had not been with people in the world for more than a year, but he actually forgot all the mountain thieves. In the world, the most taboo thing is that money is exposed, especially in this kind of mountain road. Shrugging his shoulders, Zhou Xing continued to follow several people.
Not long after, the hunters stopped again, turned around and looked at Zhou Xing with a bad face.
"Kid, you are still following us. What's your intention?" Brother Hu raised his thick eyebrows and said angrily.
Zhou Xing was stunned and said in surprise, "Brother, I don't want to follow you. The road to the city ahead is the closest."
Hearing the words, Brother Hu was stared and immediately arched his hand, "That's my fault." The rest of the people also smiled apologetically.
Zhou Xing sighed in his heart that the people in the mountains were much more simple.
Later, several hunters seemed to no longer doubt Zhou Xing, and included him in the team and continued to move forward together. Their footsteps are light and powerful, much stronger than ordinary people, but compared with Zhou Xing, it is naturally far worse. Zhou Xing doesn't even use Zhenyuan. He can easily keep up with it by relying only the strength of his body.
"Little brother, listen to your accent, you are not a local, are you?" The female hunter walked next to Zhou Xing and smiled.
"Sister is right. I've been here because of some accidents, and now I'm planning to go home." Zhou Xing said with a smile.
"Kid, I'm not saying that you walk alone in this mountain, but it's dangerous. If you meet that mountain thief, even your clothes will be pulled out." A broad-faced, dark-skinned man stretched out a hand and patted next week's shoulder.
"Brother, are there many mountain thieves here?" Zhou Xing asked.
Brother Hu turned his head, looked at Zhou Xing, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "Linshan City is close to the Lianyun Mountains. This mountain range is endless, and there are many rare things. There are often those rich masters coming to the mountain city, so there are also many mountain thieves. It is said that there is a nest of mountain thieves around here, and they often come out to steal.
Zhou Xing nodded and said seriously, "You have to be careful."
Brother Hu smiled and looked at Zhou Xing's feet. He didn't say more, and a trace of light flashed in his eyes.
Walking to a mountain concave area, Zhou Xing's heart moved and looked forward. Except for a road to the city, the rest was densely forested. However, Zhou Xing felt that there seemed to be some people hiding there. He looked at several hunters, but they were unaware of them.
"Is it a mountain thief?" Zhou Xing secretly said, after thinking about it, he still decided not to tell these hunters, so as not to be found by the mountain thieves.
"Everyone cheered up. I heard that there are often robbers in this area." Brother Hu reminded everyone.
Hearing what Brother Hu said, several people took out the tools they carried with them and took them in their hands and became cautious. Zhou Xingxin said, "Brother Hu's heart is really careful."
In a short time, several people had walked hundreds of meters. Zhou Xing had clearly felt the breathing of more than a dozen people, and his face could not help but change slightly. Hu Ge and others obviously knew nothing, but they still carefully observed the surroundings.
At this time, in the dense forest in front of them, a strong man with a scar on his face came out. With an axe in his hand, he stood directly in the road and shouted to several people, "Friends, leave the valuables."
Mountain thief!
Several hunters were shocked, and then looked at Brother Hu, looking like he was the leader.
Brother Hu's face darkened and whispered, "Don't panic, he only has one person." After saying that, he shouted to the scar man, "Brother, we are just hunting. There is nothing valuable. Please give me a way."
"Stop talking nonsense! Keep money or life, you can choose!" The scar big man raised his eyebrows and said harshly.
"Brother, I'm kind to say it. Please give me a face. I'll see you with a funny face next day. Otherwise, we are not muddy. Brother Hu said coldly.
The scar man smiled instead of being angry: "Haha, you also want to ask for face from my wild wolf. What a joke." With that, he whistled and shouted, "Brothers, let's do it!"
brush, brush, brush...
"There is fat! Haha"
"There is another woman, but it's a pity that she is not feminine at all."
More than a dozen people jumped out of the forest, and everyone held a sharp weapon in their hands, laughing constantly.
The scar man shouted, "I'll give you ten breaths to think about whether you want to leave something or to leave things with your life!"
"Brother Hu, what should we do?" A hunter showed a trace of fear, and the iron in his hand trembled a little.
"Brother Hu, you can't give that thing to them!" Although the female hunter also had a look of fear in her eyes, she said so.
"Brother Tiger, fight! It's a big deal. I don't want to be a coward. The remaining hunters clenched their fists and roared angrily.
Zhou Xing listened to several people's words and looked at the group of mountain thieves. It was relatively calm. Before the practice, what he heard most was that mountain thieves killed people, mountain robbed things and so on. Mountain thieves almost became a nightmare in the hearts of ordinary people. Even with Zhou Xing's current strength, there is a trace of worry when he first senses that the mountain thieves have come out. In fact, they are just ordinary people without three heads and six arms. That kind of fear and worry disappears in an instant.
Brother Hu took a shotgun and hesitated. Then he looked at Zhou Xing and whispered, "Little brother, can you help us keep that thing? When we stop this group of mountain thieves, you can run away quickly and exchange it in the city for some money. You can take half of it yourself. If you want, send the rest to us. Go back to the village, okay?"
Hearing what he said, Zhou Xing couldn't help but be stunned. The hunters were also stunned, but then they nodded one after another. Even the most feared hunters gritted their teeth and no longer showed timidity.
At this time, the scar man shouted loudly, "There are still five breaths. You can think about it. If you can earn more money, there is only one life!"
"This group of bastards!" One person spit in a low voice.
