Chapter 2 Carrots and Sticks

When the group entered the night, they had left the Fengxiang world and came to a hunch on the side of the mountain. Seeing that it was dark, the leader Xiao Tianjian raised his hand and stopped his men and ordered, "Let's rest here tonight and talk about where to go tomorrow!"

After listening to this group of people who were already tired to death, they immediately lay on the ground on all fours and eight forks, and the black-faced man walked to Xiao Tian's fitness, reached out to take over the rein, pulled the horse to a place where there was still a little grass, and tied the rein loosely on a dead tree that had been skinned. Let the horse bow its head and eat a small amount of green grass on the ground.

At this time, another short young man came to Tietou. After looking at the horse, he said to Tietou, "Brother Tietou, this horse is exhausted by the dead man today. If you don't give it some refined material, it will be useless!" You have to give it some refined food!"

"Dir Jin, feed the beans we left to the horses!" Tietou, who had been silent, looked at the young man first, and then at the war horse. After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head and said to a middle-aged man in the crowd.

The middle-aged man called Jin Fuzi agreed, but first turned his head to look at Xiao Tianjian, as if he was waiting for Xiao Tianjian to speak.

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian nodded to Master Jin and said, "Just follow the words of the iron head!" Take out some soybeans and give them to the horse!"

After Xiao Tianjian's reply, Jin Fuzi quickly took some beans from a cloth bag he carried with him and sent them to the iron head. The iron head took the soybeans and fed them to the hungry war horse. The war horse ate the beans with only one bite, and stretched out his head to look for them on the iron head. He wanted to Let's see if there are any beans. Tietou saw that the war horse was very hungry, so he continued to say to Jinfuzi, "Take two more handfuls. This little is not enough for this beast to eat!"

Mr. Jin quickly turned back and took some soybeans and gave them to the iron head. Then he sat down and took out some black and thick cakes from the coat and gave them to these people. Of course, he couldn't carry so many things himself, and two thin teenagers shared these things for him.

Everyone looked at the big beans being eaten by the horse. Someone swallowed a mouthful of foam and shook their heads slightly. It seemed to be a pity that the good things in their hearts were ruined by the beasts! People still don't have enough to eat, but they have to feed this beast. Obviously, everyone doesn't understand, but no one dares to object.

Xiao Tianjian looked at these people around him, and there was a slight disdainful sneer on the corners of his mouth: "Don't take pity for this little bean. This horse will be of great use to us in the future!" Feng Gouzi, you have also covered the money you got today. Now you can give it to me!"

A thin man with a black mole on his mouth immediately tightened after hearing this, and a panicked look flashed in his eyes, but he immediately forced a calm look and spread out his hand and smiled, "What does it mean to say? We don't have any money! Today, I searched for that official, and everyone was watching! That's right, Zhao Erlu!"

Zhao Erlu looked at Xiao Tianjian, who was staring at Feng Gouzi, doubtfully, nodded and testified, "Palm plate, today is the dead official I searched with Feng Gouzi. I didn't see what he took!"

Xiao Tianjian stood up with a sneer and strode to the thin Feng Gouzi. His height of 1.88 meters looked extremely tall in front of Feng Gouzi, who was less than 1.6 meters tall. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he carried Feng Gouzi up like a monkey. With one hand, he twisted Feng Gouzi's arm behind him. Feng Gouzi was not allowed to struggle a little, and then he reached out and groped in his arms for a while. When he took it out again, he opened the palm of his hand and saw a piece of five taels of silver.

When everyone stretched out their heads and saw the silver piece in Xiao Tianjian's hand, Feng Gouzi's face suddenly turned pale, and his lips trembled. When Xiao Tianjian let go, he immediately knelt down in front of Xiao Tianjian and kowtowed like a garlic and begged, "Give me for your life!" It's all my greed, it's all my fault. Today, when I searched for that person, I touched this piece of silver, and I became greedy and hid it! Don't drive me away! I beg for the palm of the plate!"

Xiao Tianjian took this piece of silver and weighed it in his hand. He threw it to Mr. Jin and said to these people, "When I accepted you, I told you that I would not treat you badly, and I would never allow anyone to hide anything behind my back!"

The things we grab belong to big guys. No one can just care about themselves and everyone! But you Feng Gouzi still did this today!

Today, I won't talk about how to deal with you. Let the big guy talk about how to deal with you!" After saying that, Xiao Tianjian glanced at the men around him.

After listening to this, Zhao Er donkey stood up and kicked the Feng dog and cursed, "Okay! Feng Gouzi! It's true that you hid something in private today and asked me to protect you. Do you want to hurt me? Palm plate, I think I'll just take this one away and pull him down. I don't care about his life or death! This person used to be a thief, and it's also a disaster to keep him!"

Even if Feng Gouzi was scared to pee, he knew better than anyone else in this world that if he was driven away at this time, he would not go far alone. He would either be killed and eat meat, or starved to death. Fortunately, Xiao Tianjian took him in at the beginning. Otherwise, he would have starved to death by now, so The frightened Feng Gouzi rushed to Xiao Tianjian with snot and tears and cried.

"Palm plate! It's all my fault. It's my cheap hand. Damn it. Please forgive me this time! I won't dare to do it again! Damn it, it's me, brothers, we have been together for so long, please don't let me go away! Please, my grandfathers, for the face of our fellow villagers, please spare me this time! I will never dare to do it again!" Feng Gouzi cried and begged everyone while pumping his mouth hard.

There was a trace of unbearance in everyone's eyes. A short and strong man came over. First, he kicked Feng Gouzi with his foot and spit on his face. Then he carefully came over and persuaded Xiao Tianjian with a smiling face: "Palm plate! This is wrong with this man. It's not too much to drive him away, but we are just like this now. In my opinion, it's okay to whip him a few times. After all, this man is also a first offender. Teach him a lesson. As long as he doesn't make mistakes in the future, it's okay. If he dares to make mistakes in the future, it's not too late to kick him away! Everyone said, didn't you?"

As the man's voice fell, two or three more people echoed.

When Xiao Tianjian saw someone standing up to plead for Feng Gouzi, he turned his head and stared at Feng Gouzi and said, "I hate greed most in my life. The reason why the world has come to such a point is because of the corruption of officials, but when you see this little money, you become greedy. If someone buys you with money, you Will you sell our brother?

Feng Gouzi, who was scared, quickly kowtowed and shouted, "The little one doesn't dare, the little one doesn't dare!" The palm plate has the grace of life for us. How dare the little one do such an ungrateful thing! This small mistake, I will never dare to make it again! If I do it again, I will chop my paws directly on the palm plate, which will make me die!"

Xiao Tianjian felt regretful when he saw Feng Gouzi, so he nodded slightly and said, "In this case, I can not drive you away this time, but the crime of death can be avoided, and it is difficult to live. Zhao Erlu, take a donkey and whip him ten whips to let him remember today's matter. In the future, if anyone dares to hide what I have captured, I will die. I won't be polite anymore!"

Zhao Er donkey agreed and invited the whip. When he swung it up, he beat Feng Gouzi. The whip made a swish sound in the air and made a crackling sound on the skin. Feng Gouzi couldn't help humming, but he still thanked Xiao Tianjian. Zhao Erdonkey was afraid that Xiao Tianjian said he was in love, so he did not dare to hold his hand. He didn't dare to be too light. He quickly finished the ten whips. Looking at the ragged clothes on Feng Gouzi's back, they were even more tattered, revealing the chattering ribs, and several whip marks were left on his back.

Everyone shuddered. They stood around and didn't dare to make a sound. They now know more about the temper of the palm plate in front of them. They are definitely a decisive figure, so they secretly warned themselves, but don't touch his taboos like this Feng Gouzi, otherwise, Bao It can't be worse than Feng Gouzi!

Xiao Tianjian waved to one of his men and shouted, "Yang Mantun, find some herbs!"

The greeted Yang Mantun rabbit ran around. With the help of the moonlight, he quickly found a handful of herbs by the forest and gave it to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian took the herbs and walked to Feng Gouzi, who was trembling all over. He squatted down. Feng Gouzi was so scared that he shrank his neck and wanted to avoid it, but he was a little afraid.

Xiao Tianjian stared at him and said, "Don't move, it's over!" Since I didn't drive you away, you are still my brother! Don't move!"

After saying that, he first poured water from the bamboo tube on Feng Ergou's wound and cleaned his whip. Then he put the herbs in his mouth and chewed it. The bitter grass juice frowned bitterly, but he still insisted on stuffing the herbs into his mouth and chewing them all.

"Puff!" With a sound, Xiao Tianjian spit the herbs in his hand, and then smeared them on the whip marks on Feng Gouzi's back little by little.

Feng Gouzi immediately felt a cool feeling coming from the wound on his back. The hot pain was slightly relieved. Feng Gouzi was suddenly moved. Since he escaped from the village, in addition to relying on the thief, he survived all the way. He was either despised or chased all day long. No one treats him as a human being. Today, he has an old problem again. He hid money under his itch and was whipped like this! To be honest, he did be a little resentful of this big man Li just now, but he didn't expect Xiao Tianjian to finish beating him and heal him in person, which made him regain the feeling of being a man and feel the coolness on his back. Feng Gouzi's heart was mixed, and he suddenly had a sense of regret for his behavior and felt that I was so ashamed of myself. This feeling had not passed for a long time. Suddenly, Feng Gouzi couldn't help crying and suddenly lay on the ground and cried.

"Well, old man, isn't it just a few whips? Don't cry like a bitch! Let's go to bed, too! According to my original arrangement, take turns to be on duty. If anyone falls asleep when he is on duty, he will be careful!" Xiao Tianjian clapped his hands and rubbed off the remaining herbs in his hand. After that, he asked Jin Fuzi to bring a dress he got today and put it on Feng Gouzi's body.

Everyone answered and found a place to lie down around one after another, leaving Feng Gouzi to choke alone. One person consciously sat at the Linyuan sentry post to prevent someone from breaking into their camp. At the same time, he also guarded against dragging one or two people away when the wild wolf in the mountain dragged them to sleep in the middle of the night!

After the iron head took good care of the war horse, he also applied some herbs to the wound on the leg of the war horse, and wrapped the war horse's injured leg with a cloth. Then a bamboo tube full of water was sent to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian rinsed his mouth and finally eased the bitter taste of the herbal medicine. He nodded to the iron head, leaned against a tree, and closed his eyes.

The bitter smell in his mouth made Xiao Tianjian very uncomfortable, and it was very cold at night. Their clothes were ragged. Even if they lay down, he was still not sleepy at all. The reason why he wanted to rectify this Feng Gouzi today was to stand in front of everyone and let everyone know that his instructions were inviolable. It's impossible to deal with these rough guys and want them to be obedient and obedient without any means, but things can't be done. After all, he is such a few subordinates at the time. The blind pressure is likely to backfire and play the opposite effect. So today he strokes Feng Gouzi, which is the strategy of carrots and sticks. These people know that he treats them as brothers, and at present, the effect is quite good.
