Chapter 25

The monkey automatically filtered out the girl's big belly: "Thought about it. But it was really badly injured at the time, and it took half a year to recover from the injury. Thanks to the villagers for taking care of it. Later, when the grain was ripe in the field, I saw the bandit soldiers with my own eyes. Looting is indeed a bit outrageous, the soldiers here are no different from the bandits, basically they will come to grab the food every time it is cooked."

Niu Youdao could understand his mood, knowing that the monkey was from a special military force before, and he had some kind of complex in him. And if I hadn't unintentionally helped Monkey's widowed old lady to see a doctor and die, I'm afraid that with Monkey's ability, he wouldn't have defected to someone like himself. After all, he is a person of another way. After that, a brotherhood gradually formed.

"Later, I thought that I might not be able to find you if I went outside. I guessed that you would return to this village sooner or later. As you said, you would return the favor, so I decided to wait for you here. And I also want to return the favor in the village. In order to prevent them from being robbed repeatedly, I stayed and trained the villagers. Also, my health is not very good. I also took advantage of these years to exercise my body. Baoli doesn’t even know how he died when something happens.”

Niu Youdao nodded. Both of them understood each other. It seemed that it was inevitable for them to meet again.

"What about you?" Hou Zi gave his chin to Shang Chaozong and others, "What's the situation? I came here with you, and it doesn't seem very friendly to you."

"Heh!" Niu Youdao looked back, only to think of letting those people hang out, and patted the monkey on the back, "Come on, let me introduce you."

Brought the monkey over, Niu Youdao introduced Shang Chaozong and others, and then introduced the monkey, "This is my good brother, called..." Scratching his head, he turned around and asked the monkey, "What's your name?" Just now Forgot to ask what his name is now.

The jaws of Lan Ruoting and the others almost dropped, hello brother, don't you know your name? Your friendship is obviously extraordinary, is there anyone who opens their eyes and talks nonsense like this? This person from the Shangqing sect is a bit out of character!

Monkey glanced at everyone calmly, "Yuan Gang!"

"Oh! Yes, Yuan Gang, you have been away from the village for too long, and you have forgotten your name." Niu Youdao turned around and smiled awkwardly at the crowd, "I don't have a very good memory."

Believe it or not, but everyone is looking at Yuan Gang carefully, subconsciously noticing the dagger tied to his forearm and thigh. Yuan Gang looks like a villager in a mountain den, but his temperament is obviously different. The taste of not taking them seriously is obvious in the eyes.

It's no wonder that ordinary mountain villagers trembled when they saw their lineup. How could they be so calm? Lord! Don't you know what a prince is? Shang Chaozong and the others looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could it be that everyone from this village is so virtuous?

Thinking of this, they became a little curious, and really wanted to see what kind of village this was.

"Tell your people not to move around, or don't blame me for being rude!" Yuan Gang stared at Shang Chaozong and gave a cold warning.

The guards around Shang Chaozong suddenly felt angry, but Shang Chaozong stretched out his hand to stop him.

Yuan Gang gave the guard a contemptuous look, turned around, dug two fingers into his mouth, and whistled loudly.

Immediately there was movement in the nearby forest, and five or six young men ran out one after another, approaching here with a vigilant look, obviously a little afraid of the officers and soldiers.

Lan Ruoting and the others looked at each other again, thinking that this reaction was like that of a villager.

"Brother Gangzi, what is this?" the leading young man tried to ask.

Yuan Gang pointed at Niu Youdao: "Big stick, go back and tell the village that Niu Youdao is back, I won't go back, I'm going to go with him, and you will follow what I said in the future, and there shouldn't be any What's the problem?" Without asking for Niu Youdao's opinion, he directly made a decision for Niu Youdao and did not return to the village!

Niu Youdao nodded slightly and smiled at the few people. He understood what Yuan Gang meant, and he didn't want outsiders to run into the village to find out the bottom of the village. As for going with him, that's what he should do.

"Niu Youdao?" Da Bang was stunned for a moment, staring at Niu Youdao up and down, suddenly surprised and said: "Ah! Brother Dao, it's really you, you have become rich, Brother Gangzi didn't mention it, I don’t even recognize you. Brother Dao, I’m a big stick, I used to play with your backside with a big stick!”

"And me, my fierce son!"

"Brother Dao, my puppy..."

"My big bowl, Brother Dao, where have you been all these years? At that time you disappeared, and the village was looking for you everywhere. Later, some people came to the village to inquire about you, and some people saw you in the city..."

Several lads gathered around, scrambling to be the first to yell, looking overjoyed.

Someone came to the village to inquire? Has anyone else in the village seen me in the city? Niu Youdao was stunned for a moment, then guessed something, laughed out loud, and stretched out his hand to point at all the young people who came together, "Big stick, Mengzi, little dog..." Anyway, they introduced themselves by their names. Counted them all, "I remember, Dawan was almost drowned when I went fishing in the river with me..." Anyway, he didn't know any of them, so he just talked nonsense about what the boy in the mountain village reckoned he might do.

The corner of Yuan Gang's mouth twitched, and he realized that Daoist is still the same Daoist!

Dawan nodded cheerfully: "Yes, yes!" But he was wondering in his heart, it seems that the fish has been touched, did he almost drown?

"Brother Dao, don't you want to visit the village when you come back? Brother Gangzi said you are leaving, where are you going?" Da Bang asked curiously, not realizing what Yuan Gang meant by leaving. In my impression, people in this village can't go very far.

Yuan Gang: "Go and see the outside world, don't ask so many questions."

It can be seen that Yuan Gang still has a lot of prestige among a group of young people. When he said this, everyone stopped asking.

Dabang scratched his head and said, "Brother Gangzi, take us out to have a look together."

"It's chaotic outside, it's better to stay in the village and live well than anything else, and we'll talk about the rest later depending on the situation." Yuan Gang threw a sentence, then turned around and asked Niu Youdao, "Are you rich?"

Niu Youdao raised his chin towards his horse, "Baoli is about to send it to the village."

Yuan Gang went to reach into the package to stir it, pulled out a money bag, shook his hands and clattered. Walking back and opening the money bag, I saw a pile of money, silver coins, and copper coins. The gold and silver were all in the shape of cast copper coins. Most of the money was golden and dazzling.

"Wow!" The boys had never seen so much money, and they gathered around together, wanting to reach out and touch it, as if their eyes were open to money.

Yuan Gang pulled the rope around the purse, tied it tightly, and threw it to the big stick, reminding: "The money is handed over to a few old people in the village for collective safekeeping, and I told them that although there is a lot of money, don't take it out to buy things randomly." , there is a lot of chaos outside, revealing wealth can easily bring trouble to the village, only things that are urgently needed or must be bought can be used, remember?"

Hearing this, the three of Lan Ruoting looked at each other again, and they looked at Yuan Gang with more interest.

Niu Youdao also nodded and said: "Well, if you spend it indiscriminately, don't blame me for asking the village to pay back the money. My money is also hard earned. It is for solving problems, not for others."

The young men nodded repeatedly, patted their chests with their sticks and said, "Don't worry, Brother Dao, we know that earning money is not easy, it's kind of you to give so much money to the village, you can't spend it recklessly, you will make it clear when you go back. "

Niu Youdao hehe said: "That's good."

Yuan Gang waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's all go back."

His words were quite effective, and the young men followed his advice, waving their hands three times at each step, "Brother Gangzi, Brother Dao, we're going back first, you guys go back early!"

Niu Youdao smiled and waved his hands, Yuan Gang stood still and watched him off.

When the person disappeared, Yuan Gang turned around and said to Niu Youdao, "Let's go!"

Lan Ruoting, who was sitting on horseback, smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, can you ride a horse?"

Niu Youdao turned his head and said cheerfully: "Don't talk about riding a horse, he can fly a plane and a tank."

"Airplane? Tank?"

Lan Ruoting, Shang Chaozong, and Shang Shuqing spoke in unison, dumbfounded together, looking super dazed, the three of you looked at me, I looked at you, thinking that I had heard it wrong, but seeing the other people's dumbfounded expressions, I knew I heard it right .

"What are airplanes and tanks?" Shang Shuqing asked.

Yuan Gang looked cold and did not respond.

Niu Youdao also realized that he had slipped his tongue, he laughed and said: "You don't like country things, so don't worry about it."

"It's because we're ignorant and ignorant." Shang Shuqing said regretfully, seeing that she didn't want to ask more questions, she didn't ask any more questions.

Lan Ruoting gave his chin to the end of the mountain road, "Since the mage has returned to his hometown, why don't you go back and have a look?"

Yuan Gang, who didn't want to talk to them, said coldly, "Every time the officers and soldiers come, they have to go to the village to loot once. The country people don't want to see this big scene."

Several people heard the meaning of his words, Lan Ruoting and Shang Chaozong looked a little dignified, not because they were angry, but because they could fully understand this sentence, let alone the past, only this time, I have seen many such miserable situations as Yuan Gang said.

But the guards around Shang Chaozong got angry, pointed at Yuan Gang with a whip and shouted: "Bold! How can the prince..."

Yuan Gang rolled his eyes coldly, and Shang Chaozong hummed, signaling that person to shut up.

Seeing that the commotion was a bit embarrassing, Niu Youdao was busy and cheerfully smoothed things over: "The main reason is that I don't want to delay the prince's trip because of a little personal matter. It doesn't matter if I don't go or not."

Shang Chaozong turned his head and said, "Give Brother Yuan a horse!" It can be seen that from the first impression, he liked Yuan Gang more than Niu Youdao. The reason is very simple, he saw the temperament of Ying Yangwei and Wu Liewei from Yuan Gang at a glance, and they were all close to each other, but this Niu Youdao didn't say a word of truth, he didn't look like a good person.

Soon after, someone untied a mount, and Yuan Gang took the reins and turned on the horse with clean movements.

Lan Ruoting and the others obviously paid attention to it, and saw that Yuan Gang, unlike ordinary mountain villagers, had considerable experience in handling horses.

Shang Chaozong made a gesture, a group of people stopped and continued to move forward, and the rear team changed to the front team to return.
