Chapter Thirteen: Master Fang wants to be in the top position
Insects chirped continuously at night. Birds and beasts flew around, making endless noises.
The fires of different sizes are like blooming petals, and like stars, illuminating the entire area.
While some people were asleep, others were naturally awake. In order to prevent the wolf from eating humans from happening again, Old Man Mu specially found some people to patrol the area.
The night watchman looked around, fearing that some wild beast might run out of the woods in the dark.
Maybe it was because people's wishes came true, or maybe it was the previous tragic situation of the wolves that warned the beasts, and there was no trouble all night.
The morning sun had not yet risen the next day, and Su Lie sat up. Looking from the side, Fang Chen also woke up.
Tiptoeing up from the ground, he nodded and said hello to Fang Chen. The two took the smoked wolf meat laid out last night from the wooden rack and cut it open with military thorns.
"Good guy!"
Su Lie liked the military spur very much. After all, this kind of cold weapon can be compared with some famous weapons just from the feeling and appearance.
Fang Chen didn't think much and said, "I'll give it to you."
Su Lie was so in love with the military assassin that he couldn't put it down. He even paid great attention to the leather holster that Fang Chen handed him later. He hung it on his waist and looked very proud.
Fang Chen, on the other hand, picked up a wooden branch and broke it into small pieces. Then he took some charcoal burned last night, broke it into small pieces, put it in his mouth, and brushed his teeth with the wooden branch.
"Young Master, what are you doing?"
Su Lie looked a little confused. After all, his big yellow teeth had never been brushed once.
Fang Chen gave him a disgusted look, "Don't wash your teeth? Don't you think they're dirty?"
Su Lie couldn't help but smile bitterly. After all, Fang Chen's many strange behaviors and habits had made him somewhat confused about the situation.
As the sun slowly rose, Su Lie stood up and walked toward the crowd.
Old Man Mu came forward and asked, "Brother Su, what are the young master's plans?"
Su Lie pulled Old Man Mu, and the two of them came to one side. After avoiding the others, they said, "What you did yesterday was unethical!"
Old Man Mu's face turned pale, "Old man, I was indeed at fault. I thought that the mother and daughter were not related to the young master..."
There was a trace of anger in Su Lie's eyes, "No matter what the relationship between the young master and the mother and daughter is, it is not something you can consider. You must know that if it were not for the young master last night, you wouldn't even be able to eat a bite of meat!"
Old Man Mu did not deny what Su Lie said, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes, "It seems that all of us can be saved. With the young master here, no one will be hungry anymore!"
Su Lie directly pulled out the military thorn that Fang Chen gave him. "Old man, do you know? Now, I don't like you very much!"
Old Man Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Brother Su, why?"
Su Lie turned around and pointed at the refugees, with a look of contempt in his eyes, "Unthankful, the young master brought them hope of living, but they don't know how to repay!"
Unilateral payment is an insult, just like what Fang Chen said before, what is it called, by the way, it is moral kidnapping!
Su Lie was not only talking about the refugees, he was also reminding Old Man Mu that just because the young master doesn't say something, it doesn't mean you don't have to do it.
Old Man Mu nodded to indicate that he understood. After taking a second look at the military thorn in Su Lie's hand, he turned around and walked towards Fang Chen.
Su Lie put away the military thorn. If Old Man Mu still hadn't reacted just now, the military thorn would directly pierce Old Mu's chest.
His body was hunched, and there was a trace of tears in his eyes.
This time, he owed Su Lie a great favor. If Su Lie hadn't reminded him, he would have missed an opportunity to let everyone present live.
"Old man, I am always old and not as good as young people, alas..."
Although I have good intentions, this kind of thing cannot be changed just by saying a few words.
Under the watchful eyes of all the refugees, Old Man Mu came step by step to Fang Chen.
"Old man, thank you for your kindness, young master!"
He knelt down on his knees and made a muffled sound when his forehead hit the ground.
Immediately afterwards, all the refugees knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "Young Master, I'm so kind!"
Originally, Fang Chen had already made a plan in his mind again and again. If these people didn't show any signs, he would choose to give up. Anyway, there were more refugees behind him, and he would meet many of them every day. He would find a few obedient partners.
It's not a difficult thing for him.
"Get up!"
Fang Chen looked around, with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.
There is no bastard spirit, and it is impossible for the tiger's body to tremble, but Fang Chen is kind to them all, and logically speaking, this should be the case!
Old Man Mu stood up from the ground in an orderly manner, hunched over, as if he was letting Fang Chen lose his temper.
Fang Chen took two steps forward and waved to everyone.
"I don't care what you are thinking, and I don't ask you what you have! From now on, I have the final say here!"
The young tiger Xiao Shanlin was only eight years old, but Fang Chen made the hundreds of refugees present choose to surrender.
Since I gave you a bite to eat, then you must act according to my rules. This is what Fang Chen is thinking now!
Su Lie crossed his arms and raised the corners of his mouth slightly inadvertently.
"Old man Mu, from today on, you can rest!"
Old Man Mu nodded, and then called over a few people who had some authority among the refugees, asking them to listen to Fang Chen's instructions, while he stepped aside, acting like an old man, neither asking too many questions nor taking too much care.
"Tell me your names!"
Fang Chen looked at the four people and asked.
The four of them trembled at the same time, "Mu Cheng!" "Mu Xin!" "Zhang Liuzi!" "Han Bing!"
Mu Cheng and Mu Xin were somewhat related to the old man Mu, and they seemed to belong to the same Zhuangzi. As the name suggests, Zhang Liuzi was the sixth eldest son in the family. Han Bing was a little special, having attended a private school for a year and read some books.
"Han Bing, let's count how many of us there are now!" Fang Chen started giving orders directly. At this stage, no one would think there was anything wrong with his order.
"Yes!" Han Bing nodded and left, while the other three made other arrangements.
"Zhang Liuzi, let me ask you, where is the nearest river to us?"
Zhang Liuzi bowed and said: "My dear young master, we are still two hundred miles away from Chang'an, and the nearest river to us is the Wei River in the Eight Rivers of Chang'an!"
"Weishui?" Fang Chen continued to ask: "How far is it from us?"
Zhang Liuzi said with a smile: "We can see it in one more day's walk at most!"
"Mu Cheng! Mu Xin!"
Mu Cheng and Mu Xin said at the same time, "Young Master, please speak!"
"After the Korean soldiers have counted the number of people, you two will be responsible for arranging for all the refugees to get on the road as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
Everything was arranged properly, and Han Bing finished the statistics in less than half a stick of incense.
"Young Master, there are eight hundred and sixty-three of us in total!"
"Su Lie!"
Hearing that there was something of his own to do, Su Lie hurriedly approached.
Fang Chen pointed to the rear and said: "Find a few people to protect the rear. If there are bandits or wild beasts accompanying them, just blast them away. If that doesn't work, send someone to call me!"
Su Lie nodded in agreement.
Chapter completed!
