Chapter 25: The Mute Eating Coptis Chinensis

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Jinshi bought some bamboo slips, preparing to use them for Tang Lin.

He had no tongue now and couldn't speak, so this could make it easier for him to communicate.

As for pen and ink, naturally he wouldn't buy them. Burning a branch could write, so why spend a lot of money.

Under such circumstances, these few rolls of bamboo slips were still ridiculously expensive, making Jiang Jinshi miss the paper of his previous life.

It was still finding the old man's donkey cart to help pull the goods. The old man smiled from ear to ear when he saw Jiang Jinshi, of course, still maintaining the principle of doing more and talking less.

Because the space on the donkey cart was limited, Jiang Jinshi gave the position to Li Xinyue, while he trotted on the side to exercise his body.

While running, Jiang Jinshi looked at the personal information in the system.

Host: Jiang Jinshi (A useless teenager with some strength)

Territory: None

Points: 0

Combat Power: 12 (Merging the soul of Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, currently reached the physical limit)

Population: 6

After the improvement of food these few days, the combat power had increased by 2 points, but Jiang Jinshi still despised such slow progress. He urgently needed to improve his combat power to make plans for the future.

Relying on the silver rewarded by the system, he couldn't safely get through this famine. Only by taking the initiative could he have a glimmer of survival.

And the small road from the village entrance to Jiangcheng was rarely passed by anyone, so he couldn't expect to have any harvest from robbing the road.

On the contrary, the official road from Jiangcheng to Licheng was different. It was not only the main road between the two cities, but the mountains on both sides of the road were one after another, which also led to groups of mountain bandits on that road.

In this system mission, it required him to have his own mountain stronghold. He didn't plan to build a mountain stronghold.

After all...

How could building a mountain stronghold be as fast as robbing one!

He was already a mountain bandit, so it was no problem to rob the robbers, right?

So after going home tonight, he prepared to arrange the family affairs and set off for Licheng to scout the road.

On one hand, he wanted to understand the business ability and strength level of his peers, and on the other hand, he wanted to find out Licheng's attitude towards mountain bandits.

Jiangcheng clearly held a laissez-faire attitude towards mountain bandits. As long as they didn't rob official goods, Jiangcheng wouldn't care.

When Jiang Jinshi arrived at the agreed location, Zhang Honghong and Tang Lin had been waiting here for a long time, not knowing how long.

Tang Lin was still lying on the cart, but for some reason, he was tied up with vines, staring at Zhang Honghong with red eyes, while Zhang Honghong was looking at Tang Lin angrily.

Jiang Jinshi's arrival broke the stalemate between the two. Zhang Honghong took the lead in complaining to Jiang Jinshi.

"Captain, this bastard wants to leave, this ungrateful thing, I should have let him die at the slave trader's yesterday."

Tang Lin struggled when he heard this, but he was tied too tightly by the vines, looking like a wriggling maggot.

"Woo ah! Ah woo woo!"

Jiang Jinshi tilted his ears to listen carefully to Tang Lin's random shouting, and then acted as a translator with a serious face.

"Tang Lin said he didn't."

Zhang Honghong was furious, pointing at Tang Lin and cursing.

"Still dare to quibble, this ungrateful guy, thought I was asleep last night, limping and touching his way out secretly.

If I hadn't discovered it, I don't know where he would have run to this morning!"

"Ah ah ah! Ah woo woo!"

While speaking, Tang Lin tried hard to lift his head to look under his body, even though he was tied with red marks by the vines, he was still trying to maintain this action.

Now Jiang Jinshi understood everything and continued to act as a translator.

"He said he just wanted to go to the toilet, and not only did you not let him, but you also tied him up."

Tang Lin's eyes shone, as if he had met a soulmate, nodding frequently like a chicken pecking at rice, expressing his approval of Jiang Jinshi's translation level.

Now it was Zhang Honghong's turn to scratch her head in embarrassment, and a rare bright color climbed onto her dark skin.

"Ah! This is a mess, you didn't say it, I'll untie you immediately, go to the toilet!"

Tang Lin lay on the cart with a sense of relief, looking lifeless.

"Ah ah woo woo!"

"He said no need, he already did it!"

"Woo woo woo ah!"

"It even dried!"

Jiang Jinshi pinched his nose with disgust and got up and walked away. He just said why there was such a big smell!

Two lines of clear tears slid down the corners of Tang Lin's eyes. He didn't know why he had to experience these things. If it weren't for the obsession in his heart, such a life would really not be as happy as dying.

Zhang Honghong lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes like a child who had done something wrong. It was just that her body was too large, and this scene looked awkward no matter how she looked at it.

Jiang Jinshi could not be bothered to deal with these two clowns; he took three taels of silver he had prepared in advance from his pocket to serve as living expenses and a recruitment fund for this period.

He told the two the "pyramid scheme" encyclopedia he had passed on to Luo Feng again. Seeing the clear stupidity revealed in Zhang Honghong's eyes, Jiang Jinshi knew he had said it in vain.

Anyway, the mission was issued. If they could recruit people, they would recruit them; if they couldn't, forget it. Relying on these two funny characters was not as good as relying on Luo Feng's side.

Watching Jiang Jinshi leave in a hurry, Zhang Honghong felt regretful.

The Captain gave her two tasks, recruiting people and taking care of Tang Lin.

But not only could she not recruit people, she also let Tang Lin, who was a teammate, shit in his pants.

Under such circumstances, the Captain not only didn't blame her, but even gave her three taels of silver.

This was three taels of silver!!

It was enough to buy her life.

But the Captain handed it to her so casually, she must not let the Captain down again.

Thinking of this, Zhang Honghong clenched the silver in her hand and focused her eyes on Tang Lin.

Tang Lin, who was lifeless, suddenly felt Zhang Honghong's gaze, subconsciously clamped his legs, and his eyes were full of fear.

Zhang Honghong thought for a moment, finally nodded as if she had made up her mind, and walked towards Tang Lin.

Tang Lin still had tear stains on the corners of his eyes, shaking his head constantly, praying that this devil wouldn't approach him.

Finally, Zhang Honghong untied the vines tied to Tang Lin and carried Tang Lin on her shoulder.

"I want to make up for the mistake I made, I'll take you to the river to wash you clean."

In an instant, Tang Lin's pupils dilated, his whole body struggled constantly, and he kept wailing in his mouth, hoping Jiang Jinshi would come back to save him from the sea of misery.

Zhang Honghong learned Jiang Jinshi's appearance and tilted her ears to listen, then suddenly realized.

"What are you thanking for? We're all buddies, no need to be polite."

"Ah ah ah ah~"

"I already said don't thank me, you scholars are just being blindly polite."

Jiang Jinshi, who had already walked far away, heard Tang Lin's wailing again in a trance, but thought that Zhang Honghong wasn't a bad person, and this time she would definitely take good care of Tang Lin, so he shouldn't worry about it.

After entering the village, it was naturally inevitable to be pulled by the big loudspeaker Grandma Li to ask.

"Little Ten, still using a donkey cart to pull firewood?"

"Grandma Li, isn't this because I'm afraid Xinyue is too tired!"

"Xinyue?"

"Oh! That is Li Zhaodi, now she has changed her name to Li Xinyue, this name sounds better."

Grandma Li nodded as if it were true. This person who had studied was really different, the name had to sound better. ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
