Chapter 124 Bandits (Part )
Chapter 124 Bandits (Part )
After a while, the young man who had spoken for Ye Zirou stood up and took the food gratefully. Seeing this, others also came forward to receive their food.
"Thank you, lady!" the bandit leader said loudly.
Ye Zirou smiled and nodded.
Ye Zirou turned her head and looked at the young man who had just spoken up for them. He looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old.
But the vicissitudes revealed in his eyes were as if he had experienced many difficult things that he should not have experienced at this age, and he looked much older than his actual age.
Ye Zirou asked curiously, "Hey, young man, what's your name?"
The young man ate the food handed to him by Ye Zirou in big mouthfuls and looked around, as if the person in front of him was calling him.
"Are you calling me?"
Ye Zirou nodded and teased him.
"Well, are there other guys here? They're all uncles, right?!"
When the bandits heard this, they wanted to refute something, but when they looked at the people around them, it seemed that what she said was not wrong.
The young man was the youngest among them, but he still cursed in his heart: "You said it, but you also cursed us."
The young man couldn't help but be amused by Ye Zirou, and mumbled incoherently, "Fang Xing, my name is Zheng Fang Xing."
"Square?" When Ye Zirou heard this special name, she wondered for a moment if there was something wrong with her ears and she had heard it wrong.
Hearing Ye Zirou's question, he said proudly.
"Yes, what's the problem? My parents once told me that one should be upright and honest in life, and have a clear goal when doing things, and not mess around."
After Zheng Fangxing said this, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face. He couldn't help but secretly glance at the people around him, then lowered his head like a frost-bitten eggplant.
Just because he had become a bandit without knowing why, he undoubtedly failed to live up to his parents' high expectations and careful teachings of him.
"No... no problem." Ye Zirou found it funny in her heart, but she still tried hard to hold it back, trying not to laugh out loud.
After a while, she continued to ask: "What about your parents?"
When Zheng Fangxing heard this, his already unhappy expression instantly became even sadder and more lost, and his expression was as if his heart was being tightly tugged at.
"They are no longer alive." His voice was low and hoarse, as if he was trying hard to suppress the pain in his heart.
Yes, his parents had unfortunately died a long time ago in this chaotic and turbulent world. The continuous wars mercilessly destroyed their once warm home.
"Sorry!" Seeing him like this, Ye Zirou couldn't help but feel sympathy in her heart, and her face was full of guilt.
Zheng Fangxing bit his lip, smiled and said with a fake smile: "It's okay, it's all over."
Ye Zirou had no intention of stopping the questioning and continued, "Are you the only one still alive in your family? Where are the others?"
"I'm just barely surviving on my own, and now I'm following the boss to make a living." There was a hint of helplessness and confusion in Zheng Fangxing's voice.
At this moment, the bandit leader nearby patted Zheng Fangxing on the back gently, his eyes full of concern, as if he was silently comforting him and telling him not to be too sad.
You know, Zheng Fangxing is the youngest in their bandit group.
Back then, it was the bandit leader who found him dying among a pile of dead bodies and rescued him.
Because of this, the bandit leader has always been particularly fond of and caring for this child.
If there is something delicious, he must be given it first; if there is new clothes, he must be given it first.
Anyway, every time they went out to rob, Zheng Fangxing would always get a share of the loot.
After all, he is still young and is in a critical stage of growth, so no matter what good things there are, everyone will think of him first.
Ye Zirou glanced at each of them and found that everyone's face was covered with a layer of sadness.
Ye Zirou cleared her throat and said loudly to the bandits, "I don't care who you were before, or what bad things you have done.
But as long as you follow me from now on and stop doing those evil things that are stealing and harming the world.
Stop taking the wrong path, behave yourself, and I promise you that you will never have to worry about your daily meals, food, shelter, and other livelihood issues again."
After hearing her words, the bandits looked at each other, wondering: Why should they trust an exiled person? And a woman, what ability could she have to lead them?
Zheng Fangxing raised his head and looked at Ye Zirou, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Really? Can we really live without going hungry?"
Ye Zirou nodded vigorously, "Of course, as long as you are willing to mend your ways."
For some reason, Zheng Fangxing looked at Ye Zirou in front of him and had complete faith in her. He felt that the person in front of him seemed to have some magical power.
Finally, Zheng Fangxing and the bandit leader looked at each other, then stood up at the same time and said in unison:
"I, Zheng Fangxing, am willing to follow the heroine."
"I, Jiang Yuze, am willing to follow the heroine."
When they both said this, their eyes were firm and sincere.
The reason why they agreed so readily was actually because they had their own considerations.
Although they were bandits, they always yearned for a normal life in their hearts and wanted to escape from this dayless and fearful life.
It’s just that this cruel world has never given them a chance to reform.
Now that there is someone who is willing to lead them onto the right path, they are very happy.
When the bandits heard what their leader and the beloved little guy in the team said, they were all stunned.
They stared with wide eyes, looking at the scene in disbelief. After a long while, some people finally reacted and started talking about it.
Jiang Yuze stared at everyone, his voice low and firm.
"What are you still thinking about? Didn't you understand what I just said to you? Do you want to be a bandit for the rest of your life? Do you want to be a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to kill?"
Ye Zirou's voice was like a biting cold wind, pressing straight into everyone.
"I don't force all of you to follow me. You can choose to leave on your own. But if I find anyone doing something wrong, I will definitely not show mercy. After all, I have already given you the chance."
They hesitated for a long time, looking at each other, and finally stood up and shouted in unison: "We are willing too!" The sound was deafening and echoed throughout the valley.
Ye Zirou looked at the bandits fiercely and warned them loudly, "Since you have decided to follow me, you must strictly abide by my rules.
If anyone dares to disobey me and do those shameful things behind my back, don't blame me for being rude! I will keep my word and will not tolerate it! What I want is absolute loyalty!"
For some reason, they felt a sense of awe when they looked at Ye Zirou like this.
Everyone nodded.
