After several days of trekking, Liu Chang and the others arrived near Baiyangdian.

Looking at this water pond with a map of the future, Liu Chang was also murmuring in his heart, wondering if this map was accurate.

Liu Chang said to Xin Zhao: "Let's find a place to settle down here first, and then go and recruit some people. How can two people gather in the mountains and forests? There must be at least a dozen people."

A few people found a place to settle down and set up a tent. They stayed here for a few days. During this period, Liu Chang also brought several bags of rice noodles, a barrel of cooking oil, and some meat.

During this period, Liu Chang went to nearby places several times to inquire about the news.

One day after that, he suddenly saw Yang Xu on the road. He was taking a young man with him, and behind him were three young men in ragged clothes. Liu Chang wanted to say hello to him, but he thought that he might be wanted.

.then quietly followed them.

At noon, when several people were looking for a place to rest, Liu Chang saw Yang Xu walking towards a deserted place, so he followed him.

Liu Chang asked softly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Taoist Master Yang. How are you doing lately?"

Yang Xu seemed to be startled. He turned around and saw that it was Liu Chang and said, "I heard that you have done great things recently. I thought you had escaped from Jizhou."

"I'm just a landowner in the county. He can't stretch his hands so far. He can just look for me near Liwu County."

"That's true. I heard that Huang Gong has searched the area all over the past few days and couldn't find you."

"Does Taoist Yang want to take people to preach elsewhere?"

"Hey, the people following me are all people who have sold their fields and can't survive. These are the people who really can't survive in Liwu County. They are going to follow me to seek a way to survive."

"There are people everywhere who can't survive these days. Daoist Master Yang is willing to follow me to do something. Although I don't have much of my own, I can at least help everyone make a living."

"The strong men do great things, but we may not be able to do them."

"The world is in chaos. Those landlords grew up eating flesh and blood. If we don't fight, there will really be no way to survive."

Liu Chang went on to say: "You can help these people now, but what should you do with the people you meet in the future? The Taoist priest also comes from a poor background. What big thing is the great sage Bao Buqi preparing for?"

"If it is true as the strong man said, then I have to obey the order of the great wise master. You wait here for a while, and I will ask those people if they are willing to go with you. I will not disclose your whereabouts to outsiders."

When Liu Chang heard this rejection, he did not persist: "Okay, then I will wait here for news from the Taoist Priest."

Liu Chang waited here for more than ten minutes and then saw Yang Xu coming to him with three young people.

"They are willing to follow you and find a way to survive with you."

Liu Chang looked at these three young people and said: "Since the three of you are willing to come with me, then let's go and win a fortune."

When the three of them heard what Liu Chang said, they immediately gave Liu Chang a big salute. Then they replied: "I am willing to follow the young master to give him a try."

Liu Chang said to Yang Xu again: "Taoist priest, take care. If one day the Taoist priest comes to my place of use, just come to me. I am obligated to do so."

Yang Xu also said: "Strong men, take care."

The few people separated here, and Liu Chang took the three of them back to his temporary camp.

When Zhao Xin saw Liu Chang coming back with three people, he asked, "Master, who are these?"

Liu Chang replied: "I met Taoist Yang on the road. They all followed Taoist Yang to seek survival. Later, after persuasion, they were ready to do something with us."

Liu Chang called everyone together and said: "Come, let me introduce you to everyone."

Pointing at Xin Zhao, he said to the three of them: "This is Xin Zhao."

Then he said to Zhao Xin: "This is Zhang Cai, and this is Zhang Feng. The two of them are brothers. The last one is Wang Ye."

"We will be brothers from now on. Let's set up the pot first and let us eat before we think about what to do next."

Several people cooked white rice and stewed meat. The three of them had never eaten these before. After eating the same meal, the three of them made up their minds to follow Liu Chang and do a good job.

After everyone had eaten, Liu Chang said to the four of them: "We can't stay here all the time. We have to go out and do something."

Wang Ye said enthusiastically: "Landlords and wealthy people have been collecting food and debts from everywhere recently. Let's go rob them. I know that Huang Ji will send someone to collect rent near our village in a few days. It was you who kidnapped him before.

The person who is my son."

Liu Chang asked: "I kidnapped his son a few days ago. Shouldn't he be looking for his son all over the world now?"

Wang Ye replied matter-of-factly: "If we want to find the son, we have to collect the land rent. He has sent out all the people to look for the son, so there are fewer people to collect rent. We are just in time to take action."

Liu Chang felt that although he was not short of food, he couldn't hide in the reed lake with just a few people. He had to go out and do something, make a name for himself and recruit some people.

So Liu Chang said: "Okay, let's wait and rob Huang Ji when he sends people to your village to collect rent. How many people do they usually have when they go to collect rent?"

"Usually there are about six or seven people, but there are usually about two people who take the guy, and the rest are people who move things. You have a reputation for being evil, so just scare you and run away."

"How long does it take to get to your village from here?"

"It takes three or four days, and the road is not easy to walk."

Liu Chang pointed at Mr. Huang and said, "We can't all go. We have to leave someone to look after this guy."

Liu Chang thought for a moment and said: "Zhao Xin, you stay and watch him while I go out with these three brothers."

Although Xin Zhao was hesitant to speak, he still agreed. So they made plans and prepared to find a place to rest.

Wang Ye walked up to Mr. Huang, kicked him with his feet, and laughed wildly.

He seemed to be venting and said: "I used to be very afraid of you, but now I know that young men like you are also afraid of us."

After saying this, he was ready to kick him a few more times.

Liu Chang saw him venting his emotions and said: "It's enough to kick him a few times, but I still need to rely on him to exchange for something. Don't break it."

Wang Ye stopped when he heard Liu Chang stop him.

Then, Wang Ye said excitedly: "Brother Liu, I have lived for twenty years and suffered for twenty years. Only today do I know what a good life is."

Liu Chang smiled and said: "Hey, there will be better days in the future."

After hearing this answer, Wang Ye said happily: "If there can be a better life than this, then I won't be afraid of death."

Wang Ye took Liu Chang and told Liu Chang many of the hardships he had suffered.
