The local customs were even more simplistic than Du Chengfeng had imagined.
When Du Chengfeng led this group of a hundred or so bandits toward the earth-rammed city walls, the guards naturally shot arrows at them. However, Du Chengfeng was a pacifist and understood that, in his current posture, it seemed he was there to invade and loot the city—fortunately, after he caught twelve arrows barehanded, the guards on the city wall finally decided to have a friendly chat with him.
So, he expressed his intentions and explained that these bandits were already willing to reform and just hoped the people in the city could give them a chance to exchange work for food.
Thus, despite repeatedly explaining that he was just passing by and doing a good deed, he still received over a dozen bags of barley, several bags of dried meat from some unknown animal, several skins of water and mild wine, and a box of gold.
"Ah, what a wonderful place."
