But Robin and his outlaws were in the trees.
They killed all the soldiers except one.
Robin and his men were the best archers of the region.
They knew the forest perfectly.
They were never afraid of fighting the soldiers of the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham.
It was impossible to stop Robin Hood.
The sheriff was furious because the people laughed at him.

His subjects loved King Richard and hated him.
One day, King John stood on the castle walls.
He spoke to all his people.
He said, 'We must capture Robin Hood and his outlaws. They are our enemy. I can pay a hundred pieces of gold for Robin Hood, dead or alive! Bring me that outlaw!'
From that day on, Robin's life was in great danger.

第四章：通缉，无论死活！
几年过去了，舍伍德森林里住着200多名亡命之徒。
罗宾汉是穷人的英雄。
他继续劫富济贫。
罗宾汉称之为“舍伍德税”。
所有经过舍伍德森林的有钱旅客都要交“舍伍德税”。
诺丁汉郡长派了一队士兵到舍伍德森林去抓罗宾汉。
但罗宾和他的亡命之徒在树林里。
除一人外，他们杀死了所有的士兵。
罗宾和他的手下是这个地区最好的弓箭手。
他们对森林了如指掌。
他们从不害怕与邪恶的诺丁汉郡长的士兵作战。
要阻止罗宾汉是不可能的。
郡长非常愤怒，因为人们嘲笑他。
他没能抓住罗宾汉。
约翰国王也很生气。
他的臣民既爱戴理查德国王，又憎恨他本人。
一天，约翰国王站在城堡的城墙上。
他对他所有的人民讲话。
他说：“我们必须抓住罗宾汉和他的歹徒。他们是我们的敌人。我可以付一百枚金币买罗宾汉，不管他是死是活！把那个逃犯给我带来！”
从那天起，罗宾的生命处于极大的危险之中。
