Wu Gen was sitting on the top of the mountain, his chin resting on his hands, motionless. If the wind hadn't lifted up his clothes frivolously, he would have looked like a rock.
Watching a figure appear from the cliff behind the village, watching him slowly go down the mountain wall until he blends into the bushes and grass in the mountain.
He sighed softly, why do people always like to seek death? Maybe they have to lose their heads to stop their stupid behavior. He stood up slowly, stretched his waist, moved his feet, and ran down the straight cliff.
There was a whistling wind in his ears, and trees and rocks were flying by at lightning speed. Wu Gen, like a goshawk, swooped toward his prey at the foot of the mountain. When it was close to the ground, the broken knife was inserted into the rock. Sparks were like chains, burning deep marks on the hard rock, and the falling force slowed down.
Phew, Wu Gen landed with his feet in front of the figure, held the knife in his arms, and looked at the other person with an expressionless face.
Ha Bao looked horrified and slowly backed up, looking around at the surrounding terrain. There is only one thought in my mind, run. If I can't run, I will die here today.
Ah, Ha Bao shouted and turned around and ran towards the night, as if shouting could alleviate the fear in his heart. After running for more than ten feet, Ha Bao didn't hear the footsteps of pursuit. Ha Bao turned around and saw that Wu Gen was still standing behind him with his dead expressionless face.
A chill suddenly hit his heart, and Ha Bao almost lost his temper, screaming wildly and continuing to run forward. But no matter how hard he ran, Wu Gen was still following behind him like a ghost. This kind of suffering of losing one's life at any time is simply worse than death.
Ha Bao finally understood how terrifying it was for a cat to play with a mouse, and his crotch suddenly felt a little wet. This young man who grew up in the village and was known as the number one hunter in the village finally collapsed under Wu Gen's loving gaze.
Wu Gen looked at Ha Bao who was lying on the ground and crying in disgust, grabbed his clothes and ran towards the village on the mountainside. After waiting in the village, he threw Ha Bao on the ground. Wu Gen said to Yang Zheng, "Tie him up and deal with them tomorrow."
In the early morning, the sun shines on the mountains, but the warm light cannot dispel the chill in the hearts of the villagers. Ha Bao was tied to a stone pillar, with his hair hanging down, motionless as if he were dead.
Hada looked at Wu Gen who walked slowly in front of him, his cold eyes threatening to freeze his own blood together.
"Sir." As soon as Hada opened his mouth, Wu Gen interrupted him.
"I always think that you should not do anything too harshly and keep a thin line in your life, and people will know how to advance and retreat. However, the facts hit me in the face again. Some people always regard my tolerance as weakness, and they touch me again and again. Touch my bottom line. Everyone, I really don’t want to chop off your heads and let birds peck at you and insects eat you.
Dead people are very boring things. He can't speak, laugh or cry, and he may startle people when he goes to the toilet in the middle of the night. But today I found that I had to do something I didn't like, and this was all forced by you. "Wu Gen looked a little sad. He gently stroked his knife and glanced at everyone's neck.
"Sir, we are wrong. Ha Bao went down the mountain only under my instruction. It has nothing to do with anyone else. If you want to kill him, just kill him." Ha Da fell to the ground slumped, bursting into tears, and kowtowed to Wu Gen.
"Sir, we were wrong." The villagers gathered around him fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
Hasan walked forward on his knees, his head pressed tightly to the ground, "Sir, please give us another chance. Hasan hereby guarantees that if anyone goes out to inform us again, I will be the first to take off his head. Please forgive me." Take the lives of Li Jun and Ha Bao. If you are really upset, I brought you back, so please take my head off."
Wu Gen waved his hand, and the noise around him gradually stopped, and everyone was staring at Wu Gen.
"If you had pushed Ha Bao out as a scapegoat just now, I would probably kill you all now. Since you can die for others, I don't want to kill anyone anymore." Wu Gen said as he walked to the edge of the cliff and pointed. Not far from the opposite side was a boulder more than three feet high. "If you do it again, you and the others will be like this."
Saying that, Wu Gen jumped up and slashed towards the boulder with a sunset style.
The knife made an arc and landed quietly on the boulder. The boulder is divided into two, and the other half slides slowly to the bottom of the cliff, with a smooth profile as a mirror.
A red color spread in front of the village, and everyone seemed to have arrived at dusk in an instant. The sun was thinning over the mountains, and the clouds were like blood. The bright red color grew rapidly and soon filled the world in front of me, turning the world into a hell.
Huge fear surged into their hearts, with helpless cries and desperate wailings. Everyone thought they were dead and would sink into the sea of blood forever, unable to escape.
I don't know how long it took, but Hasan and a few other mentally strong people woke up from despair. When he looked at Wu Gen again, his eyes were full of horror, as if he were seeing a god or demon. I finally believed that the young man in front of me, who didn't look strong and whose appearance could be described as coquettish, could really kill the entire village.
After all, the villagers in front of him were just ordinary people with no cultivation level. Wu Gen used Xizhao this time, but he actually did not use his full strength to avoid destroying the minds of these people.
"This time the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." Wu Gen pointed to Ha Bao tied to the stone pillar, with a bored expression on his face, "This person needs to be tied here for seven days. If he does not die in seven days, he can live. If he dies within seven days, That can only spell bad luck for him. During this period, no one is allowed to approach him."
After saying that, Wu Gen fluttered his sleeves and returned to the house, leaving behind a group of villagers who were still frightened and had not yet recovered from the vision just now.
In the room, Yang Zheng and Wu Gen swept away their coldness and lay on the bed imagelessly. Neither of them slept well last night, so they were a little tired.
"This should stop these unruly people." Yang Zheng lazily crossed his legs and swayed on his toes.
"It's almost done. The power has been established. The next step is to show mercy. In the past two days, the two of us took turns to go out. First, we helped these people hunt, and secondly, we also inquired about whether there were any trade routes, wealthy households, or business nearby. We need to start early and keep them firmly on our boat." Wu Gen yawned and suddenly turned around and said, "Why don't you go back to your house? I'm not interested in you."
"Hey, I'm not interested in you yet." Yang Zheng jumped out of bed angrily, pulled on his shoes and returned to his room.
In this way, Wu Gen and Yang Zheng settled in the village. Every two days, someone takes the people in the village out hunting. Both of them have a lot of cultivation, so naturally they are not comparable to these ordinary hunters. In this way, the harvest will be much more, and even some prey that I dare not touch in the past can be caught from time to time.
Looking at the prey and furs piled up in the cave, the people in the village had a much better impression of Wu Gen and Yang Zheng, and their eyes were no longer so fearful. After all, in this poor mountain village, having stable food is the most important thing.
In the past few days, Ha Bao has been tied to a stone pillar, and no one dared to approach. Only in the dead of night would Ha Ying sneak over carefully and feed him some food.
Wu Gen and Yang were watching from the dark, but they didn't stop him. It is precisely because of such caring people that we dare to operate here. Otherwise, they are just a bunch of cowardly and heartless people who will betray the two of them if something unexpected happens.
On this day, Wu Gen summoned Hada, Hashan and others to the house to discuss sending people to rob the road. In the past two days, Wu Gen went out to explore the surrounding terrain, and accidentally discovered that in a valley more than 200 miles away, people sometimes passed by.
More or less, these people were all riding Kuntianzhou's unique unicorn horses, pulling bulging goods. This place was a good place to set up an ambush and rob.
Today, several leading figures in the village were summoned here just to discuss this matter.
When Wu Gen expressed his thoughts, Hada and others all looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.
They have lived here for many years, because the village has a small population and insufficient strength. Although they live in poverty, they have never dared to think of robbery.
Although Hada was old, he had seen the world outside when he was young. He carefully persuaded him: "The valley you are talking about is called Yangchang Valley. These goods should belong to Mr. Mozhi's family. Although this road is rugged and narrow, the distance is much shorter.
Mr. Mozhi's family is a well-known big family. How can we, a small family in a small village like us, dare to touch other people's things? Even if we dare to go there, with our skills, how can we defeat them? "
Wu Gen pointed to his nose, "Isn't there still me here? To tell you the truth, I have lived in a bandit village since I was a child, and I am very knowledgeable about robbery. Don't worry, there are not many people they are escorting. As long as If you take it by surprise, it won’t be a problem.”
Hada looked hesitant. This robbery would involve fighting with others. What would happen if someone died. Moreover, Wu Gen and others could leave without any worries. Their village was right here, but they couldn't move. If the Mo Zhi family found out, wouldn't the whole village suffer?
Wu Gen's face turned cold and he waved his hand, "That's it. Each household needs to have one person with them and bring seven days' worth of dry food. If they don't leave from the Sheep Intestine Valley, that's it. If they do, everyone will have to take action." We will be ready to leave tomorrow, everyone go back and prepare."
On the second day, Wu Gen and Yang Zheng stood in front of the cave. Looking at the more than thirty people in disheveled clothes and disorderly formation in front of them, they couldn't help shaking their heads secretly. Those who knew knew they were going to rob, but those who didn't knew thought they were fleeing from famine.
Hassan was also standing in the group. Since he and his brother had not yet separated, he was the only one standing out.
"Everyone, this time you go out to seek wealth. This is different from hunting in the past. Everyone must obey orders and cannot act without authorization. You are not allowed to hide wealth privately. You must distribute it according to the credit upon your return. Anyone who does not follow the rules, be careful that I damage your head. Pick the chamber pot." Wu Gen stood in front of the team and made a simple mobilization.
There was a sparse response from below, obviously unwilling to take this action.
Wu Gen sneered in his heart, once he reaped the benefits, these people might not be able to stop him next time.
At this time, a man came out of the cave and said in a hoarse voice: "Sir, after all, we have to fight with others, and I also want to go with you." The person who came was none other than Shabao, who was not alive after being tied up for seven days. Die and save a life.
After surviving, he often huddled in the cave and rarely came out except for hunting. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to ask for help today. Before he finished speaking, Ha Ying also ran out of the cave and shouted: "I want to go too."
Hasan's expression changed, he turned around and shouted: "This is not about going out to play, stay at home, it's adults' business, why should children join in the fun?"
"No, I'm going. I've grown up and it's time to contribute to the village." Ha Ying slapped his neck and refuted his father's face on the spot.
"You bastard, you are risking your life, just stay here." Hasan was annoyed, picked up a stick and rushed over.
"I'm going, I'm going, even Brother Ha Bao is going." Ha Ying shouted repeatedly while avoiding the crowd.
The two people's quarrel relieved the somewhat depressed atmosphere a lot.
"Forget it, let the two of them go, one more person will be more powerful." Wu Gen's words finally ended the farce. Hasan glared at his son fiercely, but the other man stood beside Ha Bao triumphantly.
Wu Gen glanced at Ha Bao and said loudly: "Let's go."
