As night falls, the tired birds return to the forest.
It was so dark in the mountain that I could barely see anything, and there were no pedestrians on the mountain road.
Jiang Fa led the two horses deep into the woods and tied them up, then he and Chang Yu followed the leading thief and walked south along a winding path.
Although the road was small, it was neither steep nor rugged. There were dense bushes on both sides. The thief leading the way was looking around wildly. Jiang Fa reminded him not to play tricks, and don't think he could escape by hiding in the bushes when it was dark. If it falls, he has a hundred ways to catch it, and once caught, he will kill him quickly.
Chang Yu also advised the thief that if he escaped at this time, he would definitely die, so it was better to take him back to the stronghold. There was nothing to fear when there were seventy or eighty people there.
These words are really like reassurance.
The little thief who led the way suddenly became enlightened after hearing this. No, that's not true. Although he didn't know where these two people came from or what their purpose was, once they entered the village, they could make waves and do whatever they wanted, and he The only thing I'm afraid of now is whether the leader will get around me if I kill one of my own people.
Well, if that doesn't work, I can just run away when I enter the village later.
He felt calm in his heart. This thief still had the audacity to come up with a cliché. He really couldn't figure out the identity of the two men, one of whom seemed to have a master-servant relationship. They were not like officers and soldiers and spies, and the officers and soldiers had not cared about them at all in the past few years. I can't care about what's going on in the mountains, let alone the vicious desperadoes.
Could it be that he is a charlatan?
I bother!
Unless he is sick, no wanderer would really risk his life to bring bad luck to a robber.
Moreover, just two people?
What a big joke!
There is only one possibility, and that is a fellow traveler on the Green Forest Road.
However, Green Forest Road fellow Baishan would not kill someone upon meeting.
The little thief couldn't understand, let alone what to say.
After walking for about half a tea, Chang Yu couldn't tell the line of defense in the high mountains and dense forests. Chang Yu couldn't tell the line of defense. Worried that the little thief was causing trouble, he went up and kicked him to the ground. Damn it, believe it or not, I'll chop him up right now. you. The little thief kept shouting for mercy and swore he would never do anything bad. He said he would be there in just a hundred meters.
Jiang Fa was suspicious. Even if the officers and soldiers had been ignored for several years, how could a mountain village not have famous posts and hidden sentries? However, he had seen nothing along the way.
The little thief said yes, not far ahead.
Sure enough, after walking for more than a hundred meters, I saw a faint light of fire in the forest ahead. When I got closer, I saw a shack on a rock. Inside there was a sloppy man over fifty years old. The little thief greeted him and said, Whispering to Jiang Fa, he was the secret whistle of their village.
Jiang Fa was silent and Chang Yu sneered.
He has also broken through copycats. When intercepting the Tatar army in Qingzhou Prefecture, he took a shortcut into the mountains. There were countless copycats there. They were not only large in size but also highly vigilant. Defense and early warning measures were in place.
As for the group of bandits in front of us... I can only say that fortunately no officers and soldiers came to attack.
Of course, it is not ruled out that they have been living in peace for many years and their guard is down.
Who are these two? The sloppy man asked casually when he saw the stranger. The little thief who led the way quickly said that he was a fellow Green Forester who came to seek refuge. While the two were talking, Chang Yu took a look at the shack. There were all kinds of pots and pans. It was complete, and there was a gong placed at the door, which should be used as a warning. I glanced at the secret whistle, which was about fifty years old. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. What a famous secret whistle. Isn't this the security guard who will guard the factory complex in the future? Uncle?
Not professional at all.
I was about to draw my sword and kill him easily, but for no reason my heart softened, so I urged the little thief who was leading the way to quickly go to the village.
Walking further from the outpost is a climb, and it becomes winding. Fortunately, it is not too steep. After walking for more than a hundred meters, we reach the mountainside. Through the gaps between the branches, we can see a little light on the top of the mountain. The little thief who led the way said this .
The gate of the cottage was built on a slope, and the wooden and stone structure was not too high. The little thief who led the way shouted a few words outside, and soon a man came out and opened the door from the inside. He glanced at the three of them and cursed: " I thought I brought a girl with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Fa slashed him to death. When the young thief who led the way saw this, he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Good man, please spare the little one..."
Chang Yu drew his sword and left him with a whole body.
In the blink of an eye, two people were killed in a row, but the village was still as calm as water.
This was somewhat unexpected to Chang Yu. In the plan, the two of them only had to trick the village gate into opening and then rush in without warning. This would reduce the risk a lot. After all, there were more than 70 people in the village. If there were enemies, Be prepared, if more than seventy people swarmed up and were surrounded, it would be bad. Even if they broke out, they would definitely lose. Chang Yu had super self-healing ability, but it didn't matter. What he was afraid of was that Jiang Fa would be seriously injured.
Regardless of the fact that Jiang Fa was also fully prepared, he had already discussed with Chang Yu on the way here. Whether it was to take advantage of him or to directly challenge him, he should not be surrounded by the other party in any case. With the courage of the two of them, as long as If you don't get dumped, it's not difficult to fight him and kill him nearly a hundred times. After all, the bandit is not a professional soldier. He doesn't have the strength and is more afraid of death.
Killing a few people in a row will scare them out of their courage.
However, when he entered the village and killed two people in a row, he did not attract the attention of the thief. Instead, the two of them stared at each other unexpectedly.
The two of them stood at the entrance of the village and looked around for a while, feeling relieved. ,
The village gate was still some distance away from the top of the hill, and it was dinner time, so the thieves should have gathered at the brightest spot on the top of the hill, and the thief who opened the door just now might just be a janitor or on duty.
If that's the case, let's do it all together.
Chang Yu glanced at Jiang Fa, then took the knife and walked towards the brightest part of the mountain. It was vaguely visible that there was a big house.
The mountain roads in the village are relatively wide and all are bluestone roads. There are scattered small houses on both sides, some of which are stone and some of wood. There is a vegetable garden next to the house, and I even saw a sheep pen.
Good guy, it seems that Golden Beard has been here for several years and has managed this village well, and it even feels like a paradise.
But having said that, thieves' dens these days are all the same. They don't rely entirely on robbery to make a living. They also have to grow their own food, vegetables and poultry to support themselves.
Approaching the big house on the top of the hill, many people could be vaguely seen around him and their voices could even be heard. Chang Yu felt that the hand holding the knife was sweating. He was a little nervous after not having a team fight for a long time.
At this moment, a big dog jumped from a nearby stone house and barked at the two of them, which really scared Chang Yu. Fortunately, the dog was tied up.
Damn it, Chang Yu cursed, and just as he raised his knife to scare the dog, a dark figure walked out of the stone house. Jiang Fa jumped over and was about to strike down with his knife, but suddenly stopped.
It turned out to be a woman.
It was dark and I couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly. She must have been in her thirties. Facing the two strangers carrying knives, the woman was obviously frightened. She took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, her eyes exposed. A look of panic.
Shhh, Chang Yu made a gesture, and when he and Jiang Fa were about to walk away, the woman suddenly shouted: "Kill someone, kill someone."
Damn it, Chang Yu rushed up to the woman, kicked her unconscious, turned around and said to Jiang Fa: "Stop hiding it, go ahead and do it, and you won't get laughed at by the guys in Wuzhong when we are not as good as him."
Jiang Fa chuckled, didn't say anything, picked up the knife and rushed towards the bright light not far away.
