When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the top of Jinniu Mountain, Chang Yu slowly stood up in the Juyi Hall, rubbing his sleepy eyes. Jiang Fa was still sleeping in the corner. He had spent the whole night worrying about being killed by the cat demon and the thief who had managed to escape. During the attack, the two barely slept.
There were corpses scattered around outside the Juyi Hall, and flies were buzzing and flying around on the ground with blood stains. Chang Yu looked around, if it weren't for the corpses everywhere, this would be a quiet mountain village.
A woman came slowly with fear on her face: "Benefactor, can you take me down the mountain?"
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "They don't want to go down the mountain, why are you?"
"I, I have a child at the foot of the mountain. I can't let go of my child and I can't let go of my man..." The woman covered her face and cried bitterly. Chang Yu saw that he didn't seem to be cheating: "Do you still remember the road?"
"Remember, remember, it's right at Mengjiazhuang by the Huaihe River." The woman turned in a circle and determined the direction: "North, just north..." Chang Yu was stunned: "You can recognize kidney beans."
The woman was startled and wiped her tears: "There is a daughter named Kidney Bean from the old Sun family in my village."
That’s right! Chang Yu was so happy that yesterday he patted his chest and told the children that he would rescue their aunt, but he forgot about it after going up to the mountain to fight. Unexpectedly...
Chang Yu originally wanted to find out more about the village from this woman, but he was worried about exposing her scars. He hesitated for a long time without asking anything, and then said, "Auntie, go and get us some food."
The woman responded and turned to the kitchen.
Jiang Fa stood at the door of the hall and frowned: "Master, don't trust others gullibly."
"It's the aunt from Mengjiazhuang. She knows Kidney Dou. She can't be wrong. She knows Kidney Dou's surname is Sun."
Jiang Fa nodded slightly and looked up at the morning sun: "It must be very hot today." Then he looked at the corpses on the ground. Chang Yu shrugged: "I only care about killing, not burying."
At three o'clock in the morning, Chang Yu left the village, followed by Jiang Fa, who was limping on a crutch, and a woman carrying a package containing a lot of money.
Jin Dabeard has been here for several years and has a lot of savings. Chang Yu and Jiang Fa installed some and gave some to this woman, but abandoned the rest, even if it was left to the orphans and widows in the mountains, what will happen to them in the future? To make a living, it was as he said before, to kill them, not to bury them, not to mention how they lived.
The air in the mountains was fresh, the flowers were fragrant, and the birds were chirping. Chang Yu, who had vented his anger after killing someone, felt extremely relaxed and comfortable walking on the mountain road. He walked leisurely while enjoying the scenery, but he was surprised to find that there were still people at the outpost. .
The old thief didn't even escape. He was sitting by the wooden shed and looking at Chang Yu and the others blankly.
"Why didn't you escape?" Chang Yu was curious. There was such a big movement last night, and there were fish that escaped through the net. It was impossible for the old man not to know that something happened in the village.
"Young hero, since you saved the little old man's life, why bother running away? Where can you run away to?" the old thief sighed.
Chang Yu nodded: "It seems to make sense."
"Have everyone been killed in the village?" the old thief asked expressionlessly. Chang Yu said, "Absolutely. There are still orphans and widows, and there are a few fish that slipped through the net."
"I've seen those fish, I'm afraid they won't come back." The old thief sighed and stood up: "Are you still going to kill me?"
Chang Yu shook his head: "Since I have spared you, why kill me again?"
The old thief nodded: "Then I'll go up." Without waiting for Chang Yu's answer, he walked along the mountain road toward the village with his hands behind his back and his waist hunched over.
"Hey, old man, if anyone asks, tell him it was me, Black and White Wu Chang Dong Lai, who did it." Chang Yu looked at the back of the old thief and shouted. The old thief didn't know if he heard it, but he didn't turn around or talk to him anyway.
It took nearly half an hour for the three of them to walk out of the mountain. Chang Yu was in high spirits and showed no sign of fatigue. The woman was a peasant woman who usually worked hard, unlike most ladies. She was just sweating a little on the mountain road. Jiang Fa, on the other hand, was out of breath, but it was actually because of injuries on his body.
There is still no one in the thatched shed, but the tolls in the stone trough in front of the shed have increased a lot. It seems that the people here are used to it and are numb. No matter whether anyone is watching or not, they will take the initiative to give money when passing by.
Chang Yu put all the money in the stone trough, and then punched it with a punch. His hand suddenly hurt, but the stone trough was safe. He looked at Jiang Fa with anger and embarrassment.
Jiang Fa couldn't help but laugh: "Master, what you are practicing is not internal strength. Aren't you looking for punishment for being so reckless?" As he spoke, he got angry and punched the stone trough. With a crash, the stone trough broke into two halves. Jiang Fa couldn't help but laugh. Faya couldn't help but let out a low groan, and he must have been pulling on the wound.
Some passers-by were shocked when they saw this, and looked at the three people but hesitated to speak.
"What are you looking at? I've killed all the robbers in the mountains, so what's the use of keeping the stone trough?" Chang Yu chuckled, and more than ten travelers were surprised and half-believing, and looked at the woman: "Is it true?"
"Look at what he's doing, she's just a passerby stopping here." Chang Yu snorted, deliberately pretending not to know this woman, but in fact he didn't want to be intimidating. If it was known that she was rescued from a den of thieves, , all kinds of rumors are flying all over the place.
As I said, these rumors are also true.
But...
In short, cover up as much as you can at the moment.
Just you two? Some people didn't believe it, but they saw that both of them were injured, and that the thin man broke the stone trough with one punch, so they had to believe it, so they asked each other what they said, and then some pedestrians passed by and heard what was said. They also gathered around. After a while, this section of the road was actually congested.
The robbers in the mountains were taken away by two rangers. They no longer had to pay when passing by, and the surrounding countryside no longer had to worry about these robbers robbing... The passers-by told each other, and they were overjoyed.
"Although the den of thieves has been taken care of, there are still a few fish that have slipped through the net. Don't think about picking up bargains, or you will end up harming your life." Chang Yu warned before leaving. He was not really worried about those who wanted to pick up bargains. Safety, but for the sake of the orphans and widows in the mountains.
They retrieved the two war horses from the woods, helped Jiang Fa onto the horse, and winked at the woman. Then the three of them walked south along the mountain road. Before leaving, they did not forget to pay attention to those who were still talking about it. The businessman said goodbye: "Hei Wuchang comes from the east. This is Bai Wuchang and Jiang Facai. We are heroes and do good deeds for heaven without leaving our name. We must keep it secret and don't make it public..."
