Volume 1 Chapter 20 Night Exploration of the Bandits
Several people who returned home could not sleep. This night was too unforgettable. The rest of the Xu family had not rested yet and had been waiting for them to come back.
I don't know how long it took, but several people still fell asleep. No one knew what they were dreaming about.
In the early morning of mid-August, there was a bit of fog in the mountains and forests. Xu Wulinhu took ten people from the village and ten people from the Zhao family.
Chen Sihuai and his group of twenty-three people, who insisted on following, cautiously went forward to investigate the situation.
After walking for more than ten miles, they didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Everyone was considering whether to continue walking.
"Keep walking a little further. There is a backslope in front. We can rest there for a while, and then sneak up from the trail on the left. The first nest of bandits is there, the second and third nests of bandits.
The bandits are two brothers, known as the Black and White Shuangsha in the world. This first nest of bandits is used to show off, and the force is not high. If we want to deal with them, we have to understand the general layout of the bandit nest, and then not give them a chance to light a beacon for help.
"
Chen Sihuai told others about the situation of the bandits' den. The first bandit's den was a lookout. As long as the first stronghold lit the beacon fire, the two following strongholds would swarm to support.
Everyone who listened to Chen Sihuai's words...
A group of bandits also played military tricks and lit beacon fire to send messages. Everyone looked at each other and then walked up the mountain stronghold through the trail mentioned by Chen Sihuai.
After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, they arrived at the bandit's den.
Xu Wu signaled to Lin Hu, and the two teams separated. Xu Wu observed it, found a slightly lower place from the back of the village, and climbed over the wall.
Perhaps because these bandits are fearless, the guards here are not strict.
Xu Wu divided the people into two teams, and he took a few people to the outside of a row of short houses in the backyard.
"Snapped!"
A crisp slap came from the room, and then a woman's voice was heard scolding someone from inside the room.
"Do you think it's over when you die? Who will avenge our family, who will avenge the more than a hundred people who died in the village, who will avenge our poor sisters and sisters, who will save those younger brothers and sisters who were kidnapped
, let them all be cooked and eaten by those evil people?"
The people who were eavesdropping outside the door were all nervous. All the children they had captured were eaten. It was so cruel and terrifying, and they didn’t know who accidentally made the sound.
"who?"
The woman made a sound again, and then the footsteps got closer and closer. Xu Wu quickly asked someone to hide, and he appeared at the door. When the woman opened the door, he covered her mouth.
"Shh, little girl, don't talk. I came here to escape, and I found that there are bandits here. The village sent me here to inquire about the situation. Can you let me in?"
The woman nodded slightly. It couldn't be worse than this. If it was a bandit, he wouldn't be so cautious.
"Are you captured refugees?"
The two women in front of him were quite pretty, and Xu Wu thought that this might be the reason why they were allowed to stay.
"Yes, I am Guan Dongyue, and she is Wu Xiuzhu. We were captured and came here three days ago. Our parents...were all killed by them, and the children younger than us were cooked by the inhumane bandits.
They ate them, and the other sisters were also eaten by them..."
Guan Dongyue couldn't speak anymore, and Wu Xiuzhu next to her had already burst into tears.
Because she and Xiuzhu were prettier than the other girls, they planned to give them to their eldest son, so they were not bullied like the other sisters, otherwise they might have hanged themselves with a piece of white silk.
"You guys wait here. I'll go back and discuss with the village what to do to rescue the remaining children. You guys can try to find out the location of the beacon tower here. I'll leave two of you here to find out the information.
, you just go to the shortest wall in the backyard and throw two stones out, and someone will appear."
After Xu Wu arranged things for the two of them, he left the room, and then took the remaining people back to the wall to climb out. After waiting outside the courtyard for a while, the two groups merged.
After leaving two people to hide outside the wall, the remaining people went down the mountain and returned to the camp as quickly as possible.
"How's it going, brother?"
Seeing everyone running back sweating profusely, Xu Yunjin and the others quickly went to pour water. Xu Wen asked a little anxiously.
He also wanted to go, but his father and elder brother both disliked him for looking like a weak scholar, so he couldn't go.
"We are in the cottage..."
When they heard that the kidnapped child had been cooked and eaten, the villagers were frightened. They pulled their children and held them tightly in their arms, fearing that they would be snatched away in the next second.
"These bandits are worse than animals. They eat children. It is unjust and unjust."
Some old people in the village jumped up and could hardly control the crutches in their hands. If those bandits were here, they would probably be beaten to death by them.
"Uuuuuuuuah...Mom, I don't want to be cooked and eaten, I don't want to be cooked and eaten."
The adults and children all burst into tears, but Xu Yunjin didn't feel noisy, only sad and angry.
At this moment, Xu Yunjin hated herself. Why didn't she just poison all the bandits to death instead of using the skill of flying over the roof and walking over the wall?
Everyone was immersed in this atmosphere for a long time and couldn't extricate themselves. Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear to hear these angry things, so she pulled Xu Yunjin aside.
"Jin Yatou, can you buy some paper money, ingots, and candles for commemoration at your farm? I want to burn some paper money and send it to those poor children, so that they can have an easier journey on the road to hell and be reborn into a good family in their next life."
Mrs. Zhang cried again as she spoke, pulling up her sleeves and wiping the corners of her eyes. Xu Yunjin looked around to see if there was no one around, and bought the things needed for the memorial ceremony.
"Grandma, please let it go first. After we avenge them and rescue the remaining people, let them come to worship together."
Xu Yunjin comforted her grandma for a while, and then helped Mrs. Zhang back to the tent to rest. When she came out, she saw more than a hundred young and middle-aged people standing in an open space opposite. Two village chiefs stood in front, not knowing what they were saying to everyone.
say what.
"You guys are usually strong or have some boxing skills. You know the reason why you were chosen. Just now, the Zhao family's guards brought news that the bandits will come down the mountain tomorrow to see if anyone passes by.
If they do, they will come to rob and kill us. We will go to the bandits' den tonight. Only by killing all the bandits at night can our parents, wives, children, and children leave here safely."
Xu Yongnian paused for a moment before continuing:
"I know you are all ordinary people, and you may only kill a few chickens and ducks in your life, but now the lives of your families are in your hands. You must put down the fear in your hearts and kill those bandits who do all kinds of evil."
"Village Chief, we are not afraid. Those damn bandits have killed so many people. We are doing justice to God by killing them."
"Yes, uncle village chief, we are not afraid at all. We can protect our families, avenge those who died, and clear a path for those behind us. We are not afraid."
The voices of more than a hundred grown men filled Xu Yunjin's heart with infinite emotion. Fortunately, their team was very united. This chapter has been completed!
