Volume 1 Battle in the Sand Garden Chapter 70 Ge Yi Xiangshi
Qin Chong slept very uneasily, and kept having nightmares. Suddenly he exclaimed, turned over and sat up, with sweat dripping from his forehead.
Suddenly, a cold long knife was placed on his neck. Qin Zhong was in a daze, thinking he was in a dream. However, when he turned around, he saw someone holding a torch in the room, and he woke up immediately. Just as he was about to act,
The blade on the neck moved and cut into the skin instantly.
"Boy, be honest." Behind him, someone held down Qin Zhong's shoulders.
Qin Zhong did not speak, and looked around the room with his eyes. Counting the people behind him, there should be three people. The two people in front of him, holding a torch in one hand and a knife in the other, looked at Qin Zhong with a ferocious smile. Looking at their clothes, they seemed to be green forest figures.
Why did he find me inexplicably?
There was a lot of noise outside the room, with torches and figures swaying around, shouts and curses mixed together, but no one knew what was going on.
"Let's go." The man behind pushed Qin Zhong out of the room.
In the yard, all the men and women of this family were pulled out of their rooms. In addition to the old couple, there was also a young couple. In the arms of the young couple, there were two children of four or five years old. The family knelt down tremblingly.
In the courtyard, the whole body was shaken into chaff.
There were two other people in the yard, holding torches and waist knives and cursing. They were impatient with the child's cry, so they raised their legs and kicked the child in the face. The child's father suddenly jumped up, hugged the kicking gangster and rolled down.
On the ground, another gangster was furious when he saw this. He yelled and slashed at the man with his knife.
Qin Zhong looked annoyed and raised his elbow to hit behind him. He heard a scream and the man holding Qin Zhong flew backwards and hit the wall with a thud. How could a wall made of rammed earth withstand such a strong impact?
It collapsed with a bang, burying the man inside.
Qin Zhong's purpose was to save people. After knocking him out with his elbow, he didn't even look at it. He stepped forward and kicked him out.
The gangster was about to slash someone with a knife, but before the knife fell, the person was kicked into the air. The sound of broken bones, together with his shrill screams, reached the ears of everyone in the courtyard. A "bang" sound was heard.
He fell back to the ground, his hands and feet only twitched a few times, and then there was no more movement.
The other gangsters were stunned with fright, holding knives in their hands, but they did not dare to take a step closer to Qin Zhong.
Qin Zhong ignored them, stretched out his hand to help the elderly couple, and asked them to hide back in the house. As soon as he turned around, the remaining three gangsters ran out of the yard. As they ran, they shouted at the top of their lungs.
He said, "The second boss, the second boss, hard ideas will hurt your hands."
Qin Chong heard this shout clearly, and there was nothing he didn't understand. He was encountering bandits.
"Are you okay?" Qin Zhong asked instead of chasing after him.
"It's okay, it's okay." The young man raised his hands to Qin Zhong and said. If it wasn't for Qin Zhong, he might have died. He was very grateful.
"Young man." The old man said in a trembling voice, "Run away quickly, these people are very fierce."
"Oh? Does my husband know this group of people?" Qin Zhong asked.
"They are from Beishan Black Tiger Village and come every year." The young man interjected.
"Black Tiger Village?" Qin Chong knew that there were many bandits these days, but fighting with such open fire was too rampant, right?
Beishan Qin Zhong knew that when he first arrived here, he had learned about the geographical situation from the locals. Jinsu Mountain is a large area, such as the main peak of Jinsu Mountain, which the locals call Jialiang. And the peak to the north,
It is Beishan. There is only one way up and down the mountain, and the terrain is difficult.
"In previous years, they only came here to steal food, but they never killed anyone." The old man sighed and said, "For some reason, they want to kill people this time?"
"How many people came here in previous years?" Qin Zhong asked again.
"There must be twenty or thirty people, right?" the young man said, but he was not sure. I was so scared to death that I couldn't think about how many gangsters there were.
"Young man, there are too many of them, and they are all armed with knives and swords. You'd better run away quickly." My father-in-law urged from the side.
"Don't worry, after I deal with these gangsters, I will repay you with a meal." Qin Zhong said, turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate.
"Oh, the younger generation, the younger generation, I can't go." The old man became even more panicked and called Qin Chong hurriedly, but how could he call back?
After walking out of the yard, Qin Zhong discovered that the entire small mountain village was full of torches. There were cries and cries from almost every household. Qin Zhong was startled. This village is not big, and it cannot be said to be rich. Why is it being targeted by bandits?
? Such a move to mobilize the troops.
Perhaps after hearing the warning, the gangsters temporarily left the villagers behind and rushed out in groups.
After walking twenty or thirty steps, Qin Chong's path was blocked by people all around him. There were people in groups of three or two, some holding swords, some holding wooden forks, and some simply dragging a hammer.
One by one, with their hearts open and their hearts open, they leaned towards Qin Zhong with loud noises.
There was a very special person directly opposite, which caught Qin Zhong's attention. He was special because he stood out among the crowd. He was two heads taller than the average person. According to Qin Zhong's visual inspection, he was at least two meters tall.
, tall and strong, with eyes like copper bells, and a very ferocious appearance.
What caught Qin Zhong's attention the most were the weapons in his hands, which were two hammers as big as watermelons.
The big man stared at Qin Zhong with a very unkind look. He was different from the others. Although the others gathered around him, they obviously had no intention of taking action and just stood aside and watched. The big man kept walking, walking faster and faster, and moved his hands
Swinging the hammer, he rushed towards Qin Zhong like a whirlwind.
At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from somewhere in the yard.
The big man who was running madly felt as if he had been immobilized when he heard the screams. His feet wiped the ground and he suddenly stopped.
"Which bastard dares to bully Xiu Qin, I will smash your bones." The big man shouted angrily, turned and ran away. Looking at the direction he was going, it was the courtyard where the scream came from. As for Qin Zhong,
He had long since thrown her into the clouds.
Qin Zhong touched his nose and was almost amused by the big man's behavior. Also, fighting is not as important as women.
From the looks of it, she is still an acquaintance.
At this time, the muffled sound of horse hoofs could be heard in an alley beside the road. Qin Zhong turned his head and saw a man and a horse, Shi Shiran coming towards him.
The person on the horse is wearing a Taoist robe made of Gebu, which changes in green and yellow under the light of the torch. He is wearing a Taoist crown and three strands of long beard. He is holding a cloth flag in his arms, with black characters on a white background reading: The iron mouth is cut straight, and a hexagram is worth a thousand gold.
.It turns out that a fortune teller appeared among the bandits.
In other words, a bandit who kills people and sells goods just puts on a disguise.
"Second Master." Seeing this person coming, a group of bandits on the roadside greeted him with fists in their hands.
"The second boss, this is the idea that hurts our two brothers."
.........
The divination master dressed in Taoist attire kept looking at Qin Zhong and ignored the greetings of the people around him as if he didn't notice.
"Boy, if you dare to offend our Black Tiger Village, have you thought about the consequences?" The Gua Master suddenly said with a half-smile.
"What are the consequences of some scraps?" Qin Zhong took a step forward and said disdainfully. He was only one foot away from the divination master opposite. Even if the divination master was riding a horse, he was not much taller than Qin Zhong. . Horses and dwarfs are also short, so in Qin Zhong’s eyes, they don’t count.
"Where did you come from, you wild boy? Don't be arrogant."
“I don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is, and I’m not afraid of the strong wind blowing my tongue.”
.........
Before the divination master could speak, the bandits around him became angry. They all came over with knives and swords waving their swords as if they wanted to teach Qin Chong a lesson.
At this time, the hexagram master gently raised his hand, and the noisy voice suddenly stopped.
"Haha, who doesn't know how to tell big lies?" The Gua Master said with a smile, not in a hurry or annoyed, "If you can accept my move, I will naturally let you go."
"Let me go?" Qin Zhong sneered disdainfully, waved to the divination master, and said, "Come on, let me see your Taoism."
The divination master laughed loudly and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, okay." As he said that, he quickly raised his right hand, drew out the peach wood sword on his back, skillfully held a sword flower, and pointed at Qin Zhong. He shouted, "Go." He struck the tail of the sword with his left hand, and the wooden sword shot straight towards Qin Zhong.
This sword speed? This strength? Qin Zhong laughed dumbly. He was wearing a Taoist uniform. Was he trying to do something?
Qin Zhong casually waved his hand and hit the wooden sword. The wooden sword was fragile and broke immediately at the slightest touch. But at this moment, a puff of white powder suddenly spurted out from the broken edge of the wooden sword. Qin Zhong was startled, and in an instant He stepped back. But the distance was too close, and the powder still splashed on Qin Zhong.
When he retreated in fright, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance. Qin Zhong thought to himself, "It's broken."
Before I could change my mind, I felt my mind was confused, and I fell to the ground with a thud. I tried to hold myself up with my hands several times, but I couldn't stand up.
Within two or three breaths, Qin Zhong completely lost consciousness.
"Hahaha." The divination master looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, feeling very proud. The bandits followed him and laughed wildly, looking very arrogant.
"The second boss is great."
"In the northwest, how can there be any rival for the second master?"
"Ha ha."
...........
The bandits were flattering, and the divination master was very proud. Several bandits had already gone up and tied Qin Chong up tightly.
"Go and drive out all the men in the village." the divination master said.
"De Ling." One of the bandits imitated the drama and came up with a colorful tune, which made all the bandits cheer.
The village was in chaos again, with cries and cries. The ordinary people could not resist the bandits with knives. Without much effort, all the men in the village were driven to the wheat field, a crowd of forty or fifty people. Women and children gathered around the site, but were threatened by the bandits with knives and did not dare to approach.
The crowd gradually became quiet. At this time, the Gua Master got off his horse, staggered into the crowd, and jumped onto the stone roller. Standing on a high place, he glanced back and forth in the crowd several times with cold eyes. He coughed. , immediately put on a smiling face.
"Folks," the Gua Master shouted, raised his hand and waved, and then said, "Don't be afraid."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd suddenly became noisy, and many young men looked at him angrily, gesturing to squeeze towards the stone roller.
"Be honest as fuck." The big man wielding the double hammer shouted loudly and kicked him with his feet. The few young men in the lead fell to the ground after being kicked. More people were afraid of the big man's power. , immediately shrank back. Perhaps only then did he realize that these people were not good people.
"We in Black Tiger Village are encountering some difficulties, so we would like to ask the villagers to help us." The Gua Master continued.
"We come here every year to grab food, how can we help?" Someone in the crowd shouted, but they didn't dare to show their heads.
"Haha." The Gua Master chuckled, but there was a cold and stern look in his eyes. "If you want to die, just don't go."
There was a "buzz" in the crowd, as if they were startled by the Gua Master's words. Black Tiger Village has been robbing food every year, but it only robs food, and no one has been killed. This also gave the people in the village the illusion that
Black Tiger Village does not know how to kill people. Naturally, everyone will be frightened if they say murderous words this time.
"May I ask the second master, where do you want us to go? What to do?" A white-haired old man at the front of the crowd asked tremblingly.
"We have opened a mine, but we don't have enough manpower, so we came here to ask the villagers for help." said the Gua Master.
"Mine?" Next to the old man, a middle-aged man stood and asked, "What mine?"
In this era, coal, copper, iron, and vitriol were all mined, and the people were no stranger to this. Of course, the mining methods at this time were crude and more dangerous. Accidents involving landslides and water leaks occurred frequently, and deaths were unavoidable.
. Hearing that it was mining, everyone subconsciously rejected it.
"As for what mine it is, you will know it after you go there."
"How long will it take?" someone asked, "How much salary can I get?"
"Hehe." The divination master chuckled, "Soon, soon, maybe two months. When the mining is finished, I will let you come back."
"But the wheat harvest is about to begin in two days. What will happen to the food in the fields once it's gone?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately became chaotic, and there was a buzz of chatter. Seeing that, the mood of the crowd became excited. The divination master felt impatient, and the anger flashed between his brows, and he was about to explode. But this
At that moment, the big man wielding a hammer roared again, "Want to kill your whole family? Grandpa will help you."
After saying that, he rushed towards the crowd with two hammers in hand, scaring the villagers into screaming and running away.
After a long commotion, the big man only threatened and did not actually kill anyone. But the villagers were really frightened.
"Half a stick of incense, you only have half a stick of incense." The divination master no longer pretended to be a good person and said sternly, "All men from fifteen years old up to fifty years old will gather here after half a stick of incense. Now
Go back and settle down, if you dare to escape and hide, your whole family will be killed."
A disaster suddenly struck the small mountain village. Due to the fierce power of the bandits, no one dared to resist. After half a stick of incense, the young men in the village were taken away by the bandits. The remaining old people, women and children were sent to the village crying.
Outside, naturally, the unconscious Qin Chong was also among them.
