Mercenaries and Adventurers

Vol 4 Chapter 306: , raided New Spring Village, Ken and Dead Spot

When the refugee team camped overnight and ate in Kiel, Xinqingquan Village was not far away on the mountain.

The leader of the bandits who stayed behind in the village looked up and was walking around in his house restlessly. This room was originally the place where the bandit leader lived. Before that, several young and beautiful women were locked up here, but during the day, Scarface took everyone away, so he was the only one with the bald head here.

There are not many houses in the village, but there are quite a few people, so there is almost no empty place, and the bald head does not want people to see his anxious appearance at this time, so he specially found an empty and empty place to wait.

Waiting for the big change tonight.

His house is located on the second floor in the center of the village, facing the village square with a spring in the center of the village, with a large wooden window.

At this time, there were some female moans coming from outside, mixed with the sound of some young bandits panting fiercely.

The sound came from the dark place of the house outside. It was okay during the day, and he occasionally walked around the village to show his presence. And those other left-behind bandits who were not familiar with him also pretended to be watching the slaves owned by other bandits while pretending to be on guard.

And when night came, these people didn't know who started, they all jumped off their guard positions, and touched the house that they had been peeping for a long time during the day.

They scrambled to open the door of the house, and in the sight of the people who were arrested in the house, unshackled the women they liked and took them away. Some even fought over a certain woman.

At this moment, the scene outside the window finally made the bald head heave a sigh of relief. After all, the people left behind are so rotten, the gang of bandits next door can't keep breaking in, right?

At the gate of the village, the bald-headed confidant and another bandit nicknamed Dogfoot were leaning against a brazier to warm up in boredom. In the mountains and forests, the temperature is low at night and the humidity is high. If you don’t keep yourself warm all night, you will have problems with your legs and feet within a few years.

"Have you heard that? Those voices in the village."

The bald confidant smiled strangely and pointed to the direction behind them, then turned his head and said to Goujiao.

Goujiao is not very old, but he has joined the 'Iron Bucket' gang for several years, so although he is a little eager, on the whole, he is quite disdainful: "Let me tell you, don't look at these people who are happy now, Unless they kill or buy people after they are busy, when everyone comes back from looting, those guys with dirty hands and feet will feel better."

"Oh, I only joined our gang last year. Seeing that you are very experienced, tell us about it. Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle."

After the bald confidant finished speaking, he also took out a pair of roasted chicken legs wrapped in cloth from his arms, first sniffed them intoxicated, and then handed one to the dog leg: "Don't worry, this is not stolen, it is my day I specially asked the guy who can cook among the arrested people to cook it for my elder brother, but his appetite has not been very good for the past two days, so he didn't eat, let's eat."

As soon as the dog leg heard that the roasted chicken leg was fine, it pretended to be relaxed and received it in its hand, and first sniffed it vigorously. Although it had just eaten dinner, the wheat flour paste mixed with wild vegetables was not at all full. At this time, the roasted chicken leg came It was so timely.

"Hiss~ It's delicious, it's delicious. Let me tell you, I've been in our gang for several years, and I've seen similar situations many times. Not to mention far away, let's take the one about the leader general 'Bandit Hand' last month." The fact that all the members of the gang were hanged originally originated from the fact that the leader led people out to do errands, and the people who stayed behind stole the belongings that several people hid."

"Oh, um. At that time, everyone was celebrating when they came back, but someone found that a large sum of money was missing from the money box hidden under the bed. It didn't spread, and the guy who lost money only informed his acquaintances After hearing the news, a few people didn’t celebrate. They went back and checked carefully, and found that they were short of money. These guys directly called the leader outside in private, and told the leader about it. Guess what happened later?”

The bald man absent-mindedly took a bite of the grilled chicken leg, and replied, "Didn't you say that all the 'bandits' responsible for staying behind were hanged to death."

The dog foot patted his companion on the shoulder, and said proudly: "That's the result, what happened? Our leader didn't even ask what happened to the 'bandits'. He directly led people to surround the 'bandits' and handed over their weapons. , and then hang people directly without torture, and the wealth of those people will be distributed to the damaged people."

After the dog's feet patted his companion's shoulders, he realized that there were oil stains on his fingers. He quickly put his fingers in his mouth and licked them clean, not letting go of any oil.

"Is it."

The bald confidant was not interested in this. He pretended to move his hands and feet, stood up and took two steps, leaning against the railing facing the gate. He looked at the roasted chicken leg in his hand, then at the bandit's dog's feet that hadn't eaten enough, barked, and threw the roasted chicken leg he had eaten to the other party.

"Then, I took a bite. I don't have much appetite, so take it and eat."

"Thank you, you can't even eat such delicious food? You must eat delicious food during the day! Haha."

The bald head pretended to blow the cool wind in the mountains at night, and the whole person turned around: "You say yes, that's all, don't eat too fast!"

"I know!" After finishing speaking, Goujiao didn't dislike being bitten by others. He opened his mouth and tore off the burnt chicken skin on the surface of the drumstick, and then licked the fat under the chicken skin with his tongue.

The bald confidant turned his back on his companion and looked out of the gate, but apart from the darkness of the night and the sound of the leaves being blown by the wind, there was no difference.

'If those people don't have the guts to come tonight, it will be troublesome. '

The bald confidant was thinking like this, and he suddenly realized something, and then he listened carefully, and found that there were two things missing in the farmland outside the village and the mountains and forests that were not next to each other.

The chirping of insects and the chirping of nocturnal birds should have been loud.

It's late spring, and people who are supposed to be noisy with bugs and raptors can't sleep, but it's too quiet tonight.

'Is it coming? '

Thinking of this, the bald confidant waved towards the night, but there was no response.

He thought hard for a while, and there was only the sound of dogs' feet sipping chicken bones on the gate of the village.

Wanting to understand what was going on, the bald confidant was about to take off his upper body clothes, but the surrounding mountain wind was still blowing, and it was still quite cold. He thought of a reason, then turned around pretending to be itchy and said, "Dogfoot, why is my body itchy! It's so itchy, scratch it for me!"

Goujiao threw the chicken bone into the brazier, and lazily mocked: "It must be that you don't wash clothes and take a bath, so you have fleas! Catch it yourself slowly."

"Hey, hey, you bastard, I just ate my chicken leg, and I can't ask you to do me a favor. It's so itchy, no, I can't take this dress anymore, I have to find someone to wash it with plant ashes and water. "

After finishing speaking, the bald-headed confidant quickly took off his clothes and threw them on the ground next to him.

Then he patted his body repeatedly with his hands, pretending to kill the fleas.

"It's much better now, really, we bully those we catch, these fleas bully us. It's comfortable now."

The dog leg cast a glance at the bald-headed confidant, and ignored it. He concentrated on cooking the fire. After eating, he was a little sleepy and lazy.

The bald confidant carefully paid attention to his companion's gaze, and then waved to the night outside the village gate.

This time, following the rustling noise not far away, a guy in a black bear's fur tiptoed over. The bald confidant opened his eyes wide, and finally saw the figure of the other party in the weak light.

Although the figure of the person outside the gate was difficult to recognize because of his black bear fur coat, the eyes of the other party were shining in the night, green and glossy, like a real beast.

That's the result of killing too many people, and the eyes of the leader of their 'Iron Bucket' are similar.

The man outside the gate rummaged through his body to find a bundle of rope, found the end of the rope and tied a knot, then threw it up, right in front of the bald confidant.

The bald-headed confidant hurriedly reached out to catch him. He glanced back in panic, and found that the dog's feet warming up the fire hadn't noticed the sound here. He was relieved, and carefully tied the rope in his hand to the wooden railing on the top of the gate. superior.

Seeing that he had tied the rope tightly, the man below pulled the rope in his hand first, and the railing didn't even shake. Among other things, the people of this village put their heart into building the defense facilities of the village.

However, most of the people in the village had fled earlier, and these defensive facilities had no effect. They made it easier for the bandits, and even became a powerful facility for the bandits to guard the captured people.

Once the gate is closed, facing the towering wall surrounding the village, the people who want to run have no chance at all.

The figure in black bearskin clothes was moving vigorously up the rope, and there was no extra movement at all except for the little sound of breathing hard.

Soon, the man reached the railing on the top of the gate with one hand. He first stared at the bald confidant who was shirtless, and then pointed to the left-behind robber who was warming up next to the fire.

This man's face was covered with a black cloth, only revealing a pair of beast-like eyes. Facing the bald confidant, he silently pointed to the bald confidant, then pointed to the dog's feet warming the fire, and finally pulled his finger on his neck.

The meaning is self-evident.

The bald-headed confidant hesitated, thinking of the explanation given to him by Guangtou during the day, and then turned around and walked slowly towards the brazier: "Ah, it's a bit cold, the wind blows the hair on my arms to stand up."

Goujiao nodded lazily: "Yeah, it's okay now, you don't know, when I was hiding from the knight lord in the mountains with our leader, I didn't even dare to light a fire to warm my body at night. The dog's eyes are sharp. After the smoke from the fire is illuminated by the fire at night, we ordinary people don't see it. Those dog riders can be seen from a long distance. This happened several times and caused everyone In the middle of the night, he was attacked by knights who came up."

Sighing, Goujiao went on to say: "Later, everyone learned how to behave. Either find the cave and make fire again, or endure the cold, get together to keep warm, eat some wild fruits that I don't know if they are poisonous, and tear raw meat with their teeth. After eating raw meat, many of my companions were covered with worms, and they could crawl out of their mouths and noses while sleeping. Those guys all died later. "

As if recalling the tragedy at that time, the dog's feet shuddered: "Later, the leader cut open those guys who starved to death with a knife, and their stomachs were full of parasites like earthworms. Ugh, no, listen I said nothing, if you see it with your own eyes, you will never forget it for the rest of your life."

After exhaling, the dog pointed to the crackling chicken bones in the brazier: "So no matter how hungry we are, we will not eat raw meat and only eat cooked food."

"Is it so miserable?"

The bald confidant said with a smile. After he finished speaking, he looked at the stairs up and down the gate platform and said in surprise: "Boss, why are you here?"

Goujiao felt strange and turned his head to look, but no one came up in his sight.

The next moment, he was thrown down by the bald-headed cronies, who tightly grabbed his throat with a big hand, making him unable to utter the words of begging for mercy. At the same time, there was also a sharp pain in the abdomen, which was the result of the bald confidant taking out his own self-defense dagger and continuously stabbing vigorously at the stomach of the fallen dog's legs.

Dogfoot struggled hard and hit the bald-headed confidant's head and face with his fist, but soon lost his strength. Seeing that he was dying, the bald confidant let go of the hand that was holding his neck.

"No, I'll eat you, two chicken legs..."

After saying this, the dog's feet stopped moving.

The bald confidant panted heavily, turned around and looked at the person who climbed up silently and climbed over the railing.

The man in a black bearskin suit nodded the dog's foot that looked dead, and rushed forward, knocking down the running dog's foot.

It turned out that Goujiao didn't die just now, but pretended. Although the abdomen was seriously injured, it didn't make people die quickly. On the contrary, the neck was strangled, which could easily suffocate people into a coma. So before Goujiao was unconscious, he pretended to be unconscious, in order to escape and warn.

But the man in black bear clothes saw through this method, rushed up and held down the dog's foot just as the dog's foot moved, and then twisted the dog's foot's neck.

Seeing the unbelievable and ashamed expression of his bald confidant, the man in black bear clothes spoke.

He said slowly: "Human life is very tenacious. Most of the time, no matter how many knives you get on your body, you will not die. But twisting the neck can always kill a person."

After a pause, he added: "As long as this person is not transformed from some monster."

The bald confidant was so ashamed that he didn't know what to say, so he could only ask, "Here, my lord, what's your name?"

The man looked at the bald-headed confidant, and said slowly: "Your captain, the guy nicknamed bald-headed, didn't he tell you?"

The bald confidant shook his head in embarrassment: "He just told me to take off my clothes tonight, and if I want to make merit, I will help you take down the gate of the village."

The man nodded: "Then, you have done a good job, come with me, and together we will open this door and let the brothers outside come in."

The bald-headed confidant looked at the lying on the ground, but stared at his dog's feet with a horrified expression on his face, and took the initiative to follow the man.

The two climbed down the stairs. Amidst the passionate moans of women and the unbridled panting of men from the village, they lifted the slanted wooden stakes fixed inside the gate, and then grabbed the concave hole at the joint of the gate together. Slotted handles, pulling the heavy wooden gates inwards, opened the gates.

The shirtless, bald confidant stood there, watching the man take out a tightly tied bag from his waist, and then untied the bag, releasing a bag of fireflies inside.

The little bugs were a little sluggish, but as they breathed in the fresh air, they fluttered their wings eagerly and flew up, and the luminous glands at the end of their abdomen also glowed a little bit fluorescently.

Seeing these gathered fireflies, in the field outside the village, one figure after another silently climbed up. These people rushed forward excitedly, and formed fighting groups in twos and twos to rush into the gate.

In a pair of urgent footsteps, the man in black bear clothes said to his bald confidant, "My name is Ken. People often call me 'Ken the Killer', and you are welcome to join my gang of bandits—" 'Dead Spot'. You're mine now."

The bald-headed confidant didn't know what to say, so after a while, he reluctantly said, "Yes, boss."

"Very good, come with me, let's find your original captain under the background of the battle. Someone else will take over the gate of the village."

"Okay, boss."

Kiel, who was sitting in the center of the refugee camp, suddenly felt something. He raised his head and looked towards the mountains and forests in the northeast direction.

He squinted his eyes, and found that in the seemingly dark night, there was a faint fire rising from that mountain forest. Although it is not obvious now, the smoke and flames tend to become larger.

"That direction..."

Xueyasite, who was eating with Kiel, widened his eyes, and said in the direction Kiel pointed: "Ah, there, it should be Xinqingquan Village. My sense of direction is very good, yes, it is Xinqingquan Village. Qingquan Village. Guaranteed, this is the confidence of a caravan guard who has worked for more than ten years. You know, on the grassland with no surface markings, even on cloudy nights, I can accurately identify the direction! "

After Xueyasite finished speaking, he was very proud, but he looked at Keir's face, and then asked, "What's wrong over there? You've been staring."

Keel used a wooden spoon to stir the cold minced bean soup in his bowl. Regardless of the solidified fat, he sent a spoonful to his mouth, chewed and swallowed, and said, "There's a fire there, and the fire is not bad." Small. If there is indeed Xinqingquan Village, then, tonight, something must have happened that some guys didn’t expect. Hehe, some people must have a headache.”

"Does it affect us?"

Blood Fang frowned, a little worried.

"It's okay, it's probably a good thing. Well, it's a good thing for us." Keir concluded.

Blood Yaster breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to eat bean soup and wheat porridge.

He talked so much before, but it finally made Kiel, who had no appetite, finally eat something. And when you’re away from home, it’s best not to waste food, because you can’t be sure how long it will take and how many things will happen between the next meal and this one.

Therefore, if you have the conditions, you must eat more, eat enough, and don't leave any leftovers.

-

The temporary camp of the 'Iron Barrel' bandits.

The leader of the bandit gang named 'Iron Bucket', Iron Bucket, was gritting his teeth and standing at the highest point of the temporary camp, looking in the direction of his lair.

There was a faint fire rising there.

You must know that his current location is a certain distance from Xinqingquan Village. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com If it weren’t for the bandits on guard who saw that the clouds where the village is located were strangely illuminated by fire, none of them would have known that the old lair had appeared. It's over.

And it must be a big deal at first glance.

"The bald head who should be drowned in the cesspit! Is this how you ¥#¥ help me guard the lair? Damn, damn, hell!"

After eating the luminous food that the bandits thought nobles only ate, the good mood that came from this was gone with a sentence of curses. The leader of the bandits looked at the other bandits around, and roared loudly: "Everyone ¥%¥ see what I am doing, pack up my things! Put the looted things here first, anyway, I can't lose them anyway, everyone else, follow me ¥%¥ !"

One of his confidantes and experienced bandits dissuaded him: "Boss! It's already night, if everyone moves in the forest at this time, they will get separated and something will happen!"

"That's right, among the dozens of us, when we return to the village, there will probably be only a dozen or so left, and the rest of us will gradually gather at dawn. Boss, think about it, you can't walk in the woods after dark!"

"So, you ¥%¥ want me to wait here until dawn? Fart! Come out, come out, come out with the guys who think they can walk at night, and come back to the village with me to teach those idiots who stayed behind! And those damned ones who are likely to rebel and set fire to escape slave!"

Following the call of the bandit leader, among the dozens of bandits, a dozen bandits who had the experience and ability to walk through the woods at night stood up and followed the bandit leader out of the temporary camp.

"Other people give me %¥% to stay in the camp honestly. When I come back at dawn, there is one less person, and everyone else who knows him will die! Do you understand!"

The bandit leader roared out these threatening words, and the bandits in the temporary camp nodded and sat down obediently.
