Forty or fifty miles away from the city, there is a slightly higher terrain boundary, commonly known as "thief slope", only because the slope is littered with stones, coupled with dense forests, many branches and leaves, there is a momentum of covering the sky and covering the sun.

The only official road leading to the town is through the woods. I heard that the name of this "mountain thief slope" still has a lot of origin. About ten years ago, when this place was still harmonious, there were not a few people coming and going on this official road alone. At that time, there were wealthy merchants from outside the town who drove horse-drawn carriages back and forth to do business, and they looked like they were thriving. I don't know where the bandits came from, maybe they were occupied by someone, or maybe they had a bad livelihood and were forced to flee from their homeland, but in short, they set up camp on this slope. Relying on the congenital geographical conditions on the slope, he made a living by robbing businessmen who came and went, and made a lot of money.

Different from other bandits, this group of people is especially murderous, not only robbing money, but also hurting people's lives for no reason, whether young, strong, old or young, everything that does not please the eye will be caught first, women for sexual pleasure, men will stay tortured, after experiencing all kinds of torture, when people are about to die, they are left in the mountains and forests, left to fend for themselves. Since then, there have been many accidents on this slope, and I only know that there are many people who go in, but few people come back alive.

When the official heard that there was such a thing, he sent a dozen strong and good men, carrying good bows, sharpening their knives, and preparing them to go with them to encircle and suppress the bandits.

In order to avoid startling the snakes, the group relied on the cover of the trees to hide and advance, and went deep into the forest for a long time before they found the den of the bandits near the center, and the leader was still thinking about how the road went smoothly, why did he not see a sentry person, thinking that it was probably because this group of thieves had become arrogant these days, and relaxed their vigilance a little.

Since there is less defense, it is easy to start.

The leader gathered everyone to discuss and quietly entered the thieves' den in the evening when it was dark, and eliminated the thieves in one fell swoop. You've already made a plan, just wait for the time to act.

Seeing that it was getting late, the group was already on standby, and under the order of the leader, several people rushed into the thieves' den with torches, and the momentum was very high for a while. The team that started before kicked open the door, shouting the word "kill" before it could be spoken, and then it was stunned, and the people behind pushed and complained that the front was slow, so they squeezed in desperately, and when everyone entered the hall, everyone really didn't dare to speak.

I saw that the center of the hall was full of corpses, and it was those thieves who were dressed up in eight or nine.

People were piled up on top of each other, forming a small mountain, and a rough estimate was that there were more than 20 people, all of whom were staring at each other with wide eyes and open their mouths in horror, as if they had seen something that they should not have seen in their lives.

The person did not seem to have been dead for a long time, and the blood that had not yet dried up flowed down the corners of the mouth, eyes, and nostrils, wetting the placket of the clothes, and then slowly dripping from under the soaked placket, flowing directly to the ground, gathering into a large pool of red blood, and the heavy smell of blood filled the whole room, which was disgusting.

A few people who couldn't hold on were already a little uncomfortable when they saw the appearance of the dead before, and they couldn't hold on anymore when they smelled blood, no matter whether there were people around them or no one, they covered their stomachs and vomited out, and the things in their stomachs were almost vomited, but they still couldn't stop, and even spit out a little bile.

The person who took the lead was a small servant at the time, named Wang Wu, who was stunned and suppressed the cold and leaned forward, seeing that there were no external injuries on his body, thinking that the dead people were bleeding from the seven orifices, and it was estimated that he had suffered internal injuries, so he reached out and touched the dead person's body, this touch was terrible, only felt that the deceased's body was lying on his stomach, as if there were no bones, and then he suddenly made Wang Wu startled again, all the bones were broken, and no one was left intact.

Is it an accident or a man-made? I don't know, but most people know in their hearts like a mirror that what they know is the answer they least want to know.

In order to rest in peace, and not wanting more people to see such a cruel side, he burned the entire den of thieves with a fire, looking at the raging flames, and shining the surroundings brightly. This scene has become a scene that the people present can't erase but don't want to remember.

No one wanted to pursue the case, and in the end, it ended up with an accidental death and was hastily closed.

Overnight, no one in the bandits' den was spared, and the news spread in the town, and some people sighed, "This is the cycle of cause and effect, if you do something harmful, even if you escape human punishment, you can't escape heavenly punishment." ”

So this slope fell into the name of "thief slope", and it has been until today.

The Bandit Slope has always been inaccessible, and those who are familiar with the road would rather take difficult paths to bypass the forest.

It's just that in the quiet forest in the past, today it is a little quiet, and it seems that someone is chattering.

Listening carefully, it was a conversation between two people, and lo and behold, there were two people hiding behind the stone.

The two men were dressed in ordinary clothes, but they were all exactly the same. Coarse cloth shirt and linen trousers, but one person holds a saber in his hand, and the other carries a double-plate axe, looking at the appearance, it is difficult to tell what the difference is, it is actually a pair of twins.

Those who are familiar will know who these two people are at a glance. The eldest is nicknamed "Turning the Sky Dragon", called the old ghost, and the second is called "Covering the Tiger", named the little ghost, the two brothers are famous thieves in the south of the Yangtze River, but now they have come to the northern boundary.

The little ghost looked around uneasily, how to see how he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see anything wrong, thinking of the rumors he heard a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart, and moved closer to the old ghost: "Brother, I heard that this place used to be a den of thieves, and then it was destroyed overnight, and now those dead ghosts refuse to leave, and wander around from time to time, saying that they want to find the people who killed them, so that they can be cut by a thousand knives, and life is better than death." As soon as I came in, I felt that this place was very weird, and there was a cold atmosphere everywhere, so it couldn't be that there were ghosts wandering around at this time, right?"

The old ghost slapped him on the head when he heard the "snap", and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, I think we haven't experienced anything back then, but we have been to a more eerie place than this a few times, if there were ghosts in this world, we would not have died a long time ago." ”

When the little ghost heard it, what he said made sense, and he nodded and said: "What my brother said is reasonable, but I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if there are really ghosts, do you say that those tragically dead souls back then will be angry after so many years, plus they are old and dizzy, and they regard us as their enemies." ”

The old ghost wanted to endure his temper very much, but he couldn't help it, and this younger brother was whimsical, his thinking was really active, and he gave a hammer "Nonsense, we are most afraid of thinking too much in this industry, and if you do this again, I am afraid that you will not wait for the ghost to retaliate against you, and you will scare yourself to death first." ”

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, the leaves grinded, rustling, the already uneasy realm was even more weird, the little brother felt even colder in his heart, and felt that the hairs on his body were standing up, and there was no place from the scalp to the feet that was not numb. Turning his head and accidentally sweeping the woods on the side, a black shadow flickered, and he was suddenly startled, "Brother, then, there's something there." ”

The old ghost was startled by this at a glance, and he was also frightened, jumping to look back, a saber was tightly in my hand, ready to defend myself at any time, but I saw nothing unusual except for the stone and the tree, so I mustered up the courage and shouted to the forest: "Who is it?" The sound passed through the layers of trees, reverberating in the forest, startling the resting birds to fly up a large area.

The old ghost only then understood, what a black shadow, it is estimated that it was a bird flying in front of him, and he was so angry that he wanted to laugh, and scolded: "You bastard, don't be suspicious here, next time you look like this, don't blame me for not taking you out in the future." ”

The little ghost only felt aggrieved in his heart, he saw something just now, but he thought about it in his heart, and he still held his mouth and said reluctantly: "Got it." ”

The two of them got up from behind the stones, walked deeper, looking for a place where the forest was more dense, the old ghost examined the surrounding environment, not far away is the official road, perhaps because of the topography, the road here has become much narrower than other places, and there are rocks around, it is a good place to rob houses. He gestured to the little ghost, motioned for him to lean over, muttered to him in his ear, and asked, "Do you understand?"

The imp nodded: "Understood." ”

The old ghost said, "Okay, let's get started." ”

The imp stopped him in time, "But there's another problem." ”

"What's the problem?"

The little ghost looked puzzled and said, "Do you see if there are any people around this place, why do you want to talk to me in my ear?"

The old ghost didn't say a word when he heard it, and went up with a kick, "As long as you talk a lot, go to work." As he spoke, he thought as he walked: yes, obviously there is no one, who can I be afraid of hearing it, stupid.
