Chapter 228: The Strange Biyun Town (2)
Biyun Town is a small mountain town, at the junction of the Central South Bu Zheng Si and the Central North Bu Zheng Si, a street is east-west, there are five or six criss-crossing alleys, sitting all kinds of people.
All year round, the town is full of yin and strange spirits, and the faces of men, women, and children, all in the town, are sallow, bloodless, and lifeless, as if the people of the whole world owe them debts, and it is rare to see them laugh a few times a year.
The most puzzling thing is: the government has sent the mayor down several times, less than ten days after taking office, he was done in secret, and it was clean and neat, and no trace could be found, so scared that no one dared to come to the post, since then Biyun Town has less court officials, and the people in the town are "autonomous", and they dare not send tax officials to collect taxes, lest the taxes cannot be collected, but they lose their lives.
Few people come in from the central and southern political divisions, and the businessmen of the central and northern political divisions can take advantage of the void to enter, which is rich in mineral resources, copper ore, and tin ore is very huge, and hire people to dig a hole in the mountain, you can dig out the ore, and set up a blast furnace in the valley, you can smelt the ore, and then transport it back to the central and northern parts to make money. Lack of government management, local ** people have raised their heads, collect protection fees, it has become their way to make money, gather more than a dozen big men, set up a card on the road, you can collect tolls, the boss of the mine, in addition to recruiting workers, but also recruit more than a dozen thugs who can do kung fu, in addition to managing miners, but also to deal with the entanglement of the gangsters who come to collect maintenance fees, and the social order has become messy.
Despite this, this is indeed a paradise for adventurers, as long as they are not afraid of death, people who want money and do not die, can get a piece of the pie here, and can even earn a full cup of money, raising a brain full of fat, which is the reason for the sharp increase in the foreign population.
Team Leader Yi reported: "These are all news collected by the brothers, because the people here in Duanzhou are afraid of death, there are not many businessmen involved in Biyun Town, and the things they know are also limited, so they will wait for the special envoy to go in, and then slowly understand!" ”
"No wonder as soon as I followed them into Biyun Town, I felt that there was a lot of demonic energy, and I always smelled a familiar aura in Death Valley, which surprised me, and I didn't dare to stay in the inn in the town rashly, it turned out to be really yin!" Fang Lei understood the reason.
When Hong Xi'er heard this, she asked in astonishment: "Is it possible that there is a big devil in the mountains of Biyun Town who eats people without blinking?" ”
Fang Lei smiled: "It's hard to say!" In Peach Blossom Town, haven't you also heard that in the valley road of Death Valley, as long as outsiders walk in for more than a zhang, they will foam at the mouth, paralyze all over the body, fall to the ground and die? ”
"Brother Fang, don't be scary, it's no better than Death Valley, so many businessmen can go in, not to mention that I'm a woman?" Hong Xi'er said.
Fang Lei didn't dare to scare her, this time he entered Biyun Town, he really needed her help by his side, but he had to cheer up his spirit to ensure her safety, so he asked, "Xi'er!" Do you want to follow me into Biyun Town this time, I respect your personal wishes, you are willing to stay in Duanzhou City, or go back to Qingfeng Village first! ”
Hong Xi'er replied very simply, and said, "Brother Fang! There is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and the concubine will follow you to break through! ”
"That's good! Let's set off tomorrow morning, but you must be obedient and don't make your own decisions, what are we going to deal with there are not only big drug lords and underworld forces, but also demons and monsters? Fang Lei said solemnly.
As soon as she heard that there were demons and monsters, Hong Xi'er's heart was also a pang, in her imagination, these monsters should be the kind of people with green faces and fangs, cannibals who don't spit out bones, even if people's martial arts are high, they can't be their opponents, because they are inhumane and lifeless monsters, but Brother Fang once defeated them with his peerless magic skills, and exterminated them, and it must be okay to follow him.
Hong Xi'er smiled and said, "If you obey your orders, you can get it!" ”
When the two came to Biyun Town, it was the twilight time, the streets seemed deserted, pedestrians were sparse, and they looked hurried, they should have forgotten what necessities to buy during the day, and had to come out to buy them, and on both sides of the street, there were already many shops that had been opened, and they had to knock on the door to buy them.
At this time, the yin wind was gusting, Hong Xi'er felt that her back was also cold, Fang Lei hurriedly hugged her shoulder, and comforted her in a low voice: "Xi'er don't need to panic, this Biyun Inn in front of her is very masculine, and it is likely that the people who stay in it are all martial arts righteous figures, and they should be very safe!" ”
Hong Xi'er nodded, followed Fang Lei in, and felt much more down-to-earth in her heart.
For the sake of safety, Fang Lei asked for a first-class room with a hall, let Hong Xi'er live in it, and he lived in the hall to protect her, anyway, if you are not familiar with life, it is better to be careful.
In the middle of the night, Fang Lei suddenly heard a slight noise outside the window, he thought it was a gangster who climbed up to the window of Hong Xi'er next door, and hurriedly came to the window in front of his hall, and gently opened the window door to see that there were already three black shadows crawling to the window not far from the next door, and someone had already taken out a dagger and was prying the window door.
He thought that the thief was committing a crime, and the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he resolutely pulled off a piece of dirt from the windowsill and threw it at the thief with the dagger.
At this moment, only a scream of "ouch" was heard, the person was hit by the wrist of the dagger, and suddenly rolled down from the wall, and the three of them fell to the ground together, unable to get up, Fang Lei suddenly remembered: The three of them can stick to the mud wall like a gecko, and their skills are so high, they are by no means as simple as ordinary thieves.
After he realized this, he immediately slid down from the window, blocking their way, and Hong Xi'er also jumped down from the window and stood by Fang Lei's side.
The three of them only fell, they were not injured, they had already stood up, and one of the small leaders saw Fang Lei and Hong Xi'er, thinking that it was a little couple, and said sarcastically: "You two don't go to live your own good life, what are you running out to do?" ”
Hong Xi'er sneered: "It's the middle of the night, then why don't you rest well and run out to pry other people's windows and doors?" ”
"Humph! A little white face and a milky little girl who want to block Lao Tzu's way? But the little boss didn't take the two of them seriously.
As he spoke, more than a dozen people suddenly jumped down from the window in a row, and one of the old men said loudly: "With us, we should be able to block your way, right?" ”
None of these people are thieves, but some professional killers who kill for a living, and what about accomplices?
