Chapter 120: The Iron Kettle Head (4)
Shi Lang's slap on the head of the iron kettle actually only used his strength. The iron pot head only briefly appears to be unconscious. As soon as the wolves left, the iron kettle woke up.
"Ouch, you're trying to kill me. Not only me, but you, all of you, all of you, you are going to die! When he woke up, he saw that the two little wolf cubs were gone, and immediately cried.
"You brute, you still have a face to cry. You almost killed everyone, you know? Qiu Yunshang's anger did not subside.
"Mr. Qiu, you are discouraged. There seems to be something unspeakable in the words of the Iron Kettle Head Brothers. It's a good idea to ask first. Luo Shiyin walked up to Qiu Yunshang and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, today you will make it clear in front of all the clansmen, what are you hiding that is difficult to say?" Qiu Yunshang took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and said to the iron kettle.
"I ...... I ......" The iron kettle head secretly glanced at the clansmen around him, and he stopped talking.
"Say it quickly, third brother. You're really anxious to kill your second brother! Qiu Yunzhong saw that the third brother was hesitant and urged.
"I'm damned, I'm not human!" The iron kettle head suddenly raised his hands, opened his bow left and right, and fanned his mouth hard.
"Alright, don't do this trick. Do you even say it? Qiu Yunshang seemed to be accustomed to seeing the third brother's bitter tricks, and shouted disdainfully.
"I ...... I...... It's not that I don't say it, but I'm afraid that if I do, they will beat me to death. The iron kettle head glanced at the angry eyes around him, and said timidly.
"If you don't explain the truth of the matter today, you don't need them to do it, the eldest brother will kill you first. Second brother, family law is serving! At this time, Qiu Yunshang couldn't bear the third brother's iron kettle.
Hearing the eldest brother's order, Qiu Yunzhong walked quickly to the house. After a while, Qiu Yunzhong returned to the crowd, and in his hand there was a long Zitan ruler about one meter long.
Qiu Yunzhong deliberately slapped the Zitan ruler in his hand to make a crackling sound, in order to intimidate the third brother's iron kettle, hoping that he would not admit himself.
"Big brother, do you really bear to be cruel to my little brother?" The iron kettle head is still a fluke.
"Someone, press him to the ground and take off his pants!" Qiu Yunshang shouted to several young people behind him.
The two young juniors were ordered to walk up to the iron kettle, press the iron kettle to the ground, and began to remove his pants.
"Big brother, I said, I said!" Now the iron kettle is really scared.
The two young men who pressed the iron head guard let go of the iron kettle.
The iron kettle head stood up and said the origin of the two little wolf cubs in a rambling manner.
Three days ago, the iron kettle led the way out of the mountain for a merchant passing through. On the way back, he was passing through a wooded area when he heard the barking of a wolfdog inside.
Out of curiosity, he walked into the forest to see what was going on. He found a fenced courtyard deep in the woods, from which the barking of dogs could be heard.
The iron kettle head quietly walked into the courtyard and found several wooden houses in the courtyard. Probably due to the lunch break, the yard was quiet and empty.
The head of the iron kettle suddenly felt a thief, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the master of the yard to take a lunch break and go into the courtyard to steal something. He quietly pushed open the hidden fence gate and flashed into the courtyard.
But before he could find anything of value in the yard, he saw a sturdy wolfdog burst out of a wooden house and barked at him.
The iron kettle didn't have time to react, and was thrown to the ground by the wolfdog, he screamed in fright, and covered his face with both hands.
"Yamada—" Just as the iron kettle thought his life was in danger, a shout came from inside the wooden house.
The wolfdog, which was biting the arm of the iron kettle, heard the cry and immediately stopped attacking.
The iron kettle head didn't dare to get up, he lay on the ground and secretly watched, and saw several Japanese people with samurai swords coming out of the room and walking towards this side.
Several Japanese people approached the iron kettle, and one of them, who was thin and looked to be about forty years old, grabbed the rope around the wolfdog's neck, looked down at the iron kettle, and asked in not very fluent Korean, "Who are you?" ”
"Long ...... Official, me, me...... It's from the nearby village...... Good people are not bad people. Looking at the wolf dog pulled by the Japanese people with a rope and barking at him incessantly, the iron kettle head was so frightened that he couldn't even speak neatly.
"I see that you are not a good thing. Tie him up and throw him in a dog cage to feed the dog. The Japanese who led the dog commanded several other Japanese people.
"Sir, I am truly a good citizen. Spare your life, sir! The iron kettle desperately shouted for mercy.
The head of the iron kettle was twisted by several Japanese people, and then he was escorted to a wooden house by five flowers.
As soon as he entered the wooden house, the iron kettle head was startled by the barking of dogs one after another. I saw that the gloomy wooden room was full of single rooms separated by Tie Lingzi. In each single room, there are several fierce wolf dogs with different postures. Seeing that someone had come in, the wolf dogs in the cage all rushed to the cage and barked at the people outside through Tie Lingzi.
"Sato-kun, throw this thief into that dog cage? A Japanese man with an iron kettle asked the emaciated man with a wolf dog in his hand.
"Just throw it in the cage where the wolf cubs are kept. I'm afraid these wolf cubs haven't eaten human flesh for a long time. This little wolf cub is so hard to get! The Japanese people known as Sato ordered.
"It's a pity that this guy is too thin, and a few little wolf cubs can't nibble on a few bites." Several Japanese people raised the head of the iron kettle high, ready to lift him over the top of the iron lingzi and throw him into the cage.
Hearing the words of the man named Sato, the iron kettle seemed to see the last straw, and he was held up in the air, and almost used the last bit of strength in his body to shout: "Sir, I can help you get wolf cubs!" ”
"Slow down, put him down!" Sato heard the words of the iron kettle and immediately ordered. Second Chinese Network
The iron kettle head who was put on the ground sighed, his whole body already soaked with sweat.
"Untie him." Sato continued to command.
The rope that binds the iron pot head is loosened. The iron kettle head moves his hands and feet comfortably.
"You said you could help us get the little wolf cubs, are you serious?" Sato asked the iron kettle.
"Really. I often walk in this mountain and know the habits of wild wolves. Absolutely! The iron kettle head said with a full breath.
"Well, let's not feed you to the wolf cubs yet. When you go back, get us wolf cubs. Otherwise, it will kill you. Sato said, staring at the iron kettle.
"No problem." The iron kettle head said with confidence.
"Oh, by the way, which village are you from?" Sato asked.
"I'm in the rocks inside the Black Wind Mouth. Hey, sir, may I ask, what do you want wolf cubs for? Seeing that his life was worry-free, the iron kettle's curiosity suddenly rose.
"Since you have promised to do things for us, you may as well tell you. We raise the wolf cubs and then mate them with our military dogs in order to breed better dog breeds for our Japanese army. Sato said lightly.
"Clever, really clever! That's it, I'll go back and get the wolf cubs for you. The iron kettle got up and wanted to leave.
"Wait, give you three days, and get the wolf cubs to send over. The more the merrier. Maybe I'll be happy and give you a reward. However, if you play tricks on us, when the deadline comes, if we don't see the wolf cubs, we will immediately send troops to your village to capture you and the whole village and feed the dogs. Remember? Sato threatened the iron kettle.
"Remembered, remembered. Sir, just wait for my good news. See you later! The iron kettle said, turning and walking out the door.
When the iron kettle came to the courtyard, he saw that the entire courtyard was already full of Japanese soldiers, who were holding weapons and practicing in a neat queue.
The iron kettle head passed through the gap between the trained Japanese soldiers, and kept nodding their heads to greet each other. But the Japanese soldiers were all concentrated on training, and no one paid attention to him.
"That's how it happened. Those two little wolf cubs were a lifesaver for us. Without them, our entire village would have died. At the end, he sat on the ground and sighed.
"No wonder I saw you sneaky for the past two days, it turned out that you were doing things for the Japanese people." After listening to the introduction of the iron kettle, Qiu Yunshang immediately thought of the third brother's sneaky deeds in the past two days.
"Then did you put down the noose in the forest to trap the little wolf cub?" Qiu Yunzhong asked.
"Who said no, I wanted to take advantage of the heavy snow to put on a few more wolf cubs, so that I could go to the Japanese people to receive the reward. Which Cheng thought, the wolf didn't trap, but he trapped himself. I almost lost my life. The iron kettle looked frustrated.
"I think you deserve it, wandering around all day with nothing to do. Do you think that the money of the Japanese people is so easy to earn? You're dying! Qiu Yunshang pointed to the nose of the iron kettle and said loudly.
"Mr. Qiu, from the words of the old brother of the iron kettle just now, it is estimated that the time limit agreed by the Japanese and him has expired today." Luo Shiyin reminded Qiu Yunshang, who was still angry.
"Yes, you see I'm all mad at him." Qiu Yunshang turned around and said to Luo Shiyin.
"Brother Iron Kettlehead, how many Japanese people do you estimate were practicing in the courtyard at that time?" Luo Shiyin asked the iron kettle.
"It is estimated that there are nearly 100 people, to say the least." The iron kettle replied almost without thinking.
"Big brother, did we plan ahead of time? Once the Japanese send troops, we will have to be prepared. Qiu Yunzhong reminded the eldest brother.
"Prepare what? How to prepare? As far as there are more than a dozen households in our area, the most people who can fight are a dozen or so. You didn't hear what he just said, the Japanese have a team of nearly 100 people. Hey, big brother, I'm sorry for the dead ancestors and ancestors, and I regret that I shouldn't have pampered him, so that it would harm the whole clan. It's all my fault! Qiu Yunshang sighed and said to the second brother.
"Mr. Qiu, you don't have to be too pessimistic. I think the situation in this black tuyere is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as we plan well, we may not be able to annihilate the enemy in the future. Luo Shiyin persuaded Qiu Yunshang.
From the meaning of Luo Shiyin's words, it can be heard that he has decided to stay and fight together with the villagers.
Luo Shiyin made such a decision not out of a whim, he made such a decision after deep thought. Imagine, if the team withdraws to protect themselves, it is almost impossible to get out of this vast snow-capped mountain without a competent guide. If you don't get it right, you will be wiped out.
On the way into the Black Wind Mouth, Luo Shiyin had carefully observed the terrain in the valley. With this kind of steep terrain and thick snow, the team can unite the people in the village who can fight, take advantage of the geographical advantage, and deal a severe blow to the invading enemy, and wipe out the opponent in this black wind mouth.
As long as the future enemy is eliminated, not only can the lives of the villagers be saved, but he will not be worried that he will not agree to be a guide for the team. Even if the iron kettle head didn't agree, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure from the two brothers and the villagers.
"Dear friends, I have seen that you are by no means ordinary people. As long as you can help the village through this difficult time, you are the great benefactor of our whole village! Hearing Luo Shiyin's words, Qiu Yunshang seemed to see a savior.
"Don't worry, man. These are battle-hardened people. I'm sure I'll help you get through this! Li Ruzhu patted Qiu Yunshang on the shoulder and said.
"Alright, everyone come here, let's kneel down for the heroes. The lives of our entire village were entrusted to a few heroes. The whole village, young and old, obeyed the transfer of a few heroes! Qiu Yun gave an order, and all the villagers present knelt in front of the team members.
"Oh, Mr. Qiu, what are you doing here? Everyone, please get up! Luo Shiyin hurriedly stepped forward to help Qiu Yunshang and motioned for everyone to get up.
When Qiu Yunshang stood up, the villagers behind him stood up one by one.
"I think, let's hurry up and sum up, maybe the Japanese will come tomorrow." Luo Shiyin said to Qiu Yunshang.
"Okay, heroes, please come in the house!" Qiu Yunshang respectfully invited the team members into the room for a detailed discussion.
