Chapter 21: Ambush
People in this era are more or less suffering from night blindness, which boils down to a lack of vitamin A, in fact, cod liver oil and carrots are rich in this substance, but where can normal people have the opportunity to eat this good thing. So for the bandits who Zheng is running helplessly in the dark, even if there is no cover on the trap, they may step on it.
But for these young lads who hunt in the mountains, there is no need to worry about this problem. Because the fish they usually catch from the stream and the water of the prey they hunt are rich in this vitamin, it is enough to ensure that they also have bright eyes in the dark.
There are not many people Li Xinchen has with him, and most of them are still handed over to Zheng Qing, the future brother-in-law, and Zheng Qing's main task is to set all kinds of traps on the mountain road. When the bandits are frightened away from the fire and run into the darkness by the approaching ghost fire, these traps, which are not necessarily visible in broad daylight, become the deadliest threat.
For example, there are many such traps around Zhang Er now. He was next to the group of people closest to the ghost fire, and he was naturally behind the middle hall of the panicked bandit brigade. The little boss who fled in a panic with him had fallen into the pit without a sound, and most of the rest of the people had disappeared into the darkness, Zhang Er knew very well that they were now lifeless, and he didn't know how many of his family's corpses were filled in these traps around him.
"Brother Zhang, run! The fire, the fire caught up! The ghost clever mountain monkey shouted in the dark, I don't know why this guy's eyes are so good, he discovered the ghost fire just now, and now in the panicked crowd, he is also the first, and perhaps the only one who notices that Zhang Er is still in the back.
Zhang Er followed the direction of the sound and looked in the direction of the mountain monkey, and in the dim light of the torch jumping, he clearly saw a slender black shadow rushing towards the mountain monkey. The whirring wind drove the sleeves of Zhang Er and the mountain monkeys.
Without waiting for Zhang Er to speak, the mountain monkey was obviously aware of the impending danger behind him, and almost subconsciously bowed down, but it was too late, a bamboo gun directly pierced the mountain monkey's chest under Zhang Er's dumbfounded gaze, and hot blood gushed out along the bamboo spear, sprinkling the mountain monkey's clothes and land.
The mountain monkey, who has been shrewd for more than 20 years, probably did not expect that he would fall under a bamboo spear used to assassinate and block his prey. The bloody hands clenched the bamboo spear, and at this moment he already knew very well that this was not the anger of the mountain god at all, but someone had set a trap and waited for them to come to the door.
In this dark bamboo forest, the master was never a mountain god, but another group of enemies they had never even fought before, a group of enemies who they might have been teasing and mocking just now. The mountain monkey licked his lips lightly and muttered: "Lao Tzu has killed a lot of people in his life, and there are many women who have played, and it is not for nothing, and it is not for nothing······
"Mountain monkeys!" Zhang Er's voice was already crying, the mountain monkey couldn't see it, but he could clearly see that two figures were rushing out of the bamboo forest behind, but Zhang Er knew that at this time, his own life might not be saved, not to mention the mountain monkey who had been pierced through the chest by the bamboo gun.
This bamboo gun came really fast, accurate, and ruthless.
The mountain monkey was obviously a little unwilling to look back, who killed him, but the bamboo spear inserted into his chest was directly pulled out, and the blood gushed like a tide, and it couldn't be stopped. The mountain monkey fell to his knees on the ground, was kicked again, and finally fell to the ground weakly.
The horse stumbles on its front hooves, but it can still stand up strongly; But the monkey had broken his hand, and he couldn't run.
"It's really this guy." Li Qiu smacked his lips, just now in the dark, he saw what this guy said and did, he didn't expect that there was a wrong, a debtor, and this guy was still killed by his own bamboo gun.
"Hurry up and clear the people behind!" Li Xinchen actually saw a dead person for the first time, and it was so many dead people, while swallowing foam, he patted Li Qiu's shoulder heavily, and rushed forward quickly, just now it was he who recognized the mountain monkey at a glance in the dark, so he decisively let Li Qiu next to him do it.
Even if you don't hesitate to reveal your identity, you have to slaughter this guy first, this kind of flamboyant but most morale-boosting guy is definitely a scourge to keep, so it's better to get rid of it first.
Now Li Xinchen's only happiness is that it is now said that it is a dark sky, not only can these enemies not see anything, although these young people who follow him will not be unable to see the road clearly, but there is no fire to shine, and they can't see the many corpses around here, otherwise I am afraid that including Li Xinchen, they will have to can't help but vomit.
After all, these are living people, not animals, even in this era, human life is like a mustard, when the first time you see a dead person, no one can remain indifferent.
Li Xinchen didn't know where he got the strength, so he flew up and kicked the corpse of the mountain monkey into the pit next to him, while Li Qiu gritted his teeth and led the young people behind him to jump up and knock down Zhang Er, who had fallen to his knees in fright.
The footsteps gradually dissipated, obviously the bandit brigade had disappeared, and Li Qiu kicked Zhang Er under his feet in a little anxious, with a foul smell in the mountain wind, obviously Zhang Er couldn't help but pee his pants.
"What a coward, Brother Chen, how are we going to clean him up?" Li Qiu scolded and looked up at Li Xinchen.
Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and waved down fiercely, directly beckoning the people around him to follow him, and chased after him closely, Zheng Qing They set traps in front of them and constantly disturbed the bandits, and although their team of people is not large, it is the most important, responsible for solving all the thieves who are struggling in or outside the trap, the mountain monkey and Zhang Er are just two of them, Li Xinchen doesn't want to delay things because of this, so that the bandits have a chance to come back to their senses.
"Brother, let's ······" A young man who followed Li Qiu was his cousin, and when he looked at Zhang Er, who was trembling, he suddenly hesitated. Zhang Er was trembling, and his hand holding the sickle was not trembling?
"You're a coward too!" Li Qiu gritted his teeth and said, snatched the sickle from the kid's hand, and cut off Zhang Er's head with the knife in his hand, the sharp sickle directly cut the blood vessels, and the hot blood sprayed on Li Qiu's face, and Li Qiu's expression was a little terrifying in the faint firelight.
"Brother ·····" That kid's legs were weak, if it weren't for Li Qiu dragging him, I'm afraid he would be sitting on the ground.
Looking at the direction in which Li Xinchen disappeared, Li Qiu said in a deep voice: "Brother, you have to remember that these bandits are here to ask for our lives, and if we want to save our lives, the only way is to take their lives first, and ······ otherwise."
Li Qiu paused, and his voice changed from trembling to becoming more and more indifferent: "There is no choice. ”
The young man only came to his senses at this time and nodded slowly.
And Li Xinchen heard Li Qiu's words from a distance, and couldn't help but show a helpless smile.
This troubled world forces people to mature and force people to be indifferent!
Li Qiu is like this, he Li Xinchen, why is it not like this?
