Chapter 42: Successful Rescue
Yang Congyi looked into the cave, only to see that the fire in the cave was still very bright, the distance between the entrance of the cave and the fire was only two zhang, and the light was clear, a bandit was sitting by the fire and napping, and the other bandits were completely gone.
He didn't have time to think about it, he dodged into the cave against the rock wall, quietly touched the bandit's back, covered his mouth with his left hand, and pulled the knife with his right hand on his neck, and the bandit went down to the underworld to report without making a sound.
After he got his hands on it, he lit the light of the fire, and did not find other bandits around, but he saw that there were holes in the hole, and there were at least five as far as the eye could see, and the other bandits should be in the small hole. He beckoned to the outside of the cave, and the catchers entered the cave one after another.
Five holes, four people in each hole, Yang Congyi quickly assigned the people, gave an order, and acted separately.
There are many torches in the cave, and each team takes one, lights the torch and quietly touches the holes.
Yang Congyi held a knife in front of him, and walked towards a cave with two catchers, and the man with the torch followed him. The cave was quieter, and only the sound of burning torches and the flickering of flames could be heard.
The hole is very deep, and he can't see the end after walking for a long time, and he can't see the fork in the road, Yang Congyi can't be sure whether he wants to go to the dark, he doesn't know if there is anyone in this hole, how the situation in other caves makes him very worried, if it's like this, it will be troublesome, once someone makes a mistake, such a deep hole has no time to take care of each other. Thinking of this, he was in a hurry, and quickened his pace and walked deeper.
After walking for a long time, he suddenly found that the cave was getting wider and wider, Yang Congyi immediately stopped, relying on the faint light of the torch, and found that it had finally come to an end, and the space of the cave not far away was the size of several rooms, and then looked closely at the faint more than ten people, sitting or lying. He suddenly began to worry, the three of them seemed to have no chance of winning in the face of so many bandits, but the matter had come to this point, and they absolutely couldn't retreat from the battle, fortunately, with a heart or a heart, there was still a chance to win.
The two catchers who followed Yang Congyi were the youngest and had almost no experience in handling cases, and it would definitely be bad for them to be at this critical moment, he said in a low voice, "Stay, don't move." With that, he tiptoed towards the sleeping bandits.
As concocted, the two bandits lying near the entrance of the cave went to see the king of Hades silently.
The cave was closed, and the smell of blood suddenly became stronger. Yang Congyi aimed at a bandit sitting against the wall of the cave, and was about to step forward to kill him, when suddenly a thunderbolt sounded behind him, "Who the hell kills chickens in the middle of the night, and doesn't let people sleep!" ”
Yang Congyi was startled by the sudden sound, and when he turned around, he saw that there was a small hole in the cave wall behind him, and there was a person lying in the cave, who was already half-straight and was about to sit up, probably to see who was disturbing his sleep. Yang Congyi didn't have time to think about it, he jumped over and stabbed the man in the chest, but the poor bandit's eyes had just opened, and before he could see what the person looked like, he died with a whimper.
The shouts of the bandits in the deep cave directly woke up the other people in the cave, and the thick blood rushed straight to the brain, the torches at the entrance of the cave were extremely eye-catching in the dark, and the bright knife light was very dazzling under the firelight, and the bandits who woke up instantly felt that danger was coming.
I saw the two bandits screaming in their mouths, and they didn't have time to put on their shoes, so they got up and ran to the entrance of the cave.
The two had no experience in fighting the enemy, and Yang Congyi was afraid that they would not be able to defeat them, so he let go of the bandits, and without thinking about it, he flew over and jumped over, kicked one over, and cut down another with his hand. Putting down the two bandits who wanted to flee for their lives, he hurriedly turned around and pointed his knife at the rest of the bandits who were still lying on the ground.
How many people there are, Yang Congyi can't see it really, but there must be a lot, and it doesn't seem that he wants to escape, the other party has already taken precautions, and he doesn't dare to rush forward.
After facing each other for about half a pillar of incense, Yang Congyi found that those bandits had no weapons around them at all, and he suddenly felt that victory was in sight, so he shouted to the catcher at the entrance of the cave, "Come here." ”
The two catchers were also startled by the strong smell of blood, and their legs trembled as they approached Yang Congyi.
Yang Congyi said, "Don't be afraid, they don't have a guy." ”
The two of them looked at Yang Congyi's face full of blood, and his legs could no longer move half a step.
Yang Congyi looked at their appearance, and could only sigh secretly, he still had to do it himself.
"Don't fucking grind, Lao Tzu is not afraid of death, hurry up and give Lao Tzu a knife, Lao Tzu is still waiting to be reincarnated." The lying bandit suddenly shouted.
Yang Congyi listened to it in his ears, felt that the voice was a little familiar, and he always felt that he had heard it somewhere, and tried his best to recall it, and suddenly his heart moved, and exclaimed, "Zhang Zhutou? Is that you? ”
"Brother Yang, it's us, it's us." The others in the dim darkness cried out in surprise.
Yang Congyi snatched the torch and stepped forward quickly, only to see a few people lying on the ground with their hands and feet tied, who was it not Zhang Biao and their group? Without saying a word, he hurried to untie the ropes for them.
Zhang Biao led people to leave the team without authorization, feeling ashamed, embarrassed to face Yang Congyi, and embarrassed to speak again.
After everyone's ropes were untied, Yang Congyi said, "Zhang Zhutou, after the brothers heard that you encountered bandits, they were very anxious and hurried to help, you are fine." ”
Zhang Biao hugged his fists and said, "Thank you brothers for coming to the rescue, I, Zhang Biao, am grateful." ”
Yang Congyi said, "Zhang Zhutou, everyone is a brother, so we should take care of each other, why do you need to say thank you." Now that the other brothers are scattered in various holes, I don't know what happened to them, so we hurried out to join you. ”
Zhang Biao said hello, grabbed the knife in his hand, and rushed out of the cave first.
Yang Congyi led people to follow, leaving the corpses of several bandits, and quickly left this bloody deep hole.
When I got to the outside of the cave, I saw that the other catchers were already waiting there, and after asking, I learned that only the cave he entered was the deepest, and the other caves were no more than five zhang deep, and there were few bandits in the cave.
After an investigation, a total of 16 bandits were found in the entire cave, and almost all of them were killed. Three of the people in the arrest encountered resistance from the bandits and were slightly injured, but the bleeding had stopped after being carved, and there was no major problem. This was a big victory, although everyone had palpitations, but there was no danger, the bandits were destroyed and the brothers were rescued, all of them were smiling, and the excitement was overflowing.
Everyone talked about the thrill of killing the bandits in the cave, but no one said how many brothers were rescued. Yang Congyi immediately asked, "Have you rescued anyone?" ”
Everyone shook their heads blankly, saying that they had not seen any other brothers who had been captured except for the bandits.
Yang Congyi personally rescued Zhang Biao and the four people, and the seven people who left with him were about to ask where Zhang Biao and the other three went.
But I heard Zhang Biao say remorsefully, "Don't look for it, they are all dead." Then he told the people about the day, "A few days ago, after a group of seven of us found the mountain road at the bottom of the mountain, we went up the mountain by the way, who knew that we were just bumped into by the bandits who came down the mountain, and we fought without saying a word, there were many bandits, we were not opponents, three brothers died on the spot, and the four of us were arrested up the mountain, and after the bandits found out that we were from the government, they locked us in the cave, saying that it would be useful to keep us, if you didn't come to the rescue, I don't know how long we will be imprisoned." ”
As soon as they heard that three brothers who had been together for many days had been killed, everyone's excitement suddenly disappeared, and everyone's hearts became heavy.
"Brother Yang, what should we do now? Do you want to go down the mountain?" There is a catcher asking.
"What kind of mountain to go down, the three of them were killed by bandits, how can they go like this, they must be avenged." Another catcher shouted excitedly.
Yang Congyi does not have a deep relationship with them, now people can't be resurrected, since he has rescued the living, he hopes to leave this dangerous place quickly, but these people have always been led by Zhang Biao, and now that there are fewer people, you have to ask him for his opinion. So he asked, "Zhang Zhutou, what do you say you should do?" ”
Zhang Biao didn't think about it, so he replied, "We can't just go like this, the three of them have been with me for many years, we can't let them die in vain, and none of these bandits can stay." The bandits who came down the mountain will be back in two days, and there are not many of them, and we can completely catch them. ”
Yang Congyi originally wanted to hurry down the mountain, but when he heard Zhang Biao say this, he knew that he was only thinking about revenge in his heart now, and forcibly pulling him might not be able to pull him away. Since he was going to stay and take revenge, the team could not be separated again. Judging from the combat effectiveness of the bandits in the cave, this group of bandits is commonplace, and it would be a great act of righteousness to eradicate them all. Then he said, "Okay, I agree with Zhang Zhutou's opinion. But there is one thing to explain, we are quick to catch the bandits, and it is our duty to eliminate the bandits, and we are not killing the bandits because our brother died, but because the bandits have done many evils and are extremely vicious. Therefore, the word revenge, everyone should not mention it in the future. ”
Zhang Biao said, "What Brother Yang said is that I, Zhang Biao, will no longer make decisions on my own." ”
Yang Congyi said, "It doesn't matter, as long as we work together, there is nothing that can't be done." Then he commanded the people, "Now go and carry out all the bandits, and do not put them in the hole." ”
Everyone acted in detachments, and Yang Congyi sat down to think about how to deal with other bandits. Feng Lin said that there were more than 30 bandits who went down the mountain, but Zhang Biao said that there were only a dozen of them, which was a big difference, and it was necessary to plan carefully.
The bandits were carried out of the cave one by one, and the smell of blood seemed to have faded.
"Brother Yang, there's still a living one here." When Yang Congyi heard this, he was overjoyed, okay, he was worried that he didn't stay alive, and he didn't know the specific situation of the other bandits, so there was a fish that slipped through the net.
A bandit was pushed in front of Yang Congyi, only to see that the bandit was so frightened that he couldn't even shout the word spare.
Hearing that there were still bandits who did not die, a group of catchers came over and were about to beat him, but Yang Congyi hurriedly stopped him. "What's going on?" ”
"Let's go carry the corpse, this son of a bitch, pretending to be dead, if I hadn't touched him and he was still hot, he would have deceived him." ”
"Kill him." "Kill him." The crowd was furious and demanded that the bandit be killed.
Yang Congyi said, "He has no ability to resist now, we can't kill him, we should bring him back to the Yamen for trial, so that we can exterminate the bandits and have a human witness, wouldn't it be better." ”
Zhang Biao said, "Brother Yang is right, tie up this kid and dispose of him after the other bandits are destroyed." ”
Although everyone hated in their hearts, Yang Congyi did have some truth in what he said, since he couldn't kill him, he had to beat him up to get angry, and then it was over.
Yang Congyi couldn't stop it, and he didn't bother to stop it, as long as he didn't kill him.
All the bandits were carried out of the cave and checked one by one to make sure that they were indeed dead, and when everyone returned to the cave to rest, it was already the middle of the night. Everyone tensed their nerves for an hour or two, and after dealing with everything, as soon as they relaxed, they quickly took a nap by the fire.
