Chapter Forty-Eight: Exploring Leopard's Head Mountain (Part 2)
When the bandit Ma Qi heard Yan Ruofei ask, he was so frightened that he hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands and nodded his head and replied: "Good man, big man, I say, I will say everything." ”
March cried and complained as he spoke, hiding some of the things about the bandits' den in Leopard Head Mountain, and some of them were full of tongues and nonsense.
Leopard's Head Mountain is a branch of the Kunyu Mountains extending northward, and it is also the most steep mountain in the vicinity.
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking at the mountain from the west, in the upper part of the mountain abruptly protrudes a lifelike leopard head, the fierce eyes, the wide mouth open, you can see from afar, the leopard's head mountain is therefore named, which dynasty the name comes from, but there is no way to study.
Before the little devils entered the area of Xinmu City, Leopard Head Mountain was just a mountain that few people went up to, and there were only a few small thieves in the mountain who robbed houses and houses, and they couldn't make big waves.
Since the little devil came, he went to the countryside twice in three days to clean up, and when he saw the grain, he grabbed the grain, and the grains were not left, and all the large and small livestock were snatched away. Arrest laborers and people's husbands, dig trenches and repair artillery towers, and make a fuss for the people.
As soon as the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law in the village heard that the little devil was about to enter the village, she was so frightened that she hid in Tibet.
Some young and middle-aged people were forced to have no way out, and secretly went up the mountain to become bandits, and in this big dye vat, there were lynx pirates, poor people, and some ruffians who killed people and oversold goods.
The current bandit nest is three sects and nine streams, with complex compositions, more than 100 people gathered, more than a dozen broken guns, and noisy black smoke miasma, which cannot be said to be a tumor in this area, but it can also be called a gathering place for unkind people, a bandit nest with mixed good and bad conditions.
Ma Kui, the big boss of Leopard Head Mountain, is an old oilman who has been in the old warlords for many years, he is insidious and cunning, ruthless, and not a good person.
Song Zhiming, the second master, was born poor, studied in private school for a few days since he was a child, and was a literate and hyphenated character in Leopard Head Mountain, who was more kind, resourceful, and calculating, and he was also a recognized master of Leopard Head Mountain.
Li Mang, the third master, is five big and three thick, with sideburns and beard on his face, short-tempered, igniting a fire, three sentences can bring out two sentences of scolding, and his heart is not bad, but he often does bad things with good intentions, and everyone who makes trouble is not happy.
The fourth master is this March, who has no ink, is narrow-minded, and is a very calculating villain.
According to the information they received, a wave of profiteers smuggled grain into the mountain through the foot of Leopard Head Mountain, and Li Mang, the third master, shouted: "What the hell, how can you let go of the fat that was sent to the mouth?" If you don't do it, you're sick in the brain. ”
The cottage hurriedly ordered to go down, and Li Mang led the team to set up an ambush on the road that the grain merchants must pass, and robbed the people with the grain up the mountain, left the grain, and notified the grain merchants to raise heavy money for ransom.
Unexpectedly, the first wave of business encountered was the wounded and sick of the squad, just as the squads were sitting on the mountain beams to discuss things, they heard that a few people who were in good health were waiting at the meeting and place first, and the others were slowly following behind, and said that there might be a few more people behind, and this group of bandits immediately started evil thoughts.
Li Mang, the third master hidden behind the tree, scolded in a low voice: "I'm X, I've met a few poor soldiers, it's really bad luck." ”
Ma Qi, the fourth leader next to him, whispered in the night: "Third brother, we are idle, don't underestimate these poor soldiers, look at the guys in their hands in the dark are good things, don't do it in vain." ”
"Grandma's, what the fourth said makes sense, I especially see the opportunity to do something special, and tell me to go down, don't make a move, if anyone runs away from the water, I will kill him." Li Mang commanded in a low voice.
After the bandits waited for Yan Ruping to take the three of them away, the seven or eight people behind them waited for an opportunity to pounce, crushed several wounded and sick people who were already exhausted to the ground, tied them up and brought them back to Leopard Head Mountain by Li Mang, and Ma Qi took a few people to continue the ambush, waiting for Yan Ruofei to follow them.
They hid in the woods and bushes, and after a short time they heard the footsteps and conversations of several people from the bottom of the mountain, and when they came to the front, they found three black shadows, and the bandits were trying to make a move, and they heard a woman say to each other that it would be convenient.
The woman who spoke walked under a tree, it was convenient to take off her pants, and a bandit monkey stood up in a hurry and was about to pounce, and the frightened woman screamed fiercely, lifted her pants and ran, but she didn't expect to rush out four people with quick hands and feet, and the bandits were frightened and fled.
Ma Qi and the other bandit were very close, and before they could escape, they were pulled out of the woods by Yan Ruofei and the others.
When Ma Qi said this, he pretended to be pitiful and said: "Uncle, military master, boss, I tell the truth, if there is a sentence that deceives you, I choked to death while eating, fell down the mountain and died when I went out, and I didn't have a child." ”
Yan Ruofei shouted impatiently: "Okay, okay, you can take us into Leopard's Head Mountain now, and you don't have to worry about other things." ”
March said with a sad face: "Uncle, I, I don't dare to lead you into Leopard's Head Mountain, if the brothers know, I will, I will." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, if you want to live, you must honestly obey my arrangement, if you dare to move your heart, I will immediately take your life, and don't you lead the way?" Yan Ruofei kicked Ma Qi hatefully.
Yan Ruping followed a few steps, sticking to Yan Ruofei's side and said: "Boss, I heard that the bandits in Leopard Head Mountain are not easy to provoke, they are all outlaws, the mountain is high and steep, it is difficult to enter the mountain, and it is even more difficult to come out after entering, plus the bandits have guns in their hands, even the government and the army can't help it, are you weighing it well?" ”
", Lao Tzu doesn't even pay attention to Xinmu City, which is ruled by little devils, he comes and goes freely, I'm so afraid of bandits and birds? Tell me to go down, be on guard on the way into the mountain, and don't shoot without my order. In Yan Ruofei's eyes, he didn't take the bandit den seriously at all.
Liu Cheng asked unsteadily: "Boss, I think what Deputy Company Commander Yan said makes sense, let's call these two bandits into Leopard's Head Mountain with a black light, once they have an ambush, then won't we all be finished?" ”
Yan Ruofei frowned, and replied dissatisfiedly: "The five people who were arrested, not to mention how important that weapon expert is, is our four brothers who have formed a bloody alliance, and now they are in the bandits' den, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead, can we just throw our hands and run away without saving them?" Isn't our swear of 'treating each other with all sincerity and never betraying'? ”
He glanced at the two of them in the dark shadow: "Don't say anything, when I get to the gate of Leopard's Head Mountain, I go into the bandits' den alone, I want to see what they dare to do to me." If I don't get the expert and the four brothers out, I don't deserve to be the 'boss' in your mind. ”
The night road in the mountains is difficult to walk, if you don't pay attention to it, you will fall down the mountain, it has entered the autumn weather, the branches and grass leaves at night are covered with dew, and if you don't pay attention to sweeping it on your face, it is very uncomfortable to get wet and cold.
He Mei is a girl who has walked such a mountain road, she followed Yan Ruofei's side carefully step by step, her soft and delicate hands were unconsciously stuffed into Yan Ruofei's hands, just like this, she still stumbled back and forth from time to time, if it wasn't for Yan Ruofei's tightness, she almost fell down the mountain several times.
Climbed over a hill, before going down to the bottom of the ditch, I heard the sound of the stream flowing water, Yan Ruofei and a few people in the city with the little devil bloody battle, rushed out of the city and blocked the pursuit of the little devil, climbed the mountain and was frightened, sweat did not come out, the body lost too much water, now hearing the stream flowing, the stomach has a sensitive reaction, hunger and thirst unbearable.
The group walked to the creek, and Ma Qi and the bandit just wanted to jump over, but Yan Ruofei grabbed them with both hands and dragged them back, and the two bandits were lying on the side of the stream.
Yan Ruofei ordered in a low voice: "Everyone hurry up and drink a few sips of creek water, this is the purest mountain mineral water that is not polluted, and there is no such shop away from this village." ”
Several people leaned down, held the clear and cool stream water, poured it into their stomachs one by one, drank a full stomach, and immediately came to their senses.
They crossed the creek and struggled along a steep path that meandered up the hill, where the slightest mistake would lead them to fall under the cliff on the left.
If this is daytime, not to mention that He Mei, a girl, does not dare to walk on the mountain road, even Yan Ruofei, a few big men, walking on this rugged, steep and dangerous mountain road, will also be frightened step by step.
Halfway up the mountain, they were so tired that they couldn't walk, so they stopped and turned around to look back, the mountain behind them had revealed gray white, and they could also distinguish people's facial features in front of them, the morning curtain was slowly opening, and a new day was about to begin.
Yan Ruofei was about to beckon his brothers to climb the mountain quickly, when suddenly a few shouts came from the woods: "Don't move, whoever moves will be killed, put the gun at your feet, slowly raise your hand, step over the gun and hold your head and walk forward."
