Chapter 1: Encounter with a bandit

Next Chapter

It has long passed the beginning of autumn, the weather is still sultry, and in the southeast of the Pingdu Daze Mountains, in the twin peaks valley between the two peaks of Huluyan and Mocone Mountain, there are two groups of people fighting.

The crowded side was dressed in shabby clothes, and most of the people had axes and machetes in their hands, chopping and chopping indiscriminately.

Although the other side is small in number, it holds a spear and waist knife in its hand, and in the fight, it cooperates with each other to advance and retreat to a certain extent, and from time to time shouts to make the opponent kneel and beg for mercy, obviously the side with fewer people has the advantage.

At the southern entrance to the Twin Peaks Valley is a circle of wheelbarrows, loaded with miscellaneous grain, with a few cows, sheep and livestock tied to the wheels, and hundreds of ragged women, old people, and children in the middle of the wheelbarrows.

These people stared nervously at the fighting ground not far away, most of them still holding various "blades" such as sickles, hoes, machetes, stones, etc., watching their own families fight on the battlefield with those grinding cone bandits with knives and guns in their hands.

In the sultry air, a few babies crying weakly and screaming from time to time could be heard in the middle of the crowd, and most of them were in a restless mood, and their eyes did not take off the fighting arena in front of them for a moment.

Although the robbers who came down from the grinding cone mountain were small in number, they were all fierce, and in the face of these opponents with axes and machetes, the blades in their hands were not merciless, and the knives and guns in their hands were still fiercely stabbing at the opponents.

The old and young behind the wheelbarrow watched their relatives being mercilessly chopped to the ground by the grinding cone bandits, some women and children screamed loudly, calling out for their relatives, and some desperately tried to break away from the wheelbarrow in a circle to go to the battlefield to save their relatives.

Suddenly, I heard someone on the battlefield shouting: "Old and young masters, don't panic, don't be afraid of these miscellaneous pieces of the Mill Cone Mountain, I have sent someone back to Huluyan to tell Commander Xu, this place is very close to Huluyan, and the rescuers will arrive soon, and it will definitely make these thieves look good." The uninjured brother tries to take care of the injured person, and it is best to fight the thief with several people next to each other. ”

The person who spoke was the leader of Huluyan, known as Hu Dadao, who led the villagers who defected to Huluyan through the Shuangfeng Valley and was besieged by the bandits of the Mill Cone Mountain.

Under normal circumstances, as long as Hu Dadao begs for mercy and gives away all the food and money carried by the old and young, the grinding cone thieves will not be too embarrassed by these people, at most they will pick a few young and beautiful women to take away.

This time, Hu Dadao felt that he was robbed at the foot of Huluyan Mountain, and his reputation would be ruined if he said it, so he started a fierce battle with the Mocone Mountain bandits.

Behind the thieves of the Mill Cone Mountain stood a man with a fierce face, he closely watched the changes in the situation on the battlefield, and the man with a fierce face called himself the Grinding Cone Tiger, and he was the commander of the Mill Cone Mountain.

As an old thief, he has long been accustomed to killing and being killed, and he does not have much guilt for his subordinates slaughtering these innocent peasants like slaughtering chickens and dogs.

He stared at the almost one-sided battle on the battlefield, his eyes on the old and young people who were circled in the middle of the wheelbarrow, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, these people were about to collapse. Hehe, chasing the chaotic fleeing crowd, slashing is enjoyable.

In this world, we pay attention to the law of the jungle, and if we want to survive, we must fight, rob, and kill. A few days ago, he led his subordinates to rob on the official road, kidnapped a rich lady, and was shocked when he returned to the cottage to ask, the arrested woman turned out to be the daughter of Pingdu's new Zhizhou family, and she actually caught a hot potato.

As soon as the news leaks out, the small cottage of Mocone Mountain will be killed by the officers and soldiers of the state flood camp in the city, and they want to kill the daughter of the Zhizhou family immediately to prevent future troubles.

For a while, he didn't think of how to use Miss Chen in exchange for benefits, so he imprisoned the master and servant of the Zhizhou family in a separate courtyard in the village, and set up sentry posts around it, stipulating that no one was allowed to approach without his own order.

After a few days, it was the winter wheat sowing, and the grinding cone tiger took advantage of a few days of free time to lead his brothers down the mountain to rob, and today he led his brothers to the Twin Peaks Valley, and accidentally found the group of people in front of him, and listened to their conversation is preparing to go to the gourd rock adjacent to the grinding cone mountain.

For the grinding cone tiger, human life is not as good as even a stone of food, although the food carried by more than 400 people in front of him is not much, it is enough for his subordinates to eat for a while, so he did not hesitate to order robbery and slaughter. Moreover, the force of Mocone Mountain is not inferior to Huluyan, and it is not afraid of Huluyan's retaliation afterwards.

The grinding cone tiger kept scanning the battlefield with his thoughts, watching his subordinates play like cats and mice, shouting loudly and begging for mercy on his knees, constantly persecuting these bankers with machetes and axes, and the reason why these people have not yet fled, I am afraid that they are still worried about the safety of the old and young families behind them.

Suddenly, a young man on the battlefield aroused the vigilance of the grinding cone tiger, and a trace of surprise gradually appeared in his fierce eyes.

Yes! This kid actually cut the head of one of his henchmen with a stick, and bleed and fainted to the ground.

The grinding cone tiger clenched the spear in his hand, and looked at the young man who continued to fight with his men with a fierce gaze, and he saw that three of his brothers were surrounding the young man at the same time, so he took the surname to watch how the young man coped.

On the battlefield, there was a grinding cone thief on the left and right sides of the young man wielding a waist knife and slashing at the young man, and another thief behind the young man held a spear and stabbed the young man in the back of the heart.

The boy was besieged on three sides, and the grinding cone tiger watched from afar as the boy was surrounded by his men on three sides, and it seemed that this little cub was dead!

The young man's name is Feng Jian, and he is a little passive in the face of the three-person siege, he first turned to the side of the thief's waist knife, the long wooden stick in his hand moved back, instantly pressed the spear stabbed from behind, jumped up with his strength, and suddenly kicked in the eye of the thief on the right side in the air, "poof", the thief on the right threw away the waist knife in his hand, covered his eyes with both hands and screamed loudly, blood suddenly flowed down his fingers, needless to say that the thief's eye frame was kicked and cracked.

The thief on the left side was slightly stunned when he saw this, and the waist knife in his hand didn't have time to retract, and suddenly slashed at the spear of the thief behind him, and the thief on the left side cursed, and after seeing the young man landing, he immediately raised the knife and slashed at the young man's chest.

The young man took advantage of the thief behind him to withdraw the spear, and did not dodge the waist knife chopped by the thief on the left, the long stick in his hand was erected, and he stood at his feet and shouted, stabbing the wooden stick to the chest of the thief on the left, the thief on the opposite side suddenly threw away the waist knife with a cruel smile, and grabbed the long stick quickly with both hands, the thief's strength was obviously greater than the strength of the young man, the young Feng Jian was pushed to move towards the thief behind him, and the thief behind Feng Jian saw this opportunity, raised the spear with a cruel smile, and pierced Feng Jian's heart again.

The thief on the left side who grabbed the young man's long stick had a hideous face, and cursed in his mouth: "The little cub dares to hurt your grandfather and die for Lao Tzu!" As he spoke, he once again pushed Feng Jian behind him with his two hands.

Feng Jian involuntarily retreated, his eyes swept over the spear pierced behind him, one step away, Feng Jian's hands holding the wooden stick suddenly let go, his body rolled with a thrust, dodged the spear that stabbed straight forward, directly picked up the thief and threw it to the ground waist knife, too late to get up, raised the knife and swung it at the spear thief who was close in front of him, this knife was very powerful, directly cut the left leg of the spear thief from the knee into two pieces, and the gun thief was full of panic, and then he screamed and rolled to the ground.

The young man got up without hesitation, and the waist knife in his hand quickly stabbed into the waist and ribs of the thief who was holding his long stick in a daze, and suddenly blood gushed out, and the thief looked at the knife on his waist and reacted, he seemed to be crazy and staggered to the young man: "Little zabrid, Lao Tzu killed you, killed you!" The young man's body was on one side again, dodging the thief's slash, and the waist knife in his hand stabbed the thief's chest again without mercy.

Looking at the thief who fell to the ground and died, the other two thieves who were injured and fell to the ground looked at Feng Jian with a panicked face, as if he was afraid that he would come up and kill him, and in the face of the young Feng Jian, he could only shout loudly for his accomplices to rescue.

The young man Feng Jian glanced at the thief who fell to the ground, gasped, and said, "If you want someone else's life, you have to protect your own life first!" After saying that, he ignored the thief who fell to the ground and was injured.

The two thieves who were injured and fell to the ground were relieved to see Feng Jian turn around and leave, and suddenly the pain in the wound came for a while, and the two couldn't help but scream loudly.

After taking a breath, Feng Jian found that his side was in danger, and the people who were fighting would collapse and flee at any time, and the situation that was originally one-sided seemed to have changed because he killed and injured three thieves. His actions seem to have aroused the vigilance of some thieves, and several thieves seem to want to leave their opponents and come up to surround them.

At a glance, he found that the leader of the thieves, who had not made a move, was bypassing the fighting crowd and running towards him with a grim face, Feng Jian was shocked, it seemed that the leader of the thieves was ready to go into battle in person.

"Come on, let you taste the master's darts!" Feng Jian stared at the approaching Cone Grinder. In his right hand, he took out a few small darts from his bosom, the tips of the darts were blue-brown in the sun, and it was obvious that the darts were coated with poison, and in a few moments, the leader of the thieves would be the first to taste the poisonous darts!

Capture the thief and capture the king first, maybe you will kill or injure the opponent's leader, and the remaining thieves will retreat, and the crisis will be solved.

Feng Jian's gaze met that of the Cone Grinding Tiger, and a cruel smile appeared in the Grinding Cone Tiger's eyes, and he raised his spear to prepare for the fight.

Feng Jian held the waist knife that he had snatched from the thief in his right hand, and a few darts hidden in his left hand, quietly waiting for the challenge of the grinding cone tiger.

Eight steps, five steps, three steps, the grinding cone tiger began to run, the steel gun in his hand stabbed Feng Jian head-on with the sound of the wind, Feng Jian took a step back, and the waist knife in his right hand blocked the spear that stabbed at him.

Feng Jian stared at the grinding cone tiger with a smirk on his face, and saw that the spear in his hand swept across his ribs, turned sideways and took a step back again, and then took advantage of the grinding cone tiger's spear to pull back, and took a diagonal step and stabbed the cone tiger's left shoulder blade with a backhand.

The grinding cone tiger has rich experience in fighting, and when he saw the waist knife stabbing at him, the spear blocked the waist knife, took two steps sideways, and suddenly turned to the right side of Feng Jian's body, and the spear in his hand stabbed Feng Jian into the right rib again.

Seeing Feng Jian hurriedly dodging, the grinding cone tiger sneered in his heart, this little cub is very cunning, his left hand seems to hold a hidden weapon, hmph, if there is a hidden weapon, you have to have a chance to release it, wait a while Lao Tzu will pick you with a shot, see how you still use the hidden weapon.

Feng Jian saw that the grinding cone tiger was staring at his left hand, and he knew in his heart that the opponent had found the clue, and he was secretly vigilant, it was easy for him to shoot the opponent, the opponent's spear was constantly assassinating, and he had been busy dodging, and it was difficult to calmly launch the hidden weapon in his hand.

The grinding cone tiger waved his spear and forced the opponent to keep retreating, and kept shouting: "Look where your little cub is fleeing, those who dare to hurt Lao Tzu are really looking for death, look at the gun!" Suddenly, a shot stabbed Feng Jian in the center of his cheek and eyebrows.

Feng Jian blocked the knife with his right hand, and his feet seemed to be tripped, and his body staggered close to the grinding cone tiger. The grinding cone tiger was overjoyed at first sight, the speed of the spear in his hand remained unchanged, and he accelerated towards Feng Jian's eyebrows.

Suddenly, the grinding cone tiger felt wrong, and as soon as the spear in his hand was retracted, he instinctively dodged sideways, and saw the little cub's left hand throw out a few points of cold light, shooting head-on at his face.

The two were five or six steps apart, and the grinding cone tiger had long been wary of Feng Jian's left hand, and when he saw that he raised his left hand, he quickly withdrew his spear and turned sideways to avoid it, and the hidden weapon flew out with his body.

The grinding cone tiger showed a successful smile on his face, and laughed: "Little cub, what other means are there now, see how Lao Tzu cleans up this little mess!" ”

The little cub on the opposite side of the hole card was exhausted, seeing that the little cub seemed to be in a daze, the spear in the hand of the grinding cone tiger suddenly stopped and swung towards Feng Jian, imagining the next moment the little miscellaneous was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and a strange pleasure rose in his heart.

Suddenly, he found that the other boy's left hand suddenly had a little cold light whistling towards the door in front of him, what was going on? How can the little miscellaneous still have a hidden weapon in his hand?

The grinding cone tiger twisted his waist as much as he could, trying to dodge the dart that Feng Jian was thinking about shooting again, but he couldn't dodge it when he was caught off guard, and the dart shot into the left eye of the grinding cone tiger mercilessly.

"Ah, what a sinister little bastard, Lao Tzu wants to break your body into thousands of pieces, kill!" The Tiger let out an earth-shattering cry, and the sudden attack caused the Tiger to lose its name.

The thieves who were fighting on the battlefield looked at their commander in disbelief, and saw him swinging his spear at the young man like a mad tiger, a hidden weapon in his left eye frame kept shaking, and blood flowed out of his eye socket.

These grinding cone thieves seem to have suffered a lot of blows, the always brave and brave commander was actually injured by a young man, who is this young man, how did he hurt the great commander, for a while, most of the attention on the battlefield shifted to the battle between Feng Jian and the grinding cone tiger.

The grinding cone tiger shouted and pounced on Feng Jian, the steel gun in his hand suddenly changed direction, quickly turned from his right chest and suddenly pierced Feng Jian's left eye, the grinding cone tiger looked vicious, and he wanted to pierce Feng Jian's head directly.

Feng Jian made a defensive move after shooting the last dart, the grinding cone tiger frantically picked the thorns did not pose much of a threat, he looked at the grinding cone tiger who was in anger and panic, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "The mud bodhisattva crosses the river, you ask for more blessings!" ”

It won't be long before the poisonous surname on the dart will make the grinding cone tiger go limp, and he will never want to stand up again for the rest of his life!

Feng Jian's eyes swept over the somewhat suspicious Cone Mountain thieves, hmph, the Cone Tiger was poisoned and unconscious, and the loss of command would inevitably cause the thieves to panic, and then he threatened with the surname of the Cone Tiger, protecting the old and young in front of him to leave the Twin Peaks Valley safely.

The screams of the grinding cone tiger once again caused panic among the thieves around them, and they saw their own commander waving his spear wildly with blood on his face, while the opponent stood aside calmly, and they were all taken aback, this young man was not afraid that the commander would fight back and kill him.

Seeing that the Grand Commander was injured, some thieves took the initiative to leave their opponents and rush towards the Grinding Cone Tiger, asking the Grand Commander to bandage the wounds first.

They have all seen the superb spear skills of the grinding cone tiger, which has been tempered in countless life-and-death battles, why did they hurt this seemingly thin young peasant today?

Several thieves shouted and ran towards the grinding cone tiger, shouting in their mouths: "Great Commander, Great Commander, why are you injured?" ”

The grinding cone tiger shouted: "Don't worry about Lao Tzu, go and kill that little crumb, the commander of this country will chop him up and feed him to the dogs, don't care about others first, go up and kill this little crumb, quickly, quickly...... Yes! What's going on, why can't I see it! ”

"Ahh The grinding cone tiger hissed and shouted, and suddenly felt a burst of dizziness attack, and the grinding cone tiger grabbed the thief next to him and shouted: "There is poison on the hidden weapon, hurry, hurry up and catch a small piece of ...... To be the antidote......"

The few bandits who ran to the front saw the leader faint to the ground, and they didn't know what happened to them, but they saw a hidden weapon stuck in the right eye of the grinding cone tiger, and the blood that flowed out had turned black, and his face was all over it, and he fell to the ground with convulsions, which was obviously a sign of poisoning.

These thieves saw that the person who harmed the Great Commander was not far from here, and cursed loudly: "This little cub has poison on his secret weapon, quickly find him for an antidote." He shouted and rushed towards Feng Jian.

Feng Jian was a few steps away from the grinding cone tiger, and saw the thief head grinding cone tiger falling to the ground with poisonous hair, and he had the opportunity to catch the grinding cone tiger as a hostage, but unfortunately there were several thieves around the grinding cone tiger, and seeing that two people with red eyes came to him desperately, he took out a few darts from his arms again and guarded them, ready to let them taste it again.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting on the side: "If you want the grinding cone tiger to live, just stay still honestly!" ”

Feng Jian turned his head and found that Hu Dadao was standing beside him at some point, staring at the grinding cone mountain thief, and the few thieves who rushed over desperately heard Hu Dadao's shout, hesitated to stop, and stared at Feng Jian and Hu Dadao fiercely.

Seeing this, Hu Dadao continued to shout: "Your commander Grinding Cone Tiger is now injured, if you want the Grinding Cone Tiger to live, stop the battle immediately!" ”

The thieves in the grinding cone mountain were shocked, and when they saw that the commander was injured and fell to the ground, they had no intention of fighting, and when they heard the shouts of Hu Dadao, they left the target of the fight and slowly gathered around the grinding cone tiger.

Several leaders of the Grinding Cone Mountain bandits surrounded the unconscious Grinding Cone Tiger, and a thief surnamed Gao said: "The Great Commander shouted before he fell unconscious, it seems that the thief's secret weapon is poisonous, and if you want to rescue the Great Commander, you must get the antidote from the other party." ”

Another thief leader surnamed Yu said anxiously: "If you want any antidote, kill all these people, and you can find the antidote." ”

The leader surnamed Gao glanced at him contemptuously and said, "Do you know what the antidote looks like?" None of us know, it's easy to kill all these people, what if you can't rescue the Grand Commander when the time comes? ”

The thief surnamed Yu asked, "Then how do you say to rescue the Grand Commander?" ”

The thief surnamed Gao said: "Don't mess up, first listen to what the other party wants." ”

Several leaders of Mill Cone Mountain gathered together to discuss for a while, and then shouted loudly that the bandits of Mill Cone Mountain were all gathered around Mill Cone Tiger.

Hu Dadao also shouted loudly at the right time that the people on his side leaned closer to him and Feng Jian, and soon the two sides of the people gathered together.

Most of the people on Hu Dadao's side didn't know what was going on, just now I heard Hu Boss shouting that the thief commander was injured, and the thieves withdrew from the battle, the situation suddenly reversed, and the surviving Zhuang people escaped with their lives, and they were a little at a loss for a while.

The hand-to-hand combat stopped, and only the screams of the wounded and the heavy breathing of the villagers could be heard on the battlefield, and most of the dead and wounded were from Hu Dadao's side.

Hu Dadao was taken care of by the thieves, and there were also several wounds on his body, and the defeat was decided, but who knew that there was suddenly such an earth-shattering reversal, is this called the road of endless people!

Because Feng Zhen shot and injured the thief commander, he had a chance to live, Hu Dadao carefully looked at the young man beside him, and saw that he was seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and straight, with a dark and simple face, from the appearance of an ordinary banker, occasionally his eyes flashed, with some maturity and stability.

Just now he heard the crazy shouts of the grinding cone tiger, and in the blink of an eye, he saw the grinding cone tiger fall to the ground and fell unconscious, so he quickly got rid of a few hesitant thieves around him, ran to Feng Jian and shouted, he understood that the grinding cone tiger was injured, and they had a chance to escape. But he didn't know how Feng Jian injured the grinding cone tiger and whether he could treat the grinding cone tiger.

Hu Dadao asked in a low voice: "Little brother is Feng Jian, right, thanks to the fact that you shot the grinding cone tiger, is there an antidote to save the grinding cone tiger, and tell me that Lao Hu is also good at heart." ”

Hu Dadao's words were hurried and fast, and Feng Jian nodded and said, "Leader Hu, I have an antidote here." ”

Hu Dadao was overjoyed and said: "Okay, now we are saved, Feng Jian is the life-saving benefactor of our people!" ”

Feng Jian hurriedly said: "Leader Hu, don't be like this, the thieves are currently in trouble, and everyone has not yet gotten out of trouble!" ”

Hu Dadao nodded and said, "Don't be afraid, with a killer weapon, I'm afraid that the thieves won't give in!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and shouted to the grinding cone bandit: "I am Hu Dadao, the leader of Huluyan, do you have anyone in charge?" ”

I saw a middle-aged man come out of the thieves in the Mill Cone Mountain, and he threatened in a loud voice: "My surname is Gao, but I am the leader of the Mill Cone Mountain, hum, if there is an accident in the Great Commander today, the Mill Cone Mountain will definitely slaughter everyone on the scene." ”

This person came up to open his mouth is a threat, Hu Dadao ignored it, he said: "There is no friction between our gourd rock and the grinding cone mountain, today it is said that the people of your grinding cone mountain attacked our gourd rock for no reason, resulting in many deaths and injuries, it just so happens that your commander was poisoned and injured, and now the matter should be leveled, what do you think of the heroes of the grinding cone mountain?" Of course, we are responsible for rescuing your Archon. ”

After hesitating for a while, the thief surnamed Mo Cone Mountain turned around and discussed in a low voice, and after a while, he turned around and replied: "As long as the Great Commander turns the crisis into safety, today's matter can be stopped, if there is an accident in our Grand Commander, hum, all of you will be buried for the Great Commander." ”

Hu Dadao's expression turned solemn, and he turned his head to Feng Jian to confirm: "Feng Jian, are you indeed sure to treat the grinding cone tiger?" ”

Seeing Feng Jian nodding, he no longer hesitated, and said loudly: "Let us leave the valley first, and then we can save your Great Commander." The people who are left behind here to treat must make sure that the old and the young are safe and sound, and then the people who stay behind can hand over the antidote to you.

"Let you wait for the women and children to leave, what should you do if you don't give the antidote?" A thief leader said.

"I have always practiced what I said, not to mention that there are still people left here to save us, if you still can't believe it, then you and I have to fight to the death. Hmph, when the time comes, not only will your Grand Commander Grinding Cone Tiger not be able to save it, but it will be no wonder that others! What to do, think about it! ”

The Mill Cone Bandits know that once these old and young people are let go, Huluyan will soon know about the battle that is taking place here, and naturally they will not sit idly by, and those who stay behind can escape as long as they wait for Huluyan's rescuers to arrive. However, the Grand Commander was injured and unconscious, and he could not help but be treated.

Several small leaders of Mocone Mountain muttered in a low voice for a while, now it is important to treat the Great Commander, you might as well agree to Hu Dadao's request, and wait for the Great Commander to settle accounts with these people.

So according to the agreement between the two parties, the old and young on Hu Dadao's side began to prepare to cross the Shuangfeng Valley first, and the thieves in the Mill Cone Mountain were watching on the side, and the old and young on Hu Dadao's side began to prepare to cross the Shuangfeng Valley first.
