Chapter 140: It's a little troublesome
"Huo Lingxiao! Still sleeping? We're all going to be slaughtered! Wei Xiyue opened her mouth and bit Huo Lingxiao's shoulder hard.
Huo Lingxiao couldn't pretend anymore, "Hiss! He hurriedly said, "You belong to a dog, and it hurts so much to bite someone!" ”
"If I don't bite you, you don't know that you're awake, and now the two of us are in the hands of the mountain bandit leader, if we can't pay the ransom, we will be wiped and killed!" Wei Xiyue glanced at Huo Lingxiao with an uncompetitive expression.
Huo Lingxiao didn't panic at all, he first looked around the surrounding environment, as if he was looking at flowers in the back garden of his house, and that leisurely and elegant appearance made Wei Xiyue feel anxious.
"Yo, don't say it, you see that we have a good white plum blossom in the front left, and the flowers are really dense!" Huo Lingxiao said calmly while enjoying the flowers.
"Yes, this white plum blossom is indeed good, and it is beautiful to have feelings inserted on our graves for a while." Wei Xiyue said angrily.
She has been breaking free of the hemp rope on her hand, and her white and tender skin has been grinded, and there are two more blood marks.
"If the two of us die, it's a good thing to be buried together!" Huo Lingxiao continued to tease.
Suddenly, a pair of warm big hands were wrapped in Wei Xiyue's hands, slowly untying the rope for her.
"Don't move, your wrist will bleed in a moment!" Huo Lingxiao leaned on Wei Xiyue's shoulder and whispered.
The rope was almost untied, Wei Xiyue also helped untie the rope in Huo Lingxiao's hand, and the thin third man brought someone to bring Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao to the top of the mountain.
"You two, hurry up and put the cage down, I'm going to take them to the big brother now!"
The two people standing at the gate quickly put Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao down.
"Big brother, I know that you are all heroes, and you have no choice but to do this thing, if you let me, I will give you five hundred taels of silver as a thank you gift!" Huo Lingxiao was the first to speak.
"Be honest, you have to pay the money!"
Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao were pushed and shoved out of the iron cage, and led them to the cave with a rope.
The mountain bandits set up their nests in the cave, which runs through half of the mountain, which can be said to be accessible in all directions, with countless exits and entrances, even if the government attacks the mountain, they have a way to escape separately.
Wei Xiyue silently remembered the road conditions and road situation in the cave, but Huo Lingxiao looked left and right, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, almost blowing a small song.
Wei Xiyue found that the thin third man was deliberately taking the two of them around the bend, going back and forth three or four times, before taking them into a larger cave, where the square was smashed all around, and there was a seat made of tiger bones on the top, and the scar man sat on it with a smile on his legs, holding a little lady in one hand.
"Big brother, I brought it!" The thin third leaned in the same way as the invitation.
"Yes, I won't beat around the bush, and I'll tell you straight to the point, if you two want to get out of this mountain alive, you must each pay a ransom of 10,000 taels!" The scar man's dark eyes stared at the two of them tightly and said.
"If you can't pay the ransom of 10,000 taels, I will slaughter you two and feed the tigers in the mountains!" The thin third man pulled out the rubbed scimitar on his waist, threatening Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao.
"Hey, the ransom of this 10,000 taels is too difficult to pay, our family is just a small merchant, and if you really want to take us to ask for the ransom, you have to have a token, but the token was left in the forest, and I have to bother you to go back, so look for it carefully." Wei Xiyue's eyes rolled, and she said endlessly.
The scar man said: ", don't mess around here, what token do you want Lao Tzu to take, you one of you chop it with one hand, that's the best token, the third child will cut off the hands of these two cubs for me!" ”
The scar on her face twitched, and the little lady's body shook, and she couldn't help crying.
As soon as the scar man's voice fell, the thin third took the scimitar and walked towards Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao.
Huo Lingxiao said lazily: "Although 10,000 is not a big amount, if you take our hands and ask for a ransom, I am afraid that it will be greatly discounted at that time, and it is possible to bring people from the government to come, which is really worth the loss." ”
The thin old man paused, turned his head and glanced at the scar man.
"Wait." The scar man was really thinking about what Huo Lingxiao said, and it was indeed worth the loss.
After a while, he said, "Third brother, you send someone to the forest to find the tokens they left behind." ”
Wei Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and the corners of Huo Lingxiao's confident mouth pulled out a faint smile.
Huo Lingxiao quietly changed his appearance before he left Beijing, otherwise this red-faced face would swing here, and this ugly-looking mountain bandit himself wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and the large army would let Qingying mix in and pretend to be himself.
Wei Xiyue and Huo Ling were taken to another small cave by the thin third and locked up, and the two tried to fight back.
Da Da Da ...... A slow whirring sound of footsteps was approaching the cave where Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao were.
After a while, I saw an old woman with pale hair and wrinkles on her face, bent over.
A coarse cloth shirt, all of which were patched and white, and there was no place at all that was complete, and this piece of clothing seemed to be sewn together by pieces of rags.
Her wrinkled hands, and in the small basin she was holding, she also held two multigrain steamed buns, which were placed in front of Wei Xiyue.
coughed several times and said, "None of these mountain bandit leaders are human!" Even if they get the money, they're going to kill you...... Then run away and hide for a while, the government will stop chasing, and they will come back. ”
"Grandma, how do you know?" Wei Xiyue asked.
"My granddaughter and I, as well as some other villagers, were suppressed by this group of bandit leaders, and they didn't dare to run at all. The more the old woman spoke, the more excited she became, and "cough, cough, cough, cough ......" seemed to cough out her lungs.
Huo Lingxiao's eyes flashed with a hint of Lingzhi, the opportunity came.
He said, "Then have you ever thought that the life of these mountain bandit leaders is better than death? I can help you get rid of their oppression, help you return to a normal life, and no longer be exploited. ”
"Young man, you are still locked up with your hands and feet, don't say anything big, hurry up and eat two bites." The old woman said.
Huo Lingxiao untied the rope in his hand, rubbed his wrist, and took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve.
"This one is Phantom Bone Powder, as long as you put some in their drink, their bones will be soft in a few moments, and you can dispose of them."
Huo Lingxiao handed the small white porcelain bottle to the old woman, and the old woman hesitated to catch it.
Seeing this, Wei Xiyue said bewildermently: "Grandma, we just met your granddaughter, she is very painful now, obviously she is in the prime of her life, but she was slaughtered and played with by this gang of mountain bandits, between applause, do you really want to watch her live rather than die?" ”
"No, my little flower can't!" The old woman trembled and took the white porcelain bottle in Huo Lingxiao's hand.
No, he staggered out of the small cave, and Huo Lingxiao took the rope and sat back in his original position.
Wei Xiyue asked: "Are you sure that this old grandmother really dares to drug the wine?" ”
"I don't dare to be 10% sure."
Huo Lingxiao continued, "How can I be 90% sure, the long-term life is so painful, as long as they are given a little chance to fight back, they will definitely resist!" ”
Wei Xiyue hoped that it would be okay as Huo Lingxiao said, so that they could deal with this group of mountain bandits well, and they could also rescue this group of villagers unharmed.
The thin third man really picked up a jade pendant in the forest, and really believed that this was a token in the mouths of Huo Lingxiao and Wei Xiyue.
And when they thought of the white flowers, they were all overjoyed, and they all began to drink.
The old woman walked to the front step by step to pour the wine with the wine jar, and saw that her granddaughter Xiaohua was being played with by the scar man.
A pair of big rough hands roamed over her, and after drinking, she became even more presumptuous, and put her hands into the hem of Xiaohua's clothes and kneaded them.
The old woman carried the person on her back, picked up the white porcelain bottle, put the medicine in it in one go, and poured wine for the bandit leaders one by one. The last one was the Scar Man, but the Scar Man was bent on making a small flower on the bed and pushed the old woman aside.
"Fuck off! You old immortal, don't stand in the way of my uncle! The scar man held Xiaohua and prepared to stride away.
Xiaohua swore to resist and scratched a cut in Scar's face.
"Grandma's, you can afford to sleep with you! You little, I'm going to play with you here today! The scar man's voice just fell.
He pressed Xiaohua on the tiger bone chair, and roughly ripped off Xiaohua's coat with one hand, and the clothes were very thin Now there is a piece of water-red belly pocket hanging on his body.
The mountain bandits below looked at the two above with bright eyes, "Big brother is mighty!" ”
"His mother did her, dare to scratch the eldest brother!"
"Maybe the eldest brother is done playing, and our brother can also take it over and play, and look at this white flower's body!" There was a commotion below.
"Brute! All of them are beasts that don't want to die well! ”
The old woman lifted the jar and smashed it at the back of the scarred man's head.
Before the jar hit the back of the scarred man's head, the old woman was kicked by the scar man, and her body flew out like a kite with a broken string, and she fell heavily to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood on the spot.
"You don't care much about your granddaughter, you don't really care about it? Today I'm going to let you see your granddaughter die in my crotch! The scar man let out cruel words.
"No, don't!" The old woman let out a hysterical scream.
Two bandit leaders set her up, plucked the old woman's eyes away, and forced her to witness the tragedy.
