Wang Qiang and Xiao Zhong walked down the street for a while, and accidentally walked out of the town. The grinding stone pit is indeed not big, and standing on the edge of the town and firing a bullet can pierce the entire town with one shot.

Although the town is small, it is quite popular.

In this Panshan battle, the military offered a very considerable bounty to the civilian forces, a large amount of money and supplies were spilled, and those free bounty hunters who licked blood from the knife edge ran to the Panshan area like sharks smelling blood.

And the grinding stone pit, as the only choice for camping nearby, how can there be fewer people.

Although it has only been a few months since the millstone pit was brought down by the military, the town has already begun to take shape, and the whole town can be compared to any settlement, except that it appears slightly smaller.

Wang Qiang observed the surroundings, the geographical location of the grinding stone pit is close to the mountains on both sides, only the north-south direction has a way out, to the north is the road when he came, is the only supply line of the grinding stone pit, and to the south is the lofty mountains, leading to Baiyang City, one of the three cities of Panshan.

There is a small pond directly south of the grinding stone pit, which looks like a pool of natural accumulation, and if there is no rain or snow, the town's drinking water supply depends on it.

With a water source, it is not difficult to live together. Looking up at the periphery of the town, there are all houses under construction, and there are many tents built randomly next to the houses. These tents are old and new, but many more are patched. More than tents are the dragon-like shacks, which are made of wooden planks, branches, reeds, rags, straw mats, and everything else that can be used.

The shack area looked even dirtier than the tent, with traces of garbage and urine everywhere. Just as he was scanning the shack, a thin man in a rotten cotton jacket came out of a shack, and this man walked out of his house, and he took off his pants and one and five meters away from the door of his house......

Wang Qiang couldn't bear to look at it directly, what the hell is this.

The lives of these mercenaries and bounty hunters were miserable, but even so, in order to survive, the bounty hunters still rushed to the mountains one after another to work for their lives.

In order to survive, you have to sell your life, which is the fate of the vast majority of people.

The scope of the grinding stone pit is not too large, but there are nearly 100 tents camped in the open air alone, and the number of shacks is even more, occupying almost all the open space, and many shacks have been built on the mountain.

"There must be a few thousand people here." Xiao Zhong said.

"Let's go over there and have a look." Wang Qiang pointed to a tent full of people in the distance.

Compared to other places, that tent was very lively.

Wang Qiang and Xiao Chong slowly walked to the front of the tent, only to see a small deflated man standing outside the snow, eating half a piece of roasted sweet potato, seeing Wang Qiang coming, the man quickly hid the sweet potato in his hand into the torn jacket, and then ran away in a panic.

This person is really strange, Wang Qiang thought to himself, maybe he was afraid that I would rob him of his roasted sweet potatoes.

Walking into the tent, a pungent smell came to my face, and I saw a group of men in old cotton jackets, standing around a large table, pressing the coins in their hands on the table, and looking at the six dice on the table. The dice are crazy, and every time it is opened, there will be a burst of excitement and disappointment, which is very emotional.

In the corner of the tent, there were two guys selling grass tobacco and liquor, and on the straw mats, there were several clay wine bowls lined up, and those who won the bounty hunters did not hesitate to spend two dimes to buy a bowl of spirits, and if they won more, they might even come with a small plate of peanuts or something.

Coming out of the tent, Wang Qiang only felt that the sky was dark, the air in the tent was too bad, and he didn't know how these bounty hunters were made, and there would be no lack of oxygen if they nested together in an unventilated tent.

Wang Qiang walked a few steps only to find that Xiao Chong did not follow, needless to say that Wang Qiang also knew where the goods went, so he returned to the tent and pulled Xiao Chong, who was about to bet, away from the gambling table.

Within two steps of walking out of the tent, a middle-aged woman with a vegetable face grabbed Wang Qiang's clothes.

"Brother do you want to buy Xiaomei, my daughter is only thirteen years old, she will definitely satisfy you, only ten yuan, no, five yuan." The middle-aged woman spoke, revealing a timid back from behind her.

Wang Qiang looked at this hungry little girl, and found that the girl's delicate and wooden face had a pitiful expression, and a pair of pitiful eyes flashed with a look of hope.

"Big brother, if you want me, I'm not expensive." The little girl whispered.

Wang Qiang's heart tingled, he couldn't understand how such a little girl could run to the Panshan area, wasn't this here to die?

Xiao Chong, who has always been heartless, took out a stack of banknotes at this time, and about a few hundred yuan handed it to the little girl.

"That's all there is to it." Xiao said with a big grin, tears flashing from the corners of his eyes.

The middle-aged woman took the money from the little girl, then hugged the little girl, pushed the little girl in front of Xiao Chong, and said flatteringly: "This old brother, my daughter is yours!" ”

Wang Qiang noticed that the middle-aged woman actually quietly stuffed the money into the little girl's pocket.

It's a weird thing.

Xiao Zhong didn't notice this detail, he patted the little girl on the shoulder and said, "If my daughter is still alive, she will probably be your age." You take the money and live well. ”

Wang Qiang resisted the question in his heart and asked, "Eldest sister, you are also a bounty hunter?" ”

The middle-aged woman looked sad, shook her head and cried, "My man is a freedom bounty hunter, but he died last month, and my daughter and I have lost our financial resources and have no ability to leave here, only ...... Whining. ”

The middle-aged woman couldn't go on.

At this time, two passing bounty hunters saw the middle-aged woman, and couldn't help but show a fierce look, and stepped forward and shouted: "Stinky woman, bring the filial piety that should be handed over today!" ”

"Okay, stinky woman, if you have money, bring it to me!" A bounty hunter walks up and gives the middle-aged woman a slap in the face, then reaches out and tries to search for money from the woman's arms.

After receiving a slap in the face, the woman seemed to have no feeling at all, but just grabbed the big man and refused to let go of any other bounty hunter's punch and kick.

"Let go of my mom! Woo ...... "The little girl wept, screamed, and panicked.

Wang Qiang was about to open his mouth to stop the atrocities of these two bounty hunters, but he didn't want to, Xiao Chong, who has always been a good man, was already angry and said: "You two dogs, let Lao Tzu go, otherwise Lao Tzu will collapse you!" ”

Xiao Zhong said yes, the AK47 on his waist was already reloaded, and the muzzle of the gun was against the bounty hunter who had committed the murder on the middle-aged woman.

The bounty hunter who was held to the head with a gun showed a disdainful smile on his face: "You two are new here, do you know the rules, let me tell you, as long as you dare to shoot, I guarantee that you will not get out of the grinding stone pit alive." ”

"Finished?" Xiao Zhong asked.

"When it's over, what do you want?" The bounty hunter looked at Xiao Zhong defiantly.

Xiao Zhong didn't say a word, and deflected the muzzle of the gun to the side of the bounty hunter's head.

Bang!

"Ahh My ears! "Where did the violent bounty hunter still have the heart to hit someone, covering his head with his hands, and a puddle of blood flowed from the side of his head.

"You dare to shoot? You're done! Seeing this, the other bounty hunter, who was groping around with the woman, changed his face drastically, let go of the middle-aged woman for the time being, withdrew his hand and went to the back of his waist to touch the gun. However, the gunfire resumed, and the large-caliber pistol that the bounty hunter had just gotten in his hand suddenly exploded, injuring the bounty hunter's hand holding the gun from discarded metal fragments and machine springs.

Xiao Chong saw the bounty hunter pull out his gun, and immediately gave him a shot, this time, directly destroyed the bounty hunter's weapon, and by the way, broke the tesuji, which completely shocked the two fanatics.

"The money was given by Lao Tzu, you dare to rob it, Lao Tzu dares to kill you, do you want to try it?" Xiao Chong's eyes were cold, and he said fiercely.

Wang Qiang was surprised, he and Xiao Chong had known each other for a short time, and it was the first time he saw Lao Xiao so angry.

The two bounty hunters didn't dare to grab it anymore, but just stepped back step by step, then turned and ran into the messy shack area.

The middle-aged woman hugged her daughter, touched the pocket where the money was hidden on her body, and then said in panic: "You go quickly, there are many of them, you can't imagine their cruelty, they will kill you!" ”

Wang Qiang looked at the direction in which the bounty hunter had fled, and said, "The grinding stone pit is so big, where can you run if you cause trouble?" ”

The middle-aged woman opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Besides," Wang Qiang thought for a while and continued: "What should we do if we run away with your mother and daughter?" ”

Before the middle-aged woman could speak, a voice sneered: "What about their mother and daughter?" Hehe, you two guys are very broad, let's ask for more blessings first. ”

Wang Qiang turned his head and looked at the person who spoke.

This guy has a very unfriendly tone.

Such unfriendly people are most likely enemies.

The visitor had a gloomy face, wore a military trench coat, a wolf skin jacket wrapped inside, a pair of new winter combat pants, a pair of leather boots specially provided by the military, and a cigar with only one-third left on the dark leather gloves of the regular military uniform.

This guy is not tall or tall, his face is not ugly or handsome, and his temperament is very ordinary, but he seems to be pomp and circumstance, why is the pomp and circumstance not small, just because he is followed by seven or eight subordinates with guns in their hands and fierce faces.

Wang Qiang looked at the gloomy face, and his eyes fell on the military cloak and leather boots, these equipment are only available to the military, and looking at the style of leather boots, it probably belongs to the customized type. Officers with custom boots of rank are at least officers above the rank of captain.

"You're from the military?" Wang Qiang asked tentatively.

Yin Que sneered: "Boy, you still have a little look, but you guessed wrong, Lao Tzu is not from the army." New here, Lao Tzu told you that this camping area on the slope east of the grinding stone pit is under the control of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu does not change his surname or change his name, Ma Wu, the head of the Iron Horse Mercenary Group, is me. ”

After Ma Wu finished speaking, he didn't look at Wang Qiang, but stared at Xiao Chong, and said: "You guy, you shot and wounded my men, I want to ask the brothers for an explanation for this matter." ”

Xiao Zhong asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Ma Wu said: "It has always been natural for a murderer to pay for his life and repay his debts. I don't want you more, one ear, one hand. ”

Xiao Chongqi smiled: "The tone is not small, you want me to have one ear and one hand, what if I don't give it?" ”

As soon as the words fell, dozens of people in the shack area rushed out with guns and weapons, guarding the left and right of Wang Qiang and Xiao Chong, and surrounded the two tightly.

Ma Wu sneered: "It's okay if you don't give it, then I'll take it myself!" Guys, get ready to get started! ”

"Wait!" Wang Qiang roared.

"Huh?" The corner of Ma Wu's eyes jumped.
