Chapter 13: Into the Bandits' Den
It happened very suddenly, and there was really no warning at all, and more than a dozen people came out of hidden places such as roofs and courtyard walls, and shone flashlights on us.
We were very vigilant, and although we didn't bring guns this time, we quickly formed a zigzag and unanimously opened up to the outside world.
Maimaiti understood everything, and didn't react much, and muttered in local dialect to these people who suddenly appeared.
My eyes were uncomfortable with the flashlight, but I tried to observe the actions of Maimaiti and these people.
I can guess that they are the bandits we are looking for, and one of them even told me that he is the bandit leader.
Before I came, I thought about what I thought of these bandits as being like. What is the difference with the Guanzhong bandits (beards) from ancient times? must be very strong, and there is a crooked wind and evil spirit all over his body.
But the deviation of the actual situation is very large, judging from the dress, these bandits are no different from the peasants, and they do not have the temperament of bandits at all.
Let's just talk about the bandit leader, the upper body is covered with an Adi, the lower body is Nike, the whole brand sportswear is a mix, he also carries a hunting knife on his back, his hair and beard are not very well-groomed, and he feels a little dirty. And what makes people even more speechless is that he looks like a star-Bean, but his expression is unusually serious.
I knew he was supposed to be a serious person, but the problem was that this face always made me feel like laughing.
Of course, I suppressed this thought, and like Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey, I waited silently.
Maimaiti talked with the bandit leader for a while, and then the bandit leader said to us in a non-standard, indistinct Mandarin, "Since we are friends with the old snake, we welcome you to join, come with me!" ”
The old snake must have said that the Uyghur policeman, but he didn't expect him to come into contact with bandits, and he mixed such a nickname. In addition, the words of the bandit leader made me very sensitive.
It is true that we were introduced by a friend, but with just one introduction, how could the bandit leader let us join us so easily?
I always feel that there is something greasy in this, and I glanced at Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey by the way.
They looked the same way and didn't respond to me. I don't want to look at us too much, after all, these bandits are watching us.
The bandit leader led the way, and six small bandits surrounded us and led us to follow, while the other bandits turned off their flashlights and disappeared into various hiding places.
Together, we went deep into the village. I let go of distractions and silently observed my surroundings.
To be honest, this village is just a name, with the size of a village, but there are no villagers. Some of the courtyard walls have collapsed, and even the roof has leaked a corner.
We came to a large courtyard in the middle of the village. The house and the courtyard wall were not much damaged, and one of the bandits went into the house, took out six torches, and distributed them among the others, and when the torches were lit, the courtyard was quite bright for a while.
The bandit leader also introduced himself and said that his name was Amat. I can't say I'm too stupid, it's just that this time I'm buying and amat, and the names are so similar, I can't even tell who is who.
Amat was quite direct, and then he went straight to the point and said what he meant, "If you want to join, of course I welcome you, but we don't have idlers here, you have to do something to prove that you are qualified to join us." ”
As soon as I saw him finish, two bandits gave the torches to the others and came out of the column to come to us.
I understand, we're going to join the gang, and everything else is fine, so it's time to try our skills. In fact, it's right to think about it, being a bandit is a very dangerous profession, and it is impossible to collect idlers like state-owned enterprises and public institutions.
We had our own ideas, and we didn't move for a while, and the two bandits were a little impatient, and they said something to us, which meant urging.
Jiang Shaoyan reacted first, but instead of rushing over to fight with the bandits, he looked around and said to Amat, "It's okay for our brother to show his hand, but in the future, we will all be our own people, so we don't need to try our skills to hurt our anger so much." ”
What he said was not an exaggeration, and I could see that the two bandits were a little stunned, and it was estimated that if they really fought, they were both more serious masters, and they would not give up if they didn't distinguish between victory and defeat.
Amat thought about it, nodded and said okay.
Don't look at the soil here is not very good, and there is even a thin layer of sand on the surface, but there is an old tree growing in the courtyard.
I don't recognize what kind of tree it is, but the fact that it can grow in this adversity shows that it is tenacious.
Jiang Shaoyan walked over to the tree. When he got under the tree, he looked up and spat on his palm.
This is the rhythm of climbing trees, I have been in contact with Jiang Shaoyan for so long, of course I know his ability to climb trees, and now his clumsy performance makes me puzzled, but after thinking about it, I understand that he must retain some strength to prevent overexposure of his skills and revealing any flaws.
Jiang Shaoyan began to act, he really climbed with his hands and feet, and reached a position more than ten meters above the ground.
Amat and these bandits have been observing Jiang Shaoyan, especially paying attention to his movements when climbing trees, and they can't help but cheer at this time.
I'm not embarrassed to say anything, I said that Jiang Shaoyan is slow to climb this time, if he gets more serious and takes out that kind of monkey speed, these people can't admire him on the spot?
This is not over, Jiang Shaoyan leaned against the trunk of the tree, and centered on his stomach, let his body slowly turn one hundred and eighty degrees, and then climbed down head and foot.
In fact, when it comes to getting down the tree, he just snorts down, and this way of climbing is really thankless.
Amat They also understand the catty in this, and after Jiang Shaoyan was firmly on the tree, Amat gave a thumbs up first. This is telling Jiang Shaoyan that he can join the gang.
In this way, there are only two people left, me and the iron donkey.
The iron donkey came and stepped out, saying that it was his turn. Amat became interested and asked the iron donkey what kind of unique tricks he wanted to show?
The iron donkey's iron fist and iron palm are very powerful, I total, he can't come to the stone with his empty hands or something? But he didn't.
He also took out a desire to retain his strength, looked around, pointed to a courtyard wall and said, "Look at me." ”
Then he ran to the courtyard wall. Don't look at him fat, his legs are not slow, and when he is about to get closer, he deliberately bows his upper body forward.
I was frightened, and I said that Brother Tie is crazy, right? Is this the rhythm of hitting the wall with your head?
Let's not say that he has practiced iron head skills, but a human head is a head, no matter how hard it is, it is also the most important place on the body. The courtyard wall was made of stones, and it was uneven, with many edges and corners, and if you really want to hit it, you can catch up with the strength, and you can also be seriously injured.
I wanted to shout a word to remind him, but it was too late, and he had already rushed closer before he could say anything.
The worst didn't happen, the iron donkey still knew it, and he ended up using his shoulders instead of his head.
I don't have much to worry about, especially since we're all wearing armor. We all heard a bang, and the donkey was so strong that it knocked down the wall.
The iron donkey crawled out of a pile of rubble, patted his clothes indifferently, took out the appearance of a Jianghu person, and made a fist at Amat.
Amat replied to the iron donkey and gave him a thumbs up, but his face was a little unsightly.
He was still so practical and direct, and finally couldn't help but mutter, "Fat brother, you are really amazing, but this wall was collapsed by you, and your task tomorrow after joining the gang is to repair the wall!" ”
The iron donkey was originally smiling, but he froze for a moment, and looked at the remnant wall in front of him.
He also gave me a passing look. I immediately looked away, and said in my heart that I wouldn't help you, you should build this wall yourself.
After that, I was the only one left, and all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all the bandits had their eyes on me, and I felt like I was under a lot of pressure.
I was worried in my heart, and my heart said what would I do? I don't have that skill in climbing trees, I don't have that physique when it comes to fighting, and when it comes to fighting, I'm a master who can pick up the king's eight punches.
It is estimated that because Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey performed too well, these bandits' expectations for me have also become high, and someone shouted, "Show your hand, brother!" ”
Others chimed in.
I know that I must not drop the chain at this time, otherwise the first impression will be very bad, and it will be very difficult to inquire about information or something in the future.
I wondered what to do, and looked around.
There is a hanging wire in this yard, on which in addition to hanging a few washed clothes, there is also a large piece of meat, estimated to be about ten catties, it is from the leg of mutton.
I've studied anatomy, and I haven't studied the anatomy of sheep, but that's where my previous experience lies.
I made up my mind, pointed to the piece of meat, strode over, and took out the little scalpel while I was still feeling for my breast sac.
These bandits didn't understand what I was going to do, so they all followed me out of curiosity.
I took off the leg of mutton and carried it into the room, where there was a wooden table, and I used it as a dissecting table, and I put the leg of mutton on it, and cut the meat as fast as I could.
A scalpel was almost like life in my hand, anyway, under its cutting, this leg of mutton was separated from the flesh and bones, and some of the meat and tendons were also separated.
It was only the time of a cigarette, and the "dissecting table" was covered with pieces of soft tissue of sheep, and in the center was a half-cut leg of lamb, the bone was almost not scratched, but there was no scrap of meat on it
No one is blind, let alone stupid, and they are all frightened by my ruthless skills.
I felt that this was not enough, so I asked Amat, "Is there any wine?" ”
Amat answered, and beckoned one of his men to take it.
I took advantage of the time to make another small move, and took out a pair of poison from my breast pouch, and I used it to sneak some poison with my tail fingernails.
The man quickly brought in a wine bag, which was rare to see in other places, because the wine was bottled in glass bottles everywhere else.
He also took two tall wine glasses, which were probably made of bone.
I put the bag and the glass on the table and poured the wine into the glass, but when I poured the first glass, my tail finger secretly touched the wine, which means that the first wine was poisonous.
I didn't show anything on my face, and the second glass of wine was not poisonous, and when the two glasses were ready, I took the non-toxic glass, pointed to the poisonous wine, and asked the bandits, "Who will have a drink with me?" ”
