Chapter 5: The Talking Head

The wildfire plain is a land that cannot be constrained by law, and the endless wasteland is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of characters in it. For those robbers, horse bandits, and traffickers, this is their favorite trading place and lair, and within a few steps, you can smell a smell that makes them tremble with excitement, which is the fragrance of fresh blood.

A dirt road that runs from north to south winds and turns, and few people pass by on weekdays. At this time, the dirt road was dusty, and a team of men and horses hurried forward.

Several of the robbers at the head of the robbers, dressed in tattered felt clothes, probably never washed, oily, and shiny in the sun, all armed with weapons, and two of them also took sharp whips with upside-down burrs and from time to time struck the captives who could not keep up, to vent their excess heat.

A few old and thin grey horses and ox carts were followed by a long rope, and most of the captives tried to keep up with their heavy steps with numb looks. Ji Ge is also mixed in.

He, like the men and women, was tied with thick ropes at his wrists and heavily handcuffed from his feet. The chains rattled with the footsteps of the captives, and the ears continued to echo. Ji Ge tried his best to keep up with the footsteps, lest the whip fall from the sky and add another bloody streak to his back. In the past few days, his frail body seemed to have been given a serious illness, and he had endured great sorrows in the world, and he had wandered for many days on the boundless river, and had become a captive, and every day he had eaten a small piece of the robbers' goods to keep their goods from starvation, and the ones that were hard to swallow, and which tasted not much better than pig food, and the black bran bread that was hard enough to burst his teeth, and how little of the pitiful dirty water he had.

A whip shadow fell.

"Hurry up, my dear pickpocket!"

A fierce man with a scumbag face scolded and slapped Ji Ge's back with a whip, for this dirty and stinky boy's valuable things were taken away by the bald man, he had long been extremely red-eyed, and he couldn't break the rules, so he could only vent his anger on this culprit. This bastard, if it weren't for the bald man who had a gambling book, how could he lose so badly?

Ji Ge raised his head and looked at him with eyes that hid cold hatred, until he saw that the evil man's heart was numb, he lowered his head again, and took a staggering step and gritted his teeth to keep up with the team.

There's no good fruit to eat if you provoke them!

These robbers were thugs who took human life seriously, and if it weren't for the goods to live, they would not have been willing to buy even a black bran bread with a bronze cockscomb to these captives! Even so, on the way, he saw a big-bellied man who was so tired that he couldn't walk, and he was lying on the ground and scattering his feet, and he was thrown on the side of the road. In this place where the murderer is infested with hungry wolves, without legs, he is destined to die. Ji Ge has seen a lot of dead people, but he still can't forget the despair and fear in the fat man's eyes when he watched the butcher knife fall, and the crazy smile of this group of robbers when they saw the blood, and even the robber who cut off the fat man's feet stretched out his tongue to lick the blood on the knife away!

These people who wandered on the tip of the knife, except for drinking and gambling on the way to the goods, had no entertainment to relax their overly tense nerves, killing people was much more comfortable for them than playing with a beautiful girl, and it could also satisfy the irrepressible tyranny in their hearts! Rao is Ji Ge wisely lowered his head, and there was still a pain in his back.

"Unconvinced?'s body is quite expensive.,I really think I'm a young master?Hmph.,What's ......?"

The robber scolded and pointed at him, the horizontal flesh on his face trembled, and when he saw Ji Ge obediently bowing his head and mixing in the team, he disdainfully spat a few mouthfuls of saliva on the ground.

A pointy-faced bandit in front of him suddenly raised his hand and signaled for the team to stop for a moment. The wicked man was stunned for a moment, seemed to understand something, bent over and put his head on the ground and listened, when he stood up, his face was already full of solemnity and evil spirit, he whistled, took out a meatloaf that made the captives behind him swallow saliva, took a bite, and grinned. "Here come the wolves!"

The robbers stopped, and the captives didn't know why, but they quickly reacted, and they didn't feel dirty, so they sat down and took the opportunity to rest secretly, waiting for the unknown ahead.

In a few moments, the sound of horses' hooves came from the front, and a shirtless horse galloped forward, and suddenly saw this group of people holding weapons that emitted cold light, not only did not stop or change lanes, but urged the horses to gallop in front of them.

This is a group of horse bandits who burn and kill and plunder.

The bandits' faces were an unusually fleshy red color from the perennial exposure to the sand and sun, and the knight with a black eagle tattooed on his chest patted his horse's head and squinted at the crowd as if he were looking at prey.

"The cattle and the women stay, and the men roll. ”

He spoke lightly, not loudly, nor with any fierce demeanor, but with an unquestionable majesty.

"Haha...... Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Hey, you horses are good, and we'll take them. ”

The robbers did not eat this, and wantonly pointed to the horse bandits and sat down on the tall horses, and unceremoniously retorted at each other. The bald man pulled out his knife and grinded it on his bare head, his eyes were bloodshot, "Do you only say something pretty? Grandpa's knife hasn't tasted blood for a long time." ”

Robbers and horse bandits used to be a nest of snakes and rats, but in this unrestrained wildfire field, if anyone looks at anyone who is not pleasing to the eye, a word of discord is a vicious fight.

The two groups rushed together, and the path was instantly shrouded in sword light and blood, and they all shot fiercely, even if they were stabbed by a knife, they must pull a burial before they poured.

The captives squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands in fear, not daring to move, and no one escaped, and countless bloody examples on the road made it clear that the price of escape was worse than death, and their hands and feet were still tied. They're just a bunch of live creatures to be slaughtered, and it doesn't matter who owns them.

Ji Ge also squatted with his head in his hands, his eyes secretly looking at the fight between the two groups, waiting for an opportunity to escape. No matter which side wins, he is not willing to be a prisoner. He touched his chest, and the hardness coming from it reassured him slightly. The pipe and the gold button in his arms were taken away by the bald man when he woke up, and the book and the dagger, which looked like a piece of rotten iron, were thrown into the river by him, and he searched for a long time in the river for a convenient reason before he found the rusty dagger, and the book had long been soaked in the river.

The bald man had been doing this for almost twenty years, and since that incident had happened when he was fifteen years old, the noble lady who had always taken pleasure in humiliating him had been toyed to death by a group of robbers in front of his eyes on the way to marriage, and the desperate screams still echoed in his ears, making him tremble with excitement every time. Then he was determined to be a robber, and he did. He seemed to have seen this scene when he first picked up the knife, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly without a hint.

He was dying, and the black eagle and horse thief at the head leaped from his horse like a god, and the sword in his hand slashed like a mountain, cutting off his knife and cutting off his slick head.

The robbers are defeated, and in this chaotic territory where strength is everything, defeat means death, and there is never surrender here, only killing and being killed.

The horse bandits cleaned up the tragedy, counted the wounded and dead brothers and the rich booty, and laughed heartily from time to time to celebrate the victory.

A horse bandit counted the number of prisoners, didn't kill it, and cut off the head of a kneeling old woman next to him with a knife, and casually said to the horse bandit tattooed with a black eagle: "Hehe, boss, this old one is slaughtered, what about the little one, we can't bring too many things." ”

The bandit leader wiped the blood from the narrow knife on the bald man's corpse, and slowly spit out a cold voice: "Except for the women, kill them all." ”

Hearing the man's words, Ji Ge's mind buzzed, his body squatting on the ground tightened, and he seemed to feel the sharpness of the tip of the knife on his neck, and his cold hair stood up. The old woman's head rolled down beside him, and she looked at him with blank eyes, reminding him of his father, who had looked at him like this, as if muttering something. His cheeks were splattered with warm blood, and a drop splashed into his eyes, staining everything in his eyes with blood.

The boy was terrified, but he couldn't do anything, and there was only one voice in his heart shouting frantically, I can't die, I have to avenge my father!

All the captives were pale, wishing they had a few more legs, but they were heavily shackled and could only wait for the scythe of death to come.

At this moment of life and death, a hoarse and sharp laughter that sounded like an old crow suddenly came from everyone's ears.

"Hey...... Ha ha...... Who did my wife provoke, she is old, she is tired of walking and squatting here to rest for a while, why did this head fall to the ground?"

Everyone nervously looked around, looking for the source of the eerie sound.

Ji Ge looked at the old head in front of him in shock, and said this sentence with his mouth open and closed with only a few thin yellow teeth. The whites of the skull's eyes suddenly rolled up, and when he saw Ji Ge's frightened expression, he squeezed out a smile that was even more terrifying than crying.

"Heheha, don't be afraid, little doll, mother-in-law doesn't eat people......"
