Chapter 22: Kill!
There is a mountain no less than five hundred miles away from Ning Hao, because the trend of the mountain resembles the head of a polar coyote, so it is called Coyote Mountain. There is a cottage on Coyote Mountain, which was originally used to operate a place for passing tourists to eat and stay, and then gradually abandoned due to the scarcity of people, but in recent years, there are people living on it, and it has begun to turn into a robbery, the reason is that the people who live on it are the outer disciples who used to live a good life in the Ximen clan or the Beichen clan, and they were expelled because of their mistakes, so they gathered together to bully the nearby civilians.
At night, the lights in the coyote village were bright, and in the righteous hall of the coyote village, the scar man knelt on the ground resignedly, his body trembled constantly, and his face was full of endless cold sweat. In front of the scar man, a man whose figure was no worse than him, but whose strength was above him, had a blue face, and a pair of huge fists with green tendons protruding, it was Xiong Zhengwei, the big boss of the coyote village.
"You said that your ring was robbed by a seventeen-year-old boy?" Xiong Zhengwei said coldly with an aura of not being angry but threatening.
"Yes. The scar man said in a trembling tone: "That young man's strength is higher than mine, and he should be in the middle level of the Wheel Realm." “
"You brought out so many people and you can't defeat a mid-level kid in the Wheel Realm, you are so disappointing to me. Xiong Zhengwei shook his head and said: "I don't care what method you use, get me back the diamond bronze, otherwise, you will sleep in the ground forever and don't come back, get out." "Yes. The scar man cautiously walked out of the justice hall and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But now the scar man is starting to make trouble again, where can he get back the King Kong Copper, following Xiong Zhengwei for so long, Xiong Zhengwei's scar man naturally knows, Xiong Zhengwei has just advanced to the Gang Realm not long ago, and he attaches great importance to building the King Kong Knife, if the King Kong Bronze can't be recovered, the Scar Man believes that Xiong Zhengwei can do anything. The scar man looked at the dark moon and the windy sky, and made up his mind.
Since Ning Hao snatched the scar man's floating finger ring, he did not leave quickly, but continued to hide in the cave to refine the spirit pill, but today, Ning Hao encountered an embarrassment, that is, all the herbs he bought from Diancui Building were used up, and he did not refine one. Looking at the remaining gold coins in the Floating Finger Ring, Ning Hao planned to go to Diancui Building to buy some medicinal materials.
Entering Luhecheng, there are very few people walking on the street today, although Ning Hao didn't say anything prosperous when he came last time, but there were also people coming and going on the street, and there was an endless stream. Especially on the way to Diancui Tower, there was not even a single figure. When I arrived at Diancui Building, the Diancui Building, which had been cleaned in the past, became dilapidated, the doors and windows were in tatters, the things in the house were looted and emptied, and the remaining useless ones were pushed to the ground, which was full of indescribable desolation, and the old man and his granddaughter did not know where to go.
Ning Hao walked out of the alley into Diancuilou in confusion, and as soon as he came out, an old man dressed as a peasant was looking Ning Hao up and down. Ning Hao felt strange and asked, "Uncle, do you know where the owner of the Diancui Mansion inside has gone?" "Young man, who are you from Old Man Zuo, why do you care so much about Old Man Zuo?" the old man said. "I am a distant relative of his, and I have come to take refuge in him. Ning Hao lied. "Oh," the old man nodded, "Old man Zuo has lived here for so long, and I haven't heard of any distant relatives in him." After speaking, the old man began to look at Ning Hao carefully.
Ning Hao was furious by the old man's heart, and thought to himself that he wouldn't be seen through by the old man? Just as he was about to say something more, he suddenly heard the old man sigh heavily, and Ning Hao was puzzled: "What's the matter, old man?"
The old man shook his head and said, "Seeing that you are a distant relative of Old Man Zuo, I will tell you about it." Old man Zuo originally didn't live here, his son and daughter-in-law were all outer disciples of the Ximen family, and they encountered an accident during an envoy mission, leaving Old Man Zuo and his granddaughter behind. Later, the people of the Ximen family brought Old Man Zuo here and gave him this little green building for him to run by himself, but he had nothing to do with the Ximen family in the future. The old man Zuo is very good, and he has nothing to say about his neighbors, although the old man Zuo loves money, but he is only deceiving outsiders, for here, as long as he can do it, he will help people do it. It's just that we are a small city here, and there are bandits on the mountain, although this place is under the jurisdiction of the Ximen family, and the Ximen family has also sent people to suppress the bandits several times, but the bandits here are all people who have had a relationship with the two families of Ximen and Beichen before, so every time the bandits on the coyote mountain will always know in advance, and then flee to the mountains, and when the bandits are gone, they will rise up and make waves, and after a long time, the people above will not care. It was our turn to suffer, and at this time, Old Man Zuo made an agreement with one of the bandit leaders to receive medicinal herbs and pills every month to provide to the cottage, etc., just don't harass the people here, the bandits agreed, and they will be safe in the next few years. It's just that in the past two years, Old Man Zuo's granddaughter has gradually grown up, and a second master with a scar on his face among the bandits plans to prepare Old Man Zuo to marry his granddaughter to him, not to mention Old Man Zuo, we are also unwilling, so we also asked Old Man Zuo to pack up his belongings and avoid it somewhere else. At first, the old man Zuo refused, for fear of affecting the neighborhood, but recently the scar man has faintly had the momentum of forced marriage, and the old man Zuo had no choice but to prepare to become a seller and prepare to escape, but he didn't expect to be met by the scar man, and the scar man beat the old man Zuo and warned him not to leave after leaving. "And what happened later?" Ning Hao asked. "Later?" the old man sighed again and said: "Later, less than a day later, the scar man came back here, punched and kicked the old man left, saying that the old man killed him without telling the whereabouts of that person, and what was even more strange was that the old man also found a bag of gold coins in the old man left's house, and the scar man said that it was the evidence of the old man Zuo and that person, poor old man Zuo was beaten to death, and his granddaughter was also arrested and taken to the cottage. I don't know who the scar man is talking about?"
Hearing this, Ning Hao's heart trembled suddenly, he didn't expect that the kindness of sending the gold coins back that night would actually harm the old man. A wave of anger gradually spread and burned in Ning Hao's heart, since the beginning of the days of fleeing to the present, Ning Hao has not been so angry as today. Ning Hao clenched his hands into fists, even if his nails were deeply sunk into the flesh, Ning Hao couldn't feel the pain, at this moment, Ning Hao just wanted them to pay for their blood debts.
Ning Hao tried to restrain his anger and said, "Old man, do you know how to get to the coyote village?" "It's about four hundred miles north from here. What's the matter, boy, do you want to go? Listen to my father-in-law's words, there is a murderous demon there, you must not go. The old man said anxiously. "Thank you, uncle, I want to ask, what to do with Uncle Zuo's body?" Ning Hao still asked politely.
The old man pointed in a direction and said, "Let's take Old Man Zuo's body to a mountain not far in front of us and bury him simply, after all, we can't let him go, so Old Man Zuo will not be blind." You see there's a new grave there. "Thank you, sir. Ning Hao followed the direction pointed by the old man, and his head would not leave.
The old man was still looking at Ning Hao, and said as he looked at it: "Strange, how can Old Man Zuo have such a distant relative?"
Ning Hao came to the mountain, and sure enough, he saw a new grave, and the tombstone was engraved with "Zuo Gong's Tomb". I never thought that the old man didn't even have a full name on the tombstone when he died.
Ning Hao stood in front of the tomb and said for a long time: "I'm sorry, I didn't know things would turn out like this, don't worry, I will go and bring your granddaughter back." After speaking, Ning Hao rushed to the direction that the old man said just now.
In the coyote village gathering hall, the scar man was standing in front of Xiong Zhengwei resignedly, and when he heard Xiong Zhengwei clenching his fist and gurgling, the scar man's scalp was numb. Just as the scar man was praying in his heart, suddenly someone from outside rushed in, and the scar man saw that it was the obscene-looking man who followed him that day. I only heard the lewd man breathlessly and said: "Report the report of the second master, and the person who robbed the second master came to the door that day." "What, how dare he come to the door, how many people did he bring?" Scar Man asked. "He is the only one who killed a few of our brothers who were guarding the mountain, and now he has entered the mountain gate. "Lewd man said.
Xiong Zhengwei smiled coldly and said, "Interesting, let's go, go out and have a look." As he spoke, he walked out of the righteous hall, and the scar man and the lewd man also followed behind Xiong Zhengwei, a fox and a tiger.
At the entrance of the cottage, Ning Hao was holding a person in his hand, only to see that person's neck was crooked to the side, obviously unable to survive. Ning Hao threw the man's body aside, his eyes searched the crowd for a while, and the moment he saw the scar man, the anger in Ning Hao's heart was even stronger. "Where is Uncle Zuo's granddaughter?" Ning Hao said with a gloomy face.
The scar man was panicked by Ning Hao's heart for no reason, and his eyes were as cold as death, but now there were nearly a hundred and ten people standing behind him, and more importantly, there was Xiong Zhengwei, which made the scar man's waist a lot tougher, and shouted at Ning Hao: "Boy, quickly return the floating finger ring that was taken from the uncle's hand last time intact, Lao Tzu may consider leaving you a whole corpse, otherwise, Lao Tzu will let you know what it means to have a different head." "Where is Uncle Zuo's granddaughter?" Ning Hao asked again. "You miss her so much, Lao Tzu will let you meet her, who called Lao Tzu a good person. The scar man pointed to the thing covered with a burlap behind Ning Hao and said, "She's there, don't worry, I'll send you to see her soon." “
Ning Hao ignored the scar man, but walked to the sackcloth and lifted the corner of the sackcloth, Uncle Zuo's granddaughter's eyes were wide open, and there was a trace of fear, resentment and unwillingness in her eyes. Ning Hao put his hand to her eyes, helped her close her eyes, and covered the sackcloth again, then slowly stood up and looked at everyone in the coyote village. "You guys. Ning Hao said in an extremely calm tone: "They should all be killed!"
