Chapter 371: Life and Death Choice
The afterglow rose and fell on the surface of the water, watching the three figures gradually disappear into the night, merging into the vast world of Kuntianzhou.
Just now, when Wu Gen and the others were safely sent to the shore, Yu Feng tore off a piece of fish scales from his waist and gave it to Wu Gan. This is a sign of the merman's testimony of brotherhood, just as the secular human race needs to burn incense and worship and promise to die together.
Yu Feng remembered that when Wu Yan was leaving, he smiled mysteriously and said that when he saw each other again in the future, he would recognize each other again with this scale. Whoever comes to you at that time will treat it as if it were you.
At this time, Yu Feng Fang figured out what kind of disguise technique Wu Gen and Yang Zheng should have used. These two bastards, so sneaky, seem to have a lot of secrets hidden in them.
It's just a pity that I can't make a career in Kuntianzhou with them. If you go by yourself, you can't say that you can do a lot of earth-shattering things, so that your father can take a good look, and the merman can crisscross the world even if he leaves the sea.
The young man's mind was like the sea breeze, drifting farther and farther, and just as he was imagining, suddenly a familiar voice came from behind him, "They're gone?" ”
"Ah, Dad, why are you here?" Yu Feng turned around in surprise and shrunk his neck in fright.
Yu Hai patted his son's head lightly, "If I don't come, are you going to run along, let's cut first and then play?" ”
"Didn't I run?" Sensing that his father was not angry, Yu Feng smiled and said, "When did you come?" ”
"I've been behind you since you left, and when else came, I'll see how I clean you up when I get back."
Yu Hai was a little annoyed, looking at his son's flattering smile, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Forget it, Dad used to control you too much." You have also grown up, have your own ideas, have your own friends, and in the future, your father will no longer be too restrained by you, but you should think more before acting, and don't put yourself and your family in danger just by a moment of enthusiasm. ”
"I know, Dad, no matter how old I am, I still have to listen to you." Yu Feng pushed away his father and swam to the open sea, and said coquettishly: "It's not early, let's go back." ”
"Alas, stinky ......" Yu Hai's sturdy fishtail flipped and chased after his son.
Not to mention how Yu Feng explained to Yu Hai, Wu Gan, Yang Zheng and Zhuo Ke boarded the shore, and seeing that there was no one around, they hurried inland. Not far from the coastline, rolling mountains appear in front of you. The mountain is not high, and low trees grow on it.
The three of them didn't dare to stay longer, and took advantage of the night to get into the reckless mountains. What is the situation on the other side, the three of them are purely blind. Although Ran Peng has been to Kuntianzhou many times, he has never been out of the port called Hengmen, so he naturally has no idea what is in front of him.
Without the protection of the port shepherd, the three of them were like sheep in the wolf's den, and they could be caught from time to time, so they naturally had to be careful. During the day, the three of them looked for some hidden cave beasts to hide. When it was dark, Fang took the stars as a guide and hurried through the barren mountains and mountains.
Perhaps after the black magic was removed, the three of them did not bump into the shepherd along the way, and gradually entered the hinterland far from the coastline.
After many days of peace, the three gradually relaxed their vigilance. Just as no matter how cunning a beast is, it will fall into a trap, on this day, with Yang Zheng's scream, the whole person was hung upside down on the tree, announcing the end of the good luck of Wu Yan and others.
"It's a human race, oh my God, there are human races here, they have made a fortune, and they can sell for a lot of money." With a strange shout, three shepherds dressed as hunters jumped out of the woods.
The three of them were wearing rough animal skins, and the ears on their bodies and the black stains on their faces showed that they had been in the mountains for a long time. Looking at Wu Gan, the hunter's eyes showed greed, and they each held their knives and bows and carefully surrounded them.
Wu Jian glanced at Yang Zheng helplessly, this person who had also stayed in the Holy Mountain of the Divine Sect and had cultivated himself, had fallen into the trap of three vulgar shepherds.
Yang Zheng also came to his senses at this time, his dark face was a little red, he sighed, and with a slight stroke of his fingers, the rope made of animal skin on his feet was suddenly broken into several pieces. Falling from the tree, Yang Zheng didn't say a word, and rushed in front of the three hunters in the blink of an eye.
At this point, the prey turned into hunters, and after a burst of white light flew, the three hunters were knocked to the ground. These are just the most ordinary shepherds, and the pitiful cultivation on their bodies is really nothing in front of Wu Yan and the others.
Tying the three of them together, Yang Zheng squatted on the ground and stared at the three unlucky ones with bad intentions, "Wu Gan, are we going to do these three people, so as not to leak the news." ”
The three hunters looked at Wu Gen and the others in surprise, they didn't expect these people to be so powerful. It's just that the deep-rooted understanding formed since childhood still makes them look down on these human races who can only be regarded as pigs and sheep in Kuntianzhou.
"I advise you to let us go, and we won't report to the lord outside the mountain, so we should have never seen each other." The oldest of the three hunters spoke.
Wu Gen and Yang Zheng glanced at each other and laughed. I don't know if these three are really stupid or fake stupid, I must not have heard the allusion of people for the knife and I am for the fish and meat, and my life has been pinched in the hands of others and I don't know how to know some current affairs, which is really a little cute.
"Yang Zheng, it's up to you." Since Yang Zheng has been there, Wu Gan doesn't have to do some dirty work himself. Take the rabbits and other prey from the three of them, and take Drok to the side to concoct them.
"Leave it to me." Yang Zheng got up with a smile and spit into his hand. He took a rope that was not long from the three of them, found a thick branch that was horizontal, and threw the rope over.
Then, two nooses were made at both ends of the rope and put them on the necks of the middle-aged man and the other person who had just spoken. The vicious thing about Yang Zheng's rope is that the rope is too short, and the feet of two people cannot land at the same time.
When one person puts his foot on the ground, the other has to hang in the air, and it is up to the two to decide who lives or dies.
"As long as one of the trees dies, I'll let the remaining two go." Yang Zheng patted the ash on his hand and sneered.
"Dog thief, you think we'll be scared in this way, shepherds don't have bad seeds." The middle-aged man's face was flushed, and he pushed his neck back so that he could catch his breath. He cursed on tiptoe, but he quickly jumped up again, put down the person opposite and took a breath.
No one paid any attention to him, except for the boy on the ground staring at him with horror on his face.
"I sprinkled enough ingredients, I didn't dare to eat hot food these days, and I gnawed on dried fish every day." Yang Zheng, who was busy with all this, squatted by the bonfire, pointed to Zhuo Ke to roast and peel the rabbit, turned his head and said to Wu Gan: "Give me some wine, the mouth is fading out of the bird." ”
Wu Gen took out a wine bag from his body and threw it to Yang Zheng, "Save some drink, leave some for Zhuo Ke, there is so much left, if you want to drink in the future, you can only rob the herdsman." ”
Yang Zheng pulled out the plug and poured it carefully, with an intoxicated look on his face.
Soon, the flesh turned brown, and Wu Yan pulled Zhuo Ke's head back, preventing him from looking at the two people jumping up and down under the tree.
The three of them feasted around the campfire, but the two under the tree couldn't hold it anymore. With such a constant jump, their necks were tightened from time to time, making the two of them physically and mentally exhausted. If this continues, one of the two will have to die before the other can survive.
The young man on the ground looked at his relatives under the tree for a while, and then looked at Wu Gan and the others who were swallowing heavily, and his eyes gradually changed from initial resentment to panic, and finally he burst into tears.
"You can't do that." Wu Gen asked in a low voice.
Yang Zheng bit a bone hard, rolled his big tongue, and rolled the bone marrow into his mouth, "Don't worry, these three obviously know each other, who lives and who dies is not so easy to choose."
Even if I survive, I'm afraid I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. Moreover, there are juniors on the ground who are watching, and if they can't hide it, how will they face the people at home in the future. ”
"Killing people is much more uncomfortable than just dying. Drock, learn a little, you kid is too honest. Wu Gen handed the wine to Zhuo Ke, "Drink, you have to practice your amount of wine." ”
Since taking Zhuo Ke by his side, Wu Jian found out that this kid can't drink, how can this be done. Men don't drink, are they still men. As soon as he had some free time, Wu Jian would let Zhuo Ke take a sip.
Fighting the urge to look back, Zorc poured a large sip of wine into his mouth, but he choked and coughed.
"Ahem." The middle-aged man under the tree also coughed violently, and the companion opposite saw that he couldn't hold on, so he stayed in the air for a while, and when he came down, his eyes had already rolled his eyes, and it would be over later.
Taking a big breath of air, the middle-aged man shouted hoarsely at Yang Zheng, "Dog thief, kill me." ”
Yang Zheng walked over, didn't pay attention to the middle-aged man, but stuffed a piece of meat into the mouth of the young man on the ground, "Eat, eat and look at it again, the two of them have hard mouths and hard lives, and it will take a while to die." ”
Poof, the young man spit out the meat in his mouth, fell to his knees with a plop, and kowtowed to Yang Zheng, "My lord, if you want to kill, kill me, let my father and uncle go." ”
Yang Zheng helped the young man up, gently wiped the dirt from his forehead, and said with a pleasant face: "This is not good, we said at the beginning, as long as one of them dies, I will let you go." Rest assured, I am a trustworthy person and will never break my word. Don't worry, it'll be fine soon. ”
The boy burst into tears and pleaded, "Your Excellency, ......"
The middle-aged man looked at his younger brother with his feet fluttering in the air, and his face darkened, "My lord, we were wrong, please spare us." Please rest assured, we will never tell you the whereabouts of several of them. ”
Yang Zheng raised his eyelids, "Wrong? Who said they were going to sell us, in case they let you go, turn around and go to the snitch, when we are fools? ”
The middle-aged man swallowed a handful of saliva and said with difficulty: "Don't worry, with your skills, it is no problem to kill our small village, how can I gamble the lives of the whole village for a few dollars." ”
"Really?"
"Absolutely."
"That's right, harmony makes money, and harmony saves life." Yang Zheng glanced back, and with a wave of his hand, the rope on the tree broke, and the two people fell heavily to the ground, gasping for breath.
Carrying the three of them to the bonfire, Yang Zheng gestured slightly. Wu Yan leaned against a stone, pointed to the middle-aged man's lazy mouth and said, "I'll ask you to answer." ”
"Your Excellency, please speak." Finally picked up a life and came back, the middle-aged man no longer had the arrogance of his talents, and replied busily.
"Who are you, where do you live, how many are there?"
"My lord, we are all hunters, we live in the mountains about ten miles away from here, and there are more than 100 people in the whole village, and we make a living by hunting on weekdays."
"There can be towns around here, and there can be officers and soldiers nearby."
"Officers and soldiers? We belong to the Mo Zhi family here, and the family has its own soldiers and horses, but I don't know how many of them. ”
......
After some interrogation, Wu Gen learned that the middle-aged man's name was Ha Shan, and the other two were his younger brother Ha Chuan and son Ha Ying. The village where he lives is a most ordinary herdsman's village. Due to the barrenness of the mountains and the barrenness of the land, the whole village lives on hunting on weekdays.
The village is extremely remote, hundreds of miles away from the nearest village, and most of them are steep mountain roads, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is isolated from the world. The reason why he hid in such a remote place was actually because the Mo Zhi family's taxes were too heavy, so they had no choice but to move to their current location.
Wu Yan pondered for a long time, "Let's go, go to your village." ”
"Ah......h
