A scoop of cold water was poured on his head, and Qin Chong woke up suddenly. As soon as his body struggled, he realized that he was tied up. The hemp rope with the thickness of the thumb almost went into the flesh. Qin Chong shook his head violently and shook off the drops of water from his face. But I only felt weak and had a splitting headache.

"Ho, wake up, how did you sleep?" In my ears, there was a joking voice.

It was in a cave with dim light and foul air. Qin Chong glanced around and judged the environment he was in.

In addition to Qin Chong, there were two other people in the cave, both with bandages on their legs and arms, and their movements were limping. At this time, he leaned over and leaned in front of Qin Chong's eyes, looking very excited. It's like looking at the fish on the chopping board and enjoying the pleasure of being able to wreak havoc at will.

Qin Chong had already recalled that he was careless for a while, and he was overwhelmed by the smoke hidden in the broken sword, and he only felt annoyed in his heart. The tricks on the rivers and lakes are really full of tricks and are difficult to guard. The old ghost had been instructed thousands of times, but he still neglected to take precautions, so that he fell into the way.

Thinking about it carefully, Qin Chong felt deeply afraid. If these bandits are black-hearted and kill themselves with a knife, they will have reported to Lord Yama at this time. This is a tragic lesson related to life, and Qin Zhong vows that he must be deep in his heart and never make the same mistake again.

Underestimate the heroes of the world, and the last one who suffers must be himself.

"What is this place?" Qin Zhong asked.

"Is it here? It's a mine. One of them said casually.

"Silly? Why tell him? The other man was not happy, and raised his hand to slap his companion on the head. Xu forgot in a hurry that there was still a wound on his arm, and when he landed, the two of them grinned in pain.

"Bundled like this, can you still run away from him?" The bandit who said that he leaked his mouth, stalked his neck, and said with disdain.

"Silly? Forgot what the second master said? Another continued, "This mine is to be kept secret, and no one can reveal it. ”

"I didn't say what kind of mine it was, who knew this was a saltpeter mine?"

"You're stupid, don't you know when you smell your nose?"

"If you know, you'll know, what are you afraid of? Is that bed crossbow an ornament? Whoever dares to come, shoot him shit. ”

"What the fuck are you stupid, how many can you shoot with a bed crossbow? Seventy or eighty people, who are you shooting? ”

"Where did seventy or eighty people come from?"

"I'm just using an analogy."

"It's okay to be blind or anything, I thought there were really those people. Just about 20 of us, if we really came, what can we do? ”

..........

Qin Chong had a strange look on his face, look at this, look at that. I couldn't hold it back, and I couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" The two spoke in unison.

"Alas, it's a pity that the two of you are bandits, you should go and talk about cross talk."

"What is cross talk?" A person with a puzzled face stared at Qin Zhong and asked.

"A bandit is a bandit, why do you even add a local character?" The other's focus is very different from that of his companion.

Qin Chong's eyes were closed, and he didn't want to talk to these two living treasures. Originally, he was still thinking of talking about the situation in this place from the mouths of these two bandits. It's good now, without waiting for him to ask, you and I will say a word about these two goods, and explain the matter of the mine clearly.

Saltpeter mine, more than 20 people guarded, and a bed crossbow, Qin Chongquan knew.

At this time, Qin Chong, who didn't know that the men in the village, were all sent here to mine. It's just that I'm a little surprised in my heart, where did a group of bandits who occupy the mountains come from? The bed crossbow is a sharp weapon in the army, with a range of up to 800 paces. There are several in a string, which is terrifying.

The bed crossbow has a long enough range and does have the advantage of long-range strikes. However, winding can be very difficult. After each launch, it has to be dragged by a cow or horse before it can be wound again and loaded with crossbow arrows to fire. The delay was too long, and a few bed crossbows did not pose much of a threat to the charge.

If there is only one, to put it mildly, it is really an ornament.

However, this kind of large-scale weapon is extremely strictly controlled by the imperial court, and it will not be lost to the people, let alone appear in the bandits' dens.

Nowadays, there are bed crossbows in the bandits' dens, which is enough to show that the water in this mine is very deep. It can't be said that it is the collusion of officials and bandits, and there must be ulterior motives in it. Saltpeter can be used in medicine, however, it has a larger purpose, making gunpowder.

If it weren't for the imperial court mining, would anyone have more heads? What is the purpose of making gunpowder? With a few bandits, they don't have the guts yet.

"What are you doing here?" Qin Zhong asked again.

"Of course it's mining, otherwise who will raise you for nothing." The bandit said.

"Do you care about the rice?" Qin Zhong asked.

"Tube."

"I'm hungry." Qin Chong said with a sad face. This is true, and the chest of the hungry is pressed against the back.

"Want to eat? Gotta get to work first. ”

"It's okay to work, but you have to untie it first, right?" Qin Chong turned to the side and motioned for the bandits to untie the rope.

"The beauty you think." The bandit pursed his lips, pointed at Qin Chong's nose and said, "Want to work?" Let's take revenge first. ”

"What kind of enmity do I have with you?" At this moment, Qin Chong was stunned.

"Shout? Do you dare to deny it? You hit the two of us last night, you see, you see. As he spoke, the bandit stretched out his hand and stretched out his bandaged arm directly to Qin Chong's face. That's not all, he lifted his leg up again. The legs are also wrapped with bandages.

"Oh, it's the two of you." Qin Chong remembered that in the small courtyard of the mountain village, he beat two bandits.

Speaking of revenge, the two bandits turned unkind. How badly I was injured last night, and how much I hate Qin Zhong now. If you get the opportunity, how can you not report it back? One of them smiled darkly, reaching out and pulling at a cloth bag next to him. When he pulled, there was a "chirp" cry.

"Holy." Qin Zhong heard it, it was a mouse, and goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body.

"Hey, hey." When the bandits saw Qin Chong's color change, he laughed fiercely, and was about to untie Qin Chong's trouser pocket.

Damn it, these two goods are really damaged, they actually caught a bunch of rats and stuffed them into Qin Chong's crotch. At this moment, Qin Chong didn't dare to stretch it anymore, his chest and abdomen lifted his breath and suddenly struggled, only hearing the sound of "banging" twice, and he broke the rope on his body.

Without waiting for the two of them to react, they were pressed to the ground by Qin Chong one by one.

"Give me a crotch plug rat?" Qin Zhong said hatefully, "Lao Tzu let you two taste the taste first." ”

"Huh? No, no, spare your life. When the two of them heard this, their hairs stood on end, and they begged for mercy without a mouth.

"Hmph, you can't say no, can't you? Then I have no face. Qin Chong was not lightly frightened by these two goods, so naturally he would not spare them lightly.

"No." One of the bandits actually cried, sobbing and choking, "I haven't gotten married yet, and I can't use it if I bite it." ”

"Huh." Qin Chong was stunned and laughed. said slowly, "It's okay not to let the rats go, the master has something to ask you, and you must answer honestly." ”

"Okay, good, good, as long as you don't release mice, you can ask anything." The bandit burst into tears and laughed, and agreed repeatedly.

"Let me ask you, how many masters are there in the Black Tiger Village?"

"Two." The bandit didn't think about it, and stretched out two fingers and said.

"What's it called?"

"My name is Liu Er, and his name is He Hu." The bandit hurriedly said.

"I didn't ask your name." Qin Chong rolled his eyes, it was really a bit silly to co-authorize these two goods. "What's the name of the house?"

Qin Zhong inquired for a long time, his head was full of green tendons, and he didn't want to talk to these two anymore. However, I finally have a general understanding of Black Tiger Village. The name of the big boss is Shi Kaishi, and he is called the iron abacus. The second master is the hexagram master, the Taoist number is Cangfeng, and he is good at using poison.

The Black Tiger Village is full of people, no more than 100 people, and more than half of them are old and weak. However, since the second master joined the gang last year, Black Tiger Village began to train troops. In accordance with the regulations of the forbidden army, various positions were assigned. The two village owners served as commanders and deputy commanders respectively.

The second master is very mysterious, and no one knows where he comes from. However, the big boss trusts him very much, and the big and small affairs in the village are all handled by the second master. But to be honest, the second boss is really powerful, and the swords and guns of the forbidden army, and even bows, crossbows and arrows, have all been brought to the village.

Not long ago, the second master discovered this saltpeter mine and hired knowledgeable craftsmen to start mining. There was a shortage of manpower, so they went to a nearby village to arrest people.

And all the saltpeter that was quarried out was transported. As for where to send it, Liu Er and the two didn't know.

"That's right." Qin Chong remembered another person, so he asked, "What is the name of the man who made the double hammer?" ”

"His name is Dog."

"Dogs? That's it? Qin Chong couldn't imagine how a two-meter strong man could be called a dog.

"His surname is Lang, and after joining the gang, no one is allowed to call him by his surname." Said one of the bandits.

"Why?" Qin Zhong was quite interested in this big man.

"The dog is a dutiful son." The bandit said that the dog, and he didn't know what he remembered, and his expression suddenly paused.

"What a filial son? Tell me about it. Qin Zhong said.

"Two years ago, the dog's sister was snatched away by a son-in-law in the city." The two of them talked about the dog's past.

The Lang family is a nearby villager, with more than a dozen acres of land, a family of four, and a fairly wealthy life. However, as the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. A gentleman in Fuping County wandered to the village and town, and happened to bump into the dog's sister.

The dog's sister is eighteen years old, and she has already promised to marry someone, and she will get married in the new year. The people are beautiful, and the eight villages have a reputation.

When the gentleman saw this, he moved his hands and feet to the dog's sister, and made fun of him on the street.

The woman in the countryside has a pungent personality, and in the process of tearing, she scratched the gentleman. At this moment, the gentleman became angry and ordered a group of evil slaves, tied up the dog's sister and left, and threatened to sell them to the kiln in the city. Sister Gouzi cried and shouted, but no one dared to stop her.

Someone went to report to the dog, who was only sixteen years old at the time, but he was also tall and big. With a lot of strength, there is no one in ten miles and eight villages, and his personality is also hot. When he heard that his sister was snatched away, he chased after him.

The gentleman rode in a carriage, and the mountain road was not fast. It didn't take long for the dog to catch up with the carriage.

However, the gentleman was not at ease all the way, tied up the dog's sister, threw her in the carriage, and put her hands on it. It's just that the resistance is fierce, and the stumbling can't succeed for a while. Unexpectedly, Sister Gouzi's personality was strong, looking for a loophole, and she flew out of the car window.

She wanted to run away, but her hands and feet were helped, and she couldn't get up when she fell to the ground. Soon, Sister Gouzi was caught by the evil slave again.

At this moment, the dog's sister called Tianyi, cried unwillingly, and in despair, she bumped into the evil slave and jumped off the cliff. And this scene happened to be seen by the dog who was chasing. The distance between him and the carriage, which was only a few hundred paces, could not be crossed.

Poor sister Gouzi, she didn't see it in a panic, and her brother had already chased after her.

"Fuck." Qin Zhong slammed his fist on the cave wall, only to feel a breath of anger in his chest, and he was about to explode.

The two bandits were startled, and they felt as if the cave was shaking, as if the earth dragon had turned over. Looking at the wall of the cave again, a big hole was punched by Qin Chong. After realizing it, they realized that Qin Chong was also a fierce man like a dog, and they couldn't help but shrink their necks.

"What happened?" Qin Zhong asked in a deep voice. 's own sister also had an encounter like a dog's sister. Fortunately, he arrived in time at that time, beat Yao Gang, and finally saved his sister. And the dog lost his sister.

"The dog was furious and killed the bastard." The bandits said simply, in fact, that day, the dog chased and killed the gentleman all the way, and almost chased him to the county seat.

"But within two days, the county's arresters came to arrest people." Another bandit said, "I didn't find the dog, but I took the dog's father and mother." ”

"Arrest someone's father? Is there still a royal law? Qin Chong said angrily, but as soon as the words came out, he knew that he had said a. In this world, where is there any royal law? Even if there is, it is just a fig leaf for the court doctors.

"The dog fled into the mountains and escaped." "But his father and mother are all dead in prison." ”

"Dead?" Qin Chong was inexplicable, remembering the scene he happened to see when he visited the cell at night. It's so easy to die in prison.

"The dog has fallen into the grass, and no one is allowed to call him by his surname again." The bandit said.

In fact, the men, women and children of the entire Black Tiger Village know the dog's oath, do not take revenge, and dare not take the surname Lang.
