Chapter 37: Black Iron Village
The eldest of the Li family did not come back after going up the mountain for a day, nor did he leave any news, but on the third day, the villagers found his body at the entrance of the village.
The family who learned the bad news burst into tears, and the eldest daughter-in-law and mother fainted several times.
Hearing this poor family talk about the difficulties suffered by the family, Dr. Li's father and daughter also didn't know what to say. The son who had been raised for many years was killed, and the daughter was missing, and no one could accept such a thing.
Zhong Yuanxiu, as a young man of twenty-five or sixteen, heard that the family's experience was becoming more and more angry, and he opened his mouth to promise to find his daughter for them.
…
At this time, Zhong Yuanxiu was riding a horse and running on the muddy road, holding a soul-breaking gun as high as him in his hand, and his waist was full of hidden weapons.
Asked all the way, many people knew the location of Heitiezhai, so he didn't delay any time on the way.
The passers-by Zhong Yuanxiu asked all looked at him with shocked eyes, and some of them would persuade him not to go and do stupid things. For this, Zhong Yuanxiu thanked them one by one and left.
"Humph! The location of the thief's den is known to so many people, but the government doesn't care, but it's interesting. Zhong Yuanxiu snorted coldly in his heart, he knew how painful the people in the feudal society were.
In a dense shrub more than ten miles away from the Black Iron Village, Zhong Yuanxiu tied the night wind to a tree, and then reset the trampled grass and trees, so that there was no change here.
Zhong Yuanxiu, who was carrying a silver spear, walked cautiously in the jungle, surrounded by weeds and vines more than half a person high, such an environment made his progress very slow, and it took him more than half an hour to reach the foot of the Black Iron Village.
This kind of route is to avoid encountering bandits on the way and save unnecessary trouble.
According to the woodcutter in Xiniu Village, the Black Iron Village is located halfway up the highest mountain in this area, and there is only one way to enter the village, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
At the foot of the mountain, a pair of eyes are scanning the surrounding terrain in the weeds, trying to figure out the best route up the mountain.
The path directly on the mountain is definitely not to be walked, there must be a sentry set up by bandits on the way, and there is no road at all in other directions, all of which are steep cliffs and difficult to walk.
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Yuanxiu moved towards the right side of the foot of the mountain until he reached the right side of the Black Iron Village. There is no trace of activity here, and the vegetation is complete.
Zhong Yuanxiu, who used the grass, poked his head out, no longer hid his figure, his legs suddenly exerted his strength and went straight to the peak, under the increase of eightfold strength, he soon arrived halfway up the mountain, looked at the bottom of the mountain and the top of the mountain, confirmed the route and exerted his strength again, and after a while, he came to a side of the rock wall vertically, there was no longer a place to put his feet in front, only some small cracks, and such a mountain was seven or eight zhang high, not ordinary people can climb.
Call! Bite!
The silver spear in his hand was thrown by Zhong Yuanxiu, and the head of the spear pierced into a height of four zhang, and then he let out a muffled snort in his nose, and jumped steadily on the body of the spear with all his might, and then jumped again, and went up more than four feet, and easily reached this rock wall.
Today's Zhong Yuanxiu is no longer an ordinary human being, but an eightfold martial artist with top basic strength, this height is not a problem for him, not to mention the increase in Snow Silver Marksmanship and Light Touring Technique.
After getting on the rock wall, the other terrain did not pose a problem to Zhong Yuanxiu, and he controlled his body to jump quickly on the mountain peak, and after a short while, he saw the scenery below the mountain peak.
On the mountainside, there are indeed some clusters of buildings, most of which are made of stone, either thatched or tiled, without any specific style, just randomly scattered everywhere.
Zhong Yuanxiu no longer leaped quickly, but slowed down his body and approached the mountainside, ensuring that he would not be exposed.
It is already very close to the camp of the bandits, and there is no way to go further, and below is a cliff wall as high as more than 20 zhang, even if a warrior like Zhong Yuanxiu falls, he will be dead and lifeless.
Finding a weed, Zhong Yuanxiu lay there motionless, only exposing his eyes to observe the situation below.
In the middle of the stockade, there were several bamboo poles with human heads hanging on them, and one was dripping with blood, which should have just been cut down.
On this day, there are often bandits who come out to fight in twos and threes, all of them are ordinary bandits, and their kung fu is not high. Of course, there are more than these things in it, what makes Zhong Yuanxiu feel like is that there are many bandits below in broad daylight, pulling a group of naked girls to fornicate in public, and the screams come and go, but from beginning to end, this group of bandits has never had a trace of mercy, and hearing the screams has stimulated their bestiality even more, and a girl was tortured to death on the spot.
After doing this and this, the group of numb and soon-to-be-numb girls were pushed back into a wooden house, and occasionally a thief would pull out a girl or two to vent.
When the time comes, the bandits all come out of their houses or caves, their chopsticks in their hands, ready to eat. Some of the older thieves were at the table, and some of them sat on the ground casually, or leaned against the trees and ate them.
Zhong Yuanxiu, who was lying on his stomach, carefully counted the heads below, there were more than 100 people without duplicates, and they belonged to a bandit den of normal size.
"The big boss is back!" At the entrance of the cottage, several bandits shouted loudly.
After a while, a middle-aged man crossed the knife into the stockade, with a fierce look in his eyebrows, and at a glance he knew that he was a ruthless person.
"Big boss!"
"I've seen the big boss!"
"Boss!"
The people in the Black Iron Village were all in good spirits, and they didn't dare to slack off, and they all stepped forward and nodded their heads.
"Everyone has worked hard these days, let go of eating, and the wine and food are enough!" The big boss said loudly, his tone was full of domineering.
"Thank you!" The bandits responded.
"Cheng Hu?" Zhong Yuanxiu, who was on the mountainside, squinted his eyes slightly and spoke slowly.
When he saw the familiar figure at first glance, Zhong Yuanxiu remembered a person, but he didn't remember it for a long time, until Cheng Hu opened his mouth to speak, which reminded him of the ruthless man on the martial arts platform.
After three rounds of drinking, the sky gradually darkened, and torches were lit one after another in the black iron village.
At this point in time, Zhong Yuanxiu was already lying on the mountainside to observe, and he had no intention of going down the mountain at all, he wanted to see what the daily routine of these bandits was.
"Get out! Hurry up! Beware of Lao Tzu pumping you! A group of thieves drove out all the girls in the two huts with torches, and those who walked slowly were given two lashes.
The girls were dressed in tatters, showing one piece in the east and one in the west, and their hands and feet were stained. They were herded into a large pit and jumped under duress.
"Look at what the hell you stinky girls have become, today the uncle will take a bath for you, take off your clothes and throw them up!" One of the leading bandits said in a loud voice, and a strange grin came out of his mouth.
Many girls were unwilling, but under the deterrence of the sword, they still took off their clothes cleanly, and the thieves on the pit all smiled at the corners of their mouths, and their eyes were glowing with lewdness.
It didn't take long for a dozen thieves to carry wooden barrels full of water and splash them down with all their might, causing the girls to scream incessantly. In this way, the bandits carried the water back and forth three times, and they felt that they were almost flushed before stopping.
The girls who had just gotten up from the pit stood with their chests crossed, their bodies trembling and obviously cold. The bandits didn't care about this, they couldn't control it anymore, and they took action on the spot.
"Humph!" Zhong Yuanxiu was furious, and smashed a stone next to him with one punch.
He has only seen such scenes in TV series and movies, and living in a modern society under the rule of law, it is basically impossible for such a situation to occur.
After this day's observation, Zhong Yuanxiu made up his mind and vowed to destroy this group of animals.
With the help of the moonlight, which was still bright, the man in gray jumped down the cliff with his vigorous skills, and also pulled out his soul breaking gun.
