Xiao Jiu sat in the main seat of the cottage meeting hall with a gloomy face and said nothing, and the rest of the people were either standing or sitting on the ground in the hall.

After a while, Zhang Ben walked in through the open door, and after whispering a few words in Xiao Jiu's ear, he retreated behind Xiao Jiu and stopped talking.

Xiao Jiu cleared his throat and began to speak: "Brothers, it was Wild Wolf Mountain that attacked the cottage today. ”

The hall was instantly agitated, although everyone had already guessed before, but now after confirming it from Xiao Jiu's mouth, everyone began to scold with righteous indignation.

Looking at the excited subordinates, Xiao Jiu didn't stop them, just listened to their quarrel quietly, and waited until the hall returned to calm before slowly speaking.

"The cause of this incident is that the wild wolf mountain thieves kidnapped Li Gui and transferred me away."

"He attacked the cottage from the back mountain forest and killed my compatriots."

"If it weren't for your brothers desperately defending their homeland, I'm afraid that Wild Wolf Mountain would be removed from this Lingshui County."

After Xiao Jiu finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in the hall were full of anger.

Yes, the granary was burned down, the hands and feet were killed, and the whole cottage was devastated, all thanks to the gang of thieves in Wild Wolf Mountain, how could they not hate?

You must know that the cottage grain is stored in two places, and the fire was set before, which directly burned half of the stored grain in the village, even if the fire was extinguished later, there was very little food saved.

The brothers who train together on weekdays died tragically, and they said that they would save money and buy land, marry a wife and have children? All illusions about the future are ended under the cold butcher's knife.

After a rough count of the casualties, more than 30 people who stayed in the cottage died more than 10 in battle, and the rest were more or less wounded, but none of them escaped from the mountain, desperately guarding the cottage, this determination moved Xiao Jiu.

As for the food, Xiao Jiu really didn't feel much distressed.

Now the two granaries in the cottage are basically enough for everyone in the cottage to eat for two or three years, even if half of it is burned, it will not have much impact on Xiao Jiu, but if the cottage can't be kept, it will be destroyed in an instant.

Xiao Jiu felt sorry for the more than ten brothers who had died, and before they could live a good life, they were in a different place.

They may have been despised mountain bandits before, but now they are a hundred times nobler than those coquettish literati.

Xiao Jiu couldn't do anything about their departure, the only thing he could do was to take their obsession and chase that unrealistic fantasy in this troubled world.

The dead have come to an end at this time, but the living people still have to continue to live, Xiao Jiu took a few deep breaths, adjusted his mood of being wrapped in sadness, and sent them back to prepare to bury the brothers who died in battle tomorrow.

On the second day, the land on the west side of Hare Mountain had been leveled out, and a separate open space was planned, which would be used as a cemetery for those who died in battle.

Xiao Jiu's eyes swept over the corpses of the soldiers lined up, and after covering them with white cloth to cover their faces, he put them into the coffins that he hurriedly made, and the other members of Hare Mountain beside him also showed sadness and were silent.

Immediately, a jar of altar burning knives was pulled, filled with ceramic bowls, and distributed to the hands of every member present.

Xiao Jiu also took a bowl from Zhang Ben's hand, and after all the members had finished distributing it, he held it high and said, "Brothers." ”

"Yesterday, the cottage suffered a catastrophe, thirteen brothers died in battle, and now the bones have been collected for them and buried in this green water and green mountains."

"You must know that without these dead brethren, you and I would not be standing here alive."

"On the other hand, didn't they die for you and me?"

"Therefore, I hope that everyone will remember their names, and in the future, you will not only live for yourself, but also live out their share."

"The deceased is gone, and we must continue to live, but before that, we must first avenge this blood vengeance to comfort the brothers who died in the war in the heavenly heroic spirit."

"Three days later, set foot on Wild Wolf Mountain and take revenge."

Xiao Jiu almost shouted these words, and after finishing speaking, he directly drank the wine and smashed the pottery bowl containing the wine.

The other members of Hare Mountain were all excited, and they smashed the pottery bowls one after another, shouting revenge.

…

On Wolf Mountain, the scar-faced man stood at the door of the dilapidated cottage with his hands in his hands, looking at the darkening sky, pacing back and forth, and finally turned into a sigh.

Sneak attack on Hare Mountain, basically buried the cottage combat power, only a dozen people escaped back, and now the cottage can still fight, less than 20 people are full, and the cottage that was full of people in the past is now also a door.

Until now, Scarface hadn't figured out why he had lost so completely, and more than fifty brothers died tragically in Hare Mountain, and the prestige he had established for a long time completely collapsed after this battle.

The current Wild Wolf Mountain gang can be said to be detached, not that they want to usurp Scarface's position, but they are worried that the people of Hare Mountain will come to the door to liquidate and start to endanger themselves.

The scar-faced man didn't dare to continue to think deeply, and said coldly to a mountain bandit wearing a felt hat beside him: "Go, go and meet that Li Gui." ”

After speaking, he walked to a low house in the corner of the cottage, and the mountain bandit with a felt hat on his head looked at the back of the scar-faced man gradually moving away, and his eyes revealed a touch of undetected ferocity.

After the bolt of the door of the low house was opened, a flash of moonlight shone into the dark wooden house, and Li Gui's father and son, who were imprisoned here, also turned their heads in unison and saw an ugly scarred face.

Before the two of them could sit up, they heard a slightly hoarse voice coming.

"Get up, and change your place."

After speaking, he stared at Li Gui's father and son indifferently, no matter how they begged for mercy, they were unmoved.

Seeing that begging for mercy was fruitless, Li Gui's father and son had no choice but to walk out of this temporary prison and follow the scar-faced man and his men to a two-story building in the center of the cottage.

Subsequently, the scar-faced man ordered his subordinates to bring a pair of shackles and bolt them to the pillar on the first floor, in a worse form than people, and Li Gui's father and son could only do so.

In the evening, the mountain bandit wearing a felt hat came to deliver a meal to Li Gui and his son, and while the meal was delivered, Li Gui asked the man and asked, "This hero, where is this place?" ”

When the mountain bandit heard Li Gui's inquiry, he didn't hide it, saying that this was Wild Wolf Mountain, and when Li Gui heard that this was Wild Wolf Mountain, his heart was already half cold.

Wolf Mountain? Isn't that the sworn enemy of Hare Mountain, and being brought here means that the relationship between Li Jiazhen and Hare Mountain has been exposed.

The more Li Gui thought about it, the more frightened he became, when he was tied up before, he thought that he had reached the mouth of the eagle's beak, and he was stupidly waiting for his youngest son to go home and get money to ransom people, but now it seems that this is not an ordinary kidnapping at all.

Thinking of this, Li Gui let out a long sigh, his body went weak as if he was appointed, and he collapsed on the ground.

But the mountain bandit who was talking to Li Gui had a flash in his eyes and said, "I have a way to live here, I don't know if Brother Li is willing to hear it?" ”
