Chapter 31: The Tooth Gang
Li Shou paused after being hit by the arrow, touched the back of his head, and looked behind him.
In the dark shadows, he couldn't see where the archers were hiding.
"Uh......" Then he covered his head and squinted his eyes and lay down on the ground.
A moment later, a group of teenage girls emerged from the stinking ditch.
They gathered in front of Li Shou.
"This person doesn't look like he's dressed like someone from Blackwater, you won't get into trouble if you kill him, right?" It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who spoke, and she looked a little timid.
"It doesn't matter which city he belongs to, the dead won't tell him." A seventeen-year-old boy squatted down and began to touch Li Shou's arms, "If we don't pay the people of the Tooth Gang any more, we will all be sold." ”
"What is the Tooth Gang?" When the young man touched Li Shou's gold and silver, he suddenly spoke.
"Ahh Ghost! This frightened the boy and almost fell to the ground.
"I shot you!" He clearly saw that his crossbow arrow hit the other party before he dared to appear, and that arrow hit the back of the head, even those martial artists in the martial arts hall had no reason to survive.
"Well, you shot me, but with a little less force." Before Li Shou could finish speaking, he saw several teenagers start to scatter and run away.
This group of people is obviously familiar with killing people and goods, and after reacting, they scattered in one direction and fled, and the escape route was very sophisticated.
But what kind of physical fitness is Li Shou now?
Not to mention these thin teenagers who can't eat enough, even if they are professional athletes, they can't run away.
He caught up with them in a few steps, then threw punchbags at the other two who fled.
Within three seconds, the problem was solved.
grabbed a few teenagers and threw them on the side of the drainage ditch where no one was, and before Li Shou could start asking, the methods of several teenagers came out again.
Two kowtowed and begged for mercy, and the other began to tell his poor background.
The only girl reacted a little slower, and was bumped on the shoulder by her companion and immediately said: "The little ones don't know Taishan, and they collided with the young master in the inner city, begging the young master to spare their lives!" ”
"Be sincere, as I said earlier." She was not active enough to beg for mercy, and was pulled by her companion again.
"Young master, in fact, don't look at the villain like this, in fact, many things can be done. And I washed and changed my clothes, no worse than those young ladies in the inner city, and I can endure hardships and anything. ”
In the last days, there is no dignity for man.
Li Shou looked at the scene in front of him and felt deeply.
In the modern earth, society can smooth out a person's edges and corners, can't the end of the world?
Money can buy human dignity, but what about life?
This world is a hundred times more cruel than the earth world.
However, cruelty is cruel, and Li Shou does not intend to let go of these few people who almost killed him.
"I'll ask you a few questions first, and if you answer them well, and if you answer them correctly, I'll let you go. Otherwise, just wait for the end of the skeleton in the gutter. ”
"Okay, young master, you ask."
"Before I ask, I will explain that if I ask any strange question, you should not ask why, just answer. Got it? ”
"Yes. Definitely do! "The boy with the crossbow is always the quickest to react.
"Okay, the first and most important question is, do you know that there is anything that can forge bones in Tongkang County?"
"Broken bones?"
"It's something that makes bones tough."
"Yes, I heard that warriors will soak bones with special herbs, and some beast bones can also be boiled in soup. Of course, the most effective thing is to eat the blood and spirit meat that those martial artists and masters eat when they practice. ”
The young man's face was full of doubts when he answered, and the person in front of him was obviously a martial artist, but he asked such a low-level question. But he didn't dare to ask rhetorically, he knew that it was easier to kill people in this world than to kill chickens, and no one would care about these things.
His life was in the other party's thoughts.
"That herb beast bones, as well as blood and spirit flesh, how do you usually get them?" Li Shou was very happy.
Sure enough, each "branch and leaf world" has its own different "local specialties".
He could use all of these things.
"There are herb shops, but they are very expensive, and the herb shops are all opened by the old men in the inner city, and the leftovers that are not used up in the meat field will be sold in the outer city!"
"You just mentioned the martial artists, are those martial artists in the inner city more powerful?"
"Yes, it's definitely better."
"How powerful? Am I awesome? "Li Shou wants medicinal materials, so he naturally wants the best.
As for how to choose the way to get it, it depends on the strength of the other party.
"I don't know, I really don't know the young master. We have been in the past ten years, let alone entering the inner city, and we have not even touched the walls of the inner city once. ”
"Well, that's normal." Li Shou nodded.
One of the prerogatives of the power hierarchy is regional segregation.
Ancient aristocrats did not mix with commoners.
In the last world, the Draconians and ordinary people were still segregated from each other.
And the world is darker, and the power class has extraordinary powers far beyond ordinary people, so it is all too normal to have greater separation of privileges from each other.
The appearance of these dirty teenagers in the inner city will only stain the eyes of the old men in the inner city.
"Do you know the strength of the warriors in the outer city?"
"We don't have much contact and we don't know...... But the leader of our tooth gang is a martial artist, one of the few martial artists we have come into contact with, and he is definitely not as strong as you. "As soon as the young man's eyes rolled, he was going to borrow a knife to kill someone," you can ask him directly if you have anything. ”
Li Shou is not a fool, and he can naturally feel his thoughts.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it is the same as his purpose, he can still push the boat with the current.
"Take me to your helper."
"Okay young master, I'll show you the way, can you let them go first?"
"No way!"
"You have the final say."
In this way, Li Shou had his first real intersection with the natives of the local world.
On the way to the Tooth Gang.
He learned that the boy's nickname was "Mulberry Snake", and his original name was Sangou.
I also know that the outer city is divided into seven markets, which are called from the outside to the inside: Heishui Fang, Poor People's Fang, Baoshu Fang, Material Paper Fang, Waiqi Fang, Rouge Fang, and Yanwu Fang.
The closer you are to the outer walls, the poorer you are, and the closer you are to the inner city, the richer you are.
He is now in the poorest and most chaotic Blackwater Square.
However, there are chaotic doorways, and the population business of the entire Tongkang County is basically carried out here.
The Tooth Gang is a gang that specializes in human traffic.
followed a few teenagers to a large courtyard that was incompatible with Heishuifang, and before they could enter, they were stopped by a strong man with a height of one meter nine.
"Mulberry snake, what are you doing?"
"This man is a warrior and wants to see the leader."
"Warrior?" The strong man originally wanted to question it, but when he saw the muscles on Li Shou's arms, which were already strong enough to draw, he nodded again, "Go in." ”
followed the mulberry snake into the courtyard, and as soon as he entered the door, Li Shou saw the most disgusting scene in his life.
The whole courtyard was like a hell on earth, and many women were tied to wooden stakes or soaked in water tanks, whipped and tortured in various ways, and some were so weak that they could not scream.
And more women are locked in cages, looking at it all with despair in their eyes.
Seeing Li Shou's expression, Sang Snake explained: "These are all to be sold to others as maids or directly to brothels." Before selling, you have to adjust it, otherwise you won't be able to sell it at a high price. ”
"How did these people get here?"
"Most of them are refugees from other places and people who have no roots in the local area. The Golden Tooth Boss is a cautious person, and he will inquire about the origin of others before arresting them. ”
"Speaking of roots, is there anyone on the tooth gang?"
"I haven't heard of it, those old men in the inner city don't like to do this kind of thing, and they will be laughed at. Anyway, they can just spend money on whatever they want, and they can't afford to dirty their hands by panning for gold in the dung pit. ”
"Then I know how to do it." Li Shou moved his muscles and bones and quickened his pace.
