The lonely moon was in the sky, the night was cold, and there seemed to be a wolf howling in the mountains and forests.

Senior Brother Tian led the way and took everyone to the place where the goods were stolen before, and then Chen Yingjie and the others searched for clues around them, and gradually sorted out the route where the bandits left with the goods.

On a low cliff, they saw a faint fire more than a hundred feet away.

"It's too easy to expose so many fires in the middle of the night."

Chen Yingjie was puzzled, "These bandits, don't they have any brains?" ”

Su Hanshan looked at it for a moment and said, "Maybe there is fraud in it, you stay here, I'll get closer and see the situation first." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped down from the low cliff, tiptoe against the not too steep cliff, and he was cushioned step by step, as if he were walking flat into the forest below.

Soon, he approached the place where the fire was lit, and quietly hid in the canopy of a large tree, looking that way.

The number of bandits, about sixty or seventy, was enough to raise a dozen large fires.

At the edge of each fire, there are chipped clay pots and iron pots, suspended by wooden wires, boiling soup.

The bandits warmed themselves around the fire, their eyes fixed on the bubbling hot soup, and from time to time they stretched out their hands and rubbed them against the firelight.

They have a lot of clothes on them, and they look a little bloated, which should be very warm.

But Su Hanshan looked at it carefully for a while, and found that every layer of clothes worn by these people was in tatters.

I don't know how much sweat and dust it took to become such a uniform gray-black, black and shiny in the firelight.

In winter, this kind of clothing must be heavy and stiff on the body, but it can't retain much heat.

If you don't light a fire at night, you may not be able to walk when you wake up.

"The soup is almost ready, everyone listen to me."

Among the bandits, one of them stood up, wearing the same gray-black clothes, but wearing a gray-yellow dogskin hat, probably washed, and looked more decent than the others.

"I know, everyone hasn't smelled such a salty and fragrant smell of meat for a long time, and I can't wait for everyone to eat two or three bowls of him, but this batch of ham, when they came back from the daytime, they had already burned the skin directly with fire, scraped and cut, and ate a meal, and less than half of it was left."

This man was supposed to be a bandit leader, with a full beard and unclear facial features, but he was tall and had a loud voice.

"We've been hungry all the way, we should know what it's like to be hungry, and we don't know if we can encounter such a good thing later, so we must save some of these hams."

"To make soup at night, everyone eats three or four pieces of meat, two bowls of soup, drinks a full water, and never rushes to catch meat."

As the bandit leader spoke, he used a sharp branch to fork out three pieces of meat in the crockpot one after another, and put them in his broken bowl.

"I'll eat these three pieces at night, you all watch, never eat more!"

As soon as he finished speaking, some of the bandits responded to him.

"Brother Erhu, don't worry, we won't rob it!" "We all listen to Brother Erhu."

"During the day, the meat was actually hard and salty, so I poured a lot of cold water later, and the stew was good, and the taste was in the soup, and the soup was better than the meat."

"Fuck your uncle, count the most you eat during the day!"

The crowd laughed, and so did the bandit leader.

"Okay, the soup is too hot, be careful when drinking it!"

After the bandit leader sat down, the crowd began to eat the broth.

A few people gathered around the bandit leader and began to talk.

When Su Hanshan saw this, he used Rama's skills, his ears moved slightly, and he focused on those people.

“…… It's really just three pieces, it's too little, Erhu, you eat me! ”

"No, if you say three pieces, you will have three pieces, and you are not allowed to let them go, otherwise your sister-in-law will definitely give one of the food to the small ones."

The bandit leader sighed with emotion, "Sister-in-law, they should also make up for it." Hey, this meat stew is so delicious! ”

The person next to him said, "That's it! I used to have pickled ham at home, and I tell you, the ham I got today is all of the best quality, even when there was no famine before, no one was willing to buy it in our Jingerzhuang to taste it. ”

There was a man with a black-skinned hat, who ate the fastest, and the pieces of meat were one by one, and the soup was poured into the stomach.

"In my opinion, we don't have to save to this extent."

While scooping the soup in the crockpot, he said, "I've been wandering around for a while, and I've also inquired, and the counties around here are full of rich families." ”

"If this batch is eaten, let's grab another batch, and we won't worry about running out of food at all."

The bandit leader had just eaten a piece of meat, was sucking the oil star on the soup, and hurriedly swallowed it, saying, "You can't think so." ”

"Those rich people all invite bodyguards, please nurse the hospital, like the people who deliver ham during the day, there are a few people who are very skilled, I see that the sixth uncle and the eighth uncle have been beaten and swollen, and they haven't gone down yet."

"If we go to rob frequently, the food is in hand, and the person dies, then ......"

The bandit leader sighed and shook his head again, "There are only these people left in our entire Jingerzhuang, and it is best not to die again." ”

The man in the black hat said, "Then why don't we rob those who have the bodyguards of the nursing home, don't we have a family?" ”

The person next to him was stunned: "Buffalo, you want to rob the poor?" ”

"They're poor people, and every family has a surplus of food."

The black-skinned hat said hurriedly, "Every family has meat, fish, hanging in the yard, can it still be considered poor?" ”

Someone next to him hesitated: "We used to be good people, and we fled out, even if we became bandits, we didn't rob the poor." ”

Someone sneered: "It's as if you can grab it if you want to, those poor people on the road even eat mud, what can we grab from them, grab a body of mud?" Robbing them of a body of bones that weighed less than four taels on the scale? ”

When he said this, several people suddenly fell silent.

Even the black-fur hat pursed his lips when he looked at the oily soup in the bowl.

It's not that human bones can't be robbed, although their group of people haven't robbed them, but they are really used to taking people to cook soup and eat meat along the way.

"Anyway."

The black-fur hat kept the remaining half bowl of soup away from his nose and said, "If we rob them, we don't have to fight with any nurses, we don't have to hurt and die, and after we rob them, we will leave some for them, so that they won't starve to death." ”

"Didn't the old monk in Zhuangzi say in the past that the more people alive, the better it is, if we do this, everyone will live, a great thing!"

The bandit leader took a sip of the soup and didn't speak, but then nodded as well.

Su Hanshan in the forest thought for a moment and quietly retreated.

He alone will definitely not be able to stop more than 60 people, so he still has to notify Chen Yingjie and them to come together in order to catch all of them.

Although there were only about 20 people from the Songhe Martial Arts Hall, they already knew the level and origin of this gang of bandits, and of course they were quite confident.

After sneaking closer, everyone was not in a hurry to launch an attack, but dispersed first and made an encirclement in the forest.

At this time, the bandit leader, who was slowly munching meat next to the fire, suddenly raised his head.

"Something is wrong."

He stood up and looked around.

How could a few birds fly up from the woods at night?

"There's someone in the woods!"

The bandit leader shouted, "Take a knife, stand ...... who can fight"

The wind suddenly whistled from the woods, interrupting the shouts of the bandit leader.

Several fires in the vicinity made a hula sound, and the red and bright firelight elongated, like tongues of fire, blowing in the direction where the bandit leader was.

Su Hanshan's figure had already swept over the firelight, and he grabbed the bandit leader with one palm.
