Chapter 9 - The Hu Brothers
Lin Yang saw the man leaving, and said a little mysteriously: "What's the hurry, I found a pit with a lot of spirit stones in it.
You can dig up several spirit stones with a single sword. ”
The man stopped, turned back to Lin Yang and said, "Brother, is what you said true or false, how about taking my brother to dig a few pieces together?"
Lin Yang deliberately said a little pretentiously: "No, no, the mine I finally discovered, I have to keep it and dig it slowly."
Everything else is easy to discuss, but this thing will definitely not work. ”
The man sneered and said, "Boy, you are not very old, you are quite funny, I have been digging spirit stones here for more than a year, and I have never heard of a pit where there is a knife that can dig out several spirit stones, you are just happy and happy!"
Lin Yang also laughed, without admitting or denying it.
However, these few words attracted the attention of many miners around.
Some are envious, some are jealous, and some are ill-intentioned.
After a while, Lin Yang also stood up.
patted his buttocks, and muttered in his mouth: "I still have to dig more spirit stones to save up next month's rations in advance." ”
After speaking, Lin Yang walked towards the depths of the mine alone.
In a short time, he disappeared around the corner of the mine ahead.
Lin Yang clearly saw from the corner of his eye that the scar-faced miner also stood up and walked in the direction he left.
Immediately afterward, another emaciated miner sitting next to him also stood up.
The two of them left the resting place one after the other, and walked in the direction they had left.
After Lin Yang saw this scene, he was happy in his heart, and the fish finally took the bait.
So, while speeding up his pace, he hummed a little song leisurely, but his eyes kept looking back.
Seeing that the two of them moved very quickly, they were about ten zhang away from themselves.
At this distance, the average person simply can't see anyone following behind.
However, with Lin Yang's eyesight, he could clearly see the two of Scarface.
Lin Yang walked directly to the depths of the mine.
Passing through a mine pit and coming to a relatively remote mine, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Boy, stop, hand over the spirit stone bag!"
Lin Yang stopped, and when he looked back, he saw that it was the scar-faced miner, who was already standing in the middle of the mine at the moment and blocking the way out.
Before Lin Yang could speak, a hoarse voice also came from the other end of the mine.
"Boy, obediently hand over the spirit stone, our brothers will spare your life today, otherwise you will be dead. ”
Lin Yang turned his head to see that it was the emaciated miner who was often with Scarface.
The man went around in front of him and blocked his way.
In this way, Lin Yang was blocked by the two of them in the middle of this mine, and there was no other way to escape.
In fact, Lin Yang had already taken a fancy to the terrain here, and he deliberately lured the two of Scarface to come here.
It's relatively remote, and there are very few other miners mining nearby.
And next to this passage, there is also a passage that can go around to the front of this passage.
After Lin Yang came to this mine, he deliberately slowed down his speed, in order to create an opportunity for the two of them to encircle him.
At this time, the scar-faced miner said: "Boy, it's strange that you are too young, you like to show off too much, the spirit stone is left, and the jade pendant is left."
I will not kill you, or this will be your burial place. ”
Lin Yang smiled and said unhurriedly: "Two big brothers, I have no grievances with you, just let me go, I can give you a few spirit stones." ”
"Ha-ha-ha!"
There was a shrill laugh behind him.
It was the emaciated miner in the back.
This person laughed and said, "A few spirit stones, you are asking for food when we are us, hurry up, we want all the spirit stones you have mined." ”
While speaking, this person had already walked in front of Lin Yang, and reached out to grab the cloth bag containing the spirit stone on Lin Yang's shoulder.
Lin Yang flashed to the right, grabbed the right hand stretched out by this person, and forcefully brought it into his arms, and at the same time stumbled under his feet.
The man immediately came to a and fell heavily to the ground.
"Boy, you dare to do it!"
Behind him came the voice of the scar-faced miner.
Scarface didn't expect that this new miner would dare to hit someone first.
So, after shouting, he waved his fist and hit Lin Yang in the face.
Lin Yang slumped and dodged Scarface's punch.
At the same time, he swung his right fist and hit Scarface's stomach firmly.
"Oops!"
A scream was heard.
The Scarface Miner took a few steps back.
"Plop!"
Fall to the ground.
Cover your stomach with your hands and keep rolling.
A burst of sound came out of his mouth.
"Ouch, ouch, it hurts me!"
Now the power of Lin Yang's fist, even he couldn't believe it, and before he knew it, it was several times greater than before.
Scarface is a middle-aged man, half a head taller than Lin Yang, with big shoulders and a round waist, and is very strong.
Supposedly, a few punches and kicks are not a good thing at all.
However, just one punch from Lin Yang made the scarface fall to the ground, and he couldn't stand up with his teeth grinning in pain.
Lin Yang took out the mining knife, and the tip of the knife was pressed against Scarface's throat.
Sharply asked, "Do you want to die or live?"
Scarface was already frightened at the moment, and the fierce wind just now was swept away, and he was lying on the ground and didn't dare to move at the moment.
The mouth kept pleading.
"We want to live, we don't want to die, boss, what do you want?
Our brothers give it to you, as long as you don't kill us. ”
The scar-faced miner has changed his name to Boss Lin Yang at this moment.
"Okay, tell the truth, tell a lie, I'll stab you to death immediately, what's your name?"
Scarface opened his mouth and replied, "My name is Hu Jun, and he is my cousin's name is Hu Ming." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the emaciated miner who was knocked down by Lin Yang in front of him.
Hu Ming was just stumbled by Lin Yang and fell to the ground and was not injured.
I wanted to get up and teach this kid a lesson with my eldest brother.
But before he could get up, he saw his eldest brother being punched to the ground by this person, rolling on the ground, wailing in pain.
This Hu Ming's brain reacted very quickly, and at a glance, he knew that this person didn't look very old, but he was definitely a guy who was not easy to mess with.
simply continued to lie on the ground, not daring to get up.
Lin Yang then asked, "Do you know a miner named Mu Feng?"
After Hu Jun heard this, he looked away.
"I don't know!"
Lin Yang took off the red jade pendant from his neck and shook it in front of Hu Jun's eyes.
He said coldly: "You know this jade pendant!"
Hu Jun said suspiciously: "I found a jade pendant that is the same as this jade pendant, which was found from the corpse of a dead man. ”
Lin Yang asked with some doubts: "Corpse, didn't you kill that person?"
Hu Jun hurriedly replied: "No, boss, we didn't kill that person, we have never killed anyone." ”
Lin Yang slowly squatted down and said to Hu Jun: "Don't play with me, I obviously heard you say that you did a vote and got a jade pendant from that person, could it be that I heard it wrong." ”
Hu Jun hurriedly replied: "Boss, you heard it right, I did say so, but I lied to them, we often die here, some die of illness, and some are killed by people."
I said that on purpose, my brother and I didn't hurt anyone, and we were afraid of being remembered by others.
That's why we pretended to be vicious in front of those miners, and our brothers have never killed anyone!"
Lin Yang turned around, looked at Hu Ming on the ground, and asked, "Is what he said true?"
Hu Ming nodded hurriedly and said, "It's true, our brothers really haven't killed anyone, I don't believe we took you to see that person's body." ”
Lin Yang withdrew the mining knife on Hu Jun's neck and said, "Okay, go immediately." ”
Lin Yang accepted Hu Jun and Hu Ming's knives, asked Hu Ming to take off his clothes and tie a knot for Hu Jun's hands to tie upside down, and tied Hu Ming's hands himself.
The reason why they successfully took down this brother surnamed Hu just now was because they were defenseless.
If you let them run away or call someone else, it's a bit of a hassle to plan for yourself for so long.
Therefore, there must be no room for error.
The Hu brothers have been mining here for almost three years and are extremely familiar with the routes.
After walking around and around, about the time of a meal, I came to a remote mine.
The inside of the mine was so dim that a corpse could be seen lying inside.
Lin Yang asked, "Is there an oil lamp?"
Hu Jun hurriedly replied: "Boss, no, there is only one oil lamp from the captain Li Er, and you can see it clearly by borrowing the light of the spirit stone."
The man had a wound in his throat, as if he had been bitten by a wild animal. ”
Lin Yang took out two spirit stones, although the light was weak, but when it shone on the corpse, he could indeed see the person's face clearly.
I saw that this person's hair was scattered, his clothes were disheveled, and his dark face was somewhat similar to Mu Yiping.
Lin Yang looked at it again, and his height and body shape were about the same as Mu Feng that Mu Yiping said.
It can be concluded that this person should be Mu Yiping's second son Mu Feng.
Mu Feng had multiple wounds on his body, and these wounds seemed to have been bitten by a wild beast.
In particular, the wound on the corpse's neck bit the throat and led to the person's death.
Lin Yang put the spirit stone close to Mu Feng's neck again, and saw a wound the size of a small fist, and his throat had been broken.
Judging by the shape of the wound, it was indeed caused by a wild beast biting its throat.
Hu Jun saw the wound on Mu Feng's neck and hurriedly added, "Boss, you saw that the wound was bitten by a beast.
When we came here that day and found the body, we were so scared that we wanted to turn around and leave.
But I noticed that there was a glittering thing on the corpse.
So, I walked over with courage, and the glowing one was a red jade pendant, and I took it off from the man's neck.
At the same time, he also picked up his spirit stone pocket.
My brother and I were also greedy for money at that time, and we didn't kill anyone. ”
