Chapter 6 Arrival
The robbers who fled to the depths of the jungle at night were only four of them, and the rest of the robbers had all been confessed.
However, for the few robbers who survived, they were not saddened by the death of their companions, but were glad that they had escaped.
All along, these robbers have only relied on weak gang ties to maintain each other.
A group of outlaws gathered together, because they had a few strengths and the ruthlessness to die, they have been doing the business of robbing homes and houses.
However, they are just a rabble after all.
If they had chosen a planned sneak attack today, then the outcome would never have been as bad as it is now.
Among the four people who survived, there was a small man who looked like a thin monkey, with a lewd expression, rolling eyes, and a treacherous face.
The reason why this guy has survived many battles is because he is particularly afraid of death, and every time he fights, he just hides on the periphery of the battlefield and shouts.
"What news did you bring with you? Can this be a soft fat sheep? You have pitted all of us! Now that your concubine is dead, labor and management will see who else can keep you. ”
The bandit leader pulled the thin monkey over and said angrily.
"Old ...... Boss, this ...... I ......"
The thin monkey looked at the cold steel knife in the hand of the robber leader in horror, and the whole person began to stutter when he spoke.
His concubine, that is, the bearded man, died in the battle just now, and no one can protect him anymore, and now in the face of the boss's anger, the thin monkey has only one thought in his heart, that is, he is finished.
The loss this time was so great that the boss said that it was impossible to let go of him, the spy who brought the wrong news.
In the dark, the thin monkey couldn't see the look on the boss's face clearly.
The air around him was a little stagnant, and the thin monkey suddenly shivered, shivering, and a sense of foreboding appeared in his heart.
"You can die!"
The angry bandit leader pushed the thin monkey out, and in the dark, the thin monkey staggered to the ground, and when everyone focused on the thin monkey, the bandit leader suddenly burst out, but slashed at another robber next to him.
The screams suddenly erupted, and a strong smell of blood rushed to his face, and the remaining bandit retreated after a brief distraction, only to be stabbed through by the bandit leader who rushed straight up.
When the bandit leader turned around and prepared to deal with the thin monkey he had pushed to the ground, he only saw the back of the thin monkey crawling towards the dense forest.
Can't let him escape!
The leader of the robbers hurriedly pursued, only to see that the thin figure in front of him suddenly became short, and the thin monkey let out a miserable scream and rolled down, disappearing.
The bandit leader who had tracked him stood on the edge of the slope, and after a few changes in his expression, he said indignantly, "Count your fate!"
The bandit leader went back and searched the bodies of the two robbers from before, and disappeared into the dark forest with the looted items.
He had already figured out that with his strength as a beginner martial artist, it would be better to do anything casually than to be a robber with these brainless guys.
......
On the other side, the crowd gathered around Lance and Ike, who had returned triumphantly, and praised the two young warriors with the few words of praise in their heads.
These almost brainless toutings made Lance and Ike, who had heroic dreams since childhood, feel very useful.
Ike, who has a calmer personality, is okay, and his face can still be tense in the face of this kind of praise, but Lance is already smiling.
Of the group, only the fat man Blanc did not praise them, but only looked at them with a grin, and his teasing eyes seemed to ask them: "Does it feel good to kill?"
However, Lance and Ike were completely unaware of Blank's teasing eyes.
After a short rest, the group got up and packed their bags, lit torches and drove the carriage out of the place overnight.
Just as it was getting dark, the group stopped by a river.
Breakfast was still the bean sauce soup cooked by the groom, and after a night of travel, everyone was already hungry, and at the bean master's bean's beans, the groom also added a lot of dried meat to the bean sauce soup.
When they saw the groom bring over the hot, somewhat sticky soy sauce soup, Lance and Ike quickly ran away in unison, followed by a retching sound from not far away.
After another retching, Lance and Ike sat weakly on the edge of the same tree trunk, staring blankly into the distance.
"Ike, that's how it feels after killing someone!"
Lance, whose face was still a little pale, looked at Ike, who was not much better than him, with a wry smile and whispered.
"Bernie has mentioned before that it's all normal and I think we'll get used to it pretty quickly. ”
Ike, who originally had a little dark skin on his face, was now a little pale, and he pretended to be calm, regardless of whether Lance next to him saw his embarrassment now.
"Although Uncle Bernie has said so, when I think of the eyes of those people before they die, I feel a little unbearable, and when I close my eyes, my mind is full of those bloody images. ”
Lance put a casual hand on Ike's shoulder, looked up at the direction of the rising sun, and whispered.
"If we don't let them despair, we may have to despair. ”
I didn't expect the usually taciturn Ike to be able to say such philosophical words, which made Lance's strange feeling after killing suddenly decreased.
"Now you know what it's like to kill someone?"
A voice came from a short distance behind the two of them, and without looking back, they knew who the person who was coming.
Blank smiled and walked over with two bowls of hot bean sauce soup and handed them to the two of them, with an indescribable treacherous look on his face.
Lance and Ike, who were about to open their mouths to answer, began to retch again when they saw the sticky bean paste soup in the bowl, and the pretense of composure was completely destroyed again.
Blank smiled even more, casually put the bean sauce soup on the side, and sat directly opposite Lance and Ike, looking at the pale faces of the two, it was indeed a little pitiful.
"My friend, I was already impressed that you were able to keep your composure during your first killing, you are very good, and I am becoming more and more curious about the teacher who taught you, what kind of person he is, who can teach such a good student as you. Blank asked with interest.
"Stop laughing at us, Blank, look at the mess we look like now......"
Lance gave Blank a blank look, and now he didn't care whether Blank was complimenting them or being sarcastic.
Blank suddenly raised his head slowly, looked into the distance, made a deep appearance, and after a moment he spoke: "When I first killed someone, I was much more embarrassed than you, and the desperate eyes and painful wails of that man before he died made me not sleep well for a month. ”
Seeing that Lance and Ike did not react to his words, the fat man, who had kindly come to comfort them, was a little distracted for a while, and stood up and walked in the direction of the carriage, saying, "Hurry up and eat your breakfast and continue on your way, and if you want to rest again, you will get the next town." ”
There was nothing wrong along the way, and under the guidance of the fat man Blank, intentionally or unintentionally, Lance and Ike quickly recovered from the adverse reaction of the killing.
After two more days of traveling, they finally arrived at the destination of their trip, the "River Valley".
