Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 54 A Mother as a Hostage

Li Wanzong takes care of business all the year round, walks on the scene a lot, and knows that in today's world, there are many heroes in troubled times, and it is difficult for heaven to survive and seek peace. More is better than less, so he clenched his wife's palm, deaf to the ear, and planned to hurry.

But Mrs. Li stopped and carefully identified the direction from which the shout came, "The person in charge seems to be a girl shouting for help." ”

"Madam, it's dark and the road is dangerous, so let's hurry. ”

But Mrs. Li broke free from her husband's wrist, "In this wilderness, I don't know how a young woman can be in danger, let's go and see if we can help her." So saying, he insisted on going to see what was going on.

Li Wanzong repeatedly failed to stop him, sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to follow his wife, following the direction from which the voice came, and walking towards the depths of the dense forest.

"Help, help...... the voice became more and more real, and occasionally a man scolded him rudely, "Scream, and then call you to chop you up today and feed it to the wolf." ”

Li Wanzong pulled his wife's clothes, and wanted to make a final dissuasion, but his wife was stubborn and had to go to see what was going on.

Finally, turning a hill corner, the couple suddenly saw a clearing hidden in the middle of the chaotic forest, but there were many uprooted shrubs in the clearing, or it could have been artificially cut down for other purposes.

In the middle of the clearing, more than a dozen torches surrounded two helpless figures, one lying on the ground, motionless, not knowing whether it was dead or alive. Another girl who was still struggling, a green shirt had been torn out a lot, and the neckline had obviously been torn, revealing a snow-white chest, which had to be tightly covered with her hands, her lips trembling and still pleading, a pair of eyes full of horror, trying to find a trace of pity in the surrounding crowd. The previous help was shouted by the girl in green.

Look at the dozen or so black-clothed men, the first one is a tiger with a bear's waist, and a wide belt, and on the chest of the deliberately open placket, there is a colorful tiger with teeth and claws, and with the swaying flash of the torch, it seems that it will pounce out and devour the living at any time.

Next to the strong man, a thin man, with a black cloth wrapped in an eye patch on his narrow forehead, covering one right eye, holding the torch in his hand, shining on the girl who was curled up and half-squatting on the ground, the light of greed flowed in his eyes, but because of the tiger strong man, he forced the evil thoughts in his heart, and said flatteringly,

"Big brother, this little lady is still a chick, since she stepped on our plate, she should naturally honor her eldest brother first, that is, the eldest brother is happy, can you let our brothers follow the light. ”

"That's right, our brothers are also following the eldest brother. The leopard-headed and eyed guys next to her waved the guys in their hands, shouting and coaxing, making the green-clothed girl tremble even more with fright, she lowered her head and shook the figure lying on the ground, "Dad, wake up, wake up." ”

The mouth of the lying man was still dripping with blood, but there was no trace of life, and the girl immediately cried when she saw this.

Li Wanzong looked at the fierce faces surrounding the girl, he gasped in his heart, took his wife's hand and wanted to turn around and escape, but he knew that this open space was empty, and the lantern in their hands had just turned over the boulder at the corner of the mountain, and was immediately discovered by a group of bandits, presumably the reason why they chose this place was also because it was inconvenient to be surrounded or ambushed.

"What people!" Although the lean bandit was one-eyed, he was the most shrewd, and when he saw the flash behind him, he shouted violently, not only to remind his accomplices of their attention, but also to test how many people Li Wanzong and his wife were.

Mrs. Li was so frightened by this rough roar that she couldn't take a step, Li Wanzong saw that there was no hope of escaping, so she had to take a few steps forward, stabilized her mind, and clenched her fists with both hands.

"All the heroes, it is difficult to walk at night, we and my wife got lost and mistakenly entered your treasure land, I wonder if all the heroes can show us a way out. ”

Li Wanzong looked at the snow-bright weapons in the hands of the bandits, although he was frightened, but thinking back to his years of experience in walking on the scene, don't mess with yourself first, maybe you can find a glimmer of life.

"Husband and wife?" the one-eyed thief was happy in his heart, pushed one of his subordinates in front of him, came up with a torch, and specially shone on Mrs. Li's face,

"Yo he, don't blame me for going out today, my eyelids are jumping, and I have sent a little lady to the door. He swept his eyes over Mrs. Li's body again, and saw that although Mrs. Li was nearly forty years old, she had been climbing the mountain to bring water and food to her son all the year round, and the curve was still beautiful, and she swallowed her saliva with difficulty.

"Big brother, or the little lady will be left to the eldest brother, and this half-old will be rewarded to me as a wife. When he confirmed that there were really only two couples, he pushed away the little thief who was blocking the front, and he was about to arrest Mrs. Li.

His wife was humiliated, Li Wanzong clenched his fists, but his three-legged cat's kung fu, once he angered these bandits, he was afraid that he would ask for his own hardship, so he had to accompany his smiling face, "I can't help it, I can't help it" and pulled Mrs. Li to dodge.

"Slap", a loud slap hit Li Wanzong's face, his body shook a few times, and then his ears began to buzz.

"If you don't dodge away, Lao Tzu will deflate you first. One-eyed shook the steel knife in his hand at Li Wanzong.

One-eyed and thin words, Mrs. Li's face was pale, but in order to stabilize everyone and save her husband, Mrs. Li endured it and did not have a seizure, but just bit her lip, and suddenly a bloody smell appeared in her mouth.

However, thinking that the expression "" could still come out of the mouth of this thief, Mrs. Li decided to take a risk

"Don't make fun of me, this big brother, I see that you are also a person who reads poetry and books, you must have encountered some difficulties to grieve the mountains and forests. You see that I am also an old pearl yellow, and that girl is young and untamable, so it must not hurt people. My lord still has some savings, and I would like to give it to all my brothers to find a better livelihood, so that the brothers can have a place to stay, and then marry a wife who will warm people's feet, wouldn't it be better than now. ”

Mrs. Li originally wanted to use money to pave the way and buy the thieves to let herself and the girl in green go, but the meaning of these words was tasted by the tiger boss.

"What does this lady mean? Didn't you let us break up and break up the business? Then what kind of boss am I?" The tiger boss walked a few steps forward with a shy stomach, and then saw that Mrs. Li was indeed charming, compared to the girl in green, it was a taste, sucked the saliva on the side of her mouth, and said viciously,

"You mother-in-law dare to come and tear down my signboard? Tell you, it's your honor that the uncle takes a fancy to you, besides, can't I cut you two down first, and then go to your house to dig some silver." Second and third, hold down that man, I'll cut off his head first. ”

Mrs. Li stepped forward to block her husband, "I'm a woman who doesn't speak well, so don't blame my eldest brother." ”

"Oh, that's pretty much it, come on, then let me put out the fire, and I won't blame you. As he spoke, the Tiger Boss smiled lewdly and stretched out a pair of big hands like bear paws to Mrs. Li.

At this moment, even Mrs. Li had no idea, and she was so frightened that she retreated again and again.

"Big brother," Seeing that Mrs. Li was about to suffer, One-Eye suddenly stood up. The eldest was blocked by One-Eye, and his face was full of displeasure, "Second brother, don't worry, the eldest brother will naturally be yours when he has played enough." ”

"No, big brother, I didn't mean that. As he spoke, One-Eyed pulled the tiger aside and whispered to him, "Boss, I think the silk and satin worn by these two people are of high quality, and they should have a lot of furniture, so why don't you dissipate your anger first, let the man go back and send all the family property over, and then redeem this old lady." ”

"Really?" The tiger boss looked at the clothes of the Li couple according to One-Eye's analysis, it was indeed as One-Eye said, but he was unwilling, "Damn, Lao Tzu doesn't want that bit of broken money, and he wants to deal with this woman, what's wrong, One-Eyed, you really like this woman to be your wife." Can't even the eldest brother taste it first?"

"No, no. One-Eye hurriedly explained, "Big brother, don't misunderstand me." As long as it is the eldest brother's favorite, who dares to covet it. I'm just thinking about using this girl as a hostage first, I'm not afraid that kid won't take all the family property, and when we get his family down, then this girl is not a big brother, and I can do whatever I want?"

When the boss heard this, he nodded contentedly and patted his one-eyed thin shoulder, "It is said that there are many people who read books, and you are really bad." Okay, then do as you say. Also, what does it mean to be arrogant, don't keep this sour chirp in front of me in the future. ”

"Yes, yes, the big brother taught me. With a few words of flattery, the one-eyed man tied up Mrs. Li and took her to the cave behind the camp. The woman in green had a glimmer of illusion completely shattered, and she wailed as the thieves carried her father's body to the edge of the cliff on the side of the flat land.

She didn't care about the girl's reserve and dignity, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged these thieves to let her go, but she didn't know that in exchange for another wave of punches and kicks.

Finally, her head was broken and bleeding, and the exhausted girl no longer dared to resist at all, and her eyes were blank and the boss's bear paws grabbed the placket on her chest, carried it to her shoulders, and entered the depths of the dense forest.

Li Wanzong relied on his courage to desperately try to snatch back Mrs. Li, but he was beaten by a group of thieves with a blue nose and swollen face, and Mrs. Li, who was tied with her arms behind her back, shouted,

"Stop. ”

Everyone really stopped, and Mrs. Li said to One-Eye, "My husband is a bit brainless, let me scold him twice, he will go back to get the money back." ”

One-eyed unexpectedly retreated from his subordinates according to Mrs. Li's wishes, probably to show that he was a scholar, and took a few steps back with everyone.

Mrs. Li Wanzong climbed in front of Mrs. Li at the scars on her husband's body distressedly, held back the tears in her eyes, and lowered her voice and said, "I'm sorry, I can't save people, and you will also fall into the hands of thieves." What I said just now is just to deceive these robbers into letting them go, and after the husband leaves, find Guang'er as soon as possible to take him home, and never come here again. ”

"No!" Li Wanzong was reluctant.

Seeing that the thieves behind her surrounded her again, Mrs. Li suddenly raised her voice,

"You and I are husband and wife, we should be of one heart and one mind, I must do what I ask my husband, the value of the concubine depends on the husband's weight!"

"Madam!" Li Wanzong's tears rained down.

"Husband, thank you for not giving up, you have been in the same boat for several years, please ......be sure to agree" After speaking, Mrs. Li burst into tears, turned around and followed the escort to everyone, leaving behind Li Wanzong, who was still sobbing.

Li Wanzong thumped his chest, but there was nothing he could do, and when he looked up again, there was no one in front of him.
