Chapter 33: Escape

Rushing out and calling those people back? Pai Gang Tusi never thought about it, it was a group of the most elite Yi Ren warriors, who had come all the way to this place under the continuous attacks of wild beasts, poisonous insects and other Yi people, not some bleating lamb that could be stopped by his own strength, and in the same way, the power that could make them abandon the weapons they relied on for a living, support their belongings for so long, and line up to go to Black Mountain, was certainly not something Pai Gang Tusi could face.

He had been holding his knife a moment ago, but now he was clinging to the tree in front of him, hugging into a ball, trying not to make any movement, and maintaining this position until the sun shone on his head again.

Then he rushed straight in the way he came, neither looking back, nor caring about the weapons, his belongings, or the tethered horses that had been left behind.

Pai Gang Tusi is an extremely greedy toast when it comes to plundering, but he has always understood the truth that money is something outside of his body, and he can be extremely generous when he needs it, even if the property abandoned in the camp is ten times more, he will not look back - anyway, the owner of these possessions is Hua Lin, not him Pai Gang, he has already calculated in his heart, if Hua Lin has the ability to deal with the power in the mountains, he can naturally retrieve these goods, if he can't, can he expect Pai Gang who was captured by him to be able to?

He trekked hard in the mountains for two days before he came to the cottage which he could reach on horseback for a day, and he wandered outside this cottage for a long time, and finally found an opportunity, cut down a wrangler, rode a horse, took a horse, and galloped away in the direction of Gala Cave.

In order to capture these two horses, he took a lot of effort and used a knife against Yiren's subordinates who had been drinking together a few days ago, but all this was necessary. He had a lot of money in his arms, and if he had bought twenty horses in this cottage a few days ago when he had fifty men with him, but if he had not brought fifty of his men as he did today, then it was obvious that his money, as well as his own money, would have become the new property of the cottage - this is the social law of the Yi people.

What Pai Gang Tusi wants is horses and supplies, he doesn't care about money and silver, and the last thing he wants is to risk killing people himself, he is Tusi, not a cannon fodder slave! But under the laws of society, he can only choose to take risks and kill people! And all he gets is horses to drive, no supplies he urgently needs!

This meant that he would have to continue to live like a savage for many days to come, living on the occasional wild beast he hunted and the wild fruit he picked, and the possessions he carried with him were as worthless as the stones of the mountains when he was alone!

If it weren't for the more calamity it brought to him.

"These lawless savages!" said Paigang Toast, who was filled with hatred at the old system of Yishan as he had to chew on a few larvae dug out from under the bark to fill his stomach, and he had hidden the smallest piece of his silver purse, which in a normal trade was enough to buy a pig and a jar of wine, and to entertain ten samurai with a full meal, but at this time he could not buy anything. He is the son of Toast, and he can't be said to be a good hunter, but he has always been accustomed to riding a horse and a dog to hunt, and he has the ability to put clips and dig traps to make harpoons on ordinary hunters, which is a complete layman, not to mention that he is afraid of meeting those Yi people who come to hunt, and he does not dare to approach the best hunting grounds.

If there is any benefit that Yishan's fratricidal society has brought him, it is that his weapons and gourds for water, flints for lighting fire, etc., have always been carried close to him, so that he will not be bare hands in his hasty escape.

But if he had a choice, he would rather not have these weapons, and he also hoped that he would be able to exchange the money he brought for a normal meal at the first house he met, and buy a horse without a life-and-death fight.

Two days later, he had killed one of the weaker horses, and finally had a full meal, and the toast was worse at cooking than the ordinary Yi cook, and there was no salt, which had been too much salt to put a few days ago! But it was enough to fill his stomach! This meant that he had no horses to replace for the rest of his journey, and in case the remaining horse escaped or fell lame (which is common on mountain roads), he would have to walk on his own two legs past his neighbors who hated the forces of Galadong.

Paigang Toast thought he was a rational man, but his neighbors were probably unwilling to take the ransom! But if he hadn't killed the horses and eaten the meat, he felt that his chances of seeing his old neighbors were slim!

When he returned to Galadong, his old subordinates almost didn't recognize this old toast, his weight was reduced to only half of his original weight, his clothes were ragged, and his body was bruised. Pai just accepted these measures without complaint, knowing that he still had the value of being treated, which was better than the comfort of many empty words.

He told Hua Lin everything he had seen and known, and then he got a rest.

He drank another bowl of warm rice soup, and fell asleep on the bed in peace, in Hua Lin's sphere of influence, he was not afraid of anyone's sneak attack, the preciousness of this life was something he did not understand before, because he used to know only one way of life like other Yi people.

His stomach was still rumbling, but he was finally taken care of by someone who relieved him of all tense nerves, closed his eyes, and fell asleep quickly.

Dreams surrounded him like night, ah, he was in the night, the stars were shining above his head, but there was a place that was ominously empty, but Pagang Toast didn't bother to notice this, and in front of him was the terrible Black Mountain, the scars of the earth, the holy place of the priests, who guarded there...... Guarded...... He suddenly remembered that Ujida had told him that they were there, that they were guards, that they were ...... It was too late! He was so close to the mountains that seemed to call, and many of his loyal subordinates who accompanied him along the way were lining up to go deeper into the Black Mountain.

Together, they turned their heads to look at Paegon, their eyes white and without pupils.

They stared at Toast with pupilless eyes.

Many white eyes without pupils opened on them, and these eyes stared at Toast, who had abandoned everything and fled.

So Pai just knew, and he never fled.

They came with him, right here.
