Volume 1 The Sword Enters the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 4 The Beast's Head on the Broken Arrow

"How's it going, haven't woken up yet?"

A rough voice sounded in the boy's ears.

"Mr. Huang came early this morning, and said that it was no big deal, and he had to recuperate. ”

"This little brother is so strong, so you can stay and take care of it. I can cope with the work on the mountain. ”

"I heard that the mountains are not very peaceful these days, so be careful. ”

The boy tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids sank terribly, and after several struggles, he gradually fell asleep again.

After some time, the boy felt a cold object against his lower lip, and then a stream of liquid slowly flowed into his mouth.

"Ahem...... Ahem, ahem!" , The young man opened his eyes suddenly, and on the side of his body, he sprayed the medicinal soup in his mouth to the ground.

A big hand behind him slapped gently, and a simple voice came: "It's okay, little brother, blame me for feeding too quickly." ”

The boy wiped his mouth and turned his head, and saw a burly man standing beside the bed, dressed in a coarse brown cloth coat, with the hides of some unknown animal around his waist. A bright pendant in front of the neck, I don't know what material it is. With the medicine bowl in his left hand and the back of his head in the other, he smiled innocently.

"It's okay, thank you for saving your life. ”

The boy wanted to bow down, but he found that his back hurt so badly that he couldn't help grinning.

The big man hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't move, the old gentleman said that you still need to recuperate for a few days, don't hold on to your wounds." ”

The young man nodded: "I don't know what to call the eldest brother?"

"I grew up in the mountains, and I don't know what my name is. The brothers around me have called me Dashan, and I have been calling me for twenty or thirty years. ”

"Brother Dashan. The young man smiled, and suddenly remembered his life experience, and he didn't know what it felt like in his heart.

"The little brother is really skilled, that black-scaled bear is fierce by nature, and it is not easy to deal with, but you meet an old guy who has lived for decades. ”

"It's just a fluke, if I hadn't met Brother Dashan, I'm afraid I would have to give an account of my life. The boy shook his head, surveying his surroundings.

Although the house is poorly furnished, it is clean. Most of the utensils are made of local materials, from this mountain, but there is a rustic charm. On the walls hung large and small bows, arrows, knives, and crossbows, as well as a few shiny animal skins.

Seeing that the young man could see it, the man smiled again: "There are many fierce beasts in the mountains, and this place is not far from the state and county. ”

The young man was stunned, could it be that he walked out of the wilderness by mistake.

"Brother Dashan, I don't know how far away it is from Qingzhou?"

"Qingzhou? is not far apart, from here to the north over two mountains is Longtan County, into Longtan County there are caravans to and from Qingzhou, if the foot is fast, only half a day to arrive. ”

The man turned around and handed the young man a cup of tea: "Where is the little brother from, how can he walk alone in this deep mountain and old forest?"

The young man's expression changed slightly, and he sighed and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Dashan, I have been unrelated since I was a child, without a name, without a surname, without a father or mother. Thanks to the elders in the village, I was dragged up, but they encountered another accident. ”

The man looked at the gloomy gaze in the young man's eyes and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"I want to find out the truth of all this, and break the mastermind behind the scenes, to pieces-corpse-10,000-section!"

The young man gritted his teeth, and a wave of anger rose in his heart.

"It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Take care of your body first, and in a few days, I will personally send you to Qingzhou. ”

While the two were talking, they heard a rush of footsteps outside. A deep voice sounded, slightly anxious.

"Brother Dashan, come out and help! My brother, my brother is injured!"

When Dashan heard this, his face couldn't help but sink, and he walked out of the door in three steps and two steps.

Not far away were two men dressed similarly to him, one of whom was about his age and stout, but whose face was pale at the moment, and who was supported by the other, and whose body was covered in blood, and the other who was a little shorter, with dark skin, and whose eyes were surprisingly large like brass bells, and who looked to be about a teenager.

"Stone, what's wrong with your brother?"

Dashan hurriedly stepped forward to grab the injured man and asked.

"Brother Dashan, I'll go find the old gentleman, you take my brother into the house first. The young man looked at the mountain, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the placket of his clothes, and turned around to leave.

"Stone, stone...... Listen to my brother and come back...... Brother is fine. The injured man grabbed the stone's arm, his brows furrowed, and his expression was painful.

"Stone, listen to your brother, let's talk about what's going on in the first house!"

The stone stomped his foot hard and carried the wounded man into the house.

The young man looked at the group of people who rushed through the door, and his face was full of unknown reasons.

After placing the injured man on the stone couch, the man named Shi gritted his teeth and spat out: "If something happens to my brother, I will let them all be buried together!"

"Stone, tell me what's going on?"

Dashan took out a wooden box from the cabinet next to him, and the box was actually some simple medical items.

"Half a month ago, the shopkeeper Li of Longtan County ordered a batch of goods, and tomorrow will be the day of delivery. I had a bit of luck today, my brother and I had a lot of good fights. I thought I would send it over as soon as possible-", Shi paused, his fists clenched, and the exposed green tendons could be seen: "Which Cheng wants to meet a group of bandits in the mountain pass, rob our goods, and kill people." My brother let the bandits shoot an arrow to cover my escape. ”

"Bandits, how can ordinary bandits be your brother's opponents?", Dashan scorched a short blade on the oil lamp as he stopped the bleeding for the injured man.

Stone gritted his teeth: "It's not an ordinary bandit, I've never seen them before." All of them are very vicious, and a few of them can also use qi magic. If it weren't for the fact that it was getting dark and they weren't familiar with the terrain, my brother and I wouldn't have been able to come back. ”

Dashan was a little surprised, and the movements in his hands still didn't stop: "Let's not talk about this first, go and fetch me a basin of water." Fortunately, there was no poison on the arrow, and the wound was not deep, so what Mr. Huang left behind should be able to deal with it. ”

"To be on the safe side, I'd better go find the old gentleman. ”

"Nonsense! If the bandits intercept them halfway, how can you be their opponent alone!" , Dashan scolded in a low voice as he wiped the short blade that had been baked red.

The stone bowed his head and said no more, and silently drew a basin of water.

"Brother, bear with me. Dashan stuffed the towel into the injured man's mouth: "Stone, come and press your brother." ”

The young man opened his mouth wide, looked at the three people who had ignored him opposite, and weakly spat out: "That, I'll help." ”

Dashan scratched his head and smiled at the young man: "Little brother, let's rest, I forgot to introduce it in a hurry just now, let me take out the arrow for him first." ”

"It doesn't matter. The boy propped himself up and staggered to the rockfall. Although there is still pain in his body, he has felt much better.

The stone reached out and helped the boy by the hand, smiled at him, and vacated a place beside him.

Seeing that everything was ready, Oyama held half a broken arrow in one hand and a short blade in the other, and carefully made a small cut next to the wound.

After a long time, the hideous man on the stone collapse slowly released his clenched fist, and Dashan looked at the bloody broken arrow in his hand and sighed.

"Stone, give your brother medicine and wrap it in a bandage. ”

Oyama shook off his sweat-soaked shirt and revealed his strong muscles.

The young man smiled at the man on the floor and slowly stretched out his thumb. From beginning to end, without saying a word, what a boldness.

After dealing with the injured man, Shi turned his head to look at the young man: "I didn't expect my little brother to wake up so soon, my name is Shi Hehe, it's my brother who collapsed, Shi Man, everyone calls him a barbarian." ”

"Brother Stone, Brother Barbarian. The young man didn't know the age of the stone, but just looking at this head, it was not a loss to call him brother.

The man on the floor nodded at the young man, and the corners of his mouth barely grinned.

"Stone, come here!"

Dashan took the broken arrow and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly shouted.

"Brother Dashan, what have you discovered?", the stone hurriedly approached.

"Look at the symbol on this arrow. ”

The stone took the arrow and observed, and although the symbol on it had been worn out for the most part, the outline was faintly visible, like the head of a beast.

"This ...... Could it be the Beast Heads?"

"These dogs are miscellaneous, they do evil and evil on weekdays, and now they have the idea of the mountain. ”

"Brother Dashan, could it be that someone deliberately blamed him?", the young man suddenly remembered the usual routines in the novels of his previous life, and a fluttering sense of illusion arose in his heart.

Dashan pondered for a while: "If it were someone else, it would not be impossible. But the little brother didn't know that the beast head gang was powerful, and no one knew about it within a radius of 100 miles. They have always had no one in their eyes, and the government has become more and more arrogant and unscrupulous. ”

Shi Man also spoke slowly: "In the early years, because of business dealings, I had several dealings with them. On the surface, the beast-headed gang is under the guise of formal trade, but in fact they are doing some shady things behind the scenes. ”

"Business on the mountain is not easy, but the profits are not small. They have long taken a fancy to this piece of fat, but they didn't expect to play yin this time. ”

"Dashan, the goods that Shopkeeper Li wants this time is a big order, and our industry is the most reputable. has cooperated for many years, but you can't smash your own signboard. ”

Dashan sighed and said: "The dishonesty is small, and it delays other people's business, and the shopkeeper Li has been very good to us all these years." ”

"If you want me to say, go and chop up the girl now, grab all the things back, and avenge my brother. ”

The stone thumped his chest in a hurry, and wandered back and forth on the ground.

"You kid, if the Beast Gang were so easy to deal with, they wouldn't have been running rampant here for so many years. ”

The boy looked down and thought for a long time, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Brother Dashan, Brother Barbarian, does this beast head gang often move around on weekdays?"

"The Beast Head Gang has branches all around Longtan County, but they rarely come to the mountains on weekdays. ”

The young man thought about it again and said, "Is this shopkeeper Li reliable?"

Dashan was stunned: "Perennial business contacts, there has never been a mistake." ”

"Brother Fang Cai said that he has cooperated with Shopkeeper Li for many years, and presumably this delivery time has already been negotiated in private. ”

Shi nodded: "Yes, we deliver the goods one day in advance every time, and Shopkeeper Li is very satisfied, and there is a reward every time." ”

The boy smiled and looked meaningfully at the stone.

Dashan's face on the side changed slightly, and Shi Man also looked at the young man thoughtfully.

Stone looked at the strange three people in front of him and took a few steps back.

"Hey, this time it's on time, I'm not lazy!"
