Although Di Wu's skills were flexible, he was still too young and his bones were not fully developed. Under the siege of several sturdy men, how could he have any chance of escaping?
After just a few moments of meeting him, he was knocked to the ground.
One of the thugs in black stepped on Di Wu's face with his foot. At the same time, he raised the long whip in his hand and struck him on the back.
Snapped!
With the crisp sound, Di Wu was beaten to pieces, but he still gritted his teeth and endured, unwilling to scream.
"Oh! You can't tell, this guy is quite tough!"
The thugs burst into laughter and struck mercilessly. Fists, wooden clubs, and whips fell like raindrops on Di Wu's body, beating him until his skin and flesh were torn and bloody.
But even after being so tortured, Di Wu still did not scream or cry.
He gritted his teeth, even if he bit his lip, he still endured it silently, as if he was competing with everyone.
After a period of punches and kicks, Di Wu remained lying there like a dead corpse, and the thugs found it boring.
One of them spit on the back of Di Wu's head and cursed: "This little bitch's bones are so hard that he didn't make a sound even after being beaten so viciously. If you ask me, let's just chop him up. Look at him."
Are you going to die without making a sound?"
"That won't work. The leader of the gang has given orders to give this little bastard a chance to breathe and take him back. There are still some things to interrogate him about."
"Looking at his dead look, what can you ask?" the man from before said disapprovingly.
"Haha, I'm afraid I don't know the methods of the gang. As long as you enter the 'guilt inquiry hall', even a hero will have to beg for mercy, let alone a little brat?"
When the thug said this, he suddenly sneered, took out the long knife from his waist, and squatted beside Di Wu.
He pointed the long knife at Di Wu's calf a few times, and said with a smile: "Brother, you have to step on him. Once I saw off the two legs of this little bitch, he will never run away again."
No more."
Upon hearing this voice, Di Wu's motionless body suddenly began to struggle violently.
Several thugs nearby immediately stepped forward to hold him down, and the cold voice from before continued: "Boy, aren't you very tough? I won't cut off your leg directly with a knife, I will slowly cut it off bit by bit.
Get off your legs, if you can hold back your screams, then I, 'Li Gou'er', really admire you!"
Everyone around laughed after hearing this, and even Mr. Ma Liu gave a thumbs up and praised: "Li Gou'er, in terms of evil, it has to be you! You are worthy of being a person who has been in the 'Questioning Hall'!"
"
"Hahaha!" All the thugs laughed.
Di Wu finally showed a look of panic at this time.
After all, he is still a young child. Although he is thoughtful and eloquent, he will still be scared when encountering this kind of situation.
When resourcefulness was useless and he could only rely on force, Di Wu finally felt desperate.
Thinking back then, he survived when the entire Di family was executed, and he escaped from exile outside the Great Wall. Who could have expected that in the end, the boat capsized in the gutter, and he was surrounded by local snakes in the streets of Huayang City.
If both legs are cut off, your life will be ruined!
"No, no!" In the face of huge fear, Di Wu finally made a begging voice: "Let me go, please, let me go, I really don't dare to do it anymore!"
His face was trampled under someone's feet. This shout made him choke on a lot of sand, and he also swallowed a lot of dirt from the soles of the person's feet.
But these are nothing compared to the fear of losing his legs.
At this moment, Di Wu gave up his dignity and the pride in his heart.
"Please. As long as you don't cut off my legs, you can do whatever you want."
"Tch! I thought you were so tough? Turns out you are a coward too?" The people around burst into laughter.
"Repent now? It's too late!"
Li Gou'er spat, the blade pointed downwards, and landed on Di Wu's calf.
When the cold blade touched his skin, Di Wu felt fear in his heart and subconsciously closed his eyes.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and Di Wu even saw in his mind the tragic scene of his legs being broken and dripping with blood.
However, the expected severe pain did not appear. Instead, Li Gou'er let out a scream.
Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion around. Some people shouted, some people drew their swords, and Ma Liuye's voice shouted not far away: "Which blind thing dares to meddle in other people's business? If you have the ability, don't hide your head and show your tail. Come out."
Will it happen?"
Although he didn't understand what happened, Di Wu knew one thing, that is, his legs were still there!
The stinky feet that stepped on him had moved away. There was a commotion around him, and the sound of "Boom! Boom!" could be heard faintly through the air.
Di Wu was surprised. He opened his eyes and looked back, only to see that Li Gou'er had fallen to the ground. There was a short arrow stuck in his right eye, and blood was flowing out of the eye socket. He looked terrible.
"ah!"
A shrill scream came from Li Gouer's mouth.
What's funny is that just a moment ago he was cutting off Di Wu's leg, but now he was shot through the right eye with an arrow.
"over there!"
Among the crowd, a thug in black suddenly pointed to the top of the roof.
The others looked in the direction he pointed and saw a red shadow flashing past under the eaves of the attic, and the next moment they hid in the wall behind the attic.
"only one person!"
The Black Tiger Gang quickly confirmed the number of enemies.
"His grandma's bear, dares to offend our Black Tiger Gang alone?" Ma Liuye looked angry. He was about to instruct everyone to capture his opponent, but he saw three short arrows flying through the air and shooting at his throat.
, right arm and chest.
Ma Liuye was startled and quickly drew his knife to block it.
Although he is fat, his skills are not bad, otherwise he would not be able to reach a high position in the Black Tiger Gang.
The two short arrows flying at the front were deflected by Ma Liuye with his machete, but the angle of the last short arrow was very tricky. Ma Liuye had no time to block it, and he didn't care about his face in the critical moment, so he jumped on the spot.
Roll away and barely avoid the vital point.
However, although the short arrow missed his vital point, it stuck in his buttocks.
"ah!"
Ma Liuye let out a scream like a slaughtering pig, covered his buttocks and jumped forward, and fell into the mud in front of everyone.
"Sixth Master!"
There were exclamations from beside me.
These thugs don't dare to look at jokes. If they make this man unhappy, the consequences will be very miserable.
"Master Liu, are you okay?" The thugs gathered around him.
"I'm fine!" Ma Liuye was so angry that he slapped the nearest subordinate on the face and said angrily: "Why should you make such a fuss about this little injury? Go and get him, I'm going to kill him.
Eight dollars!”
"yes!"
The thugs took action one after another. Someone with sharp eyes and ears heard a noise behind the attic wall, so he held a knife in his backhand and stabbed it in.
Since the walls of the attic were made of wood, the knife really forced the person out.
Everyone looked at it at the same time and found that it was a dark-skinned girl.
This girl looks about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is tall and dressed in red. She has a dashing and heroic appearance!
She had a short dagger on her waist, a long bow in her left hand, and an arrow basket on her back. The short arrows that wounded Li Gou'er and Ma Liuye just now were obviously fired by this woman.
"You, you, who are you? How dare you meddle in my Black Tiger Gang's business?" Master Ma Liu was trembling in pain. Although he spoke harshly, his momentum was completely gone.
The girl ignored him, took out three short arrows from the arrow basket behind her with her right hand, opened her bow and nocked the arrows, as if she was going to deal another cruel blow to Mr. Ma Liu!
Master Ma Liu knew that she was an expert in archery, and he was frightened and shouted: "Come here, help me block her short arrows! Master Liu, I have a lot of rewards!"
It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. After hearing this, many thugs flew forward and stood in front of Ma Liuye, intending to use their weapons to block the girl's short arrows.
Unexpectedly, the girl's target was not Mr. Ma Liu at all.
I saw her bending her bow and setting an arrow, aiming the arrow in the air, "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The three arrows were fired in unison, but they were shot into the sky above the attic.
The thugs were ready to intercept the girl's short arrows for Ma Liuye. Unexpectedly, these short arrows did not hit anyone at all, but flew high into the sky.
"What is she doing?"
This thought came to everyone's mind.
Their eyes followed the three short arrows upwards, and then they discovered that there was a dark wooden barrel hanging under the eaves at the top of the attic.
"call out!"
The first short arrow shot through the hemp rope hanging the barrel.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The second and third short arrows shot through the barrel. The barrel fell down and made a "bang!" sound in mid-air. Thick white mist filled the air and covered the entire alley in an instant.
.
"Cough cough. Cough cough!" A violent coughing sound came from the smoke.
"No, it's 'Fire Stone Powder'! Close your eyes quickly." The Black Tiger Gang members shouted loudly.
"Fire Stone Powder" is a hidden weapon developed by some ruffians in Huayang City. It usually looks like an ordinary stone, but it explodes when it comes in contact with water. The white mist it emits is corrosive to a certain extent. Your eyes are easily injured and must be closed tightly.
Only the eyes will do.
Only then did everyone understand that there were compartments in the barrel, half of which was filled with water, and the other half was filled with "Fierce Stone Powder".
The girl fired three arrows in succession. The first arrow lowered the barrel, and the second and third arrows shot through the compartment of the barrel, causing the "fiery rocks" to mix with the water and explode.
The white mist after the explosion enveloped the entire alley. No one dared to open their eyes for fear of damage to their eyes. In the chaos, they heard the sound of "short arrows" piercing the air. Several people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and screams could not be heard.
This time, people's hearts were even more confused. These gangsters had no humanity to begin with. They would kill them whenever they heard footsteps, no matter whether they were friends or foes.
In the chaos, Di Wu suddenly felt his clothes being grabbed from behind.
"Come with me!"
A girl's voice came from behind.
With Di Wu's intelligence, of course he knew that this girl was here to help him, so he did not resist after hearing the words, and allowed the other party to pull him and fight left and right in the thick white mist.
After running like this for a while, the air around him suddenly became fresher. Di Wu opened his eyes and found that he had exited the dead end just now, and there were shouts and curses from the Black Tiger Gang behind him.
"Why did you save me?" Di Wu's first reaction was to question.
The girl raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, which seemed a little strange.
But she didn't say anything more, turned around and went into a small alley again.
"follow me!"
Hearing the girl's voice, Di Wu suddenly woke up.
"I'm confused. I'm not out of danger yet. What nonsense are you talking about here!" Di Wu slapped himself on the back of the head and ran wildly, chasing closely behind the girl.
Just like that, the two boys and girls ran wildly on the streets of Huayang City.
Both of them are very agile and very familiar with the city's streets, specializing in remote streets and alleys.
It was dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone behind the boys and girls, seeming to be catching up with them.
But the sunset will eventually set, and it will be night in a blink of an eye.
In Huayang City, outside a small abandoned temple, two figures walked slowly.
"Here we are, this is my home!"
The girl took Di Wu into the ruined temple.
Although the temple was dilapidated, I didn't expect that it was neatly packed inside. There were a lot of wooden utensils inside, as well as a bamboo mat that was not very delicately woven.
Di Wu said nothing.
He had been looking around secretly since he entered the door, and now his eyes fell on the girl again.
"Are you not naturally talkative?" The girl seemed to notice something strange about him, and turned around and smiled slightly.
Di Wu was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Why did you want to save me?"
"That's the question again!" The girl yawned while sitting on the mat, and said with a smile: "You are boring! Do you need a reason to save someone? I will save someone if I want to. If you don't want to save, you can't even ask me.
use."
After hearing this, Di Wu shook his head and said with great certainty: "No one in this world will help others for no reason except family members. Tell me, what is your purpose? You saved me, I owe you a big favor.
No matter what I am asked to do, even if it involves murder and arson, I will not push it."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sound piercing the air, and was hit by something above his head with a bang.
Di Wu felt in pain and held his head with both hands. He looked down and found that the thing that hit him was actually the girl's straw sandal.
"Why did you hit me?"
Di Wu didn't know why, so he looked up and saw the girl smiling.
"May I have your name?"
"Didiwu." He originally wanted to use a pseudonym, but for some reason, he chose to tell the truth when the words came to his lips.
"Di Wu, I don't know what you have been through, but what you just said is right. No one in this world will help others for no reason, except family members. So, now you are my family!"
"What?!"
Di Wu froze on the spot.
He prided himself on being smart since he was young, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.
"Listen up, my name is Yun Jin, and from today on, you are my brother and my family!"
Yun Jin seemed very excited, with a strange light shining in her eyes.
"Brother, family?" Di Wu murmured to himself, as if he hadn't come back to his senses yet.
"Hey, I heard everything this afternoon. Brother, your brain is so good that you can't even hide the conspiracy of the Black Tiger Gang. The two of us join forces and one day we can trample all the gangs in Huayang City under our feet!"
