The sun shone through the tree branches in front of the Earth Temple. There were more than a dozen bloody fingers scattered on the ground. The Yellow Taoist used a hoe to dig a hole next to the tree next to the temple and buried those fingers, and then held the hoe.
Breathing heavily and wiping the sweat from his forehead, he heard a voice in the distance. He turned his head and looked north, where there were scattered pedestrians walking slowly.
There was a slight cough behind him, and Huang Daoren quickly turned around and saw Jiang Fa walking out of the house. He stretched out, but his wound hurt. He grinned. Huang Daoren quickly stepped forward and said hello: "Master Jiang, get up.
Yes, water is ready for you."
Jiang Fa sighed: "Master Taoist, please don't be polite to me, and I can't stand your calling me Master Jiang. Just serve the young master in the house."
Huang Daoren agreed, and took a look inside the room. He saw Chang Yu sitting on the straw mat sleepily. He must have just woken up and was feeling angry, so he didn't dare to offend him, so he turned around to get fodder for the horse.
Chang Yu got up and washed himself, then started to eat breakfast, which consisted of dry food, bird egg and wild vegetable soup, and some pickled game. It was quite a good meal.
"I thought we were early enough, but I didn't expect there would be even earlier." A group of business travelers approached and saw Chang Yu and Jiang Fa sitting at the gate of the temple eating. They couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly felt that these two people looked familiar. Hey,
Isn't that the guy who took the lead in building the road yesterday?
Then someone greeted him warmly: "Brother, why did you come on the road at night yesterday? Not to mention the misfortune of sleeping in the open air, the journey is still the same as ours."
Chang Yu laughed loudly: "It's different, it saves money."
"That's true. It saves money on hotel accommodation. Well, young people are still in good health. We can't stand the rheumatism in the wild now..." Everyone stopped in front of the Tutu Temple. Some people rested and some went to the river.
Horses drink water, some people go into the temple, stick incense on their heads, kowtow and lose a few pennies, and some even say hello to the Zodiac Man.
Seeing this, Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Who would have thought that this kind-faced and even somewhat dull Taoist priest was actually the leader of a group of amateur bandits. Taoist Huang was leaning against the wall and watching Chang Yu joking with the businessmen, and was filled with emotion. Who could
Thinking that such a cheerful young man is actually a ferocious and brutal bandit leader, um, or the son of a big bandit.
At three o'clock in the morning, more and more people were walking on the road. Jiang Fa got into the car, Chang Yu got on his horse, and Taoist Huang walked out of the Tutu Temple with a baggage on his back. Then he looked back, sighed, turned around, got on the shaft of the car, and drove off with a whip.
gone.
Chang Yu slept soundly last night and was full of energy. How could he follow the carriage obediently, galloped away with his horse whipped, ran for several miles in one breath, and then turned back. He did this again and again, attracting passers-by.
They all teased him.
At noon, after traveling for dozens of miles, everyone was tired but no village was found. The surroundings were all barren mountains and wild ridges. Everyone rested in a wide place on the roadside to eat. Chang Yu was sweating all over and went to the water to take a shower.
, suddenly someone in front of me exclaimed: "Killing, killing."
A man ran from the front with a look of horror on his face. Everyone was frightened by him and stood up to look around.
Chang Yu quickly put on his clothes and ran over. The man was spitting and talking to everyone about how many people had died in front of him!
Could it be that bandits were robbing the road? Everyone's color changed, and the guys who tried to steal it one by one looked around in fear.
Chang Yu and Jiang Fa looked at each other, said nothing, got on their horses and headed forward. Everyone exclaimed: "Brother, it's dangerous, don't go..."
The mountain road a hundred meters ahead turned a corner, and the terrain was slightly steep. There was a rolling river to the east and a cliff to the west. It was really a good place for an ambush. A tree with a crooked neck protruded from the cliff, and five or six people were hanging on it. There was water beside the road.
Six or seven people were lying on the sides.
Chang Yu dismounted and took a closer look. They were all stab wounds, and they had been killed by swords.
These guys are acting more and more according to their own style. They just kill and bury them without fear of shocking the world. Chang Yu sighed, got on his horse and turned back. When everyone saw that he had returned safely, they quickly gathered around and asked questions.
"The bandits were killed during the robbery. It's possible that they were hacked." Chang Yu said lightly, then glanced at Jiang Fa and nodded gently.
Everyone was surprised and talked a lot, and some bold people went to check it out in groups.
When Huang Daoren heard this, his face was horrified and his face turned blue.
"It seems that we are quite lucky." Jiang Fa came over and smiled. Chang Yu nodded slightly: "No," and glanced at the zodiac man: "If the land man hadn't stopped us, we would have probably run into him.
, now I think I should thank you."
The Zodiac shook his head like a rattle: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
"The hand that moved last night was still in broad daylight?" Jiang Fa asked again.
"Judging from the corpse, it should have been encountered early in the morning." Chang Yu thought for a moment and said, "I bet they wouldn't have robbed Dao in broad daylight."
Huang Daoren heard it from the side and coughed lightly: "Misfortunes in broad daylight are really common. There are more than 200 miles of mountain roads. Many heroes make a living on this road, but they rarely hurt others..." said
He glanced at Chang Yu and said timidly: "I'm just blind this time, so I ran into one of your people, Master."
Chang Yu snorted: "Now you know how lucky you are. The people who meet me are still alive. What a blessing they got in the previous life." The zodiac man said yes again and again, and Chang Yu curiously asked him how many people there are in this mountain.
As for the professional team, do they know about the existence of the amateur team Huang Daoren? If they knew, they didn't try to win over or beat them. After all, more teams means more competition.
Huang Daoren shook his head and said that he didn't know whether others knew it or not.
Chang Yu didn't bother to talk to him anymore. He got on his horse and took everyone to the scene of the incident. When they saw the corpses on the ground, everyone was frightened. Chang Yu suggested that these people be buried. It was too shocking to expose the corpses in the wilderness like this.
Everyone was afraid and didn't dare.
It is said that ordinary people are not afraid, and people like them who are traveling for business are most taboo about the bad luck of dead people. Most people are frightened when they see dead people, not to mention those who were murdered, some even vomited from fear, and some even peed their pants.
When Chang Yu saw this, he was also in trouble. With more than a dozen people asking him to dig holes by himself, he would be exhausted to death.
Finally, Jiang Fa came up with an idea and said that you just need to dig the hole, and we will do the work of burying the corpse. This is a sinful thing. If you often walk this way, if you don't bury the corpse when you see it, they will be resentful, which is inevitable.
Will cause trouble for you.
Everyone believes this these days, especially those who sell goods outside all year round. Jiang Fa said again: "It's so hard to dig a hole and bury them. We still have Taoist priests to give them salvation. I miss you."
With the virtue of burying corpses, they won’t cause trouble when you come and go in the future.”
Everyone was persuaded and went to the hillside not far away to start digging a hole, while Chang Yu and Huang Daoren carried the body...
On this hot day, Chang Yu was sweating profusely after a short trip. He couldn't help cursing those subordinates in his heart. "Master, if you kill people, I will bury them, right?"
