Although Sun Yixie is not very good at kung fu, his aura has a big brother demeanor that is seriously inconsistent with his age and strength.
As soon as he let out his wild words, the two minions were stunned.
In addition, this is an official road after all, and it's not dark yet. Cars and horses may pass by at any time. The two bandits are also timid. When they were combined, they were really cowardly.
"Okay... Sun Yixie, we have met in the mountains and rivers! Don't regret it!" The gangster is the gangster. While saying harsh words, he is already retreating, for fear that the other party will be angered and catch up.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two bandits retreated into the woods, then turned around and ran away.
Sun Yixie was relieved when he saw them leaving, but he did not immediately go forward to help the woman who fell on the ground because he was not sure whether the scene just now was the two men and one woman colluding to act.
Just watch it for yourself - if this is some kind of magic trick or deception, and as soon as he gets close, the woman will take out a poisonous needle or lime powder and give it to him, then he won't be able to bear it.
"Girl...are you okay?" Sun Yixie asked cautiously, standing more than one meter away from the other party.
"Thank you so much, young hero, for saving me." The woman was almost out of breath by now, and slowly sat up from the ground.
At this moment, Huang Donglai also hurriedly appeared from the woods on the other side of the road.
He looked around and soon saw the situation on Sun Yixie's side, so he quickly walked closer and asked, "Brother Sun, is it okay? I just left for five minutes to take a poop, so you just hold it down."
Are you going to start robbing civilian girls?"
"Go away! Brother is acting bravely for justice!" Sun Yixie also knew that the other party was joking, and replied with his nostrils pointing to the sky, "You don't know how brave brother was just now. He showed a little bit of domineering air and killed two tigers.
The bad guys were scared away."
"What do you mean, you are so domineering? I heard the words you shouted from a long way away, okay?" Huang Donglai did hear it, firstly because Brother Sun shouted loudly and shrilly, and secondly because of Huang Donglai's ear skills.
It's not bad, "It's just that the opponent is not strong enough, so he is timid."
"Stop talking nonsense." Sun Yixie said, "What were you doing when I was risking my life here and yelling at injustice?"
"Okay, Brother Sun is awesome." It wasn't that Huang Donglai couldn't answer the conversation, but when he saw that the girl looked at them more and more strangely, he stopped his impromptu cross talk with Sun Yixie.
At this point, they naturally couldn't leave the girl here alone and chase the carriage, so they simply helped her sit down on a rock by the side of the road and asked about her experience.
After asking, I found out that this girl was indeed a village girl named Wang, and she was already the mother of two children. Of course, in Dashu, it is very common for a woman to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and it is common for women in their twenties to get married.
It's very common in children.
There is a village nearby called Nanyuan Village, and the Wang family is a villager there; this village is located in the mountains of Baijiling, which happens to be the junction of multiple states and is a place where no one cares, so it is often intruded by bandits.
And "Zoumazhai" is the most rampant mountain village in this area.
The bandits from Zoumazhai would come to Nanyuan Village every now and then to harass them. However, for this small-scale harassment, not many people came, usually only five or six, and the only things they robbed were chicken, duck, fish, and old wine.
, five or six people couldn't take much with their hands; the villagers did not dare to offend these bandits, so they tolerated it.
But among the several bandits who came to harass the village today, there were two particularly lecherous ones, the two that Sun Yixie scared away just now... Earlier that day, these two gangsters had eaten free food in the village.
When they were about to return to the village, they accidentally saw Ms. Wang at the entrance of the village. At that time, they became interested and wanted to take Ms. Wang back to the village.
Mrs. Wang was also alert. When she saw the two people approaching with lewd smiles on their faces, she knew she was going to get into trouble, so she turned around and ran away. The women in the mountains are different from the ladies in the city who never leave or step out. First, they don't have their feet bound.
, Secondly, they often help the family with farm work on weekdays, so they run very slowly. In addition, Wang is also very familiar with the road terrain between the mountains, and the two bandits really can't catch her for a while.
.
Mrs. Wang knew very well that she would be doomed if she fell into the hands of these two thieves. She was already prepared to run headlong into a tree and die. With this determination, she was not afraid of anything and marched all the way.
He stumbled and ran in the direction of the official road. When he was exhausted, he finally escaped to the roadside, where he happened to meet Sun Yixie.
"Young hero was able to save me, and the woman is very grateful." When Wang said this, she was already crying. "But after this incident, I'm afraid those bandits will not give up. If it's slow tomorrow, or soon tonight, they will
They will gather people to come to the village to take revenge, and I'm afraid my whole family will suffer... What should I do?" As she spoke, tears fell down.
After hearing what she said, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were also very angry, but they were indignant and they seemed unable to do anything.
Not to mention that they were on their way now, even if they could spare a day and a half to mind this nosy business, the two of them would definitely not be able to stand up to an entire village of bandits head-on.
"Damn it, this is really hard to do." Sun Yixie scolded the street, "Otherwise..." He thought for a moment, "We rush back to Hangzhou to report to the official now? I don't want to go anywhere else."
I dare say that the Hangzhou magistrate still wants to give my Sun family some face, and it shouldn’t be a big problem to ask him to mobilize some troops to wipe out a copycat."
"I'm afraid it's too late, right?" Huang Donglai still thought more thoughtfully, "We have already gone so far, and we have no horses. It will be dark by the time we get back, and most of the prefects are asleep. Are you going to attack in the middle of the night?
To complain?" He paused, "To take a step back, even if you really go to report to the official in the middle of the night, and the prefect does not dare to fall out with you, but by the time the prefect dispatches troops to arrive, it may already be tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow.
The bandits have already taken revenge and ran away... Also, are you sure that the prefect has the right to send people here? Isn't this place so chaotic because it is located on the border of multiple states and counties, and it is difficult for everyone to control it?
?”
Sun Yixie heard this and thought about it: "What should we do?" He also scratched his head anxiously, "I just came out of the world, and I encountered such an injustice at the door of my house. I can't care about it.
?How can I still hang out in the world in the future?"
Huang Donglai thought for a while: "Otherwise... let's send Miss Wang back to the village first, and then we can check the situation there. We can also think of ways to do it on the way."
"That's all we can do." Sun Yixie sighed.
Mrs. Wang thanked the two young heroes profusely, rested for a while, and took them on the road with them crying.
They walked in silence for about half an hour and arrived at the entrance of Nanyuan Village.
Before they could enter the village, a group of young and old men from the village rushed out with pitchforks and sticks and surrounded them.
It turned out that after being scared away by Sun Yixie, the two minions were so angry that they returned to the village and told the villagers: "Wang hired a thug outside and actually said that he would destroy Zoumazhai.
If the news reaches the ears of the village leader, he will definitely lead his men and horses to slaughter all the men, women, old and children in the village. If you are interested, kill Mr. Wang and that one tomorrow at this time.
The thugs have all been tied up and sent to the entrance of the village along with the money and food to make amends, otherwise tomorrow will be the day when all of you in the village will die."
After saying that, the two people went back to the village. As soon as they returned, they immediately told the village owner about today's events and said a lot of bad things about Sun Yihe and the villagers. As for bandits, they usually
There was nothing wrong, his job was to rob men and women, and plunder money and food, so naturally the leader of the village didn't mind leading his people to the village for a trip tomorrow.
On the other side, the villagers were dumbfounded...
There were some brave people in the village who secretly came up with the idea to arrest the two bandits and kill them, but they were persuaded by others because after doing so, the result would be the same.
If someone goes missing in the village, they will still come to investigate and investigate, and then things will become more serious.
So, after the two bandits returned, the villagers gathered together for an urgent discussion and decided to wait until Wang came back to ask the matter clearly before deciding what to do.
That's how the current situation came about.
Of course, these villagers were not unreasonable. After Wang told them what had happened, they relaxed their tense posture.
After all, what Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai did was a chivalrous act. Even if the villagers were not grateful to them, they would not be shameless enough to want to harm them. Furthermore, the bandits in Zoumazhai have long brought fear and hatred to these villagers.
For a long time, there are indeed many people in the village who have been willing to give up and want to fight to the death with Zoumazhai.
Sun and Huang had a brief exchange with the villagers, and after learning more about the situation, Huang Donglai quickly came up with an idea.
He pulled Sun Yixie aside and whispered: "Brother Sun, I have an idea."
"Oh? Tell me." Sun Yixi said.
"You know I can use poison, right?" Huang Donglai asked.
"Of course I know." Sun Yixie said, "But I heard from the villagers that there are more than fifty bandits in Zoumazhai. The inventory you have on you shouldn't be enough to kill them all, right?"
"Brother Sun, are you overthinking it?" Huang Donglai said, "The prepared poisons and antidotes I carry with me are all high-end goods, and the materials are very expensive. I use them for self-defense at critical moments; don't say
I don’t bring much, and even if I brought a lot, I wouldn’t be able to use it to AOE against the bandits.”
"Then what did you tell me about poison?" Sun Yixi said.
"I can make some cheap mass-produced poison using the materials readily available in the drug store in this village, and use it as a trap to set up an ambush." Huang Donglai said.
"Oh?" Sun Yixie suddenly realized, "Okay, look, then wouldn't the entire army on the other side have to be wiped out before they even enter the village? Hahaha!"
"Don't be too happy first." Huang Donglai said, "I just talked with the medicine shop owner. The medicine shops in this small village don't have many types and quantities of medicinal materials. They can't prepare the kind that can be sprinkled in the air.
It is poison that can kill people, not to mention it is hard to say how many percent of the poison can be sucked in by them after it is made into a trap, so traps can at best weaken their combat power, and it is impossible to poison them all."
"Then how useful can you do this?" Sun Yixie asked again.
Huang Donglai thought for a while and replied: "I have inquired about it. Except for the village leader, the martial arts of the bandits are average. Basically, they are just trash fish with no internal strength and only a few moves..."
"Wait a minute...what do you mean by the word 'ye'?" Sun Yixie interrupted.
"Oh, don't worry about such details." Huang Donglai waved his hand impatiently, signaling Brother Sun not to interrupt, and continued, "According to my experience, these miscellaneous fish can fight against a person one-on-one with a sword.
The farmer holding farm tools probably has a 70% chance of winning... And in this village, there are more than a hundred people in total. Excluding the old, weak, women and children, the remaining strong men should be able to make up about 40. If they resist desperately,
It's not that easy to kill either.
"It is impossible that the people in Zoumazhai are not aware of this, so I estimate that there will not be fewer people coming tomorrow, at least forty people will come, so that they can have enough deterrence and combat power.
"But they wouldn't have thought that they would encounter my poison trap on the way here; by then, at least twenty of them would have been poisoned... And those poisoned trash fish, let alone stabbing people with knives, would not even stand
It’s hard for him to stand still, and any adult man can knock him down if he steps on it.”
Sun Yixie understood when he heard this: "Oh, in this case, when they come tomorrow, you will be responsible for dealing with the village leader, and I will lead a group of tough men to swarm up. At least we can fight."
"You are right." Huang Donglai said, "How is it? Is my plan okay?"
"Okay, okay, Brother Huang has something." Sun Yixie also complimented his brother at the right time.
"Well, if you think there are no problems or flaws, I'll go tell them." Huang Donglai said.
"Wait a minute..." At this moment, Sun Yixie seemed to suddenly think of something, "Although your plan is good, I think there is still room for improvement on this basis."
"Oh?" Huang Donglai asked curiously, "Have you come up with any good ideas?"
Sun Yixie's little eyes rolled and he showed a lewd smile: "Heh... I have a plan - change homes."
