Chapter 40 [No Money] (Part 1)
The reason why Luo Lie explained to Zhang Changgong so detailed was that he had his own intention. He wanted to build confidence in himself as soon as possible and believe that he could control Zhu Mantang. Only in this way could Zhang Changgong be confident of sneaking into Heihu Ridge with them.
As early as when they first met, Zhang Changgong witnessed Luo Lie shooting a tiger with a flying knife. The contacts of the past two days also made him realize Luo Lie's prestige and leadership in this team. In fact, Zhang Changgong initially just agreed to lead the way for them. Even when he came to Yangjiatun, Zhang Changgong still did not decide whether to go to Heihu Ridge with Luo Lie and others, even though he heard that the blood wolf that killed his mother had once appeared in the Liujia Rock of Heihu Ridge. Because he saw that Luo Lie and his party's ultimate goal was Langya Village, and being enemies with the bandits with a large number of people in Langya Village was tantamount to seeking death. Zhang Changgong would not have done such unwise things.
However, everything that happened in Yangjiatun tonight changed Zhang Changgong's idea. It was a blessing, not a disaster, but a disaster, and it was a disaster. The sufferings of these people were brought by the bandits of Pale Mountain. As long as the bandits are not eliminated, Pale Mountain will never have peace.
Although Zhang Changgong and Luo Lie and their party met for a short time, they had already experienced two battles of life and death together. Under such experience, their friendship began to improve by leaps and bounds.
Zhang Changgong pondered for a while before saying, "You haven't told me yet, what is your purpose in going to Pale Mountain?"
Luo Liedao: "Look at Xiao Tianxing, the leader of Langya Village, to calculate an old account!"
Zhang Changgong nodded and said, "I'll accompany you." Although he didn't say much, he said nothing, and since he could say it, he would not regret it.
Luo Lie felt very relieved. If Zhang Changgong refused to accompany them to Heihu Ridge, he would not be able to force him. However, in the current situation, their team needed someone familiar with the local environment, not to mention that Zhang Changgong's combat effectiveness was amazing. With him joining, the possibility of them going deep into Heihu Ridge and retreating was greatly increased.
Luo Liedao: "In terms of price..."
Zhang Changgong said: "I don't want money for the next section of the road!"
The blind man and Arnold searched the bandits' residence inside and outside. The trip was a great harvest. In addition to confiscating the bandits' guns and horses, they also found the generous gifts they brought to Langya Village. The gift was placed in a two-foot square wooden box, and the wooden box was locked. However, this did not prevent the blind man. After unlocking the lock, he unfolded the red cloth bag. Inside was a pair of exquisite jade lions carved with mutton fat and white jade. The carving was exquisite and lifelike, and it could be seen that it was valuable. There was also a congratulatory letter in the wooden box. I asked Zhu Mantang and knew that the letter was written by Li Changqing, the boss of Feiying Castle, and the gift was prepared by him personally.
Zhu Mantang was strong and powerful, and witnessed that all his subordinates were destroyed. In addition, the blind man and Arnold sang intimidation with me, he was already scared to death. Before Luo Lie could interrogate, he had already explained everything he knew.
According to Luo Lie's plan, the five of them pretended to be Zhu Mantang's subordinates through makeup and accompanied Zhu Mantang up the mountain. With Zhu Mantang as a cover, and Li Changqing's handwritten letter and gift, it should not be difficult to get into Langya Village.
That night, they gathered the corpses of the bandits and burned them with fire. The bodies of the nine old men killed in this disaster were also found by them and buried in the woodland behind the village.
After all this, it was the next morning. Tiewa had woken up. After waking up, she obviously calmed down a lot. She just didn't talk to anyone and came to my grandmother's grave alone and shed tears silently.
Sparrow was worried that the child would not understand and always stayed by his side. Tiewa was kneeling in front of grandma's grave. Sparrow put a cotton coat on him and comforted him softly: "Tiewa, good people in this world must be rewarded. Although grandma is gone, she must have gone to heaven and silently looked at you in the sky. She definitely doesn't want you to be so sad."
Tiewa wiped his tears and said, "If it weren't for my grandmother, I wouldn't have lived now. Why would good people suffer such retribution?" From then on, his simple heart had a true understanding of the sinisterness of the world, but this understanding was at the cost of the blood and life of his relatives, which was really painful.
The sparrow was speechless. She could almost foresee that the future Tiewa would be changed by hatred, and that his young heart would no longer be as simple as before.
Tiewa said again: "It's all my fault. If I gave them some tiger meat, maybe they wouldn't have killed anyone." After all, he was young and simple-minded. After accepting the reality, he blamed his grandmother and others for his death, believing that he refused to give the meat to those bandits, so they started a massacre.
The sparrow thought to himself that according to Tiewa's statement, the death of the villagers in Yangjiatun is closely related to their arrival. If they did not come here and did not bring tiger meat to these villagers, they would not attract resentment from the bandits, and perhaps this tragic disaster would be avoided.
Tiewa stood up from the snow and said, "I want to kill him and avenge my grandma!" He remembered that the bandit leader Zhu Mantang was still alive, and his heart suddenly felt extremely hatred.
The sparrow hurriedly stopped him and said, "Tiewa, don't be impulsive. Even if you kill him now, your grandma will not be resurrected!"
Tiewa glared at the sparrow and said, "Why? Why do you want to stop me from taking revenge?"
The sparrow said: "If you kill Zhu Mantang, there will be no bandits in this Pale Mountain? If you kill him, it will only attract more fierce revenge from the bandits. Tiewa! You need time now. While the other bandits have not discovered what is happening here, hurry up and take other old people in the village to leave."
Tiewa roared: "I won't leave, I'll kill that bastard now. You get out of here! Otherwise, I'll be polite to you!"
Zhang Changgong's roar suddenly came from behind: "Tiewa! How do you speak?"
Tiewa shivered, Zhang Changgong had a high status in his heart, and he lowered his head. Zhang Changgong gave his eyes to the sparrow and said, "You go back first, Luo Lie is looking for you."
The sparrow nodded, worried that Zhang Changgong would scold Tiewa, and told him: "Speak well and never get angry!"
After the sparrow left, Tiewa bit her lips, her eyes turned red, and she clenched her fists and said, "Master, my grandma was killed by that bastard, why did she stop me from taking revenge?"
Zhang Changgong patted Tiewa on the shoulder and said, "We have killed fourteen bandits. It's okay to kill one more, but what problem can be solved by killing Zhu Mantang now? Do you think that even if you avenge grandma?" Think that this matter ends here?
Tiewa didn't say anything. In his heart, Zhu Mantang was not the only enemy. He had just made a silent volunteer in front of his grandma's tomb to kill all the bandits in Past Mountain.
Zhang Changgong shook his head and said, "These bandits went to Langya Village to celebrate their birthdays. In four days, it will be Xiao Tianxing, the head of Langya Village. If the birthday party of Feiying Castle does not arrive, what happened here will inevitably be exposed. Do you think they will give up?"
Tiewa lowered her head again.
Zhang Changgong said: "Neither Langya Village nor Feiying Castle will give up. Once they know what is going on here, they will definitely come to take revenge."
"I'm not afraid!"
"Are you afraid? But what about the other villagers here? The soil is fat and you can escape, but they can still escape? You can grow up so old is not just your grandmother taking care of you. If you don't have the help and care of the villagers, do you think you can live until now? You can have no life, but you have the heart to let the villagers accompany you to die?"
