Chapter 138 Valley
The valley where horse thieves gathered was brightly lit in the dark night. Countless torches hung on the walkway leading into the valley. The horse thieves who were plundering during the day had temporarily returned to the bottom of their treasures, counted the spoils they collected, took out fine wine and barbecue, and celebrated them.
Even the two sentries who stayed outside the valley to watch were drunk and standing crookedly on the mountain wall, they could no longer tell the difference between the sky and the earth.
Lu Lie went to the nearby mountains and forests to find a sharp stone with a suitable size, and walked along the shadows into the post where the horse thief was guarding the valley. He jumped onto the sentry post like an agile leopard and walked around behind a horse thief. Before the drunk horse thief could react, the sharp stone blade swept across his neck and cut his throat.
Another horse thief who was standing guard was still lying on the ground, holding an empty wine pot and pouring it into his mouth. Suddenly, he felt a cold neck cold, like a sharp object being placed on his neck. Before the horse thief could react, a cold and dull boy said in his ear: "Don't struggle, don't make a sound, and you'll die immediately if you dare to move. Answer my question. If your answer satisfies me, I can consider letting you go."
The horse thief felt a shock all over his body, and his originally drowsy drunkenness immediately woke up 70% to 80%. He was also a smart person and hurriedly said, "Master, as long as the young person knows it, he will definitely report it like this."
"Very good." Lu Lie nodded with satisfaction. When he met someone who knew the current affairs, he would not use any other means. "I'll ask you, where did you come from? How many people are there? How long are you staying here? What are the names of the mountain kings? What weapons are used for?"
Lu Lie asked in detail, and the horse thief knew a lot. After talking, Lu Lie quickly gained a preliminary understanding of the scale of the group of horse thieves. They were originally horse thieves wandering around the area outside the pass, called the "Black Wind Group". Because the soldiers and horses of the princes and kings there were in chaos, and the people were living in poverty. Not to mention the common people, even the mountain kings who fought for families and robbed the houses could not survive. In recent years, the horse thieves on the "Black Wind Group" have not been able to move south, robbed the villages and killed the people when they saw them. The "Black Wind Group" was originally hundreds of heroes and hundreds of horses. Wherever they went, even officers and soldiers were about to collapse. Some defeated troops even joined them, and they were very happy to occupy the mountain and be the king. Along the way, the "Black Wind Group" had developed to a terrifying number of nearly a thousand people, and could already fight against a small army.
After gaining a preliminary understanding of this "Black Wind Group", Lu Lie frowned: It seems that he should not consider the support of nearby government officials.
He asked again: "Do you know that in the last few days, the two villages you robbed have killed countless people. The living villagers were captured by you and taken there again."
The horse thief was afraid that his answer would be slow, and the stone pieces on his neck cut off his vocal cords. He immediately said, "I know, I know, uncle, of course I know. Those villagers were captured in a deserted cave in the valley. There were not many people, guarded by seven or eight brothers. Uncle, are you here to save these villagers? If so, you should set off quickly. Our second leader likes to eat human flesh and is about to treat these villagers as food."
The horse thief had a good plan. He thought to himself that he would inspire the young man, and while the other party was so scared that he was out of control and was out of control, he would have a sudden attack on his opponent. By then, this kid fell into his hands, and it would not be a problem of killing him with one knife. The horse thief king Erma insisted on applying all the tortures he knew in his life to this kid one by one, so that he could know who is the real master and who is the little one.
After hearing this, Lu Lie's face remained unchanged, but his eyes became more gloomy. He nodded: "Very good. You can go on the road."
When Wang Erma saw that Lu Lie's eyes were wrong, he was shocked: "No, you said you would let me go after I finished speaking. If you don't keep your promise, how can you not accept credit?...Master, spare me, I have an old man above and a young man below, I don't want to die!"
Before he called for help, Lu Lie reached out and cut off his neck. Looking at the cold body of the horse thief, Lu Lie said lightly: "Want to survive? Why don't you listen to their begging for mercy when you massacre so many unarmed villagers?"
That night, the valley was still brightly lit, and countless horse thieves were drunk and noisy. No one noticed the rapid and short cry for help from outside the valley.
Lu Lie sneaked into it carefully along the shadows under the mountain wall.
...
In the dim cave, about a hundred ragged villagers were imprisoned here with horror expressions. When they first arrived here by these horse thieves carrying big swords and ferocious faces, people cursed or made low crying sounds. However, those who made the sound were quickly forced out of the cave by the horse thieves and never came back. Soon, the remaining villagers were even more frightened and angry, and dared not make any sound.
The cave was extremely quiet, but there was a sense of despair. The villagers knew that these horse thieves would not let them go. Even if they were imprisoned here now, they only delayed their death. When they thought that they would be taken out of the cave one day in the future, they didn't know how they died, and all the villagers were ashamed.
On the aisle, there are often ferocious horse thieves patrolling with swords. Some people are not satisfied with each other, and even more so, they are directly cut off by a broken belly, which is a terrible sight.
Lu Lie's father and mother were among them. They sat in a relatively secluded corner without saying a word, holding hands together, quietly waiting for the arrival of death.
After a long time, the woman said lightly: "Oh, what I worry most is Alie, the child. Although he ran out of the village when the horse thief attacked and passed by them, it was a great blessing... But this child just woke up after five years of coma. As soon as he woke up, he was about to lose us. I really don't know how he would live in the future."
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time and said, "Don't worry, Alie, this child, has a natural appearance, so he lets him run out, nothing will happen... And what I worry most is that after he came back, he saw the village burned away, and in anger he followed the traces of the horse thief to take revenge. This is the most dangerous..."
