Chapter 27 Chapter 26 Bandit Den

The fire immediately illuminated the ancient tea forest, and Liao Laoer and I took a look into the forest and took a deep breath. It turned out that there were more than ten people hiding in the ancient tea forest.Zhao Shuai and Xiao Hei were ten steps away from the group of people, Hei Ying rushed into the crowd with Li Xiuzhu on his shoulders, thinking he was the same as that group of people.When the black shadow put Li Xiuzhu down, he turned sideways, and the firelight illuminated his face, and I realized that this person was the young man who scolded people at the back door of Li's house that night.

None of those people were from Manlong Village. When they found out that outsiders were present, they all stared at us in surprise and anger.Those eyes made me tremble all over, and the eyes of one of the middle-aged men evoked my memory. He was the leader of the Sifang Red Seal Bandit.I wailed in my heart, I didn't expect the sheep to go into the tiger's mouth, and actually broke into the bandit's den. There is really a way to heaven and I won't go.Mu Qingxiang still came and went without a trace, I just wanted to ask her if the group set fire to the tea tree king, but she had disappeared when I turned around.

"Xiaolu, listen to Mu Qingxiang, don't go in, they are bandits." Liao Lao Er quietly persuaded, and at the same time retreated three feet, as if to escape. "Come back!" I snapped, "Old Zhao and Xiao Hei are over there, how can we only care about ourselves? Don't you want pumpkin head tea?" When Liao Er heard the words "golden melon head tea", his eyes lit up immediately: "Of course I want it!" At this time, the smell of beef wafted from the ancient tea forest, but who would cook the beef here? Maybe it was the smell from the burning of the king tea tree.When the bandits saw us, the leader took out a gun from his body, shouted loudly, and told us to go over immediately.We were in a hurry, and no one was armed, so we had to catch them without a fight.Xiao Hei was relieved to see his sweetheart lying on the ground safe and sound, but completely forgot about his own safety.

Long before the fire blazed into the sky, Mu Qingxiang walked into the dark place of the forest. I hoped that she could find some helpers, but I felt that she was very indifferent, and she would definitely not be so enthusiastic to help.Liao Laoer and I walked over reluctantly. As soon as we entered the ancient tea forest, we saw a lot of stolen goods in the forest-tea, money, clothes, oil and salt, gold and silver, pearls and jade, etc., which can be described as everything.Zhao Shuai and Xiao Hei moved lightly and approached me and Liao Lao Er, but they were superior in numbers and had earthen guns, even if you were Zhang Sanfeng, you couldn't use your magical skills to get away.

The gangsters didn't kill people immediately, they quarreled on their own, and I immediately understood that they were fighting among themselves.Guessing from the quarrel, the leader of the gangsters is not the old man Hu Jie, nor the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man is just a small leader.I don't know who the leader is. They didn't say anything clearly. I only heard that the leader died at the hands of others.The lair of the gangsters is in the ancient tea forest, this is where they hid their stolen goods, and now they move out the stolen goods to settle the ownership of the stolen goods.Now that the leader is dead, some people want to separate and leave without harming nature; some want to find out the murderer and avenge the leader;

Most people don't want to do it anymore. They are all descendants of their fathers, and they are not born to want to be bandits.What's more, it is now the era of New China, and the bandits will not end well, nor will they have a bright future.What made them even more troublesome was that the original leader was violent, but he often used violence against his subordinates. Many people were flogged and beaten to pieces.Tyrants are unpopular, so most bandits are too happy to find out the real culprit. The middle-aged man doesn't want to do it anymore. Since the leader is dead, he will divide things and go his own way.Someone suddenly shouted that outsiders have seen their faces, what if they are reported, should they be killed?The four of us were terrified when we heard this, and hurriedly swore that we would never reveal anything about them, just pretending that we hadn’t seen anything.However, Liao Er Er didn't know what to do, and dared to make a request, wanting that ball of pumpkin head tribute tea.

I looked at the ancient tea tree king that was burning more and more prosperous, and felt distressed, but there was nothing I could do, I could only let it continue to burn.The bandits didn't care about the Tea Tree King at all. I saw a few cans of gasoline on the ground, and I thought it was their good deed to set the Tea Tree King on fire.We didn't dare to talk back, but I couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked them if they wanted to put out the fire of Tea Tree King.Unexpectedly, some of the bandits agreed, bluntly saying that the tea tree king should not be burned, after all, it is not an easy task to live for 3,500 years.But some people disagreed. They said that since the group was going to be disbanded, they had to burn the tea tree king who worshiped him back then, otherwise they would lose their children and grandchildren.

"We are just passing by, can you let us go, we will keep your affairs secret." Liao Er begged. Xiao Hei whispered in my ear: "I seem to know the person who carried Sister Li away, but I just can't remember who he is." "It's up to you!" The middle-aged man refused, "Quickly dig a hole and bury our leader. You have to dig a bigger hole, otherwise you will suffer." "The leader?" Zhao Shuai asked aloud, "Where is it? We have to know his size to dig a suitable hole." The middle-aged man was unsmiling, and did not answer Zhao Shuai, but turned sideways, meaning that the leader's body was right behind him.I, Zhao Shuai, Xiao Hei, and Liao Laoer looked over curiously, wanting to know what the leader looked like, but when I didn't want to see it, I shouted in my heart: Fuck, so this guy is the boss of the bandits!

The flames reflected on the face of the corpse, and we were all taken aback. The old man Hu Jie was not the boss of the bandits, but the missing old man Li!We thought that old man Li had escaped, or secretly drugged everyone, but we didn't expect him to be dead!But when you think about it carefully, Father Li is indeed very fierce. He killed his wife, forced his daughter away, his son died of illness, and often beat and scolded. These signs have already hinted.The middle-aged man growled in annoyance, telling us to dig a hole quickly and stop staring at the corpse. Unexpectedly, things turned around soon, and the bandits suddenly became weak and collapsed on the ground, except for one person—the young man who carried Li Xiuzhu away.The strange thing is, I, Zhao Shuai and Liao Lao Er are all doing well, but Xiao Hei is lying on the ground weakly, just like the bandits.The middle-aged man was holding an earthen gun. He realized that something was wrong, and immediately shot the young man who was walking over.The young man was unable to dodge in time, was shot out of the chest by the shotgun, and fell down.Zhao Shuai ran over quickly, and before the middle-aged man could pull the trigger again, Zhao Shuai had already kicked the earthen gun from the middle-aged man's hand away.

"What's going on?" I was dumbfounded by the sudden situation. Liao Laoer sniffed it vigorously, let out a long "oh", and then said that it was so, no wonder it smelled like cooked beef just now.Zhao Shuai picked up the earthen guns, searched the bandits, and recovered five earthen guns in total.When Zhao Shuai brought all the earthen guns over, the middle-aged man said bitterly, the Li family boy is so fucking heartless, he actually tampered with the tea tree king.It turned out that the young man was really Li Xiuzhu's younger brother, but didn't the people in Manlong village say that he died of illness three years ago?No wonder Xiao Hei said he thought the young man looked familiar, so they knew each other from the beginning, but the changes in the past three years were too great, and the light in the ancient tea forest was not stable, so he didn't remember it right away.

"What does he mean by manipulating things? Why aren't we like them?" I asked Liao's second son, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, at least temporarily out of danger. "Do you know about Broken Intestine Miao?" Liao Er Er asked me. Zhao Shuai rushed to answer: "Is it the heartbroken grass?" After listening to what Liao Laoer said, I remembered that the Remnant Book of Tea mentioned Broken Heart Miao. This kind of plant is not the same as Broken Heart Grass, but the name is similar.Broken intestine seedlings are only born in southwest China, and they like to attach to wild tea trees, and they are often seen on tea trees that are hundreds of years old.This gut-broken seedling itself is highly poisonous, but people will be poisoned or even die if they eat it, and pigs will grow fat if they eat it.Bees make honey from the pollen of gut-broken seedlings. They are fine, but people will be poisoned if they eat this honey. If the piles of broken intestines burned, they would smell of cooked beef, and the people who smelled it would be paralyzed, but the animals did not respond.It is also mentioned in the Remnant Tea Classic that in order to prevent the tea leaves from mixing with the broken intestine seedlings, the tea masters will tear the broken intestine seedlings from the tree and burn them.In order to prevent fainting, tea drinkers will drink a few sips of strong liquor first, so that it doesn't matter if they smell poisonous. "Fortunately, I stole Lao Wang's wine to enter the demon's house for courage, or I would be like them." I said happily, and at the same time glanced at Li Xiuzhu's younger brother, he was already out of breath.As for why he did this, and why he is still alive, it seems impossible to ask the answer from him. The bandits crawled weakly on the ground, begging us not to hurt them, forgetting that they wanted to kill us just now.Naturally, we will not kill people, we just want to take away Jingua Rentoucha and Li Xiuzhu, and the bandits will never get involved in their family affairs.Unexpectedly, the fire of the Tea Tree King intensified, and a few thick branches fell down, just hitting the stolen goods.The pumpkin human head tea brought out by the younger brother of the Li family was engulfed by the flames, and instantly disappeared into ashes, leaving nothing behind. Witnessing all this, Liao Laoer almost collapsed. The tea leaves, which were like national treasures, were burned in front of his eyes, as if in a dream.I also feel sorry for these treasures, but unfortunately only a few things can be rescued, and some of them are burned directly when they are hit by fire.None of us wanted to deal with the bandits, so we let them linger on the ground. Anyway, the scriptures say that after smelling the poisonous gas, they will recover slowly and will not hurt their lives. These bandits were all from other villages. If they wanted to make trouble, they would deceive their family members to go to the city to inquire about the tea business and take the opportunity to come out and enjoy themselves.I don't like these people at all, but I am curious why old man Hu Jie has those pair of sacrifices, but the bandits who fell on the ground all said that old man Hu Jie is not theirs.The bandits felt relieved when they saw that we would not harm them, and they even said they would let us take what we had, as polite as our own family members. It was Xiao Hei who was also lying on the ground. He kept asking me to see if Li Xiuzhu was okay and if she was injured.I reassured Xiao Hei that Li Xiuzhu had experienced many battles, such a trivial matter could not defeat her.I also went to check the body of old man Li. He was stabbed and his abdomen was covered with blood, but the bandits didn't know who killed him.The bandits probably wanted to get close and worried that we would hurt them, so they took the initiative to reveal that Li Xiuzhu's brother died by fraud.Three years ago, Father Li insisted that the younger brother of the Li family be the successor, so he was asked to leave his hometown and join the Sifang Red Seal Bandit with a new identity.But the younger brother of the Li family has always been reluctant. It is estimated that the father of Li was killed by him. He just wanted to stun everyone, maybe he wanted to eradicate the bandits. "I remember that Xiao Li has always wanted to be a driver, because only Lao Wang in the village can drive, and it is an honor to be able to drive, so he doesn't want to do these things, he just wants to drive." Xiao Hei murmured. I'm counting the stolen goods one by one, I want to choose a few precious things, and then run away, we are not coming to Yunnan either.Hearing Xiao Hei's nagging, I couldn't help being taken aback, and quickly asked, "What did you just say?" Xiao Hei was taken aback by my reaction, and I was also taken aback. It turned out that this is what happened in the Mancage Village!I was really too careless, the real mastermind behind the scenes is not these people in front of me at all, Manlong Village may be doomed!
