Chapter 30 Xiling Mountains The two green foxes seemed frightened when they saw the two of them. One of them turned around and went into the forest, while the other fell to the ground without saying a word.
"died?"
Bai Mo took a closer look and found that the green fox had large mottled blood stains on it, as if it had been scratched by a sharp weapon. He couldn't help but be surprised, "There are other people in this deep mountain and old forest?"
As if he felt the death of his companion, the sound of a fox crying suddenly came from the forest, and then the sound became smaller and smaller, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"The osmanthus leaf brushes the osmanthus pendant, and the green raccoon cries blood and the cold fox dies. This beast is also spiritual, and he knows that his companions are mourning." Li He stared at the fox corpse, maybe thinking of himself, and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, fire suddenly appeared in the direction where the green fox jumped out, and several human voices sounded at the same time, "Where did you run to?"
"Third Master, there is a fire ahead!!"
"There seems to be someone."
"Go over and have a look."
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight big men in black jumped out from the forest, each holding a sharp knife and carrying the bodies of several small animals, such as pheasants, hares, and turtledoves. "It turns out they are two scholars. Where did you get them from?" The leading man opened his clothes and bare chest, revealing his thick chest hair. He was holding a large axe, looking at Bai Mo and the other two, and shouted in a low voice.
"The two of us are students rushing to take the exam, how many of us are there?" Bai Mo was wary, could he meet a bad guy on the first day of travel? ?
"I won't hide it from you, we are bandits," the man waved the big ax in his hand twice and said with a rough laugh, "But don't be afraid, there is a rule in our industry that we will not rob the scholars who take the exam."
Bai Mo was wary, clasped his fists and said with a smile, "It turns out they are heroes from the mountains. There is no business in this barren mountain. How can these heroes have the time to come here?"
"What a scholar, he is quite courageous." When the man saw the two of them, Bai Mo, one was calm and the other was confident, he admired and said boldly, "Borrow me a fire."
"Excuse me, everyone." Bai Mo nodded and gestured with his hands.
A few bandits raised a fire and roasted the prey, then they said, "We brothers used to hang out in Heifeng Ridge. Not long ago, some unruly things killed several of my brothers, and recently a shit basin caught us. The village is so angry. No, the boss asked me to take a few brothers to inquire about the situation. "
The man looked at Bai Mo and the two of them and reminded them, "You two are weak, so you should be careful. Not all bandits follow the same rules as our brothers."
"Heifeng Ridge? It's the Black Wind Bandits!! These people are here for the Huang Mansion." Bai Mo and Li He looked at each other with solemn eyes and nodded in agreement, both thinking of this.
"Third Master, the Xiling Mountains are a big place, but there are not many prey. Who can eat these little things?" The Black Wind Bandits are all burly men with big appetites. Just two or three small beasts can probably eat them. Eat and complain a few words.
"Brothers, you, Er Mazi, eat the most. There are not as many edible living things in this mountain as there are graves. If you want to eat, you can kill them yourself." The third master casually threw the big ax in his hand to the ground, smashing a hole in the ground. The pit was not shallow, he laughed and cursed.
"This ax weighs at least a hundred pounds upward. That man is so strong." Bai Mo's eyelids jumped at the sight.
Li He swallowed the dry food with the clear water in the bag and said loudly, "If the land is thin, big things will not be produced; if the water is shallow, big fish will not swim; if the trees are bare, big birds will not live; if there are sparse forests, big animals will not live. This is Xiling Mountain" There are often people coming to chop wood in the surrounding areas, and there are many mausoleums in the mountains. The land is vast and the forests are sparse, so those who can hunt down these little beasts are considered lucky."
The leading man laughed loudly after hearing this, "Did you hear that? The scholar studies a lot. He has already said that there are no big beasts outside. If you want to eat well and drink spicy food, when we get to the place and finish the work, we will take you to visit the brothel." "
"The third master is mighty!!" Er Mazi shouted quickly, and the rest of the group started to fight in a decent night of silence.
Early the next morning, Bai Mo suddenly opened his eyes and stared at several black bandits not far away.
In the open space in the distance, the third leader of the Black Wind Pirates was swinging the ax in his hand. The strong wind was blowing, causing the dead branches to shake and the fallen leaves to fly.
"Little brother, you woke up early." After playing with a set of axes, the third master saw Bai Mo waking up and said hello, then strode towards the remaining Black Wind Bandits, kicking one at a time, and kicked the sleeping one. Several people were kicked awake.
"Wake up, damn it, the pigs in the village are not as comfortable as you, yet you dare to ask me to keep vigil for you."
Not long after, Bai Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the figures of several black bandits disappearing. Although these people kept saying there were rules, bandits were still bandits after all.
This is not the first time he has heard of the name of the Black Wind Bandit. The Yamen has sent people to encircle and suppress it before, but the Xiling Mountain is so big that it is extremely difficult to find it just by digging into any corner. Over the years, the Black Wind Bandit has not only never It dissipates, but grows bigger and bigger, roaring in the mountains and forests, and occupying the land is king.
"This time the Black Wind Bandits come down the mountain, I'm afraid something will happen in Fuchang County."
Two days later, deep in Xiling Mountain, Bai Mo suddenly frowned and looked at the vast white don't know when, the fog suddenly rose in the mountains, and it became thicker and thicker. Now, I can no longer tell the direction.
"Brother He, follow me, this fog is a bit weird." He shouted to Li He, The little black dog came out of the arms and looked at the mist with wide eyes, seeming a little scared.
"I always have a bad feeling, I'm afraid I've encountered something strange." Bai Mo took a deep breath and thought to himself.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Why didn't Brother He speak for a long time?He quickly turned his head and was shocked. Li He, who was supposed to be on the cart, had disappeared.
"When?" He felt awe-struck in his heart. He was so close and he didn't even feel anything?
He was anxious and wanted to follow the path he came from, but found that the fog was so thick that he could not see the path under his feet clearly, and only the faint outlines of the surrounding rocks and trees remained.
The little black dog's hair stood up and suddenly barked several times to the right.
"There's movement!" Bai Mo didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly groped to the right.
when! Not long after, Bai Mo kicked his foot, as if he had kicked something. Is this sound an iron weapon? ? He bent down and picked up the object he kicked, but it turned out to be a broken knife. After looking at it carefully for a few times, he found that it looked familiar.
After a few breaths, he began to wonder, "It looks like the weapons of the group of black thieves from the past two days, how come they are here."
"Is this?" Bai Mo's fingers slowly swept across the crack of the broken knife. His eyes suddenly froze. Looking at the several scratches on the weapon, he stretched out his palm and curled his fingers, made a few gestures, and murmured to himself. , "Caught out?"
"Who is it?" He suddenly turned around and looked to the left, only to see a faint black shadow creeping in the mist.
