Chapter 2 Race against time
The murderer who started to slaughter the village was nothing but someone else, but the bandits in Fengtouling where he was located!
The leader of Fengtouling is the leader of Shanbao!
At eight or nine o'clock this morning, in more than four hours, Shan Bao would take most of the minions of the mountain village to Shibi Village!
At dusk, we arrived at the Shihe River, not far from Shibi Village.
In order to catch Shibi Village off guard, they lurked in the reeds and waited until early in the morning to launch an attack while the villagers were sleeping! After attacking, they burned and plundered all day long, and they did not return with full load the morning afterwards!
In his previous life, when the village slaughter incident occurred, he and several friends from the same village were always kept in the dark and stayed foolishly in the copycat to "guard the house"!
Until the village returned from the massacre, the bandits who committed the crime had no time to wipe out Du Yu and others. A bandit who had some friendship with them on weekdays revealed the truth to them in advance and asked them to run away!
When he and his friends sneaked back to the village, they could no longer hear the sound of people or the crowing of roosters! Wherever they saw, there were burnt corpses everywhere, bloodstains, ruins, and embers.
As memories come, more and more past events come to my mind.
After returning from rebirth, it’s enough to be happy for three minutes; the next task is heavy and urgent!
The village slaughter incident in front of us must be stopped; six years later, the tragedy of interstellar robbers invading, and the tragedy of deposing humans on the entire planet to slaves must be stopped! As long as one of these two things is not done well, you will not be able to escape the tragic fate of your previous life!
But, what should I do specifically?
It is obviously an impossible task to resist hundreds of bandits with bows and swords on their own! If you can’t make trouble, you can’t help but get in first!
You have to plan well!
The more urgent the time is, the less you can make mistakes in your busy schedule!
While thinking quickly, Du Yu used the faint candlelight to look through the gaps in the wooden boards and looked at his fellow village partners lying on the outer room:
The scar of righteousness and impulsiveness;
The calm and thoughtful Hu Zheng;
Gao Zhuo, who has a talent for archery;
Huangshanhe, who is timid and cowardly and has a low sense of existence;
And the beards that are the most literate among this group of people, who have always regarded themselves as cultural people.
After thinking about it, these friends can't help at the moment.
At this time, the others were sleeping well, only Gao Zhuo tossed and turned, probably having a nightmare, right?
Du Yu remembered that just a week ago, Gao Zhuo's younger brother Gao You was seriously injured and killed by hitting the old bandit Chen Sangou who bumped into the village!
Yesterday was Gao You's first seventh day. Chen Sangou deliberately brought someone over to the cat and cried rats for pretending to be compassionate, which led to another conflict between the two sides. His back was cut at that time.
The reason why Chen Sangou is so unscrupulous is related to the low status of their half-grown children in the parody.
To be precise, so far, Du Yu and others are not formal bandits, and can only be considered accurate bandits. They are still marginal figures in Fengtouling. Because they are young and have little experience, they are mainly responsible for keeping watch, transport, and robbing on weekdays.
They are not allowed to go on, not because of the benevolence and righteousness of big and small leaders, but because they are considered "technical jobs" in the copycat, and they can get more trophy afterwards! Moreover, the chances of robbery are not available every day. As long as they are not encountering a tough battle that must be piled up with people's lives, the old bandits will basically compete for it and will never give up the "fatty" to the novice.
Therefore, every time I go on a task, I only let Du Yu and others do porters - specializing in heavy work and tiring work, and I get less than one-third of other people's jobs.
If those elderly bandits are compared to regular troops, they are equivalent to baggage teams.
But even so, the life of a copycat is better than that of a village.
In the past year, he and his friends have not only barely been half full, but have also secretly carried food to their home twice to help them survive the food shortage.
If Chen Sangou hadn't disrupted the situation, Du Yu and his friends would be quite satisfied with the profession of bandits, even those old bandits wouldn't even let them rob.
When it's okay, I stand on the shore for the mountain village, hold a watch, chop firewood, and pick up water; when the robbery mission comes, I will put in some effort to carry things behind the large army. The danger is not high, but I can get some spoils.
There is a hunger world on this road, and they don't know that there is a profession that is more suitable for them than this.
Think about it carefully, in my previous life, even if my companions were beaten to death or Du Yu was injured, they did not abandon the village immediately, nor did they seek revenge on Chen Sangou. Although there was a timidity, there was also a reason that everyone knew it was tacit - where could they make a living after leaving the village?
It is impossible to go back to the village, and it feels bad to be hungry.
Moreover, since they all came out, it is impossible to go back in shame! Otherwise, the rolling eyes and criticism of neighbors would make them look down upon.
It is even more feasible to switch to other counterfeit villages.
Not only will the rules in the bandit circle, those who change to the counterfeit village will be discriminated against, but they may be wiped out by an undercover agent who is regarded as Fengtouling with a knife.
Because using fake surrender as a means, the internal and external annexation of other counterfeit villages is not uncommon in the history of bandits.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that Chen Sangou has been at large.
Many years later, Du Yu even learned from another bandit who was familiar with Chen Sangou:
The robbery of Shibi Village was a way that Chen Sangou encouraged and led by himself. The reason was probably that Du Yu and others did not show their due respect when they were bullied;
It was Chen Sangou who left Du Yu and others to guard the mountain village indirectly arranged by Shan Bao, otherwise Shan Bao would not know who Du Yu and others were? Will he leave them behind?
What’s even more hateful is that Shan Bao’s original intention was to grab food. It was Chen Sangou who took the lead in teasing, invading the female family, causing fierce resistance, and eventually leading to the tragedy of slaughtering the village!
In the end, he also advocated the elimination of Du Yu and others, but they got the news in advance and ran away.
Unfortunately, when the bandit told him the news, everything had changed. They didn't even know whether Chen Sangou was dead or alive, and there was no way to talk about revenge.
God has eyes, and he gave himself a chance to do it again!
This disaster that comes from a neighboring village and is extremely familiar with Shibi Village must be eliminated immediately!
Although from the perspective of time, the plan to rob Shibi Village must have been decided, and the person who is a little slight person can't change the course. However, without Chen Sangou, Shanbao and others may not be able to understand the terrain and roads of that area!
What's more, Du Yu has long honed a strong mind after nearly a hundred years of experience on the alien planet!
"A gentleman takes revenge for ten years" has to comfort himself under the huge gap in strength. He may experience it in the future, but it will never include Chen Sangou! At least on this night, he does not think that Chen Sangou may escape the disaster with a mental apology and unintentional situation!
Thinking of this, Du Yu tried to put his hand under the pillow and touch it. It was indeed a sharp dagger!
