My apprentice is too diligent.

Chapter 154 [154] Opportunity to kill! (Please subscribe)

The old man's roar of grief and anger echoed at the entrance of the village.

Duan Zhen and Nan Jinyu stopped abruptly.

Nan Jinyu wore a veil, with surprise and doubt in her eyes.

Duan Zhen remained indifferent.

He turned around and looked at the white-haired old man from a distance.

"You...what do you want to do?"

The white-haired old man subconsciously took two steps back, trembling, and growled hysterically, "Do you want to kill me too? Come on, come on and kill me!"

"Dad, stop talking."

A tall but thin middle-aged man ran over quickly and pulled the old man towards the village.

While pulling, he bowed his head and apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my father is mentally ill, I hope you two young heroes can forgive me."

Not far behind, the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village were cowering in fear, anger, despair, fear, and confusion.

Nan Jinyu and Duan Zhen looked more and more puzzled.

"I'm not sick, don't pull me!"

The old man looked like he was going all out, struggling and shouting, "Anyway, I've had enough life, and I can't live for more than a few days. It's better to die in the hands of you rangers than to die in the hands of bandits."

"Bandits?"

Duan Zhen couldn't help but say, "Aren't all the bandits dead?"

"Everyone is dead!"

The old man was filled with grief and anger, "There are still more in the mountains! Kill them, slap their butts and leave. Where are we going? Where are we going! I..."

"you shut up!"

Nan Jinyu glared at the old man, his gaze mixed with sword intent, which frightened the old man and immediately choked him, and all the words stuck in his throat.

His body trembled and he lowered his head, his eyes full of fear.

Nan Jinyu's gaze turned to the middle-aged man and said coldly, "Tell me! Tell me in detail!"

"Yes Yes."

The middle-aged man trembled and explained, "You two...the two young heroes killed only part of the bandits. There are more bandits on Crouching Tiger Mountain. How many bandits are there? Are they not very small?" Clearly, but definitely more than a hundred!”

"They... they have been entrenched in Crouching Tiger Mountain for several years. Every three months, they will go down the mountain and rob nearby villages. As long as they give enough money and food, they will not kill anyone. Occasionally, if they give less, they will cut down the most. Fingers, toes, tongue cutting, that sort of thing.”

"But if anyone resists, they will be brutally killed, and the whole family's heads will be cut off and placed at the entrance of the village."

"You two... young heroes, kill them."

The middle-aged man's body trembled, he glanced at the corpse of the bandit on the ground, and said sadly, "When the bandits on Crouching Tiger Mountain receive the news, they will come down from the mountain and massacre our entire village..."

At the end of the sentence, the middle-aged man couldn't hide his despair on his face.

There are bandits entrenched on Crouching Tiger Mountain, and they have reported it to the official a long time ago.

However, these bandits did not kill many people, and the mountains of Crouching Tiger Mountain were too steep and remote, so the government was basically in harmony.

They can escape.

But whether he can escape is a big question.How long can the young and old in the village escape?
Besides, where can I escape?
Our ancestors have been here for generations. After leaving the village and losing their fields, they become precarious refugees!
"Heaven wants to destroy us, God wants to destroy us!"

The white-haired old man recovered a little, his body trembled, his head lowered, and he cried out like a sob.

"Heaven is going to die..."

"To shut up!"

Nan Jinyu shouted coldly, and the old man trembled and stopped abruptly.

"Where is Crouching Tiger Mountain?"

Duan Zhen looked at the middle-aged man.

"Ah?" The middle-aged man was startled, "Two...the two young heroes are..."

"Take us to Crouching Tiger Mountain."

Nan Jinyu said coldly, "Since all the bandits are dead, you don't have to die anymore."

what! ?

The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this.

The white-haired old man also raised his head suddenly and looked at Nan Jinyu and Duan Zhen in shock.

"Is there a problem?"

Duan Zhen said calmly, "Take us to Crouching Tiger Mountain."

"No... no problem!"

The middle-aged man pinched his thigh and replied excitedly and excitedly, "No problem, don't worry, young heroes, I have been to Crouching Tiger Mountain many times, and I promise not to let the bandits on the mountain discover me!"

"Then let's go." Duan Zhen turned around.

Nan Jinyu also turned around and walked slowly.

"Hey, hey."

The middle-aged man nodded hastily, "Dad, you wait in the village, I will take the two young heroes to Crouching Tiger Mountain."

With that said, he let go of the still shocked white-haired old man, quickly caught up with Duan Zhen and Nan Jinyu, and ran ahead.

A group of three people went into the forest.

Although the middle-aged man is thin, he walks quickly on the mountain road and shuttles through it as nimbly as a monkey.

Nan Jinyu and Duan Zhen used Qinggong and Shenfa to follow behind.

It was silent all the way, climbing one mountain after another.

Almost an hour and a half later, it was getting dark.

The middle-aged man stopped, hid in the bushes, pointed at a steep mountain in front of him, and whispered, "That's Crouching Tiger Mountain. Most of the bandits on the mountain are in the village halfway up the mountain."

"Ah."

Duan Zhen responded calmly, "You can go back."

As he spoke, he tiptoed and flew over.

Like Nan Jinyu, he shuttled back and forth lightly.

go back?

Middle-aged men don’t go back.

He looked expectantly at Duan Zhen and Nan Jinyu before they disappeared from sight.

If the bandits on Crouching Tiger Mountain were really wiped out by Duan Zhen and Nan Jinyu this time.

The villages around Crouching Tiger Mountain can all be liberated.

When the money and food are turned in every three months, which time does the whole village not save through the teeth?

The middle-aged man missed something just now.

That is, when the money and food supply is low, bandits will snatch away the women in the village!
The captured women will not be released until they have been in the mountains for three months.

As for what will happen after being captured, all fools know.

Do you hate middle-aged men?

Of course hate!
His mother-in-law was arrested twice...

But no one dared to resist, and those who resisted died.

This was a secret in every village. No one would expose the scandal, so the middle-aged man subconsciously kept it secret.

At this moment, his eyes widened, his ears pricked up, and he stared in the direction of Crouching Tiger Mountain without blinking.

After waiting for almost half a quarter of an hour, a red light suddenly appeared on Crouching Tiger Mountain.

That is……

Firelight?

Thick smoke accompanied the fire, burning fiercely and rising into the sky.

Faintly, the shouts of killing and screams could be heard through the mountain wind, resounding endlessly.

The middle-aged man's body couldn't help but tremble when he heard it, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

He waited and waited and waited and waited.

When all the sounds disappeared, I finally couldn't help but run into the dark and ran towards Crouching Tiger Mountain.

When you first go up the mountain, sneakiness lurks.

Arriving halfway up the mountain and approaching the village, I smelled the pungent smell of blood, and then through the open gate of the village I saw corpses all over the ground.

His breathing suddenly became rapid and his body trembled. He suppressed his excitement and sneaked in.

After walking around and confirming that all the bandits were dead, he relaxed and burst into tears as he laughed.

"Hahaha!"

……

Outside Crouching Tiger Mountain.

Duan Zhen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard the laughter coming from the wind.

The two went to Crouching Tiger Mountain and killed all the bandits. Not only did they collect the last elixir from the bandit leader's private treasure house, they also obtained a treasure bow.

Duan Zhen lowered his head slightly, looked at the wide war bow that was glowing under the moonlight in his hand, and thought to himself.

'Since it was obtained from Crouching Tiger Mountain, let's call it 'Crouching Tiger Bow'! '
