Urban Sims

Chapter 36
Another ten days later.

The weather is getting colder and colder. After the official winter, there have been three heavy snowfalls in the sky, and the temperature outside is dripping like ice.

In such a cold weather, Zhou Ming did not lie at home to recuperate from his injuries, but appeared in a small forest ten miles west of Grandland.

In the middle of the path in the grove, a large pit suddenly appeared.

The diameter of the big pit is about three meters, and the bottom is bottomless. The eggshell-shaped wall at the bottom of the pit has also been dug very smooth. After being sprinkled with water to freeze, it will slide to the center of the big pit involuntarily.

"Ryan, according to your design, we have already dug the pit, how about it, isn't the pit dug pretty good?"

Standing on the edge of the big pit, the thief Jie Luo said to Zhou Ming who was wrapped tightly in a sheepskin jacket.

Zhou Ming stepped forward, poked his head down, shook his head and said: "The depth of the pit is not enough, at least it needs to be as deep as the combined height of two adults to ensure that people in the pit cannot jump out. This pit is not enough. Just to be on the safe side, dig deeper."

"I've been digging for three days, and I'm still digging down? It's freezing like this today, who will dig? It's almost done!" A strong man with an iron pickaxe stood at the bottom of the pit and cried bitterly.

"If you're told to dig, you'll dig. What's the point?"

The dwarf Dom, who was also swinging an iron pick at the bottom of the pit, kicked the strong man. The strong man closed his mouth and continued to swing his pick.

"Jie Luo, are all the other things ready as well?" Zhou Ming asked.

"It's all ready and ready to use."

"Okay! Let's dig this big hole, it will come in handy in a few days."

……

Three days later.

On the streets of Qiangwei Town, a person who was unexpected by all the townspeople appeared.

Little Ryan didn't die. Instead, with the support of Master Downey and his sister Alice, he appeared at the small market in the town.

Not only that, Little Ryan also bought a lot of gifts from traveling merchants, and gave them to those close neighbors who were close to each other door to door, and told these neighbors that in three days, they would leave Grandland and go to the capital to study Well, maybe I won't go back to Granling in the future. This farewell should be the last time we meet.

The neighbors were very reluctant, saying that the weather outside is so cold and the snow is so heavy, so we should wait until the beginning of spring before leaving. Besides, his injuries have not yet healed, so long-distance travel, traveling all the way, is not good for his health. .

Zhou Ming declined these advices one by one, and told the neighbors and villagers to take care of their health. His luggage has been packed, and he will definitely leave Granling in three days. I hope they will take care of themselves.

In a room in Butler Bunode's house.

"Three days later, are you sure you heard correctly?"

"Master Baum was definitely not mistaken. I heard Ryan say this with my own ears. Moreover, he recently sold all the cattle and sheep in the family, and transferred the house to others. After three days, there is no way he will not leave!" The boy said.

"boom!"

Hitting the table heavily with his fist, Baum said in a voice that almost crushed his teeth: "Lian! This time, I will let you die without a place to bury you!"

……

three days later.

The gate of Granling Castle.

"My poor son, if you don't have a good time outside, you must go back to Grandling. Mom has nothing, and I don't want anything to happen to you."

Madame Madeleine burst into tears, and reluctantly pulled Donnie, only wishing to see him one more time.

"Mom, I will have a good life, bye, Mom!"

Downey, with red eyes, bit his lower lip, waved his whip, drove the carriage, and left the castle without looking back.

On the small road outside Qiangwei Town, Downey met Zhou Ming and Alice who were waiting on the side of the road with their packages on their backs. The two got into the carriage, and the three of them drove towards the avenue to the west together.

The carriage drove through the flat farmland and just entered a dense forest when a small pot suddenly appeared on the road surface, sinking the axle of the carriage in it.

"Drive, drive, drive!"

Donnie whipped his horsewhip several times, but the carriage did not move at all, and he wanted to get out of the carriage to check the situation in a hurry.

"Master Downey, it's better not to be so hasty, today's road is difficult for you to pass!"

A gloomy voice came from the nearby woods. A dozen servants with swords and sticks in their hands, led by a fat man, gathered with sneering smiles and surrounded the carriage in the center.

"Baum, what do you want to do? I'm still the second young master of Granling, and it's not your turn to act wild in front of me!"

Seeing Baum, who was not kind, Donnie sternly reprimanded him.

Baum waved his index finger and said with a smile, "Master Downey, of course Baum won't do anything to you, but the two people in the carriage..." His expression suddenly became extremely ferocious, and he clenched his fists and said: "They belong to me, Baum! I want to find out these two bugs and torture them with the cruelest criminal law in the world. I want to make their lives worse than death. I want to..."

"What are you going to do, Mr. Baum?"

A voice from the carriage interrupted Baum.

"I'm going to kill you!" Fatty Baum's eyes turned red when he saw Zhou Ming in the carriage, and he rushed towards him with a dagger in his hand.

Puff puff puff puff!

Before he got close to the carriage, a sharp sound sounded. Fatty Baum found that the dozen or so servants he had brought fell to the snow ground screaming, and even his own heart was stuck with a crossbow. .

Unprecedented severe pain began to occupy Baum's mind, but the deep-seated hatred in his heart made him still maintain his standing posture, watching the enemy getting closer and closer to him.

"Mr. Baum, the best way to repay the enemy is to kill him immediately, instead of talking so much nonsense."

Zhou Ming whispered in Baum's ear, holding the half of the crossbow with his left hand, and thrust it into Baum's heart with force.

"what!"

With an unwilling roar, Baum just fell to the ground.

"Clap clap clap!"

There was a burst of applause, and Jie Luo, who was wearing a snow camouflage suit, came over, clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful, really wonderful! Little guy, it's exactly as you guessed, this guy really couldn't wait to come over to die, a total of fourteen Individuals were all killed by us."

"Why don't you clean up this place quickly and move to the next place? We have to finish everything today!" Zhou Ming said to the robber Jie Luo with a grim expression.

"Yes, yes, Johnson, come here with a few people and move this corpse away..." the robber Jie Luo hurriedly ordered.

Downey on the other side also untied the horse pulling the carriage, made eye contact with Zhou Ming, nodded, got on the horse, and ran towards the castle at high speed.

……

Castle gate.

A fast horse came galloping.

"Brother Edward is sick! A group of robbers came to the west of the territory. They killed Baum. They took off Baum's clothes and hung his body on a tree!"

"what?"

Edward, who was drinking ale with two knights in a room with a burning fireplace, was shocked when he heard the news. He immediately put on his heavy armor, led two of his men, rode on a horse, and followed Downey to find Baum. In the grove of corpses.

"Brother Edward, look, Baum's body is on this tree."

After dismounting, Downey pointed to a big and thick tree.

On the branch of the big tree, hung a naked, frozen corpse like a dead pig. The corpse was swinging back and forth, as if mocking something.

Edward and the other two knights got off their horses and walked up to the corpse. After recognizing that it was Baum's corpse, Edward was even more vehement.

"Damn thieves, I will crush your bastards to pieces!"

"Go!"

A voice sounded suddenly, and the ground under Edward's feet suddenly sank downward. Unexpectedly, he fell into the big pit together with two other knights.

"No, there is a trap!" A person in the pit exclaimed.

"The prey is hooked, let's go!"

With an order, more than 20 thieves who were lying in wait rushed out from the nearby woods. A big man joined forces to carry a thick log.

"Lime!"

Countless white powder was thrown into the big pit. The three people in the pit raised their heads and looked up. A hot feeling came from their eyes, and their vision was suddenly blurred.

"This guy is about to crawl out of the pit, hit me with the mace!"

The nimble Edward, stepping on the back of Knight Vincent, was about to jump out of the big pit when several huge maces hit the helmet on his head heavily together. After a burst of pain and dizziness, he fell into it again. into the pit.

"Is the log ready? Hurry up and hoist the log!" Jie Luo, the bandit in charge, said anxiously.

"Okay, okay, the log is loaded and ready to be pulled!"

It turned out that the rope used to hang Baum's body was immediately hung with a thick log weighing more than 500 kilograms after the body was put down. After pulling it to a height of more than three meters, it will be lowered like a free fall.

"what!"

A scream came from the pit. I don't know it was the unlucky ghost who was smashed into a ball of meat by the log.

"Get ready, let go!"

"what!"

"Get ready, let go!" The log was hoisted high again.

"Donnie, you bastard... Ah!" Edward's screams also came from the pit.

Donnie, who was standing not far away, trembled violently when he heard this voice, and kept muttering, "It's not my fault, you forced me, you forced me..."

The log was lifted and dropped dozens of times until there was no sound from the pit, and the robbers cheered and celebrated when they saw that there was only a mass of bones or flesh and blood left in the pit.
