Jiang Li, wearing a veil on her head, was forced out of the carriage. She heard noisy sighs and teasing sounds, and several wanton gazes were fixed on her.

She shrank her shoulders in fear, and the almost transparent perfume powder under her long sleeves scattered in the wind.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

The bandits who were watching took a deep breath in fascination, their eyes full of intoxication.

"Even though he's covering his face, his figure is so... Tsk!"

"The boss is so lucky!"

Despite his shrinking and fear, Jiang Li's face and expression, hidden by the bamboo hat, were as calm as water.

There wasn't even any anger at being offended.

After all, what's the point of getting angry with a dead person?

"Let's go!"

The scar-faced Fourth Brother waved his hand smugly and led Jiang Li into the Black Water Village.

Jiang Li pretended to be weak and unable to walk fast, and took this opportunity to secretly look at the village in front of him.

Heishui Village is named Heishui because it is built on a steep mountain wall and there is a dark and steep river below the village.

From a distance, the continuous villages look like a beehive.

This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is only one road that can successfully reach the village. Once it is blocked, no one can climb up the cliff.

Based on the size of the village and the bandits he saw along the way, Jiang Li made a rough estimate that there were about two hundred people in the Heishui Village.

It is definitely not a village that can survive simply by robbing travelers.

Scarface Lao Si said that the living people in Heishui Village are much more useful than the dead. To support such a large village, there must be another two hundred people hiding in secret. The people who disappeared in Huaiqing were probably in Heishui Village.

So what kind of industry can hide so many people in the mountains and be so easy to control?

"Could it be..."

Jiang Li's mind moved, and he looked at a kind of vine that could be seen everywhere in Heishui Village. It had oval leaves, and the young vines had stiff and coarse hairs, while the lower part of the vine was hairless.

This is--

"Honeysuckle and mandarin duck vine are silver mines!"

The most obvious plant that grows outside of the silver mine, there is a silver mine in Heishui Village!

Behind the curtain, Jiang Li's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that Heishui Village would have an unexpected gain.

Jiang Li walked slowly, attracting the attention of many bandits and constant discussions along the way.

This was exactly what Scarface Fourth wanted. He even changed his mind and did not take Jiang Li directly to the boss's room. Instead, he took Jiang Li around most of the Black Water Village.

Wherever it passed, the wind left bursts of fragrance, which sparked a lot of discussion among the bandits.

When they arrived at the main village, almost everyone in the village knew that the fourth in command had snatched away a stunning celestial being, and that it had almost been decided that she would be the best birthday gift at the first in command's birthday banquet.

"Big brother!"

Scarface's fourth brother laughed so hard that his eyes were invisible when he entered the main camp. He started shouting loudly before he even saw the boss.

"Brother, tomorrow is your birthday, and I found a treasure for you!"

"baby?"

A rough voice was heard in the hall. Jiang Li paused as he entered the room and looked around the entire hall.

He immediately clenched his hands and silently took back the poison at his fingertips.

There's actually a lot of silver here.

Compared to the shabby mountain stronghold that Lian Luxing had seen before, this hall was shining with silver, and all the utensils were made of silver.

Being able to use silver so lavishly, the possibility of having silver mines is even higher.

The high-purity silver could detect a small portion of the poison she was carrying, and the poisonous incense that looked like perfumed powder was right among it.

"Old Four, what treasures can you find when you go down the mountain? Besides, my eldest brother has seen all kinds of treasures, so an ordinary birthday gift won't do!"

The sharp voice concealed ill intentions, and even more so, an indescribable pride, "It can only be considered a treasure if I find that jadeite golden statue!"

"Don't worry about it, Third Master. Big Brother will definitely like this baby more!"

The scarred fourth boss glared at the skinny third boss provocatively, then stepped aside to reveal Jiang Li, who was wearing a bamboo hat, behind him.

"woman!"

The thin third in command's scream was so piercing that it hurt the eardrums. He looked at Jiang Li, who was wearing a veil, in disbelief, feeling quite unwilling.

The young woman whom he had been searching for for more than half a month was unexpectedly found by the fourth brother after just one trip down the mountain.

And looking at this woman's figure, she is absolutely top-notch!

"Not bad!"

The rough voice of the head of the family sounded again, and a strong wind blew, and the veil on Jiang Li's head was directly blown away, revealing her true face.

"Oh my God! How can it be so ugly!"

The third boss' voice was so loud that he laughed like a duck, "Fourth brother, is this the treasure you were looking for?"

The face under the veil was covered with red spots, and it was impossible to tell what she originally looked like. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she looked like an evil ghost.

The scar-faced fourth brother was also startled and looked hurriedly towards the big boss.

"Brother, she, she didn't look like this before!"

He turned to Jiang Li with a dark face and shouted, "What's wrong with your face!"

"I came to Huaiqing to seek medical treatment... My face becomes like this whenever it sees the sun."

Jiang Li shivered, covering her face, looking weak and pitiful.

The big boss at the top stood up from the pure silver throne, his face full of flesh trembling.

He walked up to Jiang Li and looked up and down the mark on his face boldly to make sure it was real.

He looked unhappy, "When will it be restored?"

"Without sunlight for three to five days at most, or one or two days at least, the mark will disappear."

"Tsk, what a bummer."

The eldest boss turned around and sat back on the silver throne, waving his hand, "Old Four, take her away. Tomorrow night, I want to see her intact face!"

"Yes Yes!"

Scarface quickly took Jiang Li out of the hall.

As excited as he was when he arrived, as embarrassed he was when he left.

He led Jiang Li into an empty room in the main village, and Scarface turned his head and stared at Jiang Li fiercely.

"I'm telling you, if you don't look good at my birthday party tomorrow, it'll ruin my plans—"

He raised the big knife in his hand and put the blade against Jiang Li's cheek.

"I will peel off your skin piece by piece with my own hands!"

Jiang Li's eyes were filled with fear, his hands were tightly clasped in front of his chest, and he couldn't utter a word.

Scarface Old Four smelled a hint of fragrance between his nostrils and his face froze.

He said, "Just shout if you want something!", put away the knife, turned around and closed the door.

Jiang Li raised his eyes again, his expression calm, without a trace of fear or panic.

She raised her hand and touched the red mark on her face. As her fingers touched, the red mark disappeared quickly.

Then he looked around the room in front of him. Compared to the luxurious hall, the room was too simple, with only a table, a bed, a window and a door.

I quickly walked to the window and looked out. I heard the howling wind and gurgling water outside. This house was suspended on a cliff.

"It's a nice place."

Jiang Li curled the corners of his lips slightly, rolled up his wide sleeves, took out four blades, and assembled them into a long sword neatly.

When it was dark, she opened the window and jumped out.

On the outskirts of Heishui Village, Xiaoyang sat on a treetop and kept looking at the location of the main village, his brows furrowed into a small frown.

As the night grew darker, he touched the dagger tied to his arm.

"Tsk! I'm not worried about her!"

He gritted his teeth and jumped down, then quietly approached the main camp in the night.
