Doomsday Bandits and Tramps

==========================

"Hurry up! Look this way!"

"Be careful! Those two boys must not be far away! Find them quickly!"

"The two of you go down, the two of you go to the river, and the rest look up the mountain! I have to dig three feet and bring them back!"

"Yes!"

Xiu and Pulin hid in the bushes of the hillside forest, with turf on their backs and black mud smeared on their faces, lying motionless on the ground.

Less than 30 meters away from them, a few bandits came back with knives and patrolled the woods, swinging machetes in the bushes from time to time.

What's even more frightening is that they are holding a strange beast in their hands!

"Shh..."

Xiu pressed Pulin's hand, and made a silent gesture towards him. He kept his eyes fixed on the approaching beast. The beast seemed to have discovered Xiu's existence, and looked up at him.

"Second master, why didn't Heibei leave?"

"Watch out! There's something in the grass!"

Several bandits spread out and slowly surrounded them from both sides.

Prin's heart was beating up to his throat, he didn't dare to move, his back was dripping with sweat, Xiu stared at the beast closely, his eyes were fierce, the beast didn't dare to bark, didn't dare to approach, and kept wandering in place stomp.

The bandits communicated with each other with their eyes, and they were about to spot the two.

Suddenly, there was a movement in the grass, and everyone was startled. A hare jumped out of the woods with a 'swoosh'.

"Black back! Black back!"

The encirclement collapsed in an instant, and the bandits chased after the beast and shouted.

"Let it! A beast, it will come back by itself when it is full!"

The bandit in the lead yelled at everyone, with a knife on his shoulder: "Damn it! Damn it! I can't even see a shadow after searching for a long time! Hey! The one below! Did you find anyone!"

"No!"

"I didn't see that either!"

The bandits at the foot of the mountain hurried up to join them: "Second Master, we have searched all over this area, but we found nothing."

"Yeah, the second master, are we going in the wrong direction!"

Looking at the dense forest, the Erdang family cursed inwardly unwillingly: "I don't believe it anymore! If you catch one, those two people will definitely not run away! Tell someone to release the white eyes and the golden hook!"

"Yes!"

What are white eyes and golden hooks?

Xiu and Pulin were wondering when they saw one of the bandits pinching their lower lip with one hand, and after a loud and gentle whistle, two hawks suddenly rang out over the dense forest!

"Second leader! East! They're going east!"

"Go! Follow up!"

The bandits hurried down the mountain, and the two of them hid in the bushes. They didn't let out a long sigh of relief until they saw the figure of the bandits going away down the mountain.

"Damn! Scared me to death!"

Pullin pressed his chest, afraid that his heart would accidentally jump out: "I thought we were dead."

"Sorry," Xiu patted Prin's shoulder, "I can't do anything casually until I have a good grasp of their numbers and equipment."

"Understood, understood, if the eldest brother was here, he would definitely not agree with us to act rashly. Wait and see what happens, what we bandits have is patience."

Prince said proudly that he didn't seem to be too anxious about Seth's situation.

"Aren't you worried about him?"

"Worried? My elder brother?" Prin chuckled and sat cross-legged on the ground, "It's okay, as long as he doesn't die, the other side will die. Don't worry, my elder brother is very hard-fated."

Xiu Mingran lowered his head and smiled: "You brothers have such a good relationship."

"Fuck, he always bullies me," Prince said angrily, "We have to fight every three to five times, but every time I can't beat him, I can only hang him outside when he is not paying attention The clothes were cut."

"Pfft, hahaha, I said why there are so many patches on his clothes, and the hat is also broken."

Prince also laughed: "Relieve it, but if he finds out afterwards, he will beat me up again."

"My brother beat me up a lot too."

Xiu sighed, and said somewhat disappointedly: "I have been beaten by him since I was a child, every three days I was beaten a little, and every five days I was beaten a lot, and I never beat him."

"You will be beaten if you are so powerful, your brother must be very powerful."

"Well, it's all in the past."

Xiu sniffed, then changed his tone and said, "Go and find their lair first, this way, I saw them dragging the car up the river."

"Okay, find them, rescue the eldest brother, and then get rid of the pot!"

Xiu and Pulin were covered with turf, and moved cautiously among the trees, following the periphery of the surviving area to reach the upper reaches of the river.

At the bottom of the hillside, on the upper reaches of the river, there is a huge wooden door along both sides of the valley. The wooden door is formed by splicing side by side thick wooden piles. m is two sentry posts.The river passes through the middle of the sentry post, and there are large farmlands on both sides. The fields are full of crops. Vegetables and fruit trees are also planted on the low slopes around the farmlands. There are many poultry in the fields, and the water from the river is drawn to the surrounding areas. In the pond, little ripples indicate that there are fish in the water.

The surviving land in the river valley is completely self-sufficient, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is protected by natural dangers. It is safe and comfortable, not much worse than a fortress city with high walls.

It should be so.

The two saw that going down the river, a wide courtyard was tightly wrapped by high-walled iron gates, and densely packed barbed wire was embedded on the high wall. There was a sentry post at each of the four corners of the wall, and bandits with guns were lying on the post. Sleeping soundly, there are many figures in the four-story building, and guns and artillery can be seen everywhere.

It seemed to be an abandoned school, and after the walls were heightened, it was transformed into this impenetrable appearance.

"That's where the bandits live."

Rather than saying that it was the old lair of the bandits, Xiu felt that it was more like a prison, completely different from the verdant river valley pastoral style.

"Xiu, why don't I believe that they are vicious and can farm honestly, no matter how you look at them, they are not people who know how to work."

"I don't believe it either."

Xiu carefully observed the prison, the wall was too high, he couldn't see the scene in the courtyard, and he didn't find Seth's figure, but he faintly felt that this place was far more than what they saw.

The two sneaked in the forest, quietly surveying the surrounding terrain, and when they were hungry, they would eat wild fruits from the trees.

Water vapor filled the mountain depression, and after noon, the sun finally penetrated the mist and shone into the valley.

"Clang clang clang!"

The low chime of the bell echoed in the valley, and the two hurriedly hid in the bushes. The gate of the prison opened slowly, with a few bandits in front, and a group of skinny people came out slowly behind them like corpses, and then came out like ghosts. Scattered to the fields, burying their heads in farming.

"So that's it," Xiu clenched his fists, the bandits on the sentry post were still sleeping like dead pigs, "a bunch of bastards who occupy the magpie's nest."

"Xiu, look, they seem to be wearing something around their necks."

"It's an iron collar," Xiu said. "They don't treat the people here as human beings at all, but as slaves, as cattle and horses for plowing the land."

Xiu looked at the man who was squeezed until he couldn't straighten his back at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly found a familiar figure.

Is that... Seth?

Seth held a shovel and rolled his trouser legs, and plowed barefoot in the field. Root was assigned to the same field as him. Seth dug the soil, and Gen was responsible for collecting the dug potatoes into baskets.

Seth planed a row of potatoes, and the pain and the coolie forced him to take a break.

Just as he stopped to catch his breath, he was suddenly hit hard on the back with a whip, so painful that he almost hit the bandit on the head with a shovel.

"What are you looking at! Who told you to stop! Hurry up and work!"

"Yes Yes......"

Seth suppressed the fire and smiled, and continued digging, but suddenly met the eyes of the two people who were hiding in the woods not far away. "

Prince waved slightly at Seth, but Tesai pretended not to see him, and made an 'ok' gesture with his hands hidden behind his back.

"You've never done farm work, have you?"

Gen didn't notice that there was someone hiding in the woods, so he leaned over to Seth, and while collecting potatoes, he reminded him in a low voice: "You don't hold the shovel like this, don't use force when digging the ground, no amount of strength is enough like you make."

Seth readjusted his posture, deliberately turned his back to the two, and said in a low voice, "Now I can feel the feeling when old man Luo's onions are trampled to pieces."

"Quiet!"

The whip fell, and in the field next to the two, a man passed out on the ground, the potatoes rolled down, and the whip hit the man's body.

The man's face was ashen, no matter how he whipped him, he didn't respond at all.

"Damn it, play dead!"

The bandit kicked the man, and the man rolled around on the ground, but there was still no response.

The bandit squatted down, slapped the man twice on the face, and then snorted coldly: "Fuck, it's really dead, useless."

The bandits clapped their hands unluckily, whistled, and several black shadows rushed up to the ridge of the field.

In the blink of an eye, the alien beast had already torn open the man's chest, dug out the internal organs, blood was everywhere, the bones were dense, the potatoes were trampled into residue by the alien beast, the sound of crazily biting and chewing was chilling, but everyone turned a blind eye , not even afraid, numbly buried in his work.

"Don't look," said Root, "we're all going to end up like this sooner or later."

"Damn it! I can't take it anymore!"

"return!"

Xiu Shisi pressed Prin and covered his mouth: "You go out now, and everyone else will die."

"But......"

Suddenly, a few hawks chirped over the valley.

The two hurriedly stopped, and looked up to see a flying monster flying into the woods, and it was stopping on the canopy beside them, combing the feathers on its wings with its sharp beak.

The two froze in place, not daring to move.

I don't know how long they waited, but the two of them felt that their hands and feet were numb, and the man's body was eaten clean. A whistle from the bottom of the mountain called out the strange beast, and the strange beast that stopped on top of them also flew out of the woods and landed on the ground of a bandit. on the arm.

"Did you see," Principe stretched his numbed legs with great effort, "those bandits can summon strange beasts? How did they do it?"

"Tame." Xiu said.

"is it possible?"

Plin looked at the alien beasts who bowed to the bandits in puzzlement: "The alien beasts regard humans as their enemies, how could they be tamed by humans, I have never heard of such a thing."

Xiu was silent for a moment, staring at the bandit who could summon strange beasts: "Do you know those two kinds of strange beasts?"

"I know you, the black-maned wolf and the black-crested falcon," said Prince. "They are very common beasts in this area. They are ferocious by nature and have excellent night vision."

Xiu thought for a while, then looked at the sky above the river valley: "Let's find a place to hide first, and then try to save them after dark."

Pullin agreed, and while the bandits were distracted, he threw a stone on Seth's ankle, gestured to him twice, and then retreated into the woods with Xiu.

"Come on, I know there's a better place."
