Chapter 1695 Tiger King Village
The so-called words are divided into two ends, each expressing one branch.
While Yang Yiyi was playing Spanish bullfighting with Capibara, Zhou Yuxuan and the brothers from the Sixteenth Village were trudging forward in the valley full of heavy snow.
They had just visited the old site of Tiger King Village, and they did see a lot of signs of fighting. However, compared to the previous simple inspection, Zhou Yuxuan brought more people with him this time, and the group went in for a thorough inspection.
The Tiger King's Village has been emptied of people, but it is not that they were wiped out, but they left on their own.
Zhou Yuxuan and others found in the Tiger King Village that the gold and silver items had been packed away and taken away in a hurry. There were still some fallen gold and silver ingots left on the ground.
If only the gold and silver were gone, it might have been robbed, but the food in the warehouse was also packed away. Moreover, Zhou Yuxuan also found several new tombs nearby. Judging from the time of groundbreaking, it should not exceed a month.
It was probably that Huwang Village was attacked in some way. The people in Huwang Village killed the attackers, but they themselves were also seriously injured, so they buried the dead and took gold, silver, soft goods and food with them. The people in Huwang Village ran to other places. Place of refuge.
This made Zhou Yuxuan feel a little more relaxed. It at least meant that there must be people alive in Tiger King Village. The question was, where was the crowd.
Although Huwangzhai is a bandit who specializes in robbing people from the North, like many bandits, the Cunning Rabbit Three Cave is a standard operation.
They would move between different strongholds from time to time to avoid being blamed by others.
After all, with the way Tiger King Village operates, it’s not that strange for someone from the North to sneak across the border to seek revenge.
Zhou Yuxuan knew the three strongholds of the Tiger King Village. He had just seen one of them, and now he was heading towards the next hiding place to see if the people from the Tiger King Village were there.
Even though all the heroes in the Sixteenth Village are able to float on the water with Qinggong, in the wind and snow, even if Shi Qian comes, they have to walk honestly and cannot float at all.
Strong winds and blizzards will seriously interfere with sight. In order to move more concealedly in the mountains, no one lit torches. Everyone had to look out for each other to avoid suddenly getting separated while walking.
Fortunately, there was no snow here in Zhou Yuxuan's area, and the stars and moon could be vaguely seen in the sky. With these dim lights, it was enough for the thieves who had been operating in the dark for a long time.
Advancing through the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Zhou Yuxuan climbed over a hillside. At this time, Zhou Yuxuan saw that there seemed to be a flickering fire not far away.
This made everyone feel refreshed. After all, they had been walking in the snowy mountains for a long time, and seeing fire meant there was someone there.
But Zhou Yuxuan felt that it was better to be careful, as this matter was somewhat weird.
The relationship between Huwang Village and the government is actually good. It is different from the collusion between officials and bandits like the Haishi Gang. Although Huwang Village is also a bandit, because it only robs people from the North, the border army turns a blind eye to them. , is even considered a private anti-foreigner organization, and it only needs an official robbery permit.
Not to mention who attacked the Tiger King Village, since the people in the Tiger King Village have escaped, they should go to a town or something to settle down. It is more comfortable than living in the mountains.
However, the officials in the town knew nothing about the situation in Huwang Village.
Either the official lied, and the people from Huwang Village went to ask for help but were rejected. Or, there is something else hidden.
As for this hidden secret, Zhou Yuxuan felt that it had something to do with monsters.
Facing the fire not far away, Zhou Yuxuan made a gesture, and the heroes of the Sixteenth Village dispersed one after another, supporting each other and slowly approaching the direction of the fire.
The fire came from a huge cave at the bottom of the hillside. The cave was probably thirty or forty meters high from top to bottom. When you get close, you can even hear the slight sound of running water coming from inside. It is a place with running water. point.
The entrance of the cave is curled up under the hillside, which is covered with snow. This means that it will be discovered if you light a torch at night. If the sun shines during the day, you will not be able to find this location without anyone.
Zhou Yuxuan first looked outside the cave and saw that the entrance of the cave was blocked by a wall erected in advance with wood. There were also people standing on the towers on the wall holding torches to watch and watch everywhere.
The person on guard has a tiger head, or the word "王" embroidered on his back, which means he is a member of the Tiger King Village.
But the officials in the city had said before that there were monsters wearing the clothes of Tiger King Village. For a while, Zhou Yuxuan couldn't tell whether the person standing guard at the door was a human or a monster.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuxuan thought about it and decided to take the risk.
He led people into the cave and was discovered by the sentry after taking only a few steps.
"Who is it?" "Zhou Yuxuan of the Sixteenth Village, bring your brothers over to have a look."
"Who are you looking for!"
"There is a cloud in the sky, a handful of earth on the ground, there is no king in the mountain, and big insects are entrenched in it."
When the person on the other side heard about this cut, even Zhou Yuxuan could see the sentry brows beaming with joy.
"We are really brothers from the Sixteenth Village. Wait a minute, I will go and report it now."
Be it bandits or thieves, all religions and professions have their own slander.
Just like the famous lines about outsmarting Weihu Mountain, saying that the king of heaven overpowers the tigers of the earth, and that the pagoda suppresses the river monsters, these are all slang.
Outsiders don't understand it, but insiders understand it as soon as they hear it.
Especially among bandits, slang is used the most, mainly because they are afraid of officers and soldiers sneaking in and acting as internal agents.
The sentry just now asked Zhou Yuxuan who he was looking for. He said that a cloud in the sky refers to a horizontal line, and a handful of soil on the ground refers to the word "soil".
Added up, he is a king.
In the last sentence, there is no king in the mountains, but giant insects are entrenched in them.
The big insect is a tiger, corresponding to the word tiger.
It means that I came to see Wang Hu, and this Wang Hu happened to be the leader of the Tiger King Village.
Except for the people in the village, everyone who knows about this incision is all friends. No wonder the sentry knows that the person coming must be from the 16th village.
The reason why Tiger King Village is called this is because the owner of the village is called Wang Hu, and the tiger has the character "王" printed on its head.
——Don’t expect the bandits to have meaningful names.
Everyone waited outside the village gate for a while, and soon heard the noise of the door shaft turning. A middle-aged man with a heavy back and a bald head ran out wearing a bear skin without wearing any shoes.
"Oh! It's really Brother Zhou Xian. Brother Wang, I didn't expect you to come."
Zhou Yuxuan clasped his fists:
"Brother Wang seems to be fine, and my little brother is finally relieved."
Zhou Yuxuan has a good relationship with Wang Hu. The two of them call each other brothers, not just in a casual way. If it weren't for their inappropriate ages, they would have cut off the chicken's head and burned it on yellow paper.
Precisely because of their good relationship, Zhou Yuxuan did not waste any nonsense and asked directly:
"Brother Wang, you are staying well in your hometown. Why are you here? You can give me a good meal."
"Brother, you don't know something. The village has been in big trouble recently!"
Just as he was about to ask more questions, he heard a clear wolf howl coming from outside the cave.
Wang Hu's expression changed and he quickly dragged Zhou Yuxuan towards the village:
"This place is very unsafe. Dear brother, come in quickly, lest you be beaten by monsters later."
Monster knocking on the door?
It seems that Zhou Yuxuan guessed right. The secret of Tiger King Village is indeed related to monsters.
