Chapter Twenty-Four-The Village of Butchers
The three of them came down the mountain, led their horses, and found a random family to stay for the night. The next morning, they set off for Jiaxing.
Li Liuyan remembered Manager Zheng's request and told Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang that she had promised Manager Zheng to bring the corpse back to Jiaxing. The three of them then set off towards Uneven Mountain.
Li Liuyan secretly asked Cheng Ying,"When are you going to tell Wushuang? It's impossible to hide this from her."]
Cheng Ying said,"You don't have to worry about that. I'll find a chance to tell my cousin."]
After walking for a few days, they arrived at the small village next to Shopkeeper Zheng's grave. However, the village was unusually quiet. They found the villager who had helped them at that time, but he was sitting at the door with a frown. Brother Wang, what's wrong with you?] Li Liu Yan remembered that this village was called Little Wang Village. Most of the people there had the surname Wang. This person in front of her was the one who led the group when they were looking for someone to bury Shopkeeper Zheng.
Brother Wang seemed to have forgotten who he was. He ignored Li Liu Yan and looked dazed. Li Liuyan said,[Brother Wang, don't you remember me? I came here a few months ago and asked for your help.]]
Brother Wang was still sitting there in a daze. A woman came out of the house. She was in her forties or fifties, and her eyes were also red. Cheng Ying walked up and said,"Sister-in-law, I wonder what happened in the village?"]
When the woman heard this, tears immediately flowed down her face. She said,[My son was killed by bandits, and my daughter and daughter-in-law were also taken away by bandits. My son ~]
Li Liuyan said,[Mountain bandits? Are they from the Uneven Mountain?]]
Cheng Ying waved her hand at Li Liuyan, not allowing her to speak. She said gently to the woman,"Sister-in-law, what exactly happened? Tell us and we will definitely help you.]
Perhaps it was because she saw Cheng Ying's friendly face, the woman whimpered and told her what had happened. It turned out that a few days ago, a group of mountain bandits had come to the village and wanted to capture all the beautiful women and bring them to the stronghold. Her son was indignant and went up to tear them apart. He was immediately killed by the mountain bandits. More than a dozen people in the village had been killed by the bandits, and many of their wives and daughters had been kidnapped. The village chief had already gone to the county town to report the incident, but it was probably useless. These bandits were bold and reckless. It was said that they had even gone to the county town to rob.
Li Liuyan and Lu Wushuang gritted their teeth. Lu Wushuang said,"[These bandits are too despicable. Liu Yan, let's go!]] With that, he rushed out of the courtyard and mounted his horse. Li Liuyan followed closely behind.
Cheng Ying saw the two of them acting rashly and hurriedly chased after them, shouting,"[Liu Yan, cousin.]
Cheng Ying chased them to the top of the mountain and stopped them. She scolded,[You don't know how many bandits there are and how good their martial arts are. What can you do if you go there rashly?]
The two of them were filled with righteous indignation just now, but they only calmed down after hearing Cheng Ying's words. Cheng Ying advised the two to be patient for the time being and wait until it was dark before making a move.
As the sky darkened, the three of them quietly arrived outside the village. They saw that the village gate was closed and there were two people standing guard at the door. Cheng Ying said,"It's better to sneak over the wall from another place. It won't be too late to act after we catch the lone bandit and ask about the situation."] The two nodded in agreement. When they were far away from the gate, Cheng Ying was afraid that the two of them would cause trouble, so she went in first and only let the two of them in when she saw that there was no danger.
The three of them quietly searched and came to the outside of the stable. They heard someone cursing inside,[How f * cking unlucky. Everyone is drinking and eating in the hall, but we have to take care of these animals here.]
Another voice said,"It's all your fault. You said that you were lucky and wanted you to go up. Look at what you got."]
Li Liuyan walked through the cracks of the wooden planks and looked inside. There were only two bandits inside, each holding a jar of wine. Looking at the scene, they were both guilty. Li Liuyan whispered to Cheng Ying,"You take the left and I'll take the right. One, two, three, push the door open and enter. Attack at the same time."]
[One, two.] In a flash, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang had already broken through the door. At the same time, they pointed their fingers and the two bandits fell to the ground.
[Three.]
Lu Wushuang scolded,"Three what three, come in quickly and close the door."]
Li Liuyan's pride had suffered a huge blow. When she was killing the Tartars in Xiangyang, she had killed them with every move. When she was playing with Cheng Ying, she could even grab his little hand. She had thought that her martial arts skills were not bad. Now, it seemed that Cheng Ying had deliberately let her win. The gap was still very far. She quickly flashed in.
Cheng Ying undid one of their acupuncture points and placed the sword on his neck." Be honest, answer whatever I ask you!]
As the saying goes, drinking boosts one's courage. This bandit was already a little drunk and did not realize that he was already a prisoner. He shouted, Who are you? How dare you break into the village?]
Li Liuyan slapped him and said,[Do you think this is the county government? You're a soldier. You don't have any awareness of being a bandit. You're still so arrogant after being arrested.]]
The bandit was slapped and said angrily,"Who do you think you are?" You dare to hit me?]
Li Liuyan was speechless. She grabbed the bandit's face, and the bandit fell to the ground with an 'ah' sound. There were five deep bloody holes on his face. Not only do I dare to hit you, I can even kill you.]
Lu Wushuang said,"Why did you kill him? I haven't gotten anything out of him yet."]
Li Liuyan picked up the one on the ground and said," Isn't there another one? Release his acupuncture points.]
Although the bandit's acupuncture points had been sealed, he had seen and heard everything that had happened. Seeing the hole in his companion's face, he was half sober. Once his acupoints were released, he fell to his knees and said,"[Hero, please spare my life. I'll answer whatever you ask. I'm 80 years old…]
Li Liuyan slapped him back and said,"[Have you mountain bandits been trained? Why do you always say this?] China's 5,000 years of civilization, why is it that the lines of the mountain bandits have never changed?]
[Yes, yes. [Great hero is right.] The bandit only kowtowed.
Get up. Let me ask you, how many people are there in this village?]
[Yes, yes.] That person hurriedly stood up.]
Li Liuyan pressed her palm on the bandit's face and said, Don't give me a rough estimate. I want to know exactly how much.]
The bandit saw with his own eyes that it was these hands that had made a hole in his companion's face. He was so scared that his legs went weak. Let me think, it's... it's ninety-two people. No, no, ninety-one people in total.]
Li Liuyan wiped the blood on her hands onto the bandit's face and said, Is it 92 or 91?]
The bandit cried,"It was originally ninety-two, but just now, the hero killed…killed one, leaving ninety-one."]
Li Liuyan said,"Maybe there will be ninety left soon."]
The bandit knelt down again and said,"Hero, don't kill me. I'll tell you everything I know."]
Then, he recounted the history of the mountain bandits. It was said that ten years ago, a man surnamed Sun came here and subdued the surrounding raiders. He seemed to ignore the imperial court and set up a stronghold on Mount Buping, changing his name to Sun Buping. Although he was a bandit, he was very chivalrous and did not offend the surrounding people. As long as the tourists paid a little silver, they could pass through without any trouble. Two years ago, a man called Qian Buduan led more than ten brothers here and asked Sun Buping to submit to him. The two of them didn't get along and fought. Within a hundred moves, Qian Buduan used the Five Tigers Broken Door Blade to cut off Sun Buping's head. He would kill all those who were unconvinced and take over the mountain as king.
Li Liuyan said,[It is true that absolute power corrupts people. Qian Buduan has only been here for two years, and a relatively righteous village has become a bandit.]]
The man said,"The hero is right. This money has been doing bad things for a long time. I've long wanted to kill him to get rid of the evil for the people."]
Li Liuyan looked at him and said,"So you're still a good person? Then let me ask you, have you ever had the blood of an innocent person on your hands?"]
The mountain bandit quickly replied,"No, no, I'm just feeding the horses in the manor. I don't usually leave the mountain gate."]
Li Liuyan spat out two words,"Hypocrite."] The claw landed on the bandit's head.
Lu Wushuang said,"Why did you kill him?"]
Li Liuyan said,[Although I didn't see what the two bandits who chased after me and Manager Zheng looked like, I saw the birthmark on one of them clearly.]]
The three of them groped their way to the outside of the hall. They heard a loud commotion inside and the sound of women crying.
Li Liuyan peeked inside and saw dozens of people lying around. Half of them were drunk. There were five or six women in the middle of the hall. They were naked and sitting around crying.
Li Liuyan barged in through the main door. One of the mountain bandits near the door saw a person enter, but he didn't recognize him. He staggered up and blocked in front of him.[Who are you?]
Li Liuyan grabbed his head and another person died under the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. Ever since Li Liuyan read the book Condor Shooting, she thought that the Nine Yin White Bone Claw was a sinister martial art. When he practiced it, he would feel a sinister wind. Guo Jing had once warned him that the Nine Yin Divine Claw was open and aboveboard, and not to practice it with a ghost aura. However, after killing hundreds of Tartars with this skill on the battlefield of Xiangyang, every time he used this skill to kill people, he felt a bloodthirsty pleasure. His moves became more and more strange and sinister.
Li Liuyan said coldly,"Wu Chang is here to claim his life."] Xiang Qian kept flying over.
Qian Buduan saw that Li Liu Yan was close to him, so he picked up the wine jar and threw it at her. Li Liu Yan ducked to dodge, and Qian Buduan took the opportunity to pick up the Five Tigers Gate Breaking Blade. He used Tiger Comes Out of the Deep Mountains and slashed at Li Liu Yan's face. Li Liuyan had never practiced any weapon moves, so she only used the Nine Yin White Bone Claw to kill people. Therefore, she did not carry any weapons on her, so she only needed to dodge left and right.
Qian Buduan didn't give Li Liuyan a chance to catch her breath. He used Tiger Roar in the Forest and Tiger's Might, pressing forward with every move. The Mongol soldiers that he met in Xiangyang were not martial artists. He dealt with one of them in just a few moves.?It was a joke to fight with Cheng Ying, but Cheng Ying deliberately let him win. Hence, this battle could be considered Li Liuyan's maiden battle.
Although the Nine Yin Scripture that Li Liuyan practiced was a peerless martial art, her time was still too short and she had no actual combat experience. Under the constant brandishing of the Five Tigers Gate Breaking Blade, she couldn't get close to him at all. No matter how powerful the Nine Yin White Bone Claw was, it was useless. After ten moves, Li Liuyan was already flustered.
Qian Buduan took the opportunity to use Fox Borrowing Tiger's Might to attack Li Liu Yan's left flank. Li Liu Yan dodged to the right. Unfortunately, this was a trick to lure the enemy. Li Liu Yan dodged to the right and met Qian Buduan's kick. Li Liuyan was thrown ten feet away. Qian Buliang didn't let her go. He flew up and slashed down. At the critical moment, Cheng Ying used her sword to block Qian Buliang's fatal blow.
Seeing that Li Liuyan was fine, Cheng Ying used the Jade Flute Sword Technique to attack Qian Buduan.，The Jade Flute Sword Technique was the precise martial arts of Peach Blossom Island. It could not be compared to the Five Tigers Breaking the Door Bladesmanship. After being attacked by Cheng Ying's sword technique, Qian Buduan was unable to fight back and could only raise his sword to defend. He repeated what he did to Li Liuyan.
Li Liuyan spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed. Seeing that Cheng Ying was unable to fight back, it seemed that she would be able to capture him in a few moves. She turned to look at Lu Wushuang and saw that with every move she made, a bandit would fall to the ground. There were not many bandits left in the house who could fight. [This is the difference.] Li Liuyan thought to herself.
With a scream, Qian Buduan's right arm was cut off and fell to the floor. The broadsword that his broken hand was still holding tightly fell to the ground with a bang. Cheng Ying took a step forward and pressed his acupuncture points. Qian Buduan also fell down.
Cheng Ying walked up to Li Liuyan and asked with concern,[Are you alright?]
Li Liuyan shook her head and said,"How should we deal with him?" Kill him or send him to the government?]
Before Cheng Ying could answer, a woman walked out from the group of naked women who were huddled together. She picked up the knife on the ground and chopped off Qian Buduan's head. When the other women saw this, they also picked up their weapons and slashed at Qian Buduan's body.
How much damage do you have to do to them to make them like this?] Li Liuyan sighed and said to Cheng Ying,"" You console them and find some clothes for them to wear. I'll go outside and see if there are any fish that have escaped.]
