In the evening of the next day, more than a hundred horse bandits came down from another mountain peak of the Bluestone Ridge. There were about twenty to thirty wild horses and several carriages. The leader of the horse bandits was bald and had a long scar on his face.
A few torches lit up the mountain road slightly. On the rugged mountain road, these horse bandits were discussing their next plan to sweep through the various large villages and towns. They would take advantage of the night to snatch the food piled up in the various large villages.
"Bah! Now that the Chief was listening to the dog-headed military counselor's bluff, he actually wanted to become a militia. F * ck, if we horse bandits don't snatch things, are we still horse bandits?？”
Bald Li Er also scoffed. He was even more unwilling to listen to this kind of statement. Now, the boss basically listened to that dog-headed military counselor. It had been a long time since his brothers had robbed the village. At most, they would collect some protection fees.。
"Second Head, the young master of the Zhao family is ready. The harvest of Xiaojie Village this year is the best among the nearby villages. Moreover, there are a few women in the village who look like water spirits. If Second Head likes them, he can snatch them!!”
...........................................................................................................
Li Er wasn't interested in food, but when he heard about women, his eyes lit up. The most hateful thing about the Chief was that he forbade them from messing around with women, especially women from good families. Damn it. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have been a horse bandit.
At 10:20 pm, Li Eryi and the other bandits dismounted from their horses and walked to the grain storage area. Even the torches were extinguished. They could only see the grain piles under the moonlight.
"Good heavens, that Zhao Wuliang was right. This bunch of bumpkins really made a fortune this year!!”
"Men, come with me and kill all those people who are watching the food. Don't leave a single one alive!!”
"Cut the weeds and remove the roots!"
"Find a few more brothers and prepare the black oil. Wait for my order to burn down this entire Xiaojie Village!!”
Li Er also revealed a fierce expression, but his eyes were also filled with malice. The chief was too stupid. It was so easy to clear his name as a horse bandit. Once he was a horse bandit, he would be a horse bandit for life. He still wanted to learn from Zhang Yuting. He was dreaming.。
Li Er was bold and meticulous. Even if the matter was exposed, they took advantage of the dark and windy night. Their faces were all masked. Who knew that it was their Bluestone Ridge who did it. In this world, ruthless people were needed to live long.
The Chief was getting dumber and dumber.
At the village entrance, Xu Guanglin's house. Last night, he had also looked for Captain Li. Captain Li had promised to strengthen the patrols in the next few nights. Moreover, each village would also send some young laborers to patrol to prevent the Zhao family from coming to snatch food.
"Big Brother Xu, are we really not going to hand in our rations this year?？”
" That's right. I heard that the Zhao family has connections with Bluestone Ridge. If that horse bandit comes, I'm afraid our entire village will…"
The villagers were also a little worried. After all, the Bluestone Ridge was notorious in Liaodong. Moreover, if the horse bandits really came, the poor people would be the most unlucky.
"Captain Li has already reported this matter to Yingkou. I think there will be a result soon. When the regular army of Yingkou comes, we won't be afraid even if it's the bandits of Bluestone Ridge.”
"I'm afraid that water from afar can't quench my thirst.。”
"Everyone, be careful. At least one person in every household should stay awake. Don't all sleep to death. If those bastards from the Zhao family come to steal food at night, we can unite at the first moment.”
Late at night, a few cries for help came from the fields where the grain was piled up. However, these few cries for help disappeared in an instant. The horse bandits led by the second head still killed them.
Xu Guanglin and the other burly men were also part of the village's patrol team. When they heard the cry for help, they immediately looked at each other and quickly rushed to the village entrance.
"Third Brother, quickly go and inform the villagers to not sleep. The elderly and children, those who can walk, leave quickly.”
Just as Xu Guanglin was speaking, there was a sky-high fire in the south. On the day of harvest, the wheat straw was more likely to catch fire. However, at this critical moment, and in the village, this fire made Xu Guanglin's heart sink to the bottom of the valley. Damn it, someone wanted to steal the grain and even burned down the entire village.
Lunatic!
Bastard!
Without food, they had nothing to eat.
Without a house, they didn't even have a place to live. These people wanted them dead, and the entire village to die.
Xu Guanglin and the others could not care less about anything else. They immediately returned to the village where their families were.
However, this fire was indeed man-made. Taking advantage of the warm summer wind, the fire became more and more violent…The raging flames could be seen within a radius of a few miles.
The flames soared into the sky and burned noisily.
Xu Guanglin also smelled the black oil, and his face turned pale.
At the same time, on the ridge of a village next to Xiaojie Village, Li Zhongbei, as the captain of the garrison team of the nearby villages, had about seventy to eighty people under him. They were also divided into different villages.
"Captain, the fire in the direction of Xiaojie Village.。”
Li Zhongbei immediately gathered his men and rushed to Xiaojie Village. He also sent people to Ying Kou City overnight. The fire was not a coincidence. The villagers nearby were all very careful. How could they let the fire burn to such an extent?
"Damn it, the Zhao family is courting death!!”
Li Zhongbei had seen the army at Yingkou. They were all armed with standard rifles. If it wasn't for the fact that their town was far from Yingkou, they would definitely have heard the sound of bullets being fired every day. Those were real bullets. Even if the Zhao family really hooked up with the Green Stone Ridge, they would only be dead.
"Second Leader, those bumpkins have discovered us.”
"Pick 20 brothers, get on your horses, and charge into Xiaojie Village. Those who should be robbed, those who should be killed, and the rest of you, load the food into the truck and take it away!!”
Li Er was fierce. Since he had robbed the food, he should at least rob some women and leave…
These bandits finally revealed their murderous nature. On the wild horses, the bandits brandished their sabers and trampled and slaughtered wantonly. How could these ordinary people resist?。
Xu Guanglin was leading a few strong men in the village. They were also injured, but fortunately, they were prepared. The elderly and children ran fast and did not suffer any losses.
Perhaps it was because Xu Guanglin and the other men resisted, but none of the women in the village were captured. This matter also made the second-in-charge of the Green Stone Ridge extremely angry.
The losses this time were already very, very small.。
However, there were still a few old men who had been looking after the grain at the beginning who died. Gradually, there were cries in the village. Some people's houses were also on the verge of collapse from the fire.。
They didn't understand why they had to suffer such a crime every day. It was because of the good harvest this year, because of the damned Zhao family, and because of the damned horse bandits of Green Stone Ridge.
"Big Brother Xu, go to Ying Kou. I heard that the new young Battalion Commander is extremely fair. We must find him to uphold justice. The town mayor is colluding with these horse bandits and the Zhao family. Only by killing all of them can we have a peaceful life.”
