Chapter 17 Mountain Village
Early the next day.

The people arranged by Lu Tao waited outside early.

As soon as Wang Teng opened the door, he saw two rows of big men standing at the door.

Each of these people is tall and burly, with strong muscles, standing there like an iron tower.

Seeing Wang Teng appear, two rows of people bowed down to salute.

"Meet Deacon Wang!"

The sound is so loud that it can be heard hundreds of meters away.

Some people were woken up while they were still asleep, opened the doors and windows and were about to insult them.

But when they saw rows of tall and strong men, how dare these people talk nonsense, they swallowed the words as they reached their throats, and then shrank their heads back like a turtle, closing the doors and windows tightly.

Standing at the door, Wang Teng looked at the group of men in blue gang uniforms waiting for him energetically. He couldn't help but feel as if he had suddenly become a gangster in a TV series.

"Who are you leading?"

Immediately, a bald man with a thick waist and round shoulders stood up and replied: "If you go back to Deacon Wang, you can use it in Wu. It is the leader of this group of people. You can call me Xiao Wu."

Wang Teng's face twitched involuntarily.

He is only 16 years old, and even in his previous life he was only in his twenties. Calling a 40-year-old man Xiao Wu sounds awkward no matter how he sounds.

"The young one is just a big bastard, you can call him whatever you want." The bald man touched his head, and then asked: "Deacon, the carriage is ready, when shall we set off?"

"You guys came here early in the morning, you haven't eaten yet, you're talking after breakfast, Mingzhu Restaurant, I'm treating you."

"Okay, thank you Deacon!"

A group of big men happily headed towards the Pearl Restaurant.

Although they are all disciples of the gang, and Pearl Restaurant is also owned by the gang, not everyone can afford it. Even the leader Wu Yong only goes there two or three times a month.

Wang Teng looked at the excitement of this group of people, probably because he didn't know what task he had taken.

Going to the mountain village to investigate the strangeness is extremely dangerous.

With so many of them going together, it is even possible that only he can come back alive in the end.

But it can't be blamed on Lu Tao for concealing the truth, as long as he is an ordinary person, there is no one who is not afraid of weirdness.

If Lu Tao hadn't given him a bottle of spiritual blood so that he had the means to deal with ghosts, Wang Teng himself would not have dared to go to the mountain village to investigate the strangeness, it would be a joke with his own life.

And if the strangeness shown in the spirit card reaches the evil level, he will definitely turn around and leave without saying a word.

Inviting this group of big men to have a big meal at Mingzhu Restaurant, this is likely to be the most sumptuous meal in their lives.

An hour later, Wang Teng sat in the carriage and drove out of Wujiang City slowly under the guard of two rows of men.

From Wujiang City to Heifeng Mountain, even riding a fast horse would take half a day.

If you take a carriage, the time will be doubled.

When they arrived at the small mountain village, it was already dusk, and only the afterglow of the sun remained in the sky.

"Deacon, we are almost at Heishan Village!"

Wang Teng, who was resting in the carriage, opened his eyes and turned to look out the window.

The first thing that catches the eye is a stretch of mountains in the distance, that is the Heifeng Mountains.

Wujiang City can go to other cities by water, but there are also some cities without water, and the caravan needs to go by land, which cannot bypass the Heifeng Mountains, so there are many bandits wandering in it, who specialize in robbing caravans to make a living.

However, caravans have been robbed many times, and they lose money every time, so few people do business by land.

Without the caravan, the bandits in the Heifeng Mountains lost their source of income. They could only rob the towns and villages in Wujiang City. They often burned, killed and looted, making them notorious.

In the end, Heifengzhai stretched out his hand to the waterway, and was designed by Lu Tao to arrest Wei Gang, the leader of the third village.

What followed was a series of things that Wang Teng knew.

Heifengzhai took advantage of Lu Tao's trip to Fucheng, sneaked into the city and slaughtered his whole family.

Then Lu Tao came back and gathered troops from various forces in Wujiang City to wipe out Heifengzhai in one fell swoop.

Not far from the Black Wind Mountain Range, there is a village.

The village looks very large. At first glance, there are hundreds of stone houses built on the spacious land.

Between these stone houses, there are rows of rice fields, and many people can be seen working hard in the fields.

However, these people who worked in the fields seemed to be elderly people, and no young adults were seen.

After a while, the convoy arrived at Heishan Village.

The villagers of Heishan Village saw the convoy of Wang Teng and others from a distance, thinking that the gangsters from Heifeng Mountain were coming, and they all left their working furniture and ran back to the village with the doors closed.

When Wang Teng and others came to the entrance of the village, they saw a white-haired old man leaning on crutches. When he saw the convoy approaching, he immediately showed nervousness and said tremblingly: "Heroes... heroes, our village has already arrived. We don’t have any belongings, and the master on Heifeng Mountain took away all the food we had in the past few days, and there is nothing valuable in the village except us, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.”

Wang Teng got down from the carriage and hurried forward and said, "Old man, you misunderstood us. We are not bandits, but people from Wujiang City. We lost our way because of going out, so we want to borrow a night in Guicun.

These guards of mine look ferocious, but they are actually kind-hearted. They can't bear to hurt even a little rabbit. If you don't believe me, let them laugh at you. "

Hearing this, Wu Yong and the others suddenly showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and grinned, looking more like a villain.

"Ah...it turns out...it's a distinguished guest from the city. The little old man is the village head of Heishan Village. Please forgive me if I'm neglectful."

The village chief of Heishan Village bowed submissively and said.

"You don't need to be too polite, old man." Wang Teng said softly, "You see, it's getting late and it's close to Heifeng Mountain. I'm afraid I might encounter bandits on Heifeng Mountain when I drive at night, so I want to spend the night in Guicun.

Rest assured, the elderly, we will not live in vain. "

Knowing that Wang Teng and the others were not bandits, the village chief rarely showed a smile on his face, "Heishan Village has not had any guests for a long time, and it is our honor for all distinguished guests to come to the small village. The big master on the wind has snatched it away, and the houses in the small village are shabby, I’m afraid you won’t be used to living there.”

Wang Teng said with a smile: "It's okay, there are so many things to pay attention to when you are away from home. It is better to have a place to live than to sleep in the wild. You are right, village chief!"

"Dear distinguished guests, if you don't mind, the old man will bring you into the village."

Wang Teng and others followed the village head into the village.

The village was deserted and dead. Many houses had their doors and windows open, and some wooden doors swayed in the wind, making creaking noises.

These houses are covered with cobwebs one by one, the windows are gray, and the pillars of the houses are also covered with scratches. They look quite dilapidated, and it looks like no one has lived in them for a long time.

Even if there are people in some houses, they are all young and old people like the old village head, or women and children are sick and disabled, and even some young and middle-aged people have limited mobility, either missing arms or legs.

As he walked, the village chief explained to everyone: "You have also seen the situation in this village. Because of the proximity to Heifeng Mountain, the village is often looted. The young and middle-aged people in the village either resisted the bandits and were killed, or they couldn't bear the oppression. Xiruan has left the village, and only us old, weak, sick and disabled are left."

Walking into the village and seeing the scene in the village, the expressions of these strong men from the Jianghe gang also became unnatural.

This place is really too desolate.

However, after hearing the village chief's explanation, they could also understand that ordinary people really had no power to resist the bandits in Heifengzhai.

Either be exploited or flee.

So these people didn't think about other aspects. The task they received was to find out whether Heishan Village belonged to the stronghold of Heifengzhai, and whether there were any bandits hiding in Heifengzhai. They didn't mention the strangeness.

From the looks of it, it was impossible for the Heifengzhai bandits to hide in this dilapidated village, and their mission would be completed soon.

Not long after, the village chief took them to a manor.

"This manor is the residence of Li Yuanwai, the richest man in our village. However, Li Yuanwai's family couldn't stand the bandits coming down from Heifeng Mountain to loot one after another, so they moved out early. Such a big manor has been empty for a while. You are here for the time being. Rest for the night."

"Thank you old man."

Wang Teng asked people to send property and dry food.

The village chief thanked you repeatedly, and before leaving, he warned: "By the way, if you hear any strange noises at night, don't open the door."
