[Hermit Bigshots + Group Counterattack] Everyone on Black Bandit Mountain possesses extraordinary skills, yet they retreated from the Jianghu to raise children. Who knew that life after retirement ...
Chapter 196 Captives
He had a loud voice to begin with, and now the veins on his forehead and neck bulged as he shouted, and his voice echoed throughout the entire canyon.
Everyone in Heishan Township reacted immediately:
“Run!”
"Hurry, hurry up!"
Su Zhizhi and Xue Che took the Boy Scouts to meet up with the adults.
Summer is a rainy season, which is when landslides are most likely to occur.
The children in the village had seen landslides before and knew how terrible they were.
At this time, everyone gathered enough energy to run.
The villagers of Heishan, who were familiar with the mountain roads and terrain, could evacuate quickly, but Mi Po's huge army was stuck in the canyon.
They also realized that the mountain could collapse at any time.
"The mountain is about to collapse, hide quickly!" Mi Po's soldiers shouted.
A loud bang echoed from overhead, as if the entire mountain were howling. A huge crack appeared on the hillside, like a ferocious mouth, and it was constantly expanding.
The soil, rocks, trees, everything began to slide down, and the torrent of rain mixed with mud and sand swept everything down.
The last people in Mi Po's army withdrew from the canyon, while those in the middle section were unable to evacuate in time and were buried by the roaring mudslide.
In the blink of an eye, the soldiers in the canyon were swallowed up by the torrent without a trace.
Analo was at the front of the team and could not retreat, so he could only continue to rush forward.
When the landslide occurred in the rear, he and a few soldiers rushed out of the canyon area and entered Heishan Township.
The rain was pouring down.
A column of soldiers surrounded them.
The sharp tip of the spear pierced his neck and stopped only half an inch away.
The raindrops from the tip of the gun slid down and fell into Ana Luo's throat.
Ana Luo saw the deer-like woman again.
Wu Yingniang's voice came through the rain, with a hint of smile:
“God is helping us.”
…
The heavy rain fell from day to night.
The next morning, the sky finally cleared up.
The sky after the rainstorm was so clear that there was not a single cloud.
The entire Black Bandit Mountain was brightly lit.
The singing of birds and the chirping of cicadas returned to the treetops, as if the landslide had never happened yesterday.
However, the entrance to the canyon has been blocked by sliding mud and rocks, forming a small mound.
If you want to go out of Black Bandit Mountain or come in from the outside, you need to climb over the small mound.
It’s not a big deal for the villagers in Montenegro. It’s just a small slope and doesn’t take much effort.
But it undoubtedly formed a natural barrier for the troops from outside who wanted to attack.
However, Mi Po's army had already retreated far away.
Ana Luo was captured. Heishan Township took Ana Luo as a hostage and demanded that the Mi Po army withdraw southward from Xunzhou. This would at least buy Heishan Township some time to wait for the imperial army.
After Mi Po's army withdraws from Xunzhou, a small team can be sent to pick up Ana Luo.
Their group suffered heavy losses, and seeing Anaro being captured, their morale was somewhat low.
Una originally did not agree to send troops to attack Dayu, so he agreed to Heishan Township's request.
Lead the troops to withdraw from Xunzhou, and then bring a few people to pick up Ana Luo.
When Mi Po's army withdrew, they sent someone to make a harsh statement:
"After we withdraw from Xunzhou, if you don't release the people as agreed, or if anything happens to our Majesty, we will definitely kill everyone here!"
When they came to lash out at him, several villagers from Liangmin Village, who were guarding the hill, nodded calmly:
"Withdraw from Xunzhou within seven days, and come back to pick him up after ten days. As long as you keep your promise, your Majesty will remain a human being; otherwise, you will be left with a handful of ashes."
The Mi Po soldiers bared their teeth.
The good people are ferocious and evil.
The Mi Po soldiers left cursing.
The good people happily returned to the village to eat.
The aroma of cooking wafted out from the kitchen, a strong aroma of meat.
These days, everyone in the village has meat dishes for every meal, even breakfast is made with real meat.
There is no other way, the horse meat and elephant meat must be eaten quickly.
It cannot be stored in hot weather, so it is more cost-effective to eat it and let it grow into strength in the body.
The aroma of meat lingered throughout Liangmin Village and drifted to a small house on the top of the mountain.
Ana Luo was imprisoned in a woodshed on the top of the mountain.
Surrounded by the village's experts, it is considered the most difficult place to escape from in the entire Black Mountain Township.
Anaro woke up to the smell of food, and when he opened his eyes, his stomach was growling with hunger.
Bang.
As he stood up, there was a sound of chains clashing under his feet.
Ana Luo looked down and saw that his ankles were shackled, and the other end of the shackles were connected to the pillars in the house.
"Heh." Ana Luo laughed dryly.
These villagers really have everything, even shackles to tie people up.
The room was small, with two small windows, letting in enough summer light to illuminate the interior.
The small window was barred, cutting the light into sections.
There was some firewood scattered in the corner, but nothing else.
There is no feces or corpses, no cockroaches or ants, and no mold or moss.
Analo looked around and was surprised that he was treated so well after being captured.
When they were fighting during the civil war in Mipo, they captured the enemy generals and killed them all.
Even if they are not killed, they will be tortured, and putting them in a pigsty is considered merciful.
When Ana Luo was fifteen years old, he was captured by the enemy. The enemy whipped him until he was covered with wounds, and then threw him into a pack of wild dogs to watch him fight with them...
Ana Luo was glad that he was a forgetful person and was good at forgetting things.
Otherwise, he would probably struggle with nightmares every night.
Ana Luo stood up, but his legs felt weak and he almost fell down.
Fortunately, I grabbed the windowsill with both hands and managed to stand firmly.
Ana Luo looked out from the small window on the top of the mountain, and what came into view were vast green hillsides and flat fields.
There are many people on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain.
Some people were washing and hanging clothes, some were applying fertilizer in the fields, and some were carrying wood walking up the hillside.
Anaro found it difficult to connect the scene before him with the opponents he had fought before.
During the standoff in the canyon, the people of Heishan Township were clearly so cruel and ruthless, shouting for war and killing.
At this moment, all over the mountains and plains are kind villagers?
Analo turned around and looked at another window.
On the other side, he saw many children on the hillside.
Two or three old men were sitting on the hillside with many children.
Some children were attracted by butterflies, some were dozing off, and some were reading.
The old man walked over with a ruler and hit the sleepy child, and then everyone burst into laughter.
The sunlight was a bit dazzling, and Ana Luo suspected that he was dazzled.
read?
There are so many children studying here?
In Mipo, only children from aristocratic families can read and write, wear clothes that cover their bodies, and eat meals without impurities.
But here, there are so many children who can wear intact clothes and learn to read with books in their hands.
Lingnan is obviously a remote and backward place in Dayu, but even in such a place, people live so well.
His hands on the windowsill clenched, and Anaro swallowed.
Una taught him the language of Dayu and told him about Dayu's power and prosperity.
He used to not believe it and was disdainful of it, thinking that Dayu was just a country with a large population and a large territory occupied by its founding ancestors.
But now, he somewhat believed it.
Behind this prosperity, there seems to be an endless vitality and power.
There was a sound of unlocking the door from outside.
Crunch——
The wooden door was opened.
More light poured in.
Along with it comes the tempting aroma.
A woman with a round face but a slender figure came in with a wooden bowl and put the large bowl of rice on the ground in an unpleasant manner:
"Hey, it's time to eat. Behave yourself!"
Ana Luo saw two small figures following the woman.
A girl and a boy, both looked less than ten years old, and both were very good-looking.
The little girl imitated the adults, put her hands on her hips, glared at him, and said fiercely:
"Behave yourself and eat well!"
