The big man's name was Wang Tie. He was an honest farmer in Qingyang County, but because of his ferocious appearance, he was often mistaken for a bad guy.
His parents died early, and he lived with his uncle and aunt since he was a child. His aunt thought he was wasting food by eating too much, so she beat and scolded him since he was a child. When he was twelve years old, Wang Tie could no longer bear such a life and escaped at night.
He was very strong and after escaping, he settled down in the mountains and made a living by hunting.
One day he took his prey to the city to exchange for food, but as soon as he entered the city he was slandered for stealing. People around him saw that he looked ferocious and pointed at him. Soon someone reported him to the police. When the group of yamen soldiers arrived, they saw his appearance and without asking any questions, they directly determined that he was the culprit.
Wang Tie naturally would not plead guilty. Seeing that he was still quibbling, the yamen soldiers clashed with each other. A group of people surrounded him and beat him up. He fought back and was hit in the right eye in the chaos. He could no longer see with his right eye.
By the time he was thrown out of the yamen, he was half dead.
God is so unfair.
Wang Tie was lying on the ground with wounds all over his body, thinking to himself: Since you all think I am a bad guy, I might as well fulfill your wish.
He chose to become a bandit and immediately took refuge in a bandit's nest, becoming a bandit in Qingyang. Later, an epidemic broke out and the original leader died. He took advantage of the situation and took power by force.
Natural disasters came one after another, monsters became stronger, and the group was trapped in the snow and had a hard time surviving. Fortunately, Wang Tie was good at hunting, and the resources on the mountain were rich and unpolluted, so he led his men through the cold winter.
Without food, they would die, and in the entire Qinghe County, only the food in the granary could keep them alive.
Wang Tie certainly knew that robbing a granary was a serious crime and that if discovered by the imperial court, the entire clan would be exterminated. However, everyone had been forced into a desperate situation and would die without food. He thought of going to the granary first to see if he could get some food.
I finally got through the cold winter.
Wang Tie brought his men to the vicinity of the granary. He hesitated for many days, struggling over whether to speak directly. Who would have thought that he would meet Qingyang yamen soldiers here? Past grudges came to his mind, and he immediately lost his mind. The two groups started fighting at the door of the granary.
Three yamen soldiers died in the conflict, and two of them died on their side.
If Gao Yi's group had not arrived, the two sides would probably have fought to the death.
Wang Tie was filled with hatred. He would rather not have the grain than not avenge what happened last year. He would never let anyone get their wish and break into the warehouse.
The captain had not expected this man to be so difficult to deal with, and immediately said coldly: "Sir, please do not refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. You know that getting the food is the most important thing right now."
When Wang Tie heard this, he felt his anger rising up and cursed, "Screw your uncle's business. For me, killing you is the real business."
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight again, the bandits in Gaoyi County shrank their necks and quickly took two steps back to make enough space for them.
Just as both sides were about to fight, the dead body on the ground suddenly moved!
The appearance of the corpse changed instantly, veins bulged, eye sockets sunken, and the eyes suddenly opened, with terrifying whites in them.
Those who were close by were still focused on the tense and explosive situation between the two sides.
They never thought that as they killed monsters all the way here, everyone's weapons were stained with monsters' blood. Those dead people were stained with monsters' blood, and mutation was only a matter of time.
The followers standing on the city wall were the first to discover the situation. Everything happened in a flash. Five monsters jumped up in an instant and bit the person closest to them.
There were sharp screams from the crowd.
The group of refugees from Gaoyi were so scared that they screamed and turned to run away. Tian San was tied up with ropes and fell to the ground. He could only watch as the monster chewed human flesh a few steps away from him.
Oh shit!
Someone come and untie the rope.
When Wei Xiyin brought people over, she was completely confused. Those people were surrounding the door but not breaking it down. What were they doing with all the noise?
From her perspective, she could only see the people jumping up and down outside, and did not notice the tragic situation in the crowd.
No normal person would have thought that zombies would appear among the crowd at the cleaned doorway.
"What are they doing?" Wei Xiyin couldn't help but asked.
Chang Ying was silent for a moment, then replied, "Maybe they're holding some kind of ceremony to celebrate the warehouse opening?"
Wei Xiyin: “…”
Are you celebrating before you even get the food?
Soon she realized something was wrong. The people outside seemed to be running for their lives, getting farther and farther away.
Gradually, the crowd in the middle dispersed, and several zombies appeared in her sight.
Wei Xiyin had no expression on her face. She turned to look at Chang Ying, "Are you celebrating with your life?"
Chang Ying twitched his lips.
Wei Xiyin narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the crowd not far away.
Those people were dressed differently and stood separately, not looking like a group. Could it be that they were quarreling at the door because of "uneven distribution of spoils"?
The situation was unclear at the moment. She thought for a moment and said to Zhang Yuanyan, "The Yizhou Army is an orthodox army after all. Sir Zhang, please wait here with your subordinates while I go over and figure out the situation first."
She was too envious of those people. Zhang Yuanyan was appointed by the court to guard the granary and was officially the "owner" of the granary. What if he went over and scared away those mobs?
Zhang Yuanyan's eyes were complicated. He didn't know what the girl was up to, so he could only agree, "Listen to the girl."
The area around the granary is on a plain, and the nearby grass for shelter has not grown back since winter.
With more than 200 soldiers in strong armor and a hundred wooden oxen and flowing horses, the scene was so grand that before anyone got close, the followers on the city wall were the first to spot them.
The familiar masks, familiar armor and weapons, as well as the hundred wooden oxen and flowing horses behind him, immediately changed the expressions of the followers.
There are already three groups of people below, why are these bandits joining in the fun!
With so many people, they definitely couldn't defend this place. One of them immediately ran down the city wall, intending to wait for the warehouse door to be broken open and then protect the princess and rush out.
The speed of zombies nowadays is almost the same as that of ordinary people. They have a great advantage in the crowd. Their jumps are amazing. Several people were knocked to the ground in the blink of an eye. The sudden change made everyone panic, especially with the screams of those people. The whole scene was very creepy.
By the time Wang Tie and the others had dealt with these mutated monsters, Wei Xiyin had already led his troops to the door of the granary.
Only then did everyone discover these uninvited guests.
More than 200 soldiers were uniformly armored and well-equipped. Their movements were in unison, creating a strong sense of oppression. The troops from several groups immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they dispersed with vigilant eyes.
The noisy Gaoyi refugees came running back. When they saw the 'old acquaintance', someone patted his head and said, "The Crow Mountain Dragon and Tiger Village is here again."
Dragon and Tiger Village in Crow Mountain?
What the hell?
Wei Xiyin said calmly, "It's really lively here."
The captain and his soldiers looked at each other. Of course, everyone knew about Crow Mountain, but they had never heard of any bandit den on the mountain. Where did this group of people come from?
