Chapter 1 We Are Good Citizens
“Gee! Gee!”
The long black whip used to drive the horses cast a shadow in the air, tearing through the dullness of the evening.
“Mmm…mm…”
Inside the carriage, several children had their limbs tied up and their mouths stuffed with cloth strips.
Blood marks were rubbed on the white and tender wrists, and tears rolled down from the eyelashes.
Outside the carriage curtain, Wu Laosan, who was as thin as a monkey, was driving a horse-drawn carriage on the mountain path, raising clouds of dust.
When turning the corner, I suddenly saw a half-grown sheep running out of the forest on the side, followed by a small figure.
He was unable to dodge and was rushed forward with his car.
“Mee——”
The lamb screamed and was kicked over, and Wu Laosan almost fell off the car.
He cursed and spat on the ground:
"Fuck, this is evil!"
A clear, childish voice rang out:
"You didn't hit an evil spirit, you hit my sheep."
Wu Laosan opened his eyes and saw a five or six-year-old girl standing in the middle of the road, protecting a sheep that was screaming on the ground.
The girl's clothes were half-worn, and leaves were still stuck in her two round buns. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her makeup was beautiful.
A pair of eyes as clear as the snow in the mountains and as bright as the stars.
A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Wu Laosan's eyes.
He had tied up a few rich kids in his car, all of them had fair skin and almond-shaped eyes, and were already very beautiful.
But this little girl who suddenly appeared in the wilderness was actually prettier than those children.
Wu Laosan rubbed his palms together and asked, "Where are you from? Where are your parents?"
"This mountain is my home, outsiders are forbidden to enter. You broke into my home and hit my sheep, you have to pay compensation."
Su Zhizhi spoke loudly and confidently.
Wu Laosan's eyes quickly swept across the mountains and forests on both sides, and a hint of calculation flashed in his eyes.
Most likely he is the child of a hunter in the mountains.
Now that it was delivered to him, there was no reason to let it go.
This girl has tender skin and beautiful features, she will definitely fetch a good price. Some wealthy families like to buy this kind of girl...
"It's just a sheep. Come with me and I'll go home and give you the money." Wu Laosan smiled and waved at Su Zhizhi.
He reached into his sleeve with his dark hand and pulled out a piece of dirty rice candy.
"Here, let me give you a piece of candy first."
Su Zhizhi shook her head, clearly not liking the rice candy: "You're lying."
Wu Laosan was stunned and his smile faded.
Su Zhizhi pointed at the carriage with her little hand, as if she saw through everything:
"You have no money. Your clothes and carriage are old, and even your water bag is patched. You don't speak with a local accent. You are a kidnapper who sells people's children. There is medicine in your rice candy."
Just now, the wind blew up a corner of the car curtain, and Su Zhizhi saw a figure tied up at the back.
"Leave the carriage and everyone inside, and hand over all the money you have!" The little man spoke in a loud voice.
Wu Laosan's hand holding the rice candy froze. He didn't expect that this little girl could actually say such things.
Hearing the last sentence, he laughed sinisterly, and the scar on his head became like a knife:
"Little girl! You can only blame your bad luck for meeting me."
Wu Laosan pounced towards Su Zhizhi, his ferocious look revealed.
Su Zhizhi dodged to the side nimbly, pulled out a snake-skin whip from her waist with her right hand, and swung it towards Wu Laosan's forehead.
Snap! Wu Laosan was hit by the whip head-on, and a bloody gash appeared on his forehead.
Besides being furious, he was also surprised at the strength the girl used. The force of the whip was no less than that of an adult.
After giving the whip, Su Zhizhi rushed back to the woods by the roadside.
At the same time, bird sounds came out of her mouth, sometimes short and sometimes long, with a regular rhythm.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp—chirp, chirp—”
After Su Zhizhi made the bird call, the forest, which had been quiet a moment ago, was filled with bird calls one after another.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp—”
“Chirp, chirp, chirp—”
Same length, same rhythm.
It quickly spread across the entire mountain.
There is no wind in the mountains, but the grass and trees are rustling.
Overhead, a giant eagle circled.
Wu Laosan suddenly felt a chill spreading from his back to his neck.
His hair stood on end. He wiped the blood off his face with his sleeve and tried to drive away in his carriage.
But it was too late.
call out--
A plum blossom dart came flying through the wind, and the horse was frightened and ran away.
Wu Laosan, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly fell forward. When he tried to get up again with dizziness and dazed eyes, he saw more than ten people rushing down from both sides of the forest.
"Who bullied us Zhizhi?"
"What blind dog dares to touch the Tai Sui's head?"
"Catch them, skin them, debone them, chop them up and feed them to the dogs!"
“…”
The people who rushed down were both men and women, some holding swords and some carrying knives, and they surrounded Wu Laosan aggressively.
Wu Laosan's face turned pale and his body was shaking like a sieve.
No matter how stupid you are, you will understand that you have disturbed a bandit's den.
Wu Laosan knelt down and begged for mercy: "My dear friends, I am blind and short-sighted. I beg you to show mercy and let me go. I can negotiate the price."
"No, no! I can't let go." Su Zhizhi stuffed her small whip into the crowd and squeezed into the group.
Su Zhizhi: "There's someone else in his car!"
When Wu Laosan looked up again, a snow blade was already pressing against his neck.
The man holding the knife was a middle-aged man, holding the knife in his left hand and his right sleeve was empty.
The blade in his hand swung a few times, cutting the tendons of Wu Laosan's hands and feet:
"Take him up the mountain and wait for the village chief to come back to discuss how to deal with him."
Wu Laosan rolled on the ground in pain:
"You...you know who I work for, you can't afford to offend—well—"
Before he could even roll around, he was neatly tied up like a dumpling and a cloth strip was stuffed into his mouth.
The people who kidnapped him also searched his body and took away any hidden weapons, money, and medicine.
Su Zhizhi shook her head, walked to Wu Laosan, and said to him with a sigh:
"You can only blame your bad luck for meeting me."
Wu Laosan, whose mouth was blocked: ...
On the other side, the overturned carriage was also inspected.
There were five little people crammed inside, their hands and feet bound and their mouths gagged. They were all pale from hunger and so weak they could barely stand.
One of them had even fainted long ago and could not be woken up no matter how hard we tried. He was just hanging on by one breath.
Several children were carried out and the restraints on their hands and feet were loosened.
The little girl who had been struggling in the car was frightened. Seeing a group of strong men carrying knives and swords, she was so scared that tears kept falling.
“Who…who are you?”
At the end of the trail, the setting sun hanging on the top of the mountain looks like a salted egg yolk with red oil.
The setting sun reflected in Su Zhizhi's eyes. She took a handkerchief and wiped the tears of the crying girl:
"We are the good people of Black Bandit Mountain."
