Chapter 42

Wang Xiaoniu nodded imperceptibly, his eyelids didn't even jump, completely pretending to be unconscious.

Two bandits carried Wang Xiaoniu along the mountain road, one in front and one behind, and one couldn't help complaining.

"What kind of thing is this? Can't eat enough every day, and haven't done less work!"

The one walking in front responded: "Say less! It's good to have something to eat, is there less people starving to death now?"

The one behind sighed: "Hey! Just talking about it makes me feel better."

"That's the truth! By the way, why is this guy so heavy?"

"Otherwise, let's do it first! Just take a rest."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoniu, who was pretending to be unconscious, was tense all over, his hand tightly pressed against the firewood knife at his waist.

Just as he felt his back touch the ground, Wang Xiaoniu opened his eyes and stood up, his hand quickly drawing the firewood knife and hacking toward one person.

The bandit in front didn't react slowly, dodging the hacking firewood knife with a side step.

Wang Xiaoniu didn't hesitate; a fool wouldn't run when two were fighting one, so he turned and ran in a random direction.

The bandit who dodged the attack felt a chill on the back of his neck; if he hadn't reacted quickly, he was afraid he would be lying straight now.

The other one hurriedly greeted him: "Don't be stunned, chase!"

The plan was for Wang Xiaoniu to find an opportunity to slip away on the road or elsewhere, and now he didn't know why it developed like this.

Wang Xiaoniu couldn't figure it out, but he knew he would be finished if caught; if he walked along the small roads on this mountain, he didn't know the way, and being caught was only a matter of time.

Wang Xiaoniu, who was quick-witted, plunged into the jungle, not caring even if the branches scratched cuts on his body.

In this way, the two behind were gradually shaken off, and Wang Xiaoniu didn't dare to stop until he couldn't see their figures at all, running until his lungs felt a stinging pain.

After resting for a long time, when he finally had time to look at the situation around him, he found...

He seemed to be lost!

"This... where did you bring me?"

The story is divided into two parts; the two bandits who couldn't catch up with Wang Xiaoniu were hiding under a big tree, not knowing what to do.

"That kid is injured like this and still runs so fast?"

"Isn't the point how we go back and explain?"

"Why don't we just run away? I don't want to stay in this broken Viper Stronghold for a day."

"Where else can we run? Just do this! Let's just say we buried him when we go back, won't that work?"

"What if that kid runs back..."

"With his injury, he might be lying in the pit now!"

"Okay, listen to you, let's do it!"

The two could never have imagined that Wang Xiaoniu's injury had a trend of slowly scabbing under the golden sore medicine produced by the system.

When the news reached the Viper Stronghold, the reactions of a group of people were all different.

Pit Viper pretended to scold the two bandits, first blaming them for moving too slowly and delaying Wang Xiaoniu's treatment, and then telling Jiang Jinshi and the others that Wang Xiaoniu's injury was too heavy, etc.; on the surface, he looked a bit guilty, but his attitude was extremely perfunctory.

Wang Sixi and the others couldn't believe it, after all, this was a bit different from the plan, until they saw Jiang Jinshi's eyes and temporarily put down the doubts in their hearts.

For Pit Viper, this didn't matter; in his heart, this episode had been solved, and next he needed to arrange the meeting with the Centipede Stronghold.

When no one was around, Jiang Jinshi said that Wang Xiaoniu should be fine; although Wang Xiaoniu was not a good hand, it was not easy for the two to kill Wang Xiaoniu, who was pretending to be unconscious, without injury when he had a knife in his hand.

And from the torn trouser legs of the two, it should have been a jungle tug-of-war.

Hearing Jiang Jinshi say this, the few finally felt completely at ease; after all, there were only a few brothers left, and losing one was a not-so-small blow to the few.

On the other hand, Wang Xiaoniu spent a lot of effort walking from Lianhuan Shan to the official road, taking out the cloth strip prepared in advance to cover most of his face, for fear of being targeted by other strongholds, and then walked toward Jiangcheng along the official road.

After arriving in Jiangcheng, he was completely stunned; although Jiang Jinshi told him where to find people, he was unfamiliar with the place, and he asked several people but couldn't find the place.

Just when he was anxious and scratching his head, a little old man pulling a donkey cart came up enthusiastically to ask: "Young man, where are you going?"

Wang Xiaoniu described the two locations Jiang Jinshi had described again.

The old man's face became more and more wonderful as he listened, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Do you know Jiang kid?"

Because these two places were places Jiang Jinshi had been to before, a cave and an intersection; ordinary families wouldn't get off the car in such places!

Wang Xiaoniu grabbed the old man's shoulder and nodded like grabbing a life-saving straw.

The old man muttered in his heart; he didn't know what happened today, someone came to find a donkey cart to pull things early in the morning, and only after he entered the village did he find that he was going to that Jiang kid's house, and he had been running there for the past few days.

But the person who got in the car today was not Jiang kid himself, it was said to be his wife, and she even brought a big wild boar to the city to sell.

According to the villagers around, this pig was also a reward from heaven to her.

Now another person related to Jiang kid came; after hesitating for a moment, he pulled the donkey cart and looked at the sky; at this time, he thought that Miss Li hadn't finished selling, and it shouldn't matter if he ran a trip.

Thinking of this, the little old man said to Wang Xiaoniu: "Let's go! I'll take you."

Wang Xiaoniu only thought that his head leader was famous, even a little old man pulling a donkey cart knew him, and even enthusiastically wanted to take him there.

At this moment, the pride of joining Yangguangzhai surged from his heart.

Although his feet were a bit painful, he still hurriedly followed the little old man.

In order not to delay the head leader's big business, Wang Xiaoniu almost ran to Jiangcheng, even if his throat felt like it was about to smoke, he didn't make a sound.

The old man didn't think so much, just anxious to take Wang Xiaoniu to the destination, so he could come back to help that Miss Li pull goods, this was agreed upon.

The two went to the intersection first, didn't see anyone, Wang Xiaoniu noted the location and rushed toward the cave.

The little old man came to the foot of the mountain and pointed to a location, letting Wang Xiaoniu go up the mountain himself, he had to be busy going back to pull goods for Miss Li.

Wang Xiaoniu thanked him and plunged into the small road; as the road up the mountain became more difficult to walk, just when Wang Xiaoniu doubted whether he had gone the wrong way, a chorus came faintly from his ear.

"If you want wealth, exchange it with your life! Break through the mountain of knives and gold will pile up! Go all out, three generations of profit! Kill a bloody path and sit on the chair! Tonight the ground is the bed, tomorrow morning the stronghold is the king!"

"Bold as heaven, gold fills the ship! Keep your head on your waist and turn the sky! Fight a battle, eat in all directions! The stronghold leader is the one with many ghosts under the knife! Sleep on the rocky ridge tonight, wear brocade clothes tomorrow!"

These slogans were shouted with more and more momentum; Wang Xiaoniu was savoring the mystery in it, when a figure suddenly ran out from the jungle on the side, just bumping into Wang Xiaoniu.
