Chapter 4 Silly Girl

  "It's like this!" Zhao Xiao Feng said with difficulty: "One of my friends is injured, and we are now both hungry and thirsty, I don't know..."

  "No problem!" Ah Wang suddenly interjected: "We still have some pumpkins and corn in our mountain village!..." But he suddenly saw the fiery gaze of Hei Tie Ta, and was so frightened that Ah Wang immediately shut his mouth.

  Hei Tie Ta glared at Ah Wang, then continued in a loud voice: "Since that's the case, please have the great hero and your noble friend come to my mountain stronghold for a visit!" His attitude had returned to being arrogant beyond compare.

  Zhao Xiaofeng had already seen the situation clearly, but there was nothing he could do about it. His stomach was really too hungry! He immediately said: "In that case, thank you to the host!"

  "Alright! Ah Wang, Ah Cai, you two help carry the wounded friend of the grand hero." But Hei Tie Ta led the way down the mountain instead.

  "Ah Wang and Ah Cai immediately stepped forward, cupped their hands and said: 'Great hero! Where is your noble friend?'"

  Zhao Xiaofeng immediately waved his hand and said, "No need! No need, I can handle it myself!" He didn't want Mo Yuhan's delicate body to be touched by these bandits!

  Zhao Xiaofeng moved to the back of the tree, put on a spacesuit on Mo Yuhan's body in a mess, and carried it with him as he followed Ah Wang and Ah Cai down the mountain.

  That Ah Wang was a talkative person, but he was still relatively kind-hearted. Along the way, he kept answering Zhao Xiaofeng's questions and from time to time wanted to help Zhao Xiaofeng carry that injured friend.

  From the mouths of Ah Wang and Ah Cai, Zhao Xiaofeng learned that this so-called Hei Long Zhai had only twenty or thirty people, a small fry among the many bandits in the vicinity. Most of these bandits were poor peasants who had lost hope for their lives since Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese, so they all banded together to become outlaws.

  The largest gang in the vicinity, "Liu Zi", is a team from Qilin Village's "Zhong Ba Tian". I heard they have more than 500 people and a relatively complete organization with rules. Zhong Ba Tian is the "Big Brother".

  Below them are two shopkeepers named "Cao Shang Fei" and another old man called "Shan Mao"; further down there is the "Si Liang Ba Zhu", with four beams inside, four outside, together making eight pillars.

  Everyone under "Zhong Batian" wears a small bronze Buddha, said to be called "Dharma", their "God". He often offers sacrifices to the bronze Buddha, divines and makes decisions on auspicious or inauspicious events. That "Zhong Batian" has always been taciturn, appearing extremely profound, so everyone feels he is unfathomable and mysterious, hence all the local bandits are extremely respectful of him.

  This "Zhong Batian" has always been killing the rich and helping the poor, never robbing the poor of their belongings, but instead targeting wealthy landlords and sometimes even taking things from Japanese people. So his reputation is very good.

  Before long, they arrived at the Black Dragon Stockade of the Black Iron Tower. The stockade was merely a few mountain caves connected together on the slope, with no hidden places outside, only a low wall made of stones surrounding it. Several sleepy bandits saw Hei Tie Tower return and lazily gave a few shouts to greet him.

  Back in his own stronghold, Hei Tie Tower immediately changed his demeanor. After all, this was his turf, with more than 20 guns at his disposal! He coldly ordered Ah Wang: "Have Zhao's family settled in the mountain cave, and tell them they must leave before nightfall tonight!" With that, he strode straight into his own assembly hall.

  Zhao Xiaofeng didn't care about Hei Tie Ta's attitude at all and followed A'wang into the cave.

  And Ah Cai followed Hei Tie Tower into the hall, Zhong Ba Tian picked up the cup on the table and took a few sips with a "gulp! gulp!" sound.

  "Son of a bitch! He actually dared to hit my old man's butt!" His heart is now filled with hatred, Zhao Xiaofeng's blow was too great, and he was actually beaten by this little bastard, what a humiliation!

  Acai saw Hei Tie Tower finish drinking water, and immediately leaned into his ear, whispering: "Big brother! That little Zhao kid is quite skilled, why don't we keep him here?"

  "Stay?" Hei Tie Ta's heart skipped a beat, how could he possibly keep him here? Nowadays, bandits only admire the most powerful heroes. If one day that Zhao wanted to seize his power, where would he be his match? Wouldn't that be raising a tiger as a pet? But now he couldn't show weakness in front of his subordinates, so he nodded and said: "Later I'll ask Ah Wang to ask him!" At this time, he had already thought of a countermeasure.

  Ah Wang had already brought Zhao Xiao Feng a basin of clear water, and just as he was about to wash his face, he suddenly saw his reflection in the water. "Huh!" This face had actually changed its appearance, and looked several years younger. Although it wasn't a jade-like complexion with rosy lips, it was still quite handsome, with well-defined features and sharp angles. Although it didn't have an air of elegance, it did have a rough, masculine charm that was passable. And on top of that, his skin had a warm, golden color, and his muscles were strong and toned... Ah, although he was excellent, he couldn't be too self-absorbed, right? Zhao Xiao Feng's face was filled with a dreamy expression as he fantasized about beautiful people automatically coming to him.

  Zhao Xiaofeng, who was indulging in his fantasies, suddenly thought of Mo Yuhan, "Oh no! It's been so long without a sound, is she dead?" He panicked and immediately pulled Mo Yuhan's head out of the spacesuit helmet.

  "Hey! Don't look at the black smudge on your face, that outline is still captivating!" Seeing Mo Yuhan's appearance, Zhao Xiaofeng finally put his mind at ease and couldn't help but laugh: "You silly girl, you can still sleep soundly now?"

  Zhao Xiaofeng looked around and found no towel or cloth, so he had to use his own sleeve to wipe her face clean.

  Suddenly, he found that Mo Yuhan had woken up and was staring at him with a pair of sparkling eyes. Zhao Xiaofeng shook off the water on his sleeve, feeling a bit embarrassed, and muttered: "I... I just wanted to wipe your face for you, I..."

  "I'm hungry!" Mo Yuhan suddenly said.

  "Oh!" Zhao Xiao Feng immediately peeled off a piece of pumpkin skin and handed the pumpkin to Mo Yuhan's mouth. But Mo Yuhan didn't reach out to take it, instead she playfully took another bite of the pumpkin, smacked her lips, and said: "It's very sweet!" Then, ignoring Zhao Xiao Feng's stunned expression, she opened her mouth and started gnawing on it.

  Seeing Mo Yuhan's eating posture, Zhao Xiaofeng completely collapsed! "This girl is stupid!" This was Zhao Xiaofeng's first feeling.

  Zhao Xiaofeng immediately hid the sliced pumpkin behind his back and said: "Silly girl, call me husband and I'll give you some to eat!"

  "Husband!" Mo Yuhan called out without hesitation, her eyes fixed on Zhao Xiaofeng's right hand.

  "Ah! You're crazy! In the past, she would have beaten herself up!" Zhao Xiao Feng suddenly had a playful heart and said: "Come on, give me a kiss and I'll give you some pumpkin to eat!"

  "Slap!" Mo Yuhan's movements were extremely quick, and she immediately kissed Zhao Xiaofeng on the face. "Ah!" Zhao Xiaofeng stretched out his hand to touch the sticky pumpkin juice and the dirt that had been rubbed onto his face from Mo Yuhan's face, and he almost cried out!

  "Damn it! Really damn it!" Zhao Xiaofeng helplessly put the pumpkin in his hand to her mouth, and couldn't help but sigh deeply as he watched Mo Yuhuan gobble it up.

  Zhao Xiaofeng originally thought that by this time he would have someone to accompany him, but now this companion has become a fool. "What should I do?"

  "Husband, I want more!" Mo Yuhan's delicate voice came over again. Zhao Xiaofeng only then discovered that Mo Yuhan had actually licked all of her fingers clean. He immediately sent the last piece of sweet potato to her mouth and picked up a grain of rice to nibble on himself.

  At this time, Ah Wang suddenly came in and said: "Great hero! Our master has asked me to ask you if you are willing to stay with us and be a bandit together?"

  "What?" Zhao Xiaofeng almost spat out the old corn in his mouth! His head immediately shook like a rattle drum, "No way, I still have things to do, can't stay here!"

  Awang walked out in disappointment, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

  None of this escaped Zhao Xiaofeng's eyes, he was taken aback and immediately stuffed the pumpkin into Mo Yuhan's mouth: "Finish eating and go to sleep quickly, don't make a sound, do you understand?"

  Mo Yuhan nodded and muttered while swallowing watermelon: "Okay! Husband!"

  "Ah!" Zhao Xiao Feng felt a chill run down his spine. He gritted his teeth, took out the gun and took two more bites of rice before quietly following Ah Wang to the assembly hall.

  At the entrance of the hall, there were two bandits standing guard. Even the several bandits who had been guarding the entrance to the village were nowhere to be seen now. Zhao Xiao Feng knew they were all in the cave, so he immediately knocked out the two bandits who hadn't even had time to speak yet.

  At this time, Zhao Xiaofeng had already heard the sound coming from inside the black iron tower that was deafening: "Old two, old three, you two bring a few brothers to rush in immediately! Get rid of that kid! However, don't damage that thick clothing!" The black iron tower had already discovered that Mo Yuhuan's clothes were a treasure.

  "Yes!" The two voices responded, followed by the sound of pulling the gun bolt.

  "Big Brother!" A weak voice came from inside, "Big Brother! Don't do it! Zhao Xiong is a hero with extraordinary martial arts skills, we can't do such a despicable thing!"

  "Bastard!" Black Iron Tower furiously pulled out his pistol, pointing the black muzzle at Avang and shouted: "I think you little brat wants to play both sides against each other!"

  "Halt!" Zhao Xiao Feng had already grasped his pistol and walked in from the entrance, he didn't want this honest bandit Ah Wang to lose his life for speaking up for him.

  "Hahaha!" Hei Tie Ta looked at Zhao Xiao Feng, who was alone, and burst out laughing: "Good kid! You actually dare to charge into my gathering hall by yourself. I think you've lived long enough! Come on in...!"

  "Bang!" A crisp gunshot, the towering figure of Hei Tie Ta had slowly collapsed to the ground, his eyes still filled with a hint of resentment! But he was no longer able to vent the anger in his heart! Zhao Xiao Feng was too unscrupulous, not even giving him a warning before firing the shot.

  Zhao Xiaofeng knew that he was now in the tiger's lair, and if he hesitated for a moment, he would definitely be beaten to a pulp! He understood the principle of striking first to gain the upper hand, and striking later to suffer the consequences.

  "Whoever dares to move, I'll shoot him on the spot! Now listen to my orders, those with guns in hand, slowly put them down on the ground." Zhao Xiao Feng cautiously watched every move of each one of them.

  Ah Wang first put the old pipe in his hand on the ground, Ah Cai followed closely wanting to put it down. The second child saw that the situation was not good, and more than 20 of them were actually subdued by a little kid. If this gets out, it's too embarrassing! He involuntarily shouted: "Everyone fight with him! Avenge... the boss!"

  A loud "crack" sound, did not stop him from finishing what he was saying, but by the time he finished his last word, he had stopped breathing.

  All the bandits were frightened by Zhao Xiaofeng's marksmanship, Hei Tietou and Lao Er were both shot in the center of their eyebrows, and the wounds were surprisingly identical.

  After a burst of "ding-dong-dang", everyone put down their guns and turned to look at Zhao Xiaofeng. These bandits were originally a mob, with no cohesion at all. They only knew that the winner was king, and whoever had milk was their mother.

  Zhao Xiaofeng walked forward and said to Awang: "You first collect all the guns and put them in the corner of the wall."

  "Yes!" Awang replied obediently.
