Chapter I: Suppression of Bandits
First, he caught Tan Mazi
"Bang!" In the distance came a gunshot.
Tan Mazi, the leader of the bandits, knew that the officers and soldiers had arrived, and he pinched his lips and whistled, and a small bandit nearby immediately whistled and blew the horn.
The bandits who were robbing listened, hurriedly stopped their hands, and the water generally left the village, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the forest to the east. Bandit No. 100 jumped like a monkey among the trees and rocks, climbed over cliffs and ditches, and ran out of the land for dozens of miles in one go to a place called Ghost Gate Pass.
It's very steep here.
A path that ordinary people can't see is hidden in a deep stream, both sides of the road are cliffs and steep slopes, at the end of the stream, a high mountain is erected on the ground, and the top of the mountain is inserted straight into the clouds, like a shadow wall that blocks the stream tightly, but when you get closer, you can see that there is a deep ditch under the mountain, much like a knife chopping out, cutting off the mountain stream. The ditch is two inches wide and narrow, but it is not deep enough. Standing on the edge of the ditch, I saw that the clouds below were swirling, and some strange cries were faintly heard. On the mountain opposite the ditch, there is an endless old forest that covers the sky and the sun, and the trees of all colors are high and low, vast and green, and full of eerie weather. A small bridge two feet wide and narrow crossed the ditch, the rope was made of rattan, and a few moso bamboo were set up on it, and the wind blew and swayed in mid-air, like a swing.
After crossing the bridge, into the forest, and not far away, there was a very wide and deep cave, and this was where the bandits hid. When they arrived here, the bandits knew that the fish had returned to the sea, the birds had entered the forest, and even if the monkeys came, they could not help them, so they all relaxed their hearts.
On both sides of the road, there were several stones the size of light tarts, flattened and rolled out, and Tan Mazi jumped on one, opened his arms, opened his voice and shouted, "Brothers, take a breath." Nod your head to see if any of them have fallen? ”
The bandits cheered, and they lay down on the rock, crooked, sat down, and rested.
Tan Mazi slipped the box gun in her hand, inserted it into the waistband of her pants, and smiled: "Fuck! Officers and soldiers still want to take Lao Tzu, no long eyeballs! They just broke their legs, and they didn't want to touch a hair of Lao Tzu! The bandits let go of their throats and laughed.
"The brethren are not happy this time, first nest in the forest for a few days, and when the time comes, Lao Tzu will take you out to catch a net!"
The bandits shouted in unison.
When this side was happy, the little bandit who blew the trumpet was already on the bridge alone, and he helped the railing rope to shake the bridge slowly, and while playing, he opened his throat and sang:
The sun is out and the sun is setting, and the days are so happy. Throw down the hoe and sell the cattle, and replace it with a knife and gun to make Yan Luo. Not afraid of the gods and immortals, not afraid of the Buddha. There is meat to eat yo ho, there is wine to drink... The voice is open, the mountains and forests echo, but it is also melodious and a little beautiful.
The bandits were happy, and they sang with him, which was very lively.
Suddenly, I heard a "bang" of a gunshot, followed by a scream, and the little bandit who was singing fell from the bridge, and after a while, Fang heard a rattling sound at the bottom of the ditch, and then saw a group of birds screaming and flying straight to the sky.
The bandits screamed in unison, and the fire burned their butts and jumped straight up. Tan Mazi has been a bandit for many years, and it is not once and for a while that he meets with the big worm on the way. As soon as the gun sounded, the echo had not yet fallen, it was already a donkey rolling, hidden behind the stone, he pulled out the box gun, rubbed it on the thigh, opened the nose, shrunk his neck, put up his ears and listened carefully for half a moment, there was no sound, and then he stretched out his head from behind the stone and looked around.
The sound of the gun was really earth-shattering, but after it sounded, there was no movement at all, and it was crazy quiet for a while.
