Chapter 71: Black Tiger's Heart-Prying

He stopped struggling and simply went along with the custom.But no one noticed, the third sister standing by was already gaping in shock…"My dear wife, you've worked hard. Let me wash your feet for y..."Whoosh!"

The arrow leaves the string.

However, just as it was about to hit Zhong Tao.

Zhong Tao actually dodged as if he had eyes on his back!

Hei Hu frowned slightly and drew his bowstring again.

This second arrow, Zhong Tao did not dodge, was shot in the shoulder, his body staggered, but he still endured the pain and continued to run wildly.

When the black tiger shot its third arrow, Zhong Tao had already escaped far away.

Damn it!

The Black Tiger angrily put away his bow and coldly said, "Go see if the second idiot is dead"

Ersi, the bandit who was brought down by Zhongtao.

"Tiger Brother, Second Fool still has some breath left, but they're mostly finished!"

"Give him a good thrashing!" Black Tiger said coldly.

"Yes!"

The small leader stabbed Ershi mercilessly in the heart.

The villagers were all scared witless!

Bandits would even turn on their own

That's too cruel!

"Tiger Bro, should we go after that guy" San Dangjia asked.

Heihe tiger waved his hand, his face sullen: "Don't make things difficult, first go into the village and find Yang Lin!"

……

Still at home, Yang Lin immediately realized something was wrong when he received the news!

Sixteen bandits, all riding horses, were practically a cavalry unit!

There was no news at all, the bandits went straight to Kaoshan Village. It seems that these bandits came for me!

Kong Liang asked urgently, "Lin Ge, what should we do Tao Ge's side is probably not going to hold!"

The women were also watching Yang Lin nervously.

"What if we do the same as last time, set an ambush first, and lure the bandits over" asked Second Sister.

"No!"

"No."

Liao Hongying and Yang Lin both spoke at the same time.

But all the women didn't understand.

Last tactics were quite good, it's just a pity they didn't get to be used.

Yang Lin explained: "These bandits are all riding horses, and they have captured the road-building team. I'm afraid they will use this to coerce me into coming out, so that our ambush here will be useless."

Li Hongying nodded: "Moreover, they outnumber us. They ride horses and are faster than we are. Our archery skills aren't that good either. It's not just about hitting them; we're afraid of accidentally hurting the civilians."

After hearing the two explain, everyone panicked even more.

"So, it seems like we have no other choice, huh"

I have a plan.

Li Yuxi suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

Just like last time, we'll set an ambush, but this time we'll lure the bandits out before they do anything.

Li Yuyao said, looking at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin thought for a moment: "There's no other way."

"You guys hide like last time, I'll lure the bandits."

"Kong Liang, you go outside the village and find another group of guards. Have them get their weapons ready and ambush near my house. Wait for the right moment and then act!"

"Brother, this is too dangerous," Xiao Jiu hurriedly said.

"That's right, you can't go looking for bandits alone!"

"What if the bandits are here to kill you They see you and attack, what do you do"

"Why don't we just fight them head-on!"

All the women looked nervously at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin shook his head. "The other side has more people and stronger abilities than us. We can't win by force!" "As for danger..."

Yang Lin wryly smiled: "Going to find bandits is indeed dangerous, but besides that, there's no other way. Taking the initiative is always better than passively getting beaten."

"Come back!"

"Brother, be careful."

"If things go south, run!"

Women were chattering.

Li Yuyao opened her mouth, but in the end, she only managed to say two words.

"Waiting for you!"

Yang Lin smiled knowingly, waved his hand, and then left home.

Meanwhile.

The Black Tiger has already led his men into Koushan Village.

This time, the bandits came too suddenly, without any prior warning. At this moment, the villagers along the road saw the bandits escorting the villagers and marched into the village in a mighty procession. They hurriedly closed their doors and hid at home, afraid to come out.

Looking at the scale of Koushan Village, even Heihǔ couldn't help but frown slightly.

A village with over two hundred households, if searched house by house, it might take who knows how long. By then, Yang Lin would have long since fled.

So, he could only ask those people about Yang Lin's whereabouts.

"Listen up, you bastards! Whoever tells me where Yang Lin is, I'll give him a thousand dollars!" Heihǔ roared.

However, none of the villagers who were arrested spoke up.

Everyone's mouths were tightly shut, their eyes filled with anger.

"Hee hee, what do you say"

"Trying to be tough in front of Laozi, huh Since you guys want to play that way, I'll see just how hard your bones really are!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Black Tiger raised his saber and slashed at a middle-aged man beside him.

"Ah—!"

The man lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

However, he still didn't say a word.

The black tiger frowned slightly, his blood-stained blade pointed at an old man beside him: "You! Do you want the money consistently, or do you want me to give you a slash"

The old man trembled all over, but he still closed his eyes: “Kill me! Yang Lin has been kind to me. If it weren’t for Yang Lin, my grandson wouldn’t have survived. I won’t betray Yang Lin, no matter what!”

The old man tilted his head back, awaiting the arrival of death.

"Are you my grandson"

Heihei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smirk. His gaze fell upon the young boy standing beside the old man.

Only then did the old man realize what was happening. He sprang to his feet, snatching the young boy beside him and hurriedly holding him close.

However, it is too late.

The black tiger waved his hand, and two bandits jumped off their horses and grabbed the little boy.

"What are you going to do Come at me if you have something! He's still just a child!"

The old man trembled as he charged towards the bandits, but was kicked to the ground by a single kick from one of them.

"Child, child!"

"Grandpa! Grandpa..."

The grandfather and grandson cried bitterly, but were completely separated by the bandits.

A bandit grabbed the boy's chin and said coldly, "Boy, just tell us where Yang Lin lives, and I'll not only let you and your grandfather go, but also give you some money."

The bandit held up two copper coins, waving them in front of the boy.

But the little boy clenched his teeth and said, "Grandpa said, you can't betray your benefactor!"

"Damn it, have some shame!"

The bandit, enraged and humiliated, slapped the little boy across the face.

The little boy was knocked to the ground, but he still didn't say a word.

"Get out of the way, I'll do it!"

The Black Tiger's face darkened as he leaped from his horse. He drew a dagger from his waist and strode before the young boy.

He looked down at the terrified boy: “Do you know why they call me Black Tiger”

"Because I, like a man-eating tiger, enjoy drinking with human hearts!"

"Especially the heart of a child!"

Saying that, he yanked open the little boy's shirt...rangements for your work here." Yang Lin introduced.Du Jing was already eager and called over the five people, inquiring about their strengths and abilities, then immediately arranged them.The women s...
