Chen Jiu rode his horse eastward, but after getting rid of Zhang Qianhu behind him, he suddenly turned from a mountain road to the north.

If you continue to travel eastward, you will inevitably be caught up by those behind you, and the risk factor will be very high. Now he has decided to take a different path, intending to go to the town of Iron, from where he will return to the East Sea Island.

He wasn't too familiar with the area, but he did. As long as you go north along the coastline east of Leizhou Mansion, you will inevitably reach Tie Rake Town.

It's just that when he thinks of today's loss, he also has a pain in his flesh, and almost all the elites under his command have been wiped out, and years of hard work have been ruined. However, he believes that as long as he returns to Donghai Island, there will inevitably be a comeback.

"I must avenge this revenge!"

Chen Jiu gritted his teeth and swore secretly.

He didn't resent those Lei Zhouwei who didn't want to die for money, but he was resentful of this such a heroic back-the-scenes big financier, who actually marked the price for him and his subordinates, making them all fat sheep to be slaughtered.

There was no sun in the sky, but it was gloomy.

With nervousness and resentment, Chen Jiu rode his horse through the mountain trail and advanced all the way to the north.

His little plan succeeded, and there were no more pursuers behind him, but he did not dare to be careless, and chose to continue north, hoping to reach the town of Iron Rake before dark.

It's just that by noon, he was already thirsty and hungry, and the big black horse under his crotch was also panting, but this was a place where "there was no village in front of the village and no shop in the back".

After about half a pillar of incense, he rode down a hillside, but saw a canal, but his brow frowned slightly.

The water seemed very turbid, and there were flying insects wandering around on it, which made him unwilling to think of the old lady's advice a long time ago, don't drink this unclean water, it is easy to get sick.

But I don't know whether it's true or not, in order to increase the serious consequences of drinking unclean water, her mother also gave an example of a woodcutter.

A woodcutter did not listen to the teachings of his family, and after being thirsty in the mountains, he drank unclean water, and as a result, he drank the larvae of leeches, and within a month, the woodcutter died, and a nest of leeches burst out of his belly.

Chen Jiu's brows only frowned slightly, then he conveniently turned over and dismounted, strode to the canal, squatted on the ground and drank the water like a cow, and even drank the dead insects floating on it directly into his stomach.

Whether it is making a living at sea or fighting for territory on the East China Sea Island, he has already tied his life to his belt. Not to mention these little dirty waters, he has drunk all human blood, and has eaten human flesh while wandering on the sea.

He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he doesn't believe in any heavenly concubines, if there were really immortals, I'm afraid he would have been accepted a long time ago.

He doesn't believe in this kind of nonsense that deceives children when he drinks dirty water. He just knew that he was very thirsty at the moment, and that he needed some water, just as he liked to kill when he was unhappy.

After a painful drink, he was drenched with joy, as if he had regained his strength.

If there is a canal, there will be people, and this is a small mountain village without a name, and there are only a few families in the whole village.

Compared with the large villages around the Nandu River or the West Lake, the east of Leizhou City is a sparsely populated small village. Build a small mountain pond, irrigate a few thin fields to barely survive, and live a life of male ploughing and female weaving without dispute.

This is the case in the small mountain village here, where the family lives an ordinary and poor life, and is warm and hospitable to foreign guests.

Chen Jiu walked into a house at the east end of the village, which was an extremely ordinary thatched hut, but the front yard was neatly collected, vegetables and fruits were planted, and a water tank was filled with clean water, showing the family's hard work.

An old woman was boiling beans in front of the courtyard, a woman carrying a child on her back was watering the vegetable patch, and an old man weaving a bamboo basket looked up in amazement, then was relieved, and welcomed people into the courtyard with a smiling face.

"You sit!" The old man enthusiastically brought a stool, and then instructed the old woman who was burning wood, "Wife, you go to the house and bring out a bowl of water for your guests." ”

The old woman glanced at Chen Jiu suspiciously, and it also landed on his big knife, but she still threw a dry wood into the fire, stood up with her hands pressed on her knees, and then walked into the house.

Chen Jiu didn't sit down on the stool, but looked around coldly. His eyes skimmed over the boiling beans in the pot, and then faintly at the hens and chicks foraging outside the fence of the vegetable garden, and then at the woman who was watering.

Wow wow......

In the vegetable patch, it was the sleeping baby who suddenly let out a cry, and the woman who was bending down to water was busy putting down the watering spoon in her hand and coaxing the baby's arm with her backhand.

It seemed that she had just noticed that a guest had come, and her beautiful eyes looked at Chen Jiu's strange appearance, and she was slightly stunned.

The old woman came out with water, and when she heard her grandson's crying, she looked at her daughter-in-law and said, "Xiaoyu should be hungry, you should feed him some milk." ”

The woman answered, she used to feed directly in the vegetable field, but when she found that Chen Jiu's eyes were still staring at her, she dispelled this idea and walked towards the house while coaxing.

It's just that she is a little uneasy in her heart, this person is not only dressed strangely, but also the look in her eyes makes her feel uncomfortable.

"Distinguished guests from afar, please drink water!" The old woman brought the water to Chen Jiu and said gently.

Chen Jiu looked at the bowl of water lightly, but did not reach out to take it, but looked at the beans that were being boiled. The beans have a fragrant aroma that looks particularly attractive.

The old man looked at his appearance, and explained gently with the gestures: "You are a distinguished guest from our family, you drink some water to quench your thirst first, and this bean will also be given to you!" ”

"Points? I've never liked to share things with people! Chen Jiu suddenly snorted coldly and looked at the enthusiastic old man indifferently.

"What would you say about us here?" The old man was also stunned for a while, thinking that this guest from nowhere could not understand his words, but he did not expect that this person would not only listen, but also speak fluently.

Burst!

When the old man was still surprised, the big knife in Chen Jiu's hand had already been waved, and a round head rolled to the ground, blood splattered. Part of the blood was splattered on the woman next to her, and part of the blood was splattered in the pot where the beans were boiling.

Burst!

When the old woman had just fallen into grief, the big knife in Chen Jiu's hand swung down again, and another round head fell to the ground, blood splattered. Part of the blood was splashed on Chen Jiu's body, and part of the blood was splashed in the pot where the beans were boiling.

In the blink of an eye, two homicides were staged in this remote mountain village, and they were destined not to cause any waves.
