Chapter 1009: An Unexpected Gamble
The place Jiang Feng came to was very chaotic. Bandits are rampant, and it can be said that you can meet bandits by looking for a random place. Find a random mountain, and there will be those who occupy the mountain as the king.
It is very common to walk the mountain road and encounter bandits who are robbed. It's just that under normal circumstances, the bandits will not kill everyone, or they will not rob all the money. Anyone who has been active somewhere for a long time will have to pay some tolls. As long as it is given, there is no problem under normal circumstances. But today, the gang of bandits Jiang Feng encountered was a little strange.
The strange thing is that Jiang Feng was kidnapped. Even a few people who were walking on the mountain road, and even those who had already prepared the tolls, were kidnapped. This is a bit unusual. Tie them up, obviously to be used as meat tickets. But with ordinary meat tickets, you can't get a few dollars.
The people of the big families were kidnapped, so they could ask for more ransom, and now the people who are tied up are not like any big families. This made the few people who were kidnapped with Jiang Feng very scared, and they felt that they might not be able to live. Jiang Feng didn't care at all, he was tied up, and he followed, without any resistance.
Soon, Jiang Feng and the others were taken to the bandits' cottage and locked them in a cave converted into a cell. The few people who were arrested together began to cry for their father and mother as soon as they were locked in. Jiang Feng was the only one, looking around very calmly, and then finding a clean place to sit down. Where he sits, there is a wooden pier on which he can sit on a stool.
"This cave is kind of interesting, almost square. I guess it was processed later. It's good luck that this group was able to find such a place to be a prison cell. Jiang Feng said to himself while looking around.
The others were still shouting, but this was a cell, where would anyone pay attention to them. Let your shouting be as loud as you want. No matter how loud you cry, they won't pay attention to you. When you get tired of shouting at the people outside, you have to come in and beat you up. No, it didn't take long for someone to come in and beat people. After being beaten, I finally got honest.
"It's over. We're finished, we're going to die this time, I don't want to die yet. Someone sat on the ground and cried.
"Accept your fate, if you want to get out alive on this Black Wind Ridge, it's impossible. Our luck is really bad. An older man said.
Seeing that they all looked dejected, Jiang Feng said, "It's not like you'll lose your life." These people have kidnapped us for ransom. Let the family scrape together some money for them, and it will be over. ”
"It's that simple, if only it were that easy. We won't survive, we'll die here. ”
"The bandits in the Black Wind Ridge are all demons who eat people and don't spit out bones. They're going to kill us soon, and I don't want to die yet. ”
This made Jiang Feng a little dizzy, how could he listen to what these people meant, after being caught here. It's like you won't survive. He felt that bandits were just trying to make money, and catching them was like meat. Unless you can't get the money. will kill people. Bandits may be unreasonable and inhumane, but that doesn't mean they're stupid. They don't always catch a poor man and ask for a sky-high number, which is impossible to get.
Maybe he saw that Jiang Feng didn't understand a little, and the older man said, "Later life." You must have thought that the people of Black Wind Ridge were holding us for ransom. It would be a mistake to think that way. We can take out all our belongings for a few dollars, and we don't have a lot of money. They didn't arrest us for ransom at all. ”
"Not for the money. So what are we doing here? They are bandits, and they don't arrest people for money, which is not in line with their profession. You won't catch us and kill us. Jiang Feng said.
The older man sighed, his eyes red, and he didn't speak. Among the others, someone else began to cry as if he was about to die. Jiang Feng was confused.
These people plus Jiang Feng have a total of nine people, which is not a lot of people. This cave is quite large, and the cell where Jiang Feng is located is only twenty square meters. There were several other cells, all empty. Some of them are much bigger than Jiang Feng's cell. Now Jiang Feng wondered, should the bandits really arrest people just to kill people.
The bandits didn't show up for a long time, and when they arrived at the meal, they didn't bring anything to eat, they didn't even have saliva, and they didn't care at all. It was still noon when I was arrested, and after dinner, there was movement outside. Jiang Feng thought it was for the food, and the last time he came with some water, it was humane. Where did I think that it was simply a meal delivery, but another group of people were brought in. This time, there were a lot of people, fifty or sixty. Judging by the way they looked, they had just been caught.
"It seems that arresting so many people really isn't as simple as ransom. It's not like a coolie, some are young, some are too old to do any work. So what are you going to do with it? Jiang Feng pondered in his heart. He was curious, so he didn't plan to leave, but stayed and watched. I didn't go out to observe, I just waited.
The next morning, there was still no one to deliver food, not even saliva. In the morning, bandits came in and took ten people away in the cell next to Jiang Feng. Those ten people didn't want to go, crying and shouting, it was useless. One was even killed outright.
When the men were taken away, everyone else became nervous. There was no movement for a while, and no bandits came in. Jiang Feng couldn't bear it a little impatiently, so he let out his thoughts to observe. Who knew that Shen Nian had just dispersed out of the cave, and not far from the cave, he saw the corpses of those people who had just been taken away. He just died. At this time, some bandits were scolding towards the cave. A little farther away, there were a lot of people gathered, and it seemed to be very lively. But Jiang Feng's attention was all on the corpse, and he didn't look at the crowded place in the distance.
"It was shot, was it really caught as a target? That's a bit too ruthless. Jiang Feng muttered.
Someone from the cave came in, opened the door of Jiang Feng's cell, and then took out all nine people in Jiang Feng's cell, grabbed one in the other cells, and drove ten people out of the cell together. After going out, I went to the place not far away where many people had gathered. When he was on the road, he saw the ten people who had died just now, and among Jiang Feng's people, some of them were scared stupid on the spot.
When they arrived at the crowd, Jiang Feng and the others were driven out of the middle. Bandits surrounding here. There were more than a hundred people. In the middle was a long table with guns and bullets. Jiang Feng noticed that these bandits were gambling for money, and this gambling was not an ordinary gamble, it was related to the people who were arrested.
"It's over. This is the people of Heifeng Village who want to gamble with us and take our lives. No one will survive, all of them will have to die. A person beside Jiang Feng whispered.
Suddenly, someone yelled and ran out like crazy. He had just run a few steps before he was stopped by a bandit and slashed with a knife. And the man died at that time.
"His grandmother's, if you want to die, run to me if you want to die, and kill whoever runs." A burly bandit said.
"Listen to me. Today, we are less in charge of the gambling game, and we will gamble on the lives of you people. Come one by one, those who win will live, and those who lose will die. Those who dare to run, those who dare not gamble, will be killed directly. Do you understand? One of the bandits said.
The bandit who spoke was at one end of the long table. Beside him, there was also a wooden chair. Sitting on it was a young man, at most fourteen or fifteen years old. It is estimated that it is less in charge.
The men were pushed to the edge of the long table. Then someone briefly talked about the rules. Quite simply, it's Russian roulette. There were revolvers on the table, there were bullets. Only one bullet is put in the gun, and in turn, the loser dies. It's just one thing that makes Jiang Feng very strange. It's not just the people who are caught to gamble, it's the bandits who make a person. One of the people who was caught, and the two of them came to gamble. Others sell, who wins, who dies.
"Are these bandits too long-lived? Even if you're lucky, you can't get better forever. Someone gets shot, are they sick in the brain? Jiang Feng frowned and muttered in a low voice.
"The afterlife. These people are capable, the bullets will not go to them, and only us can die. The older man heard Jiang Feng's muttering, so he whispered to Jiang Feng.
Hearing what people said, Jiang Feng understood, it turned out that these bandits had the ability, so they dared to play. But Jiang Feng didn't believe it, they wouldn't have any surprises at all. I also feel a little crazy, these people are willing to gamble their lives.
"And what if the bullet does go to them? By the way, they are bandits, and even if they do go to their own place, they will not give themselves a shot. Jiang Feng thought in his heart. He didn't think anyone would shoot him when he knew he was going to die.
At this time, someone began to urge, and the gambling game was about to begin. There is already a person out of the bandits, and no one here in Jiang Feng dares to go out. But it doesn't matter, no one goes out, just pull one out at random. The other bandits began to bet.
A gun, a bullet. Loaded the bullet into the gun, but did not return the magazine to its place, and just placed the gun on the table. The next step is to turn a turntable with a pointer to whoever points to and who starts first. The one who starts first, can turn the magazine of the revolver and return it to its position. If this can be controlled, it will be very advantageous.
It was the other bandits who turned the turntable. After the turntable turned, the people who were caught were already trembling with fear. The bandit on the opposite side laughed, and suddenly made a move and pressed it on the table. The rapidly spinning turntable began to slow down, and after two seconds it stopped, and the pointer was pointing right at the bandit.
Jiang Feng's gaze contracted, and he could see that the bandit pressed the hand on the table and controlled the turntable. It's not about the shock force, but it's about a force that reaches out along the table to the turntable and stops it. This situation was beyond Jiang Feng's expectations.
The bandit picked up the gun, turned the magazine, and fired a shot at his head. The result was an empty bomb. Then he pointed the gun directly at the person who was captured, pulled the trigger, and the gun went off, exploding the man's head. The bandits won. Then two more people were forcibly pulled out, and the result was still the same, both of them were won by bandits.
Jiang Feng was thinking about it, and he didn't plan to do anything. He can save the people who died just now, it's not that he is ruthless and doesn't want to care about them. It's just that Jiang Feng needs to observe, and now there are some things that make him a little confused. The strength of the bandits seems to be very strange.
When it was the turn of the fourth person, before the bandits could pull the people, Jiang Feng heard a sigh from beside him, and then the older person walked out by himself and became the fourth person to play.
"Heroes, you are all capable people, you are all masters, and we are just ordinary people, why bother to make fun of us, let us go." The older man said.
"Less nonsense, now that you've come forward, let's get started. As long as you can win, you'll be able to live longer. If you have the ability, you will win the whole copycat. Said the bandit on the other side.
There are no surprises at all. The turntable was turned. When the bandit on the opposite side stretched out his hand and pressed it to the table to control the turntable, the older man actually stretched out his hand and pressed it on the table. The rotation of the turntable immediately became a little chaotic, and the surrounding bandits were all shocked, especially the bandit who participated in the gambling opposite. Even the young master, who had been sitting in the same shape and watching a play, also showed a surprised gaze.
Jiang Feng's gaze was also attracted. The bandit on the opposite side pressed his hand on the table and suddenly bounced away, and then he saw the turntable stop, and the pointer pointed to the older man. The man quickly picked up the gun on the table, then turned the wheel to put the magazine back in place, and shot it at his temple.
The empty gun did not go off. Immediately after, when the bandits on the opposite side were shocked, the older man turned his gun at the bandit and opened fire on the bandit. After a thud, the bandit collapsed.
"How about it here? Let us go, why bother us. The older man said as the bandits' eyes widened and there was silence.
It is estimated that these bandits did not expect that among these people they caught, someone would be able to win a game and kill a bandit.
"I didn't see it, I really didn't see it, this person turned out to be a capable person. He really dared to do it, and he directly killed the bandit. None of the others stopped it, it was too late, or something. Even if it was too late, he should have been shot now. But why didn't anyone do it? On the contrary, he said to let us go, did he think that he would be able to leave after killing the bandits? Jiang Feng thought in his heart. He doesn't think you've killed a bandit in a bandit's den, and more than a hundred people are surrounding you and can still let you go. (To be continued......)
