Chapter 8 The downtrodden gang leader
Xu Fu smoothed the iron chain and walked out of the kitchen with the stone lock in hand.
There were four tall and strong men at the door, and the leader of the shouting was the scar-faced horse thief whom he had captured in Changle Town.
When the scar-faced horse thief saw Xu Fu, he was furious. Before he could say anything, the three people behind him laughed out loud.
"Baby, you were caught by this kid? You're so useless, you can't even beat a little kid."
"I thought he was some big shot with three heads and six arms!"
"Bago, you are in great disgrace."
Seeing the three of them laughing together, Scarface gritted his teeth and cursed: "You're laughing, this kid is very strong, I didn't pay attention to his ways."
The scar-faced horse thief is named Li Bajin. Because he weighed eight kilograms when he was born, his father gave him such a funny name. It is also because of this name that Li Bajin has made his peers laugh at him since he was a child. , if you can't talk to others, you will hit them, and then develop a violent temper that loves to fight. Three years ago, Li Bajin accidentally beat someone to death because of his name, and he had no choice but to escape to Horseshoe Mountain and became a horse thief.
Being captured alive by such a little brat, Li Bajin thought that if word spread about this, he would be laughed at for the rest of his life! After learning that Wang Liu was interested in recruiting this kid to join the Hundred Horse Gang, before the brat agreed, he quickly called a few of his best friends to testify and beat the brat to save his face.
"What do you want to do?" Xu Fu asked knowingly.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm going to use your heart and soul to drink!" After Li Bajin said this, he strode forward.
Xu Fu didn't say anything, he just stared at Li Bajin who was about to get close and smashed him with a lock.
Li Bajin didn't react slowly. He ducked sideways and grabbed the chain. He tried hard with his feet to pull Xu Fu over.
Xu Fu's hand holding the chain only moved slightly due to the tug, and his heels seemed to be nailed to the ground. Li Bagin's face turned red from holding back, but he couldn't let Xu Fu move a step.
Instead, Xu Fu saw the opportunity and let go. He heard an "ouch" sound and Li Bagin fell heavily.
"This kid is really strong." The three people behind Li Bajin stopped smiling and their expressions became serious.
Li Bajin was teased by Xu Fu, and his face turned as pale as a cooked crab. It was really more uncomfortable for him than cutting him with a knife, especially since many people had seen this scene not far away, and his reputation was completely ruined. .
Li Bajin grabbed his face hard, feeling like he wanted to tear the skin off, stood up and ran away with a cold face.
Those three people naturally knew Li Bagin's temper. It was useless to say anything at this time. The best way was to beat the boy in front of him to death and make him feel so bad.
The three of them had been together for many years, and they already knew each other's intentions just by looking at each other. When they saw Xu Fu putting away the stone lock and about to turn back to the kitchen, the three of them coincidentally made a concerted effort to rush towards Xu Fu.
Xu Fu heard the sound of footsteps, and when he turned around, the three of them had already rushed in front of him. The two of them clasped Xu Fu's hands, and the man in the middle kicked him in the chest. Xu Fu had no time to react due to their skillful cooperation.
Being kicked firmly by this foot, Xu Fu flew backwards and hit the wall behind him heavily. A piece of dust fell down, and the impact almost knocked down the wall.
The three of them were not surprised at all by this result. This combination of attacks was a unique skill of the three of them. They had never failed to deal with the enemy, and it was no problem to deal with a skinny boy.
"Is this kid dead?"
"If you really take a kick from me, will you die?"
"If you die, you will die, and you will be able to vent your anger on me."
……
Several people were discussing where to bury Xu Fu's body. Suddenly a stone lock flew over and knocked one of them away. When he landed, the man was unconscious.
The remaining two people were horrified to find that Xu Fu, who was supposed to be dead, was rubbing his chest with one hand and pulling on the chain with the other before standing up again.
"How can this kid carry it so well?" Li Fei's face was full of disbelief. This gravel kick is a Kung Fu inherited from his family. Li Fei has been practicing this Kung Fu for fifteen years, and he can easily kick a cow to death with one kick. But the thin-looking young man in front of him was still able to stand up after being kicked hard. This is already stronger than most of the people in Horseshoe Mountain. If he is not removed today, if he is reused in the future, I am afraid that these few people will It will be difficult to turn over.
"Kick me again, kid!" Seeing Xu Fu's ugly face, Li Fei thought that Xu Fu was just holding on, so he stepped forward and kicked Xu Fu in the head with full force.
"Ah!" A groan echoed through Horseshoe Mountain.
Then Li Fei was seen holding his slightly twisted right leg and howling on the ground.
It turned out that Xu Fu threw the stone lock up to protect his head and collided with Li Fei's right leg. The stone lock was intact, but the leg was not as strong as the stone lock.
Xu Fu also recovered at this time. The kick he just received was really uncomfortable. It was not painful, but he just ate a whole sheep, a dozen steamed buns, and drank almost half a pot of soup. After suffering this My feet, these things in my stomach seem to be tumbling.
Xu Fu leaned against the wall and did not dare to breathe, for fear that he would spit it out when he opened his mouth. This made the three people mistakenly think that he had been kicked to death by Li Fei.
"Don't you have gravel feet?" Xu Fu approached Li Fei with the stone lock and said, "This is stone, why can't you kick it into pieces?"
After saying that, he knocked Li Fei unconscious with a stone lock.
Seeing that Xu Fu was so difficult to deal with, the last remaining person shouted at the top of his lungs to the people watching the fun not far away: "Come quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone lock flew out, and the man immediately fell to the ground.
At this time, many people heard the shouts and rushed here. A dozen people watching the excitement were the first to arrive. Xu Fu was not polite to these people. He tied the iron chain to the stone lock and used a meteor hammer to drive them away. The group of people who came to help boxing were beaten to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers. Except for a few who ran away because of the bad situation, the others were locked by Xu Fu without exception. Some were lying on the ground and moaning, but most of them followed. Just like the previous general, he fainted directly.
Another person came and smashed the area again, and the small open space was quickly filled with people.
"Stop!" Wang Liu finally heard the sound and rushed over. Seeing this situation, he shouted loudly to stop.
There were also a dozen or so people who came later when they saw Wang Liu coming, and they all came closer. As there were more people, they naturally became more courageous. They completely forgot about the panic just now, and started yelling and cursing again.
Seeing that Xu Fu defeated dozens of people without being hurt, Wang Liu no longer thought about taking him under his command. With such ability, if one day he rebelled, who could control him. Thinking of this, he raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, chop this kid into pieces."
Most of the horse thieves have spent many years licking blood from the edge of a knife. No matter where they go, they have never suffered such a big loss. Now that they have been bullied to this level, some of them can no longer hold back. At this time, they heard Wang Liu's cry, They all shouted loudly, raised their weapons, and rushed towards Xu Fu in a swarm.
The horse thief came fiercely, and Xu Fu couldn't resist it for a while. He also received several blows on his shoulders and back, but his body's toughness was staggering. The swords in the horse thief's hand had not been polished for a long time, and they slashed and tickled him. almost.
Without worries, Xu Fu's stone locks can naturally be wielded more freely. He is now astonishingly strong. A stone lock weighing dozens of kilograms is like paper in his hand. In addition, he moves very quickly, even if he has some skills. It was difficult to escape the horse thieves, and Xu Fu fought harder and harder. It was all money!
After swinging the stone lock around twice in the open space, no horse thief could stand up anymore. But he didn't seem to see Wang Liu. This man was kind to him, and Xu Fu still wanted to show some mercy when facing him.
"You two, come out!" Xu Fu heard a noise in the house behind him, and then he remembered that there were two cooks.
The two cooks were trembling, and as soon as they went out, they knelt down in front of Xu Fu, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Since you have become a horse thief, you should understand that sooner or later such a day will come." Xu Fu said as he was about to throw out the stone lock.
"Sir, spare your life, we are not horse thieves! We are from Changle Town. We were taken to the mountains to cook a year ago. We have never done anything like burning, killing or looting!" an older cook said sadly. .
"Changle Town?" Xu Fu was stunned, and then asked: "Do you know Ji Changhe?"
"I know, I know, that's the eldest son of the Ji family, he's very famous in the town." The older cook replied hurriedly.
"Even if you two are not horse thieves, you have been working for the horse thieves for a year, so you are considered an accomplice! Give you a chance to atone for your sins and tie up the hands and feet of these horse thieves." Xu Fu pointed at the dozens of horse thieves behind him and said sternly said.
The two cooks didn't dare to neglect, so they quickly said yes, found a bundle of ropes, and tied them up one by one, their technique was very deft. Although several horse thieves were seriously injured, they were still awake and naturally they would not be captured without restraint. However, after just two struggles, they were knocked unconscious by Xu Fu's stone lock.
The two cooks were working, and Xu Fu supervised the work. Soon, the ground was full of horse thieves whose hands and feet were tied.
"Are you quite skilled at this technique?" Xu Fu looked at the skillful way the cook tied people up, and he didn't look like an ordinary cook.
"To tell you the truth, sir, when I was working in a restaurant in the town, I came to buy the cattle and sheep, so the task of tying the animals was not a big deal." While the cook was talking, he tied up another horse thief.
"I'm not a hero." Xu Fu said quickly when he heard the cook call him that. Although he refused, he was still very pleased with it and he had a better impression of the cook.
"Where does the horse thief gang leader live?" Xu Fu asked. He had paid special attention just now. He had indeed never seen the black dwarf gang leader. They all said that to capture the thief, capture the king first. This horse thief gang leader is probably worth a lot of money. If this big fish escapes, It would be a pity.
"Behind the Baima Hall is the gang leader's residence." The older cook answered honestly.
"You go down the mountain to find Ji Changhe, tell him what's going on here, and ask him to send someone over quickly, and I'll catch the gang leader." After Xu Fu finished explaining, he carried the stone lock into Baima Hall.
There are many chairs in the Hundred Horse Hall. This should be the place where horse thieves gather on weekdays.
Behind the Baima Hall, passing through the cloister, is an ordinary-looking courtyard. Compared with the grand hall in front, it is completely different.
There were several wooden houses in the courtyard, all of which were closed and windows closed at this time, as if no one was inhabited, but Xu Fu could faintly hear subtle noises coming from the innermost room.
"Come out!" Xu Fu shouted, but no one responded.
Xu Fu walked forward and kicked down the door. Before he could step in, he heard a scream from inside the room.
"Come out, come out, hero, have mercy on me, hero, have mercy on me!"
Then Zhu Sandao was seen running out of the back room while crawling on the ground. The contrast between his embarrassed appearance and his appearance was really huge.
"I got the reward." Xu Fu was secretly happy and was about to knock Zhu Sandao unconscious.
"My hero, have mercy on me, my hero, have mercy on me, I will give you whatever you want, but don't kill me!" Zhu Sandao's head banged on the ground, showing no trace of the courage of the leader of the Horse Thief Gang.
Only then did Xu Fu realize that the man in front of him was the leader of the Hundred Horse Gang! Naturally, the amount of money robbed will not be less. I actually forgot about this before.
"Do you have money? If you have it, go and get it."
"Yes, yes."
Xu Fu followed Zhu Sandao into the house. Zhu Sandao walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, took the key to open a secret compartment on the bed, took out a wooden box, and gave it to Xu Fu tremblingly.
Xu Fu didn't take it, but opened it directly. Apart from seven or eight pieces of silver, there were only a few gold jewelry inside.
"That's it?" Xu Fu said in surprise. After all, he was the leader of a gang. This little money was too shabby.
"You really think I'm being fooled!" Xu Fu immediately lifted up the stone lock, swinging the iron chain with a rattling sound. Zhu Sandao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with another plop.
"Hero, that's all I have, I'm really gone." Zhu Sandao said with a sad face.
"I don't believe it. You guys are burning, killing and looting all day long. How can you only have such a small amount of money?"
"The money, food and horses are all under the control of Wang Liu. I have saved these secretly over the years."
"Wang Liu? He's in charge of the money, food and horses, so what do you, the leader of the gang, have to do with you?" Xu Fuxin said that it was too easy for you, the shopkeeper, to be the boss.
"I, I am in charge of giving everyone a grand march before going down the mountain, and burying the dead brothers when we return to the mountain." Zhu Sandao replied in a low voice.
"It's embarrassing for a gang leader to do what you do." When Xu Fu heard Zhu Sandao's words, didn't this mean that the housekeeper became a landlord and the landlord became a servant? Absolutely ridiculous!
Whether it was fear or grievance, Zhu Sandao lay on the ground and cried loudly. Xu Fu looked a little confused, cried for a while, and then told Xu Fu everything about the Hundred Horse Gang.
It turns out that the Zhu Da gang leader who can stop children from crying at night was just a butcher named Zhu Ping. No matter whether he was killing cattle or sheep, the animals would definitely die with three cuts, so he got the "Zhu San" Knife" nickname. Wang Liuben was the son of a down-and-out landowner. He had studied and practiced martial arts. After his family fell into decline, he was unwilling to be a subordinate, so he roped in Zhu Ping and a few idle men and came to occupy the Horseshoe Mountain. After robbing several landowners, he gained some reputation and attracted many people to defect to him. This is how the Hundred Horse Gang came into existence. As for why Wang Liu asked Zhu Ping to be the leader of this gang, Zhu Ping himself couldn't explain.
"Whether what you say is true or false, your little money is not enough to buy a life." Xu Fu was thinking about the reward and decided to take the person back first.
"Spare your life! Hero, I really only have this money. I have wanted to escape for a long time. This is all the money I saved!" Zhu Ping, an old man, said his story with snot and tears. It's not easy, her tone is similar to that of a young daughter-in-law who was taken prisoner to the mountain.
"By the way, I have another treasure! Hero, please spare my life. I'll give this treasure to you. If you take me back, I will have to be cut into pieces." Zhu Ping said again. Kowtow on the ground.
"Baby? What kind of treasure can you have?" Xu Fu curled his lips and said, but he was also hesitating in his heart. As Zhu Ping said, most of the things committed by horse thieves will be remembered on the head of this gang. Wang Liu didn't know if it was a fight. With such thoughts, Zhu Ping was made the leader of the White Horse Gang. If it was true as he said, then this man would be quite pitiful.
"Please read it, heroes." Just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Ping took out a book from his arms and handed it to Xu Fu with trembling hands.
