"These bandits are really abominable." Liu Zhong couldn't help but say angrily. He didn't expect the man in front of him to live such a miserable life. "My name is Liu Zhong. He is Zheng Ming. This is Nie Li and this is Little Head Mo." Liu Zhong introduced a few people to the man.
"My name is Xiong Ba." When the man said his name, he had a different expression from before. It seemed that this name gave him endless courage. However, this name was also somewhat inconsistent with him. This little person was actually called Xiong Ba.
Xiong Ba didn't care about the other people's gazes. He had seen enough of this name. He was neither sad nor happy. He picked up the kettle and refilled the water for Nie Li and the others. Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming realized that they had forgotten themselves! Therefore, they picked up the bowl and drank slowly, as if the mist could cover up this subtle atmosphere.
"Nie Li," "Little Head Mo." Unlike Zheng Ming and Liu Zhong's awkwardness, Nie Li was very comfortable. He cupped his fist and shook it a few times, and simply said his name. Xiong Ba put down the water bottle in fear and also imitated Nie Li's actions.
There were very thick calluses on Xiong Ba's palm. There were also calluses on the web between his thumb and index finger. This was noticed by Nie Li because this position was formed by practicing swords and sabers all year round. "I'm sorry. Because I have to chop firewood all year round, I have a lot of calluses." Xiong Ba put down his hand in fear.
"I'll go get some hot water. Wait for me." Xiong Ba saw that there wasn't much water left in the kettle, so he took the kettle and went out. Except for Little Head Mo, the other three people had already let down their guard against Xiong Ba.
"You must be overthinking." Nie Li couldn't help but say. He couldn't find any problem at all. If there was anything that made him uncomfortable, it would be Xiong Ba's expression when he said his name. His eyes contained a ferocious beast.
"Maybe I'm overthinking." Although Little Head Mo agreed verbally, the suspicion in his heart didn't relax at all. Instead, he became more vigilant because he felt that something was going to happen later.
"The bandits are here. You guys go quickly." After a while, Xiong Ba hurried back. "It's okay. With us here, we guarantee that you'll be fine." Liu Zhong's blood was suddenly ignited. He patted his chest and said solemnly.
"Thank you for your kindness, but you shouldn't get involved in this muddy water. I'll go take a look in the village first." Tyrant Bear first respectfully thanked them for their kindness, then decisively picked up the wooden basket on the ground and walked outside.
"Let's go take a look!" Zheng Ming said. Liu Zhong nodded. The two of them took the lead and went out. They took the horses out of the house and followed behind Xiong Ba. Nie Li looked back at Little Head Mo, who was still unmoved.

........................ .. "Boss, there are people here." Three or four people on horseback saw Nie Li and the others. They immediately looked at them.
"Finally...".. In just a few moments, dozens of people rode on horses. They wore raincoats and bamboo hats on their heads. Looking at them, they gave off a kind of pressure. Nie Li couldn't even see what they looked like.
"Are you people from this village?". The voice under the bamboo hat sounded. He raised his face. He looked fierce. One of his eyes was covered with an eye patch. "I am. What's wrong?" Xiong Ba's hand holding the reins was trembling. "Big Brother, this kid is from this village." Someone whispered in his ear. Obviously, this person knew Xiong Ba.
"Why are all the people in the village dead?" The man with the eye patch asked. "Look at your bloody knives. You killed people. Why are you still asking?" Xiong Ba shouted. He pointed at these people. The blood on the knives was being washed away by the rain.
"If I kill you, what will I eat? You are my pigs. You provide me with food and shelter. Besides, if I want to kill, I will. " The man with the eye patch laughed. These people were his slaves. He didn't want to casually kill them.
"Bastard!" Xiong Ba scolded. His voice was sobbing. His eyes were moist. Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming patted Xiong Ba's shoulder. They exchanged glances and pulled out their weapons. Then, they rushed towards the bandits.
With his own strength and the force of the horse, Zheng Ming directly split one of the bandits in half. The raincoat covered the scattered internal organs. However, it couldn't cover the red stains.
"I'll kill you." Xiong Ba shouted. He rushed over and picked up a weapon. He slashed at the bandits without any pattern. "Kid, get the hell out of here." The man with the eye patch sent the knife in Xiong Ba's hand flying. Because of the difference in strength, Xiong Ba fell to the ground. He looked at the man with the eye patch's knife getting closer and closer to his head.
"Dang." Think about it after you get past me. Liu Zhong blocked the knife. Zheng Ming also took the opportunity to bring Xiong Ba out of the crowd. Then, he turned around and fought with the man with the eye patch together with Liu Zhong.
Although Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming's internal force wasn't very deep, the two of them had a tacit understanding. Furthermore, their horse riding skills were very good. Nie Li took a deep look at them. "They are indeed from the military," Little Mo said softly.
"You already knew." Nie Li looked at Little Mo. "It's obvious. It's just that your eyesight is not good enough. The two of them won't be able to hold on for long. It's your turn." Little Mo said with a hint of ridicule.
Although Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming had a good understanding of each other, the difference in strength and the harassment of others made them scared. There were several times when they felt that they had brushed past death. However, they were still somewhat calm. After all, they had fought on the battlefield so many times.
"Die!" The man with the eye patch seized the opportunity and prepared to take Zheng Ming's heart with a knife. He also noticed the difference between Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming. One had great strength, while the other had amazing defense. A few knives landed on Liu Zhong's body, but they were only shallow wounds.
"Ding." A long arrow pierced through the sky. The man with the eye patch withdrew his knife and blocked the arrow. He looked at Little Mo with an unkind expression. He looked at the silk thread scattered on the ground, floating in the rain. Such a soft silk thread almost took his life. This person's strength was unfathomable. Should he retreat?
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the man with the eye patch. Nie Li seized the opportunity and directly activated the third revolution of the Nine Turns of the Heavenly Demon. He patted the horse's back and flew into the air. His whole body was boiling with demonic intent. The gloomy sky behind him seemed even darker because of his aura.
"You two go away." Nie Li shouted. Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming hurriedly ran out of the crowd.
"Three Thousand Miles of Drifting Snow." The curtain of rain was filled with Nie Li's knife light. His knife light was like the rain, dripping with the sorrow of death. The knife light was like the rain, cold when it fell on the body.
"Dong." The bandits fell one by one. Blood seeped out of their raincoats. Even the man with the eye patch was not spared. The bamboo hat on his head split open and his head was directly split in two.
Everyone made a pot of porridge in a mess, and the group of horses fell down one by one. The corpses of people and horses fell into the mud together, smashing into countless mud spots. "Hualala." The sound of rain was still hovering above the silent village.
"Thank you, young hero." Xiong Ba quickly ran in front of Nie Li. There was a trace of fanaticism in his eyes. However, because of his red and wet eyes, this fanaticism was covered up. More of it was vulnerability and anger.
Liu Zhong and Zheng Ming looked at Nie Li's knife. They had not recovered from the shock just now. The knife just now seemed to be the rain, and the rain was also the knife just now. The sound of the rain was the only sound in everyone's ears.
"You should leave too! There is no need to stay here. Find a safe place and live well in the future. " Nie Li looked at Xiong Ba. Everyone in the village was killed. If he stayed in this remote village, it would be suicide.
"I know. But I hope to bury everyone first. After that, I will leave. "Xiong Ba's expression was a little lonely. Everyone thought that it was because he was too sad. "Let us help you bury them together!" Liu Zhong suggested.
"No need, I can do it alone." Xiong Ba declined. "Then let us part here. Thank you for your hospitality." Nie Li picked up a few raincoats from the ground and gave one to each person and put it on his body.
"I can't thank you enough." Xiong Ba watched them leave on their horses. The hooves of the horses stepped in the mud and passed through the village. Although everyone in the village was dead, there were no traces of destruction, nor was there any bloody scene.
Little Mo dismounted and casually walked into a courtyard. There was no one inside. After pushing open the wooden door, Nie Li discovered that the person had died in the house. However, there were no traces of the house being rummaged through. This was clearly not the work of bandits.
"What are you doing?" Nie Li asked. "I will tell you later." Mo Xiaotou checked every corpse. First, he opened the eyelids and then checked. He found that everyone had different degrees of wounds on their bodies. It seemed that they were cut by some force.
"Let's go to other houses." After Mo Xiaotou finished speaking, he got up and went to other houses. Sure enough, everyone died in the same way. They all died in their houses. There were no traces of the house being turned over.
"Let's go!" Mo Xiaotou sighed and rode out of the village.
Nie Li asked with suspicion and curiosity, "These people were not killed by bandits, right?" Whether it was the death or the scene, it was obviously not the work of bandits. Instead, it was more like an assassination.
"Yes, it was not killed by bandits. Whether it was the scene or the death of these people. Thinking back to what the bandit leader said just now, they also entered the village later and found that everyone here was dead. "Mo Xiaotou said reasonably.
"These people were all assassinated." Nie Li thought of the death of those people. Such a scene could only be an assassination. However, those people did not look like an assassination.
"Assassination is also considered, but in other words, poisoning." Mo Xiaotou's words woke him up.
