Idle game leads to another world

As the saying goes, let's talk about two things separately.

When Yang Yiyi was playing Spanish bullfighting with Capibara, Zhou Yuxuan and the brothers of the Sixteenth Village were struggling to move forward in the snowy valley.

They had just visited the old site of Tiger King Village and did see a lot of traces of fighting, but compared to the previous simple investigation, Zhou Yuxuan brought more people this time, and the group went in to check it out.

Tiger King Village was deserted, but it was not that the whole family was wiped out, but they left on their own.

Zhou Yuxuan and others found that the gold and silver in Tiger King Village had been packed up and taken away, and they left in a hurry. There were still some gold and silver ingots on the ground.

If only the gold and silver were gone, it might have been robbed, but the food in the warehouse was also packed up and taken away. Moreover, Zhou Yuxuan also found several new graves nearby. Judging from the time of groundbreaking, it should not exceed one month.

Perhaps the Tiger King Village was attacked in some way. The people of the Tiger King Village killed the attackers, but they also suffered heavy losses. So they buried the dead and took away the gold, silver, and food. The people of the Tiger King Village ran to other places for refuge.

This made Zhou Yuxuan feel a little relieved. At least it showed that there must be people alive in the Tiger King Village. The question was, where were the people?

Although the Tiger King Village was a bandit who specialized in robbing northerners, they were also like many bandits. It was a standard operation for a cunning rabbit to have three burrows.

They would migrate between different strongholds from time to time to avoid being wiped out.

After all, with the Tiger King Village's style of doing things, it was not a strange thing for northerners to secretly cross the border and come to seek revenge.

Zhou Yuxuan knew the three strongholds of the Tiger King Village. He had just seen one of them. Now he was going to the direction of the next hiding place to see if the people of the Tiger King Village were there.

Even if the heroes of the Sixteen Villages were all light-hearted and floated on water, in the wind and snow, even if Shi Qian came, he had to walk honestly and could not float at all.

Strong winds and blizzards would seriously interfere with vision. In order to move more concealed in the mountains, everyone did not light torches. Everyone had to take care of each other to avoid getting separated while walking.

Fortunately, it was not snowing on Zhou Yuxuan's side. The stars and the moon could be vaguely seen in the sky. With these faint lights, it was enough for the thieves who had been active in the dark for a long time.

He moved forward in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. After crossing a hillside, Zhou Yuxuan saw that there seemed to be a flickering fire not far away.

This made everyone feel refreshed. After all, they had been walking in the snowy mountains for a long time. Seeing the fire meant that there were people.

But Zhou Yuxuan thought it was better to be careful. This matter was more or less weird.

The relationship between Huwangzhai and the government is actually quite good. Unlike the collusion between officials and bandits like the Haishi Gang, although Huwangzhai is also a bandit, because they only rob people from the north, the border troops turn a blind eye to them, and they are even considered a civilian organization against outsiders, just short of getting an official robbery license.

Let alone who attacked Huwangzhai, since the people of Huwangzhai have escaped, they should also settle down in towns and other places, which is more comfortable than living in the mountains.

However, the officials in the town knew nothing about the situation of Huwangzhai.

Either the officials lied, and the people of Huwangzhai went for help but were rejected. Or, there is another hidden story.

And this hidden story, Zhou Yuxuan thinks it should be related to the monster.

Facing the fire not far away, Zhou Yuxuan made a gesture, and the heroes of the Sixteen Villages dispersed, supporting each other and slowly approaching the direction of the fire.

The fire came from a huge cave below the hillside. The top of the cave is about 30 to 40 meters high. When you get close to it, you can even hear the sound of running water. It is a place with running water.

The entrance of the cave is curled up under the hillside, which is covered with snow. This is why it will be discovered if you light a torch at night. If it is sunny during the day, you really can't find this location without someone to lead you.

Zhou Yuxuan first looked outside the cave and saw that the entrance was blocked by a wall erected with wood in advance. There were also people standing on the tower on the wall holding torches and observing and guarding.

The sentry had a tiger head or the word "king" embroidered on his back, which meant that he was from the Tiger King Village.

But the officials in the city had said before that there were monsters wearing the clothes of the Tiger King Village. For a while, Zhou Yuxuan couldn't judge whether the person guarding the door was a human or a monster.

Zhou Yuxuan thought about it and decided to take a risk.

He led people into the cave and was discovered by the sentry after just a few steps.

"Who is it!"

"Zhou Yuxuan from the Sixteenth Village, bring the brothers to see."

"Who are you looking for!"

"There is a cloud in the sky, a handful of soil on the ground, there is no king in the mountain, and a big insect is lurking in it."

When the other side heard this, even Zhou Yuxuan could see that the sentry was delighted.

"You are really a brother from the Sixteenth Village. Wait a minute, I will report it now."

Whether it is a bandit or a thief, all kinds of people have their own jargon.

Just like the famous lines in Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy, what the king of heaven covers the earth, the pagoda suppresses the river monster, these are all jargon.

Outsiders can't understand, but insiders can understand it as soon as they hear it.

Especially among bandits, jargon is used the most, mainly because they are afraid that the officers and soldiers will sneak in as an insider.

Just now, the sentry asked Zhou Yuxuan who he was looking for. He said that there was a cloud in the sky, which refers to a horizontal line, and a handful of soil on the ground, which refers to the word "soil".

Add them together, it is a king.

The latter sentence is that there is no king in the mountain, and the big insect is lurking in it.

Da Chong is a tiger, which corresponds to the Chinese character for tiger.

It means, I came to find Wang Hu, and this Wang Hu happened to be the leader of Tiger King Village.

Except for the people in the village, all the people who knew this were friends. No wonder the sentry knew that the person coming must be from the Sixteenth Village.

The reason why Tiger King Village was called this name was because the leader was called Wang Hu, and there was a word "Wang" printed on the tiger's head.

——Don't expect the bandits to have any meaningful names.

Everyone waited outside the village gate for a while, and soon heard the noise of the door hinge turning. A middle-aged man with a sturdy back and a bald head ran out wearing a bear skin without shoes.

"Oh! It's really Brother Zhou, Brother Wang, I didn't expect you to come."

Zhou Yuxuan clasped his fists:

"Brother Wang seems to be fine, and I'm finally relieved."

Zhou Yuxuan has a good relationship with Wang Hu. The two of them are brothers, and they are not just polite words. If it weren't for the age inappropriateness, the two of them would have sworn brotherhood long ago.

Because of their good relationship, Zhou Yuxuan didn't waste any words and asked directly:

"Brother Wang, you were staying well in your hometown, why did you come here and make me look for you so hard."

"Brother, you don't know, the village is in big trouble recently!"

Just when he was about to ask in detail, he heard a clear wolf howl coming from outside the cave.

Wang Hu's face changed, and he quickly dragged Zhou Yuxuan to the village:

"This place is very unsafe, brother, come in quickly, otherwise you will be attacked by monsters later."

Monsters attacking?

It seems that Zhou Yuxuan was right. The hidden story of Tiger King Village is indeed related to monsters.
