Chapter 1695 Tiger King Village

The so-called two sides of the conversation, each with its own side.

While Yang Yiyi was playing Spanish bullfighting with Capibara, Zhou Yuxuan and the brothers from the Sixteenth Village were struggling forward in the snow-covered valley.

They had just been to the former site of the Tiger King Village and indeed saw a lot of signs of fighting. However, compared to the previous simple investigation by sending people, Zhou Yuxuan brought more people this time, and they went in for a thorough inspection.

The Tiger King Village is now deserted, but the entire family was not wiped out, but left on their own.

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

If only the gold and silver were missing, they might have been robbed, but the food in the warehouse was also packed up and taken away. Zhou Yuxuan also found several new graves nearby, and judging from the time of the groundbreaking, it should not have been more than a month.

Perhaps Tiger King Village came under some kind of attack. The people of Tiger King Village killed the attackers, but they also suffered heavy casualties. So they buried the dead, took their gold, silver, valuables and food, and fled to other places for refuge.

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

Although Huwangzhai is a group of bandits who specialize in robbing people from the north, they are also like many other bandits, and having three burrows is their standard operation.

From time to time they would migrate between different strongholds to avoid being wiped out at once.

After all, given the way Tiger King Village does things, it's not surprising that some people from the north would secretly cross the border to seek revenge.

Zhou Yuxuan knew the three strongholds of Tiger King Village. He had just visited one of them. Now he was heading towards the next hiding place to see if anyone from Tiger King Village was there.

Even though the heroes of the Sixteen Villages were all good at lightness skills and could float on water, in the wind and snow, even if Shi Qian came, he would have to walk steadily and would not be able to float at all.

Strong winds and heavy snow would seriously interfere with vision. In order to move more covertly in the mountains, no torches were lit. Everyone had to take care of each other so as not to get separated while walking.

Fortunately, it didn't snow on Zhou Yuxuan's side, and the stars and the moon could be vaguely seen in the sky. These faint lights were enough for the thieves who had been operating in the dark for a long time.

Zhou Yuxuan moved forward in the snow, taking one deep step and one shallow step, and climbed over a hillside. At this time, he saw a flickering fire not far away.

This made everyone feel more energetic. After all, they had been walking in the snowy mountains for half a day, and seeing the fire meant that there were people there.

But Zhou Yuxuan thought it would be better to be careful, as 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. They are even regarded as a civilian organization against outsiders, and the only thing missing is an official robbery license.

Regardless of who attacked Tiger King Village, since the people from Tiger King Village escaped, they should have settled down in towns or other places. At least it would be more comfortable than living in the mountains.

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

Either the officials lied, and the people in Huwangzhai went to ask for help but were rejected. Or, there was another hidden story.

Zhou Yuxuan felt that this hidden story was probably related to monsters.

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 at the bottom of the hill. The cave was probably about thirty or forty meters high from the top to the bottom. When you got close, you could even hear the faint sound of flowing water coming from inside. It must be 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 can be discovered by lighting torches at night. If it is exposed to sunlight during the day, it is really difficult to find this location without someone to guide you.

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

The sentry has a tiger head or the word "king" embroidered on his back, indicating that he is a member of the Tiger King Camp.

But the officials in the city had said before that there was a monster wearing the clothes of the Tiger King Village. For a moment, Zhou Yuxuan couldn't tell whether the person standing guard at the door was a human or a monster.

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

He led his men into the cave, but was discovered by the sentry after taking just a few steps.

"Who is it!" "Zhou Yuxuan from the Sixteenth Village, bring the brothers over to take a look."

"Who are you looking for?"

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

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

"You are indeed a brother from the Sixteenth Village. Wait a moment, I will go and report to you."

Be it bandits or thieves, all kinds of people have their own underworld jargon.

Just like the famous lines in Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy, things like "the king covers the earth like a tiger" and "the pagoda suppresses the river monster", these are all jargon.

Outsiders may not understand it, but insiders will understand it immediately.

Especially among bandits, slang is used the most, mainly because they are afraid that government soldiers will sneak in and act as accomplices.

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

Add them together and you have a king.

The latter sentence means there is no king in the mountains, and big beasts are lurking in them.

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

What I mean is, I came to find Wang Hu, and this Wang Hu happened to be the leader of the Tiger King Village.

Apart from the people in the village, the only ones who knew about this were friends. No wonder the sentry knew as soon as he heard it that the person coming must be from the Sixteenth Village.

The reason why Huwangzhai is called this name is because the owner of the village is called Wang Hu, and there is a word "Wang" printed on the tiger's head.

——Don’t expect bandits to come up with 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 burly build and a bald head ran out wearing a bear skin without any 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 doing well. I can finally put my mind at ease."

Zhou Yuxuan has a good relationship with Wang Hu. The two of them call each other brothers, and it's not just polite talk. If the age difference wasn't really inappropriate, the two of them would have sworn brotherhood a long time ago.

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

"Brother Wang, you guys were all fine in your hometown, why did you come here? I had a hard time looking for you."

"My dear brother, you don't know that the village is in big trouble recently!"

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

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

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

Monsters coming to your door?

It seems that Zhou Yuxuan was right in his guess. The hidden secret of Tiger King Village was indeed related to monsters.
