Chapter 25: First Acquaintance of Huaneng (1)

A drizzle woke the members of the team from their sleep. Looking from the yard to the ridge on the west side, the forest was hidden in a thin layer of mist. The air was filled with a unique earthy atmosphere in the valley.

After breakfast, several people packed their luggage, and walked towards the Wild Wolf Valley deep in the mountains with Cao Lixiang.

The entire village is empty, and there is only so much sadness to stay here. Besides, the remains of relatives have been properly buried, and Cao Lixiang just wants to leave this sad place as soon as possible. Her journey back to her mother's home in Pyongyang City is exactly the same as the journey of the team's operation.

Walking on the small road in the mountains, the atmosphere in the team was a bit dull. The scene of nearly 80 villagers tragically dying still pressing on their hearts like a stone. Everyone was too lazy to speak.

Along the way, Luo Shiyin, Shi Tianji, and Bawu almost didn't say a word, only the guides Li Ruzhu and Xie Yuan talked to Cao Lixiang from time to time.

Through the conversation, Cao Lixiang told Xie Yuan and Li Ruzhu that her in-laws had a time-honored garment store in Pyongyang City. Before the Japanese came, the business in the store was managed by her, her husband and in-laws, and the business in the store was still good. When the Japanese captured Pyongyang, their parents-in-law died under the butcher knife of the Japanese. The only one left her and her husband to run the store. The business in the store also became increasingly depressed with the fall of the city.

"...... These hateful Japanese ghosts really wish I could kill them all!" Cao Lixiang revealed his deep hatred for the Japanese in his words.

"Yes, the arrival of the Japanese will cause many families to separate their wives and children and destroy their families. I believe that one day, we will defeat them and drive them back to Japan!" Li Ruzhu said in accordance with Cao Lixiang's words.

"After his parents were killed by the Japanese, the one in my family once shouted that he would die with the Japanese. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have gone to fight with the Japanese. Now he has finally slowly accepted the cruel reality of his parents being killed, but he can drink to relieve his sorrow all day long. I know that he had to swallow his anger because he couldn't bear to leave me alone in this world." Cao Lixiang said, his voice choked.

"Don't be too sad. Life must continue. As long as you are alive, you are not afraid of not having a chance to take revenge." Xie Yuan comforted Cao Lixiang.

"Yes, people cannot be resurrected when they die, and I understand this principle. But when I pass by the Japanese all day in this city, can we completely calm down? They are our enemies who kill our father! Especially my wife, as soon as I see the Japanese on the street, he will want to have an attack. I don't dare to let him go out." Cao Lixiang's words were helpless.

"Does the Japanese in this city strictly investigate those entering and leaving the city gate on weekdays?" Li Ruzhu asked Cao Lixiang.

"The Hanjiamen on the south is not too strict on weekdays. The city gates in the other three directions are relatively strict. Without the Japanese passes issued by the Japanese, you can't enter Pyongyang City at all." Cao Lixiang replied.

"We may have to go into the city recently. I may be wondering if we will trouble you after entering the city at that time." Li Ruzhu said to Cao Lixiang.

"Okay, no problem. Just go find me after entering the city. Our vagina is also very hospitable." Cao Lixiang was also very happy.

A narrow valley came in front of us. There were steep cliffs on both sides of the valley. A winding path with a width of less than three meters at the bottom of the valley extends to the depths of the valley. On the right side of the path, a clear stream flowed quietly from the depths of the valley, which shows that the path at the bottom of the valley should be a gentle uphill road.

"This is the Wild Wolf Valley." Li Ruzhu introduced to everyone.

"Wild Wolf... Valley, are there wild wolves? Could it be like I met a sniper yesterday, right?" Xie Yuan was still scared of what happened yesterday, and immediately became nervous when he heard the word "wild wolves".

"Look, you're so scared. We have Monkey Brother here, so why are they afraid of their wild wolves and wild dogs. Then let them shout again, and their monkeys and grandchildren will solve the problem for us." Shi Tianji felt a little ridiculous when he saw Xie Yuan's panic look. He said half comforting and half jokingly.

"Old Shi, you can't say that. My brother didn't just startle his monkey soldiers and generals, unless it was absolutely necessary. It's best not to say such things, otherwise my brother would be unhappy." Bawu reminded Shi Tianji.

Sure enough, everyone realized that Tiaotiao was turning his head to the side and no longer looking at everyone. There was a look of displeasure on its face.

"Oh, I said, Brother Monkey, I'm sorry! I'm always talking nonsense and forgot to take into account your feelings. You are apologizing to others. "I always apologize to you." Shi Tianji had learned about Tiaotiao's methods, and when he saw his words, he was unhappy, so he hurried over to Tiaotiao and bowed to Tiaotiao.

Tiaotiao then returned to normal, and Biaotiao followed Bawu and rushed with everyone.

"Actually, although this place is called Wild Wolf Valley, you rarely see the shadow of Wild Wolf. Don't worry," Li Ruzhu said to everyone.

"But why is it called Wild Wolf Valley?" Bawu asked.

"I really don't know." Li Ruzhu said apologetically.

"Why do you want to ask the question to the end? There are too many place names in the world that don't know the origin." Xie Yuan has rich geographical knowledge, so he said disapprovingly.

"Yes, some place names are customary. If everyone calls them like this, the names will be formed. As for who calls them first and what historical background they are, it is difficult for everyone to explain clearly." Luo Shiyin added after Xie Yuan's words.

Just as everyone was talking, the rain stopped. Looking up, the sky above the valley was vast and distant. The road under my feet seemed to suddenly become much smoother. The small team members couldn't help but speed up.

At this moment, a group of unknown big birds suddenly flew above the cliff on the east side. They seemed to be frightened and rushed towards the northwest sky.

The jumping behind Bawu jumped to Bawu's shoulder, making a "hissing" warning sound from hissing, and two pairs of eyes that were deeply trapped in their eye sockets looked alertly at the top of the cliffs on both sides.

"If there is a situation, everyone will disperse!" Luo Shiyin ordered.

The members of the team immediately lined up in the long and narrow terrain, with Luo Shi Seal and Ba Wu Tiao jumping in the front, Shi Tianji and Li Ruzhu were responsible for breaking the rear, and Xie Yuan and Cao Lixiang were sandwiched in the relatively safe middle.

With a long whistle, about twenty masked men grabbed ropes and swung down from the cliffs on both sides. As soon as they hit the ground, they waved their knives and slashed at the team members.

Luo Shiyin and others had no choice but to fight. This group of masked men obviously had good martial arts skills. They were all skillful in swordsmanship, and the Oriental Samurai sword in their hands was fatal.

Luo Shiyin led his troops to fight back against the opponent's attack while speculating on the other party's identity. According to the saying, the masked people holding the Oriental Samurai sword should be Japanese, but judging from the opponent's sword skills, the sword skills of these masked people are obviously different from the sword skills of the group of Japanese ninjas they encountered in Dandong.

Who are these people?

Just as Luo Shi Seal was working on it, the formation of the masked men who attacked Shi Tianji and Li Ruzhu was in chaos.

"Shi Lang! Big girl!" Shi Tianji, who was busy with fighting, shouted happily.

Not bad, it was Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu who rushed over.

That day, after the "Butterfly" Izumo Kumi escaped from Longyuan Temple, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu immediately bid farewell to Abbot Huijing and rushed towards Pyongyang. They happened to meet Luo Shiyin and the others in this Wild Wolf Valley.

Shi Lang waved his sword and drove several masked men who were striking at him and came to Shi Tianji's side.

"Where is the sir?" Shi Lang asked Shi Tianji anxiously.

"I was surrounded by a group of masked people in front." Shi Tianji replied.

"Ru Liu, stay and help Lao Shi, I'll go to the front to support you." Shi Lang instructed Ye Ru Liu, then lifted his body and exerted force, took a few steps to join the battle formation of Luo Shiyin in front.

Ye Ruliu helped Shi Tianji to deal with the masked man behind her. She saw the opportunity and waved the deadly rose thorn in her hand and stabbed the masked man closest to Shi Tianji. The masked man saw the weapon in Ye Ruliu's hand thorn in front of him, and hurriedly turned his head to avoid him. Ye Ruliu took the opportunity to lift the sharp dog-tooth thorn in her hand and lifted the masked man's mask.

Ye Ruliu's deathly rose thorn was originally a token of the leader of the gang that was passed down from generation to generation by the Salt Gang. Its appearance resembles a short sword. The blades on both sides are two rows of small canine-shaped thorns protruding diagonally forward at a forty-five-degree angle. Each canine-thorn is extremely sharp, and both sides of the canine-thorn are made of tin steel. The head of the handle is a rose that is about to bloom with tin and copper in a certain proportion. There are twenty embroidered poison needles hidden in the bud. There is a button at the sword handle to fire the poison needles in the handle, which can take human life within a hundred meters.

Ye Ruliu just lifted the masked man's mask, and Cao Lixiang, who was standing beside him, immediately screamed in surprise: "Little Master Kongming!"
