Chapter 579 The Old Man Who Vowed to Take Revenge
"Quack!"
"Quack!"
This toad is about the size of two footballs, and it is a giant among toads. It stares at the old man in front of it with its eyes wide open and looks at him warily!
Yes, it is wary!
Because this toad has no feelings for the old man, and it is not raised by him, but by the village owner who died that year. But at that time, this little thing had just been cultivated, and its power was not great, and it was not even poisonous!
So, the old village owner did not let it go into battle. It hid in a corner and escaped.
But after all, it has the essence and blood of the old village owner in its body, so it has been staying in this place all the time, because this is the place where the old village owner has the most breath. Although it has long been gone after so many years, it has long been accustomed to staying here and regards this place as its territory.
So, when it saw the old man in front of it, its eyes were full of wariness. Especially the giant snake under the old man's buttocks made it a little discouraged, because snakes are still the natural enemies of their toads.
It was just that it was able to be cultivated as a Gu worm because it had fought among many Gu worms. It no longer knew what fear and fear were. Now it was just its nature to want to retreat.
"It's been so long since we last met, and you still look at me like that."
"Besides, this is not the first time we have met. There is no need for this."
The old man sitting on the snake head suddenly laughed, treating the toad like a child, and pointed out in his words that this was not the first time they had met, regardless of whether the toad could understand or not.
"Thinking back then, when we first met, I was almost bitten to death by you. If I hadn't escaped to that place in the end, how could I still be alive now."
There was no deep hatred on the old man's face as if he was treating an enemy. Instead, it was as if he was treating a confidant. There was no way. The only ones still alive in the whole village were probably the toad and himself.
Even the giant snake under his butt was found from somewhere else.
It can be said that he and the toad are the real dependents in the village.
And the old man was not wrong. When he first saw the toad, he was almost bitten to death by the poison in its mouth. That was the first time he escaped from outside and re-entered the mountain village.
Back then, he was abducted by the Japanese devils, walked out of the mountains, and took advantage of a very rare opportunity to escape. But before he went far, he was caught by the national army again.
Then he fought, destroyed the regiment, and then became a bandit.
Until the founding of the Republic, he was still a water bandit in a lake in the south.
And that was also the most glorious time of his life. He had more than 300 soldiers and horses, guns and cannons, and most importantly, he had a wife, the woman he loved most in his life!
Even for this woman, he could give up everything! He was completely crazy for her! He didn't even know that he could really give up everything for a woman.
He thought that this life might just pass like that, being a water bandit, occasionally doing robbing, and spending his life with his beloved woman, and he didn't even think about going back to Miaojiang.
Although he had just escaped for a few years, he still thought so and wanted to escape back to Miaojiang.
But all this changed completely one day.
Bandits are bandits after all. The establishment of the Republic could not tolerate them, especially when they occasionally robbed passing merchant ships. So, not long after they robbed again, the government at that time sent troops to encircle and suppress them.
And the final commander was Zhu Lin, who was already the commander of the Southeast District at that time! But Zhu Lin certainly couldn't go out for a few hundred small bandits like him. At that time, all the water bandits in the south were to be eliminated! It was a huge task!
He, Zhu Lin, was the final person in charge!
And it happened that when the old man was eliminated, Zhu Lin went to inspect in person, and the hatred between the two was formed at that time. The result of the bandit suppression was that the old man escaped at that time, and the old man's wife, his beloved wife, was killed by a shell.
At that time, the moment he jumped into the water with his wife in his arms to escape, he swore to heaven that he must take revenge! Revenge for his wife, for his wife who had sworn to love him for a lifetime!
You made me lose my wife, killed my wife, and I will make you extinct!
Especially after asking around, I found out that the person in charge this time was the bandit suppression commander Zhu Lin! He kept this name in mind! He swore that he would kill his enemy in this life!
And he also knew that the other party was the commander, and he was just an ordinary person. If he didn't have any means, he would never be able to avenge this revenge in his life!
But afterwards, by chance, he thought of Miaojiang! He thought of the village owner, and the village where he was born and raised.
"Poison!"
Once these two words came up, they could no longer be controlled. If the frontal method didn't work, he would use the side method. These two words may be just a joke in the eyes of others, just feudal superstition.
But for him, who grew up in a Miao village, it was like a life-saving straw.
Without hesitation, he turned back to Miaojiang and returned to the village of that year! Maybe he could find something from the relics of the old village owner, and maybe the old patriarch buried some secret techniques of poison underground.
Even if the old patriarch is not capable, there are others. In the village back then, the old chief was not the only one who could use poison, but his was more powerful and more weird.
What disappointed him was that he found nothing. The remaining devils at that time also dug deep into the ground, hoping to find something, or some secret book, but to no avail.
He was the same.
However, when he was turning back and forth in the clan leader's house, hoping to find something, he was frightened by a toad that suddenly jumped out. Its scarlet tongue, like a whip, wanted to wrap around his arm.
But he had been exercising for many years and had a strong body, so he managed to dodge it.
Especially when he saw the blood-red toad that appeared, although it was not as big as it is now, it was almost the same as a football. He was almost scared at that time!
"Poison insect!"
These two words popped up in his mind, and then he ran away madly. If bitten by this thing, he would definitely be poisoned to death! It was poisonous all over!
What frightened him even more was that the toad did not give up, and chased him out when he ran wildly. And the old man didn't care about seeing the direction at that time, and ran directly to a mountain top in front of him.
The village chief's thatched hut is not built on the highest point. There is a piece of heaven and earth diagonally above it. However, since the village chief is stationed here all year round, if you want to get there, you have to cross the village chief's thatched hut, so it has almost become a forbidden area.
