Devil's Army

At noon three days later, the Jackal hired another carriage.

He divided his team into two teams. He and Wei Ke, the male team, sat in the second carriage with Professor Xu and two classmates walking behind.

Li Hongmei and Wang Guoqiang took Professor Xu's three classmates and sat in the first carriage.

After leaving the Kuomintang-controlled area, Jackal's nerves began to tense up.

For safety reasons, none of them carried guns, and there was no one around to help them. The five of them had to ensure the personal safety of Professor Xu and others.

The more you worry about something, the more it will happen. The jackal was watching the surroundings vigilantly along the way. He noticed some unusual movements in the woods ahead and wanted to ask Li Hongmei and the others to turn around and retreat, but it was too late.

A gang of fifty or sixty men armed with swords and guns rushed over from the mountain and surrounded Jackal and his men.

"I opened this mountain and planted these trees. If you want to pass by here, please leave some money for the toll." A man with a full beard shouted.

"Okay, in troubled times we just want to make money and survive. All this money belongs to you. Please, hero, let us go." The jackal said to the bearded man.

"Good, you have good sense. I like it." After saying that, the bearded man jumped down from the woods, walked to the jackal and took the bag of dollars from his hand.

The jackal originally wanted to spend money to avoid disaster, but who knew that the bearded man walked up to Li Hongmei and Wei Ke's carriage, looked at Li Hongmei and the others and said:

"These two girls are good. Our village is still in need of a wife. Let them stay and you can go."

"Master, this won't do."

"Why not? I just praised you for being smart, but now you don't know what to do? If this works, the two of them will stay and you can all go. If not, none of you can leave."

At this time, another man holding a pistol came over and said to the bearded man, "Brother, you have a good eye. These two girls are really good. Capture them and make them our wives."

The bearded man looked at the meat in his mouth with a smile.

Li Hongmei turned her head and glanced at the jackal, who nodded at both of them.

Li Hongmei and Wei Ke pretended to be scared and hugged each other, their bodies shaking non-stop. This further aroused the bearded man and the man's desire to conquer.

The two of them walked up to Li Hongmei and Wei Ke, and stretched out their right hands to touch Li Hongmei and Wei Ke's faces.

In a flash, Li Hongmei and Wei Ke suddenly attacked at the same time, snatched the pistols from the two bearded men, clamped their necks with their left elbows, pointed the pistols at their heads, and shouted:

"Don't move, step back, and get out of the way."

"Okay, okay, move aside, move aside, be gentle. You can't leave. This is my territory, and all around here are my brothers." The bearded man said to Wei Ke.

"The Japanese are now occupying our Northeast. Our country is in ruins and the people are living in misery. You have guns but instead of using them to fight the Japanese, you are here helping them and robbing the people of their money?" Li Hongmei shouted.

"Girl, it's easy for you to say that. If we go to fight the Japanese with just a few dozen people, we will all be killed by them if we are not careful. You might as well come with me to the mountains and live a carefree life as a wife of a bandit leader."

Wei Ke was so angry when he heard this that he shot the bearded man on the right cheek with his pistol, causing him to grimace in pain.

At this moment, Wei Ke suddenly saw a man behind a tree secretly aiming a gun at her.

She raised her hand and hit the man's hand, knocking the gun out of his hand.

Li Hongmei also raised her hand and fired a shot, hitting the calf of a bandit who was trying to approach him.

The bandit sat on the ground in pain, holding his calf and wailing.

"Don't move, or I'll blow their heads off if you shoot again." Li Hongmei shouted at the bandits.

"Don't mess around, these two women are still cannon fodder."

Then the bearded man pretended to be calm and said to Wei Ke: "I have more than 50 brothers here. You can't run away even if the bullets in your two guns are used up."

"We still have this." After Hu said this, he raised a stone in his hand and flew quickly towards a bandit beside him.

The stone hit the bandit's temple, and the bandit screamed in pain.

The bearded man completely lost his temper this time. He originally wanted to rob a group of unarmed civilians, but who knew he would run into a tough guy.

"Okay, we admit defeat. You can go now." The bearded man said dejectedly.

"Tell them to step back, please give us a ride." Li Hongmei ordered.

Wei Ke put the gun in his hand close to the bearded man's temple at the right time.

The bearded man had no choice but to wave his hand and order his men to retreat and disperse to make way.

Wei Ke and Li Hongmei forced the bearded man onto the carriage and quickly left the forest.

"Girls, you have good skills. Where do you make a living?" the bearded man asked Wei Ke on the road.

But Wei Ke ignored him. She hated men who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

The carriage ran for more than twenty miles, and it was estimated that the bandits could not catch up.

Wei Ke took back the bag of silver that the bearded man had just taken from the jackal and threw it to the jackal. Then he and Li Hongmei kicked the two of them off the carriage and told them to get out. Then they ran towards Huludao without looking back.
