Chapter 37 Launch
More than ten days later.
The weather is getting colder and colder. After the winter officially begins, it has already snowed three times, and the outdoor temperature has dripped like ice.
In such cold weather, Zhou Ming did not lie at home to recuperate, but appeared in a small wood ten miles west of Glen.
A big pit suddenly appeared in the middle of the path in the woods.
The diameter of the pit is about three meters, and the bottom is deep and the bottom is not bottom-out. The eggshell-shaped jade surface at the bottom of the pit is also dug very flat and smooth. After being sprinkled with water and ice, it will involuntarily slide to the center of the pit.
"Lian, according to your design drawing, we have already dug the pit. How about it, this pit is dug well, right?"
Standing at the edge of the pit, the thief Jero said to Zhou Ming, who was tightly wrapped in a sheepskin coat.
Zhou Ming walked forward, looked down, shook his head and said, "The depth of the pit is not enough. At least two adults have to add up to the height of the height to ensure that the people in the pit cannot jump out. This pit is still a little short. To be safe, dig it deeper."
"I have been digging for three days, and I'm still digging down? Who can dig like this day? It's almost enough!" A strong man holding an iron pickaxe stood at the bottom of the pit and complained.
"If you ask you to dig, what are you talking about?"
The dwarf Dom, who was also waving a pickaxe at the bottom of the pit, kicked the strong man. The strong man closed his mouth and continued to sway his pickaxe.
"Jerro, are the other things you need to prepare, right?" Zhou Ming asked.
"Everything is ready, it can be used at any time."
"Okay! Get this big hole quickly and it will come in handy in a few days."
...
Three more days later.
On the streets of Qiangwei Town, there was an unexpected figure that all the townspeople appeared.
Little Ryan did not die, but instead appeared in the town's small market with the help of Mr. Donny and his sister Alice.
Not only that, Little Ryan also bought a lot of gifts from the merchants, and gave them to those close neighbors who were familiar with each other, and told them that in three days, they would leave Glen and go to the King Capital to study, and they might not return to Glen and collect in the future. This farewell should be the last time they met.
The neighbors were very reluctant to leave, saying that the weather was so cold outside and the snow was so heavy, so it would be better to wait until spring was over before leaving. Besides, the injuries on his body have not healed yet. Just traveling like this and running all the way, which is not good for his health to improve.
Zhou Ming declined these advices one by one and told these neighbors to take care of themselves. His luggage has been packed and he will leave Glen Collar in three days. I hope they will take care of themselves.
Butler Bunode's house, in a room.
"After three days, are you sure you heard it wrong?"
"Young Master Baum is absolutely wrong. I heard Ryan say this with my own ears. Moreover, recently he sold all the cattle and sheep in his family and transferred the house to others. In three days, he would not have left!" said the servant.
"Bang!"
With his fist hitting the table hard, Baum said in a voice that almost crushed his teeth: "Lian! This time, I want to let you die without a burial place!"
...
Three days later.
Glenling Castle Gate.
"My poor son, if you don't live well outside, you must go back to Glen. Mom just has nothing and doesn't want anything to happen to you."
Mrs. Madeline was crying and she reluctantly pulled Donnie, hoping to take a look at him again.
"Mom, I will definitely have a good life. Goodbye Mom!"
Donnie, whose eyes were red, bit his lower lip, waved his whip, drove the carriage, and left the castle without looking back.
On the small road outside Rose Town, Donnie and Zhou Ming, who were waiting on the roadside with a package, Alice and the others met. They got on the carriage, and the three of them drove towards the west road together.
The carriage drove through the flat farmland and just entered a dense forest. A small pit suddenly appeared on the ground of the road, trapping the axle of the carriage inside.
"Go, go, go!"
Donny whipped several times, but the carriage didn't move at all. He was so anxious that he had to get off the car to investigate the situation.
"Master Donnie, don't be busy with your work. You can't get through this road today!"
A cold voice came from the woods beside him. More than a dozen servants holding swords and sticks in their hands gathered together with a dark smile and surrounded the carriage in the center.
"Baum, what do you want to do? I am still the second young master of Glen, and it's not your turn to act wild in front of me!"
Looking at Baum who was not kind to the visitor, Donny yelled.
Baum shook his index finger and smiled, "Master Donny, Baum will certainly not do anything to you, but the two people in the carriage..." His expression suddenly became extremely ferocious, and he clenched his fists hard and said, "They are all mine, Baum! I want to pull out these two bed bugs and torture them with the cruelest criminal law in the world. I want to make them worse than death, I want..."
"What are you going to do, Mr. Baum?"
A voice came from the carriage, interrupting Baum's words.
"I want to kill you!" Seeing Zhou Ming in the carriage, the fat Baum's eyes instantly turned red. He held the short sword and rushed towards him with a ferocious face.
Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff!
Before he got close to the carriage, a sharp sound rang out. The fat man Baum found that the dozen servants he brought had all screamed and fell to the snow, and even a crossbow arrow was inserted into his heart.
The unprecedented severe pain began to occupy Baum's mind, but the deep hatred in his heart kept him standing and watching his enemy get closer and closer to him.
"Mr. Baum, for the enemy, the best way to repay is to kill him as soon as possible, rather than saying so much nonsense."
Zhou Ming whispered in Baum's ear, holding the half of the crossbow arrow in his left hand, and inserted it into Baum's heart with force.
"ah!"
With an unwilling roar, Baum fell to the ground.
"Smack!"
A burst of applause sounded, and Jerro, dressed in a snow-disguised costume, walked over and clapped his hands and said, "Excellent, wonderful! The little guy, exactly the same as you guessed, this guy really couldn't wait to come over and die. There were fourteen people in total, all of them were killed by us."
"Why don't you clean up here and change to the next place? Today we have to finish everything!" Zhou Ming said to the thief Jero with a look of carelessness.
"Yes, yes, Johnson, come with a few people and move this body away..." The thief Jero quickly ordered.
On the other side, Donnie also took off the horse pulling the carriage, communicated with Zhou Ming for a moment, nodded, stepped onto the horse, and ran quickly towards the castle.
...
Castle gate.
A fast horse is running.
"Brother Edward is not good! A group of robbers came to the west of the territory. They killed Baum. They took off all Baum's clothes and hung his body on the tree!"
"What?"
Edward, who was drinking ale with two knights in the fireplace, was shocked when he heard the news, immediately put on heavy armor, took two men, rode on war horses, and followed Donny to the woods where Baum's body was found.
"Brother Edward, look, Baum's body is on this tree."
After dismounting, Donnie pointed at a thick tree.
On the branches of the big tree, there was a naked corpse hanging, as frozen as a dead pig. The corpse was swaying back and forth, as if mocking something.
Edward and the other two knights got off the horse, walked to the front of the corpse, and found that it was Baum's body, Edward burst into veins.
"Damn thief, I must crush your little bones into scum!"
"Do it!"
A sudden sound came out, and the ground at Edward's feet suddenly sank down. He and two other knights fell into the pit together.
"No, there is a trap!" someone in the pit exclaimed.
"The prey is hooked, go together!"
With a command, more than twenty thieves who were ambushing aside rushed out of the woods next to them. Some were holding a thick wolf-toothed stick in their hands, some were carrying a bag full of lime, and several big men worked together to carry a thick log.
"Spread lime!"
Countless white powder was thrown into the pit. The three people in the pit looked up and looked up. A hot feeling came from their eyes, and their vision suddenly became blurred.
"This guy is going to crawl out of the pit, smash the mace for me!"
Edward, who was nimble, stepped on the back of the Vincent Knight and was about to jump out of the pit, when several huge maces slammed heavily on the helmet on the head. After a severe pain and dizziness, he fell into the pit again.
"Have the logs been installed? Hurry up and hang them up!" The thief Jero, who was in charge of the command, said anxiously.
"Okay, OK, the log is ready, you can pull it!"
It turned out that after the rope hanging Baum's body was put down, a thick log weighing more than 500 kilograms was hung. It was opposite the center of the pit. It was pulled to more than three meters high by more than a dozen strong men, and then put it down like a free fall.
"ah!"
A scream came from the pit. I don’t know if it was the unlucky guy who was smashed into a ball of meat paste by the log.
"Prepare, let it go!"
"ah!"
"Prepare, put it!" The log was lifted up high again.
"Donny, you bastard...ah!" Edward's scream also came from the pit.
Donnie, who was standing not far away, heard the voice and trembled violently, and kept muttering: "It's not my fault, it's you who forced me, it's you who forced me..."
