Chapter 156 II 21. Literati Character
Zheng Yuansheng saw Shan Tong's frightened expression, followed his gaze, and saw the brown bear, he was frightened out of his wits.

The others were also pale with fright and did not dare to move.

Zong Xiong pressed close to Zheng Yuansheng, Zheng Yuansheng held his breath tightly and let the brown bear lick his cheek.

Liu Qinglong looked terrified, his body trembled uncontrollably, and the branches and forks under his feet creaked.

Zong Xiong heard the sound and turned his head towards him.

Liu Qinglong was so frightened that he ran away.The brown bear waved its huge bear paw and rushed over, grabbed his shoulder in three steps and two steps, lowered its head and opened its mouth to eat.

Zheng Yuansheng was in a hurry, even though the brown bear looked tall and bulky, its running speed was as fast as lightning, far surpassing that of humans.It seems that Liu Qinglong's fate is more than luck.Suddenly, he saw a pistol on the ground. Without thinking about it, he picked up the pistol and ran over, imitating the movements of the Raksha people and firing a few shots at the brown bear.

The brown bear was in pain, turned its head, bared its teeth and yelled at him and rushed forward.

Zheng Yuansheng turned his head to hide behind the tree.

Click, a tree with a diameter of more than one foot was broken by the palm of the brown bear. It held up the bear's paw and roared at Zheng Yuansheng to slap it.

This time, Zheng Yuansheng had no choice but to watch the brown bear's paw fall in horror.

Suddenly, the howling of the brown bear stopped abruptly, and it fell down with a plop.

Shan Tong, Liu Qinglong and others saw the brown bear being knocked down, they still picked up the wooden stick and beat the bear violently.Later, when they saw that the bear was motionless, they couldn't help but ignore it and smiled.

Zheng Yuansheng was out of danger, and sat down on the ground.

Liu Qinglong helped him up: "Thank you brother for saving me, otherwise, my life would be here today."

"You're welcome. We are grasshoppers on the same line, and we should help each other."

"Yuan Sheng is right. We can only survive if we work together." The others nodded.

Shan Tong picked up the pistol he had left on the ground, and blew on the muzzle: "I didn't expect the Raksha people's weapons to be so useful. They made a few holes in such a rough-skinned and thick-skinned bear."

Liu Qinglong nodded: "If I knew it was so easy to use, I would have picked up a few more."

Zheng Yuansheng looked around: "There are many dangers here, and there will be wild beasts attacking at any time. Let's be careful."

His voice just fell.Suddenly, when they heard the sound of "chacha" coming from the tree, several people were so frightened that their hairs stood on end.They were exhausted at this time, and the beasts were powerless to resist again.

Zheng Yuansheng was looking around vigilantly, when suddenly, a figure jumped down from the tree and landed beside him, which made him startled.The next second, he was kicked over.

"The brown bear that I hunted so hard was shot to death by you boy. You accompany me to bear the paw." The visitor was wearing armor and an iron helmet, and drew out a steel knife to Zheng Yuansheng's neck.

Zheng Yuansheng tried his best to calm down: "Good man, speak up if you have something to say."

"Damn it! I've been staring at this brown bear for three days. Seeing that I can get a huge bounty, you just ruined my good deed." He whistled, and the same whistle echoed in the distance.

Knowing that he has a gang, Zheng Yuansheng couldn't help worrying secretly: "Hero, the bear's paws are intact now."

"Nonsense, there are scratches on the bear's paw, it is not perfect, and the bounty is greatly reduced." He looked at Zheng Yuansheng, "So you are escaped prisoners. You must be the slaves rewarded to us by the Qing emperor. It just so happens that I sold you to Raksha people, you can get back two horses in exchange."

Shan Tong held a wooden stick from behind and was about to attack him, Zheng Yuansheng stopped him with his eyes, and continued to deal with the man in armor: "Hero, we did not escape, we were forced to escape into the woods by the Raksha people with guns, you can prove it with the Qing soldiers. "

"Brothers, do you think he's lying?"

Hulala, a group of armored men emerged from all directions.Shan Tong was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, he didn't make a move just now, otherwise, he would be the one who fell on the ground now.

A man in armor came over and picked Zheng Yuansheng's chin with a dagger: "I don't think this little boy is a liar. Luocha people like to use prisoners as targets for practice."

"Looking at their distressed appearance, they shouldn't have lied to us. However, they killed the big brown bear we hunted. How can we ask the general for a reward with fresh bear paws?"

"These little boys are too hateful to destroy our plan." A man in armor punched Dantong in the stomach, causing Dantong to bend down in pain.

"At this point, for the bounty, we have to stay in this woods for another three or five days." The armored man who held the steel knife against Zheng Yuansheng's neck kicked him hard and took the steel knife back. "Take all these prisoners over there, hang them from a tree, and smear them with honey, hoping to attract another bear."

In this way, Zheng Yuansheng and the others became bait for the armored men to attract their prey.Moreover, the armored men tossed them in every possible way to vent their anger.Fortunately, after two days, the armored man hunted a bear again, and then he spared them and threw the leftovers at their feet.

Zheng Yuansheng, Shan Tong and others looked at each other, and Liu Qinglong closed his eyes: "A gentleman does not eat cheap food. Even if I am starving, I will never eat such leftovers. I would rather go on a hunger strike."

Seeing that they would not eat, the men in armor surrounded them with knife handles and forced them to kneel down to pick up something to eat.They stood with their heads held high, the pride on their faces was evident.

A man in armor stepped forward to step on a piece of jerky, held Zheng Yuansheng's neck and pressed down: "You eat it for me. Kneel at your feet and let me eat it while barking like a dog."

Zheng Yuansheng straightened his chest and did not move.

The other armored men laughed out loud, pretending to be watching a monkey show.

The man was impatient and drew out his dagger: "If you don't do what I tell you, I will kill you."

Shan Tong and others looked at Zheng Yuansheng in tears, waiting for him to fight for his integrity and be punished by armored men.

Zheng Yuansheng thought for a while, knelt down, and gnawed on the jerky while barking like a dog.

Shan Tong was dumbfounded: "Yuan Sheng, where is your character as a literati?"

"My lover won't be able to wait for me, and will cry heartbroken. Compared with her grief, what is strength of character? I want to live and meet her." Zheng Yuansheng tore a piece of meat fiercely, and chewed Swallowing down, making barking sounds from time to time.

Shan Tong hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and chewed the jerky.Liu Qinglong and others followed suit.

The men in armor laughed wildly.Only the armored man who used the dagger to force Zheng Yuansheng to withdraw the dagger, his eyes were confused, watching the scholar prisoners barking like dogs before, eating like dogs, acting funny and lowly, acting out his favorite scenes in the past , at this time, he couldn't laugh.

Zheng Yuansheng ate a lot of jerky, couldn't help vomiting, and was beaten severely by other armored men.He had to start eating again.This was his first contact with the armored man, and there have been countless similar tortures since then.The armored men beat and cursed them like animals, or tortured them in various ways.

Shan Tong couldn't bear it several times, and wanted to pull out the armored man's sword to kill himself, but seeing Zheng Yuansheng's firm eyes, he endured it again.
