Chapter 60

"Uncle Du, I'm not Liang Xiong, I'm Bu Ye, Bu Ye!" Seeing that Du Sanhui still had that expression, Bu Ye couldn't help but raise his voice.

Du Sanhui's face, which was twisted in a bitter smile, finally froze, and then he began to breathe heavily, showing signs of fainting.

"Uncle Du, don't be in a hurry! I'm here, did Liang Xiong do this to you?"

Du Sanhui seemed to want to raise his arm, but he had no strength left. Bu Ye had to take the initiative to reach out and grab his arm.

"Bu Ye, avenge me, avenge me..." Uncle Du said with excitement.

At this moment, Chen Qingyan and others also rushed over. Seeing Du Sanhui's miserable state, they all drew in a breath of cold air.

"Uncle Du, it's Qingyan. What's going on?"

"It's Liang Xiong... that dog Liang Xiong!" Uncle Du, who was almost out of breath, still said with a fierce look.

"Captain Liang?" someone said subconsciously.

Du Sanhui sneered: "Captain Liang? He came to our village for the constellation secrets! Last night, he took me by surprise, knocked me out, and then took me out of the camp, torturing me in every way to force out the constellation secrets."

At this moment, Gao Qun, Chen Qingyan, and others couldn't help but stare. Could it be that the constellation secrets mentioned by the leader of the Mangshan bandits really existed? And they were on Uncle Du?

Just then, Du Sanhui said bitterly, "I kept the secret of the constellation secrets, and because of this, I brought disaster to the whole village, ending up like this, not unjustly... But I can't bear it! I know the face but not the heart, that dog Liang Xiong! I have already handed over all the secrets I knew to him, but he still wasn't satisfied and gouged out my other eye..."

Hearing Du Sanhui's words, many people shivered. It seemed that Du Sanhui had one eye gouged out first, then confessed everything, but Liang Xiong still...

Bu Ye couldn't help but frown. If Du Sanhui had done something truly evil, it would be one thing, but to force out the constellation secrets, Liang Xiong used such cruel means.

"Bu Ye..." Du Sanhui, as if he had grabbed the last straw before drowning, shouted.

"Uh-huh."

"You are the only one who can avenge me. Promise me, avenge me!"

Bu Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "I probably won't have the time to specifically look for him, but if I encounter him or get any news about him in the future, I can go and kill him for you."

Bu Ye could only do so much. His deal with Du Sanhui was already completed, and he didn't owe him anything. If he agreed to help anyone avenge their wrongs, he wouldn't have time to do his own things.

Du Sanhui was clearly disappointed and suddenly lost the desire to hold on, smiling bitterly, his breathing becoming weaker and weaker.

However, just as everyone thought he was about to die naturally, he suddenly straightened his body and said with excitement, "I remember... Bu Ye, come closer."

Bu Ye didn't know what Du Sanhui was going to say, but he still leaned in and said, "Speak."

"I have another secret. If you go to Tai Ge one day, you will surely get a great benefit. If you agree to my conditions, I will tell you that secret."

"What conditions?"

"Before you get that thing, you can do as you said and not actively look for Liang Xiong; but if you get that thing first, you must actively find out where Liang Xiong is and kill him for me."

"What thing?"

"I don't know its exact function, but it is an extremely precious item in Tai Ge, even making the Prince of Tai Ge fight for it, and it is of great benefit to Awakeners!"

"How do you know about such a thing?" Bu Ye couldn't help but doubt.

"Get it first, see its value, and then decide whether to help me avenge. You won't agree to this?"

Bu Ye's mind raced, and he looked at Du Sanhui's miserable state, finally saying, "Alright, I agree."

"That thing is in the back garden of the Stone Mansion in Tai Ge... under the artificial hill behind the Liangxia Pavilion..."

"Uh-huh."

"Ha..." Du Sanhui finally took a deep breath, and his voice became weaker and weaker.

"By the way, Uncle Du, I killed the second and first leaders of the Mangshan bandits, and the remaining bandits have all been eliminated. Now, I'm leading everyone back to the village," Bu Ye suddenly said.

"Really?" the dying Du Sanhui perked up.

"Uh-huh, don't believe me? Ask them."

"Yes, Uncle Du, we indeed killed all the Mangshan bandits," Chen Qingyan quickly said.

"Ha ha... Good, good... I finally don't have to feel so guilty..."

Then, in just a few seconds, under everyone's watchful eyes, Du Sanhui's breathing stopped completely.

However, before he died, he learned that the Mangshan bandits were all killed, and the villagers could return to the village. His heart, filled with guilt and remorse, could finally be somewhat at peace. If you add Bu Ye's promise to kill Liang Xiong, he could die without regrets.

The villagers found farming tools and hastily buried Uncle Du, then set off again.

Bu Ye walked at the back, and when he looked back for the last time, he saw the small mound and felt a myriad of emotions.

If it weren't for Du Sanhui, the Mangshan bandits wouldn't have attacked Dongmang Village, and he wouldn't have been involved in this battle; but because of Du Sanhui, he had learned a bit of the third constellation, killed the third leader, and gained a significant advantage from the red light; Hong Zhongwei likely stayed in Dongmang Village because of the constellation secrets, and Liang Xiong was undoubtedly after the constellation secrets, all because of Du Sanhui...

Thinking about it carefully, Du Sanhui had changed the fate of everyone in Dongmang Village.

And the same person, in the end, died a miserable death, buried in the wilderness.

With a faint smile, Bu Ye finally turned around and caught up with the main group.

He had already decided that once he escorted these people back to Dongmang Village, he would rest for one night and then leave alone the next day.

From the back of the group to the front, almost everyone greeted him along the way.

The former prisoner, who was tied to a pillar and exposed to the sun, waiting to be hanged, was now the most respected person in the village, the savior of everyone. Yang Yuanda's death was seen as a benefit to the people, Yang Zhaocai's death as a just punishment for his crimes, and Chai Ren's death as a fitting end to his cunning and deceit...

Bu Ye had long seen through it all.

He responded expressionlessly, but even this made those who received a response extremely happy, thinking they had become closer to him...

Finally, Bu Ye reached the front of the group.

"How's it going?" Bu Ye asked.

Gao Qun said, "We're lucky. With so many people, ordinary wild animal groups don't dare to come near; we've seen a few fierce beasts on the way, but none of them dared to attack us."

"I hope we can return safely," Chen Qingyan said beside him.

Gao Qun nodded and said, "It looks like we won't have any major dangers on the way unless we unfortunately encounter a group of fierce beasts."

"Don't be a jinx!" Chen Qingyan laughed and scolded, then said seriously, "I went deep into the mountains with Captain Hong and encountered fierce beasts three times. Each time it was just one, but... those beasts are incredibly powerful..."

On the way, Bu Ye also saw two fierce beasts. These beasts, awakened by the star cloud, not only had a qualitative change in combat power but also a significant increase in intelligence. When Bu Ye looked at the fierce beasts from a distance, it felt like he was looking at a person.

Fortunately, as Gao Qun said, with so many people, a large group, even fierce beasts didn't dare to approach easily.

Three days later in the afternoon, the group was already on a hill, seeing their village in the distance.

Seeing the village still quietly situated at the foot of Dongmang Mountain, not burned down, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some even shed tears of emotion.

However, as they got closer, the village grew larger in their eyes, and Bu Ye was the first to notice a problem. There were people in the village, and quite a few! Had the Mangshan bandits not left?

Bu Ye immediately stopped the group and went forward with Chen Qingyan and others to see the situation clearly.

Bu Ye stood on a tree branch, looking far into the village, and saw that there were at least a hundred people moving around!

Did the Mangshan bandits move their base?

Impossible, if that were the case, they wouldn't be bandits; any group of soldiers could easily wipe them out.

Soldiers?

Thinking about it, Bu Ye finally saw the clue. On the left side of the village, a special area was set aside for tethering horses, with dozens of horses in total, and about half of the people seemed to be wearing armor.

They are government soldiers!

Unfortunately, he didn't know the seventh constellation yet; otherwise, he could use it to enhance his senses and see clearly.

Soon, Chen Qingyan and others, who had gone further ahead to observe, returned with the same answer: they were government soldiers from the state of Xiao.

There was nothing to fear, so the group set off again, slowly descending the mountain.

By evening, when Bu Ye finally led the villagers to the village entrance, Chen Qingyan, who had run ahead, had already explained the situation to the leader of the government soldiers, a commandant named Lu Qi, and learned about their origin.

Chen Qingyan returned, leading Bu Ye and others forward and said, "These are government soldiers who withdrew from the front lines and were temporarily stationed in Mo Ling in the southwest. Mo Ling learned about the Mangshan bandits' movements and sent them here. They just arrived today and were preparing to enter the mountains to find us tomorrow. They won't return to Mo Ling but will head north to Muyuan, the same destination as us. Now, Commandant Lu has already arranged for the soldiers to clear out the houses, saying that everyone can rest for one night and then set off together, with them escorting us to Muyuan."

"Uh-huh, you should go and tell everyone."

"Okay."

It was almost dark, and everyone had endured great hardships to return home, wanting to go home and rest.

However, Chen Qingyan had to stop the group and inform everyone. The 200 or so government soldiers led by Commandant Lu would also stay in the village tonight. Commandant Lu allocated the right half of the village to his soldiers, and the villagers had to temporarily squeeze into the left half.

When this news spread, the villagers were all stunned. But they had no choice; even if they had to squeeze, at least they would sleep in houses, not in the wilderness.

So the villagers quickly entered the village and were assigned rooms on the left side.

However, at this time, some of the government soldiers hadn't moved out of the left-side houses yet, causing some chaos.

When Bu Ye returned to his house, he couldn't help but frown because he saw a soldier moving out, carrying his own things!
