"Due to the spread of the war, many people in our village have fled. Now most of the people staying in the village are old, weak, women and children."
Wang Lingling explained, her voice gentle, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
At this moment, a trembling figure slowly stepped forward.
"Xiaoling, you went to the mountain to collect mushrooms and came back?"
"Hey, why is there a young man following you? This young man is quite handsome."
The speaker was an elderly woman.
She walked forward tremblingly and looked at Yang Dong seriously.
Yang Dong felt a little uncomfortable with the fiery gaze, so he wanted to change the subject and asked about the banditry.
"My dear, Yang Dong, I met an enemy on the road. Fortunately, I was saved by Miss Wang."
"I heard from Miss Wang that our village was suffering from banditry, so I came here to help suppress the bandits."
Hearing this, the old woman's eyes lit up.
"Are you willing to help our village suppress bandits?"
"Okay, that's great!"
"Those damn bandits, they just want to take away our food and make everyone in our village starve to death!"
At this point, the old woman was already filled with indignation. She coughed heavily and then continued:
"Speaking of which, the bandit leader, nicknamed San Ban Axe, is one of the most prominent bandits from all over the country."
"Young man, I think you are young, but are you confident in dealing with these people? They are all murderous devils!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Dong just smiled faintly and said;
"Please rest assured, I am still confident in dealing with ordinary bandits."
"So good!"
The old woman patted Yang Dong's shoulder excitedly and continued:
"Those bandits threatened to come to our Wangjia Village tomorrow and steal thousands of kilograms of food. In that case, I'll leave it to the young hero to take care of tomorrow."
When Yang Dong heard this, the expression on his face froze slightly. But he hid it very well and was not noticed by others at all.
Wait, there seems to be something wrong with this matter!
Logically speaking, shouldn't bandits commit robberies at night or when they are unprepared?
Why does this Sanban Axe declare a battle as if two armies are at war? Doesn't this clearly give your prey an opportunity to transfer their assets as soon as possible?
And there’s…
At this moment, many doubts have arisen in Yang Dong's heart.
But on the surface, he smiled faintly and said:
"Don't worry, this matter is left to me."
"Okay, with your words, I can feel relieved."
The old woman patted Yang Dong's shoulder again, then turned to look at Wang Lingling and said:
"Girl Ling, today this young man will be left to you to make arrangements. You have to entertain him well, do you understand?"
"He is the hope of our whole village!"
When Wang Lingling heard this, she nodded slightly and said:
"I will arrange."
…
After the old woman left, Yang Dong suggested to Wang Lingling that he wanted to go out alone.
Wang Lingling naturally had no objection to this. She just said that there was a house at the east end of the village where she could stay at night, and then ignored Yang Dong again.
Yang Dong didn't care much about this. Because he always felt that everything he had experienced since he woke up had a strange feeling.
For example, Wang Lingling, who saved her, said she went to the mountains to collect mushrooms, but her hands were so fair-skinned that it was impossible to tell that they had been used for farm work.
Those jade hands were soft and soft, even more delicate than the concubines in the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Besides, there is also a strange feeling in this Wangjia Village.
According to Yang Dong's observation, the number of people in the entire village is only a few dozen, and most of them are old, weak, women and children.
In other words, if the bandits really target them, they will not even be qualified to resist, and they will all be killed.
But these people live here as if nothing has happened, and they don't seem to care about the bandits' attacks.
What kind of secret is hidden in this?
Yang Dong walked while thinking about everything around him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was an indescribable weirdness everywhere in this Wangjia Village.
For example, in this mountain village, you can't even hear a cock crowing or a dog barking!
This is not normal, very abnormal!
Yang Dong frowned, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to investigate Wangjiacun himself.
He looked around and saw that no one was staring at him. With a tap of his toes, he jumped onto the roof.
He wanted to see what the real state of these villagers was like.
However, the next moment, his eyes were attracted by a sneaky figure.
I saw a thin figure, who was very familiar with the door lock of a wing room, and then sneaked in without looking around.
Yang Dong was about to enter together, but before he could make a cup of tea, the thin figure walked out of the side room again.
The only difference is that at this moment, he is carrying a large piece of gray-grained rhinoceros skin on his shoulders.
What kind of operation is this?
Based on Yang Dong's understanding of the world, things like rhinoceros skin are extremely rare, so the price is extremely expensive.
It is no exaggeration to say that a relatively complete piece of rhinoceros skin can even be sold for one hundred taels of gold.
Then the problem comes,
In such a poor and impoverished village,
Why is such a precious rhino hide hidden?
And judging from the figure's actions, it was obvious that what he did today was premeditated.
In other words, this thin figure already knew that there was a piece of rhino skin hidden here!
Thinking of this, the doubts in Yang Dong's heart became more and more profound.
Because there are too many unreasonable things in this small Wangjia Village.
This gave him the feeling of watching an online drama. I still remember the era when online dramas were just emerging. There were countless scenes that were crudely crafted and so simple that they could be betrayed at any time.
The Wangjia Village in front of him gave him the feeling of being pieced together in a panic.
But unfortunately, Yang Dong couldn't find the thread that proved to be a gangster.
At this moment, the figure he was staring at was like a dexterous cat, jumping over the wall three or two times, and then quickly escaped from the Wangjia Village.
When Yang Dong saw this, he immediately became energetic. Because he had a vague feeling that this figure was the key to uncovering the secret of Wangjiacun!
So he hurriedly chased after him and followed him secretly.
He wanted to know who this sudden figure was.
At the same time, in Wangjia Village.
The old woman before was now kneeling on the ground respectfully and said seriously:
"Qi Lingjun, everything is now under control."
