There is a vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth, and snowflakes are falling from the sky.
The north wind is freezing and biting.
The two figures chose a hidden place to stop, squinted slightly and looked forward, only to see a series of buildings interspersed in the silver-covered mountainside.
"This is Qingshan Village."
In the evening, the two set out from Shenjiacun all the way east and arrived at the foot of Qingshan Village in less than an hour.
Such speed made Shen Xingluo once again marvel at the wonderful use of snowboards.
"According to the location mentioned by Zhuang Kun, it is indeed here."
Perhaps because of the long period of heavy snow, the magnificent Qingshan Village that Zhuang Kun mentioned did not look so majestic, but rather a bit desolate.
Or maybe it's because there's no one?
"Speaking of which, what kind of person is the second in charge?"
I have seen the eldest and the third, but it is strange that I have not seen the second. Moreover, the leader of the village has led 150 people out for a month without finding him. Isn't it a little unreasonable?
"A libertine who knows nothing but eating, drinking and having fun."
"How could the master allow such a person to exist?"
"His biological brother."
"."
Well, nepotism is allowed in a small bandit village.
Cheng Xi shook his head and sighed, he really couldn't live without human kindness.
The descendants of Yan and Huang will probably never be able to escape the bondage of "human feelings" in their lives.
"Shall we go in after dark?"
"good."
It was already evening now, and the sky was quickly getting dark.
The two took off their skis and stored them in a hidden place, then sneaked into the most magnificent house in the village in the dark.
Because of the two "expeditions" in this huge village, there are now only about 50 people in it.
Excluding the young and old, there are less than 20 people who can resist, which can be said to be extremely pitiful.
Perhaps this is also the reason why they did not go down the mountain to find the backbone - they had more than enough ambition but not enough power.
"According to the map, the building at the back should be Zhuang Kun's residence."
As soon as Shen Xingluo finished speaking, he heard an extremely arrogant male voice coming from outside the house, followed by a cry of pain.
"Ouch! Second boss, you can't do this, you can't go in -"
"Go away! I dare to stop you, but who gave you the courage? Hit me!"
The banging sounds continued one after another, and from time to time there was a muffled sound, which disappeared after a while.
"The second boss has passed out."
"So unbeatable?"
Xu Jian snorted coldly, "Throw him out, so as not to hinder my important affairs."
"If this second master is thrown out in such a cold weather, I'm afraid half his life will be lost."
"Bah! Zhuang Kun has been away for so long and still hasn't come back. He might have died outside. I'm afraid of what he might do!"
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi were leaning between the two eaves when they saw a man with very frivolous steps push the door in, and then a woman's screams and insults could be heard inside.
No need to guess what happened.
Two people: "."
"Ahem, I remember Zhuang Kun put the letter in his wife's room?"
"My lady has a good memory."
"Then now"
Should we wait until they finish their business and go in, or should we go in now?
If you touch it now, you might see some inappropriate scenes, but if you wait - it will only be more embarrassing!
Cheng Xi encountered such a dilemma for the first time.
However, to her surprise, Shen Xingluo kicked the ball back.
"Everything depends on my wife."
Cheng Xi opened his eyes and scratched him hard.
You are a real dog!
Sure enough, men and everything else are unreliable.
"go!"
Cheng Xi almost said one word through gritted teeth.
Is she the kind of person who refuses to save anyone?
Although Cheng Xi didn't know what role Zhuang Kun's wife played, it was the end of a man's life as Xu Jian.
Shen Xingluo chuckled and jumped off the eaves first.
Cheng Xi followed closely.
Two figures stopped outside the room. Due to the shoddy sound insulation and anti-peeping of the ancient windows, they could clearly see what was going on inside the house through the gaps.
Cheng Xi only had time to see Xu Jian's figure before her eyes were covered by a pair of big hands.
"Don't look."
A low voice sounded in his ears, a bit hoarse.
Shen Xingluo picked up a stone by the window with his other hand, poured his inner strength into it and threw it towards the house.
A negligible sound broke through the air, and the people in the room slammed to the ground, followed by a woman's scream.
Cheng Xi can't see, but the rest of his senses are sharper.
The chest behind him rose slightly, and the steady breathing could be heard clearly at the tip of his ears.
She blinked slightly in discomfort, and the next moment she could see the light again.
Why? That hand seems to be hiding a little quickly?
Shen Xingluo had turned away his head, only revealing a section of his slightly white neck.
"Let's go."
The two walked in openly, and in order to avoid scaring the people in the room, they knocked on the wooden door.
But the woman inside the door was still frightened.
She held a dagger tightly in her right hand, first pointing it at the unconscious Xu Jian, then pointing the tip of the knife at the door when they came in.
"W-Who are you?"
"As entrusted by Zhuang Kun, I came to pick up something."
Cheng Xi started to lie seriously, "You are his wife, right? She is indeed a rare beauty."
"W-where is he?"
"It's good to be in a safe place with food, drink and sleep."
She promised that everything she said was true.
The woman's pear-shaped face showed a bit of joy and luck, and then she caught a glimpse of the unconscious man next to her, and her face quickly darkened again.
"What do you want to take?"
"A wooden box for letters."
The process of getting the evidence was very smooth. The woman quickly took the wooden box and handed it to them without saying any unnecessary questions.
This made Cheng Xi once think that this girl was a fairy who could not eat the fireworks of the world - in fact, her appearance was more coquettish and had nothing to do with the fireworks of the world.
"Aren't you afraid that we will lie to you?"
The woman's eyes were determined, "You look like good people."
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi: "."
But your husband is not a good person. Girl, is your logic really okay?
"Then we can leave. What to do with this person is up to you."
Cheng Xi pointed at Xu Jian, who was slumped aside, and walked out of the room without looking back.
As for Zhuang Kun’s wife?
A woman who dares to pick up a dagger and has lived in a bandit's village, even if she seems to have no offensive power, will still have a certain degree of lethality at some point.
There was no need for the two of them to worry about it.
From the moment they stepped out of that house, Xu Jian's fate had been decided.
Coming out of Qingshan Village was very smooth. There were not many people patrolling the village in the cold night, and no two experts were found to have broken in.
The way back was still very smooth, and it was much faster since we had already figured out the road when we came.
