"Yes, what Fourth Brother said makes sense." The man formerly known as Lao Qi echoed, "Fifth Brother, you have a bright mind, what should we do?"
"Well, I think the three of us must not show up in public near this village now, otherwise once we are recognized by people from the previous caravan, it will be difficult to escape." Lao Wu, who was injured among the three, mused. After a moment, he said, "Now we'd better stay in the wilderness outside the village for two days, collect some food and supplies on the way, and at the same time find out if those powerful guys from before are still staying in the village to track down our whereabouts. . When the wind blows over in two days, we will go in the opposite direction and slowly retreat from the direction of the mountain. This should be safer."
"Okay, Fifth Brother really has a plan, I think this will work!" After hearing this analysis, Lao Qi finally calmed down and couldn't help but praise, "It's just that in this hellish place, where can I get it?" How about supplies to survive these two days? And those guys in the caravan were so powerful. If they really haven't left yet, and the three of us don't know how to practice, we can't guarantee that we won't be discovered by them even if we sneak into the village quietly. ah!"
"Haha, what's so difficult about this!" The leader, known as Fourth Brother, spoke again, his words a bit more sinister and cruel, "Have you seen the light over there? There are still candles burning in the middle of the night. There must be someone living here. After a while, we will go over and check the situation. If the other party's idea is too strong, we can secretly get some good things and escape, but if the other party has no power, hehe..."
"Ah? Fourth brother, are you going to do it again? Isn't this too risky?!" The fifth child was a little surprised when he heard these words. Naturally, he was cautious by nature and was not willing to cause trouble at this juncture. "Right now, the three of us still don't know if we are being targeted. If there is such a big noise near this village, I'm worried..."
"Hmph! What are you afraid of?" The fourth child was obviously a tough guy, and he interrupted the fifth child without caring, "I've already taken a good look at it. This place is nearly two miles away from the village. In such a remote place, there is no way to live in it on weekdays. There won't be many people coming and going. If you really take action then, as long as you destroy the corpses and eliminate traces, even if someone from the village comes and finds out later, it will be too late. At most, they will only think that the residents of this house are missing. , it would take several days just to search in this wilderness, and we would have escaped long ago."
"As for how to find out whether there is anyone guarding the village, it's easy. Just set an ambush on the road outside the village, capture a random person in the village and interrogate them, and you'll know; or you can simply go to the house in front and directly Torture the people inside. They are not too far from the village and must know the situation in the village. This will save us the risk of being caught by those guys and go to the village to investigate." The fourth child continued to be sinister. said.
"But this..." Lao Wu obviously still wanted to refute.
"Forget it, Fifth Brother. I don't think there's anything wrong with Fourth Brother's approach. We can't afford to offend those cultivators. Do we still have to be ridden by these unscrupulous people in the backwoods? Since a few days ago, Being chased by those bastards all the time, I have been holding back my anger and have nowhere to vent it! Fifth brother, if you can't do this, just stay here. You're not injured anyway and it's inconvenient to move, so don't worry. Leave it to me and fourth brother. We won't go wrong if we go. First, let's get rid of the family in front of us." I heard that Lao Qi was eager to try, and he couldn't wait to do it. His fiery temper I don't want to be buried in this messy grass all night doing nothing.
At this time, Tian Jihong's anger had overcome his inner anxiety. It is not difficult to judge from the words of these guys that these three people must be the bandits that Uncle Shanda mentioned yesterday. They were probably spotted by experts when they were robbing the caravan and separated from others, and then fled from the mountains. Hidden here. When Tian Jihong heard that these crazy guys were actually planning to attack Xiao Fei at home, the rising anger in his heart almost made him dizzy, and he wished he could just go forward and fight these guys to the death.
Fortunately, he calmed down at the last moment and carefully analyzed the current situation in his mind. Now that they plan to attack Xiao Fei at home immediately, they will definitely not have time to go back to the village to find help. Tianjihong's first consideration was whether he could intimidate a few people from a distance by shouting loudly and moving around to hide his position so that the other party could not figure out the situation. However, he quickly rejected this plan: these few people People are all desperadoes, the kind who have no fear of heaven or earth. It may be difficult to sway them simply by trickery without showing up. Who knows what they will do after being forced to jump over the wall. What happened? Moreover, he was alone in the wilderness and far away from the village. Coupled with his immature voice, it was difficult for a few people not to see that he was bluffing.
The most beneficial thing for Tianjihong today is that they still don't know his existence, and they can't know their position and true strength. If you rashly shout to alert the enemy at this time, you will only lose such a huge advantage. Now the best way is to secretly follow the two people who made the move when the three of them are about to separate, and look for the right moment to be ready to launch a surprise attack at any time; it will be difficult for the opponent to react if you preemptively strike, so there will be a huge risk. There is a chance that they can be subdued directly.
Tianjihong took a deep breath. When he was a child, under the guidance of his father, he practiced body training unremittingly every day, and he had experienced all kinds of suffering. Such training has made Tianjihong stronger than ordinary people since he was a child. Although his strength is not comparable to that of monks, he still has the confidence to defeat these incompetent people in front of him with his strength and speed far beyond ordinary people. A gangster who knows how to practice.
However, although during this practice, his father had taught him many practical methods and experiences; but now that he is only 12 years old, to be honest, Tianjihong has never had the experience of fighting with others in real life, let alone the life and death situation like today. Duel. The opponent is a desperado who has been around for many years, and his combat experience and decisiveness must far exceed his own; even though he may be able to suppress his opponent in a short time through his physical advantage, once he is dragged into a head-on battle, the opponent will rely on his rich His experience and proficiency will definitely make up for his shortcomings, and it is hard to say whether he will win or lose if he fights for a long time. Therefore, Tianjihong knew that he must defeat the enemy with one blow, and try his best to knock down one of the opponents at the beginning to make them lose their combat effectiveness.
After confirming the plan, Tianjihong slowly followed the fading footsteps in front of him in the dark, and mobilized his full energy to pay attention to the disturbances around him. There were still slight coughs from time to time at the place where the three people had stayed. It seemed that the injured Lao Wu must have stayed where he was and did not follow. This also made Tianjihong feel relieved. At least for a while, he had one less person to deal with, which made him more confident. In the pitch-black field of vision, he was not very easy to judge the position of the two people in front of him at first, nor was it easy to determine the passage of time; but fortunately, they were very close to the cabin where his brother was, and the people in the room in front of him were very close. The lights gradually illuminated the environment in front of several people clearly. About two or three minutes passed, and Tian Jihong finally waited until the two people in front of him stepped onto the open space more than ten meters away in front of the house. He himself was still carefully crouching in the grass a few meters behind them, just waiting to take action. opportunity.
Seeing that the impatient Lao Qi among the two was about to run to the two wooden stairs in front of the door, Lao Si, the silent leader behind Lao Qi, suddenly had a cold war and hurriedly stopped him in a low voice: "Wait a minute. Wait! Something seems wrong!" At this time, more than ten years of experience in struggling between life and death suddenly gave him a strong sense of crisis, as if he was being targeted by the scythe of death. Not daring to be careless, he chose to trust his instinctive reaction, and immediately turned around to look at the dark grass behind him; fortunately, Tianjihong, who was extra cautious at this time, hid his figure very well, and his sight was so limited. At night, the other party still didn't find his location.
"What's wrong, fourth brother, why did you stop suddenly?" Old Seventh asked in a low voice. He also looked around and checked, but didn't feel anything was wrong.
"Something's wrong. I can't tell what's wrong yet. But you also know that although Fourth Brother, I am not a monk, I have specifically consulted the boss about this matter. I can occasionally feel it vaguely on weekdays. Until danger comes." The fourth man said with a ferocious expression, with a fierce light flowing in his eyes again, "Just now I seemed to sense another fleeting breath behind me. This breath was not as powerful as that of the monks, and it didn't feel quite right. Like those people in the caravan before; if there were a cultivator really targeting you and me, I'm afraid we would have fallen into their hands long ago. If it were just a mortal, then the two of us could directly capture it."
"Don't rush into the house first. To be sure, first find out if there is anyone hiding in the land behind you. Old Seven, search the area on the left. Be smart and retreat as much as possible if you encounter any danger. Yell loudly so as not to disturb the people in the room, and I will rush over to help." The fourth child then ordered in a low voice.
"Oh, okay." Lao Qi agreed with some doubts. Obviously, he didn't believe that there would be any danger in this wilderness in the middle of the night. He thought it was probably the noise made by some wild beast behind him that disturbed him. Fourth brother. However, he could not question the latter's order, so he dove into the waist-high weeds on the left and started searching.
