Ma bandit stone forest
The two pony thieves looked panicked and hurried into Mustache's kennel.
"Beard Beard, Sha Jiang next door is dead."
"What?" Mustache's face changed drastically.
He hurried to Sha Jiang's room not far away and stuck his head in to take a look.
Sure enough, Sha Jiang lay straight on the bed with a deathly look on his face, he was too dead to die anymore.
Returning to his house in despair, Mustache rubbed his belly unconsciously.
He opened his mouth for a long time before uttering a word, "Aren't the three of us fine? What's going on with Sha Jiang?"
The other two people cried sadly, "We don't know very well. We only know that Sha Jiang tried to detoxify himself after he came back. Who would have thought that he would suddenly die today."
thump.
Mustache fell down on the bed, feeling his stomach turning faintly again.
It had been three or four days since they returned to Mabandi Stone Forest, and their stomachs had just recovered and finally stopped making noises all day long.
Several people just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that what they took at that time was really just laxatives.
Now that Sha Jiang died suddenly and suddenly, their hearts suddenly started to pound again.
"That's all." Mustache's face was bleak, "Let's not commit suicide. Just wait for half a month and go to the west to get the antidote."
"That's all we can do." The other two were so frightened that they could only nod in the end.
In Shajiang's empty hut, the stiff corpse had not yet been moved.
At this time, there was one more person.
Ren Ning was sitting next to him wearing color-changing clothes as if nothing had happened.
As long as he didn't move, he had no worries about being discovered.
The elimination rate of horse thieves is originally very high. In addition, various poisonous insects are infested on the edge of the desert, and one or two pony thieves occasionally die, but basically no one cares.
Not long after, angry voices came from outside the house.
"Unlucky! You asked me to come over and move the body again."
"Is there anything we can do? We are new here and can only do the menial work of moving corpses. Just wait for the brothers to get ahead in the future."
"I've had enough. Let's get over here in winter. Everyone is so happy to grab money and women. I heard that all the girls in Luoxi are as beautiful as flowers."
"Don't make any noise because he's brewing. Just finish the work quickly. When you get back, remember to light a fire and smoke yourself to get rid of bad luck."
…
squeak!
The door opened and three people filed in.
The two people in front had dark faces, put Sha Jiang's stiff body on their shoulders, turned around and left as if they were carrying a piece of wood.
The third little boss walked around the room and turned over Sha Jiang's property.
Pooh!
He spat in disgust, "You don't even have any hair, you're such a poor guy!"
After saying that, he slammed the door hard and followed the two people in front of him to leave.
After walking a few steps, the little boss screamed, "Fuck! There are scorpions here, hurry up, hurry up."
The three of them quickly quickened their pace and soon disappeared into the winding paths.
Ren Ning then walked out of a corner of the room and sat back on the bed.
He patted the bed board with satisfaction.
good!
I found another place where I can rest peacefully.
In the days after he came down, he went out every night to investigate the situation in the stone forest.
During the day, I hid directly in Shajiang’s hut and mapped the surrounding paths.
It's actually a relaxing time.
Horse Bandit Stone Forest is indeed well-deserved.
Ren Ning has an extraordinary memory and can remember most of the roads he has walked. He also has a compass in his hand, but he almost got lost in this stone forest several times.
Gu Qian
The more Ren Ning turned around, the happier his eyes became.
This stone forest is really a good place. Not only is the water source abundant, but it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack.
With less than ten or twenty times the number of men and horses, they probably wouldn't be able to capture this place.
On this day, the only three remaining people in Mustache's house gathered together again.
"Huzi, half a month is due in a few days. What excuse do we have to go to the west?"
The reason why the Stone Forest Horse Thief has always existed is that it is even famous throughout the Xiliang Prairie.
One is because they are near the Desert of No Return team and are not within the scope of large tribes. The second reason is that the leader of the horse bandits has set strict rules and prohibitions.
It is not easy for them to go out without a valid reason.
"Don't worry. I have a plan." Mustache stroked his beard.
"Didn't the people cooking the fire keep shouting in the past few days that there were several snakes scurrying into the kitchen and eating some meat?"
"Let's just do it in the name of catching some game and visiting some places."
The other two were hesitant, "We need good horses to step on, but it's not our turn."
"As for hunting wild game in the winter? That probably won't work, right?"
They are horse thieves. If you want to eat meat, just go and grab it.
"What's not working?" Mustache was confident, "The climate on the grasslands has become increasingly weird in recent years. Not only does it not snow in the winter, there are even snakes. It's really a ghost."
So what if they go out hunting.
I don’t know how Mustache told the boss, but on the fourteenth day, the other two received the good news.
The next morning, Mustache woke up early and felt refreshed.
"It's weird. I felt so good at sleeping last night. I closed my eyes and fell asleep until dawn."
In the past, listening to the sound of wind and sand outside, he would feel restless and restless.
Especially after Sha Jiang suddenly died, Xiao Hu was terrified every night, fearing that he would never wake up after closing his eyes.
After thinking about it, he touched his neck with his backhand, feeling a dull pain in the back of his neck.
It seems that I have fallen asleep!
After meeting each other, the three of them rode their skinny horses and left the Horse Bandits Stone Forest smoothly.
In order to deceive others, they circled south for more than ten miles before turning west.
On a hill to the west, Lei Er put down his telescope.
He patted the eagerly awaited dark horse beside him and said regretfully: "Zhui Feng, it seems that Lao Ren is not back. It seems you have to wait a few days."
Zhui Feng didn't know whether he understood or not. After slapping Lei Er hard with his tail, he ran over and hid with Ben Lei.
Not long after, three pony thieves arrived.
"Beard," the other two people looked around, their faces soon full of frustration, "it seems there is no one here."
If there is no one, they have no antidote.
Without an antidote, they immediately thought of Sha Jiang's stiff corpse.
Mustache was feeling sad, so he could only smile reluctantly, "Maybe we got here early. Let's go around in a circle first and wait a moment."
"I hope so." The other two people were helpless and had no choice but to wander around.
Just as they were about to urge their horses, their eyes lit up.
At some point, a tall figure appeared on the hill in front.
Because they were a little far away, the three of them couldn't see the man's face clearly. But with the iconic machete, they knew they had the right person.
Looking at each other in surprise, the three of them turned their horses and headed towards the hill.
"This Lord Merchant Protector," Mustache dismounted and signaled that he was unarmed before respectfully walking up.
"The three of us have arrived as promised, and we haven't revealed any news about the caravan. Look at the antidote..."
Lei Er didn't comment, just looked them up and down, "I remember there are four of you?"
Mustache couldn't help but grimace.
"Your Excellency, you don't know something. The one who didn't come is called Sha Jiang. After he returned, he intended to reveal the news about the caravan to the forward. We had no choice but to..."
"That's right!" The other two people nodded wildly, "Sir Shang Hu, although we are horse thieves, we are also reputable horse thieves. Since we promised to keep the news about your caravan, we must do it."
"That boy Sha Jiang doesn't care about credibility. We have no choice but to strike first!"
