Early the next morning, the gates of Ruan Xianbei and his two courtyards were knocked.
Noisy sounds mixed with the sound of rain came from outside.
Ruan Xianbei and Cheng Suisui hurriedly got up and went out. There was already a commotion outside.
Ganzi yelled at the door with red eyes. If there were not a few villagers stopping him, he would have rushed into the yard.
"Witch! A bunch of monsters!"
"It's you people who are here to cause misfortune! You will only bring misfortune to us!"
"Why aren't you the ones who disappeared?! Why don't you just die!"
what happened?
Next door, Shen Xuan and the others also opened the door and came out. Several people and the villagers looked at each other in shock.
Even Xu Pei came out holding an umbrella.
The same black dog they had seen before said to them: "Ganzi's sister, Apple, is missing."
The apple is missing? !
They barely slept all night, and they might have taken a nap near early morning, but they would definitely hear any movement outside.
But they didn't hear any sound.
"Why did the apple disappear? When did it disappear?" Ruan Xianbei asked.
"Hand over my sister! You ruined my family!" Ganzi was so excited that he couldn't listen to what others were saying. He kept telling them to get out, saying that they were here to harm their village.
On rainy days and at night, someone disappeared again.
Fear struck the hearts of the villagers again. They seemed to be stopping Ganzi, but these people also surrounded them. Some people hid in the house and did not dare to come out. Their eyes were full of surprise, fear, fear and uncertainty... ...as if they really did it.
Ruan Xianbei walked forward with a cold face. Gan Zi stared at her fiercely and spat at her.
"Get out of the way." She turned slightly sideways and said to the boy who was blocking Ganzi.
The young man unconsciously let go of his hand under her sharp gaze. Ruan Xianbei moved his wrist and waved lightly. Even the others did not see her movements clearly. Ganzi flew out, and the teenage man flew out. He fell hard into the mud two or three meters away.
As if time stood still, everyone fell silent, and no one even dared to step forward to help Ganzi.
Family ruined? Ruan Xianbei couldn't bear to hear such words. Why did she come here? Why doesn't her good saint act as an upright disciple of a famous family every day? She wanted to massacre the entire village in the blink of an eye.
Ruan Xianbei looked at him from above and sneered: "We ruined your family? You are really funny. Your sister disappeared. Didn't you find someone to search and rescue you as soon as possible, and you bitten people here like a mad dog?" "
"You just said that we hid the apples without any evidence. Then I can also say that maybe you hid the apples yourself in order to frame us."
Ruan Xianbei didn't like Ganzi, so he naturally spoke in a serious tone, which touched people's hearts: "You live in the same house and you didn't even hear anything and now you come to question me? Did you see me taking away the apple with your own eyes? Or? You said you went out at night and did some shameful things, so you didn’t find out when you weren’t at home?”
"Since you know that nights and rainy days are ominous, you should be more careful! You don't care about the safety of your own home. Do you want me to live on the roof of your house to watch over it for you?"
Ruan Xianbei was very angry because she had already died once. She didn't do anything bad, but she suffered a lot of malice because of the demonic sect that grew up in the world. She was not a caring person like Shen Xuan, nor was she a saint who liked to worry about others. She just wanted to save herself and her loved ones. .
I think I haven't slept all night, and I just squinted for a while when it was almost dawn. At this moment, someone with a partial Qinghong angrily cursed you as a murderer! It's because of you that this happened! Can you not be angry?
Thinking about what Sangzhu said again, I don't know how many outstanding disciples of the sect have been lost here. Why do they interfere in a place where the government doesn't care?
Are the people in the world not human?
Damn so angry! Sometimes I really want to bear it
Reputation means doing things that suit your personality.
"If you come to help us, you should keep watch all night!" Ganzi fell to the ground, shocked and angry, her body and face covered with mud, her face turned ugly after what she said, as if she could just pin Apple's disappearance on They will no longer feel so guilty.
"Am I a great god or can I predict the future? If that person doesn't come, we won't have to sleep for a day?"
"Why do we interfere when the government leaves you to fend for yourself? Isn't the life of our disciples life? Or is your life more noble than ours? Are you glad in your heart that it was your sister who was captured instead of you? "
These words were a bit hurtful. These were ordinary villagers and lived the most simple life. Ruan Xianbei's words directly cursed everyone present.
Of course Ganzi was the one who got scolded the most. He moved his lips and his momentum had already dropped, "Then you don't have to come."
"It's because the government doesn't care, God has a good life, and we happen to be unafraid of evil and act chivalrously." Ruan Xianbei touched the rain on his face and said loudly: "Death is not terrible, waiting for the day of death It’s terrible. Finding the culprit as soon as possible is the only way out.”
There were bewildered looks on the faces of the villagers. Most of them were powerless. Someone in the crowd asked: "Then what should we do? We can't defeat it..."
This sentence resonates with most people. Are they willing to live in fear? They are just ordinary people who are good at killing chickens and pigs at most, but they have never killed anyone!
"So we are here." Shen Xuan stood up and said, "I hope you can put down your guard against us."
Ruan Xianbei continued: "Catch the bad guys when they cause trouble. Fear is our biggest enemy. Staying closed in with a lucky mentality will have no effect. Today is your home and tomorrow will be his home. If we don't unite one day, we will always be together." One day it’s my turn.”
"So what do you want us to do now?"
Ruan Xianbei looked over and saw that it was the village chief.
Thinking about it, it was hard not to alert the village chief to this news.
Zhang Dashan supported his second uncle with a tangled look on his face. He was also suspicious of these people at first. The whole tragedy started from the day they agreed to stay overnight with passers-by. But hearing this woman speak with a clear conscience dispelled half of her suspicions. But the second uncle actually wanted to ask her what they should do. Do they want to listen to the orders of this group of outsiders?
"Please also ask the village chief to take charge of the overall situation. We are short of manpower and need the help of young people." Ruan Xianbei said to the village chief: "Sui Sui went to ask each household about the situation last night to see if they heard or saw anything strange. Shen Xuan, Tongchun, let's go into the mountain to look for someone and see if we can find any clues. If there is anything else you haven't told us, please tell us as soon as possible, otherwise it will waste everyone's time. After all, no one knows when that person will come again."
The village chief quickly named a few young people. Two accompanied Cheng Suisui to each house to learn about the situation, and the rest accompanied them into the mountains.
"Miss Ruan, is there anything I can do?" Xu Pei asked.
This person didn't ask Shen Xuan why he always talked to her. Ruan Xianbei didn't want to be with him, so he replied: "Senior Brother Xu is not in good health. He catches cold easily on rainy days, so it won't be a problem."
"Then I will accompany Junior Sister Cheng." Xu Pei said to himself, and also ordered two guards to go with them to the back mountain to find someone.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xu." Shen Xuan thanked him, and they set off with the others.
The few people were guided by the villagers and quickly figured out the direction of the mountain road. However, the sight was very poor in the foggy weather on a rainy day. The ground was wet and slippery, so they had to be more careful when walking, for fear that they might be injured if they didn't pay attention.
Ruan Xianbei is really tired of ancient times. When I went out to travel, I liked to see the mountains and rivers, exercise and go hiking with friends. Now I am really tired of seeing the mountains, especially when you are deeply involved!
Why are there so many mountains? Mountains are everywhere, here and there! If there is anything, there must be mountains! Falling off a cliff is also a mountain! The dream is also a mountain! The place where Xu Pei was captured was full of mountains!
No one knows the reason why she cursed while walking
Her heart was moving, but everyone found her cold face a bit scary.
Especially the few young people selected by the village chief. They are all in their teens and are most likely to have sexual feelings. However, their village is currently unable to protect themselves and they have no intention of proposing marriage. However, Ruan Xianbei and the others are much prettier than the girls in the village. .
Who hasn’t heard of the story book? What boy doesn't have the dream of being a hero? Originally, they were a little curious about these heroines, imagining that one day they might be able to become a couple of gods and goddesses with a certain heroine. Now, thinking about the arrogant Ganzi looking embarrassed in the mud, they only felt... Awe remains.
It turns out that good-looking girls can not only play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also beat people, and beat them very hard.
If Cheng Suisui knew what they were thinking, he would laugh out loud. The heroine is neither blind nor a Bodhisattva. There are so many young talents who are well-matched to each other and their brothers look down on them. How can they still like a country boy?
Are the people in the village particularly good-looking or extremely thick-skinned? Don't you think that the heroines are all here to help the poor, right?
Why not see if your body is strong enough to be beaten by the heroine?
Among the girls, only Ruan Xianbei went out. Cheng Suisui borrowed a raincoat from Axiang's house, but he couldn't show it to the men.
A group of people searched in the woods and became a little uneasy. Logically speaking, there was only one road here, and there was someone on duty at the door. Since they did not leave the village entrance, they must have gone back to the mountain. Some footprints could still be seen on the field ridge, but they chased them up the mountain. He was no longer seen in the woods, as if he had disappeared out of thin air!
"etc!"
"Something was discovered!"
The black dog squatted down and looked at the road in front of him carefully.
When he shouted, others quickly gathered around. The muddy ground was a bit messy, and the traces below were covered by leaves. If the black dog hadn't slipped here, he probably wouldn't have been able to find it.
Although it was barely possible, it could be seen that one person was carrying another person, because there were two marks on the ground, one light and one heavy, and they were very close. This would only happen unless the other person was unable to walk.
Combined with their speculation that Apple was kidnapped, they concluded that another person took her away and left a mark.
Shen Xuan also found friction marks on the trunk of the tree that came in from this road, which made him even more convinced of this.
But there are three different forks in the forest in front of you. Which one should you take?
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo, hoo!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and help me search you."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before daybreak, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
