Along the huge mountain forest, Xu Mu and the other two searched for most of the day, but did not find any clues.
With no other choice, the five of them could only find a drier place to rest, warm themselves up and bake some dry food.
"Brother Mu, will you run away?"
"Probably not."
It was not just a guess. At this time, the five of them were not far from the intersection going down the mountain. Moreover, Lu Feng went to check and found no traces of trampling.
In other words, these five or six old bandits are still hiding in the mountains and forests.
"My boss, it's hard to find him at night."
Xu Mu didn't know, but now he had no choice but to wait for the sky to get bright again and continue to search along the mountain wall.
"Divide people into night watch." Xu Mu said in a deep voice. The whole group of people spent this day fighting and searching. It is not a bad thing to take a break for the time being.
Around them, it was confirmed that the old bandits had not escaped and there was still plenty of time to hand in the report.
The rain did not stop for a moment, and it was still raining continuously until the early morning of the next day. When Xu Mu got up, he found that the wet mist was almost soaking his body.
After roasting some dry food, cutting bamboo tubes and heating hot water, the five of us regained our energy a little after eating and drinking.
"Lu Feng, which side of the mountain wall should we go to?"
"My boss, from the south."
As a former Orion, Lu Feng was considered a little expert in the wilderness compared to others.
Putting on his raincoat, grabbing a plain knife, and carrying an iron bow and an arrow pot, Xu Mucai led his men, carefully following the direction of the south mountain wall, and slowly moved forward.
Not long after, under the investigation of Lu Fengqing, who was familiar with the road, a group of five people walked to the southern mountain wall.
Xu Mu looked up and found that, as Lu Feng said, the southern mountain wall had many more large rocks and scattered depressions than the previous mountain pass.
"Master, footprints!"
Lu Feng's voice suddenly rose.
When Xu Mu took a closer look, he found that there were two or three rubbing footprints left on a small side of the mountain wall. It seemed that he had stuck to wet mud while walking, so he ran against the mountain wall and tried to rub it away.
"Draw the knife!"
Clang, clang, clang!
The five figures quickly drew their swords and carefully guarded their surroundings.
…
Hearing the footsteps outside, Mo Da's dejected face revealed a look of cold astonishment.
"Grab my things! Steal them all!"
The bonfire became weaker and weaker, and in front of him, five or six old bandits were stabbed to death on the ground. Even Mo Da himself, covered in blood, sat tightly in front of several wooden boxes of treasures, protecting them closely.
Previously, when he wanted to stay, several old bandits refused to listen and wanted to split the treasure and run away, but he poured sweat powder on them and killed them with their heads covered.
A huge old gang has come to an end.
Mo Da still refused to leave, crying and laughing. From time to time he would open the wooden box to take a look, and after touching the grain of the gold ingots, he would get nervous and close it hurriedly.
Tap tap tap.
The sound of footsteps suddenly came from the stone path outside the cave. Mo Da was so startled that he hurriedly raised his knife and roared again and again.
In this life, not only in the inner city, but also in other places, he had been ruthless for more than twenty years. With his younger brother and adopted sister, he finally managed to find a way out.
But he was forced to do this by a group of killers.
Angry roars echoed in the closed cave from time to time.
Xu Mu had a cold face, embedded the torch on the mountain wall, and stared at the scene ahead. Behind him, four other heroes also held their knives in front of them, preparing to kill again.
On the left and right, this group of old gangsters have been killed by them.
"Brother Mu, why are you all dead?" Si Hu, who was walking at the front, sounded a little surprised.
In the scene in front of them, only Mo Datou was left, holding two swords and roaring at them.
And next to it, there were five or six corpses of old bandits, too dead to be dead.
"Infighting."
At the end of the road, Mo Da, the leader, has lost his prestige. It is estimated that the five or six old bandits are thinking of dividing the treasure.
But he was killed by Mo Da.
"Brother Mu, look at me!"
Si Hu was already impatient and rushed forward with his long saber in his arms.
Mo Da, who was guarding the treasure box, became a madman for a moment. Instead of avoiding or retreating, he grabbed a pair of knives and blocked Si Hu's way.
"My boss... this means that people will die for money and birds will die for food, right?"
"indeed."
Xu Mu didn't have the slightest sympathy. These old gangsters had killed countless people and done countless things to accumulate this amount of treasure.
Mo Da was so angry that he was no match for Si Hu. After trying seven or eight moves, Si Hu chopped his thigh with a knife. He staggered and rolled back, holding his injured leg and screaming in pain.
But even so, after a short while, Mo Da crawled back with his eyes bare, dragging his injured leg, and roared at Si Hu desperately.
"Don't grab it! It's all mine! Mine!"
Si Hu frowned. A man who hated evil and hated people like him would kill without blinking an eye. He swung his long saber coldly and wanted to chop off Mo Da's head.
Unexpectedly, Mo Da fell to the ground and quickly crawled forward two or three steps. The long saber was slashed to his back, and an increasingly shrill scream came from the cave.
"Don't touch my treasure chest! It's mine! It's all mine!"
Dragging his bloody body, Mo Da desperately opened his hands to hold several treasure boxes, crying and laughing.
"Brother Mu, he's crazy."
Xu Mu frowned, with no emotion on his face.
"Si Hu, the owl leader."
Si Hu took a few steps forward, raised his sword and swung his saber, cutting off Mo Da's head.
Xu Mu stepped forward and walked to the treasure box in a few steps. He only opened it once and his face was slightly shocked.
There are at least a dozen gold ingots piled haphazardly in the box. There are also dozens of silver ingots, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings on display.
The same goes for other bites.
According to a rough estimate, it is worth at least thirty to forty thousand taels.
If I had known earlier that this gang of old bandits hid such a treasure, I guess both the officials and the knights would have tried their best to suppress it.
Xu Mu did not expect that this good thing would happen to him.
However, it could also be a catastrophe.
According to the rules of the official office, no matter how much property is obtained from killing bandits, it must be turned over to the official office and put into the national treasury.
Xu Mu didn't want to hand it over. If he did, it would only benefit those corrupt officials.
"Dong, boss, I'm going to get rich!" Lu Feng and the others were full of surprise.
"This money cannot be touched." Xu Mu said solemnly.
He was a little worried that under the huge temptation, the villagers would inevitably have distracting thoughts. The few dead old bandits were the best proof.
"I dare to ask some brothers, how much money did I make in Xujiazhuang's wine market last month?"
"Fifteen thousand taels."
"The amount here is only thirty to forty thousand taels. I, Xujiazhuang, will be able to earn it back in just two months."
Lu Feng and others finally calmed down and nodded solemnly.
Xu Mu was not wrong. They were not just a small settler. With Xu Mu, their life would get better and better, and their family would become more and more prosperous.
"Listen to my boss, cover the box and move it back to the thatched house first."
Although there was no horse, Xu Mu was not in a hurry. He took his time and could walk back.
"Brother Mu, there is also a piece of silver armor!"
"This, this shoulder swallow seems to be the tiger head that only generals have."
Jiantun refers to the protective animal head hanging on the arm. It usually has the shape of a tiger, leopard, wolf, deer, etc. It is the kind that can only be worn by generals of the three armies.
God knows how these old gangsters got this Tiger Kui Silver Armor.
Xu Mu could vaguely guess that the value of this silver armor was estimated to be even greater.
"Si Hu, put them in the box together."
After disposing of the old bandit's body, the five people found soft and thick mountain vines, tied the four treasure boxes together, and walked slowly down the mountain in the rain.
