Outside Black Wind Village, Xiaoliu, who was hiding behind the branches and leaves on a treetop, did not really leave. Instead, he hid here and quietly observed the movements of these bandits.
Seeing that his counter-intentional plan was initially effective, Xiao Liu couldn't help but smile. The most difficult thing in the world to predict is not the plan, but the human heart.
Sometimes you may know very well that this is the other party's plan, but the grudge in your heart still lingers.
However, Xiao Liu knew that this little grudge was not enough to make the two of them fall out, but it didn't matter, all Xiao Liu wanted was to delay time.
Now that the seeds have been planted, Xiao Liu doesn't care about how they will sprout in the future, because Xiao Liu only needs that they can't combine into one energy now.
Seeing that these bandits had indeed returned to the mountain stronghold, and after observing for a period of time, no one from them came out, Xiao Liu also jumped away to explore the surrounding terrain.
However, this investigation made Xiao Liu frown deeply. The terrain of Black Wind Ridge was so steep.
Especially the terrain where Heifeng Village is located, in Xiao Liu's opinion, it is even comparable to the rumored three dangers of Huashan.
The terrain here has strange peaks protruding on both sides, about thirty feet high, and the rock walls on both sides are almost vertical like knives and axes. Even though Xiaoliu has achieved success, it is still difficult to climb without the help of ropes. .
Seeing this situation, Xiaoliu couldn't help but think of Li Taibai's saying that the ape climbs up to overcome his sorrow.
And while Xiao Liu was surveying the terrain, he was secretly thinking about whether there was any way to defeat the thief.
In Qixia Town, it was already dusk and the sky was already dark. According to usual habits, most of the people in the town should go home and prepare for dinner.
But this moment.
"Snap, snap, snap, snap!"
"Clang clang clang!"
"Come on, come on, people in the town, everyone is gathering here. I have good news to announce to you all!"
The sound of firecrackers, gongs, drums, shouts, and all kinds of noisy sounds sounded together, and the joy seemed to be celebrating the New Year.
The people in the town who were cooking pots and rice were also attracted by the noisy sound.
Even in the Lianfu Inn, everyone who was busy having a gang meeting left the gang leader behind and ran out directly.
"Hey, wait a minute, my gang leader hasn't finished speaking yet?"
Xiaobei was very depressed when she saw Lao Bai and others just abandon her and run out, but she quickly followed them out.
At this time, the shopkeeper who was melancholy on the second floor hurriedly came downstairs when she heard the noise outside. She thought it was the opening of Yihong Building opposite.
"What's going on? Which store is having a wedding? Or is it opening for business?" the shopkeeper asked curiously.
At the corner of Tongfu Inn was a government bulletin board. A yamen servant was holding a gong and said happily to the people who were attracted.
"Come on, let me tell you some good news. Today, Deputy Chief Yan and Chief Xing led a group of people to encircle and suppress bandits in Cuiwei Mountain. They killed more than 40 bandits. Now the remaining bandits have fled. ! Everyone no longer has to worry about bandits!"
After hearing what the yamen officer said, everyone was not surprised at first, but felt unbelievable.
'No way, the people we just recruited yesterday have beaten these bandits to flight today. Isn't this efficiency too fast? And they killed more than forty bandits. You only recruited ten of them yesterday? Are these people you recruited all martial arts masters? '
Although everyone said nothing, the word suspicion was written on their faces, and even everyone in Fu Inn didn't believe it.
After all, they are all residents of the town. Except for Xiaoliu, they are very familiar with each of those people. How many kilograms do they have?
Seeing the disbelief on everyone's faces, the yamen officer quickly explained.
"Really! This is absolutely true. Deputy Chief Yan killed more than thirty bandits in a row!"
"If you don't believe me, you can follow me to the south gate and have a look. Capt. Xing and the others are coming back with the body of the bandit. The magistrate of Lou personally went five miles out of the city to greet them."
Hearing the yamen officer's words, everyone couldn't help but believe it. After all, the Lou magistrate personally went out of the city to greet him.
With that said, the yamen officer led everyone towards the south gate without caring whether they believed it or not.
When everyone saw this, they all followed him. After all, you will know if it is true or not.
"Xiucai, you stay here to look after the house and continue writing the gang rules. The rest of you will come with me to have a look." Shopkeeper Tong also became curious and ordered quickly.
"I..." Xiucai pointed at himself depressedly, he also wanted to see it.
But at this moment, no one paid attention to him, and everyone was already running towards the south gate.
After all, the officer just said that Xiao Liu killed more than 30 bandits in a row. Is this the same Xiao Liu they usually know?
The shopkeeper was a little concerned, Xiao Bei was very curious, Dazui couldn't believe it, Xiao Guo was a little envious, and Lao Bai had alarm bells ringing in his heart.
Lao Bai knew that with the martial arts he taught Xiao Liu, although Xiao Liu could face the bandits with ease, it would be almost impossible to kill more than thirty bandits in a row, so Xiao Liu would definitely know other martial arts.
And with Xiao Liu's astonishing martial arts talent shown before him, he couldn't help but worry.
He originally thought that Xiao Liu and Lao Xing were just practicing ordinary martial arts, so he didn't take it to heart at all, but now it seems that he despised them.
Crowds of people flocked towards the south entrance. This scene didn't just happen on East Street.
In the West Market, Nanting, Beiqiao, and the county government gate, wherever there is a bulletin board, a large number of people, led by the government servants, flock to the south gate. They all want to see what the government says. not real.
"Miss, did you hear it? It's said outside that Yan Captou has killed more than 30 bandits in a row and is on his way back now."
In a house, Xiao Cui, who was full of joy, ran into the house with a crutch and said to Sai Diao Chan who was sitting on the bed.
"Really!" Sai Diaochan was overjoyed when she heard this. She also hurriedly hobbled to the door with the help of the maid.
They were also very happy when they heard the comments of the people passing by the door. However, their feet were not healed yet, so they could not go to the south door to greet Xiaoliu and the others like others.
They could only stay relatively happy in the house.
But in fact, even if they go now, they can't see Xiao Liu, because Xiao Liu is still in Heifeng Ridge at this time.
It was already dark in Black Wind Ridge. After Xiaoliu initially explored the terrain around Black Wind Ridge, he did not go back to Qixia Town, but stayed. After all, no one can guarantee that these bandits will really stay there obediently. In the village.
And there was a family in Black Wind Ridge. If something happened, Xiao Liu would definitely blame himself. So just in case, Xiao Liu found a local family to stay overnight and stayed to guard the mountain. thief.
Heifeng Ridge is different from Beikou Village. Beikou Village is located at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain and is a large village where people live together. However, the families in Heifengling live scattered in the mountains and forests, with each household separated by a certain distance.
In order to prevent the bandits from attacking, Xiao Liu specially found the house closest to the direction of the bandits to stay.
And coincidentally, the owner of this family is the hunter who was beaten up by Xiao Guo before.
When they first saw Xiao Liu with a knife and blood stains on his body, they didn't dare to receive him at first and the door was closed.
But after hearing Xiao Liu explain the reason, they quickly welcomed Xiao Liu into the house and entertained him.
"Brother Bai, you don't have to be so polite. Just get some food and Xiao Liu will be satisfied." Xiao Liu saw that this family actually wanted to kill a chicken to entertain him, so he quickly stopped him.
"Well, if Deputy Yan arrests the head, you sacrifice your life to kill thieves and protect the people. You are a great hero. This trivial matter is nothing." Bai Orion explained quickly.
"Killing thieves and protecting the people is just Xiao Liu's job. He should not be called a hero. Brother Bai really doesn't need to spend so much money."
Xiao Liu advised again that these people were not like Tongfu Inn. They were just ordinary people whose lives were already difficult. How could he have the nerve to eat from them like this?
"Deputy Chief Yan, you must not be a local, right?" Orion Bai suddenly asked.
Xiao Liu was a little confused when he heard this, but he still answered truthfully. "No, I wonder why Brother Bai asked this?"
When Orion Bai heard that Xiao Liu was not a local, he quickly smiled and said.
"It's no wonder. If there are people coming into the mountains here, they are distinguished guests, and they must be entertained hospitably. If the hospitality is not thoughtful, it will be our fault."
"Come on, come on, Yan Captou, don't refuse." As he said that, Orion Bai took out the fine wine he had collected and poured it for Xiao Liu.
When Xiao Liu first heard this, he couldn't help but be a little confused, and there were such rules, but he figured it out after thinking about it.
'This must have been made up by the other party. After all, when he first stayed there, the other party refused to accept him. Now that he has mentioned this custom, he must have wanted to entertain him after hearing his story. '
At this moment, Xiao Liu also felt something called a sense of accomplishment arise spontaneously in his heart. Thinking of the other party's intentions, Xiao Liu refused to refuse. At worst, he could just pay more money in return when he left. Anyway, he is now It's rich and powerful.
"In this case, Xiao Liu will be disrespectful to Big Brother's kindness. By the way, Big Brother, Xiao Liu also wants to ask you something." Xiao Liu also directly stated his other purpose.
"Yan Captou has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to ask." Orion Bai responded calmly.
Then Xiaoliu asked him about the bandits in Black Wind Village and the terrain of Black Wind Ridge, and Bai Orion answered everything.
In this way, the two of them chatted until late at night before falling asleep.
This night was also very peaceful. The bandits did not come to harass her. It seemed that Xiao Liu was really frightened.
The county government also received news from the messenger sent back by Xiaoliu to report that the bandits had actually changed their base and reestablished themselves in Heifeng Ridge.
But at this moment, neither Lou Zhixian nor the people in the town were worried about these bandits anymore.
Because Xiao Liu's reputation has been completely spread after this battle. At this moment, no one in the entire Qixia Town does not know how powerful Deputy Yan is in catching heads.
Xiaoliu can be said to be famous in Qixia Town!
