Chapter 1301 The Bandits Are Coming
Although Luo Tianhe and Yuan Shanyuan had moved very quickly, in the end they missed a move and the fat man took the lead. The mirror flipped over in the middle of the road. After the fat man grabbed it, he immediately wrapped it in red cloth and stuffed it into his arms.
Luo Tianhe was so angry when he saw this scene that he gasped. He needed this mirror not for the people in Jiangcheng, but mainly to deal with the upcoming Tomb of Blood Corpses and Yuan Shanyuan who might turn against him at any time.
Compared to people like Jiangcheng Fatty, Bai Yu, who is a ghost, is the biggest variable in the team.
"Little friend Wang, you only know one thing about that mirror, but you don't know the other. Although that mirror has the effect of deterring ghosts, the evil energy around the mirror is unknown and needs to be sealed with a specific method." Yuan Shanyuan was full of benevolence, justice and morality. He said as if he was doing your best, "You are still young and cannot grasp the depth of this business, so please leave it to me to preserve it."
Hearing these words, Luo Tianhe almost vomited, thinking that this Yuan Shanyuan was worthy of being an old Jianghu, he was the one with the masterly demeanor, and he was the same one who had the shamelessness to bluff people with lies.
Jiang Cheng naturally rejected Yuan Shanyuan's kindness, saying that there was no need to worry, they could handle it.
The group of people returned to Wolong Town in this unpleasant atmosphere.
It was still early before dawn, and the town was very quiet. The doors of the merchants on the street were closed tightly, and the dark windows were like eyes with malicious intentions, coveting these living people walking on the street, and white people. The hustle and bustle of the day is in stark contrast.
Vaguely, everyone felt uneasy.
When they were about to reach the Wu Mansion, suddenly, a figure emerged from an alley at the corner of the street. The figure was very fast and had a clear target. He was the fat man walking in the middle of the team.
Yao Shunyu reacted very quickly and immediately stood in front of the fat man. In the next second, he pinned the rushing figure to the ground. Yao Shunyu himself did not expect that the opponent was so vulnerable.
"Is it you?"
After seeing this person's face clearly, the fat man and the others were all stunned. It turned out to be a little boy selling newspapers.
At this moment, the boy was pinned to the ground by Yao, Shun, and Yu. He was still struggling, trying his best to face the fat man, "Fat brother, don't go back, something happened in Wu Mansion!"
"Someone died, was killed, more than one person! I saw it with my own eyes. I stayed here just to wait for you. You must not go back!"
The little boy who sells newspapers also knows how to measure his words. Although his voice is very urgent, it can still be heard that he is deliberately controlling the volume of his voice.
"Quickly, let him go." Fatty urged.
As soon as Yao, Shun, and Yu let go, the little boy rushed to the fat man and pulled the fat man's clothes with a very urgent expression. He was still carrying the old satchel filled with newspapers. It seemed that this was all his belongings. .
After observing that no one was paying attention nearby, the group immediately changed their route and retreated to a secluded alley a hundred meters away from the Wu Mansion. Here, the little boy finally took a breath and introduced what he knew to everyone.
It turned out that during this period, the little boy was sleeping in a ruined temple not far from the entrance of the town, together with other homeless children. Tonight, he slept until midnight when he was suddenly heard by a sound of "kick-kick-kick-kick". He woke up with a dull sound, like the sound of horse hooves. He and a few curious children went out to take a look. The result was incredible. A horse team appeared on the road outside. There were about 20 people, heading towards Wolong Town. direction to go.
One of the children who was with him was a little older and more experienced. When he saw this group of people clearly, he almost cried out of fright and told him to run quickly. These people were horse bandits nearby.
The little boy couldn't understand, but he was still very scared. He quickly asked him how he knew these people were horse bandits. It was so dark around here that he couldn't make out the faces of these people at all.
The man shivered and pointed it out to him and the other children, saying, "Have you ever seen a normal caravan traveling at night without lighting a lamp?" Also, these people are carrying a long cloth bag behind their backs. What is inside is not goods, but weapons. Because the weapons reflect light in the moonlight, they are wrapped in cloth. Finally, and most importantly, don’t you think this is the case? Is the sound of a team’s hooves particularly dull?
The little boy really felt this. It was so quiet at night. If he hadn't felt lightheaded and the distance was so close, he wouldn't have been awakened by the sound of horse hooves. The sound of the horse's hooves from this group was indeed weird.
"That's because the hooves of these horses have been wrapped in cloth! Who would do this if they didn't have a guilty conscience?"
As the last sentence came out, the children panicked. At this time, the older children continued to warn that what these horse bandits did was to block people's lives and rob rich people's business. The government had come to encircle and suppress them several times, but they always let them run away. Come on, there will definitely be no good in coming to this town today. If...if these people find out, they will all die.
After the horse bandits went away, the children fled in all directions. The boy who originally sold the newspaper planned to follow the other children out to avoid the limelight, but before they took a few steps, he suddenly remembered that Fatty and the others were still in the town.
There will definitely be no good thing when the horse bandits come to the town. The rich businessmen in the town will bear the brunt of it, and the Wu family, which started with medicinal materials, is naturally the first choice. The little boy knows that Fatty and the others live in the Wu family. Thinking of this, he is determined not to leave, and he is cautious. He moved over and followed the cavalry, trying to find an opportunity to sneak into the Wu Mansion and tip off the fat man.
But what he didn't expect was that the horse bandits moved much faster than he thought. After a brief rest outside the town, two people were left to guard the horses, and the remaining 20 people entered the town in darkness.
The goal was clear, and the group of people walked straight to the Wu Mansion. What the boy didn't expect was that after the leading bandit stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times, the door of the Wu Mansion was opened from the inside with a "creak", and then more than 20 bandits swarmed in.
"Inside and outside, there is a ghost in the mansion!"
The fat man hated people who betrayed their friends and sold out their friends for fame the most. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat for the people in the Wu Mansion, especially the second young master and Lai Fu. I don't know how they are now.
"Not long after these people entered the mansion, there were several screams, but soon there was no movement. I was worried, so I searched along the wall of the Wu mansion, and finally found a very low hole. I tried it and it was just big enough to get in. After entering, I hid behind a rockery, and then... I happened to see those horse bandits hacking and killing people in the Wu mansion. First, they blocked their mouths, then made them kneel against the wall in a row, and used knives to hack... hack their heads. There were 7 or 8 people, all hacked to death by them, and their heads fell to the side."
"Is the second young master of the Wu family among the dead? He is a young man with gorgeous clothes, good looks, and very white skin, but he is very weak and needs someone to support him when walking. He is probably... probably in his 20s."
Listening to the fat man's description, everyone became nervous.
