Chapter 1122 The Second Case

Chapter 1122 The Second Case

A scholar in a long gown with a book basket on his back, and a schoolboy carrying two packages, walked hard on the mountain road, panting from exhaustion.

The book boy was still struggling with what the old lady told them in the gazebo in front of him, and couldn't help asking: "Master, do you really think there are bandits here who kill people and rob people?"

Although the scholar was also panting from exhaustion, he didn't care about this statement at all, "Oh, this is a bright world, don't you see that those are all simple villagers? Where did the bandits come from?"

The book boy frowned and insisted: "But there are still a few villagers who say that it is best not to go here, or else, let's change the road."

Scholar: "On the map, this road is the shortest and best road to Hefeng City. If you refuse to take such a good road, but insist on taking the difficult road, aren't you asking for trouble?"

Shutong: "But..."

Scholar: "Okay, okay, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, nothing will happen. The people here are simple and honest, and most of those who fall into bandits do so because they can't survive, so..."

Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman suddenly jumped out of the woods in front of her, and fell directly to the ground.

The two were startled, looked at each other, and then looked at the woman on the ground, who was about forty or fifty years old, with dark and strong skin, and dressed in tatters.

The scholar asked: "Hey, auntie, are you okay? Auntie..."

The book boy looked around, the forest was deep and the grass was dense, and there was no human habitation. Suddenly, a peasant woman appeared, and he always felt that something was strange.

He carefully tugged on the scholar's sleeve, and lowered his voice: "My lord, I think... just, forget it, this place..."

Before he finished speaking, the woman lying on the ground suddenly hugged the scholar's feet and began to yell.

The scholar staggered in fright. If the book boy hadn't supported him, he would have fallen down.

The scholar was hugged by the other party and couldn't get away, "Auntie, let go quickly. What happened, what do you have to say..."

The woman ignored it, and hugged her even tighter, "Pay me for my chicken, you stole my chicken, pay me for my chicken..."

The two were at a loss as to whether there was a chicken or not. They only saw birds along the way. How could there be a chicken?

Quickly explained, but the other party didn't listen at all.

They didn't realize that the danger was approaching them step by step from behind...

But Qin Gu booked a room in Weiyuan City, left behind his horses, and used his wind control skills all the way to rush towards Xiaoershan.

Just in time to see this scholar and book boy from other places in trouble.

In the eyes of these people, there is no law of heaven and king, let alone reverence for life... If there were any, they would not kill people like killing chickens.

Therefore, they hardly even shouted, a woman in front blocked the road, and while attracting the attention of the two, two bandits appeared behind, drew out their short knives and stabbed them in the back...

Qin Gu's heart immediately "thumped", damn it, these people are even more ruthless than those murderers.

Anyway, they still have a plot, which is good. When they see someone, they come up and stab them.

Qingu thought, if she had been a little slower just now, she might have come to see two corpses now.

Of course, if they turned into corpses, the "oil and water" on these bandits would definitely be richer.

Qingu loves "wealth", but he is not a person who is indifferent to watching "oil and water" become richer.

So, at this moment of lightning and flint, Qingu made a sudden move.

Let's say that the scholar and his book boy were stopped by a vexatious woman, and when they were in a hurry to do nothing, two screams suddenly came from behind.

Immediately afterwards there were two "bang dang" sounds, and when I turned around, the two sharp knives fell to the ground.

The two big men clasped the wrists of the other with one hand, howling in pain.

The sudden change made the woman blocking the way dumbfounded, and the scholar and the boy were terrified. They subconsciously raised their hands and said in horror: "Ah, you..."

If they were confused when they were suddenly blocked by someone just now, then now, no matter how stupid they are, they should be able to guess a little bit.

The woman was deliberately finding fault to attract their attention, and then the two men with wounded wrists behind them killed them by surprise.

Although the scholar and the book boy understood the situation before them, they still didn't understand: they were just passing by here, why did these people kill them?

Seeing this, the woman blocking the way was afraid that the two preys would run away, so she grabbed the sharp knife on the ground and got up without hesitation, and stabbed at the nearby scholar.

With this kind of vigor, there is no room for others to explain at all, as soon as it comes up, it will try its best to kill. Qingu felt that her ruthlessness was inferior in front of these people.

However, he saw the book boy slammed into the woman, although his figure was a little thin, but the sudden impact with all his strength still made the woman stagger.

Then the bookboy pushed the scholar out, "My lord, let's go..."

The woman saw that she couldn't kill the scholar with a knife, and it was the boy who ruined her good deed, so she grabbed the boy with the other hand and became more fierce, "If you want to leave, there is no way, you are all dead today." After saying that, he raised the knife and stabbed at the book boy again.

The scholar saw that the book boy was grabbed by the fierce woman, and the other two gangsters ignored the wounds on their wrists, picked up the knife with the other hand and chased him down.

They have already exposed their true colors. If these two are allowed to escape, there will be endless troubles. Even if the officers and soldiers came, I wouldn't be afraid, but...it's very troublesome to say.

Seeing that the three of them were about to kill the bookboy, the scholar didn't know where the courage came from. He slammed his back basket at the nearest person, and then rushed towards the other like an angry ram. Holding the hand of the book boy, he ran outside desperately.

Qingu held a few leaves between his fingers, looked at the breathtaking scene below, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When she just arrived, she happened to hear the scholar arguing with the woman who deliberately picked on them, but she didn't know that the crisis behind her was approaching.

She thought this was another very pedantic scholar, but she didn't expect that he was not only not pedantic, but also very affectionate.

The book boy rescued him when he was in danger, and he was not like some of the plots she had seen before: when the slave was in danger, he saved his master without hesitation, and then the master cried "no" but his body was very honest. For Junjie'—run away alone.

But this scholar chose to use all his strength to rescue his companion...

Qingu flicked his wrist lightly, and the leaves turned into an afterimage and disappeared in the air. Immediately, the three of them fell to the ground at the same time, screaming.

The book boy and the scholar ran for a while, and when they heard the movement behind them, they looked back subconsciously.
