Chapter 209: Finding the Mountain Gate

The leader of the village, Zhong, had been on guard for a few days. One day, he came to Su Qing'an panting and said that he saw the swindlers who pretended to be a caravan and cheated them of their goods appeared at the foot of the mountain.

Su Qing'an was immediately refreshed when she heard this.

She has never been a person who sits and waits for death.

When she heard that someone in Baipi County pretended to be a caravan and cheated them of their mountain goods, she was thinking about it. If she didn't do something, she would always feel that she couldn't swallow this breath.

Unfortunately, there were few people in the village who had hand skills. She wanted to do something, but she had to hold it back. It's not good to hit a rock with an egg.

But when she heard from the leader of the village, Zhong, that group of people actually touched the foot of the mountain in front of their village.

This is too much!

I wanted to find you but there was no place to find you. You came to her door, so she can't blame her. It's obvious that this group of people got a lot of benefits, and they were so happy that they got the benefits once and were thinking about the second time.

The Zhong village chief and his men were the same. They didn't even know that someone was following them and had reached their doorstep. Their alertness... Tsk tsk.

Su Qingmei didn't have time to complain.

She immediately called Siyuan and Siyuan over, and the four of them discussed it.

In the whole village, except for Siyuan and Siyuan, who were better at fighting, the others could only shoot a few arrows, had some strength, and could hunt some prey. They were probably not good at fighting with humans.

Su Qingmei gave Siyuan and Siyuan some instructions, and the two immediately went to the village gate, rubbing their hands.

And the Zhong village chief also immediately went to find people.

First he found Baishu, and then asked him to call some strong laborers in the village. When everyone heard that the group of thieves who robbed their goods and injured the men in their village had sneaked into the mountains!

They were immediately filled with righteous indignation, and everyone wanted to meet this group of thieves.

How bold! How dare they come here!

Today, I must make them vomit out all the food, and make them regret coming here!

At the foot of the mountain, a group of thieves who had been searching for two days but couldn't find the entrance to the mountain were so angry that they collapsed on the ground and gasped.

"Brother, why don't we just forget it? We don't even know where to get in."

Someone immediately nodded in agreement: "Let's go back. We've been searching for two days. What if we run into a tiger or a wolf?" After saying that, he was scared.

"Yes. I'm so tired. I won't go."

"I can't walk anymore. Brother, let's go back? We sold those goods and got more than 200 taels, which is enough for us for a while."

The leader kicked the man fiercely: "What can more than 200 taels do? We spent nearly 100 taels on dinner and drinks at Wanhua Tower that day."

The rest is not enough for them to have another meal.

Seeing that several men looked unconvinced, they rolled their eyes.

He bewitched and said, "There are many treasures in this mountain. They can take out hundreds of kilograms of dry goods, and there may be some left. Can they sell them all? Don't they keep some at home? Besides, even if there is nothing left, we can just go into the mountain to pick them up. As long as we catch them, occupy their territory, and let them work for us to earn money, what else do we have to worry about? Just lie down and eat. Isn't it better than us wandering around outside?"

The eldest brother is the eldest brother, and what he said makes sense.

The group of people were refreshed by what their boss said.

Siyuan and Siyuan, who were hiding in the dark, heard it and gritted their teeth, and a ball of anger rose in their hearts. Damn thieves, you still want to catch them and let them help you work?

Dream on your Spring and Autumn period!

Siyuan and Siyuan waved his hand behind him, and an old man came out of the bushes and walked towards the group of thieves.

Who?

The group of thieves heard movement in the mountain and turned their heads to look.

Then an old man came out staggeringly, carrying a shoulder pole with two twisted hemp ropes hanging on it and a chopping axe hanging on his waist.

"You, stop!"

The old man was a little scared when he saw a group of people in front of him looking at him: "What are you doing?"

The leader walked towards the old man, looked him up and down, and said: "Are you a woodcutter?"

The old man nodded: "Yes, yes. Winter is coming, I came out to collect some firewood. It's cold in the mountains this winter. It's not good to have less firewood."

After saying that, he looked at them: "What are you doing? Going into the mountains to visit relatives?"

The leader was stunned, and then nodded quickly after coming to his senses: "Yes, yes, I am going into the mountains to visit relatives, but I haven't been in touch for many years, and I can't find the way into the mountains."

The old man immediately looked familiar: "So you want to find someone in our Dalin Village, then you have found the right person. Without someone to lead you, you really can't find the entrance to the mountain."

The leader nodded repeatedly: "Haha, yes, yes. I just can't find the entrance to the mountain."

The old man was very enthusiastic: "Who are you looking for? There is no one in the village that I don't know."

Looking, who?

The leader was not smart for a moment and glanced at the younger brothers.

One of the younger brothers was smart and said to the old man: "Looking for your village chief. My eldest brother is your village chief's relative."

The old man said: "So you are looking for our village chief. I was wondering why our village chief is a woman and her family never comes to visit her all year round. Look, she is here. Come on, I will take you in. Our village chief will be very happy to see you."

The village chief is a woman?

The leader was stunned, and the younger brother immediately said: "Isn't it true? It's not easy for a woman. So as her family, why don't we come to see her today?"

The old man was contemptuous. He came to visit someone empty-handed? He didn't even bring half a piece of luggage. Did he plan to rely on relatives for food, clothing and daily necessities?

He couldn't find a decent excuse.

The female village leader, her parents are visiting her? Bah, I will make you come and never come back!

The old man showed nothing on his face, smiled and turned to lead a group of people into the mountains, not even cutting firewood. He chatted happily with a group of people.

He talked about how the mountains were this year, and how happy everyone was to pick up mountain products. It's just that there are too few people, and many things were not picked up in time, and they all rotted in the mountains. What a pity.

After listening to it, the group of thieves looked at each other happily, there are so many mountain products? Great! We are here, how can we let the mountain products rot in the mountains. All of you people in the mountains go to the mountains to pick up mountain products.

A group of people went into the mountains.

The old man was happy to talk, and the group of thieves were also happy to listen.

There was no preparation at all. What tricks can an old man play, there are so many of them. With a hook of the little hand, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Following the old man into the mountains, thinking about the piles of mountain products and countless money flying towards them, they were very happy.

The old man from Baijiazhai led seven or eight thieves around the mountain, climbing up and down, drilling through the jungle, climbing mountains and crossing ditches, which made the thieves very tired.

"How far is it?" A thief held his knees and panted heavily.

"We're almost there."

The old man answered and asked them if they were tired and if they wanted to rest for a while.

"You have never been to the mountains. It's like this for the first time. You will get used to it next time." The old man said with a naive face.

The thieves panted: "Is your village so hidden?"

The old man nodded: "Isn't it? Our ancestors went into the mountains to avoid war. Of course, we have to choose a hidden place, otherwise why hide in the mountains."

What can a group of people do? They have walked 99 steps, so are they going to give up on the last step? There are piles of mountain products and countless silver in front of them, don't they want them?

The group of thieves continued to walk behind the old man while panting.

Now they were confused and bewildered even if they didn't follow. They couldn't find the direction to go out of the mountain by themselves. Even if they followed the original path, they couldn't get out.

Where is the original path?

Every tree in this mountain looks the same, every ditch and every mountain road looks the same, so where is the original path?
