Chapter 425: Young Elder
The man took Mo Tong and Qin Xiusheng to the door of the room where the elder lived, and warned the two not to talk nonsense after seeing the elder, and then let them in.
Qin Xiusheng and Mo Tong glanced at each other, and then walked into the room. To their surprise, no one followed them into the elder's room, even the man who led them just stood at the door and waited.
A trace of doubt appeared in the hearts of Qin Xiusheng and Mo Tong at the same time. Although the hands of the two of them were tied behind their backs, with his and Mo Pupil's skills, even so, if they faced an unarmed elder, they could subdue him in an instant.
The two men glanced at each other and exchanged a look. Although Qin Xiusheng and Mo Tong did not communicate with each other, they both knew each other's meaning very well in their hearts. After entering, find a suitable opportunity to work together, and capture the lone elder as a hostage, so that you can successfully escape from the village.
The two of them walked into the room, and Qin Xiusheng raised his head and looked at the figure standing in the center of the room.
When he saw the figure, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but be stunned. He never imagined that the elder in the mouth of the man at the head turned out to be a woman. Moreover, from the back, it seems that he is not very old, and he is about the same size as the ink pupil.
Hearing the footsteps of Qin Xiusheng and Mo Tong entering the room, the elder slowly turned around. When he saw her face, Qin Xiusheng instantly froze in place.
Exactly as Qin Xiusheng thought, the elder's age was not much different from Mo Tong's. Moreover, judging from his appearance alone, the elder had a beauty that was not inferior to Mo Tong, which really surprised Qin Xiusheng.
Mo Tong noticed Qin Xiusheng's expression, it was obvious that he was shocked by the elder's beauty, which made her feel a wave of dissatisfaction in her heart.
Mo Tong moved towards where Qin Xiusheng was standing, then raised his foot and stepped on his instep hard.
Mo Tong did not show mercy to this kick, which made Qin Xiusheng feel a pain in the instep of his foot, and almost screamed for birth. Seeing that Mo Tong's heel hadn't moved away from his instep, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but glare at her, and asked in a deep voice, "Mo Tong, what are you doing, what are you doing when you're idle?"
Mo Tong didn't answer, her mouth pursed slightly, and she snorted coldly at Qin Xiusheng, then twisted her head to the side, putting on an angry look.
Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but be confused, he hadn't figured out why Mo Tong was angry with him until now. However, the current situation did not allow him to ask, so he could only smile awkwardly.
The elder had been standing aside, watching the two of them move. When she saw Mo Tong stomp on Qin Xiusheng hard, and then twisted her head to the side, she couldn't help laughing.
Seeing the elder's sweet smile, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but be stunned. The feeling that this elder in front of him gave Qin Xiusheng was completely different from that of other villagers. In his opinion, this elder is like a child, and if you think about it, he is somewhat similar to Xiao Qi's personality.
As if aware of his gaffe, the elder raised his hand to cover his mouth, coughed lightly, and then said, "I'm sorry, I just lost my temper. I've heard from the villagers before, it seems that you set a fire in the forest, right?"
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but feel angry. He didn't hide it, but nodded neatly, and asked the elder coldly, "That's right, I set the fire." What, what do you want?"
Seeing Qin Xiusheng's attitude, instead of showing a little angry, the elder asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me the reason, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like someone who would deliberately set fire to the forest." ”
Hearing the elder's words, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help frowning slightly. What he felt was true, the elder seemed to behave differently from the other villagers. Especially the man who was the leader, obviously grew up in the same village, how could there be such a huge gap?
In Qin Xiusheng's opinion, the elder in front of him seemed to be able to communicate with her. Qin Xiusheng pondered for a moment and said, "When we were close to the village, we were attacked by the hornets you raised. In order to protect ourselves, we had to set fire to the forest. ”
Hearing Qin Xiusheng's words, the elder nodded thoughtfully. What made Qin Xiusheng not believe it was that instead of justifying or denying this matter, the elder walked up to Qin Xiusheng and bent down slightly towards him.
"This is indeed the fault of our village, and it has caused you trouble. As he spoke, the elder bowed deeply, his eyes full of apology, "I hope you can forgive us for what we did, I'm really sorry." ”
Seeing that the elder sincerely apologized to himself, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but be stunned for a while. He originally set a code with Mo Tong, and wanted to take advantage of the elder's unpreparedness, and the two teamed up to capture her as a hostage. However, when the elders said this, their plans were directly shattered.
Qin Xiusheng glanced at the elder with complicated eyes, and asked with some confusion, "Elder, you mean that you don't plan to investigate the matter of our burning of the forest?"
The elder nodded as a matter of course, and personally walked up to Qin Xiusheng and Mo Tong, untying the ropes on their wrists one by one.
"This incident was originally the first mistake of our village. In the event of a hornet's attack, whoever comes will choose to set fire to the forest for self-protection, right?" said the elder as he untied the ropes from the two of them, "Speaking of which, we should apologize to you. ”
Although Qin Xiusheng had been angry with the leading man before, for the sake of the elder's face, he didn't plan to continue to get along with him.
Waving his hand slightly, Qin Xiusheng said softly, "Apologize and be exempt, we really did something wrong in this matter." And if it weren't for your timely arrival to stop the fire from spreading, I'm afraid I would have been the culprit for the forest fire. If it does, I'm going to thank you. ”
Mo Tong on the side heard that the two of them were humbling, and snorted a little dissatisfied, and after giving Qin Xiusheng a roll of his eyes, he twisted his head to the side.
Qin Xiusheng noticed Mo Tong's movements, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of doubt. The heart said, I didn't provoke her, why did I suddenly get angry with myself?
Thinking of this, Qin Xiusheng walked up to Mo Tong, lightly touched her arm with his elbow, and whispered in her ear, "Mo Tong, what's wrong with you? I felt it from just coming in, how could you be a little weird?"
