Chapter 240
"Found it!"
However, after hearing Xie Zhuoyan's cheerful voice for a while, Ye Yunzhan hurriedly leaned over, looked down, and was surprised and understood. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You sprinkled stone dust?"
Ye Yunzhan looked at the gray powder scattered on the ground and sprinkled all over the ground and asked.
Xie Zhuoyan nodded happily in response: "Otherwise, how can I know where their nest is, now the two of us just need to follow the stone powder to track it down." ”
With that, the two men led their horses and followed the stone powder on their way, walking slowly and quickly, through the dense woods, past a frozen stream, and finally saw a small house, which looked no different from the houses of ordinary residents.
Xie Zhuoyan and Ye Yunzhan were sure that it was this house, and the stone powder disappeared here, and the two of them were behind the wall, not daring to rush forward.
"Rush in?"
Ye Yunzhan asked, no expression could be seen on Xie Zhuoyan's face.
"I don't know how many of them there are," Xie Zhuoyan said, "I don't have a complete certainty about my current body." ”
If they encountered robbers on the way, it would be no more than twenty people, but now Xie Zhuoyan and Ye Yunzhan are facing a nest of bandits.
The only characteristic of bandits and robbers is that they are numerous, they have not received any training, and some of them may only have the kung fu of some three-legged cats, but the huge population, with the continuous expansion, is also an object to be underestimated.
Xie Zhuoyan looked inside the fence and didn't see a single person, just like an ordinary household whose owner stayed at home, but the more this happened, the more Xie Zhuoyan didn't dare to judge easily.
"You go find the officers and soldiers to come and suppress the bandits," Xie Zhuoyan slid down the wall.
Ye Yunzhan said with some dissatisfaction: "It's just a bunch of bandits, and we still need to call officers and soldiers to help us?" ”
Xie Zhuoyan chuckled, looked at Ye Yunzhan and said, "Your guts are really getting fatter and fatter." ”
Ye Yunzhan smiled wryly.
Xie Zhuoyan continued: "Just in case, it can be regarded as selling a favor to the gang of people in the official government. ”
The bandits in Guisui City have always been the most headache for the government, even if they have been cleared for many years, but the number of bandits is still increasing instead of decreasing, and there are almost too many bandits of all sizes to count.
"Okay, I'll call the officers and soldiers first, and you wait for me here."
Ye Yunzhan said that, then rode on his horse and drove away.
Xie Zhuoyan didn't seem to listen to Ye Yunzhan's words at all, and when Ye Yunzhan disappeared, she swaggered in.
Xie Zhuoyan was sure that this must be the old den of those bandits, even if there was not a trace of it from the outside, even the gate looked like you could walk in casually.
Although Xie Zhuoyan had never been in contact with bandits in her previous life, since she became the thirteenth lady of Yongxing Dart Bureau, she has been exposed to it and experienced it herself, and she has figured out the tricks of bandits.
Xie Zhuoyan had also "placed" the bandits' nests before, and she had seen a lot of bandits' nests from the outside, which was not the gate compound, and there were several whistle-blowing people standing guard at the door, and you could see at a glance what the bandits' lineup was.
But the gang of bandits in front of him is obviously not ordinary people, otherwise how could they be so well concealed.
What made Xie Zhuoyan even more surprised was that not long after she walked into the courtyard, an old woman came out of the room on the left, with a cane, and the wrinkles on her face were like twisted rags.
"Little girl," called the old woman cordially, as she trembled over and said, "is there any matter?" ”
The moment Xie Zhuoyan saw the old woman, she frowned imperceptibly, and then stepped forward very politely and said, "I got lost, I saw a house here, and it looked like no one lived there, so I came in, I'm sorry." ”
The old woman smiled kindly and waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay." This happens all the time, and I don't know where you're going. ”
Xie Zhuoyan nodded politely and said with a little grievance: "I wanted to go to Montenegro to enjoy the scenery, but I didn't know the way when I walked." ”
This is not far from Montenegro, Xie Zhuoyan is naturally clear, and further east, you can see the towering Montenegro.
"Montenegro, you just go all the way east, it's not too far." The old woman said very intimately.
Xie Zhuoyan nodded in thanks, and then said, "I've been a little thirsty all the way, I wonder if you can give me a sip of water?" ”
The old woman didn't think there was anything wrong with Xie Zhuoyan, so she nodded without hesitation and turned around and said, "Okay, you can sit down first, it's cold outside." ”
Xie Zhuoyan also walked in unceremoniously behind the old woman.
Xie Zhuoyan looked at this seemingly old house, the pots and pans inside were very simple, although the outside of the house was relatively deserted, but after walking into the house, he could still feel a bit of life.
Xie Zhuoyan looked at the neatly stacked dirty porcelain bowls in the wooden basin and asked, "Do you live here alone?" ”
On the other side, the old woman was scooping up a bowl of water from the water tank and walked over, and after hearing Xie Zhuoyan's question, she nodded without thinking and said, "Yes, the old man left a few years ago, and my son doesn't recognize this family anymore, so I'm the only one left here." ”
Xie Zhuoyan took the night handed over by the old woman, and said softly thanks, but she was not in a hurry to drink, but said: "It's inconvenient to live here alone, so many things are inconvenient." ”
After that, Xie Zhuoyan picked up the bowl and drank the water slowly.
Xie Zhuoyan had to say that the old woman in front of her was too real, kind-eyed, and amiable, and she really couldn't connect with the bandits.
Could it really be a mistake, this house is just an ordinary house?
Xie Zhuoyan was a little skeptical of her judgment, after all, it was a long way from the forest to here, and the stone powder might have run out here, so there was no footprint left behind.
"It's clean here, good mountains and rivers, I'm really reluctant to leave here when I'm used to it, but there is nothing inconvenient, I don't feel any trouble when I get used to it."
The old woman squinted and smiled.
Xie Zhuoyan drank all the water in the bowl and handed it over with a smile.
The old woman put the bowl in the copper basin and walked over, and Xie Zhuoyan had no reason to stay any longer, so she got up and walked outside the house.
"Thank you," Xie Zhuoyan said, "If you have the opportunity to go to Guisui City, you can go to me, my name is Xie Zhuoyan." ”
Xie Zhuoyan said, lifting her feet and walking out.
Xie Zhuoyan really didn't notice any clues, and she only thought about how to deal with it when the officers and soldiers arrived.
But at this moment, Xie Zhuoyan glanced at an inconspicuous well in the courtyard, and her expression changed. (To be continued.) )
