Chapter 675: Looking Through the Autumn Water
"Faith! Of course I do! The fat man salivated and said with a smile: "I came to tell you about this, originally I wanted to ask you for some credit, and when you entered the village, I could spare my life." ”
"You're also afraid of death!" Mo Lan was so angry and funny that she couldn't help but spit at the fat man.
The fat man nodded solemnly and replied: "Of course I'm afraid, it's not that I'm cornered, and the bastard is not afraid of death." ”
Mo Lan was stunned again: "Are you cornered? ”
"yes!" The fat man replied exaggeratedly: "Brother Dong wants to return to China, I can't go, and the village is full of a rabble with no fighting power, and there are strong enemies all around, what other way can I go?" ”
After a pause, the fat man said again: "However, fortunately, if I have something long and short, Brother Dong will have to find at least thirty or fifty people to accompany me, hehe, on this point, I am very relieved and satisfied." ”
The expression on Mo Lan's face changed, the fat man's words were definitely what he was most worried about, according to the situation of Mo Lan and Xu Dong, not to mention ordinary bandits, even if he was a character of the same rank as himself, Xu Dong would definitely not be difficult to kill several at the same time, and this is exactly where Mo Lan's most fundamental fear lies.
In other words, either you can hunt Xu Dong in one fell swoop, or you must not act rashly, after all, you have reappeared again when you promised Xu Dong not to appear in this area, which can be regarded as giving Xu Dong a handle to do it.
Mo Lan pondered for a long time, but he really didn't have the courage to make a decision, at least, under the situation that Xu Dong's side was unclear, Mo Lan didn't have the courage yet.
The fat man rambled for a long time, and Merlan suddenly asked a question she was most concerned about: "Mr. Xu is going to return to China for treatment, when are you going to leave?" ”
"Who knows!" The fat man opened his eyes and said, "Anyway, he won't let me go back with him." ”
Mo Lan sorted out his thoughts and secretly figured out that Xu Dong was injured, and the injury should be quite serious, judging from the news from all aspects, this should be true, but there is one thing, that is, no matter what, it is not serious enough to endanger life, as for what the fat man said about needing to return to China for treatment or something, most of them are not credible.
In this way, Mo Lan hesitated a little, and even didn't dare to find an excuse to explore the truth in person, no one knew what Xu Dong's purpose was for letting the fat man tell him this.
I want to force the truth from the fat man's mouth, but the fat guy doesn't need anyone to force him at all, don't say what he wants to know, even if he doesn't want to know, the fat man doesn't need to ask more to say it directly.
It's just that in the face of the fat man, Merlan always has a feeling of not being able to use his strength, just like although he has a needle in his hand, he is facing a ball of soft cotton, even if he the cotton with a needle, it is useless, and there is no way to cause any harm to the cotton.
Meran didn't know why this was happening, and after a long time, he said: "You tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will rush into the village and ...... Even him......"
The fat man smiled "hehe" and said: "Of course I'm afraid, but Miss Merlan and we have a relationship, so you won't do it, besides, my brother Dong's side, I'm just afraid that Miss Merlan wants to succeed, hehe......"
Mo Lan was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, there's nothing to do with you here, you can go back and talk to Mr. Xu, if you have time, I will visit him." ”
The fat man nodded, but sighed again, and said, "Miss Merlan's words, I will definitely bring them, but, alas...... There are also many wounded people in the village, and we don't have enough manpower, so I hope Miss Merlan can let Boss Mu go back with me, after all, Boss Mu is the only doctor here......"
Mo Lan's face froze again, and then smiled: "Isn't Miss Mu helping me treat my subordinates, look at what you say, as if I won't let her go back." ”
The fat man stared at Mo Lan's eyes, and said with a smile: "Miss Mo Lan, there are some things that we don't need to say more, everyone just understands in their hearts, I just read it, what Boss Mu should do has been done, let her go, you say a word, give me an understanding." ”
Mo Lan turned his head to look at the village, and after a little hesitation, he smiled and said: "Miss Mu wants to leave, come if she wants to come, she is a doctor, that is, our life-saving benefactor, how can we do the thing of revenge?" ”
"Alright, let's leave it at that, if there is any need, send someone to talk to us when the time comes, and we will try to consider ......" The fat man smiled and stood up.
Mo Lan looked at the fat man's back and wanted to give him a shot, but Mo Lan really didn't dare, at this moment, Mo Lan felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him somewhere in the village, but Mo Lan didn't know if those eyes were Xu Dong! Anyway, it feels terrible.
The fat man smiled all the way, walked to the bottom of the big tree, said hello to Mu Siqing, and said: "Miss Mu, I'm sorry, Brother Dong asked me to bring you a message, hurry back, those wounded people in the village are waiting for you to go back for treatment......"
Before Mu Siqing could speak, Zhao Liangdong immediately pulled Mu Siqing up, without saying a word, he turned his head and ran, the speed was really like a rabbit.
The man who provoked the two of them immediately raised their guns and shouted, "Stop......"
The fat man hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Big brother...... Big brother, don't get excited...... I've discussed it with Miss Merlan, and later, if you need it here, let them come over......"
Mo Lan also shouted behind the fat man: "Put down the gun...... What are you doing here......"
The fat man turned his head and glanced at Merlan meaningfully, then he reluctantly smiled: "Miss Merlan, our guns are not our own people, right?" ”
Mo Lan didn't answer, but said to the two men, "Let them go......"
The fat man swaggered and was about to walk to the village, and then he scolded angrily: "Dog, dare to point a gun at me, one day my king fat man wants you to taste the ......"
Not long after Merlan's people had eaten, all the people who had sneaked into the village to inquire about the news came back, but the news brought back to Merlan made Merlan dumbfounded.
- Some said that some villagers saw that the man named Xu Dong had been beaten to death, and two women were still holding him and crying.
Some said that the one named Xu Dong was okay at all, but he was hiding, planning to do a big thing, and said that if this big thing was done, it would be earth-shattering.
Another said that as soon as he entered, he met Xu Dong, who was discussing with a guy named Instructor Meng how to guard against bandits.
I also got news that Xu Dong was indeed seriously injured and had already embarked on the journey back to China, and he had been walking for most of the day, and a team of very mysterious people came to pick him up.
is even more mysterious, it is indeed a fact that Xu Dong was injured, and it is also a fact that he wants to return to China for treatment, but he has not left yet, but is waiting for an opportunity, as for what opportunity he is waiting for, no one can say clearly.
All of these are varied, and the five people have more than a dozen theories, each of which seems to be full of flaws and cannot withstand scrutiny, but it is said in a decent manner and the evidence is conclusive.
However, these people who sneaked in all had a common discovery - the vigilance in this village was much tighter, and the villagers who usually needed to work in the fields were all armed, and there were countless patrols of open posts and hidden piles, and it took a lot of effort for these people to escape.
Mo Lan frowned, and thought for more than half an hour, before he found two of his subordinates and asked them to disguise themselves and search as fast as possible along the road that could lead to the border.
Li Molan in the village didn't plan to go for the time being, it was useless to go, if Xu Dong didn't want to see her again, he would naturally do everything possible to excuse himself, even if he went to inquire about the news, it was absolutely impossible to get something useful.
The reason why there is such true and false news is obviously aimed at these people, and inquiring will only get more chaotic information.
Fortunately, Merlan knew that if Xu Dong really wanted to return to China, he would definitely take the road closest to the border, and as long as Xu Dong was found on this road, he would know the real situation.
It's just that this makes Meng Zhicheng and the fat man suffer a lot.
In the afternoon, Meran sent someone to ask for some supplies, and when the supplies arrived, Merlan took her people and walked away, but they didn't go far, but they just crossed the river and settled in the village on the other side of the mountain.
Moreover, not long after Merlan left, another bandit of forty or fifty people rushed out and rushed to the village.
Fortunately, Meng Zhicheng and the others had already prepared, and in less than ten minutes of the exchange of fire, they killed more than a dozen bandits, and the rest of the bandits retreated while fighting, and soon broke away from the battle.
By the time Merlan came over with his people, the battle here was already nearing the end, and Merlan's people casually put a gun and beat the water dogs for a while, but since Merlan came, he had to ask for some loot.
The fat man and the others gritted their teeth with hatred, but they were helpless, after all, they couldn't turn their faces with Mo Lan now, even if they came to fight the water dogs and pick up cheap, at least they could be regarded as "friendly troops", not to mention, it was also a strong enemy that Meng Zhicheng and others, who were now alone, could not establish.
What's more, Meng Zhicheng didn't think much of the pitiful "loot" of the bandits.
However, after taking away her people from Merlan, the frequency of bandit attacks has greatly increased, and sometimes within a day, Meng Zhicheng and the fat man and others have to fight two or three battles, although each battle ended in victory, but it also made the fat man and the others annoyed.
What annoyed the fat man the most was that every battle was about to end, so Merlan appeared with her people, and then put a gun indiscriminately, and after driving away most of the bandits, most of the loot went to Merlan.
This made the fat man look forward to Xu Dong's return, and of course, he also hoped that Qin Yu could find more people like Meng Zhicheng to come over and breathe a good sigh of relief for himself.
