"It's good to say, it's easy to say, a group of people came this morning and arrested the old lady of the Wang family into the forest in the back mountain, most likely to use this old lady to force out her unfilial son hiding in the forest."

The woman hid the silver in the bag on her chest, and said absently, as if it were not her neighbor who had been with her for decades, but an insignificant stranger.

Compared with the life and death of the old lady Wang, what she values most in her heart is how much silver she can get from this old lady.

"The king's shopkeeper is hiding in the back mountain? Granny Wang hid this matter so tightly and refused to reveal half of it, how did you know about this matter? And how do they know? ”

Ran Qiunian frowned and asked, but saw that the woman's face was evasive, and she realized in her heart that it was probably this woman who saw wealth and opened her eyes, and couldn't help but tempt to use the news of the king's mother-in-law's son to exchange the silver for the group who were also tracking down the king's shopkeeper.

But now is not the time to pursue these, Granny Wang is in danger, if that group of people really catches the shopkeeper Wang, all the efforts of her and Xiao Yin these days will be in vain, and the clues of this case will be broken here.

"How long have they been there?" Ran Qiunian asked urgently, the peasant woman thought for a while, and hesitated to report the hour, but it was not long after that.

"Big brother, let's hurry over and take a look, it's too late, I'm afraid that Granny Wang is in danger."

After speaking, Ran Qiunian pulled Xiao Yin and rushed to the back mountain anxiously, leaving the woman who saw the wealth behind her.

The back mountain was not far from Granny Wang's residence, and they quickly rushed to the foot of the mountain, but the terrain in this mountain was extremely complicated, the jungle was staggered, and the mountain roads were rugged, and Ran Qiunian couldn't confirm where Granny Wang was caught for a while.

"There are footprints left by those people in the woods, follow the footprints and look for them first."

Xiao Yin keenly found the messy footprints hidden in the grass, judging from these traces alone, the number of the other party should not be much, about three or four people, of course, this is on the premise that the other party does not hide the master.

Thinking that the other party was just trying to catch a helpless jewelry shop shopkeeper and an old man who couldn't even walk, he shouldn't have dispatched such a powerful master.

Ran Qiunian followed behind Xiao Yin and touched it all the way through the forest. With Xiao Yin opening the way in front, Ran Qiunian walked very smoothly all the way.

When they reached the end of their footsteps, behind a large bush, there was a strange man's voice, Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin glanced at each other, hid behind the bushes, and looked outside cautiously through the gap.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I heard that you are a dutiful son, and now your wife is here, as long as you come out obediently, we promise not to move a finger of her, if you hide and refuse to come out, don't blame us for being polite."

The kidnappers tied Granny Wang to an open space and pointed a knife at Granny Wang's neck, as long as the movement of her hand was slightly heavier, there would be an extra cut in Granny Wang's neck.

Granny Wang was gagged, tied her hands and feet, and couldn't make a sound, so she could only stare at the arrogant bandits viciously with a pair of angry eyes.

Although Granny Wang didn't seem to be physically harmed, Ran Qiunian couldn't help but feel anxious: "Big brother, we have to find a way to rescue Granny Wang." ”

"Wait a minute, judging from the footprints, there are clearly four people, but there are only three people here plus Granny Wang, let's find out where the last person is, in case there is an ambush."

Xiao Yin stopped Ran Qiunian and pointed out the footprints on the ground to her, Ran Qiunian saw this, calmed down a little, and began to look around vigilantly.

At that time, the bandits were still fiercely threatening the king's treasurer who did not know where to hide:

"Old woman, your life is in the hands of your son. The eldest son who worked hard to pull up, turned his head to live for himself, abandoned you, and felt chilling for you when he thought about it. ”

"It's better for you to call people out yourself, I promise that not only will I not harm you, but I will also send you back to the village with good food and drink."

After the bandit finished speaking, he dragged down the cloth ball that blocked Granny Wang's mouth and motioned for her to open her mouth and shout.

Granny Wang was naturally unwilling, she raised her voice and shouted: "My son, don't come out, don't let this group of beasts get away with what they are inferior, remember what my mother said, and hide well." ”

"Old thing, I think you're tired of it!" Granny Wang's words angered the bandits, and he kicked Granny Wang and re-gagged her.

Granny Wang screamed in pain, looking at the angry bandit with happy eyes, and even the physical pain seemed to be alleviated a lot.

But seeing Granny Wang being beaten, even Ran Qiunian was a little breathless, not to mention the always filial shopkeeper Wang.

The bushes not far away suddenly moved, Xiao Yin looked intently, and saw a corner of fabric flashing, as if he was going to walk outside.

He immediately reacted to who the person behind the bushes was, and the owner of the fourth footprint was probably the king's shopkeeper that the bandits wanted to lure out.

But when the king's shopkeeper goes out at this time, isn't it no different from sending him to death? Judging from the ferocious temperament of those people, even if they catch the shopkeeper Wang, they may not let go of Granny Wang.

He had already made a judgment between the lightning and flint, his fingers moved slightly, hitting the grass, the shopkeeper Wang was startled by him, stepped on the air with his steps, and fell to the ground, Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin also rushed to the side of the shopkeeper Wang at this time.

"Who are you?" Shopkeeper Wang got up from the ground and looked at Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin with a panicked expression, his frightened expression eased slightly when his eyes touched Ran Qiunian, a weak little girl.

"Don't be afraid, we are not in a gang with those bandits, just like you, we are also here to save Granny Wang."

Ran Qiunian looked at the embarrassed shopkeeper Wang, and couldn't help but appease him.

"You're the kind girl my mother said she was, right? Miss Ran, please help me save my mother, I am willing to tell you what you want to know. ”

Shopkeeper Wang pleaded with Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin.

Yesterday, the shopkeeper Wang and Granny Wang discussed and went down the mountain with her, who knew that the day was very bright, the shopkeeper Wang went into the mountain to catch some mountain goods to entertain Ran Qiunian, who came here later as a guest, who knew that after coming back, he saw this group of people arresting Granny Wang into the mountain.

He followed all the way behind, already in a hurry, and if it was too late, he would rush out desperately regardless of it.

On the other side, the bandits could not wait for a reply, so they became a little impatient, and with a fierce glint in their eyes, they tied Granny Wang directly to the tree, and piled branches and dead grass under her feet.

"Shopkeeper Wang, my patience is limited, I don't have time to waste time with you here, I count to ten, if you don't come out again, I will light this pile of firewood at the old lady's feet!"

As he spoke, the bandit kicked the firewood under his feet, gathered them together, took out a fire breaker from his bosom, waved it, and put it at the feet of Granny Wang.

"Mother! No, I'm going out to get my mother back! ”

Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but want to stand up, but Ran Qiunian grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive first, we must calm down, we can't die in vain." ”

"But that's my mother, even if it's a life for a life, I can't watch them burn my mother."

Ran Qiunian couldn't stop the shopkeeper Wang, she couldn't bear it in her heart, although she knew that rushing out was to send her to death, and she might not be able to exchange Granny Wang back, but in the face of the shopkeeper Wang's words, Ran Qiunian was also quite touched.

In a different place, she is afraid that she will not be able to calm down.

"Big brother, think of a way, you can't just watch their mother and son die at the hands of bandits."

When the shopkeeper Wang heard this, he also stopped moving, and looked at Xiao Yin with a pair of begging eyes, as if he had grasped the last straw.

Xiao Yin looked at the two bandits, these two people were vain in their footsteps and had no foundation in martial arts, so they were not afraid of him at all, but the knives in their hands were too close to Granny Wang, if they forcibly attacked, those bandits would inevitably not hurt Granny Wang.

For the sake of today, there is only one way to protect the safety of Granny Wang to the greatest extent, Xiao Yin quickly made a decision, turned his head and whispered beside Ran Qiunian and the shopkeeper Wang.

After a burst of movement in the bushes, the group of bandits couldn't help but ignite the fire fold and throw it away, when some movement suddenly appeared here.

The king's shopkeeper shouted: "Don't do it, don't do it, I'll come out, I just ask you not to hurt my mother." ”

As he spoke, a trembling and swishing movement came from the bush where Ran Qiunian was hiding, and a man with an embarrassed figure and unkempt head stood up.

The movement here also attracted the attention of the two bandits, they had not seen the king's shopkeeper, and they were not sure whether the person in front of them was the real king's shopkeeper.

But the old lady on the side, who was still quite tough, suddenly became excited after seeing the familiar clothes, if it weren't for the cloth ball in her mouth, I was afraid that she would be able to hear her angry scolding immediately.

The two bandits could now determine that the man who came out of the forest was undoubtedly the king's shopkeeper.

"It seems that the rumors are not wrong, the shopkeeper Wang is indeed a filial son, as long as you hand over the things, I promise to give you a happy one."

The bandit put away the knife that was lying across Granny Wang's neck, and stretched out a hand to signal to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper of the king seemed to be silent for a while, and walked towards the two bandits in a general manner, approaching step by step, and the mother-in-law of the king, who was tied to the big tree behind her, saw it, struggled desperately, and made a whining sound in her mouth, and seemed to shout to the shopkeeper of the king to go quickly.

But the shopkeeper still walked firmly and walked to the two bandits, his messy black hair covering his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Alright, just stand here and pull your stuff out." The bandit was a little impatient to point a knife at the shopkeeper Wang, but the shopkeeper Wang, who was still silent, suddenly moved.

"It's not good, it's a fraud!"

The bandit shouted, picked up the dagger in his hand and was about to stab Granny Wang, but how could Xiao Yin give them this opportunity, he raised his hand and snatched the dagger from the bandit's hand, bent it down, and the dagger came out of his hand and reached Xiao Yin's hand.

Without scruples, these two bandits were not Xiao Yin's opponents at all, and he quickly took down all of them.
