Chapter 370: Night Preparedness
"Then I'll disturb the eldest lady." Mu Xi stoops down and salutes at night.
The old woman waved her hand: "If you don't dislike us, it's dilapidated here, then I'll let my daughter-in-law arrange a shop for you." ”
"Okay." Mu Xiwan nodded.
This village is very strange, everyone's kitchen is in one area, and the sleeping area is in another area, and a four-story bamboo tube building is built against the mountain. It stands to reason that such a cottage should have a village owner, but since Feng Chengyi and they appeared, the old woman did not take them to meet the village owner, and no one asked them where they came from.
It was getting dark quickly, and the old woman's daughter-in-law took them to the four-story bamboo tube building, and when they arrived at the staircase, they saw the guards, and several people looked at them, although their eyes did not show vigilance, but their eyes were cold and not enthusiastic.
The old woman's daughter-in-law seemed to explain to them, and said, "These guests have been brought back by their mother, and they have been lost in the woods, hungry, thirsty, and tired, so they have come to us for a night's rest. ”
"Where's the man?" The man had a cloth belt wrapped around his head and was dressed very plainly, but Mu Xiwan saw that he was strong and his arms were thick, and he could see that this was definitely a person who practiced martial arts, and his martial arts were not low.
"My own people." The daughter-in-law glanced at Mu Xiwan and motioned for her to speak.
"Hello." Mu Xiwan understood what she meant and greeted the guards.
The person who was guarding heard Mu Xiwan's Beiyan accent, nodded indifferently, and finally relented: "The eldest lady already told us when they came in the afternoon, since that's the case, let them go up to sleep." ”
"Okay." The old woman's daughter-in-law nodded, and motioned for them to go upstairs.
"The rooms on the left side of the third floor are empty, so let's let the guests sleep." The man behind him spoke.
"Okay." The old woman's daughter-in-law nodded again, but there was no flattering expression on her face, as if she was in the same position as a guard.
Such a scene made Mu Xiwan's doubts even greater.
When I arrived at the staircase of the second floor, I met a young man again, he was lazily leaning on the stairs, and when he saw Feng Chengyi and a few people coming up, he yawned, squinted his eyes, and paused when he saw Mu Xiwan.
This person has small eyebrows and eyes, is young, less than twenty years old, and looks like a scoundrel all over his body, and Mu Xiwan didn't like it at the first glance when he saw him.
"Hey, my mother-in-law said that there were guests, auntie, just them!" The man stood at the top of the stairs and watched a few people and whistled.
"Ah Si, you're idle after eating, don't you, do you want me to tell my father to let you go to the backyard to clean up the garbage." The old woman's daughter-in-law was obviously the man's elder, and her tone was a little more serious than just now.
"Don't don't, this is not a guest, I'm curious." The man was not embarrassed, and smiled and got out of the way.
Mu Xiwan nodded at him as a few people passed by, but the young man stared at their baggage with a thoughtful look.
When they arrived at the door of the room, the woman left, Feng Chengyi and Mu Xiwan had one room, and the other two guards had one room.
When he entered the village, Feng Chengyi was afraid of scaring the people in the village, so he asked the guards to put away the swords in their hands.
After entering the room and making sure that there was no eavesdropping around, Mu Xiwan's face suddenly became serious, and she looked at Feng Chengyi: "Do you feel strange?" ”
"Hmm." Feng Chengyi nodded, "I can be sure now that this is a bandit's den." ”
"But the women in the village don't seem to be." Mu Xiwan thought of the old woman.
"yes, that's why I think it's weird." Feng Chengyi frowned, "They look vicious, but they don't show ill will towards us. ”
"What then?" Mu Xiwan looked at him, "Do you want to take the opportunity to leave the village in the middle of the night?" ”
"No." Feng Chengyi shook his head, "When I came in, I observed the defense here, we are not familiar with this place, so we don't know what will happen if we go out rashly and alarm them." Since the other party did not show his intentions and was polite to us, it is better to wait, and if they do not act during the night, then we will go and resign tomorrow. ”
"Okay."
"You'll have to be cautious tonight." Feng Chengyi glanced at the room, his eyes serious.
At night, everyone in the village went to bed early, and Mu Xiwan and his wife also extinguished the candles, and fell asleep in their clothes.
Feng Chengyi was on guard in his heart, and they slept relatively lightly.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of rustling at the door, and a short knife was inserted into the crack of the door, and the deadbolt was opened.
Feng Chengyi and Mu Xiwan opened their eyes and clenched the sword in their hands when they approached the door.
However, the people who came in did not seem to be coming for them, and after checking that they were asleep, they walked to the table where they were allowed to salute.
The two people on the bed understood in their hearts that this was coming for the burden.
Just as the thief was about to take the burden away, a cold sword suddenly came to his neck, and the candle in the room was lit.
Seeing clearly that the thief was named Ah Si, he was startled when he saw Feng Chengyi standing next to him, and screamed, Feng Chengyi kicked him to the ground, making a lot of noise. Ah Si exclaimed, and after a while, the candles on the bamboo tube upstairs lit up.
"What's going on?" Soon a bunch of people came to the side, making a commotion.
Feng Chengyi pointed at Ah Si with a cold face: "He came in in the middle of the night to steal our things." ”
"What?" Several people looked at Ah Si.
"What do you mean by stealing?" Ah Si saw that there were more people and hurriedly shouted, "A few of you ran into the village to eat us and sleep with us, you should have put down the silver, why are you still called stealing?" Master, this is a righteous and bright take, and it is what you should give! ”
Feng Chengyi sneered: "You want the silver, I can give it to you tomorrow, but when I touch someone else's room in the middle of the night, how do I know what you want besides money?" ”
"What do you want?" Ah Si snorted coldly, "You don't know what kind of place this is, do you?" Master just took your life, it's all right here! ”
"That's it, put the sword down! Less dancing and swords on our turf! "A few people are copycats, so they naturally help Ah Si speak.
"Ah Si!" A man came to the door, as if he was in charge, he looked at Ah Si coldly and scolded him.
"If you want two pieces of silver, I will naturally give it during the day tomorrow, why come in at night and steal it." Feng Chengyi glanced at the man at the door, snorted coldly, took out a piece of silver from his baggage and threw it to Ah Si.
"Hmph, count you as acquaintances!" Ah Si took the money, and the tense atmosphere of several people eased.
As soon as Feng Chengyi put down his sword, Mu Xiwan beside him suddenly grabbed his arm and looked at the door, and said with some surprise: "It's Leng Thirteen." ”
Feng Chengyi looked, and sure enough, there was Leng Thirteen standing behind the man in charge at the door, although he had changed his clothes, it was him.
But the strange thing is that Leng Thirteen looked in the direction of the room, but his eyes were not focused.
Mu Xiwan frowned, shouted his name, stepped forward, looked at him carefully, and suddenly exclaimed, what happened to his eyes? How do you feel like you can't see it?
