Chapter 109: A Nest of Stupid Thieves
Since today is the day when the attendants in the Weiyang Palace came to announce the decree, the students were given a holiday yesterday.
After eating, Gongsun Hong still couldn't be idle.
After sitting in the hut for a while, he went to the fields behind the mountain to pull weeds.
This crop field is very large, and it is not Gongsun Hong's alone, but three families.
While the sun was shining, there were still a few people in the field watering the vegetable seedlings.
And Ruoyao may have not experienced the taste of farmhouse so comfortably for a long time, so she actually played with her in the crop field, pulling weeds and digging the ground, and the two of them were just like an ordinary farmer.
"Gongsun Hong, why haven't you seen it before?" A dealer saw a woman in the field today, so he asked curiously.
Gongsun Hong was a little tired, got up and wiped his sweat, and twisted his stiff old waist: "My granddaughter, hehe." ”
"I haven't heard you talk about it for so many years!" After the dealer finished speaking, he went to the ditch on the side to fetch water.
While a few people were chatting while doing farm work, several young men climbed up from the col not far away.
They seemed to have lost their way in the mountains, and after climbing up, they looked around with confused faces, until they saw the Zhuang family in the field, and several people showed a happy smile on their faces, and then hurriedly walked towards the Zhuang family.
Coincidentally, several people walked along the diameter of the banker's ditch to Gongsun Hong's vegetable field, and then looked at Ruoyao who was pulling weeds, and the leader actually had a trace of evil smile on his face.
"Grandpa, do you want to hand over the water over there?" Ruoyao really didn't pay attention to these people.
Gongsun Hong panted and got up and looked at a few people, and then looked at Ruoyao: "There is water in the pond." ”
The strong man in the lead looked around and suddenly asked, "Old man, I will ask you about someone." ”
"Ahh You said! Gongsun Hong shook the mud off his hands.
The strong man took two steps forward and asked softly, "You have a man named Gongsun Hong here, where does he live?" ”
Gongsun Hong's head was stunned, and he was immediately alert, the person who came was not good, so he reacted quickly, pointed to the mountain in the distance and said, "See?" On the top of the mountain, yes, just that house, he's in the house right now, what's the matter with him? ”
The strong man looked at Gongsun Hong's fingers, his heart trembled, so far away: "Is there a shortcut, we are almost tired all the way up." The strong man was a little helpless.
Gongsun Hong crossed his hands on his hips: "No, there is only one way to the mountain." ”
"Good!" The strong man panted and turned around and beckoned to his accomplice, but after walking a few meters, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he turned around and asked again with an expressionless face: "What is the situation in their family?" ”
Gongsun Hong said with a hippie smile: "This old man is miserable, he lives alone all the year round, occasionally teaches and teaches, and there is no meaning in living, unlike me, and I have a granddaughter to accompany him." After speaking, he looked at Ruoyao who was carrying water.
The strong man looked at the people on the side, then turned and trotted towards the top of the hill to .......
When several people disappeared from view, Gongsun Hong suddenly became nervous, dropped the things in his hand and shouted to Ruoyao, who was carrying water in the distance: "Ruoyao, Ruoyao." ”
Ruoyao, who heard the shouting, ran over quickly, and saw that Gongsun Hong was sweating profusely and was a little nervous, so he asked, "What?" What did those people do just now? ”
"Let's go!" After Gongsun Hong finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the ditch: "Killer! ”
Killer! Ruoyao looked in the direction where several people were gone, and also followed behind Gongsun Hong and asked, "How do you know?" I think it's just like a normal villager! ”
Gongsun Hong's pace became faster and faster, and at the end, he actually trotted up: "The old man is not mistaken......"
Gongsun Hong actually saw at first glance what these people were doing, first of all, they could get lost in the mountains, definitely not people nearby, and secondly, seven or eight of them were strong men, which was no coincidence, and finally, although the things they were carrying were hidden in advance, the cyst's clothes still betrayed them, and the clothes were definitely murder weapons.
The place that Gongsun Hong pointed out to a few people just now was a ruined temple on the top of the mountain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At night, it was dark all around, and Ruoyao sat alone in the grass shed drinking tea after lighting a few lamps.
After returning from the crop field today, Gongsun Hong thought about running away, but after thinking about it, Ruoyao was originally a master, why should he run, why not catch it, so there is now an invitation to enter the urn.
Sure enough, the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the slightest wind and grass around reached Ruoyao's ears, and within a quarter of an hour, several black-clothed people appeared in the bamboo mud outside the courtyard.
They exchanged heads and gestures to each other, but they did not know that the door to the hut had been opened.
Seeing this, the strong man removed the black veil on his face, because he saw Ruoyao who was at the door, and he suddenly remembered.
"How? That ruined temple is quite far away! Ruoyao wanted to laugh at the thought of these stupid thieves.
The strong man pulled out his sharp knife viciously, stepped forward and said angrily: "Less nonsense, where is the old thing?" ”
Ruoyao said with a nonchalant smile: "You will never find it, and you will never think of it, hahaha!" ”
"Boss, don't give her nonsense, subdue her brothers to enjoy it, hahahaha." The stupid thief seems to be more anxious than the strong man, and the sinister expression seems to be very cool tonight.
"Up!" With a wave of the strong man's hand, several people drew their knives and rushed out.
Ruoyao saw a few people rushing over, and as soon as the eight clothes in his hand were mentioned, he jumped out of the decisive battle.
The martial arts of the people who came here were indeed very high, if it weren't for Ruoyao's exquisite swordsmanship, he might not be able to resist it.
But it's useless, if Yao divides five by two, he will stab to death the few people who rushed to the front.
Seeing this, the strong man was anxious, and with another wave of his hand, the last three remaining people behind him also rushed over, while the strong man rushed into the house when Ruoyao was beaten, only to find nothing.
"Yikes!"
The strong man knew that he would not come back today, and he would not be able to complete the task, so he viciously swung his knife and slashed at Ruoyao.
Ruoyao skillfully avoided the flying knife, and then stabbed back, stabbing the strong man in the abdomen.
Looking at the strong man lying on the ground holding his stomach, Ruoyao raised his sword and asked, "Say, who sent you?" ”
"Kill me, I won't say it." The strong man looked resolute.
Ruoyao is not so stupid, they are all dead, how to find out the real murderer, in order to prevent the strong man from escaping, he raised his sword and stabbed the strong man's thigh, directly through the flesh.
"Ah~~~~Ah~~~~~ah~~~~~" The strong man rolled on the ground with his injured leg and screamed.
"Hey, Ruoyao, don't kill him, don't kill him!" At this moment, a weak voice from Gongsun Hong came from a big tree next to him: "It's useful to keep him!" ”
The strong man looked up at the tree with a painful face, he didn't know how tall the tree was, and he didn't know where Gongsun Hong was sitting in the tree.
"Regardless of my business, he killed himself by biting his tongue." Ruoyao stepped forward to examine the body.
Gongsun Hong stayed on the tree for a whole hour, and his whole body was already sore, so he said, "Quick, put the old man down." ”
