After the caravan set off, Huang Si arranged for Eleven to follow alone, so that he could figure out what was going on with this strange robbery, and why the bandits did it without saying a word at first, but they were extremely measured.

After the appearance of Steward Fang, the two sides were able to turn the conflict into jade silk, and the robbers were obviously quite satisfied with the food that the other steward took the initiative to take out, and did not rush to kill all the Jedi and rob them all.

"Fourth Brother Huang, I'm going alone? We were with them a few days ago, wouldn't it be strange? Eleven asked.

"Do you really take ourselves seriously? Our identity, one more person and one less person, who cares about those people? Huang Si asked rhetorically.

Huang Si originally wanted to follow with Eleven, but he just thought about it, it was more important to figure out the bandits' lair first, and he would still stay where he was, and wait for the two of them to come back to report the situation, in case the cottage was very close to here.

"That's right." Eleven sighed and hung far behind the caravan and followed.

Huang Si was left alone, anxiously waiting for messages from both sides.

came back in the evening of the eleventh day, Huang Si was not surprised, this kid had a pleasant face, a sweet mouth, and could speak well, such a little thing couldn't help him.

"Fourth Brother Huang, these bandits are still a little particular." Eleven sat by the fire, drinking hot water and eating hot cakes, and said pleasantly.

It was the first time in a few days that he had eaten hot food, and at noon he followed the caravan, so naturally he didn't have his share, and he was still eating the dry cakes he had brought.

Huang Si added some hot water to his bowl and asked, "Why do you pay attention to the law?" ”

"They only rob grain, not goods, and they are really not real bandits." While eating, Eleven told the news he had heard.

These people are extremely mysterious in this area, and many people are not even aware of their existence, especially the large caravans and government offices.

The reason is that they are extremely cautious, never attacking caravans with a size of more than 30 people, and those with less than 30 people will only encounter them if they are alone.

These people rarely talk nonsense after they show up, and they don't cut anything with the caravan, they only claim to be from Zhuolushan, they don't fight hard, they don't resist particularly violently, they don't kill them, they often knock over all the people in the caravan, and only take away the caravan's food after tying them up, and don't want anything else, no matter how valuable it is.

The bundlers use live buckles, and the ones with more strength or softer muscles can break free if they struggle for a while, but by that time they have already gone far, and it is impossible to follow them in order to take revenge or something in the future.

Even if they take the food by themselves, they are very measured, and if they don't take it all, they will leave some food for the caravan, enough for them to barely eat the Jingshi.

These bandits were not consistent in the vicinity every time, but they had a very accurate grasp of the various situations of the caravan, not only roughly knowing the amount of food in the caravan, but also picking small caravans to leave alone, and when there were no other caravans within ten miles before and after, everyone was masked, and after robbing the grain, they were extremely careful to cover their whereabouts without revealing the slightest trace.

Some small caravans also inquired about the location of Zhuolu Mountain afterwards, but neither the government nor the local mountain people had heard of it, so they had to give up.

Over time, this group of people gained some fame among the small caravans, and in order not to be offended, the small caravans often took the initiative to hand over the food after meeting them.

Anyway, these people don't want much, who to hand over is not to hand, or to fight the government army, there are more than this, of course, if they can shout out the mountain they once reported - Zhuolu Mountain, the grain can be handed over less, and they will be more polite to the caravan.

"Then this time they are afraid that they are desperately short of food, so they came to rob the party to take charge of their caravan." When Huang Si heard this, he interjected, there are more than 30 people in charge of Fang, and they have exceeded the boundaries of these people's previous actions.

"I think so." Eleven nodded in agreement, "According to Brother Du, Steward Fang heard of the name of Zhuolu Mountain somewhere, and he was able to report it in time after the guards were overturned, so that everyone did not suffer, and only half of the sheep as their welfare could be left." ”

"Interesting," Huang Si said with a smile, "The name of Zhuolu Mountain is estimated to be their own name, and the mountain people in this radius of dozens or even hundreds of miles are probably their eyes and ears, so they can step on the point so accurately, and the old man who sold me chestnuts that day must be one of them." ”

Speaking of this, Huang Si was suddenly a little worried about the two subordinates who were following the bandits, they were fresh, and they didn't know that this group of people had so many eyes and ears, if they accidentally showed their traces in the eyes of the mountain people, it would be terrible, not only could they not find the location of the cottage, but their own lives were also in danger.

"Alas, I didn't expect that old man to be the eyes and ears of the bandits," Eleven was still sighing, "but he also had a heart, and gave us a letter in advance, afraid that we would suffer with the caravan." ”

Huang Si's mind was no longer on Eleven at this time, and he hesitated to follow and take a look, he believed that these two people must have left marks along the way.

It's just that he is still a little lucky, knowing that these two people are also very clever and will not easily reveal their whereabouts, and in winter, even if it is a mountain people, there are few people wandering around the mountains.

In addition, Huang Si was also worried that if the two subordinates were really going to be caught, would the bandits set a trap on the spot and wait for him and Eleven to drill? If all four of him are wiped out, not to mention his net worth and life, he will be too sorry for Brother Zhi and Second Brother Ma.

Of course, he can also act separately from Eleven, one person stays here, and the other tracks down, but there are fewer people, and if he is separated like this, the weaker the strength, the easier it is to miss.

As for whether the two of them will reveal any secrets, Huang Si is not worried, they have been following Ma Er for a long time, and they have their own means of dealing with torture.

After thinking about it, Huang Si still chose to believe in the ability of the two subordinates, and decided to stay here for three days, when the time comes, if the two of them don't come back, then he and Eleven will go back and find some helpers to come again, those marks will not disappear in a short time.

"Fourth Brother Huang, Fourth Brother Huang! What's wrong? After Eleven finished speaking, seeing that Huang Si did not react, he was stunned there, and couldn't help asking.

"Oh! It's okay, you and I can't relax here these days, we still have to take turns on duty, especially at night. Huang Si didn't say his worries, just be vigilant, so as not to be attacked by someone and capsize in the gutter.

"That's nature, let's do this, we can't miss this string in our minds at any time." Eleven nodded, convinced.

In this way, Huang Si and Eleven stayed in this snow for three days.

On the first day, Huang Si was still relatively relaxed, and the second morning was the same.

When he hadn't seen the two men that night, he was a little anxious.

Throughout the third day, the two still did not appear, and Huang Si spent it in anxiety.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Huang Si, who was on the last duty the night before, woke up Eleven, who was still asleep, and began to pack up his things and prepare to leave.

Just as the two of them were about to set off, the two subordinates who made Huang Si and others anxious finally appeared.
