Chapter Seventy-Two: Li Qinggang's Inn Encounters Thieves

"Sister Ying entered that courtyard!" Seeing Li Yi's thoughts, Yu Bing pointed to the courtyard on the side, but her hands were already trembling.

Li Yi reined in the war horse, and he tried to get as close to Yu Bing as possible to drive away the fear in her heart. But Li Yi was worried about Zhang Ying, she entered the yard alone, what should she do if she encountered danger? Li Yi beat a drum in his heart, secretly complaining about his carelessness. How could he ignore his back and let Zhang Ying take risks alone?

If you don't care, if you care, you're messy. Seeing no people from Taiping Village, Li Yi's heart was anxious, so he rushed into the village desperately.

Just when Li Yi was worried about Zhang Ying, she came out of that small courtyard. Zhang Yingfei got on the war horse, took a few steps forward, and said with a serious face: "I went to Liu Ping's house, but I didn't find any clues. Liu Ping's family can't see anyone alive or dead, this is really a strange thing! If there is a sudden attack, the whole village will die, how can the dead body be left behind! If someone is still alive and the body is carried away and buried, then there should be a living person, how can it not be touched by half a figure? ”

It turns out that this is Liu Ping's home! Li Yi patted his head, he secretly complained that his memory was too much worse than Zhang Ying. Li Yi recalled Liu Ping, although he was small, he had a lot of bad ideas, and he was a clever ghost! Li Yi really sweated for this apprentice, but he didn't see the corpse, that is a blessing in misfortune, maybe it is not impossible for him to escape from Taiping Village with his cleverness.

But Li Yi felt even more weird, and the speed of his heartbeat increased by two percent. But as the only man, even if he pretended, he had to show that he was not afraid of danger, and he calmed down as much as he could: "Judging from the situation of the ruins, the fire broke out a few days ago, and in my opinion, this arsonist must be the officers and soldiers of Liaoxi!" When I rush back, kill him and avenge the people of the village! When Li Yi mentioned the officers and soldiers, he felt his heart contract, and his eyes erupted with nameless anger!

"Before figuring out the real murderer, let's not act rashly, especially don't rely on subjective assumptions, imagine the murderer out of thin air, if it is a scoundrel and a good person, I am afraid that it will be regretted!" Zhang Ying said word by word.

"Yes! Impulse is the devil, let's look for it in the village first, if it still doesn't work, and then ask the surrounding villages, I think it will eventually come to light! Yu Bing said slowly.

"Then let these dog officials live for an extra hour and a half!" Seeing that neither of them responded, Li Yi was indignant in his heart, and he said angrily.

The three of them were silent again, fearing that there was a murderer hidden in the courtyard, and they all tensed their nerves, beware of someone suddenly casting a hidden arrow. However, the three of them were unnecessary, and they walked all the way to the village, but they did not find half a figure.

Hopefully something can be found, even if it's a burnt skeleton. It may be that the fire has engulfed everything, and all the evidence has been devoured, but Yu Bing is still searching carefully, hoping to find some clues.

"Look!" Yu Bing let out a soft shout!

Zhang Ying leaned over when he heard the voice: "It's footprints!" Footprints just left by adults! She measured the size of the mark with her hand.

The anxious Li Yi couldn't help but be surprised, but then he was overjoyed, and finally saw a glimmer of hope: "This footprint may be the villager's!" ”

"It's not impossible for the murderer to be a murderer, just from the footprints, you can't tell whether it's friend or foe!" Yu Bing frowned and said.

The flame that Li Yi had just ignited was ruthlessly extinguished by this basin of cold water, and he stared at the footprints and said: "It's the murderer, it's no better, save us the trouble of searching, go, follow me to capture this dog thief!" ”

Although the wind was strong, the marks had just been left and were still very clearly recognizable, and the three of them traced the footprints and searched forward. But after chasing for a while, the footprints disappeared for no reason.

"Taiping Inn!" Li Yi snorted lightly, and he looked at the row of houses in front of him, almost intact! What a miracle! Although the inn is separated from the residents by a certain distance, it is really a great joy that it can be spared, which indicates that the brother Li San has a great chance of survival! made Li Yi's sad mood better.

"Go, chase after him, this person has hidden in the inn nine times out of ten!" Zhang Ying was also surprised by this situation, but she even entered the inn to find out. If Li Sanzhen is alive, it will be an unexpected joy!

Although Yu Bing had never been to Taiping Village, when she saw such a bleak scene, her vision was blurred unconsciously, she wiped her tears, and said in a low voice: "This inn is a little weird, it's better to be careful!" ”

This Taiping Inn was Li Yi's original foothold, and he taught his disciples martial arts, and he was also in the inn, so he was extremely familiar with it. So he nodded, and was the first to step through the door of the inn.

"Bingmei, you are not familiar with it, it is better to stay, one is to take care of the horses, and if there is a thief fleeing, you can also intercept his way!" Zhang Ying said in a low voice.

Leaving a man behind, it is extremely necessary to take care of the horses and parcels. If the chess winner does not care about his family and loses everything, the pair of three people will be a catastrophe. But leaving himself outside, Yu Bing was still a little unwilling, and he didn't understand the appearance inside the inn, which was indeed not conducive to searching for thieves. Yu Bing had no choice but to nod, helplessly waiting for the good news from the two.

Li Yi carried a short gun in his hand, Zhang Ying clenched the steel knife, and the two searched the front rooms one by one. Due to the strong wind outside, the room was unattended, and a thick layer of soil had fallen. Judging from the fact that there is not a single trace in the ground, it has been unvisited for several days.

There is nothing abnormal, but the life and death of the three Li brothers are unknown, which makes Li Yi panic, and he said softly: "I see that the inn is also empty, is it necessary to visit the back row of houses?" ”

"Of course, you can't give up halfway! Just because there is no one in the front room doesn't mean there are no thieves in the back! Zhang Ying's voice was lowered, and she pointed to the marks on the ground: "Look here!" ”

Li Yi lowered his head to identify it carefully, and sure enough, the layer of floating soil on the surface was very different from the side, he nodded, and said in a low voice: "This is a trace of someone who has been treated, and it has just been done not long ago!" ”

"Let's go! Or the nephew hits the lantern as usual, I turn left, you go to the right! Check one by one, and never let this person go! Although Zhang Ying's words were light, he was extremely decisive.

"Good! Be careful! Li Yi nodded slightly, he clenched the short gun, walked through the courtyard, and cautiously walked into the back room.

"Brother should be careful, too!" Zhang Ying also admonished, and the two of them separated left and right, and searched carefully room by room.

Li Yi was in charge of searching Dongfang, he went all the way to the end, only the last room was left, his heart was a little relaxed, he pushed open the door and stepped into the house.

Before Li Yi could settle down, he suddenly felt a vicious wind and went straight to his weakness. "Ahh Li Yi shouted: "Thief, you dare to sneak attack!" Li Yi retreated, and avoided the attack of the strong enemy as quickly as he could.

The man hid behind the door, and he was bound to get a move, but he actually went empty, and in a hurry, he stabbed out a second shot.
