Chapter Forty-Eight: Little Slippery Beads
Mu Chenghu was angry, rubbed his hands, and stomped his feet from time to time.
Wei Ran looked at Mu Chenghu, who was so cold, and said, "Uncle, why don't we go to the tea shed in front and sit down." ”
"No, neither of us can speak Chen Guohua, what if we show our stuffing?" Mu Chenghu refused without even thinking about it.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Mu Chengru to come back.
"Let's go! I've made it clear to the owner. Mu Chengru whispered.
As soon as the three of them left, two soldiers came out of the tea shed.
One of the soldiers pointed to Wei Ran's back and said, "Huh! You see, that figure doesn't look like the corpse we brought in yesterday and threw it away. ”
"It's a bit similar, but how can a dead person come back to life, not to mention that person is from our Chen country, but he is inevitably too thin." The other person also felt a little like it.
"We Chen people rarely have such thin people, it is estimated that the family was relatively poor when I was a child!" The first person to speak circled the conversation again.
Of course, Mu Chenghu and the others didn't know that they had just escaped a big danger.
"Uncle, what are those people in front of you sneaking up on?" Wei Ran watched the people in front of him sweep the footprints on the snow with branches as they walked.
"They're not going to rob, are they?" Mu Chenghu looked at this familiar scene and said with some uncertainty.
"In this world now, except for some money and food for officials and soldiers, ordinary people can have something for them to rob. They don't look like they can rob officials and soldiers! Mu Chengru remembered that when he found the owner this morning, the owner was eating salted vegetables and black noodles, which denied Mu Chenghu's conjecture.
"Is it possible that they are also protecting the people on the mountain?" Wei Ran thought for a while and said.
"Whatever they're going to do! We all need to be careful not to fall into the way of others. Mu Chenghu gave up meaningless conjectures.
Mu Chenghu and the others cautiously walked to the place of the few people just now, and saw that there were a lot of small transparent beads on the ground, and if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to see this thing at all.
"Everyone, be careful, the ground is slippery, don't fall." Mu Chenghu reminded.
"It seems that these people are from Dongli Kingdom, but how can people from Dongli Kingdom be here?" Mu Chengru felt a little incredible.
"Dongli Country?" Mu Chenghu and Wei Ran asked in unison.
"Well, Dongli Country is not as big as Lingyang City, but because of its special geographical location, other countries have no way to take them. If it weren't for a chance, I didn't know there was such a country. Mu Chengru explained.
"These little slipballs are unique to them, but I still can't understand why they're here?" Mu Chengru said with a frown.
"If only we could get some little slippery balls." Mu Chenghu sighed.
As soon as Wei Ran heard this, he hurriedly said, "Uncle, if you and the second master go back to the mountain first, I'll follow and take a look." ”
"No, this thing is good with fate." Mu Chenghu was indeed very moved, but considering Wei Ran's safety issues, he still gave up.
"Let's go! We've been delayed for a long time, and we'll have to get back before dark. Mu Chengru urged.
It didn't take long for Mu Chenghu and the others to see a few people appear in the snow in front of them.
Wei Ran looked at the few people in front of him and said, "Huh! Aren't these people the same people just now? Did they come down from the other side of the mountain? ”
"Let's go up and ask them where the little slippery ball came from." Mu Chenghu was still thinking about the little slippery beads.
A few people walked up quickly.
The people in front looked at the few people who followed with a defensive expression.
"Don't be afraid, I just wanted to ask where your little slippery ball came from." Mu Chenghu smiled and tried to make himself look more kind.
As everyone knows, when a few people saw Mu Chenghu like this, they felt even more that Mu Chenghu and the others were not at ease.
One of them boldly asked, "You are not from Chen Guoren?" ”
"Of course not, it's just to dress like this for the convenience of getting into town." Mu Chengru said with a smile.
As soon as Mu Chengru finished saying this, several people on the other side immediately relaxed.
The man who spoke just now asked again, "I wonder what a few of you are looking for us?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that this little slippery bead is far away in Dongli Kingdom, how did you get it." Mu Chengru put the few small slip beads he had just collected in his palm.
"This thing was just from our boss when he was robbing a caravan, and we don't know what it can do." The man said nonchalantly.
As soon as Mu Chenghu and the others heard this, they knew that these people in front of them were bandits.
A person next to him found that his brother accidentally leaked the bottom, and hurriedly remedied, "Don't worry, we don't rob ordinary people." ”
Mu Chenghu suddenly felt some sympathy for the boss of several people.
"Then what are you doing down the mountain with these little slippers?" Mu Chengru was a little curious about the purpose of several people.
The first bandit to speak said without thinking about it: "Our boss said that let a few of us pretend to be ordinary people and go into the city to inquire about the news, and by the way, take this thing out to let people see if it is worth it." ”
Mu Chenghu once again sympathized with their boss.
"Do you sell this?" Wei Ran didn't forget that his uncle wanted this thing.
The man hurriedly said, "Sell, sell, our boss asked us to go down the mountain to see how much it was worth and disposed of it by the way, but the owner of the pawnshop said that this thing was worthless." ”
"How many little slides can I buy with all this money." Mu Chenghu couldn't help but smile and took out half of the silver and came out.
Who knew that those people quickly handed the two large bags of small slides in their hands to Mu Chenghu and the others.
This time, not only Mu Chenghu pitied their boss, but even Mu Chengru and Wei Ran also had a headache for their boss.
After a few people sold the small slip beads, they turned around and left as if they were afraid that Mu Chenghu and the others would regret it.
"Wait, why are you scattering little balls at the intersection ahead?" Seeing this, Mu Chengru hurriedly asked.
"Oh, we accidentally scattered to the ground." The man said quickly.
"Then why do you want to go up the hill? And swept the footprints in the snow? Wei Ran still asked a little uneasy.
"That's not what you should be concerned about." The man who had not spoken among the three said fiercely.
"I think it's better to take the children away! It is not safe to put children on this mountain on this day. Wei Ran was about to say something, but Mu Chenghu was interrupted.
"How do you know?" The person who spoke just now said in horror.
Mu Chenghu pointed to the few small palm prints on the man's body that had not yet dried.
"Big brother, let's take my sister-in-law and their mother and son away! It's a dangerous mountain. It's a big deal, let's go back and admit our mistakes to the boss together. The first person to speak said.
"You guys have accepted it, how can you not accept your wife and children." Mu Chenghu asked with some curiosity.
"No, our eldest is very good, but there are few women in our mountains, and I am afraid of ......," said the man who was called the eldest brother.
"You brothers can't protect a woman, I'm really enough." Wei Ran said with some disdain.
"Big brother has us! Just bring your sister-in-law with you! There are only two sisters-in-law and mother and son left in our village, but there can be no more mistakes. The man next to the eldest brother persuaded.
In the end, the eldest brother went up the mountain to take the mother and son down the mountain.
And taking advantage of this time, Mu Chenghu and the others also figured out what was going on.
It turned out that these brothers ran to the mountains to become bandits when they were recruiting in the early years, and they have been secretly in contact with their families, who knew that Chen Guobing took the whole village away after calling, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
After Mu Chenghu and the others knew what was going on, they all wished that they had never inquired.
