Chapter 57: The Outsider
The attitude of these two young men was much better than that of the old men, but they were just as vigilant.
"How did you manage to escape the traps in the mountains?" One of the men asked.
Liu Ping'an wondered, "There are traps on the mountain?" ”
It's embarrassing.
The young man who asked the question ran up the hill without looking back, and after a while, there was a scream from the mountain, and the people in the village who were nesting at home came out, and saw strangers standing at the edge of the village, and gathered one after another.
"Ji Lao, what's going on? How do you hear someone screaming on the mountain? A woman with a baby in her arms asked.
Without waiting for Ji Lao to answer, the man who went up the mountain ran back, he held the trap in his hand, and cried all the way back, "Help me open it, open it quickly!" ”
The companion who came with the man before immediately went over and took off the trap, "The clip is all rusty, Ji Lao, you have to deal with it for him." ”
The old man nodded, "You come home with me first." Before leaving, the old man looked at Liu Ping'an and the three of them, "Haizi, take them to your grandfather." ”
The man who is called Haizi is the man who took the trap.
After Ji Lao left with the wounded, there were many people in the village left, surrounding Liu Ping'an and watching them.
"Come with me."
followed Haizi to his home.
"Grandpa, an outsider has come to the village." Haizi walked to the inner room and took out a lean old man, who was older than the one he had met before.
The old man could not walk, but he was very conscious.
He asked Xiao Zhiqi, "Where did you get the fight?" ”
"From Peng Chau." Xiao Zhiqi has always been very calm, he can see that although these people are guarding against them, they have no ill intentions towards them, "We went into the mountains to find people, but we didn't expect to get lost in the mountains and inadvertently walked here." ”
"That's a coincidence." The old man said, "The mountains around us are full of traps, and you can come here unscathed." ”
Liu Ping'an smiled: "We are purely lucky. ”
"If it weren't for you with two children, I would have asked the people in the village to arrest you." The old man continued to ask Xiao Zhiqi, "You said you went up the mountain to find someone, who are you looking for?" ”
"Find my wife." Xiao Zhiqi obviously remembered Liu Ping'an's nonsense, "She disappeared suddenly, I inquired all the way, and I found out in Pingzhou that she had gone up the mountain." ”
"Your wife went up the mountain by herself?" The child asked, "Why did she leave you?" ”
Liu Ping'an's nonsense couldn't hold back, "Grandpa, she didn't leave us, it was the gangsters who saw her good looks and kidnapped her." ”
Okay, connect Liu Ping'an's nonsense, the fictional character in her mouth, who is both a mother and an uncle, has a bizarre experience.
"Do you know where the gangsters came from?" The old man continued to ask.
Liu Ping'an decided to test them, "We didn't see who it was, but when we ran behind him, we saw that he was wearing purple clothes." ”
The old man said, "Then maybe there is a rich man somewhere, and you should not come to the mountains to find it." ”
Liu Ping'an looked at Xiao Zhiqi next to him, generally speaking, anyone who knows Wenhua Palace, when it comes to purple clothes, must think of Wenhua Palace, don't these people know Pingzhou or Wenhua Palace?
What is this place? Peach Blossom Spring?
"Grandpa, haven't any outsiders been here?" Liu Ping'an asked.
The old man spoke to the child, still politely, "We have never had outsiders come in here, this is the first time for you." ”
"Grandpa! I heard that someone from outside is coming? A girl came out of the back of the crowd, she squeezed to Haizi's side, and blushed after seeing Liu Ping'an's appearance.
Haizi was a little strict with the girl, "Adults are talking, children don't talk too much." ”
The old man said to Xiao Zhiqi, "We have never had outsiders here, and your wife is not here, so take your children and go." ”
It's not early now, they are not familiar with the terrain around them, I heard them say that there are still traps around, although I don't know what kind of shit luck they took when they came in, but Xiao Zhiqi didn't dare to guarantee that he could avoid every trap when he hurried at night.
"Sir, it's getting late, and I still have two children." Xiao Zhiqi used this tone for the first time to talk to others, "If I am alone, I will definitely not dare to disturb and leave immediately." But my two children really don't dare to let them venture at night. ”
That's what I want to do.
The old man looked at them, and after seeing Mancang's sincere and innocent eyes, his heart began to loosen, "Then you will stay for one night and leave here early tomorrow morning." ”
