Chapter Seventy-Seven: Not the End, but the Beginning
Chapter Seventy-Seven
When Lu Qiming and the others returned to the town, a strange atmosphere was spreading. He felt that everyone in the town was looking at them with a strange look.
Lu Qiming squinted his eyes slightly, grabbed a farmer casually and asked.
"Tell me what's going on?"
However, the other party didn't seem to intend to answer him, just trying to break free. Lu Qiming's face flashed, and his right hand was slightly forced. The other party directly screamed and fell to his knees.
At this call, more than a dozen people around directly surrounded him. Several of them even carried guns. You must know that Lu Qiming and the three of them are now with eleven children. Even if the other party does not express gratitude, it should not be so hostile.
At this time, the mayor arrived.
"I'm really sorry that there were some accidents in the town after you left yesterday. Three of your companions have kidnapped a child from our town. We pursued them all night and finally caught them and found the children. But it makes the townspeople feel less good for you. ”
"Hehe, is that so? So? I was able to save these eleven children, not the children of the town? ”
"Uh......" the mayor said for a while. But then I reacted.
"No, it's not. You rescued all the children, and we are very grateful. I'll pay you double the bounty. Unfortunately, two of your companions will have to be punished by the laws of the town. In our case, children are burned to death. ”
"Two?" Lu Qiming was a little puzzled.
"Yes, we caught three, but one ran halfway through."
"Is that so? I agree in principle that the perpetrators of evil should be punished, but I would like to see them first. I need to understand what happened. ”
"Of course, you have the right to do that. They are now in the square. ”
Cao Juan and Lin San have been tied up in the square at this moment. There was a pile of wood under his feet. Apparently he was going to be burned to death in a moment. When the two of them saw Lu Qiming and the others, they struggled excitedly, but their mouths were blocked and they couldn't say anything at all.
Lu Qiming approached and reached out and pulled out the rags in their mouths.
"Now, tell me what happened last night? With Wei Xingyun's ability, when there are hostages in his hands, he will be arrested if he entangles with a group of farmers? ”
This question, the two people on the other side were stunned for a while.
"I'm sorry. It's us, it's us who are scared......" The two of them recounted in detail what had happened.
At this time, the two did not lie. Because Lu Qiming could easily know the general course of the matter from the mouths of those farmers.
"So, you two idiots, you want to trade that kid for your own life with the life of your teammates. But failed? Lu Qiming said sarcastically.
“…… Yes. Those farmers are not reasonable at all. They ......"
The two wanted to say something, but Lu Qiming suddenly blocked their mouths again.
"Mr. Mayor, I'm sorry these idiots have caused harm to the town. Do what you have to do. ”
Lu Qiming said lightly. The two tied up behind them writhed wildly, trying to say something. But Lu Qiming had no intention of turning back at all, and walked out of the crowd directly. The indifference on his face also hides a kind of murderous intent that is almost overflowing. Let the people around him involuntarily make way for him.
The mayor was also stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Lu Qiming would intercede no matter what. When the time comes, he can take the opportunity to get the bounty back, killing multiple birds with one stone. Anyway, the children are fine, and as for these farmers, a glass of beer will do the trick. However, what he didn't expect was that the other party didn't have the slightest bargain and directly asked him to burn his companion to death.
"This ......" the sheriff hesitated, and the surrounding crowd suddenly became calm.
"What are you waiting for? Burn them ......"
"Burn them ......"
"Burn them......" The mayor finally couldn't resist the pressure and ordered a fire. At the last moment, he still looked back at Lu Qiming, he didn't believe that the other party would be so ruthless. However, the other party was talking to two of his subordinates, and he didn't even look at this side. For a while, the mayor only felt a wisp of cold air rushing to his head, and a huge sense of crisis enveloped him, but he didn't know where the crisis came from.
On the other side, Lu Qiming was explaining to Xu Qing.
"The road to the east of the town, as soon as I left the town and turned south into the woods, Wei Xingyun ran there. He may have been injured and couldn't hold on for long, go find him, bring him back. ”
"Understood."
"Liu Qing, you go and return these children to their parents, and then find the mayor to determine the child kidnapped by Wei Xingyun and others. He was the last child born in June. Don't let anything happen to him. ”
"Got it."
When the two teammates left, Lu Qiming turned to look at the two screaming figures. The sun of birth made the firelight not dazzling, but the terrible scream was unusually harsh. But Lu Qiming didn't waver in the slightest, and just looked at them like that, until the main god prompt of the death of his teammates came to his ears. Then he turned away without a hint of nostalgia.
In this world, there are undoubtedly a lot of hidden benefits that are worth buying. It's just that the movie doesn't show too much due to its length. But Lu Qiming still knows one of the biggest benefits of this article, that is, the wooden house where Wei Xingyun and the others were hiding.
The hut is not the key, the key is that underneath the hut is a cave. And that cave is a witch's lair. The lair of an unknown great witch. It is even very likely to be the mother of the protagonist, the lair of the strongest white witch. And in that witch's cave, there is one of the most critical props in the whole scene, which can be called the artifact of this movie, the Book of Abramrim. A powerful magic book of legendary level.
Of course, Lu Qiming will not miss this kind of thing. While there was still time, Lu Qiming decided to get the benefits first.
In the small town, eleven children ran to their parents in a panic, and at this time, the ears of Lu Qiming and the others finally heard a hint that they had completed the main task. They can choose to leave immediately, or after 24 hours.
At Lu Qiming's request, everyone chose to leave after 24 hours. To be precise, Lu Qiming's plan has just begun.
The mayor noticed that there were only eleven children, and he wanted to ask, but when he turned around, he found that Liu Qing had already disappeared. The mayor's uneasiness grew stronger, and he thought about it for a moment and decided to ask the children.
