Chapter Seventy-Eight: Erwang Mountain Cottage (II)

It turned out that this thief didn't give up, and sneaked back while everyone else was drinking, thinking that he would attack Mu Qingwan unconsciously.

The bandit smiled lewdly, rubbed his hands, and lowered his head to untie his belt.

At this time, Jing Yao's fingers curled, and a small pebble popped out into the distance, hitting the wall behind the bandit, and the sound of impact was particularly clear in the quiet environment.

"Who?" The bandit turned his head in panic and looked nervously behind him.

said that it was too late, Jing Yao jumped up, picked up the rope and strangled it around the thief's neck, and quickly wrapped it twice, tightening it fiercely.

The bandit didn't expect such a change to happen, and he grabbed the rope around his neck with both hands, and his body writhed sharply, struggling desperately.

"Woo, put, let go, let go, hand, help, life......"

Mu Qingwan got up and hurried over to help Jing Yao, but she didn't know where to start.

"Stay away!" Jing Yao was afraid that the bandits would hurt Mu Qingwan, so he told Mu Qingwan to stay away.

Although Jing Yao is only eleven years old, after all, he has practiced martial arts, and this bandit is average. The strength in his hand increased a little more, and after a while, the thief stopped struggling, and rolled his eyes to death.

After making sure that the bandit couldn't die anymore, Jing Yao let go of his hand.

Mu Qingwan silently twisted her head to the side and did not speak. This is not a society governed by the rule of law, and in the eyes of the people, those who commit adultery are innocent. There are even times when human life is really as cheap as mustard, just like a slave, Mu Qingwan heard a little about it when she was in the side.

But this is the first time Mu Qingwan has seen the murder scene with her own eyes, and it is impossible for her heart to be uncomfortable. But in the situation just now, if Jing Yao didn't do it, he would do it in order to protect his innocence. Jing Yao helped himself!

Jing Yao stood in place, quietly observing Mu Qingwan's expression, from tangled to relieved.

"Thank you for saving me just now, let's take this opportunity to leave quickly!" Mu Qingwan, who recovered, quickly sorted out her clues, and took advantage of the fact that the thieves were all going to drink, and the dungeon was unguarded, so the opportunity to escape was rare.

"Hmm." Seeing that Mu Qingwan had no other uncomfortable reactions, Jing Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, take the lead in opening the way ahead.

"I'll go up first, you wait down there for a while." Jing Yao asked Mu Qingwan to wait first, and then quickly climbed the ladder by herself, intending to go up first to see the situation.

"Nobody, come up!"

When both of them crawled out of the dungeon, there was no one nearby.

But when they were brought in, their eyes were closed, so they didn't know what their surroundings were like or where they should go, so they were both extremely cautious.

There were a few rooms some distance away, and there was smoke in the chimney, and the smell of rice was in the air, which should be the kitchen. It's not a wise choice to run around like a headless fly, and it's better to "find someone" and ask for directions.

Approaching the kitchen, there were two old women cooking, in fact, they should not be that old, but because they were not good-looking, and their skin was dark and rough, they looked like they were in their fifties. One of them was tall and thin, with a scar on his face, and the other was a cripple, the other shorter.

"Big sister, two people were tied up in the cottage today?" Said the tall woman.

"How do you know?" The short woman asked.

"My second dog said it, I heard that the second master personally went down the mountain to catch it, and many people saw it."

"Really? It's been a long time since you've robbed people back? Who is it? Haven't heard of robberies before? The short woman asked curiously.

"I don't know about this, I heard that I also robbed the eldest prince of a lady in the village, and she looks handsome."

"Pull it down, just the fool of the eldest prince, can you know the round house? It's also a big boss to be a baby. The short woman was unimpressed.

"Okay, okay, just your mouth is broken, what are you talking nonsense? Be careful to be heard. ”

"When I heard what I was afraid of, I was telling the truth." The short woman was weak-hearted, turned around to cook, and no longer paid attention to the tall woman.

"I don't know that mouth of yours? Okay, you cook a few more dishes, I'll bring those over first, and the sixth master is happy to drink it. The tall woman pouted, ignored the short woman, packed up her lunch box and left.

Jing Yao and Mu Qingwan glanced at each other and quietly entered the kitchen.

"Don't move! It's going to kill you again! Jing Yao took Mu Qingwan's small dagger and put it across her mother-in-law's neck.

"Hero, little hero spares his life." The mother-in-law was scared, she was a cripple, she was ugly, and no one in the cottage paid attention to herself, so she usually stayed in the kitchen to cook, where did she encounter this situation.

Mu Qingwan tied up her mother-in-law with a rope brought out of the dungeon.

"Now, I ask you to answer, you are not allowed to tell lies, and if you are discovered, you will not be spared!" Jing Yao intimidated her mother-in-law.

"I know, I know, what I say, I definitely don't dare to hide half a point." The mother-in-law immediately assured.

"What is this place? Who are the people here? ”

"This is the Erwang Cottage of Erwang Mountain, in fact, it is a den of thieves, I am just a cook, but I have never done anything harmful......"

"Don't be noisy, what do you say when I ask, less nonsense! Say, how many people are here, how many are in charge! Jing Yao shook the dagger in his hand and squinted at his mother-in-law.

"There are six masters, I don't know how many people, there are a lot of people, probably more than a hundred people." The mother-in-law shrunk her neck, didn't dare to say more, and answered honestly!

"Do you know how to get out of the cottage? How many people are guarding in the middle? Mu Qingwan interjected at the right time.

"Erwang Mountain is built on a mountain, with the main gate to the south, a cliff to the north, and woods on both sides. I don't know how to get out of the mountain, I don't know how many people are guarding me, I'm just a fire-burner cooking, I haven't been out of the cottage, I really don't know. ”.

It seems that the mother-in-law really doesn't know much, and the time is almost up, so that's all.

"Stay honest!" Jing Yao picked up the rag on the stove, stuffed it into the mother-in-law's mouth, and tied the mother-in-law to the cupboard.

It's much easier to have a general direction. It won't work to go south, Mu Qingwan remembered that when the thieves entered and exited the cottage, they had to shout. Erwang cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now it is not clear how many people in the cottage are guarding the main gate, so they rashly go to the south gate, I am afraid that there will be branches. Now I can only go to the east or west, but how can I go to the woods? I can only take one step at a time, maybe I won't have to wait long, and maybe I can wait for the rescuers.

The two of them chose the east side at random, but what neither of them expected was that there was a little accident in the middle.

"Stop, who's who?"

Seeing that Jing Yao and Mu Qingwan were about to leave the kitchen area, a shout suddenly came from behind them.

Jing Yao and Mu Qingwan turned around slowly, and saw a sweaty man with a red face, looking at the two of them staggeringly.

"Huh, two people, no, four people? Six people? The Great Khan shook his head, muttered to himself, and then turned away in a trance.

This man is drunk! Mu Qingwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
