Chapter 20: The Shocked Caravan
"Look at it like this, this room should be the 'secret base' that Jinshan is looking for."
After the search for Jinshan was over, Ren Xiaoyao searched in this house.
After a little turn, he was surprised to find that there were a lot of good things here, such as silk, medicinal herbs, vases and other things were placed in various corners.
"This guy, how many people have been robbed is this, and he is not unjustly killed!" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes showed a chill.
After searching all three rooms, he put together all the valuable things, and he didn't take the things here, and when Jin Shan came back from looking for those brothers one day, he would also take them away, but he couldn't leave them to be a scourge.
Things are piled up all over the place, and it is estimated that most of the looted ones have already been distributed to other bandits, and only a small part of them are here, so they can barely take them.
At the top was an iron box, which contained two or three thousand yuan, as well as a few pieces of jewelry in good condition. At a glance, you can see that it is the private collection found by Jinshan, similar to the existence of a "small vault".
Picked up a clear jade bracelet inside, and let it go into the sun, shining a green shadow, which was very beautiful.
"This bracelet is just for Xiuxiu."
Thinking of the gift he promised to give to Xiuxiu before leaving, Ren Xiaoyao's heart moved, and he suddenly made a decision, such a beautiful ornament, a girl like them will definitely like it, right?
Put the bracelet away closely, and the other things, Ren Xiaoyao just piled them up casually, put them all on a sheet, and then wrapped them up and tied them to his body.
Before walking to the trail, he carefully looked around a few times to make sure that nothing was missed, and then quickly got on the road, walking to the place where he had been coming.

In the middle of Hongxi Ridge, where the caravan was attacked.
At this time, the surviving caravan men had already collected the bodies of their companions, put them in the car, and prepared to take them back to their families.
Hong Ke's eyes were red and he carried a middle-aged corpse into the car, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Ma, you have a good journey, and I will help you take care of your aunt and little brother." โ
In this battle, more than half of the people in the caravan died directly, and even Hong Ming, who was in charge, almost died under the knife, which was really a heavy price.
Hong Ke walked to his father, who was sitting on the ground resting, and looked at his father's obscure face, looking extremely depressed.
Hong Mingqiang smiled, he didn't want to show weakness in front of his daughter.
"How's it going, how many people have died in total?"
His injuries were too serious, and he fought with Jin Shan before, and he almost gave up his life to barely support it for a moment, and at this time he didn't have the strength to stand up.
"Sixteen people died in all... Uncle Ma and Uncle Zhao are dead, and the rest are all injured. Hong Ke endured his grief and reported to his father.
"Lao Ma and Lao Zhao are gone... Everyone has been traveling together for more than ten years, but I didn't expect to survive today's hurdle. Hong Ming sighed, and finally couldn't help it, and two lines of turbid tears fell.
The caravan was pulled up by him, and all the people in it were known to him, and many of them had a bad relationship with him, like brothers and sisters, so how could he not be sad at this time.
"I don't know how Master Ye is doing..."Hong Ke suddenly muttered. If only that mysterious master could kill all the bandits with Master Ye, so that they could no longer harm others in the future.
When Hong Ming heard his daughter's words, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "We are here, and it is impossible to know what the situation is, waiting for everyone to be ready, we will go back to Foshan first, and then wait for the news." โ
After about half an hour, everything was packed, Hong Ming was placed in a car, and the caravan was ready to leave.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the east, and the man was rushing to this side with a large cloth bag in his hand.
"Wait."
Hong Ming's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to see the figure over there, and he felt a little familiar, so he stopped the caravan that was about to leave.
"Who's that?"
Some caravans also noticed that someone was coming over there, and they couldn't help but be curious.
After getting a little closer, everyone finally saw the man's face clearly.
"It's him!"
Hong Ke couldn't help but exclaim, her beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she was a little happy at the same time as she was surprised.
Distance
Ren Xiaoyao saw that the caravan hadn't left yet, and his feet couldn't help but speed up, the bag in his hand was not light, and he didn't know how much effort it would take to take it back alone.
When Ren Xiaoyao walked up, Hong Ming, who had been watching him move, couldn't help but ask curiously: "I don't know what Your Excellency is holding in your hand?" โ
Not only Hong Ming was curious, but everyone else was also curious, Ren Xiaoyao obviously didn't take anything when he left, but why did he bring so many things when he came back in just a few hours.
Could it be that he caught up with the bandits and found the bandits' lair?
Everyone thought of this possibility and looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
That's too fast, isn't it? And I don't know how much danger there is in the bandits' den, so Shi Shiran went and came back so unharmed, it's incredible!
Ren smiled and didn't hide it: "It's all silk, decorations and the like, I brought it back from the bandit's lair." โ
Sure enough, it was something brought back by the bandits' lair!
Everyone was shocked in their hearts, how many things are in such a large package? If they are all valuable guys, how much does it cost to convert them into?
Everyone was a little envious, but no one was jealous, everyone understood that if it weren't for the young people in front of them, they wouldn't be able to survive now.
"Your Excellency is really amazing, Hong Ming admires it." Hong Ming sighed with emotion, and looked at Ren Yao's gaze with even more admiration.
Next to him, Hong Ke couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "I wonder if the son can catch up with the golden mountain to find it?" โ
She also found out before that the direction that Ren Xiaoyao was chasing was the direction in which Jin Shan was looking for and fleeing, so she asked this question.
Ren Xiaoyao was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect this woman to guess that she was chasing Jinshan to find it, so she looked over, and when she found that the woman had a heroic face, which was different from ordinary women, she suddenly had a good feeling in her heart, nodded and smiled: "I caught up." โ
Hong Ke's eyes lit up and asked, "What is the result?" โ
"I've finished it."
Ren Xiaoyao has always had a warm smile on his face, and in the eyes of Hong Ke, who has been looking at him, he is simply handsome and extraordinary, and the words that killed Jin Shan in the middle of talking and laughing, she can't help but feel feelings in her heart.
Such an excellent man, when he meets him, is there any reason not to be impressed?
"The bandit leader was killed?"
"The bandit leader is dead!"
When the surrounding caravan guys heard this, they were all a little shocked, no one thought that Ren Xiaoyao could really catch up with Jin Shan and kill him, at this time, the eyes looking at him were no longer only grateful, but also a little looking up!
Hong Ming saw it on the side, and saw that his daughter was faintly moved, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it's really that his daughter is too old to be a father.
But if he can succeed, he will be happy to recruit such an outstanding son-in-law who is the dragon among people at first glance, but unfortunately, looking at the young man in front of him, he is obviously not interested in his daughter.
His face was silent, but his mouth was a trace of praise: "Your Excellency has high skills, this time for the people to eliminate harm, it is really happy, after the next return to Foshan, I will definitely make a big deal for Your Excellency, so that all people in Foshan know Your good deeds." โ
Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand: "No need." โ
He didn't come to kill the bandits to gain fame, just to be worthy of his own heart, whether this matter would be known by the people of Foshan He didn't care at all, anyway, he was not from this world.
Hong Ming thought that Ren Xiaoyao just didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he agreed verbally, but he didn't care much in his heart, some things others don't say, but can you really not do it? If this is really the case, then it is better to wash it as soon as possible, and don't come out to make people laugh.
"Master Ye hasn't come back yet, has he? Let's wait for him here, I'm sure he'll be back soon. Ren Xiaoyao didn't see Ye Man's figure, and knew that the latter should not have come back at this time, so he said to everyone in the caravan.
No one objected, and everyone waited like this for almost an hour, and Ip Man finally returned.
After coming back, Ye Man saw that Ren Xiaoyao was already there, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Ah Xiao, you came back early, the road conditions on my side are a little complicated, not to mention that people chased and lost, it took me a lot of time to find the way." โ
It turned out that this was the case, Ren Xiaoyao then understood why he came back after so much time chasing Jinshan, and Ip Man spent more than an hour more than him, so it turned out that he was lost.
"It's okay, I've already brought you the medicinal herbs." Ren Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Ye Man was shocked, his eyes were a little fixed and he looked at Ren Xiaoyao, and asked, "Ah Xiao, have you caught up?" โ
Ren Xiaoyao smiled and nodded: "Caught up." โ
Next to him, Hong Ke added: "It's not an ordinary bandit, it's the Jinshan looking for it." โ
Only then did Ip Man know that the family members of this gang of bandits turned out to be Jinshan.
Hearing the news, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "When he came to the door to compete with me, I only thought he was trying to gain a foothold in Foshan, so the means were a little more ruthless, so I didn't trouble him more, and let him leave after a lesson... I didn't expect him to be so cruel by nature, gathering a group of villains to do evil here, and I don't know how many people have died under his hands for so long... Alas! โ
Ye Man regretted it, he knew that now, he shouldn't have kept his hand in the first place, he wondered at the time, with that guy's skills, how could he not be able to get along in the north, and he still had to come to Foshan to beg for a living, now it seems that it is estimated that he has done too much evil over there and is not tolerated by the locals!
Ren Xiaoyao persuaded him on the side: "You don't have to blame yourself, we can't know what others think, and it's natural not to know what their nature is." โ
"yes." Hong Ming and Hong Ke's father and daughter also spoke on the side.
"I know that I don't bother about that."
Ye Man nodded, he just regretted it a little, but he didn't think much about it, not to mention that now that Jinshan had been killed by Ren Yao, the matter had come to an end, I just hoped that there would be no such villains in the future.
