Chapter 184: Taking Advantage of People's Danger
"Who?"
Wen Qiyue was a little puzzled.
I also frowned, there shouldn't be many people who usually come to this Seven Peaks Mountain, even if it's a hunter or an ordinary passerby who goes up the mountain, it stands to reason that they won't come to the bandits' den.
"I don't know, it is said that it is a farmer in the county who went up the mountain to collect mushrooms, but in this heavy rain he got lost and couldn't go down the mountain, and her husband's leg happened to be injured by a beast trap, so he came to our village for help."
Wen Qiyue got up: "Okay, let's take a look." ”
I just felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't think of it, so I got up and went out.
A man and a woman were in the hall, both of them looking a little nervous.
Wen Qiyue glanced at it, and her gaze fell on the man's ankle: "Are you injured?" ”
The man hurriedly said to Wen Qiyue: "Master Wenzhai, please be merciful and take me in for one night, and we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”
"What do you do?"
Wen Qiyue took a sickle and an axe that had been confiscated from the men and women handed over by the brothers in the village, and the rest of the weapons were not carried, and they did look like ordinary farmers.
The man bowed his head and replied: "I usually go into the mountains to dig some fungi or something to sell for money, the family has a few acres of land, and also raises silkworms and silk weaving, and there is an old mother in her eighties." ”
"In that case, you will stay in the stockade for a day......"
Wen Qiyue's words were interrupted by me, and I stepped forward and said, "This eldest brother, have you hired a maid to help you with the work?" ”
The man was stunned, didn't react to what I meant, and shook his head and said: "It's all a small family, and they do all the farm work by themselves, and the old mother in the family is also sick all the year round, and she has to take expensive foreigners' medicine. ”
"Really?"
I raised my eyes faintly.
Wen Qiyue seemed to realize something and didn't interject too much.
The bracelet on my wrist loosened slightly, and fell at the foot of the woman who had not spoken, but the woman stood on the side, and no one noticed, only the woman looked casually, and still did not say anything.
"Master Wenzhai, can you take a step to speak?"
I opened my mouth, and Wen Qiyue nodded.
——
"You say they're not ordinary farmers, how can you see that?"
Wen Qiyue's face sank.
I analyzed: "I just looked at the man's hands, they are not very rough, how can the hands of an ordinary farmer, exposed to the sun and rain, working in the fields every day, be so clean?" Also, he said that their family is very poor, so I can't say that they will definitely see the money, but when I see the bracelet I dropped, people with a discerning eye know that it is very valuable, but the woman only glanced at it, and she didn't care at all, Master Wenzhai, I think these two people should not be ordinary farmers, since they are not, then coming to you, it may be a bit ulterior, you have to guard against it. ”
"What you said makes some sense, okay, don't worry, I will keep an eye on the two of them, if you dare to make a little noise, I will pull them to feed the monkeys!"
Wen Qiyue snorted, her eyes full of ruthlessness.
——
In the middle of the night, the rain outside became heavier, and for the first time in my two lives, I slept in a bandit's den.
But I don't think Wen Qiyue, the female bandit, is not a bad person, and I don't have any uneasy emotions in my heart, but as soon as I close my eyes and think of Chen Jibai, I can't sleep after tossing and turning.
"Hey."
I kicked off the quilt and sat up, the window was always open, and the rain outside fell from time to time, adding a bit of coolness to the night.
I didn't feel sleepy, so I got up and stood at the window for a while, my hair wet from the rain, and I was about to go back and get a piece of clothing to put on, when I saw smoke billowing outside.
Immediately afterwards, in the rainy night, for no reason, a huge Kong Ming lantern floated up, the Kong Ming lantern was wet by the rain, the candle flame in it turned down, fell to the ground, somehow ignited a flame, in a silence, the sparks soon connected into a sea of fire.
"Someone set it on fire!"
This is my subconscious thought, and yes.
I immediately thought of the couple who stayed in the village, but I had already reminded Wen Qiyue why she could still let people set fires.
The most important thing is that the fire is not big now, and it is possible to extinguish it, but why didn't anyone in the village see it, could it be that they slept to death?
I hurriedly put on my clothes and opened the door and ran out, and when I looked up, I saw the lamppost burning and slamming down, and the fire splashed everywhere, like a dragon that breathed fire and roared, trying to swallow people with its bloody mouth open.
But the strange thing is that there is no one in the stockade, not even patrolling!
What the hell is going on?
I jumped up the steps with my skirt, I knew that Wen Qiyue lived on the other side, but I saw Wen Qiyue stumbling out injured, her feet were crooked, and she fell to the ground, seeing that the beam on her head was about to fall down, I rushed over without thinking about it, Wen Qiyue was about to get up, and I hit her, and the two of them rolled out together.
"Be careful!"
I stretched out my hand and pushed Wen Qiyue away, and the fire suddenly climbed up, only to hear a bang, and the entire house behind me collapsed, and there was a crackling sound of burning wood around me.
I dragged Wen Qiyue to be trapped in the sea of fire, Wen Qiyue gritted her teeth and pulled out the knife tied to her leg and pulled me behind me: "Thank you just now, it's not you, I'm going to be stoned to death." ”
"What's going on! What about your brothers? ”
I frowned, something must be wrong, otherwise Wen Qiyue would be like this, why hasn't there been support yet.
Wen Qiyue hated her teeth, and looked for a breakthrough in the sea of fire while guarding: "You reminded me today, and I also took it to heart, and transferred most of the brothers to another mountain, and only a small part is here, I just want to see what the hell they are doing, if they make trouble, it won't break all the brothers, but I didn't expect that I was already very guarded, and I was still hit, until now I don't know how we were poisoned, and they all fainted behind, if it wasn't for the monkeys to catch me, I couldn't wake up at all. ”
After a pause, Wen Qiyue said again: "And I just woke up, and I saw that woman wielding a knife to stab me to death, if I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been hacked to death by her!" The villain who takes advantage of the danger of others! ”
Sure enough, the two came with bad intentions.
"And the lives of your remaining brothers are in danger?"
I pursed my lips, Wen Qiyue is also an old man, obviously vigilant and was put on a side, fortunately she transferred most of her brothers away, otherwise wouldn't it be the whole army to be wiped out.
"They are all dizzy, their target seems to be me, so I ran out injured in order to lure them away, but the fire can no longer be controlled, and they will only be burned to death when they are dizzy!" Wen Qiyue looked very anxious, "Which bastard is coming to frame me and find trouble with my village!" ”
I looked at the sea of fire around me and thought of Song Tianming and them: "Then where are Song Tianming and them?" ”
"After you reminded me, I was afraid that something would happen to them, so I moved to the cellar first, the fire shouldn't be able to burn there, and Song Tianming was already in a coma, so he shouldn't come out."
As soon as Wen Qiyue finished speaking, a voice sounded outside the sea of fire: "Wen Qiyue, blame you for being nosy, today's disaster can be said to be your own fault, if you want to save the lives of your brothers, hand over Shen Qianxun." ”
What the?
You're coming for me?
I was stunned, and Wen Qiyue frowned.
The voice outside said: "Shen Qianxun, you don't want innocent people to die for you, you just come out by yourself!" ”
I smiled coldly: "There is fire everywhere, you let me come out by myself, do you want to burn me?" Do you think I'm an idiot? ”
"As long as you promise to come out, I will naturally save you and won't let you die now."
Wen Qiyue wanted to speak, I shook my head at her, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Okay, as long as you don't embarrass them, why don't I go with you?" ”
"What a guts! No wonder my master asked you by name. ”
Master?
Who is this master, and what do you want me to do?
I don't know why, but I always have a very familiar feeling.
My face sank, and the fire that had been lit next to me was extinguished by several buckets of water.
