0320 Old gentleman's speculation

On the way back to the inn, Mr. Qiao Fuhai suddenly stopped me, and said with a serious expression that he had something very important to tell me.

"Young man, you are a very good person, you met a thief just now and dared to make a move, and many people may not, after all, when you go out, you just meet in Pingshui, there is no need to take risks for a person who has only known each other for two or three days, so, I want to tell you one thing."

The old gentleman's words really aroused my curiosity, and he wanted to say something to me.

"Do you remember the skinny man who was in the car with us?" The old gentleman asked.

I nodded, of course I remembered, after all, there were only a few people in the car, how could they forget.

"This man...... He has a problem! When Mr. Qiao Fuhai said this, he glanced left and right, looking very worried.

Does he have a problem? I didn't understand for a while what was wrong with this person, whether it was a mental problem or a physical problem.

"There's something wrong with this person's identity!" The old gentleman pursed his mouth, "He said that he was a coolie and went to the county town to find a long-term job, but I know that he should be lying, and his identity is not so simple." ”

I didn't interject and waited for the old gentleman to continue.

"I don't know if you have noticed his hands, the calluses on his right hand are obviously much more than those on his left, obviously they were not left by hard work, I know, they were left by a knife all year round!" The old gentleman's expression became more and more solemn, "Moreover, he often observes the situation of the caravan guards and trucks, so I guess that he may not come from the right way and is an undercover agent of the bandits!" ”

Undercover agent for bandits?

I took a breath of cool air, the old gentleman's words seemed to open up my second vein, and in an instant I thought about something, no wonder I felt a faint familiar taste when I saw the man's eyes for the first time, I didn't think it clearly at the time, but now I understand, it is a little similar to the eyes of those mountain bandits who were taken by me.

The difference is that this man's eyes are more calm and sharp, and the hidden coldness and fierceness are also more intense, if it is not an accident, this man's strength is stronger than those mountain bandits!

"Since this person is an undercover agent for bandits, then he is fighting the idea of a caravan?" I think the old gentleman asked, and I admired him in my heart, it looks like an old Jianghu!

From scaring off a group of thieves with one mouth just now, and seeing that there is something wrong with the man in the same car, it is really not simple, and it is definitely not something that ordinary old gentlemen can do.

"Of course, for the caravan's goods, I think, it is very likely that his accomplices are waiting for the caravan somewhere on the road to the county town, ambush halfway, launch a surprise attack, and he will take it as a pick-up!"

Seeing the old gentleman say this, I hurriedly said that I should not tell Boss Wu immediately, so that he can be on guard.

"No!" The old gentleman immediately rejected my idea, "Now you have two choices, one is to leave the caravan immediately and follow another caravan to the county town, or pretend that you don't know anything, let alone tell the caravan about it." ”

I don't understand a little, I understand if I change the caravan, stay away from the danger, but why pretend not to know, I can't tell the caravan.

The old gentleman saw that I was confused, so he explained earnestly.

"First of all, that person can use a knife, and it is certain that he will always carry a knife, but the fact that he is a bandit is completely speculation, what if he is a butcher? Right? Then didn't we wronged the good guy, and made that man jealous, which is not good. ”

But I feel that nine times out of ten, that man is a bandit, and his eyes are exactly the same as those mountain bandits, and he will never be wrong.

"Secondly, even if he is a mountain bandit, we told the news to the Wu boss, so what will the Wu Lao do will definitely deal with this mountain bandit ruthlessly, and the mountain bandit will definitely appear on the way, if the caravan wins the mountain bandit, if it loses, won't you and I be miserable? Once the mountain bandits know that it was the two of us who said this, our lives will be at risk! ”

"Even if the caravan wins, we won't do us any good, in case the mountain bandits have a grudge and seek revenge on us, how can we resist?" The old gentleman looked at me.

"Therefore, we can only choose not to say anything, even if the caravan loses to the mountain bandits, generally speaking, the mountain bandits only seek money, and will not take our lives, but there is no need to worry about the danger of our lives."

After listening to Mr. Qiao Fuhai's words, I really didn't know what to say, I actually analyzed so many possibilities, and took them all into account, if it was me, I would definitely not think about anything, so I went directly to tell Boss Wu about it.

The old gentleman patted me on the shoulder: "Moreover, as the leader of the caravan, Boss Wu has a lot of experience, so he may not be fine, even I, the old man, can see that there is something wrong with that man, maybe Boss Wu has already noticed it." ”

I lowered my head slightly and thought about it.

"If you're worried about the bandits, it's best to choose to stay in Yunhai City and choose another caravan to go to the county town." The old gentleman looked at me as if waiting for me to make a decision.

I did not rush to answer whether to leave the caravan or not, but asked him why he didn't leave since he already knew that the caravan was in danger of being robbed by bandits.

The old gentleman looked up at the sky and sighed; "The cost of going to the county town is not low, a full seven blue crystal coins, and if you quit halfway, you won't be refunded, how can I bear to waste it, it's all hard-earned money."

I really didn't know what to say when I heard him say that he didn't choose to leave the caravan because he was definitely not a poor man, at least a middle class, less than an amethyst coin, and he didn't even care about his own life, which really opened my eyes.

"Since the old gentleman is reluctant to pay this fare, how can I be willing to waste it, anyway, there is no danger to my life, so let's continue to follow the caravan, maybe that person is really just a pig killer."

The old gentleman saw that I did not choose to leave, but risked following the caravan with a little surprised expression, but did not continue to say anything, just nodded.

After talking about things, the two of us continued to walk towards the inn, and returned to the inn and returned to the room.

In order to save money, it is certainly impossible for the caravan to arrange a separate first-class room for the accompanying passengers, and it is a multi-person room, the couple with the child lives in one room, and I live in the same room with the old gentleman and the man who is suspected of being an undercover bandit by the two of us.

When we came back, the man was not there, and it was not until midnight that the man came back from outside, and I was already in bed.

If it was in the past, I wouldn't have thought much about it, but now that I realize that he might be an undercover agent of the bandits, I can't help but think a little too much, guessing if he should be connected with the bandits?

Very early, all the people in the caravan gathered at the warehouse and prepared to leave.

It looked the same as ever, it was calm, everything was normal, except for me.

I didn't look at that man a few days ago, but now I can't help but sneak a few glances, trying to determine whether this person is an accomplice of bandits through some small movements of this person, but in order not to startle the snake and cause unnecessary trouble, I can't look more.

Looking at Boss Wu and the busy guards, I hesitated a little in my heart, should I give Boss Wu a wake-up?

Just as I was thinking about this, Boss Wu came over, stretched out his hand and patted me on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Everyone didn't hear the story you told yesterday, but they were all very anxious, and tonight we must tell how the stone monkey Sun Wukong fought against the 100,000 soldiers and horses." ”

After a few days of contact, I also have a certain understanding of Boss Wu, who is a very cold-hearted person, although he has a long scar on his face, looks fierce, and seems to be difficult to get along with, but on the contrary, he is really good, and he is very polite to several passengers.

I pondered for a moment and said, "No problem, alas, but I'm always worried that we won't meet bandits on the road, because a while ago in my hometown, there was an incident of mountain bandits coming down the mountain to kidnap and extort money." ”

"Bandits?" Boss Wu raised his eyebrows, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he patted me on the shoulder again, "Don't worry, even if you encounter mountain bandits, we can protect your safety, I want to see which group of mountain bandits ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to rob the caravan I led." ”

I saw Boss Wu take a vague look at the black carriage.

After Boss Wu walked away, I also glanced at the black carriage, for so many days, I didn't see anyone getting down from the black carriage, if it wasn't for the guards delivering food, it would make me wonder if it was an empty car.

But the question arises again, doesn't the one in the black carriage pee without? It's strange how I never got out of the car.

After returning to the carriage, I did not look at the man sitting beside me, but asked Mr. Qiao Fuhai who was sitting in the luxurious black carriage.

The old gentleman touched his chin and thought about it: "I think it should be a very strong Xuanwu master." ”

As soon as they heard the three words Xuanwu, everyone in the carriage paid attention.

"There are a lot of goods in this caravan, there are ten carriages, the value is not low, although there is Boss Wu, but I think it is not completely safe, so there must be other stronger Xuanwu people here, nine times out of ten it is on that carriage."

Well, he and I think the same thing.

"Oh...... I see. I deliberately pulled a long voice, and then nodded my head, "Then I guess the one in the carriage must be very powerful, and he will definitely be able to protect us from reaching the county seat safely." ”
