Chapter 30: Hitting the Street
The sky was dark, the air was cloudy, bleak, and the tiger who had been busy for a day returned to his home tiredly, and it was not a worry-free thing to trade the caravan and the goods in the village on this day, and it was necessary to unload the goods brought by Yan Pengyu, and then load the goods of the villagers, so as to ensure that the caravan could depart on time the next morning, even if there were the guys of the caravan and many villagers to help, it was also exhausting, and it felt more tiring than going to hunt in Ashan.
Cang Xiyue has prepared dinner for him, as for the blue wolf, he has to supervise the middle-aged men in the village, continue to improve the defense of the wall, and always pay attention to the direction in which the jackals may appear - although there are also sentinels on the periphery, but who dares to guarantee that in the face of the gnolls, they will be able to send back the alarm in time?
"Second brother, I've already boiled the hot water, you can pick it up yourself after eating, take a bath and rest early." Cang Xiyue looked at Canghu's tired appearance and said softly, "The dishes and chopsticks are placed here, and I will clean them up later." ”
"Well, Xiyue, you don't have to worry about me, go back and rest early. Canghu took a few bites of food and put the chopsticks down. In a mountain village in winter, there can be any delicious meals, and he has no appetite at all now.
Cang Xiyue twisted her fingers and asked softly, "Second brother...... Haven't you heard from Brother Lin yet?"
Canghu raised his eyes to look at her, and said with a forced smile: "Don't worry, he will be back soon, in that mountain forest, he is more relaxed than the second brother and me, and no beast can threaten him." ”
Cang Xiyue sighed faintly, turned around and walked out, and closed the door.
Seeing her go out, Canghu sighed for a long time, how could he not see his sister's thoughts, but Lin Bin has not heard from him until now, and his heart has been hanging in his throat, if it weren't for the Yanjia caravan here, he would have to enter Asan again. He touched the stone talisman hidden close to him, and sighed in his heart. Lin Bin came back safely, and it would never be possible for him to stay in Dongling Village forever in the future.
He picked up the chopsticks again, no matter how bad his mood was, he still had to eat, not to mention that after the Yanjia caravan left, he would be ready to enter the mountain again. It's a pity that he hasn't eaten a few bites of food, and the door was slammed open from the outside, and a young and strong villager rushed in and said, "Brother Tiger, something happened!"
At the gate of the small courtyard where Qi Dongyang and they lived, a lot of people had gathered at this time, in addition to the villagers of Dongling Village, there were also the men and guards of the Yanjia caravan, Qi Dongyang had a gloomy face, and the other six guards from the Kunpeng Gang stood around him.
In the center of the crowd, a middle-aged man lay on the ground with his eyes closed, and a skinny girl lay on top of him and whimpered and cried. The villagers of Dongling Village, who were standing next to them, all showed angry expressions.
"Captain Qi, what's going on?" the crowd parted, and Yan Pengyu walked in.
"This person stole our things, and a jade pendant that Captain Qi often played with is missing. Bald Aso pointed to the man lying on the ground and said, "We also lost money!"
"You talk nonsense, my dad wasn't a thief!" the girl looked up and choked.
Ji Zhongmin's eyes looked at Yan Pengyu, but he said disdainfully: "Yes or no, it's not a mouth!"
"Nonsense, Feng Yue is not that kind of person!" someone around shouted angrily, "Although our Dongling Village is poor, there are no such people!"
At this time, an old man walked out of the crowd and said, "The big shopkeeper, Captain Qi, Canghu will come over soon, whether Feng Yue stole your money or not, everyone will ask clearly." ”
"Even if the city lord is here, we still have to say that he stole our things!" Ji Zhongmin sneered, "No one can change this!"
Yan Pengyu's brows have been twisted, he has been to Dongling Village many times, and he is still relatively familiar with Dongling Village, although it is inevitable that there will be some sneaky and slippery, stealing chickens and dogs everywhere, but the rural folk customs are relatively simple, and it is a fact. Judging from his previous experience with Dongling Village, he didn't believe that this villager named Fengyue would do such a thing. However, these mercenaries led by Qi Dongyang have always had a bad reputation in Xinghai City, and they have caused trouble a lot.
But as the leader of the caravan, Qi Dongyang and they are also considered to be in the caravan, and they still need their escort on the return trip, and he can't say anything without evidence. can only wait for the tiger to come over and then make a decision.
Since it was dark and the gate of the village was closed, Lin Bin wanted to surprise the Canghu brothers, so he avoided the eyes of the patrolling villagers and lookouts on the wall, and quietly entered the village. Before he could reach Canghu's small courtyard, he saw a sneaky figure coming out of the courtyard next to Canghu's house, carrying a big bag behind him. The man was dressed in black and masked with a black cloth, which was difficult to distinguish in the night, but for Lin Bin, it had no effect, and Lin Bin immediately wondered when outsiders came to this village. And this person is dressed like this, and he just turned out of the courtyard of Cangxi Yue's house, obviously he didn't do anything good!
Redlin was proud, as a scout in the team, his ability to fight head-on was not very high in the squad, but there was no better person to take someone from the village quietly. What's more, Qi Dongyang and the others made such a big fuss, Canghu hurried over, and took away four men in the prime of life, so the defense in the family was naturally weakened. It didn't take much effort for him to get the job done.
Dongling Village covers an area of not small, the streets are wide, but there are not enough lights, so he doesn't have to go high, he goes directly to the street to the wall, he has found a hiding place outside the village, and when the day is a little bright, he will take people away, waiting for news from Qi Dongyang. Although it is also a bit risky to do so, this is the edge of Ashan, too far away from the village, and he is alone and stares at a woman, and his safety is rarely guaranteed. Moreover, he thought that the Cang family would probably find out that the woman was missing until early tomorrow morning, and by that time, even if all the villagers of Dongling Village went out to look for her, he would have stayed away.
In the cave in the wild, lonely men and widows, although Qi Dongyang warned him not to act and cross the line, but patting and touching, who would find out about this? Thinking of the subtlety, Redlin couldn't help but let out two obscene chuckles.
Canghu's house was not far from the wall, and Redlin was even more excited when he saw that he was about to go to the wall.
Suddenly, a hand slapped him on the shoulder without warning, and then he went numb, and Redlin couldn't help but rush into the street......
