Chapter 17: Respite

"It's over, it's over!" Village Chief Gao is relatively obese, and he is already prone to sweating, and at this time, he is sweating like rain, and his body is like sifting chaff. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"You are talking nonsense, where is there something worthy of thieves in Xiaoye Village, and which of the surrounding villages is not much stronger than Xiaoye Village. Village Chief Gao seemed to have found a life-saving straw at once, and shouted hoarsely.

Carpenter Zhang had never seen Village Chief Gao lose his temper like this, and he was also frightened, and said timidly: "I didn't lie, I didn't lie, this is what I heard with my own ears." "How did he know that the entire Xiaoye Village still has some wealth except for the village chief's family, and even if the rest of the people are let the thieves loot, how much they can lose, they will avoid it for the time being, and just don't let the thieves catch it.

When the village chief Gao heard Carpenter Zhang say the words "I heard it with my own ears", he vented in one breath, and he could no longer stand steadily, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, his home was in Xiaoye Village, and the wealth of the family could be transferred if he wanted to.

I heard Carpenter Zhang continue in a trembling voice: "Village Chief Gao, I was originally a carpenter in Fontaine City, you know. The Fortune Inn in Fontaine asked me to repair a few wardrobes that day, and I was in one room to remove the wardrobe door, and when I was preparing the tools to repair it, I suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed next door, accompanied by the laughter of a woman. As he spoke, he glanced at Village Chief Gao and Kuroko's father.

Village Chief Gao of the Fulai Inn naturally knew that it was one of the best inns in Fontaine City.

Seeing that the two didn't react, Carpenter Zhang smiled awkwardly: "I heard the woman laugh nicely, so I leaned over, only to find that there was a hole in the back of the wardrobe, which happened to be able to see the situation next door." ”

"I went up to see it, and I saw a man embracing a very beautiful woman, and she was so beautiful that I never ......."

Carpenter Zhang suddenly saw the angry gaze of Village Chief Gao, and hurriedly said: "As a result, not long after, several big men came into the room, and one of them had a long scar on his face, from his forehead over the bridge of his nose to the corner of his mouth. ”

"Ahh

The two glanced at each other, and a frightened name was about to come out, and finally it was the village chief Gao who said in a trembling voice: "Flame Thieves Group!"

The Flame Thieves were the same thieves who had been killing in a nearby village last year, and later the Temple of War distributed the portraits of the main members of the Thieves to each village, so that those who found the thieves reported to the Temple of War in time, and one of them had such a striking scar.

Seeing that the two of them were no longer talking, Carpenter Zhang continued: "I heard the big man with the scarred face close the door as soon as he entered, and asked a thief in a low voice: 'I said, fourth, are the brothers ready?' ’”

As a result, the fourth child didn't care, and said with a hippie smile, 'Big brother, why are you getting less and less courageous? Carpenter Zhang not only does carpentry work well, but also speaks vividly.

"The scar-faced man's face sank, 'What do you know, this raid on Xiaoye Village, but we can't let go of anyone, we must arrive at the predetermined place before dusk tomorrow, and launch a surprise attack on time at night. Speaking of this, Village Chief Gao and Kuroko's father let out an "ah" in unison.

The two looked at each other, glanced at each other, and then turned their eyes to Blacksmith Zhang, who said that his face had become colorless, he seemed to have returned to the room where he had eavesdropped, swallowed his saliva fiercely, and then said with difficulty: "I originally thought that another village would be unlucky, but I knew that their target was our Xiaoye Village." I was so confused that I couldn't listen to a word of what I was saying, and I wanted to run away, but I was so scared that I couldn't move my feet. ”

Village Chief Gao could imagine Carpenter Zhang's predicament at that time, and they were all terrified when they heard his description, not to mention that at that time, Carpenter Zhang's place was only separated by a wall from those thieves, maybe he could make a little noise, and be heard by the thieves over there, and he would be dead in an instant.

Eventually, the thieves walked out of the room, not knowing whether they were going to eat or what they were doing. After a long time, I heard no movement in the room over there, and then quietly withdrew from the room. I wanted to report such a big matter to the Temple of War. Speaking of this, Carpenter Zhang couldn't help but glance at Village Chief Gao.

Village Chief Gao nodded slowly: "Yes, as long as you tell the God of War Temple, the danger of my Xiaoye Village will be solved!"

Seeing that Village Chief Gao also agreed with his idea, Carpenter Zhang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said: "But I ran to the God of War Temple, but I didn't know what was going on with the black-clothed chief priest, and I actually went out with the guards of the God of War Temple, and there was only one guard to guard the door of the God of War Temple, and I didn't dare to tell the guards that the Flame Thieves were going to attack Xiaoye Village, so I left a letter for the chief priest, and then rushed all the way back to Xiaoye Village." ”

Father Heizi said with a slight hesitation: "Carpenter Zhang, why don't you inform the defenders of Fontaine City about the thieves group?" Hearing Father Heizi's words, Village Chief Gao also looked at Carpenter Zhang with an inquiring gaze.

Carpenter Zhang glanced at Heizi's father, looked around, and then said in a low voice: "The thieves have been making a lot of noise in the past two years, who knows if there is anyone in the local garrison who is complicit with them, anyway, I can't believe anyone, so I can only run back non-stop." ”

Village Chief Gao and Heizi's father have already believed Carpenter Zhang's words, although Carpenter Zhang is working as a carpenter in Fontaine City to earn money to support his family, his wife and children are all in Xiaoye Village, once the bandits raid Xiaoye Village, his wife and children will not be able to escape. Especially looking at his disheveled appearance, there must have been a lot of hardships on the road.

Village Chief Gao finally quieted down, knowing that it was useless to be afraid, so he said slowly: "You said that they would attack Xiaoye Village tomorrow night, then we still have time, let's hide in the mountains overnight tonight." Village Chief Gao sighed, there was no way to dodge.

Carpenter Zhang looked at the village chief blankly, as if he had something to say, and swallowed back when the words came to his mouth.

Village Chief Gao glanced at the carpenter, and said with a displeased face: "What else do you have to say, just say it directly, what are you doing?"

Carpenter Zhang glanced at the sky out of the corner of his eye, and said curtly: "Village chief, it's not tomorrow night, it's tonight." ”

"What?" Village Chief Gao seemed to have been bitten by a poisonous snake, jumped up suddenly, grabbed Carpenter Zhang's collar with both hands, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, "What did you say?"

Carpenter Zhang was also frightened, and his words were almost unclear: "Village Chief, after I got the news, I ran to Xiaoye Village overnight, but you also know that Xiaoye Village and Fontaine City are not close, I ......."

"You didn't ride a horse and ran back with your feet?" Carpenter Zhang nodded helplessly.

Village Chief Gao directly wanted to cry without tears, but what was the use of complaining at this time, he always gave Xiaoye Village a chance to breathe when he ran back.
