Chapter 45: The Robbery Begins
The thieves who led the way took the five Mo He to the cage, a total of eight girls, all of whom were locked up in the same cell. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There are those who wear gorgeous clothes, and there are those who are plainly dressed.
The three girls in gorgeous clothes are all in good spirits, there are no scars on their bodies, and their hands, feet and faces are fairly clean.
Most of the five girls in plain clothes were mentally tired, and several of them had large marks of whiplash on their arms and faces.
When these imprisoned girls saw Ah Fu, they all rushed to the edge of the cage, crying for Ah Fu to save them.
"Ah Fu, grandpa sent you, get me out, I don't want to stay in this hellish place anymore." A gorgeously dressed girl shouted, and she pushed aside several plainly dressed girls around her.
Two other gorgeously dressed girls also stood behind this girl, and they also pushed the other girls, and one skinny one was pushed to the ground, fell to the side, and then wiped his eyes with his black hands, and cried silently.
Several girls next to her crouched down to comfort her, while staring at the three gorgeously dressed girls with angry eyes.
"Ah Fu, did you come with ransom? Save us, save us!"
A girl with a wound and a thick yellow cloth skirt cried loudly and begged for Ah Fu.
Boom!
The bandit kicked at the cage and said, "What are you shouting, what are you shouting, squat back!"
The girls were dumbfounded with fright, and they all retreated, and only three richly dressed girls were still standing at the edge of the cage, and the thieves looked at them, and then with a strange smile on their faces, they turned back to Mo He and said, "All right! Let's go back and reconcile the accounts, and then we can lead people back. ”
Mo He nodded in response, and then said to Ah Fu: "The people who want to redeem are here, right?"
"Uh-huh! Ah Fu replied in a low voice.
"Okay, let's go pay the ransom. Mo He said to the bandits.
Then the group returned to the big hut and saw that the red cloth towel had just finished talking to a few mercenaries who had also come to ransom them.
The red cloth towel looked back and saw Mo He and a few people, so he said: "How is it? Are people still satisfied with it? Don't worry, none of them are missing arms or legs." ”
"Why are they all hurt, what did you do to these girls?" Wren asked as he stepped out of the door.
"Oh! The rules in the house are that both men and women have to work to eat. If a few girls refuse to work hard, then we must punish them, otherwise it will not be good for everyone else to follow their example. “
The red cloth towel looked a little difficult for Ren to look and dress, so he didn't get angry because he interrupted himself to talk to Mo He.
Wren wanted to continue asking, but Mo He stopped him, and Mo He patted him on the shoulder to imply that he would leave the matter to himself.
"What kind of work are you all doing for the hostages? Usually do some hard work so that you won't be uncooperative, right?" Mo He asked the question for Ren.
"Hey, hey, hey. Men do the work during the day, and women do it at night. Well, you're asking too much. No nonsense, I'm busy, pay the money and leave. The red cloth towel didn't have so much patience to continue to explain, if it wasn't for the benefits he had received before, he wouldn't have spoken so well to Mo He and them.
"Yes, the ransom we were given by our employer was not enough to ransom everyone, we only ransomed a few of them. Mo He offered to redeem only a part of the hostages.
"Not enough money? How much ransom do they have to pay?" After the red cloth towel asked Mo He, without waiting for Mo He to answer, he asked the bandit who had taken Mo He and the others to see people before.
"Boss, there are eight girls in all, and they have to pay four hundred gold coins. The bandit loudly reported the number of hostages and the amount of the ransom to the red cloth.
The red cloth scarf was stunned for a moment, and it was hard to hide the shock in his heart, eight girls, four hundred gold coins, the leaders are the leaders, and they are too good at trading.
"Some of the gold coins we brought with us, and some of the gold and silver vessels, a ransom of a hundred gold coins. "Mo He reported the ransom amount in a timely manner, although it would make the other party have a big gap, but the ransom of one hundred gold coins was not a small amount.
Sure enough, the red cloth towel's face showed displeasure, but he still opened his mouth and asked Mo He: "Then how many do you plan to ransom?"
"Three. Mo He quickly reported the number of people.
"No, two at most. Ask your employer to scrape together some more money, or the girls will have to go to the brothel and make up the rest of the money on their own. The red cloth towel shook his head in refusal.
"Then redeem two first. Mo He deliberately frowned and pretended to think about it for a while, and then made a decisive decision.
"Okay, you send someone with my people to bring people. We've counted the numbers here. You can pay money with one hand and hand over to others. ”
Mo He showed an inexplicable smile at the red cloth towel, and then he heard Mo He shouting: "Eighth Master do it!"
The next moment, several thieves beside the red cloth towel were instantly killed by several ice crystal nails released by the eighth master.
The red cloth towel just wanted to call for help, but Mo He pinched his mouth with five fingers, and the call stopped.
"Where is our equipment?" asked Mo He in a deep voice.
The red cloth towel was pressed to the ground by Mo He, his mouth couldn't speak, he stretched out his finger and pointed to a room next to him, and then Mo He looked at Ren, who understood and walked in.
Then the equipment was taken out.
"Wren! I'll leave this to you!" Mo He handed the red cloth towel to Wren and said solemnly to Wren.
Seeing that Ren was a little hesitant, Mo He added: "He knows which village we are saving." ”
Wren nodded to show that he understood, and the red scarf shook his head desperately, writhing and struggling wildly, and his mouth kept making a rapid whining sound.
Seeing this scene, the eighth master thought about it and still covered Shaanna's eyes with his hands, although the little girl may have been used to blood and corpses, but this behavior of slaughtering people like pigs still didn't let her see it.
Wren's sword grazed the neck of the red cloth, and the blood gurgled out, and his limbs struggled wildly before he stopped moving.
"Boss, we saw a man break in just now...... "A bandit ran in with a weapon, it was the bandit who had fought with Shui Yue before and came in to report the news.
Mo He rushed over and grabbed him, pulled him into the house, and then slammed his fist into the head, knocking him unconscious.
Mo He looked at the blood in one place, and there was no need to hide the corpse, so he said to everyone: "Okay! There is not much time, do as planned." Eighth Master, you take Shaanna and Ah Fu to the gorge and wait for us. Wren and I went to save people, and we'll be here in a moment. ”
"Okay! Eighth Master, don't worry. Stay safe yourselves. After the eighth master agreed, he took Sha Anna's hand and left the big wooden house.
Seeing Ah Fu holding the wooden box alone and following behind the eighth master with difficulty, Mo He didn't bother to say anything and suggested that he put down the box and escape.
Maybe this box is more important to him than his own life, after all, one hundred gold is not a small amount for a poor mountain village, it can save the life of an entire village, so he has nothing to say about carrying the box.
Besides, time is pressed now, and there is no time to waste on these things of tongue, so Mo He beckoned Wren to leave the big room together.
The guards in the cottage had been secretly paying attention to the situation when they checked the hostages just now.
There are five or six thieves in the cage who will take turns walking around to check the cage, but they are all relatively separated, and it is not a big problem for them to move alone.
The big problem is that there are some bandits who are walking around patrolling or gathering together to have fun in the open space outside the cage, and then there are three-story bandit houses around the mountain wall, and there are six fixed high-altitude outposts on each floor, each of which has at least three bandits, or playing cards or looking around.
One of the most troublesome is the high sentry point, from their position, the ground is unobstructed, and when they rob people for a while, there is no way to avoid their ears and eyes.
After leaving the room, Wren and Mo He acted separately.
Wren waited around to create a movement to attract attention, while Mo He dived directly into the cage in the middle of the col to save people.
Wren's equipment is more eye-catching, and as soon as he came out, he was targeted by several bandits, but he didn't pay attention to them, like when he came in, he stuck his sword in the shield, so for these bandits, he was just a mercenary who was about to leave after completing his mission.
As for how that equipment was brought in, it wasn't something they bothered about.
Wren had noticed some iron braziers near the tent and cage, which were now extinguished during the day.
The brazier consisted mainly of some animal fat and a few sticks of wood for the wick.
Most of the wooden houses built around the mountains are not far apart, and in each room, the small ones can live at least five or six people, and the large ones can live ten or twenty people, and after a while, there will be bandits pouring out of these anthills.
There was a spark in Wren's eyes, how to get to the houses now, and light the fire before the surrounding bandits stopped him.
He pretended to walk slowly towards one of the exits, there were eight entrances in total, and the one he walked at was not the one he had come in before.
It takes about forty or fifty seconds to get from here to the nearest brazier and light the fire.
If someone interrupts it during this time, then the fire cannot be released, and you can only concentrate on responding to the enemy.
But if you don't light a fire, you can't deal with a large number of enemies on your own, and you will definitely be surrounded and killed in the end.
Maybe you really have to fight it, how do you know it won't work if you don't try?
Wren exhaled softly, ready to carry out his plan, only to see another, better opportunity to cause chaos - the stable.
There is a stable outside this exit, and there are many horses in it, guarded by bandits, and it should not be a place for outsiders to enter.
But there were only five thieves guarding the gate, and they could handle it themselves.
Wren bowed his head and walked quickly towards the gate, and the thieves guarding the gate came to meet him together, and one of them shouted: "Stop!
When they got closer, Wren knocked them away with his shield and then rushed to the stables.
One of the bandits went to help his companion who had been knocked away, while the other three turned to chase Wren.
In the distance, a group of bandits patrolling in the direction of the stables saw someone breaking into the stables, and a group of ten people ran quickly.
