The coin lay silently on the ground and did not move. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mo He's expression did not change when he saw the result.

The eighth master's expression was very complicated, both happy and sad.

Wren's expression was one of frowning and incredulous.

Shaanna looked puzzled, she looked left and right, and then at the water moon in the tent.

The coins on the ground have the patterned side up, which is the reverse side, and the water moon cannot join the Little Daisy Mercenary Group.

"We can't take in Miss Suizuki. Eighth Master, please explain it to Miss Shuiyue. Mo He was the first to speak, he turned his head to look at Shui Yue, who was still sitting quietly, and found that the other party was staring at him, he didn't see a trace of weakness in the other party's eyes, she was really a strong girl.

Mo He turned his gaze away, he was worried that he would change his decision as soon as he relented.

"Okay! That's all I have to say. The eighth master agreed, got into the tent and started talking to the girl in the water moon.

After listening to the words of the eighth master, the girl did not react in particular, she sat upright, bowed to the eighth master and Mo He and the others, and then said goodbye to the eighth master that Mo He and they could not understand.

Then he got up and took his sword, put on his hat again, got out of the tent, and walked alone towards the front of the road. The wide black robe faded away, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

At this time, Mo He and Ren Ren, as well as the eighth master and Sha Anna, began to pack their things and prepared to continue to advance towards Youmai Village.

Yesterday, I had already walked most of the way, and the rest of the road was not far, and the eighth master said that he should be able to reach it by noon.

Everyone didn't talk much along the way, and Sha Anna also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so she didn't sing, but just quietly opened the way in front, while the eighth master was by her side.

I don't know if it's an illusion or what, Mo He feels as if he is being targeted by that familiar look behind him.

He quickly looked around, surrounded by dwarf pine trees, and behind him a few unknown travelers were walking on their own path, and found nothing out of the ordinary.

Mo He shook his head, maybe it was really an illusion.

Ren has been frowning since he sent Shui Yue away, and even when Mo He handed him water to drink, he still kept this state.

It was so silent until noon before I came to Youmai Village.

Outside the village, some people saw Mo He and the four of them coming, some came to greet them, some ran into the village, and some continued to do farm work.

The eighth master inquired with a few farmers who came to greet him, and after confirming that it was Youmai Village, he said that he would tell the farmers about the ransom escort.

A few peasants were very excited, some helping to lead the horses, some leading the way, until they reached the small square of the village, where a few villagers were guarding an old carriage covered with linen and thatch, and the box was supposed to be the ransom.

Seeing Mo He and the others coming, the villagers guarding the carriage did not move, and the farmer who led the way entered the house next to the small square, and then soon an elderly man was helped out of the house.

"The gods of Oten, who have finally sent you. The old man saw the heavily armed Ren and Mo He, and then said to the eighth master at the front.

Obviously, he regarded the eighth master as the head of several people.

"Old man, the head of the regiment is this one, you can discuss anything with him. The eighth master got out of the way and introduced Mo He behind him to the old man.

"Hehe! Don't blame the head of the regiment! We are finally relieved that you are here, and we are worried that if no one comes to help this time, what will we do on our own. The old man looked sad.

"The old man is not in a hurry, please tell me about this matter slowly. Mo He politely spoke to this old man.

"Good, good. The old man, my body and bones are not as good as before, and I can't stand for a long time, so we went into the house together and drank some tea while listening to me talk about it. The old man invited everyone into the house to talk, and after receiving a reply, he was helped by the villagers next to him to go in first.

This room doesn't look big from the outside, but it is very clean inside, and it has all the living facilities.

A basket of fresh fruit sits on a large round table of sturdy elm, and several high-backed chairs are placed next to the round table.

On one side of the wall is a large cypress bed covered with a soft woolen blanket.

On one side of the bed is a dark wood wardrobe with a beautiful silver metal clasp on the wardrobe doorknob.

On the other side of the bed was a small fireplace, and it wasn't cold yet, so there was no fire.

Near the small fireplace there are two benches covered with soft animal skins, which can be used to entertain guests and rest as beds when needed.

In front of the two benches is a small coffee table with ceramic teapots and teacups placed on them.

The fireplace used to have a room doorway, the door was closed, and the situation inside could not be understood.

When he entered the village, Mo He has been looking at this village, most of the villagers' houses here are very dilapidated, some are earthen sheds, some are small wooden sheds, the roofs are made of trees and dead branches and straw, look at the situation of the earthen walls, and the degree of decay of the wooden sheds, all of which have not been renovated for a long time.

Later, among these scattered and dilapidated sheds, there were several white stone courtyards, the appearance of the houses was clean and tidy, the courtyard was separated by a wooden fence, and the courtyard was green and shady, which looked like the rich people of this village lived.

Now looking at the layout of the old man's residence, Mo He has a preliminary judgment on this village and the old man, the old man should be the one who manages this village, the gap between the rich and the poor in the village is very large, and the reason for this situation is not easy to guess.

Let's listen to what the old man said about the escort ransom first, after all, I only came here to do a mission.

After the old man was helped to sit down, he asked Mo He and the four of them to pour some tea, and then began to talk about the task.

"Here's the thing, two days ago a gang of thieves on horseback stormed the village, killed several villagers, and tried to rob several of our families.

Several of us went to the next village, but the bandits couldn't find us, nor did they find the belongings we had hidden.

They took eight beautiful girls in the village as hostages, and then said: They are bandits in Blade Mountain, and they will kill all the hostages if they do not pay 400 gold coins for ransom within seven days. ”

After the old man finished talking about what had happened, he stopped to drink his saliva.

Mo He thought for a moment and asked, "How many girls have you been captured?" Do you have a ransom of 300 gold?"

"How can we have so much ransom, we scraped together, plus some jewelry and utensils, and we only made up more than a hundred gold, not to give you a commission, so we can barely have a hundred gold. The old man had a difficult look on his face.

"How many girls have you been arrested?" Mo He interrupted the old man's complaint and asked.

"Oh, we've got eight girls in total. That's where we get stuck. We only have a hundred ransoms, and the thieves will definitely not let all the girls go. So that's the point I want to talk to a few of you. The old man's voice began to grow lower.

"Important, please!" Mo He kept his volume normal and did not speak in a low voice like the other party.

"Well, that's right, we mainly redeem the two girls for this hundred gold, and the rest of the girls can be exchanged for as many as they want. We'll send someone to show you the way, and we'll recognize people by the way. The old man spoke slowly, and whispered the key points to Mo He and the others.

"Oh! I can only save two people. Mo He's expression did not change, he lowered his head and drank the tea, and spit out a sentence lightly.

"It's not two. Oh, oh, I see, hahaha, yes, yes, only two, only two. As long as the person comes back unscathed, your commission is doubled. The old man denied it, and then as if he understood the meaning of Mo He's words, he couldn't help laughing.

"Don't be happy so early, you only send one person with us, aren't you afraid that we will run away with the ransom?" Mo He interrupted the old man's laughter.

"This ...... I really hadn't thought about it. But since you have taken the initiative, I think so, you have a little girl, and it is not easy for you to ransom people with her, so it is better to let the little girl live in our village first, and we will definitely not let people hurt her. The old man's white eyes turned very quickly, and he had an idea after seeing Sha Anna next to Mo He staring at the fruit in the basket motionless.

"You don't trust us, you don't think so. In that case, why don't you send a few more people with us?" Mo He said, turning the teacup in his hand and staring at the old man's eyes.

"Oh haha, well, we're sure to believe you. You see, we can only save two girls, and few of the villagers have the courage to give a ransom to the bandits. So don't you guts have to do it? The old man looked embarrassed.

"Aren't the families of the other arrested little girls going?" Mo He put down the cup in his hand.

"They can't go. A few of them watched their daughters being arrested, so they went up to stop them, and then they were killed. The others are also cowardly and incompetent, and going there will not help much. The old man picked up a purple black brin in the basket and handed it to Sha Anna, who was taken by Mo He, and then took it in his hand and did not give it to Sha Anna.

Sha Anna was now staring at the black brin in Mo He's hand, no longer paying attention to the other fruits in the basket.

"Let's discuss this matter, so let's talk about it alone?" Mo He nodded as if to thank the old man for the fruit he handed over, and as if to show that he understood what the old man said.

"Okay, you can discuss it individually. But we're going to have to hurry. It's been at least three days to go to Blade Mountain, and it's been more than two days, and if you don't count today, we only have four days left. The old man made a gesture of pity.

Mo He stood up, greeted the old man, and then put the fruit in the basket. Seeing this scene, although Sha Anna wanted to eat the fruit, she still followed Mo He out of the room very sensibly.

Wren and Eighth Master also followed out of the room, and the four of them came to talk under an awning in the small square.

The old man sent the four of them to the door, until Mo He and the others came to the awning, and when they looked back, they saw him standing at the door, nodding politely to each other, and then the old man turned around and went back to the house to rest with the help of others.

Mo He and the four of them began to discuss the matter of this task.
