Obviously, only two mountain bandits came to deliver the letter and blackmail in the morning, and they really didn't take the villagers seriously.

Because the footprints were so big and left on the snow, there was no cover.

Li Laosi and the others were very happy to see it, they chased after them at this time, it was definitely unexpected by the mountain bandits, and the certainty of successfully rescuing the child was much greater.

Everyone chased after each other, all the way over the mountain, and they had to guard against the bandits' slow footsteps, and the two parties bumped together.

Walking and stopping like this, there is a lot of snow in the mountains, and it is a little difficult to walk.

By the time everyone saw the lights in the distance, it was already dark.

Li Laosi discussed with Liu Darttou and others, and Liu Darthead led people to hide. Li Laosi and Sister-in-law Qiong went in to find out the situation, and it was best to find out where the child was hiding.

Everyone endured the fanatical heartbeat, took out the cloth sheets and quilts they brought, and lay on the spot, completely blending with the snow.

Not to mention in the night, even in the day, you have to get closer to see clearly.

Sister-in-law Qiong and Li Laosi groped near the lights one after the other, but when they were about to leave the forest, the two were shocked half to death.

It turned out that there were some black things hanging from the trees, which they had thought were scraped branches or something.

But when I got closer, I realized that it was... A few people! The one who was stripped naked and hung on a tree and froze to death!

"Grass!" Li Laosi scolded in a low voice, and clenched the long knife in his hand more and more, these mountain bandits are too vicious, and I am afraid that I will not be able to hide from this desperate attempt today.

Sister-in-law Qiong is a woman in the end, although she knows some kung fu, but she is also so frightened that her face is pale.

The two of them glanced at each other, and both saw the solemnity and caution in each other's eyes, and then continued to touch forward.

It is said to be a cottage, but in fact, the place where the mountain bandits settled is a small courtyard.

I don't know if it was a mountain dweller or a rich family's other courtyard or something like that.

The small courtyard is boxy, with three main rooms and three west wing rooms, and there is also a fire in the ear room, which seems to be a place for cooking.

At the gate of the courtyard, a bonfire was lit, and two mountain bandits were talking over the fire, and no one was seen on the surrounding courtyard walls to watch the night.

Sister-in-law Joan gestured and quietly climbed over the wall to enter.

Li Laosi quietly approached the gate, and the two mountain bandits were talking about meat, and one of them was so cold that he couldn't stand it, so he greeted.

"I'll go into the house to see the excitement, you hold on for a while, and I'll come out to replace you."

The rest of him was a little unhappy, "No, the boss should be unhappy when he comes out." Maybe those mud legs are here! ”

"Find a fart, today is a letter from Lao Tzu, you don't know that those mud-legged people lost their children, crying like a dead mother, in a mess. Give them 10,000 guts and don't dare to run and make trouble, let's just wait for tomorrow to get the silver!" Besides, the boss is happy, you can't get off the kang for half a night, what are you afraid of! ”

The mountain bandits who spoke didn't care, turned their heads and went in, causing the rest of the mountain bandits to stare dryly, but they didn't stop them in the end, and got up and untied their trouser belts to find a leeward place to pee.

As a result, the urine did not spill out, his mouth was covered first, and a cold wood knife was set up around his neck.

"Shut up, dare to speak out, and wipe your neck!"

The mountain bandit was about to struggle subconsciously, but as soon as Li Laosi's knee hit the crook of his hind legs, he knelt on the stone, shivering in pain.

"If I ask you to answer, if you dare to lie and raise your voice, I will send you to see Lord Yama immediately!" Li Laosi pressed the firewood knife, and the mountain bandit's neck was cut, and he was bleeding.

The mountain bandits shivered more and more, nodding their heads again and again.

"How many of you are there? Where is the kidnapped child hiding yesterday? ”

"Three... Thirty, we have thirty. Yesterday that kid... Stuffed into the cellar! ”

The mountain bandit said that he was stumbling, for fear that Li Laosi would not believe it, and he also pointed to the wall next to him, "The cellar is in the corner of the courtyard, and a big stone is pressed at the mouth of the cellar." ”

Li Laosi asked again, "Where are you from?" And are there any accomplices? ”

"No..." the mountain bandit hesitated a little, and Li Laosi gave him another bleed.

He hurriedly recruited, "In the summer, there was a big drought in the south, and we didn't have a good job to come here to get some silver, and later said that the barbarians were coming, and the emperor and the rich and noble families were running south, so we blocked the official road to grab fat sheep..."

"I just ask if you have any accomplices?"

"No, no! Our family is all in the south, and we don't know anyone here! ”

Li Laosi breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was hesitating whether to kill this mountain bandit, Sister-in-law Qiong had already jumped out of the wall.

She lowered her voice and said, "The poison has already gone in, but only those who gamble money in the west wing can get hit, and there are still seven or eight in the main room, so I really can't take care of it, let's be careful in a while." ”

Li Laosi didn't wait for an answer, and the mountain bandit suddenly struggled to the side, pulling his neck and about to shout.

As soon as he cut it, the mountain bandit was wiped on his neck, and he snorted in his throat and fell down softly.

Li Laosi endured the nausea of being soaked in hot blood on his shoulders, and pulled him and threw him a few steps away.

Only then did she signal Sister-in-law Qiong to stay, and then turned around and went back to the hiding place of everyone.

"Sister-in-law Joan has been drugged, and I scratched my tongue and asked for the news. There were a total of 30 of these bandits, most of whom gambled in the west wing, and half in the main room. The child was in the cellar on the right side of the courtyard, and a large stone was pressed at the mouth of the cellar.

After going in for a while, I'll go and save the children first, you remember not to leave your hands, they will all be killed, they don't have accomplices outside. Let's cut the grass and eradicate the roots! ”

Everyone listened attentively, and nodded heavily.

Li Laosi was afraid that they would fight for a while, but he was still soft, so he pointed to a tree by the forest and said.

"The people who froze to death by the mountain bandits there were all robbed back from the official road! These mountain bandits are so vicious, today they either die or we die. Otherwise, let one go, and they'll all find someone to take revenge! ”

Everyone turned pale and responded with a suppressed voice, "Don't worry, we will definitely cut to death." ”

Estimating that the time was almost up, Li Laosi and Liu Darttou led everyone to touch it.

Zhang Shen's treatment is first-class, and the poison is also first-class and effective.

Sister-in-law Qiong heard that there was no movement in the west wing, and was anxious, and when she saw everyone coming, she went to the courtyard first.

Li Laosi then ran directly to the corner.

Sure enough, a big stone was pressed in the corner of the wall, and I was afraid that the three of them could only move it away together, but it was easy for him, and it was done with a single force with both arms.

Lifting the plank, he didn't care about being afraid, and jumped straight down.

The cellar was pitch black, there was no sound, his heart tightened, knocked on the fire fold to light a pine tree, barely illuminated the surroundings, he only glanced at it, and couldn't help but gasp.

However, in the cellar eight or nine steps square, there were actually five children stuffed, and the dog was left in the corner.

He strode forward and picked up the dog's leftovers. The dog was boiling hot, and I don't know who burned it.

He ran to the rest of the children, but his face changed...

In the courtyard, Liu Darttou heard that there was no movement in the west wing, so he gently pushed the door open.

There were three or four oil lamps lit in the room, and there was a crackling stove, but it was not difficult to see clearly.

There was a square table in the middle of the room, and there were four sitting at the table, seven or eight lying on the ground, and seven or eight on the kang, all of which were bleeding from their mouths and noses, and they could not die again.

Someone may have noticed something was wrong when he was poisoned, and wanted to open the door, with his hands still on the threshold...

Liu Darttou breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to go in to mend the knife, when he heard the door of the main house be pushed open.
