6. Treasure hunting

After killing people and setting fire to the bandits' den, Chen Ran had quietly slipped to the other side of the cottage.

I only heard the sound of gongs and drums in the cottage, and the bandits in each room all went out collectively and rushed to the fire.

All of a sudden, people came and went in the cottage, and it was very lively. The fetching of water and the shoveling of soil are in full swing.

Chen Ran set this fire, his original intention was to mobilize all the people in the cottage to observe the strength of the cottage.

Now the scene is clear, although this cottage is very large, there are not many bandits in it. is such a broken cottage, some small dart bureaus in Zhongzhou actually want to give them fifty taels of silver for tolls.

It's kind of confusing.

Otherwise, the big boss Zhang Long did have some strength, but he was caught off guard by his sudden move. Otherwise, there may be other forces behind Zhang Long.

No matter what, Chen Ran already knew the strength of these mountain bandits at this moment. He was confident that he could catch them all.

However, in order to ensure that there would be no fish that slipped through the net, Chen Ran still cautiously walked into every room to check. If you can find the hidden treasure, then you don't have to bother to torture the bandits.

After checking two places, Chen Ran gradually walked towards the back mountain, and then walked forward, and suddenly found that there was a complicated and disordered breathing sound coming from the room on the left hand side in front of him. And there was the sound of chains rubbing.

Chen Ran's heart suddenly froze, listening to this voice, there were not twenty but more than a dozen people in the room, so fortunately he didn't show up rashly, otherwise he would probably be attacked by these people.

He slowed down and quietly walked towards the big house, thinking that it was better to take these people first and then deal with the mountain bandits in front of him.

Walking to the door, Chen Ran was holding a Yanling knife, and he already had a battle plan in his heart. After entering, make sure to kill them all in one go, otherwise these people will scatter and flee, and it will not be easy to pursue.

He held his breath, then suddenly kicked the door open, and then dodged into the room, as swift as a ghost. The Yanling knife flashed with white light, like the dance of the dragon.

Just as a sword flower danced, the white light stopped abruptly in midair.

Chen Ran was stunned and looked at the scene in front of him with a stunned expression.

I saw that the dozen or so people in the room were all women. Each of the women was disheveled, most of them had bloody scars on their bodies, and they all wore shackles around their wrists, one end of which was attached to a pillar or table or chair in the middle of the room.

They were frightened by Chen Ran at this moment, and they huddled in the corner one after another.

There were no beds in the house, and all the women were barefoot, sitting or squatting on the floor. The ground was covered with a thick layer of straw, which looked black and shiny, and gave off a foul smell.

The whole room looked like a pigsty, and the women were kept here like animals.

Seeing Chen Ran breaking in with a knife, a small number of girls showed panicked expressions, and most of the women were indifferent and had dull eyes. It seems to have gotten used to having a man break in suddenly.

No one screamed, no one spoke, and the room fell into deathly silence.

Chen Ran had never seen such a scene, so he was stunned for a moment, and then said in as soft a tone as possible: "Are you all robbed up the mountain by bandits?" ”

No one answered him, and after a long time, a very young-looking woman nodded, tears welling up in her bright eyes, leaving two lines of marks on her dirty face.

"I'll get you out." Chen Ran said loudly.

The crowd remained silent, but he saw some of the women looking up at him, their dull eyes shining a little.

Chen Ran didn't speak again, the Yanling knife in his hand rose and fell, and a knife cut the chain that bound them, and the blade of the Yanling knife was completely curled.

When these women saw that the chain that imprisoned them was cut off, they all stood up one by one, looking at Chen Ran with disbelief expressions.

"I'll let you come out later, and you'll come out again."

Chen Ran said, stepping out of the room.

He walked around the back hill and finally found a large mansion that was clearly different from other wooden houses.

This is a two-storey small building, not only with carved beams and paintings, but also with cornices and arches, which is obviously specially invited by a famous artist. It seems that it should be the residence of the big boss Zhang Long.

There were also two big men standing in front of the house, standing guard loyally.

When the two men saw Chen Ran, they immediately became angry and said, "Who are you?" Dare to trespass in the backyard of the cottage? ”

Chen Ran didn't answer, ran forward, stabbed them one by one, and immediately knocked them to the ground.

When he killed Zhang Long for the first time, he was still a little physically unwell, but now that he has more and more people, he is getting more and more comfortable. Didn't even blink an eyelid.

Maybe it's because the world in this world is too chaotic, Chen Ran has seen a lot of slashing scenes in the rivers and lakes before, and he blended in very quickly.

After killing these two people, Chen Ran pushed the door and entered the house. He was quite excited at the moment, this was the place where the treasures of Qinglong Village were most likely hidden.

As soon as he entered, Chen Ran was disappointed, and the interior style of the entire house was renovated into the reception hall of the Qinglou.

There is a grandstand in the middle, and some tables and chairs are placed underneath. The two sides are divided into upstairs and downstairs, and are divided into small rooms. It seems that this is a place for the bandits in the cottage to play, and the women in the houses in front of them are their playthings.

Chen Ran responded in his heart, he didn't want to stay here longer, and just wanted to leave. A woman's voice was heard coming from the large room at the very end.

Chen Ran's heart moved slightly, stepped forward, poked open the window paper and looked inside.

I saw a beautiful woman sitting in front of the dresser, and two other women standing beside her, grooming her.

The woman seated was wearing a brocade silk dress with a jade bracelet on her wrist, looking rich and powerful. The women on both sides were shackled and ragged. The two are in stark contrast.

I saw the woman sitting and said, "The action is quick, the big boss will be back soon." He will definitely bring back the fox girls when he goes down the mountain to cut the path this time, and I will compare them all. ”

"Yes, Mrs. Zhai." The woman beside her hurriedly said.

The woman on the other side was putting earrings on the wife of the owner of the village, a little harder. The lady of the village owner immediately screamed, then turned her head and gave the woman next to her a slap.

"Die, make me hurt so much?"

The lady of the village owner slapped her, and before she could get angry, she stood up, kicked the woman over, and then kept punching and kicking the woman.

The woman lay on the ground, begging for mercy incessantly. The other woman hurriedly stepped aside, trembling all over, not daring to say a word.

When Chen Ran heard the words Mrs. of the village owner, his heart was suddenly happy. The woman probably knew where the treasure of the cottage was.

Without saying a word, he broke into the door directly, and saw that the owner of the village was still violent, so he swept her in the corner with a wave of his hand, and asked, "Robbery, where is the treasure in your mountain?" ”

The owner of the village was stunned, this person came to the bandits' den to find bandits to rob? She was suddenly furious and screamed: "Where did the hairy boy come from, he simply ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, I let me be in charge..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly let out a miserable scream, only to feel empty under her feet, and involuntarily fell to the ground. She looked down and saw that the left calf had been cut off by the hairy boy in front of her.

Blood splattered for a while, and a strong bloody breath immediately filled the room.

Seeing the wife of the owner of the village lying in a pool of blood, the two women who served her suddenly let out a scream and retreated with trembling expressions.

"Don't panic." Chen Ran immediately comforted: "You two were also taken captive from the mountain by Zhang Long, right?" I'm not going to touch you. ”

Hearing Chen Ran's words, the two women suddenly calmed down and became quiet.

Seeing this, the wife of the owner of the village hurriedly looked at Chen Ran, and said with a pleading look on her face: "The king spares his life, the slave family is also captured by the big boss, and he is also a hard-working person..."

"Little slut!" Chen Ran stepped on the face of the owner of the village and shouted, "The hard-working man beat people to death just now? Tell me where the treasure of your stockade is! ”

The lady of the owner of the village had already regarded herself as the owner of the cottage, and she didn't want to answer at all, but because of Chen Ran's prestige, she didn't dare not answer, and her face was suddenly very ugly.

Suddenly, the woman on the side spoke: "Young man, I... I know where they hid their belongings. ”

"Huh?" Chen Ran turned his head to look at the woman. This woman had just been beaten by the wife of the owner of the village, and at this time her nose was blue and her face was swollen, her expression was cringe, but her eyes were quite firm.

"Xiaohong, you dare!" The lady of the village owner glared at the woman, her eyes were sharp, as if she wanted to swallow her alive.

Although the owner of the village is now lying on the ground with one foot missing, the woman named Xiaohong still involuntarily took a step back.

"Don't be afraid."

Chen Ran smiled slightly, and the curled Yanling knife burst forward, piercing the heart of the village owner's wife at once.

The owner of the village screamed and died immediately.

Chen Ran habitually wiped the blade of the knife with the clothes of the deceased, and said, "Where is the belongings, lead me there." I'll keep you out of the cottage. ”

"We need to move her body over first." Xiaohong pointed to the corpse of the owner of the village and said softly.

Chen Ran suddenly pulled away the corpse of the owner's wife and knocked on the floor, and it was really hollow.

He reached down with his fingers, immediately clasped the gap in the plank, and then pulled upward, revealing a dark hole.

The blood oozing from the wife of the owner of the village was slowly flowing down the mouth of the cave.

Chen Ran took out a fire from his arms and burned it, put it at the entrance of the cave, and instantly the yellow light at the bottom of the cave refracted up, almost shaking Chen Ran's eyes.

I saw that there were a considerable number of gold bars in the rows below. In addition, there are silver ingots and silver tickets, all neatly stacked underneath, which looks magnificent.

Chen Ran put the wooden board back on and stood up, already overjoyed in his heart. These belongings seem to be able to buy several Changxing dart games.

If it is all replaced with medicine, I feel that I can draw a martial art again.

This trip is indeed worthwhile!

Now that the belongings have been found, it's time to kill. ’

Chen Ran instructed the two women to stay in the house and not move around, holding Yanling knives, striding out of the house and walking towards the fire in front.
