Chapter 232: The Thief
After eating the mutton, everyone was tired, and the caravan had a special person in charge of keeping vigil, and if there was a situation, it would be good to warn those who were sleeping.
If you are unlucky, there will be a wolf attack, and the campfire in front of the tent must be lit, so that if there is a wild beast, it will not be easy to approach.
Ye Shu'er was tired, bumped all the way, and lay down early.
In order to make her sleep more comfortable, Xue Zhian also brought a pillow, which was specially made of goose down, and specially brought it to let her daughter-in-law sleep well.
Midnight.
A cold wind blew, and the leaves around the tent rustled. Maybe it was because she was in the wild, Ye Shu'er slept very lightly and was woken up all of a sudden.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up, yawned, and saw that the blanket on Xue Zhi'an's body didn't know what was going on, so she ran to herself, took off the blanket and covered him again.
There was a faint feeling of bloating pain in her lower abdomen, she had been holding it for too long, and she wanted to go to the toilet. But now it is in the wild, and there is no toilet, so I can only find a grass to solve it.
The problem is that the caravan is a bunch of big men, and it is really unacceptable for her to be watched if she goes to the toilet.
She had to use her elbow to wake up the sleeping person: "Zhi'an, hurry up and accompany me to the toilet, I can't help it."
Xue Zhi'an was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up and asked, "Did you drink too much wine?"
"I just had a drink! Hurry up, don't talk nonsense, I'm going to pee my pants again."
Xue Zhi'an covered her mouth, lest she say anything inappropriate.
The two of them cats and sneakily went to the grass on the side. Xue Zhi'an stood under the tree, helping to watch the wind.
"Shu'er, are you alright?"
The person in charge of the patrol had already come this way, so he had to step forward and talk, "Big brother, you haven't slept so late?"
The eldest brother on patrol saw that he was still wandering around here so late, and said with a straight face, "I don't sleep so late, feeding mosquitoes here?"
"Big brother, I've drunk too much, so it's convenient here."
The eldest brother looked understanding, saw that there was nothing abnormal and left, it was already the middle of the night, and the person in charge of the patrol lay down to sleep.
Ye Shu'er finally finished it conveniently, and felt much better in her stomach.
"Zhi'an, let's go back!"
She always felt eerie, this ghost place made people feel creepy, especially when passing by during the day, passing by a cemetery, it looked like they were all new tombs, and there were fresh tributes in front of the tombstones, and at a glance she knew that someone had come to sweep the tomb, but there was no figure around here, it was really strange.
Halfway through the road, she heard the sound of Suosuo, Ye Shu'er stopped and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
"Zhi'an, did you hear the voice?" She lowered her voice for fear of disturbing her target.
In this barren mountain and wilderness, if you really encounter wolves, what will you do?
Xue Zhi'an naturally heard it, and he asked Ye Shu'er to stand aside first, not to go over, and wait for him to go over after he went to investigate to confirm that there was no danger.
Ye Shu'er grabbed his wrist and didn't let him go.
Leave her here alone, what if there's something behind her?
She was scared in her heart, and her tone was soft, with a bit of pleading: "No, absolutely not. I'm afraid of the dark, Zhi'an, you lead me away."
Xue Zhi'an's heart was almost melted by her soft and glutinous tone, Ye Shu'er rarely showed weakness, and she was determined to show her on weekdays, and rarely showed such a scared look.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
Ye Shu'er was not comforted, her mind was full of wolves, and the scene of fierce beasts rushing towards them.
The two crept to the camp and crouched under a tree to watch the situation.
The people of the caravan fell asleep and died, and there was no reaction at all. It's so unusual, the firewood burning on the ground makes a "crackling" sound of sparks.
A dark shadow jumped down from Ye Shu'er and Xue Zhi'an's carriage, and it was Ye Shu'er's burden in his hand
There is also a wooden box, which contains gold and silver.
"That's my money!" Ye Shu'er exclaimed, almost breaking her voice.
Fortunately, the thief who stole the things didn't find out, and after searching their carriage, he got into another carriage, which was Du Yuanbao's carriage.
"The ingots are not in the carriage!" Ye Shuer remembered that Du Yuanbao said that he would stay in the carriage.
"Oh no!"
If Du Yuanbao didn't wake up, it would be fine, but if he woke up and took a look at the thief, wouldn't he be killed?
Ye Shu'er forcibly forced herself to calm down, the thief seemed to be stealing money, and had no intention of killing people and goods, I am afraid that he could see that their caravan had a trained family.
"Where's that guard of the Du family?"
Xue Zhi'an didn't find the guards either, presumably because he went out on patrol and didn't come back, which is not a good thing.
They didn't have anything to fight right now, and the people of the caravan lying on the ground seemed to have been hit.
Ye Shuer scolded secretly: Despicable!
Although she can make an antidote, there are no materials at the moment, the herbs are all in the space, if it suddenly disappears, isn't it a supernatural event?
"Daughter-in-law, don't act rashly first, I'll lure him away."
Ye Shu'er disagreed, this was too risky, maybe there should be another way.
I knew that I should make a bow and crossbow and tie it to my body, so that I wouldn't be so passive when I encountered danger.
Xue Zhi'an pulled out a knife from the waist of the unconscious man on the ground, he had been practicing fist and foot kung fu with Su Tong in the past few months, just to strengthen his body, he had only learned a few tricks roughly, and he was not proficient.
Ye Shu'er saw Xue Zhi'an walking towards Du Yuanbao's carriage with a knife, and her heart was about to rise to her throat.
It doesn't matter so much, go directly into the space to find the corresponding herbs, mash them and inject an appropriate amount of spiritual spring water, these herbs are refreshing and detoxifying, she can only do this now.
He took out the handkerchief he had brought with him, poured the medicinal juice on the handkerchief, and then came out of the space.
Fortunately, her location is relatively hidden, and now there is no one around, but fortunately, there is only one thief, and I really don't know what to do if there are more.
Xue Zhi'an kicked open the door of the carriage, and then put a knife against the thief's neck, he was searching for money, Du Yuanbao on the side was tied with his hands, and he was gagged by a handkerchief, trembling with fright.
"Uh-huh-"
The masked man didn't expect that there would be a fish that slipped through the net, he turned his back to Xue Zhi'an, and couldn't see who was pointing the knife at his neck, only that the people of the caravan woke up.
"If you dare to move again, I'll kill you." Xue Zhi'an looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a dead object.
Du Yuanbao trembled, he was so frightened that he was about to go out of his body, and now looking at Xue Zhi'an, he felt like a god had descended.
"Come out, put down what you have in your hand, and I'll spare your dog's life!"
The thief shrunk down from the carriage, but his bloodshot eyes stared at Du Yuanbao on the carriage. jj.br>
If he hadn't been masked, he would have been able to see his smug smile.
