Chapter 55: This Time It's Human
As soon as the sky was dawning, a cry woke everyone up.
"Huzi! My tiger is gone! Have any of you seen my tiger! ”
A young woman shouted as she ran in a panic.
Everyone was woken up, and when they heard that the child was gone, they all cheered up.
Even the front of the team heard the movement, and the county lord in disguise came over with his entourage.
"I was holding him last night! It's gone when I wake up early in the morning! ”
Huzi Niang Zhang cried and patted her thighs, "My son! My poor tiger! ”
The county master listened to it, and quietly called Su Nian aside: "Little master, what kind of evil is this?" ”
I saw Su Nian pinching his fingers and calculating, and shook his head: "It's not an evil thing, it's a human being." ”
"Yo hey! There are even thieves making trouble! ”
When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately became arrogant, it's easy to do if it's a person!
Immediately said that he would personally bring the child back!
Zhang thanked his family repeatedly.
Speaking of which, this tiger is also unlucky, it is already the second time that he has been tied up, Su Nian decided that after he is rescued, he must give him a talisman.
The big guys are all concerned about the tiger, and they spontaneously stay and wait for the news of Lao Huang.
Lao Huang is the pseudonym of the county magistrate, and except for a very few insiders, most people don't know his true identity.
It's just that he is the master of a rich family who draws a knife to help when the road is uneven.
"Nian Nian, otherwise you calculate, what are the chances of Lao Huang's success this time?" Su Jing whispered.
Su Nian pinched his fingers and calculated, and then raised a finger.
"Sure?"
Then he saw the finger shake.
“… No chances? ”
"Hmm."
Su Nian was helpless, although this bandit was also a ruffian team composed of displaced people in the disaster area, but it was enough to rely on Lao Huang's people.
Sure enough, within half an hour, I saw Lao Huang rushing back with people.
Zhang asked anxiously: "What about the child?" ”
"I didn't want to come back," Lao Huang's face was a little unbearable, he had just taken out his true identity to suppress those homeless people, who knew that people didn't take it seriously at all.
even made insulting remarks, and his teeth itched when he was angry.
"I brought this back."
It's what those people want, and it's also a condition of exchanging children.
"Ten bags of rice, twenty bags of millet, thirty bags of white noodles, forty bags of yellow noodles, and a total of fifty catties of chicken and duck meat..."
Looking at the dense words on the paper, everyone talked about it.
"The lion opens his mouth!"
"Let's go up there and get so many things!"
"That's right! Isn't this a robbery? ”
The air was quiet for a few seconds, and everyone reacted, this is indeed a robbery!
"O my poor boy! Tiger! It's useless to be a mother! My mother didn't take a good look at you, so she let people take you away! Whining... It's all useless to blame the mother..."
Zhang sat on the ground crying.
Her man also squatted on the ground with a sad face and held his head.
"That, those people said, if you don't take it out, you will snatch the child again..."
The county magistrate felt ashamed when he said that he was a good parent official who had been reduced to the point of being threatened by a group of bandit leaders!
But at this juncture, he can be regarded as a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs.
He dragged Su Nian's little arm and invited her aside, and said in a suppressed voice: "Little Master, you can't see death without saving it!" Look at the current situation, you can't just watch the child disappear! ”
"The things they want are easy to do, I can use a little tricks, but I can deal with evil spirits, and I can deal with people..."
"In that case, you prepare what they want, I will bring someone to outflank it at that time, and the two of us will cooperate, and maybe we can get some supplies from their nest or something."
"Okay, then do it."
After the matter was discussed, the county magistrate naturally went to talk to the big guy again, of course, he didn't mention anything to obstruct him, just told everyone to take care of the child, and leave the rest to him.
Xuan Hong leaned next to Su Nian, watching the county master cheer everyone up passionately, he said leisurely: "Otherwise, if someone is the county master, you can see how good that little mouth is." ”
"Alright, don't look at it, get ready to give a gift."
"Well, you can rest assured that I will do something."
In the evening, when the county magistrate brought someone to pick up things, he was stunned by the carriage and cart of grain.
Oh my boy, where did this come from!
And this carriage, it all appeared out of thin air!
"We'll help escort you, Master Huang, you're in charge of outflanking, okay?"
"No problem, no problem."
The county lord looked at the things in these carriages, and suddenly felt more confident.
It's not easy to walk at night in the woods, but fortunately it's all flat ground, otherwise it would have taken a long time just to walk.
The torches flickered, and the light in the forest flickered.
Naturally, there is a burst of nonsense greetings.
"Honghong, you go."
Su Nian was blocked by the grain bag, and the people on the other side couldn't see her.
Although Xuanhong was more apprehensive in his heart, he still had the courage to step forward and shout.
"Everything has been delivered according to your request, where's the child?"
The big man with the torch raised his chin, and his men came over with a crying tiger.
"Deliver with one hand and hand over the child with the other!"
"Done."
The man holding the child opposite looked at the big man with the torch and walked over.
Xuanhong and the three brothers of the Su family drove the carriage to meet them.
The two sides stopped three paces away, and the man slashed through one of the bags with his knife, and the white rice fell with a clatter.
He just wanted to turn around and shout that it was okay, but he found that he couldn't move.
"Come on then!"
His hands were empty, and the child had been taken away by Xuanhong.
"Old donkey, how's it going?"
And the big men with torches didn't know what was happening, but they vaguely saw that both of them had stopped, and no matter how much they shouted, they didn't see the old donkey move.
"This thing!"
The big men scolded and just wanted to come over to see what the situation was, but they found that there was a knife on their necks...
In a few moments, the men sat on the ground in a sturdy mass tied with hemp rope.
"You're fooling!"
The county magistrate seemed to have heard a big joke, "Are you kidding me?" When he finished speaking, he looked up and laughed.
Su Nian: "Don't laugh too ......"
"Ahem... Vomit..."
Su Nian looked at the county master holding his throat and almost didn't spit it out, he shook his head helplessly, he had to remind him, don't laugh so loudly, be careful that there are insects flying in his mouth.
Who knows if it's still a step too late.
Listening to the county master retching on the side, Su Nian withdrew her gaze and looked at the people who were tied, she frowned slightly, each of these people was blackened, and their eyes exuded death, and it seemed that they were all dying.
