Chapter 28: Profiting from Demons (1)

Seeing that the two girls were about to be thrown into the river, Li Chunfeng and his two partners used their internal strength to break free of the rope, performed light skills, flew to the boat, and knocked the two big men into the water.

No one in the town had ever learned martial arts, let alone anyone who could fly in the air, so they all thought that the three of them were gods descending from the earth, and they knelt down one after another.

The old man saw that his good deeds were disturbed, and he stomped his feet angrily, so he had an idea and shouted to everyone: "They are not immortals who can fly, it just proves that they are demons and monsters, you don't hurry up and catch them, in case the river god is angry, your whole town will suffer." ”

Hearing the old way's lies, the people were confused again, so they stood up and went home one after another to pick up the guys and go to the other side of the river to search for Li Chunfeng and a few people.

This town is so big, how to hide with two girls has become a trouble, Lao Niu patted his head, suddenly thought of something, and immediately said to his partner next to him: "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, we might as well go back to that dilapidated house, they must not think of it." ”

The fat man patted Lao Niu's head and praised: "It's okay, Lao Niu, I'm silly and stupid on weekdays, I didn't expect to come up with such a good idea at a critical moment." ”

Lao Niu smiled and said, "Where is it, you are too smart, so you didn't expect such a simple method." ”

When the two girls saw that the three of them were so cute, they must not be bad people, so they let down their guard against them.

After going around and around for a long time, and making sure that no one was coming, the group of five returned to the dilapidated house with confidence.

As soon as they arrived at the dilapidated house, the two girls immediately knelt down, and the girl on the left said, "Thank you to the gods for saving our lives, otherwise we would have drowned in the river." ”

The three of them immediately helped the two girls up, and Li Chunfeng hurriedly explained: "The two girls don't have to make this big gift, we just strayed into this place, and when the road was uneven, we just drew a knife to help." ”

Lao Niu also opened his mouth to explain: "Two girls, we are not immortals, we just know some kung fu. ”

The two girls obviously didn't know the meaning of the word "kung fu", and looked at the three of them with big watery eyes.

Seeing the cute appearance of the two girls, the fat man instantly overflowed, pushed the two partners aside, cleared his voice and said: "That martial arts is the same as the kung fu you see in martial arts novels." ”

The two girls saw the fat man's serious appearance and secretly laughed on the side.

Seeing that the fat man was so improper, Li Chunfeng was a little angry, slapped him in the head, and said, "Don't be poor here, it's better to get down to business." ”

On weekdays, don't look at the fat man being so unkind to Lao Niu, he said that he would do it, but he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Xiao Chunzi, and obediently retreated to the side.

Li Chunfeng asked, "Who are you, and why did you throw them into the river as a sacrifice?" ”

As soon as they mentioned this, the two girls began to cry again, and said: "We were originally the daughters of an ordinary family in the town, and a few days ago there was a plague in the town, and our brother also got this strange disease, but our parents really couldn't come up with the ten taels of silver, so they sold us to the squire in charge, and now there are dozens of people locked up in the squire's house." ”

After listening to what the girl said, Li Chunfeng felt that the squire was not a good person, and he must have nothing to do with these things, and these girls must also be rescued.

It was getting dark, but they didn't dare to raise a fire to keep warm, lest they be discovered.

Li Chunfeng stood up and said to a few people around him: "Fatty, old cow, you two take good care of these two girls, I'll go out first." ”

The fat man immediately stopped him and said, "It's so late, why are you going?" ”

"I always felt something was wrong, so I went into the river to see what was going on." After Li Chunfeng finished speaking, he left the courtyard and went to the river.

When he came to the river, he found that the other side of the river was brightly lit, and many people were wandering around with torches, as if they were looking for a few more of them.

After sneering, Li Chunfeng slowly went down to the river, and after taking a sharp breath, he slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

Although the river is not wide, it is seven or eight zhang deep, and the river water is cold and biting, Li Chunfeng can only grit his teeth and insist.

Under the moonlight, Li Chunfeng could still see the general situation under the water, and he found that there were no human corpses at the bottom of the river, but many large stones tied with ropes, similar to the two girls' feet.

It stands to reason that there will be corpses left under the water after death, but now there are no stones and hairs left, where did they go, could it be that they were taken away by some bullshit river god? Something isn't right! But the river was so cold that he couldn't hold it anymore, so he had to come back tomorrow at dawn.

Quietly returning to the dilapidated house, Li Chunfeng found that the two girls and the fat man had fallen asleep, leaving Lao Niu alone to guard by the side.

Hiding from the two girls and changing into clean clothes, he sat with Lao Niu until dawn.

As soon as the morning dawned, Li Chunfeng was ready to secretly go to the river, but at this time, the town was under martial law and was searching my house from house to house, so he immediately returned to the dilapidated house and informed his partner of the situation outside.

Fortunately, Lao Niu found a cellar at the back of the house, and the few of them immediately got into it, avoiding the search of the people of the town.

Seeing that his partner had a safe hiding place, Li Chunfeng went out again, with his skills, it was easy to avoid the search, but fortunately, there was no one to guard the river, and while there was no one on both sides, Li Chunfeng plunged into the river.

The situation at the bottom of the river is similar to what I saw last night, there are no corpses, only many big stones, the only difference is that there are many traces of friction in the silt at the bottom of the river, and there are many people's hands and footprints, then Li Chunfeng understands that these girls were not drowned, but dragged away by people at the bottom of the river.

Following the traces at the bottom of the river, Li Chunfeng actually swam to the lower reaches of the river, but he always had a question in his heart, these girls are not like people who practice martial arts, so they can't last long in the water, once they are exposed, won't things be revealed? What methods did these people use to drag these girls so far?

When he went ashore, he saw the dense bamboo forest on the shore, and instantly understood, when those people dragged those girls in the water for a distance, they were already a hundred steps away from the people on the shore, even if they swam to a position three feet from the water, those people could not perceive, so they took this opportunity to put the hollowed out thin bamboo out of the water, and put the other end into the mouths of the group of girls, so that they could breathe underwater, and when they completely left the sight of the people, they took the girls to the surface and left here.

The traces at the bottom of the river have completely disappeared, Li Chunfeng has surfaced, and he can no longer see the riverbank when he came, according to what he expected just now, the place where the group of girls were hidden must not be far from here.

Swimming along the river for a while, there are many footprints on the river bank on the right, Li Chunfeng followed these footprints and actually came to a river god shrine, there are several big men guarding outside, based on their breath, most of them are the strength of the three mirrors in one, although Li Chunfeng can easily solve these three people, but there must be more powerful enemies inside.

Because Lao Dao told those people before, saying that the river god was not very happy during this time, and did not accept the worship of the people for the time being, and waited until all the virgins were sacrificed, the river god was happy, and they were allowed to come forward to worship, so no one dared to come during this time, and yesterday when those people came here to search for Li Chunfeng and a few people, the big man who guarded the door immediately hid in the ancestral temple, and the people did not dare to enter the ancestral temple, so naturally they did not find that it was boring.

And in order to reassure the people, Lao Dao said that the river god appeared to him, Li Chunfeng and the others did not hide inside, hurry up and leave quickly, otherwise the river god will be angry, and the people will feel a lot more relieved when they hear it, so they quickly leave this place and go to search elsewhere.

Taking advantage of the fact that the two of them were not paying attention, Li Chunfeng sneaked into the river god shrine and found that there were really many people who practiced martial arts, they were all big shoulders and round waists, burly figures, and set up a few tables in the courtyard, these people sat at the table and ate meat and drank wine in large bowls.

The martial arts realm of these people is not very high, and like outsiders, most of them are miscellaneous fish with three mirrors, so they are not to be feared, but in order not to be discovered, Li Chunfeng still sealed his breath.

When it got dark, while the group of big men were drunk and fell on the table one by one, Li Chunfeng took the opportunity to sneak into the ancestral temple and found the dozens of disappeared girls in the side room.

The girls were tied hand and foot in the fight, and their mouths were strangled with a strip of cloth, and they couldn't make a sound.

In order to find out what these people were going to do to arrest these girls, he didn't leave them in a hurry, but came to the back of the main house of the ancestral temple, and stabbed the window paper with his hands, and he saw four familiar figures, which were the three Hou brothers who were abolished by Li Chunfeng in the mountains during the first assessment in Qingyou Valley, and the tall and thin man whose lower body was kicked out.

Li Chunfeng was a little curious, aren't they from two families, why did they hook up together? After the conversation of the four people, Li Chunfeng understood the general situation.

It turned out that their family was doing shady business, and they had known each other for a long time, and they went out some time ago, and accidentally discovered this town, and found that the people here were not only rich, but also believed in ghosts and gods, so they were ready to take advantage of this to do a big deal.

They secretly colluded with the local stewards and squires, secretly killed many people in the town, and disguised the corpses of these people as infected with the plague and died, and the elder who saw it was the elder of their family pretended to preach some ghosts and gods here to collect money, and those girls were as Li Chunfeng expected, they were all caught by those methods, the purpose was to sell them in the Qinglou in exchange for a lot of money.
