Chapter 407: Strange, Thief
"Due to the spread of the fighting, many people in our village have fled for the distance. Most of the people who remain in the village today are old and weak, women and children. ”
Wang Lingling explained, her voice was gentle, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
At this moment, a trembling figure slowly walked in.
"Xiaoling, but you came back from going up the mountain to collect mushrooms?"
"Eh, why do you have a young man by your side? This young man was born a little handsome. ”
The person who spoke was an elderly woman.
She stepped forward tremblingly and looked at Yang Dong seriously.
Yang Dong was stared at a little unnaturally by this fiery gaze, so he wanted to divert the topic and ask about the banditry.
"In Xia Yangdong, I met the enemy on the way, but fortunately I was rescued by this Wang girl."
"I heard Miss Wang say that our village has suffered from banditry, so I came here to help suppress the bandits."
Hearing this, the old woman's eyes lit up.
"Are you willing to help our village suppress bandits?"
"Yes, that's great!"
"Those damn bandits, they want to take away our food and make all of us starve to death in our village!"
At this point, the old woman was already indignant. She coughed heavily, then continued:
"Speaking of which, that bandit leader is nicknamed Sanbanaxe, and he is one of the bandits with a head and a face in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns."
"Young man, I see that you are young, but you are sure to deal with these people? They're all devils who kill people without blinking! ”
Hearing this, Yang Dong just smiled faintly and said;
"Please rest assured, I still have confidence in dealing with ordinary bandits."
"That's great!"
The old woman patted Yang Dong's shoulder excitedly and continued:
"Those bandits threatened to come to our Wangjia Village tomorrow and snatched away thousands of catties of food. In this case, tomorrow's business will be entrusted to the young man. ”
When Yang Dong heard this, the expression on his face was slightly stagnant. It's just that he hid it very well and didn't notice it at all.
Wait, something seems wrong!
It stands to reason that bandits should not rob at night, or when they are unprepared?
Why does this three-plate axe, as if two armies are at war, still have to make a war letter? Isn't this a clear opportunity for their prey to be transferred as soon as possible?
And there's ......
At this moment, in Yang Dong's heart, a lot of doubts have emerged.
But on the surface, he smiled faintly and said:
"Rest assured, I've got this in my hands."
"Okay, with your words, the old body will be relieved."
The old woman patted Yang Dong's shoulder again, then turned to look at Wang Lingling and said:
"Ling girl, this young man will be arranged by you today, you want to entertain him, understand?"
"He's the hope of our village!"
Hearing this, Wang Lingling nodded slightly and said:
"I'll arrange it."
……
After the old woman left, Yang Dong proposed to Wang Lingling that he wanted to go out for a walk alone.
In this regard, Wang Lingling naturally had no opinion, but just said that there was a house in the east of the village, and she could live at night, so she never paid attention to Yang Dong again.
Yang Dong didn't care much about this. Because he always felt that everything he had experienced since he woke up had a strange feeling.
For example, Wang Lingling, who rescued herself, said that she went up the mountain to collect mushrooms, but her hands were fair-skinned, and she couldn't tell that they were palms that had done farm work.
Those jade hands are soft, even more delicate than the concubines in the harem of the Great Zhou.
Besides, in this Wangjia Village, there is also a sense of weirdness.
According to Yang Dong's observation, the number of people in the entire village is only a few dozen, and most of them are old, weak, women and children.
In other words, if the bandits really set their sights on them, they would not even be qualified to resist, and they would all be killed.
But these people live here as if nothing happened, and they don't seem to care about the attacks of bandits.
What kind of secret is hidden in this?
Yang Dong took a walk while thinking about everything around him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was an indescribable weirdness everywhere in this Wang family village.
For example, in this mountain village, you can't even hear a rooster crowing and a dog barking!
It's not normal, it's very abnormal!
Yang Dong frowned, and after hesitating for a moment, he still decided to personally investigate Wangjia Village.
He looked around and saw that no one was staring at him, and with a slight touch of his tiptoes, he jumped onto the roof.
He wanted to see what the real state of these villagers was.
However, the next moment, his eyes were attracted by a sneaky figure.
I saw a thin figure, who was very familiar with picking open the lock of a side room, and then looked around and sneaked in.
Yang Dong was about to enter together, but he couldn't see the tea, and the thin figure walked out of the room again.
The only difference is that at this moment, he is carrying a large piece of gray rhinoceros leather on his shoulders.
What is this operation?
With Yang Dong's understanding of this world, something like rhinoceros skin is an extremely rare thing, so the price is also extremely expensive.
It is not an exaggeration to say that a relatively intact rhinoceros skin can even be sold for a hundred taels of gold.
So the question is,
In such a poor village,
Why is such a precious piece of rhinoceros skin hidden?
And looking at the actions of the figure, it is obvious that what is done today is premeditated.
In other words, this thin figure already knew that there was a piece of rhinoceros hide here!
Thinking of this, the doubts in Yang Dong's heart became more and more profound.
Because in this small Wangjia Village, there are too many unreasonable points.
This gave him the feeling of watching an online drama. I still remember the era when online dramas were just emerging, and there were countless scenes that were so shoddy and simple that they could be worn at any time.
And the Wangjia Village in front of him gave him a feeling of panic and piecing it together.
But Yang Dong didn't find the thread that proved the goof.
At this moment, the figure he was staring at was like a dexterous cat, jumping over the wall in three or two, and then quickly escaped from the range of Wangjia Village.
Seeing this, Yang Dong suddenly came to his senses. Because he vaguely felt that this figure was the key to revealing the secret of Wangjia Village!
So he hurriedly chased after him and secretly followed behind the other party.
He wanted to know, where is this figure that suddenly appeared sacred?
At the same time, in Wangjia Village.
The old woman from before, who was now prostrate on the ground respectfully, spoke seriously:
"Qi Yu Lingjun, everything is under control at the moment."
