Chapter 543: Three Paths Down the Mountain

Shen Changan stood on the edge of the cliff and pulled the rope hard.

The rope is very thick, and the weight capacity should be okay.

He tentatively climbed a few steps down, and there was no problem.

Jiang Li stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the abyss below, only feeling dizzy.

This ladder is indeed very steep, and if it were her, her legs were already shaking before she could stand up, let alone climb down for thousands of meters.

After Shen Changan came up, he took Jiang Li's hand, and at the same time pulled the man's arm, pulling him back.

"Chang'an, that ladder looks quite scary, why don't you go down the mountain normally? Don't save that time. ”

Jiang Li's voice was trembling when he spoke, and he was even trembling a little when he walked.

Jiang Li was a little afraid of heights, let alone such a high place, his head was dizzy when he looked at it.

Shen Changan realized her fear, shook his head with a smile and said.

"It's okay, in order to keep the people in the village alive, I can only be sacrificed this time."

"But if the ladder doesn't reach the bottom, or if there's a break in the middle, aren't you in danger?"

"What should I do if something really happens to me? What about our marriage? And the two lovely children in the family, what about them? ”

Jiang Li pinched Shen Changan's arm tightly, she didn't want him to take risks at all.

As long as this man can live well, what if the people in the village do evil things?

Regardless of whether they can be punished by the law or not, Jiang Li feels that it has nothing to do with her.

Only Shen Changan's life safety is what she values most.

"When I went down just now, I saw a lot of footprints on the ladder, which shows that this is something they often use."

"Our attack on the village came so suddenly that they didn't have time to prepare."

"For these reasons, we don't have to be afraid at all, if you're still worried about me, why don't you go and threaten someone else?"

Shen Changan whispered in Jiang Li's ear.

He kept breathing hot air in her ear, and Jiang Li lowered his head and his cheeks were red.

"Okay, I'll go ask a few people now."

Jiang Li ran to the village first, she ran into someone else's house, and woke up the man who was still asleep.

"Get up, if you have something to ask you, answer honestly if you want to live, and lie if you want to die!"

As soon as Jiang Li opened her mouth, it was a threat, and the man looked at her with disdain.

Jiang Li glared at him fiercely, and without saying a word, he gave two big pockets first, and he beat people to the point of starry.

"Can you say that now? Or do you want to continue to be beaten? ”

Jiang Li raised his arm and slapped it high, looking fierce as if he was going to continue to do it.

The man spat at her disdainfully, still not paying attention to her at all.

Jiang Li held his breath in his heart, and immediately became angry.

She sneered and kept slapping him until she had beaten the person into a pig's head, and her palm was also beaten red and swollen, and then she asked again.

"Do you dare to sneer? Do you dare to spit on me? Can my question be answered? ”

The man was obviously much more honest, and his gaze became evasive when he looked at her.

Jiang Li pulled out the dagger at his waist and put it on his neck quickly and ruthlessly.

"One last question, do you want to die or answer my question honestly?"

The man was completely stunned and stammered, "You, what questions do you want to ask?" Can't you just ask before you hit someone? ”

"Humph! It's not your turn to talk more than what I decide! Is there a shortcut down the mountain in the village? ”

The man couldn't touch her purpose, and he didn't dare to keep his mouth shut and not speak, because he would be beaten in this way, so he could only lie.

He was just about to speak, Jiang Li said coldly.

"You're not the only one I'm going to ask, if you dare to lie, the consequences will be serious!"

Under Jiang Li's coercion and temptation, the man said the ladder in the back mountain.

The situation he said was almost the same as the other person, and Jiang Li spared him for the time being.

She then went to ask the two old men, and the situation was similar.

When she went to ask the women of the village, they immediately cried and begged her for mercy, and some even wanted to kneel down and beg her.

Although they were also from the village, they were the targets of the village men to prevent escape, so they would not tell them such important news at all.

Jiang Li finally hit the children, she did not threaten the children, but pretended to be here to save them, removed the strips of cloth from their mouths, brought them colorful fruit candy, and told them funny stories, but did not untie the ropes on their hands and feet.

Jiang Li told them that as long as they answered her questions, they could get candy and help them loosen their bonds.

The children were innocent, especially the sweet candy in their mouths, although they were still tied hand and foot, but they quickly took off their guard.

"Okay, let's start asking questions now, and those who can answer will be rewarded with one candy, and those who answer too well will be rewarded with two candies."

Jiang Li first told them the rules of the game, and then began to throw questions.

"How many men are there in Lijia Village? How many women are there? ”

The younger children have no idea at all, and the older children scramble to answer.

The children answered the questions, and Jiang Li gave a candy very trustworthy.

Someone added the question in more detail, and Jiang Li also rewarded a candy.

"Then my sister will ask you again, how many cows and sheep are raised in the village?"

Jiang Li asked inconsequential questions at the beginning, and the children answered them one by one for the sake of the candy.

Many children were given candy, and some children did not answer a single question because they were slow to answer.

They can only watch others answer, watch others eat candy.

Jiang Li wanted this effect, so she began to increase the difficulty of the problem.

In order to get candy, the children now don't care about the teachings of the village, and answer honestly one by one.

There are some things in the village that are kept secret, and the adults don't allow the children to talk about them.

The children's mouths used to be tight, but now they are slowly letting their guard down because of candy and rushing to answer.

Jiang Li saw that the situation was almost over, and in order not to delay time, he directly inserted the topic.

"How many roads down the mountain are there in the village?"

"2 of a kind! There is one at the entrance of the village, and another one on the east side of the village! ”

Immediately, a child couldn't wait to say, Jiang Li was about to reward him with candy, when a child who had never eaten candy retorted.

"You're wrong! There are three roads in the village! In addition to the two you mentioned, there is a hidden road! ”

"Impossible! I only knew that there were two roads in the circle when I grew up, but you can tell me where there are three roads? ”
