Chapter 363 Roast Lamb

The two men worked very hard and in just a quarter of an hour they dug nearly half an acre of the mountain, revealing more than a dozen gold bricks and seven or eight wooden boxes.

Although these boxes are not made of precious golden nanmu, they are made of high-quality huanghuali wood. A layer of tung oil is also applied on the outside of the boxes, so they have not rotted even though they are very old.

The two of them opened the boxes one by one and found that they were filled with valuable items.

It can be confirmed that this is undoubtedly a treasure from the previous dynasty.

Shen Jia was so happy that his eyes and eyebrows were filled with smiles.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened. Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen only took the imperial seal down the mountain, while the gold bricks and other items in the boxes were left on the top of the mountain.

From a distance, they saw Shen Hao and Ling Yunsu setting up a fire and roasting a whole lamb more than 200 meters away from the bandits. The charcoal fire released the delicious flavor of the lamb, and the unique aroma of the roasted lamb floated in the air. They couldn't help but quicken their pace.

"Sister, Brother Xiao, you're back just in time. How about trying the roasted lamb that Brother Ling and I made?"

"Okay!" Shen Jia replied with a smile.

Shen Hao picked up a dagger and cut the mutton for them, and Ling Yunsu handed him a clean wooden board.

Xiao Yichen took the water bag and poured water for Shen Jia to wash his hands. He waited until Shen Jia finished washing his hands before washing his own.

Shen Hao cut a few pieces of golden roasted lamb and handed them to Shen Jia, "Sister, try the cooking skills of me and Brother Ling."

Shen Jia took the fragrant roasted lamb, picked up a piece with a wooden skewer and put it into his mouth. The fat and the crispy and tender meat burst in his mouth, mixed with the aroma of cumin and chili. The feeling was simply wonderful.

"It has a crispy texture, the meat is tender and juicy, and it's delicious. Brother Ling and Brother's cooking skills are really good." Shen Jia said vaguely.

Shen Hao received Shen Jia's praise, and the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears, and his movements of cutting the mutton became much faster.

Ling Yunsu paused as he was turning the mutton. The corners of his lips raised slightly, and twinkling lights appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Yichen didn't act pretentiously. He took out a dagger from his leggings and joined in cutting the mutton.

The moonlight shines on the earth through the gaps in the snow clouds. The trees covered with crystal icicles sway gently in the breeze, like delicate notes playing a symphony of early spring, quiet and mysterious.

The four of them ate while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the snowy night, which made life difficult for the bandits in the Black Wind Village not far away.

They lay on the snow, frozen to the point of unconsciousness, looking like dead bodies, save for their eyes which were still moving.

Not far away, the roasted lamb was sizzling, emitting an enticing aroma. Listening to others feasting and chatting about life, they felt angry, hateful, afraid and helpless.

After Shen Jia and his companions had eaten and drunk their fill, they slowly walked over.

Shen Hao took the lead and unblocked their acupoints.

Xiao Yichen looked down at the leader of the Black Wind Village, and then glanced at the others. His cold voice sounded particularly cold in the quiet snowy night: "Where did Xiao Hongbin get the deerskin map? When did you start digging the trail from Tacheng to Mocheng? Who were involved? Where is the trail? How do you transport the gold you dug? Think it over before answering my questions."

The leader of the Black Wind Village wanted to stand up, but because he had been lying in the snow for too long, his hands and feet were as stiff as stones and he couldn't move. At this moment, he hated Shen Jia and the other three in his heart. He closed his eyes and said stubbornly: "We know nothing." The other people in the Black Wind Village refused to listen and shouted: "Boss, do you want to kill us?"

"Shut up! I don't need you to teach me how to do things! Don't think that if you tell them, they will let us go, idiot!"

He knew very well that the Crown Prince and the Princess Protector of the Country would never let these evil bandits go. They would die anyway, so they might as well die meaningfully. At least the master would know that they did not betray him and would take good care of their families.

Shen Jia saw through his thoughts at a glance and said coldly, "You don't think that as long as you don't tell us, we won't know where the trail is, right? Or do you think that if you don't tell us, it won't be considered betrayal to Xiao Hongbin, and even if you die, Xiao Hongbin will take good care of your family?

Tacheng has been recaptured by us, and it will be easy for us to find your family. Xiao Hongbin is a stray dog ​​who has difficulty taking care of himself, how can you be so confident that he will put himself in trouble for your family? How stupid!"

Xiao Yichen said quietly, "Even if you don't tell us, we can still find the trail. It's just a matter of time. However, I will let you suffer and die, and your family will eventually pay the price for your stupidity."

Shen Hao crossed his arms and said calmly, "Is it an easy death or a tortured death? Is it to help the tyrant and work hard for the criminals who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, or to redeem the sins with righteousness? Even a fool knows how to choose."

The leader of the Black Wind Village felt torn between guilt and resentment. He knew that what they said was true and it would not be difficult for them to find his family with their means. If he continued to resist to the end, his family would die with him.

It doesn't matter if he dies, but the young children at home are innocent!
He sighed deeply, and felt his head getting even more dizzy. In order to prevent himself from fainting and causing something irreversible, he bit his tongue hard to wake himself up and asked in a hoarse voice, "I'm telling you, can you let our family go?"

Shen Jia raised his eyebrows and said, "See! This is human nature. As long as you control his lifeline, there is nothing you can't accomplish."

Xiao Yichen glanced at the people from the Black Wind Village who were looking at him eagerly, "As long as they haven't done anything wrong, I can spare their lives."

As for how to deal with them, I haven't figured it out yet.

"Okay! I said. The deerskin map was given to Prime Minister Jiang by the former leader of the martial arts world. In addition to the more than one hundred people from the Black Wind Village, Prime Minister Jiang also bought hundreds of young men to dig a trail with us. The gold we dug out will be transported to Mocheng from the trail by other people from the Black Wind Village." After the leader of the Black Wind Village finished speaking, his face was ashen, and the whole person seemed to be exhausted, losing all his energy.

Although Xiao Yichen was very dissatisfied with his answer, he let him go for now because he looked like he was about to die. "Take us along that path tomorrow."

"Yes," the leader of Black Wind Village said in a weak voice.

Shen Jia thought to himself that this man couldn't die before he led them to the trail, so he quickly said to Shen Hao, "Brother, build two fires for them to warm themselves."

"Yes!"

There was enough dry firewood prepared for roasting lamb today, and Shen Hao quickly built two fires.

A quarter of an hour later, the people from Black Wind Village slowly sat up and moved their stiff hands and feet slowly.

Shen Jia glanced at them calmly and said, "Whoever is confident that they can escape our clutches can do whatever they want!"

Several bandits who wanted to run away quietly retracted their feet.

They don't have the confidence to escape, so they should just stay here!
Their stomachs started to growl at this moment.

"Can we ask the two men to go back to the wooden house and make some food?" The leader of the Black Wind Village asked Xiao Yichen weakly.

"Can"
