Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 398 Steel Knife
"To seek someone's life, of course the moon is dark and the wind is high..." I opened my mouth as I spoke, and immediately understood what Lao Yan meant.

This is Fengshou Village, we are outsiders, they don't have to wait until night if they want to deal with us.Even if they are discussing outside our gate, we may not be able to hear it, and we may not be able to understand it!
The local dialect here in Guangxi is actually very difficult to understand, but they use Mandarin. Although it is not standard, it does not prevent me from understanding the meaning.

My pupils shrank involuntarily, this is not a plot to kill someone, this has clearly started to hurt...

I looked at Lao Yan, his face was also very bad, but he still held on, and he pulled me back quietly, but after only two steps, I heard footsteps coming from behind...

I hurriedly looked at Lao Yan, he gestured to me not to panic, then pulled me to speed up, shuttling between the rooms silently.

After the panic at the beginning, I also settled down, and I grabbed Lao Yan to prevent him from going back to the house quickly.

Since these people told us on purpose, they must have been waiting for us where we live, and now the past is undoubtedly a trap for themselves!
"There is no other way, not going back is dangerous everywhere in this village." Lao Yan said in a low voice.

I shook my head, said no, and ran quickly with Lao Yan.

Lao Yan was puzzled at first, but then he probably understood what I meant and ran even harder.

I took Lao Yan all the way to avoid those footsteps and headed straight for the woods outside.

Yes, those people let us hear that the plan was nothing more than to drive us to the temporary house, and then they would catch us on the spot, and then they would have an excuse to drive us all out of the village.

The coincidence of what those people said meant that they had arranged for people to follow us from the very beginning. The people who followed us should have notified us in advance when we arrived, and they should not be with us at this time.

So, our only way out is outside the village!
Sure enough, these people didn't expect us to run outside the village, and we left the village very smoothly.

All the way to the forest, I took a break and took a breath: "It is said that troublemakers come out of poor mountains and bad waters. I have seen it today. First, they wanted our lives without asking indiscriminately, and then they planned to drive us away. What is it? A small fishing village?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Lao Yan said in a heavy tone.

I also lost my relaxed expression. Although I made the decision to escape from the village in a short period of time, all of this was still a bit too weird.

Lao Yan raised his eyes to look at the village not far away, and frowned tightly: "No village, no matter how exclusive it is, would dare to treat the people sent from above like this, Chang'an, they must not be simple!"

I leaned against a tree, my mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to arrange this situation if I was standing as a fisherman in Fengshou Village, the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and then I stood up straight.

"What's the matter?" Lao Yan saw that something was wrong with me, and hurriedly asked.

I took a breath: "I hope I was wrong, they probably couldn't think so far..."

"Don't be fooled!" Lao Yan shouted in a low voice.

I gave a wry smile, actually I didn't want to be a secret, it was really unimaginable what I thought.

"Lao Yan, I'm afraid we underestimated them. Their target was not us from the beginning, or no matter who came out, their target was the few people who stayed in the room." I said with a dark face.

Just now I thought of a strange joint - if they want to catch us, they can obviously do it when Lao Yan and I are wandering around the village. Why do we have to hear those few words?
So they did it on purpose. Whether we went back to the temporary house or simply ran out, it didn't affect them much. After Lao Yan and I left the house, their plan had already been carried out.

After thinking about it for a while, Lao Yan understood the joints, but he was not worried: "With Kumbu and Yazai here, it's fine."

I squeezed the palm of my hand and felt sweat all over my body. These fishermen are too courageous, right?

We stayed in the woods for a while, and decided to go back to the village. Even if Lao Yan said that he was not worried, his frown could not deceive anyone.

rustle!

At this moment, the sound of leaves rubbing against each other penetrated into my ears, the hairs all over my body stood up immediately, and I threw myself forward while pressing Lao Yan's shoulder.

With a bang, I just felt a coolness on my scalp.

Then I looked up and saw a steel knife stuck in the tree trunk, glowing coldly in the moonlight.

I was sweating from shock, and looked back suddenly, but saw nothing. Lao Yan had already stepped forward and pulled out the knife, observing carefully.

"Are these fishermen crazy?" I yelled anxiously.

I can understand that we are not welcome and xenophobic, but why should they kill us?
Lao Yan shook his head, stared at the steel knife for a long time before saying: "It's not them."

"Huh?" I didn't respond for a moment.

Lao Yan handed me the steel knife, and I immediately understood what he meant. This steel knife is very sharp and polished very diligently. It can be seen that it has been taken care of by the owner. The owner must not be used to steel. fisherman with a fork.

I looked at Lao Yan, and felt that the matter was not simple, but Lao Yan didn't seem to care about the appearance of this steel knife at all, and said lightly: "It's a good excuse for us to go back to the fishing village."

Lao Yan grabbed the steel knife and suddenly slashed at his arm, a gash about ten centimeters appeared on his arm, blood staining the ground.

My pupils shrank: "Old Yan, are you crazy too?"

"What nonsense, throw away the knife, let's go back." Lao Yan glared at me, covered his wound and walked towards the fishing village.

I looked at him and immediately understood what he was going to do, only to feel a toothache.I had no choice but to hide the knife well according to his intention, and then caught up with his footsteps.

We were blocked at the entrance of the village. Zheng San led a few rough fishermen holding torches to surround us, with eyes that wanted to swallow us up.

Lao Yan's face turned pale from the pain: "Big brother, you, what are you doing?"

"I told you clearly, don't go out, if you go out in the middle of the night, you are thieves, we don't welcome you." Zheng San said with a grim expression.

Lao Yan took away the hand covering the wound, pointed at the wound and said sharply: "You can't go out? Some people have entered the village and hacked us with knives. We can't escape when we come here? Big brother, who is the enemy of your village? You actually made us scapegoats?"

Zheng San seemed to have just noticed Lao Yan's wound, and his expression was gloomy.

Lao Yan said heartbrokenly: "The superior sent us to Fengshou Village to perform official duties, but I almost died on the first day here, big brother, I haven't settled the debt with you yet!"

Zheng San's expression was a little flustered. After all, we were on official business. Even if they wanted to get rid of us, they could only do it secretly. Putting it on the surface would be against the country.

Lao Yan hit the iron while it was hot: "The person who stabbed me may still be around, you don't hurry to look for it, instead you are arguing with me here, be careful that you and your family will be the next to be stabbed!"

Zheng San looked at us suspiciously, but the knife wound on Lao Yan's hand was obvious, and he knew which was more serious, so he asked two people to take us back, and then called the whole village to search for the murderer.
