Don't mess with the second lady

Chapter 129

The village woman's eyes were red from crying, and her hands were still trembling. Presumably she was frightened by the scene just now, and she said tremblingly: "Where did I go to provoke those wild wolves? Me and I Mr. Xianggong just passed the hillside after returning from his mother’s house, and for some reason, a few feathered arrows shot at him, and my man was shot dead on the spot, leaving me, an orphan and widow, covered in blood. The wild wolves surrounded me when they smelled blood. I am a woman, how have I seen such a formation? I was afraid that my newly born son would be eaten by the wild wolves, so I ran away desperately. Running here... If that hero hadn't suddenly appeared to protect my mother and son, I'm afraid I would have been swallowed alive by those wild wolves before we reached the foot of the mountain..."

The village woman began to cry again, and the baby in her arms seemed to feel the mother's emotions, and cried louder than before.

"Hitted by a feather arrow? The wild wolves gathered after smelling the blood? Why did the feather arrow shoot your husband to death but not her?" Zhu Bufan turned to look at Yan Qianqiu, his eyes sparkling.

Yan Qianqiu was also puzzled, she understood what he meant, all this is not as simple as it seems on the surface, is there someone manipulating behind the scenes?

At the request of Zhu Bufan and others, the woman who escaped from the wolf's mouth took them to the place where her husband was shot by an arrow.

On the hillside, a small road winds, and there are high slopes on three sides. There are many trees on the hillside, and the night becomes more and more dark and silent.

"It's here." The woman walked in front, pointed to a tree stump in front, and then called out in doubt, "Hey, why is my husband's body missing? Was it eaten by wild wolves? My husband ...You have died badly enough, I never thought that you would not be able to leave a whole body after death, how will I live as an orphan and widow..."

The woman burst into tears immediately, lying on the ground trembling uncontrollably.

Zhu Bufan and the others each held up torches, and Nie Xiaoshuang brought the torches closer. Sure enough, there were some remaining bloodstains on the path, but the bloodstains were obviously cleaned by someone, and if it wasn't for some stains on the soil, people wouldn't be able to notice it at all. .

"Their movements are really fast!" Nie Xiaoshuang couldn't help muttering.

Yan Qianqiu also nodded, "Those people do things so thoughtfully, it doesn't seem easy for those people." Thoughtful and rigorous, meeting such an opponent means how bumpy their journey to the treasure is.

"Isn't it? Grandma, no matter how thorough they are, they are still human. As long as they are human, they must have flaws! I, Zhu Bufan, don't believe that I can't find out who is behind that! When I find out these people, I will definitely Exterminate eighteen generations of their ancestors!" Zhu Bufan spat, and was full of scorn when he spoke.

Yan Qianqiu sneered, and said coldly: "Don't worry, maybe they will be exposed without us looking into it."

Zhu Bufan and Nie Xiaoshuang were very puzzled, looked at her puzzled, and looked forward to her next words, but unfortunately Yan Qianqiu didn't say anything more, but asked the two brothers to tell the rest of the brothers to pack their bags and go on the road immediately, trying to get out before dawn. Rushing to the next town, I was afraid that the group of people would return their carbine guns. Now that most of them have been injured, they really can't stand any more trouble.

Zhu Bufan also thought about this, so he didn't ask any more questions. He went back to the camp to greet everyone and walked towards the direction of the town. Going, as a last resort, I had no choice but to let them follow, saying that they would leave when they reached the next town.

Dawn breaks, the light penetrates down from the clouds, and streamers of light are arranged in a fan shape. Each beam of light almost becomes a colorful color, hanging in the sky, beautiful enough to make people lose their way.

The mercenary team finally arrived at the small town at sunrise. The town is not big, with a main street leading to the end, and there are only about a hundred families.

But as soon as I entered the town, I heard the noise of the crowd. The street was occupied by waves of people, and groups of three or five gathered in every corner of the street, and almost all of them had one thing in common, which was exhaustion. .

Even the bloodstains on many people's bodies hadn't dried up yet, and it could be seen that their hearts were extremely heavy. Although places with many people must be noisy, it was not difficult to find out that most of those noisy voices were sighs and weeping.

"Damn, why do you feel that these people look familiar?" Zhu Bufan stood on the edge of the town, his eyes fell on those miscellaneous people on the street.

Yan Qianqiu rolled his eyes, squinted at him, and said: "Why don't they look familiar? Look back, don't they look similar to our team? They are the same embarrassed, the same bruises all over the body, and you can tell at a glance that they have been injured. Attacked. It's just...will it be the same people who attacked us?"

Hearing what she said, Zhu Bufan also darkened his face. He was impatient, so he hurried over and grabbed a random person and began to question him.

As expected, these teams were all attacked, and the methods of being attacked were similar. Either they were attacked by wild animals, or they encountered inexplicable fires, or even encountered landslides. It seemed that they were all accidents. , but all the accidents happened on the same night, so it is definitely not as simple as an accident.

Zhu Bufan and the others followed suit and occupied a corner of the street as a place to rest. The inn and the like had already been filled with early arrivals, so they had no chance.

Bought a few medicinal materials from the medicinal material shop, the people in the team began to care for each other's wounds, and for a while, the atmosphere became extremely oppressive again.

The man with disheveled hair has been sitting quietly beside Yan Qianqiu. He didn't speak, but just sat quietly. The drooping bangs covered his face, making it impossible to see the expression on his face clearly. Although the wound on his back After the treatment, the bleeding was no longer there, but the blood under the white cloth could still be vaguely seen, especially the robe on his body had already been split in half by the long sword, and now it was only hanging on his body symbolically.

Yan Qianqiu glanced at him, then frowned, sighed a long time, Yan Qianqiu stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and then walked to the depths of the street.
