Chapter 114: Too much, even the pants are taken away
"return"
As soon as Xuan Yi finished speaking, he shot out. Wen Shu couldn't let him go at this time, so she shouted to stop him and kicked the stone on the ground at Xuan Yi's foot.
Xuan Yi was moving at a high speed, and was worried that something might happen to his brothers guarding outside the village, so he took the stone head-on.
"Master, the longer we delay, the more dangerous the brothers inside will be." Xuan Yi was anxious and looked at Wen Shu who was approaching with full of anxiety.
"Do you think it's appropriate for just a few of us?"
"Do you know what's going on in that village? If our people are discovered, do you think we can accomplish anything with just a few of us? We'll just lose our lives in vain if we go there." Wen Shu said meaningfully while looking at the village not far ahead.
"Besides, it's not certain that we will be discovered and all of us will be captured."
"Girl, have you discovered anything new?" Jueyu had just imitated the girl and listened to the ground for a long time, but she didn't find anything.
Wen Shu looked at Jue Yu and knew that she had also followed her example and lay on the ground to listen to the noise.
“Don’t you think it’s weird?
Xuan Yi said that there are at least dozens or even hundreds of people in the village ahead, and we can't hear any movement, not to mention that our people are waiting outside.
If they had discovered any trace of our people, it would be impossible for there to be no movement at this time. At least the village would have started to be on alert and patrol.
Do you think this is normal?"
Jueyu has been to many places over the years, so she understood everything immediately. "Girl, do you think they might have left? But it's so late, where can they go?"
"Where can they go?" Wen Shu was also wondering.
But now the more unknown it is, the more we don't know where they are going, the more unsure I feel. But we can't put all our eggs in one basket.
Wen Shu turned around and told Jue Yu, "Ride back to the village now. Observe the situation around the village. If there is no unusual movement, go find the Second Elder."
After thinking for a while, he ordered, "Tell the Second Elder to strengthen the village's security and make everyone alert. Then ask him to give you fifty trustworthy men."
"But girl, how could the Second Elder allow me to bring people here? What's more, I..." Jueyu looked embarrassed and her voice lowered unconsciously.
She was just a small guard beside Miss Wenshu. How could she have the ability to easily make the shrewd and extremely shrewd Second Elder hand over a full fifty men? This was simply a fantasy!
Wen Shu looked at Jue Yu with a sharp gaze, "Just go ahead. The Second Elder knows the specific situation of the village very well.
Besides, as the saying goes, 'I won't allow others to sleep beside me,' we must act now."
Wen Shu paused and continued, "Anyway, we'll gather here in half an hour.
If you still haven't seen me after half an hour, lead everyone back to the Du family immediately.
Remember, you must act quickly and there must not be any delay.
In addition, you must arrange for someone to deliver a letter to the village, informing them of the situation here in detail, understand?"
Wen Shu gave repeated instructions and sent Jue Yu away.
He turned around and looked at Xuanyi, pointing to the east side of the village and instructed, "You surround them from that side..."
Do you see the eucalyptus tree on the right side of the village?"
"It's the master"
"Okay, then we'll meet at the eucalyptus tree in half an hour," Wen Shu asked.
"Yes, master," he said, and turned into the woods, not taking the main path.
Wen Shu walked in another direction...
After walking through bushes half a person's height for about a hundred steps, they successfully reached a mud-walled house. The bushes behind them were probably trampled down by the people Xuan Yi had arranged to keep watch there.
The bushes were not tangled, so I guess there was no fight...
The mud-wall house was built on a low earthen slope, and there were no messy footprints under the wall. It was called an mud-wall house, but it was just a house with a mixture of mud and earth at the back facing the wind, supported by wood around it.
It is surrounded by some thatch, which can barely provide shelter from wind and rain.
I pulled aside the thatch leaning against the outside and walked inside. It was empty inside. There was a pile of thatch and straw in the corner of the house, which looked like it was used for resting.
There were still some sparks in the middle of the room. Wen Shu walked closer and saw clearly that there was a hole dug in the middle, with a few stones randomly piled around it. It should be used for cooking or making a fire.
After leaving the hut, there were two or three such houses not far away. Except for the one used for cooking, the other houses were covered with hay and straw, and all of them had collapsed.
Looking at this situation, I have been staying here for a long time.
The fires in the surrounding pits were still emitting residual heat...
The place Wenshu was exploring was due west. The place where she was standing, after climbing over the bushes, was exactly the highest point here.
Going further east, the terrain gradually becomes flatter, and the view is extremely broad at a glance.
Occasionally, there are some houses that look old and broken. These houses seem to have experienced the vicissitudes of time and appear to be a little shaky.
However, there are still traces of recent human habitation.
In this way, Wen Shu carefully searched for clues step by step.
She came to a well-trodden path about four feet wide. Wen Shu stopped and turned to look behind her.
At this moment, the ground was scattered with debris and was in a mess. It was obvious that those people left in a hurry.
After searching for a while, Wen Shu found nothing behind her.
I could only helplessly walk along this main path straight downhill.
Before she got close to the place she had agreed to meet with Xuan Yi, Wen Shu suddenly heard a slight rustling sound.
The sound was particularly abrupt in the silent environment and instantly aroused her vigilance.
Wen Shu stopped and listened, trying to discern the source of the sound. She tiptoed quietly in the direction of the sound, and not far from the village, she found a clue under a large tree.
I saw several dark shadows swaying under the tree, and from time to time there were bursts of low humming sounds.
"Who's there?" Wen Shu shouted towards the source of the noise. She didn't rush forward. After all, in this unknown situation, if someone deliberately set a trap to lure her in, it would be a loss.
So, Wen Shu just stood there quietly, staring at the swaying shadows, wondering whether they were people or something else.
After Wen Shu finished speaking, the sound became more obvious, obviously trying to attract her attention.
I'm hesitating whether to go...
"Shi Tou, why are you here?" Wen Shu heard the familiar voice and subconsciously turned her head to look, only to see Xuan Yi walking quickly towards her from the side.
Just when Wen Shu was slightly stunned, Xuan Yi had already taken big strides and quickly approached.
He was agile and walked straight to the place where the sound came from. He heard a loud noise from inside. After a while, Xuan Yi successfully brought the trapped people out.
"Wow, wow, wow... Boss, you're finally here! You have no idea, those guys are simply too much!" One of them cried, his voice full of grievance and anger.
"That's right, boss! You can't imagine how hateful they are! They rob everything they see, even our pants!" Another slightly childish voice echoed, the words full of indignation.
