Chapter 68 Let the Arrow Fly for a While

Everyone sniffed and smelled the smell of dirt and rotten leaves.

Su Nuan knew that her body had changed. Her sense of smell, hearing and vision were better than those of ordinary people.

She said, "There are no houses in the mountains, so the people who set the fire must be bandits."

"It's not even noon yet. If you light the fire so early, you must be cooking for many people. Come with me."

She led her men quietly to a place where there was a smell of fireworks.

Soon they arrived at the halfway point of the mountain. There was a small valley just below them. There were many caves on the left, which were man-made, not natural caves.

There was a big pot on the flat ground at the entrance of the cave, with meat cooking in it, but the water had not boiled yet.

Four or five men in black shorts were busy carrying firewood and fetching water...

Li Shitou asked in a low voice: "Aunt, what should we do?"

Su Nuan was silent for a moment, then took out an arrow, took out a medicine bag and tied it to the arrow with a hemp rope.

"Just watch carefully."

The shooting of the bandits that day and the hunting in recent days have made Su Nuan's archery skills improve by leaps and bounds, and he has become a superb archer.

She drew her bow and shot.

Li Shitou frowned, "So high? I can't hit it."

He thought Su Nuan was going to shoot the people below.

Just after the arrow was shot out, Su Nuan shot another arrow quickly.

The five grown men were all confused. Why was the arrow pointing towards the sky?

Are we going to wait for the arrows to fall and kill the people below? That's too absurd, isn't it?

Su Nuan smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, let the arrow fly for a while."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the arrow, or more precisely, the medicine bag on the arrow.

Just when the arrow was about to reach the iron pot, Su Nuan shot the arrow that was tied to it and knocked down the medicine bag. The two arrows disappeared into the distance together.

The medicine bag fell into the pot accurately in a parabola due to inertia.

The five people were so shocked that their mouths opened wide. If it wasn't so inappropriate, they would have screamed out loud.

Su Nuan smiled and said, "How is it?"

Li Shitou exclaimed in admiration: "Aunt, your archery skills are amazing."

Su Nuan waved her hand with a hint of pride and feigned modesty, "Practice diligently. I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Later, my master said I was old enough to get married, so I took a break and healed my rough hands."

Over the past few days, her hands have grown thin calluses, making them look like the hands of a martial artist.

Li Shitou's eyes were filled with admiration. "Aunt, when we get there, you can take me in as your apprentice. Don't worry, I'll be responsible for all the work of chopping wood and fetching water."

Su Nuan smiled and said, "No problem, just wait until your uncle agrees."

The most important thing for surviving in a strange place is connections. Most of the soldiers in the team are orphans. If Li Shitou stays, then the others will also stay. Wouldn’t that mean he will have his first batch of guards?

Li Shitou scratched his head. "He will agree. Yesterday he told me to follow you closely. Maybe he will move his family here too."

Su Nuan knew that Cheng Feng had not made up his mind yet, but there was no rush, so he would talk about it after they got there.

She raised her index finger to her lips and said, "Shh..."

Everyone looked down and saw a few more people coming out of the cave. No one knew what they were talking about.

Su Nuan had good hearing and she heard what those people said.

The people who came out of the cave told them to cook quickly and that they would ambush on the road in the afternoon and kill all the passing troops.

He also said that he wanted to capture all the women so that he could play with them for a long time.

Su Nuan spat, "Pah, a bunch of beasts, I shouldn't have used drugs, I should have just used poison that kills instantly."

She softly repeated what those people said, and the five men were so angry that they almost went down to fight.

Su Nuan quickly said, "Don't worry, let the drug take effect for a while."

The five people had already obeyed Su Nuan's words and they immediately waited quietly.

Su Nuan touched her chin and said, "Forget it, let's go."

Li Shitou asked blankly, "What's wrong?"

Su Nuan smiled and said, "Aren't you hungry? We need to eat too. Let's take you somewhere farther away to eat."

"Oh oh oh..." Li Shitou immediately followed.

After the few people left, Su Nuan hunted two pheasants, peeled them directly, smeared salt on them, wrapped them in leaves, buried them in the soil, and lit a bonfire on them.

It was broad daylight and they were using dry firewood, so there was no smoke.

Besides, the wind was strong above the trees, and all traces disappeared once the wind blew. This was why Su Nuan only discovered that there was someone there when she smelled the smell of fireworks.

When the chicken was cooked, Su Nuan dug it out, pulled out two legs, and said, "You can eat the rest. If you don't have enough, there are pancakes here."

The man had a big appetite, so the chicken was definitely not enough, so he took some bread to eat.

Li Shitou took a bite of the pancake and said in surprise, "Oh, these fried vegetable pancakes have just the right amount of salt. They're really delicious."

Su Nuan smiled and said, "I can cook a lot of things, but unfortunately the conditions are limited now. When we get to the place and settle down, I will cook for you."

"By the way, do you have any family? If you think the North is safe, why not move there and be my neighbor?"

Li Shitou pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know if they will come. We'll see when the time comes."

The other four people did not answer either. They looked sad. It was unclear whether it was because they had no family or because of something else.

Su Nuan didn't ask any further questions. After eating, she said, "Let's go rob."

Li Shitou smiled innocently, "They are robbers. We can't call them big sister. We should call them... um..."

"Be chivalrous and righteous!"

"Suppress the bandits!"

"Rob the rich to help the poor?"

"Well……"

Of the other four, two are educated, and the other two can only smile foolishly.

Su Nuan didn't mind and smiled, "No matter what it is, we are here and we can't go back empty-handed."

"If we can't find the treasure, killing the bandits is a good deed."

She doesn't care whether she does good deeds or not, but how much treasure she can find.

Seeing that the bandit's hiding place is very hidden, I guess the leader is not a weakling, so he must have a lot of wealth.

Su Nuan returned to the place where she had just stayed and looked down. The bandits below had already started eating. The soup in the pot was empty. The two people guarding the pot were sleeping back to back, and the bowls in their hands had rolled away.

Su Nuan calculated the time and said, "It's almost time. Go down and kill them. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself."

The five men nodded immediately, drew their daggers and began to descend to the valley.

Although Li Shitou is young, he has committed many murders. Every time he extends or retracts the short knife in his hand, a life is taken.

There are five caves in the small valley, and the entrance of the largest one is very clean.

It must be where the bandit leader lives, or where they gather.

Su Nuan's gaze fell on the cave behind. There would definitely not be any good things in the place where bandits gathered.

The treasures that the bandits stole must be placed in the caves at the back.

Su Nuan excitedly came to the entrance of the last cave, ran in, but saw hell on earth.
