Chapter 358 They are bad people

"Bandits suddenly came to our village. Our parents risked their lives to send us out, and in the chaos, we just ran in any direction and ended up here!"

"Yes, we originally wanted to seek help, but there wasn't a single person in the village. We thought the village had also been ravaged by bandits, so we went into the village to find out what was going on..."

"So that's how it is."

Lan Yun cursed the bandits fiercely, "Damn bandits, their target isn't just Shuimiao Village?"

Sheng Sheng also felt it was hateful: "Then, what about the people in that village...?"

She paused, glancing at the three boys. Seeing their pitiful state, she felt a pang of reluctance to continue.

Lan Yun hardened his fist: "Apart from Shuimiao Village, there are no soldiers guarding the other villages. Those despicable bandits, how dare they harm innocent people like this!"

“Now that things have come to this, it means those bandits have already started moving, right? We can’t leave the other villages right now, so we can only deal with them after we’ve wiped out the bandits and everything is over.” Sheng Sheng said calmly with a frown. “Right now, let’s take these young men to the cellar and hide with them for the time being.”

"good!"

Sheng Sheng and Lan Yun exchanged a few words briefly. It was too dark at night, and the two did not notice the ruthless look in the eyes of the little boys as they discussed.

While the two were talking, the boys moved closer to them without making a sound. The hand that was pressing on the wound had somehow moved to the back of their waist, as if they were groping for something.

Yan Hu was the first to notice the group's subtle movements. He slowly stepped in front of them to block their actions, his eyes shining brighter and clearer in the moonlight, like two crystal-clear glass beads.

Yan Hu lowered its tail and coldly looked at the people in front of it, silently warning them.

The three little boys gasped for breath, probably because animals' eyes are natural reflective beads, and the light reflected from Yan Hu's eyes after the faint moonlight shone on them was unusually bright.

However, Yan Hu's body was obscure and unclear in contrast to the light in his eyes, which made it appear to the three of them that his eyes, which reflected light and refracted dazzling colors such as red and green, were floating in the air.

The three were startled, and it wasn't until Yan Hu bared his teeth at them impatiently that the boy in the lead realized it was just a dog.

After breathing a sigh of relief, they realized that they had been sweating on their foreheads.

Strange, how could I see a warning in a dog's eyes?

They were actually frightened by a dog.

The boys exchanged glances, looked at Sheng Sheng and the other boy who were talking quietly, and then at Yan Hu.

Although it's just a dog, this dog is truly terrifying.

Just as the group hesitated about whether to continue forward, they suddenly noticed that behind those warning eyes, another pair of even larger and more imposing eyes slowly moved forward and finally fixed their gaze on the dog.

The same light, the same warning, and even a strange sense of oppression.

Two pairs of eyes stared straight at them, causing the three of them to instinctively take a step back.

"W-what..."

"Two dogs?"

"No..." The little boy took two steps back hesitantly, his finger pointing forward trembling. "It's...it's a..."

The other two stared blankly as the owners of the two pairs of eyes approached them step by step. Only then did they realize with shock that one was a dog, and the other—was a tiger!

"ah!"

The three were startled; the oppressive aura of the king of beasts filled them with fear.

"Um?"

Upon hearing the noise, Sheng Sheng turned around and thought it was Yan Hu and Shi Tou trying to scare him.

"That's strange, Yan Hu and Shi Tou never do this."

He called out repeatedly, "Stone, Yan Hu, don't be naughty."

Just as Yan Hu was about to remind her, his ears twitched: "Sheng Sheng, someone's coming."

What?

Sheng Sheng immediately became serious and naturally attributed the reason for the two little ones' unusual behavior to this.

The next second, Lan Yun also became serious and said in a low voice, "Miss, someone is coming."

The three little boys exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion.

They haven't started yet, so no one should be here yet, right?

Lan Yun quickly opened the wooden entrance to the cellar and called down. Six soldiers rushed out and respectfully asked, "What are your orders, young lady?"

“Someone’s coming. I suspect they’re bandits.”

"What!"

The officers and soldiers looked at each other, at a loss. "What...what should we do? There are so many of them, and we only have six people!"

"Don't rush, take these children away first."

Lan Yun handed Sheng Sheng and the boys over to the soldiers, asking them to take Sheng Sheng and the boys to the cellar to hide. She then flew onto the roof to observe the surrounding situation.

Unexpectedly, just as Lan Yun stepped onto the roof, the soldiers saw the little boy covered in blood and were helping him toward the cellar when suddenly they heard the sound of a knife piercing flesh.

"ah!"

Immediately following were the screams of the officers and soldiers.

Sheng Sheng initially thought it was bandits, but when she heard the sound and turned around, she saw that the ones who killed the soldiers with knives were none other than those little boys.

These little boys looked injured and weak, and they were so young, so why would the soldiers be wary of them?

The soldiers were supporting them, not thinking too much about it, so much so that they were still in disbelief when these little boys stabbed them in the stomach with knives in each hand.

With the fall of the six soldiers, the three little boys showed no signs of weakness, but instead displayed the same savagery and ruthlessness as the bandits.

Sheng Sheng realized almost instantly that these three little boys were not villagers who had escaped from the clutches of bandits, but rather bandits who had been sent to put on a show and easily eliminated the government troops!

"No, you're only a few years old, how could you have gone astray like this?"

Sheng Sheng was on the verge of tears, but seeing that Lan Yun had already noticed something was wrong and came down, she quickly ran towards the entrance of the cellar.

"Sister Lanyun, they are bad people!"

Lan Yun's eyes flashed coldly as he blocked the three little boys who were about to chase after Sheng Sheng, somewhat angrily saying, "Black Wind Stronghold really is no good. They even used a few children!"

"Hmph, Black Wind Stronghold feeds us, that's why we don't have to wander, it's not like what you say!"

Another little boy stopped him: "We're no match for her, don't provoke her!"

"What are you afraid of? The boss is right around here. He won't let anything happen to us!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yun calmly scanned her surroundings, quickly analyzing possible hiding places in her mind, and finally focused her gaze on the dense woods surrounding the backyard.
