"What a pity!" Captain Wu clapped his hands and said with great sorrow.
"Forget it. We have already got so many horses. We are already very lucky. If that horse is lost, then it is lost."
"Take these men back to the camp first. There should still be people guarding the bandit's lair." said Captain Ma.
Captain Wu asked, "There are so many young people here. There shouldn't be many left in their old nest. How about I take some people over and wipe them out right now?"
Captain Ma paused and said, "Take a few brothers with you. Be careful, in case they have a backup plan."
"Yes! Captain!"
Captain Wu led his men away without stopping.
Just as he guessed, there were few people left in the bandit's lair, only some women, children and young kids were left.
Some of these people were captured, but some were brought back voluntarily.
When they saw Captain Wu and his group rushing in, several women and children burst into tears.
There is no other reason, in this case it must be that something has happened to their husbands or sons.
Although these people cried their hearts out and looked miserable, Captain Wu and his soldiers did not sympathize with them at all.
They have been in the bandit's den for so long, how could they not know what these people are doing?
Everything they eat, drink and use is snatched from others. They live much better than those poor families. There is really nothing to sympathize with them.
However, there were a few children who opened their eyes wide and looked at Captain Wu in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
Facing their clear eyes, Captain Wu felt a little uncomfortable. The best outcome for these children was to be sent to an orphanage.
Captain Wu and his men searched the bandit's lair and found a lot of things.
Food, guns and ammunition, rapeseed oil, and a few old horses.
There were a lot of banknotes in the bandit boss' room, all of which were taken away by Captain Wu.
These are all stolen goods, and Captain Wu must take them back and turn them in.
After the bandit suppression mission was completed, Captain Ma led his team back without delay.
With these horses and things, they made a lot of money in this bandit suppression campaign.
After their figures gradually disappeared, Feng Lingyu and Shen Huaiyu came out.
"I think Captain Ma is very happy." Feng Lingyu said with a sigh.
She was envious of those horses, but she couldn't let Captain Ma make his trip in vain.
Since he had helped her so much, she should be given some hard work fees, so Feng Lingyu did not touch those horses.
Fortunately, she picked up the bandit boss's escaped horse.
With such a BMW, she was very satisfied.
"Let's go, let's go in and take a look, in case there is anything we missed." Shen Huaiyu just smiled and said.
"Okay." Feng Lingyu also wanted to take advantage of the situation. After all, she had given so many supplies to Captain Ma. It would be great if she could earn it back.
The closer you get to Yuanbao Lake, the more lush the aquatic plants become.
In order to facilitate entry and exit, the bandits laid a wooden plank road, which was only about one meter wide, just enough for people to walk.
As for the horses, they took another open road.
After walking more than thirty meters inside, the dense grass finally disappeared. A gust of cold wind mixed with moisture blew in my face, freezing my bones.
Feng Lingyu sneezed immediately. She put on her hat and scarf and complained to Shen Huaiyu, "The river wind in winter is so cold. Are you cold? I have a hand warmer."
Shen Huaiyu was wearing a thick down jacket, but because of his tall stature, he didn't look bloated at all. Instead, he looked slender and as delicate as a jade.
He took a small step forward and stood in front of Feng Lingyu, immediately blocking the wind blowing in his face. "I'm not cold, just take care of yourself."
After saying that, he reached out and straightened Feng Lingyu's crooked hat. After looking at him for a while, he pushed it down again until the brim of the hat almost covered Feng Lingyu's eyes. Only then was he done.
"Let's go." Looking at the tightly wrapped little girl, her eyes were watery and she looked a little childish, Shen Huaiyu pulled the corners of his lips.
"Are you really not cold?" Feng Lingyu asked again, looking at Shen Huaiyu with bright eyes, as if to say, "Don't be so stubborn."
"I'm really not cold, I'm not lying to you." Shen Huaiyu said helplessly.
He is young and wears thick clothes, so it is normal for him to have a hot temper.
Seeing that Feng Lingyu was still a little skeptical, Shen Huaiyu simply reached out and took her hand, and put them back in his pocket.
His hands were warm, and his palms were a little damp, in stark contrast to Feng Lingyu's cold hands.
Feeling the warmth, Feng Lingyu finally believed that Shen Huaiyu was really not cold anymore.
"Young people are really hot-tempered." Feng Lingyu thought with some envy.
Her hands and feet are always cold, and she can't live without heating in the winter, not to mention being blown in the cold wind.
Although her deficiency had been cured by the spiritual spring water, the problem of cold hands and feet had not improved.
She was so envious of someone as warm and cozy as Shen Huaiyu.
Shen Huaiyu continued walking with her hand in hand, and before long, they saw a dozen tents standing not far away.
To prevent moisture, these tents are built on stone foundations, one meter above the ground.
"Let's go into this tent first." Feng Lingyu said, pointing to the largest and most luxurious tent.
Because this largest tent must be where the bandit boss lives.
Shen Huaiyu nodded.
After the two of them went in, they found that the furnishings inside the tent were very nice and complete with all kinds of furniture.
But all the things inside had been moved away, and it should have been done by Captain Wu and his troops.
Feng Lingyu didn't care about the things that were taken away. They were just small things and not worth much.
While Shen Huaiyu was looking for something and not paying attention, Feng Lingyu closed his eyes and felt around, and finally found something strange under a carpet.
Feng Lingyu was delighted, she knew that these bandits had been robbing for more than ten years, how could they only have those things in their hands, they must have some treasures hidden in the bottom of the box.
She squatted down and began to search on the ground. Unfortunately, before she could pretend to find something wrong, Shen Huaiyu, who had been searching, suddenly said, "Found it."
Feng Lingyu: “…”
"How did you find it?"
Seeing Shen Huaiyu accurately lift the carpet, Feng Lingyu couldn't hold it in anymore and took the initiative to ask.
"Where else could it be if not here? The old man is at most 1.55 meters tall. How could he reach the top of the tent? And don't you think this carpet is too new? It's obvious that the owner is reluctant to step on it." Shen Huaiyu explained innocently.
Feng Lingyu's mouth twitched. He never expected it to be like this.
However, she also secretly kept these in mind and reminded herself to observe more next time.
For example, she didn't pay attention to details like the height of the old bandit.
Compared with Shen Huaiyu, she was still too careless.
There was a wooden board under the carpet. Feng Lingyu took out a crowbar from the space and planned to pry the board open directly.
Just before she took action, she thought of the old man's insidiousness and took out two gas masks from the space.
"Put it on, just in case." Feng Lingyu handed the mask to Shen Huaiyu.
This old bandit has been on the streets for decades, and she doesn't believe that he has no backup plan.
After the two men put on their masks, Feng Lingyu placed the crowbar under the wooden board and exerted force with his hands. The board was lifted to the side, revealing two boxes underneath.
