Chapter 125 We'll Talk Tomorrow
When Su Chengnan heard what Ashun said, he stood up and came over.
Ah Shun knelt on one knee, calmed his breath, and said, "My Lord, there is an inconspicuous path near the valley at the end of the village. I looked carefully and found that someone had set up a trap there."
"oh?"
Lu Chaofeng raised his eyebrows and drank the tea in his hand slowly.
"I touched it and saw a row of bamboo houses on top, and there seemed to be caves behind it. Although there was no movement, the mud on the ground clearly showed signs of people living there."
Lu Chaofeng stood up and wanted to go over and take a look in person.
Su Chengnan came over to stop him, "It's already dark now, and we're not familiar with this area, so there's no need to take action now."
"I'm afraid they'll run away."
"If you wanted to run, you would have run long ago. Why wait until now?"
Lu Chaofeng hesitated for a moment, and Ah Shun added quickly: "Miss is right, the forest is dark, if we really fight, our chances of winning are very low."
Lu Chaofeng turned his head and looked in that direction, still unwilling to give up, "I'll go over and take a look, you stay here."
He said this while looking at Ah Shun, but actually he was speaking to Su Chengnan. Ah Shun would never let him pass by alone, so he had to quicken his pace and catch up.
Su Chengnan frowned and watched the two people's backs gradually walking away. His eyes flashed and he turned around to look for Chen Gang.
Chen Gang's family of three were sitting together with Sun Liangyuan. His wife had some minor scratches, but he was fine.
When she passed by, Goudan was holding a skewer of roasted birds and eating them slowly with a pious look in his eyes.
"Miss, you are here."
"Yes, Mr. Sun, Brother Chen, and Sister-in-law."
Goudan looked up when he heard the voice and called out crisply, "Hello, Miss Fairy."
"Well, Goudan is good."
She touched his head and motioned for him to continue eating.
"Brother Chen, there might be something in the woods behind us. I would like you to help knock it down. If we do it, how likely are we to find it?"
Chen Gang pushed his wheelchair back a little. Seeing this, Su Chengnan quickly stood up and held the armrest behind his chair. Then he briefly made eye contact with everyone, nodded, and pushed him to the middle of the road.
The view from this position is wide, and she believes that Chen Gang can make a rough judgment with his eyes.
"One point of certainty."
"So little?" she was surprised.
"That's right." Chen Gang nodded and raised his hand to point to the tall, dark mountain over there.
"The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there is wind near the sea. This kind of terrain is rocky and easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"And it's easy to set up traps. We can easily resist by taking advantage of the height differences formed by the natural terrain."
Su Chengnan's eyes flashed and he began to worry again. She silently pushed Chen Gang back to his original position.
Su Chengnan fell into deep thought. She knew that the team could not suffer any more losses, but if she wanted to find the things and people without any effort, wasn’t this a little unrealistic?
Seeing that she had been staring at the fire, Chen Gang consoled her, "Miss, when it gets light, this matter will be much easier. We will stay here and it will be safe for a short time."
"Safety?"
She repeated it in a low voice and shook her head silently, "We know too little about this place. We are currently seriously injured and have suffered heavy losses. If any disturbance occurs again, I am afraid that people's hearts will be scattered."
Sun Liangyuan shrank his nose and sighed, "Yes, today is really difficult. We are lucky to be alive."
Goudan raised his little head, licked his greasy lips, and said with a pair of bright eyes, "Sir, I want to spare some time to learn some boxing and kicking from the guards, is that ok?"
When he said this, everyone was stunned.
Sun Liangyuan nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, but don't let it affect your studies."
Goudan nodded heavily: "You need to be alive to study. After I learn Kung Fu, I can not only protect myself, but also my parents and my teacher in the future!"
Chen Gang felt complicated as he listened to his son's words. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had accepted his fate.
Su Chengnan curled his lips and said, "Goudan is a good kid. You will definitely become a talented person in the future."
"Yeah, I think so too."
His decisive answer made everyone burst into laughter, and the sad mood on their faces just now was swept away.
At this time, Lu Chaofeng brought A Shun back from the foot of the mountain.
He saw from afar Su Chengnan sitting next to Chen Gang, a group of people talking and laughing. For some reason, the corners of his mouth sank and he felt a little unhappy.
He walked over and said in a deep voice: "It's late at night, I'll take you back to the carriage to rest."
Su Chengnan didn't expect him to come back so quickly, and was a little confused for a moment, "Did everything go well?"
Lu Chaofeng said inexplicably: "It's going well. Wait another hour and I'll bring people over."
Su Chengnan frowned. "I just asked Brother Chen, he said this terrain is very risky. Should we wait a little longer? Let's talk about it in the morning."
Lu Chaofeng frowned and blurted out words of disapproval, "No need, I will definitely be able to take people there myself."
His tone was very stiff, as if the matter was not negotiable.
This attitude made Su Chengnan very confused, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
In fact, Lu Chaofeng is not a person who likes to show off, and he has no need to be greedy for credit. But he saw that Su Chengnan would rather ask Chen Gang than discuss with him and listen to his opinions, which made him feel a little depressed.
Ah Shun stood behind him, lowered his head and frowned, wondering what was wrong with the prince this time? It was clearly agreed that we would first take people to search the village to see where those gangsters lived, and if there were any supplies that could be used, we would give them to the common people first. We couldn't let people freeze to death in the cold wind.
If it is confirmed that some houses do not have secret doors, the injured will be allowed to move in first. In short, let everyone spend the night in peace. Let's wait until tomorrow morning to make plans.
But why did the prince change so suddenly?
Ah Shun scratched his head and raised his head.
His eyes met Su Chengnan's puzzled look. He shuddered and quickly buried his face in his chest, staring at his toes, pretending to be completely deaf and dumb.
Anyway, he didn't believe that the prince would joke about his brothers' lives. He must have been distracted for a moment and would change his mind later. Yes, that's definitely the case.
Su Chengnan coughed lightly, and felt that he still needed to persuade them, "Everyone is seriously injured, let them take a break first. Otherwise, let's go and see where the production is first, maybe there will be unexpected gains?"
Lu Chaofeng was a little stunned by the words he had just said, but when he heard that Su Chengnan had the same idea as him, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
"Yeah, that's fine."
"Then shall I take you there to have a look?"
