“Why aren’t you paying attention to us?” The four rebels were still shouting outside. It was not yet completely dark, so their actions could be seen clearly.
One of them lifted a stone to stand up and looked inside the wall. He was shocked when he saw the layout inside. "There is another wall inside! There are also traps on the ground! I'm afraid it will be difficult to get in. Let's call more people tomorrow."
In the past few days, Kuang Qianli and the carpenter have been studying mechanisms together, including some defensive and counterattack mechanisms in the yard. There are also some fishing lines wrapped around the ground filled with bamboo sticks. If someone runs in it like the bearded man did before, he will be in big trouble.
In addition to fishing lines, Qiao Xuejun also suggested that they make some sharp stone chips and place them at the bottom of the trench so that if someone fell in, it would not be easy.
Another rebel heard this and didn't believe it, so he laughed and said, "Why are you so cowardly?"
He pushed down the teammate who was climbing up the wall by stepping on the stones, and climbed up by himself without even looking. When he was ready to jump down, he looked down, and was stunned when he saw clearly.
This... there is absolutely no place for anyone to step!
Wei Shanzhi was shocked when he saw the arrangement below: "Didn't they say that there were only two young girls? Why is it so tightly sealed? Could those two old guys be tricking us into coming here to die?"
To be honest, even their camps on the mountain are not up to this level.
He began to doubt the two old men in the Qiao family.
"What should we do?" someone asked.
"Shout again, the little girl will be easier to coax." Someone suggested.
As he spoke, he shouted into the yard, "Brother is here to protect you. Don't be afraid. Come out quickly! We have captured your grandparents. They won't bully you anymore!"
He waited, but there was no response from the yard. He was a little dissatisfied: "Damn, little girl, you're still installing it."
Another person also saw the people who were setting up the place and hesitated, "Those two old guys may not be telling the truth. Let's wait and see what happens and ask more. If what the old guys said is true, we'll come back tomorrow night! Anyway, this yard is here, the monk can escape but the temple cannot!"
What they were afraid of was that the people living here were not the ones the two old guys said, but two little girls. If it was a whole family, then even if the four of them went in, there wouldn't be enough space to carry them.
Wei Shanzhi also agreed: "Some people from the town will go up the mountain to fetch water later. Let's ask them about the situation of this family and come back if there is no problem."
"Let's go today."
On the second floor rooftop, the four people watched the rebels below turn around and leave, and their tense nerves relaxed a little. It seemed that there would not be a fierce battle today. Kuang Qianli even put down the bow in his hand.
"Wait!" Just as the four rebels were about to leave, a call suddenly came from the other side, stopping them.
Qiao Xuejun looked up and saw Qiao Yaozu running towards them at the fork in the road outside the courtyard. He waved at them, "Wait a minute, stop!"
The four rebels stopped in their tracks. Kuang Qianli raised his bow again.
"I heard you say that you saw my grandparents?" Qiao Yaozu stood in front of Wei Shanzhi and asked in a low voice.
Wei Shanzhi looked at Qiao Yaozu and laughed disdainfully: "You are the grandson of those two old guys? Looking at your fat and bloated appearance, you must be well fed, right? Your grandparents are as skinny as a bamboo pole, but they feed you fat."
Qiao Yaozu was a little scared: "Where are my grandparents?"
Wei Shanzhi snorted: "Do you even need to ask? They came to the mountain and asked us to help them, so of course we charged some interest!"
Qiao Yaozu came to his senses after hearing this and looked happy: "My grandparents invited you out? They asked you to come to my sister's place to ask for something, right?"
Qiao Yaozu could only think this way, wondering what his grandparents had used to invite these people down the mountain to help. Since they could invite them down, there must be no problem.
But seeing these people preparing to leave, he became a little anxious: "Why don't you hurry up? Are you leaving now?"
Wei Shanzhi found it funny: "Are you teaching us how to do things? The last person who taught us how to do things was your grandparents! They are really grandpa and grandson."
After Wei Shanzhi finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Yaozu and started laughing. Several other rebels also laughed along with him.
Qiao Yaozu's face turned red and white, and he suddenly took a step back and shouted, "What do you mean? Where are my grandparents?"
Wei Shanzhi and the others looked at him and smiled: "Come on, follow us and we'll take you to see them!"
Qiao Xuejun already felt that something was not right. She saw Qiao Yaozu followed those people away by himself, but they stopped after a few steps. Qiao Xuejun suddenly heard a scream of pain.
Now it was dark, and she only saw Qiao Yaozu fall down with blood flowing from his body.
"You still want to go with us?" Wei Shanzhi held a bloody hatchet in his hand and spat at Qiao Yaozu who was lying on the ground. Several people left together without paying any attention to Qiao Yaozu.
Qiao Xuejun's pupils shrank when she saw this.
The other three were also silent. After a while, the carpenter asked, "Did they... kill him? Why?"
It was the first time they saw the rebels killing people. It was very decisive, neat, and shocking. After all, in their opinion, Qiao Yaozu had not offended them just now, but in the blink of an eye, they started killing.
In the eyes of these onlookers, this killing was even unreasonable. Although they did not sympathize with Qiao Yaozu, they were also chilled by the inhuman cruelty of the rebels.
Wang Juanfeng replied to the carpenter: "Why?"
