Chapter 38 Uninvited Guests (Please Collect)
"Oh, I don't know what our uncle is thinking, but I do know that if we hadn't been so tolerant, Ouyang Feilian wouldn't have dared to attack my sister..."
Listening to Ouyang Minglou's angry words, Ouyang Mingxu calmly glanced at the eldest son who was sitting nearby waiting for his meat, and said in a low voice, "Brother, I think mother is worried that he will know that we are good at martial arts and set his sights on us."
Ouyang Minglou simply didn't understand this situation. He said angrily, "Speaking of this makes me angry. Our father has worked so hard over the years and gained nothing. No one could have imagined that that old witch would actually hire someone to kill someone."
"I don't know why, but when I heard the news, I didn't do anything. Second brother, do you think I have any plans?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Mingxu frowned and thought, "Maybe. I always feel like my mother seems to know something..."
"You think so too."
"Yeah. Big brother, from the moment we entered the mountains, I had a bad feeling that something was going to happen."
Seeing Ouyang Mingxu's furrowed brow, Ouyang Minglou took his words to heart and prepared to wait for the youngest brother to come back. He asked him to keep an eye on his sister and never let her out of his sight no matter what happened.
The brothers' conversation ended like this, but Ouyang Minglou became more vigilant. He believed the second brother's feelings. After all, given their uncle's personality, he wouldn't let them go on so smoothly. He wondered if his uncle's "friends" would...
Time passed as the two brothers thought about it...
When Xu Yuzhu appeared with her two children, the three of them had nothing but dry firewood in their hands.
When Old Madam Ouyang saw this, she curled her lips and muttered, "What a loser! He's been out for so long, and he only brought back some firewood."
"Grandma is absolutely right. I think Second Aunt must have hidden the good stuff. Second Aunt is a martial artist, so how could she just pick up some twigs and branches?"
Hearing Ouyang Feilian's words, Madam Ouyang responded: "Well, our Lian'er is still smart. Your second aunt is treating us as fools..."
Ouyang Mingqing, who was sitting nearby, heard what his grandmother and sister said, then looked at his grandfather and father, then retracted his gaze and stared into the distance without saying a word.
He never understood why his father always targeted his second uncle's family. Even though his second uncle was not his grandmother's son, he was his grandfather's son and his father's brother. Why did his grandmother and father always target him?
Ouyang Mingqing was pondering this question in his mind, while several children from the second and third rooms gathered together, sitting on the ground and whispering to each other until Meng Yi's voice came.
"Dinner is ready."
Although the four members of the Ouyang family, father and son, were all wearing shackles, their movements were slower but nothing else was affected.
The officers and soldiers in charge of distributing the food each served a bowl of broth with a few small pieces of meat, and then handed them a pancake. This was today's dinner.
After dinner, watching the Ouyang family members fall asleep one by one, Xiao Jiu walked over to Meng Yi, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Ba and whispered, "Starting tonight, the four of us will take turns keeping watch, two in the first half of the night and two in the second half."
Xiaojiu's words surprised Xiaoqi. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Xiaojiu, did you find anything?"
Xiaojiu answered without hesitation: "There's something wrong with the place where this wild boar appeared. Don't forget, we are still on the outskirts. Now is not the time when there is no food. How could a wild boar appear on the outskirts?"
Hearing this, Meng Yi was startled and asked, "Didn't you drive this wild boar out?"
"No. We happened upon a boar running towards you and diverted it."
"What a coincidence!"
Xiao Ba glanced at Meng Yi and said coldly: "Do you believe it?"
"Could it be, it's not"
Xiao Ba didn't say anything else, but instead fixed his gaze on the Ouyang family, looking at each one of them...
That night, Meng Yi and Xiao Qi were responsible for the first half of the night, while Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu were responsible for the second half.
Although everything seemed normal, after thinking about it and considering the previous incident with the wild boar, Meng Yi overturned his claim that it was a coincidence.
After setting out again, Meng Yi was more vigilant when walking in front with his men.
After another half day of peaceful walking, at the end of noon, the leader Meng Yi suddenly saw a few people standing about a hundred meters away. He immediately became alert and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Qi, something's wrong."
As soon as Meng Yi finished speaking, Xiao Qi sneered and said, "Oh, interesting. Meng Yi, do you think we encountered bandits this time, or assassins?"
At the same time, the group saw people emerging from trees and rocks, and then screams were heard.
“Ah…someone!”
"ah…"
"What a lousy place this is, I actually encountered..."
Compared to these voices, the children from the second and third rooms not only became much calmer, but also started to discuss in low voices.
"Third cousin, these people are masked, could they be bandits?"
Before Ouyang Minglou could say anything, the eldest, Ouyang Mingli, was the first to respond, "How could they be bandits? This road should be the mountain road used to escort exiles to their place of exile. What kind of benefits could exiles gain?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Mingxu's voice also rang out: "I'm afraid these people's purpose is not as simple as robbery."
really.
As if to confirm their words, a person a hundred meters away walked towards Meng Yi.
Watching Meng Yi getting closer and closer, the man felt a little scared and thought: The client of this task didn't say that there are generals from the military camp here. Now that the task is completed, I have to go back and talk to the people above me about it.
Meng Yi, who had been immersed in the military for more than ten years, had been staring at the masked man. He naturally caught the flash of surprise in the man's eyes, and then looked at the man with a forced smile and said, "Sir, please show your true face."
"After all, you will soon be killed by my sword, so why hide your head and show your tail?"
"Ha! General Meng is quite arrogant. Unfortunately, you are the only one capable of this. The others, haha, are not worth worrying about at all."
Seeing the man's rather arrogant tone, Meng Yi rolled his eyes, then turned back to look at Xiao Qi and said jokingly: "Seventh Commander, is this man going to be alive?"
"It doesn't matter if I'm dead or alive."
"Yes, command."
As soon as he uttered two words, Meng Yi flew out and started fighting with the masked man.
The other masked men, noticing that they had not expected the disagreement to begin, also came towards the Ouyang family.
Xiao Qi and the other two, who wanted to see the skills of Ouyang Minglou and his brothers, did not move at all. They just stood aside and watched with their swords in their arms.
However, the youngest Ouyang Mingli did not move, but stared at Old Madam Ouyang and their uncle Ouyang Hui together with his sister Ouyang Feiluo.
That's right.
When the two little kids saw the group of masked men who suddenly appeared, they couldn't help but think of the incident when their father was attacked by bandits, and then they looked at the mother and son without blinking.
It was just a suspicion at first, but I didn't expect that instead of seeing anything from Old Madam Ouyang, I actually found a clue from Ouyang Hui.
Faced with the sudden appearance of this uninvited guest, Ouyang Hui was only a little surprised and quickly returned to his calm expression.
If I didn't have very good eyesight and was staring at him the whole time, I probably wouldn't have noticed even that hint of surprise.
Seeing this, the brother and sister shook hands tightly, and then one of them was responsible for keeping an eye on Ouyang Hui, while the other watched the fight between the eldest and second brothers and the officers and soldiers and the masked man.
