Various thoughts flashed through the man's mind quickly, but the current situation was unclear, so he chose to stay put. He quietly put one hand behind his back and gestured, while smiling and responding:
"Yeah, what a coincidence. By the way, we forgot to take our tools. Did you see anything?"
"Is this what you mean?"
Jiang Yan raised the iron rod in her hand, looked across and asked curiously, "What is this for?"
"Oh, this is a tool for probing the soil. We call it a hollow iron rod. The village secretary asked us to bring some soil samples back to see if the mountainous area here is suitable for farming."
A man can lie without blushing or getting nervous.
Hearing this, Jiang Yan looked at the iron rod in her hand and suddenly realized, "Is that so? I'll give it back to you then."
As she said that, Jiang Yan was about to throw the iron rod in her hand to the man opposite. The man's eyelids jumped and he quickly spoke out to stop her.
"No, no, I think you like it very much, so I'll give it to you."
"Oh, thank you then."
Jiang Yan felt a little regretful. She had been trying her best to hit the man in the face, but the man had not moved since he appeared and was obviously on guard against them.
But seeing how cautious he is, maybe he can get away with it today.
She looked at Lu Yunsheng beside her, wondering if she was a burden to him. If she was not there, Lu Yunsheng could handle those five people by himself.
As soon as Jiang Yan finished speaking, Lu Yunsheng suddenly spoke.
"It's getting late, we won't bother you anymore, bro. Goodbye."
After saying that, Lu Yunsheng took Jiang Yan and turned to leave. His steps were a little hurried. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he could no longer see the middle-aged man behind him.
His abnormal behavior made Jiang Yan confused. Just as she was about to ask a few questions, Lu Yunsheng spoke first.
"I was scared to death."
"Wife, didn't you see that the man had a knife on his waist? He must not be an ordinary villager. He might be a vicious person."
"This iron rod is strange. I have been farming all my life, and I have never heard of testing the soil quality when farming."
"Let's go quickly. These people are not to be trifled with."
"We need to tell the branch secretary about this. He might be a spy or something."
After hearing what Lu Yunsheng said, Jiang Yan had no idea what he was up to, but she still cooperated with the acting.
"Then you'd better leave quickly. It will be troublesome if they catch up with you. You can't beat so many people."
The two men looked panicked and hurried down the mountain.
In the grass next to it.
"Boss, I told you that you are overthinking. These two are just going up the mountain to collect herbs."
"Damn, that guy looked so tall and strong, but he turned out to be a coward, and he even found such a beautiful wife."
"It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others."
While several younger brothers were talking, the middle-aged man frowned. He was a little afraid of the tall man.
A slightly shrewd young man nearby whispered, "Boss, are you really going to let these two go? Are you not going to dig for gold anymore?"
They have been exposed. If they really let the people go, they must not continue to dig for gold here, otherwise the risk of being exposed will be too great.
If they were caught, every one of them would go to jail, and might even be shot.
When they heard that they could no longer mine gold, the other three brothers quit.
"Dig?"
"Since we're all here, how can we not dig?"
The young man said nothing, waiting for the middle-aged man's decision.
The middle-aged man was also very conflicted. The man gave him a very bad feeling and a sense of threat, which made him a little cautious.
"Boss, why are you still hesitating? They are just two ordinary people."
"yes."
"Boss, people die for money and birds die for food. That's what you said."
Under the urging of the crowd, the middle-aged man cursed in a low voice.
"Damn it, there are so many of us here in the wilderness, no one will know it was us who did it, if we throw it into the mountains, the wild animals will eat it all up."
After making the decision, the five of them quietly retreated into the bushes behind them.
This way.
After walking for a while, Jiang Yan recalled what Lu Yunsheng had just said and understood his intention.
“Here I come.”
Lu Yunsheng's ears twitched and he quickened his pace. A panicked expression appeared on his face as he whispered instructions to Jiang Yan.
"Wife, they will definitely focus on me later, so be careful and hide to the side."
Jiang Yan responded in a low voice, "I can protect myself."
"Where are you going, friend?"
Two people suddenly jumped out in front of him, each holding a machete in his hand. Lu Yunsheng immediately stopped and carefully protected Jiang Yan behind him.
Jiang Yan looked terrified and kept hiding behind Lu Yunsheng.
The two men were so "scared" that they stepped back repeatedly, and three men with weapons appeared behind them, one of whom was the middle-aged man who had spoken to them twice before.
The five people, two in front and three behind, slowly approached Jiang Yan and the other person.
The middle-aged man whispered to the people around him, "Deal with the man first, the woman is easier to deal with."
"Yes, Boss."
The two younger brothers responded in unison, and the man winked at the opposite side, asking them to work together to deal with Lu Yunsheng first.
no way.
In this era of food and water shortage, men are generally short in stature, and a height of 1.7 meters is considered tall.
Lu Yunsheng's height of 184 cm and his strong physique naturally give people a strong sense of threat.
With roads blocked both front and back, Jiang Yan retreated fearfully into the bushes by the roadside.
"superior."
The middle-aged man showed a fierce look on his face and shouted loudly, and the five people rushed towards Lu Yunsheng together.
Seeing how vicious and ferocious these people were, looking like they wanted to eat people, Jiang Yan quickly hid further away to avoid making Lu Yunsheng worry.
Looking at the machete coming towards him, Lu Yunsheng remained calm, dodged the machete flexibly, and kicked out at the same time. The huge force directly kicked the man away.
With a bang, it hit a tree trunk as thick as a bowl.
The branches and leaves of the tree were shaking, and fallen leaves fell on the man with a ping-pong sound.
One against five.
It was the first time that Jiang Yan saw such an exciting scene and she almost screamed out loud. She quickly covered her mouth, fearing that she would disturb the battle.
Bang!
"ah-"
In no time, Lu Yunsheng knocked the five men to the ground.
The five men had bruised faces and noses and lay on the ground screaming in pain.
Lu Yunsheng took two steps to the middle-aged man, stepped on his chest, and asked condescendingly: "Who are you and why are you here to pan for gold?"
The middle-aged man felt a pain in his chest, uttered a low cry, and replied:
"My name is Bai Shenglin, and looking for gold and silver is my ancestral skill. Brother, you are so good at this, why don't you join me and make a fortune together?"
He didn't believe that there was anyone in this world who didn't love gold. Since he couldn't beat him, he would just win him over. There would be plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future.
Lu Yunsheng was unmoved, "Your ancestral craft is not good enough. You have been searching for it for so long and are still wandering around in the mountains."
