"Don't ask, just come."
Li Rui did not dare to delay and called a few cousins to go over together.
A few people looked at the route they were heading towards the wooden house.
"Fat Master, what are we going to do?"
Master Wan San pointed to the horses tied in the woods not far away and said, "Let me see if there are any marks on these horses. If there are no marks, you can take four away."
There are seven households in Lijia Village. Every household has a cart. Two households have carts pulled by oxen, but the other five do not. The cart of Li's uncle fell off a cliff, so now there are only four carts that are operated by manpower.
Now they are in a hurry and have horses to use, so they naturally cannot miss it.
Mr. Wan San walked forward to check the condition of the horses. As they had guessed, the horses these people rode had no special marks and were all ordinary horses.
"Lead four horses."
Li Si looked at the remaining eleven horses and was very excited. "Fatty, what about the other horses? Should we take them away as well?"
Each horse is worth dozens of taels of silver, and a dozen horses would be worth hundreds of taels of silver. Even if they don't need them, they can still make money by selling them.
"As for the rest of the horses, don't think about them. They are not worth taking."
Just get enough for your use, no more.
After they selected the horses, Master Wan San untied the reins of the remaining dozen or so horses.
Li Rui was very surprised to see his action.
"Fatty, why do you want to untie it?"
"Don't worry about that. Harness the horses to the cart and get going."
"oh oh."
The four men leading the horses looked at the corpses on the ground not far away, which were chopped to pieces. Some of them swallowed in fear, but when they thought about how they had found a lot of silver and money on such corpses before, they started to have some ideas.
Li Si and several of his cousins subconsciously walked towards the wooden house.
Wan Sanye saw this and shouted, "What are you doing?"
"Fatty, let's go and search to see if they have anything valuable on them."
"If you want to die, go. If you don't want to die, leave now."
Li Si and his companions didn't dare to move.
"Let's go, let's go now."
Li Rui followed up, "It's great to have the horse, don't think about anything else."
The group hurried back, leading their horses.
The people in Lijia Village happily harnessed the horses. With the horses, the adults felt relieved.
"Li Rui, why don't you take the other horses away as well?" asked the second aunt of the Li family.
"Fatty won't let me bring it."
"Why?" Others were puzzled.
“I don’t know, but there must be a reason.”
They couldn't guess the specific reason.
Li Si said, "Forget about the horses. Fatty won't let us search the dead bodies."
He didn't mention the body, and no one else had thought of that yet.
"Fatty said, if you want to die, go, if you don't want to die, leave. I guess it's the same for horses."
Although I don't know the reason behind it, I think it makes sense to do so.
Even though they can't figure it out, there are naturally people who understand the twists and turns.
After the people of Lijia Village got horses, Su Yin no longer had to worry so much. The carriage could run as fast as it could.
Of course, this speed cannot be compared with the speed during the day.
The group of men in black did not stop all night, searching for the body.
Su Yin and his group were also busy as well, traveling all night.
Now the two sides are competing in speed.
Did they arrive at Linzhou Prefecture first and blend in with the refugees? Or did the other party get there first, find the body, and return to investigate?
In the face of death, Su Yin and his companions did not dare to relax for a moment.
From night to day, from rainy night to when the rain stops.
When the sun came out in the sky, Su Yin still did not stop.
"Cousin, tell the people behind us that we will keep going during the day and will only take a break at noon at most. If people are tired, let everyone take turns to rest. We are running for our lives now, so we should not stop if we can."
The midday break is not for people, but to give the animals a break.
If cattle, horses, and mules are driven continuously, they will not be able to bear it. If they collapse, they will be the ones who suffer.
If possible, Su Yin would like to walk without stopping and reach Linzhou Prefecture as quickly as possible.
Yang Rong nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to them."
Master Wan San knew her concerns and comforted her, "Don't worry. After we get out of this mountain road and reach the official road, we can split the whole team into small pieces. This way, we won't be too conspicuous."
"Breaking it up into smaller pieces is one way to do it, but I'm afraid someone won't be able to hide the truth."
"There is no perfect method in the world. Every method always has flaws." Master Wan San looked at the team.
These people are not as good as those who have been carefully trained, but compared with other refugees, they are already pretty good.
"You have to try to believe them, too. Maybe they are more powerful than you think."
Su Yin turned around and glanced at the team behind him, "Maybe."
If it really comes to that, it all depends on fate.
Now she kept praying that those people could find the body a few days later, so that they would have enough time to reach Linzhou Prefecture.
After traveling for two consecutive days, Su Yin and his group bypassed Pingyang County and returned to the official road.
Walk another ten miles forward and you will see Linzhou Prefecture.
It was already dark, so it was no longer appropriate to move forward. After two days of continuous travel, with only two or three hours of rest each day, everyone was already exhausted.
"You can breathe a sigh of relief tomorrow morning when you can get into the city."
Su Yin shook her head. "I won't feel at ease until I get to Linzhou Prefecture."
"It shouldn't go wrong."
"Perhaps."
At the same time, a group of people in black who had been searching for bodies under the cliff finally found the body of the leader downstream, which was swollen by the flood.
Due to heavy rain in the mountains, the stream water in the canyon surged, and the body was thrown from the cliff and fell directly into the river.
The corpse was naturally washed downstream by the surging river water.
If not for this, the body would have been found by them long ago. We can only say that Su Yin and his group were lucky.
"Sir, the body has been found."
The black-clad assassins reported to the ghost-faced man immediately.
"lead the way."
When the ghost-faced man reached the place where the body was, his subordinates had already started the autopsy.
People stood aside and waited quietly for the result.
The subordinate who had finished the autopsy stood up and replied, "Sir, there is no clue to the treasure map on the body."
The ghost-faced man was not surprised at this result at all.
"However, I have discovered something else. This person did not fall off the cliff accidentally, nor did he jump off the cliff by himself. Instead, he was killed and thrown off the cliff."
The ghost-faced man's pupils shrank slightly, "You said he was killed and thrown off the cliff?"
"Yes. This man's legs were cut off, and the fatal wound was in his heart. He was killed in one blow. From the wound, we can see that the attacker was very quick and decisive. The person who killed him was definitely not an ordinary person."
