The robber walking in front heard the movement behind him and thought that his brother had fallen. When he turned around, he saw the man lying in a pool of blood with his eyes open.
The robber shuddered and looked around vigilantly, but did not see a single figure.
He looked at the tightly closed door in horror, his throat slipped, and he didn't even dare to collect the body of his companion, and fled in a panic! "Where's Zhang Daniu?"
A bearded man asked. He was about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, strong and sturdy, with a fierce look, and looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.
He was the second in command of this gang of robbers.
The robber gestured at his neck, suppressed his fear and whispered, "Second Master, there are experts inside!"
The second in command frowned and said in disbelief: "I'll go meet him!"
The young man at the side stopped him and said, "The boss has said that tonight's operation should not cause any complications. Since the master didn't show up, he must not want to meddle in our affairs. Zhang Daniu must have angered him himself, so it would be useless for us to go."
The second in command thought for a moment, then nodded seriously and said, "Third brother, what you said makes sense! Let's go!"
With Jiang Guanchao's good hearing, he could hear these people no matter how softly they spoke.
He really was too lazy to deal with such trivial matters.
It would be best if they left tactfully. If not, he wouldn't mind having one more murder on his hands.
He looked down at the little guy in his arms.
Wei Xiaobao chewed his fingers, his eyes were wide open, and he looked very energetic.
The situation was a little unusual... Jiang Guanchao subconsciously asked, "Are you still not asleep?"
He actually started talking to a baby? Jiang Guanchao frowned.
Wei Xiaobao's eyes became brighter, and his voice was soft and gentle: "Woo woo woo woo."
"I won't sleep with you or abandon you anymore."
After a moment, Jiang Guanchao leaped up and flew down from the roof in a graceful and elegant manner.
He has an upright posture, and even his martial arts skills are pleasing to the eye.
He slapped the corpse away, came to Yunshuang's door, stepped over the bloodstains on the ground, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door.
Suddenly, he looked at the sleepless little guy in his arms, frowned, and carried Wei Xiaobao back to his room.
He put Wei Xiaobao on the bed, the two of them, big and small, staring at each other.
Wei Xiaobao was very fierce: "Woo wow!"
Jiang Guanchao snorted, turned around and took a handkerchief to wipe the little guy's saliva.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew open the half-closed door.
Jiang Guanchao went to close the door.
But when he returned to the bed, he unexpectedly found that Wei Xiaobao was no longer on it! Wei Xiaobao was eight months old and could already crawl around. He looked around and even under the bed, but he couldn't even see Wei Xiaobao's shadow!
Of course he wouldn't think that Wei Xiaobao had disappeared on his own.
How could an eight-month-old baby have such ability?
He looked at the beams and the roof, then at the door he had just closed.
Could it be that... the door was not opened by the wind just now, but someone came in? And he didn't even notice it! Even Wei Xu and Qiu Lao couldn't come and go freely under his nose, who on earth was that person? ! Jiang Guanchao thought of the gang of robbers.
Could it be that there is a peerless master hiding among them? Jiang Guanchao's eyes turned cold and he chased after him.
At this moment, the gang of robbers had already boarded their carriages and were returning to their stronghold in a mighty procession.
The operation tonight went very smoothly, and it was worth their one-month wait.
After making such a big profit, they won’t have to worry about food and drink for three years.
Their stronghold was not far away, just near the post station, and could be reached by crossing a forest.
One of the robbers said, "Second Master, the horse is running faster and faster."
Another robber said excitedly: "Even the horse knows that we have done a big job, we must go back quickly to claim the credit!"
The second in command laughed out loud! The third in command always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
The carriage sped all the way and arrived at the mountain village unimpeded.
The second in command jumped off the carriage and said, "Brothers! Unload the cargo!"
The robbers jumped down one by one in great excitement.
The brothers in the village swarmed forward.
"Let's do it, let's do it! You guys take a break!"
The second in command patted the third in command on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, go and call the eldest brother!"
The boss was older than the others, about forty years old, with a burly build and a hideous scar on his face.
“Brother!”
The second in command strode over and greeted him.
"Brother."
The third in command also followed.
"Um."
The big boss nodded and looked at the large boxes that were being carried down. There were more than a dozen of them. "Are they all here?"
The second in command waved his arm and said, "They are all here! Not a single one is left for Huang!"
Mr. Huang is the salt merchant.
Such a huge fortune made even the knowledgeable boss couldn't help but feel excited.
He came to the first box and opened the lid himself.
However, to his great surprise, the box was empty. Not only was there no gold, there was not even a copper coin!
"Brother! How is it? Are you shocked—"
As the second in command spoke, he looked at the box with his mouth wide open, and then his smile froze.
Damn it!
Where is the gold!!! The first boss glanced at him and the third boss suspiciously.
The two of them felt a pang in their hearts.
"This, this... must have been moved to the wrong place!"
The second in command was sweating profusely. He and the third in command did not covet the gold! They were innocent! "Brother, look at this box!"
He immediately opened the second box.
Still, the old is empty!
The boss clenched his fists.
The third in command was also confused.
He and his second brother had personally checked that each box was full of gold bars, but now, two boxes of gold were missing? Soon, the third boss found out that he was wrong.
It's not just that two boxes of gold disappeared, but all the gold was gone!
Is this a ghost?
What’s even more bizarre is that in the last box, there lay a cuddly little baby.
Wei Xiaobao's little fat boy held a gold bar in his hand and said cutely: "Woo wow~"
"ah--"
The second in command was so frightened that he fell to the ground, "Ghost——"
When the other bandits saw the sudden appearance of the little baby, their first reaction was "Oh my god! What the hell!"
The second reaction was... this kid is quite good-looking... white, chubby and cute, more beautiful than any other child they had ever seen.
If this is a ghost, then it’s really a ghost! The big boss clenched his fists and said, “Is this the gold you brought back?!”
The Third Master hurriedly said, "Brother, please believe us. We really didn't do anything wrong. We did move the gold onto the carriage. We don't know what happened... If you don't believe me... you can ask the brothers!"
"I don't think you have the guts to do that!"
The head of the family said coldly, looking at the baby in the box with a cold gaze, "Someone did something and left a child behind to humiliate our Black Wind Village! How dare they! Kill this child!"
The second in command looked at the chubby Wei Xiaobao and said in embarrassment: "Brother... I can't do this..."
"Useless stuff!"
The boss grabbed a torch from his subordinate and walked towards Wei Xiaobao step by step.
At this time, a voice as cold as the ice field of ten thousand years came with terrible pressure:
"If you dare to touch her, I will destroy your entire village!"
Leader Jiang, what happened to your promise to hate children?
Wei Xiaobao: Aba Aba!
