Chapter 154 Waiting for the Rabbit
At the foot of Cangshan Mountain
When night fell, Xue Xu came out from a small path carrying a small bag. He patted the snow on his body, put on his hat, covered himself with a towel, and walked forward calmly.
He will leave secretly tonight. Tomorrow morning, when the people in Qinglong Village find out that he is not in the village, he will have already gone far away.
"Good evening, Mr. Xue." A clear voice rang out in the quiet snowy night.
Xue Xu was startled. Was he ambushed? "Who?"
His mind raced, wondering if this was an accidental encounter or if he had been waiting here on purpose. But the fact that the other person had accurately called out his last name meant that he was probably waiting here intentionally.
Thinking of this, his heart sank. Who on earth could have predicted his plan and ambush him here?
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman with a woman's hairstyle and wearing a white fox fur cloak not far away, looking at him with a smile.
Next to her, a handsome young man was holding an umbrella for her.
Around them, more than ten cavalrymen armed with bows and arrows were facing him in a fan shape.
Xue Xu felt that as long as he did something wrong, the opponent would be able to shoot him into a hedgehog.
"Swords and knives have no eyes. Let's talk it out. Let's talk it out." He said quickly.
Lu Songli said, "As the saying goes, ducks know first when the river water warms in spring. Mr. Xue is worthy of being the military advisor and wise man of Qinglong Village. His ability of foresight is really amazing." Sure enough, the village chief Qiu Hai was able to escape from danger time and time again. He must have a master behind him.
Xue Xu thought to himself, no matter how powerful he is, he has been blocked by you guys. "I cannot bear such praise."
"Are you two, the virtuous couple, currently staying in Qingxi Village?"
Lu Songli praised, "Mr. Xue is really a smart man."
Xue Xu understood that his previous intuition was correct, and this group of people was indeed not simple.
"Are you two here waiting for the old man?" Xue Xu asked tentatively.
"Yes, we have come here specially to wait for you. Mr. Xue, please come with us back to Qingxi Village and stay for two days."
When Xue Xu heard this, he showed an expression that was uglier than crying, "Okay, okay." Your way of inviting people is very unique.
"Actually, I'm just a small figure in Qinglong Village, living off the elderly. Could you two kindhearted couples please show some mercy and let Xue go?" Xue Xu still wanted to struggle.
Lu Songli laughed, "Mr. Xue is too modest."
"Really? Xue is just an old man who believes he has never done anything against the law..."
Lu Songli said, "I believe what Mr. Xue said. After Mr. Xue went to Cangshan, there has been very little killing in Qinglong Village in the past two or three years. Although the villagers near Cangshan have had a harder time, at least no one has lost a life."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Xue Xu said embarrassedly, knowing that his plan of enclosing land to raise pigs had been seen through by the other party.
"We all know Mr. Xue's contributions. But please forgive us for not letting him leave just yet."
"Okay, okay, if you don't mind keeping this old guy for two days, then he will go back with you." He knew the situation very well, and at the same time he knew in his heart that Qinglong Village had really hit a wall this time.
"Mr. Xue, I'm sorry." Hu Guangcong stepped forward and tied him up tightly.
Yo yo!
Just then, a newly grown fawn jumped out from the side.
Before anyone could react, Qin Sheng drew his bow and shot the deer. The arrow killed the deer, and it slowly fell to the ground.
Xue Xu's eyes widened. He had lived in Cangshan Mountain for three years. In the autumn, the leaders of Qinglong Village often took people out hunting, but they had never hunted a deer.
And there are still deer in the middle of winter? Damn it!
Xue Xu's gaze kept switching back and forth between Lu Songli and Qin Sheng.
His old friends often said that he had a bit of luck, but he always felt that his success was just due to his caution. But deep down, he would occasionally feel proud of his luck.
But now facing these two people, he suddenly felt a little uncertain.
"Hurry up, who brought the kettle? While the deer is still hot, let's bleed it quickly. Deer blood is a great tonic." The mission was completed and a big buck was hunted. Many brothers couldn't help but gather around the deer and started working.
Lu Songli said to Qin Sheng with a smile.
Qin Sheng walked towards them and said, "Did anyone bring rice? If so, soak the rice in deer blood. Then go back and dry the rice. When you want to eat it, use the deer blood rice to make porridge. This way, you won't waste the deer blood."
When his wife told him about this idea, he thought it was impossible. They were out for reconnaissance and patrol, not for fun. Who would carry rice with them?
Then, he was slapped in the face.
Someone weakly raised his hand, "Sixth Master, I brought some, about three or four pounds, right?"
Before Qin Sheng could say anything, the brothers next to him looked at him strangely.
"I can understand if you brought some bread and dry food, but why did you bring a few kilograms of rice? You can't eat it raw."
"You care about me, doesn't this come in handy?"
"Okay, you're awesome."
The brothers were busy and laughing. Soon, all the deer blood was drained without wasting a drop.
"Sixth Master, let me leave this deer antler to you?" Hu Guangcong whispered slyly.
"Get lost!" Everyone knows that this stuff is very nutritious, but he doesn't need it!
Qin Sheng looked at Lu Songli embarrassedly.
Lu Songli naturally heard it as well, but she suppressed the urge to tease her big baby. If she teased him in front of so many people, she was afraid that he would get angry.
"Go back!"
Not long after Lu Songli, Qin Sheng and others returned, Qin Heng and Qin Zhao also came back with their people.
Previously, Lu Songli speculated that Xue Xu might run away. After their analysis, they circled out three routes, all of which Xue Xu might take, to wait and see.
The two men, having found nothing, had just returned when they learned that Xue Xu had indeed fled to his sixth brother and his wife, and had been successfully captured. Initially, the sixth brother's wife suggested that he was most likely to take that route, and that they should focus on guarding against it. They were skeptical, primarily because they thought the three possible routes down the mountain were equally likely, and she had unexpectedly proven correct.
In addition, I heard that they also hunted a deer.
Recently, Qin Zhao has become numb to Qin Sheng's good luck. Whenever he goes out, it's like going to his mother-in-law's house. There are always things handed to him and put into his arms, and he can't refuse them.
Later, they roasted venison and ate it, with Xue Xu and Chen Chang'an among them.
After eating and drinking, Lu Songli spoke, "Mr. Xue, can you do me a favor?" Time is urgent. Tomorrow morning, the people in Qinglong Village will find that Xue Xu is missing. If they want to attack Qinglong Village, they must do it quickly.
"What help?" Xue Xu paused while drinking water.
"You should have guessed it. We want to completely eradicate Qinglong Village, so we want to ask you for some information. It would be even better if we can get your help."
As for what he wanted to find out, of course it was the internal secrets of Qinglong Village.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell you some false information?"
Lu Songli smiled and thought, if you are not afraid of death, you can give it a try.
But she said, "You don't have to, do you? Qinglong Village is a mountain stronghold. Before you, it committed many evil things. Even when you were there, it wasn't much better. Besides, you have decided to leave Qinglong Village, so there must be something wrong with it."
Lu Songli felt that there was no need for him to hide anything from a person he had abandoned, right?
"Besides, I think Mr. Xue cherishes himself very much. He is smart and he shouldn't joke about his own safety."
Everyone: She really knows how to talk. What's the point of cherishing yourself? This Xue Xu is clearly afraid of death. Learned it.
But Xue Xu felt relieved after hearing this, so he immediately relented. "Okay, since you want to know, I'll tell you. It's just a thank you for the meal."
