Chapter 501: The County Magistrate Arrives
A Lei brought Fu Bao to the big tree in front of the tiger cave and saw Wan Lao Er still sitting on the tree with Hei Tuan in his arms, but there was no trace of the tiger under the tree.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Are's voice came from above Wan Laoer's head.
When Wan Laoer heard this voice, he cried for joy. As much as he was afraid of this voice an hour ago, he liked it as much now.
“Daddy——!”
As soon as Wan Laoer stood up, he heard a shout that was filled with surprise and a bit of grievance.
This voice has always been the voice he longed to hear.
Before he could stand firmly, he looked up.
"Fubao!" Wan Laoer, the grown man, was so excited that he started crying.
Fubao was held in A Lei's arms, and he stretched out his arms and pounced on Wan Laoer.
But this was a big tree, and Wan Laoer couldn't stand steadily and almost fell down. Fortunately, Arei pulled him and he was able to steady himself. There was a layer of snow on the tree, and now the snow had stopped and started to freeze, making it impossible to stand on the tree. Wan Laoer had been lying on the tree holding onto a branch and waiting until now.
If A Lei doesn't come, he will be frozen into an icicle.
"This is not the place to talk. We must get down the mountain quickly."
Arei finished speaking hastily, without saying hello, and threw a snowball into the cave. Then he grabbed Wan Laoer's collar and performed a trapeze act again.
Wan Lao Er:......
There were crystal tears on Fubao's little face. He looked down at his father from time to time and saw that Wan Laoer was also suffering.
He was carried by Arei and walked through the woods. He was hit and scratched by branches from time to time, and some small wounds appeared on his hands and face.
But Wan Laoer said nothing. He looked up at Fubao with joy in his eyes. These little pains were nothing to him.
Wan Laoer was still holding Hei Tuan in his arms. Hei Tuan was very obedient at this time and didn't move around. He was also afraid of falling, but no one would go down to save him.
As soon as the few people left the big tree, the tiger rushed out of the cave.
He was sleeping, but was always disturbed. He was on the verge of becoming furious and had to find someone to vent his anger on.
Just at this time Xiao Qianchou came to the cave again.
The tiger let out a startling roar and pounced towards Xiao Qianchou.
Because Xiao Qianchou was wearing white clothes, he was quite conspicuous in the dark night, and with the reflection of the snow, the tiger could hit him accurately with every pounce.
Xiao Qianchou didn't expect to be pounced on by the tiger as soon as he landed.
He didn't have time to dodge, so he skillfully scattered a handful of powder.
The tiger had already knocked him to the ground. Xiao Qianchou could even smell the stench from the tiger's mouth, but he had no way to avoid it at this time.
Seeing the tiger opening its bloody mouth and about to bite his neck, it suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.
Xiao Qianchou flew into the air from the ground and slapped the parts of his body that were stained by the tiger in disgust, but two tiger paw prints were still left on his snow-white clothes.
Xiao Qianchou was determined to take revenge, so he used a handful of medicine powder to turn the tiger's body into a pool of blood, and then went down the mountain without hesitation.
Arei led two people down the mountain using Qinggong. As soon as they reached halfway up the mountain, Fubao issued a warning.
"Uncle, change direction quickly, someone is coming."
Even Heituan started barking anxiously.
Arei knew that the princess had special powers, so he didn't ask anything and decisively turned towards the county town.
The county town is located between two mountains. It may be a bit risky to go down from the mountain to the county town, but you can take a shortcut.
Xiao Qianchou chased them all the way, looking for any traces they left behind, but at this moment, snowflakes began to fall from the sky again.
The heavy snow began to fall again, soon covering up all traces of Fubao and the others.
Xiao Qianchou lost the direction of pursuit, and at the same time, the age spots on his hands were fully visible. The entire right hand was like a piece of dry bark, and one could clearly see something surging under his dry skin, as if it wanted to break out of the skin.
The piercing pain made Xiao Qianchou fall directly from mid-air.
He half-knelt on the ground, held the wrist of his right hand with his left hand, and used his internal force to temporarily seal those things.
A fine layer of sweat had begun to appear on his forehead.
He immediately sat down and regulated his breathing for a cup of tea before chasing in the direction of the county town.
He concluded that those people must have gone to the county town, and he had to find his prey immediately, as he was very picky.
In fact, he has other choices besides this little girl, but once he makes the wrong choice, he will have to live for another ten years with an imperfect skin. He can't get over it in his heart. Perverts always have their own persistence.
Xiao Qianchou returned to the scene where he killed those soldiers and found that their armor was gone, and the holes on the ground were covered by new fallen snow, as if nothing had happened here.
Xiao Qianchou came to the city gate and saw that the gate was closed. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, wondering if those people didn't enter the city? How did they get in when the gate was closed?
In fact, not only were the city gates closed at this time, but there were also many soldiers lying in ambush on the city walls.
An hour ago, they saw the soldiers under the command of the General of the Central Army go out of the city to chase someone, but they did not return, so they sent people to look for them. However, they saw their armor on the ground, all fifty pieces, with blood on them, which meant that they had been killed and their bodies were not found.
In addition, the soldier who went to verify the imperial edict alarmed the county magistrate, who then learned that something had happened in the county town, and he hurried over in a sedan chair.
At this time, the county magistrate was sitting in the city gate tower himself. He was still considering how to explain to the General of the Central Army. After all, these fifty people had an accident on his territory, and it was very strange.
The county magistrate was not a man of the underworld, and had never heard of the name Xiao Qianchou, so he did not know that there was a medicine in the underworld called bone-eroding powder.
He just felt that the deaths of these people were very strange. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out why there were only armors but no bodies. However, judging from the bloodstains left on the armor, these people were definitely dead.
"It's so weird, I've never heard of it before?"
The county magistrate, with his hands behind his back, walked around the pile of armor on the ground again and again, puzzled.
"Sir, there is a man outside the city gate. He looks familiar, but I can't see his face clearly."
When the county magistrate was studying the armor, a soldier came to report.
The county magistrate quickly wrapped his cloak tightly and went to the top of the city wall.
"Look, sir, that's the man."
The soldier pointed at Xiao Qianchou, who was standing outside the city gate in white clothes, through the gap between the stone piles and whispered.
The county magistrate squinted his eyes and looked carefully, but could only see a figure standing below. In order not to alert the enemy, he deliberately ordered the soldiers guarding the city not to light torches, which put him in a difficult position.
