Behind the horses was a prisoner cart with many people tied up randomly and unconscious. It was unclear whether they were knocked unconscious or injured. It was so quiet that there was no sound at all.
She walked over and used the long knife in her hand to cut the chain wrapped around it, opened the door and looked inside. When she saw the familiar figure in the corner of the prison van, she felt relieved.
Fortunately, I found it!
…
Old Man Wang slowly opened his eyes.
The lights in the room flickered. He looked at the familiar furnishings in front of him and felt a headache as if he had been hit.
Where is this?!
He remembered that he had presented the waterwheel blueprints to the county magistrate, and received praise from him. Then... when he returned to the village, he missed the time and there was no car. He and Wang Yong walked to the village, and then...
He ran into a barbarian and was knocked unconscious...
When Old Man Wang thought of this, his heart suddenly jumped and he sat up from the bed.
CRACK——
Just at this moment, Li pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing Father Wang sitting up, she put down the basin of water in her hand and asked with concern, "Master, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"
When Old Man Wang saw his wife's familiar face, he covered his head in shock and muttered, "Mother, am I home? I remember... I think I was knocked unconscious by the barbarians."
"It's all right, it's all right, mistress." Mrs. Li said excitedly, crying and laughing at the same time, "You've been rescued, rescued by my daughter, and that barbarian has been kidnapped."
Old Man Wang covered his aching head and digested the information in these words.
After a while, he said, "Miaomiao saved me? Where is she now?"
"She's chatting with someone in the yard, you..."
Before Li could finish her words, she saw Old Man Wang getting out of bed and heading out. She quickly reached out to support him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Slow down!"
The sound of two people talking and footsteps was obvious.
In the small courtyard, Wang Miaomiao heard the voice and turned around, only to see Old Man Wang walking out with a weak face. She stopped what she was about to say, stood up and helped Old Man Wang sit on the wooden bench.
"Dad, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell?" she asked.
Old Man Wang shook his head and said anxiously: "Miaomiao, I'm fine. Have you found Dayong? He was with me and was probably kidnapped by the barbarians."
Wang Miaomiao: "Dad, don't worry. Brother Dayong has been injured and hasn't woken up yet. He's also lying in his room with medicine on. But the injury is not serious and he will be fine in two days."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Wang felt relieved and nodded: "That's good, that's good."
Li said, "You are in such a hurry that you don't even care about your own health. If you have anything to ask, just ask me directly. You are making the Taoist priest laugh at you by running out here."
Old Man Wang glanced to the side and noticed a man dressed as a Taoist priest sitting in his yard, looking at him with a smile. He thought of what his wife had just said.
He bowed politely and said, "I haven't thanked the Taoist priest for saving my life yet."
The Taoist priest smiled upon seeing this and said, "I just happened to run into you when I took action. No need to thank me."
Wang Miaomiao then began to persuade him, "Dad, you just woke up, so go back and lie down and rest. I'll take care of everything else."
Old Man Wang glanced at his daughter with concern and nodded. He then bowed and thanked the Taoist priest, and was helped by his wife Li back to his room to lie down.
The moonlight is bright.
In the courtyard, Wang Miaomiao saw Old Man Wang returning and turned to the Taoist priest and asked, "Master, I haven't asked for your name yet."
"My Buddhist name is Jingyi." The Taoist priest shook the whisk in his hand and said.
She asked, "Master Jingyi, what are you going to do with that barbarian?"
Wang Miaomiao was talking about the barbarian leader who had been knocked unconscious before. She had originally planned to kill him directly, but was stopped by a Taoist priest and taken back to the Wang family. He was still tied up and unconscious in the woodshed in the yard.
Taoist Master Jingyi stroked his beard, looked at Wang Miaomiao with a smile and said, "My friend, are you interested in making another fortune?"
The word "again" was used very cleverly. She had previously made a considerable fortune by looting the bodies of those dead barbarians, but the Taoist priest didn't say anything at the time.
Now that it was mentioned, Wang Miaomiao realized that he was waiting for her here!
She raised her eyebrows, thinking of the bag of gold on her body, and said with a smile: "Master, I don't mind having too much silver, but I don't know if you want to..."
Taoist Master Jingyi smiled when he heard this.
A moment later.
After listening to him, Wang Miaomiao realized that this group of barbarians came from a bandit den called "Black Wind Village". They often kidnapped people and took them up the mountain to do hard labor to support their luxurious life.
And that place is very close to Qingshi Town.
Recently, this group of barbarians have been coming down the mountain to kidnap and rob people frequently. Many people from several nearby villages have been abducted to the mountain. Taoist Master Jingyi has been following this matter for some time and has roughly found out the location of the group of people.
But he was alone and couldn't act rashly.
Meeting her now, he would feel more confident if they went together.
After listening to this, Wang Miaomiao asked, "So, Taoist Priest, you kept the barbarian leader to find out what's going on in the bandit village?"
Taoist Jingyi nodded in confirmation of her question, and then said, "Leave that person to me. I will deal with it after I get something out of him."
Wang Miaomiao nodded and agreed after hearing this.
That night, when she was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing, she heard the shrill voice of the barbarian leader coming faintly from the woodshed, and the sound did not stop until the early morning.
The next day.
The morning light has not yet risen.
Two people walked out of the courtyard. They were the low-key-dressed Wang Miaomiao and Taoist Jing Yi.
The news of the bandit group being killed had not yet been reported back. Since the two of them were going to Black Wind Village, they had to take advantage of the time difference to avoid any accidents if they were late.
