The barbarian received a portion of food, then waved to the guards on both sides and said, "You all, come and eat."
Upon hearing this, Wang Miaomiao looked at the barbarian twice. Seeing that the barbarians who were originally guarding the side came over to get their food after he finished speaking, she guessed that he was the leader of the barbarian guards in the cave.
"Hurry up! Give me more."
"Give me an extra cake."
"Give me another bowl of soup."
A group of guards chattered in unison, received their meals and sat on the ground to eat in groups of three or five.
The tall and strong barbarian who Wang Miaomiao guessed was the leader of these people said, "You guys go in and give some food to the people inside."
in?!
Hearing this, Wang Miaomiao's half-closed eyes flashed with thought. Besides these barbarians, are there other people among them?!
She didn't think about it any further.
Inside the cave, there was a slight gap in the time it took for these barbarians to eat a few bites of their food. When a few of the first ones to eat fell to the ground and fainted, the other barbarian guards who were a step slower had not yet eaten. Seeing this, the rest of the people realized that something was wrong.
"What's going on? There's something wrong with the food!!" several barbarian guards spoke up.
"Get started." Taoist Jingyi reminded at this time.
Before he finished speaking, he drew out his whisk and hit the barbarian leader next to him.
Wang Miaomiao did not delay in pulling out a long knife from the wooden barrel and attacked several barbarian guards on the other side. They were outnumbered. Fortunately, these barbarians had eaten a few mouthfuls of food and were exhausted.
After a burst of fighting, the ground was covered with blood and the two men stopped fighting.
Wang Miaomiao's long knife was dripping with blood. She used her inner strength to shake off the blood on the knife, then she put it away. She looked around at the situation on the ground and said, "Master, let's go in and take a look."
Taoist Jing had already taken off his bloodstained grey outer garment, now dressed like a Taoist priest with an immortal demeanor. Upon hearing this, he said, "Well, let's go in and take a look."
The few gray-clothed civilians who came in with the two men to deliver food looked at the many lifeless corpses on the ground with some fear on their faces, and followed the two men in.
As soon as Wang Miaomiao entered and saw the situation inside, surprise flashed in her eyes. It turned out to be a hollow weapons field. Dozens of people were hammering and tempering weapons, each doing their own job. Semi-finished weapons were placed aside.
She looked at the scene inside, and all her previous doubts were answered.
No wonder there are so many guards here!
No wonder the barbarians in the mountains came down specifically to abduct so many people!
Secretly manufacturing large quantities of weapons is an act of treason that cannot be tolerated by those in power. These bandits in the Black Wind Village do this just to cover up their tracks.
They knew that several villages had been robbed, and the officials would neither care nor intervene. As long as they did not reveal their true purpose and steer clear of the government's threat, they could do whatever they wanted as long as they had someone on the mountain.
"I see!"
Taoist Master Jingyi looked at the situation in front of him, sighed, and his face was solemn.
Hearing this, Wang Miaomiao stopped thinking and said, "Master Jingyi, how do you think we should deal with this matter? If we're not careful, we'll get into trouble."
This matter is difficult to handle, mainly because it is impossible for a group of barbarians in the mountains to cast weapons privately on a whim. There must be a buyer behind it, or this group of people must have a master.
There is a hidden chain of interests behind this matter. The two people ruined other people's business, and there are so many people on the mountain who will come down. It is hard to say how the news of the two people will be leaked, and then one day they may be found by others.
Wang Miaomiao herself has no problem, but her parents and elder brother are ordinary people and cannot stand the possibility of being remembered by others.
Taoist Master Jingyi naturally knew what she was worried about when he heard this. He put on a rare serious expression and said in a deep voice, "Young friend, since you are here on my behalf, there is no need to worry about this matter. I will handle the rest."
"Just pretend you've never been here. Go to the back hall and get the payment we agreed on, then go down the mountain."
Hearing this, Wang Miaomiao was a little surprised. She bowed and said, "Master, this matter is quite serious. I am not the type to run away when faced with a problem. If there is anything I can help with, please feel free to tell me."
"Hey!" Taoist Master Jingyi waved his hands upon hearing this and explained, "Young friend, you've misunderstood. I'll hand this matter over to the government officials. Don't worry about it, just go down the mountain."
Wang Miaomiao had listened to what she had said up to this point, and she also realized that she might have misunderstood. She bowed and said, "Master, if that's the case, let's say goodbye now."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Wang Miaomiao went back to the back hall and searched the room, where she found some banknotes, gold and silver jewelry. She put them in a wooden box, and then put the box back into the storage compartment.
The ten portable storage compartments I bought with 10,000 points are now completely full.
She originally wanted to put the long sword in her hand, which was still usable, into the storage compartment, but now that it was full, she could only find a way to free up a compartment before putting the sword in.
Among the ten storage grids, the two books obtained from the system take up two grids each, the detoxification pill takes up one grid, the first aid supplies water and biscuits take up two grids, the dagger takes up one grid, the anti-poison pendant takes up one grid, the space spring water from the heroine in the apocalypse world takes up one grid, the found-thing talisman that was used once takes up one grid, and the wooden box just now takes up one grid.
Wang Miaomiao thought about it and took out the anti-poison pendant she had bought before and put it on her body, leaving a space for the long sword.
She put her things away without any further delay, and using her lightness skills she was out of the Black Wind Village in a moment. Then she found the place where the two of them had stopped their horses when they went up the mountain, jumped on their horses and returned to Dashi Village.
