"Yes, Miss!"
When the two men saw Miss Lianyi behind them, they stopped walking, but their eyes were still looking at the camp opposite.
At this time, the guards on Lianyi's side all came out after hearing the noise, including Wen Lu and her daughter, because the screams from the opposite side were too miserable.
Countless small white snakes emerged from the waterfall, swam into the camp opposite and bit anyone they saw. Some even went through the nostrils and mouths and entered the bodies of the escorts. These people immediately fell to the ground and began to waile.
The One-Eye Man was not fast asleep because he was preparing to bring people to the waterfall to do bad things. He was holding the knife in his hand, waving it left and right, and cutting down all the snakes that were rushing towards him.
But there were too many white snakes. Seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately turned around and dived into the bamboo forest, running away without paying any attention to the other escorts in the agency.
When the surviving escorts saw that the leader had run away, they also abandoned the goods they were guarding and fled after the one-eyed man. Behind them was a group of white snakes chasing them, which made people's scalps tingle.
The Wu family guards who witnessed all this held their swords vigilantly, fearing that these little white snakes would turn around and attack them again.
Liang Chen was comforting Xiao Hui in his arms. He now finally understood why Xiao Hui started to warn him as soon as he arrived here. It turned out that it was because Xiao Hui's natural enemy appeared.
Only after everyone in the opposite camp died did the snakes swim back into the water.
"Miss, why didn't they attack us?"
Liang Chen asked in a low voice.
The two families are only separated by a waterfall. There is no reason to attack the group of bodyguards instead of them.
"Xiao Hui warned you, so I set up a formation around the camp."
Lian Yi said calmly.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
"Pack your things and set off immediately. There is only one hour left until dawn. Let's go to the next city to help them report to the authorities and tell everyone not to touch the things on the other side."
"yes!"
Everyone agreed.
Even if the young lady didn't tell them to, they didn't want to stay here. After seeing the white snakes swarming like crucian carp swimming across the river, they felt a little scared. Although they were protected by the young lady's formation, they still felt it was safer to leave.
In less than half an hour, everyone had packed up and set off under the moonlight. Wen Lu stayed behind to remove all traces of their camping.
Lianyi waved his hand for the last time, took back the spiritual essence of his formation, swept away the tail, and headed straight for the next city.
The group did not stop at all during the journey and finally arrived at Huafeng City at noon that day.
After paying the entrance fee, Liang Chen immediately stepped forward and asked the gatekeeper:
"Commander, we came to Huafeng City from Shuangqi Town and encountered a murder on the way. Where should we report it to the authorities?"
"Murder? Where? How many people?"
The soldier guarding the gate was still very responsible and asked immediately.
"It was next to a waterfall bamboo forest four hours away from Huafeng City. We were exhausted and planned to camp there for one night and continue our journey after dawn. But we found a lot of dead people on the ground next to the bamboo forest, and there were also several carts with boxes piled on them. It looked like a escort team to me.
Then I reported it to my master, who was terrified at the time, fearing that there were still bad guys around, so he sent us on our way overnight. Only when we got here did we feel relieved, and he sent me to report it to the authorities."
Chu Liangchen was very eloquent and immediately explained the whole cause and effect.
When the soldiers saw the team of less than twenty people, they understood why they had to travel overnight, so they asked a soldier to take Liang Chen to the government office to report the case.
Lianyi and the others booked a small inn to rest and wait for news from Liang Chen.
After Minmin washed up and changed her clothes, she came to replace Luo Ying and Luo Huai. She specifically asked:
"Miss, why do you want to report to the police?"
"That escort leader has seen you and your daughter. What if he falsely accuses us of intercepting their escort?"
"But we've been away for so long, does he dare to go back?"
"If the escort leader survived, he would not dare to return in the middle of the night, but he would definitely go back to deal with the aftermath during the day. I asked Liang Chen to tell the yamen runners that the incident happened before we camped outdoors. If they rush over now, they will just meet a living escort."
Lian Yi has calculated the time.
"Minmin knows. Miss is very thoughtful."
Things turned out to be very close to what Lianyi had guessed. One-Eye led the two bodyguards to avoid the White Snake's pursuit and hid themselves. They did not return to the camp until noon when the sun was at its hottest.
When they got there, they found that all the escorts who had traveled with them were dead, most of them died of poisoning, and the corpses' stomachs were basically hollowed out. They didn't dare to get close, but the goods they were escorting were still there.
The one-eyed man became greedy. He discussed with his two deputies and decided to hide the goods. When the time comes, they would say that they had encountered an ambush. They had already thought of someone to take the blame and would put the blame on the mother and daughter of the Wen family.
The owner who hired the mother and daughter would definitely not use these two troublemakers again. Besides, he took a look at the owner and saw that she was a young lady. As long as they went to make trouble a few more times, they might get unexpected gains.
The one-eyed man's plan was supported by his two subordinates, who immediately took action. However, before they could find the frightened horse, a group of yamen runners arrived.
The One-Eye's plan failed, and he was cursing the nosy person in his heart. Suddenly, a white python as thick as a bucket hung down from the top of the waterfall, and swallowed the One-Eye into its stomach in one bite when everyone was off guard.
"ah!!!"
The two one-eyed henchmen were so frightened that they wet their pants and crawled towards the yamen runners. The yamen runners were so frightened that their souls almost left their bodies. They didn't expect that they were forced to watch the bloody scene of a giant python swallowing a person just because they were watching a murder scene.
"Bold monster, take my sword!"
Wuyou leaped up at this moment, swung his peach wood sword, and chopped it on the white python's head, but unfortunately the effect was average. The white python shook its head, spit out its scarlet snake core, flicked its tail and fell directly into the waterfall, then swung its tail and swept Wuyou away.
When Feng Yu saw that his master was defeated, he immediately shouted at those people:
"Run! My master can't hold on for much longer!"
Then Feng Yu rummaged through his backpack and found a bag of realgar powder wrapped in brown paper. He saw the opportunity and threw it directly to his master:
"Master, this is realgar powder!"
Wuyou had already turned over and stood up. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain to catch the realgar powder. He put the peach wood sword back behind his back, leaped a few times, leaped to the top of the bamboo, and then pinched his fingers to scatter the entire bag of realgar powder.
The white python was covered with realgar powder blown by the wind. It twisted its body uncomfortably, then retreated directly into the waterfall, curling its body, as if trying to use the water of the waterfall to wash off the realgar powder on its body.
Wuyou immediately jumped down, pulled Fengyu and ran away, leaving the white python's territory as quickly as possible.
The next day, after the gates of Huafeng City were opened, Wuyou and Fengyu stood in front of the inn where Lianyi and the others rented.
See you tomorrow, my dears~
