Chapter 386 He Recognized the Hand Hanging in the Air
Out of instinctive vigilance, the moment Xu Yu saw someone, he found a crooked tree closest to him and jumped on it.
The torrential rain that made it impossible for people to open their eyes became the most natural barrier to block vision.
Xu Yu held his breath and hid the hem of his clothes that might reveal traces, staring intently at the direction where the sound was gradually approaching, without saying a word.
At this moment, the furious robber was furious: "I told you to hurry up, are you guys stuck in a rat's tail that you can't drag it anymore?!"
"If we get caught up and lose the fat meat that's about to be eaten, the village chief will skin you all alive when we get back!"
"This...this isn't all our fault..."
Someone scrambled to catch up, grunting, "Who could have imagined that the tail would be so close to us so quickly? Besides, didn't we blow up another entrance to the passage?"
"Brother Hu, don't worry. If the explosion blocks the way over there, we won't be able to get through. We..."
"idiot!"
The man called Brother Tiger slapped him in the face and said angrily, "The tail can't stick to it, but we can't get through either!"
"Do you think this is a good thing?!"
They could have taken advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and passages to get ahead, kidnap Sang Zhixia, and quickly disappear into the secret passage with no exit.
However, due to the procrastination and carelessness of his subordinates, his whereabouts were exposed, and he was chased all over the mountain like a rat by the people behind him.
This is a dangerous mountain where the second flash flood has just stopped!
If anyone is accidentally punished by God, no one here today will be able to leave alive!
The person who spoke first was too guilty to say anything more. A clever one gasped and said, "Why else would you say Brother Tiger was the leader? Your cleverness is truly unmatched by ordinary people!"
"If you hadn't guessed that the traitor Meng Pei would lead his men into the cave and led us into the secret passage to hide and ambush us, the duck that was about to be eaten would have flown away long ago!"
After they got the news, they were driven out of Ancheng and disguised as civilians who came to help for wages and mixed into the team.
They took advantage of the chaos and went up the mountain before the second flash flood broke out.
It must be that they were lucky. They were not hurt at all when the mountain torrent broke out again. They were hiding in the secret passage until today, and were caught off guard.
Although there were some unexpected events when retreating with the fat sheep, the whole plan can be said to be the pinnacle of fishing in troubled waters, and the task was accomplished without much effort!
The man called Brother Tiger was still furious, but he couldn't help but feel a bit proud when he heard this: "Of course, do you think anyone can be the popular figure in front of the village chief?"
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but slap the unconscious Meng Pei in the face, spat, and said, "I knew this traitor was a disaster that must not be kept alive. Didn't I just predict it right this time?"
"Hurry up and go around this way. Let's go back through another secret passage!"
"When we return to Huwei Mountain, the village chief will see that our brothers have done a good job and there will be many benefits for them!"
The group of people, cursing and shouting, walked past quickly, and no one noticed that there was a very soft and suppressed breathing hidden in the tree.
Xu Yu did not know Meng Pei.
But he recognized the hand hanging in the air.
The twisted gold wire ring on her finger was made by Sang Zhixia herself.
Sang Zhixia made two in total, and the other one, which is slightly larger, is now in Xu Yu's hands.
This thing will never appear on other people.
Something happened to Sang Zhixia.
Bean-sized raindrops fell madly, blurring people's vision and covering up any sounds that might be heard.
Xu Yu suppressed his anger and followed quietly. When the opportunity arose, he jumped up and strangled the man who had fallen behind, then gently dragged him into the grass that was half a person's height.
After a while, the rain got heavier.
Brother Hu called over a few of the little guys to help him pull away the weeds covering the cave entrance, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Hurry up!"
"Luo Laosan, you guys, stop dawdling! Hurry up and carry the fat sheep and catch up! If you get caught, no one will care about your life or death!"
The person running in the front slid into the cave like a loach, and the people who were left behind also responded repeatedly: "Coming, coming!"
"Don't worry, Brother Hu, we'll be there soon!"
In the noisy chaos, no one noticed that a tall man with his head down and his face covered in mud had replaced the team.
Xu Yu deliberately delayed a bit and fell behind. He saw a man as thin as a monkey, cursing as he tried to carry a person with a huge black bag covering his head and face. He said in a muffled voice, "Let me do it?"
In the narrow passage where you can't even straighten your back, it's difficult to walk a little further. Carrying an unconscious person and trying to keep up with the main group is a really strenuous job.
Although the man didn't recognize Xu Yu at first, he subconsciously thought that there would be no outsiders in this team, and he opened his hand in surprise: "Great!"
"Then you carry the person in the middle, and we brothers will cover your back!"
Xu Yu walked over without saying a word, and when he bent down as if to carry someone on his back, he calmly turned over the wrist that was exposed from the bag.
A small black mole on the wrist is clearly visible, and the pulse is light but steady.
The heart that had been stuck in Xu Yu's throat suddenly dropped to his stomach. Before he could do anything else, he was slapped hard on the back: "Turtle, don't let your imagination run wild!"
"This woman looks like a fairy, but this tender piece of meat has already been served to the village chief! Being foolish could be fatal!"
At first, the leader of Huwei Mountain Stronghold was indeed attracted by the large sum of money that Sang Zhixia spent when buying the land, but after he went to Ancheng in person and happened to see Sang Zhixia's face clearly, he was no longer just greedy for the money.
The person who spoke touched his chin and took a breath. "After all, it's fresh food from abroad. Just looking at it makes my mouth water."
"But not everyone has such good fortune!"
Bandits are divided into different levels, and there are also high and low levels in Huwei Mountain.
The good and expensive things are always taken by those in power. The leader eats the meat, while the lackeys below can only hope to have a few sips of soup that is not too hot.
Xu Yu turned his back to the man who was talking on the phone and said nothing. The man didn't care and just slurred his saliva: "But if this woman doesn't know what's good for her, we still have a chance to get a bite."
"When the village chief and his men get tired of playing with him, they might just give him to the brothers one day. By then, I'm afraid he'll be dying on this piece of tender meat. Aren't we the ones who decide how to play with him?"
"By the way, you..."
"Luo Lao San!"
"Why!"
An angry roar from the cave interrupted Luo Laosan's chatter. Before he could answer, Xu Yu had already bent down, picked up the unconscious Sang Zhixia and walked ahead.
Luo Laosan looked at Xu Yu's back with some suspicion: "Why does this person look unfamiliar to me? But..."
"What are you still dawdling about?!"
Luo Laosan's face was filled with panic as he quickly ran inside: "Here I come!"
"Don't worry, Brother Tiger, we're catching up now!"
The light in the dark passage was dim, and it was difficult to make out the facial features even if you got close to the face.
Wuhen breathed a sigh of relief after Xu Yu carried Sang Zhixia in. He quietly followed the team through the secret passage where you couldn't see your hand in front of you. All he could hear was the dirty words constantly ringing out in the secret passage.
Upon learning that these people were heading towards Ancheng, Xu Yu's eyes, hidden in the darkness, flashed silently.
Is it possible that the place where the bandit leader is waiting is Ancheng?
