Chapter 388 The couple entered the bandit’s lair together
After a day and a night of non-stop travel, the rolling wheels suddenly stopped.
"We're here, wake up and get off the bus!"
The driver in front pulled the reins, cracked the whip, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hurry up and don't dawdle!"
The people sleeping in the car were rubbing their eyes and cursing, "We have to dig a tunnel again! If someone doesn't know, they'd think we really grew out of the ground."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Hu Zi, who was also sleepy, slapped Luo Lao San on the back of the head and said unhappily, "If it weren't for these winding tunnels everywhere, would you still be alive?"
"What's there to not live with?"
Luo Laosan said nonchalantly, "The Governor and the village chief were drinking at the same table. When the brothers came back, the government officials opened a path for them. With the protection of the officials, even if we walked sideways, it would still be..."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll cut off your talkative tongue sooner or later!"
Hu Zi kicked Luo Lao San in anger and gritted his teeth, "Can you even say that out loud?"
"If you ruin the village chief's plan by talking too much, you won't even know how you died!"
"I……"
"Go help get the stuff!"
Luo Laosan went to help in a sullen manner, but Xu Yu had already mixed into the crowd with Sang Zhixia in his arms.
The place where they got off was not Huwei Mountain.
The villagers at the foot of the mountain had already received the news, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed out and surrounded the arriving convoy.
There were more and more swaying heads. Xu Yu, his face covered in mud, exhaled calmly and was forced to move forward in the crowd.
From the outside, this village looks like an ordinary village, with mostly the elderly, women, children, and young people. But once you go inside, you will find that these seemingly ordinary people are all relatives of the bandits.
Every household knows that the bandits are bandits.
The one who led the way out to greet them was a middle-aged woman. Upon learning that there was a woman among the fat sheep they had caught, she rushed forward, waving her handkerchief and saying, "Hey, let me take a look at this piece of goods. Is her face not stained?"
"I say, you rough guys just don't know how to handle things properly. If you ruin this good-looking leather, it won't fetch a good price anymore, don't you know?"
"you……"
"Hey, don't worry about it, Mrs. Wang."
Hu Zi waved his hand and said, "The village chief has taken a fancy to this woman and wants to keep her for himself. You don't need to sell her to others."
Mrs. Wang said with regret: "Then it would save me a lot of trouble."
"But first, let me make it clear, silver..."
"Get out of here."
Hu Zi said impatiently: "This time the goods were personally handled by the village chief and the military advisor. It's not your turn to interrupt!"
"Hurry up and clear the way ahead. We need to go up the mountain first."
Everyone knows the notoriety of Huwei Mountain, but few know that the real entrance to Huwei Mountain is hidden in this village.
Mrs. Wang walked ahead with a dissatisfied look on her face, muttering, "After all the hard work of going out, can't you bring back some more useful goods?"
"You're the only one wandering around here. You guys don't have to worry about food and drink when you're up in the mountains, but life down there is tough!"
Everyone was accustomed to her muttering and walked skillfully through the village and into Wang Po's house.
The weeds covering the well were taken away, revealing not the well water but a deep, bottomless tunnel.
Hu Zi waved at Xu Yu without even looking up: "You take the goods and go ahead!"
Without saying a word, Xu Yu carried Sang Zhixia down the tunnel first.
Mrs. Wang stared at Xu Yu's back and blinked suspiciously: "Who is this person?"
"Look at his figure, why doesn't he look like someone I've seen before?"
Luo Laosan was so angry that he laughed, baring his teeth and saying, "Of course you can't recognize me if I'm wearing clothes."
"If I take off my clothes and get in bed with you, you'll definitely remember it!"
"Hey, you bastard! You..."
"That's enough!"
Hu Zi interrupted the argument and said unhappily, "First, get up the mountain! Hurry up and get in!"
This tunnel leading out of the wellhead is a masterpiece that took more than a year to dig out by people on the mountain and below.
Entering from this entrance, there are stairs that wind upward continuously. After climbing up the last step, you will enter the interior of Huwei Mountain.
Hu Zi remembered what Advisor Hao had told him, and when he emerged from the tunnel, he said, "Take the goods to the dungeon and lock them up there. Have someone keep an eye on them!"
"The military advisor said that no one is allowed to touch a hair until the village chief returns. Anyone who breaks the rules will be dragged out and beaten to death!"
Those who came to support with evil thoughts sighed, and no one rushed to help Xu Yu hold the person anymore, and their interest suddenly disappeared.
You can only look at it but not touch it, so why bother?
The people who had been running around for days yawned and dispersed. The one leading the way to the dungeon kicked open the door and raised his chin, "We're here."
"Throw the man in, and you go and take a rest."
Xu Yu glanced at the water-filled dungeon and showed no intention of letting go. "Brother Hu said this man must not be hurt. He can't be imprisoned in water."
The man glared in dissatisfaction: "Since they've already come to the water dungeon, where else should we throw them if not into the water?"
"Brother Hu said that they were the ones to be thrown in."
Xu Yu glanced in Meng Pei's direction and said calmly, "We need to be wary of the traitor, the Second Chief, not some weak woman who can't even lift a finger."
"This woman is the village chief's goddess of wealth, she must not be hurt."
The man thought about it and felt that what he said was true. Without waiting for Xu Yu's help, he kicked the unconscious Meng Pei into the water. With a few clicks, iron chains were fastened around Meng Pei's wrists and ankles.
The water in the dungeon was not very deep, barely reaching half the height of an adult's waist.
Tying it like this not only ensures that people will not fall and drown, but also leaves them with nowhere to escape.
After the man tied up Meng Pei and the unlucky secret guard who was captured, he turned around and saw Xu Yu had already handcuffed Sang Zhixia's hands and feet at the edge of the water prison.
The same chain, but it was hooked on the ground, not in the water.
"Tsk, it's okay to hold it like this."
The man took a closer look, then stroked his chin and said, "Anyway, she's already in our Huwei Mountain territory. Even if she had wings, she wouldn't be able to fly out."
"Come on, go and have some rest. We'll be watching over here."
Just as Xu Yu was about to find a reason to refuse, his wrist moved slightly under his sleeve.
Xu Yu lowered his eyes, concealing the complex expression in his eyes, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Okay."
Those who have been repeatedly warned not to touch it are like hot yams. No matter how beautiful it looks, no one dares to risk their life to test it.
With no chance of taking advantage, the people in the dungeon dispersed one after another. The small space that had been noisy for a while gradually quieted down, and one could hear breathing.
The silence lasted for a long time. Sang Zhixia, who was trapped on the ground, opened his eyes calmly and found that only the unlucky trio who were tied up were left here, and the guards had disappeared long ago.
Sang Zhixia tentatively moved his wrist, pressed the key that Xu Yu had stuffed into his sleeve under his leg, fumbled to grab a small stone, and threw it at the secret guard hanging in the water.
The small stone hit the body and fell into the water. The person who was hit did not react at all, which showed that he was indeed unconscious.
Sang Zhixia took a deep breath and moved his sore neck, feeling a mixture of emotions.
Xu Yu was fine, he saw it himself.
But this...
The couple entered the bandit's den together. Was that another form of being wiped out?
