Tian Cai calculated the time in her mind. After about ten minutes, a familiar man walked into her sight.
She had seen this short man with a flat head on the top of the cliff. To be exact, the original owner had seen him. When he came closer and there was no one else following him, Tian Cai aimed the slingshot directly at his head, pulled the trigger—and released it.
"Boom"
The man fell down without a sound.
After waiting for a while and making sure there was no movement, Tian Cai put the slingshot on his back and walked over with a dagger.
When I got closer, I saw that there was a big hole on the man's head, bleeding profusely, and he was no longer breathing.
Tian Cai carefully observed the wound, then looked down at his hand. The strength seemed a little wrong.
In her expectation, hitting the stone with the force just now would at most cause skull damage to the man, but would definitely not kill him. However, the current situation is that the man is dead!
Even if the rubber band used to tie the hair was real cow tendon that Cai Ping exchanged from the village, it would still be wrong.
Before Tian Cai had time to think about it, he heard voices coming from a distance and two other people were coming over.
She quickly tiptoed back to her previous position and hid herself. After a while, she saw the other two people.
Not to mention that they had previously pulled knives on the master and disciple, just listening to their conversation just now, these three people were not good people. They had committed rape, looting, and even murder. There was no need for her to show mercy.
In the previous life, I don’t know how many criminals I subdued, but every year I had to kill a few of those who resisted.
However, it was so easy to kill the first one because the opponent was caught off guard. It might not be so easy to kill the remaining two.
The tall and strong man in the lead had a very obvious scar on his left cheek. He was the one who stabbed the original owner. Judging from the way the man in blue was trying to push away the branches, this scarred man should be the Brother Liang they were talking about. I'm afraid only he knows what I want to ask.
But all she wanted was to ask him some questions, as long as he could speak. Tian Cai aimed the slingshot directly at Scarface's thigh.
"Swoosh—Pah"
"Ah!" Scarface felt a sharp pain in his leg and fell to the side uncontrollably.
When he fell to the ground, he happened to see the body of a man with a flat head in the grass, and was shocked at the moment.
"Brother Liang!" The man in blue hurriedly reached out to help, but his eyes looked panickedly in the direction where the hidden weapon had just come from, fearing that another shot would knock him down.
"...hiss," Scarface pressed his leg with one hand, sweat dripping down his forehead from the pain, "Damn, there's an ambush."
The man in blue dodged backwards without leaving a trace, pretending to support Scarface's body to shield himself.
"Are you fucking stupid?" He pushed the blue-shirted man's hand away. "If you help me up now, I'll be a sitting duck. Why don't you just lie down and wait for death?"
As he said this, Tian Cai's next stone had already been shot over. This time she used less force and successfully hit the upper body of the man in blue who had just been exposed because of Scarface's struggle.
Scarface saw that his only remaining companion had also fallen, and he became even more panicked. He pulled out the knife from his waist, crawled on the ground, and bluffed, "Who? Who is it? Come out here right now!"
Tian Cai slowly walked out from the bushes, stopped two or three meters away from him, and looked down at him.
Scarface was stunned when he saw her, "It's you!"
Tian Cai didn't want to waste time talking and asked directly, "Why are you chasing us?"
Scarface's mind raced. Now that his thigh was injured, the situation was clearly not favorable for him. "I, I can tell you, but you have to let me go."
Tian Cai glanced at the wound on his thigh and sneered, "Okay."
Scarface still felt uneasy, deep in the mountains and old forests. What if he told the story and was silenced? Moreover, the woman in front of him gave him a very different feeling from before. She looked very dangerous now. "You have to send me to the village at the foot of the mountain before I can tell you." As he spoke, he secretly tightened the dagger in his hand.
"You won't tell me?" Tian Cai raised an eyebrow, walked over, stepped on the man's wrist holding the dagger, and crushed it hard, "Then there's no need to tell me."
“Ugh—” The veins on Scarface’s forehead suddenly bulged, and sweat oozed out densely. After a while, it condensed into beads the size of soybeans, sliding down his temples and cheeks. His face, which was originally pale due to blood loss, turned visibly red. “Auntie! Auntie, spare me, spare me! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you now!”
Tian Cai slightly reduced the force of his footsteps. After all, he had a leg injury and it would hurt if he kept exerting force. "I'll give you one chance. Think it over before you speak."
Scarface then told the story of how he got the job, what the other party looked like, and how much money he was paid.
Tian Cai listened thoughtfully. According to what he said, the people who have been looking for Cai Ping over the years have spent a lot of money. In this era when it is difficult to even have enough to eat, anyone who can still pay a large sum of money to look for someone must be an extraordinary person.
Scarface didn't know the other party's contact information, but every month a middle-aged man came to him to ask if there was any news about Cai Ping. Tian Cai asked the other party's name and appearance.
"I don't know his name either. He told us to call him Brother Quan. He said that after we find this woman, we can just kill her, but we have to take everything she has with us, including the books she kept with her." Scarface wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, glanced at Tian Cai's expression, and carefully recalled the details of their several encounters. "He was probably in his forties, always wore a Mao suit, and had his hair slicked back. He looked, just, just like an ordinary man."
