Liu Chengyu and the three guards stiffened, feeling that these words were a veiled attack on them. If they dared not cooperate, they would be shown no mercy, forced to take the drug powder, and rendered unconscious without regard for their life or death.
That was indeed a ruthless move. Although I felt uncomfortable, I didn't dare to really do something reckless. Oh well, a true man can bend and stretch, there's nothing he can't endure.
They were on high alert, with a watertight defense, but nothing happened, and everyone just waited there listlessly.
On the other side, things were quite relaxed. Song Tantan said, "Since there's a formation, there should also be a core to it. Isn't that how it's written in novels?"
"The problem is that none of us know how to do this. We'd probably run ourselves ragged and rack our brains but still not find the so-called array eye." Ye Moxun wasn't trying to discourage her, but this was just too unreliable. The terrain in the deep mountains was too complicated, and they would have to rely on the map left by the flower thief to get out.
I never dared to change my route on any of my trips, for fear of getting lost and not being able to find my way back to the village or out of the deep mountains. So how could I possibly dare to search for some kind of strategic point?
"I'll go to the supermarket later and see if there are any books about studying formations, then I'll get them for you to read." Song Tantan was always thinking of ways to keep him occupied.
"I won't look at it, and I have no interest in studying any formations. If you're really interested, you can learn it yourself. It would be best to copy down the contents of the book and then have an expert explain it to you, or find a few talented people to train you." In short, don't bother him. He is determined not to learn anything more. Do you really want to wear him out?
"What would I do with training this kind of talent?" Song Tantan glared at him angrily. This guy knew exactly what she meant, but he still said it on purpose.
What kind of talent is she cultivating? She just wants him to learn so that he can immediately solve the problem if he encounters this situation again.
Don't ask her why she doesn't learn it herself; isn't her brain not as sharp as his? He can remember it after seeing it once, but she might not be able to remember it even after seeing it ten times, let alone study it in depth.
She's only good at fighting.
Okay, she is indeed a bit useless, but she absolutely cannot expose her shortcomings. Hmph, just you wait and see. She will go find the book later, and if there is such a book, she will copy it down and then find someone to study it with.
Once she succeeds, she'll set up a formation to trap Ye Moxun until he cries and begs for mercy on his knees.
Ye Moxun suddenly shivered and subconsciously looked at Song Tantan. The latter's sinister gaze made him gasp. "Tsk, okay, okay, I'll see, I'll see, alright? Don't look at me like that, I'm scared."
"I don't need you, I can manage on my own." Song Tantan turned her head away and ignored him.
Ye Moxun: "..." He had already tried to coax her in a humble and gentle manner, but she was still not happy.
Zhong Qingyi waited and waited with her bow and arrow, but no opportunity came. She waited until noon the next day. Of course, she had stopped to eat and take a nap the night before.
My arms are getting sore from holding them up. When are those two inside the formation going to stop? Can they please stop running around like that? Aren't they tired after jumping around for so long?
The two younger ones next to them were still arguing loudly, completely oblivious to the volume of their voices. Ever since they discovered they couldn't hear the people inside the formation, they tried raising their voices to confirm that the people inside the formation couldn't hear the people outside either. The two younger ones then started bickering arrogantly, as if no one else was around.
The noise was making it hard for Zhong Qingyi to calm down. Even though it was already winter, the sun was particularly strong today. The spot where they were standing was directly under the sun, making it extremely uncomfortable. He was sweating profusely.
Xiao Song felt sorry for him and would wipe his sweat with a handkerchief from time to time, which is why he was able to persevere for so long.
"This place is really torturous. Everything else blocks the view, so we can't see what's going on inside the formation." Otherwise, why would the four of them be like idiots and choose to lie here instead of finding a shady spot under a tree to hide under?
Song Zhuiyan glanced at the two who were still arguing and said irritably, "You two shut up and be quiet. You're so noisy. Think about our feelings. If you keep chattering, I'll sew your mouths shut with a needle and thread."
Wow, that's so cruel! They even came up with such a vicious idea as sewing someone's mouth shut.
Song Tantan and Ye Moxun simultaneously made a zipping motion, then glanced at each other unintentionally before quickly looking away. They quietly stared into the formation for a moment, and soon their heads were close together again.
This time, Song Tantan spoke in a very low voice, so that only the two of them could hear her, "Just shoot a packet of poison powder in and kill them."
“My uncle refused.” He had mentioned this idea to his uncle, but the uncle disagreed.
"We've already wasted the whole morning, aren't we going to hurry on our way?" Song Tantan straightened his straw hat made of rattan, feeling quite annoyed. His future uncle-in-law was too honest.
What's the difference between being shot with an arrow and being poisoned? Can anyone tell her?
She wanted to find a place to cool off, but Ye Moxun said she was disloyal and unwilling to share the hardship. She disagreed and retorted, "We can't help by staying here. I can't think of any point besides getting heatstroke together."
“It’s very meaningful. My uncle wouldn’t be able to handle it alone. With the three of us here with him, he can keep going.” Although he didn’t elaborate, Song Tantan understood.
That makes perfect sense. When you're in a lot of pain, having family members by your side, even if they don't do anything, can give you more strength to keep going.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." Four shots were fired in quick succession, and the two people in the formation were finally hit. They quickly fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then died.
Whew, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Damn, this one thing had taken them all night and a whole morning to figure out.
They arrived here in the evening yesterday, and it got dark soon after. It was too dark at night to make a move, so they waited until this morning. In the early morning, Zhong Qingyi shot two arrows, but missed.
The two people inside the formation sensed that someone wanted to kill them. Realizing the danger, they hid behind a big tree and dared not come out until they were forced to come out by a cobra that rushed down from the tree.
In just a short while, Zhong Qingyi seized the opportunity to fire an arrow, bringing down the two men.
After the matter was over, the four returned to where they had been resting. Dinner had been prepared; it was a large pot of rabbit stew porridge with dried wild vegetables and mushrooms added. The ingredients were a bit mixed, but the taste was quite good.
During the meal, the four of them could clearly feel the gazes that Liu Chengyu and the others cast at them from time to time. They just couldn't understand why they had been lying in ambush all morning, their faces flushed and their heads spinning from the sun, just to kill two people inside the formation.
What grudge could there be that you have to kill someone to be satisfied?
Ye Moxun naturally wouldn't tell him that the reason he had to kill the two men was because of the information provided by the system. The two men were thugs who specialized in robbery and murder, posing a great threat to Songlin Village. Only by eliminating them could he prevent future troubles.
Although the system is not very reliable and occasionally fails to predict danger, it is quite accurate in understanding the identities and professions of some people, and has not made any mistakes so far.
