Hu Axiong wanted revenge.
If Shenxi hadn't come, these villages would have been looted as well. The next day, they spread the word that Shenxi had known about the situation all along, but was too afraid to come to the rescue, so that the people would know how heartless Shenxi was.
If Chenxi comes, then don't leave.
But what he didn't expect was that Cao Qiang made a mistake.
Cao Qiang didn't come to Luzhuangzi himself, but sent his subordinate Cao Zheng to do it. Cao Qiang and Hu Axiong stayed together.
When Cao Zheng arrived at the village, he found no villagers. He searched the mountains and injured several people in the process.
He searched the entire village but found nothing of value, leaving him feeling very angry.
"That bearded man is a liar. He said that if you come here, you can steal things."
In fact, Hu Axiong did not lie completely. Although Luzhuangzi was still very poor, because the mountain roads were difficult to travel, the food provided by the higher authorities would be enough for two weeks, so that it would not be difficult to come every time.
Two weeks' worth of food just arrived the day before yesterday.
The people of Kelu Village are used to being cautious; they would never store their grain directly in their homes, but would always find a particularly secluded place to store it.
As a result, Cao Zheng and his men got nothing.
They went straight back to the back of the mountain and reported back to Hu Axiong.
Hu Axiong kicked him angrily: "Why don't you burn the village down?"
Cao Zheng was not under Hu Axiong's jurisdiction, and this kick only fueled his anger. However, seeing that Cao Qiang didn't say anything, he didn't dare to provoke him.
"Didn't you say that Chenxi would come? I burned down the village, and you could see the flames from far away. Wouldn't she be scared away?"
Hu Axiong got even angrier and kicked him again: "It would be strange if you didn't get a fever."
In the past, they were bandits who burned, killed, and looted. If they suddenly stopped burning, everyone would be suspicious.
Where is the spy?
Hu Axiong was furious. The scouts hadn't brought back any news yet, and Shenxi hadn't arrived.
Just then, a scout returned: "Boss, Chen Xi is here."
