A group of people came out aggressively, but when they reached the door, they stopped and looked at the room full of gold and jewelry.
Cao Yu's eyes widened, and the horse thieves following him also stared, almost unable to hold the weapons in their hands.
I have been a horse thief all my life, and I have never seen such a huge wealth.
Seeing them stop, the boys looked at each other.
Erguang shook his head slightly, signaling them not to say anything to urge him.
According to the manic temper of these horse thieves, if anything goes wrong, they may just raise their hands and stab them.
This kind of thing has not happened before in the mountains.
The atmosphere was strange, no one spoke, and a few servants waited patiently.
The first person to come back to his senses was Cao Yu. He coughed lightly and said, "Let's go."
Holding the big knife, he took the lead and walked outside.
The reason why Mrs. Bian sent him here is precisely because compared to the other ten leaders, he is less reckless, has a calmer temper, and has a brain to know what should be done and what should not be done.
Everyone came out holding torches. Compared with the Dongshantou over the Longhu Hall, there was not much water here. The shoes got wet and even the knees were wet.
A horse thief stepped on the air and his legs were covered in mud.
"Oh shit!"
He shouted and kicked the water hard.
Others were splashed and scolded him angrily.
"Where are we going now?" Cao Yu looked at the boys.
Er Guang looked at Lao San and Lao Si.
Si Guang said: "Those servants and women took their things and went up the mountain, and there are still some child slaves left in the courtyard."
"They separated?" Cao Yu asked.
Si Guang nodded: "It seems that those child slaves were left behind."
"Then what are you waiting for!" shouted a horse thief, "let's go after those servant women first?"
Cao Yu frowned and said nothing.
"Boss?" the horse thief called.
Cao Yu thought for a while and asked, "How long have they been there?"
Counting the time before and after, Siguang said: "It's almost three hours."
"It's been so long, do you think we can catch up?" Cao Yu looked at the horse thief who spoke before.
"Moreover," Cao Yu retracted his gaze and looked up at the mountains above, "It's already so dark now. If they did some tricks on the road and set some invisible traps, do you think we have never been there?
Will it be safe for people on this road?"
The horse thief nodded: "Boss, you are right, what should we do now?"
"Let's go and take a look at the back first. We can't make this trip in vain." Cao Yu looked at Sanguang and Siguang, "Lead the way."
The two of them had actually wanted to go back for a long time.
The wooden bed in my room is far from comfortable, but the desire for it now is simply worth the temptation of any food!
But I had to listen to Cao Yu's words.
Siguang glanced at Sanguang helplessly, and the two of them walked forward in a nonchalant manner.
The road here is particularly difficult. In the morning, they went around for a long time before climbing up a slope with great pains.
The road up there is even more winding. I walked for a long time in the morning and got lost when I came back in the afternoon.
If Yu's mother hadn't been chasing them with a hoe, they might have gotten here by accident, and they might have continued to get lost.
He took Cao Yu and the others to the upper slope, climbed up again with great difficulty, and then walked around blindly while holding a torch.
However, you can still see the direction of the compound over there from a distance. It's dark and no one is there.
"Didn't you say there are still girls?" Cao Yu said.
"I don't know," Siguang's legs felt weak, "Maybe after letting us go, they will go after those bitches."
"Damn it! What's the point of that!" Cao Yu cursed.
I originally thought of going to the backyard so that these girls could at least get something to eat. What else are they going to eat now?!
The water rushed past their feet and flowed downwards, and everyone continued walking with difficulty.
After going around for a while, I finally came out and went down along the northeast stream. The whole compound was empty.
The wind blew, and a few fallen leaves fell on Cao Yu's head.
Cao Yu took off the leaves and stared at the compound reflected in the firelight, his eyes widened.
"Boss, boss." A horse thief shouted, it was unbelievable.
Cao Yu crumpled the leaves into a ball, threw them away viciously, strode over to the rice vat over there, and opened the lid.
empty!
Oil cylinder.
empty!
Where is the pot on the stove?
Where's the shovel over there?
Where is the rope from the well?
There were only a few greasy and dirty broken bowls on the table, and a table full of meat and bones, with chopsticks scattered all over the place and not arranged at all.
Cao Yu grabbed the nearest table, shook it, and overturned it.
"Damn it!" Cao Yu scolded.
"Nothing was left," another horse thief said, "Even the doors and windows were taken away..."
Hurrah, another gust of northwest wind blew over.
Cao Yu's heart was cold to the core.
"I'm going to kill them! I'm going to kill them!"
"Madam!" Siguang turned back and looked at the cliff opposite.
Mrs. Bian and a bunch of maids and boys were standing over there, Bian Yuanxue was also there, the aunts were all there, and there were also confused Bian Lei and Bian Yuanfeng.
It's really gone.
Nothing is left.
The doors are gone!
Mrs. Bian blinked.
Cao Yu pointed to the courtyard and shouted at Mrs. Bian: "Look! What else are you eating?"
While cursing, he raised his foot and kicked the bench away.
"Mother..." Bian Yuanxue looked at Mrs. Bian blankly.
Mrs. Bian was supported by Caiming and could no longer stand.
"They really ran away, are they all dying?" Aunt Zhao was completely dumbfounded.
"What should we eat!" Bian Yuanxue stamped his feet, "I don't have anything to eat, I'm already starving to death!"
Speaking of being hungry, Bian Yuanfeng, who had just woken up, was clutching his stomach and almost going crazy with hunger.
"Chase!" Mrs. Bian regained her breath and shouted in a deep voice, "We must chase! Go chase! Chase all these cunning women back to me! I want to ask why they do this! Where do they have the courage?
!”
The last shout was so loud and broken that she choked and coughed violently.
Caiming stroked her back gently: "Madam."
"Mom!" Bian Yuanxue also went over to caress her.
It was dark along the road, and Yu's mother supported Liang and finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
Mrs. Liang's shoulder hurt badly, and because of the rain, the side of the wound was burning.
The servants are eating.
Aunt Feng saw them and hurriedly came over: "Why are you hurt?"
"I met two cheap hooves!" Mrs. Liang cursed fiercely.
Aunt Feng helped support her: "Come here, take care of it first."
Mrs. Liang told these things while walking.
Aunt Feng frowned and said, "I didn't realize that those two little girls were so courageous."
"They were slapped by me," Liang said, "but they still didn't understand their hatred, so they just let them run away. It's best not to let me meet them. If they meet again, I will definitely hang them up and whip them!"
