Yamazaki didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Please, with just a dozen steps away, even a top-notch expert can't stop you from pouncing and flinging your hands away!"
"Forget it, robbery, hehe." Shan Dai geared up.
Yamazaki quickly lay on the ground and listened, "Take it to the woods, don't let anyone see it."
"clear."
Shan Dai easily picked up the two bodies, jumped into the forest, and then came back.
"Brother, they came on horseback."
"Hurry up, we'll talk about the rest later."
"knew."
Shandai moved two more bodies, and then came back to move the remaining two bodies.
Yamazaki waited for her to enter the forest, then got up from the ground.
There was no sound of hoofbeats, so no one should have seen it.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then led the horse into the depths of the forest.
…
The six bodies were placed behind six trees, blocked by tree trunks and shrubs, and could never be seen from the road outside the forest.
Although Shandai has no experience in the world of martial arts, she has read a lot of scripts and knows how to avoid people's attention without even thinking about it.
Yamasaki settled the horses and checked the six horses in the forest.
No marks were found on the horse, no marks on the saddle, and no marks on the horses' hooves.
Safety.
On the other hand, the two horses of our own family all bear the mark of Shanjiabao. If anyone wants to find them, they should chase them one by one.
Yamazaki was wondering whether he should leave his horse at a restaurant in Shanjiabao in the next city.
My thoughts went around in a big circle, but I couldn't make up my mind. After all, they were from Shanjiabao.
…
Shan Dai complained, "Brother, these people are poor people. They don't even have a banknote, they only have scattered money. No wonder they come to rob."
"It should be that we exposed our wealth somewhere and were targeted by them."
"It's really strange. We don't wear brocade clothes or spend money lavishly. How do they know we have money?"
Yamazaki said: "It's a horse. Our horse has the mark of Shanjiabao."
Shandai curled her lips, "Ha, let me tell you, our ancestors were afraid that we would be too bored on the road and wanted to find some fun for us."
Yamazaki shook his head, "You can't say that. They knew we were from Shanjiabao, so they planned to let us go."
Shandai couldn't help scratching her head, "What should we do now? If a person dies and cannot be resurrected, then this hatred is settled."
Yamazaki sighed: "This is what I'm worried about too. Can you look through it again and see if there are any tokens or anything like that on them?"
Shan Dai shook his head, "I looked over and found nothing. The weapons they brought were not unique weapons. They were just steel knives that can be found in ordinary blacksmith shops. They have no inscriptions or marks."
"Well, maybe they are afraid that we will recognize them in the future." Yamazaki thought, "What about hidden weapons? Are there any unique hidden weapons?"
Shandai showed her harvest, "It seems there is none. The main hidden weapon is a handful of locust stones worth one tael of silver."
"Then each person has a set of trick sleeve arrows. This should be more expensive. It is probably what they use to save their lives and eat."
"The last are these, poisonous darts with evil hands."
Yamazaki asked, "What poison? What medicine did they bring?"
Shan Dai continued to explain, "The medicine is an ordinary gold medicine, and there is smoke for escape. The poison should be snake venom."
Shandai held a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Yamazaki.
Yamazaki uncorked the bottle, waved his hand to fan it, and smelled something fishy, which was indeed snake venom.
Yamazaki wondered, "Do they have any salt?"
"Salt?" Shandai rummaged through the pile of odds and ends, "There really isn't any."
"I understand, they are not travelers from afar, and they are not intending to rob someone temporarily."
"He followed us, then went around in front of us to block us, so he didn't have the necessary salt on his body when going out."
"Jianghu people don't need to bring dry food because they can hunt and barbecue."
"But you must bring salt, otherwise the barbecue will have no flavor."
"And salt doesn't take up much space, so it's a must-have for people in the world when they go out."
Shandai shook her head and talked a lot. The more she talked, the more proud she became, because the more she talked, the more she felt it was right.
Yamazaki was funny, "Okay, pack up and let's go."
"Of course we have to take the horses and things with us. What should we do with these remains? Are we going to dig a hole for them?"
"Why not? It won't cost us anything anyway, and they gave us six horses anyway."
"Okay, you go first, I'll pack the things."
…
Yamazaki walked deep into the forest, found an open space, pressed down with his palm, and breathed out his inner energy to loosen the soil.
Then he shoveled the soil with the newly acquired scabbard, and in a short time he dug a pit that could accommodate one person.
Yamazaki did not stop, shaking the soil again and continuing to dig deeper.
Always dig three feet deep to avoid being gouged by wild animals.
After Yamazaki finished digging two holes, Shandai came to help.
With one press of her palm, she could drive it three feet into the ground. However, she didn't pay attention to her work, and her digging speed was just that, not as fast as Yamazaki's.
Yamazaki dug the fourth hole, but she hadn't finished digging the third hole yet.
…
"This is?"
Yamazaki dug up the soil and found a skeleton, which was already white bones, and the silk clothes were in tatters.
Yes, I bet there are already residents here.
Yamazaki didn't look too much, not wanting to think about what happened to it before it was buried here.
Bury it again, press it firmly with your palms, and continue in another place.
…
Six bodies were placed in the six pits, and the excess soil was covered with them and pressed flat with the force of the palms of the hands.
Seeing that nothing could be seen from the surface, Yamasaki sprinkled dead branches and leaves on top to cover up the traces of excavation.
When it rains heavily in the future, the rain will bind the soil together, making it difficult to distinguish it.
No one would know that six Jianghu people are buried here.
But for Jianghu people, having a place to bury their bones is already good.
…
The two of them led eight horses and walked forward in the forest for a while before returning to the road.
Although it was not early, the two of them and eight horses hurried all the way and finally caught up with the inn at noon.
To be precise, it was the pointed tea shed outside the inn.
There were caravans and a lot of idlers in the tea shed, a mixture of good and bad.
However, not all the caravan members have entered, and there are still empty seats inside.
The brother and sister took their seats and ordered three steamed buns.
The two people and eight horses were a bit eye-catching, and some people whispered that they were attending a funeral or something.
Yamazaki held Shandai down, and all the people in the world who scolded the emperor were gone. One more thing is worse than one less thing.
…
Soon, the vegetable buns arrived.
There are eight buns in a basket. They are not big and can be eaten in two or three mouthfuls.
Yamazaki ate eight from one cage, and Shandai ate sixteen from two cages, which was eye-catching.
Someone next door clucked his tongue and said, "Good boy, I've never seen such a delicious woman."
"Stop talking, it's none of your business!"
His companion scolded him, and then he raised his hand in this direction. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear, it was Haihan.
Yamazaki nodded in greeting, then paid the bill, and took the unhappy Shandai away.
Disputes between rivers and lakes often start with quarrels.
There is no serious reason, it is common for a fight to start with just a gossip or even a look.
Endure as much as you can, and it is better to do less than to do more.
